Nearly One Tonne Of Cocaine Seized In International Police Operation

Honestly, it isn't really much worse than Alcohol. And i'm willing to bet everyone that disagree's has never tried it. It's fine in small doses. Oxycotin is a much worse and much more addicting drug. The majority of drug addicts nowadays are caught on prescription pills, with oxy's being the number one. I have personally seen it wreck so many people's lives and while I have seen Cocaine ruin lives too, it was always those who went overboard(trying to do a quarter in one night to themselves). Most of the time getting addicted to a drug has to do with the persons personality and willpower than the drug itself. Alcohol is just as bad. I have seen more people lose their lives from alcohol than anything. Being a liquid, it is much easier to lose track how much you drink and forget just to keep on drinking back the bottle.

IMO It's incedible how long it takes to bust these pushers,, although a Ton is a lot ..

But its always availble and it never seems to end ,,.. every once in awhile they have a big bust .. and it dont even really make the national news .. it never aired up here in on my channel .. I just think ether this is really no longer a huge thing like in the past and now a ton really aint nothing these days . whats next geesh?

That is because of the ignorant stance of Washington D.C. and the D.E.A.

They want to see drugs and cash on the table to make it "sexy" as far as crime prevention.

No, you're right, a ton is not really all that much, considering much more is halted at the border.

But, again, if you're not going after the source of the problem, you're not really trying.

If it were not for the silly and petty turf wars for funding in Government this would be over.

The Underground Empire: Where Crime and Governments Embrace

Quote from : The Underground Empire - Where Crime and Governments Embrace : Excerpt [Page 3:]

The inhabitants of the earth spend more money on illegal drugs than they spend on food. More than they spend on housing, clothes, education, medical care, or any other product or service. The international narcotics industry is the largest growth industry in the world.

Its annual revenues exceed half a trillion dollars -- three times the value of all United States currency in circulation, more than the gross national products of all but a half dozen of the major industrialized nations. To imagine the immensity of such wealth consider this: A million dollars in gold would weigh as much as a large man. A half-trillion dollars would weigh more than the entire population of Washington, D.C. Narcotics industry profits, secretly stockpiled in countries competing for the business, draw interest exceeding $3 million per hour.

To what use will this money eventually be put? What will be its ultimate effect? Though everyone knows narcotics is big business, its truly staggering dimensions have never been fully publicized. The statistics on which the above statements are based appear in classified documents prepared with the participation of the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency.

These studies are circulated in numbered copies with warnings of "criminal sanctions" for unauthorized disclosure. Why is this information withheld from public view? The international narcotics industry is, in fact, not an industry at all, but an empire. Sovereign, proud, expansionist, this Underground Empire, though frequently torn by internal struggle, never fails to present a solid front to the world at large.

It has become today as ruthlessly acquisitive and exploitative as any nineteenth-century imperial kingdom, as far-reaching as the British Empire, as determinedly cohesive as the states of the American republic. Aggressive and violent by nature, the Underground Empire maintains its own armies, diplomats, intelligence services, banks, merchant fleets, and air lines. It seeks to extend its dominance by any means, from clandestine subversion to open warfare.

Legitimate nations combat its agents within their own borders, but effectively ignore its power internationally. The United States government, while launching cosmetic "wars" on drugs and crime, has rarely attacked the Empire abroad, has never substantially diminished its international power, and does not today seriously challenge its growing threat to world stability. Why is this so?

Do the world's governments not want to eliminate this expanding source of criminal wealth and power? Has there in fact never been an attempt to mount a truly effective global assault against it? Has there never existed -- does there not exist today -- some hidden, unpublicized, international force struggling against the Underground Empire?

Congress even knows about this issue and does little about it.

The one organization trying to shut down drug empires was called Centac.

Short for Central Tactical Unit it went after entire drug empires.

A territorial turf war ensued.

The F.B.I., C.I.A., and D.E.A. hamstrung an organization trying to actually shut down drug empires.

Quote from : Federation of American Scientists : A Tangled Web: A History of CIA Complicity in Drug International Trafficking : June 1975

JUNE 1975

Mexican police, assisted by U.S. drug agents, arrest Alberto Sicilia Falcon, whose Tijuana-based operation was reportedly generating $3.6 million a week from the sale of coc aine and marijuana in the United States.

The Cuban exile claims he was a CIA protege, trained as part of the agency's anti-Castro efforts, and in exchange for his help in moving weapons to certain groups in Central America, the CIA facilitated his movement of drugs.

In 1974, Sicilia's top aide, Jose Egozi, a CIA-trained intelligence officer and Bay of Pigs veteran, reportedly lined up agency support for a right-wing plot to overthrow the Portuguese government.

Among the top Mexican politicians, law enforcement and intelligence officials from whom Sicilia enjoyed support was Miguel Nazar Haro, head of the Direccion Federal de Seguridad (DFS), who the CIA admits was its `most important source in Mexico and Central America.'

When Nazar was linked to a multi-million-dollar stolen car ring several years later, the CIA intervenes to prevent his indictment in the United States.

The Central Intelligence Agency was more interested in toppling another Government.

Therefore their complicit actions only made America more vulnerable.

Which gives organizations like the D.E.A. a reason to exist.

Congress should have shut down the C.I.A. or D.E.A. upon further investigations.

i'm sure it does happen. more often than most would believe. there are witness reports of u.s. soldiers escorting mexican drug cartel shipments across the border. if people in our country help it come in, i'm sure they have no qualms of reselling seized merchandise.

most of it filters down to the street. its a long sad chain. top level dealers get it in bulk for relatively cheap and pay to have it shipped (either directly, or through mark-ups). they split it up into smaller quantities and sell it for more per unit to make a profit. the ones who buy it do the same thing, and eventually it filters down to the street corner. people on the street end up getting addicted, and if their appetite gets too big, the only way they can continue is to start dealing themselves.

most of the money is made at the higher level deals, and alot of dealers are addicted, but most is consumed at the street level.

people change on drugs. do things they never would have dreamed of doing, if not for the next spike. they need help, i pity them.

When during the last couple administrations the generational families requested getting out of the 'trade' they were not allowed and instead were forced to continue growing. Now who you see as the Drug Lords I am not sure, however the people closest to the product are slaves, anything after that is blood money.

The King Pins are a direct link to other agencies and corporate structures which cannot be mentioned.

It is not as you think if I understand you correctly. I REALLY do not like this subject as it is a huge conspiracy in itself.

reply to post by SpartanKingLeonidas


Well my opinion is one side of this great conspiracy. I have not fallen victim to whispers Chinese or other. I am also not claiming as you are to have all the answers and able to put this huge conundrum into a neat and tidy box that can easily and plainly, painlessly and ultimately, seamlessly be chalked up to how outside influences want people to see this.

You can wave your flag as high as you wish but this is not a clear cut situation which defines the bad guys from the good.

It is big big business and so secretly enmeshed that the real truths may never surface. If you were in another part of the world you may see this differently.

Great, 160kg less of hash in ciculation, i havent seen any good hash in years as it is !

And I in no way support legalization or decriminalization.

If you make a "product" illegal a market will be found for it.

And thereby you only create a larger problem with never solving the problem itself.

I am not following this logic. So you are saying you support creating larger problems?

Drug addiction should should be treated by physicians, not prison guards.

Also, not all of us wish to be violently protected from ourselves. You don't see us kicking in the doors of alcohol possessors or sticking a gun in the face of someone trying to light up a cigarette.

Opiate based pills are much more of a problem than coc aine.

Want to go after someone criminal? How about the Florida Legislature for allowing these pill mills to run down here.
