3. The, “Drug War”

3. The, “Drug War”
If there was a, “war on drugs”, then tobacco & alcohol would immediately be a controlled illegal substance. Alcohol & tobacco kill about 500,000 U.S. citizens every year, while ALL illegal drugs combined kill about 17,000 every year.
Obviously . . . There is no Drug War
Ok
That is clear
So . . .
Would someone like to explain to tax payers what in the hell is the purpose for:
1. D.A.R.E.
2. Undercover narcotics officers
3. All these drug commercials
4. Hundreds of thousands of U.S. citizens being arrested for drugs?
5. 69 billion tax payer dollars annually spent on a pseudo drug war?
6. Putting more people in U.S. prisons for drug offenses alone than the entire prison population of Europe?
7. Putting four times as many people in prison as compared to China when China has four times more citizens than the United States? (And you thought China was oppressive to its citizens).
Why all of this insanity when the most toxic & destructive drugs known to mankind are legally sold on every street corner????
What in the hell is going on??
(There is so much going on that I am struggling where in world to begin).
Well, let’s look at the hard facts which mainstream media will not touch . . .
According to the U.S. DEA, almost HALF of all terrorist organizations get their money by selling drugs—because of drug prohibition. That means if drug prohibition ended today, almost HALF of all terrorist organizations would be out of business!!!!
Holy Shit!
Hey citizens of America, are you getting this?
Would you like me to draw you a picture?
If our political puppets, that you elected, would end the drug war, nearly HALF of all terrorist organizations would be . . .
Out of Business!
What in the hell are we waiting for?
“Once you make something illegal, you turn over all control to thugs and mobsters in our streets. They’re the ones that determine purity, distribution, age limits, all that stuff and they’re the ones spending the profits without being checked by anybody. This is not good policy.”
Peter Christ of LEAP
Peter Christ retired as a police captain after a 20-year career enforcing drug laws in New York.
We ended alcohol prohibition in 1933, why? Because during alcohol prohibition we had the highest murder rate in the history of the United States; the highest rate of corruption of public officials in the history of the United States; and we ended it, and the year we ended it both those things fell right down to almost nothing, and they stayed down there until 1968 when we declared war on drugs. And with the new prohibition we’ve gone way past most of those figures now, and it’s just going to get worse.”
Jack Cole of LEAP
Jack Cole retired as a Detective Lieutenant after a 26-year career with the New Jersey State Police. For twelve of those years Cole worked as an undercover narcotics officer.
2007 United States Conference of Mayors . . .
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the United States Conference of Mayors believes the war on drugs has failed and calls for a New Bottom Line in U.S. drug policy, a public health approach that concentrates more fully on reducing the negative consequences associated with drug abuse, while ensuring that our policies do not exacerbate these problems or create new social problems of their own; establishes quantifiable, short- and long-term objectives for drug policy; saves taxpayer money; and holds state and federal agencies accountable; and . . .
The End
You still there?
Exactly how many cops do you need to hear? (Go to LEAP.com to hear a bunch of career cops & judges talking about the ridiculous drug war)
You want to hear even more judges talking about the retarded drug war? Go to VCL.org
Better yet, why don’t you go ask a cop or a judge about the drug war and confront them with the above facts. (Just remember that these are just people—they do not want to lose their career they have worked many years for any more than you or I. Therefore, they will at first regurgitate the party line). These people have bills to pay, mouths to feed, mortgage payments, car payments, wives to make happy, and college funds to build. They are not going to come right out and say that the drug war is wrong—at least not most of them. Approach them respectfully. Listen to what they have to say. Convey to them that you know that many police officers, big city police chiefs, narcotics officers, DEA, CIA, big city mayors& many judges have come forward publicly about this. Most cops & judges already know the drug war is wrong—many of them privately feel guilty for being a part of this. They will never tell you this. But you can see it in their eyes, their face, their countenance, everything . . . like a neon sign over their head.
It is very important that public officials be respectfully confronted in this fashion.
It is even better if you would vote for politicians that would end this madness so that cops and judges wouldn’t be forced to carry out this nonsense.
