Cooperative Security Locations

Caribbean CSL (Aruba-Curacao, The Netherlands Antilles)

The CSL is at two locations: Curaçao`s Hato International Airport and Aruba`s Reina Beatrix International Airport. The formal 10-year access agreement with the Kingdom of the Netherlands was signed in March 2000 and the Netherlands` parliament ratified the agreement in October 2001. Both CSL locations required minor construction improvements to include aircraft parking ramps, maintenance, and operations buildings. Counter-drug flights were made from these locations even as improvements were being made. To date, the Aruba CSL has seen limited improvement and use while the Curacao CSL has received all required improvements to include ramp space for two large, two medium, and six small aircraft, a fresh water rise facility, a maintenance hangar, and an operations building.

Aruba-Curacao provides effective, rapid response operations in the northern source zone, which includes the Guajira Peninsula of Colombia and the Venezuelan border region, as well as a large part of the transit zone. The U.S. Air Force handles day-to-day operations at the CSL.

„Outrageous“: JetBlue A320 Narrowly Avoids Mid-Air Collision With US Military Tanker Over Curaçao

To maintain a safe level of separation, the JetBlue aircraft halted its climb and leveled its altitude before eventually climbing again to cruising altitude. During communications between the aircraft and ATC, Curaçao‘s control center confirmed that the military tanker was not visible on their screens either.

With its transponder not switched on, the aircraft would also not have been visible to JetBlue‘s Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS), which relies on transponder signals from nearby aircraft to warn of potential collisions. While this near-miss occurred during daylight hours, the situation could have been a lot worse if it happened at night during minimal visibility.

JetBlue plane near Venezuela avoids ‘midair collision’ with US Air Force aircraft

A JetBlue flight from the small Caribbean nation of Curaçao halted its ascent to avoid colliding with a US Air Force refueling tanker on Friday, and the pilot blamed the military plane for crossing his path.

“We almost had a midair collision up here,” the JetBlue pilot said, according to a recording of his conversation with air traffic control. “They passed directly in our flight path. … They don’t have their transponder turned on, it’s outrageous.”

The incident involved JetBlue Flight 1112 from Curaçao, which is just off the coast of Venezuela, en route to New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.

US military aircraft to arrive in Dominican Republic for deployment in the Caribbean

(December 13, 2025)

The C-130, in service since 1954, is one of the most successful military transport aircraft in history. Designed for rugged operations during the Cold War, it has been used in conflicts such as Vietnam and Desert Storm, as well as major humanitarian missions in Haiti, during Hurricane Katrina, and in global disaster zones.

The KC-130, introduced in the 1960s, serves as a tanker and logistics aircraft, enabling aerial refueling for fighter jets, helicopters, and drones.

It has supported operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, as well as nighttime special operations and personnel transport.

Dennis rejects US radar on Tobago

“We do not want it here.”

That was the message from PNM Tobago political leader Ancil Dennis in a video posted to social media as he rejected the US military radar now spinning at the ANR Robinson International Airport.

Dennis told Tobagonians the device was brought in without proper explanation and said the Government must “carry it back to Trinidad.”
He accused the Prime Minister, Chief Secretary Farley Augustine and Tobago East MP David Thomas of misleading the public by giving different descriptions of the radar.

Resisted by Grenada, radar spotted in Tobago: As 4th US aircraft flies in

Yet another US Marine aircraft was detected overnight heading into Tobago, the fourth of its kind over the course of the past week, as imagery on the island appeared to depict a powerful air defence US radar system at the ANR Robinson international Airport.

The sightings come after Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar yesterday confirmed the US military presence on the sister isle, backtracking on previous claims that previous military aircraft sighted on the island were only there to help the country with a “roadway.”

Prime Minister defends silence on US Marines in Tobago ‘I withheld work on radar details to protect national security’

On Wednesday, when a C-17 Globemaster with the words Air Force emblazoned on its side was spotted at Tobago’s airport, a picture of the aeroplane was circulated widely on social media, with several citizens questioning its purpose.

Later that day, outside the Red House, the Prime Minister explained that the aircraft had brought in US marines to assist in constructing a roadway. At the time, she said that, to her knowledge, there were no longer any marines in the country. However, US marines were later seen at a popular hotel in Tobago. The day after, the Prime Minister clarified that following further inquiries, she had been informed that marines were still in Tobago and were assisting with work on the runway, roadway, and radar system at Tobago’s airport.

President Gustavo Petro ordered Colombia’s intelligence agencies to stop sharing information on drug trafficking with their United States counterparts until US President Donald Trump stops ordering strikes on boats in the Caribbean.

Petro announced the order on Twitter after US television network CNN reported that the United Kingdom suspended intelligence sharing over the strikes that have killed at least 67 people since early September.

