My guess is that Patrick Hilger, author of this excellent essay on illegal drugs, is a young man. His explication is so clear. It seems he doesn’t apprehend that organized, nefarious forces are in charge of the international so called war on drugs.
Coca leaves were used for hundreds of years in Latin American countries until it was banned by the western societies.
When the Spanish Jesuits brotherhood saw that coca leaves made the Indians strong (the Incas in this case) they banned it.
The employment of addictive drugs and of drug laws by the ruling class to tax and control serfdom is a horrendous crime and the consequences, in numbers of deaths and lives ruined, qualifies the crime as a holocaust.
So young Patrick thinks the Jebbies took coca away from the Incas in order to make them more subservient.
BTW: There’s been some ado about the pope apologizing for the Nazi/Jewish holocaust. I wonder if the pope/Jesuits will ever apologize for their role in European imperialism. Or was that all AMDG?
