^ THIS! FINALLY someone pointed out the elephant in the room. But maybe that's the wrong phrase to use, because most here seem to be completely and blissfully unaware that our own government has been involved with bringing drugs into this country. That's exactly why I've been saying they don't give 2 shits about the drug problem. That's just the pretext for the Empire's real goal, regime change in Venezuela and to take control of their resources.
Is no one here familiar with what happened in Mena, Arkansas, back when Bubba Clinton was governor?
A former CIA pilot (Terry Reed) who was involved became a whistleblower, and he's had numerous attempts on his life. Witnesses were murdered...does no one here remember "The Boys on the Railroad Tracks"? The murder of those boys led to a string of murders, of people who knew them and the reason they were killed.
As I've mentioned many times before on other threads, people need to read the book "Compromised: Clinton, Bush and the CIA" by Terry Reed and John Cummings.
And he's not the only whistleblower, there have been others, as you mentioned.
Anyone who thinks that a corrupt government (it has been corrupt for a long time, so this is not about Trump) actually cares about drugs really needs to turn off the idiot box, wake up and start using their noodle.
