It has been a while since I have seen this topic mentioned or discussed on ATS. Yes the CIA is heavy into the drug trade, and it falls on their self financing for the agencies budget.

There have been some really good threads posted in the past, if some searching for material is an item of interest.

I just hope this isn't news to any one, as it has been circulated for some time and as a majority, people seem to just let things fade from memory.
It's my opinion, that this issue should not just be swept under the carpet, and that it gets addressed correctly by the next administration.

A hope is all it will probably be, as my confidence in the system is next to nil.

Also, as a note. There is word that the CIA MKULTRA program was conducted with drug experiments.

Again, I see no surprise here. Unless people do not bother to look onto history. Before the US commited land forces seriously to Vietnam, in the First Indochina War, the French , to get the assistance of the mountain tribes onto fighting the VM, bought their opium. What do you think they did with it?

After them , the US just followed the same tactics. Again, what do you think they did with the opium?

And now, just look how Afghanistan, after the Taliban where kicked out, and under the benevolent eyes of the NATO forces in there, Afghanistan turned onto a major drug producer. Again, who buys that drug? And what do you think they do with it?

All this was well document up to and during the Vietnam war, and I'm certain in 30 years time, all of what's happening in Afghanistan will also surface.

I have no doubt the government is implicated in the drug trade. I used to be a musician and spent a lot of time in South Florida. My band met this guy who had lots of high quality *stuff*. One night while we were performing he got arrested outside the show in his car. We asked him if we could bail him out or anything because he had been really good to us. He told us not to worry that they couldn't arrest him. He said that he worked out on one of the oil platforms and they couldn't do anything to him. Sure enough, 2 hours later he was back at our hotel rooms, scott free. He wouldn't discuss anything about it, just tell us that he couldn't be held or charged.

HAHA I love how these retards think that by saying "we don;t have anything to do with it" they leave out saying "nor does any other agency, operative, etc. of the government of the United States of America or any of our states or allies."

they have money, guns and the means to do what they want. what can we do to stop them? nothing?

I am a believer that the CIA is top notch at drug dealing.

I feel this is where they get the money to fund secret projects. If they used Congressional or budget funds, Congress would be entitled to know what is going on. Kinda of scary when your own Congress or President have little knowledge of what really transpires within the government.

this has been known for a loooooong time my friend but nice find

2nd liiiine

All these Goverment Sellouts make me Sick Selling out there own country and people for their money and power. These scumbags should get wiped out from the surface of the planet and burn in hell.

Here in Mass question 2 is about decriminalizing marijuana (up to an ounce), so I am not really surprised about this. Drugs are profitable and especially with all of the U.S.'s involvement in south America in the past it's easy to see that this is true.

The goverment killed all black leaders and brought crack to the inner city, but you know blacks just complain for no reason

Wow that was completely eye opening. I really don't know what to say. What can be done?

One more thing about the "drug war" I dont know about in other cities but here its pretty clear that their attempts are futile. I know several people who smoke marijuana, and basically here is what happens.

The cops will all the sudden get on a drug bust kick and sometimes will even do a half ass job at getting the town dry. Then they will go on the news and jerk each other off about what a great job they did, 2 weeks later all the dealers are back up and its like nothing ever happened.
the day that all drugs are legal is the only circumstance that this "war" will have an end, its just an excuse to make money disapear, no more no less. Besides, if america is so free, why arent non hostile dealers allowed to practive free enterprise. why arent people allowed to do what they want to their bodies. alcohol is much worse for you that pot and so is cigarettes. in fact even the head of the dea said that pot from a vaporizer has no negative effects on health PERIOD!

(ps I know all about the tax stamps they produced and didnt release as the catch 22 making this illegal, so dont bother)
