Chapter 7: Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988

ANTI-DRUG ABUSE ACT of 1988

H.R. 5210 / P.L. 100-690 Public Law 100-690, which was introduced to the 100th Congress as H.R. 5210, passed by Congress in September 1988 and signed by the President on November 18,1988, is the most serious attack upon the freedoms guaranteed the citizens of the Republic of the United States of America in our Constitution since the formation of the Federal Reserve and the IRS.

The act may be cited as the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988. The following titles are contained within the act.

The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 can be found in most college or city libraries contained in the U.S. Code Congressional and Administrative News, Vol. 3,1988, with amendment and voting information in the Congressional Quarterly Almanac, Vol. XLIV, 1988.

The law looks innocent enough upon first glance, containing new drug-awareness and treatment programs, more law enforcement and much stricter penalties — and all to be financed with a 2.1-BILLION-dollar budget. Upon close examination, however, I discovered some really scary stuff tucked in where most citizens would never look.

The act is some 366 pages of fine (very fine) print on very small pages. It is tedious reading, as is all legislation. In fact, it was impossible to read until Nancy Batchelder, a volunteer on my research staff, enlarged each page on a copy machine. Could it be that the Congress does not want the citizens to read the contents of their legislation? I believe that is exactly the case.

One of the most frightening aspects of this legislation was the proposal to allow evidence found in a warrantless search. Congress said "illegally obtained evidence is legal to use in drug cases." Months later the Senate said no and that portion of the legislation was removed — or at least

that is what we were meant to think.

The act leaves a loophole for court decisions on some mass searches/ drug tests, such as school lockers, requirement for certain jobs, and an experimental program for those getting their first driver's license. (Sec. 9005) Key words here are "mass searches/drug tests," "jobs," and "drivers license." The courts have held that if the citizens give up any right by giving what is called implied consent, then they no longer have claim to that right. The dangerous implication here is that "mass search" could mean the search of every person in, say, Chicago, Los Angeles, or New York City. Get the picture? The proposed legislation contained a section that if passed would have taken away our right to trial by jury, and specifically stated that you could be held guilty without trial. How could any citizen or Representative or Senator even have had the guts to propose such a thing for passage into law in this country? Fortunately, it was removed by amendment, HOWEVER IN SOME CASES A TRIAL ISN'T AUTOMATIC; YOU MUST REQUEST A HEARING. (Sec. 6480) Do I have your attention yet?

$10,000 is the maximum fine for knowingly possessing any amount of a drug of any kind (even the kind that an enemy might plant in your car or home) (Sec. 6480).

Congress has asked for a study on the relationship between mental illness and substance abuse (Sec. 2071).

Congress has recommended changes for involuntary commitment for mental illness which echoes the Russian NKGB model (Sec. 2072a). The secret power structure considers PATRIOTISM and NATIONALISM to be mental illness. Congress has asked for an evaluation of the appropriateness of administering health-service programs in conjunction with biomedical and behavioral research. IN OTHER WORDS, MIND CONTROL ON A GRAND SCALE (Sec. 2073a). The Congress ordered in this act that "the Attorney General shall study the feasibility of prosecuting Federal drug-related offenses in a matter alernative or supplemental to the current criminal justice system." THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A POLICE STATE (Sec. 6293). The act states that anyone with intent to obstruct or harass the harvesting of timber on public lands can get 1 year in jail or up to 10 years if the resultant damage exceeds $10,000. Tree spiking is specifically named. WHAT IS DOING IN A DRUG LAW? It's in there because Congress wanted to make an end run around environmental groups and give the timber away (Sec. 6254/1864).

Herbicides are to be used for aerial coca eradication with no considera-

tion of what it might do to the humans or animals being sprayed. After a year of spraying the President shall determine if such use is harmful to environment or health and shalL.iile a report (Sec. 4202).

The act mandates the establishment of a ''World Currency Control" system. This would be an international data base to analyze currency transactions filed by member countries in order to monitor large ($10,000 or more) dollar transfers. To encourage "teamwork": Prohibit noncooperative foreign countries from participating in any U.S. dollar clearing or wire-transfer system, or from maintaining any financial accounts in the U.S. (Sec. 4701).

