History of Alcohol Prohibition
http://www.druglibrary.org/prohibitionresults1.htm

Did Alcohol Use Decrease During Alcohol Prohibition?

The assertion:
First, use of alcohol decreased significantly during Prohibition. This decrease in turn lead to a
marked decrease in the incidence of cirrhosis of the liver. Finally, the suicide rate also decreased
by 50%. From Chapter 6 - Role of Tobacco and Alcohol in the Drug Legalization Debate from "Drug
Legalization: Myths and Misconceptions" by the U.S. Department of Justice Drug Enforcement
Administration.

The Short Answer:

Alcohol consumption rose to record levels during alcohol prohibition.

National alcohol prohibition began in 1920. Apparent alcohol use fell from 1914 to
1922. It rose thereafter. By 1925, arrests for public drunkenness and similar alcohol-
related offenses were already above the pre-prohibition records. Consumption by
women and children increased dramatically.

The Longer Answer:

In truth, nobody really knows exactly how much alcohol consumption increased or
decreased during Prohibition. The reason was simple enough -- people like Al Capone
didn't pay taxes on their product and thereby report their production to the government.
Licensed saloons became illegal speakeasies, and many common citizens took
advantage of the high sales price of illegal booze by secretly manufacturing booze in
their own bathtubs. That's one of the major problems with all drug prohibitions -- they
greatly reduce the ability to make accurate judgments about the problem. There is no
good way to count the number of illegal dealers, or the people who are secretly making
gin in their own bathroom. Therefore, to make such a judgment, we have to rely on a
number of indirect indicators.

By the greatest majority of indicators, the biggest drops in alcohol consumption and
alcohol problems actually came before national prohibition went into effect. Those
drops continued for about the first two years of Prohibition and then alcohol
consumption began to rise. By 1926, most of the problems were worse than they had
been before Prohibition went into effect and there were a number of new problems --
such as a drinking epidemic among children -- that had not been there before.

Did Alcohol Prohibition increase crime?

The assertion:
A second reason why Prohibition was a successful program is due to the fact that it did not --
contrary to popular myth--cause an increase in the crime rate. It is true that there was an
increase in the homicide rate during Prohibition, but this is not the same as an increase in the
overall crime rate. Furthermore, the increase in homicide occurred predominantly in the African-
American community, and African-Americans at that time were not the people responsible for
alcohol trafficking.108 The drama of Elliot Ness and Al Capone largely was just that, drama
sensationalized by the media of the time." From Chapter 6 - Role of Tobacco and Alcohol in the
Drug Legalization Debate from "Drug Legalization: Myths and Misconceptions" by the U.S. Department
of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration.

The Short Answer:

none.

The Longer Answer:

The references above have already shown that common people who had never been
involved in crime before engaged in criminal activity after alcohol prohibition started.
But there is far more evidence of a Prohibition crime wave than just those references.

This chart shows that there were steep increases in both homicides and prisoners in
custody during Prohibition.

John D. Rockefeller & Alcohol Prohibition

I like to learn a thing or two every day, and today I learned a very interesting thing indeed.

Many people know that alcohol can be used as fuel for cars and farm equipment. It's popular today in the guise
of ethanol, but ethanol is largely a red herring. Ethanol is a ghost of what could have been had the Prohibition
movement not killed alcohol fuel in its infancy.

Most people are not aware that Henry Ford's Model T came in a variation that allowed the driver to switch the
carburetor to run the engine on farm-made ethyl acohol [sic]. This allowed the operator to stop at local farms
(equipped with stills) to refuel his/her car during long trips through the backcountry. After all- the gas station
wasn't exactly as ubiquitous in those days, as it is now. The Standard Oil Company and its industrialist-founder
John D. Rockefeller wasn't too happy with this arrangement. After all, Rockefeller's company had a virtual
monoploly on gasoline at this time in our nation's development.

It kind of makes me wonder why we're fighting an illegal war over oil in the desert, thousands of miles away,
when we could probably retrofit our cars to run on domestically produced alcohol fuels (which does not have to
be corn-based like ethanol).

Like William Randolph Hearst's campaign against cannabis (marijuana), Rockefeller's campaign against alcohol
was ultimately successful... for him. Hearst and Rockefeller's respective campaigns were horrible crimes
perpetrated against America, the environment and truth, but both men were personally enriched through their
scheming.

Since the late 1800's there had been a growing Alcohol Temperance Movement developing among reformers.
Rockefeller saw an opportunity in this. It is well-documented that local efforts to curb alcohol consumption were
expanded to the national level when high-profile figures like Rockefeller joined in the anti-alcohol efforts. Was he
so concerned with the social problems that abuse of alcohol was said to cause?

