@TheDennisegg no matter who you elect to office, the system wont change very much, there are systems in place to make sure it cant change, a lot of powerful people behind the scenes decide our fate, omaba is just a puppet, a front man, as will be the next president

[silver760]

The average US cop wets their pants with excitement when they pull any average joe over in the street (usually black) and find a gram of coke on him.To them it's like they just busted a Columbian drug cartel,the cops seem to concentrate more on the users than the dealers,for example the first ten minutes of the program the drug officer is pointing out a dealer walking down the street!?! If they know he's a dealer and have had complaints about him selling drugs,why isn't he in prison?

[silver760]

Illegal drugs and alcohol use?? How can you use a legal drug illegally? The only way I could see illegal alcohol use would be sales to the under age,the US is rather crazy allowing only over 21's to drink.The US also seems to have a myriad of ridiculous "Drinking in public" and "Public intoxication" laws where people get banged up for being pissed in public.Americans must be shocked when they come to the UK and see what it's like on a Friday night in any UK town,pissed people everywhere!!

[maclovindotca]

The government made drugs so lucrative in the first place. Taxes on tobacco in Canada are getting higher and higher each year, and guess what, a contraband black market emerges. Great excuse to put people in jail.

[MrDeth2007]

You would think that if Michael Moore were to try and cash in on any unfortunate, on-going political event, it would be the drug war. Has happened yet.

[LoveVanillaRose]

AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET US FREE

[skaterguy421]

If you can't stop drugs in jail how do you expect to stop it on the street?



[lorddiosliving]

@mthrnaturesson specialy that the economic melt-down in america and the systematic over-priced middle class lifestyle thats so impossible for americans now-days

[Buttnecks]

When will we see that inequality is the cause of all bad!! ilegalice and ban capitalism and fight liberalism..Seek communitarian societies for all harmony

[dmana3172]

See, this was all about going to jail. Why can't we just legalize drugs so we stop wasting taxdollars?

[BigMoneyBags]

it shouldnt be called war on drugs because wars end. No matter what WERE THERE IS DEMAND THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SUPPLY!! that will never change. You can lock up 1 dealer and its 5 people that starts dealing..the war on drugs is just human suffereing and the only benefitiaries is the criminal justice system and the drug cartels. the people lose...as usual

[KJLesnick]

The war on drugs is all about power. Look how much power the government has managed to gain by the war on drugs. Granted it pales in comparison to the War on Terror, but nonetheless...

[DontEatEggs666]

@KJLesnick What do you mean the government has gained power by the war on drugs?

[1973mazdarx4coupe]

i guess if people didnt do crimes, then, they wouldnt go to jail. just a thought !

[starmanskye]

@1973mazdarx4coupe -- Congratulations on perfectly mimicking the average American's proclivity for indulgently celebrating their self-satisfied gullible naivity as if it were brilliance instead of a paper-thin veneer diguising their ignorance. Your evident understanding of the real world & esp. the PR society you are a dumbed-down product of is defined by the boundaries of the manufactured spectacle & pop culture fable fed to you by the 4 corporations that own & manage 96+% of the mass media.

[1973mazdarx4coupe]

@starmanskye yes, it couldnt be that simple to just try to get a job and live clean, wouldnt it? you marxists try to complicate anythihg to end up blaming a corporation.

[schism4291]

The essential problem is spiritual [not religious], but I'll leave that alone. A side "benefit," for the white-controlled U.S. government is the attack on black female fertility. The birth rate per 1000 women in this country for black women is 21 for every 1000 black women. While the birth rate for white women per 1000 is under 15 per 1000.

The PIC (Prison Industrial Complex) is PART of the white response to changing demographics--their insane fear of being "extinguished."

As long as drug dealers have demand and make money they are NEVER going to go away if one is caught another WILL take its place. Its an ongoing cycle that will never end then once we arrest them they can use drugs in jail.

[davehutchinson67]

@rstieda I agree....here is what pastor Martin Niemoller said a long long time ago...

"THEY CAME FIRST for the Communists,

and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

THEN THEY CAME for the trade unionists,

and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

THEN THEY CAME for the Jews,

and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

THEN THEY CAME for me

and by that time no one was left to speak up."

