"War on Drugs" Failure or planned this way!
http://www.thoughtpolicy.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=5

"The War on Drugs. Thirty years of complete, miserable failure. Or is it working as intended? With a budget increase of over 40,000% (yes, percent) since this "war" was first declared, we have seen nothing but a rise in drug-related crime, a booming prison population (the industrialized world's largest), and more and more hard drugs in every city in America. "

PRISON = 9 OF 10..WILL COME BACK AGAIN!

PROFITS = Huge untraceable money

POPULATION = ruins live's and affecting all of society not just the abusers..

POISOIN = MINDS,BODIES AND SOULS

POLITICIANS = Condemn it with tough talk while closing rehabs and building the prison industry...


" this is not the way to put an end to war.."

1. War, war, war....
We've had a war on poverty, a war on drugs and now a war on terror. Did any of them ever do anything except generate revenue for suppliers of such efforts? Not only that the language itself is harsh and negative.....:shrug:

2. When you hear talk of 'perpetual war' & 'perpetual markets' from
the neoliberals and returning to 19th Century England.. you have to wonder if ... the poor and the prison population are the ones who will be signing up for that huge army. Just like the hungry and the prisoners did for 'rule Britannia'.

I don't know.

3. Planned this way...
Hello from Germany,

The CIA might be one of the largest if not THE largest drug-dealing-company on this entire planet to finance their covert actions, financing terrorism etc.

Without the drug-money going into the stockmarkets, the US-economy might simply collapse.

One of the reasons, apart from the oil-pipeline, to attack Afghanistan might have been that the Taliban-Regime did seriously reduce the opium-production.
Now that a U.S. puppet-regime is installed in Afghanistan, it has become the largest opium-producer again.

Before you call me a conspiracy-theorist, maybe start to study Kerry's report about Iran-Contra. It's worth reading.

The "War against Terror" is a state-terrorist war against human rights, social justice and democracy.
The "War against Drugs" is a state-terrorist war of state-sponsered-drug dealers against human rights, social justice and democracy.

Dirk