The act gives the Secretary of the Treasury power to require ANY transaction records from ANY domestic financial institution (even those not part of the bank/savings & loan system), as well as information on ALL of the persons involved. MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU PERSONALLY. This IS a police state (Sec. 6184/5326). ALERT...ALERT The Constitution of the United States, Article I, Section 9, paragraph 2, states:

"The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of rebellion or invasion, the Public Safety may require it."

Public Law 100-690, Sec. 7323, provides for a Special Committee on Habeas Corpus Review of Capital Sentences, appointed by the Chief justice of the United States. The purpose of the Special Committee is to recommend to the Chief Justice of the United States, who will forward the recommendation to the chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate, a proposal of a bill to modify Federal habeas corpus procedure.

Quotes from P.L. 100-690:

"This bill to modify habeas corpus procedure must be reported with or without recommendation by the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate by the end of the 60th day of session after the submission of the report or the bill must be automatically placed on the appropriate calendar of the Senate.

"Once the habeas corpus bill is on the calendar, it is not debatable; it is not subject to a motion to postpone; reconsideration of the vote by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to shall not be in order under this act. Only one motion in the Senate shall be in order pursuant to this paragraph and such motion shall be decided by a roll call vote."

SIT UP AND TAKE NOTICE! Section 7323 states that this habeas corpus legislation is enacted by Congress "as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate and as such it is deemed a part of the rules of the Senate..." CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS TREASON? Chapter 33 of Title 28, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end thereof Sec. 540, which states that the Attorney General and the Federal Bureau of Investigation may investigate felonious killings of officials and employees of a State or political subdivision when such investigation is requested by the head of the agency employing the official or employee killed, and under such guidelines as the Attorney General or his designee may establish.

Notice that the above paragraph does not say by invitation of the State, but says by the employing agency. Once the Feds are involved they always hold jurisdiction. THIS IS SERIOUS! It could establish the legal precedence for justification of a police state once the courts rule that the States have given up their right to jurisdiction under this act. Notice that it only involves crimes of a POLITICAL nature. Businesses are required to report all cash transactions of $10,000 or more (Sec. 7601 /60501-IRS). (It has been reported to me but not verified by me that this requirement has been lowered to $3000.) THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DRUGS BUT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE IRS.

The act establishes a requirement to record and verify the I.D. of a purchaser of a money order or other financial instrument of $3000 or more (Sec. 6184/5325). WHY? This is a big one. The act orders a study to be made on whether to withdraw $100 bills and $50 bills from circulation (Sec. 6187). THIS WOULD VIRTUALLY PROPEL US INTO A CASHLESS SOCIETY. $23 MILLION DOLLARS HAS BEEN ALLOCATED FOR A MACHINE-READABLE IDENTITY DOCUMENT PROGRAM. The excuse used is to be able to identify known criminals who attempt to cross borders. The type of border is not named (required in legislation) and could be the border of your city, county or state. It also raises the question of how they are going to get the criminals to accept the identity document program without REQUIRING ALL CITIZENS TO PARTICIPATE (Sec. 6604.)

This data pool will be shared by:

Drug Enforcement Administration

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, & Firearms

The act requires a study of the feasibility of requiring aircraft to carry operating transponders so that they can be tracked (Sec. 7212) including the "INTERCEPT" (the use of military aircraft is assumed due to the fact that the military is the only agency which has such a capability) of any aircraft not in a proper flight corridor (Sec. 7213). The act requires a study to be made on requiring onboard monitoring devices on commercial motor vehicles to record speed, driving time and other information (Sec. 9101). It further requires the utilization of existing government laboratory facilities (Departments of Defense, Justice, Energy, National Security Agency, CIA, FBI) to develop technologies for Federal law enforcement (not limited to) drug enforcement) (Sections 6163 and 7605). This would include: Night Vision (Ft. Belvoir, Virginia); Ground Sensor & Communications Electronics (Ft. Mom Jersey); Physical Electronic Security (Hanscom Field, Massachusetts); Imaging Electronic Surveillance (CIA & NSA, Washington, D.C.); Chemical/Biosensor Research & Development (Aberdeen, Maryland); Chemical /Molecular Research (Albuquerque, New Mexico); Physical/Electronic Surveillance & Tracking (FBI, Washington, D.C.) Explosives Ordnance Detection (Indian Head, Maryland).