[davehutchinson67]

You are either for or against the blue team. That's it. It's really sad to see our country doing this to our citizens. We jail more per Capita than ANY other nation in the world. When will it stop? Will American citizens EVER wake up? Sooner or later they finish with the poor...and guess who's next? YOU!

[Spinel79]

at 834 i like how he says that we took back the house or whatever to make it safe that is a bunch of bull shit he said that there self funding if they cleaned everything up they wouldnt have a job and they wouldnt want that. the people that pay your salaries are addicts. its funny how you look down on people that pay

[randy95023]

SO many people make money off the "War on Drugs" that it won't end. Prison Guards, Detectives, DEA Agents, Judges... ALL make more money than any street dealers and they're the "good guys". If a person wants to smoke a joint or snort of line why would the gov't even care? You tell me that pot is illegal, but Vodka is legal and I'd have to laugh.... But it is true!! Vodka IS legal and Pot IS illegal. In our "War on Drugs" we tell our children that pot is as bad as crack. Unbelievable...

[weircali]

AmericaDrugFree: You are so blind. Too stupid to think for yourself. And I would guess probably fat and racist. Am I close? I thought so.

[weircali]

AmericaDrugFree: NOW politicians make millions from cigarette companies and taxes on alcohol. And you think drug money doesn't reach politicians? Ever hear of the Iran Contra affair? How fucking ignorant and naive are you? You don't think the gov't has a hand in the drugs that enter this country? You make me sick.

[weircali]

AmericaDrugFree You are a moron. I am sure you drink. Pot hurts NO ONE. Alcohol hurts millions. You are a redneck moron who has no idea how the world works. I hope you get hit by a drunk driver and die.

[kk1233445456]

MODERN DAY SLAVERY they marginalized us into poverty then trap us giving us goods most hungry man or woman would take to survive...Then arrest for doing crime then lock us up and make money off our work...EVIL it's all a big trap...From the brainwash to the prison....yall gotta wake up this is 2010 and its only getting worse educate yourself

[pzgdr]

war on drugs is war on people..fact...the trillions of dollars spent on this war have resulted in nothing but a increasing prison population which can and are used as slave labour in many states..private prisons make profits for their shareholders and drugs are cheaper now then ever before,more widely available too..

[SpeedyOJ]

"war on drugs is war on people"

correction, WAR ON BLACK AND LATINO PEOPLE

[pzgdr]

nuff white folks in there too..war on poor people is about it..

[majikninja07]

RegulateAndEducate the war on drugs like the one lady said is a war on poor people, cia forever has been involved in selling drugs and it only pulls money out of the lower and middle class economies and puts it straight into wallstreet as seen in the iran contra affair, and to think they stopped because one of their operations were found is wishful in the least

[AmericaDrugFree]

Thanks to prisons where all the pot junkies go, America is a safer place to live. The War on evil drugs is necessary to protect our children from harm. Without it corrupted politicians would receive lots of money from drug cartels to help them import these nasty substances.

[hempoilsoldier]

pot junkies

what planet are you from

go watch run from the cure on youtube and msg me back

it will take 70 minutes

so takke your time

if your against pot being legal to protect your kids or all kids

give your head a shake ,pot is every where

it will never be gone ....ever

[evb4mvp]

then why dont we arrest all those who drink and smoke tobacco? the war on drugs has done the complete opposite, it has created more crime.

[Ladiestreat]

What the fuck was Reagan thinking? I hate that unamerican piece of shit.

[hempoilsoldier]

reagan was a piece of shit like nixon

why is gerald ford never mentioned

he was a president of the usa

not one mention of him

do you know why?

How do we stop the CIA bringing in cocaine, and heroin?

[Airportris]

lol you dont.. thats the whole point... the cocaine brings money, problems, criminals.. which brings jails, cheap workers and lots of profits in different economies

[edupbeat]

And I'm hailing from the southeast side of Chicago ( home of Michele/ Barack) and I'm 29, with no criminal record who's seen most of my homies from childhood and brother become a casualty of this shit! So I ask again, what is the so-called "black messiah" gonna offer for a resolution?

