The Scam of Prohibition




What was really the cause/purpose behind alcohol prohibition in the United States? Did you also know that it dovetailed with the prohibition on Cannabis, also?
I think by now, most people know that what we’re told by the news media is so removed from any kind of truth/fact, that it’s probably not worth the time it takes to watch it.
Not so long ago, technology exploded into the mainstream with such velocity that it seemed almost purposeful, like it couldn’t be held back anymore.

At the turn of the century, the media was just as controlled, and the controllers knew how important it was to their success in all aspects of our lives. You only have to put yourselves within the imaginary shoes of those that hid in the shadows of the shadows. That may sound overly, or overtly melodramatic but just imagine for a moment that you controlled the very essence/energy of all human endeavor. Imagine you fabricated, invented the bridge, the lifeblood of industry, and controlled every step of its existence.

Money.

But this isn’t about money, because to these people, it was an abstract of control, it was/is a tool of ‘spells’ and manipulation. So, using money/debt as a system to meet their ends became a valuable tool of manipulation. It was never a concern as to ‘how much’ anything would cost, but more a question of ‘how soon’ the ends could be completed. I’m trying to make as succinct a point as brief as possible without boring to many with dates and names. As always, if you’re so inclined to pursue the truth, it’s never been more open and available to prove or disprove any and everything you read or care about. So don’t take my word for a word of this, only remember this: I have no agenda other than uncovering the lies and deceit that have been heaped upon us for the last few hundred years or more. 

When this technology first appeared nearing the turn of the century, it was picked over by wealthy industrialists with their own interests at heart. There were secret societies, there were ulterior motives, there were those men in the shadows that have avoided any recording of their existence in the books of history. Those books were of their design, they owned the printing presses, they owned the editors of all the major newspapers, they owned the owners.

This was world wide control by the hidden few. They formed the US patent and trademark offices to use as a personal clearing houses procuring or suppressing anything they could not control. 
The excerpt below is from the article ‘Serendipity’ by Merge Divide.


"The most fascinating aspect of the connection between alcohol and fuel use concerns a little known (or discussed) aspect of American history. To understand this relationship, one must examine some contextual information of the early Twentieth Century. Most people are not aware that Henry Ford's Model T came in a variation that allowed the driver to switch the carburetor to run the engine on farm-made ethyl alcohol. 

This allowed the operator to stop at local farms (equipped with stills) to refuel his/her car during long trips through the backcountry. After all- the gas station wasn't exactly as ubiquitous in those days, as it is now. The Standard Oil Company and its industrialist-founder John D. Rockefeller wasn't too happy with this arrangement. After all, Rockefeller's company had a virtual monopoly on gasoline at this time in our nation's development.

It should be evident to any serious student of history that John D. Rockefeller was no political progressive. His fights with muckraker Ida Tarbell are legendary. She was ultimately responsible for the dissolution of the Standard Oil Trust in 1911. Not that this actually hurt Rockefeller- his wealth actually increased after Standard Oil broke up. Rockefeller held significant interests in the resulting companies, which included the precursors of today's Seven Sisters oil companies. 

The break-up of Standard Oil actually made him the wealthiest man in the world, as the share values of most of these companies doubled. Yet Rockefeller would find benefit once again within the reform movement that he considered his enemy. Since the late 1800's there had been a growing Alcohol Temperance Movement developing among reformers. Rockefeller saw an opportunity in this. It is well-documented that local efforts to curb alcohol consumption were expanded to the national level when high-profile figures like Rockefeller joined in the anti-alcohol efforts. Was he so concerned with the social problems that abuse of alcohol was said to cause?

No... John D. Rockefeller was not concerned with family dynamics in the working classes. But he was influential in changing the goals of the movement from temperance to prohibition. As we know, his contribution to the outlawing of the production and sale of alcohol was successful. Of course, Rockefeller and the oil companies reaped tremendous profits as a result. 

Remember that the period covered by the 18th Amendment (1919-1933) coincided with the huge rise in the sale and operation of automobiles. America was on the move, and all of these cars were now operated solely on gasoline. By the time that the 21st Amendment was passed, ending the prohibition of alcohol, the standard was already set and worked completely in the favor of the Rockefeller family."

**************

If we take into consideration exactly what was here at the time in support of this new technology, it’s utterly apparent that decisions for long term corporate interests were being made. Those decisions did not include the generations that preceded us, or their futures.
This period of time was for building the infrastructures to direct and socially engineer populations of the world. Think that’s knee-jerk melodrama? Remember these guys worshiped different gods than our ancestors, they honestly believed, and still do, that the general populations of the world were/are in place to serve them, just as we believe cattle are there for our benefit, although, to be fair, we’re a lot more compassionate toward cattle. I’m not speaking of the chicken and cattle processing operations either, those are owned/operated by their servants.

Okay, so where does Cannabis/Marijuana fit into all of this? Well, again that’s a long and torturous story unto itself that involves as usual, most of the same players and controllers.

Remember again, part of all that new technology involved the delivery of media via the airwaves. Radio was playing a huge part and of course fell under control of the controllers. It was used much the same as it is today, for the delivery of distractions and carefully formulated advertising and propaganda. Look up the the name, Edward Bernays, nephew of Sigmund Freud. That will give you a great introduction into this aspect of the engineering of consent.

Below is another excerpt from a fantastic, in depth historical accounting of how we REALLY got to be where we are today. It’s written by, Jean Carter, and it’s called: Ill-Gotten Gains, The Rockefeller War on Drugs. As usual, the truth is always more simple and logical, it doesn’t have to be ‘believed’ it just is.


"Before I begin to unravel the mystery and deception which surrounds cannabis prohibition, it is important to understand the truth about the benefits of medical marijuana.  The Reefer Madness propaganda campaign that was launched by Rockefeller Junior and his associates, beginning around 1930, was truly a shameful chapter in history. The brainwashing strategies used by Junior and his associates to get cannabis/marijuana prohibited was so corrupt and deceitful that it defies belief that they were even able to get away with telling such colossal lies, but they did get away with it.  It is important to know what is true and what is not true, or people with hidden and crooked agendas will lie to you and you will never know it. Rockefeller Junior did exploit people with his lies, so it is crucial to know the truth about medical marijuana before proceeding. 
  
The prohibition of marijuana is based on the fact that medical cannabis is about the most perfect natural medicine known to man.  It is one of the safest medicines available. Cannabis has an excellent safety record going back thousands of years and has never killed anyone. That is certainly more than one can say about the chemically produced pharmaceutical drugs, which kill many tens of thousands of people every year. Prior to 1937, before marijuana was prohibited you could find cannabis mixed with various different brand name medicines in liquid form for a variety of ailments. Medicines designed to treat migraine headaches, menstrual cramps, backaches, painful muscle spasms, alcohol withdrawal, seizures and nervous conditions to name just a few of the many medical uses of cannabis.  It was a very commonplace and widely accepted medicine that people could just buy off of the drugstore shelf when needed.  No one had to smoke cannabis to benefit from its beneficial properties; they just bought the liquid medicine from the drugstore and took a spoonful when needed."
