do I really have to say it???
The activist source immediately cast suspicion about the accuracy of the report, since activists are driven by agendas and will not hesitate to use propaganda in order to make their case.
Also, the "investigation" was done in Mexico, which is known for its rampant corruption.
What better way to impede the DEA then to portray it as being the leading source of illicit drugs.
George
It would not surprise me in the least.
Everyone knows cops have the best dope and guns.
Well I was told by an ex-CIA rhat they used to store drugs in a certain hangar in Belize. Wouldn’t elaborate much and never on the phone.
do I really have to say it??? I used to angrily ignore such claims as the fanciful wet-dreams of afrocentric crypto drug dealers —I didn’t listen for ONE second.
Now?
Mostly I believe these “crazy” claims.
After all, five years ago if you’d have told me the BATF would use agents and officers to export machine-guns to Mexican drug-dealers specifically to generate MURDER headlines, I would have considered that crazy, also.
Or:
EIGHT hours of begging on the radio by 40 guys for Bengazi military rescue would bring almost NO rescue...??
I would have been insulted by that “crazy” claim.
Unfortunately, many Americans believe our federal government is corrupt.
Solyndra, and Fast & Furious are just the tip of the iceberg.
The regime is starting to scare me.

The BATFE allows firearms into the hands of the most notorious criminals in North America.
Why wouldn’t the DEA allow drugs into the hands or the same people?
There were a LOT of rumors during the Viet Nam “conflict” about the Feds running drugs, mostly opium to help finance the South Vietnamese government and to provide ‘bribe’ money for key people.
And heaven knows, heroin usage here, especially in the urban areas, skyrocketed. A LOT of movies were made then about it. The Supercops, Shaft and a whole bunch of others I don’t remember right now.
Once started that sort of thing generates a institutional life of it’s own.
IMHO Edward Snowden is being used as propaganda to discredit the NSA and to get the American people used to being the frog in the proverbial pot.
But that is just a SWAG.
Have they surpassed the CIA or has the DEA always been #1?
Who could have guessed that Eric the Corrupt was right in the middle of this.
Mena, Arkansas?
We’d all be better off if we’d wise up and accept that neither party is on “OUR” side. This has been going on since the beginning. George Washington sent the militia to quell the Whiskey Rebellion. When he died he was the largest whiskey maker in the country.
The “war on drugs” has been a criminal enterprise since its inception.
This is Not New,
Under President Reagan, Attorney General William French Smith, went before CONGRESS and pleaded for and RECEIVED a SPECIFIC EXEMPTION allowing the CIA to Import hundreds of thousands of pounds of COCAINE into the US during the 80’s.
Before that, the Kerry Commission (Senator Bob Kerry) investigated claims like this and produced the evidence in CONGRESS detailing the long history of our own Government being involved in the Drug Trade, but they chose to let everybody off the hook.
You can look these two FACTS UP by the way.