No... John D. Rockefeller was not concerned with family dynamics in the working classes. But he was influential in
changing the goals of the movement from temperance to prohibition. As we know, his contribution to the
outlawing of the production and sale of alcohol was successful. Of course, Rockefeller and the oil companies
reaped tremendous profits as a result. Remember that the period covered by the 18th Amendment (1919-1933)
coincided with the huge rise in the sale and operation of automobiles. America was on the move, and all of these
cars were now operated solely on gasoline. By the time that the 21st Amendment was passed, ending the
prohibition of alcohol, the standard was already set and worked completely in the favor of the Rockefeller family.

While this is an excellent example of a conspiracy against the American people that is both provable and
successful, there is one problem with calling it a conspiracy: Conspiracies require illegal acts, and lying to the
American people is not necessarily illegal. Unethical, yes, but unless you were personally slandered there's no
chance of legal recourse against such conspiratorial campaigns.

In the end, this is an example of how rich men can ride roughshod over the Constitution and the democratic
process and there's not a damn thing anybody can do about it.
http://dgrim.blogspot.com/2007/06/great-scheme-alcohol-based-fuels-ford.html

The Great Scheme: Alcohol-based fuels, Ford, Rockefeller, and Prohibition.

One of the many bits of information I gleaned from my discussions with Tapahpunja yesterday has to
do with the prohibition of alcohol. This is a multifaceted issue that concerns spirituality, social control,
energy production, and US History. From the standpoint of a Hindu, alcohol consumption is forbidden.
This makes sense in the context of social interaction. There is no debate that alcohol abuse contributes
to many of our social problems today. Having had ample experience with alcoholics, I know firsthand
what addiction can do to relationships. Many domestic incidents and other types of criminal activity
involve the use of alcohol. Meanwhile, there is much evidence that alcohol negatively affects more
organs of the human body than any other legal or illegal drug. Despite all these possible consequences,
I have no plans to stop consuming alcohol. I believe there are some positive social effects that occur
with its moderate use, and there is some scientific data that demonstrates that it can be consumed
healthily.

But there is an entirely different dimension to alcohol that I wasn't even aware of. Alcohol may be an
option in dealing with the impending energy and environmental crises of the Twenty-first Century. It is
a little known fact that Brazil is the world leader in the production of bioalcohol fuel. Because of recent
concerns of rising gasoline prices, President Bush visited Sao Paulo (on March 7, 2007) to sign
agreements on importing alcohol fuel and its technology. Vehicles using this fuel were actually
widespread in the late 1970's in Brazil, but gasoline reclaimed its market share in the 1980's. With
anxieties about the world oil supply once again in the forefront of many minds, this option has become
increasingly attractive.

The advantages of alcohol-based fuels are multi-faceted. They burn completely and efficiently and
produce 100% less carbon monoxide emissions because the byproducts of their consumption include
only carbon dioxide, water and heat. Interestingly, although alcohol-based fuel produces as much CO2
emission as gasoline, its effect is counterbalanced by the fact that CO2 is actually drawn from the
environment in the process of its production. Therefore there is no modern net release. While much of
the efforts concerning the manufacture of these types of fuel involve corn... there are much more
efficient raw crop materials available. Sugar beets (for example) contain less cellulose, and their waste
fibers raise the alcohol yield. So why do so many Americans sing the praises of corn-based biofuel? For
that answer you have to research the political and economic ramifications of our corporate farming
monoculture. That lies beyond the scope of this post.

But the most fascinating aspect of the connection between alcohol and fuel use concerns a little known
(or discussed) aspect of American history. To understand this relationship, one must examine some
contextual information of the early Twentieth Century. Most people are not aware that Henry Ford's
Model T came in a variation that allowed the driver to switch the carburetor to run the engine on farm-
made ethyl acohol. This allowed the operator to stop at local farms (equipped with stills) to refuel
his/her car during long trips through the backcountry. After all- the gas station wasn't exactly as
ubiquitous in those days, as it is now. The Standard Oil Company and its industrialist-founder John D.
Rockefeller wasn't too happy with this arrangement. After all, Rockefeller's company had a virtual
monoploly on gasoline at this time in our nation's development.
It should be evident to any serious student of history that John D. Rockefeller was no political
progressive. His fights with muckraker Ida Tarbell are legendary. She was ultimately responsible for the
dissolution of the Standard Oil Trust in 1911. Not that this actually hurt Rockefeller- his wealth actually
increased after Standard Oil broke up. Rockefeller held significant interests in the resulting companies,
which included the precursors of today's Seven Sisters oil companies. The break-up of Standard Oil
actually made him the wealthiest man in the world, as the share values of most of these companies
doubled. Yet Rockefeller would find benefit once again within the reform movement that he
considered his enemy. Since the late 1800's there had been a growing Alcohol Temperance Movement
developing among reformers. Rockefeller saw an opportunity in this. It is well-documented that local
efforts to curb alcohol consumption were expanded to the national level when high-profile figures like
Rockefeller joined in the anti-alcohol efforts. Was he so concerned with the social problems that abuse
of alcohol was said to cause?

