Pepe Escobar - Afghanistan and the CIA Heroin Ratline

Liberals and lefties don't like conspiracy theories all that much because we like to see the evidence, but that doesn't mean to say that we don't question, wonder, or discuss these things, although without the facts we can never be sure. I trust Pepe Escobar, though, so I I'm putting this out for discussion. If true, the CIA and its backers in Washington are one hell of a criminal outfit.

The Persian Gulf harbors an array of extremely compromising secrets. Near the top is the Afghan heroin ratline – with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) positioned as the golden node of a transnational, trillion dollar heroin money laundering operation.
