I am reading the very enlightening - and nauseating - book, “Operation Gladio: the Unholy Alliance between The Vatican, The CIA, and The Mafia”, Williams, Paul L. It would appear that the CIA was funded through the sale of heroin and cocaine, received and sold from and by members of the mafia at the time, and banked and laundered through the Vatican’s personal bank. It is a highly cited book with names of the folks involved.

If 98% of the above is, in fact true, it explains a multitude of illegal and morally inhumane actions by people we assumed to have integrity, decency and honor as world/local leaders. In the end, one and only one supreme God has what we can totally depend on.

I didn't remember JFK 'firing' CIA Director - Alan Dulles- (just before he was assassinated), but Alan Dulles was the younger brother of John Foster Dulles - BOTH of which were COUNCIL on FOREIGN RELATIONS members - with John Foster being one of the founders of the "CFR".

John Foster Dulles at one time stated that "the United Nation Charter superseded the United States Constitution." Sez it all.

Watch “The Octopus Murders” on Netflix. The PROMIS software at DoJ in 1970s revealed collusion of CIA and criminals including Vatican money laundering. So magically the US Mob was taken down in the 1980s and Indian casinos appeared everywhere. Who is the Mafia now in US? Who launders the money? 😂

THANK YOU for this information. I will be sure to read that one next. I must enjoy sickening books ... but the truth is -- I prefer to be informed and enlightened and to the best of my ability -- know who is the best person to vote for.

The seventies, if you can believe it, were 50 years ago and with the CIA they certainly have honed their skills over those years. As we have witnessed our governments ability to take control of pharmaceuticals especially in the COVID crisis. No ivermectin for you! The way the government demonized it!

Think about the use of oxycodone. The government allowed this synthetic heroine to be spread coast to coast throughout the public creating addicts who inevitably would have their prescription end. This resulted in thousands of addicted people going to the street to get their fix and heroine is what replaced the oxycodone. My brother got wrapped up in this after falling off a wall at the Gardner prison, as a prison guard. They put him on oxycodone. After a long horrible bought with heroine and methadone addiction he died at 48.

I remember as a kid pot, hash, mescaline, acid etc. pouring into my neighborhood. I was talking about this the other day to a friend. I honestly don’t think this was an uncontrolled coincidence. This stuff was pushed through the suburbs of Boston, there are no coincidences. The government knew exactly what was happening if they weren’t a part of it they definitely allowed it. J.Goodrich

A bit older and and different slant. Back in the day word was the mob kept the drug trade limited to black neighborhoods (ala The Godfather). When school integration was put on steriods and experienced black pushers introduced to middle class white customers their trade took off like a rocket. Heard this opined by an L.A. gang cop back in the 80s. Do know there was no problem with drugs in the schools in Okla. City in the 60s

There is a difference in the addictive qualities of THC, acid, mescaline and opioids. The first three are not addictive physically, more mentally and emotionally. The heroin and other opioids (even cigarettes) are highly addictive physically. There is an old documentary called "Hofmann's Potion" that is interesting, James.

I agree with you DD. Pot certainly could be used as a sedative for a society. And I think like any drug if you allow it to become normal in your life it will. The governments I’m sure use these serious addictive drugs like heroine to harm people and societies in very negative ways. It’s unthinkable to me that a president, this last administration, wouldn’t do all he could to stop fentanyl from destroying the young.

There are other uses for cannabis that can be therapeutic. Pres. Trump indicated in an interview about a "grouping" (I can't remember the exact wording) that are running the show. This is such a convoluted situation that Biden and so many others are just a pawn in the game. These are huge and deathly "games" that are being played that another assassination attempt on a few wouldn't surprise me at all.

I’ve used CBD on my knees and it definitely helped with pain. I’ve also used it on my wife’s feet and she loves it. I’m a believer!!

I'm sure there are other good companies for CBD, but check out "Joy Organics" They make a salve that is organic, not all of their stuff is, some of the liquid CBD is. Good to be organic when it is absorbed into the skin.

Hard to be blase re LSD when you worked in a bldg. where they treated kids who never came home from their last trip, some occasionally ending that trip via a window on the 7th floor.

I used LSD every weekend for over 2 years, 1500 micrograms (10 tabs) as a spiritual practice. I wouldn't recommend that dosage as an unsupervised experience. It takes a strong psyche and a bit of grace to have the outcome be enlightening...

The CIA is still in the heroin trade. I’ve heard of many soldiers who came back from Afghanistan who did nothing but be security forces for large poppy fields when they were stationed there. I’d say the it lends credence to it being a CIA opp. The Taliban destroyed many of these poppy farms when they took over power of Afghanistan as drugs of any kind are against hardline islamists. I’m not sure why soldiers were guarding these fields but I also know not many were questioning it either.

It is my understanding that drugs are not the only activity of the CIA - how about children being sex trafficked? There are multiple DUMBS (deep underground military bases all over the US used for all sorts of dark things, including kids enslaved. I have a story I don't share lightly.

Beyond these particular operations, it makes so much sense.

Not only untraceable $$$, but no need to mess with congressional oversight and appropriations or IGs.

There's much more to this story than you've so far published. And it involves the CIA, Air America, USAID, the DEA and the mafia.

