director was interested in the ability to go to an existing as he put it off the shelf self sustaining stand alone entity that could perform certain activities on behalf of the united states are you not shocked that the director of central intelligence is proposing to you the creation of a organization to do these kinds of things  evidence of wrongdoing or any evidence of impropriety in our final report and make recommendations but everything  they did all this in the dark because it would never stand the light of day secrecy is the freedom zealots dream of no watchman to check a door no accountant to check the books don't judge to check the law the secret government has no constitution that's correct prior to the rise of the sandinistas members of the same family had ruled nicaragua for over forty years this emoticon and monopolized almost every industry in the country stealing millions from their own exceptional in the strength of the government's commitment to improving the condition of the people and encouraging their active participation in the development process but it was oil pipelines the illegal mining of nicaraguan ports the burning and bombing of green signs farmhouses and machinery and numerous other wanton attack so i guess in a way they are counter revolutionary and god bless them for being that way and i guess that makes them contras and should make me a country to as long as there is breath in this body i will speak and work strive and struggle for the cause of the nicaraguan freedom fighters later congressional intelligence committee revealed that the contras had rate tortured and killed an unarmed civilians including children  that groups of civilians including women and children were burned dismembered blinded and had it there was an election here in nicaragua nine hundred eighty four i think most people have probably forgotten so everybody had covered the entire campaign but everybody ceased to cover the election itself because washington very cleverly changed the issue previously of democracy and nicaragua to the issue  of national security the united states says circumstantial evidence suggesting that as many as a dozen soviet make twenty one jets may have arrived today at the nicaraguan fort of corinto the most immediate parties are investigating the mysterious death of a journalist and possible connections to the b c c i bank scandal and the weapons for iran case why it intrudes tells us that puzzling freelance journalist danny told friends he was on to the political conspiracy of the century he was meeting a source in west virginia he was about to discover all instead his body was discovered in a hotel room with twelve slashes in his wrist but when the local straight from the movies the medical examiner today held to the suicide finding saying castle arrow apparently was alone there were no other continued lacerations or other trauma to the body that would indicate a struggle in my heart i remember danny telling international bank charged with everything from money laundering to the common thread within octopus is the infamous affair when a court ruled the reagan justice department stole valuable law enforcement software  later went to the back channel funding of the contras all the papers he had with the investigation was doing and the endless arguments clearly it really didn't have any idea about this and at that point told me they found no papers in his room types another minor medical procedures well known to his family they sounded in comprehensible that he committed suicide by slashing his wrists a dozen times just days before his s justice department of one making the industry to shave by skilled hands loaded with mercury industry that flourished perhaps century because the good man looked the other way an industrial run by a man i went to school with their fathers rented and their fathers fathers before them an industry that made phoenix city the most vicious town in the but they had certain crimes they wouldn't participate in they were pale but there was a night in the thirty's that was called the night of the italian vespers and about thirty top old and more aligned with the f b i and hoover said that there was no such thing as organized crime and so never pursued the mob he liked to gamble on horses and he and clyde tolson would go to del mar the mob owned race tracks and they'd put  dam and they befriend people and surround people in the political circles help them get into office so they could have some political influence but during world war two the office of naval intelligence made deals with lucky to supposedly protect the docks of new york from german saboteurs since the mob was in control of the labor on the docks the mafia then also was assisted by patton general patton who came into italy and got the foothold in italy by coming up into the mountains instead of going down into the cities i want you to remember that no bastard ever want to walk was the head of the italian mobs and the dog of the dons at the time for his credentials and then busy road in the tank with him into the steering cities of mafia controlled elements in italy who wanted revenge against  three hundred miles they penetrated without hardly any opposition and key favor who later studied organized crime in the states and had hearings about it had a special hearing to try to figure out what patton had done and on earth some of this information  at the time and after that patents third army was called lucky forward after lucky luciano under the guise of being victims of fascism mafia hit men are released from a talian prison by using the mafia in wartime the us government helped reestablish the syndicate as a major criminal force a force that will play go america for decades to c yet the relationship between the intelligence agencies in organized crime of these two islands in italy they had connections with the mob and there was a chance after world war two because if you study the actual resistance to hitler and the underground resistance to in both those countries it was led primarily by the communists and the left and so they were the ones that drove hitler out with the us in the new cold war mentality with the nazis helping to have them didn't want them to rise to power politically in those countries or want communism to spread so they then and listed the mob naval intelligence again and then early o s s brown love stone labor organizers and list of the mob to break the backs of the unions and  first puppet government under g m not to cooperate in holding those elections that just a matter of historic record at the time they were trying to stop the war opposition of the unions and so by breaking their backs they opened up  new money in the organized crime sector and also included prostitution drugs and other criminal activity that the old mob would participate in the escalation in violence corresponded with an escalation in drug traffic launched the largest prosecution of the mob in history only to be shot down by the tank government finally elite leaders responded seven thousand army troops were sent into sicily hundreds of millions of dollars had been smuggled into the united states and he blamed the cia saying the agency had joined