Taped recording of Mossad's Latin American station chief, Mike Harari: "Look, a kilo of "product" is about $1,000. We credit the Contras $1,500 for every kilo. That's top dollar for a kilo of cocaine. It's equivalent to the American K-Mart special: "Buy four, get one free." We spend $1,200 for a kilo and sell it for $12,000 to $15,000. Now, that's a profit center. It's just good business sense, understand?"

Two U.S. presidents are implicated in the well documented chronicles and confessions of ex-CIA black-ops assassin, Gene "Chip" Tatum, whose tortured body was found in 2007 on a beach in Panama.

The following video was made by Ted Gunderson, a retired FBI Senior Special Agent, who spent many hours interviewing Tatum on video tape, before he, Tatum was assassinated.    It presents some of the most provocative insider information and evidence of presidential crime you will ever see.    In early 2007, probably as a result of Tatum's release of the documents shown in this video, his tortured and faceless body was found washed up on a beach in Panama.  (Click here to watch the video.)

Chip Tatum should have known he was signing his death warrant when he spoke out on camera and showed the documents presented in this video, many of which he reads from, verbatim, in the video.   All of the original documents are being held by a high-level government official in Central America who said he will turn them over to any international investigative agency that can assure him that they will appropriately be used to prosecute the high-level crimes that have been committed against the people of both Central America and North America.

This is a truly astounding video that exposes lots of evidence of high-level government wrongdoing (including plenty presidential wrongdoing), which the power elite would have preferred remain secret.

If you want to peruse Tatum's entire report in PDF format, including the supporting documentation that got him killed, here  it is.   

Here's one excerpt from this riveting report:

"When I arrived at the embassy, I was introduced to three people:   George H.W. Bush associate, William Barr  (eventually appointed as daddy Bush's attorney general);   Mossad's Latin American station chief Mike Harari;   and Bill Clinton's head of security, Buddy Young."  

Prefatory note:   According to Wikipedia, Harari retired after his service in Central America.  He returned to Israel just before or during the 1989 United States invasion of Panama, which deposed Noriega and installed the presidential victor, Guillermo Endara.   Harari later appeared on Israeli television and denied that he was ever a close adviser of Noriega.   (Click here for source article.)

By the mid-1980s, Arkansas was a crucial link in the contra war against Nicaragua that was secretly being masterminded from Washington.   One scheme for helping to maintain the cover-up for Oliver North's network was, it appears, planned in the Governor's mansion occupied by Bill Clinton.  

Among the occupants of that same mansion was Buddy Young, a man then, as later, in charge of Clinton's security.   (BTW, Young was later appointed as a regional director for FEMA.)   According to court documents filed by Terry Reed, a former CIA asset involved in North's contra supply effort, Young was a pivotal figure in a case designed to land Reed in prison not long after Reed had walked out of an arms-for-drugs operation in Guadalajara, Mexico, where he had been working with CIA man, Felix Rodriguez.  

Arkansas' role in the contra war and in an arms-for-drugs supply network goes back to the early 1980s and the airport at Mena, Arkansas.   A federal investigation aided by the Arkansas State Police established that Barry Seal, a drug dealer working for the Medellin cartel, as well as with the ClA and the DEA, had his planes retrofitted at Mena for drug drops, trained pilots there, and laundered his profits partly through financial institutions in Arkansas.   Seal, at this time, was in close contact with North, who acknowledged the relationship in his memoir.   These were the years in which North was constructing his covert supply lines of drugs and guns for the contras.   (Click here for source article.)

Tatum continues:

"I had met Mr. Young one year previously in Little Rock, Arkansas.   Mr. Barr represented himself as an emissary of Vice President Bush, who would be arriving in the future.   This was an advance party designed to set up meetings for Vice President Bush.   We joined the cocktail party and then accommodations were arranged at a local hotel.   I was then asked to join Mr. Barr, Mr. Young, and Mr. Harari at a local German restaurant.   I was picked up by the embassy car.   Major Felix Rodriguez was in the car when I entered.   We met the others for dinner and continued the meeting at the hotel.   I was told that Mr. Young and Mr. Harari would fly back to Palmerola with me in the morning.   We departed the following morning, 16 March, 1985.

The following conversation took place between Messrs. Harari and Young during the flight to Palmerola Air Base.   The passengers were wearing headsets and speaking over the aircraft intercom system due to the high noise level in the helicopter.   As the command pilot, I routinely monitor all conversations on our intercom.   I did not advise our passengers that I was listening, or that I was recording the conversation.

