I think most people that have looked at the subject recognize that the CIA had become involved in the drug trade by at least the Vietnam Era with shipping heroin from South East Asia (Air America, anyone?). I've read that this was in cooperation with Meyer Lansky's growing international drug networks. But in any even, it should not be all that surprising that Media Matters is reporting that "Jesse Watters says CIA rigged the 2020 election because Trump threatened its drug trafficking ring." An excerpt:
We had a former CIA guy come on "Primetime" the other day, and he said the CIA makes money on the side with drug trafficking. It's like a side hustle because their funding isn't big enough, so they do some, you know, black ops in order to boost their budget and hide it from congressional oversight. And then use it for dirty stuff. So that's what they are doing with the drug trafficking.
And one of the reasons -- one of many reasons -- Donald Trump was defeated was because the CIA had had it with this guy, because he was threatening the cash flow. That and the China tariffs, among many other things. So when you threaten the donor money and you threaten the Democrat voters and you threaten that CIA cash flow, it's a problem. Joe Biden is such an agreeable empty suit, he's just letting it all happen.
I don't believe this without more proof. The fact that I consider it possible just shows how far we've fallen.
ReplyDeleteYes, there would need to be more proof. But it's the old saying about lying down with dogs, and the CIA has laid with a lot of dogs, so to speak, starting with its predecessor, the OSS, working with organized crime to keep American ports safe from German sabotage during World War II. Long ago I read a book on Mossad's exploits against the PLO following the Munich Massacre and one of the interesting things to me was how dependent they were on organized crime groups to obtain their weapons and explosives when operating in Western and Northern Europe. I'm sure all intelligence agencies have to lean on organized crime now and again and it would be easy for a quid-pro-quo relationship to develop into something more.
