THE TALIBAN DOES WHAT THE US DID NOT

he Taliban government in Afghanistan – the nation that until recently produced 90% of the world’s heroin – has drastically reduced opium cultivation across the country. Western sources estimate an up to 99% reduction in some provinces. This raises serious questions about the seriousness of U.S. drug eradication efforts in the country over the past 20 years. And, as global heroin supplies dry up, experts tell MintPress News that they fear this could spark the growing use of fentanyl – a drug dozens of times stronger than heroin that already kills more than 100,000 Americans yearly.

It has already been called “the most successful counter-narcotics effort in human history.” Armed with little more than sticks, teams of counter-narcotics brigades travel the country, cutting down Afghanistan’s poppy fields.

In April of last year, the ruling Taliban government announced the prohibition of poppy farming, citing both their strong religious beliefs and the extremely harmful social costs that heroin and other opioids – derived from the sap of the poppy plant – have wrought across Afghanistan.

I wonder which of these families made the most money off of the drug trade coming out of Afghanistan:

  • Goldman Sachs Family
  • The Rothschilds Families of Paris and London
  • The Rockefeller Family
  • The Warburg Family of Hamburg
  • The Lehmans Family
  • The Lazard Family of Paris
  • Kuhn Loebs of New York Family
  • The Israel Moses Seif Family of Rome

And HOW we could prove the connection?? These are the sub-humans who cause all the world’s evils to benefit themselves.
To understand how to remove them from our reality, we have to move our focus onto them -- in the same detailed way we already focus on the horrific results of their investments.

The US has never actually made a serious effort to end drugs at the source. They USED the drug trade as a means for connected people in power to get rich and to fund illicit, illegal off the books activities. Lets face reality…the US Federal Government is probably the most corrupt, criminal enterprise on the planet, making all others look like amateurs by comparison.

You are coreect, Dan. I can hardly believe it myself, but…
I think that is the biggest hurdle we face. So many people are deluded. They believe in their hearts their govt is benevolent. Facts be damned…
Our side has come to the horrific conclusion that not only is that not true, but that its quite likely the people in power are actively trying to do us harm, yes, to the point of genocide. I base that conclusion on observations of patterns of behaviour observed throughout history. If I am correct, they are very close to making a gun grab and starting the camps and boxcars stage of things.
The incestuous nature of their relationship with the media is resposnible for a large part of this problem. We can’t change the fact 80% of the worlds population are rubes. The left has figured out how to manipulate these masses with emotion. We cannot win without that 80% (or, I need a whole lot more bullets than I originally thought I would need).
The battle is for hearts and minds, grok that. We win the minds of the 80% over that believe climate change is real, we only need to shoot the 10% actually being communists.

I always heard and read “piles and pounds” of cocaine flown into Arkansas via a 3 letter agency.
I later met a person who had some intimate connections and he blew his nose all the time…….

It reads like drug war propaganda. The Afghans have been using opium for — I am guessing — thousands of years. Plus it’s been a profitable export. So when the Taliban goes in and says “extremely harmful social costs that heroin and other opioids – derived from the sap of the poppy plant” I would like to know what these “extremely harmful” social costs are. It’s a real question. Medically, opium is a boon. Its most serious medical side effect? Constipation. In accurate doses, without harmful additives, that’s it. So where’s the beef?

Drug addiction can lead to horrific costs both personally and publicly. It causes premature deaths, broken homes and all manners of misery. In fact the ONLY thing worse than usage of such drugs is the cost society faces from the insane “War On Drugs” that the government has waged against freedom. We now get BOTH. The terrible social costs of drug usage AND the PLANNED loss of freedom the “War On Drugs” has brought us.

Count all the bad actors involved. Deep state. DOS. U.N., World Bank, CIA, etc. Even Monsanto. Monsanto was approached to provide their terminator gene for splicing into Poppy, Marijuana, and Coca plants. All illicit drug plants everywhere, can be bred out of existence in two crop cycles. They declined, and told all the other deep state component actors that global counter narcotic forces needed to be put in their place. As the leaches (opioids) who sucked the money blood out of opium, and opiates moved on to other illicit funding sources, the Taliban moved back in.
