War on Drugs vs. War on Terror

[Jakobien]

Thirty-six years and hundreds of billions of dollars after President Richard M. Nixon launched the war on drugs, consumers worldwide are taking more narcotics and criminals are making fatter profits than ever before. The syndicates that control narcotics production and distribution reap the profits from an annual turnover of $400 billion to $500 billion. And terrorist organizations such as the Taliban are using this money to expand their operations and buy ever more sophisticated weapons, threatening Western security.

In the past two years, the drug war has become the Taliban's most effective recruiter in Afghanistan. Afghanistan's Muslim extremists have reinvigorated themselves by supporting and taxing the countless peasants who are dependent one way or another on the opium trade, their only reliable source of income. The Taliban is becoming richer and stronger by the day, especially in the east and south of the country. The "War on Drugs" is defeating the "war on terror."

The yanks say that they are against drugs but since they have been in afghanistan the opium production has rissen , and a few days ago they opened a big new bridge that they had built from afghanistan to kasachstan on the main opium / heroin smuggeling route out of the country ??? The picture of the soldier guarding the crop was good , its a bit like the propoganda films about them destroying the opium crop in the fields........when they are actualy helping the locals with the harvest !!!! = all that the locals must do to recover the opium is wait till the plants have dried , boil them up in water and boil it down to get the opium !!!!! That sort of opium IS weaker but the heroin that they make out of it is not .

"The politics of heroin" by A.W.Mcoy explains who is realy behind drug smuggeling and why .

Its the secret services of the world making money to finance the illegal operations that their governments cant openly finance . How is it possible that the same drugs , the same quality for the same price are available every day in every village in europe . Just think of the logistics of the supply of bananas across the world and then imagine hiding it !!! The customs men must know exactly where NOT to look . The whole of the international black market would collapse if drugs were legal . They have to have a big part in the(ir) black market to have the over view to gather information and keep us under controll . THINK ABOUT IT . For example a city with 2,000,000 people , where 5% smoke hash = 100,000 (?) . They all smoke 2 gramms a week = 200 kilos a week = 10.4 tonns a year = 832 tonns a year in / for just germany . And they dont find it / stop it !!! Think of all the customs men and all the daily police controles of trucks on the motorways in europe , and they find NOTHING !!! This is a stupidly small example / estimate .

Moroco is suposed to produce 2000 tons of hash a year acording to official EU statistics , BUT other EU agencies have just done tests in major rivers in europe and have shown that the hash ( and coke ) breakdown products that smokers piss out , wich land up in the rivers , indicate that there is between 40 and 400 times more hash and coke than that in europe !!! They sent a plane up over rome and could measure hash fumes ( and coke ) in the air above the city !!! If you look at both statistics i mention you will see that we are being LIED to and CHEATED .

There is only one problem in the world , THE GOVERNMENTS . Politicians come on a scale between beeing villige idiots on the one side and PROFESSIONAL CRIMINALS on the other . If we got rid of scum like them we could live in peace . Democracy is not where the people have a choice between two or three political partys at every election that are actualy front men for the political / secret service / mafia / military / industrial complex who totaly control the police , courts and the media . We live in DUMMOCRACY .

BUT HERE IS THE SOLUTION ...... AT EVERY ELECTION GO AND SPOIL YOUR VOTE PAPER , THEY ALL GET COUNTED , AND WHEN WE SEE THAT THE MAJORITY HAVE SPOILED THEIR VOTE PAPERS WE GO ON THE STREET , CLOSE THE POLITICAL PARTYS AND TAKE BACK CONTROL .

SPREAD THE WORD , VIVA LA REVOLUTION , FUCK BIG BROTHER .

Democracy died just like every other political dream only just after its conception. Were living in just as much a slave driven, imperialistic society as 1000's of years ago; only now were not aware of it directly. The only real progress is in superficial products which they use to keep us occupied, mesmerised, consuming and relinquishing our 'funds' to them without inquiring why!

They do this without ever being questioned by the people to which they gain and manipulate this power structure. It’s the ultimate desecration of the values and true freedom that life permits. Using human culture as a vehicle for their perpetuation of fear, hate and finance! It makes me sick…

Here's a cool blog post that explains how war promotes drug development.

It`s partly the old roman tricks called "Divide and rule" and "Bread and games" plus the threat "If you are not for us you are against us" and a bit of "If you cant beat them , join them" . The trick the gnostic who was later called saint paul , and the first pope , emperor ( = ceasar = kaiser ) constantine used to beat the christians = see the light , join them , become their leader and change them beyond recognition from inside into what they both wanted in the first place .

I think it would be a good idea to make a list of all the tricks like that that the governments of the world use against us , to keep us down and to stay in power and then to make a list off all the things we can do to defend ourselves against such things .
