A MadCowMorningNews investigation has uncovered links between the ownership of the drug-running Gulfstream (Cocaine Two) and the other American-registered plane busted carrying a multi-ton load of cocaine in Mexico recently, the DC9 (Cocaine One) airliner caught with 5.5 tons of cocaine in Mexico 18 months ago.


Recently-released FAA records from the Gulfstream II business jet that went down in Mexico a month ago with four tons of cocaine reveal that before it was “parked” in the name of a New York real estate developer with ties to the Russian Mob, the plane was owned by a secretive Midwestern media baron and Republican fund-raiser, who had a business partner who, incredibly, owned the other American drug plane, the DC9, recently busted in Mexico.

Adams was in business with Miami attorney Michael Farkas, who founded SkyWay Aircraft, which owned the DC9 busted in Mexico 18 months ago with 5.5 tons of cocaine aboard.

Moreover at the same time the Bush Ranger extraordinaire Stephen Adams owned the Gulfstream (N987SA) in 1999 and 2000, he was personally buying over $1 million of billboard ads for George W. Bush for his 2000 Presidential election bid.


Meet the New Boss (Same as the old boss.)


According to SEC filings, Stephen Adams and Michael Farkas jointly controlled Holiday RV Superstores, Inc., which was used by arms merchant and CIA-fixer Adnan Khashoggi in a complicated securities fraud which stole as much as $300 million from investors and taxpayers.

Khashoggi, under indictment for felony fraud in the case and currently a fugitive from justice, is himself involved in the DC9 scandal through his lieutenant Ramy El-Batrawi, also a Farkas business partner, and the former owner of one of the two twin DC9's used for god only knows what.

The links between recent owners of the two drug planes, discovered during an examination of FAA registration records, suggest a continuing criminal conspiracy to engage in massive drug trafficking, involving Republican fund-raisers Adams and Senator Mel Martinez, Saudi arms dealer Khashoggi, prominent oligarchs in the Russian Mob, dirty San Diego defense contractor Titan Corp., as well as elements of American military and civilian intelligence.

The politically-explosive implications of the scandal may explain why American officials have been reluctant to move against, or even name, the true owners of the planes and basically "turned a blind eye" to the American involvement exposed by the drug trafficking seizures.


"Like hiding the salami, only easier"
Our interest in the FAA records of the Gulfstream had been quickened by the suspicion that the plane’s several recent ownership changes had been nothing more than sham transactions, a sophisticated game of “hide the pea” designed to conceal the aircraft’s true owners.

The registration had rapidly passed through the hands of two Brazilians operating a dummy front company called Donna Blue Aircraft ( or, for aficionado’s of the ‘boys’ seemingly endless cleverness in naming front companies, d/b/a for short ).

The Brazilians then supposedly “flipped” the plane, just two weeks before it crashed, to Greg Smith and Clyde O’Connor, the pair of hapless pilots, based at the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, being fitted for “I’m The Patsy!” t-shirts.

Neither of the two pilots, we had soon learned, has the financial wherewithal to have paid the $2 million in cash claimed by the Brazilian men. But apparently they didn't need it. Their bill of sale states they bought the Gulfstream for the princely sum of $100. The usual statement, the one we've seen in virtually every other FAA bill of sale, states $100, OVA, meaning Or Other Valuable Consideration. Not this one, though.

Either the boys got the real plane cheap,

Bush Fundraiser Linked to CIA Drug Plane, Oct 29, 2007, by Daniel Hopsicker

.....

It is apparent that the ‘boys” are still using the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. And perhaps, instead of using weapons flights to provide protection, they may now be using the transfer of prisoners to the American naval base in Guantanamo, Cuba to cover their trips to Colombia.

Ignition. Rendition. Perdition.

Ever wonder where all the money goes?

Other than the odd million here or there, that is, for billboards for George W. Bush.

Perhaps like this one, on an Orlando freeway, which appeared just after the 2004 *election*, and it was sponsored by Clear Channel Communication..





Here's more about these suspicious planes from an October 6, 2007 update.

7. Here's more on Stephen Adams, the 2006 Arbuckle Award

Stephen Adams Honored with 2006 Arbuckle Award
http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/news/headlines/2006arbuckleaward.shtml

February 2006


STANFORD GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS — His business empire includes billboards, wine, banks, and a broad set of products and services for recreational vehicle users. The entire group of Adams Companies would rank 150 on the Forbes list of privately held firms if it were a single company, Stephen Adams told guests at the dinner honoring him as the 2006 Arbuckle Award recipient.

