here on the news. ready ready this is a poppy field ah, once caught the part of the plant, secretes a miraculous, milky fluid called latex base opium used by man as a bomb for more than 5 millennia opium released pain in the pieces the mind. and that should have been the end of it. for this strong would play a part in some of mankind's greatest upheavals, imperialism colonization, the cold war, and more recently, globalization without the backing of states. drug trafficking would never have existed in 1951 at the height of the indo china. all the french

secret service was deployed to organize the counter attack against of yet men guerrillas, but it was seriously short of money. they contacted a tribe in the hills of laos, the hammond, and bought their entire poppy crop which they transported to a military base in saigon. their french agent sold opium to chinese vietnamese gangs under the corsican mafia who turned it into heroine and dispatched it to the united states. it wasn't one of those bizarrely clear instances of a modern western and children's apparatus actually operating a drug trade ah ah.

in 1971, richard nixon launched the war on drugs across the united states, the same scenes were repeated, drug busts, masser, s, and prison sentences. exogenous back from vietnam was systematically tested and weaned off the world's leading produce of heroine. france was in washington sites. the corsican mafia, the pillar of the french connection was the number one target ball vandal city, of course, who post billy gus and denny, i say no petty casa the politics. jo. he le jo, w points while i,

france witnessed its 1st desk. i over dice. heroine became a major public health issue. french president, george competed welcome nixon's pressure. his secret service was beyond control. the drug rings needed to be broken up. glass i led isn't like joe keel worthy if you do the machine the which you keep pledging my tell yankee field is we can assume it. young voc brought the motley a cellphone on to the topic of up while maxima she'll develop, will have to watch all this stuff. motion 10, st. agents from its brand, new drug enforcement administration. specializing an intelligence, the d. e. a partner, the french police and its investigations. within 5 years, 3010 traffic exendina were arrested, and the chemists of the casa can mafia fled. the french connection was dismantled.

nixon's drug worn was, in one sense, brantley successful. he combines diplomacy at the highest level with the enforcement activities of the, the drug enforcement ministration, to concentrate the full power of the united states against narcotics. mm hm. the 1st battle was one mm. but in the mid 19 seventy's, the drug market excluded across the globe as consumption reached unprecedented levels. to conquer this market, a new generation of traffickers would build powerful criminal organizations, headed by the so called drug lords. through them full tactical axis of power emerged, which would turn drug trafficking into a globalized industry. organized crime is the most agile business in the world.

you squeeze it, you pressure it. it will simply adapt to the existing conditions is like water. it follows the path of least resistance, and it will always move around obstacles, awe from the ashes of the old world. drug traffic rose and reorganized at lightning speed in mexico. those who had been farming copies of marijuana for 20 years. with the 1st to understand lady me last young de la connex, your fiance, sir frey. when that goes, i spit back laugh. but alaska, when you had this come pissy ness. it but it should elope. you'll sit there because if what 2 people in so long enough, macy's new poppy fields were hastily planted in the fertile mountains of sinaloa, the da launched a huge operation with the mexican army. in

1976, washington supplied all kinds of herbicides to spray over the poppy marijuana fields . whole villages were forced to my great small producers and smugglers were jailed . those compass he must guess already. we are unlucky olympia, a little bit of you yet on board. be in the say, mitchell mas negotiate orders, which will massy know by lordis. danton lemonade, anchor sick, one breland, yet another august, comin little stealth. yes, he gay. you'll see maniquan from under the survivors of these last operations shifted their production and organized themselves under the leadership of a traffic from a poor family and sinaloa. miguel all hell, felix guy, ardo. he's a very interesting guy. he's a full federal police. so he understood the workings of the police

very important when a drug trafficker, he also was for a time, a body guard to the governor of sinner law. so he understood the political world and he understood the drug trafficking. well sir, if you've got a foot in most 3 worlds, that's a recipe for success. lou felix guy, i do based himself in mexico, 2nd largest city, guadalajara. by uniting the smartest produces and traffic, as he would gain control of nearly all of the countries heroin, marijuana markets. the 1st big mexican drug cartel was bone. the guadalajara cartels soon amassed a colossal fortune phillips, a yellow se. when of a member of the law, one valuable we have no don't. buncombe, he can lavalley natal massey vomiting de los ne bullshit seen douglas and alice,

good than yale ether. let me in the little group withdrew his bank phenix guy aldo reinvested his money in legal activities. he became a respected businessman and delighted in rubbing shoulders with mexican high society. the crackdown carried out a few years earlier had failed to cut the rise of the 1st mexican drug. lord was still it actually facilitated it. the more lined force meant the more natural selection you have to the survival of the fittest. it's the drug traffickers that are most capable of evading law enforcement that have the greatest capacity to outcompetes the rivals by that through smartness, or through aggression. and that have the greatest capacity to corrupt at these local officials. that survive of the fight. ah.

