This is YOUR War on Drugs - and it's killing Mexico.
by xxdr_zombiexx | January 3, 2009


Hey there.

I thought I would take a moment to discuss a hugely important aspect of the "war on drugs" that doesn't get any airplay in the "US Mainstream Media" - you know: the "proper media" where if something is mentioned, it's real (like WMD's being in Iraq, for example) and if it's NOT mentioned, it's not real, sort of like with the medical potential of the cannabis plant. Never hear about that reality, do you?

Today we'll talk, briefly, about another downplayed aspect of the "war on drugs": The War on Drugs is one of the Primal Forces of Corruption.

On the flip is a discussion of the dynamics of how the war on drugs corrupts law enforcement officers and nurtures the worst people humanity has to offer.

And yeah, to the extent that you want to say or suggest any of the following nonsense, you are helping feed this beast.:


* It's just not important.


* Now just isn't the time.


* There are more important things to deal with.


* It's divisive.


* We'll look weak on crime

It's not so much a "with us or against us" mentality, which some of those whining in protest will suggest. It's more of a either you are smart and aware enough to get this or you aren't. If you aren't able to "get it" it's not because you are intellectually "inferior": it's that you are still buying the crap the government sells - drug war propaganda takes up all the space where real, verifiable information should be.

And it a lot more than Mexico we're doing in with our misguided war on drugs. It's a suicide mission as well.

4. Wait a minute!

If we were to (gasp!) end the war on Drugs,where would the CIA get their funds for covert ops?..Come on folks...have some compassion for our intelligence community.

I got no facts,but I do have suspicions. :)
