Unmasking Hezbollah - Drug trafficking and terror (1/3) | DW Documentary
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 май 2024
- In 2008, the United States launched "Project Cassandra". The aim was to uncover how Hezbollah uses drug trafficking and money laundering to finance its military and terrorist activities. The three-part series tells the story of the project.
By 2008, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration had gathered sufficient evidence to show that Hezbollah had transformed from a military and political organization into an international crime syndicate. They were making billions from drug and arms trafficking, money laundering and other criminal activities. "Project Cassandra" was the ambitious, top-secret project designed to stop them.
On 4 August 2020, the city of Beirut was devastated by the explosion of hundreds of tons of ammonium nitrate stored in the port. All eyes turned to Hezbollah, a Shiite party and militia linked to Iran that controls a large part of Lebanon. Despite pressure from both citizens and the international community, Hezbollah (literally: the "party of God") refused to allow any independent investigation into the causes of the explosion.
Hezbollah emerged in 1982 as a resistance organization against the Israeli occupation. Even then, it was supported by Iran. For 40 years, its fighters have infiltrated all areas of the Lebanese state and risen to become the country’s dominant force.
In the mid-2000s, however, a handful of police officers from the American Drug Enforcement Agency (D.E.A.) attempted to bring down Hezbollah. They operated in the greatest secrecy. The code name of their operation: Cassandra. Their investigation begins in the United States, in the still-smoldering ruins of the World Trade Center.
The three-part series tells the story of "Project Cassandra," based on the testimony of DEA agents and other people involved. It also tells the story of the rise of Hezbollah and provides insights into complex geopolitical contexts.

Criminals use religion as a coverup their crime. Islamist are very experts on this field.
No, it's just Islam the ideology
EXACTCLY JUST LIKE AMERICA DOES RIGHT?
@@ela7893you are absolutely correct Islam ideology is very dangerous to humanity and other religions
@@cheng006that was probably one of the worst examples I have ever seen..
@@cheng006Ok thanks for the honesty. It's pure hatred and revenge. You admit this.
The film did not mention that Imad Mughniyeh was a fighter in the Palestinian organization Fatah until the organization left Lebanon in 1982. He remained in Lebanon because he is Lebanese and Iran supported his activities before the founding of Hezbollah, as did Mustafa Badr al-Din.
"Martyrs are without doubt the biggest secret of our success". How can you say something like that? Look at him smiling!
Just ask some of the crazies in the comment section. This is history not propaganda.
He’s bestowing honor upon them , He’s saying they wouldn’t win without them aka showing respect dummy
@@incontruth4116 "This is history not propaganda." 💩 25:12
Well did you listen to what he said after? They have taken an ideology and put it above their own lives meaning they are fanatical about their belief. These people will now do anything to achieve their goal even at the cost of their own lives. Although it's sickening he gives a coy smile while saying this, it is because he knows above all else fanatical belief is their greatest weapon.
Hizbolla destroyed Lebanon it’s sad
"How could we traffic drugs if we prohibit them?"
Wow, solid alibi
Yep, it works when our federal agents say it.
@@SeanMurphy00 hmm, guessing this is sarcasm.
They can't PRODUCE, TRAFFIC OR USE DRUGS BETWEEN ISLAMICS but at the same time their Sacred Book openly say "it is licit LIE TO NON MUSLIM AND/OR USE ANY DARK METHOD TO ANIHILATE NON ISLAMICS". Now you have your answer.
Liars and corruption in every country and religion all around the world, Lebanon is no exception
Right? They lie about everything
Its the exact reason Egypt doesnt allow any Palestinians to come. Look at what happened to Lebanon and Jordan.
And Kuwait in 1990-91, 300k of them were expelled, they were also banned for 20 years until the PLO offered an apology
Maybe its because they dont want Palestinians to be ethnically cleansed? But yes anti palestinian hate is convenient
@@artofsublimeactually, what you just said was convenient.
@@daniellesalvador6525 Nope 👎

Yeah ask the us why lol
Doesn’t mean people will follow those rules. They’re humans.
@@khal9484because they want the money to fund the terror
The Quran prohibits it from being used as an intoxicant. Opium is used for medicinal purposes, Afghans know that cuz they are well-learned, if only you were educated on the matter, you would not mock them. Always finding ways to mock Muslims.
Watching women defend Islam is like watching chickens defend KFC
Isn't it the same thing western women defend Conservative ideals....they are all conservatism.

