The #CIA Double-Dip: #Drugs, #Fraud, & the #JFK Assassination

madcowprod,com

A six-year long investigation into the drug trafficking operation in St Petersburg Florida that was exposed when two planes were busted in the Yucatan carrying a total of 10 tons of cocaine revealed the planes had all been “parked,” or “sheep-dipped,” in the names of straw owners to conceal the CIA’s involvement.

The composition of this group of straw owners, composed of a fascinating collection of people with often interlocking connections through various other enterprises, says a lot about the circles the CIA runs in. 

Among the few who lent their names to the registration of more than one of these CIA planes is the granddaughter of Texas oil tycoon H.L. Hunt, who back in the 1930’s was known as the richest man in America. Hunt’s other singular distinction is having been accused by Russian newspaper Pravda of being behind the JFK assassination.

 

A disquieting discovery

The investigation uncovered incontrovertible, if unsurprising, proof of involvement in the operation by the Mob (in this case, the Chicago Outfit) by Texas oil interests, Saudi financiers, and, of course, the CIA.

But unearthing new evidence about the CIA’s role in the drug trade for the past 50 years no longer provides much grist for the gossip mill. Time marches on. Gary Webb was right. Everybody knows it. 

One sign of the times is that where once there was outrage over CIA involvement in drug trafficking, today many seem glad to see the Agency developing outside interests that don’t require access to a dungeon. 

What is eye-opening however is the disquieting discovery that those involved in the enterprise, like Adnan Khashoggi and his lieutenant Ramy El-Batrawi, both of whom have long histories in past CIA operations, also used their ability to operate with impunity—their get out of jail free card—to act like the worst sort of double-dealing flimflam men, bunco artists and grifters. 

Dangerous Black Ice -Drugs- (Final)

For those who believe that watching TV novels about drug traffickers, knows how the world of drugs works and who manages this business, reading this post is essential to realize that what goes on TV is pure commercial trash, marketing. The truth will never be told in mercantilist cheap TV series, the truth will never be shown to those who believe in news programs or in stories of pseudo-drug-experts that wonder around lecturing and winning money by lying to people. The drug problem goes beyond known capos, human addicts or drug legalization. Legalization is not the answer, is the beginning of the conflict, the true capos own the world, they are the only beneficiaries of legalization, addiction and drug production. There is too much to know about this matter, but these readings can be a start.

How the CIA sheep-dips its fleet of planes

In the FAA records of the Hawker 700, something unusual is visible almost immediately.

The plane’s registration changes hands four times between 2000 and 2009,. Yet it remains at all times under the control of Don Whittington.

The plane’s FAA registration shows that World Jet sold it to Mountain Aviation LLC of Cheyenne Wyoming in August 2000.

Mountain Aviation then sold it back to World Jet on the 22nd of May 2002.

Then R.D. (Don) Whittington, as an individual, apparently not bothering to change the plane’s registration from his company’s name to his own first, sold it to Hawker Jet 400, of Wilmington, in October 2007.

Hawker Jet 400 of Wilmington Delaware is another Whittington-controlled company, as can be seen in a registration form signed by its chief executive ( R.D. (Don) Whittington) when it is sold back to Mountain Aviation in Cheyenne in February of 2009.

Three corporate entities swapped the plane back and forth. It went from World Jet in Fort Lauderdale to Mountain Aviation in Cheyenne Wyoming, to Hawker Jet 400 in Wilmington Delaware, and then back to Mountain Aviation in Cheyenne.

Yet all three were controlled by Don Whittington.

The change of registration to Mountain Aviation is signed by Mountain Aviation executive Steven J Halmos, whose name will become significant shortly. But both the DEA affidavit, which asserts Mountain Aviation is controlled by Whittington, and a 2009 filing by Mountain Aviation to the FAA on the plane, signed by Tammy Whitmier, Whittington’s long-time assistant and bookkeeper, make it clear that Mountain Aviation is a Whittington-controlled company.

The point of all the changes is to game the FAA’s antiquated registration system to introduce uncertainty. The benefits of this strategy became immediately clear when the American-registered Gulfstream went down in the Yucatan.

Investigating the covert activities of U.S. spy agencies—and many of the actions of the Whittington Brothers at World Jet fall within any reasonable definition of “U.S. covert activities”—leads into thickets which are overrun with the names of dummy front companies—called Donna Blue Aircraft, Southern Air Transport, or Hawker 400—whose true purpose is to sow confusion and hide the identities of those involved.

 

Beyond Human Ken

The result of these efforts —absent persistent and skeptical inquiry in the major media, which is always utterly lacking—is to make it appear as if Mankind’s knowledge of the ownership of luxury jets that "just happen" to get busted carrying multi-ton loads of cocaine is governed—like our understanding of the movement of subatomic quarks—by the equivalent of Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle.

The more influential the listed owner of a busted American-registered drug plane, the more uncertain the identification. The Associated Press headline about the Gulfstream, “How the U.S.-registered Gulfstream ended up in the hands of suspected drug traffickers remains a mystery,” clearly suggests answers may lie beyond human ken.

The Associated Press' lack of any follow-up clearing up the mystery speaks volumes.

The answers are blowing (like tumbleweeds) in the wind

The answers don't lie beyond human ken. They lie in the Arizona desert, 90 miles southeast of Phoenix, at a remote former CIA airbase that shimmers in the heat amid an otherwise unbroken vista of cactus and tumbleweed.
