Drogen Schmuggel von Ronald Reagon - Richard Armitage und heute: Albanischen Diplomaten Geschäfts Modell: CD Auto Verleih an die Drogen Mafia

Wichtiges Geschäfts Modell der Albanischen Politiker ist die Drogen Verteilung, vor allem auch über das Langzeit Modell der Diplomaten und im Moment aber auch schon vor 10 Jahren: Der Verkauf neuer Identitäten, für Gesuchte und im Moment vor allem auch für die Kosovo Mafia, wie der Verkauf der neuen Biometrischen Pässe an Islamische Terrorsiten, wo dann als Zugabe auch gleich NATO Top sercret Geheimnisse verkauft werden, oder Waffen auch an die Hisbolla. Kurz gesagt: Alles normal bei Albanischen Diplomaten, Politikern, oder NATO Angestellten, wobei Arthur Kuco, langjähriger NATO Botschafter, ebenso Motor im Drogenhandel, vor 10 Jahren war, als Partner des Duka-Lefter / Nard Koca Kartells.

International Terrrorists - Mafia boss get new identity behind with Albanian biometric passports

No news over the most criminal government of the world: Salih Berisha - Ilir Meta and the Republic Albania

Exclusive report by Gjergj Thanasi: Albanian biometric passports & Links to International Terrorist Rings

Ioannis Michaletos 10 Dec 2011 In the following exclusive investigative report, the acclaimed journalist from Tirana-Albania, Gjergj Thanasi outlines the serious security issues relating to the Albanian biometric passport system and the links with international organized crime and terrorist rings and with the Iranian intelligence establishment especially. The Problematic Albanian Biometric Passports and the Links to International Terrorist Rings Der tschechische Anti Drogen Chef: Jakub Frydrych, erkärt im TV und auch lt. Tschechischen Zeitungen Details über die Albanischen Drogen Schmuggler Mafia der Diplomaten (schon Tritan Sheku, verkaufte als Aussenminister 600 Diplomaten Pässe an die Mafia und ob Ilir Meta, Spartak Braho, Salih Berisha, Lulzim Basha, alle waren in solche Skandale verwickelt.) Die Botschafts Angehörige Katerina Xhelo, stellte dem Kosovo Verbrecher Clans: des Agim Saraci, ein Diplomaten Auto, Jahrelang zur Verfügung. Der Saraci Clan, war Nachfolger des Drogen Imperiums des “Prinz” Dobrusi” als er vor Jahren verhaftet wurde. Natürlich war die Ehefrau von Herrn Agim Saraci: Anila Saraçi Morina,Mitglied im Mafia Parlament des Kosovo, so das Alles somit normal ist, in der Tradition der Albanischen Verbrecher Clans.

Das Drogen Geschäft der Albanischen Botschaft in Prag, lief von 2004-2010, war also das Standard Modell derAlbanischen Diplomatie, wo es damals ja sch0n Verhaftungen in 2004 gab, wie wir berichteten. Gjergji Dervish(zusammen mit dem Diplomaten: Fation Skenderi in 2005 festgenommen! Drogen Diplmaten, direkt von Ilir Meta, seiner Frau Monika rund um den “Paten von Durres” Spartak Braho Ende 2001 usw..

Kurz gesagt, kann jeder Mafia Clan, sich in Albanien einen Diplomaten Pass kaufen, es bis zum Staatsekretär auch noch als gesuchter Mörder bringen, wie Almir Rrapo, oder wie hier erneut: Ein Diplomaten Auto mieten, als Partner der Albanischen Drogen Mafia. Der damalige Botschafter Quasim Tepsi, ist so eine Sonder Marke von korrupt, kriminell und der Intelligenz eines typischen Albanischen Diplomaten und Politikers: Strohdumm und primitiv kriminell. Die Familie hat auch in Deutschland vor Jahren Asyl erhalten, als weiterer Verteiler.

Verurteilt wegen falscher Vermögens Angabe, und als Ex-Botschafter in Prag, eine Legende des Verbrechens: Sein Bruder hat natürlich berüchtigte Schmuggler Fracht Schiffe gehabt, womit Waffen, Drogen in alter Tradition quer das durch Mittelmeer transport werden.

 

Kreu i antidrogës çeke: Trafik droge me makinën e ambasadës shqiptare

 

Jakub Fridrish

Një skandal i vërtetë ka shpërthyer në diplomacinë shqiptare. Në shtator të këtij viti, një media e Çekisë raportonte se makinat e ambasadës shqiptare përdorej për trafik droge. Tabloidi çek shkruan se një person i arrestuar për trafik droge, i quajtur Agim Saraçi, një kosovar, ka përdorur makinën e ambasadës shqiptare që nga viti 2004 deri në vitin 2010. Në gazetë përmendet emri i konsulles Katerina Xhelo, e cila ka lejuar përdorimin e makinës që nuk kontrollohet për shkak të Konventës së Vienës.

