    I think they’re making a mountain out of a mole hill personally but after living here for eleven years, I’m smart enough to know that I’m not smart enough to know what could happen…

    Borrowing its war plan against the Sandinista government of Nicaragua from Ronald Reagan, George H W Bush, and Oliver North, the Obama administration has given a green light to two neighbors of Nicaragua — Costa Rica and Honduras — to ratchet up tensions on their borders with Nicaragua.

    On October 18, 2010, WMR reported: “Costa Rican police and DIS personnel are allegedly involved in the cross-border [drug] trafficking. Currently, a Colombian bank is being used to buy up land along the Costa Rican-Nicaraguan border ostensibly for “tourist” purposes but the $2 billion project is designed to establish staging areas for renewed Contra warfare in Nicaragua if the Sandinistas remain in power beyond the 2011 election. The US private military contractor Dyncorp is also involved in providing assistance to the Contras using the cover of ‘humanitarian assistance.'”

    On October 28, Nicaragua accused Costa Rica of staging cross border raids by Costa Rican paramilitary police into Nicaraguan territory. Costa Rica has been warning Nicaragua against dredging the San Juan River inside Nicaraguan territory. Costa Rica, which fancies itself as an ecological “green haven,” claims the dredging of the river is causing environmental damage. But as WMR previously reported, Costa Rica, which is backed by George Soros “civil society” agents of influence, as well as Israeli intelligence agents, is trying to paint Nicaragua as an aggressive destroyer of the environment.

    On November 1, Costa Rica claimed that Nicaraguan troops had taken up position on Calero island in the San Juan River and which is claimed by both countries. Nicaragua claims that its troops are in the area to control drug trafficking from Costa Rica, which WMR previously reported involved Costa Rican police and intelligence personnel. In a statement published by The Washington Post, Nicaraguan Army chief of staff General Julio Aviles confirmed WMR’s previous report stating the drug trafficking from Costa Rica is controlled by an ex-patriate Nicaraguan family operating from San Jose, the Costa Rican capital.

    WMR has also learned that the paramilitary operatives operating out of Costa Rica, including CIA and Mossad agents, are now looking at extending their destabilization operations into El Salvador, now governed by the leftist Farabundo Marti Liberation Front government of President Mauricio Funes, an ally of Ortega in Nicaragua. The tactic being used by the Chinchilla-Lieberman regime in San Jose is the same as that being used against Nicaragua: flood El Salvador with cocaine to increase drug gang warfare and instability.

    Most of the drug smuggling from Costa Rica into Nicaragua and El Salvador is being conducted by Russian-Israeli mafiosi figures operating under diplomatic cover at the Israeli embassy in San Jose. Others officially operate in San Jose as “Russian Martial Arts” trainers, however, they are actually Israeli Defense Force “Krav Maga” trainers.

    One of the Mossad suspects, now wanted by INTERPOL, in the assassination of a Palestinian official in Dubai was suspected of making death threats and engaging an an attempted kidnapping in Costa Rica but the Costa Rican government declined prosecution. The Israeli suspect’s false identity in the Dubai assassination is Kevin Daveron, born 2/2/1972, Ireland Passport 980975, alias Jonathan Lewis Graham (stolen identity from a United Kingdom passport.

    Ex-Israeli commandos operating in Costa Rica with the blessing of Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman (not known to be a relation to Costa Rica’s pro-Zionist Vice President Luis Lieberman Ginsburg; Avigdor hails from Moldova while Luis is of Polish descent) operate under the cover of the Mossad-linked security firm Bitajon Shar, which has been connected, according to WMR’s Central American sources, to the destabilization efforts on the Costa Rican borders with Nicaragua and El Salvador.

    Bitajon Shar has also been described as a Mossad pass-through to infiltrate Israeli security personnel into the counter-narcotics apparatuses of Colombia and Mexico, as well as Costa Rica.

    On October 18, WMR reported on the Israeli involvement with drug smuggling into Nicaragua: “In Honduras and Costa Rica, customs officials now look the other way as Israeli private security personnel, mostly ex-Israeli commandos, guard half length trucks without license plates that are moving drugs and weapons from Honduras and Costa Rica into Nicaragua to support the new Contras gearing up to fight the Sandinistas prior to next year’s election.

    Key border crossing points for the Israelis are in the Peñas Blancas National Park of Costa Rica and Cardenas, Nicaragua on Lake Nicaragua. The Penas Blancas area was a hotbed of Contra activity during the Reagan administration’s secret war against Nicaragua. On the Nicaraguan-Honduran border, an ex-Contra named ‘Comandante Jahob’ is planning to start an armed conflict against Nicaragua if Ortega does not leave office next year. Commandante Jahob, whose real name is José Gabriel Garmendia, is reportedly acting along with CIA and Mossad commandos in Honduras and with the knowledge of the Honduran regime imposed by the Obama administration last year. Old CIA bases in Honduras that once supported the Contras in the 1980s, are reportedly being reactivated.”

    Borders schmorders.

    I don’t know about anyone else, but I’d be quite happy if Google Earth would update their CR “Earth” Maps.

    The one I use to view my new home site is several years out of date and quite useless! 😉

    Other than that, may I suggest erecting a very strong fence? I know some Chinese & East Germans who are quite experienced in this sort of construction.

    The Google Map of the San Ramon, Palmares, Naranjo area is a detailed photograph unlike much of the rest of the country. I have no idea what date it was taken but it has proved helpful to me.

    When you are using Google Earth, look down at the lower left, the date there tells you when it was updated. Ours, Ciudad Colon, is April 9, 2009

    This article was in todays, (Sunday), La Nacion. It gives some background about Costa Rica/Nicaragua/Sandinista/Ortega/Pastora relationships and the recent Nica invasion and their justification of outright agresion. It is in Spanish of cource but Google translator should make it at least somewhat understandable. Hope this link works for you.

    I don’t…

    As the editor so eloquently expressed in this morning’s newsletter

    “Today anyone can have a web site and publish whatever they wish. That’s great for free expression. But sensible people ought to recognize what is drivel and what is not.”

    according to a guy who owns one of these self-defense training schools, the entire article is riddled with falsitites, innuendo, and vicious gossip.

    Israel Deputy FM: Iran-Venezuela ties threaten U.S., entire world

    http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/deputy-fm-iran-venezuela-ties-threaten-u-s-entire-world-1.330419

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    “Last month, sources in Latin America told Haaretz that a border incident between Costa Rica and Nicaragua, and military pressure placed on Costa Rica, a country without an army, are the first step in a plan formulated by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega, with funding and assistance from Iran, to create a substitute for the strategically and economically important Panama Canal.

    The plan has aroused concern in Washington, and the U.S. has begun behind the scenes efforts to foil such a move.

    Sources in Latin America consider these events, and the power demonstrated by Nicaragua, as a trial balloon by the creators of the “New Canal Plan” – Venezuela, Iran and Nicaragua. Western intelligence agencies are closely following the path of heavy machinery equipment to Nicaragua as well as the activities of Iranians in the Nicaraguan capital Managua.”

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Does anybody actually believe any of this above and this – “The deputy foreign minister said that Iran was the main problem threatening world peace…” to be true?

    I always consider possible motivations and biases of any information source. I am no engineer so I haven’t a clue as to the feasibility of creating a coast to coast canal in that region. But if it is economically viable, Ortega would be insane to invite that kind of controversy into the region. I can think of nothing more likely to invoke another yanqui incursion. And who would be there to stop it? Is it possible that Israeli and American propaganda is at work here as a way to justify another invasion into Central America AND Iran? Two invasions for the price of one lie. What a deal!
