But of course, the above is Fantasy. This is the Reality that makes all the theory above really just too late, even if the logic is correct. It's all about to go to shit.

"The only thing you have to fear is fear itself."

Too late now. The DEA works for Europe now, apparently.

Awfully nice of them. I suppose after the stellar job they've done on the domestic front, it's only understandable that there would be Demand for the services they Supply.

U.S. Drug War Expands to Africa, a Newer Hub for Cartels
By CHARLIE SAVAGE and THOM SHANKER
Published: July 21, 2012

WASHINGTON — In a significant expansion of the war on drugs, the United States has begun training an elite unit of counternarcotics police in Ghana and planning similar units in Nigeria and Kenya as part of an effort to combat the Latin American cartels that are increasingly using Africa to smuggle cocaine into Europe.

The growing American involvement in Africa follows an earlier escalation of antidrug efforts in Central America, according to documents, Congressional testimony and interviews with a range of officials at the State Department, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Pentagon.

In both regions, American officials are responding to fears that crackdowns in more direct staging points for smuggling — like Mexico and Spain — have prompted traffickers to move into smaller and weakly governed states, further corrupting and destabilizing them.

The aggressive response by the United States is also a sign of how greater attention and resources have turned to efforts to fight drugs as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have wound down.

“We see Africa as the new frontier in terms of counterterrorism and counternarcotics issues,” said Jeffrey P. Breeden, the chief of the D.E.A.’s Europe, Asia and Africa section. “It’s a place that we need to get ahead of — we’re already behind the curve in some ways, and we need to catch up.”

Mr. Brownfield said the vision for both regions was to improve the ability of nations to deal with drug trafficking, by building up their own institutions and getting them to cooperate with one another, sharing intelligence and running regional law enforcement training centers.

But because drug traffickers have already moved into Africa, he said, there is also a need for the immediate elite police units that have been trained and vetted.

“We have to be doing operational stuff right now because things are actually happening right now,” Mr. Brownfield said.

Some specialists have expressed skepticism about the approach. Bruce Bagley, a professor at the University of Miami who focuses on Latin America and counternarcotics, said that what had happened in West Africa over the past few years was the latest example of the “Whac-A-Mole” problem, in which making trafficking more difficult in one place simply shifts it to another.

“As they put on the pressure, they are going to detour routes, but they are not going to stop the flow, because the institutions are incredibly weak — I don’t care how much vetting they do,” Professor Bagley said. “And there is always blowback to this. You start killing people in foreign countries — whether criminals or not — and there is going to be fallout.”

American government officials acknowledge the challenges, but they are not as pessimistic about the chances of at least pushing the trafficking organizations out of particular countries. And even if the intervention leads to an increase in violence as organizations that had operated with impunity are challenged, the alternative, they said, is worse.

The United Nations says that cocaine smuggling and consumption in West Africa have soared in recent years, contributing to instability in places like Guinea-Bissau. Several years ago, a South American drug gang tried to bribe the son of the Liberian president to allow it to use the country for smuggling. Instead, he cooperated with the D.E.A., and the case resulted in convictions in the United States.

Even more ominous, according to American officials, was a case in which a militant group called Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb offered three of its operatives to help ship tons of cocaine through North Africa into Europe — all to raise money to finance terrorist attacks. The case ended this past March with conviction and sentencing in federal court in New York.

American counternarcotics assistance for West Africa has totaled about $50 million for each of the past two years — up from just $7.5 million in 2009, according to the State Department. The D.E.A. also is opening its first country office in Senegal, officials said, and the Pentagon has worked with Cape Verde to establish a regional center to detect drug-smuggling ships.

While the agency has not sponsored units in West Africa before, it has long worked with similar teams — which are given training, equipment and pay while being subjected to rigorous drug and polygraph testing — in countries around the world whose security forces are plagued by corruption, including the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala and Panama.

It is routine for D.E.A. agents who are assigned to mentor the specially trained and screened units to accompany them on raids, but it has been unusual for Americans to kill suspects. Several former agents said the recent cases in Honduras suggested that the D.E.A. had been at the vanguard of the operations there rather than merely serving as advisers in the background.

By contrast, the effort in West Africa is still at the beginning stages, officials say. But the problems there are the same — and growing. Officials described one instance in which a methamphetamine lab was discovered in Africa, with documents suggesting that it had been set up by a Mexican trafficking organization. William F. Wechsler, the Pentagon’s top counternarcotics officer, said that observing drug traffickers’ advances into West Africa, and the response from American and local authorities, was like watching a rerun of the drug war in this hemisphere in years past.

“West Africa is now facing a situation analogous to the Caribbean in the 1980s, where small, developing, vulnerable countries along major drug-trafficking routes toward rich consumers are vastly under-resourced to deal with the wave of dirty money coming their way,” he said.

rofl. Something tells me they'll 'win' Drug War II, too.

If you're utterly oblivious, you should know that every nation in the world that Prohibits drugs (so like all of them) are controlled by powers that control the illicit drug trade.

Do you know how much US$1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion US$) is? It's unthinkable. No one can compete. In every nation, how can anyone compete up against this kind of money in politics? Of course, money makes money in ways you wouldn't believe. Because Power picks up everything on the cheap.

So that's just the revenue of the global annual illicit drug trade. But it's more trillions in reality. Who's going to fucking compete; and how? With campaign donations? Ron Paul? Hah. Political parties fight to be the managers of the territory, they don't own the corners.

What you're seeing here above is the US playing to take over control of Europe. You guys need to understand I'm fucking switched on. You cannot fault the logic but I implore you to try.

They're doing it with fucking drinking water. I kid you not. Google it. The Bush family is taking control of the supply of drinking water for the world. And you know what that means when the power of the US military industrial complex is at your disposal? National secrets and the CIA (largely oblivious I imagine to the real agenda but who knows really) operating without any possible way of even vetting their actions. Freedom of Information acts? Bah. You still don't know who killed JFK because they put a 50 year secrecy seal on it and then released all the info redacted.

They're just laughing at your faces now.

They're going to do with water what they did to the Supply of pain 'relief'. Take control of Supply. Destroy competitors.

They won't have to create the Demand this time.

Prepare to get thirsty. Prepare to scream.

Welcome to the realities of "national secrecy". Capitalism. Coercive monopolies. Power.

Eisenhower tried to warn you muppets. FDR tried to warn you muppets. Jefferson. Statesmen. Me, with a fractionally smaller profile. But do you listen?

You validate the institutions that exploit you. I'm going to fucking laugh when you scream. You won't be able to. Your throat will be too parched. They're going to use that to take control of oil. And then...? Dot to dot to dot. Connect the fucking dots on your imbecility.

Your stupid fears. Your inability to think even a few chess moves in advance. All you do is feel, and get offended, and a bus monitor named Karen Klein (too incompetent not to be hospitalised or imprisoned) cries at middle-schoolers' MEANIE words and gets $800,000 from a world that empathises with her. People calling for the kids to be killed, skull-fucked, tortured. Surreal. Mean words. Not sticks and stones. You're all emotionally insane.

I'm brilliant. But no one listens so I'm almost certainly safe. Not important enough to even care about DDoS'ing anymore. But I'm not wrong. Try and fault the logic.

You will scream. Prepare for pain.
