The Naked Troubadour

The War in Afghanistan was Only Ever About the Control of Opium

YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION IN AFGHANISTAN until you grasp the fact that the US instigation of upheavals and wars around the world have never had anything to do with “policing the planet” or “generating democracy” but are all about who controls drug production and distribution. This is the case whether it involves poppy-fields in South-East Asia and Afghanistan, or coca plantations in Central America. Behind it all is the CIA as enforcement operator, working hand in glove with international crime syndicates in the production and distribution of heroin and cocaine, as it both finances its hugely expensive black operations and keeps a significant part of society in the grip of debilitating and evil substances. The CIA even destabilised the 1960s anti-war movement by the mass distribution of LSD so that it morphed into the passive, dopey “Love ‘n Peace, man” hippie scene! There is more…

Whoever happens to be the president means absolutely nothing in relation to all this. Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden. It’s all the same. They are ALL puppets placed there to serve the purpose of the power-elite. Until you understand that, you will remain a political ignoramus. Presidents and prime ministers do not make decisions about war and suchlike. They are up to their necks in military and spook “advisors” who really control the show on behalf of the power-elite. I remember when I wrote a two-part 25,000-word investigative article (“Let No One Deceive You” and “The CIA as Global Drugs Baron”) nearly twenty years ago which encapsulated all this, there was a huge outcry from mostly Americans (and mostly American “Christians”) who thought I had lost my senses. Nothing much has changed. Most people today will be in denial about all this. (Most likely the same people who are in denial about the COVID debacle and the vaccine. ). You are free to laugh at what I am saying here, but until you have researched it properly, you will just seem ignorant and stupid in doing so. For the evidence is overwhelming.

By all means continue with your little fantasies about “the Land of the Free” and the “sacredness of the constitution” and all such similar baloney. But one day, you will receive a rude awakening about all this when you see where it has led. The astonishing thing about that moment will be that most will still continue to be in denial, and they will also avidly persecute those who are not. We live in interesting times…
