The CIA Didn't Just Ignore Heroin—They Helped Ship It. Here's the Proof.
Most people think the global heroin crisis was a law enforcement failure. But what if it was a direct consequence of U.S. Cold War strategy? Alfred W. McCoy, a Yale historian who risked his life in the jungles of Southeast Asia, uncovered the shocking truth: the CIA knowingly allied with drug lords, mafia bosses, and corrupt regimes to fight communism—and in doing so, fueled the heroin epidemic that ravaged America. From Sicily to Marseille to the Golden Triangle, this video traces the hidden pipeline of power and profit. McCoy's 1972 book, *The Politics of Heroin*, reveals how the U.S. government became complicit in the global drug trade, not through corruption, but through cold geopolitical calculus. If you think you know the war on drugs, think again.
