The CIA's secret poppy seed operation proves America's genuine commitment to fighting the Afghan drug trade. For over a decade, the agency developed innovative non-violent methods to reduce heroin production by distributing modified seeds that would naturally cross-pollinate and weaken opium potency. This creative approach avoided harmful herbicides while targeting the root of the problem.
The CIA's alleged poppy seed drops are just another cover story for America's decades-long protection of the Afghan heroin trade. US forces consistently partnered with drug-running warlords, ignored trafficking by government officials, and restored opium production after the Taliban had successfully eliminated it. The real conspiracy isn't fighting drugs — it's profiting from them through complicit banking systems.