Buddy Young:   "Arkansas has the capability to manufacture anything in the area of weapons, and if we don't have it we'll get it!"

Mike Harari:   "How about government controls?"

Buddy:   "The Governor's on top of it, and if the feds get nosey, we hear about it and make a call.   Then they're called off."   He was looking around the countryside and continued, "Why the hell would anyone want to fight for a sh*t-hole like this?"

Mike:   Shaking his head in awe, answered, "What we do has nothing to do with preserving a country's integrity -- it's just business, and third world countries see their destiny as defeating borders and expanding.   The more of this mentality we can produce, the greater our wealth.   We train and we arm -- that's our job.   And, in return, we get a product far more valuable than the money for a gun.   We're paid with "product."   And we credit top dollar for product."

Buddy looked confused.

Mike:   "Look, one gun and 3,000 rounds of ammo is $1,200.   A kilo of "product" is about $1,000.   We credit the Contras $1,500 for every kilo.   That's top dollar for a kilo of cocaine.   It's equivalent to the American K-Mart special: "Buy four, get one free."   On our side, we spend $1,200 for a kilo and sell it for $12,000 to $15,000.   Now, that's a profit center.   And the market is much greater for the product than for weapons.   It's just good business sense, understand?"

Buddy:   "Damn!   So you guys promote wars and revolutions to provide weapons for drugs, and we provide the non-numbered parts to change out and we all win.   Damn that's good!"

Mike:   "It's good when it works.   But someone is -- how do you say? -- has his hand in the coffer."

Buddy:   Responding on the defensive, "Well, we get our ten percent right off the top and that's plenty.   GOFUS can make it go a long way."

Mike:   "Who is GOFUS?"

Buddy:   "Governor Clinton!   That's our pet word for him.   You know they call the President "POTUS' for "President of the United States.' Well, we call Clinton "GOFUS' for "Governor of the United States.'   He thinks he is anyhow.

Mike:   "That's your problem in America.   You have no respect for your elected officials.   They are more powerful than you think, and have ears everywhere.   You should heed my words and be loyal to your leaders.   Especially when speaking to persons like me.   Your remarks indicate a weakness -- something our intelligence analysts look for."

Buddy:   "Aw hell, Mike.   Everybody knows the Clintons want the White House and will do anything to get it.   That's why I'm here instead of someone else.   We know about the cocaine.   Hell, I've picked it up before with Lasater when he was worried about going on Little Rock Air Base to get it."

A new line of conversation ensued.   Harari questioned Young about his knowledge of who the "players' were.   He went down a list.   He started with "The Boss-Clinton.' Here's a list of the players according to Young:

Buddy Young:   "Clinton thinks he's in charge, but he'll only go as far as Casey allows.   Me and my staff -- we keep the lid on things you know -- complaints about night flying --Arkansas people are private folks -- they don't like a lot of commotion, and Mena just isn't the right place for the operation.   It keeps us busy at the shredder -- if you know what I mean.   Dan the Man (Lasater) -- he does magic with the money;   between him and Jack Stevens we don't have to worry a bit.   Then we got Parks.   If there's a problem, he's "the man."   We call him the Archer -- that's the codename that Casey and Colby told us to assign to that position.   Finnis oversees our drop zone.   Nash, he's just the boss's "yes man.'   Personally I think he's a mistake!   Seal and his guys -- I like his attitude:   "And leave the driving to us!" he said, quoting one of Seal's good-ole-boy sayings.

Mike:   "You like Seal?"

Buddy:   "Hell!   He's the only one I trust."  

Mike:   "Do you see much of him?"

Buddy:   "Hell, yeah.   We test drive Clinton's "rides" before we send "em on, ya know?   (He laughed, grinding his hips.)   Say, how much coke do you recon you can make in a week?"

Mike:   "One camp can produce 400 keys (kilos) a week.   The others are about half that.   But that's just our operation here.   We have other sources in various parts of the world.   Why do you ask?"

Buddy:   "What?   Oh, the Governor wanted to know our capacity."

Mike:   "Who else is on the team?"

Buddy:   "Well, hell, I forgot who I told you about."

Mike recited the list from memory.

Buddy:   "Ok, there's the manufacturers -- hell, these two . . ."

And here the tape stopped.

Several years after receiving my M.A. in social science (interdisciplinary studies) I was an instructor at S.F. State University for a year, but then went back to designing automated machinery, and then tech writing, in Silicon Valley. I've always been more interested in political economics and what's going on behind the scenes in politics, than in mechanical engineering, and because of that I've rarely worked more than 8 months a year, devoting much of the rest of the year to reading and writing about that which interests me most.