as heroine continued to slow on to the american market, another drug surface deep within the andes. cocaine in peru in bolivia, where the cook elise had been used for millennia to ward of hunger and altitude sickness. chemistry waved its magic wand. go to woocommerce with ugly tip dog. oh, not remote puzzled eagle t. the fatal gun, monsieur was rude or to give us in all st. lucie ot immunology, i will have, shall, removal, must have assumed the dervish suffolk level doubly she me. so for 3 of a does a full that she did say that it good in the early seventy's, a gram of coke sold in the united states for $700.00 extremely

ran. the white powder lit out the well to finance the walls of wall street and the jet said it was the drug of triumphant capitalism. the drug of the successful. there was actually a time magazine cover of the champagne of drugs. here's a wonderful drug that you can get high on and it's not addictive. raul dead wrong. but as a result for their political consequences, a d, a was instructed, you will devote all your investigative effort toward heroin. you will not and vote investigative effort to cocaine trafficking. oh, the path was open for the large scale control of his new market. in columbia, a handful of criminals began production without encountering the slightest obstacle . a poor country, columbia was

a vast territory of jungles and mountains which escaped allstate control. there the traffickers were king's. o r, columbia, you bye. will you have 30 in truth rise? you will deliver it cha. lackland ginger, i shall deployed. you nominate another guy, least the dealer will fail with deliberate jazel to he made a loud thought. either let him go. 3, i hindered up 3 judges. in the early 19 seventy's, colombian traffickers bought cocaine in bolivia and peruse and smuggled it in the united states. the frenzied american market brought the mind boggling profits. in mid in a young traffic, i convinced other criminals to step up a level together they would increase deliveries and seize control of the cocaine

market. this was a birth of the medina cartel. pablo escobar was the enforcer. every drug trafficker had to pay him a percentage and he provided a series of services in exchange that percentage one guaranteed loads. so he would put together loads from various different traffickers and then he would ensure they would deliver to the united states. if a shipment was lost, he would make it up. interesting to invent cocaine trafficking. he industrialized it and moved it to this enormous scale down the nadine cartel purchased a fleet of aircraft and began smuggling tons of cocaine into southern florida.

in miami drug dealers, wage their own war for control america discovered the bloody face of cocaine. shocked by the scale of the violence, the da traced the problem back to columbia. in 1979, president jimmy carter imposed an extradition treaty on the colombian government. already. all traffic is arrested by the police and columbia would henceforth be tried and jailed in the united states. escobar realised the threat to stop parliament from ratifying the treaty. he handsomely paid off a large number of politicians, but he wanted further guarantees. in 1980 to age, 33, escobar entered politics himself, running as a wealthy businessman, he was elected as an alternate member of the chamber of representatives. it's

natalie stays young viola like was tito's young, columbia, anna, and vein thief, that it had the coolest. authentic on fellow the digital manuals for kit, though it glow local on dental. they stuck on trial. yeah, much more casey, most of the ones that have been that maldonado romano, had the legal means of inside a mouth and then controlled everybody on in boy and political ideal. having infiltrated the colombian democracy, pablo escobar succeeded in having the extradition treaty blocked in the united states. nobody imagined that this young politician was none other than he who attend cocaine into a powerful industry. ah, the industrialization of drugs was also on going in asia after the vietnam law. and the departure of american g eyes thailand sailed alone

in a sea of red kingdom, feared communistic cautions into its territory. a young horner would take advantage of his new g a political order. he went by the name of consol, the prince prosperity consigned as an extraordinary figure. consult as of that kind and inconsequential individual who would have had a, a life as a market trader or farmer or a localized businessman, who gets transformed into a man of extraordinary power. born in burma and having received military training as a youngster, he became a militia man in the pay of the ruthless balmy's dictatorship console then founded his own army, financed by the opium trade. soon at the head of 2000 all men, he crossed the border and sold his services to the powers that be in thailand.

he was pretty good at st. seeing where the power lay and the maximum amount of resources he could extract from the power arms. no immunity, no the right to traffic. the kingdom of thailand, welcomed console with open arms. with his armed men, he would defend the border against communist incursions. in exchange, the so called prince a prosperity was given cancer blanche for his trafficking. his opium caravans freely travelled across borders. the apply supreme command had base camps for them, protected them, and of course, received a percentage of their profits. i think i felt like i think i spoke with how they

felt consult built a very large her on the board toward the became quite a powerful drug lord can saw, was picked up on the da radar. but thailand refused to hand over its precious ally to washington. faced with the stalemate, the members of the american congress tried a different approach and sent one of their miseries to negotiate with couldn't saw . as a british documentary maker adrian cow looked, tom only the president and the administration has the authority to make agreements concerning the purchase of opium. let me think. and so what it would have to be done to eliminate opium production in the sham states. and

