[rackopschief]

Does anybody know if her is related to a LtCol Jimmy Christmas?

[Scot808080]

What bullshit! If they were really worried bout the farmers, they would have them grow food and the government could make up the loss, at tax payees expense of course, just as they want other countries to join in the future Iran war, they said they'd pick up the bill. Ron Paul 2012!!

[altgeldrarities]

I guess the CIA is going to get some competition in the drug importing business. The military supplies the poppy seeds and airlifts out the heroine base, the CIA pays the war lords in Afghanistan and in Congress, and the prison industrial complex along with the ATF, FBI, DEA, Attorney General's office, US Marshals, get rewarded with fat budget hikes, kickbacks & confiscated property. The American sheeple pay the DEA to maintain high drug prices which helps supply victims to the prison industry.

[TheUltraNinja]

What a joke!

[AbuBishir]

Afghanistan is now the top Opium producer in the world now.

[criminalogic613]

COMPLETE LIE!!

THA TALIBAN WAS OPENLY AND ACTIVELY DESTROYING POPPY FIELDS UNTIL THA US INVADED BEFORE 911. THA C.I.A FUNDS THESE POPY FIELDS WITH PROFITS BEING DEPOSITED INTO WESTERN BANK ACCOUNTS!!

BEFORE 911 AFGHANISTAN PRODUCED 6% OF THA WORLDS OPIUM.. NOW THEY PRODUCE 95%

DONT FALL FOR MODERN DAY PROPAGANDA..

REFFER MADDNESS ALL OVER AGAIN

I don't see why destroying their crops would even be an option, whats wrong with this country...

[sss7773]

John Rembo, probably, has returned to the companions from the Taliban and kills the American aggressors

[thodal2000]

WTF he's blaming opium growing on the Taliban??? They almost eradication it till we invaded.

[StarryEyesDream]

LOL a visit from Prince Charles?? The drug lord hahahahaha .. that gives it away right there. Read thru the lines people .. WAKE UP!!

[Lookup2Wakeup]

@StarryEyesDream

He will get another medal from his mon to pin on his chest for that no doubt . LoL!

[nicklisajason]

wake up people////// stop the wars .save america /freedom//vote ron paul

[ronheri]

The CIA needs that drug money for Black Ops. Wall St. launders the money, the justice Dept. incarcerates the inner-city folks who get hooked and arrested, the banksters build for profit prisons (mo money). Thats why the Feds don't want to legalize drugs...heck its the Golden Goose. What a great system we have in America?

[MegaRain8]

Why weren't we destroying these fields if we aren't supporting the Rothschild drug Heroin industry? (ie, Golden Crescent) The real taliban was destroying the poppy fields...Fuck this double speak bullshit...

[LazlosPlane]

Right. The U.S. Military is afraid of a civilian backlash. . . LMFAO.

"It's part of the culture. . ." so is living, you asshole.

awww....all they are doing is making sure us americans can continue to make Lemon poppy seed muffins :p..................don't ass hurt me, im just joking.........

[okomi]

hahaahahahaa ohhhh Americans do you believe this? if you do please please ... I don't know, just hurt your self because you are the most dangerous people in the world, you are dead stupid and you have a big army BAD COMBINATION.

[anainutta]

the god damn Army "tolerates" the cultivation of a plant they know heroin and opium will be produced from, and WILL kill someone. meanwhile the police in the u.s., (of which, many now are former combat troops), will S.W.A.T. team raid your house over a suspested drug ring, and put 60 bullets in you for defending you home in which they were able to find no drugs. these people are mentally unstable and need to be dealt with for what they are. Jose Guerrena was murdered by trigger happy thugs!!!!!!

[virtualrealityknows]

LIES, LIES, and more LIES from FOX Scum Network. It's already been proven, even by NATO and various reports that the Taliban, the REAL Taliban, not CIA Taliban, but the real Taliban practically wiped out the opium industry.

Who believes this government Fox News PR machine of CIA propaganda crap? I consider FOX to be like Comedy Central, but without comedy,

[ssdivizion]

@virtualrealityknows So why then the REAL and powerful American aviation does not burn poppy fields above? They have satellites that can measure the length of your cock while you piss not to mention a poppy field!!!

[counterstrikenerd321]

Rofl Heraldo, He got his nose fucked up in his show.

