Irish 'involved' in Bolivia 'assassination attempt'

[El Libre]

Utopian Hermit Monk posted a sinister logo relating to 'Operation Solitaire Shield' in message 1654, and here now is a perhaps even more disturbing image relating to 'Operation Glengad Beach':



The artwork is unmistakably neo-Nazi and while the assimilation of the Shell logo to a death's head is apparently meant as a compliment, the PR department must be aghast at the prospect of having to explain the firm's employment of right-wing extremists to control the unruly Mayo natives. It would not be unreasonable to consider that the inscriptions on these security 'souvenirs' give away not only the ethos but also the official operational names of stages of the Shell Corrib Gas Project. Again the link to Tibor 'Photosniper' Revesz of Szekler Legion fame is clear, as these items are part of the paraphernalia formerly on sale at his Szekler portal webshop at http://photosniper.freedom.hu/aruhaz, currently 'down for maintenance'.

While incriminating websites are being frantically pulled in the wake of the Bolivian killings, quite a lot of material is still fortunately accessible online via Google cache. Before the content lapses entirely try Googling "operation glengad beach" and note in the second entry the string 'Alpha Ardal Charlie Cahil Delta Donagh Echo Ennis Foxtrot Fiachra Kilo Kathel IRMS I-RMS', which speaks volumes. Photosniper was probably encouraged to delete these online indiscretions pronto, and indeed as already noted here he has removed references to his employment by Integrated Risk Management Services. The website of IRMS or I-RMS itself has been offline for a week, but the current Phoenix has revealed that references to 'special services' and 'international armed and unarmed security' have been or are in the process of being removed. Someone with military knowledge may be able to confirm that the Irish terms listed above are used for communications and identification in the Irish army.

This brings us to the intriguing use of Gaelic by the Hungarian Revesz's group, Foireann Ardal, Foireann Fiachra and so on. Are these merely the names of paintball and airsoft teams or do they connote something more sinister? Certainly there is a growing body of evidence to indicate that Foireann Cahil at least (motto 'By honour and pride') may have been the name of the paramilitary unit, including it would seem the unfortunate Michael Dwyer (RIP), which was led to destruction in Bolivia by the unstable 'National Anarchist', for which read neo-Nazi, Eduardo Rosza Flores.

I don't know about ''unmistakeably neo-Nazi''. Do you mean in a devious, vaguely hippy gothy way ? Maybe so.

That death's head Shell logo I think has it's origins in the anti-Shell movement. Think I saw it on a protestor placard. If so, it's probably Fascist-Ironic humour. Gob********************es.

The use of Irish is interesting alright. Tactically, it would confuse as much as it would clarify.

Also, earlier in this thread, there was an illustration of a triskele in green-white-orange, with a red white and blue triangle, and a red and white circle.

At first I thought the white-over-red of the circle had a Polish flag connection. Are there far-right Poles in Ireland who may be doing security work ? A near certainty I'd say.

The sniper rifle or deer hunting gun is suitable for hiting targets over 1000 metres away. Look at the length of the barrel and the 50mm scope. Its certainly a suitable assasination weapon. The weapon is far superior to the rifle used to kill JFK.
There is a good article here Lilja Precision Rifle Barrels - Articles: Long Range Shooting and Hunting: Page 1 on that type of weapon.
That Mchael was comfortable in the presence of this weapon and these people says a lot about his so called innocence.

Any protest of innocence on the part of Dwyer is growing increasingly ridiculous at this point. The overwhelming weight of evidence supports what some of us suspected all along and shatters the ridiculous arguments offered by groupies and the attempted coverups by lazy or agenda-driven journalists.

I totally agree with you.

If I read one more phrase like "the unfortunate Dwyer" or "Maybe he didn't realise" I will puke all over my keyboard.

Unfortunate my bollóx. He taught he was tough, he was shown that he was not. Tough titty!

