Hilliard Surfaces in CIA Drug-Plane Scandal

Antifascist Calling...

You knew it would eventually come to this.

In another blockbuster piece posted today on the MadCowMorningNews, investigative journalist Daniel Hopsicker "connects the dots" and ties a drug-linked pilot to to Wally J. Hilliard's terror flight school.

Hopsicker writes,

New revelations in the broadening scandal kicked off by two CIA and Dept. of Homeland Security-linked airplanes busted in Mexico with multi-ton loads of cocaine point to a level of criminality and turpitude well beyond the corruption at U.S. Customs in South Florida to which officials have already admitted.

A central figure in the Customs corruption probe is Guyanese pilot Michael Francis Brassington, the MadCowMorningNews has learned, a name familiar to readers who have followed the unfolding and still largely untold story of the activities and associates of the terrorist hijackers while in Florida...

But wait, there's more!

Michael Brassington was the co-pilot on a drug running Lear jet (N351WB) caught by DEA agents at Orlando Executive Airport in July of 2000 carrying 43 pounds of heroin.

That is to say, Wally Hilliard's Lear jet.

According to Hopsicker, Brassington is "under suspicion" by authorities for his role in "trafficking drugs, passports, people, currency, and diamonds" through airports in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida with the assistance of corrupt officials in U.S. Customs and the FAA.

The link to Hilliard was provided to Hopsicker by an alert Customs' inspector (make that an alert former Customs' inspector) who discovered the Brassington tie-in to the July 2000 heroin bust when he ran his name though his computer.

"Brassington handed me a manifest for the flight from Executive Flight Support, which I found out later was owned by Wally Hilliard, and managed by Alphonso Bowe," Sanders stated. "So Brassington apparently still has some kind of financial relationship with Hilliard."

Huffman Aviation flight school owner Wally Hilliard is the owner of Executive Flight Support FBO (fixed base of operations) in Nassau. Alphonso Bowe manages the facility for him.

And how, you might ask, is the elusive Mr. Bowe and Hilliard's Executive Flight Support operation listed in U.S. Custom's computers? Why, as the "Alfonso Bowe Smuggling Group," of course!

From "protected drug operations" to the owner of terror flight schools, from 9/11 to 10 tons of coke seized from planes used in CIA "ghost flights"...

Though the mind reels, such levels of malfeasance and corruption, though the norm, go unpunished, simply dissolving into thin air, catalogued under the file marked "business as usual."

Narco News has published or linked to several articles recently about the connection between the CIA and DEA with respect to drug trafficking. Most interesting.

One has to wonder what could happen if such an operation were compromised.

I am still wondering who the ubiquitous AitchD is.

Hey mf, when I chose 'AitchD' I hadn't googled it but thought it was unique. Another 'AitchD', apparently of the UK, had appeared a year or so earlier (and apparently has disappeared). I post comments here often, at Huffpost maybe once in a hundred blue moons, and the other day I chimed in at Covert History. I like to write and play golf (I walk and carry my sticks). Check out my tombstone to find out which I thought is harder to do well. Do you wonder if sofla lives in South Florida?

CIA is our gov't version of the mob on a global scale, sprinkled with a few good souls who try to do the right thing.

Hmmm, yet more evidence that there was drug smuggling going on at those Florida flight schools... drug smuggling, and not much else.

Is Danny Hopsicker ever - EVER - going to find evidence of any actual terrorism at those damn flight schools?!? He can tell us anything you want to know about virtually anybody who ever had anything to do with the place, but can't find one stinking trace of anything connected to 9/11. 9/11 was planned by these guys at these stupid flight schools and Hopsicker can't find one measly shred of evidence?

The infamous 19 were drug smugglers, period. Not terrorists. Osama's gang grew opium in Afghanistan and then smuggled the heroin into the US via Florida. Lots of people were involved in this lucrative operation, which is why you find all these connections to various "wealthy Saudis" and other people known to be involved in the drug trade, like Hilliard.

Now, why in the hell would these guys want to do 9/11? That would just lead to their lucrative business being shut down... which is precisely what happened. Now I wonder who might have had an interest in bringing that about... let's see, maybe Osama's former business partner, who happened to become president of the United States about eight months before 9/11 and was about 40 miles from Huffman Aviation when the towers went boom? Or maybe 200+ agents from a certain foreign "ally" who were known to be following the "hijackers"....

Yes, and used the profits to finance terrorist operations -- just like Turkey's neo-Nazi Grey Wolves or Italy's fascist Avanguardia Nazionale.

No, dear reader, exactly the opposite happened! Please consult UN and EU statistics of opium production in Afghanistan before and then after, 9/11.

I'd say you'd be amazed but I doubt it since you seem predisposed to blame Israel and "the Jews" for 9/11. You seem to mistake the Zionist (tail) for the US imperialist (dog). The dog wags the tail, not the other way round.

No, the Afghan-Arab database al-Qaeda is the responsible party. The questions you fail to ask, the pertinent ones, are what covert operations -- and allies -- were the USG protecting at the time?

I'll give you a hint: they sit on oceans of oil, hold trillions of US dollars, are autocrats...

I'm well aware of that. But different people are profiting from it now than before 9/11. That's the point.

Israel and certain segments of American/international Jewry certainly had a big hand in 9/11, but there were definitely others involved. I specifically named Bush and others involved in the drug trade. There are certainly others (I'll leave them out in the interest of staying on topic).

That's not true, and in any case the relationship is much more complex than one controlling the other. In some ways the Zionists and the US establishment cooperate and in some ways they are antagonistic to each other (and when they are antagonistic, the Zionists often win). But I was merely pointing out the fact (not seriously disputed as far as I know) that hundreds of Mossad agents were following around the alleged hijackers. It's very well documented, but it really strikes a nerve with a lot of people (you included, evidently) so people ignore it, and shriek at anyone who dares mention it ("you're blaming the Jews!!!").


No, the Afghan-Arab database al-Qaeda is the responsible party.


At least you seem to understand that "al-Qaeda" refers to a database, and not to a real organization. Now I'd like to ask how a database can be responsible for much of anything.

Most importantly, you didn't address my main point, which is that Hopsicker, despite years of digging around in Florida and finding all sorts of dirt on other aspects of what was going on down there, has found absolutely no evidence of anything connected to the planning or carrying out of 9/11. Now, how do you account for that? And why do you accept that the alleged hijackers were responsible without evidence?
