believe we made a decision now that will permit us to create an economic order in the world. it will promote more growth, more quality, better preservation of the environment, and a greater possibility of world peace. in 1994, the united states along with canada and mexico inaugurated the greatest free trade zone in the world. no more trade barriers and fewer border controls. ready mexican factories stepped up the pace and lines of trucks at the u. s. border grew longer hiding. drug cargo in the stream of vehicles became the favorite pastime of the mexican cartels implanted along the 3000 kilometer border heroine. marijuana and cocaine flowed practically unobstructed

helming. the country, mexico's sole political party, the p r. i received it, share of the profits. as long as the traffickers take drugs to the gringos and as long as they don't challenge the state, it's okay. as long as they don't act against their interest of the b r i took powers, the state will not interfere with the drug trade very much in columbia at the head of the cocaine trafficking chain, the political establishment finally let loose on drug traffickers under pressure from the da, the criminals who came after pablo escobar were hunted down. their shell companies were dismantled under arrests increased to absorb losses. those who had survived counted on their mexican transporters. they asked them to step up the pace and they weren't flying one at

drug represents one 3rd of the countries revenue from the dusty streets of its capital, kabul to the highest levels of state. all of afghanistan has become addicted to heroin and addiction. that was born in the eighty's in the midst of the cold war. ah, the soviet army occupied the country's big cities and in the countryside, the russians strove to repress afghan resistance. so in the mid 19 eighties they adopted so called scorched earth policy. they decided to destroy the countryside, so people could not live there. and in order to do so, they would burn down or church destroyed water system, poison wells. but not every one moved. instead, people started called there a thing opium, poppy. for 10 years opium,

poppy funded the tribal leaders resistance to the soviet occupation. what was once a marginal crop, became the main source of revenue for peasants and warlords. when the russians left afghanistan, tribal leaders clashed in a struggle to take power. no, several 1000 afghans died in there was throughout the ravaged land. one movement channeled the anger of the people prostrated by years of conflict. the taliban gained ground dedlock objectives that didn't like drugs. when they started, they really were very upset with all those corrupted wallets in afghanistan, they read them like they wanted to bring law in order. it was not the kind of loan or to be liked, were devastated. perception so bought dead was to stop opium opie was

a vice is haram is not clean every why they went the taliban, impose their strict laws, closing movie theaters, outlawing music, hiding women from view. but opium was the livelihood of tens of thousands of families. if they banded the taliban rest losing support in the countryside to build political capital, the taliban started saying, well, the koran says that opium poppy is her arm and it's still her round to use it. but it would say, as long as you produce an opium poppy for dick a few years for the infidels, as long as it goes to russia or goes to the us, that's perfectly fine with us. opium allowed the taliban to finance their advance on cowboy. the afghan capital fell in 1996. afghanistan was immediately ostracized by the international community and cut off

from the world. afghanistan was around richland, and there was no foreign a oh and so, ah, opium. oh, was through the knife, the cut through the gordian knot of this social puzzle of how to restore economy. it's an annual crop. you put the sheet in the ground, and a few months later he got a commodity. it's alyssa, it magically crosses all boundaries. no, i her without any impediment whatsoever. the tenant and set up labs on their land and turned afghanistan into the world's leading heroine, producer. ah drug money made them bold, thinking they could flout international law. in 1998, they granted a safe haven to members of al qaeda. but heroine could not ensure the survival of

an entire country. poverty was rife in afghanistan. the taliban regime sorely needed international aid. in hopes of regaining international favor, the taliban outlaws opium. poppy production throughout the country in 2000 peasants risk to death if they planted the forbidden seed in just one year, nearly every poppy failed in afghanistan had disappeared and the international community said things like, well, no, thank you. and the united states under secretary of state colin powell actually award the regime i think $41000000.00 in foreign aid. but there were other issues human rights, the status of women. and so the un wasn't going to recognize them until the taliban had. now, in retrospect, conducted an act of economic suicide. after

