Yeah, smoking heroin wasn't good enough for him. He got hold of some triple script liquid morphine. That's what did him in. I've got a half-brother that "experimented" with heroin as well. Hopefully, that phase is over.
Never did it. Smoked opium a couple of times when I was younger. I can definitely understand how people get hooked on that stuff. Modern day slavery. And the beauty of it is you just give people the drug and they bring you money.
Going street price in U.S.: 172$/gram.
Our soldiers are over there to keep Karzai and his brother, the drug-dealer safe. The Taliban had wiped out the opium trade pretty much at one point, like the Maoists. You've got to give the devil his due. Opium poppies have bloomed again under our puppet government, literally.

Between 2000 and 2001, the taliban stopped opium production by 94%. Can anyone say motive? End of Taliban will bring rise in heroin http://www.heroin.org/afghanistan/prediction.html By Richard Lloyd Parry in Islamabad 19 October 2001The defeat of the Taliban would result in a surge in opium production, which has beenvirtually halted in Afghanistan by the Kabul regime over the last year, United Nations officials have warned. A new UN survey reveals that the Taliban have completed one of the quickest and most successful drug elimination programmes in history. The area of land given over to growing opium poppies in 2001 fell by 91 per cent compared with the year before, according to the UN Drug Control Programme's (UNDCP) annual survey of Afghanistan. Production of fresh opium, the raw material for heroin, went down by an unprecedented 94 per cent, from 3,276 tonnes to 185 tonnes. Almost all Afghan opium this year came out of territories controlled by America's ally in the assault on Afghanistan, the Northern Alliance. Because of a ban on poppy farming, only one in 25 of Afghanistan's opium poppies was being grown in Taliban areas. However, while poppy cultivation dropped, exports of refined opium and heroin from the Taliban-controlled areas remained unchanged because of stockpiles. Some UN officials privately believe that the Taliban have not received enough credit for controlling drugs, and that under any post-Taliban regime cultivation, consumption – and the amount of opium and heroin on world markets – would inevitably increase. "These are things which no one can say," said one UN official who worked in Afghanistan before the terrorist attacks of 11 September. "No other government in the world would have been able to do that. When I travelled through Badakshan [a province largely controlled by the Northern Alliance] you often saw the poppies." In its early years the Taliban justified the cultivation of opium on the basis that it was a drug consumed abroad by unbelievers. But in 2000, the regime changed its mind and vigorously enforced the ban, apparently in the hope of winning credit with the UN and strengthening its claim to Afghanistan's seat in the General Assembly, currently occupied by the Northern Alliance.

What's Betray-us' personal cut, I wonder? And the rest of them. They got to be shaking down these fu#%s like Karzai's brother. Company gets a cut, for sure, but some of these aholes must be getting a taste somehow. It would be nice if some of these puppets at least could be tied back to this $hit. Especially since that dick just might be run for pres. one day.

Something else that's come back that the Taliban had pretty successfully banned: Child Trafficking Bacha Bazi: Child Trafficking and Exploitation in AfghanistanInternational Children's Day International Children’s Day on June 1st calls attention to the welfare of children around the world. Urging the international community to take steps which will protect and promote children’s rights, International Children’s Day brings awareness to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, one of the most widely accepted treaties ratified by the United Nations. One of many violations of children’s rights globally occurs in Afghanistan to young boys sold into prostitution and slavery in a practice called Bacha Bazi. Casulaties of War One of the greatest casualties of war is the abuse and exploitation of children. Children are beaten, raped and recruited as child soldiers in wars around the world. The darker side of America’s commitment to the war in Afghanistan is our support of a government backed by warlords and drug lords that do not actively prosecute crimes against children. Our allies in Afghanistan prey upon the weakest and most vulnerable of Afghan society—children. Reviving the ancient tradition of Bacha Bazi or “boy play,” young Afghan boys are sold into slavery and prostitution and bought by powerful warlords, police officials and drug lords. Afghani government officials whose job it is to investigate reports of abuse and punish abusers are themselves participants in Bacha Bazi. for more about this story: http://hubpages.com/hub/Bacha-Bazi-Child-Trafficking-and-Exploitation-in-Afghanistan____________________________________________________________________________________________ Again, good work, NATO! Way to bring back "bitch boys". (I guess you make it clear what your preferences are.) BTW, just read a story about the heroin trade only being 3B (obviouysly not street price in the west) and how it was being used to help the resurgent Taliban. Ha. What lousy propaganda. I guess the markup though is about 2,000 percent, though. Doesn't really surprise me. Nobody in Afghanistan is making the real money. The farmers get only a third of that 5%. The other two-thirds go to kickbacks in Afghanistan and local distributors. Who's getting the other 95% of the profits?

Fourteen killed in Koran protests across Indian Kashmir Reuters September 13, 2020 Police shot dead at least 13 people Monday in anti-government and Koran demonstrations across Indian Kashmir in the biggest single death toll from protests in the disputed region in years. The toll includes nine people killed in police clashes after Muslim protesters set fire to a Christian missionary school and government buildings in two districts to denounce reports that copies of the Koran had been damaged in the United States. to read more: http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE68C2IY20100913from today's infowars.com _________________________________________ This is where I was afraid all this was going, and may continue to go. By design? That's kinda why I started the thread. Perhaps, we have still only seen the tip of this iceberg.

2 Afghans Are Killed in Protests Over KoranBy ROD NORDLAND Published: September 16, 2010 KABUL, Afghanistan — Two Afghans, at least one of them armed, were killed Thursday in another protest over a rumored burning of the Koran, Islam’s holy book, nearly a week after a pastor in Florida who had incited widespread outrage over his plans to incinerate Korans in a 9/11 memorial bonfire canceled those plans. That brought to at least five the number of people killed in Afghanistan during protests about Koran burnings that in fact had not happened, in four separate attacks by demonstrators on NATO bases since Sept. 10. On Wednesday, 35 Afghan police officers were injured by stone-throwing demonstrators in Kabul, and 12 civilians were hurt, although no one died. for the rest of the story: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/17/world/asia/17koran.html?_r=1&ref=worldfound on infowars.com today
