This is a follow-up to Clowns in America, an introduction into the seedy origins of the CIA.

We’ve been fighting a never ending ‘War on drugs’ since Nixon declared it back in 1971 and President Ronald Reagan emphasized it again back in 1982.

We all remember the slogan that became popular and was pushed by First Lady Nancy Reagan; “Just Say No To Drugs.” She toured the country visiting schools trying to encourage kids to resist drug pushers, and it became a national movement at the time. It was a serious issue, and I believe the Reagan’s were very sincere in their willingness to battle the growing epidemic.

According to Today In History:

The War on Drugs

In 1971, The Nixon Administration officially declared drugs as "public enemy number one," a sentiment the FBI used with success. The initiative was originally an element of criminal justice meant to rid people's neighborhoods of drug dealers and users. Nationally, police departments established footings as "tough on crime."

However, when Reagan first won in 1980, his campaign took a law and order stance, which carried over through his two terms. This stance meant a rapid expansion of federal power aimed at using law and force to stop drugs from entering the country. He also initiated the phrase "Just Say No," which is still used with the US DARE program.

I always loved Reagan’s optimism and never once doubted his love for this country and the American people. I believe he was trying to make a serious effort to curb the use of illegal drugs in this country, but it would be a failed effort.

President Reagan was a patriot and an outsider like both Trump and Kennedy.

Here’s a portion of Q post 350 from Dec 14, 2017:

President Kennedy was killed, (more on that in a coming article) and President Reagan survived an attempted assassination that I believe was part of the CIA’s MK-Ultra program, which used drug induced mind control for assassinations.

Reagan was a patriot like Trump, but he was at a complete disadvantage in this war against the cabal back then.

There were three main reasons for this:

1. Reagan’s administration was completely infiltrated and controlled by CIA/Deep State puppets.

2. The patriots in the military were not in a position to take on the cabal at that time.

3. President Reagan had no clue who the real enemy was.

In my opinion Reagan was completely ignorant of the hidden enemy controlling the world. He truly thought the real enemy of the world was communism. That’s what he committed to fight against during his presidency. The enemy from within knew that communism was Reagan’s main focus, so they used that commitment against him.

The Cold War

The “shadow government” used “battling communism” as their excuse to start proxy wars in order to grow and maintain their global drug trafficking and money laundering operations. Most of it was covert operations that they were hiding from the public and Congressional oversight. I don’t believe Reagan was in the loop on a lot of what was going on.

The shadow government would go into overdrive during Reagan’s administration.

Vice President George H.W. Bush was behind it all.

I always wondered why Reagan would choose Bush as his VP in the first place. I think it was a cabal trick.

Does anybody remember those primaries way back in 1980? Do you remember Reagan losing the Iowa caucus?

I would argue that Iowa might be one of the easiest primary states to manipulate. The loss triggered Reagan to do something that would affect his whole coming administration and give control to the enemy.

What was it?

According to the Washington Post:

Reagan's New Campaign Chief: So Far, So Good

They have been telling jokes about William J. Casey behind his back during the first weeks of his managership of the Reagan presidential campaign.

First, Casey misremembered the name of the campaign finance director.

Then, he misplaced the date of a key primary election.

Finally, he canceled a series of airplane charters for Reagan without telling the press about it, leaving three network crews in Atlanta while Reagan campaigned triumphantly in South Carolina and Florida.

But three weeks after Reagan dramatically ousted campaign director John P. Sears during their mutual moment of triumph in the New Hampshire primary, Casey is very much in charge of Ronald Reagan's campaign.

Reagan replaced his campaign manager after losing Iowa and then winning New Hampshire. His new manager, William Casey, didn’t seem to have a lot of experience running a presidential campaign and got off to a rocky start.

Who is William Casey?

According to Wikipedia:

During World War II, he worked for the Office of Strategic Services, where he became head of its Secret Intelligence Branch in Europe.^[4][7] He served in the United States Naval Reserve until December 1944 before remaining in his OSS position as a civilian until his resignation in September 1945; as an officer, he attained the rank of lieutenant and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for meritorious achievement.

As campaign manager of Ronald Reagan's successful presidential campaign in 1980, Casey helped to broker Reagan's unlikely alliance with vice presidential nominee George H. W. Bush.^[13] He then served on the transition team following the election.

