although I've been well aware of the billions that the Bush Junta has been pouring into Colombia for the U.S. war on union organizers, small peasant farmers and political leftists (i.e., the "war on drugs"), where these innocent persons are being chainsawed and their body parts thrown into mass graves by rightwing paramilitaries with very close ties to the Uribe (Bush's pal's) government (chief of the military, former chief of intelligence and many Uribe office holders including relatives).
The "war on drugs" has many uses to Bushites (and corrupt Democrats as well)--creation of a police state, creation of fascist allies in South America (--amidst a huge, peaceful, democratic, leftist (majorityist) revolution that is sweeping the continent), feeding the 'military-industrial complex' beast, feeding the 'prison-industrial complex' beast, making lots of illicit money (Colombian rightwing paramilitaries into major drug trafficking as well as chainsawing leftists--and who knows what funds the Bush Junta has stashed here and there, besides the billions they've stolen directly from our federal coffers?).
So, to them, of course, sending our nation's 'drug czar' to Republican Congressional campaign events makes perfect sense. The 'war on drugs' is one of their chief gravy trains, and an important tool in oppressing the poor majority.
Did you know that, when black citizens of urban areas are sent to prison, the prison is often located in white rural areas, and the black bodies are counted as residents of these white rural areas, in order to pad the rural area's population numbers and achieve unwarranted representation in Congress, as well as unwarranted federal aid? By means of the ruinous and murderous 'war on drugs,' they not only drain black votes from urban areas, the presence of these black prisoners in white rural areas is used to give white rural votes more weight than they should have. The black prisoners in white rural areas don't get to vote--and are often denied the right to vote in any venue. But they're counted as rural, rightwing, Republican numbers.
As I said, the 'war on drugs' has many uses. This is just one of them--the loss of black votes and their conversion to white power, in the 'prison-industrial complex."
The criminalization of drugs, and also of prostitution, serves the interests of the most fascist elements in our political establishment, and not the interests of the majority. The majority of Americans would be much, much better off--financially and as to 'safe streets,' and, yes, even as to personal health--if all drugs were legalized as well prostitution. In truth, the government has no business whatsoever dictating what adults can ingest, or forbidding adults to take money for sex. These laws have vastly corrupted our government in every way--including foreign policy!--and are as destructive of true 'law and order' as the prohibition of alcohol was in the 1920s.
