The “limited hangout'' used by the media and the Spooks to explain Barry Seal’s death was... Barry Seal was killed for snitching on the Cartel.

That of course was a lie...

In reality, his involvement with the Spooks and the Mena Airport needed to be kept secret.

That secret didn’t stay hidden for long….

Barry Seal purposely left behind a lot of documentation, which was uncovered by two Washington Post reporters…SALLY DENTON AND ROGER MORRIS.

Eventually Sally and Roger worked through the documents and were able to piece together what had happened with Barry Seal.

The story they put together was called, “The Crimes of Mena.”

The Washington Post cleared the story for publication… but as what always happens with any story involving the Spooks… the story was squashed...in this case by the Managing Editor of the Washington Post, BOB KAISER.

Bob Kaiser just happened to be a Skull & Bones alumni member with President Bush.

Not to be silenced over a scandal that touched three US Presidents (Regan, Bush Sr, and Clinton), Sally Denton and Roger Morris tried desperately to get someone in the media to pick up their story.

They were rejected at every turn...

Finally, they found someone to air their story… "Penthouse" Magazine printed their story in July of 1995… almost ten years after Barry Seal's assassination.

Meanwhile, on October 5, 1986, a Nicaraguan Sandinista shot down one of the C*I*A’s weapon/cocaine planes...killing three of the four on board.

The single survivor was:
EUGENE HASENFUS.
He was captured.

After the survivor confirmed that the plane had been smuggling illegal and untraceable guns to the Contras, the scandal that would be called the “Iran-Contra Affair” exploded into public view.

Shortly afterwards, President Reagan announced the formation of the TOWER COMMISSION, to investigate the scandal.

In actuality, as was the case with the Warren Commission’s investigation into JFK’s assassination… the Tower Commission was really set up to halt all other investigations into this scandal.

By taking possession of all the evidence…((they)) were able to control the narrative AND the outcome.

The final report by the Tower Commission was delivered to President Reagan on February 26, 1987. It was a classic “Limited Hangout''...the Clowns admitted to the gun smuggling, but concealed the fact that the operation was really a cocaine smuggling operation to benefit the Clintons.

Additionally…what they also failed to mention...the gun and drug operation continued…

I will pick this story back up on Tuesday, where you will see how the Clinton's fingerprints were all over this story…

Picking up where we left off on Sunday…
The Whitewater Land Development deal was part of a much larger network of illegal activity that had been operating in Arkansas under then-governor Bill Clinton.

(Just as a reminder...under normal circumstances everything I post in the DEEP DIVES channel is also posted in the Deep Dives Chat. So as not to send duplicate posts of my long presentations to the chat group, I unlink the channel from the chat temporarily, until I’m finished posting. Then I re-link the channel back to the chat).

Arkansas was the north end of a convoluted pipeline that was smuggling guns down to the Nicaraguan Contras.

This gun-running operation was operated by the C*I*A and some private individuals. Because the program was illegal, the CIA needed a funding source to pay for the manufacture and transport of untraceable weapons, and that's when they turned to cocaine smuggling as a means to fund the clandestine operation.

The last thing I mentioned on Sunday was that despite the very public Iran-Contra affair that aired on television, the Mena weapons-cocaine operation continued…

On August 23, 1987, just months after the Iran-Contra scandal had started to fade, two boys (Kevin Ives and Don Henry), who were out deer hunting accidentally witnessed an airdrop from an aircraft flying into the Mena Airport…which as we’ve learned, was a key hub for the gun and drug running operation.

The boys' bodies were found on a train track.

The official verdict by Governor Bill Clinton’s appointed Medical Examiner, Fahmy Malek, was that the boys had passed out while smoking marijuana on the tracks, and had been run over by a train.

This ran contrary to what the train engineer saw, and what the mothers’ of the boys had claimed…that their sons didn’t smoke marijuana, nor would they be that stupid to do so near train tracks.

Eventually a local Grand Jury began an investigation and ordered the bodies exhumed and examined by another expert. That expert concluded that the boys had been beaten with a rifle, and were dead before being placed on the tracks.

Public outcry over Fahmy Malek's apparent incompetence forced Governor Bill Clinton to call in two more pathologists (a ruse of course) from outside Arkansas to review the case. But when the Saline County Grand Jury tried to subpoena the pathologists, Bill Clinton blocked it.

The furor over the obvious murder and cover-up triggered a flood of new people coming forward with stories about the drug operation in and out of Mena, and of other strange deaths.

In 1990, Jean Duffey headed a drug task force in the area and began to piece together evidence connecting narcotics, strange deaths, local bankers, and government officials.

As a result of her findings, she was harassed, threatened, and eventually forced to leave the state.

Who was behind this? I think we know.

Sunday we talked about the money laundering that was done with the cash from the sale of all the cocaine that was being funneled through the Mena airport.

The Clinton’s owned large sums of property in the Whitewater land development… and it was this land development coupled with the Savings and Loan bank of their friend, Jim McDougal…that provided the means for the money laundering.

But in March 1992, as Bill Clinton cranked up his run at the White House, a New York Times story about how the Clintons lost money on the Whitewater Development Corporation caught the eye of L. Jean Lewis, an investigator at the Resolution Trust Corporation.

The name “Whitewater” had been connected to the collapse of Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan (the McDougal Bank), which Lewis was also investigating.

Lewis had found numerous questionable financial transactions in the very tangled web that existed between the Clinton’s and Madison Savings & Loan owner...James McDougal.

Lewis found sufficient evidence to file a criminal complaint with the FBI. As one would expect…Both the FBi and the U.S. Attorney's Office in Little Rock ignored the referral and declared it "without merit". This stalled the Whitewater Scandal until after Bill Clinton became President.

As more referrals for criminal activity (during Bill Clinton's governorship) started to pour in, prosecutions began against numerous Clinton associates…but NEVER the Clintons themselves.

James and Susan McDougal were prosecuted for their role in the Whitewater project. Susan McDougal served 18 months in prison for contempt of court. Bill Clinton pardoned her before he left office. Bill Clinton's successor as governor, Jim Guy Tucker, was convicted and served time in prison for his role in the fraud as well.

Then came another unexplained death…

On July 20, 1993, the body of White House Deputy Counsel… Vincent Foster…was found at Fort Marcy Park, Virginia…just outside Washington DC.

His death was ruled a suicide, even though there was ample evidence to show otherwise…
