The Great Heroin Coup - Foreword and Chapter One FOREWORD ► November (1) ► October (5) The story of Christian David, an international narcotics trafficker used by the Intelligence ► September (3) services of at least three nations, is fascinating in itself. It is even more important for what it tells ► July (2) us of a larger, less documented history- the secret collaboration of government intelligence ► June (1) services and parallel police throughout the world, and their use of criminals, particularly from drug networks, for political counter-subversion. Above all it is an important book for Americans ► May (2) to read, since the shadow of the CIA can be seen behind Christian David's political intrigues in ► April (2) countries like France and Uruguay. America's role in Christian David's strange career has never ► 2012 (31) before, to my knowledge, been revealed in this country. And Henrik Kruger is able to expand the ► 2011 (69) story into larger perspectives on the CIA, Watergate, and current U.S. counterinsurgency tactics. The heavy censorship of David's story in the United States, or what may be called the media resistance to it, is perhaps the clearest symptom of America's involvement. For example, it was surely newsworthy that in June 1973 Le Monde, France's most respected newspaper, charged that the break up of the Ricord French drug network in Latin America (which had included David's arrest and extradition to the United States), was the result of a "close file:///C|/...ibrary/BOOKS/The%20Great%20Heroin%20Coup%20by%20Henrik%20Kruger/Quixotic%20Joust%20%20The%20Great%20Heroin%20Coup%20-%20Foreword%20and%20Chapter%20One.htm[12/1/2016 2:27:31 PM] Quixotic Joust: The Great Heroin Coup - Foreword and Chapter One Mafia police Narcotics Bureau collaboration" in the U.S. The result of this collaboration, according to Le Monde, was to shatter Corsican influence in the worldwide narcotics traffic, and 'Mr. Big' Extradited to U.S. in Sept. 1972 create a virtual monopoly for the U.S. Italian Mafia connection (whose key figures were Santo Trafficante in America and Luciano Liggio in Europe).[1] Le Monde's charges, many details of which have since been corroborated, were passed over in silence by the U.S. press. This studied disinterest in the politics of narcotics (other than the propaganda, including flagrant lies, from official press releases) is a recurring, predictable Like Don Quixote phenomenon of our press; and it has visibly had a deleterious impact on U.S. politics. If the Washington Post and the New York Times, then supposed exposers of Watergate, had picked up on stories like the one in Le Monde, then the history of Watergate might have been altered. For the history of Nixon's involvement in Watergate is intertwined with that of his personal involvement in drug enforcement. Nixon's public declaration in June 1971 of his war on heroin promptly led to his assemblage of White House Plumbers, Cubans, and even "hit squads" with the avowed purpose of combatting the international narcotics traffic. (Among those with a White House narcotics mission, or cover, were Krogh, Liddy, Hunt, Caulfield, Sturgis, and Bernard Barker.)[2] Forever Tilting at Windmills Many writers have since suggested that Nixon's war on heroin was part of his "grand design" to develop a new drug Popular Posts super-agency, under direct White House control, into "the From Candy Barr to Maureen strong investigative arm for domestic surveillance that Dean, and lots of gambling in President Nixon had long quested after."[3] Yet the between In a previous edition of this blog it establishment press failed to look critically at Nixon's war on was mentioned that Lyndon heroin.

Auguste J. Ricord cultivation in Turkey). As the New Republic noted only one month later, Nixon's decision to shut down the supply of Turkish opium was "likely to do no more than drive the Followers industry further east."[5] Followers (16) Next Another, and even more cynical view of Nixon's action is to see it as a direct attack on the French Corsican networks which relied almost exclusively on Turkey as their source of supply, and which, according to Le Monde, were being deliberately forced out of the international drug trade as the result of a "close Mafia police Narcotics Bureau collaboration." Le Monde stated explicitly that it was the U.S. Sicilian Mafia which closed down the sluice gates of Turkish Follow opium production. Was Nixon personally playing a role, as Henrik Kruger suggests, in this seamy international drug war between rival networks? Such a possibility seems less remote when we recall the rivalry which had grown up in the 1960s between deGaulle's intelligence services and the CIA, and the respective reliance of these services upon the rival Corsican and U.S. Italian crime syndicates. Nixon announces "war on heroin" on June 17, 1971. Le Monde had no difficulty in spelling out the American side of the intelligence Mafia connection, even though the CIA activities of Santo Trafficante, the alleged heir to the Luciano network, were not known to it at the time: Instructed by his own experience of collaboration with the American intelligence services, Lucky Luciano used to recommend to his honorable file:///C|/...ibrary/BOOKS/The%20Great%20Heroin%20Coup%20by%20Henrik%20Kruger/Quixotic%20Joust%20%20The%20Great%20Heroin%20Coup%20-%20Foreword%20and%20Chapter%20One.htm[12/1/2016 2:27:31 PM] Quixotic Joust: The Great Heroin Coup - Foreword and Chapter One correspondents scattered from Beirut to Tangiers, via Ankara and Marseilles, to operate as he had done. It was in this way that drug dealers and couriers served as informants to [the British] MI5, to [the American] CIA, to [the French] SDECE, to the [West German] Gehlen organization, even to the Italian SIFFAR.[6] On the French side, LeMonde was predictably more reticent; but from other sources we learn that at least two members of the competing Ricord network, Christian David and Michel Nicoli, were former members of the Gaullist Service d'Action Civique (SAC), the parallel Luciano police or barbouzes who had been used to assassinate members of the right wing Organisation de I'Armee Secrete (OAS), in revolt against de Gaulle's accommodation with Algeria. Through SAC, David and Nicoli had come into contact with SDECE operations as well.[7] One of the major theses of Henrik Kruger's fascinating book is that "the great heroin coup" the "remarkable shift" from Marseilles (Corsican) to Southeast Asian and Mexican (Mafia) heroin in the United States, was a deliberate move to reconstruct and redirect the heroin trade, rather than to eliminate it, and that Cuban exiles, Santo Trafficante, the CIA, and the Nixon White House were all involved: It was, needless to say, not a willful conspiracy of all the above.

