German Intelligence, The National Socialist Union and 9/11

Two inves­ti­ga­tions may well dove­tail. We’ve cov­ered the 9/11 attacks for years, begin­ning with analy­sis well before the events them­selves. We note, also, our recent posts about the intelligence-linked National Social­ist Union neo-Nazi group in Ger­many. Ger­many Watch has pre­sented a work­ing hypoth­e­sis that NSU’s mur­ders were covering-up oper­a­tional ele­ments in the attacks.


Roberto Calvi Linked to Pablo Escobar

It is now rel­a­tively well known that the late Pablo Esco­bar and the asso­ci­ated Medellin Car­tel were heav­ily involved with the Iran-Contra cocaine traf­fic of the 1980’s. Press accounts have now sur­faced in Italy and the UK about Esco­bar hav­ing banked some of his pro­ceeds with Roberto Calvi’s Banco Ambrosiano.

(Like Calvi, Sin­dona was a mem­ber of the Licio Gelli’s P-2 Lodge.)

FTR #43 The Pope Shooting: Stibam

Lis­ten now: One Seg­ment The Stibam arms-for-drugs ring was one of the most impor­tant and least pub­li­cized ele­ments of U.S. and NATO covert oper­a­tions in the 1970s and 1980s. This pro­gram dis­cusses con­nec­tions between this operation’s drug busi­ness and the milieu of the fas­cist Grey Wolves, some of whose mem­bers shot the pope in May [...]