the taxes, september, the 11th 2001, the united states invaded afghanistan. in a matter of weeks, the taliban were pushed back into isolated zones, doomed to disappear that patiently. little by little they recon could the land by encouraging the cultivation of opium poppy, a miraculous source of funds for the rebirth of that movement. ah, colombian asked ace

the scramble for coca would change the fate of another armed group. the fog, a marxist gorilla group, fought for a fair distribution of land active on a few fronts. but with meagre means, they would extort large landowners and kidnapped them for ransom. but in the mid nineties far guerrillas adapted to the changing times without looking now my concern about going commonly can. we does also because it abode yegell breezy barrett. i ain't gone. trail, not a graphic overgrown peddler. i will lose you. but it's, it's your job. us your little calls for k u sitting down the middle. and so they say it's ok to, ah, cultivate coker and being good revolutionaries and trying to build a social base. so they start delivering a variety of public services flush with the money they get from taxing

accepted the game of corruption, orchestrated by the single party, the p. r i in power for 70 years in 2000 mexican shrugged off the authoritarian reign of the p. r i by electing vicinity, folks as president it was the promise of a new era for mexico and the change empower. we shuffled the cards for traffickers, it did break. what i would call the parks mafioso. and that is to say, the a centrally the understanding between the mexican state and the major narcotics trafficking organizations that they were, they were untouchable. they're going to be touch. so a did break that certainty of that you had had for years under the pure or the t r. i acted as a mediator between the cartels once they were gone,

highlands was the only way to weed our competitors. overlapping was soon broke out among all the cartels. give us a moment to like lassie, believe you got no galle regional. no out in a lot, males. but our boy at gwinnett in elbow medical, every guns there may go. the input almost. it includes regular layer medically, but as i said, i'm groversville ah, in this cartel wall, the historic varsity and of trafficking, the sinaloa, was on every front, driven by the insatiable appetite of its leader l. chapel freshly escaped from a high security prison. l chopper guzman is one of the most successful, are drug traffickers ever in history, and his nic burn before chapel was

anti abortion demonstrators have been celebrating in the united states after the supreme court voted in favor of overturning the roe vs wade ruling, which made abortion a constitutional right almost 50 years ago. there was massive disappointment and anger among supporters of abortion rights. after the ruling was announced, you as president joe biden said, it was a sad day for the country. make no mistake. this decision is a combination of a deliberate effort over decades of said, balance of our law. it's a realization of an extreme ideology and a tragic error by the supreme court. in my view, the court has done what is never done before. expressly take away a constitution right to the so fundamental. so many americans are already been recognized. republican members of congress hailed the ruling as

a momentous victory. the people have won a victory. the right to life has been vindicated. the voiceless will finally have a voice. this great nation canal live up to its core principle that all are created equal, not born equal, created equal. at least 5 people have been killed while storming the border separating the spanish enclave of mila from morocco. spain set about $130.00 migrants succeeded in breaching the border after around 2000 made the attempt. dozens of people were injured in the incident. the you in has concluded that israeli security forces fired the shot that killed al jazeera journalist. shitty in a block, me, the you in human rights office says its investigations found the bullet did not come from indiscriminate firing by armed palestinians, as initially claimed why israeli authorities, the governor of ukraine's eastern new haunts region,

they got involved and more you had to pay. they had to pay the surface to the army, unable to fight on every front, left the sinaloa cartel to prosper. by the end of the bloody wars and chapel had expanded his own of influence to tijuana, and sued at why has he lost all day in the harris? he thought. but at that that, these mean we'd love you, linda grizzle, da, contrapuntal since love. you lindsey and muscle, i'm in the same man global in law for massacre, but as he was at the roses, gabby yard could either see no k o mental yeoman thought bo let in a man. then that may not wendy that he was asked. i give that her name, elizabeth, that i might be at the start of the 2, thousands the u. s. and columbia also chose the military option. they elaborated

