110. that's what i was thinking

Oct 2012

i mentioned the iran-contra scandal-part of it was putting coke on our streets. some people on the board couldn't believe a part of our government would do that. a journalist and x CIA exposed the scandal. with these neo-cons it truly is "the ends justify the means", no matter if the means are illegal as hell or hurts the american people. of course, putting drugs on the streets increased the prison population (money for privatized prisons); thus increasing profits and control of the people.

the thing is they basically got away with it. we the people have no idea what corrupt acts (money laundering, drugs, or even laundering for terrorism) are being done. i think the "ends" are not for the well being for this country or the people; but for a handful of greedy, self-interested arseholes.

and, this news does not surprise me, especially in today's climate. this country by not enforcing the rule of law is becoming morally bankrupt.
