Running with the torture loving DEA



by Ballard Quass, the Drug War Philosopher


November 7, 2019


Welcome back to the DEA Lounge!




I want to thank our public servants here for taking time out to join us. I know you've got a busy schedule, locking up liberals, so any time you can spare--





What did I say?



Hey, listen, I understand. By locking up liberals, you keep the Drug Warrior conservatives in power and thus maintain your crucial jobs of quashing dissent in America and limiting human consciousness.



No, seriously. I suppose the Drug War was bound to happen eventually on planet earth.


[gasp]

It had to happen at the precise moment in human history when capitalism and modern transportation coincided with a new awareness of the psychoactive power of plants.

[murmur]

We could either greet this alignment of forces rationally or not, and guess which choice we made?

[laughter]

Suddenly, Chicken Little politicians were screaming: "Oh, me gosh, we have to outlaw plants!"



Wrong.

Earth to politicians: you should have outlawed the profit motive when it comes to those psychoactive plants, not the plants themselves.

[applaud]

I guess they had to scapegoat plants, though, since the alternative was to question the all-powerful god of capitalism.

[laughter]

The result? They thereby created such a violent world that we had to invent a whole new movie genre to accommodate all the bullets and bodies: namely, the Drug War movie.


[laughter]


I hate to call such politicians morons, but if the dunce cap fits...

[drum]

[laughter]

"Gee, what happened? We outlawed plants and a bunch of violence ensued. Who would have thunk it?"

[laughter]

Answer: anyone with half a brain.

[drum]
[laughter]

Don't you love those Drug War movies? Those movies where the DEA "heroes" laugh at the US Constitution and willfully employ torture and murder to achieve their goal of outlawing Mother Nature? Ah, yes, good old American values: torture and murder.

[gasp]

Check out Running with the Devil, a DEA propaganda film starring Laurence Fishburne and Nicolas Cage.

[gasp]

Along with Leslie Bibb as the torture-loving DEA agent.

[gasp]

You know, if the Drug War is Christian, as many fundamentalists maintain, then I must have missed something in Sunday School.

[laughter]

I missed the part where Jesus told his followers to place suspects in bikini briefs, suspend them by a metal chain, and then threaten to drill holes in their abdomen with a power tool, as Leslie Bibb threatens to do to the so-called "Snitch" in Running with the Devil.

[gasp]

Oops, I forgot to mention: SPOILER ALERT!

[drum]
[laughter]

Speaking of spoilers, you ever notice that the Drug War spoils democracy!

[applaud]

I just looked up the movie, Running with the Devil, on so-called Common Sense Media.

[murmur]

Common Sense? More like Common Nonsense.

[laughter]

They pan the movie for its nudity and four-letter words...

[murmur]

...but they have absolutely NOTHING to say about the movie's glorification of governmental fascism.

[laughter]

Common Sense Media is like: Watch out, parents. There are some very naughty words, indeed, in this movie! Land's sakes! Aside from that, though, it's just a good-natured romp extolling the wonders of fascism! So enjoy!

[laughter]

My name is Ballard Quass and I'll be here until they outlaw freedom of speech, which won't be long considering that our government has already had the metaphysical chutzpah to outlaw mere plants!



Drug War Movies







Hollywood supports the war on drugs by refusing to show wise use while always depicting drug use in the worst possible light. Like all media, they refuse to show beneficial use -- and if they're not depicting drugs as dangerous dead-ends, they're at least showing use to be frivolous and dangerous. The producers kowtow to drug warrior sensibilities.

    Some Tweets against the hateful war on drugs

    There are definitely good scientists out there. Unfortunately, they are either limited by their materialist orthodoxy into showing only specific microscopic evidence or they abandon materialism for the nonce and talk the common psychological sense that we all understand.
    For those who want to understand what's going on with the drug war from a philosophical point of view, I recommend chapter six of "Eugenics and Other Evils" by GK Chesterton.
    Like when Laura Sanders tells us in Science News that depression is an intractable problem, she should rather tell us: "Depression is an intractable problem... that is, in a world wherein we refuse to consider the benefits of 'drugs,' let alone to fight for their beneficial use."
    Drug warriors are too selfish and short-sighted to fight real problems, so they blame everything on drugs.
    "If England [were to] revert to pre-war conditions, when any responsible person, by signing his name in a book, could buy drugs at a fair profit on cost price... the whole underground traffic would disappear like a bad dream." -- Aleister Crowley
    Getting off antidepressants can make things worse for only one reason: because we have outlawed all the drugs that could help with the transition. Right now, getting off any drug basically means becoming a drug-free Christian Scientist. No wonder withdrawal is hard.
    High suicide rates? What a poser! Gee, I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that the US has outlawed all substances that elate and inspire???
    Pundits have been sniffing about the "smell" of Detroit lately. Sounds racist -- especially since such comments tend to come from drug warriors, the guys who ruined Detroit in the first place (you know, with drug laws that incentivized profit-seeking violence as a means of escaping poverty).
    My depression would disappear overnight if religiously intolerant America would just allow me to live as free as Benjamin Franklin.
    America's "health" system was always screaming at me about the threat of addiction from drugs. Then what did it do? It put me on the most dependence-causing meds of all time: SSRIs and SNRIs.
