CIA sponsored slaughter in Columbia

[plazul]

As Bush congratulates himself for liberating Iraq from a brutal dictator and his ruthless death squads the CIA continues to wage its secret cocaine funded war in Columbia. Iraq dominates the news while innocent Columbian Indians and other rural villagers are murdered in front of their families for suspected involvment with left wing guerillas.

The lefttist forces control roughly half of the cocaine trade and CIA is ramping up efforts to put them out of business which will leave its right wing, contra style, lackeys in full control of the illicit multi-billion dollar industry.

CIA no longer has to report on crimes commited by its foreign assets and the war crimes commited by CIA sponsored forces in Columbia are every bit as shocking as any of the attrocities commited by Saddam, with the exception of the genocide against the Kurds. But as many as 800 people have been murdered at one time in Columbia.

This is not a contrived story. On the web you'll find a lot of credible foreign news organization reporting about the situation in Columbia and a number of books have been written on the torture, bloodshed, and awful human suffering there. But the only news you'll get from the mainstream press in America is about the money being spent on the "war on drugs" in Columbia. What a travesty.

Does anyone remember the name of the guy that built cigarette boats for all the drug kings of the world and around early nineties was building one for Geo Bush Sr.? Then got whacked while sitting in his Benz in front of a Miami Beach Hotel? Three or four rounds to the head, they just couldn’t fix that window glass. I’d really like to know. Know anything about Nina Arkansas. Our legislators are in bed with organized crime. Take that to the bank. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was killed by an assassin's bullets after he didn’t allow the CIA to send the Mafia to Cuba to Do Castro and told his Daddies friends, the Syndicate to take a hike. I didn’t vote for him but I sould have quite a man. Who do you think did Bobbie? There’s so much more, it makes my head hurt so I’ll continue at another posting. I‘ll bet you just can’t wait

I used to follow organized crime involving municipal and other government corruption but I don't keep up like I used to. There's a website devoted entirely to organized crime news and profiles of known mob figures called mafia.com or something like that. I bet you could Google it up.

There's a fine line between political patronage and corruption and I've seen many politicians cross it . In most of those incidents the Italian mafia families were involved. The traditional Italian mob has been conducting a PR campaign for years trying to get the public to believe that the Italian mafia is just an urban myth which slanders Italian Americans and that the days of Al Capone and murderous mobsters are over. Bilge. In my life I've seen many other organized crime families emerge out of Mexico, Russia, Columbia, Japan, you name it.

Organized crime is everywhere and when you know what to look for it's frightening. Most people think of gaming when they think of the mob but organized crime doesn't cheat it's players on their action. That would be bad for business because the odds are already against the customer the minute he walks through the door. They make enough just cleaning up on reckless chumps and drunk patrons.

The real purpose of Casinos is for money laundering, not gambling. In the United States you can't go around spending a lot of cash or depositing and withdrawing large amounts of cash without attracting the attention of the IRS. If they show up you have to account for every penney and explain how you earned it. The mob has tons of ill gotten gains from its vice operations such as porn, prostituion, sports betting, narcotics, and so on. They also have lots of under the table cash from chop shops, protection money, and various and sundry rackteering schemes. And they run quasi legitimate businesses too like garbage hauling monopolies and construction companies that run on political patronage contracts which are also used for money laundering.

Here's how it works: Mob soldiers deliver cash shipments to the casinos and the accountants slowly *lose* it in the casino so it appears on the books as normal profit from the public's ordinary gaming activity. Then they report the income and pay their fair share of taxes on the *business revenue* just like any other good corporate citizen.

Being an IRS criminal investigation agent in this environment is as dangerous as any foreign intelligence assignment, if not more so. The magnitude of the money laudering operations is so huge and there are so few agents that it's hardly worth the effort.Plus, organized crime now has super sophisticated counter measures (including high test wire encrytion) and surveillance tools that are far superior in most cases to what IRS and FBI have though that has changed somewhat with the inception of Homeland Security.

In the Cold War Days there used to be an FBI poster of an all American business man in a blue business suit carrying a brief case. The caption was, "Meet your friendly KGB agent." You could make the same poster to depict most mob bosses these days who are known in their communities as civic minded good guys who contribute to charity and have kids on the soccer team.

Yes, when polticians move up in the world from city councilor, to state representative, to congressman or senator, sooner or later they're going to shake hands with the mob. Sometimes they wont even know and other times...well, you get my drift.

plazul Nice writing. It becomes evident you have given some consideration to our way of life and Governance. You process with intelligence. We need folks like you in the trenches to protect our sovereignty. Please don’t tire it will be a tough, long fight. There has never been a place like this was and never will be again. The papers with which the Founders endowed once lost will never be found. There are only a few weak things in these writings but they, for a while, have given us greatness and a life only dreamed about by the rest of humanity. Hang in there and keep strokin

Thanks for the compliment, Jay. I'll try to do my part and hope that other Americans will be vigilant in protecting our way of life.

Only if we become nuisances talking and writing about it.

Everyday, the Bush administration and the CIA grow more and more like terrorists. They have become mass murderers and it the fact that very little know about all the terrible things this government has done sickens me. The government has completely abused its power.

The mafia has worked their way into the fabric of our economy and government, their campaign to keep America in the dark is working well. Many people don't know the extent of the mafia's power.

Yes, Plazul the intelligence and wisdom you bring the forum is incredible.

Thanks Warsai, but all of us have unique perspectives and valuable life experience to bring to the table. I just happen to have a lot of time on my hands right now so I'm posting more than others. I look forward to reading more of your thoughts and seeing new members show up on forumgarden.
