The “logistical coordinator” for a top Mexican drug-trafficking gang that was responsible for purchasing the CIA torture jet that crashed with four tons on cocaine on board back in 2007 has told the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago that he has been working as a U.S. government asset for years.
Jesus Vicente Zambada Niebla is the son of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada Garcia, one of the top kingpins of the Sinaloa drug-trafficking organization. Niebla was arrested in Mexico in March 2009 and extradited to the United States to stand trial last February.
“The indictment pending against Zambada Niebla claims he served as the “logistical coordinator” for the “cartel,” helping to oversee an operation that imported into the U.S. “multi-ton quantities of cocaine … using various means, including but not limited to, Boeing 747 cargo aircraft, private aircraft … buses, rail cars, tractor trailers, and automobiles,” writes Narcosphere’s Bill Conroy.
In a two page court pleading filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago, Niebla claims that he was working on behalf and with the authority of, “The U.S. Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”); and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”); and the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”),” since January 1, 2004.
Niebla is also connected to the Gulfstream II jet that wrecked with four tons of cocaine on board on September 24, 2007. European investigators linked the plane’s tail number, N987SA, to past CIA “rendition” operations. The bill of sale for the Gulfstream jet, sold weeks before it crashed, listed the name of Greg Smith, a pilot who had previously worked for the FBI, DEA and CIA.
The plane was purchased by Niebla’s Sinaloa drug-trafficking organization through a syndicate of Colombian drug-traffickers that included a CIA asset named Nelson Urrego, according to another undercover CIA operative, Baruch Vega, who was involved in the deal.

“The Gulfstream II jet, according to Mexican authorities, was among a number of aircraft acquired by the Sinaloa drug organization via an elaborate money laundering scheme involving a chain of Mexican casa de cambios (currency exchange houses) overseen by alleged Sinaloa organization operative Pedro Alfonso Alatorre Damy, according to Mexican government and U.S. media reports,” writes Conroy.
Sinaloa bought the jet by wiring money through the U.S. banking giant Wachovia, now a subsidiary of Wells Fargo. “In total, nearly $13 million dollars went through correspondent bank accounts at Wachovia for the purchase of aircraft to be used in the illegal narcotics trade. From these aircraft, more than 20,000 kilograms of cocaine were seized,” states Wachovia’s deferred prosecution agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice. Wachovia was forced to pay a penalty of around $160 million dollars for allowing the money to be laundered through its correspondent bank accounts.
“So, the criminal cases pending against alleged Colombian narco-trafficker Urrego, accused money-launderer Damy and Sinaloa organization logistics chief Zambada Niebla all appear to connect through the Gulfstream II cocaine jet at some level,” summarizes Conroy.
Another private aircraft that was full of cocaine crashed in New Mexico on Sunday morning, but the plane has yet to be identified.
In addition to smuggling narcotics into the United States, Niebla is also accused of obtaining weapons from the U.S. with the intent to use them to cause violence in Mexico City, leading to the murders of several innocent people. Despite the fact that the Obama administration has cited the flow of guns from the U.S. into Mexico as an excuse with which to attack the second amendment rights of Americans, it was recently revealed that the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives deliberately allowed guns to be smuggled from the U.S. into the hands of Mexican drug lords under “Operation Fast and Furious”. President Obama later denied that he had any knowledge of the program.
Niebla’s assertion that he smuggled drugs from Mexico into the United States while working for the U.S. government adds further weight to the already voluminous body of evidence that confirms the CIA and U.S. banking giants are the top players in a global drug trade worth hundreds of billions of dollars a year, information made public by the likes of Gary Webb, who it was claimed committed suicide in 2004 despite the fact that he was found with two gunshot wounds to the head and after Webb himself had complained of death threats and “government people” stalking his home.

Anyone notice the sudden increase and fashionability of heroin in the US? I can assure you the Taliban haven’t flown it in.
April 27th, 2011 at 9:44 am
Yes Huggles, heroin is readily available in my small town, pushed to kids at a low price.
The corruption goes all the way down to the local police level.
There is too much money at all levels to legalize any of these drugs, as Hillary Clinton said awhile back.

“….another undercover CIA operative, Baruch Vega, who was involved in the deal.”
An Israeli sounding name for a C IA officer. Interesting.
April 27th, 2011 at 1:40 pm
So…
The basic point of your comment is…
I THINK HE’S A JOOOOO!!!
?!?
April 27th, 2011 at 2:44 pm
Actually I think he is a zionist Jew like the Dancing Israelis, the internal organ trading rabbis in New Jersey who imported Palestinian body parts and the several hundred wanted Israeli war criminals that dare not leave Israel.
What I want to know is what is a man with an Israeli name, very distinct from the standard Jewish American name doing in the C IA.
You said “I THINK HE’S A JOOOOO!!!” in an attempt to attribute mindless Jew hating characteristics to dismiss my genuine query.
April 29th, 2011 at 5:03 am
chicagoguy your outta line and huggles your retort was spot on
zionists are the biggest threats to peace not jews
there is a difference and if you dont know i suggest you research and stop saying
its the jews!
i am a buddhist if anyone is wondering
an aussie one:)
April 27th, 2011 at 8:20 am
Maybe Fox News can chew on that for a while. It is of no surprise to us learned. Maybe all the drug lords will squeal before they go down by the very people(CIA) using them. Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.
April 27th, 2011 at 9:53 am
Deniability.
April 27th, 2011 at 4:53 am It’s no coincidence that most of the founding members of Los Zetas were School of the Americas graduates… The U.S Government controls of poles of the Drug War, and redefines HYPOCRISY…
April 27th, 2011 at 4:53 am