Emisioni Fiks Fare e ka gjurmuar më shumë këtë çështje dhe ka dërguar një gazetare në Çeki. Ajo ka intervistuar Jakub Fridrich, drejtori i qendrës kombëtare të antidrogës në Çeki. Ai pohon faktet e publikuara në gazetë. “Agim Saraçi përdorte makinën e ambasadës shqiptare nga viti 2004 deri në vitin 2010 kur u arrestua për trafik droge. Formalisht ka pasur leje me shkrim nga ambasada, por nuk ka pasur pasaportë diplomatike,” tha Fridrish.

Ai deklaroi më tej se Ministria e Jashtme e Çekisë ka konfirmuar se personi i hetuar ka bashkëpunuar me ambasadën shqiptare.

“Personi që nuk ka imunitet diplomatik nuk mund të përdorë makinën e ambasadës. Një lidhje mes ambasadës dhe këtij personi është, por karakterin konkret nuk e di, nuk mund të shprehem,” tha Fridrish.

Drejtori i qendrës së antidrogës shton se kanë kërkuar të dinë më shumë nga ambasada se çfarë pune ka bërë Saraçi. “Në fazën e parë na thanë se personi kishte leje të përdorte makinën për arsye teknike, për kontrolle teknike. Personi në fjalë na u tha që ishte këshilltar i jashtëm i ambasadës shqiptare,” tha Fridrish duke shtuar se sido që të jetë, ai nuk kishte imunitet për të përdorur makinën.

Për më tepër, Fridrish thotë se i ngarkuari me punë në ambasadën tonë, Genc Peçani i ka kërkuar të përgënjeshtrohet artikulli.

“Unë e refuzova sepse nuk dua të përgënjështroj artikuj ku unë nuk jam autor. Ambasada nuk ka dhënë arsyetime bindëse për këtë person,” tha Fridrish. “Sipas meje makina e ambasadës është keqpërdorur,” shtoi ai.

Ndërkohë i ngarkuari me punë në ambasadën tonë thotë se gazeta që ka botuar lajmin ka botuar një përgenjeshtrim. Kurse konsullja Katerina Xhelo thotë se Saraçi është shpallur i pafajshëm sepse nuk janë gjetur prova. “Zoti Saraçi është shpallur i pafajshëm në mënyrë të prerë pa nevojë për apelim,” tha Xhelo.

Bashkëshortja e Agim Saraçit, Anila Saraçi Morina është deputete në parlamentin kosovar.

Frühere Berichte, über die Drogen Mafia der Albanischen Diplomaten.

Der Chef Ausbilder des Albanischen Mafia Diplomaten Corps und Botschafter damals in der Tschei: Qazim Tepshi, der seinen enormen Reichtumg und Immobilien Vermögen in der Mafia Stadt Durres, nicht einmal dem Finanzamt erklären konnte.

Drogen Handel der sogenannte Albanischen Diplomaten wie Quazim Thepsi ist so eine Art Standard Sport, besonders bei den Leuten um den Duka Clan. 2010 gab es allerdings noch keine Festnahmen, Albanischer Diplomaten, was wohl daran liegt, das man auf die grüne Liste der EU kommen will für die Visa Freiheit.

Qazim Tepshi, war u.a. President of the Albanian Institute of Diplomatic Studies und als Top Mitglied der Kosovo Mafia auch in der Rambouillet Konferenz in 1999, die zum Kosovo Krieg führte. In Pakistan war Q. Tephi, in 2006 Botschafter, was natürlich besonders wichtig ist, weil über Pakistan die Produkte der Drogen Labors verteilt werden.

Diese Leute schrecken auch nicht vor Mord zurück und lassen Journalisten zusammen schlagen, was die Standard Vorstellung des Albanischen Fuß Präsidenten nun mal so ist. Die Familie Thepsi, baute als eine der Ersten in Durres eine absolute Luxus Villa, natürlich vollkommen illegal auf den Hügel von Durres. Natürlich war man auch Abgeordneter im Albanischen Parlament, bzw. gleich Minister wie Agron Duka. Der prominenteste Mord dieser Gruppe war die Ermordung des Polizei Präsidenten Malushi in 2005. Alles Mitglieder der SP Partei in Albanien, welche ja in besonderer Weise, von Gerhard Schröder, Joschka Fischer und den GTZ Kriminellen, wie dem Lobby Verein DAW gefördert wurden. Gewisse Leute, haben aus geschäftlichen Gründen, wie die FES und SPD vor allem die Chef von Todes Schwadronen und Drogen Kartelle, als Partner erwählt und Fatos Nano und Ilir Meta (+ Umfeld),ist das absolut Letzte, was in Albanien herum läuft. Es geht doch Nichts über prominente Drogen Bosse und Mörder, als Partner und für Deutsche Autofirmen ebenso! Der Super Drogen Handel, dank der Deutschen Diplomaten ist eine Legende.

