    There is no social bandwidth for terrorists to either create and operate or 'tax' drug dealing networks since they introduced a drug tolerance policy in 1976. Contrast with west Germany, Italy, France, Northern Ireland etc. etc. etc. during the 1970s/80s. Look at the links between terrorist groups and drugs in Latin America and the middle east, Understand that both the operate and tax/extortion model of terrorist funding grant terrorists control of criminal networks that facilitate access to arms smuggling, document and identity theft and forging and the entire plethora of 'talents' such networks provide. Established terrorist groups often tout themselves as the 'police' of drug networks in their territory while extorting money from 'licenced' dealers. Its a step up from more hands on operation and can facilitate terrorists taking a high moral ground on drug use by harsh punishment of those that fail to pay their extortion money while simultaneously making vast profit and exercising great power over criminal networks. The production/export model worked for the farc and Taliban. These are the broad variations

    It's worked for terrorists ever since the soviets created the model for the Baader Meinhof based on establishing distribution for cannabis. Destroy the network and you shut them down. E.g legalise cannabis.


    Gold has nothing to do with terrorists in particular, unless it is made illegal and only then would it have the same merits as drugs do for terrorists. Even then it would be a very distant secondary consideration like for example stolen art.

    If you want to destroy the financial potential of radical terrorists in alienated sections of populations, don't let them control drug trading or community policing of petty criminality. Legalising soft drugs, reducing duty on smuggled goods is a very effective way to eliminate and isolate.

    All this noise about gold is nonsense.
