Go back to bed, America

In light of the information last week involving the CIA working with Hamid Karzai’s brother, Ahmed Wali Karzai, for the last several years, and that he may be intricately involved with the Afghanistan opium trade, I thought a few words were necessary.

In the last year, we’ve heard of conspiracies involving our President being Kenyan, about the health care reform bill being a secret attack on freedom and various Nazi-esque plans involving our freedom, guns and taxes.

There isn’t time, or reason enough, to sit here and attempt to pop these little bubbles of delusion that some people have. So I will instead focus on the side issue of these “conspiracies.”

Three talking head demagogues on TV make up patently false stories every week, and millions of Americans buy them hook, line and sinker.

Meanwhile, conspiracies that actually merit interest are passed over and neglected.
Example: John F. Kennedy passes Executive Order 11110 in June 1963, effectively stopping the Fed’s ability to make money and four months later – well, you know, some lone gunmen or something.

Nov. 22, 1963: The two Secret Service men responsible to be JFK’s human shields and ride on the back of his limousine are called off, and that’s just a coincidence.
There is documented evidence that the CIA was involved in the southeastern Asian drug trade in the 1960s when heroin addiction rates for U.S. military in South Vietnam were astronomical.

There is myriad evidence that the CIA worked with the Contras to distribute Colombian drugs to the United States in the 1980s, as investigated by the Kerry Committee.
And now, there is evidence the CIA is working with Ahmed Karzai, a man suspected of working with the Afghanistan drug trade.

Three of the largest sources of illegal narcotics on earth are known as the Golden Crescent (Afghanistan), the Golden Triangle (Southeast Asia) and the northern area of parts of South America. We now have had major wars in two of the three areas in less than 40 years, and the third has been the source of U.S.-funded Contras in the ’80s.

And for some reason, you probably won’t hear during his “War Stories,” Oliver North mention that he is banned from Costa Rica for drug smuggling, or that the Kerry committee also found evidence, in his own notes, that he was smuggling drugs.

When Barry Seal, former CIA agent who worked with Porter Goss and many of the other major players of the 1960s U.S.-Caribbean CIA operations, was shot dead by hit men after admitting he had been running drugs from Colombia to the United States for years in a CIA plane, Vice President George H.W. Bush’s personal office phone number was found in his car.

But this is all silly stuff. Aliens, Area 51, crazy X files stuff. What a hilarious farce these stories are. Everybody knows the CIA is on the up and up.

If these allegations were true, surely the media would cover it, right? That’s why they cover Obama conspiracies, because they are all true, right? Right?
