War, Terrorism and Drugs a Hat Trick for the National Security State

If you care about civil liberties, human rights or the democratic process, then I suspect the last few years have not been the best of times for you. We have a government that is running out of control, torturing people, kidnapping people, dropping bombs on people and trashing our Constitution. Sure everyone was hopeful about the new administration. But it turns out that Obama is just Bush lite. OK ok he is not “as bad as Bush” but give the man time. He has already told us that he supports indefinite detention with-out trial or charge, he has refused to prosecute criminals from the previous administration and he is escalating the war in Afghanistan. Also he has said he does not intend to legalize marijuana so forget about other mind altering substances.
War, Drugs and Terrorism are perfect tools for the National Security State. All of them facilitate no knock entries, illegal wire taps and any one who dissents is an enemy of the state during war time. It’s perfect. Cheney was no fool; he started the war he said will not end in our lifetime. As long as we have constant war and the scourge of drugs and terrorism to fight against Americans will just have to accept that the deal has changed. No more healthy dissent, protests and protesters will be closely watched and monitored by the FBI, Home Lands Security and any number of other agency’s that are here to protect us. Infiltrator-provocateurs are back in fashion and people who march in the streets with peace signs are radicals who are undermining the war effort. But hold on just one second. I seem to recall something.

Washington has supported a myriad of dictators and terrorists. Let’s see, there was Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Husain, Suharto, Batista, Noriega and about 40 more I could rattle off but I’m sure you get the point. Now I also recall the Kerry Commission exposing the Iran Contra Operation as a drugs and gun dealing scheme. Yes it was Lt Col. Oliver North that organized flights in and out of El Salvador, Honduras and John Hulls ranch in Costa Rica, transporting cocaine and marijuana to the US and taking guns back to Latin America. Hmm Now, we also have this little war in Iraq that was sold to us on a lie about WMDs. Granted Washington had the receipt so I’m sure they were surprised when they couldn’t find what they had sold. It’s kind of like a buy bust; then the cops get to the dealers house there are no drugs. But they know they sold him drugs so where could they be?

I’m calling BULLSHIT on the whole deal; the wars we are fighting are creating terrorists not eliminating them. They have nothing to do with our security and everything to do with the Military Industrial Complex and feeding the dogs of war that make huge profits on death. Besides Washington is in bed with more than their share of terrorists and dictators there is no way to sell our wars as liberations or spreading democracy that is nonsensical. The war on drugs just keeps drug prices high so the government can keep funding illegal wars with the profits and keep fueling the Prison Industrial Complex. I mean remember what Bill Casey said just before he died. He said he loved the Iran Contra Operation because it allowed the company to do things off the shelf. Meaning they didn’t have to ask congress for the money to make war they could sell guns and dope and get all the money they needed.

Using drugs is a matter that should be between a person and their body.
Terrorism and war are the same thing. Bombing civilians is terrorism.
War kills civilians more than it kills soldiers. Legalize drugs, criminalize war and give us a new constitution, the old one has funk on it from laying in the trash for too long. And make the new constitution include black people from the beginning. It’s a new day America lets start fresh and begin by calling a couple things by their right name.
War=terrorism
Drug dependency = health issue not a crime
I know it’s a small start but hey I’m willing to try. How hard could it be to end war, legalize drugs and start respecting human rights? Besides you don’t work for justice because you can accomplish it, you work for justice because it’s the right thing to do.