UK suspends some intelligence sharing with US over boat strike concerns in major break

The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

The UK’s decision marks a significant break from its closest ally and intelligence sharing partner and underscores the growing skepticism over the legality of the US military’s campaign around Latin America.

Revealed: Trump is using Egyptian airport to spy on Gaza under guise of peacekeeping

The airport, called El Gora, is usually largely inactive but used by the Multinational Force and Observers (MFO), the peacekeeping organisation that monitors the security provisions of the 1979 Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty in the Sinai. It is the closest airport to Gaza outside of Israel.

A U.S. Air Force Beech C-12V Huron plane arrived in Egypt on 23 August and has been flying daily flights in the region since. A Black Hawk helicopter also started flying from the airport on 9 September. It is believed that the planes are operating under the MFO mandate, which does not include the war in Gaza, because their callsign includes that acronym.

But Deep Dive has found evidence the planes are being used by the Trump administration to spy close to, and possibly over, Gaza.

The US Beech C-12V flew its first mission on 31 August and transponder data shows it spent an hour circling just 10 miles off northern Gaza after taking off from Hatzor military base in Israel, which has been used to gather intelligence over the Palestinian territory.

Two American intelligence officials briefed on the matter told CBS News that Israeli forces on Sept. 8 and 9 launched drones from a submarine and dropped incendiary devices onto the boats that were moored outside the Tunisian port of Sidi Bou Said, causing a fire.

Russian Drone Enters Romanian Air Space, Two F-16 in Pursuit

On September 13, 2025, Romania’s air defence forces responded swiftly to an unprecedented security incident when a Russian drone intruded into Romanian airspace near the Ukrainian border. The Romanian Air Force scrambled two F-16 fighter jets to intercept the drone, which was detected approximately 20 kilometres southwest of Chilia Veche, Tulcea County.

The F-16 jets tracked the drone until it disappeared from radar, ensuring no invasion of populated areas and preventing any public safety threat.

DER 11. SEPTEMBER: Langer Marsch eines Molochs

(10.09.2014)

Die Kommission

Auf dem langen Marsch der Institutionen in den 11. September gab es manchen großen Sprung nach vorn. Einen zentralen davon repräsentiert die unter Bill Clinton 1996 formierte „Kommission des Präsidenten zum Schutz kritischer Infrastruktur“. In der Kommission waren, fast schon klischeehaft, die Bausteine des heutigen imperialen Molochs, des „lebenden, atmenden Organismus“, „jeder Kontrolle entwachsen“, des “elektronischen Polizeistaates”, des “sicherheitsindustriellen Komplexes” vertreten, der fünf Jahre später durch den 11. September entfesselt und über die Welt herfallen sollte, obwohl er angeblich dafür gezüchtet worden war genau solche Attentate zu verhindern.

Neben den Konsortien AT&T (früher das landesweite Telefonmonopol Bell Company, s.o.) und dem vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg als „Computing Tabulating Recording Company“ gegründeten IBM Konzern saßen NSA, CIA, FBI, Militär, Pentagon, das Justizministerium, hochrangige Bürokraten des Präsidentenpalastes der heute „Weißes Haus“ genannt wird, die Zentralbank Fed, das Finanzministerium, das Transportministerium, das 1934 aus fünf Industrie-Vereinigungen verschmolzene Eisenbahn-Trust „Association of American Railroads“, das Handelsministerium, die Eliteuniversität in Georgetown, usw, usw.

Den Vorsitz hatte der 1925 geborene Robert T. Marsh, ein Vier-Sterne-General, bereits seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg in der Air Force, später im Kalten Krieg als Stabsoffizier im Strategischen Kommando zuständig für die Infrastruktur gebunkerter Atomwaffen, sowie u.a. Leiter der Produktions- und Entwicklungsstätte elektronischer Systeme der Air Force auf der Luftwaffenbasis in Hanscom.

In ihrem am Oktober 1997 überreichten Bericht machte die Kommission eine endlose Reihe von „Empfehlungen“ für Gesetze, Behörden und Bestimmungen, sowie dazu gleich eine ebenso lange Reihe von Rechtsbegriffen bzw Definitionen, die später durch den Präsidenten eins zu eins umgesetzt wurden, u.a. in den geheimen Präsidentenbefehlen PDD 62 und PDD 63.

Bereits zu diesem Zeitpunkt, in 1997, betonte die Kommission:

„Wir müssen unser neues Denken der Cyber-Dimension anpassen. .. Mit das Wichtigste ist zu erkennen, dass die Besitzer und Betreiber unserer kritischen Infrastruktur nun an den Frontlinien unserer Sicherheitsbemühungen stehen. Sie sind diejenigen, die gegenüber Cyber-Attacken am Verwundbarsten sind. Und diese Verwundbarkeit setzt unsere Nationale Sicherheit, unsere globale wirtschaftliche Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und unser heimisches Wohlergehen auf´s Spiel.

