- Hezbollah is a Lebanese terrorist organisation and the political party responsible for deadly attacks all over the world. This is the story of how they became major players not just in the Middle East hash trade, but in the global cocaine and amphetamine business - trafficking tons of drugs across the world, and laundering hundreds of millions of dollars for South American cartels.
Even murkier is how a major DEA investigation into these activities was allegedly undermined by the CIA and the White House - leading agents from different agencies to all end up accusing each other of endangering national security.

I haven't seen one of his 'War On Drugs,' videos - in a while.
Please don't get rid of this series.

I started doing drugs years ago as a teenage, got addicted to meth. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Was also diagnosed with cptsd. Meth addiction actually destroyed my life. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 3 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
Yes Dr.alishrooms
Congrats! I'm really happy for you that your mom decided to help you. I always admire those who beat their addiction. Knowing it's possible to fix your life knowing there's people out there that have done what I thought was impossible gives me hope I will make it through as well. Those who share their experiences don't know how much it helps when you're about to give up, it gives you the strength knowing somone who actully know what it's like to go through this tell you it's possible, it's not the same somone telling you you can do it when they have no idea what it's like, but hearing somone who knows what it's like that helps a lot since you understand it firsthand and made it out gives so much hope. so thanks for sharing.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
"We would like to congratulate drugs on winning the war on drugs"
Ok, CONGRATULATIONS
I told that to a Colombian and the look I got was horror and bewilderment. That joke hits differently there I guess
Oh I wonder where you stole that from??!!
@@sn1ffy85 it's not called "stealing" you idiot, it's called "re-posting". People quote other people all the time, if it upsets you go to the cooking channel.
Why did the war on drugs start
*Governments are much bigger at this game than any cartel will ever be*
Bla bla bla bla
You got that right. I used to watch bales of drugs being delivered, by school buses, to a local naval base in the Caribbean. Centre of operations was moved, since the 2010 earthquake, to Haiti I believe.
That is due to cartels taking over the government.
"trafficking drugs to non believers is ok" I love the mental gymnastics involved here
Islam allows any and all activities that can potentially weaken or destroy groups that which it considers enemy or rival. In Islam, there is no moral code when it comes to non Muslims.
Classic muslim BS
these terrorists claim Islam but have extremist views and beliefs
You do realise the guy they showed in the video said it's all forbidden in Islam while the one saying they allow it to non believers is the vice reporter just spouting a claim he didn't pack whatsoever with any source
Maybe the reasoning is they get to "corrupt" the buyers with drugs while funding their group?
The DEA ”A group of drugdealers investigating a group of drugdealers”
"The War on Drugs" in the U.S is an annual $100 Billion Dollar Industry. Taxpayer dollars are lobbied for, budgeted and used to fund the Criminal Justice System, employs millions of people, in numerous local, state and federal agencies, and funds thousands of contracts to corporations, dedicated to this operation.
Illegal drugs in and from foreign countries are an integral mainstay of The United States economy.
The War on Drugs is the real Crime here...
Not forgetting the $$$ being made on supplying guns and ammunition to the cartels...that flow is uninterrupted from the US.
Brainwashed. This is what enemies of this country wants US population believe about the state institutions. It’s a very simple tactic. Erode social trust and the country will collapse from within. Everyone should know this and understand that drugs today is a weapon of indirect action and defense apparatus of the country should treat individuals involved as enemy combatants.
Biggest military in the world thousand government agencies,border patrol ect seem like they are allowing it.
Yuppp it’s part of our economy, the drugs will never stop

A world held hostage by black market nukes that will be created by Iran is a far worse scenario than a world where individuals have a choice in their addiction.. 💡 A lesser of two evils but I 100% agree with their decision..
No matter how bad the world wants to paint cartels and gang members as the bad guys, we know that it's really the people who work for these governments, militaries, or police forces, that are doing so much worse. Corruption at the top is what fuels these problems
I thought governments, militaries, and police forces were all cartels and gangs. Red, blue, green what else could those colors mean. If they weren’t gang colors?
Name checks out.
no it's the fact that people including cops and officials want to have fun once in a while... sobriety is the most boring miserable thing ever for more people than you'd think and trying to oppress people for it only makes it more dangerous and profitable
@@cabezadepija7318 that's good ol judeo-christian values for you with a pinch of puritanism.
funny how you say this, since the cia is the reason mexico is so fucked right now... if they never funded cartels in mexico it wouldve most likely been stable now.
Thanks for sharing this!
We didn't try to fix it. We went into business with them.
And now you libs promote use with safe drug using facilities. Good job.

