The Kosovo/Albania Golden Triangle

December 22, 2010 — Dean Henderson

(Excerpted from Chapter 15: Yugoslavia Bad, Greater Albania Good: Big Oil & Their Bankers in the Persian Gulf…)

According to the Wall Street Journal, human rights investigators in Europe are looking into allegations that members of the US and NATO-backed Kosovo Liberation Army killed Serb prisoners-of-war at secret detention centers in Albania to harvest and sell their organs. The charge first surfaced in a 2008 book written by former war-crimes prosecutor Carla Del Ponte. In a follow-up draft report for the Council of Europe, Swiss prosecutor Dick Marty further claims that Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci has links to organized crime.

Kosovo was carved out of the former Yugoslavia during the late 1990’s. Yugoslavia, like Iraq, had long defied the Illuminati banksters. Its economy, like Iraq’s, had tilted toward socialism ever since Marshall Tito routed the Nazi Utashe during WWII. Yugoslavia succeeded India as Chair of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM)- a large group of nations traditionally led by India who chose not to align themselves with either the US or the Soviets during the Cold War.

Yugoslavia was the only East European nation that was never a member of the Warsaw Pact. It became a respected leader of the G-77 group of developing nations, which tried to divert OPEC/Four Horsemen oil revenues away from the international banker cartel and into Third World development. Yugoslavia was an important supplier of inexpensive machinery to Third World factories and peasant-owned farms. Where once these countries were forced to buy expensive equipment from the West, using up-valued hard currency and sinking further into debt, they now turned to newly industrialized Yugoslavia, which was often willing to trade machinery for commodities.

The international banksters despise NAM because its members tend to be left-of-center nationalists who guard their resources from Big Oil and other Money Power corporate tentacles. NAM was a thorn in the side of the CFR/Bilderberger crowd, who portrayed all Third World revolutionary struggles against their financial hegemony as Soviet-backed Communist threats, playing the “Red Menace” card to justify their bloody wars of depopulation.

Other Third World countries took note of the Yugoslav example, despite Illuminati propaganda that “socialism is dead”. As Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, who was served up as demon by the globalization crowd, pointed out, “…the remaining socialist government threatening capitalist control of Europe provides living proof that history has not ended, that more than one economic system was possible.”

Yugoslavia’s natural resources were vast. The Four Horsemen discovered huge deposits of oil beneath the Adriatic Sea. Oil industry insiders believe the fields could rival those lying beneath Saudi Arabia. Yugoslavia contains seventeen billion tons of coal and vast mineral wealth, including the huge Stari Trg mining complex- the first facility Hitler’s Nazi Reichstag seized when they invaded Yugoslavia in 1941. Hitler mined lead at Stari Trg to supply batteries for his U-Boats. But Stari Trg also contains gold, silver, cadmium, zinc and platinum worth at least $5 billion.

The Yugoslav land mass figures into an overland pipeline route connecting Four Horsemen Caspian Sea oilfields to mainland Europe. It sits astride a major highway connecting Europe to Central Asia and the strategic Danube River flows through the center of the nation. In the eyes of the international oligarchy, ripe Yugoslavia demanded harvest.

Western intelligence agencies, using Islamic fundamentalist fighters, first partitioned Bosnia and Croatia. But Yugoslavia still controlled Stari Trg, massive coal reserves and the coveted Adriatic oilfields. Seizing these assets would require the severing of one more chunk of territory from the unruly Belgrade central government.

In 1996 the German Federal Intelligence Service (BND) began training the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). The Bundesnachrichtendienst had been launched in 1956 to succeed the Nazi Gehlen organization. The idea of a Greater Albania was a vision of the Nazis during their WWII occupation of Yugoslavia. That vision was now shared by NATO. BND was headed by Hasjorg Geiger, who set up a huge BND regional station in Tirana, Albania in 1995. The CIA set up a large operation in Tirana a year earlier. President Sali Berisha had taken charge of the country of Albania earlier in the 1990’s. Darling of the IMF, he opened Albania’s economy to Western multinationals and banks and was rewarded with a huge IMF loan package.

