Nazi commander 'was CIA agent'  6/13/04 News 24, South Africa: "Niznansky is accused over the massacre of 146 people in two villages in modern-day Slovakia and later of ordering the execution of 18 Jews. He was arrested in January after a probe by Czech and Slovak officials. In its edition on sale on Monday, Focus said he collaborated with the CIA just after he recruited by the Czech secret service in 1947 to keep tabs on the communist opposition in Austria. He supplied the Americans with codenames, the addresses of safe houses and helped turn in enemy agents, according to the documents. Niznansky lived unnoticed for years in Munich where he used to work for Radio Free Europe until he obtained German citizenship in 1996. In early 1945, Niznansky was the commander of the Slovakian section of a Nazi unit codenamed Edelweiss that was tasked with hunting resistance fighters after an attempted uprising."

Richard Armitage: Foreign Narcotics Control Office 6/12/04 Conspiracy Planet: "And why is Armitage called 'Mr. Cocaine'? "The famous quote by Kerry Committee senior panel member Senator Daniel Inouye of Hawaii (D-Hawaii) should be noted. When Armitage was put under oath, he kept calling him "Mr. Cocaine" instead of "Mr. Secretary." I don’t think Inouye meant it as a joke. Armitage didn’t much like it."

Venezuelan Recall Is in Dispute Even Before the Vote  6/11/04 NYT: "Touch-screen voting machines, which have been plagued by security and reliability concerns in the United States, will be used in the recall vote on President Hugo Chávez, prompting his foes and foreign diplomats to contend that the left-leaning government may use the equipment to manipulate the vote."

Miami TV station invites terrorists to talk openly about planned attacks on Venezuela  6/11/04 Vheadlines: "Adding weight to recent accusations of Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez, former Venezuelan army captain Eduardo Garcia was also present in full uniform to discuss the help Comandos F4 were giving in his efforts to bring down Chavez by force. Chavez has frequently charged that Miami Cuban-American terrorist organizations are involved with Venezuelans seeking to assassinate him. The host of the Round Table program, Randy Alonso, simply asked viewers to form their own conclusions after seeing such an astonishing program, commenting that the message that Frometa gave was clear: his paramilitary organization was ready and trained -- it just needed the money. And, said Alonso, the money is there -- US$36 million recently earmarked by the US government to support such groups."
