I:
I’ve been meaning to write this for a long time. I put it off because I’ve generally got better things to do than write in English for the dogshit Americans who still think they rule the world. But since some of them are my friends, and I love them very much, I will proceed to tell you the true story of how two anarchist degenerates made the US Empire swallow its own tail.
Before I really get going, you need to know a few things about where I’m writing this. First, it’s an anarchist commune disguised as a peasant farm…
The War in Afghanistan: The real “Crime of the Century” behind the Opioid Crisis
Afghanistan became the globe’s leading narco-state under NATO occupation which accounts for more than 90% of global opium production that is used to make heroin and other narcotics.
US to Blame for Spike in Opium Production in Afghanistan ...Under the previous Taliban administration the heroin industry was severely curtailed where they ruled. Indeed there have been allegations that the US occupation was influenced by the secret drugs lobbies as much as by a desire for revenge for the 9/11 bombings, which in reality had little to do with Afghanistan or the Taliban.
According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), poppy cultivation in the Islamic Republic increased by 37% last year alone.

At the same time, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that heroin use in the U.S. more than doubled among young adults in the last ten years, while 45% of heroin users were said to be hooked on prescription opioid painkillers as well.
Good news for a change! After more than two years, the verdict for four anarchists and one environmentalist was acquittal; only one of them was recognized guilty for small offenses, and the court dropped his punishment.
The main charges concerned the support and promotion of the Network of Revolutionary cells (SRB), insurrectional anarchism, as well as blackmail and harm of others property. SRB focused for several years on sabotage of the property of police and capitalists.
So far, no one was convicted and condemned for these actions.
The defendant Lukáš Borl admittedly confessed to spraying the walls of prison lettering “desire for freedom the repression will not stop” and “death to the state”.
He also admitted that he was identifying by amended identity documents. The damage he caused to the prison, he paid. The Court in these two points acknowledged Borl guilty, but dropped his punishment.
According to the Head of Senate, Dagmar Šebková the crimes were not serious and also happened a long time ago.
The prosecutor Václav Richter demanded for all without distinction imprisonment for the duration of three years, which would be conditionally postponed to the probationary period of three years.
However, the court liberated the defendants. The judgment was not declared competent, the prosecutor appealed.
