CIA Runs The World's Largest Drug And Narcotic Trade And Trafficking: PART 2

 Instead of trying to invade Venezuella on the pretext of going after the Drug Cartels there the United States should first cleanse itself of the evil drug cartels in U.S. operated by the drug barons in Wall Street, Washington, Los Angeles, Texas and The Pentagon.

PART     TWO      CIA  Runs The World's Largest Drug And Narcotic Trade  And Trafficking


In the Middle East and Asia CIA drug and narcotic trade and trafficking is mainly opium and heroin. In the Americas it is largely cocaine, heroin and ice.The city of Mena in the state of Arkansas in US is an important city for CIA drug trafficking activities. In the 1980s CIA trafficked in cocaine involved senior government officers of the Bill Clinton administration who covered up investigations. CIA used the Mena Inter Mountain Municipal airport as a drop point in Mena , Arkansas. It used notorious pilots and  Medellin Cartel drug smuggler Adler Berrimen Seal as its partners in operation.

In Mexico CIA collaborated with drug lords and traffickers and used its share of profits to finance the Nicaraguan Contra rebels to overthrow the leftist socialist Nicaragua's Sandinista Government. CIA sold drugs in USA mainly to African and Mexican Americans. In Honduras USA government protected Honduras drug lord lord Juan Matta Ballesteros , the owner of an airline SETCO in which Nicaraguan Contra rebels used to covertly transport military supplies and personnels in early 1980s. In Nicaragua too, CIA provided support for the Contras involving in drug trafficking . It channeled profits from drug trade to the Contra rebels.

In the 1970s to 1980s Panama was ruled by a Panama military strongman President General  Manuel Noriega. Noriega was a highly CIA paid man and collaborator in drug trafficking , money laundering and arms for drugs dealings. CIA provides flights for the contras , protection for the contras and the pilots  as well as safe havens for drug cartel officers and discreet banking facilities . US officials in the drug cartel Medellin Cartel include director William Webster and DEA officers. When Noriega arrested drug traffickers of other groups competing against CIA supported Medellin Cartel he was highly praised by Webster and DEA officers for thwarting drug trafficking. Noriega  was asked by CIA to provide military assistance to contra rebels in Nicaragua in exchange for him to continue in drug trafficking activities which he had been doing since 1960s. When the DEA ( Department Enforcement Authority of US ) tried to indict Noriega in 1971 , the CIA prevented them from doing so. The director of CIA at that time was George H. W, Bush  ( later president of  USA ). who provided Noriega with hundreds of thousands of dollars per year for his drug trafficking and cooperation in Latin America. However, when a CIA pilot Eugene Hasenfus was shot down over Nicaragua by the Sandinistas, documents aboard the plane revealed many of CIA's activities in Latin America and the CIA's connection with Noriega became a public relations liability for the USA government, which allowed the DEA to indict him for drug trafficking after decades of conniving with him in his drug operations to proceed unchecked . Also in December 1989 CIA found Noriega was secretly providing intelligence and services to the Cubans and Sandinistas , US turned against Noriega and invaded  Panama.  Noriega was captured and taken to Miami where a Miami court sentenced him to 45 years in prison. However, his collaborators , CIA officers and personnel, chiefly George H. W. Bush were not indicted . In the meantime when Panama was under US occupation CIA had a field day in trafficking drugs which increased tremendously. Also in the 1980s President Ronald Reagan tolerated CIA involvement  in drug trafficking in Central America because CIA and its drug partners were supporting the Contras to overthrow the leftist Sandinista government in Nicaragua.This is American justice and exceptionalism. Third world countries must beware, America via CIA will befriend you, make good use of you and dunk you when it no more serves their interest.

In Costa Rica and Honduras there were many CIA supported Contra networks involved in drug trafficking. CIA operative John Hull had cocaine farms in Costa Rica. When John Hull was indicted by the Costa Rica government he was secretly flown out by CIA to Miami  via Haiti with a DEA hired plane.

CIA also operated drug trafficking in Guatemala and worked closely with the drug cartels there. CIA backed transport companies provided planes to the Contras for carrying cocaine to Florida, Texas, Louisiana and other locations including several US military bases designated as "Contra Craft" in which shipments were not to be inspected. These traffickers were protected by CIA and DEA and other authorities officers.

In 1993 it was disclosed that CIA working with a Colombia drug cartel smuggled tons of cocaine into USA and sold in the streets  Hundreds of pounds of cocaine from Venezuela were also smuggled into USA under the watchful eyes of CIA.    When the cartel's smuggling ring was broken, some traffickers were arrested but the CIA officer in charge of the smuggling and his supervisor were not indicted whereas the Venezuela collaborator General Ramon Guillen was indicted together with his civillian counterpart.

CIA and US top banking giants Wachovia a subsidiary of Wells Fargo Bank are the top players in global drug trade worth hundreds of billions of dollars a year. The head of DEA in 2004 , Judge Robert Bonner accused the CIA of being drug smugglers. CIA worked hand in hand with Venezuelan National Guard to smuggle cocaine into USA. A ton of cocaine at that time was worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

China's Victory Parade - Singapore's position would be closely watched

 China's Victory Parade is now a hot political potato. It needs not be so and no one needs to be coerced or be put in a fix to attend the Parade. But mischievous and troublemakers and countries with political agenda have made this occasion a big issue. Who is coercing or twisting the arms of Singapore to make a stand? I already heard some assholes shouting, China, China.