had time to ha now who? yup. in the hike rather than what i'm gonna highlight coming on. dante bunk, one more oakland mahoney who i up in the b one you're doing and i have my contact to the person who can come and collect all the opium vaughn in in our country. either with tow it auto burning. in this game of diplomacy, consol didn't present himself as a drug trafficker, but as a defender of his people. the sham who were being brutally repressed in burma, sion state was also the main opium production area in the golden triangle. a coveted region in a constant state of war certainly in his, in his group in his army, there were people which strong shown political em objectives em. but there were also people in his group that many economic objectives and coincide was very smart

himself. balancing these 2 groups in his own army poverty saying i'm fighting for shanklin garage at the same time making most of the money of the drug trade him with them and deeply, unfortunate. and he was very good at it couldn't saw boasted that he was powerful enough to assemble all the opium production of shan state and transfer it to the united states in exchange of a few $1000000.00 with which he could help his people. the proposal made its way to the white house, but washington preferred strong arm tactics to eradicate opium from the golden triangle. the u. s. on the burmese military and its blood 1st, he generals american helicopters failed to destroy a single opium field. instead firing on rebelling minorities

oh, i am the prince of prosperity could continue his rise as opium continue to make its way to his laboratories. ah, protected in thailand. he stepped up production and was given a new nickname, the king of harrowing. aah! meanwhile, in europe. in the mid 19 seventy's, a small group of cosa nostra lobsters hired the former french connection chemist, known as the godfathers of palermo. they brought in opium from the middle east to supply their elicit labs on the sicilian coast. the godfather, set up

a distribution network in the united states in pizza restaurants in the new york area, soon baptized by the f. b i is the pizza connection very soon. the sums of money involved became astronomical sicilian banks were unable to so couple the cash generated by the traffic. little cal mall was every next close. your dear, you see symbol k are if you have them on but is that all of our make liver d u b? i could use it as fixed owners. who came on careless, reese, was he ear to? does he stem do? dont cast him on dubois the piece or now me or plus dupree lou. debra. you got him shake assistant flores, he parallel boy sharpie. i taught lily, she slice off his cal dizzy dar. eli matthews, on concord commerce, i well book who docile it back to systemic magnetic buskie beaver. it lizzy. since albany mathew increased his, them say lucy stem kept the dentist. he knows he thought they fade thought,

but his in thing last breath gone good. thus the laughing because your committees went and did it like i'm at. i live in dante. ringback to sure of himself, escobar had forgotten one detail, an old case resurfaced when a reporter from the popular daily l. a spectre dog discovered in the newspapers, archives an article that had appeared in 1976. 0, the young pablo escobar. i rested in possession of 19 key lays of cocaine. for printers, he called the amazon not bracket by the squad. i cannot april. yeah. this he lynette would gain nothing. it must produce the kitten young being called up at a full neglect article in congress on october impish on on the licky dollar in minneapolis, cynthia burgess, glad a stock mickland esteem. newcomers will bid yet. i said it political if he sadly not got that. if he can't go,

oh. ready a drug laws dabbling in politics is usually highly beneficial. playing on their robin hood images, defenders of the poor and victims of a repressive state. they enjoy strong popular support. and the more they are attacked by the state, the stronger they become. deep within the golden triangle, consol was the perfect example of this phenomenon. in the early 19 eighties, the regions g politics changed radically. china had opened itself up to other nations, piece returned. and the kingdom of thailand no longer needed its troublesome allies . serving no further purpose, the king of heroine was chased out of the country and sought refuge in his homeland of burma. couldn't saw set up his new laboratories in shan state without the

slightest opposition. from the burmese dictatorship, he must have made paid off paid money to m army commanders in the region. hm. it's hard to find evidence, photos, of course. but i think if you look at how things have developed over the years, it makes a lot of sense as so many raises. were there the burmese military dictatorship, who's one of the most repressive in the world by allying themselves with concern. they purchase peace in shan state, which represented a quarter of burma consult offered them that which counted most in their eyes. stability in a region that had been in constant rebellion console did something extraordinary. he gradually, through by assassinating rival leaders, by using a mom basically the fur death. he worse the sean, the fragmented sean movement to increasingly respect him as the leader. and he built a,

an armed force of $20000.00 men. the balmy's army would not attack, couldn't soft unconcern could continue to present himself as the great defender of his people, the sham all the while keeping his factories taking round the clock. oh no, i might be all night or marvel. he had been a year, but more mo, you now it concern flooded the heroine market by selling his drugs caught price. in about 1990 . 1 burn was producing around $500.00 tons of opium a year. by a 99, it was producing 2500 tons. a 500 percent increase. one of the most rapid increases in opium production up to that point in history, probably as far as we know, the most rapid increase. oh, thousands of kilometers away in sicily to attack cosa