As for the maybe he did not know. If he was that fúcking stupid he would have forgotten to eat and died of starvation.

Incidentallythe mysterious witness and source of the video is probably Mario Tadic or Francisco Astorga (alternate Name) who suffers from Diabetes. Obviously his insulin would have got mixed up after his arrest leading to his illness.

[lostexpectation]

Here, as at blogs and message boards in South America and elsewhere, this episode is being manipulated and spun by both the political right and left. Obviously, some Bolivian newspapers and tv/radio stations have links to the Santa Cruz oligarchy, and their coverage should be treated with great caution. But other Bolivian media have links with the Government, and their coverage is just as partisan.

In a polarized situation like this, where even geopolitical interests are at stake, news coverage becomes a propaganda weapon, for both sides. Ideally, it would help to know which side a particular media source or internet blog happens to support.

and you're neutral?, who da ******************** are you? trying to suggest he didn't know what _he_ was up to is ignoring all evidence so far. i don't need to quote it back at you.

I notice, for example, that several of the recent recruits to p.ie, who are posting almost exclusively on this thread, appear to be South American. At least one, Ih8politics (23 posts), who posted the photo of Toaso in the Buganvilla Hotel, along with a helpful comparative photo of a room from the same hotel, appears to be the author of the blog 'Okrim Opina', and has another blog entitled 'Socialist Bloggers of Venezuela'. I say this because 'Okrim Opina' posted the very same photo of Toaso and the very same link to the very same photo of the Buganvilla Hotel (from the Trip Advisor site) at the Bolivian blog, 'Aullidos de la calle'.

so what, the photos match the hotel, what more is there to say?

This guy photographed here, supposedly with Dwyer, I believe was up at Glengad on Good Friday. Don't think this has been posted here yet, a video from that day, It seems to be him, the video is good quality. does anyone care to take a look? I am speaking of the 'securi-type' under the protection of one Jim Farrell from the middle towards the end of the video, its fairly obvious anyway.

To summarise, and add some more information:

An advertisement was put on the internet by Tibor Revesz calling for interested persons to go to Bolivia. Revesz works for IRMS in Ireland, on the Shell pipleline site where he worked with Dwyer. He is also a head man in the Szekely Legion, a separatist Hungarian group operating in Romania and Croatia. The Legion is said to include about 70 ex servicemen. He has trained with the IBSS security group who are in turn linked via a shared boss to the Hungarian Knights of Malta (not the regular order who would operate here). The Knights claim (without legitimacy) rights as a State - diplomatic representation in particular and are representing one of the Croations who was arrested.

About 15 people travelled with Revesz to Bolivia and Dwyer stayed on.

The Croation connection in Bolivia is Marinkovich, from an Ustache facist family. Marinkovic and the movement of which he is part has been backed by the US. The US ambassador was recently expelled from Bolivia for subversion. Marinkovic's family seems to have appropriated large stretches of mineral-wealthy Santa Cruz. He is also a very major shareholder in the petroleum gas firm Transrede SA, which is a Shell/Enron partnership. The US government has invested heavily into Enron's activities. Shell's interests in Bolivia have recently been nationalised by the Bolivian Government.

Marinkowitz, major share holder in Transrede SA (former Member of the Board) is the founder of the Comite por Santa Cruz. This Committee, according to Rosza Flores, invited him to Bolivia to set up a militia to fight for autonomy. The Committee incorporates the Bolivia Chamber of Hydrocarbons. It is assumed in most Bolivian blogs that Marinkowic is behind the Rosza Flores group or at least that it would have been impossible for them to operate without his approval.

Until otherwise clarified, the possibility that by an ironic coincidence, Michael Dwyer was in some sense of other still working for Shell when he died, can't be ruled out.
This article is written by a Bolivian lawyer. It analyses the implications of illegal draft legislation for autonomy of Santa Cruz.

http://66.102.9.132/translate_c?hl=en&i ... 11Pg4MvdYg

Here is one of several paragraphs that are enlightening in terms of the relationship between corporate interests (Transrede SA btw is an Enron/Shell Company) and the push for breaking up Bolivia by means of a Santa Cruz secession. It also talks about the environmental depradation of Bolivia by the petrochemical industry.

