SPYING ON AMERICANS? HOW MANY AMERICAN CITIZENS DID THIS MOTHERFUCKER KILL?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO

There's a documentary out there that links cointelpro with the end/murder of the heads of the Los Angeles Black Panthers and the subsequent rise of the Crips and Bloods.

And the oddly, timely rise of Crack in South Central LA.

NO one in LA grew coke or knew how to make crack. Until then.

How fucking stupid an paranoid am I???

is lost on many (most) who find outrage here. Yes I find it, yet another, example of the "freedom" lie that we live, but this is just another derivation of the status quo.

Starting under Nixon and ramped up under Reagan, there was a crackdown on marijuana, particularly marijuana imports from South America. As interdiction became more effective, the cost of running drugs into the US became higher. Profit margins for pound of cocaine are exponentially higher than marijuana. Therefore coke became the drug of choice for drug runners, cartels, etc. . . Marijuana simply wasn't profitable enough.

Who the fuck set all that up?

Take cocaine: water soluble alkaloid. Ingesting through mucous membranes (like snorting or swallowing) leads to euphoria. Cook it down with baking soda and a few other odd chemicals and it becomes fat soluable.....or, Crack.
Smoke it and you are wrecked.

Who in the living hell figured that out?

Go watch 'Bastards to the party'

Addicts wanted to get high faster. You think CIA agents were in there showing people how to hook up a faster high?

Look, you're going to need proof before I believe something like that. Speculation doesn't cut it.

Watch the whole fucking thing. 'Specially the part about the assassinations of the LA Black Panthers and the rise of the Crips and Bloods.

Oh, wait.

That's what the entire film is about.

Pay attention, pilgrim;

There are some of us that go back 40 years in the drug culture.

In Vietnam my best connection was the local CIA guy.

After that, I dealt with the Angels, the Jokers and a whole lot of people you don't want to know where you live.

WHO IS MICHAEL C. RUPPERT?

"This is the man who cost CIA Director Deutch his guaranteed appointment as Secretary of Defense after confronting him at Locke High School with hard facts about CIA dealing drugs." - Dick Gregory

" ...in the course of investigations in the mid 70's he came across information that the CIA was trading drugs in order to fund covert operations in the Middle East...Perot called him back to offer encouragement...Ruppert says that his main objective is to see that the country gets a leader worthy of its people. Even for Ross Perot those will be tough shoes to fill." - PEOPLE MAGAZINE 6/22/92
