The most sickening moment in recent mainstream media news – and that’s saying something

It was Network meets Hunger Games. One of the most unseemly media events in recent history. And no one seemed to mind. Or notice.

READ MORE: FBI investigates San Bernardino shooting as 'act of terrorism'

On Friday, December 4, 2015, to be exact, the world and I witnessed something on mainstream media that took the proverbial cake. It reduced me to an incomprehensible mass of confused and maundering mumbling. More so than usual. For I saw something that even the great Paddy Chayefsky could not have envisaged. A scene so surreal, so incomprehensibly savage in its rawness that I turned to my wife and announced, “It’s official. The end is indeed nigh.” What we witnessed was the culmination and conflation of every sci-fi dystopian version of a society off the rails coming to reality. The ravenous monster and runaway train of real-time live news was in its full glory. And there it was. Live and in living horror.

It seems the landlord of the dead San Bernardino shooters allowed teams of salivating reporters into their apartment to sift and rummage through and even hold up for display and inspection their possessions and personal effects to the unfiltered, indiscriminate and unedited camera lens in a scene that reminded me of looters sifting through a recently torched liquor store. To say it was disturbing might be the understatement of understatements. It was live national television. The ravenous rampagers stampeded each other and held up children’s toys, family photos and even displayed driver licenses and social security cards of individuals who were very much alive and in no way suspected of complicity as of yet. I thought this was the country that was obsessed with identity theft based on the number of commercials that bombard us regularly. You could hear the click of screenshots all over the world as “journalists” picked through the possessions of the now dead couple and held them up for inspection.

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell, clearly disturbed and understandably uncomfortable with this drive-by coverage, asked a reporter and cameraman to please refrain from airing these photos. “They want wide shots, no photos,” an NBC reporter said in off-camera audio picked up on live coverage. Too late, the riot was in full swing. The media orgy had commenced.

But, wait, wasn’t this an actual active crime scene? At least, theoretically. Doesn’t it take weeks and perhaps months to completely comb through everything that might be of relevance in the investigation and perhaps in the follow-up of newly acquired and discovered accomplices, coconspirators and witnesses? The New York Times reported the rather cryptic response from one rather befuddled national law enforcement official of note.

"FBI Director James B. Comey said at a news conference in Washington that he had seen the video of the reporters in the townhouse. “I think I’m neither unhappy nor happy,” he said. “When we are done with a location, we return it to their rightful owners and we have to leave an inventory under the law about what was taken. So, people got to see our great criminal justice system in action.”

And were there no possessory interests here breached by the landlord’s consent to enter and film? From a legal point of view this is less problematic because the lessees are now dead, their estate has no ostensible right to intercede (if that were even possible) but other issues arise, viz. the privacy rights of those whose data were made available to the prying eyes of the world and suspects who might be developed in the case who might later challenge in court the contamination and validity of property or evidence that might be seized. It’s unfathomable to anyone who’s worked in law enforcement to understand how any agency could have given the all clear to rifle through what is still in effect an active crime scene.

But aside from the aforementioned, what amazed me most was the de minimis reaction in general from the media proper as well as the public. Sure, there were the gratuitous references to how horrid the event was but nowhere was the reaction comparable to our hand-wringing and collective harrumphing over Brian Williams’ moments of mendacity as to his imaginary wartime derring-do. Or Petra Laszlo, the Hungarian TV camerawoman ostensibly tripping a refugee carrying a child as he fled from police. Granted, these are different from the rampaging reporter rummagers, but they both deal with journalists injecting themselves into the story. To such an extent that they become the story.

The freneticness and frissons that reporters experience are understandable. Even the errant paparazzo who traverses the line is at least put into the context that the job itself inspires such behavior. Fine, we get it.

