More interesting music. Can't really attribute this one to anyone.

Keyser Soze?

Good find.

It's really time they correct their terminology. It's not a war on dangerous drugs, it's a war on PERSONAL FREEDOM. If the real public enemy number one, dangerous drugs, was the target they would be kicking in Pharma's door not your neighborhood pot grower. The endless prescriptions of improperly mixed, understudied, needless legal drugs has killed more people than marijuana ever has. Oh yea, marijuana has never killed ANYONE.

in contrast to no-knock raids carried out by SWAT teams.

Found this in the comments of the vid, breaks down the raids by state and gives descriptions of the incidents. I've never seen it before, pretty interesting stuff.

Botched Paramilitary Police Raids

Certainly we would all agree that the threat of Border Patrol hats outweighs any potential for harm.

It's sort of sad. Nixon said he increased Drug War funding seven fold to $600 Million.

In 2010 the US Federal government spent $15 Billion. State and local governments kicked in another $25 Billion.

Results?

that's still only $500 bucks or so in the money of Nixon's day, what with the inflation we're adding on constantly...gotta pay the janitors with somethin'
