I am reading this newly released explosive book titled The Fort Bragg Drug Cartel by Seth Harp. I have to say it was very hard to find. I had to drive over 90 miles to another city where a small town bookstore had just one copy. It was quite revealing that Houston, being a large city with countless bookstores, did not have a single copy for me to buy. Also, Amazon has been delivering fake copies of it. I am not surprised by any of this because this is no accident.
Anyway, the book has many mindboggling stories about how, for decades, the Americans were told to believe that the poppy cultivation and heroine production in Afghanistan was the work of the Taliban and that Americans were there to fight against it in order to choke this revenue stream of the Taliban. The truth, however, is the opposite of this. When the Taliban came into power in mid 90s, they burnt up almost all of the poppy fields because they argued that their religion (Islam) did not allow it. Once the Americans returned to Afghanistan after 9/11, so did the heroine production. A higher quality heroine, what is called China White, became the major drug for the Europeans and the Americans, thanks to the massive production that happened in Afghanistan with the blessing of the American forces. In fact, the notorious Northern Alliance of the yesteryear, with whom the CIA had a strong friendship, were some of the worst drug pushers of Afghanistan.
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in the United States only counted the drugs captured through the border with Mexico in their assessment of the origin of the drugs, so as to blame Mexico. And the China White captured from the streets was labeled as unknown origin drugs. The drugs from Afghanistan, which made up the huge majority of the drugs on the American streets, were coming into the United States from Afghanistan via US military planes. The DEA was not accounting for the drugs that entered through the airports. This too was by design according to Seth Harp.
Every time I visit Pakistan, I realise instantly that the only Islamic thing in the country is the word in its name – the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. America claims to be a secular state where church and state are kept separate. However, a little looking around would bring anyone to an unmistakable conclusion that there is nothing secular in this country. In fact, Texas has started sticking large posters of The Ten Commandments inside classroom walls of public schools. Non-Christian children in schools would be exposed to it just like non-Muslim children in Pakistan are exposed to Islamic studies even if they don’t want to study. But Pakistan claims to be a country with an official state religion and America doesn’t have such a claim. The practice never reflects what is written.
Going back to the same book above, the drugs were flown into America by none other than the elite soldiers of the US army. In the book, there is also an incident where a member of the elite special forces rapes a girl and the military court doesn’t punish him, rather punishes the girl. When I was reading that I couldn’t help but remember how the American people were told that the US army was helping the Afghan girls gain freedom, rights and the ability to go to school. Most disturbingly, we were told that the American soldiers prevented Afghan girls from getting raped by Afghan men. These elite soldiers who snorted, smoked and drank every drug there is and who raped young blonde girls were sent to save Afghan girls and help them go to school?
American citizens are required not to fight alongside foreign armies, let alone enlist in it. Lo and behold, many Americans are enlisted soldiers in the Israeli army. Corruption only changes methods when it crosses borders. It never dies.
