Pulse of the Twin Cities - Locally Grown Alternative Newspaper.Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.http://pulsetc.com/article.php?sid=1949 THE FIX:Thursday 21 July @ 21:29:55 The CIA and the War on Drugsby Ed FelienPreface The British East India Company exercised monopoly control of the growing of opium in India and its transport and importation to China as early as 1750. Chinese Emperors objected. They issued edicts against its use. Foreign traders were ordered to surrender their opium in 1839. The British sent in warships, beginning the First Opium War. In 1841 the British defeated the Chinese. The Chinese had to pay a large indemnity and surrender Hong Kong. A little later some Chinese threw chests of opium into the sea in imitation of the American Revolution. The British were not amused. The British and French renewed hostilities toward the Chinese, beginning the Second Opium War. The British won large indemnities and the importation of opium was legalized in 1856. As early as 1800 the British Levant Company was purchasing opium in Turkey for importation to the U. S. Smuggling was the sport of the ruling class in the first years of the 19th century. In 1805 Charles Cabot (of the Boston Cabots) was involved in trade from the British to the Chinese, and John Jacob Astor purchased 10 tons of opium in Turkey to sell to the Chinese. A lot of that opium found its way to America, either directly through importation to New York City or through the immigration of Chinese and consequent opium dens in San Francisco.Heroin was invented by Heinrich Dreser in 1895 while working for Bayer Drug Company. Bayer introduced it as a substitute for morphine. By 1903 heroin addiction had risen to alarming rates. By 1924 heroin was made illegal and the black market and the underworld were born.In the early years of the 20th century, Corsican gangsters purchased opium from Turkey and from Burma through the French colony of Vietnam. They refined it in Marseilles, making it into heroin, and they brought it to New York to be distributed by the Mafia. World War II, the Mafia and the OSS World War II disrupted trade routes. Germany controlled much of the eastern Mediterranean, and the Japanese controlled Burma and Vietnam. The French convinced Hmong farmers to cultivate opium to insure a regular supply, but distribution routes to the United States were upset because Mussolini had virtually wiped out the Mafia in Sicily. With Lucky Luciano in prison and the European connections cut off, the American Mafia was in a sad state of disrepair in 1942. But then, Mafia kingpin Meyer Lansky had a great idea: Why not join the war effort, liberate Sicily and restart the business? He was able to sell the OSS (the Office of Strategic Services, the early precursor of the CIA) on his idea that the Mafia in Sicily would operate as a local resistance movement. The Mafia would assist in the liberation of Sicily if they could run Sicily and Naples after the United States left. Also, Luciano would have to be released from prison. The OSS agreed and thus was born the first of many bargains with the devil that was to become the mold in which all future relations with the underworld and criminal class were cast. Most people in the OSS probably had no idea of the extent of the relationship. Many of those who did turned a blind eye to the role the Mafia played in the transportation of heroin to New York City. But some others did see the OSS setting up the drug smuggling operation on very similar lines to what would happen in Vietnam. [See, in particular, A Pledge Betrayed, Part 5, The OSS in Europe.] Vietnam When the French lost at Dienbienphu in 1954, they agreed to leave Vietnam. They and the Viet Mihn agreed to a temporary partition of the country into North and South Vietnam, and then in a year there were to be national elections and unity. Eisenhower, in his book, Mandate for Change, admits the United States couldnt let elections happen because the Communists would have won them. So, even though the United States signed the agreements and said they would abide by them, the United States sent advisors into South Vietnam to set up a series of puppet governments to maintain the fiction of two Vietnams. The CIA also inherited the Meo tribes and the Hmong in the mountains. These people had been clients of the French, now they were clients of the Americans. They continued to grow opium and planes still flew the opium to Marseilles, but now they were U.S. planes from Air America, the new CIA charter airline.Narconon International says in the 1950s, before there were overt hostilities, U. S. efforts to contain the spread of Communism in Asia involves forging alliances with tribes and warlords inhabiting the areas of the Golden Triangle, (an expanse covering Laos, Thailand and Burma), thus providing accessibility and protection along the southeast

