another coke seizure

DamienH

Surely the vast majority of coke taken in this country doesn't come here compliments of a person's digestive system. Obscure West Cork inlets FTW!!!

If you get ass shaped coke your lucky, that means it hasn't been cut down and is probably some of the best in the country at that time.

yeah but the vast majority of cigarettes being used here arent illegal

On the news at one on radio one the figure was one in five cigarettes are illegal.
A packet from the shop costs over €8 while bought illegal off the street its about €5.
The situation with illegal cigarettes getting worse....

I live in Colombia, this country exports approx 70% of the worlds supply of cocaine.
I don't really give a crap who takes what, or what they do. The moral stuff doesnt really concern me in general. Coked-up scumbags assaulting people in Ireland pale in comparison to the real damage to the real countries.

I see things everyday that would make your skin crawl because of armed groups masquerading as freedom fighters so they can export their powder:

>Mandatory military service, to fight the cartels, capos, druglords, armed urban militias, and FARC etc.
>17 year old kids in the army with assault rifles all over the place guarding every semi-important building from attack.
>Cities like Medellin or Buenaventura which are basically a law onto themselves, with armed mobs shooting the **** out of each other every night.
>One of the highest murder rates in the world.
>Extreme military and police presence, and brutality to most people.
>Huge tracts of the country that are just not safe to visit because they are controlled by groups who make their money from growing, processing and exporting the powder.
>Funding and then being armed from rogue states like Venezuela.
>Cocaine comprises most of this countrys economy in roundabout ways, and because of this, corruption is rife through almost every facet of life here.
>The army kills first and asks questions later. Many innocent people are killed every week, "false positives" when the army raids a village etc suspected of being a factory, etc for FARC.
>Police stations being blown up.
>Cops etc being killed for bounties paid by the capos.
>Increased US prescence and interference with Colombia, for money.
>Following this, the CO governments attempts to deal with it is mostly responsible for massive problems in Venezuela, and Chavez stockpiling Russian weapons because of increased US military prescence in Colombia.
>Huge civil unrest, the upcoming presidental elections will be dirty and possibly dangerous in Bogota, etc.
>Theres a fairly big international drug war ongoing with the Mexicans, there are many dissapearances and murders of Colombian exporters by Mexicans living here.
>The regular campesinos are poor as fuuck, so so poor, yet the government spends so much money on Military to counter the drug lords, and fuuck all gets spent on health, education, etc.
>In Medellin, a city only double the size of Dublin, it looks like there will be 2000 murders in 2009 alone, in this 1 city. Almost all cocaine-related.
>Some nights if you listen carefully you can hear automatic gunfire in the city. (and I live in a very upmarket part of the city, much nicer than anywhere in Dublin)
>The worlds worst drug war right now is probably in Mexico on the US border, and is mostly fuelled by Colombian cocaine.
>The drug, money from exporting it, etc permeates the culture, society and lives of 46 million Colombian people, and so many live harsh lives because of it.

I could go on...
And this is all happening right now. every day.
10-15 years ago it was much MUCH worse, but for the last year its been going downhill again.

Anto Dundon and Deco Keane shooting at each other in Limerick is nothing compared to the actual reality.
Im not trying to be some Moral Pariah, but fuuck it **** is bad here because the market exists.

Still, no matter how bad the violence gets here, the girls will always be beautiful :pac:

Ps, don't be silly. Theres no point saying that cocaine in Ireland is smuggled in via someones ass. That represents I would imagine 0.1% or less.
Look at the news, the huge seizures are being made of massive amounts. Many kilos or tons, lorry containers, boat cargo holds full of the stuff.

Nice post Fuzzy.

If people are uninformed on a certain topic, they should not try to debate it.

That is what is wrong with the world, and indeed most of boards.ie.

Great post, but Peru is exporting most of the worlds cocaine right now.

Columbia produces more, but more gets picked up by law enforcement. Peru produces less, but less gets picked up. Apprently combined Columbian and Internation efforts are reducing the amount of coke that gets out of Columbia...although the argument could be made that this is doing nothing to help the Columbian people being affect by the drug trade anyway.

Or so i have been reading lately.

Is your neighbourhood nicer that Aylesbury Road? I was in a house there once that had a swimming pool under a retractable floor. I thought that was pretty cool.

Actually thats a common misconception. Peru exports some leaves or base (to colombia mostly), not the finished product on the same scale. Planted acres, it has less than half of Colombia (700ha/290ha). And much of this is chewed by the indigenous Peruvians, not made into powder for TDs to put up their noses . The Colombians don't chew the stuff like the mountain-folk:pac: in Peru do.
Processing and transport generally happen in Colombia, controlled by Mexican and Colombian gangs, not Peruvians. With the EU market almost exclusively being served by boats from Cartagena, Barranquilla and other carribe coastal cities(through N Africa or spain). Peru is like a huge farm for Colombian drug lords, since the americans started crop dusting Colombia with really harmful chemicals in an effort to kill the plants themselves.

Estimating what is produced by looking at what is picked up is false logic for 2 main reasons.
1) For example, FARC will arrange for the cops to Bust a container with 5 tonness of 10% pure product. But at the same time, they will send a container with 20 tonnes of uncut product from the same port. Its how they have been doing it for years. Cops grandstand, get bribes, and picked up amounts are distorted because they never let them bust pure product. Thus, this distorts the eventual figure.
2) Amounts picked up are very small compared to what gets out there. With your argument, a doubling of the amount picked up from 2% to 4% of total exports would suggest a doubling of the total exports, when in fact many factors can influence it.

But sure I dunno I'm no expert and im sleepy.
Just put up the post with accurate info to let people know that those lines of coke in Dublin or wherever are also hurting real non-scumbag people.

OT Lulz: And yeah, its much nicer. Ironically the new nice neighborhoods here are likely developed so lavishly with masses of dirty coke money, as opposed to South Dublin which was developed with our grandkids money :pac::pac:
