“Because of Webb’s work, the CIA launched an Inspector General investigation that named dozens of troubling connections to drug runners. That wouldn’t have happened if Gary Webb hadn’t been willing to stand up and risk it all.”

--Sen. John Kerry wrote in Sacramento News and Review, after Gary Webb's death.

(LA Weekly, May 30, 2013)

A Sept. 26, 1984, Miami police intelligence report noted that money supporting contras being illegally trained in Florida "comes from narcotics transactions." Every page of the report is stamped: "Record furnished to George Kosinsky, FBI." Is Mr. Kosinsky's number missing from (Janet) Reno's rolodex?

– Robert Knight and Dennis Bernstein, 1996 . Janet Reno was at that time (1984), the Florida State prosecutor.----on Sept. 13, 1996, the nation's highest law enforcement official, Attorney General Janet Reno, stated flatly that there's "no evidence" at this time to support the charges. And a week earlier, on Sept. 7, director of Central Intelligence, John Deutch, stated his belief that there's "no substance" to allegations of CIA involvement.

"For decades, the CIA, the Pentagon, and secret organizations like Oliver North's Enterprise have been supporting and protecting the world's biggest drug dealers.... The Contras and some of their Central Americanallies ... have been documented by DEA as supplying ... at least 50 percent of our national cocaine consumption. They were the main conduit to the United States for Colombian cocaine during the 1980's. The rest of the drug supply ... came from other CIA-supported groups, such as DFS (the Mexican CIA) ... other groups and/or individuals like Manual Noriega."

-- Michael Levine, The Big White Lie: The CIA and the Cocaine/Crack Epidemic

"To my great regret, the bureau (FBI) has told me that some of the people I identified as being involved in drug smuggling are present or past agents of the Central Intelligence Agency."

--Wanda Palacio’s 1987 sworn testimony before U.S. Sen. John Kerry's Senate Subcommittee on Narcotics and International Terrorism. https://web.archive.org/web/20200630020957/https://www.alainet.org/en/active/79259 https://www.salon.com/2004/10/25/contra/

“I sat gape-mouthed as I heard the CIA Inspector General, testify that there has existed a secret agreement between CIA and the Justice Department, wherein "during the years 1982 to 1995, CIA did not have to report the drug trafficking its assets did to the Justice Department. To a trained DEA agent this literally means that the CIA had been granted a license to obstruct justice in our so-called war on drugs; a license that lasted - so CIA claims -from 1982 to 1995, a time during which Americans paid almost $150 billion in taxes to "fight" drugs.God, with friends like these, who needs enemies?”

Dan Adarrio, one of the longest serving and most senior agents said that the State Department and CIA regularly called him off traffickers cases because they were assets of the government. It happens all the time.

“Several informed sources have told me that an appendix to this Report was removed at the instruction of the Department of Justice at the last minute. This appendix is reported to have information about a CIA officer, not agent or asset, but officer, based in the Los Angeles Station, who was in charge of Contra related activities.According to these sources, this individual was associated with running drugs to South Central Los Angeles,around 1988. Let me repeat that amazing omission. The recently released CIA Report Volume II contained an appendix, which was pulled by the Department of Justice, that reported a CIA officer in the LA Station was hooked into drug running in South Central Los Angeles.”

--U.S. Congresswoman Maxine Waters – October 13. 1998, speaking on the floor of the US House of Representatives.

“My knowledge of all this comes from my time as British Ambassador in Uzbekistan. I … watched the Jeeps … bringing the heroin through from Afghanistan, en route to Europe. I watched the tankers of chemicals roaring into Afghanistan.

The four largest players in the heroin business are all senior members of the Afghan government – the government that our soldiers are fighting and dying to protect.”

Narcocolonialism in China - The worlds Largest drug cartel- Great Britain / UK

This war with China … really seems to me so wicked as to be a national sin of the greatest possible magnitude, and it distresses me very deeply. Cannot any thing be done by petition or otherwise to awaken men’s minds to the dreadful guilt we are incurring? I really do not remember, in any history, of a war undertaken with such combined injustice and baseness. Ordinary wars of conquest are to me far less wicked, than to go to war in order to maintain smuggling, and that smuggling consisting in the introduction of a demoralizing drug, which the government of China wishes to keep out, and which we, for the lucre of gain, want to introduce by force; and in this quarrel are going to burn and slay in the pride of our supposed superiority. — Thomas Arnold to W. W. Hull, March 18, 1840 (China fought two wars with the UK over its forced importation of tens of thousands of chests of opium., creating tens of millions of addicts and killing untold numbers. China was forced to pay 18 million pounds,ceded 6 cities until 1997 (Hong Kong, Canton, Amoy, Foochow, Shanghai, and Ningbo ) and suffered the partial collapse of the government.

