Marijuana Initiative Challenges Costly, Bloody Drug War

	We also need to consider carefully why the drug crisis is
	embedded in US military campaigns – from the Golden Triangle
	in the Vietnam War era, to cocaine and the Colombia
	counterinsurgency, and now to the current Afghanistan war,
	where 10,000 Europeans over-dosed on Afghan heroin during
	last year alone. Each of us must draw our own conclusions. It’s
	impossible to argue that our militarized approach has
	diminished global drug trafficking.

	"We're nobody's¨ protégé this administration, State Department
	hates our ass, NSC thinks we're scum, if Customs don't steal it
	out from under us, Justice and FBI try to either run it or fuck it up,
	and frankly," lowering his voice, "notice how cheap coke has 	
	been since '81? However in the world do you account for that?"

	"Roy! Is you're sayin' the President himself is duked into some
	deal? Quit foolin'! Next you'll be tellin' me George Bush."

	Roy kept a prop Bible on his desk, useful when he needed to
	get along with the born-agains in the Agency. He opened it and
	pretended to read. "Harken unto me, read thou my lips, for verily
	I say that wheresoever the CIA putteth in its meathooks upon
	the world, there also are to be found those substances which
	God may have created but the U.S. Code hath decided to
	control. Get me? Now old Bush used to be head of CIA, so you
	figure it out."

What Should We Make of the Charge Linking the Bush Family 	
Fortune to Nazism?

Prescott Bush

	Herbert Parmet writes: "In the summer and fall of 1942,
	Congress, under the authority of the Trading With the Enemy
	Act, seized the first group of entities, the UBC, the Holland-
	American Trading Corporation, and the Hamburg-American
	Line. Buchanan's diligence has discovered that the latter
	'reportedly smuggled Nazi spies into the U.S. before the war
	and encouraged U.S. 'Patriots' to travel to Germany and
	proselytize for Hitler in the early 1930s.' Much of this is
	confirmed by the new documentation. The UBC was not a 'bank'
	at all but 'in reality a clearing house' for many assets and
	enterprises held by Fritz Thyssen, a German steel magnate who
	has written about his role in helping to finance the Third Reich.
	Located close to Bush's 59 Wall Street office, it was 'founded in
	1924 by W. Averell Harriman on behalf of Thyssen and his 	
	Bank voor Handel en Scheepvaart N. V. of Holland.'"

And, yeah—I know my final citation is not "reliable," something about  
plausible deniability. Still, just remember that Bayer obviously has  
an interest in maintaining a stranglehold on certain useful substances.
