u can watch this documentary online, for free, until april 15th. it’s about america’s war on drugs – its history, its politics, its economics, its victims, its failure. the entire doc is great but if u have less time pls watch the second half, starting at 55.22. the connections between drug laws and the need for racial control are stunning, a must see. also, the parallels with the war on terror r unmistakable – the logic, the rhetoric and the modus operandi r exactly the same. historian richard miller talks about a chain of destruction: 1) identification of an unwanted, dangerous group of people, 2) the permission to hate and commit violence against that group, 3) the confiscation of their civil rights, 4) their concentration in facilities or camps, and finally, 5) their annihilation. the war on drugs is well into the concentration stage.
