The Multi-billion Dollar Laundering of Drug Profits. United Nations Reports Record Afghan Opium Production
Corporate mainstream media
outlets politely warn of “failed” eradication, and of the spread of
“unchecked” opium cultivation, the corruption of the Karzai
administration, and profits to Taliban drug syndicates in the wake of
the planned departure of American military forces in 2014.
What this popular
characterization studiously avoids is the fact that this narcotics
nightmare scenario is a triumph for the CIA and the world economy. The
multi-billion dollar laundering of drug profits supports the Western
banking system and the world economy. As explained by Michael C. Ruppert
in Crossing the Rubicon, “the CIA is Wall Street, and drug money is king”. Drug money, in Ruppert’s analysis, is the steroids of the financial world.
The US occupation of Afghanistan
existed in large part to revitalize and protect (not “eradicate) the
opium market, and to establish apermanent drug empire.
This, along with oil and gas related agendas, was a central pillar of
the Anglo-American geostrategy that the 9/11 false flag operation and
the “war on terrorism” made possible. The Taliban’s destruction of the
Afghan opium crop in 2001—economic warfare aimed at the West, designed
to hobble world stock markets—was one of the many triggers that inspired
the subsequent US attack and occupation.
Although US military forces are
allegedly scheduled to depart from Afghanistan in 2014 (and simply moved
to nearby areas, for coming wars in Syria, etc.), the actual control of
the opium racket will never be
relinquished. Given that the president Hamid Karzai is a longtime CIA
asset, (his brother Ahmed Walid Karzai, a drug lord, was a known CIA
asset) and given that the various Afghan warlords are also CIA assets,
it is “in good hands”.
Narcotics profits go “unchecked”, stock markets hit record highs.
