During the
Vietnam War, together with the Soviets and the Chinese, Fidel Castro was
financing the communist gangs of Black Panther, who were revolting against the
American government, demanding a US withdrawal from the Vietnam War.
They were also demanding that black Americans did not serve in the American
army.
In the end
the United States
had to abandon their allies, and the Communists of Vietnam, who were supported
by the Soviets and the Chinese, won the war. Fidel and the communist gangs of
Black Panthers played a crucial role in defeating the United States .
Image Black
Panthers
Today it is
not the Communists of Black Panthers attacking American people, but it is
instead its off-spring, the Communist terrorists of Black Lives Matter.
Image
I guess
that both the Black Panthers and the Black Lives Matters are not simply
supported by Fidel, but they must have also been important parts of his drug
network.
Barack
Hussein Obama, a leftist black Muslim, or at least the son of Shiite Muslim
from Kenya, whom the American people chose as their president, says that racism
is on the DNA of American people, and he is travelling from country to country
apologizing for the United States, like if everything that goes wrong on this
world is the fault of the United States.
Barack
Hussein Obama abolished the economic sanctions against Iran and Cuba ,
and also pushed for a legalization of the FARC Communist narcoterrorists in Columbia . Note that in the
end the peace between the Colombian government and the Communist
narcoterrorists of FARC was rejected by the Colombian people.
Barack
Hussein Obama did that even though he new that Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia,
Nicaragua, Hezbollah and FARC, would now find it much easier to smuggle cocaine
in the United States, in order to finance their terrorist organizations like
the Black Lives Matter who are killing American policemen, and who are now
trying to overturn the legally elected President Donald Trump.
The
Communists who are trying to overturn Donald Trump are also financed by the
Arabs of the Gulf i.e. Qatar ,
Saudi Arabia etc, who were hopping for the election of Hilary Clinton in order
to push for the Qatar-Turkey Pipeline. Actually they preferred the leftist
Jewish Bernie Sanders who has promised them, as the also did to the dictators of
Latin America, to forbid fracking in the United States . That would also make
the lobby of green energy very happy and would earn Bernie a few dollars. See
Reuters “Billionaire green activist Steyer not ready to back Clinton , open to Sanders”, January 2016.
Many other
billionaires have invested billions in the green energy sector too i.e. George
Soros, Bill Gats, Marc Zuckerberg etc.
Donald
Trump has pledged to make life easier for American coal and oil producers, and
as soon as he was elected the shares of the coal producers sky rocketed, while
the shares of green companies lost their value. See Washington Post “Trump
victory batters solar and wind stocks, bolsters coal shares”, November 2016.
So the
anti-Trump protests are financed by so many sources i.e. FARC, Cuba , Venezuela ,
Bolivia , Nicaragua , Qatar ,
Saudi Arabia , the American
lobby of green energy, and by Americans who have their companies in China , in the Persian Gulf ,
in Mexico etc.

John
Jairo Velásquez Vásquez, working as one of Pablo Escobar’s top hit men, killed
at least 300 people and was implicated in the deaths of 3,000 more.
Velásquez,
aka Popeye, was a key functionary in Escobar’s Medellin cartel. And, as he claimed in an
interview earlier this month, his duties extended to meeting with Latin
American luminaries and national leaders on behalf of the cartel.
Speaking
with Puerto Rico ’s Wapa TV, Popeye said that he hand-delivered letters from
Escobar to Colombian literary icon Gabriel Garcia Marquez, who then passed the
letters on to Fidel and Raul Castro.

