Fox and Calderon are close to top drug trafficker; Roberto Hernandez

President Fox Guarding Narco Hen-House?

Mexico press said Fox close to top drug trafficker, raising questions about curious Bush-Clinton links to Fox

[ This story was originally published at WorldNetDaily.com on February 15, 2001. Interestingly, it was re-posted without censorship but with a great deal of comment at FreeRepublic.com on July 28, 2001. President Bill Clinton had earlier met former Mexico President Ernesto Zedillo at the coastal ranch of alleged narcotics trafficker Roberto Hernandez Ramirez in 1999 for the U.S.-Mexico "anti-drug" conference, after which new President Vicente Fox vacationed with Ramirez. Curiously, reports at the same time revealed that then Texas Governor George Bush "loaned" Fox one of his top media consultants to assure his election, validating secret Bush links to the Mexico president (the consultant used fake names to hide the ties during his 40 visits with Fox), all of which is mostly unknown to the American people and the United States Congress--well, most of Congress. This, despite multiple Mexico press allegations.To add to the outrage, Ramirez is also on the board of directors of New York CitiBank and a member of the International Advisory Committee of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank of New York, after having sold his BanaMex bank to CitiGroup in 2001 for $12.5 billion.Revealing photo and map evidence with testimonial allegations about Ramirez ran daily in Por Esto during Clinton's Cancun conference, alleging Ramirez was running a drug trafficking operation from his huge property, complete with an airport which allegedly smuggled one-third of Central America's cocaine into the U.S.A. This, according to the three largest daily newspapers in Mexico, raising questions about side agendas as President Bush himself meets with Fox on Thursday and Friday in Cancun, adjacent to the property owned by Ramirez, who the press referred to as "El Narcotrafficante." Given the evidence, questions could be raised as to whether the citizen-led "Minuteman Project" has been having too great an effect upon slowing cocaine trafficking into America. One could also question senators who say the U.S.A. does not need a helicopter-patrolled double fence along its border.Although this controversial story was written five years ago, it is reprinted here in the hope that American citizens enraged over the Senate Judiciary Committee's approval of corporate "guest-worker" amnesty will realize that there is substantial proof and evidence that two U.S. presidents offer credibility to a Mexican President who consorts and vacations with one of the largest alleged drug traffickers in the hemisphere, according to Mexico's own newspapers--and who happens to sit on the board of America's largest bank. Note whether the corporate media picks up on these links while Bush is in Mexico this week--or whether the media continues the cover-up. Thanks to Al Giordano and NarcoNews.com.

There's an intriguing story left virtually unreported by the mainstream U.S. media regarding a friendship between alleged Cancun drug-trafficker and banker Roberto Hernandez Ramirez and Mexican President Vicente Fox.This is especially strange when you throw in President Bush's Feb. 16 meeting in Mexico with the nation's new leader.

Few people have cued into the Mexican president's connections to Bush's own Dallas TV ad consultant, Robert Allyn. Along with consulting work for Bush, according to a July 9, 2000, Dallas Morning News report, Allyn worked secretly for three years on the election campaign of Vicente Fox and would have most likely known about the alleged connection between Fox and drug runners. The allegations were made specifically by three Yucatan newspapers: Por Esto! (Dec. 16, 1996), El Universal (July 8, 2000) and La Jornada (July 9, 2000).Forbes Magazine reported that Roberto Hernandez, who could not afford an American Express card in 1980, today earns the largest annual salary in Mexico -- reported as $29 million per year -- and is a billionaire who runs Mexico's largest bank.Por Esto!'s evidence linking Hernandez to narcotics was so solid that a judge threw out Hernandez's libel suit against the newspaper and editor Mario Menendez because, as the Feb. 23, 2000, Village Voice reported, "all the accusations formed by [Menendez] were based on facts." Hernandez did not return the Voice's calls for comment, but Menendez added in an interview that Hernandez's "properties were found with cocaine. All of this is confirmed by the [Mexican] Air Force, thus, there is no possibility of libel."
