yeah, but prohibition doesn't work......just sayin'- ...as we can plainly see.
Do know who is charge of the drug supply chain? It starts with C and ends in A - 3 letters.
The whole 'war on drugs' is merely a smoke screen to give the plebs baubles to shout about, and claim some moral high ground that has been created by the establishment.
The big players, meanwhile, get on with business, giving moral platitudes to fool the sheep,and continue destroying our society.
..........just sayin'
Great post, lots of truths here, but I have a small counterpoint.
The only way anything changes is through a massive tax revolt, but we all know that's not gonna happen as everyone wants to continue their comfortable, western lifestyle.
Everyone talks about how this or that should be done, but the harsh truth is that Americans and Europeans don't want to sacrifice their way of life for the great good.
Nothing will change till the money spigot to the warmongers is shut off.
But James, why would we care about Trump escalating the war in Afghanistan when he stared into an eclipse. I mean, you know he called out both sides of the Charlottesville fiasco, right? That's just outrageous, how dare he do something so disgusting as criticise people for their violence?
But seriously, could you please start uploading your videos to dtube and/or sharing them here so I can upvote them more as a thank you for all the free enlightenment you've given me over the last three or four years?
While I have to (begrudgingly) to agree with your take on the situation occurring over there, I (still) have a hope that trump is something different. -
You can call me a old, naive, still optimistic fool , no offense taken ;)
Still gotta hope something different is going on....
But ultimately, yes you are totally correct - government ARE the problem, and never the solution.
Here in Europe and Special the Balkan countries depend a lot on the political situation in USA.
There were a lot of speculation and talks concerning the new President of USA but after 4 months or so of Trump being elected as a President we still can not see any changes of the USA politics on Balkans and Europe?
So my question is America doing better or worse since Trump became a President?
the US is IN Afghanistan for the opium (big cash crop for nice covert CIA ops). It also keeps the industrial war complex happy.
The war is intended to just carry on. And lets not forget the VAST mineral reserves under afghan soil, (used in computer mfg, I believe). - keeps it out of Russians, and Chinese sphere of influence.

Excellent presentation of the situation!
I suppose Trump will try to sell this move as "the only option available", arguing that pulling out of Afghanistan would pave the way for the Taliban to regain power (which is probably true).
How is it possible that after 16 years the public doesn't get these simple truths about talibans and Bin Laden being nothing but CIA creations?
Checking out the link on "Foreign Policy" this caught my eye: "He stuck to his script" - yep, if he sticks to the script he's good!

The problem is not the poppies in Afghanistan. The problem is the system that creates the users. What creates users? Child abuse. Spanking, hitting, ritual punishment, verbal abuse. None of that teaches coping skills.
People use drugs because they lack coping skills. Yes there are 12-step programs and they are effective. But real change starts at the bottom with how we raise our kids.
To end the war on drugs without government intervention, we must learn to raise human beings.
Dr. Ross W. Greene wrote the book that completely changed my outlook on humanity, "Raising Human Beings". The principles outline in this book will show us how to teach kids the skills they need to get along, take care of themselves and their brothers and sisters.
I believe that when we cease the promotion of child abuse in all of its forms, we will raise human beings who are resistant to corruption, the temptation for abuse, and the need to control others. More to the point, with the skill of collaboration as taught in this book (and others like it), our kids can grow up into adult who will not need to self-medicated themselves with drugs, food, gambling, etc.
Real change starts at the bottom, with our kids. From there, we can remove the source of income for the drugs by drying up their supply of customers. Just by raising kids right.
I am skeptical about how much power the president actually has. If something were to happen to those poppies, like disease or pests, it seems like this problem would be solved. Unfortunately, the poppies look pretty healthy in the photos.
I Think the war has undergone for a very long time and it is a very high time to put an end to all this mess we have created. I am not a big fan of Trump but the least he could do is cleanse the world for its own good which the previous presidents have failed to do!!
It seems like common sense that a war on drugs in the streets of the US is bogus. Poppy plants aren't grown there. Coco plants aren't grown there. Guns aren't made there.
oh well the soil and weather in Afghanistan are so perfect for opium that even Trump agrees continuing the war is more profitable than investing in bitcoin

What a fantastic song, especially for this response.
Thanks
Except that James Corbett doesn't just pick up his guitar and play - a true warrior!
War on drugs is the most meaningful war at all times in human history. This makes sense to eliminate all the pest in society.

Appalling that the invasions in Afganistan began as early as 1838, according to a BBC report.