In 1994, the same year the CIA landed in Tirana, a bank pyramid scheme over which Berisha presided with his new IMF kitty, suddenly collapsed, obliterating the life savings of thousands of Albanians. The scheme fit into a pattern of earlier IMF/BCCI coordinated rip-offs of Third World debtor nations. Berisha was ousted from Tirana, but fled to northern Albania and took control of this increasingly lawless region, which became a major smuggling route for Golden Crescent heroin and arms.

With help from the Albanian secret police (SHIK), CIA and BND recruited potential KLA fighters from the ranks of these smugglers, many of whom the CIA had helped get into the smack business in Peshawar, Pakistan a decade earlier. German Kommandos Spezialkrafte (KSS) wearing black uniforms trained the KLA and armed them with East German weapons. In neighboring Kosovo there were many reports of men wearing black uniforms terrorizing Kosovar peasants. While the US claimed these were Yugoslav Special Forces, they were likely members of the German KSS who were leading KLA raids inside Kosovo.

The KLA took to wearing Bundeshehr combat jackets with German insignia. Germany was the first country to recognize Croatia in 1990, even before Croatian separatists had begun their revolt against Belgrade. The Germans spearheaded the campaign that encouraged Croatia to secede from Yugoslavia. When the new government was established in Zagreb, it adopted the flag and national anthem of Hitler’s puppet Utashe. In 1998 the KLA had been a small terrorist cell with only 300 members. After a year of steady arms shipments and training from the US, Britain and Germany; the KLA became a major guerrilla army with 30,000 members. Osama bin Laden senior lieutenant Ayman al-Zawahiri served as a KLA commander.

KLA provocations served as the pretext for NATO aggression against Yugoslavia and for the partition of mineral and oil-rich Kosovo. Yugoslav security forces battled KLA terrorism while also clamping down on incidents of excessive Serb retaliation, arresting more than 500 Serbs for crimes against Albanian civilians. President Milosevic had always advocated ethnic equality and harmony. His delegation to the Rambouillet peace talks in France consisted of people from every ethnic group in Yugoslavia, including Albanians. Serbs were actually a minority in the delegation.

A 1992 speech was typical of Milosevic’s thinking on ethnic tensions in Kosovo, which Western intelligence agencies had historically exploited. He stated, “We know that there are many Albanians in Kosovo who do not approve of the separatist policy of their nationalist leaders. They are under pressure, intimidated and blackmailed. But we shall not respond with the like. We must respond by offering our hand, living with them in equality and not permitting that a single Albanian child, woman or man be discriminated against in Kosovo in any way. We must…insist on a policy of brotherhood, unity and ethnic equality in Kosovo. We shall persevere on this policy.”

When Milosevic, an articulate lawyer, began winning his case alleging war crimes in The Hague, media coverage ceased and he was soon dead. His supporters say he was poisoned.

By the end of its Yugoslav bombing campaign, NATO had moved into Kosovo as an occupation force under the auspices of KFOR. NATO continued to turn a blind eye to renegade KLA bands who attacked Serb civilians under KFOR watch, while aiding and abetting NLA rebels now attempting to lop off a piece of Macedonia for the international banker cause. The US built its biggest military base since Vietnam in Kosovo.

Meanwhile Albania was being turned into a CIA terrorist training camp, heroin production center and arms supermarket. A March 6, 1995 report from the Greek Athens News Agency quoted Greek Public Order Minister Sifis Valyrakis as saying that he believed the government of Albania was involved in the production and trafficking of narcotics from Skopje, Macedonia, where US and NATO troops massed during the war in Kosovo.

Valyrakis said opium was being grown in the Chimarra area of southern Albania where heroin labs had sprung up in a triangle area formed by the cities of Gevgeli, Prilep and Pristina in the countries of Albania, Macedonia and breakaway Kosovo. He cited involvement in the heroin traffic of the US-allied Macedonian military and the Turkish Gray Wolves mafia- long a CIA ally. He noted a flourishing arms trade developing in Macedonia and Kosovo and said Albanian separatists in Yugoslavia were at the center of both heroin and arms rings, which were being based out of Pristina, home to the NATO KFOR “peacekeeping” effort in Kosovo.

According to historian Alfred McCoy, “Albanian exiles used drug profits to ship Czech and Swiss arms back to Kosovo for the separatist guerrillas of the KLA. In 1997-1998, these Kosovar drug syndicates armed the KLA for a revolt against Belgrade’s army… Even after the 1999 Kumanovo agreement settled the Kosovo conflict, the UN administration of the province… allowed thriving heroin traffic… Commanders of the KLA… continued to dominate the transit traffic through the Balkans.”

