BUSH POLICIES: OPIUM FOR THE MASSES

THE GREAT "TALIBAN/OPIUM" LIE

DRUGLORDS AND THEIR AMERICAN FRIENDS

By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER

Years ago, a Los Angeles police detective, Michael C. Ruppert, discovered ties between CIA operations at the massive influx of crack cocaine into America.  The American policy of working with druglords Mexico, Columbia or Southeast Asia, allies of convenience against "leftists" has been an open secret for decades.  Check out Michael’s website at:  www.copvcia.com

Now we are playing the story, "Taliban Finances Terror with Opium."  Then why did we invade Afghanistan only after the Taliban outlawed opium?  Why did we ally ourselves with druglords, now being investigated for war crimes, in our ill fated bid to overthrow the Taliban?

When America occupied Iraq, why did it become an opium exporter, something it never was under Saddam? Now the Obama administration and their war guru, Richard Holbrook find American policiy in Afghanistan is tied to opium production and export with production increases in US and British controlled areas reaching record levels every year.

With prisons in America overflowing, 2 million locked up and millions more "in the system," drugs have nearly destroyed America.  Does anyone realistically believe that any of this would have gone on without total complicity at the highest levels of the American government?

For years it has all been nothing but pretend.  Huge fields constituting thousands and thousands of acres of huge red flowers that can be seen from miles away and easily eradicated with simple over the counter chemicals most of us have in our homes are invisible to our UAV aircraft, satellites and even the troops that carefully leave the opium crops undisturbed.

Here in the US, the DEA can find a single marijana plant hidden in your tomato patch from 5 miles away but misses the worlds biggest and fastest expanding opium crop from 5 feet away.

We watched fuel prices rise 300% and cocaine and heroin prices plunge for 8 years of Bush rule.  Anything thinking this in coincidence is blind.

Mike Ruppert spoke up.  His offices were ransacked, he was poisoned and fled the country.

If you think powers inside government that would kill thousands of their own citizens for a few boatloads of stolen Iraqi oil would hesitate to do as much for billions in drug cash, you haven’t been paying attention.
