How the Deep State Won the War on Drugs

“In my 30­ year history in the Drug Enforcement Administration and related agencies, the major targets of my investigations almost invariably turned out to be working for the CIA.” — Dennis Dayle, former chief of an elite DEA enforcement unit.Show more

Over 100,000 lives continue to be lost to overdose each year in the US. The War on Drugs is a racket designed to fund covert, black budget US operations and inflate the budgets of law enforcement agencies and the incarceration industry. While the War on Drugs targeted every day people, this war protected the activities of the rich and powerful: military-intelligence interests within the US government, big banks, Big Pharma, and drug cartels.

In this 15-min video, we present the most reliable and relevant information on this issue, including promising solutions and remedies to the War on Drugs.

Welcome to our Mindful News Brief series where we discuss the news with nuance, uncensored investigation, and compassion for all sides. And no matter the topic, we always end our news briefs on an inspiring, constructive note.

It may be tempting to blame the US government as a whole for these crimes. However, most people in government are largely unaware of these crimes against humanity that we document. In fact, most people in our government wouldn’t allow such atrocities to occur. Yet entrenched bureaucracy and secrecy oaths provide cover for unaccountable national security and intelligence interests.

We define the Deep State as a vast network of government and corporate powers who advance their own agenda regardless of who is elected into office. They operate with little oversight and regulation. Rather than functioning as a unified group of elites seeking world domination, the interests of different factions of the Deep State often collide and compete with each other. However, what these factions have in common is immensely profiting from war and human suffering, like the unelected officials in this video who have played a massive role in policies and national security objectives. The Deep State is not the Blue or Red party, but the Money party that corrupts both sides of the political aisle.

Let’s work together across our political and cultural differences to end the corrupt war on drugs and repair our broken communities.

Disturbing information like this can paradoxically remind us of the greater good. It is the courage of the people and the love for the common good that bring these injustices to light—fueling uncensored dialogue and constructive action.