Like the man at the helm, Adams’ companies keep an extremely low profile. The privately held firms have “no need to beat the drum for Wall Street or whisper the earnings expectations for the next quarter. … By and large, I have enjoyed and preferred to be below the radar screen and out of the public spotlight,” said Adams, MBA ’62, who was honored Feb. 15 as the 36th recipient of the top award presented by the Stanford Business School Alumni Association to an outstanding member of the Business School community.

Steady growth and long-term relationships are the key to success of his companies, said Adams. He bought his first outdoor advertising firm in 1983; started building the Affinity Group in 1989; purchased Affinity Bank in 1995, Adams Wine Group in 1996, and Freedom Roads RV dealerships in 2003.

“In other words: If it’s good, stick with it,” he advised.

Adams introduced the top leadership of several of his firms, including President Mike Schneider of the Affinity Group, who has been with the firm for 25 years, and Mike McGuire, who has been president of Affinity Bank for the 10 years it has been part of the Adams Companies.

Decrying business figures involved in ethical scandals, Adams argued that they have put self-interest first. Even among highly ethical leaders, Adams said, most increase their social consciousness at the point in their career when they undergo a transition from seeking business success to focusing more on “using what has been accumulated for the right purposes,” such as supporting charitable causes.

“Helping others not so fortunate as we is a just and noble cause, and now and into the future we will continue to find places and people” to support with charitable gifts, he said.

Adams expressed his strong belief in the basic value of business to society and outlined how he chooses firms to include in his holdings. He pointed to the shiny red apple placed at each setting at the formal dinner. “If you took this apple and carved it into four pieces—leaving the core as the fifth piece—you would have a presentation of my thinking about the basic business principles,” Adams told the guests.

First, he said, the business should be in an industry with a fair degree of activity from buyers and sellers, allowing value to be established clearly.

Second, Adams called for investing in easily identifiable profit centers, “without a lot of allocated or unallocated overhead and indirect costs.”

“Third, the investment should be able to attract a lineup of lenders. One lender doing a one-off financing is not enough. The multiple lenders will provide a fluid and liquid market for the investment when the time comes to buy or exit.

“Fourth, the opportunity should have many of the characteristics of a franchise; namely, protected territory, inelastic demand, unlevel playing field, and difficult barriers to entry. It should be more than a commodity but something that has true and continuing franchise value.

“And finally, I come to the most important part of the Adams Apple—the core; namely, the people part of the equation. There should be a vast source of qualified men or women from which to recruit. It can’t be dependent on one person or a single entity. It needs a team and bench strength with more than one person running it. Usually the best management will be available and willing to move, given the right incentives and compensation plan.”

I bet those RV's come in handy for driving all that cocaine around after you get it into the country!

8. Wow, Bush fundraisers, Kashoggi, the Russian mafiya, TITAN....

this is where they all come together...all we need is the shadow CIA and some of the principal Iran/Contra figures and you have the BFEE in a nutshell.

[Joanne98]

9. Stephen Adams owns a private bank, that services his RV customers.

When their on the road driving his cocaine around!(sarcasm) You can't make this stuff up.

AGI acquired the San Francisco Thrift and Loan in 1996, renaming it Affinity Bank, for the purpose of providing financial services to its customers and club members. While continuing to provide full banking services to its existing base of four million customers, Affinity Bank developed services that catered to the on-the-road lifestyle of RV owners. Banking transactions took place over the telephone, with each customer assigned to a regular representative, if preferred. In 1997 the bank opened a second branch at AGI's headquarters in Ventura, California. Banking operations were then reorganized as Affinity Bank Holdings Inc., an entity independent of AGI.

10. Penny stock pump and dump schemes and naked shorting!

http://utah.indymedia.org/news/2006/06/15693_comment.php

For those,like Congressman Peter King of New York, who think the CIA,(Republican Party),should be the police for the world's banking and brokerages and stock transactions,it would at least be fitting to ask the CIA to at least remove themselves from dealing in U.S.
or other public companies for personal gain in the first place.Of course Peter Kink should know that Dick Cheney and Ollie North et.al.(who called for the NY Times reporters heads on Fox 'News') - who have themselves been involved in stock scams, penny stocks, and offshore accounts and self dealing among
other things - should be the last ones to throw stones at reporters for revealing a little about the U.S. government's tentacles,not just in financial or money movements but in the world's stock markets ! All while dealing in the scammiest penny stock transactions - some of which may include unaudited shares sold or dumped in Kuala Lumpur Dubai or UAE !

