09-09-24 More on CIA drug trafficking, based in Venice, Florida, Municipal Airport

The stories, are related to:
- 2006/7 cocaine cargo on CIA airplanes, caught/crashed in Yucatan
- 2001 training of the 9/11 terrorists pilots
- Iran Contra cocaine trafficking
- Decades of failed anti-communist CIA plots, financed by drug trafficking

It is a mash of corruption, apparently going on for decades.  It also appears too convoluted to believe.  However, based on the evidence from Los Angeles County, California, once an Extra-Constitutional Zone is established by federal agencies, it tends to attract the criminal/entrepreneurial types of both the public and private sectors, with full synergy between the criminals and law enforcement.

The evidence shows that such operations expanded particularly during the presidencies of REAGAN and DUBYA.  Such conduct is more likely under presidents who are less grounded in reality, regardless of the political orientation.

According to the FBI’s official story, repeated in the 9/11 Commission Report, the fact that three of the four terrorist pilots at the controls of hijacked airplanes in the 9/11 attack all attended flight school at the Venice Municipal Airport is little more than happenstance.
“In March 2000 Atta emailed 31 different U.S. flight schools on behalf of a small  group of Arab men studying in Germany who, while lacking prior training, were interested in learning to fly in the United States,” states the 9/11 Report.

“While Jarrah quickly settled into flight training at the Florida Flight Training Center in Venice, Florida, Atta and Shehhi had not yet settled on where they would obtain their flight training, and kept searching for a flight school.”

“After visiting the Airman Flight School in Norman Oklahoma (where Zacharias Moussaoui would enroll several months later and where Al Qaeda operative Ihad Ali took lessons in the mid-90’s), Atta and Shehhi started flight instruction at Huffman Aviation in Venice Florida… while Jarrah continued training at Florida Flight Training Center.”

The clear implication is Mohamed Atta, Marwan Al Shehhi, and Ziad Jarrah might just as well have learned to fly at any of 30 other U.S. locations.
It's like suggesting movie classic “Casablanca” could just as easily have been set in Des Moines.

As the current war for control over the Venice Airport amply illustrates, nothing could be further from the truth.
