The War on Drugs is Just a Turf War: Feds Arm Cartels and Banks Reap the Profits

by Scott Creighton

“Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I’m liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That’s what’s insane about it.” John Lennon

Many people know that Wachovia Bank had to admit to laundering 378.4 billion dollars in drug money between 2004 and 2007 and that they paid a mere 160 million in fines to avoid prosecution. What they don’t know is that the money was from a drug cartel in Mexico that the DEA and the Justice department supported as part of a program called “Divide and Conquer” which was designed to weed all the other drug gangs out and leave the one cartel, our cartel, in place.

In short, our banks laundered the money while the government looked the other way or even helped the Sinaloa Cartel bring the drugs into Chicago (there’s that town again) while providing thousands of illegal weapons to the cartel under programs like “Fast and Furious” which they used to murder other drug lords, police, and everyday citizens (and more than a few journalists and politicians who dared to open their mouths).

Now to me, if it’s the US government providing the weapons, the logistics, the protection from prosecution, the lethal hits on the competition, and the resources to launder the cash, then it’s the US government who is actually the drug cartel with the Sinaloa’s providing nothing but cover.

I mean, after all, we are guarding the heroin fields in Afghanistan. Guess someone wants a monopoly on all the illicit drugs in the world just like they want a monopoly on the oil fields, healthcare, GMO corn,  and the central banks.

At a time when the defense is trying to claim their client is bat-shit crazy, the Denver Post comes out with a story about what James Holmes was like just a short year ago. When he applied to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign neuroscience program they wanted him so badly they waved tuition and fees and offered him a yearly paycheck of $22,660 just to attend their school. Out of 150 qualified applicants yearly they take between 5-15. James Holmes was one of those.

How does James get from point A to point B? How do we get from one of the brightest students in the nation, a guy who’s love of knowledge made him want to study the mind, a student so desired they would offer to pay him cash to attend, to a guy practically drooling on himself in a courtroom seemingly with no idea where he was?

This is a link to his application file at UI. You should read it.(H/T sunshinez)

Back in March of 2011, the University of Illinois had him come up and they interviewed him…
