so small on any of those stories do checkouts uh websites. so he'll be weeks off. people globally abuse listed and turned into modus operandi out trafficky using drug trafficking due to this day is that they are now drug trafficking in the form of no, you want no highly way the ice and so forth. and they assume law enforcement is law enforcement. and they've often initiated all even orchestrating crime rings. they this, their own not policeman production place. we have to do with google air america, see a drug smuggling. and you, what you learn is that a america was a proxy, a line run by central intelligence for nothing more than traffic in drugs across south east asia. now what, what was that for, for support in the war in vietnam? that was it kind of

a said stop paying for that. what see i wanted to keep going. they funded it through traffic in drugs into the range range of americans and people. ringback all over the world, it was their choice, and there is no one that can argue against that choice. you know, one is the position of the one i'm talking to is the only for be able to do a damn thing about this. and i know that. so i guess i'm doing, i'm doing this for posterity because it's almost no, it's not funny. i would say it's almost your point. it's not a joke. i. i think that that agency really has gotten us in terrible trouble and god knows we're real estate going because there's nothing to stop to run this country. all right, more with michael levine when we return coming up next. if you thought americas pentagon budget was huge, the illegal drug trade is

a very close 2nd. next find out if drug trafficking is actually a tool of the ca, we'll discuss it when we return. so type m o will be right back the the at the end of the 18th century, britain began by illegal opium, afraid in china. this hard drugs causing addiction and literally destroying the human body became a gold mine for businessmen from the foggy l. b. a. however, the ruling chinese gene dynasty tried to resist and to stop the illegal trade,

which provoked the wrath of the london business community. in $1840.00 without a declaration of war, the english fleet began to seize and plunder chinese goes to board. the barley armed and for lead train chinese army was unable to provide adequate resistance. the jing empire was forced to hand hong kong over to england and open it sports for trading the legal goods. in 1856, branch of the united states joined in the robbery of china. the anglo french troops defeated the chinese occupied basie and committed an unprecedented robbery. destroyed and blundered the wealth of the un menu one palace. the defeat of the jing dynastee and the dew opium wars fled to the transformation of the so let's deal empire into a semi colony of your to be in state and started the age of humiliation. and the sale of opium took on collazo proportions and led to the horrible depths of

millions of ordinary chinese the, the, the, the welcome back to the m. o. i,

manila chan retired under cover d e. a agent mike levine is staying with us. now mike, today the former golden triangle is a major producer of math. the mexican drug. cartels are a major producer of other types, synthetic drugs like fentanyl. while it's true that you know, the u. s. has plenty of homegrown labs for synthetics. a lot of drugs make it into the us from abroad. the us is only 5 percent of the world's population, but it has over 20 percent of the world attics. the last several years, the u. s. is hovering at about a $100000.00 overdose debts per year. why are americans seemingly more addicted than other populations around the world? it's a complicated answer, but it's, it's one i can answer. i wrote a book called fight back to insight back. i researched the nations in societies and coaches that effectively one of the drug was huge, huge population of aeronautics,

for instance, in china before mount se so took over it most people who really have no knowledge and say, oh well, yeah, he told everybody what everybody was dealing at drugs, that wasn't the case at all. what he did was he recognized that this wasn't a problem of supply of drugs. as we tell our children. this is a supply of peer pressure. they believe what ever it was it got you into using when at the a well 40000000000 aeronautics when small states on took over on not com. i'm not a political guy in any way. so in that spouting communist, some of the audience may say he is just a fact where he made it a policy of the government for each neighborhood, for each community to be responsible for the addicts in that community. each

community was responsible for keeping them, getting them off drugs and keeping them off the truck. there were very few executions, but what they did was they recognized that by telling people that you are a victim of drugs that the, the availability of drugs makes you a drug addict, which is what we tell our children. you are assuring that they will go into they will it's not my fault. so. yeah, they don't feel like companies put it on the street. i had to take because it's on the street. what's the worst thing you can do every read all the research. i did said the very worst thing you can do is tell children that they can't resist. the availability of drugs is the reason they take drugs. that's just not so. you know, the reason they take drugs is pressure. the reason they take drugs is julia. the

reason they take drugs is something you'd have to find for each case, but has nothing to do with the availability of drugs. and the worst thing you can do is say the availability of drugs makes you an added. now my boat 5 back was, was ruled up was a judge by the swedish quantity institute as the only anti drug book ever to come out of america. it made any sense at all. so those of you with people with drug problems in your family, i urge you to get to book this for fight back, but by mike lou in my research is in there. and i think you should at least find it very interesting. but what you stop listening to is that the over like companies that somehow made your children victims of opiates or making them available. and again, that's the worst thing you can tell the child. is it a bug in the system that these overseas drug operations boomerang home to the us?

