Where the initiation of deadly force leads(link)

SEC. 27. In all cases in which intoxicating liquors may be subject to be destroyed under the provisions of this Act the court shall have jurisdiction upon the application of the United States attorney to order them delivered to any department or agency of the United States Government for medicinal, mechanical, or scientific uses, or to order the same sold at private sale for such purposes to any person having a permit to purchase liquor the proceeds to be covered into the Treasury of the United States to the credit of miscellaneous receipts, and all liquor heretofore seized in any suit or proceeding brought for violation of law may likewise be so disposed of, if not claimed within sixty days from the date this section takes effect.

SEC. 28. The commissioner, his assistants, agents, and inspectors, and all other officers of the United States, whose duty it is to enforce criminal laws, shall have all the power and protection in the enforcement of this Act or any provisions thereof which is conferred by law for the enforcement of existing laws relating to the manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquors under the law of the United States.

Robbers with badges?(link)

Here we have condemnation proceedings of a sort where goods, assets are seized and forfeited to men with guns who may then tie them to railroad tracks or sell them as described by Lysander Spooner in 1868. The men with guns are protected from all liability for death and damage arising from their use of deadly force wielded to prevent production and trade (baaad) through violence (goood). 

As time goes by, new pretexts are added to allow gunmen to rob passengers, pedestrians, drivers or deliverymen without so much as bringing any charges or benefit of arraignment. What happens when the race goes not to the ablest at production, but to the most ruthless at brutality?(link)

Herbert Hoover and Adolf Hitler

  Herbert Hoover tosses Moratorium Bait to Europeans The Great War of 1914-1918 resulted in the Versailles surrender treaty and several Armistice agreements, all of them bristling with references to chemical drugs and narcotics nobody ever mentions. The Versailles treaty also demanded that Germany pay for damage done by WW1. The US refused to charge Germany reparations but did expect repayment of loans taken by many European nations during that war. Those worthies in turn demanded the German reparations out of which they imagined they'd pay those loans outstanding. Thirteen years later Germans ans everyone else were trying everything to get out of those payments. Herbert Hoover "seen his chance" to fasten on another narcotics convention building onto seldom-mentioned  narotics limitation plans advanced in 1929 and 1930 within the League of Nations.   On 22APR1931 the Hoover Administration roped Germany  into an Extradition Treaty not very different from one entered into

The Versailles Prohibition Treaty

  The Versailles pact was the successful outcome of China using the USA to ban plant products Go ahead and ask Google : "What did the Versailles treaty do?" The corporate answers are dissembling lies. Americans, who mostly have never read the treaty or its Siamese-Twin corollary, the Charter of the League of Nations, are surprised, shocked, to learn the conflict is rooted in events of 1836.  Americans are vaguely aware there was a "Panic" in 1837, with financial crashes, a severe economic depression and considerable violence in the streets.  Stories cobbled to explain away the whole thing abound. Democrats urge readers to accept Andrew Jackson's suspicion of a central bank as the sole and ultimate cause. Republicans smugly add that charging payment in gold for government (meaning Indian) land caused a liquidity crunch. None of the stories mention that Mexico was China's trading partner , or that Texas was at war with Mexico in 1836 . Nor will the reader se
