and i know that the ingredients are kept mighty secret
i wondered, if they took the cocain out of coca plants and thew it
away, destroyed it whatever that's good
but then i think, hello, if their secret ingredients are still
extracts from the two plants that make up its name
and if, well, gee, a billion can's of coke get drunk every day (just a
wild guess there)
then, well, golly, one would have to grow an huge amount of coca
leaves to supply even the small bit of taste that makes up cocacola
and then if someone is growing a huge supply of coca leaves somewhere
(south america?)
then others growing a few plants for the cocain industry would be
kinda tiny in comparison
and of course because cocacla is about as american as you can get,
who'd expect the good old USA to squash such an american icon
and then of course i read IBM and the Holocaust and discovered just
how much could be covered up for so long - as long as a very powerful
US company was involved
and then i remembered that "new coke" came out and i began to wonder
if that was some attempt to get out of the difficult position of being
involved in growing coca plants
and then i remembered the american public said "no! give us our real
cocacola"
and then i though no muzza, this is as silly a conspiricy theory as
any could possibly imagine
and then i thought, gee, if it was true then maybe i wont live out
this day (after this post)
and then i thought, bugga, my life seems like shit sometimes so dying
in a vat of cocacola syrup is about as good as any way to go there is
(me being such a big contributor to the mighty coke empire)
and then i though again, now muzza, you are suffering from a lot of
strain lately and there is just no way on earth that that icon of
justice and righteousness, the good old USA, would ever be involved in
such a hugely awesome conspiricy and you'd better ask someone who
knows way beter than you
so here it is - please folks tell me i'm wrong and it was all a bad
dream or a great oportunity for a book
and please mr cocacola please don't kill me for just asking a silly
question
any way i better go hide now (no get back, don't kill me no NO
NOOOOOOOO.

gee thanks
that's a bit of a comfort
but i really would like a little more than that
for instance how am i wrong - eg all flavour is now synthesised
and i'd like a bit more than some unknown person just saying i'm wrong
like who are you to say i am wrong - eg an ex chemist from coca cola
(though that might no be much of a garantee)
so far i've got nothing from anyone other than a ref to a book i'm
having trouble getting a copy of (i've given up on amazon - i've had 5
books on order with them for 3 months and they still have not turned
up)
thanks for the start though oh yee of few words

this is why there is so much cocain and why the cocain industry can
not be controlled/stopped
this gives a reason for much of american foreign policy in the central
and south amaerican region
so now i start to wonder can i ever go home because right now there
are probably US agents looking to gun me down so i wont continue to
uncover this terrible thing
you think this is a big joke?
i don't - i am now definitely conserned for my life
coca cola -> cocain industry -> US foreign policy -> big power in
highest circles of US government
so, right now i have to assume that these posts have been read by the
US agents involved with protecting the US from this getting out
and right now i expect coca-cola top people are also aware of these
posts
so guys - here we are and what are we going to do - how about paying
me off instead of killing me? please?
i'll keep totally quiet for just a few hundred thousand because that
would take care of most of my debts
come on cocacola and the USA - how about dealing with this and me in
some honourable way before one of your young impetuous agents tries to
knock me off

the issue is the scale - think about it - half an ounce dry leaves did
you say? per gallon?
that's a gigantic amount of coca leaves someone is growing
just think through the numbers of gallons drunk daily
who grows these plants and where - precidely where and precisely where
are the sources of cocain?
how do they relate?
what are the US foreign policies for the countries where this is
happening - how do these policies take into account what i am saying?
why is it so difficult to deal with cocain supply - why is there so
much cocain?
how do anti-drug policies and activities interact with the policies
relating to the coca cola supply?
don't you see that there's some big questions here - how come it's
just me who asks these questions? where are the others?
isn't all this so very obvious yet how come it's not a 60 minutes
show?
who is hiding what and why?
seems to me that the coca cola company is pretty much reponsible for
the state of the cocain industry - maybe not directly of course but
there is no way you can grow coca for one industry along side coca for
an illegal industry and expect that the two can be maintained
independently without some higher level management
ie the US is involved in the higher level management of both
industries
and the drug cartels are only a risk when they threaten to expose this
- which they would not be likely to do because it would impact on
their nice and SAFE drug industry
see - the cocain industry is very safe - otherwise coca cola gets
implicated and coca cola the drink has to be taken off the market -
which can never happen because it is an american icon
and then would come the documentaries about coca cola people and
government people all involved - all keeping this secret
who are these people?

