For the CIA, blood is not thicker than water (Did the CIA assassinate Eduardo Campos?) by Wayne Madsen

For the CIA, blood is not thicker than water
The CIA is relishing in the fact that its nemesis, President Dilma Rousseff, is on the political ropes following the very suspicious plane crash that took the life of Socialist Party presidential candidate Eduardo Campos. Campos was replaced on the ticket by the "Green-washed" George Soros-trained and -financed Marina Silva. Rousseff had a commanding lead in polls before the plane crash. Rousseff and Silva, a fundamentalist Pentecostal Christian and former Green Party presidential candidate, are running even at 34 percent each in the first round of elections, with conservative Social Democratic Party candidate Aecio Neves trailing at 15 percent. Neves has stated that should he finish third, he will throw his support behind Silva for the final round, which polls show Rousseff losing to Silva by 50 to 40 percent.

Neves's father, Tancredo Neves, was elected President of Brazil in 1985 as the candidate of the anti-military regime Brazilian Democratic Movement. Neves was to replace the military dictator João Baptista de Oliveira Figueiredo. However, shortly before he was to be sworn into office on March 15, 1985, Neves became ill with a severe abdominal problem. Rather than visiting foreign heads of state witnessing Neves being sworn in an president, that honor went to Neves's vice president-elect Jose Sarney, who lacked the long experience and charisma of Neves. While Neves was recovering from illness, reported to have been diverticulitis, the president-elect died. Sarney became the permanent president and the United States no longer had to worry about Neves's promise to launch an "independent" foreign policy and reduce the high American profile in the Brazilian economy. That sort of talk worried Wall Street and the CIA as described in an item from April 1985 recovered from the CIA archives. The CIA, according to a confidential newsletter called "Early Warning," which largely reflected CIA opinion, was worried that Neves would dismantle Brazil's military intelligence service, the Serviço Nacional de Informanções (SNI), an ally of the CIA in repressing the Brazilian left. The CIA was also concerned that the Soviet KGB would make inroads in Brazil during a Neves presidency.

  
Tancredo Neves [left] worried the CIA to the degree they assassinated him by poison ushering in the non-threatening presidency of his vice president, Jose Sarney. Aecio Neves [right], Tancredo's son, is prepared to support the vice presidential-turned-presidential candidate of the globalists, Marina Silva, who ascended to the top job as a result of a suspected CIA assassination of Eduardo Campos. The target now is President Dilma Rousseff and in 1985 it was Tancredo Neves. For the CIA, lightning does strike twice in Brazil by manipulating VP candidates into office through political assassination.

All that changed when Neves suspiciously died after his aborted inauguration. The CIA ensured that Neves, who was the political heir to João Goulart, overthrown by the CIA in a 1964 coup, would not appoint like-minded progressives to government positions. That would not come until the president of left-wing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in 2003. Rousseff is Lula's designated political heir.

Rather than see the plane crash death of Campos as just another in a series of CIA elimination of Brazilian leaders who threaten U.S. hegemony over the hemisphere, Aecio Neves, whose own father may have fallen victim to CIA poisoning, stands ready to propel Silva, someone with the familiar Soros pedigree of "civil society" championing and foreign "donor" funding, into the presidency of Brazil. Such an occurrence would drive a stake deep into the heart of the BRICS alliance and its new development bank, as well as sound the klaxon for a resumption of U.S. domination of Latin America through puppet leaders approved by Wall Street.

It is a familiar story for the CIA, which has promoted the off-spring of leaders it suppressed, overthrew, and even assassinated in return for Faustian deals with the U.S. military-intelligence-financial complex. Other examples are the austerity-supporting George Papandreou of Greece who was nothing like his father, the anti-NATO leftist Andreas Papandreou, imprisoned after the CIA Greek coup in 1967, and Martin Torrijos, the pro-U.S. former president of Panama and the son of the Panamanian nationalist leader Omar Torrijos, killed in a CIA-engineered plane crash in 1981. For the CIA, Latin America is seen as a continent where blood is not thicker than water, as witnessed most recently by the opportunism of Aecio Neves.

The CIA archived article also expresses the CIA's angst over Soviet understanding that the agency's greatest reservoir of support in Brazil came from the "estimated 15,000 retired army officers . . . currently employed in state-owned companies." In other countries, including Venezuela and Mexico, the CIA has always viewed retired and often, U.S.-trained, military officers serving in para-statal companies as a recruiting ground for fifth columnists. A number of retired military CIA coup plotters were successfully recruited from Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), the COMIBOL tin mining company of Bolivia, CENTROMIN copper company in Peru, and Petrobras in Brazil.

