Speak up... Its time to end the war on drugs |
|
NOW. It has never worked. The prisons are packed with nonviolent people whose crime is being disenfranchised and/or black. I owe it to all the hundreds of thousands of people who are affected horribly by this war to speak out. This is especially so for the people who are in prison and who have lost their right to vote because of felony disenfranchisment... all for selling some weed.
If you support the war on drugs, you are a negligent murderer and have the ethics of a low crawling slime, no matter what party you claim has taken posession of your soul. You support policies that allow the police state to imprison the liberal fringe. (as truth be told, most people who experiment with drugs are liberal minded by the very fact they explore altered states of mind.) The drugs war kills thousands who would not die THIS YEAR if they had a clean supply... and other addicted people will not be a cronic healthcare risk if they are treated properly.
The drugs war is a sick perverted attack on the constitutional right to freedom of religion. Many religions have imbibed drugs for 1000's of years including cannabis/hashish (hinduism), mushrooms, peyote, datura root, etc... etc... the war against the first amendment is a war against innocent people. Perpetrating such a war is a war crime, and all people associated with ordering this war should be put on trial for war crimes and negligent homicide.
You have no pity for me if i get busted smoking some weed... i have no pity for a drugs criminal who orders the deaths of 1000 american youths while sucking down my taxes as tribute. Its time the real criminals paid for once. Perhaps direct action against the real drugs criminals is the only way, as truth clearly is not an issue.

Long overdue but it will never happen. One: even the mere mention of legalizing something as trivial as marijuana would be the kiss of death for any candidate... Dem or Repub. Two: too much money would be lost by law enforcement agencies; despite the fact that it costs a hell of a lot more to enforce and imprison.

5. perhaps the libertarian party is correct in this |
|
They've focused all their anti-drugs resources on the criminal-supporters in the congress no matter what party they belong to...
There IS a way. The drugs czar and all his criminals at the DEA are lowlife scum. No job is worth joining the new american stazi. Its too bad that acts of terrorism end up killing truly innocent people, when the DEA offices would be a much more worthy target.
The drugs war is criminal, a crime against humanity, and a crime against human rights. Who should pay? How about every person with a pay grade over 50K in the american corporate DEA and all their handlers in congress and the executive.
I am not one for capital punishment, but i'd make an exception for the mass murders that these people regularly tolerate. Clearly they view a drugs-life-lost as an unmoral life that God wanted lost... bollocks. They are murderers and should face their crimes.
Sorry for having my knickers in a twist about this, but i am sick of the repression and the EVIL POLICE STATE. I really wish they would all die of poison from wearing their uniforms.... evil criminal army from hell... for the people who've paid the ultimate price for having an addiction problem, i am furious.

4. the war on (some) drugs has been enormously successful! |
|
The private prison industry is booming, the ATF and the local police have all kinds of new powers to use against us, makes for a great divider in campaigns, etc...
just need some perspective to see who is benefitting :evilgrin:

It's a huge waste of money. Only results in overcrowded jails (training grounds for more dangerous criminals), clogged courts, hopelessness, despair, violence, etc.

8. I know its repeating the obvious |
|
but it needs repeating. Some folks are doing life in prison without parole due to 3 strikes for nonviolent drugs "liberty" to experiment. I'm truly sorry, and i apologize to them for how the state has fucked with their lives.... it is not justice.
Pointing a gun at your disenfranchised and fringe people is not justice. Its all extremely perverted when justice is to murder own kin for the moralism and anti-left-fringism of the paranoid macCarthyist asswipes.
