5-26-06 What About Afghanistan - part 3
I have to say that I don't get terribly excited about conspiracy theories. It isn't that I don't enjoy this sort of "mind candy" on a regular basis, it's just that I'm not a "player" in the world. I'm just an ordinary citizen, doing whatever's necessary to enjoy an ordinary life. So when it comes to this sort of thing, understand that I'm posting these things from a basic perspective of promoting a sense of open-mindedness about what may or may not be going on in the world.
From that perspective, the idea that the world-wide illegal drug trade is an integral and significant portion of the world's commerce has to be taken for granted. I mean, billions and billions of dollars flowing around every year is very significant, don't you think?
In addition, I would find it very difficult to believe that any activity involving billions and billions of dollars in cash every year would ever be an activity that world government entities would EVER sneeze at and say, "Oh my goodness! That kind of activity is morally wrong!"
Here's links to two people that have personal stories to tell the world about the world-wide illegal drug trade...

Anyone who believes that the CIA, British Intelligence, or the Mosad would be standing on such moral high ground as to not dig into that kind of cash because "drugs are bad" has to be living in a fantasy world. The propositions that Michael C. Rupert and James Casbolt expound at such great length upon are not popular subjects, of course, because their testimony is involved with such a difficult to swallow pill.
Personally, I don't think it's such a bad thing. It's just basically an insane thing. Why profit on human misery?
Anyway, the idea here is that I believe people should be open minded about the various possibilities for cabal and hidden agendas and so forth. It's just a basic exercise in not remaining ignorant of what may or may not be going on in the world.
One perspective of this whole thing about the world-wide illegal drug trade is that the cash from this kind of activity is sometimes claimed to be one of the important aspects of the stock market. It's a great place to launder money. If the billions and billions in cash, or even a significant portion of that cash, runs through Wall Street, then making drugs legal would, of course, crash the stock market immediately.
So that would be one of the arguments against making any of the currently illegal drugs legal. "Whaddya wanna do, ass-hole, crash the whole stock market???"
Meanwhile, the opium crop in Afghanistan is moving ahead quite nicely, thank you...
And back in Washington, DC, the current trend regarding the CIA seems to be that the Bush administration wants to focus on cutting off its head, so to speak, and re-organizing the whole operation so that it's less autonomous and is controlled more directly by the executive branch. After all, if there's billions of dollars of untrace-able cash flowing through there... well, you get the idea.
I mean, what's more important and valuable to crooks, liars, and cheats? The "intelligence" the CIA gathers, or the billions of dollars of invisible cash made from the drug trade?
Basically, this perspective really makes a whole heck of lot more sense to me than the idea that the US government is waging a "War on Drugs" while the availability of illegal drugs in the country has never been abated in the least during all these years. I mean, if that paltry little bunch of nutbag religious zealots in Afghanistan could completely ERASE the illegal drug trade in their own country all those years, what sort of outcome would it be in America if the US government was REALLY out to erase it here? And remember, the Taliban didn't erase the illegal drug trade INTO Afghanistan all those years, they erased the world's NUMBER ONE PRODUCER of opium from the world market!
So, let's not split hairs about this. The testimony is freely available on the internet, the outcomes of various conflicts and events over the years clearly lines up with the whole idea, and the world-wide illegal drug trade continues to thrive without a dent. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to observe the obvious.