Note: WMR's coverage of the suspicious nature of the plane crash that killed Campos is receiving wide coverage in the Brazilian media and we have received a number of messages from Brazilian journalists and bloggers thanking us for our reports on the circumstances surrounding the plane crash that has tipped the Brazilian presidential election on its head.

More questions than answers in Brazilian plane crash by Wayne Madsen

More questions than answers in Brazilian plane crash

by Wayne Madsen
The August 13 crash of the Cessna 560XLS Citation aircraft, tail number PR-AFA, in Santos, Brazil, which killed pro-business Brazilian Socialist Party presidential candidate Eduardo Campos, his aides, and the crew, has raised more questions among Brazilian investigators and the general public. Since its introduction in 1996, the plane has enjoyed a perfect safety record. The sudden death of Campos upended the Brazilian presidential election campaign in a manner that may benefit the United States and the Central Intelligence Agency's long-range agenda for Latin America.

Disturbing questions are being raised about the ownership of the aircraft. The plane's murky record of ownership and registration, along with the lack of cockpit voice recordings thanks to an apparent malfunction in the plane's cockpit voice recorder, has a number of Brazilians wondering whether the plane was sabotaged by the United States. Rather than containing a recording of Campos's flight, the recorder had the voice recordings from a previous flight.

The plane was en route from Rio de Janeiro-Santos Dumont Airport to Guaruja when it crashed in a residential area of Santos.

The plane was operated by AF Andrade Enterprises and Holdings, which is based in Ribeirão Preto in Sao Paulo state, but leased from Cessna Finance Export Corporation, a division of Textron, a major U.S. defense and intelligence contractor, which also owns Cessna. The malfunctioning cockpit voice recorder was manufactured by another U.S. defense and intelligence contractor, L-3 Communications. AF Andrade's business is centered around its ownership of a distillery. A spokesman for AF Andrade said the $9 million aircraft had not been recently inspected but stressed that it had a perfect maintenance record.

However, the spokesman for AF Andrade could not specifically state who owned the aircraft but admitted that it, likely the lease, was up for sale and had recently been purchased by a group of "factory owners and importers" from Pernambuco. Campos was a former governor of Pernambuco.

The purchasers turned out to be a consortium that included Bandeirantes Tires, Ltd. The tire company said that negotiations on transferring ownership were ongoing when the plane crashed and that Cessna Finance Export Corporation had not yet approved the final leasing rights. Brazilian observers believe the Cessna that crashed was a "ghost plane," with murky ownership in order to cover up the plane's use for covert operations involving the CIA.

Et tu Marina? Eduardo Campos [left] and his vice presidential, now presidential, candidate Marina Silva [right].

Since Campos's death, he has been replaced on the ticket by former Green Party presidential candidate Marina Silva, who is a darling of the George Soros-financed and directed globalization and "civil society" movement. Silva, who is a pro-Israeli adherent of the Assemblies of God pentecostal movement church, is much more pro-business and pro-American than incumbent President Dilma Rousseff of the Brazilian Workers' Party. Rousseff recently, along with her fellow BRICS leaders from Russia, India, China, and South Africa, created a new development bank that challenges the supremacy of the U.S.-run World Bank.

Silva, who may be enjoying more than a sympathy vote, recently gained in polls against Rousseff. The Brazilian president is seen by Washington as an adversary, especially after details were leaked by Edward Snowden of massive National Security Agency surveillance of the Brazilian president.

If Rousseff were forced into a run-off with Silva as either first or second-place finisher in the first round, Aecio Neves, of the conservative Social Democratic Party has stated he would endorse Silva if he comes in third. The political arithmetic could then spell trouble for Rousseff, who would have likely glided to victory had it not been for Silva's advancement to the head of the Socialist Party ticket.  Silva's vice presidential running mate is Beto Albuquerque, whose "civil society" credentials in consumer and human rights protection indicates a Soros "upbringing."


The Campos-Silva math didn't work for the globalists, so they eliminated Campos to make way for Silva.

The current polls for the October 5 first round is Rousseff with 36% of the vote, Silva with 21%, and Neves with 20%. However, with Neves out of the race in a second round, polls show Silva beating Rousseff 47% to 43%.

The favorable outcome for Silva as a result of the possible aerial assassination of Campos and his aides has many suspicious about the CIA's role in the plane crash, especially after CIA fingerprints were discovered on presidential aerial assassinations of Panamanian President Omar Torrijos and Ecuadorian President Jaime Roldos in 1981. Just this past February, the presidential helicopter normally used by Ecuadorian president Rafael Correa, a strong opponent of Washington's policies and an ally of Rousseff, crashed in the mountains on a flight from Guayaquil to Quito. Correa's personal pilot was killed in the crash. Correa, who was addressing a campaign rally at the time of the crash, stressed that he was not scheduled to be on the flight of the Indian-made Dhruv helicopter. However, the suspicion of CIA sabotage could not be suppressed among the Ecuadorian population.

Silva is being touted as Brazil's "Third Way" candidate. Third Way is an international movement that has been used by corporate politicians, many of them financed by Soros, to infiltrate and take over historically pro-labor, socialist, and progressive parties. The Third Ways' most notable politicians include Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, Germany's Gerhard Schroeder, Canada's Justin Trudeau, Italy's Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and former Prime Minister Romeo Prodi, Portugal's Jose Socrates, Israel's Ehud Barak, and officials of the Brazilian Socialist, Green, and Social Democratic Parties, including Silva, Neves, the late Eduardo Campos, and former President Fernando Henrique Cardoso. However, when it becomes advantageous to assassinate one Third Wayer in order to promote another one, there is no problem to eliminate someone like Campos in order to make way for a more popular (and controlled) politician like Silva, especially when the interests of Israel are at stake.

One Brazilian blog, Ocafezinho, has written the following about WMR's report on the possible aerial assassination of Campos and the conspiracy behind it:

"The only conspiracy theory that makes sense involves the name of MarinaSilva. So if some idiot (or genius, you never know) wants to promoteconspiracy theories [a reference to current theories in Brazil that Rousseff was somehow behind the Cessna crash], I reproduce below a wonderfulreference:

It is an article written by Wayne Madsen, investigative journalist and a blogger who has become a leading expert on conspiracy theories in the United States. He is respected by groups of the left and right. Dozens of important sites often publishes his articles. He is constantly interviewed byseveral TV channels.

According to Madsen, the death of Campos and the rise of Marina may involve a plan orchestrated by American billionaires, with goal of defeatingDilma Rousseff, whose defense of national sovereignty is seen as a hindrance to the imperial interests of the United States and internationalspeculators."

The plane carrying Brazilian centrist, pro-business presidential candidate Eduardo Campos and his closest advisers, which crashed on August 13 into a residential area of Santos, Brazil, did not have a flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder, manufactured by a major U.S. National Security Agency contractor, was tampered with.

Campos was the candidate of the formerly leftist but now "pro-business" Brazilian Socialist Party. As with the British, Australian, and New Zealand Labor Parties, the Canadian Liberal and New Democratic Parties, and the U.S. Democratic Party, corporate and Zionist interests infiltrated the Brazilian Socialist Party and transformed it into a "Third Way" pro-business party.

It is clear that since disclosures of NSA spying on the e-mail and phones of incumbent Brazilian Workers' Party President Dilma Rousseff and her ministers, Rousseff's resultant cancellation of a state visit to Washington, and Brazil's hosting of Russian President Vladimir Putin and other BRICS economic bloc leaders, the United States has been trying to destabilize Brazil. The State Department and the CIA have been looking for weak links in Rousseff's Brazil to create the same conditions of instability they have fomented in other countries in Latin America, including Venezuela, Ecuador, Argentina, and Bolivia. However, Rousseff, who antagonized Washington by announcing in Brazil the establishment of a Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa (BRICS) development bank to compete with the U.S.- and European Union-controlled World Bank, looked unbeatable for re-election with Campos at the head of the Socialist Party ticket. That was the case until August 13 when Campos and his advisers were killed in the crash of their Cessna 560XL, killing all on board.

The crash advanced to the head of the Socialist Party presidential ticket Campos's vice presidential running mate, Marina Silva. In 2010, Silva received a surprising 20 percent of the vote for president as the Green Party candidate. Rather than run as the Green candidate this year, Silva opted to join Campos's pro-business ticket. Silva is now seen as the Socialist Party's best chance to defeat Rousseff for president in the October election. Silva, an evangelical Christian in a largely Roman Catholic country, is also seen as close to the global "civil society" infrastructure of "controlled opposition" groups financed by hedge fund master manipulator George Soros. As a leader of Brazil's Amazon rain forest protection efforts, Silva has been lauded by environmental groups funded by Soros's Open Society Institute. Silva's campaign rhetoric is rife with such Soros code phrases as "sustainable society," "knowledge society," and "diversity."