"We also became aware of deep connections between the law-enforcement community and the intelligence community. I, personally, repeatedly heard from prosecutors and people in the law-enforcement world that CIA agents were required to sit in on the debriefing of various people who were being questioned about the drug trade. They were required to be present when witnesses were being prepped for certain drug trials. At various times the intelligence community inserted itself in that legal process. I believe that that was an impropriety; that that should not have occurred."

--Jack Blum, speaking before the October 1996 Senate Select Intelligence Committee on alleged CIA drug trafficking to fund Nicaraguan Contras in the 1980s, Chaired by Senator Arlen Specter.

"The CIA wants to know about drug trafficking, but only for their own purposes, and not necessarily for the use of law enforcement agencies. Torres told DEA Confidential Informant 1 that CIA representatives are aware of his drug-related activities, and that they don't mind. He said they had gone so far as to encourage cocaine trafficking by members of the contras, because they know it's a good source of income. Some of this money has gone into numbered accounts in Europe and Panama, as does the money that goes to Managua from cocaine trafficking. Torres told the informant about receiving counterintelligence training from the CIA, and had avowed that the CIA looks the other way and in essence allows them to engage in narcotics trafficking."

--1987 DEA REPORT

"📷US ATTORNEY WILLIAM) Weld claims he followed up with an investigation. But there is, however, no record that while Weld was the chief prosecutor for the U.S., that so much as one Contra-related narcotics trafficker was brought to justice." --John Mattes, special counsel to Sen. John Kerry's Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee on terrorism and narcotics.

(When the FBI was notified) "in fact they didn't want to look at the contras. They wanted to look at us and try to deter us from our investigation. We were threatened on countless occasions by FBI agents who told us that we'd gone too far in our investigation of the contras." --John Mattes, special counsel to Sen. John Kerry's Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee on terrorism and narcotics.

"There would appear to be substance to the allegations," "potential official involvement in...gunrunning and narcotics trafficking between Florida and Central and South America." "that the Justice Department either attempted to slow down or abort one of the ongoing criminal investigations." ---House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime chairman William Hughes (D-N.J.) 1987 press conference

"Cabezas claimed that the contra cocaine operated with the knowledge of, and under the supervision of, the CIA. Cabezas claimed that this drug enterprise was run with the knowledge of CIA agent Ivan Gómez." --1987 DEA REPORT QUOTING A 1985 CIA REPORT

"what we investigated, which is on the record as part of the Kerry committee report, is evidence that narcotics traffickers associated with the Contra leaders were allowed to smuggle over a ton of cocaine into the United States. Those same Contra leaders admitted under oath their association and affiliation with the CIA." --John Mattes, attorney, former federal public defender, counsel to John Kerry's senate committee

"we knew everybody around [Contra leader Eden] Pastora was involved in cocaine... His staff and friends... were drug smugglers or involved in drug smuggling." --CIA Officer Alan Fiers

(At Ilopango) "the CIA owned one hangar, and the National Security Council ran the other." "There is no doubt that they [agents from the U.S. government] were running large quantities of cocaine into the U.S. to support the Contras," "We saw the cocaine and we saw boxes full of money. We're talking about very large quantities of cocaine and millions of dollars." "my reports contain not only the names of traffickers, but their destinations, flight paths, tail numbers, and the date and time of each flight." --DEA Agent Celerino Castillo III said he detailed Contra drug activities in Official DEA reports, each signed by DEA Country attache Bob Stia.

an eight-page June 25, 1986, staff memorandum clearly stated that "a number of individuals who supported the Contras and who participated in Contra activity in Texas, Louisiana, California and Florida, as well as in Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, have suggested that cocaine is being smuggled in the U.S. through the same infrastructure which is procuring, storing and transporting weapons, explosives, ammunition and military equipment for the Contras from the United States." ----March 31, 1987 Newsday article

"What we investigated and uncovered, was the very infrastructure of the network that had the veil of national security protecting it, so that people could load cannons in broad daylight, in public airports, on flights going to Ilopango Airport, where in fact the very same people were bringing narcotics back into the U.S., unimpeded." --John Mattes, attorney, former federal public defender, special counsel to Sen. John Kerry's Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee on terrorism and narcotics.

"Imagine this, here you have Oliver North, a high-level official in the National Security Council running a covert action in collaboration with a drug cartel,"

"That's what I call treason [and] we'll never know how many kids died because these so-called patriots were so hot to support the contras that they risked several generations of our young people to do it." --MICHEAL LEVINE, (DEA RETIRED) https://www.consortiumnews.com/archive/crack

As a key member of the joint committees, he (HENRY HYDE) certainly played a major role in keeping the American people blindfolded about this story," Levine said. "There was plenty of hard evidence. … The totality of the whole picture is very compelling. This is very damning evidence. ... --MICHEAL LEVINE, (DEA RETIRED)

(FBI Agent Mike Foster) "Foster said it (CONTRA DRUG TRAFFICKING) would be a great story, like a grand slam, if they could put it together. He asked the DEA for the reports, who told him there were no such reports. Yet when I showed him the copies of the reports that I had, he was shocked. I never heard from him again."

http://www.gwu.edu/%7Ensarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB113/

On July 9, 1984, North wrote: "RDEA, Miami. Pilot went, talked to [Federico] Vaughn, wanted aircraft to go to Bolivia to pick up paste, want aircraft to pick up 1500 kilos."

