On 17 September, I posted on the Cisneros family’s involvement in drug trafficking and helping Hugo Chavez become president of Venezuela...


So, in one of those strange coincidences, Yesterday 18 September suddenly dozens of articles like the following were published about the gay fathers Michael Cisneros and Alex Hanson, and the other parents Erica and Daniel McKenna of 2 toddlers that were the “victim” of the following meme suing Donald Trump.

Of course most of this story was already reported in June, including legal actions.
So now suddenly (to bury some story) the “suing” gets a publicity campaign: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/20...rgeting-c/

On 14 February 1985, U.S. customs officials in Hollywood, Florida discovered an undisclosed amount of cocaine in a jet belonging to a subsidiary of Pepsi-Cola Venezuela, whose President is Oswaldo Cisneros Fajardo.
This plane was frequently used by Cisneros and his wife, including on trips to Cuba to meet Fidel Castro.

Gustavo Cisneros was also a fishing friend of George H.W. Bush and is close to George W. Bush.
See Gustavo Cisneros, George H.W. Bush with their wives.


It has been reported that Gustavo Cisneros was involved in the 2002 coup to make Hugo Chavez more popular...
As the Venezuelan media are blatantly supporting president Nicolas Maduro; it must be obvious that he is supported by media mogul Cisneros.
See Maduro and Cisneros together…


Gustavo Cisneros has donated up to $ 1 million dollars to the Clinton Foundation from 2009 to 2013, when Bush crony Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State.
During this period, Cisneros was appointed to Haiti’s Presidential Advisory Council on Economic Growth and Investment.

Another interesting link is that Gustavo Cisneros is also in Jeffrey Epstein’s little black book: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/12458...64417.html

To think that I only started to investigate the Cisneros family, because they bought Gawker to shut it down after it had exposed that Donald Trump (who has always denied using drugs) used an amphetamine-like drug in 1982: https://forums.richieallen.co.uk/showthr...43#pid9443

On Sept. 19, 1991, the Venezuelan daily El Globo reported that a congressional investigatory committee had found that the Organizacion Diego Cisneros owned a Miami-based company, Celere, Inc., which was under investigation by the U. S. Drug. Enforcement Administration for at least three separate cases of cocaine trafficking. The committee was investigating drug-running and terrorism charges raised against several Venezuelans, including Lazaro Rogelio Ugarte Bresselau, a top executive of Celere, Inc. who had also served as a top security adviser to the Cisneros-allied Banco Latino.

Gustavo Cisneros has been pictured with the absolute elite of the world, including Pope John Paul II, the Dalai Lama, Henry Kissinger, Deng Xiaoping, Lech Walesa, Nelson Mandela, Margaret Thatcher, Bibi Netanyahu, Agnelli and US Presidents Carter, Reagan, Bush Sr & Jr, and Bill Clinton.

In 1976 the Rockefeller’s Latin American supermarket empire was broken up by the Andean Pact. The Cisneros family, with the help of their friend Pedro Tinoco, took over the Venezuelan branch. They could now integrate the various Cisneros interests, using one to promote the other.

In 1996, the IMF “helped” Venezuela into hyperinflation. Causing a massive poverty of 86% and extreme poverty of 65% of the Venezuelans.
Cisneros profited while the population suffered. He used his newfound wealth took over Azcárraga’s share in Univisión and began scooping up TV stations all over Latin America.

On election night, Cisneros met the newly elected President Hugo Chavez.
In 2004, Jimmy Carter arranged a meeting between Gustavo Cisneros and Chávez. Cisneros wanted Chávez to introduce him to the Lula government in Brazil: https://venezuelanalysis.com/analysis/1778

Still on Univision’s board of directors is Henry Gabriel Cisneros, who was mayor of San Antonio, Texas during most of the 1980s. Cisneros was President of Univision from January 1997 to August 2000
Henry Cisneros was also Bill Clinton’s Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) from 1993 to 1997.

Henry Cisneros had to resign from the Clinton administration over a scandal. Cisneros had an extramarital affair with Linda Medlar, producing a child. That wasn’t the scandal.
Cisneros was also paying his estranged wife Mary Alice $4,000 a month, but for some reason lied to the FBI that he paid her less than $10,000 a year.
In 1999, Henry Cisneros pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and was fined a mere $10,000 (peanuts for a billionaire!).

