00:00Well, I had a friend at DEA, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and I called him. I said,
00:05listen, I'm going to send you a paper, eyes only. I just want your thoughts on it before
00:09I send it to John Kerry. So he calls me back a couple of days later and he says, buddy,
00:13you know, you're not going to get this paper published, right? I said, why not? He said,
00:17Afghanistan produces 93% of the world's heroin. Almost all of that heroin goes to Iran and Russia
00:24and we want them to be addicted to heroin. It weakens their societies and I never got it
00:29published. Well, fast forward years later. That's disgusting. We've got a fentanyl epidemic in this
00:35country. That fentanyl is coming from China and Mexico. They want us to be addicted to fentanyl
00:40because it weakens our society. And that's why we're in the predicament that we're in.
00:45So you believe that the US government allowed poppy production in Afghanistan in order to
00:50weaken Iran and Russia. I do. And the reason I have come to that conclusion is not because I'm
00:55any smarter than anybody else, but do you know how much of the world's heroin was produced in
01:00Afghanistan in the last year of Taliban rule 2000? Not too much. Zero. None. They didn't grow any,
01:06not only did they not grow any heroin poppy in 2000, they were a net food exporter to Iran and
01:12to
01:12Pakistan. And as soon as we took over, it was all about the heroin. So the idea that it's, um,
01:18that's quite amazing. That is a quite amazing statistic. Terrible.
