THREAD: What is Golden Crescent and Golden Triangle and how it impacts India?
Golden Crescent region of South Asia - comprises of Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan - which is a principal global site for opium production and distribution.
- Its proximity to Indo-Pak border has worsened the trafficking of hashish and heroin into Indian soil
- Trafficking happens through the border states of J&K, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat.
- Myanmar-Northeast nexus is recognized by NCB as the root of heroin & chemical drugs
- Myanmar produces 80% of heroin produced in world
- Due to increased surveillance & frequent crackdowns on cartels in various part of SE Asian countries, India has been chosen by drug smugglers as the exit gateway
- Diverse topography, high mountains, rivers, dense rainforests provides numerous hideouts to the smugglers, and security forces cannot respond to criminal
- Also, rising nexus between the local ethnic insurgent groups & criminals across the border have developed into a potent threat of narco-terrorism that challenges India’s national security.
Narco-terrorism has not only developed a social security threat for India, but also dragged attentions of global communities, since trade happens in hard cash, & it becomes very difficult for security agencies
- Influx of narco-trade money leads to laundering, inflation, corruption, which not only causes terr0rism, political instability but also deter FDI.
- Assam CM @himantabiswa drove a road roller on 1000s of bottles of illegal cough syrups. The CM also set fire to seized drugs worth crores in an event.
- About 2.8% of Indians aged 10-75 years (3.1 crore individuals) are current users of any cannabis product, which is predominantly men.

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.
In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.
In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.
This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.
In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
The story doesn\u2019t say you were told not to... it says you did so without approval and they tried to obfuscate what you found. Is that true?