--- tents444 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Exactly what parts of the articles I posted are you talking about? Can you quote them please? Hi dear friend! I was specifically referring to the intro: Slavery as it existed in the South was not an adversarial relationship with pervasive racial animosity. Because of its dominantly patriarchal character, it was a relationship based upon mutual affection and confidence... Slave life was to them a life of plenty, of simple pleasures, of food, clothes, and good medical care. also: asserts that slaves weren't treated as badly as people think. I am NOT saying that these slaves were perfectly treated, but they were treated BETTER than illegal Mexicans today who do most of the US hard work, or than blacks today, or the sweatshop workers who make most (cheap) things that the USA and EU use today. Even the worst part, that the women were sexual toys of the men, and even the children... that has been humanity in its nature always (in the Bible, the 'natural' man is one who does not know God). I've always seen it, since I was a 13 yr old, and even since about age 9. Perhaps the ONLY place I have seen this well expressed is on Brazilian soap operas dealing with slavery in colonial times. I also saw it in Alabama. This may sound weird coming from a Quaker, but note that I do NOT say these things are good, but that we need to stop fooling ourselves so as to make things right. For example, all that the US has been doing in Gunatanamo, and ALL of Cuba. Is that any less demoniac than what slaveholders did? Nope, because slaveholders were not mostly perverts, as are any soldiers in a war situation, nor was the land being stolen, as in the much worse genocide against the natives. The Africans were kidnapped. (TODAY, their land is being stolen, war is the tool, and the ONLY hope of Africa is the descendency of those slaves) But there was no genocide, and abuse was not as bad as what Bush does today to ALL the rest of the world. Just look at me- I have a horrendous problem now, ONLY because Mr. Danger, as Chavez calls Bush, has caused problems with finding meds. My medication can cause fatal seizures if interrupted, and since the coup, I've been living a life of 'slavery' to the USA's economic desires in OUR country! I'd be much better off smoking natural pot or opium instead of having poisoned myself with those meds! The drug war today is also much more cruel on afro-americans than the slavery ever was. I'd rather have been a black slave in Alabama than go through these seizures, looking for medicines all over this gigantic city. Of course, I should mention that slavery seemed to cause some epilepsy- Harriet Tubman got it from being hit on the head by her master. But my seizures have already caused a LOT of damage, even to the children I used to teach, who have no good tutor anymore. And from falling, I have a lot of smashes on my head, too. A comment on school curriculum- apart from what the book was, I wonder WHO designed the curriculum, and with what purpose. Perhaps that is rather what you were addressing? Were parents asked if that is what they want their kids to learn? What is the racial makeup of the place? Are kids allowed to express different opinions? Thinking about that, I remember that Quakers specifically left North Carolina because of the slavery issue. The slaves they were releasing were being re-caught, and sold again. SO they began to go west, slaves and all, to free them there- and with this good purpose, they 'pushed forward' the completion of the natives' genocide. What is worse? I am at a loss. ALL I can say, is that the USA all smells like spilled blood. Vanessa __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[cia-drugs] academic freedom?
http://www.stophr3077.org On Tuesday, July 26, 2005, the following alarming article was published on CounterPunch: http://www.counterpunch.org/lindorff07232005.html Meet the New McCarthyites Return of the Academic Witch Hunts by David Lindorff [EMAIL PROTECTED] McCarthy-style witch hunts are coming back, and the first place we'll be seeing them is at Pennsylvania's public colleges and universities. Under the innocent-sounding name Academic Bill of Rights, a gaggle of right-wing culture warriors in the Republican-led Pennsylvania House recently passed HR 177, a resolution authorizing them to invade public colleges and universities armed with subpoenas to grill faculty on curricula, reading lists, exams, homework assignments, grading and teaching styles, and to take testimony from students, allegedly to determine whether their professors are fair or biased. The underlying assumption of the resolution -- part of a nationwide campaign spearheaded by one-time SDS lefty and now rabid right-wing activist David Horowitz -- is that America's colleges and universities have been overrun by leftist fanatics intent on banishing conservative ideas and punishing conservative or Christian students who dare to speak out. The notion that leftists are in charge in academia, is as bogus as the notion that the media are dominated by liberals. The political mix on most campus faculties across the country is not much different from what you'd find in the broader community. Moreover, leftist teachers are no more likely to impose their ideas on students or to punish those who disagree than are rightists (maybe less), and in either case such behavior should and would likely be roundly condemned. (Any decent school has a mechanism for students to challenge political bias by a professor, and indeed Horowitz and his minions have been hard-pressed to show any hard evidence of such abuses.) Add to this the reality that at the higher you look in university administrations, through chairs to deans and provosts on up to presidents, the more conservative officials tend to be politically. At Pennsylvania's Temple University, for example, the University Senate voted resoundingly to oppose HR177 as a threat to ac ademic freedom and free speech, yet the university president, David Adamany -- technically an ex-officio member of the Senate -- was quoted publicly as not seeing anything troubling about the legislative intrusion into academic affairs. In my own limited experience in academia (which has included teaching at Alfred University, a small liberal arts institution, Ithaca College, a rather mainstream private institution with an emphasis on the arts, and Ivy League Cornell University), being overtly on the left was seen as a bit edgy, and perhaps even dangerous to one's tenure aspirations. The Horowitzniks and Pennsylvania's HR177 backers also misunderstand, or deliberately misrepresent, the role of a university professor, particularly in the liberal arts fields like literature, political science, philosophy, sociology, etc., which is where their attention is focused. University teaching, unlike elementary and high school instruction, should not be so much a covering of the field as an introduction to the idea of self-instruction and independent thinking. At its best, a college course should teach students how to pursue knowledge on their own, how to research and express their own ideas, and how to defend and, as needed, amend or even reject those ideas on the basis of free intellectual debate. There is nothing wrong with having a teacher who presents a point of view, as long as that teacher is honest about it, and open to challenge. My favorite teachers when I was an undergraduate in the late '60s were precisely those professors who held strong views with which I disagreed vehemently, because they forced me to clarify my own thinking and to defend my own contrarian positions. What Howoritz and the HR177 resolution backers seek is a bland, neutral academy where everyone keeps her or his ideas to her or himself. By bringing a legislative inquisition to campus, these people are really pursuing an agenda of intimidation and conformity, hoping to silence those in academe who may hold views out of synch with the national consensus. I taught once at a school that was like that: Fudan University in the People's Republic of China. Pennsylvania is the first state where they've succeeded in passing a version of Howoritz's insidious red-baiting legislation. The anti-intellectual crew in Harrisburg was aided in its efforts by a state media that ignored their campaign until the measure had already passed. Pennsylvania's main newspaper, the Philadelphia Inquirer, ran no reports on House hearings on the resolution or even on the final vote. In fact, the Inquirer's first mention of the resolution -- run after the measure had already passed -- was an op-ed rant by a

