The then much-younger Senator John Kerry was probing the financial connections of drug cartels. He didn't get very far, largely because he was meeting a lot of resistance, not so much in the countries where the drugs were being produced, but right here in the good ol' US of A...from some of the people who should have been helping. That those people were later tied to the BCCI banking scandal should have come as no surprise, seeing as BCCI was a major money launderer. <BR/><BR/>As the old saying goes, "Pull a string and get a snake". The problem is the d**n thing's a rattler, and it will bite the person pulling its' tail. This is what usually happens to people who get too close to the real power behind much of the drug trade...as people such as Gary Webb tried to tell us...and paid a terrible price for doing so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-36036991369059749892008-01-26T15:43:00.000-06:002008-01-26T15:43:00.000-06:00Yes "Follow the Money".

See who really calls the shots at the banking corp. and who they work for. Things don't just happen when millions of dollars are involved. Fortunes are built on planning and hard work even if it is the drug business.<BR/><BR/>FTMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-72397054967393515692008-01-26T09:15:00.000-06:002008-01-26T09:15:00.000-06:00For a taste of what the future of this investigati...For a taste of what the future of this investigation might look like, I would suggest the curious review what's been happening to Sibel Edmonds. The US government has been using everything in its' power to prevent that woman from divulging what she knows regarding certain Very Important People's involvement in both drug smuggling and money laundering. I suspect that something very similar may happen here with this; it's just too pat, all these connections between narcos, bankers, spooks, politicians, etc. can't be waved away...except by the <I>demonstrably and willfully ignorant</I>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-86280953246562877882008-01-25T19:07:00.000-06:002008-01-25T19:07:00.000-06:00So you don't believe there are any American drug k...So you don't believe there are any American drug kingpins?Gritsforbreakfasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152152869466958902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-10112285229975685422008-01-25T19:05:00.000-06:002008-01-25T19:05:00.000-06:00Grits you really need to stop smoking that dope.Grits you really need to stop smoking that dope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-75819590005286001032008-01-25T15:46:00.000-06:002008-01-25T15:46:00.000-06:00A la Tony Montana and his bankers in Scarface.
