Next time you see a junkie sprawled at the curb in the downtown of your nearest city, or read about someone who died of a heroin overdose, just imagine a big yellow sign posted next to him or her saying: “Your Federal Tax Dollars at Work.”
Kudos to the New York Times, and to reporters Dexter Filkins, Mark Mazzetti and James Risen, for their lead article today reporting that Ahmed Wali Karzai, brother of Afghanistan’s stunningly corrupt President Hamid Karzai, a leading drug lord in the world’s major opium-producing nation, has for eight years been on the CIA payroll.
Seeing a lot of claims without a lot of proof being offered up......

I believe in one God, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages; Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not created, of one essence with the Father through Whom all things were made.
Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became man.
He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried;
And He rose on the third day, according to the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father;
And He will come again with glory to judge the living and dead. His kingdom shall have no end.
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Creator of life, Who proceeds from the Father, Who together with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, Who spoke through the prophets.
In one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
I look for the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the age to come.
Amen.

Anyway what happened was that in the 50's, 60's, and 70's black people in the inner cities had organized themselves to gain an equal stake in American society.
Now this establishment had no problem with blacks becoming equal to whites, as long as the status quo were otherwise unchanged, however...
By 1968 Martin Luther King was talking about American imperialism and economic inequalities which underlay American society, thus trying to make common cause with poor whites who had until then been kept in their place by encouraging racism.
In 1968 he was shot.
Into the 70's groups like the Black Panthers were pushing for social reform and were offering social services to the poor, black and white.
Then suddenly by the late 70's and the 80's the black communities that had organized in the 50's and 60's were destroyed by the drug epidemic. The authorities used the "drug war" to clamp down on dissent and black men became controlled by the criminal justice system.
In effect the emerging generation of leadership in the community was destroyed by the drug epidemic and the drug war.
An awfully convenient outcome from the point of view of the rich establishment types running the CIA....
