How the US Failed to Take Down Narco-terrorism | The War on Drugs
Ойын-сауық
Hezbollah is a Lebanese terrorist organisation and the political party responsible for deadly attacks all over the world. This is the story of how they became major players not just in the Middle East hash trade, but in the global cocaine and amphetamine business - trafficking tons of drugs across the world, and laundering hundreds of millions of dollars for South American cartels.
Even murkier is how a major DEA investigation into these activities was allegedly undermined by the CIA and the White House - leading agents from different agencies to all end up accusing each other of endangering national security.

Very informative, the DEA vs CIA dispute in the Cassandra operation. Case in point: In 2022 the US Treasury sanctioned former president of Paraguay Horacio Cartes under the Magnitsky Act, accusing him of laundering drug money for Hezbollah.The guy owns a few banks and basically half of the countrie's big business. The US government repeatedly threatened to deport the him to America to undergo trial and there was even an airplane sent to Paraguay to allegedly fly him back to the US . But a year has gone by and he is still alive and kicking. This really baffled me, until I saw this video.
Its been a while since I watched a program like this from Vice, glad its making a comeback
A bit hard to counter something you helped established

Genuine happiness is still plausible even with the cards stacked against. We’re just gonna have to work/want it harder and we can’t do it alone. All glory to Jah.

Fentanyl is used in hospital settings and prescribed for serious pain there is nothing wrong with it when the dose is known and monitored by professionals The issue is when it is not regulated and produced on the black market as the strength of the product is unknown it’s a clear example of the increase in danger with current United States drug policy Regardless it is true the United States is at fault for the fentanyl crisis due to how they approached the opioid crisis years ago They should have provided safe supply when the heroin epidemic was raging and people wouldn’t have moved to fentanyl as heroin is a preferred drug but isn’t available By now they would have seen decreases in overdoses addiction and crime rates rather than increases

Even leaving aside the federal drug laws, decriminalisation is a bit like applying a bandage to an open fracture.

Been to several cocaine producing countries. The problem (supply) only shifts from region to region, but will never disappear as long as demand exists. Very simple market economics. If you really want to learn something about the subject: read the book Narconomics.
Vice's drug related news is the best in the world! Nowhere can you find well informed, objective drug related news that is brought is such a succinct, easy to understand way.

Keeping drugs illegal and dehabilitating is a vested interest of every invasive power in the world. That being as it is, making drugs a preferable alternative to life without them by depriving the masses of the basic joys of life is also a major objective.

What a stupid comment. The world has just had a "war on terror" and, if anything, is less afraid of condemning terrorism than it is of utilising the threat of terrorism in order to attempt to police the world and dominate political spheres. Also, terrorism is not a race issue and thinking that it is shows that you probably have issues with race yourself. Would you make assumptions about the FARC based on their varied ethnic background? What about Ulster Loyalist terrorists, who are mostly white and who now mostly run drugs?
Everyone involved in the war on drugs needs to be thrown in prison.

making drugs illegal and unregulated created a market with increased profit margins. At the same time the youth of the nation, being imprisoned, were further pushed into the crime world. resulting in more criminals. Are drugs really bad or is it the law that is manufacturing this crisis? majority of drug incarcerations are end users. all for what? to satisfy righteous people, preaching its immoral to do drugs? A law based on morality? Can this law be misused to lock up a certain demographic? people like you are part of the problem. If drugs are made in America by American farmers this problem would never arise. A manufactured crisis.
