A good paragraph on creating a drug war in order to have a police state

This is from a comment at http://www.cannabisnews.com/news/thread21411.shtml#13 This just shows that ordinary people can write why the drug war should end and that it does not take many words to tell the truth.

Going back to my church going days I want to say I think I might have picked up a few grains of wisdom here and there. For example, I remember Yeshoa teaching about the bitter root that produces bitter fruit. That is how I view the CSA. Without this "bitter root" the DEA has no authority. It is the corruption of our constitution and our bill of rights that gives the Feds the police powers they now have. That is why the CSA was created by Nixon. He even said so. He said he wanted to be remembered as the law and order president and was frustrated to see so much rebellion taking place in America during his time as president. At that time Fed law severely limited police authority in the various states. One of his advisors remarked to him at the time, "if you could pass a federal ban on narcotics, that would solve your problem. You could then create a federal narco-police and place a police presence in evey precinct across the country." Thus spoken the DEA was born. The CSA was introduced to congress and was passed without it even being read. Government has never met a law they didn't like. It's only a matter of whether or not they can pass it without starting an uprising. Now-a-days you can't build a fire under people for any reason. I call it the Bread and Games Syndrome. It worked for Rome number one why not for Rome number two. Anyway, my point is: kill the root or pull up the root and the fruit will die on the vine. We need an all-out assault on the CSA. It is poorly written, unconstitutional, and has been a cancer to our bill of rights since it's inseption. It is the legacy of Cheif Justice Reinquist who was a sell-out to the American people. He wrote the damn thing while serving as a young lawyer in Nixon's administration. So long as he lived he never let the vile thing die. He saw it as his legacy. Now that he is gone perhapes we can drive a stake through the heart of this vampire that is sucking dry our rights and freedoms.

Are you "Fed up" yet?

2. No, we are going to drive the bastards out of office

Democrat or Republican, the drug warriors in office are going to go. You should thank the drug war reformers for that as the drug war is a tool for the fascists. Well, that is unless you like the fascists.

Pot and addictive substances including the pill company kind are currency.

4. What politician is going to lay off half the federal workforce?

Drug warriors are unionized federal employees, they'll crush any politician that dares threaten their $100,000.00 salaries!

5. A politician who's doing justice.

If government has anything to do with justice
then the drugs war will be over and the criminals
will be out looking for real jobs that do something
more than destroy people's lives.... but what is really
scary is that the only skill systemic in the united states
government is destroying common people's lives.
