What is the greatest threat to our children?
Liberal dogma holds aloft that molestation and child porn are major threats to our children. These are horrible crimes to be sure when they occur, but the very fact that each occurrence is newsworthy underscores the relative rarity of the crimes.
Threats to the children make for good political levers. Hitler used the lie that Jews were sacrificing Christian babies in their temples, just as witch hunters had done centuries before. Feminist extremists shout "molestation" to attack men, and "child porn" to place limits on the internet and the First Amendment.
People can respond to these threats and feel good about themselves that they have responded to the "fashionable" causes and the "politically correct" issues of the day, thereby preening themselves in front of their peers.
But in their zeal to "get" the pornographers and other designated whipping boys, the people (and the media) have allowed themselves to be diverted from a very real and widespread threat to their children, one that cuts a wide swath through all levels of our society, out numbering molestation cases a thousand to one. Cocaine addiction.
As horrible as a sexual assault is, it can be survived. The victim starts the healing process almost immediately.
In contrast, cocaine addiction is an endless hopeless hell where the very soul and personality themselves vanish in the haze that surrounds the hunger for the next hit of cocaine.
When I still lived back in Los Angeles, there was a "Strawberry" living on the block. In street-talk, a strawberry is a woman so hooked on cocaine that she will barter any sexual act for whatever amount of money she needs for that next dosage, even if all she needed to make the buy was another five dollars.
Being forced into sex is bad enough on the self-esteem, but to be reduced to willingly sell yourself for five dollars, for a tiny bag of white powder?
Homeless and pregnant when we moved away, only a few years have passed since she was somebody's little daughter.
So how did this little girl, and the millions just like her, become such hopeless addicts?
Because we live in a society that is set up in such a way as to make the sales of these drugs a far more profitable enterprise than more benign pursuits. In creating a system of drug laws that make crime pay we will inevitably have more crime. It's that simple.
This little girl didn't start out looking to become an addict. Nobody ever does. A dealer gave her a "free sample"; a "loss leader", and nurtured along her addiction, as any salesman will develop an ongoing relationship with their customers.
Why did the dealer do this? Because there's money to be made. Because by going out and seeking children to feed drugs to pays big bucks.
The biggest threat to your children isn't molestation, or child-porn, nor even passenger side air bags.
The biggest threat to your children is cocaine. It's out there. The CIA has been caught allowing it to be sold in Los Angeles, and flying it into Mena Arkansas while Bill Clinton was governor of the state.
And where does that cocaine go? Does the CIA just bury it in some cornfield? Of course not. That cocaine is sold to trusted distributors, who sell it to their dealers, who set out to sell it to your children.
That's where the CIA's cocaine is aimed at, your children, who once addicted, will lie, cheat, steal, and sell their bodies for a few dollars.
The money taken from your children is used to support the CIA's political agenda, which includes contributions to political candidates willing to overlook the CIA's "indiscretions". This includes the governor of the state into which drugs were flown during the Iran-Contra affair, Arkansas.
That governor was Bill Clinton, and a clue to his campaign financing can be found in the fact that four 1992 campaign finance officials have died under suspicious circumstances.
Bill Clinton accepted money from the Lippo Group, itself founded on gun and drug running. Bill Clinton accepted money from known cocaine smuggler Jorge Cabreras. Bill Clinton's campaign has been caught laundering cash donations through a California Buddhist Temple. Bill Clinton's campaign has dozens of contributions listing the DNC's headquarters as the donor's address, and with only a few exceptions, untraceable names as the donors.
And these are just the cases that have come to light.
In his first term as President, Bill Clinton cut the staff of the Office of National Drug Enforcement by 80%, then waived mandatory drug testing for the White House staff, which was later reinstated for certain staffers at FBI insistence.
Talk is cheap, but the real "proof of the pudding" is that despite much Clinton rhetoric on the subject, cocaine usage among our children has doubled since Clinton took office.
The CIA's cocaine cartel DOUBLED IT'S BUSINESS during Clinton's term in office. No Fortune 500 company can boast of similar growth.
That means that where there was one daughter selling herself for five dollars, there are now two. Where there is one son stealing from the cash register, there are two. Where there was one drop-out or expulsion, there are now two. Where one bystander was caught in a drive by shooting, there are now two. Where there was one child dead of an overdose, there are now two overdose victims.
The next one could be your child. Having exhausted the cash of their old customers, the dealers are out there, looking for new customers. Handing out free samples, urging the addictions along, protected from the police by the CIA, as "Freeway Rickey" was protected in Los Angeles.
Before you vote, look at your children. What is the greatest threat to their young lives?
