Drug lords have friends in high places

[TheRhinehart86]

Is this new to anyone? Has no one heard of Air America, or Iran-Contra? Does no one wonder why acid, a drug that cant possibly kill you, is so heavily controlled that only 6 people in the US are even allowed to conduct research on it, yet youre spending millions of dollars a day to protect Afghan death merchants? Oh thats right because you make acid by the bucket full so its not profitable and it isnt addictive. Funny how drug classing is inversly proportional to its physical addictiveness

[th3dig1tal0n3]

All that fine opium turns into the superb heroin thanks to the chemicals supplied by the US companies operating in Afghanistan. Half of the heroin ends up on illegal markets across ex Soviet republic and other half is safely transported to terrorist country of Kosova where is cut and redistributed across the Europe and US.

Money makes the world go round, no doubt. Heroin too.

How many more examples of our government gone bad do we need, Its not america, its our corrupt political system, and the people that have been involved in our government for the past 50 years. Letting our government officials run wars, and decide who can break the laws and who can't, protecting poppy fields with our Marines, so that the people of afganistan won't turn against us, are you out of your fucking mind. Vote tea party people, the dems and republicans, need to go.

nly8nchz... its probably the basis of the "Black economy" that is used to manipulate prices & control markets unfairly behind the scenes.

Billions go out of the US every year in drugs money.. all the drug lords have to do, is buy a bank & they can transfer as much as they like from wherever they want, without ANY oversight... because Banks don't have to declare where the money comes from.. only individuals do... so if you OWN the bank...?

[ejbh3160]

What I find quite interesting here is that my original comment from 3 days ago had +24 thumbs up after 2 days & then it suddenly dropped down to +7 without more comments being added or people disagreeing or anything (except dirtyboy of course, who regularly trolls this site)

Its odd that a comment thats generally popular should SUDDENLY drop out like that. Could there be covert 'censorship' going on with the 'ratings' system? lol

[gabeh73]

obama supports lifting the ban on needle exchange,

That language appeared on the President's own website, until it was ominously removed a couple weeks ago. Today, the President's Budget (pg. 795) announces Obama's decision to continue the federal needle exchange ban:

"Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, no funds appropriated in this Act shall be used to carry out any program of distributing sterile needles or syringes for the hypodermic injection of any illegal drug.

[gabeh73]

Nice to see some real news on here. Yes, the government runs the drugs...only the naive believe otherwise. From the East India Tea company to Oliver North, George Bush and Bill Clinton. Besides the obvious money motive, there is also the benefits for the prison industrial complex and the erosuion of civil liberties which those in government crave.

[duba3988]

[audadvnc]

The US Gov't, through its puppet government, is 100% responsible for the opium drug trade. The old Taliban had wiped out opium; US troops invaded, and opium is bigger than ever. The USA has made a deal with the Devil it cannot hope to win.

But the Bush family has always been making money from opium, so it will continue.

[yo1dude1man]

Why are people surprised when they get to know that the USA are in the drug business.

Like when the CIA were in the cocaine business in Colombia for years and then covered it up.

Where there is money to make even if dirty the USA is always there.

[VolkWelt]

[blackiron60]

No drug trade anywhere could flourish without powerful assistance.

[Etimos]

clearly you've never studied the history of abolition. Most drug trades are actually very low-key, individual or small-group based operations with a few powerful figures. the main reason that this one is under such scrutiny is that the US is actually helping them grow instead of trying to stop them.

Pot, for example, is primarily a small-grower operation, with a few big growers here and there. Meth is an increasingly popular drug because it can be made in small operations in basements.

[888zzz]

There's no war on drugs. The CIA has always used the worldwide drug trade to fund its military operations, pharmaceuticals are the fifth leading cause of death and the leading cause of addiction and they're perfectly legal, tobacco kills 470,000 Americans annually and is heavily advertised, the prison industry and prison guard union are always lobbying for tougher drug penalties. Everything's just a business in a business system. The public and environment are irrelevant.

[Etimos]

Tobacco is still advertised there, eh? In canada it's not allowed to be advertised in most public mediums. In fact it cant even be displayed publicly in stores now, it has to be stored in closed and locked compartments and not at all visible to the public. The cabinet where they are stored cant even have any tobacco related logos on it.

Then again, pharmaceuticals cant be advertised here either. The only "Ask your doctor..." adverts I ever see are on US channels.

[ChoofMonster]

Australia has similarly enforced tobacco laws, and smoking is banned in all enclosed public areas (including bars, casinos and nightclubs) as well as some outdoor places.

The tobacco industry is now concentrating on new markets in emerging economies where restrictions are lax or non-existent.

[webovisionca]

Alex Jones reports the REAL news online at  INFOWARS com

[Packitlikesardines]

Occasionally, but he scrutinizes "reality" through a lens of fantasy based facts and fear mongering, by standards referred to as conspiracy theorism or puritan lunacy.

