eplacements and charging you—in some cases double—for what you had been given as a service without
extra charge. They complain about robbers??
This to me looks like the bankers are the robbers, and pretty slick ones at that, since it is legal.
THE $16-BILLION-PER-YEAR
DRUG WAR—AND RISING
From THE WASHINGTON POST NATIONAL WEEKLY, 7/2/97, [quoting:]
“The drug war is the number one growth industry in federal funding, but we’ve spent most of the money on
a policy that basically doesn’t work,” [all emphasis mine in this article] says Mathea Falco, former
assistant secretary of State for international narcotics matters in the Carter administration and now president
of Drug Strategies.

The old joke around the DEA went like this: What happens when you place three police dogs in a room
with a gun and drugs? The DEA-trained dog comes out with the drugs, the dog trained by the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) comes out with the gun, and the FBI-trained dog holds a press
conference to announce, “The FBI has seized a gun and a kilo of drugs.”
The DEA’s critics argued that it was narrowly focused on short-term results, piling up impressive arrest
and seizure numbers while making little dent in the big-time-criminal organizations behind the trade. “It
was all buy and bust with the DEA,” says Daniel F. Rinzel, former chief Republican counsel. “They lacked
long-term strategic planning and intelligence. And there was a huge amount of wasted energy and internecine
warfare.”
Jim Moody moved from combating organized crime to helping oversee the FBI’s narcotics work in the
mid-1980s. He found the contrast dramatic. “I came from a very disciplined, targeted thing and here’s
everybody running all over the countryside seizing drugs,” he says. “As an investigator it’s a lot of fun. You
get immediate gratification. But in the overall scheme of things you’re not accomplishing very much.”
FBI leaders contended that their focus was on destroying underlying structures of drug enterprises rather
than merely arresting members and seizing drugs. But DEA agents complained that the bureau was deliberately
tracking over the same drug intelligence, informants and cases. Senate investigators accused both
agencies of letting their rivalry interfere with gathering long-term, strategic drug intelligence... [End quoting]
The drug war is the number one growth industry because the Elite are pulling a very big scam by telling you
they are fighting the drug dealers when in reality they are having you pay them to fight off their competitors
and tightening their monoply on the drug trade. Competitors always try to arise when there are
billions and billions of dollars to be made.
