Western Cant At China Beggars Belief
China’s Execution Of A Man Convicted Of Breaking The Law Is Not Earth-Shattering News, Writes Eilis O’Hanlon

…the hypocrisy on this side of the world in response to his tragic death has been staggering. The fact that China executes thousands of people every year in similarly dubious circumstances, harvesting their organs for transplants in the process and then burying them in secret, didn’t stop us from going along wholeheartedly with the festival of fun that was the Beijing Olympics in 2008.

Some changes I’ve noticed down here. Mainly, the old idea of “Mexican dirt weed” is quickly disappearing. Seems the cartels/growers are starting to experiment with more seed strains and getting it right. New strains are showing up down here all the time. And an 1.5oz bag goes for around $150P, which is just about the price of a lid back in the 60s. Hydro is also beginning to show itself down here. As far as the National Decrim Law goes, I’ve noticed less and less “street interviews” and pullovers. The phrase of the day here is “don’t be obvious.”

Ezrydn:

And the remaining ones are awfully pissed off. The navy photographed Leyva’s body without his pants and covered the body in bloody 100 dollar bills and pesos, then gave the photo to the press.

The BLO responded by killing the family of the one sailor who died in the battle because the press released his name. They killed them ALL on the way back from the funeral.

I hope the BLO goes down too, but they aren’t going quietly. And as we know, their neighboring cartels will just take over their territory and hire new people.

Drugs will flow uninterrupted.

And the kicker of it all? There’s a planet-wide shortage of opiate-based analgesics. And the ugly truth is, nothing man-made beats the poppy-derived drugs for that. Yet we are going to continue drug prohibition to maintain banksters and bureaucrats and oil-company lackies in power, causing that shortage to deepen, and will for the foreseeable future. How’s that for stupid?

The fact that destroying the crops would have alienated the populace,because it is their only income,but the DEA could have bought the whole crop,for less than 1/10th their budget,and napalmed it. It would have stopped 80% of the worlds opium production and stopped anyone from being harmed by it,or any terrorist group using it to fund
attacks.
Because they allowed it to be sold on the black market is the very reason more and more countries are abandoning the war on drugs. They recognize a scam when they see one.
When the country that crammed the drug war down the throat of the UN,then turns around and allows drugs to be sold,it speaks louder than all their propaganda and lies.

Up north where the steets are cold
the stories told will make your blood run cold
The gentry lied nowhere to hide
so many died the remainder are fried
Its no better in Canada folks.

All this maddness has my head spinning so much I wanna puke!

Dont they realize(in afganistan) that cutting down the poppies will just drive these farmers to join the opposition? How stupid are they now?

The coming year could see an increase of violence here and in Mexico. Wait for it.

I’m gonna go puke now.

“The Obama administration tried to neutralize the drug issue earlier this year when it reversed a Bush-era policy of destroying poppy crops in Afghanistan, a tactic officials said did little or nothing to reduce the amount of drug money flowing to the Taliban and simply drove the population into the insurgents’ camp.”

As the French say, “Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.”…a.k.a Same sh*t, different day. Whack-a-mole. Emptying oceans with leaky thimbles. Putting out fires with gasoline. But the O Admin didn’t stop because of tender concerns for the farmers. It’s more concern for his big-shot bankster buddie’s profits from laundering all that dirty money and keeping the big banks afloat…on top of the money they received from the Fed, and for which we’ll be paying for the rest of our lives.
