The USA’s Second Longest Running “War”–After the “War on Poverty”Â
Corrupt Cops, This Week in Drug History, Reforms, News, More!
Our January-February Special Edition of the “Failed War on Drugs” is a special combo edition that covers all that we’ve received in the last two months.
It takes a look at all aspects of the second longest-running war in U.S. history. Only the “War on Poverty” is older.
1 It’s Safer to Be a Cop Than a Farmer
Police deaths in the line of duty were up last year, and so was the number of cops killed by gunfire. But only handful died. enforcing the drug laws, and policing remains safer than a good number of other professions.
The Detroit drug squad is under investigation, a Pennsylvania police chief is accused of stealing money from drug busts, and a Wisconsin prison has a problem with pill-stealing guards.
3 Seeing Someone Smoke a Joint Outside is not Grounds for Police to Enter Home
The California Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled last Friday that police cannot enter a home without a search warrant just because they see someone smoking marijuana inside. Police may enter a home to preserve evidence of a crime, the court held, but only if the crime is punishable by jail or prison. The ruling came in People v. Hua.
4 Vermont Looks into De-Criminalization; Wants to Crack Down on “Hard” Drugs
The Vermont legislature will this year take up a bill to decriminalize the personal possession, growing of two plants, and small-scale sales of marijuana. At the same time, the legislature will consider a proposal to lower the threshold for what constitutes “trafficking amounts” for hard drugs such as heroin and cocaine. Both proposals will be discussed at public hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee on January 23.
5 After 30 Years, Nebraska Legislator Wants to Re-Criminalize Pot
For three decades, marijuana possession has been decriminalized in Nebraska, but now a state legislator has filed a bill, LB844, that would make it a misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a $500 fine. Currently, the maximum penalty for possession of less than one ounce is a $100 fine.
6 The Poppies Blossum in Iraq
British journalist Patrick Cockburn, writing in The Independent reports that opium poppy cultivation is rapidly spreading across Iraq. While Cockburn reported in May that poppies had appeared near Diwaniyah in southern Iraq, he now reports that poppies are growing in restive Diyala province, where Al Qaeda in Iraq is making what could be a last stand.

Theres a dirty cop on the Drug enforcement task force his name is Delshawn King
Shared by hswinvest on Feb 22, 2008 8:40 pm. quote | edit | delete
This officer has violated his oath terribly and the goverment knows all about it. He has compelety made up investigation reports. The same report word for word is used as evidencewith 2 different persons names on them in two separate cases. One person (Victor Burns) has been in jail serving a 6 to 20 year sentence. Officer King presented videos of Burns making a drug deal and a audio tape with the informant Lamont Taylor setting up Victor Burns so Burns is pretty much busted. So why did officer Delshawn King use the same reports and the same video and audio tapes but change the name from Victor Burns to Harold Wilcox. This false evidence led to an Indicted on Federal Drug Charges against Harold Wilcox.(Remember the same investigation Reports Word for word with 2 different peoples name ) what kind of Shit is this and remember the goverment knows all about it and i Harold Wilcox have the reports and the tapes.King is a Detroit Narcotics Officer working on DEA task force. Would you agree that my right of Due Process has been violated? SOUND LIKE A COVER UP TO YOU? For more info feel free to contact: hswinvest@aol.com Sue me for slander if its not true!!!!

– Terrorism and Organized Crime in South-eastern Europe: The case of Bosnia-Herzegovina – Sandzak, Kosovo and Metohija
The territory of Bosnia-Herzegovina has become a haven for a widespread network of organized crime. Wars, economic crises, social, political and other upheavals have all created fertile soil for this malaise. The primary objective of organized crime is acquisition of material wealth; this is accomplished through illicit activities with a high rate of return on investment: drug-smuggling, gunrunning, prostitution, trade in human organs and persons, etc. Corruption appears alongside organized crime. In Bosnia-Herzegovina (hereafter: BH) , corruption is endemic , ranging from abuse of police power and suspicious privatization deals to involvement in smuggling of high-tariff goods, copyright piracy, gunrunning and human trafficking. Problems multiply and there are no solutions in sigh. Few believe the authorities’ declarations of readiness to confront local and regional crime syndicates .
