40+ years of this...

40+ frigging years of this sick, sick, sick, sick, filthily corrupt, murderous, geocidal, genocidal U.S. war on people, animals and plants!

This is the very paradigm of corporate rule--that good people could not--and still can't--stop this. It has NOTHING TO DO with illicit drugs. It never has had anything to do with illicit drugs! It has everything to do with corporate 0.01% 'investors' selling massive amounts of poisons and weaponry to 'our' government--at a cost of trillions of our tax dollars--for the purpose of killing, poisoning and subjugating other people, not to mention ourselves.

When are we going to get this through our heads--that the INTENT of the U.S. "war on drugs" has been to drive 5 million peasant farmers from their lands in Colombia, as prep for "free trade for the rich"?

We are living in an "Alice in Wonderland" world--inside out, upside down and backwards! With the corrupt, murderous, failed, 40+ year U.S. "war on drugs," the cocaine and other lethal drugs just keep on flowing into our inner cities where 50% unemployment, rotten schools, and hopelessness drive young people to trade in drugs, which in turn feeds the profits of the "prison-industrial" complex--and, not incidentally, strikes millions of black voters off the voting rolls--and fosters murderous cops, who get off on breaking young black men's necks by giving them a "rough ride" to jail--ANY young black men, drug traffickers or not, guilty of minor 'crimes' like selling cigarettes on the sidewalk, or not, guilty of something--anything!--or completely innocent. The corrupt, murderous, failed U.S. "war on drugs" is directly responsible for creating such cops.

Funny that most of the cocaine comes from a U.S. ally, Colombia--headed, until recently, by a Bush-installed 'president' with close ties to drug trafficking and rightwing death squads--and is routed through Honduras, where the U.S. State Department installed a fascist regime. Not funny. Odd. Telling. And supremely ironical.

The coca leaf itself is an innocent leaf, used for thousands of years by indigenous people as a mild, coffee-like stimulant. That it gets transformed into cocaine is the RESULT of the U.S. "war on drugs." The result! Drug cartels, banksters and others (the Miami mafia and its politicians, police and military forces and their 'contractors,' and the CIA, the Bush cartel, the DEA, the FBI, et al, if the truth were known) CREATE the profit with the illegality. This is why the Bush-approved former Colombian 'president,' Alvaro Uribe--with close ties to drug trafficking and rightwing death squads from the beginning of his career--OPPOSES the legalization of drugs. The cartels have been making huge profits off the illegality, which creates a vast field for corruption all the way to Wall Street and the agencies of the U.S. government.

Nothing whatever to do with stopping illicit drugs. All to do with profits, including Monsanto's profit in poisoning peasant farmers, their children, and their animals, and driving them from their lands.