  • Ex-Spy Says She Drove to Dallas with Oswald & Kennedy 'Assassin
    Ex-Spy Says She Drove To Dallas With Oswald & Kennedy 'Assassin Squad' By PAUL MESKIL A former spy says that she accompanied Lee Harvey Oswald and an "assassin squad" to Dallas a few days before President Kennedy was murdered there Nov. 22, 1963. The House Assassinations Committee is investigating her story. Marita Lorenz, former undercov- er operative for the CIA and FBI, told The News that her companions on the car trip from Miami to Dallas were Os. wald, CIA contract agent Frank Sturgis, Cuban exile leaders Orlando Bosch and Pedro Diaz Lanz, and two Cuban broth- ers whose names she does not know. She said they were all members of Operation 40, a secret guerrilla group originally formed by the CIA in 1960 in preparation for the Bay of Pigs inva- sion. Statements she made to The News and to a federal agent were reported to Robert Blakey, chief counsel of the Assassinations Committee. He has as- signed one of his top investigators to interview her. Ms. Lorenz described Operation 40 as an ''assassination squad" consisting of about 30 anti-Castro Cubans and their American advisers. She claimed the group conspired to kill Cuban Premier Fidel Castro and President Kennedy, whom it blamed for the Bay of Pigs fiasco.

  • The Division System in Crisis Essays on Contemporary Korea Paik Nak-Chung
    The Division System in Crisis Essays on Contemporary Korea Paik Nak-chung Foreword by Bruce Cumings Translated by Kim Myung-hwan, Sol June-Kyu,Song Seung-cheol, and Ryu Young-joo, with the collaboration of the author Published in association with the University of California Press Paik Nak-chung is one of Korea’s most incisive contemporary public intellec- tuals. By training a literary scholar, he is perhaps best known as an eloquent cultural and political critic. This volume represents the first book-length col- lection of his writings in English. Paik’s distinctive theme is the notion of a “division system” on the Korean peninsula, the peculiar geopolitical and cultural logic by which one nation continues to be divided into two states, South and North. Identifying a single structure encompassing both Koreas and placing it within the framework of the contemporary world-system, Paik shows how this reality has insinuated itself into virtually every corner of modern Korean life. “A remarkable combination of scholar, author, critic, and activist, Paik Nak- chung carries forward in our time the ancient Korean ideal of marrying ab- stract learning to the daily, practical problems of the here and now. In this book he confronts no less than the core problem facing the Korean people since the mid-twentieth century: the era of national division, of two Koreas, an anomaly for a people united across millennia and who formed the basic sinews of their nation long before European nation-states began to develop.” BRUCE CUMINGS, from the foreword PAIK NAK-CHUNG is emeritus professor of English literature at Seoul National University.

The Iraqi MiG-21 ‘007’ arrived Israel during operation ‘Diamond’. It was an operation undertaken by the Mossad. Its goal was the acquisition of a Soviet-built Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21, the most advanced Soviet fighter plane at that time. The operation began in mid-1963 and ended on August 16, 1966, when an Iraqi Air Force MiG-21, flown by the Iraqi Assyrian defector Munir Redfa, landed at Hatzor air base in Israel. Israel and the United States were able to study the design of the plane. Soon after his defection, Redfa’s MiG was renumbered 007, reflecting the manner in which it had arrived. Within a few weeks the aircraft took off again with Israeli test pilot Danny Shapira at the controls, on the first of many test flights. The jet’s strengths and weaknesses were analyzed and it was flown against IAF fighters, eventually training Israeli pilots to deal with the aircraft. In May 1967 director of CIA Richard Helms said that Israel had proven that it had made good use of the aircraft, when on April 7, 1967, during aerial battles over the Golan Heights, the Israeli Air Force brought down 6 Syrian MiG-21s without losing any of its Dassault Mirage IIIs.

Ez az írás három esettanulmány bemutatásával vizsgálja, hogyan kapcsolódott össze e két terület az ország eddigi történelme során, és hogy miként tudta megőrizni Izrael Állam az ellenségeivel szemben kiemelten fontos technológiai fölényét a megfelelő információknak és titkosszolgálati műveleteinek köszönhetően.

Due to the presence of hostile neighbours and their overwhelming superiority regarding manpower, the Jewish state must be ahead of its enemies in two aspects: infor- mation and technology. This paper examines how these two areas have been linked in the country’s history so far, and how the State of Israel has been able to maintain its technologi- cal superiority over its enemies due to adequate information and secret service operations.