The
world’ greatest businessmen never rest after gaining success. On the contrary,
they refuse to rest on their laurels and work even harder. Pablo Escobar
belonged to this breed. He was always scheming new ways of expanding his
network. If one of his trading routes was eliminated, Pablo had two more routes
as a backup.
While
in Nicaragua ,
Pablo thought it convenient to approach Fidel Castro. Cuba was a strategic trading point, since it had
severed its ties to the U.S.
Also, Cuba was close to Miami , one of the cartel’s
biggest markets. One of Pablo’s connections in Miami was a drug lord named Jorge Avendano
“The Crocodile”. The Crocodile had partied along the flamboyant Ochoa brothers
at their wild Miami
orgies. The Ochoas had mingled with the crème de la crème of Miami and knew some
influential Cuban-Americans. This is how, through a third party, they were able
to reach Fidel Castro.
Pablo
ordered The Crocodile to relay a business proposition to Fidel. Fidel, busy
with his own work, delegated the job to his brother Raul. It was through the
intervention of Raul, that Escobar made a deal with Fidel. The Crocodile
traveled to Havana
to seal the agreement.
The
Drug cargo would sail in various ships from the Buenaventura
port in Colombia .
The ships would reach Mexico
ports and the cargo (approx 26,455 pounds per shipment) would be transported to
a Mexican airport. Mexican planes would fly to Cuba and unload the cargo in the
island’s coasts. Fidel assigned two of his closest associates for the job:
Cuban general Arnaldo Ochoa and colonel Tony La Guardia.
As
part of the deal, Cuban soldiers would take the cocaine in small boats to Miami . The cargo would be
delivered to one of Pablo’s drug lords, a man known as “Mugre” (The Dirt).
Mugre hid the cocaine in the mansions of the Ochoas, in the luxurious
neighborhoods of Kendall, Boca Raton
and Cayo Hueso. Fidel Castro made around 3,000 dollars for every cocaine pound Cuba
delivered. Jorge Avendano stayed in Cuba to make the payments.
Pablo
Escobar said that it had been a pleasure to work with Castro. Due to Castro’s
great work ethic, Escobar made lots of money. Fidel Castro and Escobar had
never seen each other. But they regularly wrote letters which were delivered by
“special emissaries”. The Colombian Nobel laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez was
one of them. Garcia Marquez and Fidel Castro had a close friendship. In one
occasion, Escobar sent Popeye to Mexico (where the writer lived) so
that he could give Garcia Marquez a letter for Fidel Castro.

Billionaire environmental activist Tom Steyer said he is not
ready to endorse Hillary Clinton, and he would be open to supporting her main
rival, Bernie Sanders, if he becomes the Democratic nominee for president.
One of the biggest Democratic donors, Steyer could help Clinton boost her standing
among environmentalist activists who are a key constituency within the
Democratic Party. Clinton is locked in tight
races with Sanders in Iowa and New Hampshire , which
both have early nominating contests.
"Our real goal has been not to support any one
candidate, but to emphasize and highlight the issue (of climate change) so that
the candidates can lay out their solutions and so the American people can have
a chance to make a decision," Steyer said in a telephone interview on
Tuesday.
“Tom Steyer
: Keystone Pipeline”
Keystone Pipeline
After holding several conversations in the summer of 2012
with environmental writer Bill McKibben, Steyer
decided to focus much of his attention on the Keystone Pipeline. That October,
Steyer officially left Farallon. He was criticized by some Republicans for
attacking the pipeline even though he himself held some investments in the
fossil-fuel industry, including stock in Kinder Morgan, which had its own
pipeline connecting the Canadian tar sands to a port on the Pacific, which
could be seen as a rival to the Keystone pipeline. Steyer promised to fully
unload his holdings there within a year.[44] In September 2013, Steyer appeared in a
series of commercials in opposition to the proposed pipeline.[44]
In a November 2015 interview, Steyer described the Obama
administration's decision to reject the Keystone pipeline as “fantastic.”[74]

The
newspaper reports that the Shiite trainees fly to Caracas
via Damascus ,
probably on the Venezuelan airline Conviasa, which covers the
Caracas-Damascus-Tehran route. The weekly Conviasa's flights to Tehran are a cause for concern in Washington , due to the lack of transparency
about what or whom they might be transporting.. The Kuwaiti paper mentions as
well the trainees' presence in Colombia .
The Iranian government allegedly enjoys in Latin America the support of the
Revolutionary Armed Forces of the Colombian group, the FARC, which derives its
primary source of income from drug trafficking. It is not a coincidence,
therefore, that Al-Seyassah mentions that Iran finances its militias through
narco-trafficking.

a highly effective human intelligence network. The type of espionage carried
out by Ana Belén Montes, the senior U.S.

