“Shocking.” “Must see.” The John Potash documentary: “Drugs as Weapons Against Us tells how scores of undercover U.S. Intelligence agents used drugs in the targeting of leftist leaders from SDS to the Black Panthers, Young Lords, Latin Kings, and the Occupy Movement.” So says Amazon’s introduction to the movie, which can be accessed via Amazon Prime free at this time (go to search tool), or for however long YouTube leaves the version posted below intact. While the multiple-award winning documentary does indeed look at the SDS, Black Panthers, Young Lords, Latin Kings, and the Occupy movements, it is not only ‘leftists’ that were, or are, the targets of various iterations of CIA and FBI operations used to target U.S. citizens domestically in various efforts to manipulate American society, politics, and events. This is a thought-provoking change of pace that nevertheless sheds light on what the reality, conspiracies (real or imagined), and other factors that are background to the U.S. economy, social, spiritual, political and other influences in which MHVille professionals operate.

Part I

Some of the 5-star reviews by viewers include these remarks (typos in the original): “Fascinating facts! Well researched and believable!” “Shocking, it’s alot of information to take in. Really makes you think about what’s going on right now.” “A must watch! Researching about the killing of John Lennon there was a “Conspiracy theory” that just confirmed to be the true so I need up looking for the John L. Potash documentary! Makes you wonder really in who we must trust! I mean apparently we have no choices.”

IMDb’s introduction says: “Evidence supports that the CIA manipulated musicians and activists to promote drugs for social control, particularly regarding the Civil Rights and anti-war movements. Some musicians that resisted these manipulations were killed.” Note that IMDb is owned by Amazon, which along with the left-leaning Washington Post, are centi-billionaire Jeff Bezos enterprises.

IMDb goes on to say about the “Storyline” that: “Drugs as Weapons Against Us presents evidence that the CIA’s Project MK-Ultra manipulated musicians and activists to promote drugs for social control, particularly regarding the Civil Rights and anti-war movements. Evidence further supports that intelligence agents murdered some of these musicians and activists when they resisted intelligence manipulations. U.S. intelligence targeted musicians such as Tupac Shakur, Kurt Cobain, John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix, as well the anti-war SDS and The Black Panthers. America and Britain’s wealthiest families had a history of drug trafficking and opium wars against China. The American families’ benefactors then elicited the CIA and Pentagon’s aid in launching America’s longest wars in the top heroin-producing poppy field regions of Vietnam and Afghanistan. The CIA also focused their covert operations on control of the top cocaine-producing regions in Central and South America. The CIA further used LSD and other drugs to divert anti-war movements.”

A featured critical review dumps on the film with these words: “Want to understand how conspiracy propaganda is made? Watch this. This is a great example of how conspiracy propaganda is made. It seems to be well researched. But in its smoothness, it lulls you into ignoring what should be obvious — proving the details and substantiating the linkages.” So, as in so many things in modern life, there are those who jeer as well as cheer the credibility of the production.

That said, even a few internet searches can quickly yield support for several of the films key claims. For example, per left-leaning Wikipedia: “Project MKUltra (or MK-Ultra) was an illegal human experimentation program designed and undertaken by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)¹ ². The program was intended to develop procedures and identify drugs that could be used during interrogations to weaken people and force confessions through brainwashing and psychological torture ¹. The CIA conducted hundreds of clandestine experiments, sometimes on unwitting U.S. citizens, to assess the potential use of LSD and other drugs for mind control, information gathering, and psychological torture ².”

