[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]As if we didn't already know, but it's nice to have confirmation.

And it's still going on in a different guise. Since we invaded Afghanistan, the U.S. now controls some 80+ percent of the heroin (poppy seeds) worldwide. Our military is helping guard those poppy fields.

Invading Afghanistan was just another "business opportunity" for the mega-rich - and 9/11 just a convenient excuse - paid for by us, and it's still a way to criminalize and eliminate the marginalized in our society - especially blacks, who bear the brunt of our drug laws.



It's not demand fueling the supply, it's the flooding of our poor neighborhoods' streets with drugs that's fueling addiction. Gotta protect Big Pharma's legal oxycodone source, as well as keep the down-and-outs addicted, ya know.
