I don't remember how I first knew that, but it's one of those things that kind of always knew that the government was running drugs.

And at the same time, they were doing the giant just say no and drug war campaigns and really mandatory minimums and locking people in prison for consuming and trading in the drugs that the government ultimately was supplying at the top of the chain.

How do you know this pre-internet?

You know, I'm from Austin.

Did a lot of people know this?

There's a lot of, you know, left-wing and right-wing dissident communities in Austin and libertarians as well.

So there's always, you know, Channel 10, the Access Channel, even going, I don't know.

And they would cover this type of shit?

Maybe I just learned this from a friend's older brother or something.

You know what I mean?

I don't know.

Like I say, I don't remember where I first heard that, but I kind of knew that like all going in.

And I remember when H.W.

Bush did Iraq War I. Yeah.

i was all for it just not that i respected him or cared about restoring the monarchy in kuwait back to the throne but i just want to see some explosions man i was a 15 year old boy in ninth grade at the time so i just want to see a war because that would be cool i don't know yeah yeah um but i remember thinking they probably listened to metallica when they dropped those bombs

They're playing new Metallica, torturing people in Guantanamo, which makes sense.

But I remember thinking, you know, I remember when George Bush Sr.

said he didn't need a congressional resolution or a declaration of war to go to war for Iraq War I because he had a UN resolution.

And I remember knowing that that ain't right, because even just my seventh grade understanding of the Constitution, I know that that's not where the war power resides is in New York City.

And then he eventually did bow down and get authorization, but previously he had declared he didn't have to, and then he announced the new world order like four or five times in major speeches.
