Drugs and the Financing of US Sponsored Conflict

"Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on."
Winston Churchill

"[In 2001]Pakistan and the United States have turned to a tried and trusted 'friend' in their efforts to exert control over events in Afghanistan - convicted Pakistani drug baron and former parliamentarian, Ayub Afridi.... Without fanfare, Afridi was freed from prison in Karachi last Thursday after serving just a few weeks of a seven-year sentence for the export of 6.5 tons of hashish, seized at Antwerp, Belgium, in the 1980s. No reasons were given for Afridi's release..... It is a matter of record that top US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officials believed in the early 1980s that they would never be able to justify a multibillion-dollar budget from the government to provide support to the mujahideen in the fight against the Red Army. As a result, they decided to generate funds through the poppy-rich Afghan soil and heroin production and smuggling to finance the Afghan war. Afridi was the kingpin of this plan.... "
Asia Times, 5 Dec, 2001

"Neither does the last State Department report explain why Haji Ayub, a major Pakistani drug baron, who had voluntarily surrendered to U.S authorities, returned to Pakistan in 1999 after spending a mere three and a half years in a U.S prison ....The saga of Haji Ayub Afridi is a good illustration of the troubling links between traffickers and politicians in Pakistan, as well as the shady deals made by the United States with both sides..."
The World Geopolitics of Drugs - Annual Report 1998/9

"Afridi lives in Jalalabad, a half-hour outside Peshawar in a compound protected by anti aircraft guns and armed tribesmen. His responsibility is to keep the flow of heroin and hashish moving to local distribution and sales groups in New York, Newark, NJ, L.A. and San Francisco."
War's Bastard Son

"[My fiancée, a CIA contract agent, ] was involved in something truly ugly. She was arranging for large quantities of weapons to be loaded onto ships leaving for Iran. At the same time she was working with Mafia associates of New Orleans Mafia boss Carlos Marcello to coordinate the movement of service boats that were bringing large quantities of heroin into the city. The boats arrived at Marcello controlled docks, unmolested by even the New Orleans police she introduced me to, along with divers, military men, former Green Berets and CIA personnel.... The service boats were retrieving the heroin from oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, oil rigs in international waters, oil rigs built and serviced by Brown and Root. Disgusted and heart broken at witnessing my fiancée and my government smuggling drugs, I ended the relationship.... To this day a CIA report prepared as a result of my complaint remains classified and exempt from release pursuant to Executive Order of the President in the interests of national security and because it would reveal the identities of CIA agents."
Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) narcotics officer, Michael Ruppert, Oct 24, 2000

"After meeting with the CIA's Bermudez, Blandon testified in court, he and Meneses started raising money for the Contra revolution by selling drugs in L.A.... Meneses supplied Blandon with tons of cocaine and with assault weapons, which Blandon sold to young blacks in L.A. Blandon's profits went back to Honduras and Nicaragua, to support the CIA's Contra army. ...NEWSWEEK magazine on two occasions printed interviews and other evidence indicating that the CIA and the DEA both cooperated in the Contras' guns-and-drugs pipeline. ...According to the MERCURY NEWS, agents of four law enforcement agencies --DEA, U.S. Customs, the L.A. County Sheriff's Office, and the California Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement -- say their investigations into Ross's empire were thwarted by the CIA or by unnamed 'national security' interests. The rise of the crack industry has had lasting effects on communities across America. In 1980, one out of every 453 Americans was incarcerated. By 1993, one out of every 189 Americans was incarcerated. Between 1980 and 1993, the U.S. prison population tripled (from 329,821 to 1,053,738).....Prisons are now the fastest-growing item in almost all state budgets. California spends more on prisons than it does on colleges and universities.... Former defense contractors are now getting into the lucrative incarceration business. ... Almost three quarters of new admissions to prisons are now African-American or Hispanic. If present trends continue for another 14 years, an absolute majority of African American males between the ages of 18 and 40 will be in prison or in detention camps. ....A secret war indeed."
'America's Secret War', Rachael's Weekly, Aug 1996

"In Laos... The CIA airline, Air America, ran weapons to the army and brought the Hmong's crop back out to market. Some of the massive profits from the operations were laundered by CIA agent Michael Hand through an Australian bank he founded and were used to finance other CIA operations behind Congress' back. Many veterans of CIA drug operations in Asia went on to star in the agency's secret wars in Central America in the 1980s, where the above pattern was repeated. The Nicaraguan contras were partially funded by cocaine operations, smuggled to and from the US on customs-free supply flights. CIA assets in Honduras, Costa Rica, El Salvador and Panama helped facilitate the trade."
from the book 'The CIAs Greatest Hits' by Mark Zapezauer