A report filed with Reuters on June 16, 1995 by Benet Koleka from Tirana charged the Albanian government with secretly dumping tons of weaponry into Rwanda prior to the genocide that occurred in that central African country. Albania’s largest daily Koha Jone reported that several Antonov 122 cargo planes left Gjadri Airbase in Albania loaded with arms bound for Rwanda. Amnesty International interviewed four of the pilots who flew the Antonovs. All claimed they were working for a British company.

They said they flew the weapons to the Democratic Republic of Congo and unloaded them at Goma airport near the Rwandan border. They said they also flew loads of weapons to Goma from Israel and that there were Israeli Mossad agents working at Gjadri Airbase who supervised the Albanian operation. That same year a spooky US defense contractor known as RONCO was in Rwanda under the pretext of de-mining. Ronco was actually importing military hardware for the Pentagon and passing it out to Rwandan forces just before the Rwandan depopulation began.

The Washington Times reported in 1999, “The Kosovo Liberation Army, which the Clinton Administration has embraced and some members of Congress want to arm as part of a NATO bombing campaign, is a terrorist organization that has financed much of its war effort with profits from the sale of heroin”.

In 1999 a Times of London expose found that the KLA was the world’s main supplier of heroin, inheriting that claim from the last CIA surrogates – the Afghan mujahadeen. Europol joined the governments of Sweden, Switzerland and Germany in investigating KLA ties to the heroin trade. Walter Kege, head of the drug enforcement unit of Swedish police intelligence stated, “We have intelligence leading us to believe that there is a connection between drug money and the Kosovo Liberation Army.” Germany’s Berliner Zeitung quoted a Western intelligence report which stated that 900 million Deutsch marks had flowed into Kosovo since the KLA began attacking the Yugoslav government in 1997. Half was derived from drug proceeds.

German police noted a parallel between the rise of the KLA and an increase in ethnic Albanian heroin trafficking in Germany, Switzerland and the Scandinavian countries. Police in Czechoslovakia tracked down an Albanian who escaped a Norwegian prison where he was serving 12 years for heroin trafficking. In his apartment they found documents linking him to several arms purchases made on behalf of the KLA.

Germany’s Federal Criminal Agency concluded, “Ethnic Albanians are now the most prominent group in the distribution of heroin in Western consumer countries.” Europol submitted a detailed report on KLA/Albanian heroin trafficking for the World Court in The Hague. Many KLA fighters had been trained at the same heroin-infested Osama bin Laden-built camps in Pakistan from which the Afghan Taliban emerged.

In 1997 Chechen warlords trained at those same camps began buying large chunks of real estate in Kosovo. Saudi-born Chechen rebel leader Emir al-Khattab set up camps in Chechnya to train KLA troops. Both endeavors were financed through heroin sales, prostitution rings, arms dealing and counterfeiting. After the KLA was unable to take Kosovo from what remained of Yugoslavia on their own, the Illuminati propaganda machine once again ratcheted up the pressure, accusing the Serb majority of conducting another “ethnic cleansing” campaign, this time against the Kosovo Albanian heroin mafia. Again the media parroted the CIA campaign to demonize the Serbs.

Hitler had done the same thing when he invaded Yugoslavia, calling the Serbs untermenschen (less than human).

On March 24, 1999 US bombs rained down on Belgrade. Milosevic was stalked by Armenian contract killers hired by CIA. Schools, factories, hospitals, power plants, buses, trains and hay carts loaded with civilians were bombed. The economic infrastructure of Yugoslavia was decimated. In a moment of historical irony NATO bombed the same Novi Sad Bridge over the Danube River where thousands of Serbs had died fighting during the Nazi invasion of 1941.

Protestors in Belgrade took to calling NATO the Nazi American Terrorist Organization.

All told 2,000 Yugoslav civilians were killed by the NATO bombings and 10,000 more injured. Thousands more lost their homes and apartments, which were deliberately targeted by NATO bombs in an attempt to convince the Yugoslav people to cry “uncle”. At Stari Trg mine Director Novak Bjelic, who worked for the Yugoslav state-owned Trepca, said when the US bombing began, “The war in Kosovo is all about the mines, nothing else. In addition, Kosovo has seventeen billion tons of coal reserves”.

