Hippie4, Anaracissie, White people are a small fraction of the earthperson population, a cultural dssignation varying on depending on who you define as White.  As James Baldwin remarked, many non-White people have lighter skin tones than White people. 

But the overwhelming proportion of people of the world are non-White.  And the US power structure now controls two narco-states producing most of the heroin and cocaine, some of which is transported in military planes.  They are WORLD commodities, but we of course focus on America and the West.

I am sorry to hear, Hippie4, that Vancouver has a heroin problem.  I thought it a lovely city, where the young, and young women, could walk after dark without fear of being assaulted.  I didn’t know that Dublin had a cocaine problem either, everybody seemed to be drinking beer.  I was thinking of those towns for my daughter as fallback places if things get very bad here, as they probably will.

Oh no they are not: the police focus on busting nonwhite American citizens, so arrest statistics are inaccurate. Visit Vancouver, B.C. sometime and count the white, middle-class heroin addicts on Hastings Blvd. I even saw a young man die on the sidewalk, at 3:00 p.m., and people were unsurprised, even jaded.

Americans, by the way, are the world’s top consumers of cannabis, heroin, cocaine and X.

As for your comment about “homicidal racism” I’m a bit confused by what you mean. Are you saying nonwhites are being encouraged in their drug use to diminish their populations? If so I believe you are influenced by a huge myth that use of illegal drugs always leads to early death. My evidence, besides Keith Richards, is the reality that these substances do have medical benefits, if used properly. Heroin kills people because it is illegal; therefore the strength varies and overdosage is possible. Were it legalized, we would see a dramatic decrease in hospitalization and death.

In calling drug users “addicts” you are using a loaded-term, much like calling all drinkers “alcoholics” or all smokers “nicotine fiends.” I don’t believe you meant to be inflammatory and suggest using the term “user.”

’... The addicts world wide are primarily non-White people….’

I thought Americans were supposed to be the world’s biggest users.  I don’t see where the profit would come from in selling to poor people.

It appears, Ardee, that the US power structure now includes drug trafficing as both a business and military weapon, as occurred in Britain in the 19th century.  US now have wars in two narco states producing most of the two most luctrative drugs, heroin and cocaine.  Both fuel the prison industry which is being privatized.

The price of narcotics is kept high by the War on Drugs, which apparently has been merged with the War on Terrorism.  The US destroys the drugs of the opposition growers, who are taxed by the Taliban and the Columbian marxists guerrilas, keeping the price high for their goods.  The ban on grass, a relatively harmless recreational drug, feeds the need for hard drugs.

The military transportation of drugs has been documented by Peter Dale Scott, a Berkeley professor, by Ruppert, a former narcotics detective, and a reporter on an English language Egyptian paper.  The US power system uses a world wide network, notably Turkey, and now opium is being grown in Iraq as well.

The addicts world wide are primarily non-White people, serving as an alternative to homicidal racism. It’s a trillion dollar industry and the drugs may be more lucrative than the oil as a world commoidity.

What the US is good at is marketing.  It markets not only drugs but the mainstream truth in the Marketplace of Ideas.  The mainstream truth disguises the moral depravity of the US power system, which cannot be systematically analyzed in the mainstream truth organs.  the drug organizations also serve as a source of professional murderers for the US and allies death squads.

What our nation really needs, instead of health care for all, which is as everyone knows far too expensive to enact, is yet another war, this one closer to home thus saving all the expense of transporting troops ten thousand miles or more.

Columbia really needs US paramilitary DEA forces because it seems their govt sponsored death squads have been less than competent in killing everyone.

As an added bonus we get to maintain a military base conveniently close to that “commie” Chavez, thus making him rather uncomfortable as well. Its a win, win situation for Obama, Bushs’s’ stepson I guess…..
