It wouldn’t surprise me if this had a measure of truth.
Nobody likes to work themselves out of a job.
NOW, that is a reliable source for news? /sarcasm
There is also speculation US military action in Afghanistan is directly related to CIA’s battle for control of the heroin traffic.
What do you think?
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’.
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.
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.
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.

There is not a doubt in my mind that this is true.
the CIA has work with/for the mob since the 2nd world war

Catherine Austin Fitts, who was Assistant Secretary of HUD under Jack Kemp in the George H.W. Bush administration, has written extensively on the kleptocratic narco-state, including government involvement in the drug trade and spinoff revenue opportunities like for-profit prisons. For example, she published a series of stories online at http://dunwalke.com/contents.htm.
As former CIA Director William Colby was quoted, “The Latin American drug cartels have stretched their tentacles much deeper into our lives than most people believe. It’s possible they are calling the shots at all levels of government.”
Of course it’s true. It’s also the reason for the Afghan war. No doubt in my mind. Why do you think Napoleon, the British, Hitler, the Soviets and now us have had an interest in controlling Afghanistan of all places? Heroin.
That’s why I always laugh when people yell at me for disliking Bush and Cheney, oh, how dare you they’re such swell guys. Yeah, okay. Keep telling yourself that if it makes you sleep better at night.
Since Reagan, the country has had P.O.S. on either side. Two sides of the same coin since him. Bad people, doing bad things.
