In the late 1970s, Barry Seal, a veteran pilot
for commercial airline TWA
was tired of routine pilot career for TWA, is contacted by CIA
case officer Monty Schafer. He asks Seal to fly clandestine reconnaissance
missions for the CIA over Central America using a small plane with cameras
installed.
Later in the 1970s, Schafer asks Seal to start acting as a
courier between the CIA and General Noriega in Panama. During a mission,
the MedellĂn Cartel
which members included notorious Pablo Escobar picks Seal up and asks him to
fly cocaine on his return flights over the gulf of Mexico to the USA. Seal
accepts and starts flying the cartel’s cocaine to Louisiana where he could
micro pinpoint narcotics drops. The CIA turns a blind eye to the drug
smuggling, but the DEA noticed
and tracks Seal down. To avoid the authorities, Schafer moves Seal and his
family to a remote small town in State of Arkansas called Mena. There Seal getting
rich with money from trafficking drugs from Colombia to US. Money is
everywhere, in the cabinets, cupboards, underground, aboveground, inside the
banks which build special vaults just for him. He opened a lot of new business
to make his drug money legit, such as banks, paper companies, putting expensive
cars on the streets of Mena until FBI started paying attention to his all fake disguises
and rapidly unbelievable changing situations in a remote a little town
Later, Schafer asks Seal to run guns to the Nicaraguan Contras based in Honduras,
Central America. Seal soon realizes quickly that those Amigos Contras
are not serious about the revolution and starts trading the guns to the cartel.
The CIA set up a Contra training base in Mena and Seal flies the Contras in,
but many of them escape out of their camps as soon as they arrive in US.
Eventually, the CIA shuts the program down and abandons Seal to
be arrested by the FBI,
DEA and other law enforcement agencies. Seal escapes prosecution by making a
deal with the White House where and when at that time Marine Lt Col Oliver
North and Admiral John PointDexter played a key roles in the strange 360 degree
twist of the story in the background stages of then US President Ronald Reagan,
WH which wants evidence the Sandinistas
led by GEN Daniel Ortega are drug traffickers. They ask Seal to get photos that
tie the Medelin Cartel to the Nicaraguan Sandinistas. Seal manages to get the pictures,
and the White House can only use and release them as propaganda against the
Sandinistas. Seal is prominently shown in the pictures, which leads to his
arrest, and to the cartel plotting revenge.
Seal is convicted but
given a light sentence, 1,000 hours community service for the Salvation Army.
Eventually, after moving from motel to motel each night, assassins sent by Pablo Escobar and the
Cartel locate Seal and killed him in execution style; the CIA then seizes all
the evidence to avoid being implicated in drug smuggling. The CIA subsequently
begins the Iran–Contra
affair changing the name of the game to start all over the TV and
News media. As a fact, few years later DEA and Colombia Government jointly chased
down and killed all Medelin Cartel members including Pablo Escobar and got rid
of the infamous cartel once and forever from the earth
