Pepe Escobar On The CIA Heroin Trade

Everywhere the CIA goes, drugs come back. In March of this year we took a look at the work of Professor Alfred McCoy, author of “The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia”. Portions of a lengthy article by McCoy are reproduced in the article at this link: http://www.covertbookreport.com/professor-alfred-mccoy-on-the-politics-of-heroin/ (Excerpt) “Once the mujahedeen fighters brought the […]

At nearly 300 pages (my copy), it […]

    Did Jack Scott Radicalize NBA Star Bill Walton? Sadly, we have to note that Bill Walton (and Jack Scott) are no longer living. Walton was a hero for many where I grew up in Portland, Oregon. He was the star of an NBA championship, which I pretty much didn’t care about. Later, Walton was doing […]