Singapore was invaded by Japan, conquered and ruled, and called Syonan-to by the Japanese. Several hundred residents were massacred all over the island. Many suffered under the cruel Japanese rule, being bullied, slapped and kicked by the Japanese. Japanese atrocities and barbarity are still deeply etched in the minds of the older Singaporeans and refreshed in younger Singaporeans. Many Singapore then residents volunteered to fight the Japanese in China. Many worked with the British to spy and conduct espionage against the Japanese. Should Singapore conveniently forget about this part of its tragic historical past?

Singapore's attendance in the Victory Parade would be closely watched by China and Asean countries, and the Chinese diaspora. Would Singapore take the side of Japan, called Japan friend and make China its enemy by not attending or sending a junior minister there? Do not underestimate the sensitivity of the Chinese diaspora on the brutal massacres of Chinese in WW2. Singapore is a Chinese majority island state, caveat, the Anglophiles and bananas would have different take on this issue. They are on the side of the Americans and Japanese without the need to think. The only thing they may think is that their ancestors were angmohs.

Singapore is now also caught in a bind. Attend die, don't attend also die. Lawrence Wong's position is not easy to please all the conflicting parties. Chiat lat. His mother may have a piece of 'cha kia' ready to knock him on the head. Singapore can choose a principled position on this matter, or to follow the majority of the Asean states to stay safe.

Everyone is watching and there will be consequences. Would Singapore take the long term view or short term view? Would Singapore join the winning side or the losing side? Would Singapore be arm twisted by any country in making this decision?

Deluded Trump thinks he deserves the Peace Prize while committing genocide in Gaza

Trump is not God, but he certainly wants to be the Pope, the second in command. Trump wants many things, including the Nobel Peace Prize as well.

J. D. Vance is speculating that Putin has given substantial concessions in his meeting with Trump in Alaska. Are those given under agreements already signed or just made up in J. D. Vance's delusional mind. Putin knows for a fact that even signed agreements can be discarded the moment Trump leaves the meeting. Putin, like Xi and others, do not place much confidence in Trump honoring any agreement, signed or made up.

The whole Trump administration is just a gathering of delusional gasbags, with the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing. J. D. Vance can only do what he does best - wanting to wear makeup like a woman.

There are lots of new juicy news appearing on social media about Trump's family history. True or not is for people to evaluate. But, knowing Trump's character, it does not need a nuclear scientist to put two and two together, however unlikely it may appear.

Trump's self-inflicted pain and misery for USA citizens are starting to hurt

 Trump thinks he is smart to get rid of cheap migrant workers, but he is killing USA farmers, food and beverage establishments and retail outlets employing cheap workers. USA citizens are not taking over those jobs without substantial wage increases.

All of USA businesses are now suffering double whammies. Shortage of workers in most jobs that USA citizens shun and escalating costs resulting from the tariffs imposed on other countries. Retail outlets have to pass on the tariffs to consumers, otherwise it means kicking the bucket for sure.

Now the third whammy is beginning to bite with markets closing for USA products destined for China, Canada and EU. Even tourism into the USA is now suffering the indirect consequence of those tariffs, with tourists avoiding the USA and putting its hotels and food and beverage businesses under stress. With tourism affecting jobs, how many will be affected is yet unknown. But it certainly will not be minor, with tourism logistics catering to the sector will all be seriously affected - hotels, food and beverage outlets, shopping malls and gate receipts to places like entertainment spots and Disneyland for example.

All these are self-inflicted pain and misery for USA citizens, who are already aware of how 'peasants' are enjoying their life of plenty in China. Ironic!

India is just like the archery target for USA leaders...a laundry mat

India thinks it is smart trying to play both sides. Now both sides are squeezing India like a soiled sponge, hardly able to return to its original shape. Never mess with China as it has long memories, the same mindset as its resorting to playing long games.

India is just like the archery target for USA leaders now, all jumping into the fray to see who can come up with the best demonization move to upset the Indians. Scott Bessent has taken his pot shot, with Peter Navaro following fast, calling India the laundry mat of Russia. Funny that Navaro has forgotten to demonize so many other countries that are now the laundry mat of the USA, such as Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Taiwan and the EU. These laundry mats are even willing to sacrifice themselves for the interest of the USA. At least India is not sacrificing itself for Russia, rather only making hay while the sun shines, buying its cheap oil to make money from USA laundry mats, which is what Navaro is obviously unhappy about. India is a competitor for energy exports to the EU, more so by selling cheap Russian oil under the table and making huge profits, which is a slap on the face of the USA.

If India is still negotiating with the USA, one thing certain is that the 50% tariff will be reduced somewhat, all a ploy employed by Trump in his 'Art of the Deal' to bring India back on track hopefully. This is where the danger lies for Russia and China. Never trust a snake, especially with a bigger snake behind pulling the strings.
