Now that Aristide is gone will we see a huge increase in Crack Cocaine

[Bandit]

in our inner cities. I think Bush* wants to redo everything his daddy and Reagan did so I fully expect Cocaine to be flowing once more in huge quantities. Especially Crack Cocaine in the inner cities. It is easy money for the street youth and also puts them away on felony charges when they get caught. that means that they are in jail for a long time and then lose voting rights when they finally get out. Bush* doesn't ever plan on having the people decide Democracy in America like they did in Haiti.

1. That's true...Bushevik Haiti was a big drug port

I have no doubt some of that good CIA coke moved through there back in the days when Ollie North was doing the pushing.

So, yet another side "benefit" for the Busheviks. They can revamp their 1980s program to flood African-American comunities with Crack.

Totalitarian Scum like the Busheviks wouldn't hesitate for a second to do this.

[catzies]

2. I'm convinced the BFEE cartel is the biggest drug ring ever.

I like to say that's why G.H.W. Bush's nickname is "Poppy."

(I know that's really not the reason, but I do like saying it.)

[tom_paine]

18. Maybe not the Biggest, but surely in the "Dealer 500"

Probably #2 or #3.

[catzies]

24. I'm including the CIA as part of the BFEE cartel (makes sense to me)

So who do you think is #1?

[frank frankly]

3. reading this is like someone kicking you in the teeth

this is my #1 fury towards these POS war criminals.

this will not stand.

The public face of the rebel army is the smile of Mr. Guy Phillipe.  He is suspected by both Haitian and United States officials of cocaine trafficking...Mr. Phillipe has few democratic credentials.

6. I didn't see anything about this.........

So, yet another side "benefit" for the Busheviks. They can revamp their 1980s program to flood African-American comunities with Crack.

this kind of crap doesn't help.

10. OK, you win. I didn't realize you had rock solid proof like that !

Why isn't the national media all over this? Doesn't Dan Rather read the Guerrilla news? Why isn't Kerry talking about this?
you are a genius

[Minstrel Boy]

12. "Why isn't the national media all over this?"

It was, sorta, kinda. But you know how goes with the US mainstream media. Don't you?

"Dan Rather"? Well, don't expect too much from him. He's too afraid of being "necklaced".

Iran/Contra, and the CIA's protected trade in crack cocaine, was no fantasy. Ever heard of the Kerry Report? As in, John Kerry? Then-Defense Secretary Dick Cheney called him a "conspiracy theorist" too.

Just a few books you may want to read to shape an informed opinion:
The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade by Alfred McCoy
Cocaine Politics by Peter Dale Scott
Dark Alliance by Gary Web
White Out by Cockburn and St Clair
The Big White Lie by Michael Levine

17. The media? Very funny.

Since years the media could have published the fact that the "war on drugs" has similarities to the "war on terror" and is not intended to be won. Read the chapter of Michael Levine in the book my sig line points to, or read it online:
http://www.expertwitnessradio.org/essays/e6.htm

The media sells us everything but the truth on drugs.

[lostnfound]

25. And the DEA mysteriously dropped the investigation..

when Phillipe entered the Dom. Rep.

[Joanne98]

7. Oh yeah

Just like the heroin increased after the taliban fell. Bushco is without a doubt "the kingpin" of the world. Absolutely NO doubt about that.

[BrotherBuzz]

9. It will be a two-prong drug attack...

Don't forget the BFEE Afghan heroin warehouses are bursting at the seams and should hit the streets soon. I read in the news yesterday that the State Department is ratcheting up the North Korea drug connection dialog 'The United States said for the first time on Monday that it believes it is "highly likely" North Korea traffics in illegal drugs as a matter of state policy.' I think the story is mostly subterfuge. Yes, I believe they deal in drugs but I don't think they have the ability to saturate or control the market. This dialog has another intention.

I strongly believe the BFEE is setting up North Korea to be the patsy when they start dumping the new and improved crop of Afghan Heroin on the west coast of the good 'ole USA. It's kind of a twofer, you know, villify the enemy (North Korea) and rake in the dough at the same time.

It will be interesting to hear the street story associated with the suddenly plentiful supply of super cheap heroin when it splashes.

