...Two years later, we should have better connected the dots with Gary Webb released his first documention of CIA involvement in Iran/Contra and drug trade with Nicaraguan drug lords. This resulted in the importation of crack coc aine into American cities, which quickly devastated many poor neighborhoods. His work was panned by much of the MSM, but his legacy lives on. He had court documents to back up many of his claims, showing CIA involvement with drug cartels.
If we need more evidence..... we can look at opium production in Afganistan since NATO occupation. The Taliban had all but wiped out poppy production. There is historical evidence of CIA involvement with Noriega. There is the legend of Mena, Arkansas. There is Barry Seal. The evidence for CIA involvement in global drug trafficking is over whelming. Why is this still referred to as a theory?
Finally, since this is not a theory and is fact, why are people not more outraged by this? Our government is locking up users with one hand (infamous "war on drugs") while supplying it with the other. We should be up in arms, but meanwhile it's okay, as long as we have a Super Bowl to watch.

OP is 100% correct.
The way I see it
1. The global elite as they exist today come from drug traders. From the real silk road and the "spice" trade. To the opium wars between Britain and China. The elite have always prospered with drug money. wink wink royal family wink wink /sarcasm/
2. the wars of drugs is a farce. It has several functions and none are aimed at stopping drugs. first function is to eliminate competition in the drug trade. second is to have an excuse to over police the poor, Third there is the side benefit of the poor becoming felons losing the right to vote and becoming a resource of living bodies for the criminal justice system and the newly developing private prison system. Fourth, the drug users and their children and physically and mentally weakened and so are more open to manipulation and are less of a threat to the social order. Just think how Britain destroyed China with opium.
3. The banking system is propped up with trafficking drug money. There was an investigation on money laundering several years ago and when they turned to look at the banks, the investigation was quashed. Banksters make too much money for the elite for the drug trade to ever be stopped.
4. The CIA runs drugs and uses the money fund it off the the book operations. The drug money funds terrorism. And if you look at Mexico, the cartels control the Mexican government and the CIA controls the cartels. This is Iran contra on steroids, it never stopped.
5. The military act to enforce the drug trade monopoly
If you were able to follow the money I think the it would be structured like this
1. producers, like the opium fields in Afghanistan, which the US "liberated and protected" from the Taliban. Or Columbia where the US trained death squads protected the drug trade monopoly from "communist guerrillas" otherwise known as the competition.
2. drug mules, like CIA and MI6, who mule the drugs and make money from black ops. This is/was power base for a certain CIA director/POTUS. Iran contra was not Reagan's op it was his VP's.
3. Banksters laundering money and make billions if not trillions.
4. Global elite, owners and controllers and main beneficiaries of the drug trade. How do you think the .1% hold on to power in the stagnant and deflationary global economy. Think the British Royal family is irrelevant, think again.
You could go on and on about how royalty, certain families, intelligence agencies, politicians and banksters are all related to one another by blood, marriage and money.

Kill the Messenger
A reporter becomes the target of a vicious smear campaign that drives him to the point of suicide after he exposes the CIA's role in arming Contra rebels in Nicaragua and importing coc aine into California. Based on the true story of journalist Gary Webb.
Ok movie with Jeremy Renner about the CIA flooding America with coc aine. Its how they fund most of their wars I suspect.
Sadly though even on here you still get people defending these people LOL. Just shows you the power of propaganda.
No, I think taxpayers pay for wars. The money from these CIA (and other intel community) operations goes into slush funds and is used to pay off politicians to start wars, lobbying, buying weapons for third parties to start wars/rebellions/coup de tats, etc., it all comes down to flavor-of-the-day-agenda for their bosses. They also use the money to fund (and use) the adult and child sex trade, human trafficking, illegal weapons trade, etc., which apparently makes blackmail/extortion fun and profitable I suppose. The problem with taxpayer money on covert programs is that there is almost always an audit trail and therefore evidence of illegal activity. By collecting, steering and/or using money from illegal sources, there is no audit trail, certainly no accountability, no political control and of course no hard proof of illegal activity.
And just so you know, the CIA (and other intel operatives) make a lot more money off of weapons deals than they do drugs, the world illegal weapons trade is about 8 to 12 times larger than the world drug trade. I remember back in the late 80's, some Russians we knew and were reasonably "friendly" with, were selling nukes that were the size of softballs and with all the triggering and batteries, would fit in a briefcase. They were selling them for roughly the price of a BMW 328i, I remember the sales pitch ;-)
The intelligence agencies are just the covert arm of the money power, just like the UN is the political arm, it's just the intel agencies are all working together and they have a lot more "bite." The cold war was staged, just to make everyone think otherwise. If you tell CSIS (or any intel agency) something "hot" or they collect it from comms, the NSA/CIA (and most of the other intel agencies) have it in seconds to minutes. They all trade info, like good little comrades and filter the good stuff for their "bosses" ;-)
To make a NWO/OWG, all you have to do is have all countries aligned through economic treaties so that everyone is on the same page. It's not much of a push after that to get all the intel agencies (who are already on the same page) to force political change.

Well they didnt for that one, thats the whole point, Reagen used funds from CIA drug trafficking to fund contra rebels and fight a war Congress denied him funding for. Google Iran Contra.

You would think so but that seems very much doubtful, as difficult as it is to truly gauge the value of such a trade, global trafficking of narcotics even with conservative estimates eclipses almost all other commodities including weapons. Narcotics are easily one of the most commonly traded commodities on the planet compared to food, clothes and building materials.

Call me ignorant, but this very subject but is obvious, documented, proven fact can be used to tear apart any argument that anyone poses in favor of the governments position; wars all over the world, vaccines, media, anything.
And this is one of the key reasons why our inner city black neighborhoods are in shambles. I don't believe the assertion that drug trafficking was used specifically to fund illegal covert ops around the world; they can just get the money anyway they feel like, i am sure. Trafficking drugs into this country's poor inner city neighborhoods, which makes up a minority of the geographic mass in this country, and seizing the profits from the participants, seems like a very drawn and roundabout way to finance these murder operations.
These drugs were trafficked specifically for the purpose of weakening and subjugating the popualtion. Especially blacks. They could have trafficked this stuff all over the country i they wanted, but poor black neighborhoods was the pick. Also the government was running drugs way before the 80's crack explosion. They have been running heroin into poor areas since the 60's.
lsd was a government invention, which somehow found it's way into the hands of distributors and dealers.

Excellent, I agree. I think non-Whites in general are easy targets for exploitation and racial cullings. But then, I also believe the core Elites who really run this planet are closet Nazis. But we are ALL expendable cannon fodder and slave labor to them.
It would not surprise me if crack coke was intentionally developed to make it as addictive as possible.
In 2014 the Afghan opium cultivation has once again hit a record high, according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime’s 2014 Afghan Opium Survey.
