It involves the CIA, Air America, USAID, the DEA and the mafia. The CIA’s distribution of heroin had its beginnings right after WW II. In the late 1940s Truman’s newly formed CIA (replacement for WW II’s OSS) contracted with Gen. Claire Chenault (founder/leader of the American Volunteer Group – aka the “Flying Tigers” – during WW II) to form Civilian Air Transport (CAT). CAT’s mission was to fly opium into China’s opium epicenter – the Yunnan Province – which was controlled by the remnants of Chiang Kai-Shek’s army – the Kuomintang (KMT). The KMT sold that opium and used the sales proceeds to finance their ongoing civil war with the Communist Chinese. Truman “gifted” CAT with surplus US military aircraft to fly these opium-transport missions. CAT was nominally “owned” by the KMT but staffed and piloted by former US military personnel.
The CIA “bought” CAT in 1950 and thereafter continued to operate it for the benefit of the KMT. In 1959 the CIA changed the airline’s name to Air America (yes, THAT Air America).
When the Communist Chinese pushed the KMT out of Yunnan Province, Air America then flew harvested opium to the KMT’s new headquarters in northeastern Burma. KMT transported the opium from Burma to northwest Thailand (near Chiang Mai) where the opium was processed into heroin. Overall, the KMT’s opium/heroin business operated in Burma, Thailand and far western Laos (this area is known as the Golden Triangle.)
Air America transported some KMT-sourced heroin to Saigon where it was trafficked to US service members. But the vast majority of KMT-sourced heroin was transported to Bangkok and sold to international wholesalers who in turn trafficked the heroin to Europe, New York and California. By the late 1970s, Golden Triangle-sourced heroin accounted for 80% of the world’s heroin supply, all thanks to the CIA, Air America and, as discussed next, USAID. In 1961, Kennedy formed USAID. One of USAID’s initial activities was the stationing of its’ “agents” in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, Thailand. Why? USAID’s agents’ “secret” mission was to coordinate with corrupt Thai military and police to ensure the KMT’s opium/heroin shipments were “uninterrupted.”
USAID agents oversaw the shipment of these drug all around the world. Sicilian and US mafia members (reportedly including affiliates of the Trafficante family) were among KMT’s international drug wholesalers. This same Trafficante family, in 1961, worked with the CIA on the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba. The CIA’s Air America members trained members of the Bay of Pigs invasion force. The CIA also contracted with the Trafficante family in 1961 to attempt to assassinate Castro.
Now, at this time the Trafficante family “controlled” US shipping ports of Tampa and New Orleans, so the apparent quid pro quo was for the CIA to guarantee the Trafficante family with “unobstructed” use of those two ports in exchange for the Trafficante mob’s collaborations on Cuba. Affiliates of this same Trafficante family, in the 1980s, collaborated with the CIA in the financing of weapons sent to Nicaraguan anti-Sandinista revolutionaries, and sent to Iran in a (failed) attempt to free hostages.
The CIA received a share of the mafia-laundered drug money as the source of their arms purchases. (Internet search for Oliver North, Iran/Contra Scandal, Castle Bank – Bahamas). So, there is the 40-year history of the collaboration among the CIA/Air America/USAID/Mafia in the international trafficking of heroin. Oh – by the way – those Thailand-based USAID agents? They became the initial cadre of the Drug Enforcement Agency immediately after its creation in 1973 and in that new capacity continued their involvement in Golden Triangle heroin smuggling activities. https:// library.utdallas.edu/special-collec tions-and-archives/history-of-aviation-archive/leeker-history/… <t.co/SnmaZZmkL9> museum.dea.gov/wall-honor/rob ert-c-lightfoot… <t.co/NzDsSLaGkf> https:// catassociation.org/history/ <t.co/1t1IOU8x0e> https:// counterpunch.org/2017/12/01/the-us-opium-wars-china-burma-and-the-cia/… <t.co/0lZkdcJk46>