All delivered with the BFEE good housekeeping seal of approval.

11. The CIA-Haitian drug connection

A couple of articles here from 1993, after Aristide was deposed by drug-running thug Raul Cedras:

WHAT'S BEHIND WASHINGTON'S SILENCE ON HAITI DRUG CONNECTION?
by Dennis Bernstein; Pacific News Service, 10/20/93

At stake in the U.S. confrontation with the Haitian military regime is a cocaine smuggling operation that earns millions of dollars for Haitian military officials while dumping tons of the deadly white powder on American streets. Yet while the country debates the merits of armed intervention in Haiti, the Clinton administration has remained mum on the Haitian "drug connection."

A confidential report by the Drug Enforcement Agency obtained by Pacific News Service describes Haiti as "a major transshipment point for cocaine traffickers" funnelling drugs from Colombia and the Dominican Republic into the U.S.-with the knowledge and active involvement of high military officials and business elites.

THE CIA'S HAITIAN CONNECTION
by Dennis Bernstein and Howard Levine; San Francisco Bay Guardian, 11/3/93

Confidential government documents obtained by the Bay Guardian show that the CIA helped establish and finance Haiti's powerful National Intelligence Service, which played a key role in the 1991 coup and continues to provide paramilitary muscle for the anti-Aristide dictatorship. As recently as February 1993, a confidential congressional report described the NIS as "working closely" with the CIA.

...

According to a Feb. 10, 1993, memo from one of Conyers' congressional staffers, a copy of which was obtained by the Bay Guardian, "the wholesale value of Haiti's drug industry on the U.S. market is now equal to $1 billion a year, which equals the entire revenue of Haiti's population of six million.

14. Follow the $$$$.

There is a profit to be made somewhere by the ruling class in this country. And don't get me wrong, there IS a ruling class in this country.

[gandalf]

20. ruling class

there is a book "who's running america" or so.
I was very disappointed when I once looked at the amazon sales rank. Does not sell very well, this study (at least the latest edition).

[ComerPerro]

15. Great news for Bush

One, because they just love drug problems and poverty (it keeps the masses in check)

Two, because this will be a rerun of the eighties, and most GOPers who actually have money (unlike the GOPers of average wealth, aka idiots) will make a killing yet again in an orgy of greed and self-worship.

And, three, because Bush really likes cocaine.

19. Kick

[cosmicdot]

21. thank you for starting this thread

people need to see the bigger picture


the crooks keep pardoning themselves, and keep coming back for more ... will find you "guilty", and, then, you issue the pardon ... and, then, we're both covered ... is any Iran-Contra participant serving time?

Poppy Bush's "War on Drugs" just keeps on bringing in the dough ... for the kingpins ... just imagine if that wealth was distributed and invested in ways to enrich our society, i.e., improving infrastructure

[drdigi420]

22. without demand, there is no supply

without artificiallly inflated prices, there is no incentive to trade illegal drugs

without illegality, there is no artificially inflated prices

the idea that suddenly more ppl will be on drugs because more are available is nonsense

anyone that wants drugs can get them RIGHT NOW, despite the mass amounts of $ and lives wasted on the war on drugs

drug use will not go up when more is available, it is all about the demand, if you squeeze supply, price goes up, incentive goes up, demand gets met

drug use will not go up (except for a quick spike due to the 'novelty' of legalization) when legalized, that is the argument that most right wingers have against legalization. DEMAND IS ALREADY BEING MET! changes in supply only affect the price and the amount of crime committed by addicts to meet that price

[Bandit]

23. If I started selling Pot for $5.00 an ounce do you think sales would go up

You know what Crack is? It is the poor-mans free base of Cocaine and really is nothing but garbage but it is dirt cheap. Hence sales in the inner cities skyrocket.

[TeeYiYi]

28. I have a question . . .

. . . re: "nothing but garbage". What do you mean by that statement? Just curious.

TYY

[lostnfound]

26. So a reason for toppling Aristide is to restart CIA drug dealing in Haiti?

[Bandit]

27. Coincidence ~ I think not.

If all of a sudden large amounts of Crack or a similar substance shows up in the inner cities will it be just a coincidence? Pay attention to how this all plays out.