William Casey was a member of the Office of Strategic Services, which was the precursor to the CIA. He was head of intelligence in Europe. He became Reagan’s campaign manager and then would convince Reagan to choose Bush as his VP before becoming Reagan’s choice to head the CIA. Bush and Casey were now in powerful positions in order to give the CIA control over the Reagan administration and cement the shadow government control over the executive branch.

Reagan was surrounded by a den of vipers, and I don’t think he realized it.

How do we know there was a growing shadow government during the Reagan administration? It was already being built by Bush before he became Reagan’s VP.

In my last article I mentioned the Phoenix Program in Vietnam, but I didn’t go into detail. It was a CIA assassination and torture program of civilians, which went against the Geneva convention. The Phoenix Program would be expanded by the CIA to other parts of the world and leave many countries trapped in perpetual poverty and chaos. Many of these countries are strategically important for the CIA’s global drug trafficking operations.

Remember when Bush had traveled to Vietnam in 1967, the same year the Phoenix Program began? It wasn’t a coincidence.

What was the Phoenix Program?

According to War Is Boring:

The Phoenix Program became the primary counterinsurgency operation against the Viet Cong. Although Phoenix was ostensibly under military control, the Central Intelligence Agency often directed operations on the ground. As is often the case with CIA counterinsurgency programs, either by design or circumstance, Phoenix quickly became notorious for allegations of widespread torture, summary executions, and indiscriminate killings.

Though Phoenix was officially under the control of CORDS and the MACV, the CIA provided much of the training for the Provincial Reconnaissance Units and oversaw interrogation centers. The program quickly became notorious for the type of violence that would typify CIA operations and interrogation in Latin America and elsewhere in subsequent years. At times it seemed that gathering information was secondary to inflicting terror and intimidating the Viet Cong and local populace.

Torture tactics employed under Phoenix included “rape, gang rape, rape using eels, snakes or hard objects, and rape followed by murder,” as well as more common techniques such as waterboarding, beatings with rubber hoses and whips, the use of dogs to maul prisoners, and electric shock “rendered by attaching wires to the genitals or other sensitive parts of the body, like the tongue.”

The “airplane” was another common practice. For this technique, “a prisoner’s arms were tied behind the back, and the rope looped over a hook on the ceiling, suspending the prisoner in midair, after which he or she was beaten.”

Don’t miss this important point.

‘The program quickly became notorious for the type of violence that would typify CIA operations and interrogation in Latin America and elsewhere.’

Latin America?

It’s worse than most people know.

For most of my life, I thought that some form of torture on “bad guys” was necessary in order to protect Americans. I’ve come to have a different view.

What I’ve found is that, when the CIA is involved, there is a very clear pattern. The CIA installs brutal dictators in very strategic countries and then train their military/police to brutalize and terrorize their own populations, so they can maintain control of the governments. These dictators are not only unpopular and completely corrupt, but many are also involved in drug trafficking.

The CIA was ‘training’ Vietnamese death squads and running torture prisons involved in the Phoenix Program. The CIA then exported this training around the world.

Have you ever heard of the “School of Americas?” (SOA)

According to Wikipedia:

The institute was founded in 1946; by 2000, more than 60,000 Latin American military, law enforcement, and security personnel had attended the school. The school was located in the Panama Canal Zone until its expulsion in 1984. The school is strongly associated with the dirty wars carried out by U.S.-supported military juntas in South America, particularly in the 1970s and 1980s. Many of its alumni served in repressive, undemocratic governments and engaged in human rights abuses, such as torture and enforced disappearances.

The counterinsurgency manuals that the school used for instruction were produced during the Army's Project X, established under the Foreign Intelligence Assistance Program in 1965–66, which relied on knowledge produced during the Central Intelligence Agency's Phoenix Program.^[26] According to Major Joseph Blair, a former instructor at the school, "the author of SOA and CIA torture manuals [...] drew from intelligence materials used during the Vietnam War that advocated assassination, torture, extortion, and other 'techniques'."^[26]McSherry argues that the authors of the manuals "believed that oversight regulations and prohibitions applied only to U.S. personnel, not to foreign officers."^[26] Use of the manuals was suspended under President Jimmy Carter over concerns about their correlation to human rights abuses.^[

Training manuals suspended under Carter were re-introduced into the school's curriculum under the Reagan Administration in 1982.

