Leon Felkins, Major, US Army (Retired) May 10, 2001 "In the latest incident, three American crewmen – on contract to the CIA – and a Peruvian officer were flying surveillance when they spotted the missionaries' Cessna as it headed over the Amazon jungle." (emphasis added) This quote, from one of the news articles about the shoot down of the private plane in Peru and the murder of the mother and her baby by the Drug Warriors [Note 1], while getting little notice by the news media or the public, is the most important piece of information in the whole news report. That is, the fact that three American government contractors were on a surveillance plane accompanying the war planes, exposes the heart and soul of what the Drug War is all about. Which is money, jobs and control. But you knew that already. You had to know that this massively failed Drug War – illogically fighting a societal problem that pales in comparison to the damage resulting from alcohol and smoking abuse but which continues to absorb massive funds, manpower, decency, and Constitutional rights – has to have some logic behind it. It most certainly is not the health and welfare of the citizens of this country and the world. Eisenhower warned of the "Military-Industrial Complex." He must be doing cartwheels in his grave today for what we had then is insignificant to what has developed since then. The complex network of contractors, military, politicians, foreign governments, and the drug traffickers will be examined in this essay. >>From "notes": << 1. An interesting quote: Senator Mitch McConnell (KY) did propose a bill in the summer of 1989 to empower the military to shoot down suspected drug-smuggling aircraft but Congress refused to let it out of committee; see J. Baker, "The 'You Fly, You Die' Debate," Newsweek (October 2, 1989), 26. The executive branch later made it clear that: "consistent with international law and in the interests of aviation safety, no action may now be taken to stop or interrupt the progress of a target aircraft in flight"; see ONDCP, 1989 National Drug Control, 76. ("The Role of the Military" Note 31, from the book, Drugs and Foreign Policy, Westview Press, 1991, edited by Raphael Perl.

His task is to demonstrate repeatedly and in depth that not only the emperor but even the "democratic" State has no clothes; that all governments subsist by exploitive rule over the public; and that such rule is the reverse of objective necessity. He strives to show that the existence of taxation and the State necessarily sets up a class division between the exploiting rulers and the exploited ruled. He seeks to show that the task of the court intellectuals who have always supported the State has ever been to weave mystification in order to induce the public to accept State rule and that these intellectuals obtain, in return, a share in the power and pelf extracted by the rulers from their deluded subjects.