      Fatos Nano - Ex Prime Minister of Albania

      By Gary Kokalari - Political Analyst - Exclusively for ACLIS

 

The current drug trafficking routes in Albania and their relations with Prime Minister Fatos Nano.

Albania has become an important country for the trafficking of drugs, establishing itself as a safe transit route between East and West. Albania has made available to this kind of traffic its human resources and its political power. Before 1997, the drug trafficking in Albania was blooming through the planting of drug related plants and their sale outside Albania. Strong drugs such as heroin or cocaine were not present at the time because of the lack of serious partners and partners with political power. Former Minister of Interior Agron Musaraj (1993-1996) was a supporter of such groups, but his limited political power could not empower these groups. After Agron Musaraj left, the new interior minister of the Democratic Party, Halil Shamata, proposed new tough legislation against organized crime which was approved in the parliament in Autumn 1996. The legislation included strong punishment for drug and weapon traffickers and very often fixed prison terms.

From Adolf Hitler to George Bush Jnr, US capitalism’s unbroken linkPre-amble:
When I started putting this essay together, it started out as investigation of Richard Armitage as a typical example of the kind of people employed to run the United States on behalf of their imperialist masters. Then I came across a piece written in 2000 by Michael Ruppert of Beyond the Wilderness, that broadened my inquiries as the article links Kellog Brown and Root, a subsidiary of Halliburton to the worldwide distribution of drugs via the global network that Halliburton owns or operates on behalf of the US government and various corporations including major oil companies. A network that evolved over time initially through the CIA’s connection to the drug trade in the Golden Triangle but which has its roots in Nazi Germany over thirty years earlier and its connection to US big business. And in the post-war period, Brown Brothers Harriman were also involved in laundering Nazi money through a Dutch-based bank.
And then synchronicity kicked in, as in the middle of writing this piece, I get emailed an article in the New Hampshire Gazette that expands on the piece I included in the ‘Bush Family Saga’ on Prescott Bush, Avril Harriman and Brown Brothers Harriman Bank and its connections to the Nazi Party that it now emerges continued until 1951. What the new information reveals is that the financial connections between US and German capitalism extended even further than had been known until the new documents were released.

A central player in the US/Nazi big business connection was Standard Oil of New Jersey, the Rockefellar-owned corporation that during the 1930s merged with IG. Farben, one of the major backers of Hitler’s National Socialist Party and supplier of the infamous gas Cyklon B used in the extermination camps. Standard Oil (now Exxon) also owned the oil concessions in Saudi Arabia (later to be renamed Aramco). Other major players involved in the Nazi business connection include General Motors, Ford and ITT.

The Bush regime is part of an unbroken link that extends back to the founding of Hitler’s National Socialist Party through the funding it received from Brown Brothers Harriman Banking, Prescott Bush’s bank and the subsequent link between this bank and Kellog Brown and Root, now a subsidiary of Halliburton and its connections to Bush through the Rumsfeld/Cheney connection and their connection to Halliburton. Brown Brothers Harriman Bank owned Dresser Industries, one of the world’s largest oil drilling companies that in 1998, under urging from Dick Cheney was purchased by Halliburton in an $8.1 billion dollar deal. The link is complete. And yes, it is the same Brown in Brown and Root as the Brown Brothers Harriman Bank.

The point is, a clique of key big business interests extending back over several generations runs the US. And that if anyone doubted that, putting it down to wild ideas of a conspiracy, you have to be blind not see it now. That Bush’s wealth descends directly from backing the Nazi Party is incontrovertible and that the Bush family’s involvement in the trade in drugs and weapons as an intrinsic part of the ‘war on communism’, later to become the ‘war on terror’ that extends back thirty years is also incontrovertible.

But why has the current Bush administration hired so many key individuals from the Reagan/Bush years including Richard Armitage, Colonel ‘Ollie’ North, Michael Ledeen, Otto Reich and others? What was so special about a bunch of guys at the centre of the Iran-contra scandal, money laundering operations, drug smuggling and other dirty dealings going back forty years? Enter Ruppert’s article.