One of the biggest problems is certainly the drug trade, which directly affects EU countries. Seventy percent of all heroins arriving to the EU come down three Balkans routes. BH is part of one of the routes, but is increasingly becoming a storage zone for illicit narcotics and an emerging market, as the number of users grows. Local crime syndicates are connected with Albanian, Kosovo, Serb, Turkish and Bulgarian mafias. There are two heroin routes into BH: One starts in Afghanistan, through Turkey, Greece, Albania and Serbia, and then through BH westwards. The second starts in Albania, and then goes across Montenegro into southern BH and Croatia, to proceed into Western Europe .
Heroin and other substances are abundant in BH – in restaurants, cafees, schools, universities – and general dissatisfaction with quality of life has enabled the crime syndicates to recruit users and pushers among the youth.
This recent situation is being exploited by various Islamic fundamentalist terrorist organizations in BH. During the civil war, some of the Muslim military commanders were petty criminals such as Ramiz Delalic – CELO (deputy commander, 9th Motorised Brig.), Ismet Bajramovic – CELO (Military police commander ), Musan Topalovic – CACO and Jusuf -Juka Prazina . Also, members of the mentioned group are: Sead Becirevic-Sejo, Zulfikar Alic-Zuka (Military commander of the terrorist unit call Black Swans) and Bojadzic Nihat, former officer of the R BiH Army. Political support to this group secure on of the prominent Muslim politician in Sarajevo Mr.Ejup Ganic and Mr.Haris Silajdzic. Haris Silajdzic are the actual member of the B-H Presidency. His sister Salidza Silajdzic is married in Iran, presumably to a high rank officer of the VEVAK, and his brother Husref Silajdzic is thought to be a secret agent of the Pakistani Intelligence Service (ISI). New information speak about the fact that Haris Silajdzic is trying to restart the work of “Patriot League”. The center of “Patriot League” is to be in Sarajevo with General Vahid Karavelic as its head.
They used patriotism as a cover for their criminal activities during the war. Afterwards, however, a portion of the Muslim population in BH replaced nationalism with a new ideology of Islamic fundamentalism. Islamic fundamentalists with a criminal background have substantial advantages in BH:
1. fast and easy access to weapons and explosives;
2. in-depth knowledge of smuggling routes;
3. connections with corrupt officials and politicians;
4. influence in local media and NGOs;
5. connections with a large diaspora in the US and western Europe
Terrorist networks have seized upon these advantages of local criminals-turned-Islamic fundamentalists, creating a new model of terrorist funding.
While terrorists and criminal syndicates have different motivations, they both seek financial gain – only terrorists see it as a source of funding their ideological pursuits. As a result, terrorist networks in cooperation with organized crime syndicates generate significant sums of money. Both parties profit from cooperation. Terrorists provide drug supplies, weapons and contacts to drug-makers and smugglers worldwide. They also provide safe havens for organized crime syndicates, because they often control large territories where there is no rule of law. On the other hand, the terrorists can use smuggling routes and illicit trade goods. Both groups gather and exchange intelligence on corrupt state officials in all branches of government.
Islamic fundamentalists, including Al-Qaeda members, realize profits from drug trade in two ways. One is by taking a percentage from the local criminal syndicates, and the other is taking a portion of illicit substances transported towards Western Europe. Profits from those drug sales are used by the terrorists to purchase arms and offer bribes, but increasingly often as well for hiring professional PR and lobbying firms to come up with political justifications of Islamic fundamentalist terrorists.