No... John D. Rockefeller was not concerned with family dynamics in the working classes. But he was
influential in changing the goals of the movement from temperance to prohibition. As we know, his
contribution to the outlawing of the production and sale of alcohol was successful. Of course,
Rockefeller and the oil companies reaped tremendous profits as a result. Remember that the period
covered by the 18th Amendment (1919-1933) coincided with the huge rise in the sale and operation of
automobiles. America was on the move, and all of these cars were now operated solely on gasoline. By
the time that the 21st Amendment was passed, ending the prohibition of alcohol, the standard was
already set and worked completely in the favor of the Rockefeller family.

These events have had a tremendous development on the American economy, foreign policy direction,
and the environment. In fact the consequences are worldwide. It is easy to lose sight of the big picture,
and concentrate on the many subplots involving Detroit's supression of alternative fuel technologies.
The chapters being written in today's tumultuous climate are indeed the continuation of a story
started long ago. We venerate the capitalist captains of industry (like Rockefeller) without any
examination of what they have cost the nation and the world. If we don't re-evaluate our
contemporary thinking in light of the events of the past, we are headed for times in which alcohol may
be our only escape from a harsh reality. Maybe we have been pouring it in the wrong place all along.
History of Hemp
http://www.hemphousemaui.com/resources/history.php

Hemp is the ancient, eco-friendly fiber of the future. For over 5,000 years, hemp has been used for
textiles, paper, building materials, fuel, food and personal care products. Hemp can be grown with
little or no toxic chemical fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides. Today hemp is grown all over the
world. The crop is used to make over 25,000 consumer products. From hemp apparel and
accessories to housewares and hempseed oil cosmetics, hemp is an eco-shopper's dream.

1791
President Washington sets duties on hemp to encourage domestic industry;
Jefferson calls hemp "a necessity", and urges farmers to grow hemp instead of
tobacco.
1850's
Petrochemical age begins. Toxic sulfite and chlorine processes make paper
from trees, steamships replace sails, tropical fibres introduced.
1930's
New machines invented to break hemp, process the fibre, and convert pulp or
hurds into paper, plastics, etc. - Racist fears of Mexicans, Asians, and African
Americans leads to outcry for cannabis to be outlawed.
1935
Compressed agricultural fibreboard invented in Sweden.
1937
Marijuana Tax Act forbids hemp farming in the US. - Dupont files patent for
nylon.
1998
The Canadian government legalizes the commercial growth of industrial hemp.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuPont#Hemp

Hemp

Hemp paper threatened DuPont's monopoly on the necessary chemicals for

manufacturing paper from trees and hemp fiber cloth would compete with Nylon, a
synthetic fibre, that was patented in 1938, the year hemp was made illegal. [21][22] It is
often asserted in pro-cannabis publications that DuPont actively supported the
criminalization of the production of hemp in the US in 1937 through private and
government intermediates, and alleged that this was done to eliminate hemp as a
source of fiber—one of DuPont's biggest markets at the time. DuPont denies
allegations that it influenced hemp regulation.[citation needed]

Behind the Nylon Curtain

In 1974, Gerard Colby Zilg, wrote Du Pont: Behind the Nylon Curtain, a critical account
of the role of the DuPont family in American social, political and economic history. The
book was nominated for a National Book Award in 1974.

In 1984 Lyle Stuart re-released an extended version, Du Pont Dynasty: Behind the Nylon
Curtain.[23]
Chlorofluorocarbons

Along with General Motors, DuPont was the inventor of CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons),
and the largest producer of these ozone-depleting chemicals (used primarily in aerosol
sprays and refrigerants) in the world, with a 25% market share in the late 1980s.