which one of us comes across as stupid? (don't answer that i
volonteer)
you don't get the point maybe - i know that there is no coke in coca
cola - that's not the issue - the issue is that if the plant is still
used for flavouring and taking into account the massive volume of
consumption of the drink then a HUGE amount of coca is being grown for
the coca cola industry
if so much is being grown then how does it compare to the coca being
grown for the cocain industry?
i'd say if you were raising chickens and you had 50 million chickens
and in the midst of those 50 million chickens were a few chickens that
we really don't want then you'd have a prtty big job trying to cull
them out now wouldn't you?

duh
go read "IBM and the Holocaust" - get an idea of how bad a US company
can be and how well it's secrets can be protected by its power and the
power of the US
yes coca cola people at the top are probably quite aware of this - and
so are top US officials
that's just the point - it's a difficult conundrum for them
think back to some of the big news stories about columbia - think them
through and add what i am saying to the mix - the stories take on a
whole new meaning
think about it - don't just leap and make simple anyone can think that

don't be ridiculous - many people are suffering from the effects of
cocain abuse
if that is a consequence direct or indirect of people drinking coca
cola and if people are profiting from it then it is very important
we are a pretty sorry bunch us humans - we really don't care about
anyone except ourselves most of the time - so yes - it does not effect
you - that's real nice - i'm really happy for you

> stop production, then my Coke wouldn't taste the same.
yup
that's the problem - we drink coke because we like the taste - my JD's
would not be the same without coke
we the consumers are the ones who forced the coca cola company to
abandon its attempt to get itself out of this dilemma
but that was a long time ago
now it is just a management problem
except that many lives are lost andmuch public money is spent
pretending to try and control the cocain industry - which in the light
of what i believe must be virtually impossible
that's the whole point

it's a little difficult to get until you do the mind experiment or

come up with yourself or through available resources maybe
you mean that the distinction (or clouding/hiding) has been
legitimised by the experts?
i am not stupid - i have a very good degree in science and many years
work in very tough areas of many industries - my mum said i had a high
IQ when i was a kid (too much JD's and coke has well and trully
reduced that i am sure :-)
you miss the point entirely when you keep trying to relate cocacola
and cocain so directly - the link is less direct - maybe do it as a
mind experiment on a table emptying a few hundred boxes of matches -
once the table is covered (coca for cocacola) then empty a single box
of matches onto the pile - now take those matches and only those
matches back

yes i insist - i am already very logical - i have many years of being

nope, i don't propose anything - that's not my goal - my goal is
simply to raise awareness of something that i have stumbled on - what
others do with it then is a case for "all of us" - democratic like
but if i had a child hooked on crack you can bet how i would vote - if
i could have it explained to me well enough so i u8nderstood it
personally i do not actually agree with anti drug laws as they are
exercised
Coca is not the

well no, the "problem" i am dealing with is that the US Federal
Government is in a battele against cocain right - it's a big thing -
lots and lots of money and lots and lots of "taking a stance" - but if
they, at the same time, are completely aware (at least at some level -
very high up) that the battle against cocain is impossible given the
fact that so much coca is grown for the mighty US company coca-cola
(yes yes, sans cocain but that is really quite irrelivant)
as an aside i bet there are coca-cola genetic engineers feverishly
working away to try and produce a coca plant that does not even look
the same or produce any coca at all - maybe

the great american excuse - that would have been the excuse to while

go find a family who has lost a child to cocain and tell them your
opinion about the value of coca based products

you are very generous arn't you
yes it is their problem but it is your problem if the government you
effectively enable to be in power is complicit in the supply of cocain
to children and others who do not have the defences gainst it
you have obviously had very little to do with drug effected people, or
maybe even just poor people - do you have many black or hispanic
friends - real friends? Know many "white trash"

i was not hooked on JD's as a child, and I don't consume as much as an
alcholic does
and beside the point - we are not dealing with finding excuses for the
way things are - we are trying to understand the way things are
you seem to just want to take a stance and defend something - fine -
then be my ally but first convince yourself using logic and some
research that i am right - then you can stand against the whole world
as i am doing right now - it's pretty cool to stand behind such a
thing watching people trying to take it apart
i have nothing to loose but probably my life at the hands of who (US?
Cartels?) - don't laugh at that - if i am right and i keep this up
then things will start happening in high places maybe and i will have

i'm not suggesting it

conspiricy involving the USA and coca-cola and possibly colombian drug

cocain

well, this is probably not a real hot shot newsgroup - i'm waiting to
see what sort of results come to light here before starting on a group
that has intellectual nasties on it - the sort who can bombard such a

and that people don't understand my argument might be how come it has
been so easy to keep the lid on this thing
now if i came out and said something like this
"the coke taken from coca plants used for cocacola is simply packaged
sand sold to the coke addicts in the states"
you'd understand it

bit of imagination to understand what i am saying - which is a bit sad