But this singular event was different. And the silence from network and cable officials was deafening. Aside from the possible contamination of a crime scene (granted, with the permission of landlord and law enforcement) and the almost Pamplona-style stampede of crazed media jackals, clawing and scratching to be the first to hold up terrorist miscellany, was an inexplicable sense that this was just wrong. Beyond unseemly. Beyond voyeuristic. It was even beyond ghoulish. It was Black Friday bargain rioter meets Ron Galella-esque journalistic trespass. It breached etiquette, it violated sensibilities, it was vile, venal and disproportionately mercenary.

Cue CRICKETS. Nary a peep. Or word. Not a public apology, no corporate contrition. Nada. We’ve seen worse and undoubtedly will. And, after all, these were terrorists and who cares about their rights or property, right? But that’s just it. It had nothing to with their postmortem trespass violations of personal space. It was all about what we’ve become, where latter day journalism has sunk.

I admit and plead guilty to still having a Cronkite reverence and expecting that his standards will somehow reemerge. I know, I’m delusional. And I should be grateful that my position of media analyst and news decoder enjoys an abundance of dreck and excess, but not when the standards have plummeted to such an incomprehensible depth.

It really, truly was that bad. And will invariably happen again.

IMF allows lending to countries with arrears; Russia prepares to go to court over Ukraine debt

Published time: 8 Dec, 2015 21:27

The International Monetary Fund has agreed to change its policy on lending to countries that are in arrears to other governments. With Ukraine being among the states that asks for financial aid while owing Russia, the move has angered Moscow.

"The IMF's Executive Board met today and agreed to change the current policy on non-toleration of arrears to official creditors," according to the IMF's Chief Spokesman Gerry Rice statement emailed to RT on Tuesday. "Details on the scope and rationale for this policy change" will be provided later, it added.

Previous IMF guidelines on lending to such states were relatively strict, stating that "the IMF doesn't lend to countries that are not making a good-faith effort to eliminate their arrears with creditors."

Ukraine is among such owing countries, having a $3 billion debt to Russia, with Kiev being on course to miss the end-of-the-year deadline to repay it. Going by the old rules, that would jeopardize IMF bailout to Kiev.

READ MORE: Kiev doesn’t rule out default on Russian debt

The IMF decision to change its lending policies has been made "in prejudice of Russia and to legalize Kiev's capacities not to pay its debts," Russia's Finance Minister Andrey Siluanov told journalists on Tuesday, as cited by Interfax. Siluanov called the decision "precipitated and preconceived."

Russia has addressed the IMF to help solve the situation with Ukraine's debt, but was told to "engage with negotiations [with Kiev] alongside commercial creditors," Siluanov said.

"It's not a constructive dialogue, circle has been closed. In such conditions we have no other choice but to use all possibilities to protect our rights as a creditor. We are preparing documents to go to court," the finance minister said.


Ukraine’s sovereign debt to Russia dates back to a deal between President Vladimir Putin and former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich that was struck in 2013 and envisaged Moscow buying $15 billion worth of Ukrainian bonds. Russia bought $3 billion worth in December 20, 2013, and the debt is supposed to be repaid by December 20, 2015. In November, Russian President Vladimir Putin offered Kiev a three-year installment plan to pay back, but no official answer to the proposal has been received.

The IMF was never that tolerant when EU members got into financial trouble as they are towards Ukraine – the country “with one of the worst economic conditions in the world right now," economist Jack Rasmus told RT.

"It's interesting, the contrast there with IMF's behavior this past year with regard to Greece which is an EU country, when they made Greece make its payments before they would release any additional funds... Ukraine is in the depression and it's about to default, and they are coming up with tens of billions of dollars more just to keep Ukraine floating," Rasmus said.

San Bernardino victims daughter exposes her mother to be a fake and shooters’ family attorney speaks out

Monday, December 7, 2015 11:43
Thanks to A.

(Before It’s News)

December 6, 2015 by Michael Aydinian

First of all two clips which really should be enough to convince people something doesn’t sit right with this ‘incident’ in San Bernardino, California. The third ‘false flag’ video shows how the Paris attack had government operatives throwing fire-crackers in cafes, terrifying unsuspecting customers. It’s so blatant it’s almost laughable.

