It's about time this message was brought to the masses. Unfortunately, a lot of people here don't want to believe the worst about the government, these are the folks who are willingly sending their children off to die in Iraq and Afghanistan, completely besotted by the propaganda of the neo-cons.
I am glad that someone has made a movie about it, at least the message will get to a lot more people now.
I want to download the torrent, but I just got a new computer, and it is a Vista machine, 64 bit, and it doesn't like torrents or file sharing.....until I figure it out, no torrents for me.
Back on topic, OF COURSE the 'drug war' is a cover for the governments methods of generating what they call' black money'.....which is a secret source of revenue which can be utilized in whatever fashion....the most recent, notable example of this that came to light was the way in which it was implemented in the 'Iran-Contra' debacle.
A democratic Congress would not approve the funding of our attempt to start a war with the government of Nicaragua in the 80's, when Bush's daddy, Dick Cheney, and that senile old fool, Reagan, were trying to overthrow the government there.
So, utilizing the CIA and the US military, they began importing cocaine by the ton to generate the money to funnel to the 'contras', a bunch of mercenaries and thugs hired by OUR GOVERNMENT to topple a sitting government.
When a transport plane was shot down, piloted by a guy named Eugene Hasenfus, the story unraveled....as told by Gary Webb.
I think those guys should all be shot, to be honest.
