The illegal drug trade is created by outlawing and restricting a good or
service, therefore, the mandate and legislative authority of the DEA is
the primary cause of illegal drug trading and its surrounding violence.
The enforcement of federal drug policy removes every 'drug' scheduled
for DEA enforcement from the protection of the open market
infrastructure, where information and commerce mutually exchanged from
consenting parties are free and protected by free information,
contractual obligations, property rights, and disputes resolution are
adjudicated under the rule of law. With the removal of the protection
under the rule of law; this subjects the good in question into a
marketplace of coercion. Mutual exchange is subject to property rights
violations by coercion through monopoly of force. It is this type of
legal environment, which is known as a black market, the underground
nature of these marketplaces makes legal enforcement of disclosure
requirements and contractual obligations impossible. With both secrecy
and lack of legal contractual obligations, grievances are no longer
recognized under the law. With no possibility for legal redress, the
participants who wish to engage in commerce may only enforce contractual
agreements directly.
The difficulty of direct enforcement in the
black market creates a demand for an alternative arbitrator to handle
disputes. An arbitrator's desirability is measured by its enforcement
capability and legitimacy within the black market. This legitimacy is
based on reputation and recognition. Thus, competing arbitrators in
black markets attempt to gain reputability through organization. As
competing arbitrators attempt to increase their reputation by expanding
the territory over which they operate they often bribe or blackmail
members of the legal and law enforcement systems in order to continue
operation without legal harassment. Since these arbitrator organizations
are not legally recognized, organizations materialize in the form of
street gangs or organised crime. The DEA essentially cites the
arbitrators' means of enforcement, which usually take the form of
intimidation, violence and/or kidnapping, as the primary byproduct of
the good being exchanged, justifying continued measures to hunt sellers
and buyers. Despite criticism for forcing participants into black
markets and driving the violence surrounding drug trade by targeting all
buyers and sellers, the DEA's position is that the very transaction is
the cause of violence, and has repeated on various occasions to have
been successful at preventing violence and creating a safer marketplace.
In
2005, the DEA seized a reported $1.4 billion in drug trade related
assets and $477 million worth of drugs.[20] According to the White
House's Office of Drug Control Policy, the total value of all of the
drugs sold in the U.S. is as much as $64 billion a year,[21] giving the
DEA an efficiency rate of less than 1% at intercepting the flow of drugs
into and within the U.S. Critics of this theory (including recipient of
the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, Milton Friedman, prior
to his death a member of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition) point out
that demand for illegal drugs is inelastic; the people who are buying
drugs will continue to buy them with little regard to price, often
turning to crime to support expensive drug habits when the drug prices
rise. One recent study showed that the price of cocaine and
methamphetamine is the highest it has ever been while the quality of
both is at its lowest point ever.[22] This is contrary to a collection
of data done by the Office of National Drug Control Policy, which states
that purity of street drugs has increased, while price has
decreased.[23][24][25] In contrast to the statistics presented by the
DEA, the United States Department of Justice released data in 2003
showing that purity of methamphetamine was on the rise.[26]

Reporters Confirm Over 1,200% Higher Than Normal Radiation Levels At CA Beach
Read More Here: http://www.infowars.com/1400-radiatio...
Infowars.com has send a group of reporters armed with geiger counters to the Pacific coast to do what the government and MSM should be doing.
Following reports of abnormally high radiation readings on a beach in San Francisco, experts have discovered radiation hot spots measuring 1,400 per cent above normal background levels, although they are keen to stress there is no link to Fukushima.
GERALD CELENTE ~ 2014 Trends/ Bible Prophecy - Coast To Coast Am - January 5 2014
GERALD CELENTE ~ 2014 Trends/ Bible Prophecy - Coast To Coast Am - January 5 2014
Guests: Gerald Celente, M.G. Michael
In the first half, trends analyst Gerald Celente joined George Noory to talk about economic trends for 2014. One of the big trends for the new year is what he calls the "self sufficiency economy." The US has human and natural resources that are unparalleled, and could be far less reliant on buying goods from other countries, he remarked. The majority of Americans are not benefiting from free trade and globalization, he continued, and their standard of living has declined dramatically since NAFTA and banking deregulations. We may end up paying a little more for consumer goods but we'll earn a lot more for making them, Celente noted. "We need to keep our production and our capacity at home."
In other economic trends, he cited the US government's plan to taper down stimulus money, cutting back around $10 billion a month beginning in March. This tapering will likely lead to higher interest rates, which will hurt the economy, he said, adding that if the interest rate goes over 5%, "you're going to see a real downdraft in the housing market." Celente also suggested that China was facing economic woes with a debt problem, and a "bubble they can't deflate."

"Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson Ignites A Revolution
"Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson stared down the powerful forces of
Hollywood, and Hollywood blinked! As a result, people are coming out of
the closet. But they aren't gay. They are Christians and conservatives. A
duck hunter may have fired the shot that ignited a new American
Revolution.
The Alex Jones Show(Commercial Free AUDIO) Wednesday January 8 2014: Poison Surrounds Us
Today -
On this Wednesday, January 8 edition of the Alex Jones Show, Infowars Nightly News host David Knight breaks down the latest in radiation leaks, mass fluoridation and the government's poisonous atmosphere of distrust. Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates now admits that the Obama administration has been "poisoning the well" against military leadership, often showing condescending attitudes towards senior officers. In other news, an electrical engineer simply waved his Geiger counter around at a beach near San Francisco and got a startling reading: 14 times the normal level of radiation. Paul Joseph Watson joins the show to discuss this discovery and the latest developments on the Fukushima radiation leaks. Jakari Jackson and the Infowars field crew give a report on the radiation levels from outside San Francisco. Lee Ann McAdoo also joins the show from Austin City Hall where two patriots continue their hunger strike in protest of Austin's forced fluoridation of the water supply.

North America Colder than Planet Mars
The cold snap gripping many parts of the United States and Canada has
brought record-breaking icy temperatures lower than the surface of Mars.
The chill, which has been named the Polar Vortex, has brought in frigid air from the Arctic. The town of Embarrass, Minnesota recorded the lowest temperature in the U-S on Tuesday at minus thirty-seven degrees Celsius. In Canada, Toronto's Pearson Airport temporarily halted ground operations because of equipment freezing and concerns for the safety of airport personnel. Wind chill factors as low as minus fifty degrees Celsius plunged the western Prairies region into a deep freeze.
