Drugs and the Pentagon
Pervitin, was the drug distributed to fighters of the Nazi German army, which transformed ordinary soldiers into fighters for 72 hours that was the time needed to advance on Belgium in the second world war.
The secret of the Nazi soldiers were doses of methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin that gave no time for enemies to defend themselves or to reorganize, or to rest, or to feed, the enemies did not resist.
During the 8 years of the war in Vietnam, soldiers never complained about the lack of marijuana or any drug they wanted, they were prohibited, but there was never a lack of marijuana for anyone who wanted it. I always wondered about what scheme allowed soldiers to never run out of drugs, nothing ever appeared in the press about any military trafficker, so the big question was: what was marijuana trafficking like in Vietnam to supply US troops.
The Pentagon's big mystery is keeping its soldiers away from drugs that can improve combat performance while keeping soldiers away from drugs that can have health-degrading side effects?
They are banned drugs and most of them illegal, although marijuana is no longer on the banned drug lists, although cocaine and heroin are part of a historic process of trade disputes between producing and importing countries, as were many opium wars. in India, in Singapore, in Hong Kong; The cocaine story ends when the US government fails to tax the gigantic amount of dollars drained into Colombia by Colombian billionaire traffickers.
So, like the opium war, the main argument for drug prohibition was economic, it wasn't a health concern, but the LSD case was a tragedy that involved a suicide, so the drug LSD was put on the safety priority in the US. , was a threat to the physical and psychiatric integrity of the American population.
When the state and governments discover a way to gain an advantage in a war, they will not avoid obtaining this advantage for themselves, which is what Hitler did with the adoption of Pervitin in the Nazi infantry. Today we would not know whether any army in the world knowingly applies any stimulant drug to its troops. But, on the other hand, we know of the indiscriminate use by the fighters in Vietnam of all the drugs that soldiers could buy with their own money to help improve their combat performance, and to ward off fear and panic, to distract and relax. from the madness of war and terror-filled guerrilla warfare to traps and poisons spread by enemies in the murderous jungles of Vietnam.
So the Pentagon turned a blind eye to the indiscriminate use of illicit drugs by US fighters in Vietnam, and it didn't even have to spend money on the expensive drugs, it didn't have the logistics for distribution and the responsibility for the side effects, so it was ok.
But there was public opinion watching and the awareness that the degradation of the soldiers' health would return them sick to North American society, but, to calm public opinion, the solution was right there in the same drugs. When the North American population received the veterans of Vietnam, they also brought the solution to calm public opinion against the war and against the soldiers themselves psychically mutilated by wars and drugs.
So an equally drugged public opinion, doped with narcotics, becomes docile, doesn't complain about state policy, is happy or apathetic, doesn't bring problems to politics if it has cocaine, marijuana, beer to embalm itself and annul and dampen its anxieties and not even they understand the internal police, and not the external police, they don't care about political parties, and if they have an opt-in vote, they will never understand what politicians are up to.
Cocaine and marijuana are part of the American nation's grand plan to keep public opinion under control and politicians are the only ones who need to take care of Americans' lives, they make the elite that controls everything in the USA without the problem of public opinion, and when any organization begins to mobilize public opinion quickly, it is diverted to collateral issues of no real importance such as global warming, the feminist struggle, environmental conservation of forests and the preservation of whales and Antarctica, something that distracts the population that still did not get drugged or addicted, but soon, the new drugs are gradually reaching the rest of the population that still resists drug use such as evangelicals, Muslims and Christians in general who resist leaving the moral and political wake , these have not yet been properly controlled and will be fought if it is possible to undo the most central circle of religion which is the family.