Recent discoveries in BH indicate that the trend of terrorist organizations funding themselves from drug sales is on the rise, due to a series of factors:
1. Financial scrutiny and closing of so-called “humanitarian” organizations that were terror fronts;
2. Greater pressure on state sponsors of terrorism, resulting in their inability to funnel money to terrorists openly;
3. Increase in supply of heroin coming from Afghanistan;
4. Connections between Islamic fundamentalists and organized crime syndicates
Of special consideration is the fact that Islamic terrorists have a widespread network of members and supporters in BH, which is used for trafficking in people, weapons and increasingly drugs. Due to this, one can purchase a kilo of heroin in BH through the “mujahedin connection” for anywhere between 11.000 and 13.000 EUR. The street value would be three or four times more, because pure heroin is laced with other substances.
The BH capital has become the base of a narco-cartel. After the murder of Lullzim Krasniqi in Croatia, one of the major drug-dealers on the Balkans route, the investigation which took place in several countries uncovered the existence of a widespread network composed of criminals and former soldiers from the BH Army. Almost all of them are Kosovo Albanians or Sanjak Muslims. Krasniqi’s murder was linked to a large shipment of drugs via Kosovo, Sanjak, BH, Croatia and into Austria, where a portion was supposed to be retained for local distribution and the rest shipped to Germany, Switzerland and the rest of the EU. Distribution was to be handled by numerous members of the Krasniqi family living in Graz and the surrounding areas .
Krasniqi’s main partners in Kosovo are Florim Maloku, Arben Viti, Dauti Kurtalli, Besim Ismaili, Ismet Osmani and EKREM (Kurtesh) LLUKA, a.k.a “Vuka” linked to radical Islamic circles in Syria . Ekrem Luka is the honour of the company “Banana” and close friend with Bexhet Pacoli. Bexhet Pacoli is very close friend of Raumus Haradinaj .
Krasniqi was well-connected with two leading criminal figures in BH – Ramiz Delalić – Ćelo, leader of the Sanjak underground, and Naser Kellmendi, one of the most influential Albanians in Sarajevo. One of Kellmendi’s closest associates, considered to be his connection to the criminal and terrorist circles in Kosovo, is “Jackie” Rugovcu of Peć, who is also well-connected with Ekrem Lluka. Rugovcu had two separate channels for transporting weapons, drugs and prostitutes. Suad Musić was in charge of the Montenegro channel, while the Sanjak route was managed by Safet Kalić – Sajo, close to major criminal syndicates in Kosovo and inner Serbia . Suad Music and Safet kalica are cousins.
Other notable individual in the organized crime network that finances Islamic terrorism in the Balkans are Halil Emrovic from Sanjak. Halil Emrovic are in charge of the heroin route from Turkey through Sanjak, BH and onwards to the West. He controlling the heroin network supplies in Belgrade, Sarajevo and Varazdin in Croatia.
Emrović is the owner of “Edihal” textile plant in Novi Pazar, which is the cover for his heroin smuggling from Turkey through Kosovo and Croatia. Trucks transporting denim from Turkey are used for smuggling large quantities of heroin. One of these shipments was intercepted in Hungary recently, when 113 kilos of heroin was found in a truck driven by Emrović’s cousin Zamo (a.k.a. “Zamorano”) and Muzafer Bihorac. The heroin was received from brothers Semir and Munir, who own a textile factory in Istanbul, and was destined for a contact in Zagreb named Franjo. After the arrest of Nirso Hadžipećanina in Croatia and the seizure of 164 additional kilos of heroin that had been transported by bus from Sarajevo, Emrović got into trouble with the Sarajevo underground, which suspected him of being involved in the seizures .His contact in Istanbul is Hajro Aljković, and in Croatia Mensur Bibić “Meljo”, both from Novi Pazar. He has drug-runners in Sarajevo, Macedonia, Bulgaria and Hungary. Heroin is transported from Turkey into Western Europe along three routes: Bulgaria-Romania-Hungary, Kosovo-Montenegro-Italy, and Bulgaria-Serbia-Croatia. Known criminal associates: Plojović Džemail “Žuti”, Smajović Faruk, Emrović Halil, Vuković Gordana (ex-Customs official) of Novi Pazar, as well as Učkan Sedat, Turkish citizen, and Sabahko, owner of “Igbal” hotel in Istanbul . Ms.Vukovic Gordana today working in Customs of Serbia, office in Kraljevo. She is driving brand new BMW and she is having contact only with Muslims fellows from Sandzak. Her brother was arrested in the recent Police raid under the name of “Customs Mafia”. Also following individuals are considered as dangerous operating in Novi Pazar – Sandzak region: Ljajic Mahmut Maso and Ibrovic Senad suspects for the trafficking of “white slaves” and Birdjozlic Jusuf, heroin.
