Over the last few weeks James Corbett and I have been discussing US-NATO Gladio Operations in the Islamization and Terrorization of Central Asia- Caucasus, and the real lords of the booming Afghan heroin business. If you haven’t already, watch our video interview series: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 and Part 5.

During our interview series I have been emphasizing history and context as the two most important prerequisites in understanding the current developments in the region, and of course, in connecting the dots that lay in plain sight. I have also talked about our weeknight news roundup that highlights these dots. Today, as I was researching and preparing our nightly news roundup, I extracted several such ‘dots’ that directly relate to our Gladio reports. For those of you who have been following our recent coverage the following dots (not covered by the mainstream media; but of course!) will be highly interesting and ultra-revealing. Are you ready? Okay, then, let’s lay out the recent dots from our coming news coverage this evening, put that together with all that has been already revealed and discussed, and see how easy it is to understand the ‘real happenings’ and their significance in light of what we know.

During our Gladio interviews we discussed the Afghan heroin business as one of Turkey’s major roles in the Gladio Operations under the United States and NATO. We also discussed how major aspects of heroin operations were moved from Turkey to Azerbaijan-both in terms of labs and transit, after 1997, and intensified after Azerbaijan’s addition to NATO.

Let’s use a report from a couple of years ago to highlight what we covered during our Gladio series:

Azerbaijan is a major transit link of trafficking in heroin and other drugs transported from Afghanistan to Europe, a UN body claims. The UN Office on Drugs and Crime says the so-called “northern Balkan route”, a relatively recent variant on the Balkan route which transits the Caucasus rather than Turkey, crosses Azerbaijan.

…

Heroin crosses from the Azerbaijan-e-Khavari province of Iran into Turkey and traverses Turkey’s Hakkari and/or Van districts. An estimated 95 mt of heroin are shipped across Turkey’s borders every year, says the UN report, adding that Bulgaria is a link in one of those routes: Hakkari/Van – south-eastern cities – central Anatolian cities – Istanbul – Edirne to Bulgaria/Greece.

…

All right, we have several past mainstream official reports and our Gladio interview series on Azerbaijan’s major role in the booming Afghan heroin business. Now, the following report-article came out today:

Azerbaijan is significant transit country for illicit drug trafficking, and through its territory 11 tons of heroin transfer

Azerbaijan is a significant transit country for heroin and other narcotics, as it is situated along major drug trafficking routes from Afghanistan and Iran to Europe and Russia, the annual report of the US State Department on “2013 International Narcotics Control Strategy (INCSR)” says. In the previous report of the State Department was mentioned that Azerbaijan is a transit country for transporting drugs from Afghanistan, Central Asia and Iran to Russia and Europe.
