I don't disagree, however there is no overriding organized conspiracy as much as it seems to be a point of mutually coalescing interests...
The CIA has little interest in getting involved with drug trafficking, that's just silly. They couldn't keep their "secret prisons" for al Qaida suspects secret, but they've kept their dirty-black hand in the drug trade a secret? Really?I can't speak to any of this CIA angle in the global drug trade although it does seem plausible given the amount of instances the claim has come up.
Sure there is a link between drug trafficking and human trafficking, as is the involvement of Mexican organized crime/cartels. But why would the feds have to be up to their elbows in much when often federal law enforcement is outgunned and out-budgeted by these criminal gangs that are now threatening the very stability of Mexico and the sovereignty of the Mexican gov't?But I can speak to the complexity and clear involvement at a local level from first hand exposure to it back in the late 70's in central California. I was a cook at a Sambo's restaurant in Gilroy, Ca doing breakfast Mon-Fri, 6-2. Every morning this was a primary business hub for local farmers and business people in the city. It's a small town surrounded by huge agricultural business which relied heavily on "migrant workers" and cheap labor to care and harvest tomatoes, lettuce, onions and garlic.
Even back then there was a direct link between both human and drug trafficking... Gilroy was a central distribution point for heroin, coke and weed flowing out of Mexico. It was also a major distribution point for human trafficking. Back then the Cartel was called the Mexican Mafia or La Familia... they operated openly. They provided the human work force and coordinated shipping workers to the huge farms. Farmers financed local and state politicians and law enforcement to keep the environment friendly to the businesses. Trucking firms hauled people and drugs where ever. The larger groups in the agricultural business funded federal candidates and programs aimed at keeping all this moving.
The amazing thing was most of this "business" was conducted openly over coffee, eggs and pancakes during the day right in the restaurant. Funny everyone around knew what was playing out in that town, but no one dared raising an eyebrow. Today I'm sure it's not as blatantly played out in public... but the same scenario from top to bottom continues... especially in California and the southwest US. To think our federal government isn't up to their elbows in this muck... would be naive to deny...Comment

I've no doubt that that was - and still is - the case. The point is, however, that there is a world of difference between saying 'the police/feds know this is going on and aren't stopping it' (largely because they don't have the 'smoking gun' evidence or the manpower to stop organised crime on that level) and 'the CIA is directly organising the infiltration of drugs into the US - it is the hidden hand that aims to corrupt everything', which seems to be what Elvis is saying.The Power Of The Riff Compels MeComment

Well, you should just be aware the CIA admitted in sworn testimony before Congress back in the 90s that they were heavily involved in importing cocaine into the US. You can most likely find clips of it on youtube if you look for it. So it is not as silly as you might want to think.Comment

Starts at 2:40. Stewart Copeland's father was a founding member of the CIA. I wonder if Miles Copeland was running drugs out of Lebanon?
The Police were going around the world in 1980. I bet Stewart had drugs in his drums.

Hitz also testified that the CIA did not "expeditiously" cut off relations with alleged drug traffickers.[18]