The core of Naser Kellmendi’s crime syndicate is composed of the following: Elvis Kellmendi (age 27) born in Prizren, living in Ilidža (Sarajevo), Besnik Kellmendi (age 25) born in Peć, living in Zenica, Liridon Kellmendi (age 22) born in Peć, living in Novo Sarajevo, Almir Kukan, (age 25) of Sarajevo, and Asllan Peci (age 41) born in Zvečan, living in Ilidža (also a wartime commander in the Muslim-dominated ARBiH ).
One of the chief Islamic fundamentalist leaders connected to organized crime is Bashkim Gazidede . Through his Islamist and criminal associations, he managed to organize a transfer of large quantities of heroin, whose sales provided funding for Islamic fundamentalist activities in the Balkans. Gazidede specifically used the funds to support black operations of SHIK (Albanian intelligence) in Kosovo. SHIK’s leading agent and former member of the KLA Xhavit Haliti was arrested November 17, 2005. by the Syrian state security in Damascus. Haliti was charged with being a member of Al-Qaeda, with a mission to establish cells and recruit members of the “white Al-Qaeda” in the Balkans and support the organization’s operations in Iraq. Haliti’s closes associates are Azem Syla and Rifa Haxhijaj, suspected of a series of war crimes and terrorism, and have close ties to Hashim Taqi .
Bashkim Gazidede has another close associate among the Islamic fundamentalists: Abdul Latif Saleh, citizen of Jordan and Albania, considered an organizer of ties between Islamic and criminal groups in Chechnya, Kosovo and Jordan. Abdul Latif Saleh has set up a new terrorist organization in Kosovo known as “White Devils”.

Traffickers turn from Balkan conduit to ‘northern’ route
By Tamara Makarenko (JIR, August 2001)
A lucrative drugs market and a desirable standard of living has ensured that Western Europe remains an important destination for illicit narcotics and illegally smuggled and trafficked migrants. Although a variety of routes are utilised to bring these commodities to Europe, most official attention over the past decade has been focused on the ‘Balkan’ route – originally established to transport Southwest Asian heroin to Europe via Iran and the Balkan peninsula. By 1991, Interpol deemed this route responsible for 65% to 75% of all heroin seized throughout the continent and by 1994 it was known as an important conduit for smuggling and human trafficking.
Ten years later many Western criminal intelligence agencies still regard the Balkan route as the most active trafficking conduit. Despite this sustained widespread belief, several factors strongly suggest that illicit opiates from Afghanistan (and Pakistan) are increasingly being routed through what is referred to as the ‘northern’ route. As Marc Pasotti of the United Nations Centre for International Crime Prevention stated during a conference in Hungary in 1998: “The Central Asian CIS republics and Russia are being increasingly used as a shortcut for heroin supplies to Western Europe in place of the Balkan route.” Recent evidence uncovered also suggests that the northern route is increasingly being used for illegal human traffic.
Three major factors have been responsible for the growth of northern routes: the Iranian counter-narcotics initiative; increased opium production in Afghanistan; and the post-independence environment in the former Soviet Union.
Early indicators
Supported by the United Nations Drug Control Programme (UNDCP), the government of Iran embarked on a strict anti-narcotics campaign in the mid-1980s. Iran has constructed a system of channels, concrete dams, sentry points and observations towers, in addition to regularly deploying over 30,000 law enforcement personnel to guard its Afghan border. This has enabled the government to disrupt a relatively significant portion of illicit narcotics traffic through its borders. The 204.5 tons of opium Iran confiscated in 1999 represented over 80% of the total global opium seizure.