In July 1994, Mary Alice Jones Cisneros sued Henry for refusing to keep his part of the deal to send her $4,000 a month. So now, for some reason, the authorities investigated Mary Alice’s investments.
They discovered that Mary Alice had lied on her home mortgage application, in which Mary Alice used money and signatures from her sister and brother-in-law. Mary Alice was convicted of money laundering, bank fraud and making false statements and sentenced to 18 months in federal prison: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-...story.html

I've previously posted about the one true narco-state in the world - Afghanistan - where the US, UK and Netherlands brought "peace, freedom and democracy" with bombs and heroin-trafficking politicians.

The Mujahideen that later evolved into the Taliban and Al-Qaeda were forced to pay the CIA for the arms, and they could only do so by growing poppy.
Afghanistan produced about 100 tons of opium annually in the 1970s. By 1989-1990, that amount of opium had become 2,000 tons a year, which was already about 75% of the world’s illicit opium trade.

Afghans really don't have a choice, poverty rose from 9.1 million in 2007 to 19.3 million in 2016 (peace, freedom and democracy).
It is now estimated that Afghanistan produces more than 90% of the world’s illicit opium. Since 2008, opium is responsible for more than half of the country’s GDP. To put that in perspective, even in Colombia cocaine never accounted for more than 3% of its GDP.
Last year, Afghanistan's poppy cultivation grew by over a third.

Matthew Hoh, a former captain in the U.S. Marine Corps in Afghanistan who resigned in protest over the continued occupation of Afghanistan in 2009, said that NATO forces were guarding poppy production and that they didn't destroy the poppy fields because Afghan officials were afraid that their poppy fields would be destroyed:

They were afraid that, if they went to aerial eradication, the U.S. pilots would just eradicate willy nilly and a lot of their own poppy fields would be hit.
...
NATO forces were more or less guarding poppy fields and poppy production, under the guise of counterinsurgency. The logic was ‘we don’t want to take away the livelihoods of the people.’ But really, what we were doing at that point was protecting the wealth of our friends in power in Afghanistan.

.
Hoh also explained that local heroin producer Gul Agha Sherzai was paid by the US to eradicate his competitors’ crops in Nangarhar Province:

We literally gave the guy $10 million in cash for rubbing out his competition. If you were going to write a movie about this, they’d say ‘This is too far fetched. No one is going to believe this. Nothing is this insane or stupid.’ But that is the way it is.

.
Just about all the politicians installed into power in "democratic" Afghanistan were associated with the heroin trade, including Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s brother Ahmed Wali, who has been accused of working for the CIA.

Between 2005 and 2015, the number of adult Afghan drug users jumped from 900,000 to 2.4 million, with around 9% of the adult population addicted to opioids (including heroin).
In neighbouring Pakistan, the number of heroin addicts went from practically none in the late 1970s to over 1.2 million by 1985. In 2013, it was estimated that almost 7 million Pakistanis use drugs, with nearly 2.5 million abusing heroin or other opioids. Around 700 people die per day from overdoses.
Iran has an estimated at 2 to 3 million opioid users, despite the extremely harsh penalties for drug offences.

The U.S. government has a long history of being involved with dope dealing.
In Colombia, it worked with President Alvaro Uribe on a "drug war", while U.S. documents identified Uribe as one of Colombia’s most important drug traffickers, employee of the Medellin Cartel and a “close personal friend” of drugs kingpin Pablo Escobar.

The U.S. government still supports Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernandez, who is also connected to the cocaine trade. Earlier this year, a U.S. court sentenced Hernandez’s brother Tony to life in prison for drug smuggling, while Juan himself was identified as co-conspirator in the case: https://www.mintpressnews.com/cia-afghan...um/277780/

This was reported on 31 March of this year on the booming poppy cultivation under the Taliban regime...

It is not surprising that the Taliban government today has started to take draconian measures to crack down on opiate addiction in society and regulate demand and supply domestically. This does not, however, mean the new rulers of Afghanistan have taken their eyes off European markets. On the contrary, the long-term objective seems to be moving toward centralization of the narcotics industry in government hands and ultimately the maximization of revenues from that industry in state coffers.
(...)
“The Taliban have counted on the Afghan opium trade as one of their main sources of income,” César Guedes, head of UNODC’s Kabul office, told Reuters last year. Nor are Taliban officials any longer hindered by the political considerations that motivated U.S.-led counternarcotics policies. These policies were to a large degree pursued to shield allied European nations from relentless flows of narcotics and the consequent organized crime. The Taliban now pledge to patrol and protect their borders to prevent the drug trade, but in reality they intentionally overlook to smuggling activities.

It isn't exactly clear what happened to the heroin production, when the Taliban was once again installed as the vicious rulers of Afghanistan...
Up until the US troop withdrawals from Afghanistan, the Afghan heroin production continued to be protected by private mercenaries and NATO troops.

