Adapted from a post found on Guerilla News Network forums 03/10/04:A US-registered cargo plane loaded with 64 "mercernaries" and various military equipment was impounded Sunday night at Harare International Airport in Zimbabwe "after its owners had made a false declaration of its cargo and crew."
When asked about it on Monday, State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said "We have no indication this aircraft is connected to the U.S. government."
Now, if you look at the press accounts, what's caught people's attention is the US registry of the plane. Specifically, it's registered to a company called Dodson Aviation, which is based in Kansas.
[Dodson] has a South African subsidiary Dodson International Parts SA Ltd (According to their website, "Dodson International Parts SA (Pty) Ltd is the African division of United States based companies Dodson International Parts Inc. and Dodson Aviation. The company was established in 1998 and is based at Wonderboom Airport, Pretoria.") And it was from this subsidiary's hangar at an airport just north of Pretoria that the aforementioned mercenaries boarded the plane.

It has been reported that you can visit a Blue Lodge most anywhere in the world that is near U.S. military installations and you can usually find someone who has visited Plato Lodge or taken some of his work there. MilitaryCorruption.com bulletin:The aircraft was detained on the runway Sunday night (March 7) and Zimbabwean Home Affairs Minister Kembo Mohadi announced an investigation was underway after the plane's owners "made a false declaration as to the aircraft's cargo and crew."
One U.S. military source told MCC the incident could have stemmed from a thwarted CIA mission. "There also may have been former American military servicemen among the "mercenaries" taken into custody," the source said. Labels: masons .....---
