CIA Drug Trafficking


This article is about what I read recently in a report about a C.I.A. aeroplane crashing in Mexico and the rescue team finding four tonnes of cocaine on board.

Just to give an overview of the situation I will give a bit of background on cocaine, including prices and quantities to give an idea of the severity of the abuse of trust and ultimately, crime.

A kilogram of pure, un-cut cocaine is believed to cost in the region of £50,000. That’s just over 35 ounces which gives each ounce a bulk price of just over £1,400, however studies show that an ounce of pure cocaine on its own (not as a bulk deal) retails at around £1,700.
It is estimated that the average purity of cocaine on the streets of the UK is near 10%, that’s a ratio of 9:1. Therefore one ounce that costs £1,700 will then become 10 ounces that work out at only £170 each. This diluted form of cocaine is then weight out into small portions for sale to ‘consumers’. Usually somewhere around the half gram mark and between £20 and £30 depending on location in the UK.

At this price, the four tonnes found on board the US Government aircraft has a value of between £160,000,000 (at £20 for half a gram) or £240,000,000 (at £30 for half a gram). This plane is owned, maintained and operated by the very people who make statements such as ‘we will stop the ‘cartels’ that are responsible for drug trafficking’ and ‘we are working towards minimizing drug abuse in the USA’. HA FUCKING HA!
Am I wrong in thinking this is not the first time this kind of thing has been uncovered? I’m pretty sure we’ve all seen at least one of the many films about this kind of activity throughout the Vietnam War. But then again… “you don’t know man, you weren’t there”.

Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, a leader of a group that fought alongside the Americans in Afghanistan stated;
“In most cases, the CIA's role involved various forms of complicity, tolerance or studied ignorance about the trade, not any direct culpability in the actual trafficking ... the CIA did not handle heroin, but it did provide its drug lord allies with transport, arms, and political protection. In sum, the CIA's role in the Southeast Asian heroin trade involved indirect complicity rather than direct culpability."

So not only is it very well documented that the CIA involved themselves with drug trafficking during the Vietnam War, and not only have they now been foiled trafficking extremely large quantities of cocaine as well as another 5.5 ton haul by Mexican police in 2006 and another 3.2 ton haul in Yucatan but it emerges that they are also at very least ‘accused’ of similar in Afghanistan?
Is this the reason the worldwide embarrassment of what is going on in Afghanistan is taking place to this day?
In this world of what seems to be ‘legal – illegal activity’ is it correct that so many soldiers risks their lives on a daily basis for shit money while being exploited by men in suits miles and miles away who are making literally hundreds of millions from one plane journey?

Please share this article if you see the sense in what I’ve said. You may also want to search ‘CIA drug trafficking’ in a search engine and find countless more cases of the same crime while there appears to be no justice? I certainly have not heard of any CIA agents or government officials being jailed for their crimes…
*All figures where gathered from various websites.

Body Image

After many conversations on this subject I decided to write about it. The views I am writing are mine and possibly the opinions of people I have spoken to about the subject, I am based in the UK so societies views may differ wherever you are. (I know my blog is read in the US and Australia more than the UK)

With the media using tools such as those ‘who has the best beach bod’ articles in magazines and the scantily dressed dancers in music videos to make us feel inadequate we’ve got no chance of enjoying ourselves! Think about everything the girls are watching on TV now, The fucking Hills, 9021 fucking 0, The fucking Kardashians and the fucking music channels. Not only are they all a mass of mind numbing dribble, but they’re promoting what I call ‘Californication’… Nobody is supposed to have the perfect body, perfect smile, perfect hair 24 hours a day and the biggest tits on the beach!
I think it is quite dangerous to have celebrity lifestyles rammed down our throats in the manner it is and I find it shocking how many people actively seek information about what these shallow ass hats are up to!
For instance;



















If you think this is how you’re going to look after childbirth, girls, THINK AGAIN! This is just another example of the media showing you how perfect everything is for Beyonce and her pals while you lay in a bed covered in blood and shit with blotchy skin, out of breath forcing a Big Mac down your throat! (Please read my McDonalds blog, shameless advertising!) In the second Picture you see Beyonce glowing walking along the beach in L.A. after a few months of complete relaxation while her team of child minders change nappies and do the night shift and her dieticians and physicians have had a while to make sure she looks like her usual self. I promise you, three months after birth, you’ve had 90 days of changing nappies and being puked on, 90 nights of sleep in ten minute intervals and countless friends and family showing up taking pictures and fucking off leaving you only with a pile of cups to wash! You’ll be lucky to throw a pair of jogging bottoms on and walk down the high street! Yet another unachievable goal forced upon the public that the girls feel they need to live up to…
Personally I don’t understand why girls see stuff like this (below) in magazines and feel the need to live up to it;

These girls look like they could do with a meal and the plastic ‘additions’ some of them have are more suited to swimming pool safety than something you would carry around in your bra on a daily basis.

