The brutal U.S. prison state continues via the institutional racism of both the drug war and cannabis/drug reformers. Universal healthcare and harm reduction are preferable. Holland's safe cannabis cafes. Also; safe prescription heroin/cocaine using the Swiss bureaucratic model of addict registration, counseling, and paperwork. It takes the attractive gangster glamour out of addictive hard drug use. People live long enough to quit on their own. Swiss property crime rates have plummeted where implemented. Healthcare, welfare,  workfare, and higher minimum wages cost less than prisons, courts, and police to control neighborhoods ruined by the drug trade. Many cops are against the drug war. Support LEAP. The U.S. trains, equips, and finances racist drug-war death squads, as against the Akha in Thailand.  Abu Ghraib = racist Phoenix Program terror. World sanctions against bigoted, U.S.-aided, Israeli occupation terror and apartheid will end the world war. No justice, no peace!   Stop corporatist Republicrat EVIL! The Texas Big Oil, Petrochemical-Pharmaceutical Complex! Racist Texas leads the world with 4.6% of Texas adults in prison or jail, or on probation or parole! "Nearly half a million people are now behind bars [in USA] for non-violent drug law violations -- that's more than all of Western Europe, with a larger population, incarcerates for everything!" - Drug Policy Alliance. Sept. 2003 mail. "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." ~ An anonymous analysis of Benito Mussolini's fascism in Italy. Thomas Jefferson to George Logan, 1816: "I hope we shall... crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country." - Corporatism quotes.   Most of the world's problems could be solved by lowering the Earth's population over time. One child per woman would achieve this. Nations with high population density (as in China, India, South Korea, Japan, Belgium, Holland, Germany, England) are experiencing severe problems. In the meantime the citizens of most nations would do better, and be happier, if they had sustainable, livable economies with universal single-payer healthcare (which costs less due to preventive medicine), higher minimum wages (which lessens boom/bust cycles), and graduated taxation and lower overall taxes (recycles wealth without over-taxation). Save U.S. soldiers' lives by withdrawing to a few big bases in Kurdistan and Kuwait where U.S. protection is welcome. This will also protect the world's oil supplies, and lower tensions greatly. Let Iraqis run Iraq. "The most recent evidence comes from autopsies of 44 prisoners who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan in U.S. custody. Most died under circumstances that suggest torture. The reports use words like 'strangulation,' 'asphyxiation' and 'blunt force injuries.' ...  A few months before the [Abu Ghraib] scandal broke [spring 2004], Coalition Provisional Authority polls showed Iraqi support at 63 percent. A month after Abu Ghraib, the number was 9 percent. Polls showed that 71 percent of Iraqis were surprised by the revelations." -Newsweek, Nov. 14, 2005, page 36. Axis of EVIL: USA, Israel, and Iran are wannabe theocracies. U.S. drug-war ads say drugs fund terrorism. The truth is that people like EVIL Texan, Armageddonist, George W. Bush support the funding and arming of EVIL fundamentalist Israeli settler expansion, terrorism, land theft, and murder of people like American Rachel Corrie (photo higher up) in Gaza and the West Bank in occupied Palestine. It is an EVIL Bush-led, fundamentalist, U.S. Death Cult of Big Oil! Working with hate radio, hate TV, and the disinfo of EVIL moron pundits at Fox News and much of corporatist Big Media.

*5-2004. Contra-Intelligence on Oliver North - by Celerino Castillo 3rd: Drugwar.com
"North was brought into the National Security Council staff in August 1981. One of the first assignments was to serve as the NSC staff liaison to the Kissinger Commission on Central America beginning in the summer of 1983. After October 1984, Vice President Bush designated North to coordinate the re-supply operations for the Contra network. At the same time, he was involved in various schemes to ransom U.S. hostages being held in Lebanon, by providing arms to Iran."

*12-2003. Kissinger approved Argentinian 'dirty war'. Dec. 6, 2003, Guardian (UK). "He [Kissinger] has already been implicated in war crimes committed during his term in office, notably in connection with the 1973 Chilean coup. ... According to a verbatim transcript of a meeting on October 7 1976, Mr Kissinger reassured the [Argentinian] foreign minister that he had US backing in whatever he did. ... tacit approval of the US, on which it was dependent for financial and military aid. The junta, which ruled Argentina from 1976 to 1983, fell after the military's defeat in the Falklands war. During its period in power an estimated 30,000 people may have been arrested, tortured and killed."

