Logan Since 9/11: All Clear For Landing

What is your cargo?

"200 pounds of cocaine discovered on plane; Seized at Logan after flight from Santo Domingo" by John R. Ellement, Globe Staff | January 30, 2010

In one of the larger seizures of illicit drugs in Massachusetts in recent years, State Police and federal agents recovered 200 pounds of cocaine from a passenger aircraft after it landed Wednesday at Logan International Airport, authorities said yesterday....

David Procopio, State Police spokesman, said no one had been charged in connection with smuggling the cocaine.

In a statement, ICE was equally tight-lipped. “This is an international narcotics smuggling incident,’’ said the statement released by ICE spokesman Harold Ort. “ICE is involved with the investigation. Since the matter is ongoing, there are no further releasable specifics.’’

According to reports by the US State Department and US Drug Enforcement Administration, the Dominican Republic has become a major transshipment point for illicit drugs heading to the United States from South America. Media reports published in 2009 said that 30 generals were dismissed by the country’s leaders for alleged involvement in drug trafficking. It's the same here in AmeriKa.

Our army is guarding the poppy fields of Afghanistan so banks can launder drug money and make billions in profits as black money is kicked back into more black ops.

In a state-by-state study on drug use, the DEA reported that “Colombian and Dominican traffickers dominate the distribution throughout [Massachusetts].’’

Seeing as the CIA runs most of the stuff I'm sure the government would know.