Ruppert’s piece illustrates the central role that Brown and Root/Halliburton have played as a global conduit for drugs and the central role that Halliburton/Brown and Root play in Bush’s imperial grab for power. In this context, Armitage suddenly looks like small fry, but consider this; the people who have carried out the imperial policies of subsequent US administrations that extend back to Roosevelt in the 1930s, are people like Armitage, without whom, executing the imperium’s plans could well be severely compromised. Why? A close-knit group of people, all with intimate ties to US intelligence services including the DEA, the CIA and the DIA as well as connections to the banking, oil and defense industries, are also people who are intimately connected to the global trade in drugs, weapons and laundered money. Links that extended to the Vatican Bank, (Banco Lavorno Nationale), BCCI and Nugan Hand. Key players in Iran-contra were also officers or had connections to these banks. Some were involved in laundering money for the CIA. The notorious S&L banking crashes of the 1980s also involved Bush family members.


Deputy under-secretary of state Richard Armitage, the man who “enjoys killing”
“[Richard] Armitage, a former Navy SEAL, who reportedly enjoyed combat missions and killing during covert operations in Laos during the Vietnam War, has never been far from the Bush family’s side. Throughout his career, both in and out of government, he has been perpetually connected to CIA drug smuggling operations. Secretary of State Colin Powell, in a 1995 Washington Post story, called Armitage, “my white son.” In 1990, then President Bush dispatched Armitage to Russia to aid in its “transition” to capitalism. Armitage’s Russian work for Bush has been frequently connected to the explosion of drug trafficking under the Russian Mafias, which became virtual rulers of the nation afterwards. In the early 1990s Armitage had extensive involvement in Albania at the same time that the Albanian ally, Kosovo Liberation Army was coming to power and consolidating its grip, according to The Christian Science Monitor, on 70% of the heroin entering western Europe.”

