FRANCE
According to Alfred W. McCoy in The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia, CIA arms, money, and disinformation enabled Corsican criminal syndicates in Marseille to wrestle control of labor unions from the Communist Party. The Corsicans gained political influence and control over the docks — ideal conditions for cementing a long-term partnership with mafia drug distributors, which turned Marseille into the postwar heroin capital of the Western world. Marseille’s first heroin laboratones were opened in 1951, only months after the Corsicans took over the waterfront.
EARLY 1950s, SOUTHEAST ASIA
The Nationalist Chinese army, organized by the CIA to wage war against Communist China, became the opium barons of The Golden Triangle (parts of Burma, Thailand and Laos), the world’s largest source of opium and heroin. Air America, the ClA’s principal airline proprietary, flew the drugs all over Southeast Asia. (See Christopher Robbins, Air America, Avon Books, 1985, chapter 9)
1950s to early 1970s, INDOCHINA During U.S. military involvement in Laos and other parts of Indochina, Air America flew opium and heroin throughout the area. Many Gl’s in Vietnam became addicts. A laboratory built at CIA headquarters in northern Laos was used to refine heroin. After a decade of American military intervention, Southeast Asia had become the source of 70 percent of the world’s illicit opium and the major supplier of raw materials for America’s booming heroin market.
1973-80, AUSTRALIA
The Nugan Hand Bank of Sydney was a CIA bank in all but name. Among its officers were a network of US generals, admirals and CIA men, including fommer CIA Director William Colby, who was also one of its lawyers. With branches in Saudi Arabia, Europe, Southeast Asia, South America and the U.S., Nugan Hand Bank financed drug trafficking, money laundering and international arms dealings. In 1980, amidst several mysterious deaths, the bank collapsed, $50 million in debt. (See Jonathan Kwitny, The Crimes of Patriots: A True Tale of Dope, Dirty Money and the CIA, W.W. Norton & Co., 1 987.)
1970s and 1980s, PANAMA
For more than a decade, Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega was a highly paid CIA asset and collaborator, despite knowledge by U.S. drug authorities as early as 1971 that the general was heavily involved in drug trafficking and money laundering. Noriega facilitated ”guns-for-drugs” flights for the contras, providing protection and pilots, as well as safe havens for drug cartel otficials, and discreet banking facilities. U.S. officials, including then-ClA Director William Webster and several DEA officers, sent Noriega letters of praise for efforts to thwart drug trafficking (albeit only against competitors of his Medellin Cartel patrons). The U.S. government only turned against Noriega, invading Panama in December 1989 and kidnapping the general once they discovered he was providing intelligence and services to the Cubans and Sandinistas. Ironically drug trafficking through Panama increased after the US invasion. (John Dinges, Our Man in Panama, Random House, 1991; National Security Archive Documentation Packet The Contras, Cocaine, and Covert Operations.)
1980s, CENTRAL AMERICA
The San Jose Mercury News series documents just one thread of the interwoven operations linking the CIA, the contras and the cocaine cartels. Obsessed with overthrowing the leftist Sandinista government in Nicaragua, Reagan administration officials tolerated drug trafficking as long as the traffickers gave support to the contras. In 1989, the Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism, Narcotics, and International Operations (the Kerry committee) concluded a three-year investigation by stating:
“There was substantial evidence of drug smuggling through the war zones on the part of individual Contras, Contra suppliers, Contra pilots mercenaries who worked with the Contras, and Contra supporters throughout the region…. U.S. officials involved in Central America failed to address the drug issue for fear of jeopardizing the war efforts against Nicaragua…. In each case, one or another agency of the U.S. govemment had intormation regarding the involvement either while it was occurring, or immediately thereafter…. Senior U S policy makers were nit immune to the idea that drug money was a perfect solution to the Contras’ funding problems.” (Drugs, Law Enforcement and Foreign Policy, a Report of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Subcommittee on Terrorism, Narcotics and Intemational Operations, 1989)
In Costa Rica, which served as the “Southern Front” for the contras (Honduras being the Northern Front), there were several different ClA-contra networks involved in drug trafficking. In addition to those servicing the Meneses-Blandon operation detailed by the Mercury News, and Noriega’s operation, there was CIA operative John Hull, whose farms along Costa Rica’s border with Nicaragua were the main staging area for the contras. Hull and other ClA-connected contra supporters and pilots teamed up with George Morales, a major Miami-based Colombian drug trafficker who later admitted to giving $3 million in cash and several planes to contra leaders. In 1989, after the Costa Rica government indicted Hull for drug trafficking, a DEA-hired plane clandestinely and illegally flew the CIA operative to Miami, via Haiti. The US repeatedly thwarted Costa Rican efforts to extradite Hull back to Costa Rica to stand trial. Another Costa Rican-based drug ring involved a group of Cuban Amencans whom the CIA had hired as military trainers for the contras. Many had long been involved with the CIA and drug trafficking They used contra planes and a Costa Rican-based shnmp company, which laundered money for the CIA, to move cocaine to the U.S. Costa Rica was not the only route. Guatemala, whose military intelligence service — closely associated with the CIA — harbored many drug traffickers, according to the DEA, was another way station along the cocaine highway.
Additionally, the Medellin Cartel’s Miami accountant, Ramon Milian Rodriguez, testified that he funneled nearly $10 million to Nicaraguan contras through long-time CIA operative Felix Rodriguez, who was based at Ilopango Air Force Base in El Salvador. The contras provided both protection and infrastructure (planes, pilots, airstrips, warehouses, front companies and banks) to these ClA-linked drug networks. At least four transport companies under investigation for drug trafficking received US govemment contracts to carry non-lethal supplies to the contras. Southern Air Transport, “formerly” ClA-owned, and later under Pentagon contract, was involved in the drug running as well. Cocaine-laden planes flew to Florida, Texas, Louisiana and other locations, including several militarv bases Designated as ‘Contra Craft,” these shipments were not to be inspected. When some authority wasn’t clued in and made an arrest, powerful strings were pulled on behalf of dropping the case, acquittal, reduced sentence, or deportation.
1980s to early 1990s, AFGHANISTAN
ClA-supported Moujahedeen rebels engaged heavily in drug trafficking while fighting against the Soviet-supported govemment and its plans to reform the very backward Afghan society. The Agency’s principal client was Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, one of the leading druglords and leading heroin refiner. CIA supplied trucks and mules, which had carried arms into Afghanistan, were used to transport opium to laboratories along the Afghan Pakistan border. The output provided up to one half of the heroin used annually in the United States and three-quarters of that used in Western Europe. US officials admitted in 1990 that they had failed to investigate or take action against the drug operabon because of a desire not to offend their Pakistani and Afghan allies. In 1993, an official of the DEA called Afghanistan the new Colombia of the drug world.
MlD-1980s to early 199Os, HAITI
While working to keep key Haitian military and political leaders in power, the CIA turned a blind eye to their clients’ drug trafficking. In 1986, the Agency added some more names to its payroll by creating a new Haitian organization, the National Intelligence Service (SIN). SIN was purportedly created to fight the cocaine trade, though SIN officers themselves engaged in the trafficking, a trade aided and abetted by some of the Haitian military and political leaders.

