90. I don't believe it was coincidence that Reagen also worked to turn journalism into

monopolized propaganda.

This made it was easier to brain wash the American People in to believing that turning a medical, educational and right of privacy issue in to a criminal one would be a wise and or moral decision.

I believe the un-winnable Orwellian "War Against Drugs"; is actually a long term national security threat. By serving to disenfranchise the American People from their government, thereby weakening the government and aiding the cause of corporate supremacy over the people and by extension corporate supremacy over the government; itself.

The effect is to continually diminish the government's true moral power that of "deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed" by giving veto power to the corporations via their lobbyists and as the pool of consent is shrunk, the government is weakened.
