Drug Smuggling
The topic of drug smuggling is often represented by the commercially-controlled media as a matter of small groups of individuals. This obscures the degree to which the deep state - and the CIA in particular is responsible for drug trafficking. Very little attention is given to stories such as Cocaine 1 and Cocaine 2 or Western Global Airlines N545JN which reveal the extent to which the establishment is complicit in drug smuggling.
The DEA cited the 2006 Mexico DC-9 drug bust as an example of their campaign to intercept smuggling by sea.[1]
People Trafficking
Cash Smuggling
Cash is smuggled internationally as a part of money laundering efforts, which may be on a large scale. In 2016, Western Global Airlines N545JN flew 67 tonnes of newly printed banknotes from Germany to South Africa. A spokesman for the South African Reserve Bank explained the delivery was “a consignment of South African banknotes that was produced overseas as part of the SARB's annual production plan.”[2]