Lewis du Pont Smith, in an April 27, 1994, open letter to shareholders on DuPont’s
CFC Policy, warns that DuPont Corporation will be destroyed when a consumer
backlash demands a Congressional investigation “regarding the science behind the
ozone depletion fraud and the economic forces that pushed for the CFC ban”, which
he called “the most massive consumer fraud of this century”, warning that “The cost to
consumers of the ban on CFCs will exceed $5 trillion: the consequences on human
health will be devastating.” Eight years before, Lewis du Pont Smith had been declared
mentally incompetent to handle his affairs after he gave hundreds of thousands of
dollars to Lyndon LaRouche.[27][28]
History of Marijuana
http://www.illuminati-news.com/marijuana-conspiracy.htm

ARIJUANA is DANGEROUS. Pot is NOT harmful to the human body or mind.

Marijuana does NOT pose a threat to the general public. Marijuana is very much
a danger to the oil companies, alcohol, tobacco industries and a large number of
chemical corporations. Various big businesses, with plenty of dollars and
influence, have suppressed the truth from the people.

The truth is if marijuana was utilized for its vast array of commercial products, it would create
an industrial atomic bomb! Entrepreneurs have not been educated on the product potential of
pot. The super rich have conspired to spread misinformation about an extremely versatile plant
that, if used properly, would ruin their companies.

Where did the word 'marijuana' come from? In the mid 1930s, the M-word was created to
tarnish the good image and phenomenal history of the hemp plant...as you will read. The facts
cited here, with references, are generally verifiable in the Encyclopedia Britannica which was
printed on hemp paper for 150 years:

* All schoolbooks were made from hemp or flax paper until the 1880s; Hemp Paper
Reconsidered, Jack Frazier, 1974.

* It was LEGAL TO PAY TAXES WITH HEMP in America from 1631 until the early 1800s; LA
Times, Aug. 12, 1981.

* REFUSING TO GROW HEMP in America during the 17th and 18th Centuries WAS
AGAINST THE LAW! You could be jailed in Virginia for refusing to grow hemp from 1763 to
1769; Hemp in Colonial Virginia, G. M. Herdon.

Why is Marijuana Illegal?

Many people assume that marijuana was made illegal through some kind of process
involving scientific, medical, and government hearings; that it was to protect the
citizens from what was determined to be a dangerous drug.

The actual story shows a much different picture. Those who voted on the legal fate of
this plant never had the facts, but were dependent on information supplied by those
who had a specific agenda to deceive lawmakers. You’ll see below that the very first
federal vote to prohibit marijuana was based entirely on a documented lie on the floor
of the Senate.

You’ll also see that the history of marijuana’s criminalization is filled with:

Racism
Fear
Protection of Corporate Profits
Yellow Journalism
Ignorant, Incompetent, and/or Corrupt Legislators
Personal Career Advancement and Greed

These are the actual reasons marijuana is illegal.

Toxicologist Warning to Parents: Look for Signs of K2 -- 'Fake Marijuana'

ScienceDaily (Mar. 3, 2010) — In the last month, Anthony Scalzo, M.D., professor of
toxicology at Saint Louis University, has seen nearly 30 cases involving teenagers who were
experiencing hallucinations, severe agitation, elevated heart rate and blood pressure, vomiting
and, in some cases, tremors and seizures. All of these teens had smoked a dangerous, yet legal
substance known as K2 or "fake weed."

According to Scalzo, K2, an unregulated mixture of dried herbs, is growing in popularity

because it is legal, purported to give a high similar to marijuana and believed to be natural and
therefore safe.

"K2 may be a mixture of herbal and spice plant products, but it is sprayed with a potent
psychotropic drug and likely contaminated with an unknown toxic substance that is causing
many adverse effects. These toxic chemicals are neither natural nor safe," said Scalzo, who also
directs the Missouri Regional Poison Control Center at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's
Medical Center.

What makes K2 so dangerous? Further testing is needed, but Scalzo says the symptoms, such as
fast heart beat, dangerously elevated blood pressure, pale skin and vomiting suggest that K2 is
affecting the cardiovascular system of users. It also is believed to affect the central nervous
system, causing severe, potentially life-threatening hallucinations and, in some cases, seizures.

While JWH 018, a synthetic man-made drug, similar to cannabis, may be responsible for the
hallucinations, Scalzo suspects that there is another unknown toxic chemical being sprayed on
K2.

K2, also known as "spice," has been sold since 2006 as incense or potpourri. It sells for
approximately $30 to $40 per three gram bag, which is comparable in cost to marijuana, and is
available over the Internet.

