The Sacklers are evil greedy demons… not to be compared to a great man like Hitler.

Our government joined the war on drugs, on the side of drugs

The oxycontin epidemic was a planned and organized genocide, deliberately targeted at White Heritage Americans, by jews, waged as a front in the Great Replacement, killing off the Whites as their replacements were imported. And they pretty much got away with it. By my estimation, there would be roughly 2 million more Whites living in AINO today were it not for this monstrous crime (counting not just the direct victims, but also the children they would have otherwise had, and the children their children would have had). This has electoral consequences (which were intentional), although it seems to have failed in the goal of turning Ohio blue. No doubt it helped with Pennsylvania and other places. Virginia, Michigan. Somehow Obama won Indiana in 2008 by about 30,000 votes.Everything about it, down to the small tactical details, was planned and orchestrated from on high. It was not some “natural” or “emergent” outgrowth of something you might expect from “managerialism” or “the blob.”

Being a Cincinnatian, I actually had the chance to meet probably the most pivotal character in the cocaine traffic. “Freeway” Ricky Ross was the main conduit between the CIA and the streets when Ollie North was trying to raise money for the Contras. Ross was very shrewd and made more than two billion dollars in today’s dollars while living in California. What was he doing in Cincy? He was obsessed with tennis from a very young age and had moved here for the ATP Masters tournament. He was a skinny guy and spoke in a gentle voice and you would have never guessed who he was or what he did. He looked a bit like Bobby McFadden, the guy who got famous singing “Don’t Worry, Be Happy.”No one believed him when he got busted and said he was trafficking for the CIA. North was considered a golden boy back then—this was before he got caught extorting Wayne LaPierre of the NRA. One journalist—at a second string paper—actually investigated all this. He wrote a book called “Dark Alliance,” before supposedly committing suicide by shooting himself multiple times in the head (he must have had a very hard head.) His name was Gary Webb and they made a fictionalized movie about his story, “Kill the Messenger,” that I’ve been meaning to see.I’m tempted to say Reagan’s legacy needs to be reevaluated (amnesty to three million illegals was the crack they needed to drive the wedge) but it would only lead to more gushing about how great he was from the usual suspects. I liked him when I was a child in the 80s, mostly because his name, through loose association, reminded me of Ronald McDonald.

You see this on the issue of homelessness. It seems they want better houses homeless with cleaner needles. They don’t want to actually solve the problem.

The last point Z is talking about also speaks to the homeless issue. There is a massive industry built around “helping” homeless people, especially in cities like NYC and LA, except the homeless problem gets worse every year. And if you look at what the homeless “advocates” talk about, it’s basically about letting them do whatever they want and indulging their every vice. Hence we go from “hey let’s build a shelter so homeless people don’t have to sleep in the cold” to “that bum has the right to set up a tent in your front yard and pleasure himself when your daughter is waiting for the school bus”.Not coincidentally the homeless industrial complex is also intertwined with drug abuse, and the managerialism has taken over there too, where we now have “safe injection sites” where rather than “connecting addicts with services” like they claim, they are teaching them how to maximize their high and stuff like that, keeping them locked in. As mentioned, it is by design.

Irecall reading a fiction book that had a guy deliberately poison a large drug supply, and the users – including celebs, politicians’ kids, etc. – began dropping like flies. I’m fine with that. History offers minimal encouragement on means to get weak and/or despairing people to desist from using substances deleterious to their health. I don’t know that I regard illegal drugs as much different than all the ‘legal’ prescription ‘antidepressants’ people take. Life can suck – and you just have to deal with it. Those who can’t cope opt for drugs, alcohol, grift, violence, cheating, etc. No, I don’t like people very much.

Im my libertarian days I remember Jeffery Tucker saying, the drug war is not a war against drugs but a war against the populace.

One of the most insidious policies of the drug war is forcing drug arrest quotas on law enforcement agencies which is how you end up with police acting as drug traffickers & also going around planting drugs.It also shows that the government never really had any plans on actually eradicating drugs from society, it was just another money making scheme with the populace getting shafted from every angle.It was a happy coincidence that they also turned every single aspect of the country into a hellscape of hopeless despair which primed the population for escapism. That was the lynchpin that made it all possible in my opinion.In my lifetime I’ve watched people who occasionally engaged in vice as a social lubricant steadily become totally lost & dependent on it to make it through the daily grind. When there’s no light at the end of the tunnel & nothing to live for tomorrow its not only easy but almost logical to get wrapped up in a addiction cycle.A lot of people think there’d be a revolution if drugs were removed from society but I’m absolutely positive the only thing that would change is the suicide rate would spike even higher as a result.Its to the point where you can’t listen to the radio, go to a store, show up to a job or engage in any aspect of daily life without beingconstantlyassaulted by clown world. Its extremely oppressive & the end result reminds me of animals in captivity that die prematurely & won’t breed.The average person isn’t self aware of the psychological forces at play so when something that numbs the sensation is dangled in front of them there’s no hesitation & no obvious reason to not indulge. Given that it’s not surprising so many people are doing illicit drugs, antidepressants or engaging in hedonism.I read a while back that the mexican birthrate has flatlined & that the black suicide rate among the young is rising. Those two races are not environmentally sensitive, not anywhere near as much as Whites are anyway. They’re used to living in squalor but they’re now being affected which is a testament to how unnatural our society has become. Seems like if you can’t insulate your culture & your kids from society they’ll get ground down just like Whites were & that’s getting harder & harder to do.A century or so ago you could get many of the same drugs floating around today right off the shelves of stores yet there was no drug epidemic. Same thing applies to guns & mass shootings. There’s definitely a dysgenic element to this but that’s also downstream from a culture that deliberately breeds such people.

