U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents laundered millions in cash for a powerful Mexican drug trafficker and his Colombian cocaine supplier, according to documents made public Monday.
Money laundering is a favored tactic of the DEA. The illicit activity – specifically sanctioned as Attorney General Exempt Operations – often violates Mexican sovereignty, facilitates additional criminal activity on the part of the drug cartels, and may be counterproductive, especially in the shadow of the failed gun-running operation Fast and Furious.
TVNL Comment: The US drug was has never been anything more than a way to control the drug trade. The CIA was exposed supplying drugs to US drug dealers in the 1970s. The Iran Contra crimed included drug sales. Drug money is used by US agencied and the real government (those who control those agencies outside of our Constitutional government), for black ops and to fund things that can not be linked to official US government sources. Things like assasinations, events like 9/11, and general crimes by the real government have to get funded and drugs are their number one way of getting money. This is why pot will never be legal, it will take away a huge chunk of their revenue.
