CRACK MAFIAS RECRUIT ABANDONED CHILDREN IN THE UNITED STATES
(Time, May 8, 1988 and New York Times, October 1, 1989)
- With the warmongering strategies to combat the “Seven Plagues of Egypt” that plague US Mental Health (fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, crack, methamphetamine, oxycodone, methadone and alcoholism), its successive governments have been applying the same formula and making the same mistakes: declaring wars, invasions, police brutality, racist practices, xenophobic agendas and unreliable counternarcotics agencies.
- The 1980s defined the crossroads that led directly to the United States, today at the end of 2025, being plagued by very serious psychopathologies, with a society increasingly full of fears, anger, and social resentment, where mutual distrust, mass shootings and political myopia mock the warrior palliatives of every pharaoh on a daily basis.
- Everything indicates that, since 1980, the only thing that has been democratized in the United States is the massive use of drugs.
- From the cheap crack of the 80s ($20 a stone) with more than 14 million addicts, to Purdue Pharma's fentanyl and Oxycodone, sold in all pharmacies “on prescription” for $5 per tablet and 74 million users, successive governments, since the Reagan administration, have failed dramatically in the application of policies based on invasion of other countries and repression, at the cost of thousands of lives blinded by police bullets in their big cities and streets.
- The great American tragedy lies in the fact that every day the demand for drugs and psychotropic drugs increases exponentially and greatly exceeds supply. If the supply were completely cut off, withdrawal syndrome would drive millions of people crazy.
- Normally, in a very expensive rehabilitation clinic, every day, at a certain time, patients line up to receive a small dose of fentanyl, oxycodone or heroin, in order to avoid the seizures and shocks caused by the withdrawal syndrome.
- In these queues, it is common to see in pajamas top executives of large companies, CEOs of corporations, children of billionaires, wives of White House politicians, rock and roll stars, successful Wall Street stockbrokers, film artists, Hollywood luminaries, great intellectuals from Greenwich Village and all the variety of sophisticated jet-set personalities.
- To show the reality of what happened 45 years ago, it is worth reviewing and reading what has happened with abandoned children in the United States.
- Between 1980 and 1990, local mafias recruited thousands of children as mules and crack dealers in Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago and New York.
- The strategy of the local gangsters to channel the distribution and sale of “the stone” was to attract, among the most vulnerable sectors of the most impoverished population, children between 10 and 15 years of age who by law are unimpeachable before the courts of law. They were called “The Crack Kids”.
- For these Crack Kids, State policy was not the doctrine of social reintegration through educational programs and psychological care, but rather the application of the garrote doctrine:
- Lock them up in real crime universities, such as juvenile detention centers, juvenile reformatory centers, highly dangerous prisons, real centers of overcrowding and abuse, with a large dose of prison violence.
- Today, the children's prison population in the United States is 70,800 minors. All this without counting detention centers for migrant children.
- In 2019, 500,000 minors were tried as adults for street crimes and drug sales.
- The United States now represents 25% of the world's prison population, with 1,840,660 prisoners, the vast majority of whom are African-American.
- The democratization of fentanyl and the opioid fever were caused by the powerful pharmaceutical industry known in the United States as “Big Pharma”.
- Its consumption catapulted and became popular at the end of 1999, through an aggressive advertising marketing campaign carried out by large laboratories to expand the use of fentanyl and oxycodone, through the issuance of medical prescriptions. Opium-based syrups were in every home.
- No government intervened to stop Big Pharma, until the social catastrophe of more than 74 million addicts exploded in their faces in 2011.
- Big Pharma has washed its hands paying compensation, bankrupting its companies to refound them with new brands and a different façade. In the United States, crime doesn't pay.
- In the “Fentanyl Democracy”, a third of the American population is directly committed or indirectly affected by the unstoppable expansion of its consumption, there is no family that is not impacted by overdoses or by addicts who roam the streets like dead in life. And this has no respect for the wealthy classes.
- In the United States, there are 28,900 private rehabilitation centers, whose costs range from $10,000 for a week of treatment to $30,000 for 21 days of detoxification (detox); and can last up to 90 days of therapy ($150,000).
- Very few chronic addicts can afford it and, even if they can, the rate of recidivism, treatment abandonment and death due to overdose is:
- 65% by fentanyl
- 45% for heroin.
- 75% alcoholism
- Overall, only 25% of those who have sufficient resources to enter a rehabilitation or detoxification center remain sober for the rest of their lives.
- In such an extensive geography of 9,867,000 square kilometers, with 52 state entities, and more than 74 million mentally ill people due to addictions, there are only 433 free primary care centers.
- These centers only provide new syringes to addicts to prevent the proliferation of diseases and the application of naloxone to prevent overdose.
