....in the past 18 months, but nary a breath of it in the press? Why? Because they went down in Mexico?
Or is there a media blackout to prevent an investigation and perhaps a SCANDAL involving American officials?
Is THIS what "free trade" is all about?

Implicated is Mexico’s Attorney General, Pedro Alfonso Alatorre, indicted as the cartel’s chief financier, who purchased both downed planes and 48 others for Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel with laundered drug money, using a company he controls which owns currency exchanges at major airports in Mexico. One of the two planes had been registered with Huffman Aviation in Venice Florida, that fateful flight school that trained Mohammed Atta. The second plane belonged to Stephen Adams who helped fund GWB's 2000 campaign by buying a million dollars worth of billboards for George W. Bush (a nice tax write off, I'm sure).

>"The DC9 and the Gulfstream II, the two American jets now known to be part of a 50-plane sale, share "interlocking ownership". The stock of two corporations which owned the planes was used in the massive recent Adnan Khashoggi-led stock fraud. Khashoggi engineered the biggest brokerage bankruptcy in America since the Great Depression, costing investors and taxpayers over $300 million."
Also:
>"Stephen Adams, a secretive Midwestern media baron and Republican fund-raiser, owned the Gulfstream II at the same time he was personally purchasing one million dollars of billboard advertising for George W. Bush during the 2000 Presidential Campaign. Adams was also in business, in two separate companies, with Michael Farkas, the man who founded SkyWay Aircraft, which owned the DC9. Both men control companies used in Adnan Khashoggi’s $300 million stock fraud rip-off. "

Nice touch. The planes flew with official American Skyway aircraft insignia, similiar to the Homeland Security detail.
The planes say “SkyWay Aircraft: Protection of America’s Skies.”
OR: "PILOTS FLY THE PLANE SKYWAY PROTECTS IT"

Really?

Now I don't know about you but I think our national security has been severely compromised by the cream de la cream of the American drug lords. They sold another 48 planes to the Mexican Attorney General. Now, just WHO do you think he's protecting? You'd THINK the FBI would be on this like flies to a pantload. Maybe even be ALL OVER CNN and the American media. But no.........if two planes went down with 10 tons of cocaine, can you imagine how much 50 planes could transport?? Without even going down?
I think we have here the beginning of a very dirty and worldwide drug ring, financed under the protection of our very own CIA.
Seriously, national security is good for <business.>
