FRIED EGGS

With the anniversary for 9/11 came the opening of the U.S. Drug Enforcement
Administration's "Target America" touring propaganda exhibit.

The taxpayer-funded museum mockery implements the same simplistic logic the
DEA loves about drugs and the connection between narcotic trafficking and
terrorism, while omitting the real story about the failed U.S. "War on
Drugs."

What? Did some Americans say that they would like to see an exhibit that
tells the story about that failed war, the abuse of billions of taxpayer
dollars to interfere with other nations' governments and to harass and
imprison thousands of our citizens? Well, though it isn't funded by millions
of taxpayer dollars, the D.C.-based Marijuana Policy Project has responded
to the targeting of America - and Americans - with its own exhibit that
tells a different story of terrorism and the war on drugs.

The exhibit (at www.mpp.org/TargetAmerica ) is called "Target America: The
DEA and You," and deals with acts committed by government agencies that may
have the look and feel of terrorism to their American victims.

Subject matter for the MPP exhibit includes the story of raiding legal
medical cannabis dispensaries and taking the medicine from the sick and
dying, to killing innocent people such as missionaries Roni and her
one-year-old daughter Charity Bowers, killed by a drug interdiction flight
and 20-year-old Jose Colon who was visiting a friend at a home where police
later found eight ounces of marijuana.

The MPP site is dedicated to 18-year-old Esequiel Hernandez, shot (in the
back) and killed by U.S. Marines (The Marines were operating illegally
according to U.S. law that does not allow - yet - for our armed forces to
patrol in this manner inside our borders, though the Desert Post WEEKLY has
received accounts of at least one other recent USMC internal policing
operation in California, unverified by authorities) while tending goats
outside his Texas home. Documentation of the coldly cruel harm done to AIDS
and cancer patients by the DEA's raids in this state (leading to the largest
number of American citizens seeking political asylum in Canada since
Vietnam), as well as an analysis of the real links between the drug war and
terrorism.

This is the brain of drug czar John Walters. Crack. This is John Walters'
brain gone mad on taxpayer money, power and greed.

Not pretty is it?