One of the most publicized “massacres” purportedly carried out by the Yugoslav Army against Kosovo Albanians occurred at Racak. A group called Kosovo International Monitors spearheaded the hype. Its leader was William Walker, who earlier helped Oliver North’s Enterprise arm the contras. While Walker spewed his version of the events at Racak to an eager US media, many European media outlets including the BBC, the German Die Welt, Radio France International and the French Le Figaro, began to question Walker’s account, which of course blamed the Serbs.

When the alleged massacre occurred a French TV crew in Racak said the “massacre” had actually been a firefight between the Yugoslav Army and KLA ambushers. Later men in black uniforms came to the scene and redressed the KLA dead in civilian clothing. Yugoslav forensics experts agreed that the Racak Massacre was a hoax. It bore striking similarities to the Breadline Massacre in Bosnia, where it was later found that Islamist fighters had stage-managed a massacre for the Western media. The incident led to UN sanctions against Yugoslavia. The French newspaper Le Monde reported from Pristina on January 21, 1999 that two AP journalists had contradicted Walker’s account of the events at Racak. They said there were few empty rifle cartridges at the site and hardly any blood near the bodies.

The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe sent in a team of Finnish pathologists at the request of the Yugoslav government, which also invited a second team from Belarus. Both teams confirmed Yugoslav suspicions that the victims had died from long-range gunshots, with short-range bullet holes and knife wounds inflicted on the already dead bodies. They also found that bullet holes didn’t match up with tears in the clothing on the bodies, indicating that the clothes had been changed by those black uniformed men- probably the same KSS German Special Forces who trained the KLA.

Neither report was ever published in the US media. The incident was reminiscent of a maneuver that Adolf Hitler used in 1939 to justify his march into Poland. Hitler dressed dead prisoners in Polish Army uniforms and left them near a border radio station, which Hitler then claimed was attacked by the Polish Army. Within a week 1.5 million Nazi troops marched into Poland.
BBC News reported in December 2004 that a $1.2 billion oil pipeline, south of that massive US Army base in Kosovo, was approved by the governments of Albania, Bulgaria and Macedonia.

Apparently unfazed by gruesome allegations of organ trafficking by the Illuminati-manufactured KLA mafia, a western diplomat based in Pristina told the Wall Street Journal last week, “This could damage Kosovo’s image among international stakeholders”.

The Kosovo/Albania Golden Triangle « LEFT HOOK by Dean Henderson

About that big NATO success in Bosnia ... Christians now fleeing Islam, organized crime, radical groups

Read about Christian martyrs through history, in the updated "Foxe's Book of Martyrs." Bosnia's embattled Christians are leaving the country, and their exodus is being blamed on the Muslim majority and the increasing influence of Islamic law. BosNewsLife reports Christians are fleeing to escape discrimination and the Islamization of their home country. Atlas Shrugs publisher and Islam analyst Pamela Geller says the problem is simple: Bosnia is rapidly becoming an Islamic state. "What is going on there is the creation of a Shariah state and a base for the jihadists in Europe," Geller said. "Persecution of Christians is escalating, and the Islamic supremacists are crowding out the cultural Muslims," Geller said. "Sarajevo used to be one of the most diverse cities in Europe. Now it's almost entirely Muslim." The Heritage Foundation's Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies Analyst Steve Bucci says he's not so sure the reports of widespread persecution are accurate. "The Bosnians were nominal Muslims, but some foreign Islamists settled there. Even so, the Bosnian government did a good job of corralling them," Bucci said. Read about Christian martyrs through history, in the updated "Foxe's Book of Martyrs. "They weren't invited into the fight. When I was on the ground over there in 2000-2001, there were no jihadists in power," Bucci said. "If this has happened, it's only been in the last two to three years." But Adriatic Institute for Public Policy Co-Founder Joel Anand Samy says "not so." He believes the threat the anti-Christian climate has been developing for years. "There is a prevailing tide of discrimination toward Bosnian Croatian Catholics. Most disconcerting is that individuals' properties have not been returned – specifically those belonging to Bosnian Catholics," Samy said. Yet, the situation is deeper than just surface-level prejudices. Samy says a disregard for religious freedom is only the first of many issues. "Discarding individual liberty, undermining freedom of speech and subverting religious liberty are serious issues which must be addressed from within and also through principled external pressures," Samy said. Samy said the underlying issues are corruption and even human trafficking. "There are also underlying problems including rampant corruption, the perilous Balkan Route trafficking humans (mainly children and women), illicit drugs and weapons," Samy said. He said there are the serious concerns about the rise of radical Islam in Bosnia. "Moreover, entities and corrupt politicians and their cronies within Bosnia Herzegovina are actively blocking reforms in the country through their illicit enrichment gained from confiscating private properties and channeling proceeds through the West's financial institutions in the region," he said. Samy also pointed to corruption in the financial sector. Read about Christian martyrs through history, in the updated "Foxe's Book of Martyrs. "Organized crime and radical Islamic groups ... flourish in Bosnia and the Balkan region." He cited Austria's Hypo Alpe Adria Bank scandal, in which more than 8 billion euros are unaccounted for in the Balkan region, as an example. Austrian taxpayers have been forced to pick up the tab. Samy noted the scandal has not been fully investigated by authorities in Europe. "Herein, lies the greater challenge of Western financial institutions," Samy said. "It is vital for the authorities in Sarajevo and Banja Luka to establish the rule of law, protect private property, [restore] confiscated property and firmly support human rights - individual liberty." He pointed out that 17 years after the signing of the Dayton Peace accords, "citizens of Bosnia-Herzegovina live in a divided nation which does not have an independent judiciary and lacks dependable democratic institutions." The economy is still in shambles, with high unemployment, especially among the youth. He suggested the backlogged cases in the court system "can be easily resolved through visiting judges from strong rule-of-law nations working with honest local judicial experts focusing on property rights cases." He said the country's condition shouldn't be a surprise, as Catholic and European authorities have been making the issues known. Cardinal Vinko Puljic, for example, has communicated to Herman Achille Van Rompuy, president of the European Council, that the Catholic Church's properties in Bosnia were confiscated under communism. "Even after the recent Balkan war, the lands and properties have not been returned," Samy said. The West has known about these issues, Samy said, but "there is a void of principled leadership to address this growing problems." He asserted the West "can no longer ignore these fundamental issues which marginalize one group and relegate them to poverty due to employment discrimination and not returning their private properties." Geller said that while the U. S. nobly has attempted to help the Bosnians, its military intervention set the stage for Muslim advancement. "We certainly made things worse for the Christians. Clinton didn't understand Islam or jihad any more than mainstream politicians do now," Geller said. Bucci disagrees and says the Bosnians and others were helped greatly by the U. S. intervention. "There's been no widespread raping and pillaging for 20 years," Bucci said. "The kids are in school and the battling factions were actually separated." "We put people in three zones. The Serbs were in the north; the Croats in the south. The Bosnians were in the center," Bucci said. He said the Catholic Christians were in the best shape when the U. S. ended its campaign. "The Catholic area was by far the most prosperous. I'm not aware of any outright persecution. That would be surprising," Bucci said. Yet, Samy said the persecution is happening, and he believes the flow of Catholics from the region will continue. "The factors I've listed will lead to a further exodus of Bosnian Croat Catholics from their homeland," Samy said. "For a region which experienced brutal ethnic extermination and now [is] experiencing economic turmoil and significant judicial problems, the targeted discrimination faced by Bosnia's Catholics amounts to a return to a sophisticated form of cleansing – removing a people from their place of birth for their faith and ethnic identity," he said.

