At the same time, DEA agents in West Africa were investigating the suspicious flow of thousands of used cars from U.S. dealerships to car parks in Benin.
Just pinging a few random names who might know something or remember about this, not leaving anyone out just too early in the AM to find/spell names...
Later today I will do some searching for the details on this.
Regarding Q’s posting of 0bola in some mohammedan outfit, IIRC two photos, and that they have one of him in “tribal gear with an AK-47” (or words to that effect), I started wondering last night in bed where were the photos taken?
When 0bola was at Occidental, a fellow student named John Drew (IIRC) knew him pretty well, and during the campaign wrote a rather detailed article about his memories, maybe it was an interview. It was on the 0bola research threads.
0bola was tight with foreign students and always hung out with a Pakistani guy, (not the Siddiq in NYC), but the son of some Paki VIP. Can’t remember the Paki’s name, but initials were M.C. Choo last name??? Paki son of a VIP was wealth and 0bola was sharp dressed, appeared to be “taken care of” by said Paki.
At some point either during his time at Occi or right after, Choo the Paki took 0bola to Paki for an extended visit. Maybe that’s where the tribal gear comes into play.
This was not described in “Dreams from My Father”, the fake autobiography ghost written by Bill Ayers. Once during the campaign, IIRC it was then, 0bola was talking to reporters and mentioned being in Paki, when he was questioned about not having foriegn policy/travel experience. He said that he had been in Paki, and they were all surprised. He forgot that the Paki trip was not in his “autobiography”.
I’ll look up more details later.
There may be some Awan connection here as well.
