 the fall guy and the snowman. I wonder if this is related to the movie with Sean Penn and stuff. Car cocaine and the Contras. Card number 26. Car cocaine and the Contras. Number 24. Car cocaine and the Contras. In 1979 the Sandinistas booted director Anastasio Somoza, Anastasio Somoza out of Nicaragua. In nation historically under such absolute Yankee control that its paper currency was at one time signed by the founder of Prescott Bush's banking firm. Nicaragua was now in the hands of Marxist. The U.S. soon launched a war against Nicaragua from Honduras and Costa Rica were Contra armies composed of American right-wing mercenaries. CIA trained Bay of Pigs Cubans and the remnants of the Somo-Sestas had been formed. In Costa Rica the war was directed from the ranch of John Hall, a former Indiana farmer who had offered his services to NC, NSC advisor Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North. According to several witnesses, among them Stephen Carr, a Florida mercenary who worked for Hall, the ranch served as a transit point in a guns for drugs scheme that supplied weapons to the Contras and Medellin cartel cocaine to the U.S. drug market. Before he could bring his story to Congress, however, Carr was found dead from an overdose of cocaine which some speculate was not self-administered. Hall now faces Costa Rican murder charges for his role in the 1984 attempted assassination of renegade Contra leader Eden Pastora in La Pensa, Nicaragua in which several international journalists were killed. The Washington DC-based Crystic Institute is pursuing a lawsuit against Hall and 28 other defendants involved in the La Pena bombing and compellingly assert that many of these men, such Richard Secord, Thomas Kline's and Rafael Chichiquintiro, have financed worldwide covert operations with drug profits for 20 years. Oliver North has his hands all over Latin America and again apologies about brutalizing these names. History aspect of it. There's so many players in this.