Bush and the CIA had been training dictators and their military in Latin America using the same program they had used in Vietnam long before Reagan became president.

Was it just about fighting global communism?

That was the “Big Lie.”

Bush used fighting communism as the excuse during the Cold War in order to set up proxy governments in very important locations.

What country is the biggest cocaine producer in the world?

Colombia.

One of the places that Bush set up operations for his Zapata Offshore drilling company was in Medellin, Colombia. I talked about that in my last article.

Here’s what’s interesting.

Many of these countries where CIA dictators took control all play a strategic role in the cocaine trade flowing directly into the United States.

Take a look at this map of Central America.

Look at the countries connecting Colombia to the United States.

1. Panama

2. Costa Rica

3. Nicaragua

4. Honduras

5. El Salvador

6. Guatemala

7. Mexico

All of them either had rulers, members of their military or police forces trained at the SOA.

All of them were being controlled by the CIA, yet the CIA did nothing to stop the flow of drugs into the U.S.

In fact, the CIA was promoting it.

1. Panama

Does anybody remember Manuel Noriega?

Did you know he is a graduate of the SOA?

According to Wikipedia:

Manuel Antonio Noriega Moreno was a Panamanian dictator, politician and military officer who was the de facto ruler of Panama from 1983 to 1989. An authoritarian ruler who amassed a personal fortune through drug trafficking operations, he had longstanding ties to United States intelligence agencies before the U.S. invasion of Panama removed him from power.

Bush as president invaded Panama and removed Noriega.

But why was Noriega removed and arrested by Bush, who had installed him into power in the first place?

According to The Guardian:

Noriega, who died on Monday at the age of 83, was right to be nervous. The October coup attempt marked a turning point in Washington’s attitude to a man whose rise to power it had assisted, who became a valued CIA cold war asset and go-between in Central America’s dirty wars, but who turned into a monster US spy bosses could no longer control. Noriega had outlived his usefulness. Now he was an embarrassment. So Bush made him America’s most wanted.

Human rights and security aside, Bush had plenty of personal reasons for wanting Noriega out of the way. As CIA director and two-term vice-president to Ronald Reagan prior to 1988, Bush was implicated, by association, in often illegal, covert interventions in the civil wars in El Salvador and Nicaragua. During this period, Noriega, who rose to head the Panamanian security forces, became a highly paid informant and CIA “asset”.

Noriega helped the US to combat Cuban, and thus Soviet, influence in the region. He acted as an intermediary with US-backed contra rebels fighting Daniel Ortega’s leftwing Sandinista government and with the Salvadoran government and rebels. Death squads, random killings and torture characterised these murderous conflicts. Noriega was also closely associated with the Colombian Medellin drug cartel of Pablo Escobar.

Bush had trained and installed Noriega as a dictator in Panama for the very purpose of being a conduit for cocaine trafficking through the Medellin cartel. They were using Panamanian airfields to fly weapons to the Contras and drugs into the U.S.

More from The Guardian:

Funds from drug trafficking were used to buy arms, pay fighters and suborn government officials. Noriega later claimed it was his refusal to help Lt Col Oliver North provide arms for the contra rebels in Nicaragua that triggered the US decision to drop him. North was the White House’s infamous covert operations pointman and a central figure in the Iran-contra scandal that shook the Reagan presidency.

Noriega’s knowledge of US operations in Central America was detailed and highly compromising. He was said to have met Bush in person on more than one occasion.

It is clear that each US government agency which had a relationship with Noriega turned a blind eye to his corruption and drug dealing. Noriega was allowed to establish “the hemisphere’s first narco-kleptocracy”.

The CIA didn’t turn a blind eye to Noriega’s drug trafficking, they encouraged it.

It was only when Congress was investigating the Iran-Contra scandal that Noriega became a huge liability and had to be removed.

More from The Guardian:

The court refused to allow Noriega’s defence to present any evidence relating to his work for the CIA, his payments from the US government, his knowledge of US subversion in Central America, his contacts with senior figures such as Bush, and their knowledge of his activities as Panama’s dictator. His lawyers protested, but in vain. In many respects, the Miami proceedings resembled an east European show trial, with the outcome never in doubt.

