The Males Only Republic Of Afghanistan - World's Largest Opium Producer. With Pakistan's Marketing Expertise. Malaysia Better Watch Out

 Let me make a prediction - there will be an increase in drug couriers carrying illegal drugs into South East Asia, including Malaysia. Having said that here is a video of a wedding in Afghanistan. New Taliban style. You can fast forward the video. Its quite boring. Two things I noted. There are no women. This is Afghanistan. Men only.

Secondly gone are the days when the Taliban were thin and skinny. These guys are well fed and round like dumplings.  And you can see them chowing down.

 

 

Here is video No. 2. It is about two minutes long. I have said this many times before and many years before. The Taliban grows the opium and the Pakistani Army provides protection and helps sell the opium and its byproduct heroine all over the world. Err . . this will include South East Asia. 

 

The following is another YouTube video on the same subject. This is from an Indian news channel. It is in English with a little bit of Hindi. They are saying that opium and heroine shipments from Afghanistan have increased tremendously. The Pakistani Army has developed links with Iranian drug smugglers to use iranian ports like Bandar Abbas to ship the drugs to the Asia, the Middle East, Africa and other places.  

Recently India has seized a heroine shipment of THREE THOUSAND KILOS. That is three tonnes. Other places where these drugs are being shipped are Gujarat in north India and Chennai in Tamil Nadu. Chennai is just 4.0 hours flying time from KLIA. By boat they can reach southern Thailand in two or three days. 

The video is 30 minutes but I hope the Police will listen to this carefully. For a certainty the heroine trade from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran will be picking up. 

Until Kabul fell on August 15th 2021 the opium business had to be kept under wraps because the Pakistani Army was afraid of the US. Also there were already much easier billions of US Dollars to be made from gun running and logistics support for the US Army. 

With the Americans exiting suddenly from Afghanistan on Aug 15th 2021  the supply of US Dollars for the Pakistani Army dried up overnite.  So now its back to good old agriculture again - planting, harvesting, processing, packaging and exporting opium, heroine and whatever.

The Pakistani ISI or Inter Services Intelligence is a full fledged government intelligence agency with the full weight of government machinery behind them. They will have clandestine networks,  run agents, operate undercover, conduct covert operations, make fake passports and do everything else an intelligence agency can do. Imagine all this capacity also tuned towards selling drugs. 

I am telling you the supply of opium and heroine into South East Asia is going to increase. So what shall we do? Shall we close one eye, close both eyes, open both eyes? What shall we do?