Some have argued that the real reason for the 2001 US/UK invasion of Afghanistan was the crackdown on poppy fields by the Taliban to blackmail the Bush-Cheney administration...
Since the US/UK invasion in October 2001, poppy production in Afghanistan has increased 25-fold until 2016, from 185 tons in 2001 to 4800 tons in 2016.

In 2014, the Afghan poppy cultivation hit a record high.


The Afghan heroin economy is very lucrative (while Afghan farmers have difficulty making ends meet by growing food).
In connection with money laundering it benefits the elite and also funds insurgencies and wars that are good for business.

In the last decade, there has been a surge in Afghan heroin exports, which has fuelled a dramatic increase of heroin addicts in the US.
There were 189,000 heroin users in the US in 2001. By 2016 that number went up to 4.5 million (2.5 million addicts and 2 million casual users of heroin).

With nothing else to do, because of the coronavirus lockdown, people have turned to recreational drugs.
In 2020, deaths from opioids and drug addiction in the US increased threefold.


In one of those strange coincidences, the same Johnson & Johnson that is selling its “experimental” COVID-19 adenovirus viral vector vaccine, is also a major producer of "prescription" opioids.
In November 2020, Johnson & Johnson reached a "tentative $26 billion settlement" in the US after turning its victims into dope addicts: https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-spoils...n-trade/91

The following 1992 article detail some of the scandals connected to 3 sons of (president at the time) George Bush Sr. The most interesting is more on Jeb Bush's connection to the cocaine trafficking Nigaragua Contras.
There are of course also links to Clinton... and Donald Trump!

George Bush Jr. joined the board of Harken Energy. It was Stephens, Inc. that placed the Harken stock offering with the London subsidiary of Union Bank, which was associated with the notorious CIA-associated Nugan Hand Bank and Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI).
In June 1990, George Junior suddenly sold most of his Harken stock for a cool $848,560. Had he waited until August, after the US ambassador in Iraq gave Saddam permission to invade Kuwait, when Harken shares plummeted, Junior would have lost $212,140 to sell his shares.

Jeb Bush business associate, Manny Diaz, had previously been in business with the swindler Charles Keating, Jr., who is known for his association to John McCain.

In 1986, Camilo Padreda hired Jeb Bush for help to defraud the corrupt Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for millions of dollars. Jeb Bush arranged the International Medical Centers (IMC) as a key tenant for Padreda's HUD-financed building.
IMC at the time one of the USA's fastest-growing health-maintenance organizations (HMO) was headed by Miguel Recarey. Recarey boasted about his dealings with Miami mob boss Santo Trafficante Jr., who had financed Recarey's ventures.

In 1985, Jeb phoned top Health and Human Services officials in Washington for a special exemption from HHS rules for IMC. Miguel Recarey needed this waiver for a Medicare fraud. In 1986, IMC collected over $30 million a month in Medicare payments; collecting $1 billion in total from Medicare.
Recarey was also bribing union officials and illegally wiretapped IMC employees to find out who was talking to federal agents.
Just when Recarey was going to be arrested, in 1987, he got a $2.2 million income-tax refund, for "getaway money", which Recarey used to live the wealthy lifestyle (first) in Venezuela.

At IMC headquarters in Miami, Miguel Recarey met Contra leader Adolfo Calero and the notorious Felix Rodriguez, who arranged that Contras got free medical treatment at IMC hospitals in Miami: http://www.motherjones.com/politics/1992...mily-value
(https://archive.is/y3vwt)


In 1993, Miguel Recarey was finally arrested in his new refugee the Kingdom of Spain, but for some reason was never extradited to the US to face charges.

Recarey paid for "lobbying" President Reagan’s former aides Lyn Nofziger and John Sears, and the lobbying firm of Bush Sr’s campaign chairman, Lee Atwater.

Recarey’s last known transaction before his escape to Caracas, was sending $30,000 to Nick Panuzio, chairman of Black, Manafort, Stone and Kelly, which also received more than $60,000 in 1986 from Recarey.
Black, Manafort and Stone was the lobbying firm of Trump's dirt trickster Roger Stone and Paul Manafort, who years later hired the Podesta Group to "lobby" for the Ukraine (?), before becoming Trump's presidential campaign manager: https://apnews.com/article/9fade993ac71c...cf4bcd70f2

I've read another book on the Dutch IRT affair, Bart Middelburg & Kurt van Es - Operatie Delta (1994), in which the Dutch cops participated in importing tens of thousands of kilos of weed from Colombia (among other drug offences).
It's an early book on the IRT affair, and it's difficult to determine if the missing information was intentionally censored, or that this information only came to light later. With claims that all of the responsible persons in high places (like ministers, Procureur-Generaal, or police chiefs) simply didn't know about the drug imports (and exports).