I have read many speeches of Nasrallah. He struck me as a walking dirty word. Disgusting.
Also, they forgot to mention Hezbollah's establishment in the Triangle (Argentina-Brazil-Uruguay border area) and two Buenos Aires bombings.
Next to the Israeli embassy that was bombed in argentina in the 90s was a school and church as well.
This is an American propaganda documentary. how many the United states and Israel of innocent people they have murdered and have been murdering for many years.
This guy, Naim Qassem, holy mother, what makes a man LIE like that, and makes him believe he is convincing anyone that what he says is not a LIE?! “We don’t deal in drugs.” Maniac, we HAVE THE MONEY TRAIL! It’s called EVIDENCE, which is also called PROOF, and also TRUTH! Which makes your words and denials LIES. See how that works?
He is not under oath and you are no judge. He does not owe you the truth
@@roddeazevedo Well said.
It’s about power - people lie and even if found out, deceive enough people to be successful which is crazy
yeah also the united states namely the CIA did the same, welcome to the world son.
Lying is second nature to these type of folk.
No wonder Lebanon is in deep trouble right now.
It all started with them allowing the PLO to move in and the 💩 show started until present day.
Yes, because of Israel.
@@masonsharrison obviously u r misinformed
@@LakwatserongNoypihate to say it but he’s likely correct.
@@SeanMurphy00 I talked to my friend who lives in Beirut the other day to asked several questions..... so Im pretty sure he is wrong.
Why the international community allow such a gang?
What should they do? Impose sanctions on Lebanon? Hizbollah doesn't care. After their disaster in the capital France wanted to give them money to restore their economy, the only demand was to shop what has happened to their money in their national bank, how did they disappear. Hezbollah said no
Because we must "respect" islam.. 😑
Love the sarcasm.
The internation community know who the real gang is 🤣 give me a break
The international community has lost their balls. They think they can appease the tyrant s. Sad!
One thing I didn’t understand about this timeline was at the end where top intel discovered a link between Colombia and Hezbollah network finances and phone calls being made consistently. They obviously found out the Narcotics trafficking was financing Hezbollahs EFP capabilities. Why didn’t US Intel have Blackwater PMC stationed down in Colombia to address this problem rather than in Iraq that we know created communication problems
That’s a good question for Shawn Ryan.

To those who criticise Israel's behaviour in the region, I have one thing to say.
Look at the neighbourhood.
Look at yourself first, Didn't one of Israeli ultranationalist assassinate Yitzak Rabin because he was opposed to his peace initiatives? Middle East is a mess and it is all because all that hostility towards one and other. It is really sad!
@@utkank8467 What?
that's exactly the point of this video , dont criticize IS
@@dannyarcher6370 Israel has also been doing its part to fit in the violence in the Middle East. It's part of that neighborhood, can't be excluded. Israel/Mossad is no different than Hizbollah, ISIS and Hamas. And the way you look at it is a contribution of all this mess.
israel is part of that neighborhood and thinking that they are different from the rest. hizbollah = mossad
Thank you for this documentary, I just wish so heavily georestricted. This is important information that should be available to everyone.
Why do you think so many seek asylum in predominantly Christian countries and don't go with other Muslims? Qur'an (9:5) "And when the forbidden months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them prisoners, listen to them, and lay in wait for them in every place of ambush."
True emigration jihad
Every verse of the Holy Quran has its context. Why dont you go ask your beloved israelis what is in their talmud...
@@AlphaMaverick1111they don't follow everything what they preach .... These guys do and then others
@@nageshsharalaya2806 These people are not pristine and perfect ambassadors of Islam. And for those who love israel so much, go read what is in their talmud, which they study in their yeshivas.
@@AlphaMaverick1111 their deeds tell more than enough to emphasize what they prioritize on. Least bothered with their books.
I was watching this exact same documentary on a channel called Java Discover and noticed a lot of people in the comments section accusing them of stealing it from this channel. So here I am letting you know.

