CRIME LINKS

Running after small-time drug runners is like living in a swamp and swatting
mosquitoes with a toothbrush ["Drugs--a link to crime," June 4].

The real links to crime are through criminal organizations and their link to
covert government operations. I believe drugs are just another form of mind
control--if you're gooned, there isn't much thinking going on about
important issues, like how much of the world's economy depends on drug
trafficking or who is really getting rich on all that suffering, and why
there is so much suffering in the first place.

Religion used to serve that purpose almost as well--keep the people so
fearful of God and the church there wasn't much time to think about the
kings, queens, lords and nobles living off the backs of the peasants.

Look up The CIA and Drugs, about the intimate relationship between the
United States government and drug trafficking, and traffickers with enough
money to buy justice. Throughout history the real conflict has been the
people versus the powerful, and the powerful have a burning desire to keep
the people enslaved whether it is through religion and the occult (the elite
have a huge number of secret societies as such, including the religious cult
inside the White House oddly called The Family--look up "Jesus Plus
Nothing," Harper's, March 2003), economic control (Bildeberg, for example),
military/police control and social controls (example: throwing people into
poverty, indebtedness, drugs). The Project for a New American Century,
headed by the finest US elite, considers the use of biological weapons
targetting genetically appropriate people as perfectly acceptable.

So we have a crazy religion with a warped leader that has terrible
weapons--and gee, we thought it was Saddam Hussein.

Oil, opium and blood flow freely from Iraq and Afghanistan, much more freely
than democracy, basic necessities and happiness. The holocaust on the Arab
children is deeply linked to the holocaust of our addicted children.

You just have to study the mosquitoes to know how to clean up the swamp.
