4T and the CIA in a dark concubinage
With their respective ups and downs and disagreements, the United States international spy agency and, now, the little government of the so-called Fourth Transformation have slept in the same bed.
This is why Mrs. Claudia Sheinbaum first minimized the scandalous drone espionage that the CIA carries out in Mexican airspace and, a day later, already informed by her Secretary of Defense, Ricardo Trevilla , she justified the unilateral measure executed by the Pentagon as “a joint operation.”
A union of convenience that, like any concubinage, attempts to hide itself from society, with hollow phrases filled with patriotic rhetoric such as “we are a free country”, “we are not a colony of any country” and, among others, “we will defend sovereignty”.
Since its foundation after World War II to replace the Office of Strategic Services that operated during the war, the Central Intelligence Agency has always operated in our country, especially during the period known as the Cold War, when Mexico resembled Istanbul in the 1940s due to the presence here of countless Soviet and later Cuban agents.
The CIA even recruited officials and Secretaries of the Interior such as Gustavo Díaz Ordaz and Luis Echeverría Álvarez , who would later rise to the Presidency of the Republic. Not to mention the staff of the Federal Security Directorate, dependent on the Palacete de Bucareli, who in some cases were paid twice: in pesos, but also in dollars.
There were, and quite possibly still are, countless “useful idiots” from all levels of government who have collaborated in U.S. intelligence work. Columnist Manuel Buendía , who was assassinated, among other reasons, for his revelations of the Agency’s activities with U.S. evangelists in Chiapas — some of them agents — and its ties to criminals, gave extensive examples in his journalistic writings.
Of course, there have been breakups in this relationship. But they have been temporary. Then there are the torrid reconciliations.
For example, when AMLO expelled from the country the DEA agents who were operating here –assisting with the CIA and the Navy in the arrest of drug lords like Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán– , the Central Intelligence Agency responded with that famous macaw : the leak of millions of messages and emails from the neglected Secretariat of National Defense, then in charge of Luis Crescencio Sandoval .
In this vein, there were also leaks about cartel financing for the failed electoral campaigns of Andrés Manuel López Obrador in 2006 and 2012, from which arose the nickname, later converted into the everlasting hashtag #NarcoPresidenteAMLO , once again in vogue after Donald Trump reiterated that “especially now” Mexico is governed by drug cartels.
The CIA executed El Kiki Camarena
The CIA in Mexico — the title of the book written by Buendía in which he compiled the activities of the CIA in our country — has not only carried out operations to capture criminals whose extradition is requested by the US government. It has also intervened in drug trafficking, as in the Iran-Contra case to arm those who were then fighting against the Somoza dictatorship in Nicaragua — even for its own internal “grids”.
There is the case of DEA agent Enrique Camarena Salazar , whom the Americans have turned into a kind of martyr in the fight against drugs, although they have conveniently ignored the fact that, in reality, El Kiki — as they nicknamed him — was always involved with various international drug trafficking groups.
Claiming infiltration, his real job was to coordinate drug trafficking groups. For example, he actively participated in the unification of 114 drug trafficking gangs from Mexico, Colombia, Cuba and Peru for the transfer of drugs to the United States carried out by the DEA, the drug administrator for the consumption of the gringos.
Among Kiki ‘s duties was bribing Mexican officials so that they would not interfere with the “work” of the DEA and the drug traffickers supported by the US agency.
But he got too clever and…
Not long ago, it was revealed that a plot was organized at the time by various figures in the international drug trade, such as Juan Ramón Matta Ballesteros , of Honduran origin, and Félix Rodríguez , an anti-Castro Cuban who always worked for the CIA, who together carried out Camarena’s death.
It is already known that Félix Rodríguez — a member of the CIA, it is worth emphasizing — gave the order to Juan Ramón Matta to “pick up” and kill the former DEA agent, Salazar Camarena.
In Hilda Vázquez ’s book , The True Story of Camarena , we read that, contrary to what the DEA says, on February 7, 1985, Enrique Camarena Salazar never arrived at the U.S. consulate in Guadalajara. Since the day before, he had been staying at the Jericó de Zamora hotel, Michoacán, very close to the “El Mareño” ranch, owned by his cronies and protectors Los Bravo , who were later massacred because “they knew too much.”
Caro Quintero and Bartlett Díaz
The “kidnapping” plan, according to the text, was hatched by James Kuykendall , a friend of El Kiki and head of the Guadalajara office, who aspired to be head of the Drug Enforcement Administration in Mexico. For that purpose he needed a martyr and Camarena was ideal: his wife had left him more than six months ago, he had sold his properties the previous year and already wanted to return to the United States.
Had the plan not been implemented, she said, DEA agents would have continued to be subject to the guidelines of the CIA and the FBI. Kuykendall knew the economic potential of drug trafficking in Mexico. He wanted the agency he worked for to have its own budget… and he got it, the author says.
Vázquez points out that the bodies that were made to appear as those of Enrique Camarena and the pilot Alfredo Zavala were not found in the place where the DEA claims they were.
“The bodies and the autopsies are very different from the characteristics of those who disappeared. The forensic reports from Zamora and Guadalajara are different from each other. Camarena has not been identified by any member of the US government, nor by his family. Zavala Avelar has not been recognized by anyone either.”
The book highlights that witnesses to this plot subsequently began to disappear.
The CIA accused drug trafficker Rafael Caro Quintero of being the mastermind behind the crime. It also hinted that the then Minister of the Interior, Manuel Bartlett Díaz , had witnessed the torture and murder.
The person who recently left the general management of the CFE must have had some outstanding debt with Ci-Ay-Ey, as the English speakers pronounce it.
Clues
As if it were a churro stand, bills are coming out and coming out of the National Palace. In the next few days, the Congress of the Union is expected to approve — “without removing a comma,” of course — the Law of the National Public Security System and the Law of the new National System of Investigation and Intelligence in Security that will give Omar García Harfuch ’s troops the possibility of spying not only on criminals, but on all Mexicans!… And this Thursday, Mrs. Sheinbaum announced the submission of a constitutional reform to modify article 40 related to national sovereignty, and another to article 19 of the Constitution that has to do with those crimes that are subject to preventive detention. Article 40 of the Constitution will now mention that interventions, interferences or any other act from abroad that is harmful to the integrity, independence and sovereignty of the nation will not be accepted, such as coups d’état, interference in elections or the violation of Mexican territory, whether by land, water, sea or airspace. Send a copy to Donald Trump , who, if he already ignores the constitutional norms of his country, imagine what he will do with our Magna Carta so untouched by the four-handed gang! * * * That’s all for today. Please accept my gratitude for having read this text. As always, I also wish you good thanks and many, many days!
