Ham-handed social engineering They want to prevent students from buying 'drugs' with federal money.

BCG, this is a lot more than that. It is the logical conclusion of a process that began with urine testing in the 80's. Because the antis really meant it when they said they wanted a 'DrugFree Society'.

What you see happening is an interesting twist; those nations governed by a supposed Conservative majority are actually controlled by a tightly organized Conservative minority with the blessings of the corporations they see as role models. Okay, I can hear someone say, nothing new there. But the original definition of a conservative was a person who conserved individual rights and liberties from encroachment by a social-engineering liberal minority using the power of the State to acomplish it's goals.

Now it is the so-called Conservatives who have taken upon themselves the machinery of social engineering and are using the power of the State to further *their* goals. Doing exactly what they accused Liberals of doing for so long. They know the last holdouts are the campuses, where you are still (after a fashion) allowed to think rather than to react. They want to try to ensure that only those they think of as ideologically pure will matriculate. This is one way of doing it.

Social engineers...Left and Right One of the things the electronic mouthpieces of the Rabid Radio Right often blather and shriek about (until you'd think they'd die on-the-air of apoplexy) is 'social engineering'. "Women in the military". "Civil Rights". Such matters as these. They fuliminate, they gibber, and it's a good thing you aren't in the studio with them, because you'd be soaking wet from all the flying spittle. Yes sir, they hate the idea of 'social engineering'...unless it's their precious War on (Some) Drugs. Then, it's all hunkey-dorey with them.

'Angela Flood, a spokesperson for Rep. Mark Souder, R-Ind., who sponsored the legislation, said the provision will help ensure a healthier learning environment. "[Financial aid] is a privilege, not a right," she said'

Yes, only the pure of chromosomes shall pass through the groves of academia. Free from the taint of thinking for themsalves and doubting what they've been taught (like the lies told to them by the DARE officer). Safe from the temptation of chemically-catalyzed thought processes (which are responsible for such advances as modern electronics, computers, and the DNA tests that cops love to use so much) which might cause them to wander from the True Faith of the Church of The Right and the Gospel of Saint Nancy. Yes, like fresh modelling clay, they shall be moulded into razor sharp middle managers for the coming Global Plantation which will be the ultimate result of Globalization. Sing the corporate anthem with pride! Hallelujah!

These goofs almost never realize the depths of their own hypocrisy, and certainly never are able to put two and two together. No matter how screamingly obvious it is, they will never admit that, they, too, are dabbling in the very same 'black arts' that they accuse the Left of engaging in. Social engineering of any sort is the precursor to tyranny; just ask any Jew who survived Hitler's Germany and he'll tell you: it started in schools, first. Demanding unity of thought and action, and if you didn't fit in... well, we all know what happened to the 'misfits'.

"Social Engineering," eh? And just who decides you'll be...'retooled'?

In an American city, at a local bar, a patron was drinking an alcoholic beverage.

He unholstered his 9mm handgun, placed it to his head and pulled the trigger.

Patrons left the bar without the coats and jackets that got splattered with blood.

The suicide victim was also a DEA agent.

Another victim of the drug war?

Tired of a job that ruined lives?

There is corruption in anything, and everything about the US Government is corrupt.

The drug war is hopeless. There is nothing Mr. Ashcroft or anyone else can do to change it.

End it.

"In an era in which we know more than ever before about the ravages of drug abuse, surrender is not -- and cannot be -- an option," Ashcroft said at a news conference. "At a time when we see clearly the evil interdependence between the terrorists that kill American lives and the illegal drugs that steal American potential, surrender to either of these threats is surrender to both."

Good to see he's against drugs and alcohol - maybe that's why his son was only a cocaine addict for 20 years, and is now only an alcoholic that drinks till he passes out (pretzel?)

People would be drunk all of the time or on some kind of substance.

The need for genetically modified humans programmed to work their 'occupation' day in and day out with no need to question their 'lot' would be a perfect solution. Propaganda would be obsolete. Trained pidgeons picking the colors.

Hooray for social engineering. The brain would become a vestigial organ.

Eureka, utopia.

Going home would become a thing of the past, sleeping on a cot next to your work spot would suffice.

Simplistically put: There is a strong chance that the Earth is on the brink of one of the worst catastrophes of natural history, and it may be within the power of human kind to prevent, or at least limit, the severity of this occurrence. The social group most active and committed to this endeavor is the hippies. Unfortunately, this group is chained down by the fact that most of its members can, perfectly legally, be imprisoned and/or have their property stolen at anytime, without a trial.

This idea that employees are responsible to their employers in their private lives is both ridiculous and highly dangerous.

This was how Marxism worked. The USSR was based on the welfare of the workers, right?

No, it was based on control of the workers. The USSR system controlled workers completely.

Their private behavior was linked to their job and their political standing with the Communist Party and hence with the government.

That is how to have a society that is not free -- build strong inescapable unbreakable links between private life, employment and government.

That's how Lenin and Stalin envisioned their blueprint for a Communist future, and that is how Republican and Democrat drug warriors in America see the future of this country as well.

The Navy tested mescaline as part of its 1947-53 Project CHATTER. MK-ULTRA was first organized in 1949 by Richard Helms under the direction of Allen Dulles as Project BLUEBIRD. Two years later, it was renamed ARTICHOKE (after one of Dulles?s favorite foods) then termed MK-ULTRA in 1953, finally becoming MK-SEARCH in 1965 until the program's "official termination" eight years later. MK-ULTRA was directly responsible for the wide underground availability of LSD, phencyclidine (PCP - also called "angel dust"), dimethyltryptamine (DMT), 2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine (STP) and other powerful synthetic psychoactive drugs in the 1960s. In the early 1950s, the CIA and the Army had contacted Sandoz requesting several kilograms of LSD for use in the test program.

