war on drugs but here's something you need to know the us drug war isn't about drugs it's not about drugs the drug war is about freedom and hypocrisy of privacy and corruption and racism and that may be at the dad at the bottom of the page if you can squeeze it in also drugs. the drug war is about drugs about as much as winning an olympic swimming meet is about keeping that bathing suit from riding up your crack. yeah it is a crucial aspect. but if that's all you're good at you're not winning. last year we learned the drug war was designed from the start to avoid the blood started to destroy the black community and the reputation of the black community even more than medea has all right. it was also designed to destroy the activist community and especially the black activist community this is probably something you felt in your gut like you knew you knew it was true but you never

thought you really get clear proof of it kind of like when we knew barry bonds could naturally hit every single pitch from giant stadium to yellowstone national park like you know it but you didn't have the proof. but last year we finally found out about the convention confession of john ehrlichman former white house domestic affairs adviser under richard nixon who was the first to declare the war on drugs he was the one and in one thousand nine hundred nine with nothing left to lose or gain ehrlichman told author dan balz the nixon white house had two enemies the anti-war left and black people by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin and then criminalizing both heavily we could disrupt those communities we could arrest their leaders raid their homes break up their meetings and vilify them night after night on the evening news did we know we

were lying about the drugs of course we did. so there you have it the drug war was never about drugs. there was a drug war was. and yet our government. the national weather service in sterling virginia has issued a special memory warning for the peak bay north of fools island maryland until five fifteen am to two million am strong thunderstorms were located along a line extending from having delaware agrees to near aberdeen proving ground moving the state's knots has wind gusts thirty four knots or greater source radar indicated impact voters and small craft could be thrown overboard by split higher

winds and waves capsizing their vessel locations and pack that include north east river turkey point special the island and aberdeen proving ground move to safe harbor until hazardous weather passes. is complete garbage in terms of importance that the corporate media does not put the war on drugs anywhere near the level of say katy perry's haircut or donald trump's killer recipe for a hot cup of coffee. the key is to marinate the raccoon testicles in like. you get on like a limb in juice kind of marinated and also you've got to milk the goat by surprise chris strictly by surprise. last month for one of the first time the mainstream t.v. they head to a channel revealed the core truth of the drugs the war on drugs has always been

a pointless sham for decades the federal government has engaged in a shifting series oval of lyon says of convenience with some of the world's largest drug cartels for example in the one nine hundred sixty s. they were working with mob boss santo trafficante jr yes he was a man named trafficante. ran a drug truck it talking ring i mean that said i couldn't take a presidential advisor of con artist named kellyanne conway. thank you thank god thank you having a white house press secretary named david pilot out of my face. so why did they work with trafficante the cia wanted for del castro dead and in return for trafficante help in various assassination plots they were willing to turn a blind eye to the extensive drug trafficking by trafficante and his allied cuban

exiles so in return for help killing field ok astro they would allow the trafficking of enough cocaine to satiate to the beggar death stagehands during the one nine hundred eighty nine told. so how did that go though. of killing a pradelle castro thing. oh it was a long gone where they just waited until he was a hundred years old and then and then they smothered him to death with natural causes. clever clever they're very. yes. toad's sneaky the drug the drug war was never about drugs and another pivotal moment the cia imported significant amounts of l.s.d. from its swiss manufacturer in hopes that it could be used for successful mind control they went on to dose thousands of volunteers with acid apparently those volunteers included can rob hunter of the lyricist for the grateful dead you could

have guessed that one and whitey bulger the mob boss and hitman one to guess that one could barely why do you didn't have the kind of l.s.d. that shows you all living things are just loving energy vibrations. you got you got a bad batch. anyway in a lot of ways this experimentation is given credit for helping create the psychedelic interest of the nineteen sixties as well as stupidly wide collars on shirts. goddammit cia i knew you were evil i knew you were i knew you were up to all kinds of no good but i didn't know you were responsible for the b. g.'s. is nothing sacred to you. then in the nineteen eighties as the reagan administration tried to overthrow the sandinistas in nicaragua the planes that secretly brought arms to the contras turned around and

brought cocaine back to america again shielded from us law enforcement by the cia so the us government was pumping our country full of cocaine while locking the small time dealers away for years what each of these examples shows is that the drug. war was never about drugs not to mention let's assume let's just zoom for a moment that doing drugs is wrong or right just for the sake of argument i don't know if i believe that but let's just say the sake of argument that they're wrong isn't really it's really more wrong than say animal abuse or raising children in a discussing home or pushing a handicapped person over so you can get a taxi or proper in your padded wanna was sarcastic comments about this lack of taste in movies. people rarely go to jail for any of those things for they rarely go to jail for animal abuse but constantly go to jail for getting a little loopy from a drug or giving that drug to someone else couldn't you argue that smoking

something is almost less criminal than all of those things goes was criminal then sending men and women to die in an illegal invasion of a middle eastern country under the pretense that there are weapons of mass destruction when they're totally art what about drowning a hardworking american in debt for the unforgivable undeniable crime of getting an education thereby taking their entire life their entire existence and setting it on a path of of misery should that come with a harsher sentence than popping a pill but these laws are set up this way because the drug war was never about drugs. right. there was this candle perpetrated on the american people is breathtaking and the

