Is The CIA Behind Mexico's Bloody Drug War?
Of course it is. It isn't about "fighting drugs". It's about control and profit.
"In forty years, US drug policy has never changed. The same "hunt them down, bust them, and lock them up" philosophy continues to this day. That's why many critics believe that the drug war is really about control, not eradication. It's a matter of who's in line to rake in the profits; small-time pushers who run their own operations or politically-connected kingfish who have agents in the banks, the intelligence agencies, the military and the government. Currently, in Juarez, the small fries' are getting wiped out while the big-players are getting stronger. In a year or so, the Sinaloa cartel will control the streets, the drug corridors, and the border. The violence will die down and the government will proclaim "victory", but the flow of drugs into the US will increase while the situation for ordinary Mexicans will continue to deteriorate."
"It's no coincidence that Kabul and Bogota are the the de facto capitals of the drug universe. US political support is strong in both places, as is the involvement of US intelligence agencies. But does that suggest that the CIA is at work in Mexico, too? Or, to put it differently: Why is the US supporting a client that appears to be allied to the most powerful drug cartel in Mexico? That's the question."

I've been following the war on drugs now for 20 years and I'm very nearly convinced that the only way to put a stop to it is physically rip the fascists from their offices, prosecute them for violation of human-rights (including murder) and shut down the DEA and the ONDCP.
Honestly, no matter how much scientific evidence points to the failure of the war on drugs and the futile waste of U.S. tax-payer money (billions annually), the prohibitionists deny it all and insist upon continuing the madness. They are blood-thirsty vampires and vultures, not humans.
And of course, Congress would rather take suitcases of money from the Big Pharma lobby-groups than vote any other way. To say that I am sick of the U.S. Federal government is a an huge understatement. I passed a simple sickness years ago.
The U.S. Federal government is failing us all.