[webovisionca]

are you saying main stream media doesn't "scrutinize" reality?

I encourage you to use your critical mind in anything you are told.

[Packitlikesardines]

No, I wasn't saying anything about main stream media. I was merely giving Alex Jones an ounce of credit for occasionally telling the truth amongst the blur of partisan hacking and corporate lobbyism that has occupied your entire field of media, before slamming him for being a self-important inacademic DJ who seriously believes he's the only one who has got a legitimate perspective. And please, skip the "I am enlightened and you are sheep" thing. It is pure filibustering and boring.

[webovisionca]

Aren't all media personalities exactly what you describe? Sounds like I have a tender nerve there somewhere.

[Packitlikesardines]

No my friend, only the american ones. And I guess Mr. Jones has adopted the very same loud-mouthed agenda as the others, though with slightly more honest but nonetheless kvasi-crackpot beliefs. A valid point however is that The Real News present the same non corporate funded news as Jones, though without getting into paranoid fear mongering. Instead they try to stick to nuanced, fact based news and opinions. How's that for a modest attempt at saving the nowadays shrewd american media landscape?

[AlexJonesWebovision]

He is a loud mouthed Texan, I take that into consideration and counterbalance that. 1000's of people have been interviewd by him, and these people also have a side to the conversation. He provides dozens of main stream news references daily that you can check out for yourself. The events on 9/11 and many other things should be investigated... it is suitable to ask questions about things that don't seem quite right, and shouldn't be considered un-patriotic, do you think? cheers

[Packitlikesardines]

I am Swedish so I fucking despise patriotism (which is being proud for your parents making hot love on a given piece of land.) I'm an Orwellian so yes I would like to see the government secrecy and hypocrisy on the question of 9/11 investigated thoroughly. What regards Alex Jones is that he can be reasonable when he wants. But this is only when he brings on reasonable people like Joseph Stiglitz or Ron Paul.Ever noticed that he won't mention NWO, 9/11 or the bilderberg group on those occasions?

[webovisionca]

The word Patriotism has been twisted. It did not mean 'Nationalism' like it does now. Here is quote that provides an idea of what patriotism once was and should be:

In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.

- Mark Twain 1904

[Packitlikesardines]

I have not read everything by Twain, but I am aware that he was a brilliant satirist, and taken out of context (Truth is that I don't know what the context is) it seems as though he was describing the childhood and adolescense of Adolf Hitler. In Sweden the patriots are the nazis, the white-trash trailer douchebags and the inbred low-lifes. Patriotism is the illusion provided to people as children that we are all different and that it is rational to die for man-made borders and ideas.

[webovisionca]

Are you seriously trying to tell me that the quote was 'describing the childhood and adolescense of Adolf Hitler'. That is absolutely ridiculous. In 1904 Hitler was 15 years old and unknown to almost everyone.

symbols and words represent different things to different people and meanings changes over time. What I am presenting to you that the 'white-trash trailer douchebags' as you put it, accept the misinterpretion of the word. We do not disagree on that.

[Packitlikesardines]

Hell Yeah! Didn't you know that Mark Twain was a supreme lizard being that knew everything in advance? That was the reason for his remarkable take on contemporary society; he knew how it was going to evolve and saw the ridiculousness of it from a future perspective. I'm super-cereal... It really seems as he was though.. when I think about it. Oh my, he foresaw the coming of Hitler. And that bastard didn't warn us in a way so that we could understand! Hitler was patriotism embodied. End of discu.

[croftjw]

"When patriotism appears in the US, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a bible."

probably misquoted and I don't recall the source, but the point stands.

[TheAnarchist33]

George Bush father is at the head of the American heroin cartel. He started by using the CIA to import heroin from Asia during the Viet-Nam war. They sent troops to Afghanistan because the Taliban would burn down poppy fields. If the military really wanted to stop the drug flow out of Afg., they would just have to drop some napalm on the fields, it would scare the hell out of potential farmers... Or take control of the farming to produce legal medicine, like morphine...

[retardedeskimo]

actually the CIA was importing cocaine not heroin. Bush wasn't president during the Vietnam war. America is in Afghanistan to restore gas pipelines destroyed by the Taliban. Dropping napalm on poppy fields would only reinforce a stronger support for the Taliban. Someone with anarchist in their name surely wouldn't support that?

[NobelMan1000]

@jacksoncarreras 100% correct

[hardwirecars]

@jacksoncarreras u do realize that vicoden started being used as the main pain reliver for surgery and other pains like that back in 2k

vidcoden is made from poppy

[ServingBongs]

@jacksoncarreras Yes, USA have flown the planes into their own twin towers, for an excuse to invade Afghanistan, they lost the war in Vietnam, and they've lost the war on drugs. And now for the war on "terror"

PFFT

I can think of 60 different definitions for the word terror. If you look it up in the English dictionary, you'll see America's picture underneath it.

