Illegal drug trafficking has been a huge source of funds for the CIA/Black budget over the years. Joël van der Reijden names this area as one of the most important covered up conspiracies of all time.

Official narrative

Wikipedia's page is entitled "Allegations of CIA drug trafficking", as if there was any doubt as to the matter.

Origins

The CIA may have been carrying out drug trafficking on a large scale even before the Vietnam War^{[Where?][When?]}. In any case, it seems to have been well established in Vietnam.

Exposure

Gary Webb did more to expose CIA Drug trafficking than anyone else, writing the exhaustive Dark Alliance, which presented a very detailed case and named names of those involved. On November 15, 1996, Mike Ruppert dramatically confronted CIA Director John Deutch and testified that he has personally witnessed CIA complicity in drug trafficking. After a moment of confusion, Deutch asked for Ruppert to submit evidence, and that he would follow up - which never happened.

Iran-Contra

Full article: “Iran-Contra”

The events misleadingly dubbed "Iran-Contra" by the corporate media featured large scale drug trafficking centered on a remote airport in Mena, Arkansas. This was orchestrated by a team of deep state actors as Barry Seal, Felix Rodriguez, quite probably on the initiative of George H. W. Bush. Ex-CIA Terry Reed admitted to involvement in training contra pilots, but states that he originally knew nothing of the drug angle until he found tonnes of cocaine moving through his warehouse.

Michael Levine, a 25-year veteran of the Drug Enforcement Administration, stated that:

"I have put thousands of Americans away for tens of thousands of years for less evidence for conspiracy with less evidence than is available against Ollie North and CIA people... I personally was involved in a deep-cover case that went to the top of the drug world in three countries. The CIA killed it."
CNBC-TV, October 8, 1996

Pilot whistleblowers

Bo Abbott and Tosh Plumlee have admitted to flying drugs for the CIA by the planeload into USA. Others such as Celerino Castillo and Terry Reed have provided detailed and sworn corroborating testimony. A 1996 affidavit by Chip Tatum claims the same thing and names William Barr, Buddy Young, Felix Rodriguez, Oliver North, Joe Fernandez, Manuel Noriega and Mike Harari. He further claimed that George H. W. Bush, Oliver North and Bill Clinton were in the loop via satellite phone.

Mega busts

Various CIA linked planes have been involved in shipping cocaine into US by the ton, most notably the 2006 Mexico DC-9 drug bust ('Cocaine 1') and the crash in 2007 ('Cocaine 2'). (Former) CIA ownerships of the planes is certainly telling, but even more clear has been the failure to prosecute, investigate or even report basic details of these events, suggesting that their owners have the de facto ability to control the commercially-controlled media. The most recent of these deep events was Western Global Airlines N545JN, flying cash to South Africa.

Drug routes

Many witnesses have stated that the hub of CIA cocaine delivery in USA used to be Mena, Arkansas. This may well have changed after this fact became well known and Barry Seal was assassinated. The USA's invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 saw a huge rise in the cultivation of opium. Sibel Edmonds states that most of this is shipped in military planes via Turkey.