In general the book described that the (unorganised) police is simply no match for these cunning criminals.
This kind of defence for the crimes against humanity by the authorities is often falsely used. When the government is involved in crime, it are always simply foolish mistakes...

It does mention that the tax intelligence agency FIOD was ultimately responsible for clearing the imported drugs in the Amsterdam harbour, but then forgets to draw the ultimate conclusion on the shared (or main?) responsibility of the FIOD.
Under the supervision of Fred Teeven.

Another general point about the book is that it is surprisingly positive about the Amsterdam police department that according to the journalists writing it, sort of did everything right (almost like the writers were paid by the Amsterdam police department).
The IRT affair was run from a "bunker" in Amsterdam and (all of) the drugs were imported through Amsterdam. It seems improbable that the Amsterdam cops didn't find out about the "controlled" import of ten thousands of kilos of weed.

While Text Lite is mentioned, Frits Salomonson (the friend/attorney of former Queen Beatrix) is missing in the book.

The main criminal in this book is Etienne Urka, who took over the organisation of Klaas Bruinsma after he was assassinated.
It describes that he was leading the organisation with 2 others who remain anonymous. From other sources I found out that these 2 were: attorney John Engelsma, and porn boss Charles Geerts.

On 1 November 1992, Prince Willem-Alexander (blue shorts) ran the marathon of New York accompanied by legendary cyclist Gerrie Knetemann (orange cap), with none other than John Engelsma (behind Knetemann).


In March 1975, Etienne Urka supposedly helped the authorities to prevent the kidnapping of Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard.
Why would a criminal do this? Was this kidnapping story just a diversion from the Lockheed affair?!?


Cees Korvinus was the attorney for Etienne Urka, and also (in one of those strange coincidences) of Slobodan Mitric (Karate Bob).
From 2009 to 2011, Korvinus was selected as the chairman of the Dutch state network VARA.

ISGP-studies wrote that, "there have been very demonstratable ties between the royal house of Orange, the Klaas Bruinsma-Etienne Urka-John Engelsma-Charles Geerts mafia, and Intelligence Operations. This last group was the Dutch branch of the CIA Gladio/"Stay Behind" network": https://isgp-studies.com/joris-demmink-a...flier-cult


The Gladio link could be interesting, and could be found through Mitric, but I don't see any more details on that by ISGP-studies.
For more on Slobodan Mitric (Karate Bob): https://www.lawfulpath.com/forum/viewtop...489#p79489


Also interesting is that Germ Kemper (him again!) represented John Engelsma and Cees Korvinus (his partner at the law firm, and attorney for Urka) in a defamation law suit, over their involvement in the Bruinsma / Urka organisation. Information from the book, but not found on the internet...

On 20 November 2012 I filed my official complaints (4 at the time) against deken Germ Kemper directly to the president of the Raad van Discipline, who "forgot" to send the complaint to another deken like she was supposed to.
After I petitioned to replace her (wrakingsverzoek), the court session was presided over by a judge that was also a peronal assistant (kamerheer) to then-queen Beatrix - lord Theo Roëll: https://www.lawfulpath.com/forum/viewtop...3004#p3004


Now isn't that strange?!?
That same "deken" (chairman of the attorneys in the district Amsterdam) Germ Kemper represented Princess Margarita as an attorney (while being deken at the same time) from 2006 to to 2011 (or even longer?): https://www.lawfulpath.com/forum/viewtop...489#p79489

The following overlong looks like a serious "bombshell", but only is when you know that the Nicaragua Contras, that were supported by Tucker and his family, really paid for their weapons by trafficking cocaine, so the Reagan-Bush team could flood US ghettos with crack (see quote at the bottom)...

Tucker Carlson's great-uncle was Arkansas Senator William Fulbright, while his step-mother, Patricia Swanson, is the heiress to the Swanson Frozen Food company fortune.
Tucker's dad, Richard “Dick” Carlson, is a journalist who was once appointed by President Ronald Reagan as director of the US Information Agency (USIA) that funded foreign propaganda networks, like Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio and TV Martí and Voice of America (of which Dick was the director). Dick was also directly involved in bringing down the leftist Sandinista government in Nicaragua (supporting the cocaine dealing Contras).
President George H.W. Bush appointed Dick Carlson as US Ambassador to the Seychelles.

Dick Carlson was also included in several think tanks, including the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), where he was on the board together with Jeanne Kirkpatrick (also involved in Iran-Contra Affair) and none other than R. James Woolsey (CIA director from 1993 to 1995). When Dick later joined the Institute for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence, he once again teamed up with Woolsey.