[topazrain]

This is complete BS! who would believe that US military is guarding heroin crops. Get off the fluoride and the xanax long enough to wake up and see that this is a billions of dollars business ran by the bankers and the NWO and we are all allowing it to happen. the us govt is into drug distribution and gun running. This is a mafia syndicate not a government

[res8898]

If we legalize all drugs or at least give the power to the states they will no longer be able to profit from it like they do. People should be free to choose for themselves, companies can decide who they like to employ and institutions can be set up for people who want help getting off of drugs, but the choice should be the peoples, not the scum bag federal governments.

[MyCinder1]

It grinds in his gut cause they eat it

[jolomyte]

Does anyone realize that opium can be grown anywhere. Opium doesn't require any specific climate to grow. The "man" wants us to think that it can only grow in specific climates because they don't want anyone in N. America to pimp out "lady heron" themselves!

[StonedAlexjonesfan]

United States grows gives taliban advanced growing technics like feritlizersetc

They then ship it into Russia ,China ,Canada , United States . Then your kids by it on the streets , get thrown into a Private Prison .He or she then works as a slave labor for 25 cents an hour .Im not bashin our troops at all , most of them are freaking out saying 'man what are doing growing oipium then there buds are like shut up man be quit or they might frag you "

[yippe]

@neymoura So wait. you just told me not to believe what they say, but you'll believe google? Nice contradiction there champion. But no, my facts come from my friends in the military who served over there and my friends ive worked with for the last few years, who lived there.

[Crede06]

Thank You. I'm proud of being an American after watching this. They are showing so much love for those loving poppy fields. May those plants produce some loving heroin that helps many around the world.

[amy2x]

These Marines should be so proud that they are protecting Opium.

[amy2x]

A wonderful group of Drug field watchers! Yes these are wonderful people that grow drugs for USA and other countries.

[Musmilzam]

whatreallyhappened(.)com/ PLEASE check it out all the truth,thank you

[madJedi1]

BOLLOCKS

we FORCE them to grow opium as its the HOLY LAND for good reason.

Before 9-11 they were producing about 6% of the worlds supply... AFTER 9-11 it went up to 70% almost immediately.. we STOLE their stash and force them to grow or DIE.. and now they produce around 92% of the worlds herion supply FACT.

[tehf00n]

geraldo was so under control there it made him look scared

[bambam9969]

When the next false flag hit's the states The big one, will the people still stand for it? you know the one where there going to try to take away your freedom to bare arms. We'll soon see.

[gsus7125]

@bambam9969 Americans will be sitting on their couches eating KFC and diet soda, weighing 300 pounds, they'll see the news of the "next big false flag" on the news, ten seconds in they'll change the channel to American Idol...Then afterward they'll get on youtube and watch a video of a cat dancing in the wreckage of ground zero, as they laugh.

[mywolf2can]

Cia run 500 billion a year in heroin. Blog talk radio. Com host MYWOLF 2 pm cst. Good job u.s.a.grow drugs kill civilians get some marine!

[TPBXDRicky420]

3rd Battalion 6th Marines AKA Heroin Growers.

[cusanusnicolas]

Don't buy the story, I observed high school and college kids as emplyees coerced into smoking crack/crank/pot through federally subsidized employment under surveillance from the DOJ adjacent. WAMU bank was laundering the money, contractors for the business front was mostly big pharma. I believe there was also an attempt on my life during that time, they tried to twist me into these drugs as well, a really bad choice because I was well educated and older. 3 Christian friends nearly died, too.

[MockEmpire]

death to nooze, death to the new world pig empire,

[esh1]

Apparently some Afghanistani talibans or whoever regime they were, eradicated opium production and use of drugs entirely and got a award from our government in the late 90's but in 2009 or 2010, Afghanistan opium accounted for 90% of total opium traded in the world, 90%!!!, another Gold medal they earned along with corruption and many other things. Just goes to show why the war on drugs is absolutely necessary on the Mexican borders while opium out of Afghanistan is shipped out like candy

[calumcoburn]

"Part of their culture' Colonel?!? Then explain why in 2001 2002 the Taliban enforced eradication of opium was almost perfect. Explain how since the US and UK 'liberated' Afghanistan, they have become one of the biggest producers in the world. What disinformation BS!

[janman27]

afganistan went from 10% of the worlds production to 90% since the war started ,.P

[JEezo101]

@tallak They have for a long long time...

[SLINGSHOTandMOLOTOWS]

Yea the tallibans tried to end the opium growing but America dident like that!

