AMID THE media frenzy and speculation over the disappearance of Air France’s ill-fated Flight 447, the loss of two of the world’s most prominent figures in the war on the illegal arms trade and international drug trafficking has been virtually overlooked.
Pablo Dreyfus, a 39-year-old Argentine who was travelling with his wife Ana Carolina Rodrigues aboard the doomed flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, had worked tirelessly with the Brazilian authorities to stem the flow of arms and ammunition that for years has fuelled the bloody turf wars waged by drug gangs in Rio’s sprawling favelas.
Also travelling with Dreyfus on the doomed flight was his friend and colleague Ronald Dreyer, a Swiss diplomat and co-ordinator of the Geneva Declaration on Armed Violence who had worked with UN missions in El Salvador, Mozambique, Azerbaijan, Kosovo and Angola. Both men were consultants at the Small Arms Survey, an independent think tank based at Geneva’s Graduate Institute of International Studies. The Survey said on its website that Dryer had helped mobilise the support of more than 100 countries to the cause of disarmament and development.

Buenos Aires-born Dreyfus had been living in Rio since 2002, where he and his sociologist wife worked with the Brazilian NGO Viva Rio.
“Pablo will be remembered as a gentle and sensitive man with an upbeat sense of humour,” said the Small Arms Survey. “He displayed an intellectual curiosity and a determined work ethic that excited and enthused all who worked with him.”
According to the International Action Network on Small Arms Control (IANSA), Dreyfus’s work was instrumental in the introduction of landmark small arms legislation in Brazil in 2003. Under this legislation, an online link was created between army and police databases listing production, imports and exports of arms and ammunition in Brazil.
Dreyfus was an advocate of the stringent labelling of ammunition by weapons firms, arguing that by clearly identifying ammunition not only by its producer but also its purchaser, the likelihood of weapons being sourced by criminals from corrupt police or armed forces personnel is greatly reduced.

i said at the very beginning: based on past information we should consider this crash a staged event first and an accident second. it’s very simple based on what we know of 911, twa flight 800, the welstone and ashcroft rival assasinations (missouri crash).
so, we say PROVE it was an accident. a pattern of behaviour tilts the scales. there is no earthly reason to start out with cases like this and ASSUME it was an accident. the “facts” we will take into account to determine where it mite actually fall in the continuum of “staged” vs. “accident.”
again
god bless us and love

Thank you to all trolls and patriots alike for using cuss words on this forum. The government “loves the children” of this nation too much to let them be exposed to such language. Internet 2 will impose fines on websites that allow such language to be used. It will be up to the website host to either pay the fines, pay a fee to allow x-rated content, or pay a moderator to censor your comments since you can’t seem to censor yourselves.
BTW 80% the so-called patriots who make valid, cogent points, and then throw in 3 or 4 cuss words, are paid or unpaid trolls. All they have to do is say something true, that you can agree with, then they pile on the vulgarity which will lead to this sites downfall, and you allow this to happen because you happen to agree with the statement they made.
If you are not a troll, stop the cussing right now!

Stop being offended at things. That’s your own fault. Grow into that brain of yours and allow people to be themselves.

According to an article I read the other day (in german), there were probably at least three more high ranking individuals on board: Erich W. Heine, member of the executive board of Thyssen-Krupp (german steel company), Luis Roberto Anastacio, president for Michelin (tires, rubber production) in south america and Prince Pedro Luis Orleans e Braganca, heir to the last brasilian emporer.
Sorta feels like: invite all your enemies to Paris, pay for the ticket and oops, too bad, my guests crashed…

Well most of us are not surprised that some sort of ‘targets’ had to be on this flight.
This is far from proof, and still speculative but based on past assassinations the idea that an entire commercial aircraft would be brought down for one or two people is quite realistic.
So why does PP have this story buried way down at the bottom of the page?
Were these two people involved in any investigations that may lead to CIA, Mossad, MI5 etc?
A comments forum often allows information like this to be shared, but since PP appears to want this thing to be low key it may not happen.
Why the secrecy PP? Since this story is all over the web, I thought this place would have the most info and the most comments. Hmmmmmm

NWO makes money by continuing the drug trade and the arms dealing, so naturally these two had to be phased out. I figured assassination by airplane-crash was going on ever since KAL-007 was shot down by Soviets “accidentally” back in the 1980’s with a US Congressman aboard. Is there any overt messaging going on in the “numbers” of all these staged accidents? Makes me wonder. Back in the 80’s, “007″ was of course synomous with “James Bond” or “spy”. Air France Flight “447″, the number 5th in a string of many? Makes you wonder. “9/11″ of course lines up with “911″, “call for help”. Again, coincidence or secret signalling among the intelligence communities working in the shadow background to aid and abet the NWO overlords? Makes me wonder still. The pity about them doing it this way is they kill innocent bystanders in the process. None of us are safe taking an airliner anymore. Perhaps the airlines should be required to list famous or government connected passengers going to be aboard these planes before the rest of us get on – giving us a chance to decline the flight.

It seems this is the real case scenario. You mess with Arms dealers and the makers of arms and yes it seems if you are effective assination takes place and no matter about a plane full of people , because the dealing in arms is dealing in death anyway, so why discrimate.
From reading this article , maybe this is the real reason why Pricess Dianna was killed as well. he two link, fighting the merchants of death.
So sad that people who claim to be human are not at all human. Maybe Michael tsarion is right. its the alien DNA mix is humans that if encouaged by bad deeds will take over the human side. my slant on that one.

Thank you for this article! The connection to why this jet went down now makes sense! Did I see an article on Prison Planet a few days ago that said there were bomb threats for this jet?
