Brave Congressman Explains How US Keeps Afghan Heroine Trade Alive at Your Expense
In a recent speech on the state of the Afghanistan quagmire, Congressman Thomas Massie (R) KY, exposed some hard truths that very few people in Washington are courageous enough to address. While most politicians cheered Trump’s insane decision to increase US presence in Afghanistan this week, Massie blew the lid off of it.

For years, Massie has pointed out that the US has blown billions of dollars on failed projects alone. As of last year, the number of failed projects totaled over 100 billion.

To put this number in perspective, the entire amount of money the United States allocates to spend on rebuilding America’s crumbling highways every year is less than half of what it’s blown on failed projects alone in Afghanistan...

It is also no secret that Afghanistan opium production has increased by 3,500 percent, from 185 tons in 2001 to 6,400 in 2015, since the US-led invasion.

(From the same article.)

Bayer-Monsanto buys the opium.
And Miracle-Gro owns Gavita grow lights.

Soon the world will understand the drug trade (its a corporate venture)

It is out. It's just a matter of whether or not people choose to believe it, or even care to know.

The geopolitical importance of the opium fields in Afghanistan is similar to that of the coca fields in South American and the oil fields in the Middle East. Someone is going to control these. Who shall it be? Russia? China? Iran? The Vatican? Israeli? The Saudis? The U.S.? I'm on the side of the U.S. I want to see the U.S. in control of these strategic resources. Piss and moan all you want, but it's a practical necessity if we want a well-managed world.

Heroine- a mythological or legendary woman often of divine descent having great strength or ability

Heroin-Heroin, also known as diamorphine among other names,[1] is an opiate most commonly used as a recreational drug for its euphoric effects

I can't believe no one jumped on this.
