Thread Name: BS: Bush's Opium War
Subject: RE: BS: Bush's (fill in the blank) War
There are a few givens that are not conspiracy theories.
1. All governments lie and murder. (if Sweden is an exception let me know)
2. The loudest voice in the ear of government is the most profitable.
3. Dubya's daddy put Noreiga in power, then in jail only after drug profits were not distributed to his liking.
4. Yes the Afgan opium trade is reinstated.
5. If we want a regieme change of our own despite the Military Industrial Complex straglehold on our lives...
the rational approach, I think, is for enough concerned people to speak up and remind those in power whom they're supposed to be working for. It's not that those in power are stupid--it's that they work for the ones who pay them the most. When individuals join their power together to the point that they require attention, something will happen. Until then, money donations from corporations will call the shots, as they do today. I personally don't believe that personnel changes will accomplish much as long as the present system of who owns the government (corporations and lobbyists) operates.