Although Iranian efforts have not completely eliminated trafficking through its borders – government officials estimate that no more than 20% of drugs are seized – by the early 1990s interdiction efforts had placed a considerable strain on the trafficking operations of criminal groups. Traffickers, in search of ways to diversify their risk, were therefore forced to locate addition routes that could be used to successfully transport shipments of illicit opiates originating from Afghanistan.
The second factor responsible for attracting traffickers to the northern route was increased opium production in Afghanistan – especially in the country’s northern regions. According to UN statistics, the production of opium in Afghanistan has steadily grown since 1988. Between 1988 and 1991 it increased 100% and between 1991 and 1999 production grew from an estimated 2,000 tons to a record 4,600 tons. Thus by the end of 1999, Afghanistan produced approximately 75% of the global supply of opium.
Rising production in Afghanistan is an important factor primarily because it acted as a catalyst for traffickers to locate new routes in order to ensure that rising supplies reached external markets – a necessary requirement to maximise profits. By the end of 2000, the UNDCP (now the UN Office of Drug Control and Crime Prevention) estimated that only 20% to 30% of Afghan heroin was transported to Europe via the traditional Iranian-Turkish route, and at least 50% of heroin consumed in Europe travelled via Central Asia.
Given events in Iran and Afghanistan, northern routes through the Central Asian republics (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan) and Russia were extremely attractive to traffickers for a variety of reasons. The successor republics that emerged from the demise of the Soviet Union not only covered a very large geographic area but had extremely porous borders. For example, border guard units and customs service in Central Asia were not established until 1993-4. Even today they remain ill-equipped, underfunded and undertrained in countering illicit trafficking.
A second factor attracting the exploitation of northern routes was, and continues to be, the deteriorating regional socio-economic situation throughout much of the former Soviet Union. In Central Asia – the first leg of the northern routes – unemployment rates are high and low/unpaid wages remains a common problem. The UN Human Development Report estimates that approximately 80% of the population in Tajikistan and 30% in Kazakhstan lives below the poverty line.

Given events in Iran and Afghanistan, northern routes through the Central Asian republics and Russia have become attractive to traffickers for a variety of reasons. Economic, social problems and the growth of organised crime throughout the former Soviet republics have contributed to the growing shift of illicit trafficking from Balkans to northern routes.

NEW YORK — The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has released a new report.
It warned that the axis between South American drug cartels and the Albanian mafia have reached “alarming proportions”, while reports by several intelligence agencies show that Kosovo is a distribution center on the crossroads of global routes and pathways of drug trafficking.
This presents reason for concern, primarily because of the new pathways of drug trafficking, and “inclusion of cocaine in the range of products offered by the groups that are active along the Balkan drug route”, the UNODC annual report for 2007 said.
The Albanian mafia has recently begun taking over the control of ports in Romania, in addition to the already solid network existing in Albania and Montenegro, the report said.
This warning by UNODC is the latest in a series of alarming reports by a number of agencies in charge of fighting organized crime, including the FBI, Interpol and Europol, which state that the Albanian mafia is the most serious criminal organization in Europe because it controls a huge part of the heroin trade in a number of European state – Switzerland, Greece, Belgium, Austria, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Norway, and, recently, in Great Britain.
The western European heroin market, of which 40 to 75 percent is controlled by Albanians, brings annual earnings of around USD 7bn, which makes the trafficking in this type of narcotic by far the most profitable activity in the Balkans, western intelligence services have reported.
The territory that includes Albania, Kosovo and western Macedonia is a huge drug warehouse. Its contents are drugs measured not in kilograms, but in tons, a western diplomat posted in the Balkans said in a statement for Tanjug new agency, explaining how intelligence sources estimate that there are at least seven tons of heroin in this region at all times, ready to be moved to the West.
