Post 9/11 I used to ask “Do you support drug prohibition because it finances criminals at home or because it finances terrorists abroad?” Because the Taliban used the sales of Afghan opium to support their terrorism efforts. Just recently I came across this blog post on the Lame Cherry blog that confirms that and also confirms what Mike Ruppert and Catherine Austin Fitts said about how drug dealing supports the NWO.
Once you comprehend that Obama has been centralizing the world drug trade with al Qaeda and the Taliban joined by world communist regimes, one starts to see what Obama handing over Afghanistan to the Taliban again is about, and what this new pipeline into Europe is about and how dope shipments flow into America under the guise of drug interdiction.
The statement “dope shipments flow into America under the guise of drug interdiction.” is corroborated by Ruppert and Fitts. All the facts I’m aware of on the subject are reprised on the Lame Cherry blog. Which makes me inclined to buy into the rest of what she says. (well I assume it is a she)
All that may go a long way towards explaining why drug user Obama has been on a jihad against medical pot dispensaries. Such dispensaries cut into drug cartel profits. Marijuana is a significant fraction of cartel profits. Which may also explain why the city of Los Angeles is cracking down on cannabis dispensaries and why the Feds are cracking down on San Francisco dispensaries.
It appears though that Latin America has has had enough. From April of this year:
BOGOTA, Colombia — When President Obama arrives in Colombia for a hemispheric summit this weekend, he will hear Latin American leaders say that the U.S.-orchestrated war on drugs, which criminalizes drug use and employs military tactics to fight gangs, is failing and that broad changes need to be considered.
Latin American leaders say they have not developed an alternative model to the approach favored by successive American administrations since Richard Nixon was in office. But the Colombian government says a range of options — including decriminalizing possession of drugs, legalizing marijuana use and regulating markets — will be debated at the Summit of the Americas in the coastal city of Cartagena.
Faced with violence that has left 50,000 people dead in Mexico and created war zones in Central America, regional leaders have for months been openly discussing what they view as the shortcomings of the U.S. approach. But the summit marks the first opportunity for many of them to directly share their grievances with Obama.
It appears that the last hold outs in the US are the Christian Conservatives who, while they are rabidly against the NWO, are loathe to strike a serious blow against it by legalizing drugs. The Baptists have always been the bootlegger’s best friends and both support the right politicians.
When this long war (the Drug War) is over I predict that the support for “Christianity” in America will decline precipitously. As a fried of mine likes to ask WWJD? Certainly he did not declare war on people’s “bad habits”. Otherwise he would have been calling for alcohol prohibition. Or stoning adultresses.

I hope that once the Wars on Drugs and Poverty end – in failure – we can de-politicize Christianity.
Let’s not forget the DOJ effort to coordinate Mexican organized crime with the Outfit, via Fast and Furious. The Outfit runs Chicago. Who do we know in Washington whose political career was fabricated in Chicago?
Bram,
It is the Christians who have politicized Christianity. The could stop it today if they wanted to.
It all went bad at the Council of Nicaea.
Lame Cherry might be more believable if it were written in a closer approximation to English.
arcs,
Yeah. She takes some deciphering.
Damn! I meant to go to the Council of Nicaea but there was a big game that weekend. I feel terrible.

