Heres a good one for you. the Taliban have been accused of increasing the production of opium in southern Afganistan. A lot of people will believe this lie.

And ... it is a lie. So, how about a few facts?

According to this article the Taliban had banned the cultivation of poppies in 2000 and by 2001 had reduced opiun production by a whopping 91%.

Guess what happened? the US invaded in October of 2001 and in one years time the production increased under US rule from 185 tons to 3400 tons.

It helps to dig around in the research when working the compost pile. Leave it to the New York Times to spit out pathocratic lies every time. All the news thats fit to print? Geez, I wouldn't use it to wrap garbage.

Read the Signs.
