[TD="colspan: 2"] La Paz, Apr 25 (Prensa Latina) Bolivia officially confirmed that Interpol detained today in Carrasco Airport, in Montevideo, Uruguay, businessman and lawyer Alejandro Melgar who is accused of financing a terrorist cell and expects his statement will help solve the case.

Government Minister Carlos Romero told Cadena A media from Beni Department of Melgarâ�Ös arrest while trying to flee to Brazil. He is member of the group of Hungarian-Bolivian terrorist Eduardo Rozsa-Flores, dismantled in Santa Cruz in 2009.

"Mr. Alejandro Melgar has been detained and we expect his statements will help explain the terrible aftermath of their terrorist actions, including separatism and assassinating the President," commented Romero.

His detention was carried out a few days after Bolivia asked the countries in the region to step up the search.

The attorney was financer for the Rózsa-Flores group who died in fire exchange at a hotel in Santa Cruz together with Hungarian Arpad Magyarosi and Irish Michael Dwyer.

Hungarian-Bolivian Elod Toazó and Bolivian-Croatian Mario Tadic were arrested at the hotel and are waiting for a trial in San Pedro jail, in La Paz.

A slimy puff piece from Irish corporate media. Other people have 'vested interests' and 'agendas'. Their innocent Irish boy just has adventures. I posted it to inform others about the new movie 'Bolivian Escape' that is broadcast soon.

Michael Dwyer was slain while seeking adventure

Wednesday, April 03, 2013
Michael Dwyer's death was used to further many agendas, writes Michael Clifford.



The killing of Michael Dwyer in 2009 was used by many vested interests to further their agendas.

In Bolivia, where Dwyer and two others were shot dead in the early hours of Apr 16, the government used the killings to up the ante against its political opponents.

In the weeks after the killings, dozens of opponents of socialist president Eva Morales were arrested, and many of them imprisoned. They were largely associated with a movement based around the city of Santa Cruz, which wants to secede from Bolivia over Morales's policies on natural resources in the area.

Back in Ireland, those who oppose the Shell development in Co Mayo only saw the killing of the 24-year-old Co Tipperary native as further proof of the forces of evil that congregated on Shell's side.

Dywer, from Ballinaderry, worked as a security guard at the site and was recruited to travel to Bolivia by a colleague some months before his killing. One of the two men killed in the same hotel room, Eduardo Rózsa-Flores, was a noted fascist.

For Dywer's family, the killing began a long quest for justice to find out what had happened to a son who never appeared to have a political bone in his body.

All of these angles are covered in the film made by Richie O'Donnell, Bolivian Escapade, which is to be broadcast tonight on Al Jazeera.

O'Donnell's last piece of work, The Pipe, followed the lives of the people opposed to Shell over a two-year period in his native Co Mayo. The film won a clutch of awards and was sold to 25 broadcasters around the world. RTÉ wasn't interested in that film, and also showed little interest in Bolivian Escapade.

What distinguished The Pipe was that it was very short on politics and commentary. This approach to telling a story in a neutral manner is also a feature of Bolivian Escapade, in which the facts are assembled and told by negotiating between all the various vested interests here, Romania, Hungary, and in the South American country.

What emerges is a picture of a young Irishman who, in the best traditions of the wandering impulse of the national psyche, went in search of a little adventure.

It was in filming The Pipe that O'Donnell realised he had captured footage of both Dwyer and his colleague, Tibor Revesz.

The latter man was an ethnic Hungarian with links to a separatist group, the Szeckler Legion, a far right separatist group which was concerned with the cessation of an ethnically Hungarian area of Romania.

Revesz conducted training courses, sometimes using the logo of the security firm both men worked for, IRMS. The company claims it had no knowledge or connection with Revesz's courses.

In any event, Revesz was recruiting for a linked group run by an associate of Eduardo Rozsa-Flores, a fascist who had fought in the Bosnian war and had since returned to his native Bolivia with dreams of fomenting conflict in Santa Cruz against the government.

Dwyer flew with Revesz to Santa Cruz on Nov 22, 2008, with his head full of dreams of adventure. Things didn't work out. The training course turned out to be little more than a long party and much horseplay with weapons.

If Dywer had been under the impression he was going to receive intensive training, that must have disappeared within weeks, but he simply went with the flow.

His colleague from IRMS in Mayo, Revesz, eventually went back to Ireland, having fallen out with Rozsa, a move that probably saved his life.

