Junious Ricardo Stanton In GOD (Gold, Oil, Drugs) They Trust "As it was in Vietnam, Central America and Kosovo, drugs continue to be a huge part of the financial plan for prolonged ground wars. As one cynic put it, "GOD" stands for "Gold, Oil and Drugs". We can be assured that an empire (as opposed to a republic) is emerging in the United States more quickly than many have expected. And the Bush Administration is already acting in a "godlike" manner. It is an empire that may have little need of even the pretense of democracy as American corporate fascism removes its mask in the wake of our election circus, the prostitution of our Supreme Court and the virtual destruction of American government as a servant of anything other than money, greed and power."- Michael C. Ruppert www.Nexusmagazine.com Vol. 8 Number 2 "War and 'American Intelligence' have been amongst the biggest contributors to the tidal wave of drugs which is engulfing our societies. Back during World War II, the pattern was set when the US Office of Naval Intelligence collaborated with the mobster and narcotics kingpin "Lucky" Luciano. Roosevelt's government collaborated with the Mafia as enthusiastically as Mussolini had opposed it. The long-term results of reviving the Mafia to aid the Allied war effort were deadly. Between 1946 and 1952, the number of heroin addicts in the US tripled, thereafter doubling every five years or so. Nor were any lessons learned from this trail of despair. As is now admitted by almost everyone except a few official mouthpieces, the CIA worked in close partnership with the opium warlords in the "Golden Triangle": of East Asia. The funds raised from drugs were unaccountable, and were useful for financing CIA covert operations in Vietnam. A decade later, and the CIA played the same trick again, this time with the Afghan guerrillas fighting the Russians"- from Drugged Into Submission by Ian Buckley One of the by-products and outgrowths of post WWII US imperialism under the guise of anti-communism has been the involvement in drug trafficking in an unholy alliance amongst contract operatives, the CIA, the US government, corrupt foreign governments, some multi-national corporations and "organized crime". Some of you are familiar with Gary Webb's groundbreaking series in the San Diego Mercury called Dark Alliance in which Webb researched cocaine smuggling in exchange for guns and money to fund the secret Reagan-Bush Iran-CONTRA deal. According to Webb much of the cocaine that later found its way into AmeriKKKan inner cities in the form of a new and lethally addictive derivative of cocaine called crack was shipped into the US by CIA operatives under sanction and cover of the agency. This is a continuation of a pattern that goes back following WWII. The US government contrary to public policy pronouncements has been heavily involved in the smuggling of illegal drugs. This smuggling came to a crescendo during the Vietnam War. The US CIA was active in Southeast Asia ostensibly to stem the tide of communism. In addition to Vietnam, the US was also active in Laos, Cambodia and Thailand. The point where Myanmar (Burma) Laos and Thailand converge at the Sop Rual tributary to the Mekong River is called the Golden Triangle because this is where some of the world's best opium was grown, having supplanted China as an opium haven.(Actually opium was originally grown in antiquity in the Mediterranean region and transplanted to China in modern times by the British via their colony India) CIA assets started exporting opium using CIA conduits in their cover air transport front companies. Opium and heroin were so heavy in the area that by 1971 over 34% of US soldiers in South Vietnam were heroin addicts! Opium exports increased dramatically and heroin became more available in the US. As fate would have it by the time the Russians invaded Afghanistan, opium was being cultivated big time in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. As the US CIA moved in to arm the resistance movement (which gave rise to Osama bin-Laden) they took side action supporting opium growers to fund their covert operations just like they were doing with cocaine and the Contras in Nicaragua. Guess who was CIA Director and Vice President when this was going down? If you answered George H.W. Bush you win. The irony of all of this is George W. Bush's father was prominently on the set when people like Manuel Noriega, Saddam Hussein, Osama bin-Laden and a host of other equally vicious dictators, radicals and warlords were cultivated as CIA assets. Domestically our communities have been ravaged by crack cocaine through addiction, arrest and incarceration but rogue operatives within the CIA, multi-national corporations, front banks, dummy corporations, corrupt foreign dictators, US government agencies, politicians and the organized crime hydra have gotten rich and had a field day destabilizing the African-American community. Quiet as its kept, the ruling elites still view us, and rightly so, as the moral opposition, a fifth column, to their evil and wickedness. Reagan-Bush's policies were a devastating follow up to what Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon started via COINTELPRO and Operation CHAOS. The foreign drug cartels in cahoots with corrupt politicians who are propped up and protected by the US (except when they outlive their usefulness like Noriega and now Hussein) help keep GOD in the forefront. GOD in this case being Gold, Oil and Drugs. The real issues in Afghanistan are oil, natural gas, the trans-Afghani pipeline, opium and strategic geo-political positioning. In Iraq it is oil and geo-political control of the region which translates into gold for those who control the oil and natural gas reserves and the drug smuggling in Middle East and Central Asian regions. In Columbia it is oil, oil pipelines and drugs, in Venezuela it is oil, in Angola it is oil (Angola is the 7th largest US oil exporter) and diamonds, in Zimbabwe its coal, gold, lithium and chromium, etc, etc. You get the picture. Over the years the US media- PR apparatus has hoodwinked the masses into believing military interventions, semi-secret covert operations and wars were about vanquishing communism, defending freedom, protecting "our national interests" or waging war on drugs and terrorism. That is propaganda for the suckers and pawns. It's really about the loot, the land and resources (gold oil and drugs). In GOD they trust. The Mulindwas