NSA/Soros handiwork may be involved with this plane crash scene from Sao Paulo state, Brazil.

Silva marched with the Brazilian team at the opening ceremonies of the 2012 Olympics in London. Brazilian Sports Minister Aldo Rebelo said that Silva's participation in the Olympics was approved by the British royal family and that she "always had good relations with the European aristocracy."

Silva is also more moderate than Rousseff on Israel's policies toward Palestine. As an Assemblies of God Pentecostal Christian, Silva is a member of a denomination that provides core membership for the worldwide movement of "Christian Zionists," who are as avidly as pro-Israel as the more strident Zionistic Jewish organizations, such as B'nai B'rith and the World Jewish Congress.

The Assemblies of God believe the following about Israel:
"According to Scripture, Israel has an important role to play in the end-times. For centuries Bible scholars pondered over the prophecy of a restored Israel. 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land.' When the modern nation of Israel was founded in 1948, and Jews began returning from all around the world, Bible scholars knew that God was at work and that we were very likely living in the last days."

In 1996, Silva was awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize, which was established by Goldman Insurance Company founder Richard Goldman and his wife Rhoda Goldman, an heir to the Levi Strauss clothing company fortune. In 2010, Silva was named by Foreign Policy magazine, edited by David Rothkopf, a former managing director of Kissinger Associates, to its list of "top global thinkers."

The full details of the cause of Campos's plane crash may never be known. Assisting in the investigation of the crash is the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Federal Aviation Administration. NTSB and FAA investigators will assuredly be in-briefed and out-briefed by CIA officials stationed in Brasilia who will be eager to have a conclusion of "tragic accident" stamped on the final crash report.

The CIA has managed to cover up its involvement in other Latin American aircraft crashes that have eliminated opponents of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. On July 31, 1981, Panamanian President Omar Torrijos was killed when his Panamanian Air Force plane crashed near Penonomé, Panama. After George H  W Bush's invasion of Panama in 1989, the Panamanian plane crash investigation documents held by the Panamanian government of General Manuel Noriega were reportedly seized by American military personnel and they disappeared.

Two months before Torrijos was killed, Ecuadorian President Jaime Roldos, a populist leader who stood up to the United States, was killed when his Super King Air plane, operated as a VIP aircraft by the Ecuadorian Air Force, crashed intoHuairapungo Mountain in Loja Province. The plane also carried the First Lady of Ecuador and the Defense Minister and his wife. They were all killed in the crash. The plane lacked a Flight Data Recorder, also known as a "black box." The Zurich, Switzerland police conducted their own investigation that discovered the official Ecuadorian government investigation was seriously flawed. For example, the Ecuadorian government report on the crash failed to mention that the
plane's engines were disabled before the aircraft plowed into the side of the mountain. 

As with Roldos’s plane, Campos’s Cessna did not have a "black box" flight data recorder. Moreover, the Brazilian Air Force announced that two hours of audio from the cockpit voice recorder on board Campos’s Cessna do not reflect the conversations between the pilot, co-pilot, and ground control on August 13. The cockpit voice recorder on board the ill-fated Cessna 560XL was manufactured by L-3 Communications, Inc. of New York City. L-3 is a major U.S. intelligence contractor that provides the National Security Agency with much of its undersea cable tapping capabilities through an NSA agreement with L-3’s Global Crossing subsidiary.

Although Brazilian presidential hopeful Campos was no enemy of the United States, his suspicious death a few months before the presidential election and replacement with a darling of the George Soros infrastructure, now poses an electoral threat to Rousseff, who is most definitely considered by Washington as an enemy. The U.S. and Soros have been looking for various ways to penetrate and disrupt the BRICS nations. The Soros/CIA attempt to advance Chinese Politburo member Bo Xilai into the Chinese presidency collapsed when he and his wife were arrested and jailed for corruption. With Russia and South Africa off-limits for any similar intrigue, India and Brazil are the focus for CIA and Soros disruption of BRICS. Although Narendra Modi's right-wing government in India is new, the early signs for BRICS disruption are encouraging. For example, India's Foreign Minister, Sushma Swaraj, as an outspoken and committed ally of Israel. Brazil under Rousseff is seen by the CIA and Soros as the best opportunity to insert one of their own, in this case, Marina Silva, into the leadership of a BRICS nation in order to exact a "Trojan horse" attack on the increasingly important economic bloc.

The plane crash that killed Eduardo Campos advanced a George Soros-funded operative closer to the Alvorada presidential palace in Brasilia.