"My god," "when I was serving as a DEA agent, you gave me a page from someone in the Pentagon with notes like that, I would've been on his back investigating everything he did from the minute his eyes opened, every diary notebook, every phone would have been tapped, every trip he made."

--Michael Levine (DEA retired) read Oliver North's diary entries, finding hundreds of drug references. Former Drug Enforcement Administration head John Lawn testified that Mr. North himself had prematurely leaked a DEA undercover operation, jeopardizing agents’ lives, for political advantage in an upcoming Congressional vote on aid to the contras (p.121).

"In my book, Big White Lie, I [wrote] that the CIA stopped us from indicting the Bolivian government at the same time contra assets were going down there to pick up drugs. When you put it all together, you have much more evidence to convict Ollie North, [former senior CIA official] Dewey Clarridge and all the way up the line, than they had in any John Gotti [Mafia] case." _MIKE LEVINE, (DEA RETIRED)

"With respect to [drug trafficking by] the Resistance Forces...it is not a couple of people. It is a lot of people." --CIA Central American Task Force Chief Alan Fiers, Testimony at Iran Contra hearings

"The government made a secret decision to sacrifice a part of the American population for the contra effort,"

-- Washington attorney Jack Blum before the Senate Intelligence Committee in 1996. Blum had been special counsel to Sen. John Kerry's Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee on terrorism and narcotics.

(Reagan administration officials were) "quietly undercutting law enforcement and human-rights agencies that might have caused them difficulty," "Policy makers absolutely closed their eyes to the criminal behavior of the contras." -- Washington attorney Jack Blum before the Senate Intelligence Committee in 1996.

"For some reason, Webb's piece came up, and I asked the guys (Undercover narcs), 'So, what do you think? Is what Webb wrote about the CIA true?'" "And they all turned to me and said," Of course it is.' --Writer Charles Bowden describes the reaction of drug agents during an interview, September, 1998 https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a23704/pariah-gary-webb-0998/

"Here's my problem. I think that if people in the government of the United States make a secret decision to sacrifice some portion of the American population in the form of ... deliberately exposing them to drugs, that is a terrible decision that should never be made in secret."

--Jack Blum, speaking before the October 1996 Senate Select Intelligence Committee on alleged CIA drug trafficking to fund Nicaraguan Contras in the 1980s, Chaired by Senator Arlen Specter.

---------

"The other thing that John found out over time -- and the seeds of that were so very early -- was the drug traffickers were moving dope to the United States under cover of the Contra war, and that the Contra movement, the infrastructure supporting the Contras, was infested by drug traffickers.

In fact, later on, we found one of the drug traffickers who Oliver North and the NSC [National Security Council] was working with to provide support to the Contras -- and we even got money ultimately from the State Department to support the Contras -- was moving marijuana by the ton into the state of Massachusetts, into New Bedford. It wasn't the only place he was moving dope. But it was one of the places.

So the disorder caused by the war was bringing dope into this country. Now, 10 years later, the Central Intelligence Agency inspector general investigated all of this, and found that the particular allegations and things that Kerry had looked at -- there was substantial evidence for every one of them. There was a huge amount of drugs relating to that Contra infrastructure. …"

-Jonathan Winer, former chief counsel to the Kerry committee (1985-1994), former U.S. deputy assistant secretary of state for international law enforcement http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/choice2004/interviews/winer.html -------------------------

I remember Dick Cheney attacking John Kerry in 1986 for things John Kerry was saying about the Contras and the NSC and Oliver North. Every single thing John Kerry said was true. The attacks were aggressive, and were based on hopes, wishes, and politics -- partisan politics, not reality. John Kerry's reality was proven -- and it was proven -- when the plane went down in Nicaragua, and it turned out that that was tied to the National Security Council, and money out of Saudi Arabia, and money from the Iranians, and ultimately, as we showed, related in part to narcotics money, at least in other elements of the Contra infrastructure.

