LaRouche Fields Question on Opium War

Query to LaRouchePAC Subject: Opium War

So I was contacted by one of your callers yesterday as I am about once a month. I love listening to your proposals and love the individual I normally talk with as he keeps me informed on world happenings. I am a young 27 year old man that loves politics and focuses on the real world and try to deter those that have their focuses on the material/ entertainment world in attempt to "wake-up" those around me. I wish I knew more that I do about history and ALL the things that go around me. However as a middle class working man I find most of my focuses on just that, working. It is pleasant to hear from your supporters or campaigners if you will as it is my call back to "reality." It is too easy to get sucked in to the mind control device of society.

I have since reviewed your two videos on the Obama Opium war. I feel it is a clever and very strategic move. However in the video it was proposed that we "bomb the shit out of their Fields" and immediately get out of there. I recognized an immediate fallacy in this thinking and did some research. It only take 100 or so growing days to have a new crop of poppies at it's maximum euphoric producing capabilities from planting date to harvest. So in 100 or so days as they live on their "savings" we are stuck in the same situation. I wanted to pass this by and get your feelings and thoughts on this. Thank you and all others that promote an opportunity to think beyond what we witness from the talking heads. I have made contributions to the Larouche PAC in the past and will do so again sometime in the future.

LaRouche replies:

Your pitch evades the actual strategic issue, an issue which I have stated very clearly, as being a strategic issue, not a mere agricultural issue.

The drug traffic which depends upon the production of opium is the world's greatest immediate form of strategic threat to civilization, one, represented by our nation's actual enemy, which is British empire at this present moment. The immediate destruction of that production and traffic must occur now as an act of eradication now.

The treatment of the farmers who are forced into the crop by the British empire is another matter. Commit us to pay them promptly, promised in advance, for immediately destroying their crop; put them back into their former, non-opium, non-hashish, agricultural programs, and get all foreign combat forces out of Afghanistan, especially British forces and their accomplices. The task is not the eradication of poppies, but the eradication of the British operations against the USA, and also others in Asia including India, Pakistan, China, and Russia, which requires eliminating the opium poppies immediately.

In the meantime, under present global strategic conditions, any gradual steps would be just another fraud, in effect. The British empire is pushing dope, as it has done since the 1790s; it is using its drug traffic as a strategically significant part of its threats to the U.S.A. and other nations, and doing this under the protection of a mentally sick British-created and British-controlled puppet-President, Obama, which London is presently setting up, like a spent cartridge, for another kind of eradication.