An Exclusive You Have To See: The Last Frontier of Free Press Is Here! No More Censorship, Unlike YouTube and Others!


Frankly, quite why I even have to say this for me is the crux of the problem. Most of us by now should at least be suspicious as to why the authorities, with all the extra surveillance & spying, are unable to avert these so-called attacks. Yet the terrorists are as dumb as can be! Islamic passports are always left at the scene. Oh but no one is ever captured & no one is ever sacked for incompetence. Since when could would-be terrorists acquire automatic weapons at will? The media never ask questions yet they attach blame at light speed! Are you kidding me?



Almost everybody should know we’re being set up. For quite some time I’ve been saying they’re going to stage fake events with increasing regularity because they have to manufacture an excuse to take away our basic rights. The evidence is so overwhelming quite how anyone can be daft enough to believe the media is beyond me. I keep saying – can’t you see how they’re inciting Islamophobia by blaming everything on Islamic extremists? Since the only terrorists that really do exist are ones the West has created, every last one of these incidents – the Boston bombing, Sandy Hook, Charlie Hebdo, the Paris attack & now this alleged shooting in San Bernardino, had to be engineered. This whole war on terror is a total myth.


Yet as much as one explains how the Zionist controlled media is literally doing all it can to get us to argue among ourselves, my protestations often fall on deaf ears. We should be joining forces against what is a terrible, common evil that’s out to enslave us. As much as I tell people their goal is to divide & conquer; as much as I provide all the evidence that conclusively shows how the US, UK, France etc are not fighting ISIS BUT FUNDING IT, for many, the penny simply will not drop. Whether cognitive dissonance is rearing it’s ugly head I’m not sure, yet even those who are aware politicians & media are lying, nevertheless struggle to make sense of it all. The key to unlocking all the conundrums is to ask – WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS & WHO ARE THEY DOING THIS FOR?

As I just explained, only by creating an imaginary foe can the elite usher in laws which effectively will strip us of our fundamental rights. This will lead to the elimination of dissent, forced vaccinations, micro-chipping, a police state, mass incarceration & mass execution. For the blithering idiots who accused people like me of being conspiracy theorists & anti-Semitic, they’ll have to experience the dawning realisation that largely thanks to their stupidity slavery will have returned with a vengeance.

Of course many of the chief power-brokers are Zionists – the daddy of them all being the Rothschild banking dynasty. In conjunction with the above, in order for the Rothschild’s to create a New World Order & so become despotic lords of the planet, their fiefdom Israel has to expand dramatically & in doing so, crush all their opponents. Time & again I’ve talked of Oded Yinon’s plan to create Greater Israel. It all ties in with 9/11, the catalyst for the war on terror & why ISIS is in fact an Israeli run terrorist organisation that is currently destroying all their enemies, paving the way for the creation of Greater Israel.

So durable

There exists mountains of evidence to verify what I just said –

1) First & foremost, so far ISIS has slaughtered hoards of Arab & Muslims along with some Christians. They’ve also only attacked Muslim countries. I ask you – what kind of Islamic terrorist organisation never attacks Israel & only attacks their own?

2) Cast your mind back to when Joe Biden let it slip that the Turks were helping ISIS. Angry denials were met with stony silence. Biden hasn’t opened his mouth since.

3) When the West was claiming it was attacking ISIS in Syria & Iraq, lo & behold, like magic, ISIS went from strength to strength.

4) With no option left, Assad asked Russia for their help. Within two weeks ISIS was being routed.

5) Instead of the West thanking Russia for accomplishing what they seemingly were incapable of doing, Russia was roundly criticised for attacking non-existent moderate rebels. Only the brain dead & comatosed didn’t realise this was a bare-faced lie.