Strictly speaking, when dealing with politics, the personalities of the people involved are supposedly less important than the context, the power relations, money, class and so forth. But when it comes to the cabal of individuals grouped around the Bush presidency, many of whom have a history of involvement with assassinations, terrorism, drugs, money laundering and other illegal activities, the motivations, the psychology of the individuals involved has a direct bearing on the nature of the activities. Such is the case with people like Richard Armitage although there are others such as Otto Reich, Michael Ledeen and Colonel ‘Ollie’ North. In fact, the list is so big, and stretches back through the administrations of several successive US presidents, that the relationship between the policies and the individuals has to be viewed as inseparable. One could justifiably argue that breaking the law in order to further US policies is now inseparable part of ‘doing business’.South East Asia, oil, guns and drugs; Nicaragua guns and drugs; Iran, oil and guns; Israel, guns and oil; Iraq, guns and oil; Saudi Arabia, guns and oil; Albania, drugs and oil; Russia oil and drugs, Central and South America, guns, drugs and oil. In all of these situations the name Richard Armitage crops up time and again over more than thirty years of loyal service to US capitalism.Outrageous? The global trade in cocaine and heroin is estimated at around $500 BILLION and no doubt this is an under-estimate. The US is the major market for drugs just as it is for oil and in turn it is the world’s number one seller of weapons. Is it any wonder that the three commodities go hand in hand and that the US should be at centre of the global trade in these three valuable commodities. “Noting the indiscreet arrogance of Wall Street in engaging in criminal behavior, I wrote in May’s issue, after Citigroup’s brazen acquisition of Mexico’s drug money-laundering bank, Banamex, “It doesn’t matter anymore whether the American public chooses to notice. The fait accompli is that drug money and criminal money are now out of the closet as the most important determinants of economic success for the US financial system. The careless arrogance of these moves only reveals the utter confidence in Washington, on Wall Street and in the banking system that no voices from the wilderness can stop it.” Michael Ruppert
http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/oct152001.html
What started out as an intrinsic component of the ‘war on Communism’ has its logical conclusion in the ‘war on terror’ and oil, guns and drugs are the threads that tie the current Bush administration to over three decades of international piracy and terrorism that forms the backdrop for the current policies of the Bush regime.That the US uses the tactics that it accuses its enemies of using should come as no surprise, especially when we consider that the supposed enemies of the US are more often than not its creatures, some of whom have returned to haunt it and especially the cocaine barons. It should also come as no surprise that the corporate media in both the US and the UK have a vested interest in covering up this shameful past, for to do otherwise would expose the cosy relationship that exists between the media and corporate capitalism. Exposing it now would also expose the hypocrisy of the 4th estate and its complicity in deceiving us all. And even as I write, the BBC quotes Armitage as he calls for intensifying the ‘war on terrorism’ as though he were ‘just a diplomat’, completely ignoring the man’s past record and the total airbrushing of history in the classic Stalin mode that goes completely unchallenged.The same names crop up with tedious regularity and raise the issue that far from being the odd ‘bad apple’ or lose cannon, the individuals who now constitute the core of the Bush cabal, have been breaking the law, both domestic and international, in order to further the interests of US capitalism. But what we see now, is way beyond the ‘normal’ practices of furthering US foreign policy. What it formerly chose to hide, it is now brazenly advocates, indeed it forms the core of its policy as outlined in the PNAC and other strategic documents.But it’s the corporations that these individuals have or had an interest in such as Halliburton, Unocal, Boeing, Chevron, Enron before its demise, and a host of other defence, electronics and pharmaceuticals corporations, that have been the principal beneficiaries of the policies of the Bush regime and of previous US administrations, especially Halliburton and the subsidiary, Brown and Root, have both been connected to the drug trade: “A closer look at available research, including an August 2, 2000 report by the Center for Public Integrity (CPI) at www.public-i.org, suggests that drug money has played a role in the successes achieved by Halliburton under Cheney’s tenure as CEO from 1995 to 2000. This is especially true for Halliburton’s most famous subsidiary, heavy construction and oil giant, Brown and Root. A deeper look into history reveals that Brown and Root’s past as well as the past of Dick Cheney himself, connect to the international drug trade on more than one occasion and in more than one way.This June the lead Washington, D.C. attorney for a major Russian oil company connected in law enforcement reports to heroin smuggling and also a beneficiary of US backed loans to pay for Brown and Root contracts in Russia, held a $2.2 million fund raiser to fill the already bulging coffers of presidential candidate George W. Bush. This is not the first time that Brown and Root has been connected to drugs and the fact is that this “poster child” of American industry may also be a key player in Wall Street’s efforts to maintain domination of the half trillion dollar a year global drug trade and its profits. And Dick Cheney, who has also come closer to drugs than most suspect, and who is also Halliburton’s largest individual shareholder ($45.5 million), has a vested interest in seeing to it that Brown and Root’s successes continue.” Moreover, it’s the connection between war, oil, drugs and US corporations that is the key to the Bush imperium, for without war, or preparing for one where would corporations like Halliburton be? Ever since 9/11 the profits of Halliburton have literally shot through the roof. Indeed, ever since 1990, with no country or entity to curb the ambitions of US imperialism, profits from wars of one kind or another have seen the rise of the warfare state that makes the profits made out of the Vietnam War pale into insignificance. And without the ‘war on drugs’, the US would not be in the position to use its economic and military clout to subvert the governments and economies of so many countries around the world. The line between the ‘war on drugs’ and the ‘war on terror’ has effectively dissolved. Linking the two wars is oil, the ‘drug of choice’ for US capitalism. “[E]verywhere there is oil there is Brown and Root. But increasingly, everywhere there is war or insurrection there is Brown and Root also. From Bosnia and Kosovo, to Chechnya, to Rwanda, to Burma, to Pakistan, to Laos, to Vietnam, to Indonesia, to Iran to Libya to Mexico to Colombia, Brown and Root’s traditional operations have expanded from heavy construction to include the provision of logistical support for the U.S. military. Now, instead of U.S. Army quartermasters, the world is likely to see Brown and Root warehouses storing and managing everything from uniforms to rations to vehicles.“As described by the Associated Press, during “Iran-Contra” Congressman Dick Cheney of the House Intelligence Committee was a rabid supporter of Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North. This was in spite of the fact that North had lied to Cheney in a private 1986 White House briefing. Oliver North’s own diaries and subsequent investigations by the CIA Inspector General have irrevocably tied him directly to cocaine smuggling during the 1980s and the opening of bank accounts for one firm moving four tons of cocaine a month. This, however, did not stop Cheney from actively supporting North’s 1994 unsuccessful run for the U.S. Senate from Virginia just a year before he took over the reins at Brown and Root’s parent company, Dallas based Halliburton Inc. in 1995.

“As the Bush Secretary of Defense during Desert Shield/Desert Storm (1990-91), Cheney also directed special operations involving Kurdish rebels in northern Iran. The Kurds’ primary source of income for more than fifty years has been heroin smuggling from Afghanistan and Pakistan through Iran, Iraq and Turkey. Having had some personal experience with Brown and Root I noted carefully  when the Los Angeles Times observed that on March 22, 1991 that a group of gunmen burst into the Ankara, Turkey offices of the joint venture, Vinnell, Brown and Root and assassinated retired Air Force Chief Master Sergeant John Gandy.
“In March of 1991, tens of thousands of Kurdish refugees, long-time assets of the CIA, were being massacred by Saddam Hussein in the wake of the Gulf War. Saddam, seeking to destroy any hopes of a successful Kurdish revolt, found it easy to kill thousands of the unwanted Kurds who had fled to the Turkish border seeking sanctuary. There, Turkish security forces, trained in part by the Vinnell, Brown and Root partnership, turned thousands of Kurds back into certain death. Today, the Vinnell Corporation (a TRW Company) is, along with the firms MPRI and DynCorp (FTW June, 00) one of the three pre-eminent private mercenary corporations in the world. It is also the dominant entity for the training of security forces throughout the Middle East. Not surprisingly the Turkish border regions in question were the primary transhipment points for heroin, grown in Afghanistan and Pakistan and destined for the markets of Europe.”