I think a small connection was never made but Imad Mognheih and the Iman Nasrallah are family. This is why Imad is worshipped by those in his security groups. It's not just because he's their boss.
Lebanon used to be 75% Christian and a peacefull oasis in the middle east
So? Many countries that are majority Christian today weren’t always so.
😂😂😂😂 bye bye Christians
@@omar1kods only in your dreams
@@omar1kodsbye bye Gaza.
Arafat “ OLP” started that mess.
What we (the west) will never comprehend is the sheer fanaticism and determination of extremism and it’s ideology
We the West over thrown, assassined and sanctioned so many peaceful government because they didn't do what wanted them to do. But blame them when their country becomes ruined. The hypocracy!
The question stays the same why are we 🇺🇸 there ?
For Israel interest’s, why is Israel there ? Because they are occupiers trying to steal more land .
Yeah
Well this documentary is definitely one of the bad ones. I have no opinions about either parties of Labanese war (foreign and domestic) but this portrayal that one man is shouting religious chants and other is saying we don't fear death etc. without even mentioning western armed assault is simply propaganda tailored towards western audiences who have islamophobic biases.
If one wants to study an armed group, would studying the circumstances in which said armed group was made (namely a foreign invasion) and their ideological goals (namely end of colonization) benefit you or looking at propaganda chants that they use to rally fighters. Its like looking at the speech of George W Bush before he invaded iraq to learn about american foreign policy objectives.
You are the colonisers of this world. Still doing it today
Did they not mention why in the documentary? They didn’t want the West involved in their country.
13:30 "How could we traffic drugs when we prohibit them?".... By lying to ours faces.... maybe?...
Taqiyya on full display.
This is reminiscent of the similar states of denial involving torture. Could not have occurred because it is against the law.
he said "let me tell you a secret .. we decided not to sell drugs" .. why was it a secret? and if its prohibited why was it even considered as an option ?
They may probit use. Doesnt mean they prohibt sales
😂@@dannyarcher6370
Hey Linus ! When will you guys do a review of Noctua's new series of computer fan the "Hawk Tuah"?
This organization had to be stopped too long ago…
Nope. Regardless of whether project cassandra is saying the truth, or is politically manipulated to convey a false image, what won't change is the fact that:
1. Israel attempted to land Grab the entire South Lebanon, Hezbollah is the reason they got kicked out.
2. After Israel got kicked out, their spies were responsible for assassinations and bombing between 2000 and 2011, Hezbollah helped in hunting them down.
3. Syrian Rebels attacked first, forcing Hezbollah to enter into Syria.
Seems to me as if Zionists, and Syrian rebels and their supporters think that Project cassandra can be used as an excuse to justify their actions.
It could have been stopped- or never even been created if Israel was stopped from going into Lebanon
They may prohibit use but that doent mean they prohit the sale of the drugs
Saying a statement like this means you are completely ignorant of the facts if you know about Islam are beautiful and perfect religion forbids all things tied to the intoxicant from the grower the producer down to the user. God has cursed all of them and this comes from a authentic statement from our Prophet ﷺ so next time you want to be a islamophobe do some research. Maybe you will come to light to actually see the truth and see how beautiful a religion Islam is and how the West demonizes us Muslims. Hopefully you can see the truth for what the truth is, not just some propaganda
I live in a Muslim country and I can purchase pork and alcohol.
@@claireolivier3791 and okay and your point being what?

