CBP List Lawyers Reporters Activists "National Security Investigation" Stops



Several people on the list told NBC News they were questioned at the border as part of what U.S. border agents called a "national security investigation."

WASHINGTON — Customs and Border Protection has compiled a list of 59 mostly American reporters, attorneys and activists who are to be stopped for questioning by border agents when crossing the U.S.-Mexican border at San Diego-area checkpoints, and agents have questioned or arrested at least 21 of them, according to documents obtained by NBC station KNSD-TV and interviews with people on the list.
Several people on the list confirmed to NBC News that they had been pulled aside at the border after the date the list was compiled and were told they were being questioned as part of a "national security investigation." . . .

Rejected "War On Drugs" By Latin America After Enduring 40+ Failed Years Of Bloodshed And Misery Under Cynically Bogus Corrupt U.S. Policy Disaster

     Sunday, 17 May 2015, BOGOTA, COLOMBIA - As previously reported here Colombia this week defied 40+ years of U.S. financial and other pressure on sovereign Latin American and other nations refusing to play along any longer as a reluctant forced U.S. "partner" aerial spraying its own land and people with U.S. supplied RoundUp herbicide-homicide poison considered a "crucial aspect" of the D.E.A.'s "Plan Colombia". But this episode highlights just one more incremental U.S. international drug policy blunder in this instance incidentally chemically assaulting human beings and the environment in the ridiculously counterproductive arsenal of idiocy long deployed without regard for consequence in the name of the totally inept endemically corrupt morally bankrupt U.S. cynically bogus permanent welfare fund for hard-partying D.E.A. agent drug cartel buddies and so many parasitic others including in the "law enforcement judicial system prison industries" totally invested for their livelihood in inflicting horrific misery wantonly destroying untold lives of others including their families and children.
     Such is the legacy of the stupendously utterly predictable epic failure of the cynically bogus Nixon-created "war on drugs" idiotically degrading and destroying entire nations and peoples including so many thousands of those incarcerated in the United States meanwhile having created and now generously sustaining the ever-growing monster of continually empowered viciously dangerous deeply entrenched global criminal organizations relying for their constant stream of enormous income on the moronic continuance of obviously idiotic completely failed U.S. drug criminalization policies. Such enormous sums of cash long as well have been known to fund sometimes with C.I.A. assistance terrorist activities once believed presumably "controllable in U.S. interests" but now escalated exponentially worldwide expanded geographically and in strength to the degree believed to pose most serious immediate threats to the national security of the United States.
     Despite the above dismal recounting of the past near half-century of failed U.S. "drug policy" there may be some indication that the United States after 40+ years of promoting and financing at enormous cost little but devastating misery while creating a much more dangerous world for all with near absolute zero success in its stated objectives may finally be recognizing the potentially catastrophic consequences nationally and internationally that may well result if this most hideously dangerous U.S. fabricated so-called "war on drugs" is not tethered and brought to a reasoned halt with all due haste. To wit the following excerpt from the New York Times link below bears insertion here so readers themselves who wish to may assess the degree to which U.S. officialdom at long last may be far too belatedly but nevertheless beginning to acknowledge the magnitude of the U.S. near half-century of grossly erroneous "drug policy" phony "war on drugs" which a sick criminal President resigned in disgrace declared solely for completely unrelated typically delusional self-serving manipulative ends yet has persisted like a zombie on its disastrous course ever since:

"Colombia is one of the closest allies of the United States in Latin America, so its decision to stop aerial spraying was highly symbolic. The tactic was a central part of its American-backed antidrug effort, and Colombia’s decision was made over objections from Washington.
But once it was clear that Colombia would go its own way, Washington’s response was relatively muted, with American officials offering their public support.
The American reaction was a strong contrast to its approach in years past, when Washington would have been much more insistent, analysts said.
“I believe we’re at a transition point right now,” said William R. Brownfield, the American assistant secretary of state for international narcotics and law enforcement affairs.
As former American ambassador to Colombia, he spoke in favor of the coca spraying program before the Colombian government’s decision to end it. But he also said that the dialogue on drug policy in Latin America was a positive development.
“We are effectively in the middle of this discussion,” Mr. Brownfield said. “We should be talking about considering and where appropriate adopting moderate and reasonable reforms to international drug control policy."
     Readers interested in significantly more information about the above including the reaction of other Latin American nations to the U.S. drug policies hoisted or attempted to be on their countries and where those countries stand today such as Bolivia which "kicked out" the D.E.A. in 2009 can go to link below detailing the reactions and attitudes of many of Colombia's Latin American neighbors to the U.S. sponsored indeed created "war on drugs" where no such war nor accompanying extreme bloodshed had existed before.

