    'War on drugs' was a sinister conspiracy to go after anti-war protesters and black people, according to president Nixon's domestic policy chief

    One of the top White House advisers to president Richard Nixon admitted the 'War of Drugs' was meant to crush anti-war protesters and black people a decades-old interview has revealed.

    John Ehrlichman, who served as President Richard Nixon's domestic policy chief, described the sinister use of Nixon's controversial policy in 1994.

    Dan Baum, the journalist who originally interviewed Ehrlichman, revisited the admission in a new article for Harper's magazine.

    'You want to know what this was really all about,' Ehrlichman said in the interview after Baum asked him about Nixon's harsh anti-drug policies.

    'The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying.

    'We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities.

    'We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news.

    'Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did,' Ehrlichman said in the interview.

    Was just going to post this article. Nothing earth shattering to most of us, but at least it's confirmation from the horses mouth ass.

    'We endorse the idea of voluntarism; self-responsibility: Family, friends, and churches to solve problems, rather than saying that some monolithic government is going to make you take care of yourself and be a better person. It's a preposterous notion: It never worked, it never will. The government can't make you a better person; it can't make you follow good habits.' - Ron Paul 1988

    The war on drugs started the day prohibition was ended. They had a giant police force with nothing to do so they went after weed.
    "One thing my years in Washington taught me is that most politicians are followers, not leaders. Therefore we should not waste time and resources trying to educate politicians. Politicians will not support individual liberty and limited government unless and until they are forced to do so by the people," says Ron Paul."

    Marijuana was reclassified as a narcotic after the Supreme Court struck down The Marijuana Tax Act as unconstitutional.

    That the "War on Drugs" was a targeted political attack is no surprise..

    It really is a War on Us.
    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.