[RegulateAndEducate]

Its all about money and population control and the war on drug targets certain races. Its wrong and needs to be stopped Leap (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition) are fighting real hard to endthe war on drugs 10,000 and counting and anyone can join and help end this bs Imagine the cities with no drug dealers and the kids getting better schools from the money saved on ending the war on drugs and the addicts getting the help they need rehab and other programs to help them and educate them

[edupbeat]

It make u wonder...what is the Obama admin is gonna DO about this? Yeah, I bet nothing.

[TheIronWebRocks]

It's not just conservative Christians. I've argued with people way over on the leftist/socialist side who insist that people have to be locked up for using drugs. It seems to me that people need a group of people to blame things on - a group they can be cruel to and feel good about it. Being meaner to "criminals" always goes over well with the voting public. Some of these voters will be shocked when their grandmothers end up in prison for being in the wrong car at the wrong time.

[talon115]

You are right!

[talon115]

The conservative christians are the folks to thank for this beast...they've always needed a "devil" ...the republicans realized this so they gave them one.

[BlackPower10100]

True talon very true

[jimmybones]

and JEWS too

[CenturionPhysique]

right jimmy

[howardgary88]

haha do u realize how ignorant you sound. it scares me to know people like you are walking and talking and actualy living on the same planet as me.

[randy109]

I've counseled drug addicts. What you find among addicts are that they're mostly slaves to their addiction and are NOT criminals. People who are hooked on cocaine or heroin are no worse, and not much different than, Alcoholics. Self destructive addictions cannot be controlled by the government and due to the high profit margins of illegal narcotics guarantee that there will ALWAYS be drugs on our streets (and inside our jails and prisons). The whole "War on Drugs" mentality is about MONEY!!

[hint0122]

then what is your answer?

[EbonyNewsChannel]

@randy109 the CIA IS THE MASTER DRUG DEALER.. they bring the drugs into the country and neighborhoods. They control the poppy production ( Heroin) in Afghanistan.

[Gettinghitonattheban]

@randy109

Close. Money is power. It's a consolidation of power based on a system that requires there be a fucker and a fuckee.

[jontheplatypus]

@randy109 Don't forget that slaves...er...prisoners work for $0.25/hr and supply the labor for a large portion (vast majority) of various arms, helmets, and bullet proof vests.

[mwells219]

it's only the poor and often black people who go to jail for drug related crime as well. The coke and heroin users who are higher up in society never go to jail.

[fuckpopularbelief]

@randy109 They made a bad and costly one. Then they did it again, and again...then they were hooked.

[seze70]

wall street thrives on the laundering of drug money..the war on drugs is a farce..the corruption is deeply rooted in our government.

[blueangel528hz]

The enemy is are pucking government!! THE BUSH- CLINTON gangsters.

[smurfarooney2003]

drugs are so widely available anyway i cud get any drug before i could by alcohol people make a choice if they want to try or not wether legal or ilegal doesnt matter

[fridogg]

the Reagan admin brought in tons of drugs. The crack problem was advertised and made it worse. "CRACK BABIES" never happenend

[BruderNr1]

Everyone only talks about people with drug problems all the time. It's always said drugs are dangerous, but this movie makes it clear: The war on drugs is also dangerous. There are more than 500.000 people, who are arrested because of the terrible crime possession of marijuana. If drugdealers are criminal than people at the front of the drug war are criminal as well.

[mystikast]

Everyone must watch

war on the drugs is a war on the people

[bububeta]

The american govt is the biggest major drug importer in the United States. It supplies the incredible consumption of cocaine etc by this disgusting crackhead american nation.

[dstevens101]

This, you will notice, is exactly the model used in the 'War on Terror'.

Some bean counting sociopath figured out how to solve about 10 problems, the big one is how to have a war without end. Bingo! We already have one, why invent another? Just rewrap the War on Drugs and we can milk America for BILLIONS, and use Americans to fight Israels war in the Middle East. Heck, let's sprinkle in the Bible just for fun; look how far the Zionists have given that book a run so far. Ka-ching..LAND!

[Vard2]

The war on terrorism is a fake. 911 was a setup by Bush and CO. War on drugs is the war on poor Americans who use mostly soft drugs.

[beatnikjd]

This is a war against the citizens of this country. Dea agents have demonstrated time and time again that they are nothing but sociopaths and thugs! We have millions of what are essentially political prisoners.

[DrakeAlturas]

great video, I'll feature it on my page ^_^

5 star and fave too =D