Heroin Free Delivery Like Pizza To A Nearby Corner Just A Call Away Sweeps Over U.S. As Big Pharma And Physicians Dump Millions Addicted To Opioids

     Sunday, 19 April 2015, NEW YORK, NY - The largely unreported heroin epidemic now raging across the United States as addressed in a recent Ninth Amendment post is the direct result of a massively aggressive campaign (i.e. "pushing drugs") of large pharmaceutical companies' marketing based on obvious lies and compliant physicians obediently "suspending disbelief" that opioids are addictive many of whom in recent years made a fortune and/or generous tax-free "benefits" selling and dispensing opioids in huge numbers greater than any except hypertension medications but now dumping millions of painkiller addicted patients on the streets to become heroin addicts afraid of increased regulatory pressure reportedly with such subtle reminders as "personal visits" by drug enforcement authorities of physicians and even pharmacies notably since recent years' "crackdown" on the opioid and synthetic opioid "painkilllers" such as OxyContin, oxycodone aka Percocet, and most recently rescheduled hydrocodone aka Vicadin aka Lortab aka Norco.
     This of course was just the latest in an abysmally long series of DEA (home of the "international drug cartel prostitute sex party boys") unbelievably misguided, oblivious and/or worse darkly intentional policies "clamping down" on its latest drug scare which policy lays waste to those presumably for whose own good it would "regulate" meanwhile inuring to the direct benefit of those in the drug trade opening up as usual for drug syndicates vast new opportunities for explosive profit via the unregulated "dispensing" of drugs of unknown quality and composition and of course helping to insure the continued seeming perpetual employment of those invested in drug "enforcement" by further extending the permanent robust health of the illegal drug trade. As has been many times observed the DEA policies could not do a better job assisting the drug cartels (who in apparent thanks and encouragement give DEA agents weapons and other bribes and host DEA prostitute sex parties as recently detailed in the Ninth Amendment) than if the drug cartels where establishing the "drug enforcement" laws and policies themselves. This so much belabors the obvious as to be tiresome to repeat ad nauseum.
     Free market pressures coming to the rescue an industrious group from rural Mexico known has the "Xalisco Boys" has as detailed in The New York Times article below developed and is executing a currently apparently ideal local business model controlling manufacture, wholesale and retail sales (even giving free samples like drug reps and making follow-up customer service survey calls) to serve the heroin needs of those across the United States (without an already established heroin dealer home market) with just a telephone call and a nearby pickup of what usually is the less processed heroin known as "black tar" which according to the article can be injected or smoked. Advance planning is essential as The New York Times reports the Xalisco Boys maintain strict business hours of 7 AM to 7 PM. Readers interested in more information including about the reportedly recent threefold increase in largely publicly unreported heroin overdose deaths are directed to the below link.
     THE NINTH AMENDMENT DOES NOT PURPORT TO NOR DOES IT PROVIDE ANY MEDICAL ADVICE WHATSOEVER TO ANY PERSON WHATSOEVER AT ALL. READERS AND ALL IN NEED OF MEDICAL ADVICE MUST CONSULT THEIR PROPERLY LICENSED HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL.

Courageous Texas GOP Polticos Prepare (Photo Op) Take Last Armed Stand Against Sick Starving Children Daring Border Swim

       
        Thursday, 24 July 2014, RIO GRANDE VALLEY, TEXAS - Although they may remember the Alamo but having missed the chance there to take their last stand for the Lone Star State with the likes of fellow real heroes past such as Daniel Boone and Davey Crockett today's brave Republican Texas politicians protected only by body armor and armored vehicles armed only with automatic weapons and mounted machine guns are ready at any personal cost to stop shoeless hungry, sick and starving Mexican and Central American children many seeking asylum dead in their tracks (or in the river trying to learn to swim across) at the Texas border. A crime against the People is a crime against the State. Is that malware in your pocket, Dan, or are you just happy to see me?