April 27th, 2011 at 5:33 am the biggest gangs/cia… caught red handed again
April 27th, 2011 at 5:45 am Obama knew nothing about the guns deal just like he did not know what Jeramiah Wright was preaching for 20 yrs. and Bill Ayers just happened to live in his neighborhood. Obama always voted present and has sealed all of his records and has a birth certificate from Kenya that he will not show. He is making sure that the voters have nothing on him. The proof is in the pudding my dad once said. Now the pudding has been placed upon the table and the American people say it tastes bitter with treason and deceit. Donald Trump wants Obama to claim what he and his backers have cooked up for America and finally be accountable for who and what he really stands for. Obama is a globalist, racist, that hates America and plans to take her down and replace her with a Marxist model. I pray that the youth vote has finally seen between the lines and see this fraud for what he really is, a Trojan Horse.
April 27th, 2011 at 5:52 am Uh, yeah. That’s a surprise! DUH!
April 27th, 2011 at 6:05 am Los Zetas is the para-military army that protects the Sinaloa drug cartel and it is my understanding that many of them were trained at Fort Benning, GA at what used to be called The School of the Americas or The School for Dictators. When you see pictures of Los Zetas from a few years ago, (during the Bush administration) .. they were way to clean and well dressed in newly starched uniforms. I always felt that the violence in Mexico was contrived to destabalize that country..much like what is happening in the Middle East..but right in our own backyard..it is about taking control.. the drug money is black money used in black ops like what is happening in Egypt or Libya..
The banks in the US have always been conduits for the drug money..Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Chase Manhatten..Wall Street is up to its neck in dirty money. It is institutionalized at this point and has been since WWII when the Board of Economic Warfare first purchased the entire crop of Opium from the country of Turkey to keep morphine from helping the wounded soldiers of the Axis nations. Organized crime has always been in business with the government, especially the intelligence operations of the Navy and CIA.
President Obama is merely window dressing..he is the face for the public because what really is going on behind the scenes is too ugly to contemplate for most people. Don’t blame him directly for this mess..it started long before he was born and will continue well into the future. One amazing thing for the criminals to think about, they still have to breath the same air as the rest of us and right now all the air on the planet is full of radioactive material that has been spewing out of Japan. They could decide to put down their weapons .. they could decide to stop assisting the US government or elements within the US government that are engaging in a war against humanity.
April 27th, 2011 at 6:09 am He is a criminal…but what he says is 100% gospel fact to you clowns???
HA…..
April 27th, 2011 at 6:33 am But the bottom line in all this drug dealing winds up in the yards of those wo buy the poison in the first place???? We can blame who ever we want that is making money off this but if not enough would buy the stuff, they would not be making the money in the first place.
We the many are the ones feeding this and feeding off of it.
Can we change this and turn it around?
” lets say I am addicted to that poison, my chances lie only on myself and my will to end my addiction and I have no one else to blame but myself for my addiction. I must start by putting my own act together if I want to end my hellish downfall in the pit of evil.
April 27th, 2011 at 6:40 am I guess Gary Webb used an automatic machine gun to commit suicide? ( two gun shot wounds to the head!?)
April 27th, 2011 at 8:39 am
Up to 8% of suicides by gun involve more than one bullet…guess those all need to be reclassified as murders…?
There are trajectories into the head that do not result in total incapacitation.
His “Dark Alliance” writings came out in 1996, his death was in 2004….8 years to kill him…
oh, and lets not forget that Webb’s ex-wife, Sue Bell, said that Webb had been depressed for some time over his inability to get a job at another major newspaper. The day before he died he mailed notes to family members, and during the months before his suicide he had taken steps to settle his financial affairs…
April 27th, 2011 at 8:54 am
Gary should have known, you don’t write bad things about Saint Ronald the Reagan, or any of the scum bags in the Bush Family.
April 27th, 2011 at 9:01 am u.s. government trafficking drugs into the u.s. hah, what else is new? and they make the laws to put drug users and sellers behind bars to rot, but the narcos who are controlled by the government are allowed to sell and trade… corruption at its finest indeed.. you guys should see casino, that’s how the government operates. its total bullshit hypocracy
April 27th, 2011 at 9:11 am the real crime is that this stuff is still illegal. Which enables these thugs and crooks to make billions. While at home they make billions putting people behind bars for possesing the crap they make billions off of selling. Plus investigate the cancer curing plant caanibus is with held from patients who really need it to save their lives. The bible says god created evry seed bearing plant and they are all good. So it is man who has turned them into something evil. It all goes back to another famous bible qoute . The love of money is the root of evil. Not money itself but the LOVE of money. GREED CAPITALISM.

Oh, the irony. The movies have true stuff while corporate media news is fiction.
April 27th, 2011 at 12:35 pm Zionists are scum. We need more whistle blowers. The illegitimate government we have punishes whistle blowers because they are the the biggest crime outfit in the world. Imagine mobsters with the power of the US military behind it. That’s what we have.
