Background
Barry Seal was an ace pilot and drug smuggler of such proportions that he has been called "the biggest drug smuggler in American History".[1]
Gerry Hemming claims that Barry Seal was a member of covert CIA assassination squad, Operation 40 in the early 1960s. Hemming told Daniel Hopsicker: "Yeah, Barry was Op 40. He flew in killer teams inside the island (Cuba) before the invasion to take out Fidel."[2] Daniel Hopsicker suggests that "Barry Seal flew a getaway plane out of Dallas after JFK was killed."[3][4]
1972 Arrest and Consequent Mistrial
On 1st July, 1972 in New Orleans, Barry Seal was arrested together with James Miller, Richmond Harper, Marlon Hagler and Murray Kessler. They were accused of sending C4 explosives to anti-Castro Cubans in Mexico. A DC-4 was seized at the Shreveport Regional Airport loaded with almost seven tons of plastic C-4 explosives, 7,000 feet of explosive primer cord and 2,600 electric blasting caps. The DC-4 was owned by James Boy, a known associate of the CIA. Boy's aircraft were later used to fly Oliver North's mercenaries in and out of Honduras. The man who organized the entrapment of Seal and his friends was Cesario Diosdado, an official with the United States Customs.
Nearly two years later, in June, 1974, Seal was brought to trial. However, government prosecutors promptly introduced into evidence an automatic weapon that was unrelated to the charges against the defendants, resulting in a mistrial. Seal and his fellow defendants were released.[5]
1986 Assassination
On February 19, 1986, Barry Seal was shot dead in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in front of a branch of the Salvation Army on Airline Highway (U.S. 61), where he was required to stay as a condition of his plea bargain.
Official Narrative
The official narrative is that Seal gunned down by Colombians in a Medellin cartel hit.
Alternative Explanation
Robert Morrow reports that Seal’s lawyer Lewis Unglesby stated that Barry Seal was threatening to testify against Vice President George Herbert Walker Bush if Bush didn't move to get the IRS off his back. Morrow suggests that Seal knew too much, so George H. W. Bush arranged to have him killed. Bush's personal phone number was found on Seal's body.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag;