*The Memory Hole > "Kissinger Declassified" by Lucy Komisar. 1976 Kissinger meeting with Pinochet. Death Squads and torture. Elected leaders overthrown. Freely-elected socialists are in power in many nations, and to U.S. Republicans all socialists are communists, and thus deserving of Pinochet-style overthrow (1973) of elected leaders, and torture and murder of thousands. Allende was a socialist, and he was elected in a free election in Chile. The CIA also helped overthrow progressive elected leaders in Iran and Guatemala in 1953 and 1954.

"In the name of fighting drugs, the CIA financed new military intelligence networks there in 1991. ... they incorporated illegal paramilitary groups into their ranks and fostered death squads. These death squads killed trade unionists, peasant leaders, human-rights, journalists, and other suspected 'subversives.' ... In May 1991, Colombia completely reorganized its military intelligence networks 'based on the recommendations made by the commission of U.S. military advisers,' according to the secret Colombian reorganization order, which Human Rights Watch made public in 1996. ... The secret Colombian order instructed the military to maintain plausible deniability from the networks and their crimes. Retired military officers and other civilians were to act as clandestine liaisons between the networks and the military commanders. All open communications 'must be avoided.' There 'must be no written contracts with informants or civilian members of the network; everything must be agreed to orally.' And the entire chain of command 'will be covert and compartmentalized, allowing for the necessary flexibility to cover targets of interest.' Facts about the new intelligence networks became known only after four former agents in Barrancabermeja began testifying in 1993 about the intelligence network there. What compelled them to come forward? Each said the military was actively trying to kill them in order to cover up the network and its crimes. By then the military had 'disappeared' four other ex-agents in an attempt to keep the network and its operations secret."

Liberation from Religion.  - Spirituality, and/or Extra-dimensional physics, for Dummies. A Declaration of Independence. The spiritual worlds may even be extra dimensions that will be totally explainable by science someday. It's all good. Here below are 2 Bible verses that release people from all Bible verses, all religions, all texts, all names, and even names like "Jesus" or "Lucifer"! If people can think and feel for themselves, and if the spiritual and/or extra-dimensional worlds are real, and if free will is real, then no one can really force anyone to loosen up, and open themselves up to broader horizons. And conversely, no one can forcibly close someone up and keep them from thinking and feeling. People are in prisons of their own making and choosing. Especially the prison of religion. Many of the world's problems, wars, hate campaigns, and drug wars come from text-based religious fundamentalists. It is due to their simplistic intolerance, and their close-minded belief in the infallibility of religious texts and names. These true believers are closed-off simpletons and dumbstruck beginners who are tied to their religious textbooks. Texts that are often completely changed from the original texts, and/or were edited by many people over many years. Texts that are often chosen for political purposes centuries ago. There are many texts that are more accurate and truthful. But they usually attack the status quo, especially religion. So they are often burned and lost to history. Sometimes they are found. In any case almost no text can be proven to come unedited from the period or person claimed. Even these 2 famous verses below are too harsh. People can open or close their minds and hearts at will. The point is that names, texts, and religions matter little compared to the spiritual and/or extra-dimensional worlds (whatever they are). Matthew 12:32 (from New American Standard version): "And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in the age to come." A similar version is found in the Gnostic gospel of the apostle Thomas: "44. Jesus said, 'Whoever blasphemes against the Father will be forgiven, and whoever blasphemes against the son will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the holy spirit will not be forgiven, either on earth or in heaven.' " http://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/gosthom.html ~ -- "The Nag Hammadi Library, a collection of thirteen ancient codices containing over fifty texts, was discovered in upper Egypt in 1945. This immensely important discovery includes a large number of primary Gnostic scriptures -- texts once thought to have been entirely destroyed during the early Christian struggle to define 'orthodoxy' -- scriptures such as the Gospel of Thomas, ..." http://corporatism.tripod.com/religion.htm and http://www.angelfire.com/rnb/y/religion.htm
