Air America & Proxy-War: The CIA Smuggles Indochinese Heroin | "Science of Spying" (1965)

This is a clipped reaction to a documentary produced by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) by the name of "The Science of Spying" (1965); and as we see, watching this video in retrospect, American intelligence services usually tell the most corrupted, fantastic lie in order to justify their heinous acts.

In this clip, a CIA case-officer interviews Allen Dulles, the architect of the modern spying apparatus that's become legendary in several phases since this more simple and patriotic times. But in response to this rather simple piece of propaganda, I explain the succession of history as it pertained to Air America: namely, Air America was involved in smuggling heroin back to the United States to support anti-communist militia members. Much of that heroin was bound for predominantly black and Hispanic areas--this pattern of abuse would become a trend, with "Freeway" Ricky Ross and the Contra affair during the '80s--but back when this documentary was done, none of this was known at all.