Television programs like ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’ or ‘The Hills’ promote an unobtainable lifestyle that girls are unknowingly forced to aspire to. Everyone who reads this must have either thought ‘I want to live the L.A. lifestyle’ or seen somebody post something similar on a social networking site. The minute everyone realises that false lips, false tits, false hair and false eyebrows is not what men are attracted to the better. Please take a moment to look at the girls below;

We all know Katie Price, here we can clearly see her FALSE tits, FALSE lips, FALSE forehead, FALSE cheeks, FALSE hair and FALSE teeth. The second model is Lea T, the 2010/11 face of French designer Givenchy. Yet again FALSE tits, FALSE lips, FALSE forehead, FALSE cheeks, FALSE hair and FALSE teeth. The difference is ladies and gentlemen, even though Lea is without doubt the better looking of the two, she was born male and christened Leandro. The fact that Lea is transgendered takes nothing away from her rank of 42 out of all world female models, says a lot about all the plastic retards the girls feel the need to emulate!

So girls, if you want to look like an unconvincing transgendered beauty… reach for the Botox!

There are countless pictures on the internet with this message;

Yet there are still millions of girls with self-confidence issues cause by the media’s obsession with telling you it’s wrong to be anything other than Victoria Beckham! It’s not wrong to be you!

Let’s not forget the lads throughout all this. If we want to read a magazine about football, formula 1 or anything for that matter! They are full of ‘85% of the women we surveyed agreed that **** has the best six pack’ or ‘how Daniel Craig achieved his physique for James Bond role’. The fact that footballers are finely tuned athletes and actors are given hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of professional training and dietary care as well as some anabolic help!

In my experiences it is the girls who are paranoid and false that make public their adoration of male celebrities with such features. Hopefully a day will come when each of them grow up and taste the real world.

To summarize;

Male, female, transgendered, cat, dog, smurf… we all have different shapes and sizes, your life will be far more enjoyable when you accept that you are you and remember, nobody can love you until you love yourself!

Mcdonald's... REALLY?

The golden arches are the most recognized symbol in the world. The restaurant provides food for people in 119 countries, especially the USA. There are even 179 restaurants in India where most people don't eat either beef or pork.
Mcdonald’s has a daily customer traffic of 62 million, that’s more than the population of Great Britain and the company is still growing. There's 76 countries left to colonize. Growth is no problem, and Mcdonald’s plans to open one restaurant every day for the next three years in China alone.
Selling 75 hamburgers (amongst other products) per second helps towards the corporation’s $24 Billion in revenue. Mcdonald’s franchise stores bring in a revenue of $32 billion, that makes the company the 68th biggest economy in the world, that’s bigger than countries such as Ecuador! Mcdonald’s does have good points such as their ‘apprenticeship’ schemes which help to put the employees through qualifications sometimes as high as degrees. Mcdonald’s also creates a vast amount of jobs, estimated at over one million per year in the US alone. Company figures indicate that one in every eight Americans have worked for Mcdonald’s, including Sharon Stone, Shania Twain, Jay Leno, Rachel McAdams and Pink. However these employees suffer a 60% annual staff turnover (300% in America!) as well as being trained to sweat for pence. 75% of all employees are under 21 years of age who are duped into believing they are gained a trade in kitchen work, until they try to find employment elsewhere. The ‘kitchen skills’ learned in a Mcdonald’s restaurant are more liked to production line experience.
It is believed that the famous ‘golden arches’ is more widely known than the religious symbol of the cross. That comes as no surprise considering Mcdonald’s main target is children and the corporation is responsible for 20% of all toy distribution in the world.
So there are some facts about Mcdonald’s finances and figures, and with figures like that it is no surprise that the Queen of England herself owns a franchise near Buckingham Palace.


Now, what’s the problem? You might be asking, Mcdonald’s is very successful and helps individuals gain employment and qualifications all over the world…
That’s correct, it does. However the employees are paid notoriously low wages for long shifts and minimal benefits as well as being subjected to daily abuse from customers with no protection from ‘supervisors’ or ‘managers’.

Mcdonald's also funds the constructions of schools in the US with the agreement that the government provides the learning and Mcdonald's provides the cafeteria. So here is Mcdonald's turning America's youth into a captive audience for five days every week! I'm sure that will do the obesity issue a world of good!

The main reason I wrote this blog was to show you what the food actually is. Fair enough, it’s tasty and keeps the kids happy! But when you’ve seen some of this you may think twice.