The act calls for the expenditure of $120 million for the Bureau of Justice Statistics, a national clearinghouse of data from federal, state, and local criminal justice agencies (Sec. 6092).

Grant money will be made available for state and local agencies to hook into the data system (Sec. 6101 /1301). Gun sellers will have to check for a buyer's police record (Sec 6213).

The act includes a special note from the Attorney General to INCLUDE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE information in the system (Sec. 7609).

My sources have informed me that the New World Order plans to execute any person who has exhibited any degree of violence during their life. A fist fight while in the service would qualify you. They believe that

violence is hereditary and this could mean execution of family members as well.

This act calls for a study of the feasibility of establishing an INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT (World Court) (Sec. 4108).

An international criminal court would have no jurisdiction or authority over any citizen of the United States of America unless we surrender our sovereignty to the New World Order.

No weapons are to be allowed in Federal buildings: up to 1 year imprisonment for carrying a weapon into any FEDERAL FACILITY. The only exception is a pocket knife, but only if the blade is LESS than 2-1/2 inches long (Sec. 6215). The act has authorized postal authorities to serve warrants, subpoenas, make arrests, carry firearms, and make seizures in matters involving use of mails (Sec. 6251). The Post Office Department is a private corporation and is not a part of the Federal government. How can they be allowed to function as Federal police if they are not federalized? Are post office employees destined to become a part of the national police force? It is now illegal to mail or send locksmithing equipment to anyone but a locksmith (Sec. 3002). MANY COMMON TOOLS CAN BE CLASSIFIED AS LOCKSMITHING EQUIPMENT. The act legalizes the arming of aircraft in other countries for defensive purposes, in drug control (Sec. 4202). SAY AGAIN? If this had been in existence a few years ago, the IRANCONTRA AFFAIR WOULD HAVE BEEN LEGAL with only a statement that the arms were for defensive purposes in drug control. The act mandates that military installations are to be used as MENTAL TREATMENT CENTERS, OR PRISON CAMPS WITH WORK PROGRAMS (Sections 7302 and 2081/561). Does this SOUND LIKE RUSSIA? In addition, $200 million dollars will go for new prisons (Sec. 6157). Plus, proceeds from seized and forfeited property are to be used for construction of prisons, rewards for information or help, or for OTHER THINGS THE ATTORNEY GENERAL NEED NOT REPORT (Sec. 6072/ 924 Title 20-CIA,H). The act states that prison industries may BORROW AND INVEST FUNDS (Sec. 7093). Prison industries may DIVERSIFY THEIR PRODUCTS and PRODUCE PRODUCTS ON AN ECONOMIC BASIS (Sec. 1096b provide a labor pool SOVIET UNION STYLE it authorizes a study of the feasibility of REQUIRING PRISONERS TO PAY THEIR COSTS FOR FOOD, HOUSING AND SHELTER AT PAID EMPLOYMENT BEFORE, DURING OR AFTER IMPRISONMENT (Sec. 7301).

In other words, it means imprisonment Soviet style presented in what sounds like a nice idea. A LABOR CAMP WHERE MEN AND WOMEN ARE WORKED TO DEATH IS ONLY THAT AND NOTHING MORE OR LESS, NO MATTER WHAT THEY CALL IT OR HOW ATTRACTIVE THEY MAKE IT SOUND.

Prisons going into business to produce products on an economic basis can only serve to DESTROY THE LAST REMNANTS OF SMALL BUSINESS.

This law is 366 pages of very small print I am sure that as carefully as I read it, I still must have missed many other terrible clauses. Congressmen have been known to deny knowledge of this law and some have stated that it does not exist because they are terrified of the public finding out what they have done. When I first warned the nation about this legislation on talk radio across the country, the Government pulled all copies not already in public hands. The Government states that there are no copies available and there will not be any copies available. THIS ACT IS TOO LARGE TO INCLUDE IN THIS BOOK. You will find it in your library, though, exactly as I have stated at the beginning of this chapter. Please look it up yourself to verify that it it indeed real. SOURCES Public Law 100-690.