6) Almost on cue Israeli retribution in the form of a bomb on a Russian passenger plane. Immediately the media blamed ISIS when there is no way cut-throat mercenaries can overnight become saboteurs able to evade airport security in a foreign country. This is the domain of Mossad. As I said, only when you accept ISIS is our creation for the benefit of Israel, does everything fall neatly into place.

7) True to form, when Russia presents damning evidence Turkey is buying ISIS oil, instead of the media eagerly pursuing these incredible allegations, virtually a blanket boycott is imposed on this news. The US state department declares Russia’s claims are without substance. In the meantime it’s almost common knowledge Erdogan’s family is making millions from these ISIS oil trades.

8) Of course RT relentlessly pound the Turkish connection but never do they or anyone else ever mention that Israel too is feeding ISIS by buying oil from them.

Multiple reports claim that Israel is the top purchaser of smuggled ISIS oil –

http://russia-insider.com/en/politics/israel-main-buyer-isis-oil-report/ri11633

9) Not only that, there have been several articles on the Internet that clearly show both Israel & Turkey are treating ISIS wounded in their hospitals. One such report showed none other than Netanyahu visiting wounded ISIS terrorists.

10) And finally, the one question that is always avoided like the plague – HOW IN THE BLAZES IS ISIS MAINTAINING IT’S SUPPLY LINES?

…………………..

Here’s more damning evidence that Israel is secretly helping ISIS. What right do they have even entering Syrian air-space, let alone to illegally bomb a sovereign nation? This is a blatant act of war! Can you imagine the outcry if it was the other way round – Syrian jets bombing Tel Aviv?

Israel’s covert involvement in Syria conflict to escalate –

Israeli Airstrikes Over Damascus Confirmed –

http://www.almasdarnews.com/article/israeli-airstrikes-over-damascus-confirmed/

………………….

THE DANGERS ARE NOW AS CLEAR AS DAYLIGHT.

Here’s incontrovertible evidence our politicians are traitors because they’re working against our best interests. How dare they do this on the quiet. Britain had a police force 120 odd years before Israel existed! We never asked for this. It was never in any manifesto pledge. What the hell does our police force need to seek advice from thugs? This is all part of the NWO Zionist Rothschild plan.

Why are London’s Police travelling to Israel?

In the six month period from 1st March 2014 to 31st August 2014, Eighty of London’s Metropolitan Police staff travelled to Israel. This period coincides with Operation Protective Edge, the recent bombardment and massacre of of over 2000 Palestinians in Gaza.

Recently it was revealed that the Israeli army is systematically training US police forced in tactics and strategy developed as an occupying army. Has the same or similar service been provided to European police forces?

The Metropolitan Police will not reveal the purpose of the trips to Israel or the rank of the staff that travelled. A reason given for withholding the information is that it would“have the effect of compromising law enforcement tactics and strategies ”. However, If the Metropolitan Police are learning inappropriate tactics and strategy to use on London civilians then, it is for that very reason, that this information should be released into the public domain.

“Israel’s excellence in weaponry, surveillance systems, containment strategies, biometric data collection, crowd control and psychological warfare are all marketable. Israeli know-how has become indispensable to the global appetite for “homeland security”” — Jonathan Cook, Journalist

If it’s the reverse and the police are teaching tactics and strategy to Israel in the context of its illegal occupation then it shows a level of involvement in the occupation that was hitherto hidden and may imply criminal behaviour according to international law.

“Your Police are being trained by the Israeli Army to defeat and control their enemy, and when your police come back, you become their enemy” — Eran Efrati — Israeli Army Whistleblower warns the American public in March 2014



Finally the excellent video ‘A Storm is Coming’ by MAX IGAN that I mentioned in my previous post. I agree with pretty much everything Max says. This is well worth listening all the way through because unlike me, Max explains how we can beat these bastards & I think he’s right.