[GalaticSpaceHero]

@jacksoncarreras yea ! your right! i reported supply line at FT BRAGG and was fired from my job and almost killed. Then soldiers went down to Florida and told everybody i was snitch. LTC tried to have be droped, Its a New York connection

[ejbh3160]

The world should simply buy the crop and use it in legal pain relief drugs like morphine & dia-morphine. Natural versions of drugs if grown organically, are usually better for people in health applications than their chemical pharma counterparts.

Of course this idea will only work if all drugs are legallized, taxed, regulated.& then education & information used to deter people from abusing drugs.

[dirtyboy830]

Fucking idiot. That's just what the drug lords want! they wanted this silly war in Afghanistan! It's so obvious if you would just quit repeating globalist propaganda... or maybe you're a drug addict yourself?

[webovisionca]

You do realize that morphine & dia-morphine aren't used by addicts? They are used by patients in the hospital and it helps save people lives and relieve extreme pain. If you ever used medicine for pain relief, than you're the $%$# idiot

[TheAnarchist33]

Junkies don't use morphine? Tell that to my dead friend, he abused all kinds of legal drugs and it ended up killing him! And also, marijuana does miracles for my chronic back pain!

[webovisionca]

Good point about marijuana. Good point about legal drugs being abused as well. Alcohol and cigarette kill alot of people too. When used carefully under extreme circumstances morphine be very effective.

Electricity kills people too, but if used carefully it can be very useful.

[ejbh3160]

webovisionca.. morphine is the drug of choice for doctors when faced with a patient who has a permanent painful disability because 'addiction' is less of an issue.

The reason is because mankind has been taking opiates since the beginning of time & our bodies are well adapted to taking it over long periods. Our brains even have 'receptors' that accept the opiates perfectly & this is why they work.

Pharmacutical pain killers have more serious side-effects when taken long-term or in large amounts!

[dirtyboy830]

What's morphine made out of?

[ejbh3160]

dirtyboy...The structural formula of morphine was determined in 1925 and confirmed in 1952 when two methods of total synthesis were also published.

Look it up if you want to know how to synthesize it yourself.. or did you think all pharma morphines came from opium plant crops? (no need to answer really)

The illegal crops are used in the 'illegal' trade while genuine patients in pain get the synthetic variety.

[ejbh3160]

ahh dirtyboy We've had this out before.

No point in repeating it all now

You won't learn as you're stuck in a narrow mindset that only sees in black & white. This 'silly war' as you call it is costing the lives of hundreds of our soldiers & disabling hundreds more?

& yes I you could say I'm a 'drug addict' as I'm disabled & on pain medication. Personally I'd prefer it if my meds came from plants grown organically in the clean Himalayan mountain waters than from a chemically synthesized version!

[dirtyboy830]

"This 'silly war' as you call it is costing the lives of hundreds of our soldiers & disabling hundreds more?"

Do you know what sarcasm is?

[ejbh3160]

dirtyboy..

this one is really ironic!

so when you said...

"they wanted this silly war in Afghanistan!"

you were being "sarcastic" were you??

More to the point is.. Do YOU know what sarcasm means???

LOL

[dirtyboy830]

Jesus Christ you're dumber than I thought. Read: I think the Afghanistan War is wrong. If that doesn't put what I said into context you must possess the brain of an Australian abo.

and oddly enough... you are just as dumb as I remember you were.

...and you're a foul mouthed racist into the bargain!

Do us all a favour and go and play with the pigs & with any luck you'll catch flu.

[dirtyboy830]

You didn't even read, much less think about anything I've said. All you can do is make personal attacks because you have nothing to say.

[ejbh3160]

Good grief! I had to read this post of yours 3 times! So I looked back over our exchange & what was the FIRST thing you said to me:

"Fucking idiot. That's just what..."

excuse me dirtyboy who's making personal attacks on who?

& yes I DID read your posts, I just didn't agree with them.

I'd bet you haven't figured out that the price of drugs would fall if they were legalized? It would cut the organized criminals out of the loop & it would deprive the Taleban of their funds to buy more weapons!

[ejbh3160]

@badattitude77769 yet more good reasons imo... sadly they've usurped power at every level. That's much of what the first three Godfather movies were about... the rise & rise of organised crime through various forms of 'prohibition' & then expanding into the 'legit' (cough cough) world.

IF the main cause of addiction is sexual abuse then by making drugs illegal all you are doing is abusing those people even MORE by turning them into criminals & banging them up in jail! The idea of regulating & legalising drugs is to show some compassion to those very people!

By all means deal with the root cause (sexual abuse) AS WELL!

Why not pull back and if al qaeda comes back, we'll have a target to bomb. But why are we there if no good is coming from it?? the taliban: still in effect, drug production up, and a corrupt govt that kills any chance of people in that region cooperating with us.