Dear Bob, first let me say that the vagal nerve

CIA agent Harold Hodge, who controlled all US
dental research grants and top dental academia
positions for decades, had an underground tunnel
from his office and lab into a mental institution.
Without their permission or knowledge, Hodge
injected patients with radioactive substances. No
doubt he had some pompous excuse. That was
only a couple of years after several US states
stopped doing involuntary surgical lobotomies.
Hodge is the one who financed all fluoride studies,
which universally proved how dangerous it is, but
he only showed them to corporate lawyers, not to
victims and families and their lawyers, who were
always told no studies had ever been done. The
tip of the iceberg became visible as Dupont
removed Scotchguard stain resistant coating from
the market, but perlfluorates(such as MTBE fuel
additive) are making toxic metal water-soluble,
polluting our groundwater.
Fluoride is stupifying, CIA agent Hodge's studies
all showed.

And there is also
the research into epilepsy causing super-intelligence.
And the fact that it also causes more 'criminal'

convicts can be treated by neurologists who do
whatever they want. (Neuroscience is one of my big
study hobbies)
For epilepsy info, guess who on the list is the

geniuses. Newton also had this. Alfred Nobel, Pascal,
Socrates, Aristotle, Freud, de Quincy (read the last
2's books about their epileptic dreaming, bases of
whole sciences- and Freud's favorite epilepsy drug was
cocaine, which unfortunately makes it worse in the
long run.)
so... to the point.
Any idiot with experience handling drugs, or money to
pay someone who has it, would never try to do this
with coke. It wouldn't work- it would have to be done
with heroin, which people who are addicts will always
buy, not caringh how many people died yesterday from
it... they'll still want it.
But more important: contaminated cocaine is easy to
recognize just by looking at it, and if its old, it
can be recognized from the smell. It breaks down fast.
Ozzy Osbourne wrote the song 'Snowblind' to describe
how pure coke looks- like snow which has just fallen.
And the smell is that of benzoic acid, a part of the
preservative it needs because it breaks down so fast.
I suppose the US gov idiots used coke because they
know no arab would swallow the lie of Osama using