Former official of the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Michael Levine has said that one of the wings of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) was “linked with every known narco-cartel in the Middle East and the Far East”, and that almost every European intelligence service and police has files on “connections between ethnic Albanian rebels and drug trafficking”.
“Albania and Kosovo are the heart of the Balkan drug trade route which links Pakistan and Afghanistan with Europe. That route is worth around USD 7bn annually and around 80 percent of the heroin intended for the western European market is smuggled along this route,” said a report presented to the U.S. Congress.
International representatives in Kosovo complained in the recent years that it is “difficult to estimate, in the complicated relations on the political scene of the Kosovo Albanians and ethnic Albanians in Macedonia or southern Serbia, whether politics controls organized crime or the mafia controls politicians”.
The agency says it its report that it is “also possible, however, that organized criminal groups in Kosovo in fact have no influence on the authorities because they are actually those who are in power, as Italian General Fabio Mini said on his departure from the post of commander of KFOR, the international peacekeeping force in Kosovo”.
Balkans drug route a threat to regional stability
Published: Friday 24 February 2006 | Updated: Thursday 31 May 2007
According to the UN’s Office on Drugs and Crime, the Balkans has become the prime route for Afghan drugs destined for Europe. The effects on regional stability could be substantial.

The Balkans has become a major hub for traffickers of heroin and other types of drug from Afghanistan, and this, along with an increase in known human trafficking, money laundering and corruption cases, threatens the stability of the whole region that includes Central Asia and the Caucasus. According to Antonio Maria Costa, who heads the Vienna-based UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the trade of Afghan-grown drugs alone brings in over two billion euros for those cartels who operate along the so-called Balkan route.
Speaking in Tirana, Albania, on 22 February, Antonio Maria Costa urged the international community to support the nations of the Balkans region in strengthening the rule of law.
Afghan heroin is known to enter Europe via three routes across Romania, Serbia and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
The UNODC has recently completed a comprehensive report on ‘Crime and development in Africa,’ and similar work is underway to reveal the relation between crime, poverty and instability in the Balkans and the affected Eastern European countries.
The Council of the EU adopted an Action Plan on Drugs between the EU and the Balkan states in June 2003. This political framework complements the EU’s three major drug programmes CADAP, SCAD and BUMAD.
Commission President José Manuel Barroso and Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn toured the Western Balkans region last week in an attempt to bring home the message of the European future for the countries there.
Kosovo is finally independent and is getting recognized by the major world powers as I type this blog entry. I must confess, it’s a beautiful feeling to watch Kosovo Albanians finally free from Serbian terrorism. Serbs consider Kosovo to be “craddle of the Serbian civilization,” but after losing all Balkan wars – Serbia has finally lost Kosovo, for good.
The loss of Kosovo is a major blow to the Serbian propaganda, especially to Dr Darko Trifunovic (photo on the left) who has been wasting his energy to spread manufactured lies portraying Albanians, Bosniaks, and other non-Serbs as “terrorists.” Of course, Dr Darko Trifunovic is irrelevant; he is a former identity theft criminal who was fired from his diplomatic job after being caught in a document forgery ring and he is also a disgraced Srebrenica genocide denier and long-time discredited “terrorism expert.”
In his latest piece titled “It’s Time for Us to Show our Teeth” published in ultra-nationalist Serbian newspapers “Glas Javnosti”, Dr Darko Trifunovic has called for Serbia to start a new war in Kosovo, quote:
“As soon as Pristina declares independence… Belgrade must order tanks to attack Kosovo, including the artillery bombings of the Province until Kosovo is returned under sovereignity of Serbia…” (Source Link)
Of course, Dr Darko Trifunovic’s terrorist threats against the people of Kosovo are irrelevant. With no credibility and with a shameful criminal background, Dr Darko Trifunovic is absolutely irrelevant.
We wish people of Kosovo all the best, from the bottom of our hearts! Congratulations Kosovo! Long Live Kosovo! Long Live Freedom!
