Bush's Legacy in Afghanistan: More Heroin on the Streets of America

These criminals have been in charge of our nation for several generations now, controlling us all through their manipulation of drugs, crime and every branch of government. The question becomes: How can we ever get rid of such an intrenched group of people? We can't even begin to know who all is actually involved (knowingly) in the various aspects of this vast operation.

Many who support one or another part of the game, such as the "war on drugs" actually believe that they have the best interests of us all in their hearts as they valiantly try to save us from the evils of addiction and degridation caused by illicit drugs, completely oblivious to the reality that they are supporting the criminals in doing so. The CIA has such widespread influence and resources that even an attempt to get at the truths would begin a "purge" of those who oppose them that most of us wouldn't even recognize as such; any deaths caused would appear to be little more than "accidents", "natural causes" or even "natural disasters" and "terrorist attacks" for more excuses to impose rigid military responses to "fix" the problem.

Where can you begin? Who do you take down first? How can we even start to approach this problem when none of us know who is involved behind the scenes, beyond those that are the apparent patsies?

I don't have answers; these are my REAL questions. I want to fix this as much as anyone, but the scope of the problem seems to require the same level of penetration that they have already achieved after generations of manipulation of governments with the obviously whole-hearted assistance of the world banking system.

In Love,

The book The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia by Alfred McCoy, first published in 1972, documents the CIA's involvement in running drugs around the globe since WWII. Reporter Gary Webb's "Dark Alliance" series of stories, published in the Los Angeles Times in 1996, along with Whiteout: The CIA, Drugs and the Press by Alexander Cockburn, update the story with details of CIA drug trafficking used to finance covert operations in Central America. The Iran Contra hearings also revealed some of this stuff, so it's pretty much on the record, and yet the mainstream press won't touch the subject with a ten foot pole--what happened to Gary Webb still serves as a powerful object lesson to journalists everywhere. Regaining control of the nearly entire world supply of opium was probably as critical to the invasion of Afghanistan as gaining control of Iraq's oil reserves was to toppling Saddam Hussein.

The U.S. government predicted that, as they interdicted heroin production in South America that Mexican heroin would not satisfy the 18 ton a year sophisticated American consumer. That prediction is proven by the deadly spiking of Mexican heroin with fentanyl which has killed more than 500 Americans in the past year.

As the government gets control of the fentanyl production the second part of their prediction about heroin will come to pass.

SEE: Afghanistan Opium Cultivation Skyrockets...and none too soon

According to the "heroin" section of the 2006 Drug Threat Assessment of the U.S.-D.O.J.:
"....shortages in South American heroin availability would most likely result in an increase in Southwest Asian (Afghanistan) heroin distribution in U.S. drug markets"

The United States government has been predicting, hell orchestrating an increase in Afghan heroin distribution into the United States. Increasing the Afghan crop now is the only way to fill the 18 metric ton annual U.S. demand(United States--Canada Border Drug Threat Assessment - December 2001-PDF) and still supply the record levels of heroin flooding Europe and Great Britain.

New World Order Pawn:   King George is only a New World Order pawn. This excerpt from Ted Gunderson, former Senior Special Agent-in-Charge of Los Angeles, California, tells the deeper darker motives behind the influx of mind numbing drugs into American cities:

"On May 1, 1776, after having been commissioned to devise a plan to control the wealth, natural resources, and manpower of the entire world, Adam Weishaupt, a Jesuit who had defected from Christianity, announced on behalf of the Illuminati the twenty-five goals for achieving this plan. The goals included the corruption of youth through sex and drugs, as well as control of the press (See the U.S. Congressional Record February 9, 1917, page 2947, where Congressman Calloway announced that the J.P. Morgan interests bought 25 of America’s leading newspapers, and inserted their own editors, in order to control the media). "

Well of course there's more heroin on the streets of America, and there's going to be lots more. Who did you think controls the global drug market? Or rather, I should ask, which family did you think controls the global drug market?

#1 Congressman X rubber-stamped every bad idea George Bush ever had.

Pic: 2800 dead G.I.s (stamping sound effect). Rubber stamp image, OKAY, with Congressman's signature underneath.

Pic: Newspaper story, "1500 Dead; Bush Blamed" (stamping sound effect)Rubber stamp image, "OKAY," with Congressman's signature underneath.

Pic: Osama bin Laden, caption Bush Never Got him; (stamping sound effect) Rubber stamp image, OKAY, with Congressman's signature underneath.

As a young man, George Bush took illegal drugs. As a candidate, he lied about it. Now Afghanistan is the wholesale heroin capital of the world. What about that, President Bush?

Dead U.S Troops NOT okay!
Dead Katrina victims NOT okay!
Live Osama NOT okay!
Narcotics flood U.S. NOT okay!

Don't rubber-stamp Bush failures. Dump rubber-stamp Congressman X. (Pic: Stamp across face-"NOT okay!")

#1 Congressman X rubber-stamped every bad idea George Bush ever had.

George Bush invaded Afghanistan and bungled the war on terror. Now the country is growing illegal drugs for export to American young people.

(Pic: Syringe hitting tied up forearm, sucking blood).