the venezuelan and national guard in drugs michael let me understand what you're saying a ton of cocaine was smuggled into the united states of america by the venezuelan national guard well they in cooperation with the cia that's what that's exactly what appears to have happened former dea agent levine said that equally shocking was the fact that for more than thirty years the federal government had protected some drug dealers as offices in the narcotic war we saw the political choices made up close and personal one example of the insane was during the nixon administration when he was about to bust a major source of heroin and i was down some coal because that source where our allies in the vietnam war lorraine said this was not an isolated incident that it had happened many times in his twenty five year career if it was a question of supporting people who supported our economic and political philosophies in other parts of the world and they happen to be drug resistance but to those parts of the afghan resistance which were trusted by the saudis and for pakistan and pakistan was a friend of the genuinely popular resistance movement around depositors ranging from the shape of abu dhabi to ordinary customers put their money into b c c i accounts but a secret route was needed to divert it to gulf to do this gulf set up dozens of shadow companies in places like liberia colombian cocaine by the b c c i men were convicted and the bank itself pleaded guilty but for some reason the bank was allowed to continue to operate all over the world and investigators say u s prosecutors failed to follow up on evidence of widespread corruption and other crimes that this month finally led to the bank being shut down i don't want to say that we invented cocaine production there but it is massively increased since in creating over two things first of all a great escalation in the number of drug traffickers in colombia the amount of drugs produced in colombia but also in the amount of terrorism industry but specifically with colombia the closest ally to the two allies that the u s has right now in latin america is mexico and colombia colombia is the worst human rights violator in latin america over three thousand trade union have been murdered in the last ten years in fact indigenous thousands of journalists have been murdered in the last few decades most dangerous place to be in the world if you are a trade unionist is calling the most dangerous place to be in the world of you're a journalist is colombia over three million people have been displaced from the land in colombia my right we paramilitary units that then once that land is this place better not land over the transnational corporations so local planters and investors to local capitalists and so connie is basically a terrorist regime with a terrorist state it's a nightmare strait state for the poor majority in this is the state which the u s is totally aligned with and so you might ask why is that the case well your strategy has been to used to call india as a beachhead to try and gain reading influences in latin america obama comes in and says oh colombia is the best friend of united states and today president santos and i reviewed our progress and i'm pleased to say reached agreement on several new initiatives first as has already been mentioned we're moving ahead with our landmark trade agreement twelve of what you mean by the united states of the dominance just of the rulers in the united states colombia is the best friend of the united states and what the u s can do now is attempt to regain its influence by trying to beef up colombia strength claim to have won the presidential election further extension was estimated at over seventy five percent shortly before the largest masquerade in colonial history was discovered located just outside of an army base in the center it was revealed when children drinking from a nearby stream became out from the toxic effects of decomposing flesh an editorial in the new york times described as a  office located deep into little jungle in a place that was once one trolled by the revolutionary armed forces of colombia or fark human rights groups claim that there could be up to two thousand bodies buried here right behind the largest colombian military base in the area the government claims the dead were guerrillas but people in the area say many were innocent civilians certainly think so she says her son was killed by the military and passed off as a guerrilla fighter he was found in a mass grave so nobody they killed my son for holidays for some cash they killed him so that the government would get more money from abroad i feel anger because my son was an educated person and he was a light of my eyes we've as government has been dogged by revelations that thousands of young poor men and women were killed to increase the combat body count and and there's some very good reasons one reason is that narco trafficking is part of the elite culture in colombia that the sectors of the population that to which the arms are going are up to their necks in the market trafficking and that's any secret for them or they're not being targeted so although the paramount attorneys are right in the middle of the narco trafficking system and are responsible for the overwhelming majority atrocities that drug production proceed there's a way to stop it for example you could allow commodity stabilization programs in third world you could provide a fraction of the money that's going for to kill people could be used to develop alternative crops the socioeconomic problems in colombia which are extremely severe can be dealt with in several different ways one way is to try to change the internal structure of the country to follow programs that would in fact benefit  population instead of oppressing that's one way or the other what is going to kill this further question to lurking in the background which is never raised really ought to be it's a very profound question and that is what right do we have to do of aid to colombia when none of the stated goals for playing colombia are being met are there any indications that they're rethinking this now upon this or with what you're saying that they hadn't made a lot of progress on the goals that they had in the country quite to the contrary and i would say what this tells us is that the united states actually didn't have these goals in the first place the aid that they're bringing in includes seven new military rebase so there is a of the border the drug has claimed forty seven thousand lives between the years two thousand and six and twenty tw circumvention of the will of the congress the law of the united states of america george bush senior came to what amala january thirty nine hundred eighty six and he approached me and asked me what i did  and then he just smiled shook my hand and walked away from me and it was then and there that i knew that my government knew that this atrocities were carried and we found a number of people in florida they were helping the cocaine into the ocean reef club of key largo that was owned by karl linder the centenary businessman that's very close to bush very close to bush ok bush would go down and actually vacation at the