If you are not crystal clear on the drug war after reading the above information, then you are a fucking idiot. Go to the library and research. Google, “drug war.” Pull your head out of your ass. You cannot see because your hands are covering your face. See the below section if you are really that fucking stupid.
Remedial Section
I have literally spent months researching, but more importantly attempting to understand the Drug War. When I first began researching the Drug War—I knew it was wrong just as many know silently. By the time I had finished my brief yet thorough research—I was genuinely ashamed at my own ignorance.
Why?
Because the facts & history on the drug war are so clear, profound, & simple. After researching I was literally drowning in factual information from so many different sources, authorities, former narcotics officers, former big city Chief’s of Police, DEA, CIA, FBI, etc., as to why this Drug War was & is fucking wrong on so many levels– I honestly had no idea how far this whole insanity reached.
I have been buried for months now with mind-numbing facts & history why this stupidity is just that—stupidity.
Look–I have no idea even where to begin with this madness.
After burying my head in my hands in sheer frustration, and rubbing my face to the point of breaking out in zits, and at times just having to stop and walk away from this MOUNTAIN of information, I decided the best way to talk about the Drug War was to come at this from a completely different approach.
Here goes . . .
Who do you know who died from heroine?
Who do you know who died from cocaine?
Who do you know who died from crack?
Who do you know who died from meth?
Who do you know who died from pot?
Who do you know who died from ecstasy?
Now
Who do you know who died from cigarettes?
Who do you know who died from alcohol?
Did a light bulb turn on?
If not, allow me to help out.
The Facts:
Illegal drugs—ALL of them combined kill about 20,000 people every year.
Legal drugs—JUST cigarettes kill about 440,000 people every year.
So legal cigarettes ALONE kills 22 times more people every year than all the illegal drugs combined????
Are you getting this??
Once Again . . .
Illegal drugs (ALL) = 20,000 deaths
Legal cigarettes = 440,000 deaths
Drug War???
Huh? . . .
Legal alcohol = 75,000 deaths
[f.y.i.--Legal junk food (& physical inactivity) = 400,000 deaths]
What the fuck???
So legal cigarettes ALONE kills 22 times more people every year than all the illegal drugs combined????
Is there a drug war ????
You tell me
So legal alcohol kills 3 times more people every year than all the illegal drugs combined?????
Is there a drug war????
You tell me Einstein
(By the way . . . legal junk food, (and being a slob), kills 20 times more people than all the illegal drugs combined). The way things are going, your government could make certain foods & fats a controlled substance.
Don’t Laugh
Remember, your government is putting 800,000 of your fellow citizen’s in cages where they can & do get raped and beat up–over a
PLANT.
Before I began my research on the retarded Drug War . . .
I had no idea how many people this affected.
I had no idea how dramatic was the dependence of the entire U.S. banking system on money laundering from the Drug War.
I had no idea that if the drug war ended today, tomorrow the entire United States banking system would implode. That’s because of the drug money laundering—billions of dollars every year. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is a fact as stated by government insiders such as Catherine Austin Fitts. Fitt’s served as Assistant Secretary of Housing/Federal Housing Commissioner during the first Bush Administration among other notable jobs.
I had no idea that every year about 800,000 U.S. citizens are arrested & put in cages by their own government for possessing a PLANT—a plant that has never killed one human being in the past 5,000 years of recorded history.
I had no idea that the U.S. has the highest prison population per capita than any other country in the entire world—so much for the land of the free.
I had no idea that the U.S. has more people in prison for drugs than Europe has in their entire prison system!!
I did not understand that according to our own D.E.A., about HALF of terrorist organizations get their funding by selling illegal drugs—because of prohibition, not because there are drugs. (If the Drug War ended, about half of the terrorist groups would be out of business—put that in your pipe and smoke it).
So, America . . . is there a war on drugs or a war on people?
Judges, big city police chiefs, narcotics officers, thousands of cops, and more are tired of this bull shit. And they are talking about it—go to LEAP.COM
LEAP = Law Enforcement Against Prohibition.
And there is so much more concerning the insane Drug War that the boob tube will never touch—it will be in my book.
Sleepy time is over . . .
Wake Up America !
