Hillary Clinton is repeating the methodology of the Iran/Contra affair, using “black” funds to finance the operation to ensure President Correa is not re-elected.
I had two excellent sources for the news that the US/UK strategy against Julian Assange was to ensure the defeat of President Correa in Presidential elections next spring, and then have him expelled from the Ecuadorean Embassy. One source was within the UK civil service and one in Washington. Both had direct, personal access to the information I described. Both told me in the knowledge I would publish it.
Of course Assange is not the only reason Clinton wants rid of Correa; but it adds spice and urgency.
We now have completely independent evidence from Chile that this CIA operation exists, from journalists who were investigating a smuggling operation involving 300 kg per month of cocaine, organised by the Chilean army and security services.
The links to US intelligence emerged after an anonymous source from the Agencia Nacional de Inteligencia (ANI) told Panoramas News that the smuggling of 300 kilos of cocaine was in fact a highly sensitive CIA/DEA operation that would help to raise money to topple the government of Ecuador. The operation is similar to the one carried out by the Agency in Central America during the Iran-Contra scandal in the 1980’s, the source said.
A few days ago I published information I had received that Patricio Mery Bell, the director of the news programme which broke the story, had been lured to a meeting with a young lady “informant” who had worked with CIA-backed anti-Cuban groups in Miami. She had then accused him of sexual assault (does any of that scenario sound familiar?) He was arrested and his materials had been confiscated. However I took the article down after jst a few minutes because I had received the information in emails from sources I did not know previously, and was unsure it could stand up. It does now appear that this is indeed true.
My Washigton informant had told me, as I published, that the funds for the anti-Correa operation were not from the CIA budget but from secret funds controlled by the Pentagon. This could not be done by CIA funds because, perhaps surprisingly, for the CIA to operate in this way is a crime in the United States.
Whether my informant knew or suspected that the “secret Pentagon funds” were drug money I do not know. They did not mention narcotics.
‘Israeli army releases 11 second clip of the air strike that killed Ahmed Jabri this afternoon’
They’re calling it a ‘pin point strike’. So why are they killing 4 year old girls?
It’s called terrorism.

Israel calls up reservists, gets ready for Gaza invasion
Here we go again; more mass murder and war crimes on the cards by the Zionist bastards, who will no doubt be supported by our Friends of Israel MPs in parliament.
Two Dolfin submarines were donated by Germany to Israel originally.
‘Germany had already donated two Dolphin submarines to the Israeli navy after the Gulf War in the early 1990s. The first-of-class INS (Israeli Naval Ship) Dolphin was commissioned in 1999, while INS Leviathan was commissioned in 2000. The Israelis later bought a 3rd submarine for $350 million total, using a 50/50 shared cost arrangement with the German government. INS Tekuma (“revival, renewal”) also entered service in 2000.’
I expect you know that the story goes that have been adapted to launch nuclear missiles. That is the nuclear weapons they deny possessing.

Yes, Mary, they don’t like to talk about it. But Ehud Olmert let the cat out of the bag in 2006.
Olmert: Iran wants nuclear weapons like Israel

Brilliant link Dreoilin. That’s Omlet, as I call him, the convicted fraudster who did not see the inside of an Israel jail unlike thousands of adult and juvenile Palestinians.
To give you an idea of how difficult it would be to defeat Correa as things stand, there’s a recent Cedatos survey where Correa leads by about 30 points over the next candidate. The interesting thing, however, is that among Ecuadorians who self-identify as “right wing”, Correa still leads by almost 10 points.
So it’s not true that Correa is only popular among the poor because of social programs. He’s generally a popular, competent president. We’re not exactly talking about Chavez here.
The only things that might change the state of things would be some sort of personal scandal, an economic catastrophe, or something related to security.

Channel 4 News are showing the overhead film of the actual drone attack on Mr Ahmed al-Jabari, helpfully provided by Ms Liebovitz’s war department in Tel Aviv no doubt.
The Israeli navy is also attacking Gaza.
Zionist supporter Agent Cameron’s palliation at the Lord Mayor’s Banquet gushed an exhortation to keep the City of London alive and kicking, Predictably the farinaceous foreign policy fable encompassed a Cameron diatribe on this years blood-letting thus – “We spoke up for the Arab Spring, led international action to support the Libyan people in getting rid of Gaddafi, stepped up the EU sanctions on Iran and are at the forefront of efforts to isolate Assad in Syria.”

