February 4, 2009 (LPAC)--A leading spokesman for the George Soros-run dope legalization movement, replied to U.N. anti-drug chief Antonio Maria Costa's statement that laundered drug money is propping up the current financial system, by demanding that legal attacks on narcotics be stopped, to save the financial system.

David Borden is executive director of the Soros-funded Stop The Drug War (drcnet.org), an organizing nexus for drug traffickers and users. Borden wrote Jan. 30 in his Drug War Chronicle, "We're accustomed to regarding drugs and drug selling as bad things, but like everything they have their upside. Suppose the drug war magically started to work and the trade were wiped out, or people suddenly stopped using drugs. What would happen to the economy? What would happen to countries like Afghanistan or Colombia or Mexico where a lot of the money being made is in drugs and a lot of people are dependent on that money? Or in some sectors of U.S. society, for that matter? It would be a catastrophe.... [The] sudden implosion of a large sector of the economy would wreak havoc...."

Borden flies forward with the Soros proposition: "Drug users and even sellers, then, are an integral part of human society -- the larger economic weal depends in part on theirs.... We need our drug users, and even our drug sellers, for the most part -- not because they use or sell drugs, but because they're here and we're connected to them, for better or worse. And if ... in a somewhat flawed way they contribute to the economy on which all of us depend, then they also don't deserve to be persecuted, jailed, have their rights taken away and their lives scarred.... [We] should chart a path ... to some form of global legalization...."
