Surely the 80’s neocons did not expect to extend their cocaine sales to all of America – so how did they plan to restrict the product’s growth? How did they plan to contain the cocaine product to minority neighborhoods of America?
Nowhere in the annals of history or even the “news current events” can one find neocon planning extolled. So, how did the neocons plan to limit the expansion of the cocaine product in America?
Early during the neocons sale of cocaine to minority neighborhoods in Los Angeles, California, there were resports of fancy cars queued up at curbside in minority neighborhoods seemingly engaged in some kind of commerce. Was this the beginning of some kind of niche market idea?
Did America’s federal government(1980 neocons) make it easy for America’s minority citizens to develop a cocaine habit? Did that cocaine habit spread from the minority neighborhoods of Los Angeles California to other American cities with large minority populations. Were large white majority populations also exposed to the cocaine habit?
How did the 1980’s neocons plan to limit the deadly effect of the illicit drug cocaine? During this period of time, there were comments about “lights on late” in the “basement” of the White House. This was during the “Iran-Contra affair” so the neocons needed to do planning away from curious American eyes.
Perhaps one could say that methadone clinics are all that is available to try to contain the effects of the neocons selling cocaine to American citizens living in minority neighborhoods of Los Angeles, California.
And what was the neocons motivation for selling cocaine to minority neighborhoods of Los Angeles, California? They needed money to finance an adopted war in the jungles of South America. The American tax-payer cut funding to Mr. Reagan’s South American jungle war. Mr. Reagan picked a minority neighborhood to ply his drug trade because he would have gotten into BIG trouble selling cocaine to America’s white majority neighborhoods.
Ethics, laws and the like all took a back-seat to the neocons’ political activities. And surfing America’s natural fault lines(racial,etc.) have sustained their brand of politics. They lowered America’s standards in everything.
Lowered standards in ethics and lowered respect for law could well have enabled the motivations for the 80’s neocons venture into drug peddling to its own citizens. It looks like the neocons placed no constraints on the growth of that illicit business.
And now the current day neocons wants to make the seller of illicit drugs to American citizens a “CZAR” of the Republican party. Only a moron or perhaps a neocon could understand that.
President Eisenhower was a Republican – but he was a real Republican and was well-qualified to be called G.O.P.. Drug dealers(cocaine) don’t qualify for the G.O.P. acronym. But you would never know that by reading the “current events” from the neocon press.

I was a psychiatrist working with low income and minority clients when the Bloods and Crips first brought crack cocaine to Seattle in the mid-eighties. Many of my non-using clients felt that flooding the community with crack served a definite tranquilizing effect in chilling public protest in response to initiatives (Interstate construction that destroyed 30% of minority small businesses, police militarism, aggressive gentrification) that virtually drove Affrican Americans out of homes they owned in Seattle’s central area – to high rise subsidzed housing units in Seattle’s souther suburbs. Many of the people I worked with informed for – or knew people who informed for – the police and FBI. They would talk about “concerns” that the supply of cocaine was running low and people getting restive and a possible Rodney King riot occurring (the Seattle police also beat up and shot unarmed black man). And miraculously a supply of cocaine would come in and everything would settle down again. I write about my own close encounter with the Shadow Government in my recent memoir THE MOST REVOLUTIONARY ACT: MEMOIR OF AN AMERICAN REFUGEE (I currently live in exile in New Zealand)