As a young man, George Bush took illegal drugs. As a candidate, he lied about it. Now Afghanistan is the wholesale heroin capital of the world. What about that, Candidate X?

Candidate X has rubber-stamped ALL of George Bush's bad ideas, but increasing the supply of illegal drugs in our town has got to be worst.

Vote no on Bush, no on heroin, no on Congressman X.

It is great to see in these comments that at least BuzzFlash readers are well aware of the long history of CIA and covert US military involvement in the Drug trade. The Taliban drew the ire of the American imperialists when they destroyed the opium crop in 2000. And it is no coincidence that after the false-flag war provocation of 9/11 the neo-cons went after Afghanistan first. There were at least two goals of that invasion; building an oil/gas pipeline across the country, and restoring opium production. When you look at the dollar value of each, it is clear that opium had to be the higher priority. Now you understand the phrase: "Mission Accomplished" Mattnet "All great truths begin as blasphemies." G.B.Shaw 9eleven.info

It's not just drugs in Afghanistan. Former Wall Street Journal reporter Alexander Cockburn has written an excellent study with Jeffrey St. Clair entitled "Whiteout." They offer well-researched evidence that since the end of WWII, the CIA has organized, supervised, and protected the international drug trade as a means of financing its covert operations (such as overthrowing the democratically elected governments, whether in Iran in the early 'fifties, Nicaragua in the 'eighties, or Venezuela in the present.)

Even more chilling, Cockburn and St. Clair provide vivid proof of how the mainstream American media has knowingly hushed up the whole thing. Any journalist who wants to put a swift end to his or her career need only write an expose of the CIA-drug connection. Example: Gary Webb, who proved that the CIA was behind the crack-cocained plauge that hit LA in the 'nineties and then spread to the rest of the country.

Liars prosper, cheaters expand, and disrespect for the law of our land, the constitution provokes weak protests of Republican leadership. Is it any wonder,that the only export of a country, prior to the Taliban, of any consequence, was poppy? Nothing more than a continuance of short term benefits of more cash in circulation, and payoff to the Afghan warlords, that supported us in the overthrowing of the Taliban. With the added benefit, of a ready made excuse for never leaving Afhanistan, due to the "War on Drugs/Terror/Poverty/Long Term Memory". Our borders are nonexistant(virtual)and law enforcement for aliens results in ACLU protection, of the law breakers. Where's the respect?

Everything is going according to plan.

Afghanistan & drugs: according to Mike Ruppert, the US gov't and the CIA has been using drug money from Afghanistan for decades. The launder it through the stock market. The stock market crashed just as the Taliban stopped all growth of the poppies. Iraq: Greg Palast says that main purpose of Iraq invasion was to keep the oil off the market. He says the history of Iraq has been to keep as much of their oil in the ground because it reduces prices in other countries. The oil companies can't make big profits. Neither can Saudi Arabia. If that was their goal, they've done very well. It will be decades before Iraq can do much with their oil - unless they throw us out. The rest of it: tax cuts for the rich (mostly repubs), defense contractors- repubs and Bush investment buddies. Also Cheney's options with Halliburton. Getting rid of jobs: gut the Democrats base. No money and no power. Secret agendas and no discussion anywhere outside of congress on what to do. We're back where we started. The rich have everything including power. Every one else is reduced to poor. Destroy the education system and there is no one who knows anything. Exactly who's side is the government on? It's not our side. And the Democrats are the enablers. They talk a little, but do nothing.

So, the profits from opium rise dramatically in Afghanistan, filling the coffers for more arms acquisition for exactly the kinds of people we don't want armed. Does this present situation remind ANYONE of events from a few short decades ago in the same locale? We can expect warfare to escalate in the South of Afghanistan, and an already untenable area of the country will serve as a secure base of operations for expanded attacks in the rest of the country. Afghanistan is another country about to implode. Our window of opportunity to effect positive change there has closed. Through mismanagement,ignorance, and greed, we have wasted billions in a country that now has virtually no infrastructure and no security for it's population to attempt to recover from 40 years of war.

In Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" we read about a lower caste system that ended with the lowest caste being systematically drugged with the then-fictional "Soma" that kept the poorest people sedated and non-threatening to the ruling class. Rome too knew an intoxicated society was easier to control. Coincidence? Don't make me laugh.

And the Democrats too.

Herion flooding the streets of America just in time to ramp up the drug war for the '08 election.

Hillary and McCain denouncing the evil of illegal drugs.

More minority kids swept up in highly publicized local and federal law enforcement drug raids of our inner cities.

More violent criminals released from prisons to make room for non-violent criminals serving draconian drug sentences.

Organized crime bosses lavish contributions to their favorite politicians because the longer the "war on drugs" lasts the higher their profit margins.

More fear.

Our politicians are as much to blame for this as anyone. Maybe more so. The "war on drugs" is a diversionary tactic. A cat's paw to keep our attention on bullshit "issues," illegal immigration, gay marriage, abortion, that neither party really wants to solve.

It's important to remember that those who have supported Bush in the media and in the Congress are just as guilty and have just as much blood on their hands. We need to remember this as we "consume" the news and as we "vote" in November. And "blind faith in bad leadership is not patriotism", for all you sheep out there.
