Pentagon is "Doping" U.S. Armed Forces with "Speed"

Rash of Wife Killings by Special Forces and Bombings of Wrong Targets in Afghanistan May be Due to Drug Induced Paranoia

Los Angeles, Alta California - October 2, 2002- There are two kinds of speed! There is the kind made illegally in motel rooms, in ghetto tenement rooms and in dilapidated trailer camps throughout America and which is increasingly being tied to the most horrific and bloody murders imaginable. There is a second kind of speed that is made in pristine laboratories that have very profitable contracts with the Pentagon. This speed is being provided by the Pentagon to Armed Forces helicopter, fighter plane, and bomber pilots and there is now ample evidence that it is also being provided to other Armed Forces personnel on a routine basis. The effects on the soldiers are no different, when abused, than the effects on civilian dope addicts that buy their speed in the back alleys of America.

The highly illegal and dangerous type of speed called Methamphetamine (Crystal Meth) was originally synthesized by the Nazis and given to their Panzer Divisions and the Luftwaffe in order to give them more endurance in the battle field, however, even the Nazis stopped this practice after noticing bizarre and unpredictable behavior in their soldiers. Many of the Nazis soldiers were going on murderous rampages against civilian populations and some were even turning against their own officers.

Today, the Pentagon has admitted that they provided speed to the U.S Armed Forces during the Gulf War and are doing the same with military personnel in Afghanistan. A report called " Performance Maintenance During Continuous Flight Operations", produced by the Naval Medical Research Laboratory in Pensacola, Florida outlines the Pentagon practice of providing speed to pilots. The report "The Use of Amphetamines in U.S. Air Force Tactical Operations during Desert Shield and Storm", by Emonson DL and Vanderbeek RD outlines the use of speed during the Gulf War. A statement issued by the US Air Force Surgeon General's Office also confirmed the use of amphetamines by pilots. It said: "During contingency and combat operations, aviators are often required to perform their duties for extended periods without rest. While we have many planning and training techniques to extend our operations, prescribed drugs are sometimes made available to counter the effects of fatigue during these operations. The Pentagon, is in addition, providing "downers" after pilots binge on "uppers." In order to help the pilots sleep after a "binge" they are given a dosage of the sedative Temazepam (Restoril). These dosages of "uppers" and than "downers" have a devastating effect on the pilots judgement and overall mental health.

This perhaps explains the "paranoiac behavior" of the U.S. pilots that dropped the bombs on the Afghani Wedding Party and on the friendly Canadian troops. In April of this year, four Canadian soldiers of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry were killed and eight injured when an American pilot dropped a 500lb laser-guided bomb on their position. In addition, many other "friendly fire" incidents and unexplained crashes of numerous helicopters could be explained through the overuse of amphetamines or "speed" by the pilots and other military personnel. Abuse of "speed" causes paranoia, irritability, irrationality and unexplained violent behavior in the user.

Worst of all, it is very possible that the rash of murders of the four Army wives by returning Special Forces from Afghanistan at Fort Bragg may be explained by taking into account the damaging effects of the abuse and addiction to speed. In a "La Voz de Aztlan News Bulletin" we reported, "In a bizarre coincidence during the six week period of June 11 to July 29, four Army soldiers in North Carolina killed their wives. All of the men were assigned to Fort Bragg, N.C. Three had recently returned from Afghanistan and two of of the soldiers committed suicide after killing their spouses." This is classic behavior exhibited by desperate "speed" addicts and abusers.

There are now reliable reports that U.S. Supply Sergeants are making hefty profits through dealing in the Pentagon approved "speed" called Amphetamine-dextroamphetamine or "Dexedrine." Dexedrine is being shipped in large quantities by the Pentagon to front line troops. What is going to happen to American society after all these "speed" addicted soldiers are released into the general civilian population? There are still a large number of homeless ex-Vietnam veterans wondering the streets of America because they became addicted to heroin while serving overseas. At that time, the use of heroin and marijuana was rampant among U.S. soldiers serving in the jungles of Vietnam. This was one of the primary reason the U.S. lost that war to the Vietcong and the Vietnamese Regulars.

The Medical Profession says this about the Pentagon supplied "speed" called Dexedrine:

"Manifestations of chronic intoxication with Dexedrine include severe insomnia, irritability, hyperactivity, and personality changes. The most severe manifestation of chronic intoxication is psychosis, often clinically indistinguishable from schizophrenia. Because of possible overstimulation, Dexedrine may impair the ability of the patient to perform potentially hazardous activities such as operating machinery or driving a motor vehicle; therefore, the patient should be cautioned accordingly. Symptoms include dilated and reactive pupils, shallow rapid respiration, rhabdomyolysis, fever, chills, sweating, and hyperactive tendon reflexes (Note: this one effect may explain the "pushing of the trigger" on the Wedding Party and on the Canadians) . Central effects may include restlessness, aggressiveness, anxiety, confusion, delirium, hallucinations, panic attacks and even suicidal or homicidal tendencies (Note: this affect may explain the killing of the Army wives and subsequent suicides). The stimulant effect is usually followed by depression, lethargy, and exhaustion."