I say this because Bellador Group of Kuala Lumpur and Dubai as well as deals made to tout a U.S. and or Saudi penny stock,Nannaco, by a Patrick Lockrie and James Dale Davidson of the Washington
political scene and other such questionable offshore activities like ex CIA Chief James Woolsey ,Asa Hutchinson,Tom McMillen and their scammy penny stock Fortress America and offshore deals and accounts,(Palladin,etc.),using their Beltway connections to add credibility to their stock share scams.

The recent scandal exposed by Daniel Hopsicker re Skyway Communications penny stock being used to buy a DC-9 that was painted to look like a John Negroponte Homeland Security airplane is simply outrageous,Mr.King,and we the citizens can't even be
reporters of such news because you don't want to hear it and want the rest of America and world citizens to be as ignorant as you !

If Peter King were an honest broker ,or Congressional representative,he would be calling for an investigation into the CIA's penny stock dealings and even their using sensational claims of military and security technology and supposed guaranteed government purchase of the often non-existent 'product' to promote what turns out to be worthless shares from a worthless company.The CIA is involved in penny stock scams.Check that out Representative Peter King !

In fact if Peter King only knew U.S. penny stock may be used for money laundering drug dealing and that all the stocks I mention above have offshore or Middle Eastern investors involved ! And their only desire is to dump worthless shares good for money laundering
till they are dumped back on the U.S. retail market and defrauded,mainly American investors.You and the DOJ and the SEC and the CIA and the FBI all allow this to go on. Why ?

And what does all this mean ? My sole interest began with a penny stock fraud that Stanford University and its researchers Heeschen and Cooke profited from.They used a nicotine research grant to get a patent then used by Endovasc,a fraudulent company still in 'business' thanks to the SEC, to promote or 'pump' their worthless shares from a few cents to $15 a share and back down as fast as insiders, including Stanford researchers,dumped shares !

Still later in 2002 Endovasc shares were dumped from a Charles Schwab account among others.In the end Endovasc shares became like counterfeit money for Bellador Group and its Mr.Taylor and his Arizona attorney Ron Logan.Bellador Group works out of Kuala Lumpur and Dubai,UAE,among other places no doubt.
They proudly boast of their involvement with U.S. penny stocks.And although they have been complained about around the world and didn't even report their unaudited Endovasc shares in SEC filings,
Chris Cox's SEC,or is it now John Negroponte's SEC,
allows them to continue using U.S. penny stock shares for fraud and probanle money laundering !
Why,Representative King !?

Also note the anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist's ties with gangster-lobbyist Abramoff and that Abramoff and Norquist actually charged 'clients' for meetings with W Bush or Carl Rove. Norquist is also James Dale Davidson and Steve Forbes connected by way of their far right National Taxpayers Union that Davidson founded in 1969.Steve Forbes could tell us much about James Dale Davidson and his Agora Inc. pump
and dump operations over the years.You won't read about it in Forbes or Fortune though. Perhaps this is why Steve Forbes does not open his tax records to the public when he runs for public office.

I believe the unaccounted for and unaudited penny stocks alone that the SEC and the W Bush administration allow to be pumped dumped around the world not only can aid money laundering but drug trafficking and terrorism or even political dirty tricks. Skyway Communications that both Titan Corp and Jeb Bush's Department of Transportation promoted in press releases as a viable and credible company used both to promote(pump) and dump worthless shares on defrauded investors. And again,Saudis or Arabs and right wing Israelis were both involved !

To allow the CIA to run official In-Q-Tel stock scams, and some suspect,unofficial stock scams as far as money laundering centers of Asia and the Middle East,
and also have access to monitor or mine the data of
the world's financial and stock transactions around the world is a serious conflict of interest.But DNI John Negroponte,George W Bush,SEC Chairman Chris Cox,Dick Cheney,Oliver North and even Peter King should know this.

Putting the CIA or Chris Cox and John Negroponte for that matter,in charge of mining the data of the world's financial traffic,is surley putting the foxes in charge of the hen house and any congress that allows them such powers without oversight,such as Peter King is an advocate for,should not be in Congress in the first place.