[GreatGoose100]

haha, its funny when newscasters try to play things off as a good thing. Last time i checked growing and guarding opium so you can sell it to the public was bad. Drugs are bad mmmkay. xcept weed, which is given a horrible rap when it has countless medicinal advantages

[Beowulfsonur]

@zebb1111....Very true...

[ludovick691]

The cia in the 80 told Bin Laden to tell his friend to grow opium instead of hash because the us had a need for it.

[maria610421]

oh please, people have forgotten the Jews & the British soldiers in the Opium Trade the Drugs they used to destroy China, and got hold of Hon Kong, years back people need to google it. Its not the first time this has happend.

[FishlegsJones]

so this is how we're gonna win The War On Drugs?

our tax dollars being spent and our troops risking their lives to grow the very same drugs that americans will get locked in a cage for possessing tiny amounts of.

[delarhuc]

@FishlegsJones The War on Drugs is part of your brainwashing my friend. America is the biggest drug dealer in the world. Your country ships in it's own drugs from South America and Afghanistan. Use your brain. Listen to ex-DEA agents that have came out. The US and Britain grow opium in Afghanistan and ship it out of the country.

[ailedbyfate]

Korn - Hypocrite

[tga3]

Corn, wheat, cotton, and watermelon.........isn't $1000 an ounce!

INSANE!!!!

[schlubber215]

It's telling the Prince CHarles, of the British Royal crime family, visited the uniformed drug manufacturers in this so-called news piece. The scumbag British royal crime family is the number one crime family in the world and are behind the majority of the world´s drug trade.

[schlubber215]

The US government is the drug supplier. Lt Colonel Brian Christmas and his men are traitors to their country and should be tried and executed. They are scum. They're growing and shipping drugs to america for profit and they expect us to believe that the military doesn´t destroy the drug crop because they don´t want to turn the population against the military? They don´t care about bombing and killing thousands of innocents, but worry about hurting drugs for making the populace angry? Bullsh*t!

[AlicelnWonderIand]

USA = King of destruction !

What about creation ?

[jlbaptista]

Least we not forget the poppy fields are US controlled and operated for profit by US agencies. Least we not forget. Many have died for these poppies.

[johnnynoirman]

Now i've heard everything...hehehe

This situation is worse than when U.S. ARMY had deal with the mafia during the invasion of Italy during WW11!!!!

[phliperphil]

us government is the biggest dope dealers in the world /..They control all of the drug trade in the entire worldand if you did not know that than you are one of the sheeple

[AnnoyingTypoSyndrome]

Yep, as predicted by the "CONSPIRACY THEORISTS", the US govt went into afghanistan, NOT to fight the drugs trade (remember Bush saying 90% of the worlds heroin came from there, as though he was sending the army in, to stop it?), but to fight for CONTROL of the drugs trade !

Perhaps the taliban wanted too much money, or were going to stop the drugs, who knows ?

But one things for sure - its OVERSEEN BY THE USA, now !!

Obama is the worlds biggest DRUG DEALER !

Amazing !

[chickenmonkey78]

u.s. military will go into N. Cali and destroy harmless cannabis even though that's their culture there. but then at the same time go to Afghanistan and help grow the heroin export from 10% to over 90%. while stating "we have to help. its their culture." the owners of our military own the worlds opiates now too.

**thats just great...** < sarcasm

[SubZero1703]

AL' CIA!!!!!!!!! DA , CIA havent even got a handler. They do what they want when they want.

[13CIRCLE]

Look at Geraldo - what a fucking piece of crap lowlife.....he knows the score. 

[legalizethegreen]

gotta love the 21st century FOX

[lilsm555]

You cant grow a marijuana plant but the government sure as hell can sell 90% of the worlds opium to people. What a bunch of drug dealers /spit this country is a disaster.

[lsnglsmoises]

Classic Scene - Blood In Blood Out

[lsnglsmoises]

Boyz in the hood genterfication scene they are tring to kill us

[KripDrip]

How can they go to another country and disrupt there culture I mean seriously it's like people from Afghanistan coming to Britain or America and destroying all the alcoholic manufacturers and bars and saying alcohol consumption is to be denounced and made unavailable!

[KripDrip]

where is heroin legal?

[goruu]

16 people including tallak didn't watch the entire video and drew instantaneous conclusio9n.

[jssemi]

@Robstailey Growing the poppies isn't illegal, turning them into heroin is, I'm aware of that.

[KripDrip]

both are illegal!

[Robstailey]

@tallak

the CIA already controls the crack flow

[skuloop]

the government are the drug dealers, keep it illegal to keep prices high. simple economics...