"Forty million people, along with the most biologically diverse, endangered ecosystems in the world, are under attack by the U. S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and mercenaries paid by oil companies. This war is fought with bombs and bullets, as well as with herbicides and media misinformation. The cause of the war is as diverse as the region's terrain and its ethnic variety The rapacious greed of multinationals like Occidental Petroleum, Shell, BP, Texaco, and their counterparts in the Colombian elite is the main problem, but cocaine use in the U.S. is the fuel that fires this inferno. Drug exports pay for the weapons of the right-wing government-backed death squads and the revolutionary guerrillas....Colombia is now the third largest recipient of U.S. military aid after Israel and Egypt. Direct U.S. military intervention looms on the horizon for this region, which exports more oil to the U.S. than the entire Middle East. President Clinton is giving the nod to a death-squad offensive. These squads work closely with Colombian military and together they are responsible for the deaths of 25,000 people this decade-300,000 since 1945. Violence has displaced 1.2 million people in the last three years (mostly women and children). Death squads guard petroleum facilities and shipments of cocaine. The head of these squads, Carlos Castano, is a key player in the Cali Drug Cartel, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration. Castano took over the direction of the death squads from another CIA asset, Colombian Army General Van Martinez. CIA involvement in Colombia began in the 1950s and grew along with the drug trade. In 1991 the CIA established a Colombian naval intelligence group that became a key part of the death squads' continuing terror campaign against guerrillas and anyone who speaks out for change or peace. Many death squad leaders graduated from the School of the Americas in Fort Benning, Georgia, [in the US] where thousands of Latin American soldiers have been trained in counterinsurgency and torture..."

"Cocaine traffickers and money-launderers swarmed through the Nicaraguan contra movement in the 1980s to a far greater extent than was ever known, according to a report by the CIA's inspector general. One contra trafficker claimed Ronald Reagan's National Security Council cleared his work. The NSC's favorite covert airline also was under suspicion for drug connections, the report stated. In an historic document released on Oct. 8 -- and nearly ignored by the major news media -- CIA Inspector General Frederick Hitz confirmed long-standing allegations of cocaine trafficking by contra forces. Hitz identified more than 50 contras and contra-related entities implicated in the drug trade. Hitz detailed, too, how the Reagan administration protected these drug operations and frustrated federal investigations which threatened to expose these crimes in the mid-1980s. In perhaps the most stunning disclosure, Hitz published evidence that drug trafficking and money laundering tracked directly into Reagan's National Security Council where Lt. Col. Oliver L. North oversaw contra operations."

CIA Cocaine Smuggling Crack Epidemic - 'Dark Alliance' - City Times Book Review
". . .The CIA did not just deal drugs during the Iran Contra era. It has done so for the full fifty years of its history. I will give you evidence which will show that the CIA and many figures such as Richard Secord, Ted Shackley, Tom Clines, Felix Rodriguez and George Herbert Walker Bush, who was DCI when I first became exposed to Agency drug dealing, have been selling drugs to Americans since the Vietnam era."

'Al Martin is the Man Who Knows Too Much'

"And who is Al Martin? After Al Martin retired as a Lt. Commander from the US Naval Reserves, his life went into the fast lane as a black ops specialist. His first intelligence assignment was in Peru, then he was tapped for a CIA-sanctioned operation smuggling American Express cards into Argentina in 1979. After that he met US Government-sponsored con man Lawrence Richard Hamil, a Department of Defense shadow player, who taught him the ropes of profitable covert operations. In 1984, Martin began marketing Hamil's 'deals' through his Florida based Southeast Resources, Inc. At a meeting with General Richard V. Secord and Hamil, Martin was briefed about Iran Contra operations and allowed to view voluminous CIA white papers concerning Operation Black Eagle, the code-name for the Bush-Casey-North program involving US Government-sanctioned narcotics trafficking, illicit weapons deals and wholesale fraud.  Now Al Martin tells the facts that mainstream media has ignored or covered-up for over 15 years. He names names, dates and events which no one has dared write or publish before. This entire uncensored manuscript of 'The Conspirators' includes 337 pages of Al Martin raw and uncensored."

DRUGGING AMERICA
A Trojan Horse
By Rodney Stich

DEFRAUDING AMERICA
Encyclopedia of Secret Operations by the CIA, DEA, and Other Covert Agencies

"This website, and the books referred to, can reveal to you information discovered by government agents (CIA, DEA, FBI, Customs, FAA), drug smugglers, and other insiders that is unknown by most people, and covered up by most government and non-government sources. Vast areas of misconduct in government are revealed through the eyes of key government agents who were either there, or discovered evidence of the misconduct as part of their official duties. As it relates to the most visible consequences of misconduct in government that insured the success of the September 11, 2001, hijackers and encouraged the hijacking attempts, suggest looking at the following:......

An event such as September 11, 2001, requires a congressional investigation to determine why the common-sense hard corrective actions were not taken that would have absolutely prevented the four sets of hijackers from taking over the four airliners. Several government agencies had the legal and moral responsibility to take the corrective actions that were obvious for the past 40 years of fatal hijackings, and several government entities had the responsibility to investigate why corrective actions were not taken..... The terrorist attacks conveniently shifted attention away from the corruption in government that was nearing the state of being recognized by the American people."