"Undercovers can't deal coke or lauder money" Yeah I totally believe that

the only link so-far is some bald DEA dude in garage claiming "a US govt, mole told me that this person is working 'with' HZ." Also, isn't iran financing HZ?
hahahahahah that's the real truth Iran financed HZ.... but you know since Israel may go to war with HZ soon... they're already preparing their propaganda so that incase the war didn't go their way which it won't... they will garner enough sympathy from the public.... This is how the US and Israel fight wars for a long time... except now they dont control the information as they use too....

Why is this 3 part documentary not available in France?
If it’s not available I’d say it’s probably because they’ve sold the rights to a local channel there. That’s usually the case when certain videos are geo-locked but do a google search for DW documentary in France and I’m sure you’ll be able to watch it.
May be it is considered to be a sensible information to some group of french citizens...
Probably because they sold the French rights to a local TV station that’s usually why certain areas can’t get access to videos.
Because nobody gives a ... about France.. you guys aren't superior, you know that?

"Suicidal people are the back bone of our operation" - islam guy
Same with the state of so-called Israel.

Lebanon is in an economic downward spiral hezbollah has guns yet has no finace brains
These people want the best for their religion but results in tragic consequences. They sincere in their fight, and brave but things are only getting worse.
Maybe, DW should do a three part documentary on CIA coup in many third world countries.
When a leader wants the best for their religion and not for the people, they are just corrupt leaders who are only looking for power. Hezbollah leaders are obviously not sincere - they are liars who manipulate their own people and do not allow (and I literally mean this word) them to think for themselves about their actions. Hezbollah was never and will never be a good thing for any country or any people. The rates of unemployment, illiteracy, and divorces among Shiites in Lebanon are horrendous so that should say it all.
The Beirut explosion was caused by Mossad and Cia.
do you know the people behind the assassination attempt and coup against Nkrumah the first president of Ghana, it was the CIA.
do you also know that it was the CIA that poisoned bob marley
Hiding behind a religion
This legalization not only intensifies the spread of drugs, but also weakens the social understanding of the harm of drugs. At the same time, the issue of drug trafficking in the US overseas troops has also attracted widespread attention. It is reported that some American soldiers stationed abroad took advantage of the convenience of the military to engage in drug smuggling and trafficking activities, using illegal income to support the military and personal lives. Behind this, it reflects the serious loopholes in the management of the American military, which is undoubtedly a great damage to the image and reputation of the American military.
I used to think that but when you tell people not to look over the wall they're over it so creating mysticism around something makes it more appealing.. alcohol has been proven to be the worst drug of them all but it's legal. Portugal decriminalised all drugs and it's the only country where drug use is going down in numbers. The occupation in Afghanistan was the period which saw the highest production of opium growth and heroin production.. The government and CIA are behind a lot of it. If they had decriminalised or legalised drugs years ago people would think it's totally uncool and ridiculous by now... it's a manufactured conflict just like the so called palastinian conflict. Funny how all these Muslims are going crazy about it but none of them have opened up their country to give them asylum whilst the pious and noble lovely Hamas have mansions along the Mediterranean coast and holiday homes in Qatar and billionaires in their bank accounts...
this is a very important topic, well done!
Personally I enjoy these DW documentarys, I watch em with an open mind, not being biased and just come up with my own conclusion on what is being reported. I'm in the US, originally from eastern Europe. 💯
We appreciate your feedback!
This a true documentary. If you get your call stolen in Lebanon, you go get it from Brital. You pay for it again. Their buisness is drugs and they have access to the port and airport. They don't pay border taxes. They attack Israel without any of the consent of the lebanese government. Once Israel attack Lebanese infrastructure, they just pretend it never happened. We have to repair it. In either case, for the majority of Lebanese people wants them out. They killed opposing politicians as if it is nothing. Hezbollah is a terrorist group by all means.
Maybe DW should as well put a documentary about Michel Aoun and Gebran Bassil. Those piece of shits the allies of Hezbollah.