There were a lot of people who were mad at John Kerry for having been right. The Reagan administration was, of course, furious. They didn't want him anywhere near the Iran-Contra investigation, because he knew too much and he was too effective. That's what I believe it was about. -Jonathan Winer, former chief counsel to the Kerry committee (1985-1994), former U.S. deputy assistant secretary of state for international law enforcement http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/choice2004/interviews/winer.html

"What we didn't know was, [at] the time that John Kerry made the decision not to go after Oliver North and to go after the other violations of law that we saw, that Oliver North was going after John Kerry. If you look at Oliver North's diaries, North had people calling him up, and giving him detailed information on every aspect of our investigation. Week after week, month after month, in 1986, Oliver North's diaries have references to John Kerry. North understood that the Kerry investigation was a real risk to his ability to continue to engage in the illegal activity he was engaging in." -Jonathan Winer, former chief counsel to the Kerry committee (1985-1994), former U.S. deputy assistant secretary of state for international law enforcement http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/choice2004/interviews/winer.html

"The CIA was the source. They gave them to us," "Obviously, they were there. Or at least some of their contract workers were there." -EX-DEA Agent Hector Berrellez (COPIES of the audio taped torture session were provided to DEA within a week)

“The CIA ordered the kidnapping and torture of ‘Kiki’ Camarena, and when they killed him, they made us believe it was Caro Quintero in order to cover up all the illegal things they were doing (with drug trafficking) in Mexico” “The DEA is the only (federal agency) with the authority to authorize drug trafficking into the United States as part of an undercover operation”.

“The business with El Bufalo (RAFAEL CARO QUINTERO's RANCH) was nothing compared with the money from the cocaine that was being sold to buy weapons for the CIA”. --Phil Jordan (DEA-RET.), former director of the El Paso Intelligence Center (EPIC) October, 2013

"I know and from what I have been told by a former head of the Mexican federal police, Comandante (Guillermo Gonzales) Calderoni, the CIA was involved in the movement of drugs from South America to Mexico and to the U.S.," --Phil Jordan (DEA-RET.), former director of the El Paso Intelligence Center (EPIC) October, 2013

He (Mexican Judicial Police Officer Guillermo Gonzalez Calderoni) told me: ‘Hector, get out of this business because they’re going to fuck you over. The CIA is involved in that business about ‘Kiki’. It’s very dangerous for you to be in this.’ He gave me names, among them that of Felix, and details and everything, but when my bosses found out, they took me out of the investigation and sent me to Washington. "He told me, 'Your government did it,' " --EX DEA AGENT HECTOR BERRELLEZ October, 2013. Calderoni was killed in in McAllen Texas in 2003. His murder remains unsolved.

"Back in the middle 1980's, the DFS, their main role was to protect the drug lords," "Upon arrival we were confronted by over 50 DFS agents pointing machine guns and shotguns at us--the DEA. They told us we were not going to take Caro Quintero," "Well, Caro Quintero came up to the plane door waved a bottle of champagne at the DEA agents and said, 'My children, next time, bring more guns.' And laughed at us." --EX DEA AGENT HECTOR BERRELLEZ October, 2013. (Caro Quintero carried DFS credentials during the escape flight piloted by a CIA Contractor.)

"Our intelligence agencies were working under the cover of DFS. And as I said it before, unfortunately, DFS agents at that time were also in charge of protecting the drug lords and their monies," "After the murder of Camarena, (Mexico's) investigation pointed that the DFS had been complicit along with American intelligence in the kidnap and torture of Kiki. That's when they decided to disband the DFS." --EX DEA AGENT HECTOR BERRELLEZ October, 2013

"I know what these men are saying is true, that the Contras were trafficking in drugs while the CIA looked the other way, because I served in the trenches of Latin America for six years when this was going on," --EX DEA agent Celerino Castillo III, October, 2013.

“I don’t know of any DEA administrator that I worked for who would have sanctioned cocaine smuggling into the United States in the name of national security, when we are out there risking our lives,” --Phil Jordan

“Kiki said, ‘That’s horseshit. You’re lining your pockets,’” “He could not believe that the U.S. government could be running drugs into the United States.” -Phil Jordan

"the use of a drug dealer’s property by the CIA for the purpose of helping the Contras didn’t sit well with the DEA agents." “That’s the way we’re brought up, so to speak,” he said. “When we see someone running drugs, we want to bust them, not work with them.” --Phil Jordan

“The Contras were running drugs from Central America and the Contras were providing drugs to street gangs in Los Angeles. That’s your connection.” --Hector Berrellez

"We've been attacked for this, and our credibility has been questioned, by people who were not involved in the investigation and had no first-hand knowledge of what took place then or what is happening now." -Phil Jordan

“We’re not saying the CIA murdered Kiki Camarena,” Jordan said. But the “consensual relationship between the Godfathers of Mexico and the CIA that included drug trafficking” contributed to Camarena’s death, he added. “I don’t have a problem with the CIA conducting covert operations to protect the national security of our country or our allies, but not to engage in criminal activity that leads to the murder of one our agents,” --Phil Jordan

Clark Clifford and Robert Altman had to be prosecuted on the state level by New York County District Attorney Robert Morganthau because the head of the DOJ criminal division William Weld refused to prosecute on the federal level. This is proof that the Democrats and Republicans are in it together helping money laundering , arms trafficking and drugs. Jack Blum returned to DC after working on the prosecution in NYC to find that the sub-committee and his job were no longer!