or is that a feature of the system for americans here at home, i was invited to speak at a international drug symposium in power supply. the french drum and one of the other speakers there was a michelle just as out ski, the ease was it, an advisor to the international monetary fund. he was a professor of economics at university of what we became friends. when did we become friends? when he, on the stage of this audience for $5600.00 experts and agents from all over the well, he said if america stop buying drugs because it could conceivably cost cause an international banking price. that's how the drug economy, as well as way into world economy. so your guess is as good as

mine, what is the, the, the implication of that? some of you guys listening who may be economic expert way because i'm not an economic expert. but those words with showing i think that very accurate, i think they're still accurate to this day. and what role do elicit and drugs play in the world of geo politics? and would you go as far as to say that drug trafficking is actually a tool of the c i a to achieve certain geo political goals? that's what i've been talking about to the list if out. that's exactly what it is. you political goal during vietnam was killed economies. yeah. how you do that? support the drug trafficking opposition to that cut to south america during event contrast to go with the c i a is get the left this out. if you read my book, the big white light, it's all about that. we were under cover deep cover. we had penetrated the biggest

drug carto on earth at that time. and this was secret. send it secret testimony before the senate and the for people to come out. but yes, those central intelligence tried to destroy the case. they wanted to get the lydia galer government. what was a left his government in bolivia, which was the chief supply of rock cocaine and well, then what did he get out of power because she was a less yes. well, she was helping d. e a. bring down the cartels. so they, for mentees to the agents a at the moment, the bloodiest revolution in bolivia, history, cocoa, they call it the cocoa revolution. and they, they show they, they had to re learned all the, all of the lydia deal with government. they were destroyed. they were out who took

over that government under the sea ice protection. was they called the cocaine government? we sassik home is he then took it over and it was administered. ok. it was a c i. yes it. now go back to afghanistan, and in the 1980s, russia spent a decade there at war. the us only recently wrapped up it's 20 year campaign. they're both countries point 2 asked in opium as the cause for rise and white addiction. specifically right now on the rise in russia, turkey and iran, according to a 2009 statement from tim jones, the da's ashtray at the us embassy in moscow at the time. mister jones said this quote to unless we work together and attack this problem as a joint effort, we're not going to be able to make the difference that we need to make. now that the us is in effect, locked in a new proxy war with russia, some even say a cold war. what does that mean for the world of drug trafficking?

opium, since afghanistan does produce over 90 percent of the world. opium is just words that they have to produce to fulfill the bureaucratic jobs. means that the operation burns a furnace in olivia was exactly that you, when you, when it burned out the, the coco, we just burned it out. well, it was a success in the living and people site, sorry, we had it back out. that's a, that's a fact. it was such a sham this year. we had, i wrote about it and fight back. we, we won. we won. why didn't we keep doing it? now because the fact the fact of the matter is too many people make a living, living for crowns raping people, make a living off of this. so what do you want to do? what's the point?

some political purpose of making them stop? you know, it is, this is tough question, but the questions about reality is what it is. fact is we can't do that stuff. when we did uh, back in 1971, i think it was 72. we put the turkish opium farm is out of this a week. we got them in to the president nick president nixon. it's time i had to deal with them that stopped them from glowing the the poppy leaves and the conception of there was a prime source error on that. immediately there was a panic and he with immediately what happens is have a one sided coming in from other countries. mexico became a prime of 5 supplier heroines brought down who it was so few fennel, interesting seeking. you figure that i just stopped the ocean, you know is this is bizarre and yeah,

we spend billions going just that sticking thing isn't bikes? just so we could say, look what we do a look. you know, this is what we're spending billions of dollars. of course, a lot of it going to us your address in salaries, but i'll give you all the words you want to know. and that's what tim and these are, like i said, doing that this, the job. there's no credit. you know, i was, i was a country attache. i had to make statements. no, i don't know tim is d e a and i believe he's a, a country at a shape or a official signed to the country. so i know the job. i know. i know what it is to bureau credit your yeah. michael levine, retired d e a. an author check out his books at michael levine. books dot com. thank you so much, sir. to say thank you. it's really been my pleasure. that is good. i do it for this week's episode. i'm modus operandi the show that dig deep

authoration aerodynamic began shortly after world war 2? lost it almost 3 decades. it was an a major effort to try and split the ukraine off from the soviet union. us intelligence together with hitler's executioners drain, hundreds of 7 to us to be deployed in the soviet union. this focused on the use of a lot of upside, even display jewelry store on this one, the on site or she needs more deals today. security service of ukraine use is not in need of assistance dig methods, but also the idea elegy of the nationalist and the the when someone tells you who they are,
