A War on Drugs to Save the People of America
A note to readers: this is an old post on the archive website for Promethean PAC. It was written when we were known as LaRouche PAC, before changing our name to Promethean PAC in April 2024. You can find the latest daily news and updates on www.PrometheanAction.com. Additionally, Promethean PAC has a new website at www.PrometheanPAC.com.
In the last three years, over 350,000 Americans have died from drug overdoses. That is more deaths than our combat fatalities from World War I, the Korean War and the Vietnam War combined. At the same time, drug usage has become "normalized," as cradle-to-grave drug-taking has now ensnared tens of millions of our citizens. Our elected officials do next to nothing. States and cities act to decriminalize or legalize drugs, even though everywhere this has been done it has resulted in expanded drug usage and more deaths.
Our largest banks and financial institutions have been caught time and again in laundering billions of dollars of drug money and financing drug trafficking. All they have received is a slap on the wrist. No one has gone to jail.
Robert Ingraham's new book "Unconditional Surrender: Winning the War on Drugs in the 21st Century" calls for a war against the drug producers, traffickers and financiers. Not a "campaign" against drugs, but total war against those who are killing our fellow citizens.