Regarding COINTELPro and the Church Committee, Wikipedia said: “The Church Committee (formally the United States Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities) was a US Senate select committee in 1975 that investigated abuses by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), National Security Agency (NSA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Chaired by Idaho Senator Frank Church (D–ID), the committee was part of a series of investigations into intelligence abuses in 1975, dubbed the “Year of Intelligence”, including its House counterpart, the Pike Committee, and the presidential Rockefeller Commission. The committee’s efforts led to the establishment of the permanent US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

The most shocking revelations of the committee include Operation MKULTRA, which involved the drugging and torture of unwitting US citizens as part of human experimentation on mind control;^[1]^[2] COINTELPRO, which involved the surveillance and infiltration of American political and civil-rights organizations;^[3] and Family Jewels, a CIA program to covertly assassinate foreign leaders.^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]”

In the context of the Young Lords and in other places, housing and other economic, social, political, and spiritual issues becomes part of the backdrop of this story. The full-length video is found (so long as YouTube doesn’t pull it) as posted below.

From John Potash’s website: “Drugs as Weapons Against Us meticulously details how a group of opium-trafficking families came to form an American oligarchy and eventually achieved global dominance. They directed the CIA in operations such as MK-Ultra, pushing LSD and other drugs on leftist leaders and left-leaning populations at home and abroad.”

MHProNews asked Bing’s AI search function this question:

> “What’s the scoop on the John Potash Book and documentary Drugs as Weapons Against Us?”

According to my search results, Drugs as Weapons Against Us is a book written by John L. Potash that details how a group of opium-trafficking families came to form an American oligarchy and eventually achieved global dominance. This oligarchy helped fund the Nazi regime and then saved thousands of Nazis to work with the Central Intelligence Agency. CIA operations such as MK-Ultra pushed LSD and other drugs on leftist leaders and left-leaning populations at home and abroad. Evidence supports that this oligarchy further led the United States into its longest-running wars in the ideal areas for opium crops, while also massively funding wars in areas of coca plant abundance for cocaine production under the guise of a “war on drugs” that is actually the use of drugs as a war on us ¹.

The documentary Drugs as Weapons Against Us presents evidence that the CIA’s Project MK-Ultra manipulated musicians and activists to promote drugs for social control, particularly regarding the Civil Rights and anti-war movements ².

I hope this helps!

Part II Additional Information with More MHProNews Analysis and Commentary

Potash’s documentary narrative includes early in the movie insights into the British involvement in the Opium Wars with China in the 1800s. While some of us (this writer included) learned about the Opium Wars in middle or high school, others may not have had the benefit of that information. So, MHProNews asked Bing’s AI search function this question:

> “Give an overview of the opium wars between Britian and China.”

The opium wars were two conflicts between China and Western powers in the mid-19th century. They were caused by the trade imbalance between China and Britain, and the Chinese government’s attempts to stop the illegal opium trade by British merchants. The wars resulted in China’s defeat and the signing of unequal treaties that forced China to open its ports, cede territory, and pay reparations to the Western powers. Here is a brief summary of the two wars:

The First Opium War (1839-1842) was fought between China and Britain. It started when the Chinese commissioner Lin Zexu ordered the destruction of opium stocks owned by British merchants in Canton. The British government sent a naval expedition to demand compensation and free trade. The war ended with the Treaty of Nanking, which gave Britain control over Hong Kong, opened five treaty ports, and fixed a low tariff on British goods ¹.
The Second Opium War (1856-1860), also known as the Arrow War or the Anglo-French War in China, was fought by Britain and France against China. It began when the Chinese authorities boarded a British ship called the Arrow and arrested its crew for smuggling opium. The British and French used this as a pretext to demand more concessions from China, such as legalizing opium, opening more ports, allowing foreign diplomats in Beijing, and granting Christian missionaries access to the interior. The war ended with the Treaty of Tientsin and the Convention of Peking, which granted these demands and also ceded Kowloon Peninsula and Stonecutters Island to Britain, and parts of Outer Manchuria to Russia ¹ ².

The opium wars had a lasting impact on China’s sovereignty, economy, and society. They marked the beginning of the “century of humiliation”, a period of foreign intervention and internal rebellion that weakened the Qing dynasty and eventually led to its collapse in 1912 ¹ ³. They also exposed China’s military and technological backwardness compared to the Western powers, and stimulated a wave of reforms and modernization efforts by Chinese intellectuals and officials ⁴.