Putting the data into the hands of the CIA's and NSA's SRA Internatiional, whose Mantas Inc anti-money laundering software 'failed' to detect the illegal pump and dump of 'up to 30 million' Endovasc shares from one Schwab account in late 2002,is also unfair to investors who have been spyed upon by SRA International Mantas Inc.,supposed 'anti-money laundering' software.While SRA International bragged shortly after 911 of being able to detect a salary raise of a few thousand doillars in one brokerage customer's account - they were, in truth, unable or unwilling,to detect an illegal pump and dump of 'up to 30 million shares' from one Charles Schwab account as James Dale Davidson and his and Bill Bonner's Agora Inc. promoted it with lies to sell the wiorthless shares ! AND IT WAS EXACTLY THE SUCCESS OF THIS PUMP AND DUMP THAT LED ENDOVASC TO DEAL THEIR WORTHLESS SHARES IN KUALA LUMPUR AND DUBAI,UAE THROUGH BELLADOR GROUP THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE A CIA FRONT BUT ARE WELL PROTECTED TO MAINTAIN THEIR PENNY STOCK FRAUD OPERATIONS IN DUBAI,ETC. !!

Below is from a penny stock promotion site of Mark Faulk that like a number of related fraudulent sites by Patrick Byrne,James Dale Davidson,David Patch,et.al.
claim that brokers counterfeit or 'naked short' shares of the worthless 'companies' they promote.What is of most interest is the claim of being connected to the White House through lobbyist Jack Wynn as you can read for yourself below.:

On June 26, 2004, just two days after the SEC approved Regulation SHO, Patch received a request from Wynn for information pertaining to naked short selling:

Dave: Can you mail me all of your naked short selling memos? I only need the latest ones mixed with others that are educational in nature (in other words, memos that explain how naked shorts work, etc.). I'm organizing a policy paper on this issue for distribution to the White House (which has requested it) and Members of Congress (who support us).

So now the White House and Congress was requesting information on naked short selling, purportedly with the intent of putting halt to the corruption that had permeated our stock market system. Patch sent the requested information to Wynn, But then, like the Senate Banking Sub-Committee hearing that Sen. Shelby would kill a year later, the scheduled House Financial Services Committee hearing never happened.

- from penny stock scamster Mark Faulk bragging of the influence of penny stock pump and dump,money laundering con artists' influence or 'lobby' all the way to the White House !


FROM REDHERRING.COM :

The Post column also flagged comments by frequent Internet poster Tony Ryals, who accuses In-Q-Tel, variously, of participating in penny stock “pump and dump” schemes in a variety of countries, including Dubai, Malaysia, and Israel, with the blogger adding an allegation that the Securities and Exchange Commission was investigating In-Q-Tel.

Mr. Tighe said In-Q-Tel does not invest in public companies, and had no involvement in any of those countries mentioned. “That simply isn’t accurate. We’re open to innovation wherever it is coming from in the world, but we have no activity in those regions,” he said.

He also denied the firm is under investigation by the SEC. Calls to the SEC on the topic drew the expected “no comment.”

Mr. Tighe also said the venture firm has been well-insulated from Washington politics that have rocked the agency since the sudden resignation of CIA Director Porter Goss earlier this month.

“There’s been no repercussions here, in part because we’re structured as a formal year-by-year problem-set definition, and we get input from that from each of the agencies in the intelligence community,” he said. “So our mission is clear, and pre-established. There’s no changes or tweaking coming from the surface of the ocean, if you will. We run beneath all those tides.”

11. They're even making money off bankruptcies

http://www.madcowprod.com/08082006.html

One unexpected discovery was that the narcotics trafficking is just one of the lucrative criminal enterprises the enterprise is engaged in.

The registration records of the twin DC9’s involved in the operation reveal that there is apparently something special about owning of these particular planes...

You get a free pass to steal from unwary investors.

At least six of the companies associated with “Cocaine One” and its twin airliner have been involved in massive fraud resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars being swindled from innocent investors and shareholders.

SkyWay, Jetborne… even Mexican industrialist Juan Serrano Segovia’s GRUPO TMM defaulted on $377 million in loans several months ago.

We will be keeping a running tally of companies associated with the operation finding it necessary to declare bankruptcy…but only after being stripped of anything not securely tied down.
