True on all counts. Give that man a prize. Where would the CIA and black op projects get their money from if they couldn't rely on the drug trade? Drug prohibition is probably the biggest sham ever perpetuated on the American people. Ironically, one of the most dangerous drugs known to man is actually legal, alcohol. I mean what drug out there is so additictive, kills and injures so many, and causes so much social distress? Alcohol is a horrible horrible drug when misued.

<<<certain drugs are too profitable to be made legal>>> I ran across this article last night, which mentions a tie in with the insider trading and Afghanistan heroine. It's kind of interesting how much stuff the US media reports, but never analyzes. At a certain point I wonder if what I've seen referred to as "limited hangouts" is actually real journalists slipping otherwise prohibited information out the only way they're allowed. Since their handlers won't let them do real investigative journalism, or publish the results, their only option is to sneak dry pieces of critical information out in the form of trivia. rense.com As I see it, the evidence points to the heroine trade being a major reason for the invasion of Afghanistan, if not "the" major reason. Some estimates I've seen, although I don't know how reliable those estimates are, quote Afghanistan opium being worth $200 billion a year to the heroine trade. With the US being the world's top producer of the catalyst used to turn opium into heroine, the pipeline almost amounts to icing on the cake.
