| Colombia: A Presidential Win for Leftist Ex-Guerrilla Could Trigger Global Drug Boom |
| 2022-06-10 |
| Like it could get worse. [Breitbart] Colombia’s potential next president, leftist ex-guerrilla member Gustavo Petro, has stated that he considers sugar a more dangerous substance than cocaine and proposed policy changes in Colombia’s longstanding war against drugs that could result in a global drug trafficking boom. Petro, a former M19 Marxist guerrilla member, emerged victorious in the first round of Colombia’s 2022 presidential election last month. He will face off against outsider businessman Rodolfo Hernández in a runoff election for the Colombian presidency on June 19. While polls projected Petro to comfortably win the first round, the latest polls show Hernández as the favorite to win the race, with 52 percent vote intention against Petro’s 44 percent. |

| #5 What are you going to do about it? I’ll continue not using illegal drugs. If we don’t buy the stuff, they — the CIA, if they are, the narco gangs, the jihadis, the capitalist Communists, all of them very bad people — won’t make money. But this has been known for decades, so anyone who partakes knows what they are funding. What are you doing about it, Pholing Crererong6639? |

| #4 I guess the CIA doesn't like outsiders stepping on their turf. They are the world's biggest drug traffickers. Remember the crack cocaine epidemic of the 80s/90s? Yeah, that was the CIA raising funds for its secret wars overseas. No, it's not a conspiracy theory. Yes, the CIA really is this evil. What are you going to do about it? |

| #3 Don't worry. The CIA will traffic for him, then kill him when he gets uncontrollable. |
