“Homicides In 4 Cities
Are Spiking to The Highest Levels In 20 Years”
I don't pretend to know all of the causes, but I know for a
fact that a majority of this violent activity is black-on-black. The statistics
tell us that.
It is likely motivated by the drug trade and protection of
territories.
Street drugs like heroin have increased markedly, and that
reflects one thing primarily.
It is America's war in Afghanistan, largely pointless and
highly destructive, which has tremendously boosted the flow of heroin. We know
this from a number of sources.
So, you can probably thank the US Army and the CIA.
Talk about Muslims being responsible, as I see above, is
completely uninformed and badly prejudiced.
The Taleban had drugs completely under control in
Afghanistan before the US stupidly invaded, achieving nothing but a lot of
death and whole new waves of drugs. After all, American official finance some
of their operations off the books this way, and they also encourage various
allied groups to assist by overlooking their drug activity.
It is just one more example of the in-built conflict between
being a world imperial power pushing everyone around and having a government
which concerns itself about its own people and having a decent society.
I had hoped Trump would be able to remedy some of America’s
pointless imperial violence abroad, but it is beginning to look as though he'll
fail.
