I need to send the following to Matt Drudge, Bill O'Reilly,
Hugh Loebner, Richard Lee, The Seattle Times/PI, and major
news organizations such as ABC, NBC, CBS, 60 Minutes, etc.:
I am writing out of a sense of outrage and frustration at a
great injustice that, I believe, threatens the very foundations of
these United States of America.
The injustice is the Uniform Controlled Substances Act. Its unintended
consequence is the creation of a vast organization that monopolizes
the distribution of cocaine. I have been made aware of the Seattle
crack "Family" which was able to use its monopoly and the immense
resources in manpower and money available to it to illegally surveil
me, trespass against my property, physically intimidate and threaten
me, try to restrict my freedom of speech, try to poison me, and
generally harass me in many other ways. The decisions of the "Family"
are not subject to oversight by any publically-elected body. They are
able to get away with illegal activity, using their money and their
monopoly on crack distribution to keep law enforcement officials at bay.
I invite you to come to Seattle and see for yourself the open dealing
on the streets in Belltown, at the bus stop on 3rd and Pine, both
inside and outside Deano's on 23rd and Madison, in the Jinsonia
apartments at 8th and Seneca (recently the site of two fires). Check
out the ownership of radio station KUBE 93.3 FM. Investigate a rumor I
heard that Governor Gary Locke is involved. Consider Officer Slaughter
of the East Precinct, who was recently convicted of taking drugs from
dealers and giving it to his friends, letting them use drugs in his
patrol car. Is it so hard to imagine other policemen taking bribes?
My motivation in writing this is outrage and disbelief at the impunity
with which the crack "Family" violated my constitutionally guaranteed
rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, privacy, freedom
of speech, freedom from discrimination, freedom from harassment, etc.
First, they hooked me on crack; then, they decide to shut me down, cut
off my medicine. They have made me angry, and all I can do is try to
expose as much of the crack game as I can, in the hope that if it
becomes visible enough people will realize how the illegality of crack
is causing far more problems for our society than the drug itself,
were it legal.
Repeal the Uniform Controlled Substances Act. Take back our country
from hardened criminals whose power derives from crack prohibition.
