This Article Is From August But Its Worth Reading

Notice how the corporate media keeps telling the American people that the US military needs to invade certain regions of Afghanistan to stop the Taliban from growing poppy plants?… Are we to believe that the pharmaceutical industry doesn’t have a profit interest? The Taliban earns all of its revenue from poppy production. US gets over 60% of it’s heroin from Afghanistan. What better way to win WWIII than to surround your enemies completely and control their resources.

Notice how the corporate media keeps telling the American people that the US military needs to invade certain regions of Afghanistan to stop the Taliban from growing poppy plants? They are telling us that the Taliban earns all of its revenue from poppy production, but who the hell is doing business with the Taliban? Are we to believe that the pharmaceutical industry (the 2nd most powerful industry in the world) doesn’t have a profit interest in the world’s #1 opium producing country? They couldn’t be doing business with the Taliban directly, so who then? If Big Pharma isn’t funding the Taliban then how does Big Pharma get over 60% (and growing) of its opium (used in over half of its patented medicine) from Afghanistan alone? Are we to believe that anyone outside of the CIA has the ability to smuggle these large amounts of drugs into this country past the DEA and FBI? Are we to believe that is was the Hells Angels? Or that the CIA and prison industrial complex both do not have a profit interest in this huge illegal drug trade? Are we to believe that once the US occupies the opium fields that they will cut production? If the US government wants to stop the Taliban from funding their war machine by growing opium then why don’t they just drop chemical weapons on the opium fields to kill production?

The truth is that the US gets over 60% of it’s heroin from Afghanistan. The Taliban started to cut the production of opium in 1999, and by 2001 it was cut by 94% because Muslim “extremist” “hate” drugs. Actually, it could be argued that the Taliban wanted to increase their profits by creating false scarcity much like diamond corporations do by burning diamond mines. But soon after the US illegally invaded Afghanistan and placed an ex CIA agent named Hamid Karzai in as president, the country’s opium production spiked and peaked at record levels by 2006. Coincidence? When production goes up cost go down. Basic supply and demand. Some believe the cut in production was a protest to corporate exploitation in the region. It could also be said that they were trying a prohibition policy to stop their growing heroin addiction epidemic. It doesn’t matter because the fact remains that we are not in Afghanistan to find Bin Laden, we are there so corporations can make money and control the region economically.

 

The world bankers do not want the Taliban to stop production. They want to get rid of the Taliban then increase production by eventually taking control of the region for complete industrial monopolization. This policy isn’t protectionism, it’s just big business. It is true that if production was increased, the Taliban could buy more weapons which keeps the military industrial complex breathing heavy. However, when production is down the IMF, CFR, CIA, DEA, and pharmaceutical and prison industries all lose profits. The arms industry makes a profit from selling more weapons to each side but they also make much larger profits from endless occupations which fit the interest of the other industries much more than any illicit gun and drug trade. So it’s a win win for the military industrial complex but a win or lose for the other industries. That is why the MIC is the most powerful industry in the world. As long as there is war it doesn’t matter how it is fought. The gun manufactures and contractors always get their cut. For the other industries it is much more difficult than that. Wars have to be fought to fit their interest.

Once US corporate interest in the region are protected by US military occupation and all the region’s abundant in resources are monopolized; I wonder what resource the Taliban will conveniently use to fund their war machine next once they are flushed out. Lets not forget that the war on terror is not a winnable war. Chasing terrorism is like chasing a ghost. You can flush them out of one country and into the next or kill them all but soon more will be born of military occupation and economic exploits in another place in the world. The only way to stop terrorism is to stop being terrorist by invading and occupying other resource rich countries. The truth is that terrorism is not meant to be stopped. This brand of terrorism was created in 1979 (see Russian Afghan War and Zbigniew Brzezinski) to have a never ending war and an excuse to invade other countries. All one has to do is follow the trail of the said terrorist (in this instance the Taliban) and you will find abundant resources, and where the pieces are being placed on the grand chess board for strategic global positioning. Both sides of this war are funded by the same group of elites that as soon as they have control of one resource, another resource that just happens to be profitable will “fund the terrorist”.

Is it any coincidence that the worlds best military allowed the Taliban to run into the mountains of Pakistan (the second biggest opium producer in the world) when they could have surrounded them? Does it not raise any questions when Former or active Pakistani Army members and the ISI is charged with involvement in the 2008 bombings in Mumbai India? The ISI is a Pakistani secret agency that was trained and is assisted by the US CIA. So why would the Pakistan government and the CIA’s sister agency have a political strategic interest in attacking or allowing an attack on India? We all know what happened soon after the attacks, but few of us knew why. Few of us knew thanks to media censorship that an ISI agent was caught soon after the attacks. The implications forced the India military to aim its weapons and line its troops up at the borders of Pakistan. This forced the Pakistani government to spread their forces thin since now they had to protect both borders, one from the Taliban on the Afghan side and the other from the Indian threat. So why would a sister agency of the CIA or the ISI want to weaken Pakistan’s defensive against the Taliban? Could it be that by spreading Pakistan’s army thin in the porous region of the Afghan/Pakistan border the Taliban would then be given an easier path through Pakistan toward the Nukes that China has provided them? Does this threat of a nuclear armed Taliban not give the US another reason to invade another resource rich country in the name of Hitler’s favorite phrase “National Security”? Doesn’t the occupation (in the name of “national security”) of Pakistan and Afghanistan give the US a global and economic strategic position over China? Does it not secure the Committee of 300’s dream of a one world government?

Just think about the profits that will be made when corporations no longer have to pay for resources but still charge us the same for their patents. Just think about the how fast our military can strike any where in the world from the center of Asia. What better way to win WWIII than to surround your enemies completely and control their resources. This is not a joke or a conspiracy theory. This is basic global strategy. We are not being told the truth and never were. There are two reason our military is in this region and neither one rhymes with Obama.

  2. I hope that President Obama devotes more energy to convincing Congress to provide vital money to purchase the body armor our troops must have to do their jobs
