The Laroucheists, and their spin-off Webster Tarpley, have a very long history of mixing blatant disinfo with hard-core genuine info, in order to deflect in advance the expected attacks on them as anti-American and/or anti-Jewish. Thus for instance in the original “Dope, Inc” revelations, the Laroucheists claimed that the then-still-extant Soviet Union was responsible for Ali Agca’s attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II in 1979, and had arranged with the British and their US pawns to conquer the whole of western Europe. This is all nonsense and shows how far they went to avoid being accused of bad things, not that it made up for their exposure of the ADL as a gangster front, or kept Larouche out of prison. It’s remarkable therefore that the newer editions of “Dope, Inc” explicitly and continuously hold Soros responsible for virtually the entire global drugs industry, though they describe him as a Nazi collaborator rather than as what he actually is.

Taliban Patsy Sentenced to Life for Dealing CIA Heroin
Kurt Nimmo, Infowars, Jun 12 2012
Fall guy Haji Bagcho was sentenced to life in prison today for trafficking heroin in Afghanistan. US officialdom characterized Bagcho as “one of the largest heroin traffickers in the world and who used proceeds of his drug sales to support the Taliban insurgency,” according to the WaPo. Bagcho’s heroin business, however, paled in comparison to the one set-up by the CIA in Afghanistan and he was likely thrown in the slammer for life because the agency does not like competition. The Taliban, itself a creation of the CIA, had banned the production of opium following the Afghan civil war after the Soviets were defeated. “The success of Afghanistan’s 2000 drug eradication program under the Taliban government was recognized by the UN” as admirable and that “no other country was able to implement a comparable program.” In Oct 2001, the UN acknowledged that the Taliban reduced opium production in Afghanistan from 3300 tons in 2000 to 185 tons in 2001 (see Afghan heroin & the CIA). Following the US invasion, Afghanistan became the #1 heroin producer, producing 3,750 tons in 2002. By 2006, that number skyrocketed to 6,100 metric tons. William Blum noted in The Real Drug Lords:
CIA-supported Mujahedeen rebels [who in 2001 were part of the Northern Alliance] engaged heavily in drug trafficking while fighting against the Soviet-supported government.
Michel Chossudovsky wrote in 2007:
The Golden Crescent drug trade, launched by the CIA in the early 1980s, continues to be protected by US intelligence, in liaison with NATO occupation forces and the British military. In recent developments, British occupation forces have promoted opium cultivation through paid radio advertisements.
US troops were specifically ordered to ignore heroin and opium when they discovered it on patrol, an ex-Green Beret told author James Risen in 2003. Asst Sec State Bobby Charles complained:
Rumsfeld didn’t want drugs to become a core mission.
In 2010, we reported on a Fox News segment where Gerald Rivera talked with an occupation soldier about US support of the opium trade in Afghanistan. The soldier told Rivera he did not like supporting Afghan opium production, but insisted the US had turned a blind eye to the cultivation and he cited the excuse of cultural sensitivity.
Prior to the Taliban’s business faux pas, the CIA worked with Pakistan’s ISI to turn heroin profits into lucre for covert activities. Moreover, if not for the trafficking of heroin, Pakistan’s legitimate economy would have collapsed, the Financial Times wrote in Aug 2001. Much of the money was deposited in the BCCI, the preferred bank of intelligence agencies looking to launder money, hide drug profits, and engage in other financial crimes. But it was not just Pakistan that would have collapsed. Vienna-based UNODC Executive Director Antonio Maria Costa said in 2009:
In many instances, drug money is currently the only liquid investment capital. In the second half of 2008, liquidity was the banking system’s main problem and hence liquid capital became an important factor.
Former Managing Director and board member of Wall Street investment bank Dillon Read, Catherine Austin Fitts, has long alleged that the banksters launder imponderable amounts of drug money. She writes:
According to the Dept of Justice, the US launders between $500b to $1,000b annually. I have little idea what percentage of that is narco dollars, but it is probably safe to assume that at least $100b to $200b relates to US drug import-exports and retail trade.