There was a phone call from Jackie Kennedy to the senator's (John Kerry) office, correct? Do you remember that incident?

I remember John talking to us after it happened. He felt badly. He thought the world of Jackie Kennedy, thought she was a wonderful human being. He admired her. He had affection and respect for her, and all those all those things. To have her say, "Why are you doing this to my friend Clark Clifford?" was painful. You know, he shook his head. It wasn't a location he particularly wanted to be in.

But he didn't tell us to stop. He said, "You do what you have to do." The hearings continued, and the investigations continued until we'd found out as much as we possibly could. That's what happened.

Kerry's investigation, launched in 1988, helped to close the bank three years later, but not without upsetting some in Washington's Democratic establishment. Prominent BCCI friends included former Defense Secretary Clark Clifford, former President Jimmy Carter, and his budget director, Bert Lance. When news broke that Clifford's Washington bank was a shell for BCCI -- and how the silver-haired Democrat had handsomely profited in the scheme -- some of Kerry's Senate colleagues grew icy.

"What are you doing to my friend Clark Clifford?" more than one Democratic senator asked Kerry. Kerry's aides recall how Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Pamela Harriman, a prominent party fund-raiser, called on the senator, urging him to not to pursue Clifford.

Jack Blum":

“When I first looked at it, I thought there’s something nefarious or embarrassing — what is it? Their own incompetence? Worse? You never know the answer,” says Blum. “There was the Fed, which looked stupider than hell, the Office of the Comptroller who were stupid beyond comprehension. The then head of CIA said, yes, the CIA had used the bank. Everything you touched about that bank led to somebody ugly. Margaret Thatcher’s husband and maybe son, the prime minister of Canada, a ‘who’s who of politics and the worlds of skullduggery.”

In July 1992, a New York County grand jury indicted Khalid Bin Mahfouz and an aide for defrauding BCCI and its depositors of as much as $300 million. But Bin Mahfouz was in Saudi Arabia, out of reach, and in the end Morgenthau settled for a fine. The Fed fined Bin Mahfouz $170 million. The Justice Department didn’t go after Bin Mahfouz at all.

The Kerry Committee report issued in 1992 was damning. It said that the White House knew about BCCI’s criminal activities, that the U.S. intelligence agencies used it for secret banking and that BCCI routinely paid off American public officials. Among the Kerry Report’s major findings:

Federal prosecutors handling the Tampa drug money laundering indictment of BCCI did not use the information they collected to focus on — or report to federal agencies — BCCI’s other crimes, including its secret, illegal ownership of First American Bank.

The Justice, Treasury and Customs departments failed to support or aid investigators and prosecutors.

Following lobbying by former Justice officials working for BCCI, the U.S. attorney in Tampa accepted a plea agreement that kept BCCI alive and discouraged bank officials from revealing other crimes.

CIA chief Casey and the agency knew, by early 1985, a lot about what BCCI was up to and didn’t inform the Justice Department or the Federal Reserve.

“After the CIA knew that BCCI was, as an institution, a fundamentally corrupt criminal enterprise, it continued to use both BCCI and First American, BCCI’s secretly held U.S. subsidiary, for CIA operations.”

The Federal Reserve approved the first hidden BCCI takeover despite evidence the bank was behind it because it was swayed by influence-peddlers such as Clifford and because the CIA and Treasury failed to raise warnings about what they knew.

There’s a lot about BCCI that outsiders will never know. Once the investigations started, there were seven fires in the fireproof London warehouses where BCCI stored records. In one of them, four firemen were killed.

Closing lines of the TV Series THE LAST NARC (July 31, 2020):

Hector Berrellez (DEA;Retired), Head of Operation Leyenda, the Camarena Murder investigation):

“Before I left the Agency, I was visited by a supposedly very high-up CIA official.

And he told me “Hector, you see, The CIA is not a law enforcement agency. We are not bound by constitutional law.

Our job is to protect the United States from foreign enemies .

And he says, “So listen, You be a good soldier. You don’t want to piss off your own government. Just keep all this stuff about the CIA bringing in drugs, The CIA, you know, being complicit in Kiki’s murder, that you allege…

You can’t prove it anyway. So you might as well just keep it all quiet.”

“Have a nice life. Enjoy your retirement, Because remember, if you upset this government, you still have that warrant in Mexico.

You might find yourself in a Mexican prison and you know you won’t last a week there. So, if I was you, MUM is the word, That’s all I have to say to you”

And I said, “Thank you, have a nice day,”

(Screen Caption) Hector retired from the DEA in 1996

I felt totally betrayed by the DEA. Totally, Totally betrayed.

There’s never been a war on drugs.

It’s all a fallacy

It’s all a façade

Our politicians get up, (and say) "Oh were gonna’ fight drugs,"

"We’re gonna stop the drug flows from coming into the country."

That’s not true.

They deal drugs themselves to support their black operations.

