“THE TRAGEDY OF WAR IS THAT IT WIELDS AND MANIPULATES MAN’S BEST, TO DO MAN’S WORST“.
Governments and their enforcers/vested interests, including our own, have helped and continued to wage a war of supremacy against their own people, to force people to give up their human rights of use, individual freedom, individual belief and individual choice in favour of Policies of dictatorship and mastery. They have trampled on (in the name of ‘Freedom and protecting the Public’ no less), individual beliefs, traditions, freedoms and choices with Policies of social segregation, discrimination, hatred, racism, no tolerance and eradication/annihilation - as well as slandering, persecuting and prejudicially targeting individuals and collective groups.

There is a quote that states, “The biggest farce of human history has been the argument that wars are fought to save civilisation”, when in actual fact it is waged and fought for supremacy and domination. This is best summed up in a simple story:

“……Once when Frederick the Great was about to declare war, he instructed his secretary to write the war proclamation. The secretary began, ‘Whereas in the providence of God, etc. etc……..’ “STOP THAT LYING!” Frederick thundered, “Simply say, Frederick wants more land”.

Quotes:
“History reveals that wars create more problems than they solve”.

“If there is anything in which earth, more than any other resembles Hell, it is its wars”.

“When law can so obviously be wielded as the instrument of great oppression, how can one make the claim that the justification for law is its pursuit of justice, and its capacity to resist injustice“. David Dyenhaus-Uni of Melb.

A buzzword for War on Use and Choice is Prohibition.
“Prohibition goes beyond the bounds of reason, in that it attempts to control a man’s appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our Government was founded”. Abraham Lincoln. Dec. 1840.

“The greatest gift ever given to criminals on both sides of the ‘licit’/’illicit’ Great Australian/World Divide was the gift of Prohibition on selective use and choice, which is the Human Race Crime of apartheid discrimination (social segregation of individual and collective coverings defined by differential and/or preferential treatment) wielded as an excuse for war”. D. Nentwig

When it comes to all the above crimes being wielded against generation on generation, a simple quote/song from the ‘Manic Street Preachers’, sums it up quite well,
‘IF YOU TOLERATE THIS, YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE NEXT“…and their children, and their children’s children”.

Quote: The prestige of Government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the Prohibition Law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the Government and the Law of the Land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase in crime in this country, is closely connected with this”. Albert Einstein 1921.

Quote/passage: “Prohibition was introduced as a fraud, it has been nursed as a fraud, it is wrapped in the livery of Heaven but it comes to serve the Devil. It comes to regulate by law our appetites and our daily lives. It comes to tear down liberty and build up fanaticism, hypocrisy and intolerance. It comes to confiscate by legislative decree the property of many of our fellow citizens. It comes to send spies, detectives, and informers into our homes to have us arrested and carried before courts, and condemned to fines and imprisonments. It comes to dissipate the sunlight of happiness, peace and prosperity in which we are now living, and to fill our land with alienations, estrangements and bitterness. It comes to bring us evil, only evil, and that continually. Let us rise in our might as one (we are one, but we are many), and overwhelm it with such indignation that we shall never hear of it again as long as grass grows and water runs”. Roger W. Mills. 1887 speech but quoted more than once in the 1914 debate in Congress, USA. Note: They were talking in this instance about the drug ethanol.

Yes, the drug ethanol may be a symptom of the problem, but the problem is ABUSE and it does not discriminate between drugs of choice. The Law should be against ABUSE only, and not just a social segregation Policy against individual and collective rights of use and choice.

An Excellent Statement…….. “Education as a process for changing minds, beliefs and actions, is more effective, less wasteful of resources, and more edifying than the horrors of War wherever and however utilized”.
Dr. A.C. Germann - Professor emeritus of the Dept. of Criminal Justice, California.

“It is a national embarrassment that many of our approaches to drug use and drug abuses (at least he knows there’s a difference between use and abuse) remain so puerile, ignorant and vindictive. We need truthful information about responsible drug use, and irresponsible drug abuse, of both licit and illicit drugs, so called. We need alternatives to the repressive and demonising application of Police, Prosecution and Prison, and to consider reasoned and compassionate uses (benefit) of education, treatment and rehabilitation. Such alternatives would clearly demonstrate that policies of Zero Tolerance are counter productive, worsen a horrible situation, waste public monies, corrupt agencies, and serve only the interests of the Drug Conglomerates, the Prison/Criminal Justice Industrial Complex and unfair Agency Forfeiture Acquisitions .

The repetitive refrain (and one that our politicians wield on a constant basis) “We need to hire more police, pass tougher laws, get tougher judges, pass longer sentences and build more jails and prisons” is a popular and ADDICTIVE ditty, but unrealistic and self-defeating, and a politically mandated loyalty oath. We seem unable to learn from the painful history of Alcohol Prohibition”.
Dr. A.C. Germann - Prof. emeritus of the Dept. of Criminal JUSTICE, California.

“No-one shall be subject to coercion which would impair their freedom to have or to adopt a religion or belief of his choice (article 18). All persons are equal before the law and are entitled, without any discrimination, to the equal protection of the law. In this respect the law shall prohibit any discrimination and guarantee to all persons equal and effective protection against discrimination on any ground, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or OTHER status”.

This Covenant has been broken in favour of War.

“All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right, they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development”. Article 1 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights .

This Covenant has been broken in favour of Social Segregation and cultural genocide. (For over 10,000 years various cultures have applied drugs/’drogges’/psychoactive substances as part of their social, medicinal and spiritual cultures).

“War on selective use, choice and belief is a simple story of “How a minority, reaching majority, and seizing authority, hates and persecutes other minorities”.

“The greatest danger to liberty today comes from the people who are most needed and most powerful in modern Government, namely the efficient expert administrators exclusively concerned with what they regard as the ‘public good’. Frederick August von Hayek.
