Parents and all manner of decent citizens will tell you that we must eradicate the use of illegal drugs within our society, tempting our youth and ruining the inner cities as they do and have done. But the inside story of street drugs shows our own government to be involved in the trafficking and release of these substances, as well as the manufacturing process itself. Wall Street operates on laundered drug money, without which our country's biggest corporate deals could not take place. (Read The Politics of Heroin by Alfred McCoy (1991) and Cocaine Politics by Peter Dale Scott (1991).) The "drug problem" conveniently creates a need to "solve" the drug problem. See the DVD "Plan Colombia" (by Gerard Ungerman and Audrey Brohy) and find out how the US government's noble $3-billion plan to eradicate coca in Colombia was really about securing its oil-rich land. Did you think for a minute that the "counterculture" could have been created too? Mind-altering drugs are effective weapons and agents of control. Yet how to experiment on subjects ...? Create a climate and pretend to fight the results, and you have all the varieties of experimentation you need. Read this phenomenal article by journalist Michael Kreca.
