The Telling Tale of Heroin Strength

Message Steven G. Erickson

I talk frequently with a retired Narcotics Detective. It is a learning experience for me, every time I talk to him. The strength, availability, and going price of heroin can say volumes.

My friend claims heroin went for about $20 a bag for about 4 to 7% heroin in the 1990's. Rich claims that if a junkie today grabbed a bag, he, or she, would die from an overdose. The heroin today is much better quality and is about 70 percent pure going for $5 a bag.

US Troops are in the center of where heroin comes from, Afghanistan. US Troops are occupying, and have complete control of the major growing region. What does that say?

Police officers use informants to make drug buys. Not all buys are for arrests, they can be "making a case" for long periods of time. Tax dollars are used to buy drugs. Junkies who are informants get paid. These informants can also convert their tax dollar paid pay into drugs to support their habit. If the junkie has no other source of income, then taxpayers are paying for the addiction one way or another. When we are talking about male cops, and many times much younger female police informants, what do you think goes on at least some of the time? Yes, there are as many, plus or minus, male State Registered Confidential Police Informants. What do you think happens to honest citizens raising families, paying taxes, owning homes, who possibly have a small business?

Police officers might know that their informants are breaking into houses, committing sexual assaults, raping, assaulting people, might be involved in prostitution, and other crimes. Many police officers ask these informants to commit crimes, terrorize citizens who get in the way, beat people up, make false complaints, plant evidence, and do what is required for busts, fining, property confiscation, seizing cash, and in making cases. Rich says if a person tries heroin as few times as just once, they're most likely a slave for life, a slave to the drug, or a slave to stay off of it. Junkies are the best liars and will do absolutely anything when they're addicted.

Rich told me that he wasn't allowed to go after certain individuals thought to be drug lords and organized crime figures by his chief. Cash and drugs would come up missing. Payoffs were known to occur. Police Officers, lawyers, prosecutors, and judges who break ranks have to fear retaliation from others.

Most complaints against the "preferred people" can result in retaliation is all sorts of flavors. File a lawsuit and a connected judge will rule, "Summary Judgment for the Defendants," meaning cases are dropped before they even get started. In Los Angeles a credible source claims almost 100 % of judges in the 9th Circuit, where the wave that is the current banking scandal may have started, might all be corrupt and paid off not to prosecute bankster cases.

So, if an official, or citizen, wants to report an operative with official ties, or is an official, involved in the official drug delivery system, the complaint is to deaf ears. Complain to a State's Attorney General, and he, or she, is charge of defending the state. That means the person taking your complaint is in charge of defending the person(s) you are complaining about. If high level bankers are involved in the drug trade, or at least laundering money, what do you think happens to those who try turn in a bankster?

I know a former millionaire in Minneapolis, Minnesota, who tried to turn in a bankster and the Judge who aligned together to rip him off. He is a senior citizen that had a heart attack before, or in prison. The judge had Secret Service, the FBI, and Police Officers show up to his home and hold guns to his head, telling him not to turn in, or complain about the judge who ripped him off according to that Richard. [video of Richard link within this OpEd News post currently being passed around to the House Judiciary Committee]

So, based on the purity of heroin on American streets today, doing the math, why are we really in two wars of occupation? If the US government can give an excuse not to follow the rules prosecuting any citizen, or non-citizen, they don't have to follow the rules in all cases. The US Constitution is null and void. So, if the last resort is our American courts and we go against banksters and their official friends, if we're not toasted or killed just for complaining and informing others, will we see the result of any legitimate case brought against the organized criminals ruled, "Summary Judgment for the Defendants," the case dropped?

If illegal drug sales worldwide make up around one third of bankster money in banks, how eager are even top US officials, really, to do something about the "problem"? Your silence signifies acceptance. So, do you want to be silent and a slave, or vocal and free?