“The New, Improved
Axis of Jihad”, May 2013
2, 3 , 4 ,
5
Indicators
and warnings continue to grow concerning the resurgence of an "Axis of
Jihad" comprised of Iran ,
Hizballah, and al-Qa'eda. This axis is not new: its three actors, both national
and sub-national, have been working together in an operational terror alliance
for over two decades. Still, so many seem unaware not just of this alliance,
but of the ideological bonds that brought them together in Khartoum, Sudan, in
the early 1990s and have kept them together to the current day. The bond is as
old as Islam, and includes the commitment to jihad [war in the name of Islam]
and Islamic Shariah law; the threat is to all free and democratic societies
which stand in the way of global Islamic government and the forcible
application of Islamic Shariah Law.
This
modern-day Axis of Jihad was formed in the Sudan under the aegis of the
Muslim Brotherhood regime of Omar al-Bashir and his sometime political ally,
National Congress Party chairman Hassan al-Turabi. Al-Qa'eda as such had not
yet taken its current form, but after the end of the 1980s Afghan war against
the Soviet Union, Usama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri had found safe haven in
the Sudan .
Al-Bashir and Turabi are pan-Islamists, meaning they see the world in terms of
the Dar al-Islam (House of Islam, where Shariah is enforced) versus
the Dar al-Harb (everywhere that is not under Islamic Law). Such a
worldview chooses to disregard the ancient intra-Islamic schism between Sunni
and Shi'a and instead to unify the entire Islamic world in jihad against the
"infidel."
So
it was that al-Bashir and Turabi invited the Iranian regime leadership and its Hizballah
terror proxies to Khartoum
in late 1990 to meet with the future leadership of al-Qa'eda. Then-Iranian
president (and once again a 2013 candidate for the office) Ali Akbar Hashemi
Rafsanjani, intelligence director Ali Fallahian, Islamic Revolutionary Guard
Corps (IRGC) commander Mohsen Reza'i and other top Iranian leadership figures
accepted al-Bashir's invitation and traveled to Khartoum, along with Islamic
jihadis from around the region.
There,
and in subsequent meetings that took place in Khartoum
throughout the early 1990s, the alliance was formed among Iran , Hizballah, and what soon
would be known as al-Qa'eda. Usama bin Laden was especially interested in
the explosives expertise coupled
with a "martyrdom" mentality he had seen demonstrated by Hizballah
with such deadly effect against Western targets. It was arranged that Imad Mughniyeh, Hizballah's top terror operative,
would commit to training Usama bin Laden's growing cadre of terrorists in
explosives techniques, especially those involving suicide truck bombings that
could bring down large buildings. Training camps were set up in Sudan , Lebanon , and elsewhere where
al-Qa'eda's would-be shahid recruits could learn this craft. The
attacks at Khobar Towers , the U.S. East Africa Embassies in Dar
Es-Salaam and Nairobi ,
against the USS Cole, and eventually the 9/11 attacks themselves were all the
result of this terror alliance.
17, 18, 19
The Tri-Border region of
South America, where the borders of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay met, served
as an early hub of terror operations from the 1980s onward for the Iranian
Embassy in Buenos Aires and Hizballah, which jointly directed the 1992 and 1994
terror attacks against the Israeli Embassy and Jewish Cultural Center,
respectively, from this lawless area. Since 2005,Iran's operational base in Venezuela has
become the nexus for its operations across the Western Hemisphere, including
South, Central, and North America . Diplomatic
relationships with Venezuela
and other Latin American regimes hostile to the U.S. ,
such as Bolivia , Ecuador , and Nicaragua
also provide Iran
with a means of evading international isolation and sanctions, obtaining a
ready source of fraudulent travel documents, and laundering money.
Hizballah's
operations in the Western Hemisphere, including inside the U.S. and Canada, are
noted with special concern by U.S. officials: former Secretary of Homeland
Security Michael Chertoff remarked that Hizballah made al-Qa'eda "look like a minor league team," while former
Assistant Secretary of State Richard Armitage has called Hizballah the "A team" and
al-Qa'eda the "B team." Masters of clandestine intelligence
tradecraft, as well as among the most highly trained and
ideologically-committed special operations forces anywhere, Hizballah (which is
trained by the Iranians) expends considerable effort establishing cell networks across
the Americas .
These cells are assigned to pre-attack casing and surveillance; fundraising via
a variety of scams like cigarette smuggling as well as narcotrafficking; and
operational planning for terror attacks. Former U.S. Ambassador Roger Noriega testifies
regularly for Congress to detail Hizballah's collaboration with
narcotraffickers and guerrilla groups (such as the FARC -- Fuerzas Armadas
Revolucionarias de Colombia) whose drug-running and terror training activities
are becoming ever more complex, dangerous, and threatening to U.S. national
security, as well as that of friends and allies throughout the hemisphere.