The US government can't get every drug smuggler, they ought to be choosing their targets carefully. Hopefully they are going after the more problematic ones.

Looking the other way on confidential informants or their organization is standard counter narcotics practice, i'm not sure why people would find that surprising.

The reason people find it surprising is that they are "convinced" that the CIA is actively selling illegal drugs in an official capacity.
They are probably wrong.
However they are already convinced, and they really want to believe - so they latch on to any shred of evidence, no matter how slim to attempt to "prove" what they already "know".
If the CIA gets caught selling drugs I'll be shouting about it from the rooftops. But without evidence, saying that they are is irresponsible. Yes, I have read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegations_of_CIA_drug_trafficking. ; It's all old info which fails to make a convincing argument that this is an ongoing issue. The most damning evidence comes from highly dubious sources. CIA agents have been caught selling drugs, but there was no evidence that this was anything other than poor management oversight.

The article was about how the CIA controls the cartels, providing them with opportunity to import as well as supply of product.
The Mexican government who is trying to stop the drug cartels is upset with the CIA because the CIA is manipulating the drug trade for profit and enforcing the drug trade not deconstructing it.

At one point you said "why would the CIA risk selling drugs" first it's not a risk because it's the CIA and DEA who have permits to handle as much drugs as they want, they are not risking anything, and the government knows the CIA deals drugs... Look at Iran contra, Ollie north and Reagan sold weapons to Iran to fund rebel armies in Nicaragua...so what makes you think it's so outrageous that the VIA sells drugs to do the same thing? a plane full of cocaine also crashed just before this in Nicaragua, the pilot was a CIA agent running cocaine importation from Nicaragua to the US, then running the profits back to give to the contras, when the pilot was found by the Nicaraguan government he did not hysterectomy say "I work for the CIA" Quote:

The most damning evidence comes from highly dubious sources. CIA agents have been caught selling drugs, but there was no evidence that this was anything other than poor management oversight.
Grabbing any shred of evidence?, have you read any other post on this thread? Have you ever done the least bit of research on drugs and the drug war? This isn't speculation, this is known, and it's confirmed by ex-CIA and all their civilian ex-operitives
Ex-CIA agents will admit everything as they have before, regardless it's obvious that this is what's going on, and if you have ever done any in depth research on the drug war you would know the CIA are notorious drug dealers, seriously read a book or watch a documentary on the drug war, I promise the CIA gets credit where it's due.
Are you familiar with MKULTRA? This was more CIA drug manipulation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MKUltra
Again you find it hard to believe that the people who control the drugs are not taking advantage of their contraband status to fund rebel armies fighting their enemies without congressional or public approval, when they have been caught doing it thousands of times...hell, Reagan and Ollie north sold weapons to Iran to do the exact same thing (to fund the contrast in Nicaragua)
I'd say before you think that your precious government and CIA and DEA are not global drug dealers that maybe you should do.some research on the topic.
I'll make it easy, in this link is a credible documentary on the drug war called American drug war:the last white hope The whole film.is for free in the link, it breaks down the drug war objectively, and surprise surprise, the CIA are at the top of the drug dealing empire.
This should be common sense, anybody who knows anything about drugs and their history knows the role the CIA and DEA play.
I'll leave you with a mckenna lecture, I encourage you to research every historical reference he makes regarding political parties and the drugs the CIA helped them deal to fight the enemies of the United states...
When I wrote this book, I did a lot of research on an area I didn't know that much about, which is, let's say from 1500 to the present, drugs of addiction. And what I discovered is drug smuggling is like assassination. If the government isn't involved, it never seems to really happen. And governments have been using drugs for centuries as forms of secret revenue. This whole sugar thing that I laid out to you, those were decisions made by the crown heads of Europe in collusion with the Pope. It wasn't common people who set those policies in place.
During the 1960's, when the black ghettos began to come apart, suddenly number three China white heroin was cheaper and more available than it had ever been in any time in this history of the heroin problem in the United States. Why? Because the CIA saw, you know, all these black guys are getting up, a bunch of uppity niggers as the government calls them, you just smother it in heroin. Get everybody either hooked or making money...
And they don't care really about the effects of drugs, and one group, one faction will work against another. For example, I'm a great afficianado of hashish, and hashish became very hard to get in the United States in the late 70's. But as soon as the Russians invaded Afghanistan, suddenly there was massive amounts of excellent Afghani hashish, at prices that nobody had seen for fifteen years. Well, the reason was, the CIA knows that hashish is not really a problem. But what they wanted is, they wanted an income for the mujahadin. And they had to pay for all these weapons. So they just started bringing it in wholesale. And it wasn't even a smuggling operation. I mean, I received reports from people who said, you know, 'Smuggling? They're not smuggling. They're unloading it on pier 39, union local 1030 is taking off, you know, five hundred pound blocks of hashish by the tens of thousands.' And the day the Afghan war ended? They staged an enormous series of interlocking busts on their own infrastructure, and they closed it down, and they pulled it to pieces.
When Khomeni kicked out the Shah, the Iranian heroin business then fell under the control of the mulahs, and at that point, suddenly cocaine emerges as a major problem in the United States, because we just switched our supply lines. We could no longer depend on Iranian heroin, because we couldn't depend on these screwy Islamic fundamentalists, so we just turned toward all of these company assets in Honduras and Ecuador and Columbia. Very, very cynical.
You know, it's only been a hundred and twenty years since the so called opium wars. Very few people know what the opium wars, what was the issue in the opium wars. Well, it turns out the British government wanted to deal opium in China, and the Chinese Emperor told them to get lost. And they flipped. And they sent naval units, and they laid siege to several Chinese cities, and they forced the Chinese imperial court to agree that they could deal as much opium as they wanted on the wharves of Shanghai...
The Japanese, when they invaded Manchuria in the Second World War, they immediately began producing heroin and opium in vast amounts, not then as an economic strategy, but as a strategy to break the will of the Chinese population by encouraging addiction, and there was vast amounts of opium addiction. If any of you saw 'The Last Emperor,' you recall that his mistress was severely addicted to opium, and it depicted it in a number of scenes.
So governments have very cynically manipulated drugs, so that the drugs which make it possible for capitalism to function are cheap and freely available, and the drugs which erode dominator values, or cause people to question their situation, are savagely supressed.

