oh, it seems Afghan opium production, which multiplied under American occupation of Afghanistan - has finally reached the US.... Jake, I'm surprized it was not you who posted this article... ![]() It's time for you to repeat "Russia sucks", I suppose ![]() Though, tripling of drugs caused deaths just within 4 years is quite impressive, another several years of such economic recovery and you will reach Russian catastrophe of 90s.... and by the time when US debt pyramid funally collapses all who would die in turbulence, chaos and hunger would have been already dead. Good choice!

![]() FILE - In this Aug. 3, 2015 file photo, a photograph of murdered photojournalist Ruben Espinosa sits among flowers and candles in front of his casket inside a funeral home before his wake begins in Mexico City. Mexico’s surveillance scandal widened Wednesday, August 2 2017, to encompass a pair of prominent human rights attorneys probing a multiple homicide case whose victims include a photojournalist and an activist. The internet watchdog Citizen Lab said Karla Micheel Salas and David Pena were targeted in 2015, weeks after they questioned prosecutors’ handling of the killings of activist Nadia Vera, journalist Ruben Espinosa and three other women in a Mexico City apartment in July that year. The victims were tortured and shot to death. (AP Photo/Marco Ugarte, File) |

Tecoman was once a wonderful place. For more than 60 years my industry maintained off season winter operations there. The increased violence in the area prompted the decision to shut down the program and move it to Costa Rica. Edited by ringotuna, Aug 23 2017, 06:07 AM.

After Declaring Opioid Crisis A National Emergency, Trump Sends More Troops To Guard Afghan Poppies

The Reflections treatment center looked like just the place for her youngest daughter to kick heroin. “It looked fine. They were saying all the right things to me. I could not help my child so I trusted them to help my child,” Holley said. Instead, the center refused to give 19-year-old Jaime Holley her prescription medicine when she left, forcing her to use illegal drugs to avoid acute withdrawal symptoms, her mother said.