Dr. Hofmann and Sandoz refused this request, so Director Dulles persuaded the Indianapolis-based pharmaceutical luminary Eli Lilly (later the pioneers of and chief cheerleaders for the widely prescribed antidepressant Prozac) to synthesize the drug contrary to existing international patent accords--making the US government and Lilly the first illegal domestic manufacturers and distributors of LSD.

The War on Drugs: An "Intellectual Fraud"

Before the Vietnam "War", the Golden Triangle was run by French Intelligence and Corsican mobsters. After the French bailed out and America moved in, the triangle was run by U.S. intelligence, with aid from Sicilian mobsters. This narcotics network is well documented in "The Politics of Heroin in S. E. Asia" by Alfred McCoy, "The Great Heroin Coup" by Henrik Kruger and "Double-Cross" by Sam and Chuck Giancana.

Vice-President George Bush, as Chairman of President Reagan's cabinet-level working group and as Director of the National Narcotics Interdiction System, was the highest U. S. governmental official involved in the "war on drugs". Frances Mullen, Jr., former head of the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), called Bush's efforts "an intellectual fraud" and "a liability rather than an asset". Soon after these statements, Mullen resigned and the resultant General Accounting Office (GAO) report was buried.

In July, 1985, the suppressed GAO paper reported that there were "no benefits from the National Narcotics Border Interdiction System, directed by George Bush. In fact, the overall effect was to encourage supply...."

Monika Jensen-Stevenson, a "60 Minutes" producer, quit her job after the CBS news program refused to air the story she had uncovered relating to the covert drug trade. Her book, "Kiss The Boys Goodbye", details how our intelligence community used the apparatus of the POW/MIA governmental agencies as a cover for the trafficking of opiates from the "Golden Triangle".

President Reagan appointed Reform Party founder and Texas billionaire Ross Perot to the President's Advisory Council on Foreign Intelligence. Reagan made Perot a special presidential investigator, looking into America's POW and MIAs from the Vietnam "War".

Ross took the job to heart and spent considerable time and money in pursuit of the quest. He was given special clearance and access. He asked questions and interviewed everyone he could find.

From "Kiss The Boys Goodbye":

"Relations between Bush and Perot had gone downhill ever since the Vice-President had asked Ross Perot how his POW/MIA investigations were going.

'Well, George, I go in looking for prisoners,' said Perot, 'but I spend all my time discovering the government has been moving drugs around the world and is involved in illegal arms deals.... I can't get at the prisoners because of the corruption among our own people.'

"This ended Perot's official access to the highly classified files as a one-man presidential investigator. 'I have been instructed to cease and desist,' he had informed the families of missing men early in 1987."

The wholesale importation of cocaine into the U.S. during "Iran/Contra" is also well documented. George Bush, is known "to be in the loop" with many of the players keeping in contact directly with his office.

Also, there has been much speculation as to the use of the off-shore rigs, pipelines and other assets of Zapata Offshore being used for narcotic trans-shipments.

Narcotics such as cocaine and heroin cannot be manufactured without the precursor chemicals. One of the largest makers of these precursor chemicals is the Eli Lilly Company of Indianapolis, Indiana. The Quayle family is a large stockholder, and George Bush has been on the Board of Directors. Eli Lilly is also the company that first synthesized LSD for the CIA.

...projectiles belched from the enemy's AA batteries as soon as Bush and his squadron mates were over the island. Tiny black puffs of smoke thickened around his plane as he approached the target and dove steeply -- so steeply that Bush felt like he was standing on his head. But before he reached the radio facility the plane was hit.

Ltjg. Bush, who felt the plane "lift" from the hit, continued his dive toward the target and dropped his payload. The four 500-pound bombs exploded, causing damaging hits. For his courage and disregard for his own safety in pressing home his attack, he was later awarded a Distinguished Flying Cross.

Bush maneuvered the Avenger over the ocean with the hope it would make the journey back to San Jacinto. But the plane began to blaze and clouds of smoke soon enveloped the cockpit. Choking and gasping for air, Bush and one of his aircrewmen wriggled out of the plane and leaped from about 1,500 feet. His other crewman, dead or seriously injured from the blast, went down with the Avenger.

Bush parachuted safely into the water, dangerously close to the shore. Unfortunately, the aircrewman fell helplessly to his death because his parachute failed to open properly.

No one ever knew which one bailed out with Mr. Bush," said Nadeau, now a building contractor in Ramona, Calif. "I would assume it was Delaney, because as the radioman, he would go out first to leave room for the gunner to climb down out of the turret and put his chute on.

"There wasn't room in the turret for the gunner to wear a parachute. As a gunner, my parachute hung on the bulkhead of the plane near Delaney. We set up an escape procedure where he was supposed to hand me my chute and jump, and then I was to follow him. The procedure took a couple of seconds."

(At the time, I was also managing a parachute center near Key West, and was temporarily mortified when one of the callers suggested that I was implying he did not have to jump - I was merely referring to the phrase I hear most from those who do not jump: "Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane?" I think the resulting conversations made it clear enough I meant only the best wishes...)

Recalling that experience, it occurs to me that I was also very busy doing freefall videos that people from around the world have recognized as very high quality, professional work.

While those against some drugs are busily claiming pot causes amotivational syndrome, they also feel obliged to make sure that any of us that are motivated are not allowed to work.

Michael: Who has this drunken guy aimed a gun at that he shouldn't have?

Bill: Yeah, President Bush has not been drinking for years.

[ Laughter ]

I object to all this drinking, drinking, drinking stuff.

Alexandra: Obviously, you weren't at the White House Christmas party this year, my friend.

[ Light laughter ]

Bill: You're right.