[oneslifesadream]

Talk about putting words in his mouth.

[23mbtx23]

HOW OBVIOUS IS THIS.. our troops are there just for OPIUM... the bankers are raping our country. they ship in the heroin they catch a kid with a dolla baloon of it and put him injail where he works at slave labor prices.. o yeah the bankers own the prisons too.. they control the federal reserve and the currency. they control both political parties.. they use CIA operated AL Qaeda to stage events to move into countrys for OPIUM or OIL or whatever they want.. its soo obvious

[omanuder]

@tallak And NOW? They've been doing it for years! How do you think crack cocaine became such an epidemic?

[jssemi]

How can they go to another country and disrupt there culture I mean seriously it's like people from Afghanistan coming to Britain or America and ceasing control over all alcoholic manufacturers and saying alcohol consumption is to be denounced and made unavailable!

[maracanazo50]

Water Melon... Lol that was funny!

[AdamRainStopper]

Yep, he bought every last one of those little gizmos, cause he cares so deeply. That's why the CIA took over the majority of the international yayo trade in the '80. They too care deeply, about.....uh.....blow. At least there was an undertone of sarcasm in Geraldo's voice, usually he's pretty naive and willing to chalk up whatever the penta-gogue tells him as the mustbe-truth.

[altocumulas]

i never made the other two comments and while i am here... troops guarding heroin fields and i get busted with a jiont ...arzz holes this vid is a crock of scat

[zebb1111]

ahhh, pardon me but didnt the taliban destroy the opium fields during their reign. they are muslims, that would be like some fundamentalist christian selling heroin....no?

provides money for black opps. always did.

[rdatlasmbrd]

@zebb1111 yep they sure did and got rid of porn, prostutitioun and alcohol! interesting ain't it.

[yippe]

@zebb1111 No they did'nt. Its been proven that the taliban would get the farmers to grow the poppy, because this where alot of the money came from to supply them with arms.

[zebb1111]

@yippe proven by who exactly? the same people who told you that iraq had weapons of mass destruction?

or that the gulf oil was all gone.

you know, i wish i believed what they told me, i would be a lot less depressed.

good luck with that.

[yippe]

@zebb1111 You're kidding right? im not sure how old you are, but it has been common knowledge of the opium fields for many many years. long before our allies invaded iraq or afgan. And you're talking about two completely different things here. Dont get me wrong i totally applaude you for forming your own opinion, and not listening to a sensationalist media, but comparing the bush admin who "needed" a reason to invade, to what has been a factual situation for sometime is incorrect.

[seraph101]

@zebb1111 Yeah they destroyed nearly all the fields.

[zonsb]

@zebb1111 That's right, as violent as the Taliban were/are, which the Taliban was put in place by the CIA to fight the Rusians back in the early 1980s, the Taliban destroyed/eradicated 95% of the poppy fields. Then under President Bush the US military goes to war in Afghanistan and within six years the poppy fields are back to full production.

[jred7]

@zebb1111 Hey man, plz pardon me, but the Taliban is NOT Islam. Consider the numerous "christian" cults out there that have a charismatic leader who encourages his followers to do things that are deviant, or even illegal. He went to seminary, so they revere him as some sort of prophet or someone of higher intellect. Eventually nobody in the group chalenges him because of the mob mentality. Check out the book, Son of Hamas. The author talks about how leaders go against Qu'ran all the time.

[zebb1111]

@jred7 i didnt say they were "islam". but they are most certainly a muslim construct. im sure they dont drink and they dont smoke. they might even try to shoot up an old buhdist idol. loll

[vutube379]

@zebb1111 Thanks for pointing that out the TRUTH THAT THE TALIBAN DESTOYED ITS OPIUM FIELDS to everyone. FOX NEWS the propaganda machine never rests..

[okay2122007]

nothing shocking, if you trust your government, you are not a student of history.

if you have an opiate addiction please research iboga.

[mcc11505]

Bring the Troops Home! Thanks for sharing this & allowing comments too. I volunteer for a drug help for 2 years, every call I have taken except 2, have been about Heroin. i.e. = "Help me I'm addicted to Heroin." St Louis Missouri is infested with Heroin dealers, & dope comes from Afghanistan first, Mexico second.

[altocumulas]

giver grower pay then destroy

[altocumulas]

why cann't ya give the farers pay for not growinng or or or pay grower to destroy destroy face ir USA is supporting heroin trade