Es ist in diesem Sinne, dass wir unseren Bericht vorstellen.“

Leider ist die nächste Seite des Berichts „absichtlich leer gelassen“. So ganz öffentlich war der Bericht nicht.

Ebenfalls in weiser Voraussicht formulierte die „Kommission des Präsidenten zum Schutz kritischer Infrastruktur“:

„Das Transportministerium hat den Gesetzentwurf H.R. 1720, Surface Transportation Safety Act of 1997, übermittelt, der entworfen wurde um Passagiere und Angestellte in Schienenverkehr und Massentransportsystemen und die Bewegungen von Fracht durch Schienenverkehr vor terroristischen Angriffen / Terroranschlägen („terrorist attacks“) zu beschützen. Die Kommission empfiehlt diesem Gesetzentwurf starke Unterstützung durch Administration und Kongress zu geben.“

Eine „kritische“ (entscheidende, „critical“) Infrastruktur im Transport-Sektor definierte die Präsidentenkommission als

„charakterisiert durch das physische Vertriebs (Beförderungs-)system, das kritisch ist in der Unterstützung der Nationalen Sicherheit und dem ökonomischen Wohlergehen dieser Nation, eingeschlossen das nationale Luftraumsystem, Fluglinien und Flugzeuge, und Flughäfen.“

Auch was die Sicherheit im Flugverkehr anging, sprach man, vier Jahre vor 9/11, schon durchaus miteinander.

„Mehrere Bundesbehörden stellen Besitzern und Betreibern von Infrastruktur Information(en) zur Verfügung. Das ´Awareness of National Security Issues and Response´ (ANSIR) Programm des FBI gibt über 25.000 Mitgliedern der Industrie Auskunft („information“), die Einblicke in Bedrohung und Verwundbarkeit gibt. Enger gefasste Programme sind die Benachrichtigung des Transportministeriums über terroristische Bedrohungen an die zivile Luftfahrtindustrie und die informationssicherheitsbezogene Verwundbarkeits-Einschätzung („INFOSEC Vulnerability Assessment“) der National Security Agency, das informationssystem-bezogene Daten Partnern im privaten Sektor zur Verfügung stellt.“

Dem Transportministerium und seiner Luftfahrtbehörde FAA („Federal Aviation Administration“) konstatierte die Präsidentenkommission in 1997:

„Die Sicherheit (in) der zivilen Luftfahrt bleibt die erste Priorität und der Schwerpunkt des Transportministeriums. Die FAA hat die Verantwortung und die Autorität Notfallmaßnahmen für Luftfahrtunternehmen und Flughäfen anzufordern, um schnell und effektiv mit unmittelbaren Bedrohungen gegen die zivile Luftfahrt umzugehen.“

Aber:

„Das Luftfahrtkontrollsystem der FAA basiert auf Jahrzehnte alter Technologie. Das Ersatzsystem, obwohl zweifellos effizienter, wird verwundbarer sein, wenn keine speziellen Sicherheitsmaßnahmen eingefügt werden.“

Und deshalb:

„Empfehlen wir: Die Bundesluftfahrtbehörde (FAA) handelt sofort darin, ein umfassendes Nationales Luftraum-Sicherheitsprogramm zu entwickeln, etablieren, finanzieren und zu implementieren, um das modernisierte Nationale Luftraum-System vor informations-basierten und anderen Störungen, Eindringungen („intrusions“) und Angriffen zu beschützen. Umsetzung durch Programm sollte geleitet sein von den Empfehlungen, die man im ´Vulnerability Assessment of the FAA National Airspace System Architecture´ findet, die für diese Kommission vorbereitet wurde.“

Man empfahl dem Präsidenten also etwas, was einem empfohlen worden war.

Das neue System der Luftfahrtbehörde FAA

ANOTHER BOAT HAS BEEN HIT IN A SUSPECTED DRONE ATTACK

September 9th, 2025

The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) confirms that on September 9, another boat in our fleet – the “Alma” – was attacked by a drone as it was docked in Tunisian waters. The boat, sailing under the British flag, sustained fire damage on its top deck. The fire has since been extinguished, and all passengers and crew are safe. An investigation is currently underway and when more information is available it will be released immediately.

This marks the second such attack in two days. These repeat attacks come during intensified Israeli aggression on Palestinians in Gaza, and are an orchestrated attempt to distract and derail our mission. The Global Sumud Flotilla continues undeterred. Our peaceful voyage to break Israel’s illegal siege on Gaza and stand in unwavering solidarity with its people presses forward with determination and resolve.
