This Is Kerry On Drugs By Dave Kopel and Mike Krause
Source: Reason Magazine July 15, 2004
For those who oppose the federal government's disastrous war on drugs, there are
many
things to dislike about the Bush Administration, not the least of which is its
shameless—and dangerous—use of the war on terror to prop up the failed drug war
and the
accompanying $18 billion dollar bureaucracy. And there is no indication that
four more
years of a Bush presidency will offer anything but more of the same. But anyone
who
thinks a vote for John Kerry means a vote for a more liberalized approach to
drug
policy should think again. Candidate Kerry's choice for Homeland Security
Advisor, Rand
Beers, is a seasoned drug warrior who has already shown his loyalty to the well
being
of the drug war, no matter how many lives it destroys, or how many narco-
terrorists
are enriched along the way. Read More...

Mr. RoundUp, Hisself, is sitting on Kerry's shoulder, whispering in his ears.
The man
who pushed for the spraying of helpess Colombian peasents with untested
herbicides is
John Kerry's foreign policy advisor. That alone gives me the very legitimate
concern
that a President Kerry will conduct 'business as usual' in continuting the
DrugWar into
it's 9th decade.

I also found that a relative of Rand Beers, Henry Augustin Beers, was a Skull

Consider, then, that Rand Beers speaks for people in powerful positions who want
to
retain their powerful positions, and his rhetoric is a testament only to his
loyalty to
the powers that be, who make their money and obtain their power by maintaining
the
status quo.I'm sure I could dig up more on this guy, but the above should
suffice to
show that this man is little more than a mouthpiece for vested interests. Dan B

Toxic Drift: Monsanto and the Drug War in Colombia
by Jeremy Bigwood, Special to CorpWatch June 21st, 2001
A prominent U.S. Senator and other government officials from both Washington and
Bogotá
stood on a Colombian mountainside above fields of lime-green coca -- the plant
sacred
to Andean Indians, but also the source of the troublesome drug cocaine. They
were
awaiting a demonstration of aerial herbicide spraying, part of the U.S. drug war
in
Colombia. The spectacle, put on by the U.S. embassy in Bogotá last December, was
supposed to address Senator Paul Wellstone's doubts about the accuracy and
safety of
the U.S.-sponsored drug fumigation program. Wellstone, a Democrat from
Minnesota, is a
fierce critic of military aid to Colombia and the demonstration needed to come
off
without a hitch, to win him over to the use of aerially sprayed herbicides. The
night
before, U.S. officials had responded to the Senator's skeptical questions by
assuring
him that the spraying would target coca fields without harming food crops.

"They had said that by using satellite images they could hit very precisely
targets
without any chance of danger to surrounding crops" said Jim Farrell, Wellstone's
spokesperson, who was also there. However that turned out not to be the case.
"On the
very first flyover by the cropduster, the U.S. Senator, the U.S. Ambassador to
Colombia, the Lieutenant Colonel of the Colombian National Police, and other
Embassy
and congressional staffers were fully doused -- drenched, in fact -- with the
sticky,
possibly dangerous (herbicide) Roundup."

"Imagine what is happening when a high-level congressional delegation is not
present,"
Farrell noted, pointing out that careful preparation had gone into the botched
flyover.
Wellstone left Colombia completely unconvinced by the Embassy.

The United States has sprayed tons of Roundup and Roundup Ultra, produced by the
St.
Louis-based chemical and biotechnology giant, Monsanto, during the 24 year-long
drug
war in Colombia. The use of these herbicides (both of which we refer to as
Roundup in
this story) has consistently produced health complaints from campesinos in the
Colombian countryside. Those complaints have gone largely ignored by government
officials in Washington and corporate honchos within Monsanto. Meanwhile,
Monsanto's
sordid history as the manufacturer of Agent Orange, a defoliant used during the
Vietnam
war, raises serious questions about its role in Colombia's drug war and the need
for
transparency in its dealings with Washington.
