“An article in The Nation magazine asserts that Unocal's pipeline partner, the Myanmar Oil and Gas<br />

Enterprise (MOGE) is the main conduit for the laundering of drug money by the junta. Secretary of<br />

State Madeleine Albright has said, "Burma's drug traffickers, with official encouragement, are<br />

laundering their profits through Burmese banks and companies -- some of which are joint ventures<br />

with foreign businesses." The State Department reports that Burma exports 60% of the heroin found on<br />

US streets…” [Unocal, Heroin and Forced Labor, Rogue Oil Company Undermines US Foreign<br />

Policy, Free Burma Coalition, Los Angeles, 9/1/1998]<br />

The “leap” of faith that needs to be made, and the hypothesis here, is that if Unocal and<br />

Enron were comfortable in laundering money for drugs in Burma, wouldn’t they also be<br />

likely to do so in Afghanistan? It appears as though the same mujahedin dealing with<br />

the US team in Azerbaijan were moving heroin, and laundering the funds through the<br />

Deutsche Bank:<br />

“Additional direct CIA and Deutschebank ties to heroin smuggling and money laundering were also<br />

revealed by the FT story. "In the 1980's, at the insistence of the Central Intelligence Agency, the<br />

Internal Political Division of the [Pakistani] Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), headed by Brig Imtiaz...<br />

started a cell for the use of heroin for covert actions. This cell promoted the cultivation of opium and<br />

the extraction of heroin in Pakistan as well as in those parts of Afghanistan under Mujahedeen control<br />

for being smuggled into the Soviet-controlled areas to get the Soviet troops addicted.” [Part III in a<br />

“Just 32 days before the attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, a Financial Times of Asia<br />

(FT) Wire-Business Line report linked Deutschebank to the United States Central Intelligence Agency<br />

(CIA), Pakistani and Afghani heroin smuggling, and money laundering of narcotics proceeds (8-10-<br />

2001). Retired Pakistani intelligence chief Brig Imtiaz was jailed for eight years on July 31, 2001 for<br />

laundering heroin profits -- for covert actions -- via a CIA-linked drug smuggling cell, using<br />

Deutschebank and other financial entities and properties.”<br />

"[In Dec. 2001] Pakistan and the United States have turned to a tried and trusted 'friend' in their efforts<br />

to exert control over events in Afghanistan - convicted Pakistani drug baron and former<br />

parliamentarian, Ayub Afridi.... Without fanfare, Afridi was freed from prison in Karachi last<br />

Thursday after serving just a few weeks of a seven-year sentence for the export of 6.5 tons of hashish,<br />

seized at Antwerp, Belgium, in the 1980s. No reasons were given for Afridi's release..... It is a matter<br />

of record that top US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officials believed in the early 1980s that they<br />

would never be able to justify a multibillion-dollar budget from the government to provide support to<br />

the mujahedin in the fight against the Red Army. As a result, they decided to generate funds through<br />

the poppy-rich Afghan soil and heroin production and smuggling to finance the Afghan war. Afridi<br />

was the kingpin of this plan.... "[US turns to drug baron to rally support, Asia Times, 12/5/2001]<br />

Quite simply, these were the illegal deals being hidden by the intelligence block. These<br />

are the conversations that could put executives from Enron and Unocal in prison, as well<br />

as Deutschebank executives and US intelligence operatives. These deals were hidden.<br />

The US oil companies got the oil. The Mafiya got the heroin. The Deutsch Bank got its<br />

20% laundering fee.<br />

"Criminals now pay around 20 percent in laundering commissions. Just a few years ago, they were<br />

paying only five to six percent. That change is the result of better legislation, better regulation, better<br />

enforcement and better international cooperation."[Russia: U.N. wants Russian help in $3 trillion crime<br />

fight, By Konstantin Trifonov ,06/05/2001, Reuters English News Service , (C) Reuters Limited 2001]<br />
