Government creates drug demand, then serves 'customers'
By Donald Hank
Reports seem to show that:
First the CIA helped usher in the drug culture, thanks to MKUltra.

Then with these CIA-made customers, the agency went into business and became the world's largest drug cartel, on your dime. http://www.globalresearch.ca/america-s-war-on-drugs-cia-recruited-mercenaries-and-drug-traffickers/22777
After all, who was to stop them? You aren't supposed to know what they're up to. Nurenberg Trials be damned.
Whether this sequence of events from demand creation to providing supply was preplanned is not known. But it did happen this way.
The New American reports:
http://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/north-america/item/10658-reports-cia-working-with-mexican-drug-cartels
"According to the article, which also cites former CIA officials and even ex-Drug Enforcement Administration boss Phil Jordan, Los Zetas has already prepared to disrupt and possibly even subvert Mexico's 2012 national election. Ironically, many leaders of the criminal empire supposedly threatening the existence of the Mexican government were actually trained in the U.S. at the infamous military training center known as School of the Americas."
This fits with what we know about Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega (http://www.unsolvedrealm.com/2011/06/12/true-conspiracy-cias-history-of-drug-trafficking/), who also was trained at the School of the Americas, in Panama, and enlisted as a CIA agent. Once installed as president, Noriega was given tacit permission to sell drugs in exchange for his cooperation with the Nicaraguan Contras. (Also see the video The Panama Deception, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1Txky2IH60 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPbUnpqz5OI).
Russia has also complained about the CIA's protection of Afghan drug production:
http://www.globalresearch.ca/russia-lashes-out-at-nato-for-protecting-afghan-drug-production/17841
The US refusal to destroy opium poppy crops in Afghanistan guarantees that raw drug sources there will be inviolable, leading to heavy drug use in Russia, the head of the Russian federal drug control agency said.
The amount of narcotics brought into Russia has increased two-fold since the beginning of the anti-terrorism operation in Afghanistan, Viktor Ivanov, Russian Federal Drug Control Service chief, said on Saturday.

Now let me clarify my position. I do realize that the 'War on Drugs' is 100% phony. But unlike the libertarians, I do not advocate legalizing drugs simply because supposedly 'banning drugs won't help' any more than banning alcohol helped during Prohibition. Heroine is not alcohol and kids who take it once often becomes slaves to it for life. The CIA Cartel likes this. It's good for business. It also keeps the DEA in business.
What I do advocate is dismantling these centralized 'anti-drug' agencies because they are corrupt and doing more harm than good. After all, they have always operated on the premise that supporting the lesser of two evils is beneficial. This policy, antithetical to Biblical teachings on which our nation is founded, never works that way in real life and has never worked for the US government.
The libertarians' urging to legalize drugs is similar to the East Indies Trading Company's policy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_India_Company) of selling drugs to China. When China banned opium imports, the powerful company simply prevailed upon the British government to declare war on China and force it to accept 'free' trade. Not much different from today's 'free' trade policies foisted upon an unwilling Western public by Western Oligarchs.
Either way, the People are not involved in the policies, which are in effect forced upon them, to the detriment of their children and hapless Americans who are sold the idea that drugs are a right, not a dangerous substance that can kill them and enslave their minds.
If you like action movies, "Two Guns," with Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1272878/), plausibly illustrates how collusion between US agencies and the Mexican cartels might be working in the real world.

Allegations of collusion with Mexican federal government forces[edit]
In May 2009, the U.S. National Public Radio (NPR) aired multiple reports alleging that the Mexican federal police and military were working in collusion with the Sinaloa Cartel. In particular, the report claimed the government was helping the Sinaloa Cartel to take control of the Juarez Valley area and destroy other cartels, especially the Juarez Cartel. NPR's reporters interviewed dozens of officials and ordinary people for the journalistic investigation. One report quotes a former Juarez police commander who claimed the entire department was working for the Sinaloa Cartel and helping it to fight other groups. He also claimed that the Sinaloa Cartel had bribed the military. Also quoted was a Mexican reporter who claimed hearing numerous times from the public that the military had been involved in murders.[citation needed] Another source in the story was the U.S. trial of Manuel Fierro-Mendez, an ex-Juarez police captain who admitted to working for the Sinaloa Cartel. He claimed that the Sinaloa Cartel influenced the Mexican government and military in order to gain control of the region. A U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent in the same trial alleged that Fierro-Mendez had contacts with a Mexican military officer. The report also alleged, with support from an anthropologist who studies drug trafficking, that data on the low arrest rate of Sinaloa Cartel members (compared to other groups) was evidence of favoritism on the part of the authorities. A Mexican official denied the allegation of favoritism, and a DEA agent and a political scientist also had alternate explanations for the arrest data.[48] Another report detailed numerous indications of corruption and influence that the cartel has within the Mexican government.[49]