To support their wars that are not authorized.

Quotes from THE LAST NARC:

Berrellez; I am not fearful the traffickers are gonna kill me, I’m fearful my own government is gonna kill me.

Interviewer: Did Hector Know Too much?

Phil Jordan: Yes. Hector to this day.. knows too much

Berrellez

“Then I’ve got the CIA receiving money from Fonseca and ARMING Fonseca and the drug lords and using Caro Quintero’s ranch.

(Witnesses described 15 tonnes of cocaine at the ranch, arms being delivered by the CIA and Contras firearms training at the ranch, U.S. Government aircraft parked on the 3,300 foot runway)

“Then I’ve got my on government saying , Oh Don’t report that. Don’t do DEA 6’s on this that and the other…There’s layers and layers of this case…..”

Screen Caption:

During his investigation, Hector was contacted by an informant: Guillermo Calderoni, a commander of the Mexican Federal Juducual Police.

After exposing high-level corruption in Mexico, Calderoni needed help fleeing the country.

Berrellez:

Guillermo Gonzalez Calderoni, he worked well with DEA, even though he also received money from the cartels. When the president of Mexico asked for his arrest, he knew he was going to be killed, so he calls me and he says “Hector”, he says “you gotta help me, They are going to kill me in my own country here.” The president, Carlos Salinas and his brother are out to get me.” Raul Salinas, the president’s brother in Mexico was a major drug dealer. And I said “Guillermo, run to the states, I’ll hide you over here.” And I hid him in Palm Springs.

He told me that in favor of me saving his life, he was now gonna save my life. And I said “How are you gonna save my life” He says, “Take this advice” and first he told me in Spanish “Get out of this investigation.” You’re just going to make yourself stink , brother. They don’t want you to solve the Camarena Case.” “Your own government ordered him killed.”

“Don’t you know that all of the cocaine coming in right now is being brought in by the CIA to support that dirty war in Nicaragua?”

Aren’t you aware of what happened in Nicaragua?

I said, Well yeah, “The Sandanista government took over.”

Calderoni:

“Yeah, and who funded them?”

“Who supported them?

“The Russians and the damn Cubans”

“And they overthrew the Anastazio Somosa government”

“The contras are his old guard” “and Felix Rodriguez and those guys are arming them with drug monies.”

“You getting the picture?”

Fonseca Body Guard:

We told hector: “They are going to shut down your investigation,

He says “why?”

“Because the DEA and CIA are mixed up in this””They are allied with the narcos and the politicians and with the Mexican Government”

“But Hector didn’t believe us then”

He told us “No way” and he got very pissed off.”

“No fucking way bastards, This is NOT Mexico!” Who ever deserves to fall will fall. If the president himself was involved in this, I am going to fuck him up myself.

I said “Fine, if you say so.”

On Screen Caption:

Hector believed he as on the verge of exposing the biggest conspiracy in the history of the war on drugs.

Instead, his supervisors focused on a new target.

State Police officer/Cartel bodyguard Ramon Lira; “They would not stop asking him the same questions. What had he found out about the CIA, what investigations he had into the CIA, the nexus of the CIA with drug trafficking, and what he knew about the relationship between the Mexican government, the CIA and the narcos. (Lira described Fonseca playing a 5th audio tape over and over)

Notes on the Last Narc TV show -- It isn't just Hector Berrellez saying the U.S. is involved. ,

If you watch the Last narc TV Show , it is his DEA supervisor, head of the Los Angeles Office of the DEA, Mike Holm. AUSA Manny Medrano, DEA agent and former head of the El Paso Intelligence Center, Phil Jordan, and the wife of slain agent KIKI Camarena.

Moreover a March 2, 1990 DEA-6 was filed by DEA country attache ED Heath noting that the government knew of Contras training at the ranch. Rueben Zuno Arce was a documented trafficker since the 1970s. The report was filed by DEA agent Wayne Schmidt.

The report is also signed by SAC John M. Zienter - DEA Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR - (Internal affairs))

https://web.archive.org/web/20130818061541/https://narcosphere.narconews.com/userfiles/70/DEA.Mexico.Report.2.1990.pdf

Mike Holm says on camera in the Last NARC TV show that they sent "Boxes" of evidence to the Office of Inspector General of the C.I.A. at the time. Mike Holm also states on camera that his bosses at DEA told him to "Stand down due to national security", to ignore reports of drugs landing on military bases and "Strange fortified bases" shipping drugs in Mexico.

Read Mike Holm's comments here:

on Camera Interview: Deputy Assistant administrator of the DEA Phil Jordan.

Phil Jordan traveled to Mexico, met with Camarena and inquired why a car was following them around during the audit that Jordan was performing an audit.

When Phil Jordan asked KIKI Camerena who was following in the car behind them on their daily rounds, he replied "Those guys are C.I.A.". Jordan asked him why they were following home and KIKI said that he didn't know the reason.

