Obama grows the drug war, with enforcement a clear priority

According to 2011 funding "highlights" released by the ONDCP (PDF link), the Obama administration is growing the drug war and tilting its funds heavily toward law enforcement over treatment.

The president's National Drug Control Budget also continues the Bush administration's public relations tactic of obscuring the costs of prosecuting and imprisoning drug offenders. "Enron style accounting," is how drug policy reform advocate Kevin Zeese described it, writing for Alternet in 2002.

The UN’s dangerous plan for global taxation

George Russell of Fox News has a very important report on a United Nations World Health Organization (WHO) plan “to ask governments to impose a global consumer tax on such things as Internet activity or everyday financial transactions like paying bills online.” As Russell writes:

Such a scheme could raise “tens of billions of dollars” on behalf of the United Nations’ public health arm from a broad base of consumers, which would then be used to transfer drug-making research, development and manufacturing capabilities, among other things, to the developing world.

The multibillion-dollar “indirect consumer tax” is only one of a “suite of proposals” for financing the rapid transformation of the global medical industry that will go before WHO’s 34-member supervisory Executive Board at its biannual meeting in Geneva.

Comment: Honestly, this is absurd. The modern American education system was put into place to make us good customers, employees and subservient to an authority figure. This is where the "just trust me, I'm with [insert authority figure" begins in most lives.

Our Challenge

In the past the subjects of Europe were subjected to centuries of devastating monarchies that oppressed, robbed, murdered, tortured, persecuted their subjects in desperate attempts to maintain and increase power. As the citizens became more aware of the brutal nature of these regimes, monarchs marched out minions to play on the subjects beliefs and emotions - typically religious affiliations. History views these men as comprising the Royal priest classes - men that would claim that the King's tyrannical actions were sanctioned by the Divine.

Fast forward centuries later where Monarchies are not accepted in the Western World. America helped achieve that, but shortly it fell to another type of dictatorship - the Scientific Dictatorship. The Monarchy replaced by large, centralized federal governments with a chorus of academics to support its oppressive actions. This is the neo-priest class, the experts sanctioned by the State and touted by the State. Every time the State became more bloodthirsty or more invasive there was an army of good government yes-men there advocating the States barbaric policies and even saying science was on their side. And oh, the citizens are too "stupid" and not "educated" to understand these complex issues.

Well this blog is about undoing that. This is a blog for truth and understanding, to say a firm NO to constant appeals to authority as the only metric for valid information. I say it is up to individuals to choose for themselves, to weigh the information, arguments and come to their own decision without the noise from the mainstream political class, scientific/academic class and spokesmen in the form of the Mainstream Media.