number of lives destroyed is hard to even calculate so in conclusion. go yourself mr magoo has already thank you. both oh. thank you thank you for this past thank you. monday was black women's equal pay day that is the day in twenty seventeen at which point a black woman will have earned as much as a white guy earned in twenty sixteen alone for doing the same job so it would take

a black woman nineteen months to earn what a white guy gets in twelve months and i think i speak for all white guys here when i say. why do they get a day. this is very racist. we want to ten. unfortunately equal pay day for a chinese woman at an apple foxconn factory is sometime in two thousand and twenty seven so. don't shoot the messenger all right. if i if i were them if i were the people building each i phone i would just leave and show the side. he exploded so dumb americans could spend months trying to find the smell. but luckily for us foxconn has just announced they're opening their first u.s. plant in wisconsin made in america i was actually means something again rumor

has it even the anti-suicide nets around the buildings will be made right here in america yeah the after the reinforced of a little because of the size of our workers but. yeah we will tear right through you dig a little suicide yet do nothing to us. so. the name of the name foxconn doesn't really inspire confidence does it it's the combination of outfoxing you and conning you. i honestly i prefer their competitor scam ha ha ha ha ha. i just like their products better. i think what fox conn's american rival really means is that rather than building up worker rights in other countries we have managed to cut our own protections to such a degree that we can now house the worst abuse centers in the world jobs aren't

going overseas anymore because workers are exploited just as well right here at home you know we had a dream. we did a while back we were like one day maybe i too can work all day just to afford the bus ride home from work. and we made that dream come true we made it happen we are two nations and as many of you know when workers are exploited really well the stock market celebrates and it just broke twenty two thousand the dallas jones just did for the first time ever wall street sees a worker with no benefits and it has its pants. it's something else helping wall street is our massive weapons contractors which are also spook tested right now our number one customer saudi arabia is like a kid in a candy store of death they are just having a blast successfully assaulting the people of yemen with our help and causing what

the w.h.o. just declared the worst cholera outbreak ever and one of the worst famines ok this may look bad it may look bad for us but think about it this way the u.s. is terrible at cooperating with other countries right where we're real lone wolf or of a lot of relationship problems so this is a big step we are currently partners with saudi arabia in a massive war crime so. you know don't focus on the other words and that son's just focused on partners. we have a brand y. balmy in clive we are well we have a body. but you have to wonder are we running out of places to commit war crimes do in fact the u.s. war machine has found iraq two point zero well i guess iraq was iraq two point zero . and then libya and syria so this is like

a rock fifteen point. it's yet another country that's not shackled to us economically or via the world bank and now we want to create. a cia backed coup there it's venezuela. and you may be thinking the u.s. only cares about getting involved with countries with huge oil reserves there's no reason they would and that's a good oh wait the proven oil reserves in venezuela are recognized as the largest in the world. so this week our mainstream media has been breathlessly telling you that how horrible it is it's horrible we have to bring democracy back to venezuela while we hold hands with brutal saudi arabian monarchies well could our ruling elite be prosecuted for any of these war crimes or past crimes don't be silly that never happens as tony blair just this week the high court in the u.k. blocked the prosecution of the former prime minister for his role in the war crimes

in iraq you know it's really not fair it takes a white guy five times as long to get convicted of as many war crimes as black guys we wise guys are discriminated against. we are. in fact since the inception of the international criminal court more than a decade ago only africans have been brought to trial why guys gender are. pretty damn quick right but i have comedy shows coming up in seattle and washington d.c. just email redacted tonight or to america dot tv pretty tales and bigots what are iraqi. facts jazzers financial survival guide. housing bubble.

oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage truth don't get carried away when it comes to report. thank you again this is how. the economy is built around corporations corporations from washington to washington. over voters elected to businessman to run this country business equals power you must see it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. that is our. present. political. elite. paid.

by then got a session on their own. by then is assess the long. term not instead of. going to one more. not so it. was revealed to the multiple injuries among current america so for them to keep. the work but shows real your mercy on the phone today when you can book a political social services say you're welcome but you know what it might. lead on a minute of nothing. else allowed me. to walk. down the aisle something not set in. the market as

a lead to problems look ma let me what i can now maybe i maybe wasn't sure that. led. police. very. recently analyzed by the center for public integrity reveal the

fossil fuel industry is spending millions to fill k. through twelve schools with prole oil propaganda in order to get our kids to grow up climate change denial idiots instead of just the standard idiots we've been known for various crises our senior oriel to school pipelines vasilis them here money. told me the money and climate change doesn't even have changed to spare those green peas bakers are out on the street climate change is asking really for money. the big oil is giving a lot to schools the oklahoma energy board for instance spent forty million dollars in the past two decades and came through twelve outreach and curriculum not unlike the oil industry and other states and of course daddy bucks wants a say in what's being taught or not being done so they're pretty much just paying