La Voz de Aztlan cautions all families with sons in the US Armed Forces who may be returning home from Afghanistan. Look for the obvious signs of abuse and addiction to the Pentagon supplied drug called Dexedrine. It is a dangerous drug that may cause unexplained violent behavior in the user especially if the user is withdrawing from the drug for lack of its availability at home. We encourage our readership to contact their respective elected government representatives and ask for a thorough congressional investigation on this heinous "doping" of America's fighting men by the Pentagon.

These Memories

By John Trudell

In the reality of many realities
how we see what we see
affects the quality - of our reality

we are... these memories - running through your veins
racing across your mind, beating in your heart

human being, physical spirit, bone, flesh, blood as spirit

we are in time and space, but we are from beyond time and space
the past is part of the present, the future is part of the present
life and being- are interwoven

we are DNA
earth, moon, planets, stars
we are related to the universe

creator created creation
spirit and intelligence with clarity
being and human as power

we are part of the memories of evolution
these memories carry knowledge
these memories carry our identity

beneath race, gender, class, age
beneath citizen, business, state, religion

we are human beings, being human

we are human being
and these memories are needing to remind us
human beings, human beings, it is time to rise up
and remember, who we are... who we are... we are...

These Memories

"War is a poor chisel for carving a peaceful tommorow"- MLK

In 1999, there was a trial that presented evidence of State involvement
in the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King. The State was found guilty, at
all levels: local, state and fed. Put that it your pipe and toke it up.

"In answer to the question did Loyd Jowers participate in a conspiracy to
do harm to Dr. , your answer is yes. Do you also find that others,
including governmental agencies, were parties to this conspiracy as alleged
by the defendant? Your answer to that one is also yes. And the total
amount of damages you find for the plaintiffs entitled to is one hundred
dollars. Is that your verdict? -The Honorable James E. Swearengen
(Division 4, judge presiding

"yes"- the jury

So why exactly did the govt kill MLK? Maybe because he said things like
this:

A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military
defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death... We can no longer afford to worship the god of hate or bow
before the altar of retaliation. The oceans of history are made turbulent
by the ever-rising tides of hate. History is cluttered with the wreckage
of nations and individuals that pursued this self-defeating path of hate.
--Martin Luther King

Here are some excerpts of the closing statement made by Dr. Pepper.

"When Martin King opposed the war, when he rallied people to oppose the
war, he was threatening the bottom lines of some of the largest defense
contractors in this country. This was about money. When he threatened
to bring that war to a close through massive popular opposition, he was
threatening the bottom lines of some of the largest construction
companies, one of which was in the State of Texas, that patronized the
Presidency of Lyndon Johnson and had the major construction contracts at
Cam Ran Bay in Vietnam. This is what Martin King was challenging. He was
challenging the weapons industry, the hardware, the armament industries,
that all would lose as a result of the end of the war". -Dr. William
Pepper, Attorney for King Family

"On behalf of the family of Martin Luther King, Jr., on behalf of the
people of the United States, I ask you to find for the plaintiff and find
that conspiracy existed and that those conspirators involved not only the
defendant here but we're dealing in conspiracy with agents of the City of
Memphis and the governments of the State of Tennessee and the United
States of America.
We ask you to find that conspiracy existed and once and for all give this
plaintiff family justice and let's cleanse this city and this nation of the
ignorance that has pervaded this case for so long. Let the truth reign in
this courtroom once and for all.
Along with arranging for the assassination, CIA and military disclosure
confirm that corporate media collude with political “leadership” to
disinform the American public on strategic military, policy, and economic
issues. This answers the question why corporate media have not covered
the civil trial and verdict for MLK’s assassination." -Dr. William Pepper

The sixties was the beginning of the rise of the propaganda state in the
US, and the media circus.
Science, like all else, was no longer a matter of sober research and
rigorous work, it was a
matter of public relations. - Miles Mathis

It seems that the circus rumbles on-
"manufacturing consent is the name of the game, the bottom line is money, nobody gives a f*#k" - System of a Down

So maybe, instead of focusing on the 'civil rights' work of MLK, we could all look and think a little bit deeper and really understand the 'writing on the wall'. 'Cause you can bet on the fact that you won't hear this story on the Propaganda War Machine News Media. Peace.