One thing I’ve learned in the past few years: American blacks are wiser than the racist right gives them credit for. They’ve been yapping about government drugs in the ghetto for decades; they don’t pay taxes or deal with banks, they act like they’re never home and unreachable, they instinctively distrust media, they didn’t fall for the Covid vax, and they pretend to like Dems because of the gibsmedats. They are irreverent and recognize Game, take advantage if they can, and most importantly: they scare people. White people need to learn a thing or two about our AA countrymen.

You could write an encyclopedia and make movies about Mena Arkansas and Clintons. Oh right, that has already happened. Or Air America or Iran Contra. And Fauci makes Mengela look like a piker. I thought we were Whitepilling his week!

It is absolutely not true that you can sue the cops if they violate your rights. “Qualified Immunity” should really be called Unlimited Immunity.The SCOTUS invented QI, but they made a rule that you can only sue the cops if they violate your civil rights and are on notice of it through court cases. But you need a precedent in order for the QI to be overcome. So there are very few precedents and no new ones can be created. It’s a catch 22. You need a case to set the precedent, but cases can only get through if a precedent has already been set.There are some outrageous cases where QI was upheld despite EXTREME abuses of rights. The cops can literally beat you to the beat of the Macarena and there ain’t a goddamned thing you can do about it. The only people you can sue is the city. You cannot sue to the individual cops because they are not on notice that they cannot beat you to the beat of the Macarena.

Good discussion, but I don’t see American softies ever waging the kind of drug war that would work. So, what is best for long term mitigation of this unfixable problem?I’m not sure we have the right data to figure it all out. But we do know that political views are largely a product of biology, and so is one’s predilection for addiction. Do those correlate? If yes, in the long term what happens if we allow the Portland experiment to continue, on a mass scale? The place no doubt attracted a disproportionate number of addicts by legalizing so I can’t say how many normal natives suddenly became drug fiends. But I suspect not really very many. It pulled in outside addicts.It would be an ugly process but letting that part of the population destroy itself may be eugenic. Better to ban Narcan instead?I believe the best measure is well crafted anti-drug propaganda. Show what that poison really does, and rub people’s noses in it. A frying egg in a pan (your brain on drugs!) Is not scary. A mouth of horribly rotted teeth from meth would work a lot better. If they spent as much time demonizing drugs as they do demonizing Whites maybe we’d get somewhere.

There are people who can use alcohol and drugs without problems. What percentage are these versus those who cannot? Presumably, this is why Prohibition was repealed. Most people judged that they could enjoy alcohol without bad consequences. Cities like Portland demonstrate that when drugs are legalized an intolerable proportion of people cannot use them responsibly. Are the only choices banning or legalizing all drugs? If we ban them, there is some proportion who can use them without problems, yet the damage done by those who cannot is terrible.

Protection rackets work best when people are afraid. The biggest gains for the administrative state have been when people were fearful: the Great Depression, WWII, the Cold War, 9-11, and Covid all generated fear and a great leap in the reach of the administrative state. If Trump can return us to a relatively peaceful state by ending the new Cold War, the administrative state will take a big hit.

Purdue Pharma and the Sacklers were rightly condemned for their criminal behavior but they are far from alone. All the principal drug manufacturers have been found guilty of criminal behavior that killed thousands. They pay the fines and go on with business as usual. It’s a cost of doing business and nobody goes to jail. The Sacklers and Purdue paid a large fine but the Sacklers were alleged to have salted away $1 billion in Swiss banks ahead of the fines. A particularly egregious case was the Vioxx scandal. Marketed by Merck as a miracle anti-inflammatory drug, it was on the market for five years. Merck hid data that showed that the drug significantly increased the risk of heart attack and stroke. Eventually the feds investigated and concluded that the drug may have killed as many as 50,000 people. Merck eventually copped a plea, paid a settlement that was a small fraction of the profit they made on the drug and went on with business. Nobody went to jail. Ron Unz pointed out that during the five years Vioxx was on the market, there was demographic statistical anomaly in that there was an increase in deaths of 100,000 per year, mostly among the older population (the population targeted for Vioxx use). The anomaly disappeared when Vioxx was removed from the market. That is 500,000 dead people. Coincidence?