These extracts are from an article written in 2000, three years before the US invaded Iraq and before Bush the smaller stole the election. It’s clear from the connections between all the players including Colin Powell, whose links to Iran-Contra and who is a close pal of Armitage, and the guns for drugs scandal, Halliburton, Brown and Root, Dyncorp, Vinnell Corporation go all the way back to old man Prescott Bush and his links to financing the German Nazi Party via Brown Brothers Harriman Bank that owned Dresser Industries that is now owned by Halliburton. Dresser built oil platforms in key drug routes around the world including the Gulf of Mexico. What better offloading location could one have than an oil platform.And clearly, the illegal nature of the activities of the Armitages of this world, mixing with drug smugglers, assassins, money launderers, covert arms dealers and the like, means that their actions are already thoroughly compromised. And this is critically important to my analysis because it exposes the so-called morality that the imperialists like to espouse as fundamental to their policies of supposedly supporting human rights, democracy and the like as a complete fraud.So who is Richard Armitage and why is Armitage and his peers — with involvements stretching back to the Vietnam War era and even before — suddenly back in ‘favour’? What is it that they bring to the Bush administration that makes them so important to have onboard?Power, drugs, guns, money and the connections that come with it are at the top of the list and as I hope to show, they go to the very heart of the totally corrupt regime that now runs America. Most important of all, it exposes the ruthless nature of the capitalist system, a system that takes ends justifying the means to the ultimate conclusion, that in order to preserve the system anything goes including the use of drugs as an integral part of projecting US economic and political power.Armitage is, I suppose, typical of the kind of person who does the dirty work of imperialism, whether it’s for money, prestige or personal satisfaction. (For a complete listing of Armitage’s financial investments see http://www.public-i.org/cgi-bin/WhosWhoSearch.asp?Display=Details&Person_ID=1007)The CIA’s involvement in drug running that started during the Vietnam War with Project Phoenix is perhaps the key to the current situation as the connections made during that period set the scene for later US involvement with the sale of drugs as means to further US foreign policy, whether as a source of finance for the illegal purchase and sale of weapons or as a means of destabilising countries and communities, or winning friends and influencing people. Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Afghanistan, Albania, Russia are just some of the countries whose economies and cultures have been taken over through the US policy of the ‘war on drugs’. “Project Phoenix…was financed in part with opium money. It has been alleged that the close relationship with SE Asian drug dealers continued after the US withdrawal from Vietnam, with Iran used as a conduit for drugs and money. It has also been reported that, as a sequel to Project Phoenix, an off-the-books assassination program was established in Iran.“The Phoenix or Phuong Hoang Operation was originally designed to “neutralize,” that is assassinate or imprison, members of the civilian infrastructure of the [Vietnamese] National Liberation Front. Phoenix offices were set up from Saigon down to the district level. Their functions were to: (1) collate intelligence about the “Vietcong Infrastructure”; (2) interrogate civilians picked up at random by military units carrying out sweeps through villages; (3) “neutralize” targeted members of the NLF . . . The original Phoenix concept was quickly diluted, for two main reasons: (1) pressure from the top to fill numerical quotas of person to be neutralized; (2) difficulties at the bottom of identifying NLF civilian infrastructure, who were often indistinguishable from the general population, and the near impossibility of proving anyone membership in the NLF. The result was vastly to increase the numbers of innocent persons rounded up and imprisoned, indiscriminately murdered, and brutally tortured in an effort to show results . . . Between 1968 and 1972 hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese civilians were rounded up and turned over to the Vietnamese police for questioning. Such interrogation has usually been marked by brutal torture.
http://www.vicpeace.org/stories/03/1070.html
“After four tours with the U.S. Navy in Vietnam, Armitage joined the U.S. Defense Attaché’s Office in Saigon in 1973, just in time to play a key role in “preparing” the botched evacuation of friendly South Vietnamese. Tens of thousands of loyal partners who had worked with the Americans were abandoned to advancing North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong forces.Never one to admit failure or duplicity, Armitage covered his own posterior by accusing the Central Intelligence Agency of wrongly predicting that a deal for an orderly pullout could be arrived at with the advancing communists and then failing to provide enough notice that Saigon was about to fall.Fresh from the debacle in Southeast Asia, Armitage went to work as a consultant for the Defense Intelligence Agency, where the quality of his work, to say the least, did not improve.”
http://www.yellowtimes.org/article.php?sid=673
Following the US withdrawal from Vietnam in 1975, Armitage joined the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and was posted to Tehran where he excelled at not predicting the overthrow of the Shah (the man he had been assigned to keep on the throne) and even went as far as accusing the Ayotollah Khomeini of being a friend of the Soviets. “Armitage became…a special consultant to the Department of Defense, working out of Bangkok and dealing with unrepatriated prisoners and the missing in action. Armitage also started a mysterious business called the Far East Trading Company. Meanwhile, from 1976 to 1979 in Iran, Richard Secord was supervising the sale of US military aircraft and weapons to Middle Eastern nations. During this same period, there are reports that Shackley, Clines, Secord, and Armitage set up several curious corporations and subsidiaries around the world including Lake Resources, Stanford Technology Trading Group, Compa[g]nie de Services Fiduciaria, CSF Investments and Udall Research Corporation.”
http://www.vicpeace.org/stories/03/1070.html
In fact all the companies referred to above, were and those that still exist, are so-called proprietaries of the CIA, a fact that further reinforces the belief that during this period Armitage was in the employ of the CIA, and although we can only speculate as to his role during this period, it is generally believed that the front companies were used for CIA covert actions in Southeast Asia and later in Afghanistan and it’s been suggested that the idea of using heroin as a weapon in the ‘war against communism’ in both Indo-China and Afghanistan was Armitage’s idea.