Bush got his man, Noriega was silenced, nefarious US behaviour in Central America was effectively concealed, and the concept of justified, forcible regime change was fatefully reinforced.

Noriega had been a big puppet for the CIA in the beginning, but then became a liability, so he was removed.

2. Costa Rica

Costa Rica is very interesting because they had outlawed their own military back in 1948, so they didn’t have any military trained at the SOA that the CIA controlled. Costa Rica did send some police forces to SOA for training though.

According to the USA Today:

Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador are plagued by chronic poverty and violence that have sent a flood of refugees fleeing to the United States. Panama has gained the unwanted title as a world capital for money laundering and corruption. And all of them, plus Nicaragua, face recurrent political upheaval.

Yet amid this chaos, one Central American neighbor remains an island of political stability, economic prosperity and contentment: Costa Rica.

The country's secret is something that virtually no other country in the world can claim — no standing army. It has used the savings from defense spending to improve education, health care and a durable social safety net.

In 2018, Costa Rica will mark its 70th anniversary since it abolished its military, and that seems to suit the population. It ranked first in Latin America and 12th in world in happiness, according to the 2017 World Happiness Index. The Happy Planet Index ranked it No. 1 in the world.

Costa Rica wasn’t completely controlled by the CIA like the other Central American countries, but that didn’t mean the CIA wasn’t using Costa Rica to transport their drugs to the U.S.

According to the New York Times:

The United States Ambassador to Costa Rica helped secure initial Costa Rican permission to build a secret airstrip for the Nicaraguan rebels early this year and was deeply involved in overseeing its use, according to a senior Government official in Central America.

According to United States Government and Nicaraguan rebel officials, the Ambassador, Lewis A. Tambs, as well as other officials in the American Embassy in Costa Rica, maintained close contact with others involved in a so-called private supply network for the rebels that was set up by Lieut. Col. Oliver L. North of the White House National Security Council.

A “secret airstrip” built to supply the Contras in Costa Rica? The same Contra rebels who were also trafficking drugs into the U.S.?

But that’s not all.

More from the New York Times article:

According to Costa Rican records and contra pilots, the airstrip was built by Udall Research, a Panama-based company that has since been dissolved. The company was reported closely tied to other companies that administered secret Swiss bank accounts funneling profits from arms sales to Iran and that also set up the covert supply network. The network was revealed when a rebel plane was shot down over Nicaragua in October.

The companies appear to have been overseen in part by retired Maj. Gen. Richard V. Secord, a key figure in the Iran-contra arms affair.

Remember that name, Gen. Richard Secord.

He’s going to play a major role in my next article that will focus on the Iran-Contra scandal.

The secret airstrip was built by a company called Udall Research that was dissolved. Why? It was a CIA front company that was directly tied to the Iran-Contra scandal and money laundering.

Why use a Panamanian company?

According to another New York Times article:

A prominent Panamanian lawyer appears to have played a key role in setting up three companies here that apparently served as financial vehicles in the supply network for the Nicaraguan rebels.

Mr. Quijano and two clerks in his office are listed as the principal officials of a third company, Udall Resources, which authorities in Costa Rica have said built a 7,000-foot runway in Costa Rica that American crew members on the rebel supply runs said had been used in the operation.

Panama is one of the leading financial centers in the world and like Switzerland regards strict secrecy as the basis for much of its appeal. More than 150,000 companies have been set up here by foreigners, representing such diverse interests as major American corporations, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Governments of Cuba and Nicaragua, at least half a dozen organizations that support the Nicaraguan rebels as well as an unknown number of narcotics traffickers and wealthy Americans whose aim is to avoid paying taxes in the United States.

Panama was also at the center of the money laundering operation for the CIA.

Can you see why Noriega, who was a key puppet for the CIA, needed to be silenced when the Iran-Contra scandal broke?

3. Nicaragua

The CIA was fighting a proxy war in Nicaragua. Why? The Sandanistas had overthrown the dictator Anastasio Somoza Debayle, so the CIA built up a rebel army called the Contras to try and take back power.

All I remember hearing at that time, is how bad the Sandanistas were because they were communists. But nobody talks about the dictator that they overthrew. Anastasio Somoza Debayle was part of a corrupt family that had ruled Nicaragua for generations.

