"What is "Racist and Inaccurate" on my statement that ALL FED chairmen have been JEWISH.

Please explain."

All Fed Chairmen have not been Jewish, Paul Volker for example, and it is not a strictly "Jewish operation". It is the central bank of the United States of America.

@WilhelmDrake It is a private bank which controls your government. And you are it's slave. You make it sound official, just like they brainwashed you too. Fool, wake up..

[WilhelmDrake]

@TheDonster666

I'm Canadian. Our Central Bank is a Crown Corporation. Not that it makes much difference operationally.

@coinageboy

Not only are your comments disgustingly racist, inaccurate & ignorant, they have nothing to do with the topic of conversation or that of the lecture.

[1979john1979]

Well it just makes sense.

[WilhelmDrake]

Unless you support organized crime, government and police corruption, and all the social problems that stem from drug prohibition, one should be in favour of legalization.

I would much rather have the government regulate drugs than the Mafia.

This does not mean one condones drug use. In fact one could be anti-drug use and still be pro-legalization.

I support the the repeal of anti-sodomy laws throughout the world, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna start engaging in sodomy.

@WilhelmDrake That's correct but unfortunately Dr Mate is forgetting one thing or maybe he just doesn't know that the governments who pass tough legislation against drugs have within them compartments that traffic in these drugs. They use their influence in the system to keep these laws in place for two reasons,

1. It keeps their competition at bay. and

2. Keeps the price of illegal drugs high.

These aren't merely unsupported conspiracy theories the evidence is there

@TonyBurke100 LAPD narcotics detective, Mike Ruppert, who exposed the CIA drug importers during the 70s has gone from cop to activist almost costing him his life. Now a best selling author and general pain in the US empire's ass has ALL the evidence you could want to support the claims made earlier.

@TonyBurke100

I completely agree. Those who are profiting from status quo want to keep things the same and they use their massive fortunes to ensure it remains so. Government and police corruption is a huge problem but there are honest cops & politicians out there advocating for an end to drug prohibition. We need a united grassroots effort to force our politicians to do the right thing and end prohibition. Luckily, all the evidence is on our side.

Obama is just like most of the hypocritical phonies from my generation who did drugs when they were young. Now that they don't personally do drugs, they don't care about the hundreds of thousands of people in jail for just pot alone. As for Mr. Lemaitre, I'd like to plant some weed in his house and have a swat team raid his house, kill his dog and throw him in jail.

@glennd7962

Bunch of hypocrites eh?

[gilraen789]

Politicians in our era do not want to lead-they want to follow public opinion. No policy, however wise, gains any political traction until it can be seen not to be a liability to the public's perception of the government. The holding of power is everything-what a government accomplishes for citizens is strictly secondary. Since it is up to the public to provide leadership, we all need to voice our opinions and do the work of educating the public, because our "leaders" clearly won't.

[yoyojemojo]

Why would they possibly be interested in doing that? It's akin to asking someone to give up their life's work.

Politicians aren't actually too dull to function. Why do we so often assume they are too dull to function. The 'War' on Drugs is brilliant. There isn't much revenue in actually Controlling potentially dangerous chemicals. The only way billions can be made is by - NOT - controlling them, at all. Enter Prohibition. It's sheer brilliance.

@RevolutionNewsDotUS2 and why should we not get high on weed, in perfect safety, when we are allowed to get high on booze. It kills almost 2 million people a year.
