Afghanistan: Fraud, Opium and TalibanPosted on Oct 23, 2009
If an athlete is caught cheating in the Olympics or another sports competition, that person is disqualified, and it is seen as a disgrace. In the case of the recent election in Afghanistan, however, cheating has been rewarded and even praised by no less than the president of the United States, says Link TV’s Jamal Dajani in this week’s “Mosaic Intelligence Report.” Link TV’s “Mosaic Intelligence Report”:

How about just carpet-bombing the Afgahni poppy fields with agent orange left over from our Viet “classic”. We can dump all the spent nuclear fueld and unused-and-unusable-ammo crud from prior conflicts and wipe out the opium industry ...... AS the last US troops are pulling out.
Report thisOnce the poppy fields are wasted, the Taliban and the Al Qaeda remnants can figure out how to continue fighting without the ONLY cash crop ever raised there.
As an alternative, maybe the US can offer to transport all the Medellin drug lords and their militias over to Afghanistan and Pakistan - they would K.O. Al Qaeda and the Taliban in short order to take over the opium industry. Maybe the US could even get a discount on opium imports.

WHAT’S OUR OPIUM DOING IN THEIR COUNTRY?
THE CIA AT WORK. AGAIN.
The Golden Triangle? Iran-Contra? Gary Webb? Hello? Anybody home?
If he’s a major drug dealer he has links with the CIA. Period.

DRUGS, 911 and SIBEL EDMONDS
SIBEL EDMONDS
Wall Street _is_ laundering up to $500B a year (B as in Billion) in drug profits and using it as capital on a twenty to fifty times multiplier.
In the following interview Peter Dale Scott refers to Sibel Edmonds’s interview with Philip Giraldi in the American Conservative revealing high level US corruption—in Congress and Senate—covering up the importation of drugs to the US, that is just now coming into widespread public view. In an interview on 100509 with Global Research News Hour. Starts @ 42.50.
‘I DON’T WANT TO ATTACK OBAMA’
@ 45.30. Iran-Contra - The most courageous, and there weren’t very many; those who stood up, were targeted and weren’t re-elected. (Including Senator Church). Government funds used to defeat those attacking Oliver North’s crowd and the secret government inside the government.
“So you’re not going to get a very courageous opposition. I don’t want to attack Obama because he’s tried to do some things, but obviously he’s moved cautiously and he’s backtracked on quite a few of the things that he said he would do. That’s because you don’t mess with the CIA. And I think everybody who survives in Washington knows how dangerous it is to do that.”
FURTHER SECRETS - ‘VERY HOT STUFF’
@47.15 PDS - “Not all of the cat is out of the bag, by the way. You can see the general outlines of what she was talking about and it isn’t by any means all in this American Conservative article because I’ve been tracking her very closely and communicated with her. And, eh, she is sitting on something that could, if fully disclosed, I think would not just tell us what is happening now, but would cast a great deal of light on the deep history of our country in the last fifty years.”
Stephen Lendman - “So she has some very, very hot stuff that she is sitting on.”
“The big new element is she has been backed in a lot of what she has been saying by a senior official of the FBI, in her area, at a much higher level than herself.”

Karzai used to work for the Unocal oil company and his brother is a drug lord in Afghanistan. America is hopeless at choosing its enemies and even more hopeless at choosing its friends.

Instabilty and war are the primary factors responsible for increased opium production in Afghanistan. Before the Soviet invasion, and during the brief rule of the Taliban, opium production was either very limited, or deliberated curtailed. Soon after the war is over, production is likely to plummet.

I find it hilarious that Kerry went there to challenge the election results. He can’t
even fight for his own stolen election and Gore’s (not one senator stood up, thats
all it would have taken).
Karzai is an american puppet that also serves the pashtoons (regular people), who
we are in the process of blowing up.
The other guy is wanna-be puppet with no local support except from agitators
who want to nation-build.
And before you criticize anyone for opium you might be interested to know where

Apparently Karzai hasn’t learned how to properly steal an election. He will be given a second chance!

Secretary Gates has already stated the President’s position: “the election in Afghanistan will have no bearing on the CIC’s decision on eszcalatio”. We are our own puppet!

Karzai is a US puppet. That’s why Obama is willing to look the other way.
