El Aissami: Antonini es un agente del FBI y la CIA

[struggle4progress]

... Criticó el hecho de que Antonini Wilson no sea juzgado en Estados Unidos y que tampoco permitan extraditarlo a Argentina o Venezuela.

"Es denuncia ridícula lo de Globovisión, de un show, de un delito, que se cometió en Argentina ahora resulta que el victimario, el delincuente, que cometió el hecho, se encuentra en Estados Unidos, bajo la vigilancia y la anuencia del gobierno norteamericano. Ahora resulta que un delito que se comente en argentina involucra a funcionarios del gobierno bolivariano, no es más que una olla podrida".

El Aissami mandó al reportero del canal Globovisión a preguntar por qué el gobierno norteamericano no permite que Antonini esté a las órdenes judiciales de los países donde se cometió el delito.

"Seria bueno que ustedes que tienen corresponsales allá y que tienen un libreto y se está haciendo casi como una película estilo Hollywood pregunten porque el gobierno norteamericano no permite que el ciudadano Antonini y Carlos Kauffman estén a las ordenes de estancias judiciales donde se cometieron los hechos" ...

Much shorter English version:
Venezuelan Interior Minister: "Antonini Wilson is an FBI and CIA agent"
Venezuelan Minister of the Interior and Justice Tarek El Aissami said .... "Antonini is an agent of the FBI and a member of the CIA. He is acting as such, he is a henchman." The minister described as "a smear campaign" and "an international show" the trial .. underway in the United States ... El Aissami criticized the fact that .... Antonini has not been extradited to Argentina or Venezuela. http://english.eluniversal.com/2008/10/06/en_pol_art_venezuelan-interior_06A2048483.shtml

1. Solo esto faltaba!

lol

:rofl:

[Judi Lynn]

2. And who on earth, of sound mind, would doubt this! Bush is refusing to allow Argentina to question

the sack of excrement, and they are pretending they have to "protect" him from possible foul play now, so no one can get access to the guy.

Sure, he's their man. "You betcha!" What a delight to see El Universal, coup supporting opposition newspaper publish this information.

[Bacchus39]

4. umm...they are reporting the stupid lie from an administration official

just to be sure he covered all the bases, Antonini works for the CIA AND the FBI I see.

[Bacchus39]

3. a fascinating claim considering Argentine and Ven government officials were also on the flight and

hired the plane.

just another wild lie from the Chavz administration.

[Judi Lynn]

5. Right. Chavez & Fernandez knew all about the plot, the plane, the crew, and they knew about the

money, and that slimy bagman, Antonini. Well, case closed. Congratulations, Sherlock.

[Bacchus39]

6. of course they did!!! that is why they are trying to cover this up

not very smart of Duran to have a Venezuela intelligence badge with him when he went to the US to pressure Antonini to keep quiet.

[EFerrari]

7. This whole incident reminds me of a scene in "High Anxiety"

where the plotters are stuck, trying to figure out how to take the morning paper off of the streets.

"We're going to need a BIG truck, a big truck and A LOT of quarters."

lol

[Judi Lynn]

8. You bet. Real dirty tricks, for sure. Covert crap. as per usual. From the same people

who helped Nixon "make the economy scream" through a million evil schemes to destabilize Allende, and all other leftist, elected leaders.



Can't get much dirtier, alright.
They always pull it off slicker than snot, and the American people didn't use to know about it until decades later. Maybe Steven's "system of pipes" will make that difference in the future, when people are able to find out, REGARDLESS of the unfavorable news blackout in corporate media!

By the way, I saw around 5 photos yesterday looking at an online newspaper from Venezuela which showed all KINDS of protestors standing in front of the Stock Exchange a week or two ago, and a HUGE sign someone had made saying, "Jump, Fuckers." I happen to know NOTHING similar to these photos was shown anywhere I know about on our own tv news or any newspapers I saw.

Also, there was a line of people dressed in black robes with skull masks standing in a line directly in front of the building.

Isn't it odd that we never heard about this?

On edit:
Can't remember what search I did to get me to that site, but I looked for Wall Street Protest photos in google news and found this photo from Australia, showing some of the people in black I saw in the Venezuela paper:





2nd one is from the Cayman Islands

9. Uberti, who allowed Antonini to hitch a ride with the official delegation,

was promptly sacked by Mr. Kirchner: absent other evidence, limited available coverage suggests that Uberti allowed Antonini on the plane because Antonini asked for a lift. That seems to eliminate culpability in the money-smuggling for anyone else on the plane

There certainly is a lot of lying in this case, by Antonini in particular. Airport security has testified Antonini gave multiple, conflicting answers about suitcase contents. Antonini later claimed the suitcase wasn't his, not what he told airport officials at the time of the cash discovery. Following confiscation of the money, Antonini was briefly detained and released, after which he disappeared. Press reported he fled to Uruguay, but he called a paper claiming he had switched his cell-phone coverage to Buenos Aires. He later testified he had visited friends in Uruguat before returning to Miami. It is at least curious that one of those accused by the US is Uruguayan

Coming back more times to read these links.

Thank you for gathering them and sharing them.
