By 2008, the US Drug Enforcement Administration had gathered enough evidence to prove that Hezbollah had transformed itself from a military and political organization into an international crime syndicate earning up to $1 billion a year from drug and weapons trafficking, money laundering and other criminal activities. ‘Project Cassandra’ was the ambitious, top-secret project to stop them. This three part series tells the story of ‘Project Cassandra’, through the testimonies of DEA agents and other people involved. It’s a tale that helps explain the history and rise of Hezbollah, making a complex geopolitical story accessible to a larger audience.
I enjoyed the series, it gave a deep insight into the Middle East conflict. The fact that Hezbollah turns out to be a criminal enterprise making money out of drugs came as a surprise. The twist at the end - that Hezbollah was using the ammonium nitrate stored in Beirut's port to bomb Syria and which blew up - is just mind boggling.
I am so shocked by these documentaries. I did not know how deep the corruption was. It is so sad to see so many wasted lives because of severe deception and greed for power.
you are talking about people that have been raised on hate. They have only read 1 book, and the guy the book is written about murdered hundreds of people. What else could you expect?
Insightful & interesting as it further enhances some understanding of the geopolitical landscape of what is unfolding today as the Hamas-Israeli conflict.
34:00 Ali Fayad was released to Lebanon as part of an exchange deal that brought home five Czechs "kidnapped" in Lebanon some nine months before, during their trip to Lebanon which took place a year after Fayad had been detained in Prague. A pretty murky business it was, as the trip was organized by Ali Fayad's lawyer, Jan Švarc. The level of involvement on the part of some Czech authorities (military intelligence and high positioned government officials especially) in co-ordinating the trip and "kidnapping" remains unclear. What has become known in the meantime, however, is that the then Czech Minister of Interior (Homeland Security), Robert Pelikán, had repeatedly visited Fayad in his Prague prison cell, and even allowed him to use the minister's phone to make some calls. Later on, three prison guards were indicted of the same and they lost their jobs. In an ironic twist, four of the five released "hostages", including Švarc, have unsuccessfully sued the Czech state for secret services not warning them before the trip, asking 500 000 USD each as a compensation.
there is no Hezbollah in Mexico and the DEAs own officers have been arrested by FBI for human trafficking and drug dealing . this documentary is an Israeli propaganda to frighten American's into letting their sons and daughters die defending Israel

The real criminals, the “ayatollahs”, they remain in their palaces. Poor fanatics!!!! The father talking about his son being a martyr “too soon”. Is a huge criminal, poisoning children’s minds…
They really cut the head off of the snake by killing Nasrallah. I had a Lebanese buddy in the US Army who drove a Porsche as an E-2. His family was incredibly wealthy, and now it all makes sense, lol. I'm guessing they fled to the US with all of their ill-gotten money.
There is a story that that Ammonium nitrate was a shipment to an African country for making fertilizer but the shipping company owner who was Georgian was low on finances and decided to dock in a lebanese port to carry more cargo and was unable to pay for docking fees and employee salaries on the ship and decided to abandon the cargo and the ship.. The cargo was consficated by Lebanese port authority an placed into one of the port's warehouse..for a long time and then disaster struck.
the not so coincident coincidence is that at the same time in 2020 there was a rising revolution in the country that start 1 year prior and the people of all sects/divisions united for the same cause which was unprecedent ergo made it the real deal, no one shouted for their rights anymore after that blast... would you say goal achieved in that case?
The same man :Marwan Hamada , The telecommunication minister 2005-2008 Commander of the scial Progressive party - Druze -Walid Jumblat leader.. Marwan Hamade was Druze political deputy Hasbulla tried to assassinate . Walid Jumblatt was supporting , Hassan Nasrullah Hezbollah leader‘s decision for the war against Israel on October 8, 2023. Jumblat and Hamade ,and most of Druze Community was criticising especially the Christian who opposed declaring The Hasbulla Hamas support war against Israel; presented by SamiR Geagaa , Accusing him for being Zionist , . because Mr Marwan Hamade did explain ; Takia , and how often being used By Druze and Shia believers; lying upon your perception , it’s make me confused , Where Mr Hamade was lying or practising , his right for Takia ….
no he is just someone like many others that actually got brainwashed by Hezbollah while the leader play games with there lives, that father is suffering a lot for what happened and its just sad what they do to people and there families, they become irans mercenaries no martyrdom in there but they make them believe that
@johnindahouse8151- No, Hezbollah was sent by Iran to support the Regime in Syria!!! They were killing the people of Syria (their own Shiite Brothers) who were/are trying to overthrow the terrorist regime of Al-Assad.
when i first started watching I was spectacle. but actually I'm starting to see a pattern.. i think it's somehow a good job that you did.. many points still not quite sure off.. i simply have to do my own investigation about every peace of "data" in inquire so that my brain classifies it as information that opinions can be built on. you put a lot of effort into this .. somehow it is eyeopening 🤔.
Wow, educate yourself. Please. Because this is embarrassing. This is not new. It’s not propaganda, just because you wish it to be. Everything in these documentaries is well established. Even Arab media outlets have reported on this. For years. The Internet is free. Try using it.
Iranian govt themselves claim that there are drug addicts and drugs are being widely distributed. you can choose to close your eyes and live in your dreamland but this is true
Just to let you know that israel got kicked out from Lebanon by hezeballah and that's why a lot of Lebanese people love them and you can't blame people because the Lebanese army did nothing and the people hated israel
so you really think Hezbollah is some incorruptible political party fighting for muslims while at the same time killing them and being irans puppet organization? how could someone deny that
lol believes in what? That hezbollah are smugglers selling drugs to have money for war with others? Or that they have connections with russians and that helped them free arms smugglers? Or that hezbollah was responsible for the Beirut explosion? What exactly😂 because everything they said was true 😂 you don’t have to accept it but that’s the facts 😊 Just as hamas has never fought for Palestine, hezbollah has never been and will never be what the people of Lebanon want.
I do not like these videos made against a resistance group to give them a bad name!! ? How befitting- it is only appropriate to talk about drug money when Israel is waging a war against Lebanon. Why are they funding the Israeli wars??
Interesting series, all about money for weapons. Are there any nice countries in the region? US foreign policy since 1945 has created all these extremist states. Out of the Israeli Lebanon war of 1982 Hezbollah was formed. And to think Iran was a democracy in 1953 until US did regime change for a dictator. The west is reaping what it sowed including plonking Israel in the middle on land they did not own. The US empire is coming to an end, it won’t be pretty with all the angry states it’s forstered
so naive. these extremist organizations have always been active even before US funding. They only used them to fight Russia. btw palestine doesnt exist, it was owned by egypt. look it up.

How can you hate your children so? To send them off to fight in another’s war for nothing. What have you gained in his death? Nothing!

Their religion makes them think differently. Totally lost their humanity with the brainwashing they receive from birth.

Sad, to waste precious life and family in this evil manner, horrifying
It will never stop until they stop perpetualating " Hate breeds Hate"!

so Saddek had children so he could send them to jihad.... no wonder we have this crazy virtuous cycle of martyrdom
Was the ammonium nitrate in Beirut used for hiding shipments of cash to Venezuela - to pay for cocaine supplies - as mentioned in episode2?
no the ammonium nitrate was for making bombs
There is a story that that Ammonium nitrate was a shipment to an African country for making fertilizer but the shipping company owner who was Georgian was low on finances and decided to dock in a lebanese port to carry more cargo and was unable to pay for docking fees and employee salaries on the ship and decided to abandon the cargo and the ship..