    “His critics had alleged in the past that he was the author of the idea of using heroin to weaken the fighting capability of the communists in Indo-China and then in Afghanistan though the late Le Comte de Marenches, the head of the French External Intelligence Agency under Presidents George Pompidou and Giscard d’Estaing, had claimed that it was he who had given this idea to the Americans with specific reference to Afghanistan.”

February 1995: Albanian Narco-Terrorism Destabilizes the Balkans

Edit event

According to a report in Jane’s Intelligence Review, Albanian narco-terrorism, gun-running, and smuggling organizations are becoming a dominant economic, political, and military force in the Balkans. Jane’s expresses the concern that if left unchecked, the Albanian mafia will become powerful enough to control one or more states in the region. Albanian President Sali Berisha “is now widely suspected of tolerating and even directly profiting from drug-trafficking for wider political-economic reasons, namely the financing of secessionist political parties and other groupings in Kosovo and Macedonia.” [JANE’S INTELLIGENCE REVIEW, 2/1/1995]

1996-1999: Albanian Mafia and KLA Take Control of Balkan Heroin Trafficking Route

Edit event

Albanian Mafia and KLA take control of Balkan route heroin trafficking from Turkish criminal groups. In 1998, Italian police are able to arrest several major traffickers. Many of the criminals involved are also activists for the Kosovo independence movement, and some are KLA leaders. Much of the money is funneled through the KLA (see 1997), which is also receiving support and protection from the US. The Islamic influence is obvious in the drug operations, which for example shut down during the month of Ramadan. Intercepted telephone messages speak of the desire “to submerge Christian infidels in drugs.”[AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE, 6/9/1998CORRIERE DELLA SERA (MILAN), 10/15/1998CORRIERE DELLA SERA (MILAN), 1/19/1999] Testifying to Congress in December 2000, Interpol Assistant Director Ralph Mutschke states that “Albanian organized crime groups are hybrid organizations, often involved both in criminal activity of an organized nature and in political activities, mainly relating to Kosovo. There is evidence that the political and criminal activities are deeply intertwined.” Mutschke also says that there is also strong evidence that bin Laden is involved in funding and organizing criminal activity through links to the Albanian mafia and the KLA.(see Early 1999)[US CONGRESS, 12/13/2000 pdf file]

Mid-1996-October 2001: Ariana Airlines Becomes Transport Arm of Al-Qaeda and Taliban