the most extensive planned for battling drug trafficking, plan colombia, $4000000000.00 over 5 years. hundreds of american advisors revamped the colombian army bolstered by these new means columbia turned away from its initial goal. the main traffickers, paramilitaries allies of the state were not targeted. the plan against drugs became a war plan. bogota poured everything it had into fighting its main enemy. the fought, garrulous, active, and nearly half of the country is, sir. oh, seeds us young. st. cleaner in power. bill is talbert meadows, m pearson, and at that he thought you were going to have that he thought he only can see to

cocaine cells over a $120000.00 on the streets of new york $300.00 times its base price. ready in columbia, co castille finance, his dozens of armed groups. ready they are the distant successes of the great cattails. direct descendants of the power him in a tree. factions. o fox, who refused the historic p. stale in 2016 for they think that what dying of they are are going to liberal anglo lonia helping in the michael gain . again, hunger seeing embody going was a gamble as he goes will ford get loaded gun? he's as you and i 3 me not it go yet in the mails. see venus he applicant was helen . so though yes them will. soon as he doesn't complicate, i defeated, lemony had gone with them or the case thus it can take with you or the cook up when direct you i don't that are is fiona county. i causes kennesaw throws no. so i was como comments or let just he didn't know the more the girl was with kaiser happening. that is i'm it

as long as drug crop scro, criminal or insurgent movements can take possession of them in afghanistan, the u. s. underestimated this latent danger. after driving the taliban out of power in 2001 washington for the problem with solve. a few years later, the u. s. army was facing a powerful insurrection. taliban had used drug money to enlist thousands of fighters in 2004 under pressure from washington. president ha made cause i declared war against opium. but the ask on president would play against his side. his authority was held only by the fragile coalition of war notes and former mutual hiding who used drug money themselves to run their fife dms. of course,

or of many people in the afghan government away involved in the direct rates. same as in the, in the other, on the opposing forces. this is not a, she could, everybody knew it. it was not very convenient in those days to talk about it because there are political allies. that's was that was to logic in 2005 in the region of helmand over 9 tons of opium were discovered in the governor's basement president hammond cass. i had to remove him without his revenue, the governor's militia changed sides. his $3000.00 men joined the town of an, an upset, the balance of power. the region of helen then fell into the hands of the taliban, who turned it into the country's leading zone of heroine production. to cut off the talons main source of revenue, the u. s beefed up its military response. u. s. b 52

bombers and u. s. of 22 raptor fighters bomb taliban heroine labs. so here's a, an f $22.00 fighter course about $400000000.00 and a heroine lab which sounds fancy, but really as, as a, a mud brick shed was some rusting tim drums and a, and a cheap electric heater. probably $50.00 worth of equipment where the u. s. uses it's more sophisticated military equipment, all of its targeting and intelligence and research, the drones to modern term movement. you know, the satellite imagery is a, the b $52.00 bomber which is the biggest military plan on the planet. and to, to, to attack these, these, these tin roof sheds with their steel drums is a, i think,

a, a demonstration of the limits of coercion. there is not one case where eradication has bankrupted belligerents or significantly weakened them to made them easier to defeat. people go hungry, they literally don't have anything to eat and they will protest and they will mobilize. and so what happens is that the criminal groups in certain groups like enough gant stan oil in columbia, get a lot of political capital, people switch allegiance to them. and in fact, no the history of the so called market militancy nexus, narco insurgency, nexus is the disdain to wins against insurgents when it stopped eradicating barbara. after 50 years of war, kabul afghanistan's capital is now home to the world's highest concentration of

drug addicts in the countryside. practically one out of every 2 families is affected by heroin addiction. the country continues to founder ah, in mexico, a century after trafficking 1st began, popular culture celebrates marco's, and their swift rise in society. the small farmers who planted poppies in the last century and the mountains of sinaloa gave birth to traffickers, able to exploit every crack in the system. with drug trafficking organizations can afford the best lawyers. they can afford the best investment brokers. they can afford the best accountants and the security forces. lauren forestman are hugely
