Great article; the power of words. Anslinger was also responsible for murdering Billie Holiday, and supplied Joe McCarthy with his pharmaceutical heroin connection. Anslinger himself used morphine for angina, and his men were working for drug lords to keep drugs illegal, and keep drug lords wealthy. See “Chasing…

There are beautiful places, and not so nice places in every country in the world. Drive from Newark Airport to Port Authority, and there is not a blade of grass to be seen, most buildings, tall and looming, are boarded up and look abandoned, and this goes on for more perhaps 40 or more minutes, street to street, as…

Bfunk; you would love Perkins. A lot of questions get answered, and a lot of solutions offered in his great works; eye opening; he found his soul and heart when his child was born, and he met other human beings of the world. God’s children we are all.

I gotta note, that many polls are done with people who have land line phones. Such speaks to itself, as to accuracy, or lack thereof...

Harry Anslinger mentored young Joe Arpaio. Anslinger was a racist, paranoid sadist that Mr. Arpaio kept reminders of in his Arizona office. Anslinger was also friends with Joe McCarthy, who was a heroin addict; Anslinger arranged for a D.C. pharmacy to keep McCarthy supplied. (“Chasing the Scream”- Johann Hari)
