Multinational corporations benefit from globalization. So do counterfeiters, drug dealers, human traffickers and gun runners.

editing glitches

Occasionally, some weird glitch in our publishing system results in duplicate paragraphs. I'm not sure we've ever figured out what is really going on. The article should be all cleaned up now.

Oddly edited article

Hi -

Editors: you might want to look over this article again. Seems like there's a lot of repeated paragraphs in the article.

Crime Inc.

All the 'illegal' recreational drugs used to be

legal before artificial legislation was concocted

against their production, possession, and use. The

solution to the 'illegal' drug problem is to repeal and abrogate the artificially concocted laws and treaties which make these drugs artificially 'illegal'. Then they would be naturally legal again.

The Prohibition and Re-Legalization of alcohol

shows what drug laws, and drug law repeal, leads

to. Prohibition raised the price of alcohol and

funded the buildup of vast criminal enterprises

decades ago, before the age of "globalization."

De-prohibiting alcohol caused these alco-mafias

to lose interest in alcohol. Luckily for them,

pro-crime governments around the world obligingly

kept other drugs illegal, and even outlawed more

drugs in order to create more opportunities for

more narco-mafias. The governments of the world

have a symbiotic relationship with the narco-mafias of the world. The governments keep these

drugs illegal in order to keep the drug prices

high enough to keep the narco mafias rich and powerful. The narco-mafias foster enough other

crime and violence to allow governments to keep

faking the case for a War On Drugs which is the

governments' excuse for gaining ever more power

to oppress their host populations, and spend ever

more tax money on lucrative War On Drugs beaurocracies and prisondustrial complexes. One

back scratches the other. Want to break that cycle? Repeal Drug Prohibition.