As a Muslim, I couldn't believe Al-Qaida was responsible for blowing up NY. In my guilty conscious I was defending Islam 24/7. Down 20 years of horrific wars in Iraq and Afghanistan came to find out it was CIA/Israeli spy agents that blew up the trade center.

Literally every man in Iraq has done military service. No one needed Hezbollah to teach them how to use explosives, the Iraqis were more than capable of figuring that one out. Hezbollah had and has never had experience in using IEDs against US armored vehicles, let alone an Abraham tank, how could the "explosive" be "their design". I am not saying that Hezbollah has no involvement in Iraq, but that line is just bullshit and makes absolutely no sense. Also, do you really believe the same guy laying the IED is calling the drug dealer in Columbia? Nice propaganda piece though im enjoying it.

The reason Hezbollah exists in the first place has to do with the fact that Israel attempted a land grab on the entire Shia majority South Lebanon.

Look at the title. It says 1/3.
Doesn't it seem too naive of the DEA agents to take it seriously when a random Lebanese Shia drug dealer claims he works with Hezbollah! 😅
The problem with western reporting on the drug thingy is that, whenever someone is a Lebanese and a Shia they immediately assume he is a Hezbollah member, it isn't as if there are Shia that belong to AMAL movement, Shia that have no political affiliation, and instead has a familial affiliation.
« Shia drug dealer.. ». It’s enough to conclude.
If just Lebanese, then that's not enough.
Why must there be annoying "music" in the background?
Gosh, it's just so weird anyone would hate Israel or the US. I wonder how that happened.
Gosh, and you think that all is gonna fit in one documentary?
(Also seems as if you imply justification?)
Even their own hate those two.....its like people don't trust them anymore. Lmao
I am interested to learn more about Lebanon’s Christian community. World has forgotten about them.
The documentary should have pointed out that Syria was the other major supporter of Hezbollah in the early years, and that Syria themselves occupied large parts of Lebanon after they entered Lebanon as part of the Arab peacekeeping force in 1976, they remained there while training Hezbollah and providing arms up until 2005.
Who created Hezbollah? Why did they existed at the first place? What is the reason?

DW, you are doing a fine job lately uploading significantly more informative and valuable original content from other sources than your own, it seems a lot of them are coming from France lately. Well done, the invested butt hurt antagonists in the comment section prove this is all too important and right to let the world know, especially when so much misinformation is out there trying to obfuscate evil.
Now do a doc about the mass graves in Al şifa Hospital
The ones dug by the Palestinians?
They would not do that, Hypocrite 100%.
Wait until you learn what happened at that hospital in 2007 and 2014 and ever since... it will burst your echochamber bubble of misinformation.
@@mdabdulkhalek7117 lol great argument, camel lover
Palestinians deceived Jordan and Lebanon, Jordan’s were smart enough to kick them out. Lebanon wasn’t so smart and they started a civil war in a country that had sympathy and let them in, people show their true nature eventually.

They'll not get funding anymore if they do (DW is a state owned Channel and takes orders from them)
@@michellesutcliffe8446I got a good laugh out of that. You’re either being sarcastic or you’re incredibly naive.
Dont forget the Afghani opium @@alsahib3768
Why would they'll bring the drugs to Lebanon when the biggest markets are in the US and Europe?
They also traffic them in Arab nations - aside from Europe and the US
@@haneendeeb4767 That is very much possible. Maybe they have a more sinister plan to spread drug addiction in Arab countries.
Your forgetting Australia and the UK
It is true, but the film gives an exaggerated picture of Hezbollah and shows things, but it hides things: It hides that Hezbollah arose after the withdrawal of the Palestine Liberation Organization from Lebanon and the Israelis agreed to its presence to replace the PLO.
IRAN IRAN where you running to IRAN? You can no longer hide behind proxies who hide behind innocent women and children!!!!
Thanks, DW!