According to The Christian Science Monitor:

The Somozas -- the father, then his elder son, Luis, and finally Anastasio -- became a family dynasty that ruled 43 years. They dominated Nicaragua as if it were their personal fiefdom -- and, in many ways, it was.

They owned large chunks of land. (When General Somoza fled to exile, he personally controlled 22 percent of the agricultural land.) They owned much of the business and industry of the country, including the national airline, two steamship companies, banks, and insurance firms. The Somozas were propped up in power by their 12,000-member National Guard, which was at once part soldier, part bully boy.

When he came to power upon Luis's passing in 1967, Anastasio strengthened the hand of government in ways that made his father's era look like a kindergarten exercise. National Guard brutality became notorious. Opponents were jailed and tortured.

Through it all, General Somoza enjoyed a life of ostentatiousness, while his people lived in poverty. His parties were lavish; his wine cellar, enormous; his personal life a series of women and excess.

The corrupt Somoza dynasty controlled by our CIA created the very oppression that would lead to the Sandanistas rise to power. A very important fact that seems to be lost in history.

4. Honduras

Honduras has been completely corrupt and a main link in the cocaine trafficking to the U.S. from Colombia. They were a base for Contra rebels supplied by the CIA and a springboard for Contra drug trafficking. Our CIA trained their military for just this purpose.

According to Third World Traveler:

In Honduras, General Humberto Ragalado Hernandez, was trained at the SOA at the same time that he was linked to Colombian drug cartels, and the highest ranking officers in the Honduran Death Squad were trained at SOA as well.

That death squad that General Hernandez controlled was notorious.

According to Military Wiki:

Battalion 3-16 (Honduras).

was the name of a Honduran army unit responsible for carrying out political assassinations and torture of suspected political opponents of the government during the 1980s. Battalion members received training and support from the United States Central Intelligence Agency both in Honduras and U.S. military bases.

At least 19 Battalion 3-16 members were graduates of the School of the Americas.

The CIA had a strong role in establishing, training, equipping and financing Battalion 3-16.

This group of graduates from SOA gave the CIA control over Honduras, and it has devastated that country.

How bad is it?

Headlines like these have filled the media ever since.

The Honduran government was completely corrupt …

But I want to encourage you. It’s a war and Trump is fighting the good fight.

Something happened recently that is a huge deal, and I don’t think people realize just how important it was.

What was it?

According to the New York Times:

A New York jury convicted the brother of the president of Honduras on cocaine trafficking charges on Friday, ending a trial that offered a blueprint for the way drug money penetrated the highest levels of Honduran politics to buy protection and immunity.

Since his brother’s arrest last year, a central question facing Hondurans is how President Juan Orlando Hernandez could proclaim to be fighting drug traffickers while his brother was under investigation for allegedly running tons of cocaine to the United States.

This happened in 2019 while Trump was president. He is waging war globally. The Honduran president’s brother was convicted and given a life sentence. That then led to this huge story.

According to NPR:

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — Police arrested former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández at his home on Tuesday, following a request by the United States government for his extradition on drug trafficking and weapons charges.

The arrest came less than three weeks after Hernández left office and followed years of allegations by U.S. prosecutors of his alleged links to drug traffickers.

The president of Honduras was arrested for drug trafficking after his brother had been convicted. It’s war, and Trump is going to hold these leaders who traffic drugs responsible.

5. El Salvador

We were openly fighting a proxy war in El Salvador during the Reagan administration. The government that our CIA had installed was another brutal dictatorship, and we were fighting rebels who were trying to overthrow the corrupt government.

El Salvador is one of the worst examples of the CIA Phoenix Program that was now being used in Central America. Bush was at the center of it all.

According to Third World Traveler:

Graduates of the SOA have been among the most repressive tyrants in Latin America, and their actions have been some of the most cruel and violent. In El Salvador, in 1989, a Salvadoran army patrol executed six Jesuit priests as they lay face-down on the ground at Central America University. According to the United Nation's Truth Commission Report on El Salvador in 1993, 19 of the 27 officers who took part in the executions were trained at the SOA.

