Drug ‘war’ funds covert operations

To fund its meddling in the internal affairs of other nations, the United States conducts the War on Drugs. The purpose is to enable American covert operatives to collect off-budget funds for those purposes.

After all, if you’re going to have, say, the CIA stick to its published budget, a foreign intelligence service would be able to guess from those figures what initiatives CIA might be taking at what prices. Clearly there have to be off-budget funds.

Making certain psychoactive and recreational drugs illegal is the most productive way to garner a dependable flow of narco-dollars into America’s covert-opps coffers.

We learned that from the Reagan Administration’s intrusions into Nicaragua that U.S. operatives cooperate with drug cartels.

Were it not for their being illegal, the majority of drugs would be practically worthless.

Marijuana, for instance, is a plant that can spread like the weed that it is. The only reason it costs money is that it’s illegal to grow or possess it.

So the War on Drugs is in place not to substantiate the sanctimonious moralizing its operatives pretend to believe, but to keep prices high so the government can break its own laws to fund secret operations.