"K2 use is not limited to the Midwest; reports of its use are cropping up all over the country. I
think K2 is likely a bigger problem than we're aware of at this time," Scalzo said.

Legislators in Missouri currently are considering a proposed ban of K2, which Scalzo supports.
In the meantime, he says that parents should be on the lookout for warning signs such as
agitation, pale appearance, anxiety or confusion due to hallucinations.

"Look for dried herb residues lying around your kids' room. Chances are they are not using
potpourri to make their rooms smell better or oregano to put on their pizza," Scalzo said.
History of Opium, Cocaine and Heroin
Who benefits from the Afghan Opium Trade?
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=3294

http://www.opioids.com/timeline/

A BRIEF HISTORY OF OPIUM

"Opium teaches only one thing, which is that aside

from physical suffering, there is nothing real."
André Malraux
MAN'S FATE

1767
The British East India Company's import of opium to China reaches a staggering two thousand chests of
opium per year.

1773
East India Company assumes monopoly over all the opium produced in Bengal, Bihar and Orissa.
Warren Hastings introduces system of contracts. Contracts for dealing in opium were awarded through
auction.

1793
The British East India Company establishes a monopoly on the opium trade. All poppy growers in India
were forbidden to sell opium to competitor trading companies.

1796
The import of opium into China becomes a contraband trade. Silver was smuggled out to pay for
smuggling opium in.

1797
East India Company introduced Bengal Regulation IV to enable appointment of Opium Agents for
purchase of opium from cultivators and its processing at factories owned by the company at Patna and
Ghazipur

1799
China's emperor, Kia King, bans opium completely, making trade and poppy cultivation illegal.

1800
The British Levant Company purchases nearly half of all of the opium coming out of Smyrna, Turkey
strictly for importation to Europe and the United States.

1816
John Jacob Astor of New York City joins the opium smuggling trade. His American Fur Company
purchases ten tons of Turkish opium then ships the contraband item to Canton on the Macedonian.
Astor would later leave the China opium trade and sell solely to England.

1819
Writer John Keats and other English literary personalities experiment with opium intended for strict
recreational use - simply for the high and taken at extended, non-addictive intervals
 1827
E. Merck & Company of Darmstadt, Germany, begins commercial manufacturing of morphine.

1830
The British dependence on opium for medicinal and recreational use reaches an all time high as 22,000
pounds of opium is imported from Turkey and India.

Jardine-Matheson & Company of London inherit India and its opium from the British East India
Company once the mandate to rule and dictate the trade policies of British India are no longer in effect.

1890
U.S. Congress, in its earliest law-enforcement legislation on narcotics, imposes a tax on opium and
morphine.

Tabloids owned by William Randolph Hearst publish stories of white women being seduced by Chinese
men and their opium to invoke fear of the 'Yellow Peril', disguised as an "anti-drug" campaign.

895
Heinrich Dreser working for The Bayer Company of Elberfeld, Germany, finds that diluting morphine with
acetyls produces a drug without the common morphine side effects. Bayer begins production of
diacetylmorphine and coins the name "heroin." Heroin would not be introduced commercially for another
three years.

1902
In various medical journals, physicians discuss the side effects of using heroin as a morphine step-down
cure. Several physicians would argue that their patients suffered from heroin withdrawal symptoms
equal to morphine addiction.
1903
Heroin addiction rises to alarming rates.
1905
U.S. Congress bans opium.

1909
The first federal drug prohibition passes in the U.S. outlawing the importation of opium. It was passed in
preparation for the Shanghai Conference, at which the US presses for legislation aimed at suppressing
the sale of opium to China.

Dec. 17, 1914

The passage of Harrison Narcotics Act which aims to curb drug (especially cocaine but also heroin)
abuse and addiction. It requires doctors, pharmacists and others who prescribed narcotics to register
and pay a tax.

1923
The U.S. Treasury Department's Narcotics Division (the first federal drug agency) bans all legal
narcotics sales. With the prohibition of legal venues to purchase heroin, addicts are forced to buy from
illegal street dealers.

1925
In the wake of the first federal ban on opium, a thriving black market opens up in New York's Chinatown.

1930s
The majority of illegal heroin smuggled into the U.S. comes from China and is refined in Shanghai and
Tietsin.

July 1, 1973
President Nixon creates the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) under the Justice Dept. to
consolidate virtually all federal powers of drug enforcement in a single agency.
1978
The U.S. and Mexican governments find a means to eliminate the source of raw opium - by spraying
poppy fields with Agent Orange. The eradication plan is termed a success as the amount of "Mexican
Mud" in the U.S. drug market declines. In response to the decrease in availability of "Mexican Mud",
another source of heroin is found in the Golden Crescent area - Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan, creating
a dramatic upsurge in the production and trade of illegal heroin.

