More backgound on the drug fueled wars

Near as I can find the A/C was a locally built Eurocopter EC 135 variant. EC135 = (about) Bell JetRanger.
Thanks. I’ve already wondered about the Olympic assignment to Brazil. I think it’ll prove to be a mistake for everyone involved.
Wow, when they say war on drugs down there they aren’t kidding.
That’s immediately what I thought of when I read this. Great movie BTW, if not extremely disturbing.
Brazil has perfected the art of the Gated Community. And the uber rich never set foot on an urban street, ever. They take private helicopters from the roofs of downtown buildings to their ranches. The higher up you go on the food chain, the less you see or care about the poor or the criminals.
And Brazil is our future.
The federal government will force section 8 housing into any large gated community in this country. May be safer to move to Brazil, ahem.
Just think of the Kennedy Kompound in Hyannisport, and the various Rhode Island sized “ranches” owned by the likes of Ted Turner. That’s the model.
Don’t worry, Hugo Chavez’s buds are doing better than ever in Venezuela. You just have to support El Supremo. Think Hollywood.
Had an uncle in Korea who said he watched a medivac chopper flying over and a North Korean fired one shot, it went through the bubble, hit the pilot square in the head and the chopper went down. Pilot dead and the 3 injured guys he was flying out dead, 1 in the chopper and 2 on the skids. Chopper was at about 800 feet. Uncle said they caught the guy, dragged him to the crash site and shot him dead there. Guess they didn’t take a liking to guys shooting at medivac choppers.
Ted Turner owns more private land in the US than any other person
I saw Ted being interviewed once and the only thing I remember was his answer when he was asked what was the purpose of his 10,000 acre compound somewhere in Patagonia. He said laughingly, "That's where I'll go when the revolution begins."
A search reveals this about Ted and Patagonia.
Ted’s “land rich” but unless they develop cryogenics, he’ll be worm food too soon to see the revolution on CNN.
Classic example of what is called “The Magic BB”.
our future here likely
