Drug Induced Tyranny
The use of speed started with the Nazis and I believe testosterone (AKA steroids) did too. The Nazis invented the stuff, speed that is, and marched day and night into Poland and elsewhere with vehicles supplied by Ford; the Blitzkreig. It seems to me it goes a long way towards explaining how they were able to commit such cold blooded atrocities such as murdering almost every single Jew, Gypsy and street person in Poland and all over Europe. I have read recently that the meanest of the Nazis, the SS and others in similar outfits, were on steroids as well as speed.
I once took a pill while drinking with other sailors in Santa Monica shortly after I got out of the Navy. A dexadrine I got from two women and their Navy SEAL friend. It jacked me up pretty bad and years later I met an ex SEAL here in Humboldt county who told me that was "SEAL speed" that it was put out in gallon jars in the barracks and they filled their pockets with it prior to 6 and 7 day forays into the jungle. The pilots shooting up and bombing wedding parties and Canadians in Afghanistan where up for days at a stretch on this crap and it is a good bet that it is government issue in Iraq as well.
This activity and knowledge of it is not really that obscure and getting human beings to kill on command has been a problem for a very long time. It's solutions have been primarialy brainwashing via "boot camp" and public or government propaganda and drugs from alcahol to speed and God knows what else. An article in the Village Voice a while back detailed development of a drug that will allow totally guilt free killing for military folk in the future. You can check it out here.
Another drug problem we have in society, thanks to the military, is opiate addiction amongst wounded soldiers and sailors who started on morphine on the battlefield. I know a couple of these people. They can be seen getting kicked around the streets of America and in and out of jail and prison. It makes my blood boil.
Also related to all of this is that when the CIA and their proxies the "Contras" flooded black neighborhoods with crack they knew full well the violent devastation it would cause and how to bend it to their rascist political agenda.
The war crime trials at Nuremberg were not enough and we need Nuremberg on steroids now. Our only hope as Americans is to put BushCo and the fascists* on trial ourselves before the rest of the world does it. You don't have to be a rat to leave this sinking ship. You have to be a patriot with a sense of self preservation and decency.

Noel, you're tireless in your efforts to enlighten. Via a mix of dedicated research and personal 1st hand experience, you regularly tell it like it is. I salute you.
Thank you Richard. I try though doubt it warrants a salute. I am just trying to make up for the damage I caused in North Vietnam and add to the public alert as you are.