Exactly. Cia is the biggest drug cartel in the world by far.

Absolute favorite series on YT
Excellent news feed.
title fix: "how the U.S. funded and armed narco-terrorists"
Perfect 👍
Exxxactly. I was like the Title is click bait. The US never tried 😂😂
Title fix: "How the US govt and corporations make money from the illegal drug trade"
Pergect
Seems like a list of Israels enemas so far, hezbullah, syria, Iran.
Seems like a nice young man, shame he's a shill
"trafficking drugs to non believers is ok".💯 Thank you vice for being brave and exposing the cult. ❤
This is a ridiculous video .. the guys shooting in Begining aren’t Lebanese or in Lebanon . Vice used the hesbollah name as clickbait cuz the organization would never give them an interview secondly . Just because there’s a drug organization mafia who happens to be Shia doesn’t automatically make them hesbollwh connected like this video is suggesting
Honestly I think the people at the top of these groups aren't even believers( at least not fanatical) they just use the religion to manipulate like (not all) many religious leaders do
Don't do drugs then 😂
Literally isnt even true lmaooo even touching drugs is haram but go off
So you judge islam by what some drug addicts do,Interesting.Try learn instead what islam says about these things.
Very informative, the DEA vs CIA dispute in the Cassandra operation. Case in point: In 2022 the US Treasury sanctioned former president of Paraguay Horacio Cartes under the Magnitsky Act, accusing him of laundering drug money for Hezbollah.The guy owns a few banks and basically half of the countrie's big business. The US government repeatedly threatened to deport the him to America to undergo trial and there was even an airplane sent to Paraguay to allegedly fly him back to the US . But a year has gone by and he is still alive and kicking. This really baffled me, until I saw this video.
Great to see another episode of this series
Just legalize, tax and regulate most drugs like we do with alcohol and tobacco. Decriminalize the most harmful others. And have rehabilitation treatment centres available as part of a universal healthcare system. Therapy in general needs to be universalized too. Better than leaving it up to the dark market.
No, its better to fuel war and let the mafia all over the world to take all the drug money and finance all their activities with it... Why would you take the market for yourself and take all that profit from mafia? Poor mafia guys... /s
Goverments and in general goverment people hate to pay taxes , so drugs being ilegal it benefits every country leader cause the money is untraceable . Or you believe that if they wanted , the " so nice people " that they so much care for us they can't stop the drug trafficing ? Srsly you believe that they CAN'T ? Or you believe they just DON'T WANT TO . If you had a successful bussiness for the last 40 years would you change it ? ( legalize it) ofc not , it's all about the money the profit and the numbers going up .
Useless approach that never works, it's why there's homeless drug addicts all over liberal cities
And all those making hundreds of millions upon billions out of the current drug war, would either have to adopt the industry transfer or lose to others forcing the adoption. It is in itself a war on morality and ethics and psychopathic power plays.
But I am fully all for this too, but that would never ever ever happen. Ever.
A bit hard to counter something you helped established
This is a terrific report
Man I have missed these episodes. So good!
To answer that question: The US either failed to take out their competition or they are secretly working together.
Its been a while since I watched a program like this from Vice, glad its making a comeback
your videos are amazing bro
It’s time we admit the war on drugs is a complete failure
If the war in the Middle East taught us anything is that once an organization gets aid from the US to establish itself in power, it will be next to impossible to take them down
All US wars just lead to worsen the situation big time. Destabilizstion is what us is all about. Funny how they consider them selves the world police when all they do is fueling drugtrades and spreading terror. The country with the heaviest collective deathkarma in the world for sure. Glad to not be american when its time to collect the collective karma...
It will take some time to get rid of the DEA for good.
@@kinngrimmhopefully not
@@kinngrimmhopefully all the agencies meddling that further help the problem persist and they all watch out for eachother not out of cooperation but from blackmail from what some ex DEA agents have said about their life being threatened. Also it should be noted how the war in the Middle East ended, the country was handed over to the taliban who used to be the mujahadeen with new equipment to run their government with the agreement that the US would still have access to its opium, that should tell us something as to how this problem will most likely be “solved” here. This whole mess gets shadier and darker the more you look into the past starting from when Mexican cartels started having deals with governments both Mexican and US agencies like CIA when the CIA needed to raise black budget funds without notifying congress of their dealings to fight the Sandinistas in El Salvador against communism
If by that you mean Israel, yeah.
Great to see Vice going Vice again 🙌

