This is a 10 minute video documentary titled, "Ring of Power" part 8. This is a MUST SEE video series! Part 8 describes the history the United States, the elitist and the banksters have regarding the opium herion crisis and their involvement/connection with the Taliban!!! The following are a few excerpts from a recent article written February 5, 2008 by Reuters regarding this very issue!
KABUL (Reuters) - Afghanistan, the world's biggest opium producer, is set for another bumper crop in 2008, providing a windfall for the Taliban who tax farmers to finance their fight against government and foreign forces, the UN said on Wednesday.
More than six years after U.S.-led and Afghan forces toppled the Taliban, the failure to bring spiraling opium production under control means Afghanistan is now locked in a vicious circle -- where drug money fuels the Taliban insurgency and official corruption, weakening government control over large parts of the country, which in turn allows more opium to be produced.
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) predicted the 2008 opium crop would be similar to, or slightly lower than, last year's record harvest. In 2007, Afghanistan had more land growing drugs than Colombia, Bolivia and Peru combined.