42:50This section of this week’s Z-Man podcast reminds me of the opening scene of the filmLayer Cake.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8MGBn3KawMXXXX: When I was born, the world was a far simpler place. It was all just cops and robbers. But it wasn’t for me.Then came the Summer of Love. Hashish and LSD arrived on the scene. There were villains locked away for twelve years for robbing a bank of ten grand, doing time with drippy hippies down six months for smuggling two million quid’s worth of puff. I mean work it out, mate. We’re in the wrong fucking game. Drugs. Changed. Everything.Always remember that one day all this drug monkey business will be legal. They won’t leave it to people like me. Not when they finally figure out how much money there is to be made. Not millions. Fucking BILLIONS. Recreational Drugs PLC: “Giving People What They Want.” Good times today, stupor tomorrow.But this is now. So while prohibition lasts, make hay while the sun shines. I’m not a gangster. I’m a businessman whose commodity happens to be cocaine. I mean ten years ago, a bit of charlie was for pop stars or a celebrity’s birthday bash. It was demonized byDaily Mailreaders getting drunk in naff wine bars. Now they’re my biggest clients.This is Clarkie. Double first at Cambridge in industrial chemistry. Only he’s got to pay off his student loans somehow. Today I only deal in kilos. And, depending on which tariff you use, will cost you 28 grand, or fifteen years in prison. Which is more time than a rapist’s [sentence].C’est la vie.It is vital that we work to a few golden rules: Always works in small teams. Keep a very low profile. Never deal with anyone who doesn’t come recommended. I mean it’s like selling anything: washing machines, hand-made rugs, blow jobs. As long as you don’t take the piss, people will always come back for more. And that’s not to say that we don’t weave that special kind of magic that turns two kilos into three, but never be too greedy.Know and respect your enemy! It is only very, very stupid people who think the law is stupid. And avoid like the plague, loud attention-seeking wannabe gangsters in it for the glory, to be a face, to be a name. They don’t mean to fuck up. They just do.Oh, and forgive me for stating the obvious, but stay away from the end user. They’re guaranteed to bring you trouble. As do guns. I hate guns. And violence. But, as some Roman general once said: “If you seek peace, prepare for war.” Morty, and his assistant Terry watch my back. Morty learned to be cautious the hard way. He did ten years inside. He’s my bridge to the criminal world. And he insures that the traffic is one way….

It was real in his mind:“WHEN RICK DOBLINwas in his early twenties, he had a dream in which he was escorted back in time to witness a Holocaust survivor’s narrow escape from the Nazis.In his mind, Doblin travelled to Eastern Europe to witness thousands of Jews lined up alongside a mass grave as the gunners open fire, toppling the bodies into the earth. The man spends three days alive underground before emerging and fleeing to the woods, where he survives the war in hiding.The man then tells Doblin that he survived this horror only to deliver a message that Doblin should devote his life to promoting psychedelics as a cure for human ills and an insurance policy against another Holocaust. Then he expires.Doblin took the advice to heart. For much of the next four decades, he waged an often frustrating battle to get public health authorities to recognize the value of psychedelics, the perception-shifting compounds popularised in the 1960s that have been a source of both fear and fascination ever since…”Jewish health advocate trying to turn psychedelic drugs into legal medicine – The Jewish Independent

Yeah drugs, man! (rubbing at eye with fist) There was this time in the Sixties when . . . uh, I think I forgot. Man.

I am all for police actions against drugs. People do respond to incentives, including expense and fear of jail time. Recreation drugs are all bad at all times for everyone.* Allowing them is a nod to modern despair and tendencies towards hedonism. However, the “war on drugs” modernly is grift. How it’s attacked properly is to throttle the supply, which involves securing the borders and throwing the book at drug dealers.I would argue that open borders and concerns about jailing blacks over “just” drug use has created a non-war on drugs. Thus the unsurprising explosion of use, particularly in poor whites.*But what about alcohol and cigarettes?? Neither are ideal. However, cigarettes get people through work and alcohol is special in human history. Further it’s possible to use alcohol in ways that are helpful, ie sterilization/improvement of water etc.

The cartels should thank us for the war on drugs.

You really need to learn a bit more about the history of drug use in the USA – start here:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrison_Narcotics_Tax_Act

On the decline of cocaine: It’s still out there, but you’re not wrong that it’s declined a lot in the young party crowd. I have some people on the periphery of my social circle still in the hard partying young crowd, and the drugs of choice are Ritalin and zyn (nicotine) patches. These are guys that have done both coke and Ritalin, and according to them, the Ritalin gives them 90% of what coke gives them, and you can get it with a prescription.

my cure for homeless plaque: set up facilities where the homeless can check in and get all the drugs they want, plus water. they can stay as long as they want, but can’t leave until they aren’t high any longer. well of course 98% of them will OD the first time they try it out.

Sounds interesting!

Man oh man. Yet another thoroughly effed-up innovation of the 20th Century.* You really are shooting for all the marbles here, Zman! *(and of course, like so much else, started up by our Usual Suspects, the means by which a gangster culture gained an enormous influence in the West, and then the world.)

Good show. The grifting must continue no matter the cost.

[…] weekly podcast. Highly […]

What’s up with this Elon character and his doubling down on that weird St. Christopher’s pose of his?It doesn’t seem protective, but rather creepy and out of place.Is Mr. Musk sending a message to the pedophile clique?Why don’t act instead?It would be as easy as to publish the names of those involved, sit back and let the populace do the justice.
