The CIA Double-Dip: Drugs, Fraud, & the JFK Assassination
August 19, 2014
by Daniel Hopsicker
A six-year long investigation into the drug trafficking operation in St Petersburg Florida responsible for American-registered planes busted in 2006 and 2007 in the Yucatan carrying a cumulative total of 10 tons of cocaine uncovered incontrovertible, if unsurprising, proof of involvement by the Mob (in this case, the Chicago Outfit) Texas oil interests, and, of course, the CIA.
A disquieting discovery
But unearthing new evidence of the CIA’s role in the drug trade for the past 50 years no longer provides much grist for the gossip mill. Time marches on. Gary Webb was right. And everybody knows it.
It’s a sign of the times that where once there was outrage over charges of CIA involvement in drug trafficking, today many seem glad to see the Agency developing outside interests that don’t require access to a dungeon.
What is eye-opening however is the disquieting discovery that those involved in the enterprise, like Adnan Khashoggi and his lieutenant Ramy El-Batrawi, both of whom have long histories in past CIA operations, also used their ability to operate with impunity—their get out of jail free card—to act like the worst sort of double-dealing flimflam men, bunco artists and grifters.
r-k (1)They were doing the CIA “double-dip.” Keeping one eye on incoming flights at St Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport for news of a drug plane’s safe return to Florida, and one eye on the fine print in SEC filings.
Khashoggi and El-Batrawi used a slick financial stock scheme to game the system, and plunder hundreds of millions of dollars from investors and taxpayers in what became known as Stockwalk, which led to what was then (2004-2005) the largest brokerage bankruptcy since the Great Depression.
Khashoggi and El-Batrawi participated in the wide-spread looting of the American economy. But they were far from acting alone.