He returned to work in Mayo but soon after Dywer was killed he departed again, and has effectively gone to ground.

The group around Rozsa dwindled in the first months of 2009, and after a spell living rough, the group booked into a hotel in Santa Cruz. A few days after their arrival, the security forces burst in and shot them dead.

O'Donnell's film picks apart the government's claim that the men died after a gun battle.

According to Dwyer's mother, Caroline: "Michael was in bed in his underwear, asleep. The police burst in the door with a precise shot to his heart which killed him and while he was dead on the ground they shot him four more times in the back."

The film also interviews the hotel manager who disputes an official claim that Rozsa's car was used in a bomb attack on a cardinal's home the previous evening.

Rozsa and another man were also killed in the hotel room. Their final two associates were arrested, and are currently stuck in a legal process in which their trial has been halted because the prosecutor is accused of extortion.

Meanwhile, Christof Heyns, the UN's special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings, has repeatedly written to the Bolivian government looking forexplanations. In the latest missive, the rapporteur laid out again the pathological evidence of the shootings: "Without implying, in advance, any conclusions on the information received, I wish to reiterate my concern expressed in the previous communication sent on 19 Aug 2011 for the attention of the Government of Your Excellency, concerning allegations that the gunshot wounds observed in the body of Mr Dwyer indicate that several shots were fired while the deceased was already disabled."

For the Dwyer family, the questions about their son and sibling are still unanswered.

"Our lives have been on hold for last four years," said Caroline.

"We all grieve differently. It has changed our lives. It has become a big focus for us, trying to get justice for Michael."

Documentary filmmaking techniques are an area of deep personal and professional interest to me.

Extensive practical experience and reflection leads me to say, without any hesitation, that film rushes can be used to tell almost any story the filmmaker wants to tell.

It also leads me to say that the technique known as "fly on the wall", or pure observation without intervention by the filmmaker, is a fraud.

The view and perspective of the filmmaker is ALWAYS present in the final film.

"Neutral" filmmaking is a copout and lie.

Since this thread has been resurrected, I will add that in my personal opinion its evolution and the exposure of a neo-Gladio false flag assassination operation in Bolivia justify the creation and preservation of the Deep Politics Forum.

The thread has been viewed, on numerous occasions, by people directly involved in the planning, participation and suppression of the truth about this black operation.

[Jan Klimkowski]

The wikileaked cable refers to the link to CIA asset Scorpion-B, which was discussed earlier in this thread:

The body of the cable follows:
"Marcelo Soza, the prosecutor in charge of investigating the April 2009 Rozsa case, announced February 5 that a review of Rozsa's computer hard drive had uncovered evidence of email communication between Rozsa and an alleged ex-CIA employee (a U.S. citizen named Belovays). According to Soza, Belovays had been active in the Balkans wars, where he supposedly met Rozsa and became his mentor. An internet search on Belovays suggested that he has since died, Soza reported (Rozsa and two others were killed in a police raid; another two suspects are in custody). Soza claimed that Rozsa's computer files show that Rozsa was in constant contact with Belovays -- who, Soza said, is assumed to have been in Bolivia at some point -- and kept him informed of his group's activities and plans.
3.(SBU) Soza did not provide any details of the alleged exchanges between Rozsa and Belovays, nor characterized Belovays's role beyond asserting that the alleged former agent had been aware of Rozsa's conspiracy. The Bolivian press has so far reported the story straight, sticking strictly to Soza's account but featuring headlines such as, Soza Says CIA Knew Rozsa's Plans" and Rozsa Informed CIA Agent of Work.'
4.© Comment: Soza's initial claims may be limited in scope, but we expect that Bolivian government officials will not feel themselves similarly bound by actual evidence. For nearly a year, the GOB has maintained that Rozsa and his group represented a grave threat and that they were backed by enemies of President Morales (including prominent opposition and Santa Cruz civic leaders, who are increasingly the target of Soza's investigation). The Bolivian government is almost certain to seize upon this opportunity to link the U.S. empire' to the alleged conspiracy and substantiate Morales's wildest claims about American skullduggery."

Belovai/Scorpion-B termed himself "Hungary's first NATO soldier".