Why did you not include this wiki link in your post?, you must have seen it
American drug war: the last white hope
Did you see that long list in my last post? Please research every item on it in depth.
http://www.rt.com/usa/194992-cia-crack-scandal-webb/ An article backing the initial report of CIA running cocaine for the contras, the initial reporter killed himself, but now people involved are comming forward.
http://nsarchive.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB2/index.html#1 https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2014/10/02/cont-o02.html In the links there's a document proving the CIA knew of cocaine smuggling activities tied to the contras
http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/crime/item/12247-cia-manages-drug-trade-mexican-official-says
The link above I posted before, but the last person who read it did not understand what it was saying at all...
http://americanfreepress.net/?p=16169 This is an article on how the CIA is fueling the heroin epidemic.
In April 1998, Celerino Castillo, a former top-level Drug Enforcement Agency operative, provided sensitive, first-hand testimony to the US Senate House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. He told the Senators of his direct personal knowledge of massive CIA complicity in the drug trade. http://www.deepblacklies.co.uk/cia_drug_trafficking.htm Here is the article from which the above clip was taken...
This is just scratching the surface, there's report after report, documents, ex-CIA and DEA testimony, programs like MKULTRA which became public, look into"operation midnight climax" this is where a high level CIA agent (Sidney gotlieb) would dress as a beatnik and go to coffee houses in the bay area feeding unsuspecting citizens LSD, which he named "stormy" due to the varied and wild reactions. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Midnight_Climax
How much evidence do you need?
It would be harder to prove that they are not drug distributors.
If you don't think the CIA and DEA are drug distributors that's your choice, but anybody educated in the matter would not agree with you.

The Agency’s principal client was Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, one of the leading druglords and leading heroin refiner. CIA supplied trucks and mules, which had carried arms into Afghanistan, were used to transport opium to laboratories along the Afghan Pakistan border. The output provided up to one half of the heroin used annually in the United States and three-quarters of that used in Western Europe. US officials admitted in 1990 that they had failed to investigate or take action against the drug operabon because of a desire not to offend their Pakistani and Afghan allies. In 1993, an official of the DEA called Afghanistan the new Colombia of the drug world.
MlD-1980s to early 199Os, HAITI
While working to keep key Haitian military and political leaders in power, the CIA turned a blind eye to their clients’ drug trafficking. In 1986, the Agency added some more names to its payroll by creating a new Haitian organization, the National Intelligence Service (SIN). SIN was purportedly created to fight the cocaine trade, though SIN officers themselves engaged in the trafficking, a trade aided and abetted by some of the Haitian military and political leaders.

Coincidentiaoppositorum said: At one point you said "why would the CIA risk selling drugs" first it's not a risk because it's the CIA and DEA who have permits to handle as much drugs as they want, they are not risking anything, and the government knows the CIA deals drugs...
If the Inspector General finds out that the CIA or DEA are selling drugs, they will put a stop to it real fast and people will lose their jobs and go to jail. Their permits do not cover sales.
Every federal agency has their own division of Inspector General looking over their shoulders. These guys are professional auditors, and they are very good at their jobs.

That's a bit before my time - and they did get caught and heads (sort of) rolled.
These days with cell phones and cameras everywhere, it is much more difficult to get away with shady things.

I have read every post in this thread.

Have you ever done the least bit of research on drugs and the drug war?
I have been active in drug policy reform for 20 years.
Quote:
Ex-CIA agents will admit everything as they have before, regardless it's obvious that this is what's going on, and if you have ever done any in depth research on the drug war you would know the CIA are notorious drug dealers, seriously read a book or watch a documentary on the drug war, I promise the CIA gets credit where it's due.
Which ex-CIA agents have come out and said this?

Are you familiar with MKULTRA? This was more CIA drug manipulation.
I am very familiar with MKULTRA - I have read Acid Dreams, and even have visited a house in SF where this occurred. By visited I mean walked by and been like....damn there's the house!
Quote:
Again you find it hard to believe that the people who control the drugs are not taking advantage of their contraband status to fund rebel armies fighting their enemies without congressional or public approval, when they have been caught doing it thousands of times...
I don't believe anything without evidence.
If you have evidence that the CIA or DEA is currently selling drugs, please share it.
I'd say before you think that your precious government and CIA and DEA are not global drug dealers that maybe you should do.some research on the topic.
Quote:
I'll make it easy, in this link is a credible documentary on the drug war called American drug war:the last white hope The whole film.is for free in the link, it breaks down the drug war objectively, and surprise surprise, the CIA are at the top of the drug dealing empire.
The internet is too slow to watch videos here in this tiny town in Mexico.

This is a net York Times article titled "the CIA drug connection is as old as the agency"
This happened when I was in high school, and the information came from a sketchy unverified source.
Quote:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_involvement_in_Contra_cocaine_trafficking
Why did you not include this wiki link in your post?, you must have seen it
From your source: A CIA internal investigation found that agents had worked with drug traffickers to support the Contra program, but found no evidence of any conspiracy by CIA or its employees to bring drugs into the United States.
Everyone agrees they did that - it's shady and they got busted, but it's a far cry from the CIA selling drugs.
Quote:
How much evidence do you need?
Anything that indicates that the CIA or DEA are currently involved in selling drugs would suffice.
Quote:
It would be harder to prove that they are not drug distributors.
You can't prove a negative. Certainly some CIA and DEA agents sell drugs - but if they get caught by their boss, they'll be fired and criminally charged.
Quote:
If you don't think the CIA and DEA are drug distributors that's your choice, but anybody educated in the matter would not agree with you.
Without any current evidence?????