Terrible Thatcrab. But thanks for the timeline.
Well said, Mary. (And you made laugh about Omlet – laughs always appreciated here.)
Someone just asked me (on email) “Has there been worldwide Jewish condemnation of the mad Zionists?”
It was rhetorical, naturally.
Sky News, reporting on Gaza, went straight to an IDF spokesperson for comment. “That’ll be the day” when they look for comment from a Palestinian.
Mary (and everyone)
I seem to have established that you can post as many links as you like as long as you do your arithmetic at the bottom – just FYI. I hope I’m right, but it’s worked for me.
Must go for dinner.
The trouble is when Israel responds it always responds disproportionately. 1200 Lebanese were killed in retaliation to the killing of a handful of Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah. 400 of the Lebanese dead were children. My heart goes out to Palestinians and Israelis sheltering from the lethal weaponry of 21st century technology.
With cold-blooded assasination now acceptable tactics, various slimy Friends of Israel infesting our parliament and goverment better look out, its open season on Zionist scum.
Anyone any ideas on how to take the whole lot of them out in one go?
Cryptonym. Don’t know how to get them all at one go. Or even who all of them are. But the same people who control them control the press. That makes the signing of this petition to search out where your MP stands on media mafia control is important.

Not sure we’re any better at ‘pin-point’ or surgical strikes, so collateral damage ensues.
“They are not our teachers” Omar Mukhtar—-(fictional character, but still applies)
Live webcast from Gaza http://www.ustream.tv/channel/operation-pillar-of-cloud
The live broadcast indicated white phosphorous is being used.
It’s not listed as a banned chemical, or apparently in war crimes.
Why is that?
It was reportedly used by Israel in Gaza (2008)
“Instead of trying to curb Gaza’s Islamists from the outset, says Mr. Cohen, Israel for years tolerated and, in some cases, encouraged them as a counterweight to the secular nationalists of the Palestine Liberation Organization and its dominant faction, Yasser Arafat’s Fatah. Israel cooperated with a crippled, half-blind cleric named Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, even as he was laying the foundations for what would become Hamas. Sheikh Yassin continues to inspire militants today; during the recent war in Gaza, Hamas fighters confronted Israeli troops with “Yassins,” primitive rocket-propelled grenades named in honor of the cleric.”
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123275572295011847.html
Israel created Hamas, just as the West creates 10 terrorists for each one they kill. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing, over and over, while expecting a different result.
General Betray Us is the principal architect of the catastrophe of the US exit strategy from Iraq. He found chaos and he left chaos.
Since that time the US has woken up to the idea that it should be using its influence to make friends, not enemies. That is a concept which is unique to President Obama.
US policy may not change from presidency to presidency, but the relationship between its foes and the US always changes because of the utter failure of malign US interference. Islam has achieved recognition for its patience in the face of a decade of persecution.
General Petraus may be the man to build on that mutual respect, but not in his present dramatic character. Islam does not hold non-Muslims to their own marital rules any more than the US public. No damage done there. Political Islam has betted all its credibility on co=operation with the US on removing the tyranny of Russia and the Middle-Eastern dictators in exchange for a new, Islamic, Calvinistic tyranny of the Muslim Brotherhood alias Al CIAda. This involves a selection of boundary changes and that requires the skills of military/ political tacticians.
General Petraus is the man to persuade Turkey to transfer land to Kurdistan and Iraq to sacrifice land to Syria. He has a reputation from Iraq of having achieved utter and permanent destruction. So the choice facing those who are intermarried across the cultures of the new borders is, which is worse? The pain of separating Siamese twins joined at the shoulder by the British Empire, or the pain of the sectarian hell of Iraq.
“Anyone any ideas on how to take the whole lot of them out in one go?”
Organise a conference on Zionism. And give it a very controversial/provocative title?
But I’m not in favour of murdering Zionists any more than I’m in favour of murdering Hamas leaders, or so-called ‘militants’ in Pakistan.

What a brave abd cool young man Harry Fear is. He has just reported that the land invasion has begun. The U Stream link above.
Zionist loving Hagus is just able to utter some platitudes.
The British Foreign Office issued a statement saying: “We continue to call on all sides to exercise restraint to prevent a dangerous escalation that would be in no-one’s interests.”
Not a peep from Cameron or any of the other Western war criminals.
Couple of trolls on the Gaza feed chat stream desperate for Harry to take camera to roof. As soon as he does that IDF will know exactly where he is for certain. Then they will “accidentally” hit the building just like usual.
“exercise restraint to prevent a dangerous escalation”
that’s authoritarian speak for, ‘Keep it safe enough for us to continue the Plan, without losing control of the Beast paying us dividends”
Anon; thx for the link. How old is Harry, 20?
Vulnerable people deserve better.
Ben. Don’t know. Just saw the link elsewhere. His Youtube channel has been running since 2006 http://www.youtube.com/user/harryfear I notice.
Harry reports there’s a protest right now in Massingham(?) London.
Well he seems pretty young, anon. Cool, collected. Wow.
Yeah, so displacement activity. You know the kind of thing. Man gets chastised by his boss so goes home and thumps his partner or his kids.
Israel can’t get the war it wants – obliterating its sophisticated, urbane, reasonably prosperous near-neighbour, Iran – so it resorts to the old punch bag – Gaza. It’s a handy little outlet for aggression, and an object lesson in how bullies always pick on the weak.
