Zero Hedge is reporting that "President-elect Donald Trump said Sunday he would aim to designate Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations and will launch an anti-drug advertising campaign inside the United States."
“We’re going to advertise how bad drugs are for you,” Trump said in Arizona at a Turning Point conference, referring to the ad campaign. “They ruin your look, they ruin your face, they ruin your skin, they ruin your teeth.”
The ad campaign may sound silly but given what they are doing now, it's a definite step forward. The inherit problem we now see is how harm reduction has become harm promotion.
They go around showing people how to safely use harmful drugs. That is insane. There is no safe way to use harmful drugs. Harmful drugs are harmful. Likewise there's no such thing as a safe supply of harmful drugs.
The article talked about Nancy Reagon's just say no campaign back in the /80's which everyone made fun of. However, compare that to the insanity we now hear them spew and even that would be a step forward. Prevention means being honest about the harmful effects of drugs.
I remember when I was young they used to have commercials on TV of an egg frying and the caption this is your brain on drugs. I ordered a copy of a pamphlet the government put out called Stay Real listing the harmful effects of pot.
Which is something we obviously do need to talk about because now kids claim pot is good for you. Pot cures cancer. No it does not. Smoking anything is bad for you. It's somewhat hypocritical to have all the huge warning on cigarette packages and claim harmful drugs aren't harmful.
Designating the Cartel a Terrorist Organization
As for the campaign to designate the cartel a terrorist organization, that too is somewhat hypocritical. If we designate the cartel a terrorist organization we have to also designate the CIA a terrorist organization which we clearly should. The CIA supply the cartel and brought ISIS back.
If we want to reduce the cartels drug trafficking we need to disband the CIA. That would save the world from harm.
Pretty sure Trump has plans for the CIA after what they did to him.
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope so but an evil tree cannot bright forth good fruit. If it's root are evil, the entire tree is evil. The CIA's roots are completely evil. It's good for nothing other than be cut down and cast into the fire or as JFK said, splinter the CIA in a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds.
