| Description | An extremely profitable business, which is also extremely low risk when undertaken on a large enough scale, with protection from the various law enforcement agencies. A natural for deep state groups, which can be safely assumed to control the overwhelming majority of global drug trafficking. |
Contents
Official narrative
The global drug trade is an immensely profitable business, and as such, its reporting in the commercially-controlled media is heavily influenced by deep state interests keen to protect their profits. The official narrative emphasises the role of bit players, noting that, for example, cocaine "is often brought in to the UK by drug mules; in suitcases or by swallowing bags."[1] National governments and authorities in general are routinely portrayed by the establishment as staunch opponents of the illegal drug trade, as evidenced by their pursuing a "war on drugs". The evidence pointing to close ties between drug cartels, intelligence agencies and deep state groups, is almost never mentioned in the context of drug running.
Problems
The official narrative makes no mention of the CIA's drug trafficking, of Operation 40 or of deep events such as the Susurluk incident which provide compelling evidence for the existence of a deep state, a hidden nexus of high level politicians, drug traffickers, arms dealers and intelligence agency operatives.
"I stood at the Friendship Bridge at Termez [Uzbekistan] in 2003 and watched the Jeeps with blacked-out windows bringing the heroin through from Afghanistan, en route to Europe. I watched the tankers of chemicals roaring into Afghanistan. Yet I could not persuade my country to do anything about it."
Craig Murray
The disinterest of authorities in investigating massive money laundering by large banks,[2] the scale of drug smuggling operations and the apparently inability of the authorities to prevent it would seem to support the accusations of a lot of whistleblowers:- that the resources of nation states are being marshaled, not to hinder the global drug trade, but to actively promote and carry it out.
Heroin
- Full article: Heroin
- Full article: Heroin
The majority of the world's heroin is produced from opium grown in Afghanistan. Sibel Edmonds has stated that deep state interests move most of it to Turkey for refinement before it is shipped to Europe or North America. Harvests are much greater now than before the US lead invasion.
Alfred McCoy wrote in 1972 that the SDECE financed all of its covert operations during the Indochina War from its control of the Indochina drug trade.
Cocaine
The world's cocaine is grown in the Andes in South America. Plan Colombia was officially intended to decrease cocaine production and export to the US. On its announcement, Peter Dale Scott predicted that increased involvement of the US military would have an entirely converse effect. His prediction, that the amount of cocaine produced and exported would increase, proved correct. So much evidence has accumulated that the CIA's name has become synonymous with cocaine trafficking to USA.[3]
Trafficking via Africa
Andrei Fursov stated in 2014 that "Cocaine is transferred to Sierra Leone, where it is exchanged for diamonds. With the diamonds they purchase arms. This triangle - Hezbollah, Syria, Iran - gets in the way of the Americans. They take the view, correctly, that eliminating Syria as an Arab partner of Iran, whether relations with Iran are good or bad, Iran will be weaker, and it will be easier to get an agreement with them. The removal of the Assad regime therefore became objective No.1 for the Americans. Likewise for Saudi Arabia and Israel."[4]

| Netherlands/Deep state | “The Netherlands has a long history with cocaine. In the early 1900s, the Dutch East India Company – having exploited and enslaved millions of people – began growing coca in its colonies in Indonesia. There was even a cocaine factory in Amsterdam, which supplied marching powder to all sides in World War One. When international treaties finally put a halt to the Dutch’s rampant coke dealing, Rotterdam emerged as a key import site for the illicit trade of the drug from South America.” | Vice News | 2020 |