For me, that translates that as Hungary's first Gladio operative, with all that implies.
# Here's some material from post #239:

Ex-spy linked to mercenary case
Sunday, 21 February 2010
Eduardo Rozsa Flores, the ethnic Hungarian mercenary who was shot dead by a commando unit in Santa Cruz in April 2009, may have received financial support from an ex-CIA liaison officer, according to the Bolivian Prosecutor's Office. The accusation will be rather difficult to prove, however, as the CIA man in question, Istvan Belovai, passed away last November.

Hungarian-Bolivian-Croatian citizen Flores and two acquaintances were shot dead in suspicious circumstances after local police allegedly tried to apprehend them for conspiring to murder Bolivian President Evo Morales.

Belovai, who was one of the most prominent Hungarian spies, received a life sentence in 1985 for sending NATO documents to Russia with US approval and uncovering a spy ring within the military alliance. He received a partial pardon after the fall of communism, but fled to the US in fear of his life. He died in Colorado aged 71 in November.

According to Bolivian prosecutor Marcelo Sosa, Flores met Belovai - codename Scorpion B in the Balkans and later received technical and financial support from him for terrorist activities in the South American country.

Apparently the cooperation was revealed by examining computers seized by Bolivian police after the death of Rozsa-Flores. Investigators found several letters on one of the machines as well as documents suggesting the involvement in the conspiracy of at least ten other people, who will be questioned soon, Sosa told reporters.

Flores' acquaintances in Bolivia told the news portal hirszerzo.hu that the Hungarian had corresponded with Belovai, but said it was impossible that Flores had been working with the CIA. "Even if that were the case, he would not have used an agent who had been inactive for the last 25 years", they said.

http://www.budapesttimes.hu/index.php?op...&Itemid=26

This Belovai/Scorpion-B revelation is intriguing at many levels.

Firstly, the ethnic Hungarian Belovai/Scorpion-B was a double, perhaps triple, agent. And so important that he received sanctuary in Colorado, and even died a seemingly natural death in the good ole US of A.

Secondly, Belovai/Scorpion-B was clearly a chameleon, able to pass in Soviet circles as one of theirs. Just like the young Eduardo Rozsa Flores studying at the elite Dzerzhinsky Academy.

In exile Belovai campaigned to be given a full pardon and to be restored to his former military rank, arguing that he had acted as he did to save Hungary as well as the West from a catastrophic nuclear war.

"I was never a traitor. I was Hungary's first Nato soldier," he claimed. But even 20 years after the end of Communist rule, no Hungarian political party has been prepared to rehabilitate him.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituari...lovai.html

Men with the deep political backgrounds and sponsorships of Belovai/Scorpion-B and Eduardo Rozsa Flores do not have casual conversations about the weather.

We had some very interesting IPs checking out this thread - one of DPF's most unique and important - earlier.

Perhaps they were looking for a spooky Scorpion....

Szili accuses Heti Válasz of "smear campaign" in article on Gyurcsány speech

Former parliamentary speaker Katalin Szili said on Thursday denied being involved in the leak of former prime minister Ferenc Gyurcsany's famous 2006 "lies speech".
She said the contents of an article in Heti Valasz weekly were untrue and part of a "smear campaign".
The former Socialist politician, currently an independent lawmaker, told MTI in a statement that she had repeatedly asked for all documents and investigation material on the "Oszod speech" leak to be made public.
She denied ever having met Eduardo Rozsa-Flores, a Hungarian-Croatian-Bolivian citizen who died amid unconfirmed circumstances connected with an alleged terrorist attack on Bolivian President Evo Morales in 2009. Heti Valasz said Rozsa-Flores was allegedly associated with the leak of the "lies speech".
Balint Szabo, now a member of Gyurcsany's Democratic Coalition party and earlier a regional Socialist politician, told Heti Valasz that he was present in Rozsa-Flores's flat where, in the summer of 2006, three politicians in the next room were listening to the recording of the speech whose leak was followed by prolonged anti-government demonstrations. Szabo said the three people were "Katalin, Imre and Ferenc", but would not give their full names as he believed they should come forward themselves.

Very interesting.

Looking at his long career of black operations - both bloody and political - I see Eduardo Rozsa-Flores very much as a deep political Mechanic in the tradition of E Howard Hunt.

And of course Rozsa-Flores had links to the neo-facsist Hungarian political movement Jobbik.

And of course Rozsa-Flores had links to the neo-facsist Hungarian political movement Jobbik.

And they've been doing very well since 2006 electorally. Even just as a wedge.