In 1990, in El Salvador, populist Archbishop Oscar Romero was assassinated. Three-quarters of the Salvadoran officers implicated in the killing were trained at the SOA. Roberto D’Aubuison, the late leader of El Salvador's Death Squad, was implicated in the plot to assassinate Archbishop Romero. He also participated in numerous murders, including a massacre in the village of El Mazote, where more than 900 men, women, and children were killed. He graduated from SOA as well.

Roberto D’Aubuison was the leader of these death squads and had direct ties to Bush.

According to the Washington Post:

BETWEEN 1979 and 1985, some 40,000 people were murdered by right-wing death squads in El Salvador. Roberto D’Aubuisson, who died Thursday of cancer, was the most notorious symbol of those death squads, the offspring of a bloody alliance between far-right military officers and one of the hemisphere's most reactionary oligarchies.

D’Aubuisson thrived because American leaders who feared a communist takeover in El Salvador deliberately turned a blind eye to the use of state-sanctioned terrorism against Marxist guerrillas, their supporters and suspected sympathizers. The responsibility for this policy began with President Reagan, and included Vice President Bush and U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick, together with Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.) and Lt. Col. Oliver North, at the time an obscure aide on the National Security Council.

Yet only when U.S. public outrage at the bloodshed threatened to move Congress to cut off aid to El Salvador did the Reagan administration finally take the first step against D’Aubuisson and his network.

It’s always been about the money.

The only time that Bush and his shadow government cared about the mass murders, was when Congress threatened to cut off the money to El Salvador.

Why was the American public outraged?

Three American nuns had also been raped and murdered by these death squads. Bush was forced to do something.

What did he do?

More from the Washington Post article:

On Dec. 11, 1983, Vice President Bush met with Alvaro Magana, El Salvador's provisional president, and told him that unless the right-wing slaughter stopped, U.S. aid would be jeopardized.

According to a senior participant in the meeting, North, accompanying Bush, slipped Magana a piece of paper with no letterhead or watermark to make it traceable. The paper had the names of eight military officers and one civilian -- all close D’Aubuisson associates -- identified as death squad leaders

None was ever brought to trial, but all either went into gilded exile or dropped out of sight. The death squad killings dropped sharply.

While Bush did not directly face down the death squads as he claimed in his 1988 presidential campaign, the meeting showed two things very clearly: First, the United States knew who the killers were; and second, when real pressure was finally brought to bear, the killing could be slowed, if not stopped.

Bush went to warn the president of El Salvador that the money from Congress was in jeopardy, so they sent these murderers into “gilded exile.” The money was the most important thing, not the 40,000 or more people who were murdered at the hands of people trained by the CIA.

6. Guatemala

Guatemala may have suffered the most of all the Central American countries at the hands of the SOA.

According to Third World Traveler:

In Guatemala, a country of 10 million, the indigenous Mayan population of 6 million have endured the greatest suffering in Latin America. During more than 30 years of civil war, tens-of-thousands have been slaughtered, with the total killed estimated to exceed 200,000.

Most of the ranking generals involved in the numerous coups and acts of terror and murder during this period were trained at the SOA.

In the 1970s and early 1980s, in Guatemala, thousands of political activists and opponents of government policies were assassinated. General Manuel Antonio Callejas y Callejas, Chief of Army Intelligence at the time, was cited by the UN as the individual responsible for most of those murders. He graduated from the SOA. One of the most vicious tyrants in recent Guatemalan history is Jose Efrain Rios Montt. General, dictator, and a former president from 1982-83, Rios Montt was proud of his political philosophy of "beans for the obedient; bullets for the rest". He was also a graduate of the SOA.

I would like to share something personal.

I’ve been to Guatemala, and I’ve met some of these indigenous Mayan people. I went with a group from my church to build two houses for a couple of families in need. Simple little houses. It had a huge impact on my life because many of these people are literally dirt poor, but still were the happiest people I’ve ever met.

This genocide still deeply affects these wonderful people who are trapped in poverty and have no power to change things.

It’s a sad history throughout Central America that has been plagued by the CIA and a shadow government set up by Bush.

Did you notice that many of these corrupt governments in Central America have connections to the Iran-Contra scandal in some way?

Coincidence?

In my next article, I will dive deep into the Iran-Contra scandal that will reveal Bush’s shadow government and lead us to massive money laundering and connections to Hezbollah. I will also go into the Bush ties to drug traffickers in Colombia and Mexico.