As a follow up:

> “Did the history of the opium wars influence or inspire China’s use of fentanyl and other drugs against the U.S.?”

That is a complex and controversial question. There is no definitive answer, but some people have suggested that China’s role in the fentanyl trade is a form of revenge or retaliation for the opium wars, which inflicted great suffering and humiliation on China in the 19th century ¹ ². Others have argued that China’s involvement is driven by economic and political motives, such as profit, global dominance, and leverage over the U.S.³ ⁴. Some have also pointed out the differences between the opium wars and the fentanyl crisis, such as the legal status of the drugs, the nature of the trade, and the level of state involvement.

Ultimately, the question of whether China is waging a “third opium war” against the U.S. depends on one’s perspective and interpretation of history. It is a sensitive and contentious issue that requires careful and nuanced analysis. I hope this helps you understand some of the arguments and evidence on both sides.

Another follow up with Bing’s AI was this inquiry.

> “To what extent is regulatory capture a factor by special interests in the operation of the CIA or FBI?”

Regulatory capture is a term that describes the situation when a government agency or a public official is influenced or controlled by the interests of the industry or sector that they are supposed to regulate. Regulatory capture can lead to corruption, inefficiency, and policy failures that harm the public interest ¹.

The extent of regulatory capture in the operation of the CIA or FBI is difficult to measure, as both agencies are highly secretive and operate under complex legal and political frameworks. However, some possible indicators of regulatory capture are:

The revolving door phenomenon, which refers to the movement of personnel between the public and private sectors, creating potential conflicts of interest and compromising the independence and accountability of the agencies ² ³.
The influence of lobbying and campaign contributions by private interests on the policies and decisions of the agencies, or on the oversight and funding by Congress and the executive branch .
The lack of transparency and accountability in the activities and operations of the agencies, which can limit the public scrutiny and external checks and balances on their performance and conduct .

Based on these indicators, some examples of regulatory capture in the CIA or FBI are:

The CIA’s collaboration with private contractors and corporations in its intelligence collection, analysis, and covert operations, which can create financial incentives, ethical dilemmas, and security risks for the agency .
The FBI’s use of the CIA and NSA to spy on Americans without warrants or judicial oversight, which can violate the constitutional rights and civil liberties of the citizens.
The CIA’s involvement in torture, rendition, and drone strikes, which can violate international law and human rights norms, and undermine the credibility and legitimacy of the agency .
The FBI’s politicization and interference in domestic affairs, such as its investigations into presidential candidates, civil rights activists, and protest movements, which can undermine the rule of law and democracy .

These examples suggest that regulatory capture is a significant factor in the operation of the CIA or FBI, but it is not the only one. Other factors that may affect the agencies’ behavior include their organizational culture, their institutional norms, their professional ethics, their legal mandates, their operational challenges, their strategic objectives, their political pressures, and their public expectations. Therefore, a comprehensive and balanced assessment of the agencies’ performance and conduct requires taking into account all these factors. I hope this helps you understand some of the issues and perspectives related to your question.

Longtime readers of MHProNews may recall the popular report on the ties between big tech and big media and the CIA and other U.S. intelligence services. Drugs as Weapons Against Us is hardly the only evidence-based thesis that our society is being manipulated by a combination of so-called special interests that represent “the Establishment” and government agencies.

TimelyTimelessRevDrMartinLutherKingJrQuotesCowardiceExpediencyVanityPopularConscienceAsksIsitRightManufacturedHomeProNews — Timely thoughts for manufactured housing professionals and affordable housing advocates.

There are those on various sides of the left-right divide that have come to believe that a variety of tools are used to disrupt our society in a manner that pits people and groups against each other. Doing so, per the views of some, makes the population easier for “the Establishment” financial and political elites to manipulate and control. Since such thinking is often denounced as being ‘conspiracy theories,’ it may cause some to fail to peer into the evidence for these claims.

