### Afghanistan Withdrawal, Heroin Trade Value

- **Episode:** [1342: Disinfo Dozen](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1342-disinfo-dozen.md)
- **Published:** 2021-04-29

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1342-disinfo-dozen/chapter/afghanistan-withdrawal-heroin-trade-value.md

The planned withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan is complicated by the continued presence of thousands of private contractors, such as those from DynCorp. Critics suggest these contractors remain to protect the lucrative poppy fields and heroin trade. During his speech, President Biden appeared to slip and mention "20 years of value" in Afghanistan before correcting himself to "valor," fueling theories about the economic motivations for the long-term occupation.

### Institute for the Study of War, Defense Contractor Funding

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/627-scam-celebrities/chapter/institute-for-the-study-of-war-defense-contractor-funding.md

Despite claims of independence, the Institute for the Study of War is funded by major defense contractors including General Dynamics, DynCorp, and CACI. CACI, notably involved in the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, stands to benefit from the "advisors" Kim Kagan is pitching to be sent back into Iraq. The Institute's 990 forms show significant spending on travel and conferences while maintaining close ties to the military-industrial complex.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/127-poppy-futures-blooming/chapter/blackwater-contract-extension-hillary-clinton-sos-act.md

The State Department extended a contract with Presidential Airways, a subsidiary of the company formerly known as Blackwater, to provide helicopter transport in Iraq. This extension occurs despite Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's previous campaign pledges to ban the use of private security contractors. The transition to DynCorp International has been delayed, necessitating the continued use of Blackwater assets.