Yes, you should. LOL
When a person champions a law, he/she is limiting human action in some way. And along with the law comes the punishment for breaking the law. The creation of the law authorizes the police powers of the state to be used against those who break the law.
IOW, you champion the law, you champion the punishments. A lot of people like to forget that they are responsible for the punishments too. Drug warriors seem to be the most forgetful.
I recall a story about a young man in Florida killed in an early morning raid by LEO’s in the young man’s home. Police say that about $200 of pot was found.
A commenter on the story said something along the lines: Why would he put his life at risk for $200 of pot?
But of course, it wasn’t the pot that put him at risk. It was the law that put him at risk. The pot didn’t kill the young man, it was the bullets fired by the LEO that killed him.
The better question is: Why should any one’s life be at risk over $200 of pot?
So the people that voluntarily give money to the drug cartels so they can smoke dope are more/less responsible for what money the drug cartels have than the people that don’t give them money and want others to stop giving them money?
The drug users are wiling to unleash hell on the rest of us, and themselves, so they can do drugs but me must be angry at the people that don’t use and don’t support drug use? Thisinternet is a crazy place.
Uh. No. It is the people who don’t let you grow your own who are responsible.
It is not users of alcohol who support the cartels. It is the people who make it illegal.
You wouldn’t be one of those would you?
[…] Terrorists Dealing Drugs […]
I heard, back when the movie, “Charlie Wilson’s War” came out on video, that when we left Afghanistan, way back then, WE TAUGHT THEM how to grow opium poppies, manufacture dope, and get it to market. That was our parting gift to them so they could support themselves and relieve our guilt for leaving them destitute. The war on drugs is just for tv, it doesn’t really exist in real life. It may have back in the 60’s or 70’s, without being named as such, but they’re all in bed together now, in one way or another. It’s all scheme. All of it.
And that is EXACTLY why this admin has done the opposite of what it said it would do regarding medicinal pot, and is shutting them down! They give absolutely NO reason for it, be a sensible reason or any other reason. Like every other ludicrous thing this admin does, they just stay completely MUM about it (Unless it’s our country’s most important secrets, which they are willing to give away to try and make the idiot in chief look macho, which they should know better because it’s an impossible feat!). Not even a WHISPER of why they are shutting them down. And the ass kissing DNC media who get their talking points straight from the admin itself, they studiously abide and wont mention it either.
Eye,
Excellent points – every single one.
Pass out the links until it is impossible to ignore.
This article is a prime example of personal hatred getting in the way of making a good point.
I agree with most of what you wrote until the last paragraph when your hatred toward Christians oozed through your pores and merited a keyboard alert for laughter. Sheesh…no doubt hatred of Christians is very personal to you.
Sure, Baptist preachers were a bootleggers best friend, nearly a centry ago. But today, the churches help lead the fight against drug use and addiction. ots of people, not just Christians, don’t support legalizing drugs. Your grand leap blaming them made you look spiteful and hateful and soiled your point. Was it Chic Fil A?
Becky,
I had a long discussion with a very Christian libertarian the other day and we found ourselves quite simpatico.
I truly have nothing against Jesus although I am not a follower. In fact I could be considered a mild follower if the views of Arius were not considered heresy.
BTW why is WWJD? considered an attack on Christianity especially when uttered by a devoted Christian? And why is my repeating what a Christian said an attack on Christianity? His point was that Christians had fallen away from the teachings of Jesus. You know. Mercy. Or if you want to go back to the Hebrews – Hosea 6:6.
IIRC it was the falling away from mercy that was his chief complaint against the Jewish officials of his time. And the Drug War is certainly based on no mercy.
The “Christian” Right is the last major bastion of support for the War On Drugs. To deny this is to live in a different world.
About 70% of female heroin addicts were sexually abused in childhood.
Way more fruitful that the fight against “addiction” would be a fight against child abuse. And Joe Paterno “Christians”.

The churches fighting against drug use is exactly the problem. How do they differ from the Baptists of the 1920s who fought against alcohol use?
Scot M, every time the ghastly violence of prohibition is falsely blamed on the users, it diminishes the culpability of those who are truly responsible for maintaining the status quo. Prohibition is an absolute scourge -the end! The use of drugs is NOT the real problem, the system that grants exclusive distribution rights to violent cartels and terrorists IS.
When governments prohibit drugs they effectively and knowingly hand a monopoly on their sale to dangerous criminals and terrorists. Without a legal framework in which to operate, these black-market entities can always be expected to settle their disputes violently, while terrorizing many peaceful and innocent citizens in the process. Were the users of alcohol to blame for the St Valentines massacre in 1929? Of course not! It is just as naive to assume that one can compel all the users of Marijuana or Cocaine to simply quit, as it is to assume that all the users of Alcohol should have stopped drinking after the introduction of alcohol prohibition in 1919.
Prohibitionists like yourself dance hand in hand with every possible type of criminal one can imagine—An unholy alliance of ignorance, greed and hate which works to destroy all our hard fought freedoms, wealth and security.
We will always have adults who are too immature to responsibly deal with tobacco alcohol, heroin amphetamines, cocaine, various prescription drugs and even food. Our answer to them should always be: “Get a Nanny, and stop turning the government into one for the rest of us!”
EyeDunno, trust me, they’ve been growing opium in Afghanistan for hundreds of years.
Rudyard Kipling writes about it, for example.
I have a “Kindle single” (short e-book) to recommend to everyone here: “How to Get Away With Murder in America: Drug Lords, Dirty Pols, Obsessed Cops, and the Quiet Man Who Became the CIA’s Master Killer.” I read it last weekend and was blown away. http://amzn.to/NqWM1E

Yes, I knew someone would say that, and while it is true, if you look at the stats of the amount, you will see the absolutely ENORMOUS rise in output, just after that war. I used to have a link to the stats, but lost it in a puter crash.
