Barbarian Overload

In a recent news story, the Mexican state has begun to impose a military style sweeping along its frontiers to combat "drug trafficking". The Mexican president, Felipe Calderan, has vowed to stop the carnage of drug related crimes. The U.S government is backing this endeavor fully and already 4 drug warlords have been extradited to the U.S. John Walters, White house anti-drug CZAR, stated,"Yes, there is some violence that is part of the process of taking these violent mafias to justice".


Wait..did I just hear CZAR Walters say they want to take violent mafias to to justice? Irony. The government runs on a model similar to the mafia. Extortion, threats, trafficking, all that good stuff.

You see this "drug war" is a tool for unhampered State power. It allows States to run military, authoritative directives on the people. They outlaw the use of drugs which allows the sleazy, ruthless, and malicious people to be involved in the drug trade and since their is no formal agreements or contracts they use violence and other acts to solve disputes. Think back to the 1930's when prohibition was the rule of law. So what happened? You had guys like Al Capone running a large style operation of prostitution and alcohol. When outlawing any sort of commodity it creates an artificial black market. Prices go up, quality goes down; it gives a few people, the people willing enough to take part in this black market, a monopoly.

Madness shall end but it must end with the onset of reason. The "drug war" is the antithesis to reason. For more on this lunacy go here, here, and here.
