(15) Other evidence to support Jiggens's theory comes from Tony Reeve's book Mr Sin: The Abe Saffron Dossier (Allen & Unwin, 2007). Reeves provided evidence of how Frank Nugan had distributed marijuana from his Griffith packing shed, and how Sir Peter Abele's trucking company, Thomas Nationwide Transport (TNT), was used "to move -- along with huge volumes of legitimate cargoes -- large quantities of illegal drugs around Australia and the world." Reeves also drew attention to the close relations that existed between Abeles and the Nugan Hand Bank: information which is particularly significant because "Bela Csidei, Murray Riley's partner in the trans-Pacific drug trade, was well known as a front man for Abeles."

The TNT link is most intriguing. Plausibly deniable delivery services making massive profits. Hell, why bother with diplomatic pouches... Paying for Murdoch's propaganda - Magda Hassan - 08-10-2009 Most interesting Jan. Quote:Tony Reeves interviewed a TNT truck driver who told him that in the 1970s he regularly drove shipments down from the Nugan packing shed to the Flemington markets in Sydney. When he turned up at the Nugan packing shed, he would be given money and told to have a meal, and that his truck would be packed for him. He would come back to find the truck packed and the contents locked away behind a new padlock. The same scenario would play itself out at the Sydney markets; he would be given money, told to have a meal, and would come back to find the truck unloaded. Intrigued by this, he checked out the truck and found minute traces of marijuana. The truck driver estimated that his truck fully loaded would hold ten tones of cannabis.Very interesting. Paying for Murdoch's propaganda - Jan Klimkowski - 09-10-2009 Most interesting indeed, Magda. Maybe those TNT trucks had a special docking system for Air America planes..... :listen: Paying for Murdoch's propaganda - David Butler - 26-03-2010 It's starting...Anyone signed up yet ? :top: The Times and Sunday Times newspapers will start charging to access their websites in June, owner News International (NI) has announced. Users will pay £1 for a day's access and £2 for a week's subscription. The move opens a new front in the battle for readership and will be watched closely by the industry. NI chief executive Rebekah Brooks said it was "a crucial step towards making the business of news an economically exciting proposition". Both titles will launch new websites in early May, separating their digital presence for the first time and replacing the existing, combined site, Times Online. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8588432.stm Paying for Murdoch's propaganda - David Guyatt - 26-03-2010 Nope, and I don't plan to pay for the Times or any other online rag either. Perhaps, in the distant future if objective news reporting returns and is published without fear or favour then maybe. But since I doubt this will ever happen I'll have to rely on other means of gathering news - go offshore and leave the Treasure Island bandits to their own devices.

What, and miss all that fearless and oh-so-distinctive reportage and commentary? Where else, one wonders, can you find Charles Bore on politics ("SamCam's bump - will it make the difference?"); Virginia Scrote on living in the country ("who are these beastly people spreading muck in my fields?"); Lionel Pimms on life in America ("Many of these people drive on the wrong side of the road, but I forgive them"); Milton J. Fastbuck on economics ("Keynes was really far-out, if you know what I mean"); or Radek Fiasco on war ("the wedding party was really a gathering of transvestite Al-Qaeda"). Er, everywhere. On reflection, you're right, sod Murdoch and his pointless rags. |
