The Drugging of America
August 23, 2018
IN THE VIDEO LECTURE below, national security analyst Joseph D. Douglas explains the thesis in his book Red Cocaine: The Drugging of America and the West. The book can be read in its entirety here. He contends that drug trafficking has been deliberately employed to demoralize Western society. From his prefatory warning to the 1999 edition:
This book has been known to generate strong emotional responses. Red Cocaine is a case study of evil: of the governments and people responsible for flooding the United States with drugs; of American public officials who have suppressed intelligence and looked the other way to favour ‘special interests’ and also to advance secret political agendas.
The information presented in Red Cocaine explains why the so-called war on drugs in the United States has been so ineffective. It challenges the erroneous belief that the drug problem is ‘home-grown’, the result of America’s otherwise unexplained ‘thirst’ for drugs. This erroneous belief, carefully nurtured by politicians and drug traffickers, stands between America and the waging of an effective war on drugs for a very simple reason: a nation simply cannot wage war on its own people. This belief that Americans themselves are the cause is used by public officials to justify their poor results – and doing nothing about the nefarious activities of governments, politicians, intelligence services and the banks. Red Cocaine was written to explode this belief, to expose the real forces behind the illegal drug trade, and to reveal the political protection that enables drug trafficking to survive and grow.

Red Cocaine changed the way I think about drugs in my country. While I read it, I found myself wondering what the DEA and the American goverment were doing during all this smuggling and undermining of the (especially young) people through drugs.
Compromised: Clinton, Bush & the CIA by Terry Reed & John Cummings (copyright 1994) is a great bookend and anecdote for Red Cocaine. More than ever, I know that the so-called War on Drugs as well as the current campaign against opioids is a lie and a distraction; if the powerful U.S. government wanted drugs not to be in our country, it could be done.

I have said the same thing many times: if the government wanted to get rid of drug trafficking (and I’m not talking about the petty dealers), it could.
State governments can make sure virtually every driver has a license and insurance –and they impose stiff penalties if someone is caught without registration. And yet they cannot get rid of drug trafficking cartels?
The federal government can make sure almost every adult American pays the right amount of taxes to the dollar. And it cannot get rid of the people making millions, if not billions, distributing dangerously addictive illegal drugs?
What a national disgrace. And Trump says we just need more rehab.
