I dont see anyone here anymore who defends the war on drugs. I have seen
many reports on medical marijuana online, but hardly ever in the media.

Partly this is because the drugwar produces such sensationalism, which
builds media ratings. I've witnessed a few misrepresentations in the
news, and written the editors, but always been ignored. I've also had my
reports printed in the anti-vietnam war underground newspapers- and then
seen their offices searched for drugs by LEO, The State drug control, or
even the FBI. Who leave a terrible mess.

SO, no wonder newspaper offices dont report the truth. Its high time to
expose this, and the net is the only venue.

You just loved the publicity. It's over. Get over it.

Doesn't the news media only report on what frightens women and
children? How can they sell products unless they scare people?
Advertisers are probably in control of the content of wack off media
networks and they need to sell drugs from big pharma and the drug wars
dicks things up on that front so their aint none.

reasonable.

The history is obscure, but it was Carter that funded the CIA research
into spread spectrum, phased array, and computer waveform analysis that
led to the ability of Soviet jammers to stop the Voice of America.

The Soviets lost control of their own airspace. No tyranny can last
without control over the flow of information, and now their corporate
media control is no longer effective with the Internet. In "The Lives of
Others", a German film about the Stasi, we see some within the system
who see the control failing and are honorable enuf to try to do what
little they can to destroy that control. As is now the case in law
enforcement of the drugwar.

Nobody online tries to defend the drugwar anymore. I've suggested we
need to use civil damage lawsuits against dealers by the families of
drug users to control addiction. The law already gives families standing
to sue, but by the time they could do that, the criminal court has
already bankrupted the dealers so there's no money to sue for, so nobody
knows of a case where a family did so.

Of course to do so, would mean the money drug dealers now spend on their
lawyers would go to the addict's families. and that would reduce the
incomes of lawyers, so we cant have that.

I do, occasionally.

You're trying to explain WHAT YOU have (and haven't) SEEN based on
other-than-YOU factors?

Hahahahahahahahah!!

Not relevant. Anything that is sensational gets viewers. Drugs and
drug raids are low priority but if that's all they have that day then
they will feature it.

Literally, EVERY SINGLE DAY somewhere in America DEA is doing a
raid... And so are big-city SWAT.

So you CLAIM...

>SO, no wonder newspaper offices dont report the truth.

What truth? Almost nobody reads newspapers anymore and most of them
probably don't even have the staff to open (much less read) letters
from crackpots.

>Its high time to expose this, and the net is the only venue.

Are you begging for help or just hoping somebody will do it for you?

Well, there are plenty of people who don't think drugs should
be legalized, so maybe you haven't been looking very hard.

I said I dont see them here. There's plenty of stupid blindsided
neurotics who already think they know it all and dont do any research
also. But even those who post here have quit trying to defend the drugwar.
