"It's like pest control companies, they only control," Villanueva told the Qatar-based media outlet last month at his office in Juarez. "If you finish off the pests, you are out of a job. If they finish the drug business, they finish their jobs."

It wouldn’t surprise me if this had a measure of truth.

Nobody likes to work themselves out of a job.

Does anyone seriously believe that our government is in favor of bringing illegal drugs into the United States? Anyone?

I've always believed that they all do it, even the Bush's.

The profits from drugs (tobacco, alcohol, opium, hashish, marijuana, etc.) has shaped our geopolitical history for centuries.

Why do you think they never close the border?

There is also speculation US military action in Afghanistan is directly related to CIA’s battle for control of the heroin traffic.

No better way to control a ‘ free’ population than to drug the natives into complacency and then import millions of foreigners who care nothing about our freedom in the first place.

There are two ways to conquer a nation, the other one is just blow them to hell.

THIS is what I have been saying all along.

They don’t want to ‘close’ the border, they want it ‘selectively’ open so they can ‘control’ it. That is why they have invaded Arizona and declared it an ‘illegals and drug smuggling corridor’.

Well, Bush Sr was DCI, so it’s next to impossible he didn’t know.

And despite tens of billions spent on the endless “war,” numerous analyses indicate that the flow of illegal drugs into America is actually growing

Elements in our government (both parties) are not only profiting from the billions spent in the "war" but also many times more from their cut on drugs allowed to enter the USA. The open border situation is not a fluke. The entrenched politicos who profit the most are fighting harder to keep the borders open than to close or control.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, our government is in the hands of a political crime syndicate with Democrat and Republican parties as a front. Our treasury has been looted and now they are looting money that is being borrowed in our name, semi trucks loaded with drugs roll freely across our borders, more and more rights taken away on a regular basis and the citizens don't even stir................WTF is wrong with people???

Why did the Opium Wars occur between the UK and China?

Because the Brits were smuggling in drugs into China. The Feds do the same with importing the crap into our country. The UK leads and the US follows.

The CIA became chumy with nazis like Rheinhard Gehlen. They did LSD tests on unwitting people. Our government has admits to allowing in tons of cocaine while they investigate a cartel. Clinton and his Arkansas airport smuggling connection stinks to high heaven. HSBC bank admitted that they were a laundering operation. Other banks are happy to slop up the brug billions.
Now we have Fast and Furious that was DESIGNED to cause misery n Mexico that could be layed at the doorstep of US gun laws.
And right now, in the heroin growing center of the world, our troops are strictly forbidden from doing anything that could damage the poppy crop. Photos abound of them walking through immense fields of pot and poppy bulbs.

Nawwww,,, the CIA would NEVER see the Cartels as something to control to their own purposes, rather than as something to destroy.

Then maybe the stories of Bill Clinton, and those CIA drug flights in to Mena Arkansas full of coke are true.
No wonder they turned a blind eye towards all his illegalities.
Bill couldn’t afford a pay toilet prior to those flights.

I heard a police officer once on the radio who had studied the illicit drug trade. He was of the opinion that the Feds import about 70% it into the US.

When Zelaya was driven out of power in Honduras, there were some Colombian officials who spoke of American transport planes that make stops at jungle airfields in the Honduran jungle.

By contrast, Portugal, which legalized all drugs about a decade ago, has seen declining rates of addiction, drug abuse, and crime.

Portugal didn't legalize drugs, they decriminalized it. There is a big difference. In Portugal you still have to go to court, and can be ordered into drug treatment, but you don't go to jail. This would never work in the U.S. because drug users would consider frequent visits from a drug aversion social worker a form of harassment. The ACLU would file a lawsuit on their behalf.

No mention of Air America (not the movie or radio network) in the article.