Australian Prime Minister’s Chief Business Adviser & His Shocking Comments About The New World Order

by


The Australian prime minister’s chief business adviser is saying that climate change is a ‘ruse’ led by the United Nations to create a new world order under the agency’s control. This statement coincided with a visit from the UN’s top climate negotiator. More on this later in the article.

Before reading this article, please keep in mind that I am not denying climate change. I am simply presenting information that you will not hear from mainstream media. I wanted to make this article more so about the politicization of climate change science and let people know that if you feel this way, you are not alone.

What I take issue with is the use of the climate change debate, among other real world problems, for the satisfaction of global elitist agendas. This is far from a mere ‘conspiracy theory,’ it’s an opinion that is backed by evidence in the form of documentation, scientific research, and statements from undeniably credible sources. Again, I am not denying climate change here, just presenting information you will probably never hear from mainstream media.

Perhaps the most potent example of the influence of politics over scientific publications is a recent episode involving Genetically Modified Maize. Monsanto published a study a few years ago which purported to demonstrate the effects of GMO maize on rats over a 90 day period. They reported no ill effects on the rodents from this diet. Given the fact that there are no long term studies examining the health risks associated with GMOs, independent researchers then decided to conduct the same study, with one difference: their study lasted over a year rather than a mere three months. Researchers found instances of severe liver and kidney damage, as well as hormonal disturbances, alongside the development of large tumors and mortality among the treatment groups. The study was published in November of 2012, in the Journal of Food and Chemical Toxicology, and then instantly retracted. After hundreds of scientists condemned the retraction, the US did not publish it. The study was then re-published in multiple peer-reviewed scientific journals (in Europe last year [2014]), like Environmental Sciences Europe. This is why it shouldn’t be a surprise that so many countries in Europe have banned the growing of genetically modified crops. Many also have bans and/or severe restrictions on importing GM products, citing health and environmental concerns.

What also points to the politicization of science when it comes to GMOs is the fact that the United States has aggressively pursued foreign policies in food and agriculture that benefit the largest seed companies. They (covertly) promote agricultural biotechnology, even over the opposition of the public and government, while completely disregarding other, more sustainable agricultural policy alternatives. Wikileaks cables (yes, there are classified documents pertaining to our food) show that the State Department was lobbying all over the world for Monsanto and other major biotech corporations. They reveal that American diplomats requested funding to send lobbyists for the biotech industry to meet with politicians and agricultural officials in “target countries.” These included countries in Africa, Latin America, and Europe. WikiLeaks revealed the Bush administration drew up ways to retaliate against Europe for refusing to use genetically modified seeds. You can read more about that story here, and you can see the actual Wikileaks document here.

This politicization of science has also been demonstrated by statements from leading scientists around the world. For example, Dr. Richard Horton, the current Editor in Chief of The Lancet – considered to be one of the world’s most well respected peer-reviewed medical journals in the world — has stated outright that “much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue.” He also alluded to the corporate hand that dictates science.

Harvard medical school lecturer and current Editor in Chief of The New England Medical Journal, Marcia Angell, has said much the same thing. She stated that “it is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of the New England Journal of Medicine.”

Harvard Professor of Medicine Arnold Seymour Relman was also disgusted by the fact that “the medical profession is being bought by the pharmaceutical industry.”

New real world examples of this type of fraud are emerging every day, making it clear why experts, like the ones quoted above, are risking their livelihoods to speak out against this corruption. The latest known example of a pharmaceutical company manipulating research happened recently with the drug Paxil. This is an anti-depressant supposedly used to treat depression, and it has been heavily marketed despite the fact that it was known to cause harm to teenagers.

The list goes on and on, and I really just wanted to offer a snapshot of this problem. Science today is not what it used to be. I used the example of GMOs because they are intertwined with climate change (as illustrated below), but the same thing is going on throughout the scientific world.

