Notice how this little tidbit at the end was left out of the very tiny article?

A recent report by the United Nations states that Afghan opium is having a devastating impact on the world, killing thousands in consumer countries.

The opium trade is the major source of Taliban financing.

thats where the big lie resides. The Taliban, when in power, prohibited the growing of poppies. This is why the Taliban is our enemy, so the drug trade can go on.

Was gonna point out the same thing. The ONLY organization that ever was serious about baning opium was the Taliban - and they were effective. Punishment for growing opium was death. After the occupation opium/heroin production has risen 1000's of %...

This article was written on Feb. 2001. That means according to the article that in 2000 Afghan produced 75% of the world stash. 1999 was a record year.

Last year, Afghanistan produced nearly 4,000 tons of opium, about 75 percent of the world's supply, U.N. officials said. Opium -- the milky substance drained from the poppy plant -- is converted into heroin and sold in Europe and North America. The 1999 output was a world record for opium production, the United Nations said -- more than all other countries combined, including the "Golden Triangle," where the borders of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar meet.

Mullah Mohammed Omar, the Taliban's supreme leader, banned poppy growing before the November planting season and augmented it with a religious edict making it contrary to the tenets of Islam.

The Taliban, which has imposed a strict brand of Islam in the 95 percent of Afghanistan it controls, has set fire to heroin laboratories and jailed farmers until they agreed to destroy their poppy crops.

They've been caught bringing narcotics over from South America in planes more than once.


How many times have they been caught bringing it from Afghanistan?

UN report: Russia becomes largest market for Afghan heroin
Russia has become the biggest consumer of Afghan heroin with 21% of all the drug consumed in the world, as of the latest UN Office on Drugs and Crime report “Addiction, Crime and Insurgency” published on October 21.

According to the report, no less than 70 tons of heroin were trafficked to Russia in 2008 – that’s three times more than to the US and Canada together, and much more than previously estimated.

“It's being brought to Russia across the unprotected, transparent, and I would call them virtual borders, which were established after the collapse of the Soviet Union,” says Viktor Ivanov, head of the Federal Drug Control Service.

"70 tons of heroin"

Wow... yep it must all be going to Russia.

Have any idea how much Afghan grown opium made into heroin ends up being pummped into the veins of Americans in the USA on average per year, in recent years?

That whole supply and demand thing ya know?

The drug market in the USA is vast, profits high and is a major source of income for a lot of people in positions of power and influence.

The almighty dollar, US corrupted agencies, government officials, military personnel, rogue agents, and last but not least top key organized crime syndicates all work together.

Afghan opium is more valuable than Iraqi oil is or ever was... that is why it was proven to be the "wrong war"

The Russian drug market hardly compares but it has potential.

a friend back when i was in the navy was a NCIS agent and he caught a many CONTRACT CIA agents supplementing there CIA pay with drugs.

some of these contract agents were military working off the books(whitewashed CIA paramilitary troops) for the CIA and still getting service time for military retirement as CIA blackops.

if he caught them the CIA would do little to them other then transfer them someplace else.
but there military branch would try to throw the book at them when there no longer worked for the CIA.
but this seldom worked as the CIA would classifie everything top secret and would not allow ANYTHING these contract personal did for the CIA to be used in a court martial.

Once in a while one of these contract agents would brag about how they could get away with anything while working for the CIA even smuggling drugs to line there own pockets while working for the CIA.

He got some of these people on tape saying they were not smuggling for the CIA but to line there own pockets.
These people were later court marshaled by there military branch when the CIA no longer needed them and lost all there military benefits

Then the CIA ether told these people tough luck.
Or got the court marial records sealed and paid these people a small CIA retirement.
Or lastly some the CIA gave new identities and paid them a retirement.

But the military when possible got rid of all there people that were working for the CIA when they got caught smuggling drugs.

But this NCIS agent said that almost all the CIA people were breaking the laws by smuggling something, Many times things other then drugs.
antiquities, gems, weapons, ECT ECT,

It seamed to be that the CIA personal all supplemented there incomes and believed that the laws did not apply to them. only a few smuggled drugs.

They weren't supplementing their incomes....that was their job. They say that for plausible deniability if they get caught. Don't forget, the CIA is above the law thanks to certain laws and order that were passed. If they happen to get caught, they have their freemasonic friends in high places to get them off.