1999
Bumper opium crop of 4,600 tons in Afghanistan. UN Drug Control Program estimates around 75% of
world's heroin production is of Afghan origin.

2000
Taliban leader Mullah Omar bans poppy cultivation in Afghanistan; United Nations Drug Control
Program confirms opium production eradicated.

Autumn 2001
War in Afghanistan; heroin floods the Pakistan market. Taleban regime overthrown.

October 2002
U.N. Drug Control and Crime Prevention Agency announces Afghanistan has regained its position as
the world's largest opium producer.

August 2007
Afghanistan's poppy production rises an estimated 15 percent over 2006. Afghanistan now accounts for
95 percent of the world's opium poppy crop, a 3 percentage point increase over last year. The US State
Department's top counternarcotics official Tom Schweich claims that Afghanistan is now "providing close
to 95 percent of the world's heroin".

Chapter 2 - Nelson Rockefeller

The hysterical image of the vampire-addict that Captain Hobson propagated in the
1930s was brilliantly refined into a national political issue in the 1960s by Nelson
Rockefeller, who, in projecting this nationwide "reign of terror," had at his
disposal an unprecedented family fortune. The Rockefeller fortune was begun by
Nelson's great grandfather William Avery Rockefeller, a nineteenth-century dealer
in drugs who, like modern narcotics dealers, dressed in extravagant ilk costumes,
used aliases, and never carried less than a thousand dollars in cash on his person.
"Big Bill," as he was commonly called, hawked "herbal remedies" and other
bottled medicines which, if they were like other patent medicines being sold in
those days, contained opium as an active ingredient. Long before opium-the juice
from the poppy-became the base of patent medicine in America, it was used in Asia
as a remedy for dysentery and as a general pain-killer. Because it was a powerful
analgesic, hucksters on the American frontier made quick fortunes selling their
various "miracle" preparations.
New History of Cocaine

The active ingredient (an alkaloid) from the coca plant (erythroxylum) was first isolated by a
chemist named Albert Niemann. In 1860 he gave the compound the name cocaine.

The drug induces a sense of exhilaration in the user primarily by blocking the reuptake of the
neurotransmitter dopamine in the midbrain.

Soon after it was first synthesized, cocaine was available almost everywhere. Sometimes
available in powder form, it was also mixed with various other products like wine and
cigarettes. Doctors dispensed cocaine as an antidote to morphine addiction. Unfortunately,
some patients made a habit of combining them.

Coca has been grown commercially in Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Indonesia, Nigeria, Malaysia and
Japan. The first cocaine cartel was formed, not in Columbia, but in Amsterdam.

Founded in 1910, the Cocaine Manufacturers Syndicate included pharmaceutical giants Merck,
Sandoz and Hoffman-LaRoche. At present, however, most production occurs in clandestine
laboratories in South America.

The CIA And Cocaine

The cocaine trade continues to spawn eyebrow-raising alliances. Declassified documents now
available at the CIA web site disclose that in the 1980s CIA operatives teamed up with cocaine
dealers in the fight against Communism.

In 1979, the people of the small Central American country of Nicaragua overthrew the US-
backed Samoza dictatorship. To the horror of US policy-makers, the Nicaraguans then elected a
left-wing government.

Investigative journalist Richard Webb, in his book Dark Alliance first revealed how profits
from cocaine sold in Los Angeles and Miami were used by the CIA to fund, and buy guns for
the anti communist contra rebels.
History of the Bush Cartel, including drug smuggling
But it seems that great-granpa George Walker was also in on the business of making money out
of death (like great-granpa like great grand-son),

"George Walker, GW's great-grandfather, also set up the takeover of the Hamburg-America
Line, a cover for I.G. Farben's Nazi espionage unit in the United States. In Germany, I.G.
Farben was most famous for putting the gas in gas chambers; it was the producer of Zyklon B
and other gasses used on victims of the Holocaust. The Bush family was not unaware of the
nature of their investment partners. They hired Allen Dulles, the future head of the CIA, to hide
the funds they were making from Nazi investments and the funds they were sending to Nazi
Germany, rather than divest."

