U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) agents and U.S Attorneys held secret meetings with drug trafficking organizations, especially the Sinaloa cartel, on Mexican soil, revealed Mexico-based newspaper El Universal. The DEA and the U.S. Attorney's office are both components of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). Official and court documents from the U.S and Mexican governments were cited as the source in the Jan. 6 news report. Court documents show that the U.S. government knew and authorized those meetings, which resulted in drug seizures, arrests, and an increase in drug cartel violence in Mexico. The paper published excerpts from U.S. court documents to support their claims. Breitbart News confirmed the validity of the court papers. El Universal alleges that the DEA operations were carried out without the knowledge of the Mexican government. The paper reported that it obtained the court and official documents in the course of a year. During that time, it also conducted interviews with “more than a hundred” active and retired officials from both countries. In an effort to obtain information on their rivals, DEA agents and U.S. attorneys met with leaders of Mexican drug trafficking organizations, especially the notoriously violent Sinaloa cartel. That is the same trafficking organization that received the bulk of the firearms intentionally dispensed to drug cartels in Mexico under ATF’s 2009 “Fast and Furious" operation according to a congressional investigation. ATF is a DOJ component as well. In December 2011, CNSNews.com reported that the gun-walking operation was linked to a drug-trafficking immunity deal between the U.S. government and the Sinaloa cartel by a defendant who was awaiting trial in a Chicago federal court at the time. (snip)tons of illicit drugs continued to be smuggled into Chicago and other parts of the United States and consumption continued virtually unabated…

The Bush family learned the trade when daddy Bush was the CIA director.
Legalize all drugs. Do you really think everybody is going to go straight for the most poisonous potion available? Really?! The popularity of many hard drugs seems to ebb and flow with the fanaticism of the enforcement of so-called gateways like marijuana. Those seeking such escape sometimes have gone to heroin or meth because it was easier to make, conceal and get than growing marijuana.
Besides, the government, especially the federal government, never had the authority. If you support the War on Drugs then you are helping the Left support Wickard v Filburn that expanded the interstate commerce clause on which it is base into every nook and cranny of your life because you don’t have the guts to try to pass a prohibition amendment carve out of drugs for federal enforcement.
If you don’t support either Wickard or an amendment, then state by state bans won’t work because their borders are porous and importation will come from the least restreictive state, just as occurred with alcohol from 1900-1919 that led to the amendment.
Besides, the intent of the interstate commerce clause was to facilitate, not inhibit, trade between states. And drugs, until the Third Awakening religious movement of the 1880s, along with gambling, guns and prostitution, were considered individual rights. It wasn’t until the religious right met and got in bed with Progressives around 1900 that they found government willing to impose their religious views in return for their support for progressive management of the economy.
Is that what you support?

Soros has been pushing for drug legalization, including heroin, since 1996. If Soros wants it, it's bad. He (they) have spent millions and they have obviously influenced many people like you. I grew up in Miami in the 80's and 90's. That was a legitimate drug war. There is no "drug war" right now. Holder's response to the heroin deaths is a medicine for first responders. He is in charge of the DEA!!! When I was growing up there was cocaine. Since there really was a war on drugs and shipments were seized daily, cocaine was expensive. Kids and people with limited resources didn't have easy access to drugs. There were no deaths that I knew of. I knew one addict, in my entire life, and I know a lot of people. The crap they are bringing is cheap. They aren't stopping the massive distribution of highly addictive and dangerous heroin, so it is cheap. It is cheap and therefore very appealing to silly kids curious, or trying to have fun. No bueno. The governments job is to protect citizens. Heroin destroyed China, and reality is that drugs are already legal to Pharma industries who ruthlessly supply highly addictive opium products in pill form and they are abused also. The "failed" war on drugs was a Soros campaign, but the fact is we didn't have all this crap around when Bush was president. What is going on now is whack. Just this last week I read about a toddler going to day care with heroin in his jacket. The heroin being sold out of McDonalds! It's ridiculous. NO WAY, legalization is Beelzebub Soros baby, and he wants the death of this nation.
Oh, that.
