Dear Senator Warnock:
We are writing you because we believe the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) policies severely undermine the lives of Veterans, the Public, and healthcare providers. The DEA has become a Criminal Enterprise of the United States Government, and we need the Senate to have hearings to hold this agency accountable for its abuses.

In Bed with wantedNazi criminals: Where Geo-Political and Drug Policy SplitS AND COME TOGETHER
FORMER DEA AGENT MICHAEL LEVINE, from his Book, “The Big White Lie (The Deep Cover Operation That Exposed The CIA Sabotage Of The Drug War)
“There is no drug war. It’s a fraud. No other nation in the world has a drug war. The rest have addiction problems. We have war. Why? Because it’s a toy, a grab bag with a lot of big hands in it.”
To Levine, the real news—not the fingertip kind the media like—resides in the actions and motivations of secrecy fetishists, backroom rulers who despise limits, and government employees who have begun to control their employers.
“The DEA,” he says, “they want more power, more people, more funding, more headlines and glory. The politicians: They want a platform easily sold to voters, something that the public can identify and think something’s being done, an illusion that they can throw millions of dollars at and show that they’re challenging the drug barons; the war is great theater for politicians.
The Pentagon and CIA: With the fade of communism, they are building a pretext for maintaining their budgets. Everybody wants the toy. All held together by a phrase: war on drugs. The black humor, the madness, is heartbreaking.
“God knows how many secret elements,” he says, “are out there working under the guise of the drug war. Oliver North was the latest example. His operation was hip-deep in contra-drug smuggling. He was banned from Costa Rica for his involvement with drug runners.
The DEA documented fifty tons of contra coke that was being routed into the U.S. by a Honduran connection. An agent bought two kilos in Lubbock, Texas, and made the arrest. The CIA comes quickly to the rescue. A closed hearing is held. Case dismissed. In the meantime, an agent like my friend Ev Hatcher is murdered in New York over a couple of ounces, and there is the DEA wail of dying for ‘a just cause.’ A ghastly value is at work here.”
Congressional hearings and the media skirted North’s drug involvement; they burrowed for linkage to Bush and constitutional violations. North and his CIA cover skated free. “It was unbelievable,” says Levine. “But if the conduct of the drug war is ever investigated, Watergate and Irangate will look like midgets. One day it’ll happen. Like Peter Kelly, a federal judge in Kansas, said, eventually, in the public good some high people in the administration should be indicted for conspiracy.”
These later revelations only underscore the truths that Levine recognized as far back as 1980. In the U.S., Bario’s warning of “horror” was taking shape rapidly.
“THAT DAMN CAT”
Despite a previous decade in which drugs had become a visible issue, the stateside atmosphere was still one of complacency, from the White House down to the population, which had begun to view cocaine as a trendy indicator of personal success. Like other agencies, the DEA was arrogant and smug on the exterior but had little or no grasp of its adversaries, organizational capability, or aim to mobilize giant, tentacled structures.”

“We are healers who have dedicated most of our lives to treating people suffering from diseases: The Art of Medicine. Yet we have become sacrificial lambs of DOJ-DEA in the rise of American fascism. The DEA is a renegade federal institution…A Criminal Enterprise of the United States Government)...this syndemic War on Drugs has been used to undermine our success and eradicate our communities“

SENATOR WARNOCK: STOP VETERAN SUICIDE AND SHOOTINGS, END “THE WAR ON DRUGS,” NEED FOR SENATORIAL HEARING
BY ANGELA GREEN-JOHNSON
May 8, 2023, ON POINT WITH JUANDOLYN STOKES
This week (May 8, 2023) on On Point with Juandolyn Stokes, our guests were Drs. Walter Wrenn and Norman Clement, founders of the blog youarewithinthenorms.com, The doctors shared their views on the recent Atlanta Mass Shooting at Northside Hospital, which they believe is directly related to the War on Drugs and the Criminalization of Black and Brown Doctors.
When U.S. Coast Guard veteran Deion Patterson opened fire on patients in the waiting room at Northside Hospital on May 3, 2023, he was frustrated because his doctors refused to fill his prescription for Ativan, a medication that treats anxiety, because they said it was an addictive medication.
“Ativan is not a problem. Medicines are developed with good purposes in mind. Emotional problems are individual things,” said Wrenn.
“Suicides among veterans are up 75% because of illogical VA policies and forced tapers, which reduce the amount of medicine a person can receive,” said Dr. Norman.
Dr. Norman cautioned Senator Raphael Warnock in his blog this week, “Thoughts and prayers are not going to do it this time. We need to hold hearings to make the DEA and CDC accountable for ending the War on Drugs.”
Both doctors agreed that the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) knows nothing about medicine because they are not physicians, they cannot grant waivers because they do not exist, and prescribing dosages is not within their authority.
Dr. Norman believes a solution to the problem with drugs in this country is to legalize them like other countries. He recalled Heroin was once a legal drug but was made illegal by the government.
“Cops cannot practice medicine; the DEA is only there to register, which is a task that should be assigned to the U.S. Surgeon General,” said Dr. Norman.
“The DEA are criminals of the Government. Illicit products are being blamed on doctors. The War on Drugs should remove the criminal drug element,” said Dr. Wrenn.
According to the Open Society Foundation’s “Voices” article published February 13, 2013, by Patrick Gallahue, enforcing the drug control system costs at least $100 billion annually. Federal spending in the United States alone totals around $15 billion annually, and according to one estimate, state and local drug-related criminal justice expenditures amount to $25.7 billion.
Many other cash-strapped governments spend hundreds of millions to billions of dollars each year on drug enforcement. These figures are revealed in a new Count the Costs briefing—a collaborative project tallying the human and economic costs of the war on drugs—titled Wasting Billions, Undermining Economies.
