Mission Accomplished... Moments ago Obama proudly announced that America's job in Afghanistan is done. Heroin users and dealers around the world agree.

Looney indeed.

Many of the globalists openly believe in a "culling of the herd" so-to-speak.  Heroin seems to be doing a nice job in that to some extent.  The number of heroin overdoses in my neck of the woods is skyrocketing.  Maybe this is the way for the NWO to have Darwin take over with a little helping hand. 

Note: I am not in favor of mass killings.  Just making an observation.

Good thing the Heroin is flowing, the CIA has its money making business back in full force, that is why they are so heavily embedded in Afghanistan.  They are the 'other' Warlord once most of the troops pull out. Don't forget military muscle will still be there or very close nearby.  Heroin makes the CIA the cash they need to destabilize the Central Asia republics and also destroy the Russian and Chinese up and coming generations with Heroin.

Everyone knows what happened in 2001. The Taliban banned poppy cultivation. However, what is really interesting is what happened in 2009. Presumably, demand plummeted post-GFC and the price became uneconomic to grow for the smaller cultivators.

@doc @insane
The propaganda surrounding heroin is in full force on all the local news stations around the country.
That being said there likely is an increase in use and overdoses. The thing they leave off is that these are not new drug addicts, they are just people who previously got their dopiate fix off pills, which they note can't get our can't get high off anymore.

Unintended consequences indeed.

Why should big Pharma make all the money?  

After getting a good part of America hooked on Oxy they've made it far harder to get - driving people to heroin.  

Enough to make you wonder if it wasn't planned that way all along.....  Heroin was scary - a prescription drug seemed much 'safer' - getting lots of people addicted.  But now that you can't get Oxy as easily, heroin is the alternative

Here is what the Afghan President had to say this week about China bringing stability in Afghanistan. He talks about the Western media promoting differences on tribal rivalry. He mentioned that elections were held without a single bullet being fired and that foreigners (read USA) should stay out of Afghan traditions. He also mentioned that he would replicate the China growth model in Afghanistan instead of any other due to the education expansion, infra building, poverty reduction, employment creation etc that was achieved in a very short span of 30-40 years, which is exactly what Afghanistan needs but what makes all others jealous of the Chinese model .

And the interview is on Chinese TV!

I have a real problem with this statement.

A sucessful war is never concluded, it is won. Just because we "conclude" doesn't mean the war is over. We just have new words added to our vocabulary, like "the kiling fields".

As a country we haven't won a war in a very long time, even in WW2, we stopped and let the Russians take Berlin.

Yup.The graveyard of empires.I always thought it rather poignant the way they let one guy get through alive to tell about the disaster (15,000 troops destroyed,women and children enslaved).This is after they were promised safe conduct out of Kabul.

The point of the matter is that Pakistan feels strongly that Afghanistan is an extra province of their country.They will never change their thinking on this.Masood,the Northern Alliance leader killed by a fake Arabic TV crew,was trying to warn the West not to trust the Pakistani Intelligence guys (ISI).He was killed three days before 9/11 occurred.

A bit off topic but seeing as how "outing" a CIA agent is illegal,will the White House staffer who accidentally released the name of the CIA chief in Kabul,blowing his cover,be prosecuted or is this just one of things that happen (Karl Rove,Valerie Plame,etc.) from time to time?

They did not 'let him live' - he would have had his skull shorn off were it not for a magazine stuffed into his hat:

Wiki:

On 13 January, a British officer from the 16,000 strong column rode into Jalalabad on a wounded horse (a few sepoys, who had hidden in the mountains, followed in the coming weeks). The sole survivor of the 12-man cavalry group, assistant Surgeon William Brydon, was asked upon arrival what happened to the army, to which he answered "I am the army". Although part of his skull had been sheared off by a sword, he ultimately survived because he had insulated his hat with a magazine which deflected the blow. Brydon later published a memoir of the death march. The pony he rode was said to have lain down in a stable and never got up.

Why is it that the CIA always ends up in border areas where drug smuggling is rife?

Turkey-Kurds have been smugglers for centuries.

Laos-Hill people growing Opium,and providing Intel on North Vietnamese usage of Ho Chi Minh trail network.

