"40 Years, $1 Trillion, 45 Million Arrests: The Truth About the War on Us"

"40 Years, $1 Trillion, 45 Million Arrests: The Truth About the War on Us"

"Transforming Truth to Power, One Broadcast At A Time"

What began as a flourish of campaign rhetoric in 1968 has grown into a monster. And while nobody claims that the War on Drugs is a success, nobody suggests an alternative. Because to do so is political and profit suicide. As a community we need to understand how Drug War fever has been escalated; who has benefited along the way; and how the mounting price in dollars, lives, and liberties has been willfully ignored. IT WAS NEVER ABOUT DRUGS

We will review and examine the truth about the policies and intent of the "War on Drugs". We need to talk about the money making behind the politics; how the drug war can be considered slow Nazi policy on the poor and the racial profiling used. We look at these destructive and failed policy and manipulation in its historical context and destructive outcomes.