This is by far my favorite Vice program. Always good information. One thing you left out post 9/11 US soldiers guarding and paying for destroyed or planted poppy fields. We all saw it on actual news and other documentation. Gotta wonder with our countries history of running drugs. End the drug war end mass incarceration.
Why do you think we destroyed poppy fields the same time we picked up trade with Asiatic countries, such as VIETNAM. We got that good smack from there, we don't need any afghan pure.
It's almost like when you destabilize an entire region of the world they retaliate. It's almost like they didn't fly planes into buildings because they felt like it.
Don't forget selling those "confiscated" farms to the Sacklers
So to start selling drugs for their own profit??
Or the duffle bags FULL OF CASH coming back stateside unsearched for decades.....how does a man get a GTR in 6 months in Afghanistan 😂
Fentanyl was made in MIT and Janet Woodcock authorized it for safe use in children in the FDA before retracting that deco on a month later.
Fentanyl is used in hospital settings and prescribed for serious pain there is nothing wrong with it when the dose is known and monitored by professionals
The issue is when it is not regulated and produced on the black market as the strength of the product is unknown it’s a clear example of the increase in danger with current United States drug policy
Regardless it is true the United States is at fault for the fentanyl crisis due to how they approached the opioid crisis years ago
They should have provided safe supply when the heroin epidemic was raging and people wouldn’t have moved to fentanyl as heroin is a preferred drug but isn’t available
By now they would have seen decreases in overdoses addiction and crime rates rather than increases
Our problem is our world is so dysfunctionally stressful, unbalanced and thus depriving the human soul of true happiness that many (myself included) have looked to drugs as a form of temporary happiness and relief. Without consumers. There is no demand. The problem is the addiction. It’s us. Yes the world has fucked us. But it still starts with us. Genuine happiness is still plausible even with the cards stacked against. We’re just gonna have to work/want it harder and we can’t do it alone. All glory to Jah.
The united states isnt trying to stop it though.😂😂🤦♂️🤦♂️

As bad as the 80s American CIA & DEA missions in Central America with coke, as it is, it is also just ONE of the times the public knows about.

This is a perfect example of how “diplomacy at any cost” undermines American interests and national security. Bravo to Vice for covering this.
The US has never followed that.
Naw, the Iran deal was very valuable and worth the drug hassle because the solution to the drug problem is elsewhere, namely to make all drugs legal and thereby removing the breeding ground for illegal drug trade.
@@romanski5811 "namely to make all drugs legal and thereby removing the breeding ground for illegal drug trade."
That is exactly why there is a Black Market. You can't "win" a war on drugs. If people want them, someone will sell it to them.
*By banning them you create "the breeding ground for illegal drug trade"!*
exactly what is he talking about and. the Us is behing thease groups and the US calls anybody they don't like a terriostt organztion@@bobhappyman
"Odd" how an investigation carried out by US intelligence agencies lends itself to eternal, inevitable conflict.
The war on drugs is so astonishingly senseless, so abundantly misrepresented, abusive and counter productive it defies description. Legalize "everything". The pros vs the cons are virtually 100-0.
Baffling to think how many trillions and trillions of dollars we've wasted fighting something people have done since Neanderthal times, probably sooner. I'd imagine between all the people who work the border and port inspections, all the non violent dealers in prison and the lost taxes, we're blowing 200+ billion easily every year.
It's hard to take down anything that your own people actively fund.

