The Real Drug Lords: A brief history of CIA involvement in the Drug Trade »
Posted By populist 2 months, 2 weeks ago in News
According to Alfred W. McCoy in The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia, CIA arms, money, and disinformation enabled Corsican criminal syndicates in Marseille to wrestle control of labor unions from the Communist Party. The Corsicans gained political influence and control over the docks — ideal conditions for cementing a long-term partnership with mafia drug distributors, which turned Marseille into the postwar heroin capital of the Western world. Marseille’s first heroin laboratones were opened in 1951, only months after the Corsicans took over the waterfront.

For me it depends on which drugs and how we go about legalizing them. I am also for lowering the drinking age to the age of suffrage.

FYI my only drugs are nicotine, caffeine, sugar, alcohol, BC Powders, my blood pressure meds., Dayquil rarely, and for a short time Chantix.

If they can't get rich from drug sales, they most likely will go to human trafficing

Very Informative article. I didn't see anything in the article about the AUS in Columbia and the powerful Billionaire Carl Lendner ( Illicit Arms dealing with a U S identified terrorist organization).

Don't recognize the name? Google Carl Lendner and John McCain. You will find thousands of articles you can read about this guy and his tie with McCain, just one of the many allied with McCain I might add. While you're at it why not try Tim Spicer or Aegis. This guy was so bad the United Nations passed resolutions making illegal some of his nefarious activities. He got as a minimum more than a quarter of a Billion for his mercenary activities in Iraq.
McCain has some real bad guys in his camp. I mean bad! -

This kind of CIA operation has been going on all over the world for along time. At present one of the main operations are US ZionCons with connections to the Bush administration operating in the heroin market via Afghanistan and Turkey. You didn't imagine that Afghan "tribal leaders" could dominate the world market without a little help from their international friends did you?

The worst part is when all this dirty work is performed in the name of "American interests". Code for anyhting to protect American business interest even if that meant toppeling legitimate governments.
