The US Air Force recently airlifted nearly 24 tons of
cocaine from Costa Rica to Miami, the cocaine capital of the world, in a
program described as being “shrouded in secrecy”.

According to the Costa Rica Star,
a Boeing C-17 Globemaster III out of Dover Air Force Base landed at the
Daniel Oduber Quiros International Airport (LIR) on Saturday July 27,
loaded almost 24 tons of cocaine in pallets and then set off for its
ultimate destination of Miami, but not before stopping in Nicaragua and
Honduras.
The US Air Force agreed to transport the cocaine after a
successful Costa Rican program that was destroying 300 kilos of the
drug an hour had to be suspended because of a broken incinerator.
Following the airlift, Costa Rica’s Organization of
Judicial Investigations said they would no longer authorize the
transportation of cocaine to Miami and would go back to stockpiling the
drug in secure warehouses.
The report cites another newspaper article which
detailed how, “two magistrates at the Judicial Branch were in the dark
about the U.S. Air Force arriving in Costa Rica to pick up a massive
amount of cocaine,” noting that no proof of permission for the US
aircraft to enter Costa Rican airspace was ever seen by legislators at
the Costa Rican National Assembly. The exact identity of the Globemaster
was also kept secret until further enquiry revealed it to be the
“Spirit of Delaware.”
When the plane arrived, the Costa Rican consulate in
Miami was supposed to confirm the delivery and destruction of the
cocaine, but no such advisory has been forthcoming, although the
Organization of Judicial Investigations claims the drugs were destroyed.
The US Air Force’s involvement in transporting cocaine
is sure to raise eyebrows given the CIA’s previous alleged involvement
in cocaine trafficking. The fact that the aircraft stopped off in
Nicaragua is also noteworthy given the history of the CIA smuggling cocaine into America to fund the Contras in Nicaragua during the Reagan administration.
In April 2011, Jesus Vicente Zambada Niebla, the
“logistical coordinator” for the Sinaloa drug-trafficking gang that was
responsible for purchasing the CIA “rendition” jet that crashed with four tons on cocaine on board back
in 2007 told the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
Illinois in Chicago that he had been working as a U.S. government asset
for years.
According to court transcripts,
Niebla was allowed to import “multi-ton quantities of cocaine” into the
U.S. as a result of his working relationship with the FBI, Homeland
Security, the U.S. Department of Justice and the Drug Enforcement
Administration.
Niebla’s assertion that he smuggled drugs from Mexico
into the United States while working for the U.S. government adds
further weight to the already voluminous body of evidence that
confirms the CIA and U.S. banking giants are the top players in a
global drug trade worth hundreds of billions of dollars a year.
Such revelations were brought to light primarily by Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Gary Webb’s “Dark Alliance” series of investigative reports written for the San Jose Mercury News and subsequently published as a book.
According to authorities, Webb committed suicide in 2004 despite the fact that he was found with two gunshot wounds to the head and after Webb himself had complained of death threats and “government people” stalking his home.
