The whole reason we were in Afghanistan was to stop Al-Qaeda from burning the poppy fields down as this opium is a huge source of revenue for the CIA and other US departments. Then we found the biggest lithium deposit on planet earth. We are never leaving Afghanistan...Never.

You honestly think they would have used that money to do such responsible things as pay debt with it? I don't care which establishment party is in charge, they feel that they can always take more money ... why ever should they not spend all of what they have?
Does anyone remember Iran contra? It was when the CIA sold drugs like coc aine to fund classified operations in the 1980s in iran. Do you Honestly think they've stopped? They're making too much money to stop now.

Wow the DEA in bed with the cartels? The next thing ya know the CIA will be involved with them.... Oh wait, they are.
CIA “Manages” Drug Trade, Mexican Official Says
The Central Intelligence Agency’s involvement in drug trafficking is back in the media spotlight after a spokesman for the violence-plagued Mexican state of Chihuahua became the latest high-profile individual to accuse the CIA, which has been linked to narcotics trafficking for decades, of ongoing efforts to “manage the drug trade.” The infamous American spy agency refused to comment.
To think the DEA has made side deals with The Cartels is just unimaginable, NOT! Just the other day I watched a movie about some cats that robbed a CIA money drop, not sure but it may have been Fast and Furious 6. BTW it was an horrible movie.

not new news to me.
Joint Task Forces (jtf's) have been using the military to help bring in drugs for DECADES.. Most Vietnam vets know it, and I discovered it while in the USMC.
This is why the MCAS El Toro was really closed. Old news. New to the sheeple I guess.