The Politicization of Climate Science

“The problem we haven now in the scientific community is that some scientists are mixing up their scientific role with that of climate activist.” (source)

The above quote comes from Professor Lennart Bengtsson, a Swedish climatologist, former director of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, and winner of the 51st IMO Prize of the World Meteorological Organization for his pioneering work in numerical weather prediction. Bengtsson, along with four of the world’s top climate scientists, recently had their research rejected for suggesting that the climate might be less sensitive to greenhouse gases than had been claimed by the IPCC. He was appalled that a paper might not be published based on political grounds alone, stating that “It is an indication of how science is gradually being influenced by political views. The reality hasn’t been keeping up with the [computer] models.” (source)

As expected, he came under fire, despite the fact that many scientists echoed his sentiments in support, including a former senior member of the UN’s climate change advisory board, Mike Hulme. Hulme is currently a professor of climate and culture at King’s College London. (source)

Professor Joanna D. Haigh, a British physicist, professor of atmospheric physics at Imperial College London, co-director of the Grantham Institute for Climate Change, former president of the Royal Meteorological society, and a fellow of the Royal Society, has done the same. (source)

These are a just a few of many examples of experts with very impressive backgrounds in the field who have spoken out about this issue. So, just as we’ve seen the manipulation of medical science, which is undeniable, the very suggestion that climate science could be somewhat ‘off’ is still something you could be harshly criticized for.

Again, a more recent example of the confusion surrounding this topic comes from the Australian prime minister’s chief business adviser (man used in the cover photo for this article), who is saying that climate change is a ‘ruse’ led by the United Nations to create a new world order under the agency’s control. This statement coincided with a visit from the UN’s top climate negotiator.

He claims that the UN is using false models which show sustained temperature increases for the reasons of ending democracy and imposing authoritarian rules.

“It’s a well-kept secret, but 95 percent of the climate models we are told prove the link between human CO2 emissions and catastrophic global warming have been found, after nearly two decades of temperature stasis, to be in error. . . . The real agenda is concentrated political authority. Global warming is the hook.” (source)

He also stated that the UN is against capitalism and freedom and wants to create a new world order.

The Global Warming Policy Foundation (which Professor Lennart Bengtsson was part of) was a think tank designed to challenge what they considered to be damaging, harmful, and expensive policies and scientific conlusions. Over the years they have presented information, research, and theories that drastically challenge ones which are widely accepted by governments today.

We are talking about sane people here, conducting independent research, who are being completely ignored by mainstream media. Isn’t that a sign that we should listening to them? It can be hard, given the fact that mainstream media wants to make anybody who questions just how big an impact human activity has had on global temperatures looks like a fool, similar to questioning vaccinations.

And why are corporations like Exxon Mobil sponsoring these climate talks every single year when they knew about climate change almost 40 years ago and said nothing? What is going on here?

Why did NASA recently publish a study saying the Antarctic is gaining more ice than it’s losing? Not long ago, NASA was even blasted by approximately 50 of their own personnel regarding their global warming stance. (source)(source)

Below is a video of Dr. Vandana, Ph.D., an international activist, scientist, and expert in environmental technology, bringing up some more important issues related to the talks happening right now about climate change. One really important thing to take away, I believe, is the fact that politics and climate change are being used to increase corporate power, forcing us to accept their solutions when there are other solutions that work better.



The Union of Concerned Scientists reminds us that GM crops are not guaranteed, despite what is promised by company advertising. These crops still fail to produce promised yields, and farmers are not permitted to save seeds because this would be in violation of the company’s patent on the seed. As a result, entire communities can be pushed to the brink of starvation.

You might be surprised to learn that every person on the planet can feed themselves with just 100 square feet of well managed land. In 2008, the UN Conference of Trade and Development supported organics, saying that organic agriculture can be more conducive to food security in Africa than most conventional production systems, and is more likely to be sustainable in the long term. You can read that full reportHERE.

So ask yourself, are GMOs necessary? Why aren’t climate activist billionaires like Bill Gates looking into over-unity technology (like THIS)?