Chapter I, Title 2, relates the structure of Basic Skills and Application of the Law of Autonomy. There is included in the first place, the exclusive powers of the County Government to exercise the legislative, regulatory and executive function. Thus, the Bolivian State is expected to delegate almost all the powers set by the current Political Constitution of the State, including, it is the following: a) levels and modalities of education in all areas, b ) land, c) forest land and timber, d) alternative sources and biofuels.

This power of exclusive Départemental Government deserves special attention. The imperialist countries, multinationals ADM, Cargill, Bunge, Dreyfus, Monsanto, the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, the ZICOSUR, among others, argue amplifier capitalist accumulation at the expense of the environment, food and life, through biofuels.

In this regard, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Santa Cruz (ÇáÍÑÇÓ) and the Prefecture of Santa Cruz encouraged for some time and national legislation on the department in this matter. In addition, the Prefecture of Santa Cruz in 2007 had submitted its "invest" 14 million bolivianos [Bolivian currency] in three plants to test and produce biofuels such as biodiesel.

So out in the catalog of shared competence between the State and the Bolivian Government Autonomous County of Santa Cruz, natural resources, not natural according to the official would not be within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Department. The Bolivian Chamber of Hydrocarbons - part of the structure of the Civic Committee of Santa Cruz - and TRANSREDES (Enron-shell), among other multinational oil companies have participated actively in municipal councils that requested the departmental autonomy for the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra.

A video on Marinkowic - in Spanish, but the images tell most of the story.

Fascist group ‘worked as Shell guards’

THE Government is facing demands for an investigation into the employment of right wing eastern European paramilitaries as security guards at Shell construction sites in Co Mayo.

It has emerged that
members of the Szekler
Legion, a paramilitary group which recruits among young ethnic Hungarians in Romania, have worked as security guards at the Shell Corrib Gas Project construction sites in recent months.

Among them the Szekler Legion’s leader 32-year-old Romanian Hungarian Tibor Revesz who worked for
Integrated Risk Management Security (I-RMS) at the Mayo sites. There are indications other Szekler Legion members have worked in Ireland, with the organisation’s internet site selling patches associated with the Corrib project.

One patch, with a skull and Celtic motif carries the slogan “OSS — Operation Solitaire Shield 2008 Corrib Gas Project”, believed to
refer to the Solitaire ship which was to be used for pipe-laying at the site.

The Szekler Legion have been implicated in violent incidents in Romania. The group openly promotes neo-fascism and race hate.

Among the Szekler Legion’s members were Magyarosi Arpak and Elot Toazo. Arpak, 28, was shot dead by Bolivian security forces alongside Tipperary native Michael Dwyer, 24 in Bolivia. In the same operation Toazo was arrested.

The Bolivian government has accused the Tipperary man and his companions of planning terrorist attacks, including the assassination of the country’s socialist President Evo Morales. The gang’s leader Eduardo Rozsa
Flores, 48, was also killed in the raid. Flores was a neo-fascist activist and an “honorary member” of the Szekler Legion.


I-RMS refused to
comment on whether they had knowingly employed members of the Szekler
Legion. The company did state that Michael Dwyer worked for them until October 2008.

Sinn Féin Foreign Affairs spokesman Aengus Ó Snodaigh wants “an urgent state investigation into what these extremists have been doing in Mayo and whether proper security checks have been followed”.

He added: “If they are
issuing patches for so-called ‘operations’ in Ireland it is a very serious development.”

A postmortem was carried out on Michael Dwyer’s body yesterday following its
return from Bolivia last
Friday. His body is expected to be buried later this week.
