Whenever the CIA gets brought up I can't help but mention their complacency in the global drug trade. In the 70s we learned that the CIA was trafficking heroin from Southeast Asia via Air America, an airliner they covertly owned and operated. [1] We also learned from programs like Project MKUltra that the CIA was forcibly administering LSD on American citizens. [2] Operation Midnight Climax was a sub-project of MKUltra. The CIA hired prostitutes who were instructed to lure back clients to government safe houses in San Francisco, New York City, and Marin. There they would be injected with a wide range of substances such as LSD and watched behind a one-way glass. These are not conspiracy theories. They are well-documented facts that everyone seems to forget about. If your interested in this stuff I suggest you read the books The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade [4] and Acid Dreams: The Complete Social History of LSD: The CIA, the Sixties, and Beyond [5].
