• The Taliban practically eradicated the opium crops by 2001 because they feel it is immoral and against their Muslim religion! What they didn’t realize was that the global drugs trade is owned/controlled by the 13 Satanic bloodlines who rule the west! It is nonsensical to suggest that the Taliban is allowing the regrowing of opium crops to finance their operations. This is propaganda! It is the Satanic cabal which rules US and NATO countries which has restarted opium crops in Afghanistan. American soldiers are simply easily deceived useful idiots supporting the evil machinations of their rulers!

• Are American Troops Protecting Afghan Opium? 
  by Washington’s Blog, http://www.globalresearch.ca/ 
  As many have noted, the U.S. government has – at least at some times in some parts of the world – protected drug operations. (Big American banks also launder money for drug cartels. See this, this, this and this. Indeed, drug dealers kept the banking system afloat during the depths of the 2008 financial crisis. But that’s beyond the scope of this post.)

  The U.S. military has openly said that it is protecting Afghani poppy fields: (see video top of post)

  As Wikiepedia notes:
  –
  Opium production in Afghanistan has been on the rise since U.S. occupation started in 2001.
  –
  Public Intelligence has published a series of photographs showing American – and U.S.-trained Afghan – troops patrolling poppy fields in Afghanistan. Public Intelligence informs us that all of the photos are in the public domain, and not subject to copyright, and they assured me that I have every right to reproduce them.

  We produce these photos and the accompanying descriptions from Public Intelligence without further comment.
