Explain the growth of poverty and slums in the world.

Are you kidding me? There is more than enough evidence to suspect that the CIA has been and is Dealing drugs into America. Have you ever heard of Air America? They made a movie about it with Mel Gibson! Air America was a CIA front for an airport/landing strip during the vietnam war. Along with weapons and food...Opium was smuggled on board by the South Vietnamese Government and our CIA smuggled it into America and around Vietnam for them to make money to fund the war!

"1950s to early 1970s, INDOCHINA
During U.S. military involvement in Laos and other parts of Indochina, Air
America flew opium and heroin throughout the area. Many Gl's in Vietnam
became addicts. A laboratory built at CIA headquarters in northern Laos was
used to refine heroin. After a decade of American military intervention,
Southeast Asia had become the source of 70 percent of the world's illicit
opium and the major supplier of raw materials for America's booming heroin
market."

It didn't stop there. In The 1980's the explosion of crack cocaine was started by Ricky Ross. Ricky Ross was a drug dealer in the inner cities who had CIA ties, which led back to Oliver North. The Cocaine being used to perpetuate the crack epidemic was actually cocaine that was being shipped from the Contras in Nicaragua. Once this cocaine got into the US it was made into crack and sold. The CIA made money off the crack epidemic, and at the very least knew where it was coming from and did nothing to stop it. Gary Webb did an expose on it in the San Jose Mercury News and forced an investigation, too bad that the people who were assigned to the investigation were the CIA! They were made to investigate themselves...how would you feel if Charles Manson was let go from prison and told "investigate yourself and see if you did those murders, if you did your going to jail"?

And now they are doing the same thing with the War in Afghanistan. I can't believe you people are so uneducated that you need me to source this stuff...you should be giving ME sources proving me wrong, but you won't find any.

But I am sure it is JUST A COINCIDENCE that right when the Taliban started wiping out Opium Fields and going into buisness for themselves, 9/11 happens and we need to go into Afghanistan, take out the Taliban and "restore democracy". I am sure these numbers are just a coincidence too...

This war is not about democracy, it's about oil (which all you guys are willing to say, but it goes furthur than that), Drugs, and The Military Industrial Complex making money off perpetual warfare and building permanent military bases for the Invasion of other Sovereign Middle Eastern Countries.

 

your posts are nothing short of laughable. find a girlfriend or something.

 

US officials
admitted in 1990 that they had failed to investigate or take action against
the drug operabon because of a desire not to offend their Pakistani and
Afghan allies.


this is quoted from one of the articles you posted. do you not think it is more important to turn a blind eye and have allies then to bust them for selling drugs? Im sure you of all people would say that political problems are more important then drugs. And also, since when are people being force fed drugs? Last time i checked it seemed that people usually get hooked on drugs by their own volition. It is infinitely harder to be a drug addict than not one. All these people have to do is stop using drugs.

 

Um, i do have a girlfiend, and im sure I have much more of a life than you dr dooblittle. SOrry If in my free time i like to research things and be informed about what's going on in the world.