schools and manipulating teachers to advertise to children look leave the days of that hippie vegetarian miss frizzle are over. and then bus runs on diesel now that magic what do you kids are going mushrooms no we have new characters to teach us science like fuel is freddy all over oil patch and petrol peat. when there was a real good strong seed just the firy crew father gave schools nine thousand copies of petrol peanuts big. dream where pete wakes up in a world without petroleum and it is scary. keep looked around the room and many of his belongings were missing including his clothes for school. runs to the bathroom to brush his teeth and comb his hair for school but his tooth

brush and comb are missing if they go to school but. we've been to the really good. to kids that's that's ridiculous look russians yeah right the by products the by products from oil like true brushes and combs are not our problem here it's our over dependence on oil for transportation factory farming military worst petro pete going to be one or environment is completely collapsing in fifty years because we didn't heed the warning of climate scientists i don't know maybe it could be fined had to repeat in this scorched wasteland kind of like kind of like where's waldo but with more scorched wasteland. and so where is pete oh he's dead. or maybe he's living a mad max existence milking the blood of heretics to feed his harem of broodmares.

we're feeding kids this garbage this is not science sleep this is not garbage these are rich resources created by the oklahoma energy board have you seen their video series lab time with leo that because of climate deniers who ripped off bill nye his boat. that's just ridiculous climate change that's not even science well kids if you live in oklahoma or a dozen other red states you'll never need to study science climate change or evolution all you need to know is the story of adam and b.p. . you mean the same thing did you know adam and eve were naked until they found out about petroleum. same as petrol this stuff is great let me show you this lesson from a program in ohio that teaches small. all children how fun franking is using twinkies and straw was to her cranium you're kidding that's not

real yeah it is look you want to learn how to frat come on you want a little frack you. know. ok well fine i'll do the honors so you stick the drill shaft into the soil and use your high performance pump. that's the scariest thing. cause. we. know. you really went anyway thank you to dispose of the waste properly plus swallowing is not in my contract thank you very much. of the thank you. i don't i don't know what is in the contract but next our military has been up to no good big surprise but in

a strange twist it actually has to do with getting rid of our outlandish amounts of weaponry for more on this let's go to our truth blog not only mcgill. in a time when this country is bitterly divided i think the one thing that can truly unite us as americans is our insatiable need to purge. difficult to work great. difficult to work with my ass. though not everything should be burned for entertainment nor can it disappear without a trace people who live near ammunition plants like this one. radford virginia know this all too well it's one of fifty one active sites the process the country where

the department of defense or its contractors are today burning or detonating munitions for raw explosives in the open air often in close proximity to schools homes and water supplies over thirty years ago congress banned open burns when they realized it's a lot like burning man except with none of the fun not usually as many man nixon a lot more cancer lawmakers granted the pentagon and its contractors a temporary reprieve to find the safest way they are wild to talk to the burning of munitions because stopping it to suddenly might not be safe that's like songs from your neighbors army and insisting in order to stop safely you have to keep strong for the next twenty minutes open burn sparked outrage from affected residents like these in bradford where the plant burns as much as eight thousand pounds of munitions daily we already know from iraq and afghanistan that opening burns are of

about as good an idea is drinking fireball over the age of forty or two white men making a t.v. show fantasizing about the confederacy winning the civil war munitions tires even body parts burned in pits right next to living quarters of soldiers and while registry exists for vets who suffered damage from these fires there's no registry for low income black residents and cities like colfax louisiana where clean harbors a contractor with no sense of irony earns munitions was general regulations on emissions while presenting so we can clean promotional videos with employees who apparently were granted the benefit of a sage cheese this company calling themselves clean harbors is like the porta potties of burning man calling themselves. well clean harbor. what's going on in colfax is just another battle for environmental justice where the chance of being

exposed to pollution increases the lower your income and the darker your skin gets the twenty four thousand university of minnesota study finds us minorities facing nearly forty percent more exposure to toxic air pollution louisiana state rep terry brown tried to ban open burns in two thousand and sixteen but the space chemical industry and defense community fired back saying the move would a loony jobs even clean harbors countered with pictures of freshly painted turn pads of flowers and cut grass look just because you give something a make over on the outside doesn't mean it's changed only inside the i one face of the trump administration change several times it's still largely run by people whose insides are powered by gum or big. actually that makes it sound like they recycle i'm pretty sure scott pruitt just thinks recycling means using his diesel powered engine to also power is industrial will to cook an entire baby cow at

a time but open burns were made a terrible solution to eliminating military waste covering toward a million acres of land cleanup costs are only a fraction of the military budget activists need to mobilize and places like colfax and bradford so that the only thing that's been burned is this. damn damned wonder reporting from bradford virginia. redacted. that's just shows what i am already i agree you get it you guys go out. tonight.

put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and she. want. to go on to be close with someone before you know more people are. interested always in the waters of. the city. because you know provision on my bike when i want to. ask but i. know i lost his bus because i just got the. resources you know. but the petronas. has been.

so nice as you know but i was you know. you know just i mean what i'm already but it was. i mean. if it up i must. get it. but those. people are going to respect i'm one of the. my family fussy credible but you suspect that they're already yes it will be and he thought if you think of it. you seem to mean ticket yeah. yet it will.