Rudi Dekkers	“Indications of the FBI’s “guilty knowledge” were widespread in the aftermath of the attack, including the widely-reported fact that the FBI was at Huffman Aviation with search warrants at 2.30 a.m. the night after the attack. Now we have uncovered evidence indicating that the FBI was on the scene even earlier… “How do you think the FBI got here (Huffman Aviation) so fast after the attack?” asked one Huffman Aviation insider. “They knew what was going on here. Hell, they were parked in a white van outside my house less than four hours after the buildings collapsed.” “We heard that 16 of the 19 terrorists had been on Interpol’s Most Wanted list,” this aviation executive continued. “But early on I gleaned that these guys had Government protection. They were let into this country for a specific purpose. It was a business deal.” A “Green Light” from the DEA The new information adds to long-standing suspicions of drug trafficking held by aviation observers at the Venice Airport, who more than six months ago told us the Hilliard/Dekkers operation had a ‘green light’ from the DEA at the Venice Airport. “The local Venice Police Department (which mounted round-the-clock patrols at the Airport after Sept.11) were warned to leave them alone,” said one aviation executive at the time. Further evidence of sinister currents swirling around the Venice Airport includes testimony from eyewitnesses indicating that Rudi Dekkers was in trouble with the DEA while still located at the Naples Airport in the mid-1990’s. The notion of a Federal “hands-off” policy towards the Venice operation also helps explain a suspicious circumstance which has provoked much speculation in the local aviation community… How did ‘ Magic Dutch Boy’ Rudi Dekkers, whose various businesses have all been utter and abject failures, manage to live in a $2.5 million mansion in a private gated community?”	Daniel Hopsicker Rudi Dekkers
Rudi Dekkers	“A few months ago Rudi wanted to visit, drink some beers. But he never showed up. He said over the phone 'I've never been so poor in my life'. I saw him making beautiful trips to South America and Middle America. In light of recent developments, maybe you need to place questions at that.”	Rudi Dekkers Arne Kruithof	2012
Federal Aviation Administration	“the FAA system for registering airplanes is little-changed from when it was started back in the good ol boy days of the 1930's. Each plane has a paper folder, for example, stuffed with all correspondence regarding airworthiness and ownership relating to that plane. Its an antiquated system which some feel is kept deliberately in place to encourage a certain ambiguity when a plane is interdicted. When a change of registration is mailed in, the FAA places a plane's folder in what they call "suspense". That's a tremendous inducement to anyone with a chance of having a plane nabbed to keep floating sales in progress. The CIA, for example, is very adept at keeping files on its planes "in suspense".”	Daniel Hopsicker	2009
Federal Aviation Administration	“FAA requirements in the air charter business are so minimal, one aviation executive told us, that all you need to go into business is a cell phone and a pair of sunglasses. The lack of oversight may be intentional. A surprising number of politically-powerful and well-connected Americans have been tainted through their ownership of planes caught ferrying large (in some cases multi-ton) loads of cocaine into the U. S.”		2009
Journalist	“This story of CIA drug dealing became a sensation because of the website, not because of the story, but because people could get to it. And they could never have gotten to it before because the San Jose Mercury News is a small regional newspaper in Northern California that you couldn't read if you lived in New York or you couldn't read if you lived in L.A.. But this story you could read anywhere in the world.”	Gary Webb	2003
Jesse Katz	“The crack epidemic in Los Angeles followed no blueprint or master plan. It was not orchestrated by the Contras or the CIA or any single drug ring. No one trafficker, even the kingpins who sold thousands of kilos and pocketed millions of dollars, ever came close to monopolizing the trade... How the crack epidemic reached that extreme, on some level, had nothing to do with Ross... [who was one of many] interchangeable characters... dwarfed by [other dealers].”	Jesse Katz	20 October 1996
Michael Levine	“I have put thousands of Americans away for tens of thousands of years for less evidence for conspiracy with less evidence than is available against Ollie North and CIA people... I personally was involved in a deep-cover case that went to the top of the drug world in three countries. The CIA killed it.”	Michael Levine	8 October 1996
Oliver North	“Wanted aircraft to go to Bolivia to pick up paste. Want aircraft to pick up 1,500 kilos.”	Oliver North	9 July 1984
Oliver North	“Honduran DC-6 which is being used for runs out of New Orleans is probably being used for drug runs into U.S.”	Oliver North	9 August 1984
Oliver North	“$14M [million] to finance came from drugs.”	Oliver North	12 July 1985
Mort Sahl	“Garrison was the man and he's quite correct. These people, they don't say anything, they just sit there. They don't challenge any of the reports or any of the conclusions [about the JFK assassination]. They left me out there. For me to go on the air and say that the CIA is the #1 dope dealer and adventurers within the CIA will bank the money from the [drug] imports from South East Asia and not to get a letter to challenge it or ask for documentation. Not to hear from anyone. And to know that that went out over 211 television stations to an audience of between 9 and 14 million. The silence is deafening. How can that be? How can you get no reaction? Where are we? What the hell is this, 1984?”	Mort Sahl	1970

30 November 2018 Robin  A solid introduction to this major activity of the US Deep state.
Not particularly well structured, but this page contains links to a lot of hard evidence that the CIA has owned the cocaine import business into the US for decades, and also profits from a lot of the rest of the world's drug illegal trading.