Banking on Fascism

It just doesn’t stop does it, as Prescott Bush, son of George continued in the ‘grand tradition’ of
skullduggery by also doing deals with the Nazis,

"On October 20, 1942, the US Alien Property Custodian, under the "Trading With the Enemy
Act," seized the shares of the Union Banking Corporation (UBC), of which Prescott Bush was a
director and shareholder. The largest shareholder was E. Roland Harriman. (Bush was also the
managing partner of Brown Brothers Harriman, a leading Wall Street investment firm.)

"The UBC was established to send American capital to Germany to finance the reorganization
of its industry under the Nazis. Their leading German partner was the notorious Nazi
industrialist Fritz Thyssen, who wrote a book admitting much of this called "I Paid Hitler."

"Among the companies financed was the Silesian-American Corporation, which was also
managed by Prescott Bush, and by his father-in-law George Herbert Walker, who supplied
Dub-a-Ya with his name. The company was vital in supplying coal to the Nazi war industry. It
too was seized as a Nazi-front on November 17, 1942. The largest company Bush's UBC helped
finance was the German Steel Trust, responsible for between one-third and one-half of Nazi
iron and explosives.

"Prescott Bush was also a director of the Harriman Fifteen Corporation, (this one owned largely
by Roland's brother, Averell Harriman), which owned about a third of the Consolidated Silesian
Steel Corporation, the rest owned by Friedrich Flick, (a member of Himmler's "Circle of
Friends" who donated to the S.S.)."

Source: http://www.lpdallas.org/features/draheim/dr991216.htm

What is interesting about the history of the Bush family are the connections; Avril Harriman,
Allen Dulles, the Rockefellers (the start of the oil connection), James Baker III, Gulf Oil,
Pennzoil, Osama bin Laden…on and on it goes. It looks like this’ll have to be part one of an on-
going series on the Bush dynasty and their dirty dealings.

"BCCI defrauded depositors of $10 billion in the '80s in what has been called the
"largest bank fraud in world financial history" by former Manhattan District
Attorney Robert Morgenthau."

The BCCI-Bush connection is, it could be argued an ‘accidental’ one, but it’s highly unlikely
even if it is difficult to track, But the seeds are all there, including GW Snr’s CIA connection
(as head of it) in the 1970s and the links to BCCI (see below) as well as his long time
association with James R. Bath an investor in Arbusto. Bath, was a Houston businessman and
old friend was also an investor in BCCI. Essentially, BCCI was a convenient ‘channel’ for
moving money through to fund the various illegal enterprises being undertaken at the time
including, Iran-Contra, the Iranian arms sales, CIA money laundering operations, connections
to powerful Middle Eastern businessmen, the Vatican and its right-wing connections through
BNL.

Perhaps this extract from "Texas Connections"

(http://www.thedubyareport.com/txconnect.html) gives you an idea of the reach:

"… Sheikh Abdullah Bahksh of Saudi Arabia, a 16% shareholder in Harken

Energy at the time, was represented by a Palestinian-born Chicago investor
named Talat Othman, who served with George W. Bush on the board of Harken
Energy. Othman made at least three separate visits to the White House to discuss
Middle East affairs with then President George Bush. At about the same time,
and just prior to the Gulf War, Harken Energy, with no previous international or
offshore drilling experience, was awarded a 35-year petroleum exploration
contract with the emirate of Bahrain.

Sheikh Bahksh emerged as a co-investor in the Bank of Commerce and Credit

International (BCCI), a criminal enterprise since dissolved, that existed primarily
as a mechanism for obtaining political influence using Middle Eastern oil
money. Bahrain's prime minister, Sheik Khalifah bin-Sulman al-Khalifah, was a
major investor in BCCI's parent company, BCCI Holdings, of Luxembourg.
Through its commodities affiliate, Capcom, BCCI was used as a money
laundering service by drug traffickers, arms dealers, etc. BCCI's front man in the
U.S., and the person chiefly responsible for its takeover of First American Bank
in the U.S., was Kamal Adham. Adham is referred to in the Kerry Committee
report on BCCI as having been "the CIA's principal liaison for the entire Middle
East from the mid-1960's through 1979." He was also the head of intelligence for
Saudi Arabia during the time George Bush Sr. was Director of the CIA."
History of the "War on Drugs"

1914: The Opening Salvo

The Supreme Court ruled in 1886 that state governments could not regulate interstate
commerce--and the federal government, whose skimpy law enforcement focused mainly on
counterfeiting and other crimes against the state, initially did very little to pick up the slack. This
changed during the early years of the 20th century, as the invention of automobiles made
interstate crime--and investigation of interstate crime--more practicable.

The Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 targeted toxic drugs, and was expanded to address
misleading drug labels in 1912. But the piece of legislation most relevant to the War on Drugs
was the Harrison Tax Act of 1914, which restricted the sale of heroin and was quickly used to
restrict the sale of cocaine as well.

1937: Reefer Madness

By 1937, the FBI had cut its teeth on Depression-era gangsters and achieved some level of
national prestige. Prohibition had ended, and meaningful federal health regulation was about to
come about under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act of 1938. The Federal Bureau of
Narcotics, operating under the U.S. Treasury Department, had come into existence in 1930
under the leadership of Harry Anslinger (shown left).

And into this new national enforcement framework came the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937, which
attempted to tax marijuana into oblivion Marijuana had not been shown to be dangerous, but
the perception that it might be a "gateway drug" for heroin users--and its alleged popularity
among Mexican-American immigrants--made it an easy target.
1971: "Public Enemy Number One"

With passage of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970,
the federal government took a more active role in drug enforcement and drug abuse
prevention. Nixon, who called drug abuse "public enemy number one" in a 1971
speech, emphasized treatment at first and used his administration's clout to push for
the treatment of drug addicts, particularly heroin addicts.

The War on Drugs isn't working. That's a heck of a thing for a drug and alcohol rehab
website to say! Many view the War on Drugs as propaganda and rhetoric with no real
teeth. Money spent on the War on Drug in 2005 is expected to top $50 billion dollars in
the U. S. with $20 billion coming from the federal government and $30 billion coming
from state governments.

The War on Drugs in the U. S. has its roots deeply embedded in racism. In 1875, the first anti-drug
ordinance was passed in San Francisco, because authorities at the time were afraid of Chinese
men luring "white women" into promiscuous activities using opium.

In the early 1900's, the idea of the "Negro Cocaine Fiend" was highly publicized as someone who
was prone to violent sexual rampages against white women. Outlawing marijuana in 1937 was a
repressive measure against Mexican migrant workers who were crossing the borders and taking
jobs during the Great Depression. Marijuana was supposed to promote violence within the
"degenerate races." No evidence to any of this has ever been verified.
How to Understand the History of the War on Drugs

Member

By Natasha Jackson-Arnautu, eHow Member

During the 1970s, President Richard Nixon officially began the War on Drugs. Nixon's
assertion that the abuse of illicit drugs is "pubic enemy number one" was not widely accepted at
the time, and members of the National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse
recommended that marijuana be legalized. Although technically beginning as early as the late
1800's, the United States' War on Drugs began in response to the increase in cocaine trafficking
in the late 1980s and was introduced by former President Ronald Reagan.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

1. Step 1

Understand Prohibition. During the prohibition era, the U.S. government passed a
Constitutional amendment banning the sale, manufacture and transport of alcohol.
What's equally interesting about the Prohibition era (1920-1933) is that it was the first
amendment that effectively took freedoms from the American people rather than
guaranteeing them.

2. Step 2

Read the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act. Passed by Congress, the bill essentially put a $1 tax
on the sale of cannabis and required that all sellers submit records of their transactions
which included the names of their customers. Another provision of the Act required that
all sellers present their products, which amounted to a confession and subjected them to
the codified penalties; $2000 and up to 5 years in prison. Although this law violated the
Fifth Amendment, it was kept on the books until 1970.

3. Step 3

Research the theory of gateway drugs. During the first half of the 20th Century many
people, especially government officials believed that the use of one drug (marijuana)
would lead individuals on a path to "harder" drugs like heroin. Many drug laws were
based on this theory and today remain the major basis for criminalizing marijuana in the
United States.

4. Step 4

Familiarize yourself with the history of the DEA. Originally named the Bureau of
Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, the agency name was changed to the current Drug
 Enforcement Agency in 1973. Initially part of the Department of justice, the BNDD was
formed to enforce a newly passed bill by President Nixon, the Controlled Substance Act
of 1970.

5. Step 5

Read the 2 volume Report of Investigation written by CIA Inspector General. This
report confirms many media stories alleging that the United States government was
involved in cocaine trafficking into the country, as well as a cover up. Although widely
denied initially, this report was confirmed by the Justice Department that reached
similar conclusions in their respective investigation.

6. Step 6

Determine the legality of the War on Drugs. Understanding the history of the War on
Drugs will lead you to form your own opinions regarding the federal government's
ability to dictate issues that should be regulated by the state. Furthermore an
understanding of the history will help you draw your own conclusions regarding the
effectiveness of the War on Drugs.

Tips & Warnings

Half of all incarcerated individuals in the United States is due to laws passed to win the "war"
on drugs.