Nicaragua-CIA aircraft flying weapons and supplies to Central America and for return flight smuggling cocaine into USA through Homestead AFB,South Florida and others.

Afghanistan-situation still unresolved but US planned exit in near future is looking not especially positive.Meanwhile US cities begin to look like battlegrounds and deployment of drones is increasing.

It could be processed directly in Afghanistan creating thousands of  legal jobs !!

I have first hand experience with this.

I am a paramedic in St. Louis, Heroin use has indeed skyrocketed as we are all aware.  I asked a high school kid what was easier to get--marijuana or Heroin.  He said heroin by far, easiest thing to get.  I hope that those responsible for importing this into our country know that the blood of thousands of good American kids is directly on their hands.  Many OD's are first time users that don't know how much to take.  It is the middle and upper class kids dying from this stuff.  Everyone wants to dismiss a heroin overdose as some piece of shit drag on side doper that deserved what they got.  More often than not, just a naive teenager that made a single bad decision.

Poppy Bush and his idiot son Dubya, and of course his dark son, Barry, should be so proud.

Most people don't realize that in the 1800s and even into the mid-20th century there were opium poppies growing in tens of thousands of home flower gardens, largely in the Midwest and Western US. I mean Papaver somniferum - the Opium poppy, not ornamentals. Even today you can go into older neighborhoods in small towns in the Midwest in July/August and if you look around you can find Opium poppies growing wild (mostly). A few are being lovingly tended by old ladies who would tell you they had no idea and are shocked - shocked - that anyone would think that they would grow Opium, although the juice does make a very pleasant tea.

I've been writing for some time on the subject of the imperative to legalize the personal growing of both Opium and Coca in the US and Europe. Anyone who is interested can find links to these writings on my blog http://panaceachronicles.com

"Mission Accomplished... Moments ago Obama proudly announced that America's job in Afghanistan is done."

Wow! I wonder what the name of the kid they killed is that pushed them over the top?!

 

"President Bush, this is president Obama. One question; Where did you store that banner? You know, the one from the aircraft carrier? Says, "Mission Accomplished." Oh, Cheney took it. Got his number?"

Here's a crazy idea - legalize it and control it.

Hey BB - legalize it and don't control it. Just back off. Stay out of our fucking lives. Go away. Buzz off. Eat shit and die.

That's my suggestion.

And yet another occupying world power has its ass handed to it by some sand niggers, and in Russia they are exclaiming, "Told you so, told you so."

Two things that make a circle around Opium:

1. Until recently there has been no battlefield trauma painkiller replacement for morphine.If there was a commonly available plant it would've been noticed by now.

I have read somewhere of a sea-urchin (Anenome?) off the coast of Australia which produces a narcotic 300X more powerful than morphine but it has not been synthesized so far as I know.

2.Opium has been a commodity of exchange since antiquity.It has value and can be traded.Therefore it follows that Opium has been surrounded by violence.The traders in Opium usually have very up-to-date weaponry.They tend to be well heeled,able to afford private armies for security,etc. There are reports that at the end of the Chinese Civil War,an entire army instead of surrendering,moved over the border into the Shan rebel states and started (continued?) harvesting Opium.

One easy fix would be to scrap the current exemptions that the Intelligence mafia have regarding customs inspections for their aircraft.On a discovery of contraband,the aircrew gets a very long prison term,the aircraft confiscated and sold at auction,proceeds to a rehab clinic foundation. Often I think these are NGO's flying food and medicine to these border areas around the planet.

The Pakistanis have been such ungrateful assholes over the years considering how much aid we have given them (to park in a Swiss bank account?) and the rent-a-mob burning and destruction of the new USA embassy in Islamabad,etc.

Why not flood their country with cheap heroin and let them have the problems?

Many Americans have recently tried to block Afghanistan out of their thoughts, going forward little exist to be excited or optimist about. As with Vietnam it seems that we may have to settle with claims of "peace with honor" as we rush for the exit.

This reminds me of the experience the French had in Algeria. After years of effort the French did not achieve victory, they only proved how difficult and expensive some of these missions can become. The announcement by President Obama that American troops would be departing leaves many people wondering about the void we will be leaving  and how it will be filled. The article below delves into just how bleak thing look going forward.
