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. 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

Gary Webb's Dark Alliance provided very detailed evidence that the CIA was complicit in importing illegal drugs to the USA, as did corroborating evidence by Mike Ruppert. Their charges were never answered by authorities such as the DEA who are officially tasked with investigating them.

The official narrative makes no mention 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 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.

Opium

Opium production in Afghanistan.gif

The majority of the world's opium is produced 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.

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 News2020
