Narco-terrorists and dealers have so much power that they might be able to determine who becomes President of the United States. The Vatican also reaps enormous windfalls from the sale of illicit drugs. ( Black budgets are involved here-more later. Suffice it to say that most US senators, big city mayors, and federal Judges are on the take, and enable drug lords to run their empires, while cops go after lower level peddlers and the occasional big wheel to offer a show trial for the masses ).
The global elite are also involved in organized child-sex rings ( a secondary motive for the Iraq war) the scandal reaching into the White House and Halliburton, et al. Why doesn't the media report on such things? The story is too big, and they themselves are too involved.
