NORTHERN
EXPOSURE

"Marlin Three Five Zero, this is
Almighty. Looking Glass Zero Two has a suspect trace at eleven o'clock, one
five zero degrees, speed one six zero knots, heading three four zero degrees. Four five miles on the deck, over."
"Roger, Almighty," the DEA
pilot answered as he turned toward the bogee and
started his descent to 1000 feet. "How do they think they can beat today's
technology?" he mumbled to himself as he set course for the bogee.
"Almighty, this is Three Five
Zero. I have a visual on the bogee. Will maintain trail until we pass Jamaica. Have Slingshot
pick him up on the north side of Cuba, over."
"Three Five Zero, this is
Almighty. Omaha Five Two in route at this time.
Advise when you go bingo,
over."
"Almighty, Three Five Zero,
roger, out."
The radios went silent.
It was so dark. A great night for a
run, the pilot thought to himself as he scanned the instrument panel of the
Piper Chiefton. He traveled alone so he could keep
all the pay himself. "Who needs the dead weight of a co-pilot anyway? This
was not an air drop. After all," he reasoned, "a 180 pound co-pilot
would cost him over $100,000." The cartel, his employer, was paying him
$3,500 per kilo for transportation of the cocaine. Lately, the price had been
driven up due to the intervention efforts of the US military and the DEA. This
was his third load this month. The first flight went fine. He was able to
deliver his 500 kilo cargo without a hitch. But the second flight didn't gel.
He was detected 150 miles south of the Dominican Republic. So he turned around
and flew back to Colombia to wait for another weather window. No big deal.
Tonight there hasn't been any
activity in the skies above as far as he could see. He looked at his high
frequency radio to make sure it was on the correct frequency. Everything seemed
fine, he thought. He scanned the dark skies above. Suddenly the silence was
broken. The ringer on the HF radio activitated.
"Tampico, this is San Juan.
Operations called to advise you are hot. Ten miles in trail.
Return to base, over." "Roger, San Juan," the pilot replied as
he turned right 180 degrees and kept his eyes peeled above. "Yep, there
they are," he smiled as he set course for home. "It's a good thing
the boys at Swan Island were on the job," the pilot thought. Otherwise, he
would surely have been busted on the ground in south Florida, foiled by
technology again.
The DEA pilots in Marlin Three Five
Zero descended and turned to intercept the Piper Chiefton.
"Almighty, this is Three Five
Zero. They've got us again. They're heading home," the discouraged DEA
pilot radioed to Guantanamo Bay. He was dumbfounded. How did the Chiefton pilot detect them? "Oh well, another night
shot," the DEA pilot said to his co-pilot, as they turned back toward
Guantanamo.
As a result of the use of advanced technology,
the cartels found it necessary to begin looking at alternatives. They turned to
one of the most illusive smugglers the United States
has ever encountered, a Canadian miscreant named Mike Huxtable.
Huxtable's contacts in the mob and certain US government
agencies, would prove invaluable in formulating a
bullet-proof alternative. In less than a month, Huxtable
had the cartel's alternative in place. It was amazingly simple. Just avoid the
electronic veil set up along the southern border of the United States.
So, as he began researching the east
and west coast of the US for destination landing areas, he found that many of
the areas had beefed up security measures in place. These measures were
intended to detect flights originating from the south. His research paid off,
however, when he found that it was still fairly easy for an aircraft to depart
Colombia, fly to the Bahamas to rest and refuel, and then, when a weather
window opened, continue the flight to Nova Scotia or Quebec. Again, rest and
refuel, then continue to a US/Canadian border landing strip.
An associate of Huxtable's
owned a ranch south of Weyburn, (Sk) Canada which provided a perfect landing zone.
From Weyburn, the cocaine could easily be flown in to
Montana or North Dakota, via small aircraft. However, the increase in air
traffic to the small US border airports could be a problem. It was time to
contact one of his associates for help. He recalled that his long time friend,
Terry Nelson, was from the North Dakota area.
Nelson had been so completely
successful in corrupting other law enforcement and political officials in
southern Florida to cooperate with the cartels, there was no doubt that in
North Dakota and Montana, Terry Nelson was the man for the job. Nelson not only
recruits the law enforcement officials and politicians he needs, he can also
supply data from the law enforcement arena such as the DEA NADDIS computer,
customs TECS II, EPIC, FBI, and others involved in on-going investigations.
Nelson then provides this Intel to his contacts. This helps obstruct any
investigation and diffuse potential problems.
As Nelson went to work he quietly
found that a small town in northern Montana was a prime target. Not only could he
easily align a top Montana official, but law enforcement in the area was easily
swayed. The name of the first location acquired was Chinook, Montana.
"How appropriate," Nelson
bragged to his associates. "I think we'll call this one, 'Operation Big
Blow' in honor of the Chinook winds."
More destinations followed in
Montana, North Dakota, and Wyoming. With the northern routes opened and new
overland routes through Mexico set up, the cartels' flow of cocaine to the
United States increased over 300%.
And
what about Huxtable and Nelson? Mike Huxtable's whereabouts are unkown by this author. But Terry Nelson, a senior agent for
the Federal Bureau of Investigation, continues to provide his valuable services
to cartels and others who will pay his fee, out of his FBI office in southern
Florida...unchecked.

Gary Webb's serious of articles the Dark
Alliance in
the San Jose Mercury Press was a result of Gene Tatum’s exposure
of George H. W. Bush' CIA Narcotics Smuggling.
I,
Stew Webb released the Short Version below of the Cutolo
Affidavit in 1993 after being given both the 90 page long version and the short
version in August 1993 by my Friend Bill McCoy DOD-CIA-Private Investigator
(Murdered in 1997)
The
reason the Long Version has not been released is to protect those named in it who are still alive.
