    The world-wide regime of drug prohibition is a tool the US uses to fund covert operations without needing to go through its Congress.

    CIA needs more money? Just sell some drugs or roll some drug dealers over to take their money. The sex trafficking is similar, it’s a way to fund operations. It’s too troublesome to have to go through procedure every time they need to fund color revolution.

    Drugs-tobacco-alcohol, weird Christians, and human trafficking all have a long history in the USA. It is not suddenly. It has been a foundation of US hegemony.

    Puritans, slavery, tobacco, Prohibition, the war on drug users.

    It’s a weapon in class war. Creating massive crime problem is excellent way for dictatorships of bourgeoise to prevent people from organising and to plant agents, wreckers and so on. It’s also a way for secret services to gather huge amounts of dark money and have the criminal organisations do their dirty work.

    It’s of absolutely no coincidence that all the postsocialist countries exploded with previously basically nonexistent drug problem right after socialism was destroyed, and that PRC managed to neraly eradicate the century long massive opium epidemic in decade while USA wages their war “on” drugs (really war on workers) for ever and with zero systemic successes.

      Has the church been reported to the authorities? And what is the name of it (if it is safe for you to say)?

    Higher crime rates and lower standards of living suppresses wages which in turn makes it more attractive for US businesses to outsource labour to.
