I started read the SF Chronicle before i was in 3rd grade, loved that newspaper. it was well written and had some of the best talent on the west coast, Herb Caen the toast of the Town and the paper. When i moved out of the house continued to buy the paper for no other reason than Herb Caen. If the talent is there, people will buy it.
Its why i visit PJM. I may agree with little here, but there are talented writers that make the visit valuable.
Drugs;
I live in China and get a completely different picture of the landscape in regards to drugs. England invaded China in the 1800′s to enforce the Heroin trade, bringing in the drug from Afghanistan and India. When China resisted and tried to close down the drug trade, England sent the army to force Heroin trade into China. Western Government involvement in the present day global drug trade is a given.
Hong Kong was the spoils of those wars, England returning Hong Kong to China in 1997.
Governments make incredible amounts of money from the drug trade, and have been for thousands of years, this is nothing new. Sending armies in to secure and maintain drug routes, usually into countries other than their own. When a group becomes large enough to compete with a particular Govt’s drug monopoly, or attempt to cut off the trade as in China, Govt’s will send in the troops.
President Obama
Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. The country didn’t go from one extreme to the other, it went further in the same direction.
Request;
Would love to see an article on the recent moves by Saudi Arabia dropping the West Texas Intermediate oil contract. This happened last week. Next week, Iran initiates trade on its electronic board on Kish Island.
These two events will cause ripples through the Petro Dollar system, the foundation for the United States Dollar since 1971.