Edit event

In 1996, al-Qaeda assumes control of Ariana Airlines, Afghanistan’s national airline, for use in its illegal trade network. Passenger flights become few and erratic, as planes are used to fly drugs, weapons, gold, and personnel, primarily between Afghanistan, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Pakistan. The Emirate of Sharjah, in the UAE, becomes a hub for al-Qaeda drug and arms smuggling. Typically, “large quantities of drugs” are flown from Kandahar, Afghanistan, to Sharjah, and large quantities of weapons are flown back to Afghanistan. [LOS ANGELES TIMES, 11/18/2001] About three to four flights run the route each day. Many weapons come from Victor Bout, a notorious Russian arms dealer based in Sharjah. [LOS ANGELES TIMES, 1/20/2002] Afghan taxes on opium production are paid in gold, and then the gold bullion is flown to Dubai, UAE, and laundered into cash.[WASHINGTON POST, 2/17/2002] Taliban officials regularly provide militants with false papers identifying them as Ariana Airlines employees so they can move freely around the world. For instance, one flight on a Ariana small plane in 2000 lists 33 crew members. A former National Security Council official later claims the US is well aware at the time that al-Qaeda agents regularly fly on Ariana Airlines. (However, US intelligence will not learn of the widespread use of forged Ariana IDs until after 9/11.) The CIA learns of Bout’s connection to Ariana and the Taliban in 1998, but takes no action (see 1998). The US presses the UAE for tighter banking controls, but moves “delicately, not wanting to offend an ally in an already complicated relationship,” and little changes by 9/11. [LOS ANGELES TIMES, 11/18/2001FARAH AND BRAUN, 2007, PP. 139] Much of the money for the 9/11 hijackers flows though these Sharjah, UAE, channels. There also are reports suggesting that Ariana Airlines might have been used to train Islamic militants as pilots. The illegal use of Ariana Airlines helps convince the United Nations to impose sanctions against Afghanistan in 1999, but the sanctions lack teeth and do not stop the airline. A second round of sanctions finally stops foreign Ariana Airlines flights, but its charter flights and other charter services keep the illegal network running.[LOS ANGELES TIMES, 11/18/2001] About nine of the 9/11 hijackers work at the Kandahar airport in 2000, which is Ariana’s main hub (see Summer 2000).

Late 1996: Bin Laden Becomes Active in Opium Trade

Edit event

Bin Laden establishes and maintains a major role in opium drug trade, soon after moving the base of his operations to Afghanistan. Opium money is vital to keeping the Taliban in power and funding bin Laden’s al-Qaeda network. One report estimates that bin Laden takes up to 10 percent of Afghanistan’s drug trade by early 1999. This would give him a yearly income of up to $1 billion out of $6.5 to $10 billion in annual drug profits from within Afghanistan. [FINANCIAL TIMES, 11/28/2001] The US monitors bin Laden’s satellite phone starting in 1996 (seeNovember 1996-Late August 1998). According to one newspaper, “Bin Laden was heard advising Taliban leaders to promote heroin exports to the West.” [GUARDIAN, 9/27/2001]

1997: KLA Surfaces to Resist Serbian Persecution of Albanians

Edit event

The Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) emerges to resist Serbia’s campaign against Yugoslavia’s Albanian population. The force is financed by Albanian expatriates and Kosovar smugglers (see 1996-1999) (see Early 1999). According to news reports, the KLA receives some $1.5 billion in drug and arms smuggling profits from Kosovar Albanian traffickers each year. [MOTHER JONES, 1/2000] The US Drug Enforcement Agency office in Rome tells the Philadelphia Inquirer in March 1999 that the KLA is “financing [its] war through drug trafficking activities, weapons trafficking, and the trafficking of other illegal goods, as well as contributions of their countrymen working abroad.” [PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, 3/15/1999] Less than a year later, Mother Jones magazine will report that it obtained a congressional briefing paper which states: “We would be remiss to dismiss allegations that between 30 and 50 percent of the KLA’s money comes from drugs.” [MOTHER JONES, 1/2000]

Early 1997-Late 1998: Hijazi Turns Informant for Boston FBI Investigation on Heroin from Afghanistan

Edit event

Raed Hijazi’s Boston taxi license.Raed Hijazi’s Boston taxi license.[Source: FBI]Raed Hijazi, an al-Qaeda operative later convicted in Jordan for attempting to blow up hotels there, is living and working in Boston with Nabil al-Marabh. According to an FBI source described in media reports as both “reliable” and “high-level,” Hijazi is approached by FBI agents investigating a drug-trafficking network bringing in white heroin from Afghanistan. According to the source, Hijazi becomes “a willing informant” about the network. The source will claim that Hijazi also provided information about “Arab terrorists and terrorist sympathizers,” but the agents were more interested in the heroin trade. [WCVB 5 (BOSTON), 10/16/2001] The timing of this is unclear, but it must have occurred between early 1997 and late 1998, the only time Hijazi lived in Boston (see June 1995-Early 1999). An FBI spokeswoman will decline to comment on the issue except to say, “Based on the reporting, I would question [Hijazi’s] reliability [as an informant].” [BOSTON HERALD, 10/17/2001]

August 13, 1997: US Aware Taliban Are Paying Pakistani Government with Drugs

Edit event

A classified US cable on this date reveals US intelligence is aware that the Taliban are paying the Pakistani government for wheat and fuel with drugs. The cable suggests that Pakistan is planning to demand hard currency instead of drugs in order to restrain drug trafficking and increase revenue, but it is unclear if this change ever takes place. [US EMBASSY (ISLAMABAD), 8/13/1997 pdf file]
