Reply #20: Even DEA agents say the DEA in Venezuela is corrupt.

[Minstrel Boy]

Some comments pertaining to Venezuela from DEA employees who had originally posted on DEAWatch, which I quoted a couple of months ago in this post on my blog, about the murder of DEA Special Agent Timothy Markey in Honduras:

"As I recall Timothy had a running gun battle with HQ over his getting the boot out of Venezuela some years back. Constantine reportedly forced Tim to see a shrink because Tim filed complaints about some of the others in the DEA office were crooks. I would take a close look at all those Tim worked with in Venezuela. If any can be found to have lots of money and/or property they can't account for that would mean Tim was right and one or more of them might have arranged Tim's murder to look like a street robbery."

"There is a major international incident now going on in Venezuela involving DEA. The top people in Venezuela want nothing to do with DEA because they say our people are part of the problem and not part of the solution. There was talk that Markey was to be interviewed by certain members of Congress to find out what Markey could tell them about the shenanigans in the Venezuela DEA office. Hmmmm."

"When I talked to Tim just a few days ago he told me he would be meeting with a congressman about what went down in Venezuela a few years ago. Apparently the Bush-Cheney oil people are stirring up a lot of trouble in Venezuela to topple the government so that Halliburton and other companies can move in to take over the oil fields. Apparently Tim knew about some of what was going on just after Bush and Cheney first came to office. Everyone the Bush people didn't consider safe -- or had too much information -- was forced out of Venezuela. There is far more to this incident than meets the eye. Fortunately for Bush he has Tandy who will sweep Tim's death under the rug as nothing more than a case of robbery. Tim died for oil. Another casualty of the Bush-Cheney Oil Wars."

"Be careful what you learn about when working with State and CIA. If you learn too much, and try making a public report, you will be marked for death. If you want to report, do it anonymously on DEA Watch."