The New World Order

It is amazing to me that someone as high profile as the Australian prime minister’s chief business adviser has said this is all one big step towards a planned new world order. It certainly seems that way, and it’s a shame that these kinds of potentially unifying crises are being used to take away our rights and hand more power over to big corporations. One very recent example of this in action is the Trans Pacific Partnership (TTP).

I really wouldn’t be surprised if climate change was being used in the same way. And the unfortunate reality is that this manipulation doesn’t just extend to the scientific world, but rather to all arenas of import in our world. A number of high level politicians and academics recently gathered at what is called the International Conference on the New World Order. There, it was discussed how terrorism is being used, funded, and manufactured by the Western military alliance to bring about a new world order.

So, as you can see, it’s not just global issues like climate change and GMOs, it’s also terrorism (and who knows what else). We continue to identify these problems, some of which are created by the same people we charge with stopping them, without ever seeing actual progress being made. So what is really going on here? Is this really an issue which has inspired our political leaders to gather and discuss how to change it, or is there some fraud going on here in order to push along the new world order agenda? Are all those who are in attendance even aware of this agenda? Or only a select few?

One thing is for certain, our ways of generating energy, our meat consumption, and our modes of transportation all have to change. We are destroying our environment and it’s obvious we can do things better here. In fact, this has been abundantly clear for a very long time, and solutions have existed for decades. If we continue to rely on the same people to solve our problems, it’s most likely that history will keep repeating itself and we will be having the same discussions at the next climate summit.

Cocaine Production Plummets After DEA Kicked Out Of Bolivia

Galactic Free Press's picture

Bolivia — After the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) was kicked out of Bolivia, the country was able to drastically reduce the amount of coca (cocaine) produced within its borders. According to data released by the United Nations, cocaine production in the country declined by 11% in the past year, marking the fourth year in a row of steady decrease.

It was just seven years ago that the DEA left Bolivia — and only three years after that, progress was finally made. The strategy employed by the Bolivian government may be a surprise to many prohibitionists because it did not involve any strong-arm police state tactics. Instead, they worked to find alternative crops for farmers to grow that would actually make them more money.

“Bolivia has adopted a policy based on dialogue, where coca cultivation is allowed in traditional areas alongside alternative development [in others],”Antonino de Leo, United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime’s representative in Bolivia, told VICE News.

“It’s not only about making money off a crop. In the old fashioned alternative development approach, we substitute one illicit crop for a licit crop. It’s about a more comprehensive approach that includes access to essential services like schools, hospitals, and roads in areas that traditionally have been hard to reach,” Leo added.

There are unfortunately still harsh laws against drug trafficking in Bolivia, but these have been active since the height of the drug war and have had no effect on the recent decline in production. Bolivian president, Evo Morales — a former coca farmer himself — has been less heavy handed since the DEA left the country, a move that allowed the government to develop alternatives for the struggling farmers instead.

The drug war is one of the most misunderstood subjects in mainstream political discourse, even among people who are sympathetic to the plight of responsible drug users. It is rare for someone to come out and say that all drugs should be legal, but in all honesty, this is the only logically consistent stance on the issue. To say that some drugs should be legal while others should not is still giving credence to the punishment paradigm and overlooking the external consequences of drug prohibition — or prohibition of any object, for that matter.

As I explained in an earlier article, there are many external factors that are affected by the drug war that many people don’t take into account. That is because when you carry out acts of violence, even in the form of punishment, you then create a ripple effect that extends far beyond the bounds of the original circumstance to affect many innocent people down the line. The list in my previous article delves into those external factors to illustrate how drug users and non-users alike would be a lot better off if prohibition ended immediately.

The list includes the following advantages of full legalization:

  1. Reduce violent crime
  2. Improve seller accountability and drug safety
  3. Reduce drug availability to children
  4. Reduce nonviolent prisoner population
  5. Real crime can be dealt with
  6. Encourage genuine treatment for addicts
  7. Prevent drug overdoses
  8. Protect individual rights
