Blacks Are Victims of Lawfare

It is why Blacks are flocking to Trump. The Lawfare they are victims of is Nixon's War On Blacks - the Nixon Drug War. It is one of the last vestiges of systemic racism still functioning.

"Look, we understood we couldn't make it illegal to be young or poor or black in the United States, but we could criminalize their common pleasure. We understood that drugs were not the health problem we were making them out to be, but it was such a perfect issue...that we couldn't resist it."

- John Ehrlichman, White House counsel to President Nixon on the rationale of the War on Drugs.

"[Nixon] emphasized that you have to face the fact that the whole problem is really the blacks" Haldeman, his Chief of Staff wrote, "The key is to devise a system that recognizes this while not appearing to."

And now you know why persecuted Blacks are backing Trump. They have seen Lawfare up close and personal.

Trump will owe them. He has known their issue for over 30 years. The Drug War. He now has a reason in addition to his others to bring the people it finances down. And the backing to do it.

"We're losing badly the war on drugs," he said. "You have to legalize drugs to win that war. You have to take the profit away from these drug czars." - Donald Trump at the Miami Herald 1990 Company of the Year Awards Luncheon

But things are even worse than that. "Drugs cause addiction" is a biologically false statement. Biologically drugs CAN'T cause addiction. A short discussion of the biology in simple layman's terms: Better Proof - The Government Is Lying About DRUGS

The tldr; version ==>

Drugs fill receptors.
Injury empties receptors. PTSD empties receptors.
Empty receptors are painful.
Filling empty receptors makes you feel good.
Empty receptors create a desire for drugs.
Drugs can not create a desire for drugs.

Think of all the Government Agencies dependent on the Drug War. It is very expensive.

Drugs fill receptors. What empties receptors (injury, PTSD) causes a desire for drugs. Drugs CAN'T cause addiction. Pass it on.

If they can get you to ask the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about the answers. - Thomas Pynchon.

Systemic Racisn gets a mention starting at 53 seconds in to the video.



Update: 24 May 2024 19:55z

I have been writing about Systemic Racism for a while. Here is a post I did featurig Matthew Fogg - Blacks In Government: End Drug Prohibition from 2011.

In this video Matt Fogg, a Black DEA agent, explains Drug War Racism policy. And yes. Racism is DEA policy. Matt does introductions for the first minute and a half of the video.

And you also have Joe Biden, the architect of the racist 1994 Crime Bill. People who prefered crack cocaine over powder (Blacks) got punished 100 times more. Congress later reduced that to only 18 times the punishment. Prison quotas need to be maintained.

I added - Drugs fill receptors. What empties receptors (injury, PTSD) causes a desire for drugs. Drugs CAN'T cause addiction. Pass it on.

Putting so many Black men in prison has ruined the Black family. Which was Nixon's intention. No fathers for Black kids. - 13:25z

I just posted (19 June 2024) - "Potential for Abuse" - about one way Drugs are classified.



Update: 30 August 2025 11:45z

Since the last update, I have been writing.

Drug classifications. Addiction Potential.

How addiction works. Drugs fill receptors. "We understood that drugs were not the health problem we were making them out to be" Receptor Science.

Lawfare Wants an Acquittal

I believe the "Hush Money trial" zeitgeist has changed. The judge today denied a critical prosecution objection At about 11:40 of the video. "Was Davidson extorting Trump" - ordinarily that is an easy "sustained". It was overruled. I think the calculus has changed from "get Trump convicted" to "get Trump away from the cameras".

Here is my thinking: A conviction will require sentencing. The Democrat operatives are now desperate to avoid the bump in the polls that would give Trump. No more 3 times a day press conferences. No more Congressional delegations backing Trump. No appeals - to remind people of the disaster. Shut it down. He can't give a directed verdict - that makes the sham way too obvious. What is left? Jury instructions for the judge. No more witnesses for the prosecution. Costello (Cohen's former lawyer) will be allowed for the defense. The cross examination of Costello will be weak.

i.e. they are on the horns of a dilemma FJB if they do, FJB if they don't. But mainly - stop giving Trump all that free publicity. The trial is over. Totally.

The jury instructions will be key. Who do they favor?

Update: 1 June 2024 0226z

Guilty on all 34 counts and Trump and his supporters are energized. I think we will see a significant boost in the polls by Monday or Tuesday.

Blacks In Government: End Drug Prohibition

Reason Magazine has the story:

A group representing black government employees, including a former DEA agent and member of the U.S. Marshals, has released a petition calling for an end to the drug war. Authored by Matthew F. Fogg, a retired DEA agent, the Blacks In Goverment (BIG) petition calls for a "Federal investigation for solutions to eliminate the pretense and continued arrest and incarceration of African-Americans at extraordinarily disparate rates for drug-related charges," as well as for Attorney General Eric Holder and President Barack Obama to immediately end "racial bias drug enforcement operations, provide retroactive reduction in sentences for victims and suggest alternatives to incarceration that may in part, include a model to regulate and control the distribution of some drugs."

Fogg covered D.C. for the DEA during the late 80s and 90s. In a statement from Law Enforcement Again Prohibition, Fogg says, "I personally witnessed racially biased enforcement procedures when I ran a joint DEA task force...When I requested equal enforcement of upscale suburban areas, I met internal resistance." So Fogg never busted down doors in Chevy Chase, McLean, or Bethesda? Shocking.

I (a white guy) have covered the racism of the drug war extensively here in articles like The New Jim Crow. Nice to see more Blacks getting on board. Because even though I hate to say it, it is true. The Drug War IS racist.