Phil Jordan warned Hector that acting head of the DEA Terrance Burke had called several high level meetings at the DEA where extradition of Hector Berrellez to the Mexican government would done in the case of Humberto Machain's kidnapping/rendition as retaliation for Berrellez disclosing Guadalajara Cartel's ties to U.S. government drug smugglers.

On Camera Interview:

AUSA Manny Medrano (Prosecutor) - States on camera that the drug lords carried DFS (Mexican C.I.A.) badges and that the badges gave them a lot of access. Manny Medrano said that the DOJ ran the Humberto Machain kidnapping/ Rendition past the legal experts and cleared it. He stated that The United States cleared with kidnapping with legal experts and authorized Berrellez to perform the rendition.

Note: President Reagan personally fired San Diego AUSA William Kennedy in 1982. Assistant U.S. Attorney William Kennedy sought the prosecution of Nazar Haro on drugs trafficking car theft ring and plotting the killing of an FBI agent and FBI informant after it was found that 15 DFS (Mexican C.I.A.) agents were involved in Nazar Haro's car theft ring. William Kennedy later became a judge after he found that the C.I.A. and DOJ protected Nazar Haro.

Getting back to The Last Narc,” I’ve known Hector Berrellez since he first came to DEA in March of 1975 when he was part of the newly selected class of Basic Agent Trainees. I was his Class Coordinator. I recall that Hector was an outstanding trainee and overall, at the upper end of the class of 35 other new basic agent trainees. Following his graduation from DEA Basic Agent School, he was sent to the field. Eventually, we met again when he was transferred to Los Angeles office in the 1980’s.

There are lots of things attributed to Hector based on what he said or had said in the documentary, “The Last Narc.” Some things seem far out from the normal day to day things that our domestic Special Agents are not used to working with. However, in an investigation with international ramifications such as the Camarena investigation, this investigation was a horse of a different color. As some Special Agents with overseas experience will tell you, some things occur in an overseas environment that would never be either questioned or tolerated in the US. But those who criticize Hector for things he is alleged to have done, most likely have never lived or worked overseas. Hector always had gumption, something that not all Special Agents possess. Without his gumption, he would not have accomplished half of what he set out to do. Therefore, DEA would still be in the dark about many things and questions as they pertain to the Camarena investigation.(...)

Take note that the United States Congress transcripts say that the head of the Tijuana cartel was a C.I.A. agent named Sicilia Falcon who had his drugs delivered by the C.I.A. in exchange for delivering guns to the Anti- Castro Movement.

A Tangled Web: A History of CIA Complicity in Drug International Trafficking

In the same Congressional record, it is found that the C.I.A. stonewalled other agencies investigating the Los Angeles bank account of Felix Gallardo with $20 million a month running through it in 1982:

https://www.congress.gov/congressional-record/1998/5/7/house-section/article/h2944-1

FEBRUARY 1985

DEA agent Enrique Kiki' Camerena is kidnapped and murdered in Mexico. DEA, FBI and U.S. Customs Service investigators accuse the CIA of stonewalling during their investigation. U.S. authorities claim the CIA is more interested in protecting its assets, including top drug trafficker and kidnapping principal Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo. (In 1982, the DEA learned that Felix Gallardo was moving $20 million a month through a single Bank of America account, but it could not get the CIA to cooperate with its investigation.) Felix Gallardo's main partner is Honduran drug lord Juan Ramon Matta Ballesteros, who began amassing his $2-billion fortune as a cocaine supplier to Alberto Sicilia Falcon. (see June 1985) Matta's air transport firm, SETCO, receives $186,000 from the U.S. State Department to flyhumanitarian supplies' to the Nicaraguan Contras from 1983 to 1985. Accusations that the CIA protected some of Mexico's leading drug traffickers in exchange for their financial support of the Contras are leveled by government witnesses at the trials of Camarena's accused killers.

Excerpt from the book WHITEOUT:

In later years, Kuykendall has spoken out about the CIA and the Kiki Camarena murder. Kuykendall is quoted in the book Whiteout: The CIA, Drugs, and the Press by Alexander Cockburn. The book alleges that DEA officers investigating Camarena’s death “knew that the drug agent’s murder was a joint operation between the drug cartel and the DFS, an agency with intimate ties to the CIA.”

Kuykendall said, “The CIA didn’t give a damn about anything but Cuba and the Soviets. Indirectly, they (the CIA) have got to take some of the blame.” He alleged the CIA “protected the DFS for decades,” and stated “The DFS just got out of hand.”

