That Old Time Propaganda

Remember that riiiddiiiicuulous piece of propaganda they used to air during 2001 that said that 'if you buy drugs you are funding terrorism'? Holly shit, that commercial was ridiculous. And we all knew it. Especially because the random white teenage kids on the commercial didn't look like your average heroin addicts (the only drug that possibly could come from the middle east). They were IMPLYING that if you buy marijuana that comes from the US and Mexico, it somehow was ending up in Osama Bin Laden's pocket. Anyways, that commercial was wac then, and it's even more wac after I found out some information about heroin and afganistan.
Well, apparently Afghanistan WAS a large exporter of opiates, because the government, or lack of, was such a wreck and didn't have a control on the industry there. But then the Taliban took control and banned the growing of poppy seeds in the country*. How do you like that shit? The fucking Taliban ended over 90% of poppy seed growing. Pretty much the opposite of what we are told here at home. Not that the Taliban is some great organization, but credit is due when deserved. Eventually the Taliban lost their control and it was opium growing time again: It was realized that the opiate industry in Afghanistan was so large and apart of the economy, Afghanistan needed it to function.
Another thing I learned was that when there WAS heroin being produced there, it was rarely ever found in the USA. The heroin they produced was mainly marketed to Europe. Those are facts, but it also helps to use simple logic when evaluating our day to day propaganda. If the Islamic terrorists were such a huge drug cartel focused on smuggling heroin into the united states, why the FUCK would they commit a large scale terrorist attack that would obviously highten the fuck out of border security? Why would they purposely commit actions that would make it harder and riskier to run their alledged drug businuess?
Come on. We give the government a LOT of tax dollars, they can surely come up with some more believable propaganda to keep us all ignorant. Jeez, what do we pay them for!? Fucking slackers.

* Opium was not illegal under Taliban rule. Only the growing of poppies was banned, which began to take it's toll on the opium industry late in Taliban rule when opium exporters' stashes were running dry. Fortunately for the opium industry, was revived when the Taliban was forced to leave and the new regime lifted the ban on growing poppy fields.
