Drug Smuggling

The topic of drug smuggling is often represented by the commercially-controlled media as a matter of small groups of individuals. This obscures the degree to which the deep state - and the CIA in particular - is responsible for drug trafficking.

Focus

Attention is focused by the commercially-controlled media on individual small-scale attempts to evade detection by authorities,ref>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/03/16/bizarre-smuggling-attempts-that-went-wrong-in-pictures/sofa-made-recycled-material-lorry-13-tons-cannabis-discovered/</ref>. This stays firmly within the realms of the official narrative and the official opposition narrative - ill-advised, maybe, but the "war on drugs" is a sincere ttempt to reduce consumption of and trafficking in drugs, for the good of society.

=Lying by omission

Comparatively little attention is given to stories such as Cocaine 1 and Cocaine 2 or Western Global Airlines N545JN which reveal the extent to which the establishment is complicit in drug smuggling. Although the DEA cited the 2006 Mexico DC-9 drug bust‎ as an example of their campaign to intercept smuggling by sea[1] it received minimal attention from the corporate media.

Cash Smuggling

Cash is smuggled internationally as a part of money laundering efforts, which may be on a large scale. In 2016, Western Global Airlines N545JN flew 67 tonnes of newly printed banknotes from Germany to South Africa. A spokesman for the South African Reserve Bank explained the delivery was “a consignment of South African banknotes that was produced overseas as part of the SARB's annual production plan.”[2]
