One uniform, flag or insignia against another.
In recent years, that distinction has faded away. Today, we are not allowed to distinguish between the bully and the brave. The word “war” is now a term used to describe the annihilation of an entire nation’s civilian population.
The idea that ICE agents in particular are “brave warriors” plainly demonstrates that our majesty is to wage war against our own population. No uniform other than skin color is needed to distinguish the enemy now. No ideal has sanctuary now. In fact, it is now viewed as treasonous to encourage people to obey the law.
Now, let’s take up our supposed “war on drugs.” Once you have a couple of billion dollars to spend, it’s easy as pie. All that is needed is to toss a couple of $70,000 missiles at a small fishing boat and viola! Danger is gone! We simply blow them away, and if any survive, it’s just “rinse and repeat.” It’s about time we decided to take action; we have slumbered so very long.
(Caution: per U.S. Communication Code, the following events did not make the news; therefore, they did not happen.)
As part of its drug marketeering, Purdue Pharma (an American enterprise) began to aggressively encourage doctors to use their highly addictive product for pain relief. By 2001, Perdue was selling more than $1 billion worth of Oxycontin a year.
In all, Purdue Pharma single handedly created an “Opioid Epidemic” and profited by $35 billion. They recruited an enormous troop of physicians into becoming corporate “candy men.” This goon squad contracted to write prescription after prescription to aid Perdue’s new born addicts. Working in tandem, they managed to create 2 million addicts: half of which promptly expired. “Narcan” soon came on the scene to retain customers a tad bit longer.
Finally, Uncle Sam was hit by a flash-bomb grenade — pushed off his couch and made to get his butt in gear.
As a result, Perdue faced its day in court, was coaxed to forfeit 1/6 of its ill-gotten gain and allowed 15 years to accomplish that. No claims of “narco terrorism” here: no jail time and no having their butts immediately blown up.
We all went back to sleep for a time, but now we’re back with a vengeance.
Currently, we are spending, at the very least, $18 million a day bombing the true narco terrorists: They can be easily identified: They hold the largest oil reserves in the world. So far we have killed 69 of these vermin.
The math of these bare facts tells us that, at the very least, it costs us over $13 million apiece for each and every lonely fisherman we set our sights on.
A bullet can cost anywhere from 5 cents to a couple of bucks: Where is DOGE when you need them? Maybe some enterprising sniper could do the job for less than $13 million per customer: especially when there is no red tape to complicate the matter.
