U.s. Banks Launder Drug Money, ATF Supplies Guns, and The CIA Supplies Drugs

This may look like old news but it’s not. March 2011 several news agencies reported on events akin to the Iran Contras with the ATF gun smuggling operations and bank drug money laundering.

Summary:

U.S. banks caught laundering drug money, the ATF is allowing illegal guns to pass into Mexico with knowledge that they will be used by the drug cartels and ample evidence of CIA drug smuggling involvement throughout history. Stop the Drug War.

“April 6, 2011

Try dancing to the tune of $378.4 billion in drug money. That is exactly what it seems what Wachovia, who is now owned by Wells Fargo, and Bank of America did from 2004 to 2007. What would happen to any ordinary U.S. citizen if they committed such a crime? They would spend the rest of their life in jail but for the big banks involved it seems to be just a slight “Oopsie, we didn’t see the money quickly enough to catch it” kind of thing. That’s the largest violation of the Bank Secrecy Act, an anti-money-laundering law, in U.S. history – “a sum equal to one-third of Mexico’s current gross domestic product,” according to Bloomberg.”

Feds Remove Anti-Tumor Cannabis Info After Just Days Online

​Just 11 days after adding a section on medical marijuanato its treatment database, the National Cancer Institute has altered the new page, removing any mention of the evidence that marijuana can diminish and even reverse tumor growth.

In an edit appearing Monday afternoon, NCI replaced a sentence about marijuana's direct anti-tumor effect with one saying that it is prescribed mainly to control nausea, pain and insomnia for cancer patients, reports Kyle Daly at The Colorado Independent.

The original language, published to the Web on March 17, had read:

The potential benefits of medicinal Cannabis for people living with cancer include antiemetic effects, appetite stimulation, pain relief, and improved sleep. In the practice of integrative oncology, the health care provider may recommend medicinal Cannabis not only for symptom management but also for its possible direct antitumor effect.

After being changed Monday, it now reads:

The potential benefits of medicinal Cannabis for people living with cancer include antiemetic effects, appetite stimulation, pain relief, and improved sleep. Though no relevant surveys of practice patterns exist, it appears that physicians caring for cancer patients who prescribe medicinal Cannabis predominantly do so for symptom management.

Information which acknowledges that marijuana has been used medicinally for thousands of years was left on the site, as were statements regarding cannabinoids and their benefits in ameliorating the side-effects of conventional cancer treatments.

Was Big Pharm behind the changes? Were the pharmaceutical companies protecting their profits derived from harsh and often ineffective chemotherapy?

Do we live in a free, science-based society or one where medical research can be deleted and ignored for political reasons?