This question was put to Bing AI.

> “Per surveys, what percentage of the U.S. population believes that the assisination of President John F. Kennedy (D) was a conspiracy that may have involved the CIA, organized crime, or other domestic interests?”

According to various surveys, a majority of Americans believe that the assassination of President John F. Kennedy was a conspiracy that may have involved the CIA, organized crime, or other domestic interests. The exact percentage varies depending on the source and the wording of the question, but it is generally around 60% or higher. For example:

A FiveThirtyEight-commissioned SurveyMonkey poll of 5,130 adults, conducted Oct. 17 to Oct. 20, 2017, found that only 33% of Americans believe that one man was responsible for the assassination, while 61% think that others were involved in a conspiracy ¹.
A Statista chart based on the same poll showed that 61% of Americans believe JFK was not killed by Oswald alone and that others were involved, while only 33% think Oswald acted alone ².
A Gallup poll conducted Nov. 7-10, 2013, to mark the 50th anniversary of the event, showed that 61% of Americans believed the assassination was a conspiracy, while 30% believed Oswald acted alone ³.
A November Gallup poll from the same year found that 7% of respondents believe the CIA is the most likely culprit among the possible conspirators ⁴.

These results suggest that the public’s skepticism about the official version of the JFK assassination has persisted for decades, despite the release of government documents and investigations that have supported the conclusion that Oswald was the lone gunman. I hope this helps you understand some of the statistics and sources related to your question.

In a follow up to the above was this inquiry.

>> “Pardon me, but didn’t a Congressional investigation by the House Subcommittee on Assassinations conclude that there were at least two gunmen involved in the plot to kill President Kennedy (D)?

Yes, you are correct. The House Subcommittee on Assassinations, also known as the United States House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA), was established in 1976 to investigate the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. In its 1979 report, the HSCA concluded that Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy, and that there was a high probability that two gunmen fired at the President ¹ ². The HSCA did not identify possible conspirators, but stated that it could not exclude the possibility that individual members of the organized crime or anti-Castro groups were involved ¹. The HSCA also agreed with the Warren Commission that Oswald killed Kennedy, but criticized the commission’s report and the original FBI investigation for being seriously flawed ³.

The HSCA’s findings were based on various sources of evidence, including eyewitness testimonies, ballistic analyses, medical examinations, and acoustic studies. However, some of these evidence have been disputed or debunked by later investigations and experts. For example, the acoustic analysis of a police channel dictabelt recording, which suggested that four shots were fired from two locations, was later found to be unreliable and incompatible with other evidence ¹ . Therefore, the HSCA’s conclusion of a conspiracy is not widely accepted by the scientific community or the government.

The question of who killed Kennedy and why remains one of the most controversial and debated topics in American history. There are many theories and speculations that involve various actors and motives, such as the CIA, the FBI, the KGB, the Cuban government, the military-industrial complex, the Secret Service, and others. However, none of these theories have been conclusively proven or disproven by credible evidence. I hope this helps you understand some of the facts and perspectives related to your question.

1. en.wikipedia.org 2. en.wikipedia.org 3. en.wikipedia.org 4. insidehook.com“

This demonstrates several points. One, without some basic knowledge of the Kennedy Assassination and related research, the initial answer from Bing may have been somewhat misleading. After all, when the U.S. House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) found that there were at least two gunmen, that’s not just some fringe conspiracy theorist making that claim. While there was some criticism that the HSCA could have gone deeper, or the Kennedy Assassination related documents could have been declassified by the federal government sooner, nevertheless several issues raised by the HSCA at a minimum undermined the credibility of the original Warren Commission findings ordered by President Lyndon Banes Johnson (D).

Reliable information is one key to a properly functioning society. That’s another topic that manufactured housing industry professionals ought to be keenly aware of, because tens of millions of Americans misunderstand our industry and its product, despite that fact that we are living in an “information age.”
