Meeting With Akha, Heroin Production

Matt McDaniel

March 31, 2002

In a meeting with the Akha today we discussed the heavy involvement and DOMINATION of heroin production on the part of the Akha community. Wa and Shan are soon to be removed and the Akha will partner with the Burmese army as the chief producers and exporters of the drug. Meth will be a side show as it still is and may be reduced as heroin in used chiefly out of the region by the decadent west.

The bulk of heroin exported by the Akha goes to the US.

The management of that exporting must also be the US and one can assume the missionaries are still involved in this.

On one hand they keep the Akha a slave economy for heroin export, while on the other hand they use the profits to plow into the mission empire and take away all the offspring of the Akha as well.

The Akha themselves suffer brutally in between.

Discussions with American personell would show no indication that they have any interest to finance any alternatives to the heroin trade, proof that they very much like it.