These harsh words by young Kamal Saleem's father are emblematic of both his own tough childhood and the persistent barbaric undercurrents in Muslim culture. After turning to the PLO for the support he could not get elsewhere, at the age of 7, he began training in a PLO assault camp. The terrorist group trained him to know his enemy, to hate his enemy, and to anticipate their every move. His singular purpose was to use his power to change the world for Islam. Soon he was a career mercenary, working for the cause of Jihad. He traveled from Palestine to Europe and finally to the U.S., where he began recruiting and training Muslim "sleeper" agents for the ultimate goal of "bringing America down from within." But a severe accident broke his back and changed everything in an instant. The one thing that this warrior was not prepared for was the power of the love of a Jewish man - the Lord Jesus Christ. In the Red Chair is stark in its simplicity but incredibly deep in matters of the soul. For the sake of authenticity, many violent details of Kamal's story were left unedited. Viewer discretion is advised. You won't believe where Christians in the Middle East are most threatened – Iraq! Find out why in "Facing Extinction: Assyrian Christians in Iraq." Each day thousands of Aramaic-speaking Assyrians (the language of Christ) are enduring unjust persecution because of their Christian Faith. The crew traveled into threatened Christian communities to film the stories in this program. Included is actual footage, filmed by the terrorists themselves, performing acts of violence against innocent Assyrians. The Iraqi government shows no interest in protecting the Christians, the Pentagon is ignoring the situation, and the United States State Department has no mandate allowing Assyrian Christians to immigrate to America. These conditions are the making of another twenty-first century holocaust involving hundreds of thousands of Christians. The future of Assyrian Christians in Iraq rests with us all. Narrated by Jim Caviezel (The Passion of the Christ). Commentary by United Stat es Sen. Carl Levin, Rep. Anna Eshoo, and Rep. Frank Wolf. A new video about the martyrdom of three Christian workers at the hands of Islamic activists in Turkey reveals that while the government's case against the alleged killers continues in turmoil and confusion, the Christian community in the Muslim nation views the tragedy as the will of God. "Malatya," available now as the April 18 fourth anniversary of the deaths approaches, is from Austin Stone Community Church, Voice of the Martyrs and Family Christian Movies. It tells the story of the martyrdom of Necati Aydin, Tilman Geske and Ugur Yuksel. The three, who were working at a Christian publishing house, had agreed to meet with several young Muslim men who expressed interest in the Bible. Authorities have reported the Muslims first demanded that one of the Christians convert to Islam. When he refused, they pulled knives and tied up, tortured and stabbed the Christians for several hours before their throats were slit. WND has reported on the case since the widow of one of the slain Christians created a tidal wave of reaction in Turkey by expressing forgiveness for the attackers. The dramatic video story is available for only $4.95 from the WND Superstore. Then there's the classic "Foxe's Book of Martyrs" updated for the 21st century. You can get it in a beautiful faux leather version for your library, or a more economic paperback edition. For nearly 2,000 years, courageous men and women have been tortured and killed because of their confessions of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. But martyrdom is not a thing of the past; every day the Christian church is persecuted in countries all over the world. The affliction of Christians was actually more prevalent in the 1900s than in all the past centuries combined. You will get a poignant illustration of these recent martyrs in this book. In add ition to the age-old stories of Christian heroes, this updated edition of Foxe's Book of Martyrs contains stories of persecution up to 2001. John Foxe began his memorial of martyrs in 1563. He began with Stephen, the first to die for the cause of Christ, and ended with the most recent martyrs of his day; those killed during the reign of Bloody Mary. Foxe was motivated to write by the fear of forgetting or becoming insensitive to the struggles of the martyrs. He knew that Christians must not overlook the persecution of their brothers and sisters in Christ. For if the Church is not reminded of the cost of following Christ, its very foundations will crumble. The courage, faith, and love of the martyrs will touch your life. For nearly two-thousand years, courageous men and women have been tortured and killed because of their confessions of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Th is updated version includes reports on modern martyrs of the 20th and 21st century, a full color timeline of selected events and people for historical reference, and has been carefully edited into Modern American English for today's reader "First Comes Saturday, Then Comes Sunday" is the award-winning documentary by Pierre Rehov, a French filmmaker known for going where the action is – especially in the dangerous Middle East. Why has there been a great-and-little-reported Christian exodus from the Middle East, with some 2 million fleeing in the past 20 years alone? This Christian exodus is a result of many factors, including the fighting between Israelis and Palestinians, the related decline of the economy, but perhaps most significantly, the religious persecution these Christians encounter from their Muslim neighbors. "First Comes Saturday, Then Comes Sunday" is a well known sentence in the Middle East meaning : "First we take care of the Jews (who pray on Saturday) then we will take care of Christians," the "Sunday people."

One thing that has always bothered me about Afghanistan is that the poppy fields were left as the "main crop" of the farmers instead of being destroyed and teaching the farmers a new crop. Some reports (Geraldo Rivera) reported that our troops were tasked with guarding the opium fields that produce the money that finances the terrorists and drug cartels.