This is not ice-cream, or the famous thick milkshake… This is what your chicken nuggets are filled with and I’m sure you’ll agree, it looks like it’s never seen a chicken in it’s life! It is ‘mechanically separated chicken’ that has been washed with ammonia and then chemically dyed to this ‘natural colour’. So the chicken that is worth keeping (breast fillets, legs, wings and so on) are taken away before Ronald Smashes the carcass into mush, fries it and feeds it to you.


Anyone remember the MacRib? 
The ‘meat’ in this tasty pork rib sandwich contained some of the same materials as a yoga mat. Go on, admit it, you ate sponge didn’t you?
I must admit my favourite thing from Mcdonald’s is the strawberry milkshake (when the fucking machine works) and guess what? Apparently, real strawberries are expensive. So they choose to use a ridiculous concoction of 50 chemicals to effectively imitate the flavor of one real-world food. These chemicals include ethyl acetate, phenythyl alcohol and solvent. Pass me that screen wash, I’m thirsty!


It can’t be that bad can it? Surely the lovely people down at the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) won’t let them serve this shit? WRONG! The FDA approved the use of bacteriophages (a.k.a. viruses) that help kill these dangerous microbes. So, basically, viruses are purposely being added to your food to improve shelf life.
Mcdonald’s, along with other fast food outlets and production companies are guilty of pushing guidelines to the limits. A more accurate name for fast food cheese and other packaged cheeses is "cheese-like substance." Any cheese product labeled as processed or pasteurized includes additives, chemicals and flavorings that account for up 49 percent of the total product. As a result, that cheap cheese in your grocery store has just enough real cheese in it to allow companies to call it cheese. Same goes for the meat. Burgers are measured by ‘chuck’, that’s the ratio of meat to fat and other shite that is thrown in for good luck. Mcdonald’s figures even show that their ¼ pound burger is 48% water!



So I’ll play it safe and get a salad…


Think Again! Choosing to "eat healthy" at a fast food restaurant isn't necessarily a good idea. To prolong crispness, packaged salads are dusted with Propylene Glycerol, a chemical commonly found in antifreeze. In its concentrated form, the chemical has been known to cause eye and skin irritation.


To finish the 'what's in it' section with a bang I'm going to show you an experiment that somebody has carried out. We all know that bread, meat, cheese and potatoes will perish after a certain amount of time, normally a matter of weeks before it shows... Please take a second to look at this Mcdonald's meal that has been left untouched for TWO YEARS!




As you can see, it has hardly perished and their is no sign of mould. This is just an indication of what this shit is made of, just think what it is doing inside your stomach! If bacteria wouldn't touch it, I wouldn't advise giving it to your kids! this clearly shows that the food contains chemicals that would kill bacteria!


So there you have it, not only does Ronald exploit your children (who see on average 10,000 Mcdonald’s adverts a year) they also sell you extremely poor quality chemical ridden food while exploiting animals and staff.
WHAT's wrong with McDonald's is also wrong with all the junk-food chains like Wimpy, Kentucky Fried Chicken, etc. All of them hide their ruthless exploitation of resources, animals and people behind a facade of colourful gimmicks and 'family fun’. The food itself is much the same everywhere - only the packaging is different. The rise of these firms means less choice, not more. They are one of the worst examples of industries motivated only by profit, and geared to continual expansion.
This materialist mentality is affecting all areas of our lives, with giant conglomerates dominating the marketplace, allowing little or no room for people to create genuine choices. But alternatives do exist, and many are gathering support every day from people rejecting big business in favour of small-scale self-organisation and co-operation.
The point is not to change McDonald's into some sort of vegetarian organisation, but to change the whole system itself. Anything less would still be a rip-off.
McDonald's is one of several giant corporations with investments in vast tracts of land in poor countries, sold to them by the dollar-hungry rulers (often military) and privileged elites, evicting the small farmers that live there growing food for their own people. It is common knowledge that the US is backing Israel in the illegal confiscation of Palestine, is this reason a contributor?
The power of the US dollar means that in order to buy technology and manufactured goods, poor countries are trapped into producing more and more food for export to the States. Out of 40 of the world's poorest countries, 36 export food to the USA – the wealthiest.
Some 'Third World' countries, where most children are undernourished, are actually exporting their staple crops as animal feed - i.e. to fatten cattle for turning into burgers in the 'First World'. Millions of acres of the best farmland in poor countries are being used for our benefit - for tea, coffee, tobacco, etc. - while people there are starving. McDonald's is directly involved in this economic imperialism, which keeps such natives poor and hungry while many of us grow fat.