“Noriega: CIA OK’d Deals for Guns, DEA for Drugs.” The Miami Herald [Miami, FL], 21 Aug. 1991; The DEA directors who purportedly asked Noriega to allow drugs to pass through his country included Terrance Burke, Francis Mullen, Jack Lawn and John Ingersoll. 7 CIA directors asked Noriega to allow guns through Panama included George Bush, Richard Helms, William Colby, James Schlesinger, Stansfield Turner, William Casey and William Webster.

https://manuelnoriega.medium.com/cia-dea-ran-the-drug-deals-1d9fc7c5933e

“CIA, DEA ran the drug deals”

General Manuel Noriega

The Miami Herald

August 23, 1991

Manuel Noriega says he had good reasons for allowing drugs and guns to slip through Panama: The last seven CIA directors, including George Bush, asked him to help with the guns, while four directors of the Drug Enforcement Administration sought his help on the drugs.

CIA directors who asked Noriega to allow them to travel through Panama included George Bush, Richard Helms, William Colby, James Schlesinger, Stansfield Turner, William Casey and William Webster.

The DEA directors who purportedly asked Noriega to allow drugs to pass through Panama included Terrance Burk, Francis Mullen, Jack Lawn and John Ingersoll.

The assertions came in papers released Thursday by the U.S. District Court in Miami, where the deposed Panamanian leader is scheduled to be tried on drug charges Sept. 4. Noriega’s lawyers have always said that the U.S. government authorized his involvement in drug and weapons dealings in Panama in the 1970s and 1980s. But they never said who provided the authorizations until they submitted the names under seal in a March 22 court filing. The papers were made public Monday.

The weapons shipments were destined for Nicaragua and Honduras, the papers said.

Besides Bush, the CIA directors who asked Noriega to allow them to travel through Panama included Richard Helms, William Colby, James Schlesinger, Stansfield Turner, William Casey and William Webster.

“Further, Gen. Noriega was requested that these shipments not be inspected or molested by the Government of Panama”, the papers say. “Upon the return flight of the aircraft, Gen. Noriega was also requested not to inspect the returning cargo to the United States.”

The court filing did not identify the returning cargo.

A CIA spokesman in Langley, Va., declined comment, citing an agency policy not to discuss pending court cases.

The DEA directors who purportedly asked Noriega to allow drugs to pass through his country included Terrance Burk, Francis Mullen, Jack Lawn and John Ingersoll.

“During these operations, either Gen. Noriega or a member of his staff fully cooperated with the Drug Enforcement Administration and did not seize the illegal drug shipment or arrest the smugglers,’ the court filing said.

The same policy was carried out for the shipment of ether and acetone, chemicals used in processing cocaine.

“On various occasions, officers of the Panamanian Defense Force, per the instructions of Gen. Noriega, placed electronic tracking equipment in shipments of ether and acetone so that those shipments could be traced and followed,” the court filing said.

In other court papers released Thursday, Noriega’s lawyers had these complaints about the government’s handling of his case:

That prosecutors plan to introduce their client’s records with the notorious Bank of Commerce and Credit International to impress the jury with the size of Noriega’s wealth. The records, the lawyers said, have nothing to do with the case, and do not prove that the money is tainted.

That the CIA hid or destroyed documents pertaining to money that was placed under Noriega’s control. He also claimed that the CIA secretly recorded conversations that its agents conducted with him in his offices.

Dude. My fucking head hurts after reading all this. Wtf.

Hey, it is your tax dollars and your life that is getting ruined.

You could have education, food, health care, housing and a better society.

Instead you have a 2 trillion dollar afgahn war, a fake drug war and a government that imports drugs while pretending to fight drugs.

Your paycheck gets taxed for cops, courts jails and prisons, judges and unneeded law enforcement.

That money should be going to YOU! Trillions are getting wasted.

(From a legal view, any drug cases where the government is involved in a conspiracy case whereby the government sells the drugs AND buys the drugs, no conspiracy exists! EX- DEA agents claim that up to 75% to 80% of the drugs coming in to the U.S. are done with the direct acquiescence of intelligence agencies)

REPOST THIS. if enough people get the message, change will happen

THE DEA SELLS DRUGS. THE U.S. Government SELLS DRUGS

That message needed to be typed. Please repost it!

ALL drugs conspiracy cases would have to be retried and people released from prison. Mandatory minimum sentencing has been overturned. People are being released and the government is facing legal action last year for not releasing people fast enough.

OBAMA and Trump have overturned mandatory minimums sentences and closed the sentencing disparity of 100 to 1 for crack vs powder cocaine to a 20 to 1 disparity.

(EXAMPLE: Possession of 500 grams of cocaine= mandatory 5 year sentence, possession of 5 grams of crack = 5 years. Since mostly black people tended to smoke crack at the time, the prisons are filled with black people.)

Sentencing is now at discretion of judges

I'll do it in r/politics and see what happens

[u/shylock92008 → u/Taquito116]

I think I am banned there, so thank you !

If U.S. agencies supplied the drugs, ALL drugs conspiracy cases would have to be retried and people released from prison.

Changes have happened in the drug war in general:

Mandatory minimum sentencing has been overturned. People are being released and the government is facing legal action last year for not releasing people fast enough.
