Every country has drug prohibition just like every country has overlords. "They", like I mentioned must somehow benefit from the war on drugs. It's kind of like how the food chain works, in a sense, just my opinion.

I think it's funny how they keep trying to fight the war on drugs. They are NOT going to win, ever. They simply fuel the black market and the violence that comes with it.

I feel like that's what they want, "they" obviously benefit somehow or it wouldn't be happening.

It is a way they can both control American citizens and also dominate central and South American nations. It is to the benefit of the military industrial complex to maintain this status quo.

Actually, Zappa, Mike Elk of The Nation, a mainstream left leaning periodical (as you know), has written about military contractors (Lockheed Martin & Boeing) paying prison laborers 23 cents per hour to work on assembling Patriot Missiles.  So, the war on drugs providing extremely cheap labor to military contractors = Zappaiswrong.

  I peed.  First of all, Lockheed and Boeing aren't paying the prisoners, the government is.  I don't know what Lockheed is paying the government.  I should think it would be more since the government is already feeding and housing and providing health care for the shitbags.  Second of all I doubt that prison employees make up one thousandth of one percent of the L/B workforce and that drug offenders are all of them.

KooKoo, KooKoo.

I think you're missing my point Zappa. Not one of us common folk know what the hell is really going on behind the scenes. Taking that into consideration, it can't hurt to let everyone voice their opinions without calling them koo koo or a nutjob for having different views than you. Keeping an open mind is not retarded.

Also, the US funds & equips (pays US military contractors) billions of dollars in foreign aid  "justified" by the war on drugs to countries such as Columbia.  Again, funding US contractors and foreign armies in the name of the war on drugs = Zappaiswrong.

---

No shit the US pays people for drug enforcement.  So does every other nation in the world.  But no, its all about the military industrial profiteering.    Keep up the KooKoo.

you know I think I'm giving you 5 shrooms just because of how honest you were when you gave yourself the title ( Horrid Asshole ) seriously though man how do you have all this inside info on government operations? Media? I hope you'll say your an elite member of the ruling class because whatever you read or see on the news could easily be lies to satisfy the ears and eyes of the common man.
