LaRouche 25 Marzo 2009

The first question to U.S. statesman Lyndon LaRouche after his presentation to an overflow audience at the Nueva Granada Military University in Bogotá, Colombia on March 18, addressed a central strategic issue being fought out across the Americas today: What effect would legalizing drugs have on the economy?

In a number of countries, including in the United States, the world's leading drug pusher, British imperial hitman George Soros has sold a number of Congressional and other fools who believe money and economy are synonymous, that somehow federal, state and municipal budget crises could be solved by the immoral act of taxing legalized dope.

LaRouche was uncompromising: "Legalizing drugs would mean the death of the economy.... Drug traffic was invented by the British as a way of destroying countries... This traffic is a mass murderer of individuals, is a mass murderer of nations. Any toleration for legalization of drugs is implicitly a crime against humanity."

As LaRouche explained:

"Legalizing drugs would mean the death of the economy. The effects of that— Remember, the drug traffic was invented by the British as a way of destroying countries. The drug traffic does, by the consumption of its product, destroy people and destroy nations, and that's what it's used for.

"There's an attempt now to replace the production of food by the market for drugs. Look, for example, at the Mexico-U.S. border. Now, the major drug traffic of the Americas is coming from South America, through or around the Caribbean area, and now coming through Mexico, with a surface area between the United States and Mexico at the border. What happens is from the United States down, as the Attorney General of the United States indicated, weapons, heavy weapons and other things, and money, go down to Mexico? The drugs come up to the United States.

"The control of territories of Mexico is destroying the sovereignty of the nation, and making it a victim of the drug lords. But many people on both sides of the border want that money. It's drug money, and the effect of it is to destroy the country which deals, gets into the drug traffic. Just the same way, in principle, as China in the 19th century was destroyed by the opium trade.

"The legalization of drugs in the name of, for example, so-called harm reduction, is a complete fraud. When the drugs destroy the person, they destroy the mind. They weaken the person's ability to function. This happened with the Chinese, who suffered a great crisis from this. China was sent down, backwards, culturally, by this. And any part of the world that's grabbed by the drug traffic, is sent down culturally. So, the traffic in drugs, narcotics like cocaine, like opium and so forth, the synthetics—this traffic is a mass murderer of individuals, is a mass murderer of nations. Any toleration for legalization of drugs is implicitly a crime against humanity".