For
all its talk of being a street uprising, Black Lives Matter is increasingly
awash in cash, raking in pledges of more than $100 million from liberal foundations
and others eager to contribute to what has become the grant-making cause du
jour.
The
Ford Foundation and Borealis Philanthropy recently announced the formation of
the Black-Led Movement Fund [BLMF], a six-year pooled
donor campaign aimed at raising $100 million for the Movement for Black Lives
coalition.
That
funding comes in addition to more than $33 million in grants to the Black Lives
Matter movement from top Democratic Party donor George Soros through his Open Society Foundations,
as well as grant-making from the Center for American Progress.
“The
BLMF provides grants, movement building resources, and technical assistance to
organizations working advance the leadership and vision of young, Black, queer,
feminists and immigrant leaders who are shaping and leading a national
conversation about criminalization, policing and race in America,” said the
Borealis announcement.
In
doing so, however, the foundations have aligned themselves with the staunch
left-wing platform of the Movement for Black Lives, which unveiled a policy
agenda shortly after the fund was announced accusing Israel of being an “apartheid
state” guilty of “genocide.”
Released
Aug. 1, the platform also calls for defunding police departments,

Views on
antisemitism
On
November 5, 2003, at a Jewish forum in New York City ,
Soros partially attributed a recent resurgence of antisemitism to the policies of Israel and the United States , and the role of
wealthy and influential individuals:
There
is a resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe .
The policies of the Bush administration and the Sharon administration contribute to that. It's not
specifically anti-Semitism, but it does manifest itself in anti-Semitism as
well. I'm critical of those policies... If we change that direction, then
anti-Semitism also will diminish. I can't see how one could confront it
directly... I'm also very concerned about my own role because the new
anti-Semitism holds that the Jews rule the world... As an unintended
consequence of my actions... I also contribute to that image.[124]
In
a subsequent article for The New York
Review of Books, Soros emphasized that
I
do not subscribe to the myths propagated by enemies of Israel and I am not blaming Jews
for anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism predates the birth of Israel . Neither Israel 's policies nor the critics
of those policies should be held responsible for anti-Semitism. At the same
time, I do believe that attitudes toward Israel
are influenced by Israel 's
policies, and attitudes toward the Jewish community are influenced by the pro-Israel
lobby's success in suppressing divergent views.[125]
Soros
has come under criticism in relation to antisemitism, for his funding of - what
in the view of some commentators are - anti-Israel groups and anti-Israel
activism.[126][127] including a number of groups that campaign
for the Boycott,
Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel .[128]
NGO monitor argues that Soros is part of the
movement to delegitimize Israel ,
claiming:
The
evidence demonstrates that Open Society funding contributes significantly to
anti-Israel campaigns in three important respects: 1. Active in the “Durban
strategy;” 2. Funding aimed at weakening U.S.support for Israel by shifting public opinion regarding the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Iran ; 3. Funding for Israeli
political opposition groups on the fringes of Israeli society, which use the
rhetoric of human rights to advocate for marginal political goals.[129]

Lee
Harvey Oswald (October 18, 1939 – November 24, 1963) was an American sniper who assassinated President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963.
According to five U.S. government investigations,[n 1] Oswald shot and killed Kennedy as he
traveled by motorcade through Dealey Plaza in the city of Dallas, Texas.
Oswald
was a former U.S. Marine who
defected to the Soviet Union in
October 1959. He lived in the Belarusian city
of Minsk until June 1962, at which time he
returned to the United States
with Marina, his
Russian wife, eventually settling in Dallas .

Former Vice President Al Gore
thought he had spotted a winner last year when a small California firm sought
financing for an energy-saving technology from the venture
capital firm where Mr. Gore is a partner.
The company, Silver Spring
Networks, produces hardware and software to make the electricity
grid more efficient. It came to Mr. Gore’s firm, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, one of Silicon Valley ’s top venture capital providers, looking
for $75 million to expand its partnerships with utilities seeking to install
millions of so-called smart meters in homes and businesses.
Mr. Gore and his partners
decided to back the company, and in gratitude Silver Spring
retained him and John Doerr, another Kleiner Perkins partner, as unpaid
corporate advisers.
The deal appeared to pay
off in a big way last week, when the Energy Department announced $3.4 billion
in smart grid
grants. Of the total, more than $560 million went to utilities with
which Silver Spring has contracts. Kleiner
Perkins and its partners, including Mr. Gore, could recoup their investment
many times over in coming years.
Silver Spring Networks is a
foot soldier in the global green energy revolution Mr. Gore hopes to lead. Few
people have been as vocal about the urgency of global
warming and the need to reinvent the way the world produces and
consumes energy. And few have put as much money behind their advocacy as Mr.
Gore and are as well positioned to profit from this green transformation, if
and when it comes.