The CIA's distribution of heroin actually had its beginnings right after WW II. In the late 1940s the newly formed CIA (Truman's replacement for WW II's OSS) contracted with Gen. Claire Chenault (founder/leader of the American Volunteer Group - the "Flying Tigers" - during WW II) to form Civilian Air Transport (CAT) to fly opium into China's opium epicenter - the Yunnan Province - where it was processed and sold by the remnants of Chiang Kai-Shek's army - the Kuomintang (KMT). The KMT used the money to finance their ongoing civil war with the Communist Chinese. Truman "gifted" CAT with surplus US military aircraft to fly these missions. CAT was originally "owned" by the KMT and flown by US former military. The CIA "bought" CAT in 1950 and continued to operate it for the benefit of the KMT. In 1959 the CIA changed the airline's name to Air America. When the KMT were forced to abandon Yunnan Province, Air America then flew harvested opium to the KMT's new headquarters in northeastern Burma. KMT transported the opium to northwest Thailand (near Chiang Mai) where the opium was processed into heroin. Air America flew some KMT-sourced heroin to Saigon where it was trafficked to US service members. But the vast majority of KMT-sourced heroin was transported to Bangkok and sold to international wholesale dealers who in turn trafficked the heroin to Europe and California. This KMT-CIA-USAID heroin was the subject of the movie, "The French Connection."

By 1970, KMT-sourced heroin comprised 80% of the world's heroin market, thanks to the CIA, Air America and, as discussed next, USAID.

In 1961, Kennedy formed USAID. One of USAID's first activities was the stationing of "agents" in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, Thailand. Why? USAID's agents' "secret" mission was to coordinate with corrupt Thai military and police to ensure the KMT's opium/heroin shipments were "uninterrupted." USAID agents oversaw the uninterrupted shipment of these drug all around the world.

The Trafficante mafia family was one of KMT's drug wholesalers. The same Trafficante family who, in 1961, worked with the CIA to invade Cuba. [Air America trained personnel who transported the aborted Bay of Pigs invasion force.] The CIA also contracted with the Trafficante family in 1961 to attempt to assassinate Castro. The Trafficante family "controlled" Tampa and New Orleans, so we must assume that the CIA guaranteed the Trafficante family's "unobstructed" use of those two ports in exchange for their collaborations on Cuba.

Affiliates of the Trafficante family, in the 1980s, collaborated with the CIA in the financing of weapons sent to Nicaraguan anti-Sandinista revolutionaries, and sent to Iran in a (failed) attempt to free hostages. (Google: Oliver North, Iran/Contra Scandal).

On a personal note: I was stationed in Chiang Mai, Thailand (1972-73) performing a top-secret USAF mission to detect Chinese/Russian nuclear tests. Chiang Mai USAID agent Robert C. (Bob) Lightfoot befriended me and, while attempting to "recruit me," described his opium/heroin coordination activities. Lightfoot once took me with him and two Thai army generals on an Air America-flown helicopter trip to the Burma/China border where they coordinated opium/heroin shipments with local KMT drug lords. When the Drug Enforcement Agency was formed in 1973, the USAID agents, including Lightfoot, simply swapped business cards and became the DEA's initial cadre. Proof: Google my USAID-friend's name on the DEA memorial wall - Robert C. Lightfoot.

Thank you Dr. Malone... your conclusion bears repeating, "And the USA can never become the beacon of freedom and liberty that the world so desperately needs while supporting and deploying corrupt “dark triangle” organizations like the CIA and USAID. The ends do not justify the means. The USA must commit to and maintain a moral center that cannot be compromised. The failure to do so is the source of the rot, and it must be excised."

That the CIA and USAID have been supported for decades by Congress says what about our representatives?

What a surprise that others are aware of Operation Phoenix (Doug Valentine), the non-fiction story of the CIA's Viet Nam conflict (most recently, the Afghanistan conflict). One of or their primary mission was the international trafficking of heroin and cocaine. Moreover, I latter discovered that because of CIA's leaders prejudice against Negros, they intentionally trafficked the heroin to black inner-city neighborhoods.

One of the reasons the CIA also became known as "a government within a government".

If you want more reason to suspect the CIA is evil, read Cathy O'Brien's TranceFormation of America. Very difficult to stomach and even believe at times...the veracity of her recounting is questionable due to the nature and scope of the abuse she endured...amazing she survived. But even if some of the details are not 100% accurate, her overall journey is testament to the depths of psychopathic forces at play. Other sources echo her assertions. She is extraordinary, as is her tale...even when published in 1995, her book cites vaccines as linked to mind control in Haiti.

MD/PhD Darrell Tanelian age 15 Stanford entry told me over dinner 2007 that the government would use the vaccine as a way to control the people. He said once it’s integrated into the DNA an exogenous substance can activate the program. I thought that sounded crazy back then but not now.

Fascinating! Yet, I still can't understand the potentially fatal attraction of drugs.

In my college days, found myself next door to a drug operation. The actor enrolled in a University, set up an operation and moved on to the next U. They offered me their wares for free (turned down). Offered me a chance to go with the actor and live in an avacado orchard. I reported all this to the local police.

Earlier, heard of the Chinese addiction issues. Did wonder at their rulers' motives and why the population bought into this subtraphuge.

Today, we have the drugs, pandemics and contaminated fare.

Time to get smart, investigate, see the larger picture and draw conclusions for ourselves. Dont bite on Eve's apple. Help others ro reach wise conclusions.

Thank you Doctors for shining light on the truths we can benefit from knowing!

From where I sit, the only thing that will slow the drug business is a public who is educated enough to make wise choices. Will that ever happen enough to eradicate addiction? Probably not, but the awareness of the grid can help break it down. This is part of the symbol of Adam offering Eve the "apple". This is part of the challenge and lesson about the human psyche.