The US was guarding poppy fields in Afghanistan. 😂
First they burned them down which inadvertently created a power vacuum that fuel more violence because the poppies where/are a big part of the culture/economy. After learning that hard lesson they allowed the fields to be grown

The US doesn't like competition.
This is what happens when the US resorts to sanctions to squeeze them. Instead of destroying them, they thrive outside the regular economic system.
Wait you suggesting USA invade Lebanon and Iran? Cause that is really a dumb idea.
Speaking as a syrian 😅 the US’s foreign policy pushed the regime to do such things since they control syrian oil reserves. Which makes them thugs for steeling it ! + this has been going on for years now and it looks like they want a cut from that too 😂 but uf u rly want to know how it all started. Go back and take a look at ISIS ! How brutal they were ! That is what captagon makes to a human being. In order to fight tgose basters they had to make some for the syrian army as well. Don’t be fooled by this shitty media that makes you forget who crushed those MFs and who payed the price for it. Oh and one last thing 😅 they all had american made state of the art weapons what a fucking coincidence 😉
@@FauulaBoy Did I actually write that in my comments? Because it looks like you didn't read the comment and that's a really dumb idea.
@@Pascal9004 You literally said to destroy them instead of sanctioning them. Hesbulla is part of the government to destroy them USA would have to invade Lebanon. Just like how they tried to destroy the Taliban which was the Government of Afghanistan before USA invasion and we all know how that result of that.
@@FauulaBoy I think you misunderstood my comment. I meant that the US wanted to destroy those nations through sanctions, but instead, those nations thrived outside the normal economic system. Instead of wiping out the threat, the US made them more dangerous. The terrorist groups can create entire industries outside regulation because of those sanctions in the first place.

Been to several cocaine producing countries. The problem (supply) only shifts from region to region, but will never disappear as long as demand exists. Very simple market economics. If you really want to learn something about the subject: read the book Narconomics.
An official commented on project Cassandra in a politico article which I think sheds a little more light. “What if the CIA or the Mossad had an intelligence operation ongoing inside Hezbollah and they were trying to pursue someone . . . against whom we had impeccable [intelligence] collection and the DEA is not going to know that?” the official said. “I get the feeling people who don’t know what’s going on in the broader universe are grasping at straws.”
The official added: “The world is a lot more complicated than viewed through the narrow lens of drug trafficking. So you’re not going to let CIA rule the roost, but you’re also certainly not going to let DEA do it either. Your approach to anything as complicated as Hezbollah is going to have to involve the interagency [process], because the State Department has a piece of the pie, the intelligence community does, Treasury does, DOD does.” Which makes sense given that just some of the names mentioned in the hezbollah indictment would be considered extremely high value targets like the Venezuelan president and vice president. Who knows who else wasn’t mentioned or carefully blocked from this investigation too. Like “ghost” who’s a top operative of hezbollah and is supposedly one of the biggest drug traffickers in the world which he is also a major supplier for chemical weapons that was strangely protected by Obama era administration officials .
Didn’t fail. It’s not and never was the plan.

Are these guys talking about the Contras and the CIA?
Everyone involved in the war on drugs needs to be thrown in prison.
Unfortunately Nixon is permanently indispose.
So the democrats.
The one’s buying and using do too for they are the source of the whole problem
making drugs illegal and unregulated created a market with increased profit margins. At the same time the youth of the nation, being imprisoned, were further pushed into the crime world. resulting in more criminals.
Are drugs really bad or is it the law that is manufacturing this crisis? majority of drug incarcerations are end users.
all for what? to satisfy righteous people, preaching its immoral to do drugs? A law based on morality? Can this law be misused to lock up a certain demographic?
people like you are part of the problem.
If drugs are made in America by American farmers this problem would never arise.
A manufactured crisis.
Keeping drugs illegal and dehabilitating is a vested interest of every invasive power in the world. That being as it is, making drugs a preferable alternative to life without them by depriving the masses of the basic joys of life is also a major objective.
