A Narco Democracy

The winner of Afghanistan's elections last month was: the Warlord party! "More than 80 percent of winning candidates in provinces and more than 60 percent in the capital Kabul have links to armed groups," AIHRC (Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission) deputy chairman Ahmad Fahim Hakim said on Monday, adding some were notorious warlords. This is a total subversion of the democratic process.

It continues: "We are already a narco-state," says Mohammad Nader Nadery at the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission, which has studied the growing impunity of former military commanders and drug dealers who now work within the Afghan government. Here's an insiders view: Abdul Karim Brahowie, Afghanistan's minister of tribal and frontier affairs, says that the government has become so full of drug smugglers that cabinet meetings have become a farce. "Sometimes the people who complain the loudest about theft are thieves themselves," he says.

So, this is what happens what international power elites, who don't actually believe in Jeffersonian gov't-by-consent-of-the-governed, *say* that they believe in such government.

The power elites talk up the value of "democracy," i.e. Diebold-controlled fraudulent elections, for every country on Earth.

The U.S. rubberstamps Halliburton's decision to blow up a country and install "democracy." This is colonialism with a new face.

The people being colonized don't like being colonized and try to get the international power elite to admit that "democracy" is a hoax.

The power elite refuses to admit that it is lying.

The colonized people deal drugs from the most convenient place, which turns out to be the seat of "democracy."

And in the end, the power elite wins, because the power elite is what keeps the "war on drugs" going.

So this is really a win.
