    CIA is behind drug trafficking from Latin America to the US, and they use the money as an untraceable fund for their most covert operations. Edit: I was wrong and it is well confirmed that this happens

      I considered adding this, but it’s too confirmed. (Notice my title) I’d say a less confirmed claim related would be they simultaneously used the coke to intentionally start the crack cocaine epidemic so they could increase surveillance of marginalized communities.

        Not just surveillance, but to drive apart the black and left communities including The Panthers through addiction and increase socially accepted criminality of the black and left communites. It bleeds into the entire war on drugs. One should look at the number of people in prisons before and after the war on drugs and then examine if one still supports fear, loathing, and hatred for the so-called guilty in this country. In many cases guilty in America is to be a hero in places such as Russia or China. The morality has inverted with the disposition of power balance.

      Gary Webb (as others pointed out) and the book The Politics of Heroin will show how the CIA is connected to drug trafficking
