There are mountains of evidence proving that the biggest importers of harmful, addictive, mind diminishing street drugs is the government. The drug laws that exist do not apply t o the government agencies that bring these substances to our country. They are only designed to keep everyone else from this extremely lucrative business and give the establishment another reason to oppress people.

CASH DASH, GOP SENATE CONTENDERS EDITION -  Two Republicans battling for their party's nomination to take on Sen.  Elizabeth Warren  this fall have announced their quarterly fundraising numbers. The timing is especially important: Massachusetts Republicans will gather at the party's state convention in Worcester on April 28, so this is one of the last, best chances for campaigns to show signs of viability. Beth Lindstrom , a GOP campaign operative, reports this morning she raised $303,000 in the first quarter of 2018 - coming from 6,800 donors across all 50 states, at an average of $85.

Must Reads: R. Kelly's #MeToo reckoning, Charlie Rose's enablers, and Erik Prince's China

Image
Compelling, ambitious reads you can’t afford to miss. When national arts reporter Geoff Edgers started working on his penetrating look at years of sexual abuse allegations involving R&B superstar R. Kelly, he was worried he wouldn't be able to uncover anything new. Kelly's behavior, which included marriage to then-15-year-old singer Aaliyah and a video that appeared to show him having sex with a 14-year-old, was well known. But Edgers, with encouragement from his editor, Christine Ledbetter, focused his reporting on the industry that enabled Kelly's career to flourish amid one disturbing scandal after another.  "How do you ignore something like this for so long?" Edgers said he asked himself. "How does that happen? You trace it back to the money, and who are the people who benefited?" Edgers, who also hosts a podcast called Edge of Fame, called, emailed and texted the people who knew the answers to those questions dozens of time...

Compelling, ambitious reads you can’t afford to miss. Must Reads: 'Crisis actors' and the Internet's 'firehose of hatred' Craig Timberg had never spent time on the anonymous and often ugly online forum 8chan. Then he and Drew Harwell, both national technology reporters, spent days combing through some of the Internet's darkest corners after 17 people were killed at a high school in Parkland, Fla. They were trying to conduct a "forensic investigation of conspiracy theories," Timberg said, to understand how false stories about "crisis actors” took root on 8chan, 4chan, Reddit and then spread on social media. "Both Drew and I were curious if we could get closer to what happened," said Timberg, who has spent 20 years at The Post covering everything from the Virginia legislature to post-apartheid South Africa. Timberg used search and privacy tools Duck Duck Go and Tor to find the forum's most revealing threads and "re...
