AMERICA AIMS TO PROVE NARCOTICS = TERRORISM???

Plans have been made for a symposium creating the story of how narcotics equals terrorism. Such a symposium has grave effects for the people in societies who are citizens of countries that produce the plants that make the narcotics. The explanation that terrorist organizations are funded by narcotics trade is to loop two problems into one, especially when the definition of a terrorist is still vague. Anyone who is familiar with the current drug war in America, should understand that with the new laws written in for terrorism, this will cause massive injustice.

In other words, no one can be sure to what degree the law will assume that a person selling or buying a controlled substance (according to the law system) is a terrorist. With the current immigration policies along side the terrorist laws aimed at non-citizens, a person who will be portrayed as a "drug selling terrorist" will have a difficult time, to say the least. Such authority and understanding being placed in the heads of police, government officials, as well as a scared public, is a mix-up no one should want to be a part of.

This also brings into question, when the war on terrorism is mated with the war on drugs, will this give the U.S. Government and other nations the authority to literally "bomb them to the stone age?" Can the imagination begin to calculate how much money will be spent on these two war fronts combined? The problem of racial profiling, which some people had no problem with after Sept. 11, what will they do when they now could be profiled?

There is a history that many are not aware of in the United States of how narcotics have been linked to immigration policies. The History Channel has a series called the History of Narcotics, which brings out the point: when there is a push to restrain immigration, especially during a time when there is an "outside threat," a want arises to have a way to control "the foreign population." Though most of the narcotics that are now illegal in the U.S. were once over-the-counter products, the importation or distribution were linked to certain nationals and created "forced repatriations" and massive jailings.

This issue is very important because it will affect Black people as well as non-European people disproportionately. The false concepts and ideas that will be developed can only cause further dissension amongst mankind. The further destruction of sovereign nations by other sovereign nations because of their cultural background is a violation of the human rights charter which the world has tossed aside because of the fear created by their own imagination.