While his father was officially, secretly arming the cocaine dealing Contras, Tucker and his friend Neil Patel (Daily Caller co-founder) while still in college went to Nicaragua, to “get involved in the war and support the side that was right, which was not the Sandinista side”.
Carlson later boasted that that he was literally “standing next to her when she won”, US-backed, Contra-supporting candidate Violeta Chamorro.
Years later, Carlson as star journalist defended the drug trafficking, money laundering, terrorist financing North, saying “He is a great man, Ollie North”, and inviting him on Tucker Carlson Tonight multiple times.

Tucker Carlson was part of the disgraceful media attack on Contra drug trafficking reporter Gary Webb, saying that there was “no evidence” for Webb’s claims.
Tucker also lied that there is “ample evidence” that the CIA had “moved to remove drug traffickers” from the “Nicaraguan resistance” (see below)...

Tucker Carlson even joined the wonderful CNN, where he supported the invasion of Iraq.
Tucker even mingled with private US mercenaries, see him in 2004 (on the right) posing with 2 DynCorp International employees, holding a Kalashnikoff.


Another top neocon close to the Carlson family is Scooter Libby (chief of staff to VP Dick Cheney).
In 2007, Libby was sentenced to 30 months in prison for his role in a CIA scandal. Carlson on MSNBC defended Libby, forgetting to mention that his father Dick was his "good friend", had employed Libby as his lawyer and was even on the Libby Legal Defense Fund.
Libby was later pardoned by President Trump.

In 2021, Tucker was eating dinner together with none other than George W. Bush in Florida: https://www.mintpressnews.com/tucker-car...ia/279782/


If you've ever wondered why Tucker was involved in the cover-up of the scandals on the laptop of Joe's crackhead son Hunter Biden, they (and their wifes) were (are?) close friends.

In August 2015, Hunter asked Tucker to help him debunk a story that was about to be published about him using a website for extramarital affairs. This seems innocent compared to what we learned since then (hookers, crack, corruption)!
On 27 August, within hours of being asked by Hunter, Tucker contacted the Daily Mail editor to complain about his actions.

In November 2014, Hunter wrote a recommendation letter for Tucker's son, Buckley Carlson, to Georgetown University.
Carlson responded, "Hunter! I can't thank you enough for writing that letter to Georgetown on Buckley's behalf": https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...-show.html

By early 1983, CIA dollars were pouring into Honduras and Costa Rica, which benefitted the Contras. But the money the Contras received wasn’t nearly enough to finance the growing military organisation. The CIA recruited Norwin Meneses so that drug sales could be used to support the Contras.
Ronald Reagan installed Oliver North to arrange the details.

The following picture shows from right to left Ronald Reagan, Oliver North, Adolfo Calero (CIA operative installed as FDN commander) on 4 April 1985.


In the following picture are Adolfo Calero (centre) and drug lord Norwin Meneses on the far right, around June 1984.

With the brutal lockdown it isn't really surprising that people seek refuge in drugs. By now it has sort of been admitted by the mainstream media that the lockdowns caused a lot of harm (but don't talk about the deadly vaccines!).
So you would never have guessed it... drugs overdose deaths jumped nearly 30% in the latest year to a record breaking 100,300 dead Americans from May 2020 to April 2021.

It's obvious that this period coincided with the brutal lockdown, but don't expect the "reputable" media to point this out! Drugs "experts" claim that the main reason for this almost 30% increase in overdose deaths in a year is the deadly fentanyl...
According to “drug policy expert" Daniel Ciccarone things are getting even worse, "2021 is going to be terrible”: https://apnews.com/article/overdodse-dea...03ab40670f


There are around 2 million opioid addicts in the US, of which some 33 thousand die per year.
While heroin gets harder to buy on the streets, the much more dangerous fentanyl that has been dubbed "White China", comes through mail by FedEx.

In 2016, US Congress passed and President Obama signed the "Ensuring Patient Access and Effective Drug Enforcement Act", which severely restricted the DEA to take legal action against the big pharma narcotics dealers, because the DEA now had to prove that a narcotics shipment poses an "immediate" and/or "imminent" threat of death or grave harm to users.

The new [2016] law makes it virtually impossible for the DEA to freeze suspicious narcotic shipments from the companies, according to internal agency and Justice Department documents and an independent assessment by the DEA’s chief administrative law judge in a soon-to-be-published law review article. That powerful tool [freezing opioid shipments] had [previously] allowed the agency to immediately prevent drugs from reaching the street.
