A large and growing list of Americans — now numbering in the hundreds of thousands — who have been victimized by civil asset forfeiture. Under civil asset forfeiture, everything you own can be legally taken away even if you are never convicted of a crime.
Donald P. Scott, age 61, owned and lived on a 200-acre property known as the Trails End Ranch, in the Ventura County portion of Malibu. California. On October 2, 1992, while serving a search warrant at the ranch, Los Angeles County Sheriff Deputies shot Donald Scott, resulting in his death.

While the U.S. federal government has been waging a phony and hypocritical “war on drugs” as an easy way to increase repression in inner cities and confiscate millions of dollars in private assets through unconstitutional forfeiture laws in order to fund its burgeoning police state, it has also been an active participant in the illegal drug trade, using public resources to bring heroin and cocaine into American inner cities at least since the 1960′s.
Sound like paranoia? In fact, this information has been confirmed by scholars and researchers throughout the past three decades. Any honest scholar that has researched the issue will tell you that this is the truth, but you will find very little information about it in the mainstream mass media. The most recent scandal involved the Central Intelligence Agency selling crack cocaine in South Central Los Angeles in order to fund the U.S. covert war against the people of Nicaragua.
The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, as is by now well-known by anyone who has cared to be informed, has long been deeply involved in the international trafficking of the addictive drugs heroin and (since the early 1980s, if not earlier) cocaine, the enormous profits from which have financed, and continue to finance, both U.S. covert operations and the U.S. military (via payments to Pentagon contractors).
The main reason why this is not more widely known is that the main players in the U.S. media have always worked to protect the Agency and to keep the American public in the dark as to the nature of its activities (as documented in great detail in Carl Bernstein’s article in the October 20, 1977, issue of Rolling Stone: “The CIA and the Media: How America’s Most Powerful News Media Worked Hand in Glove with the Central Intelligence Agency and Why the Church Committee Covered It Up”).
Because (some) drugs are illegal, there are huge profits to be made in supplying them to those who want or need them. Legalization would eliminate the enormous profits now being made and would provide a social context in which education concerning the use of drugs was not only respectable but also a social obligation. In the meantime the “War on Drugs” works only to keep (some) drugs illegal and to maintain the profits of the traffickers.

Over time, lawsuits against the tobacco industry have proceeded on a variety of grounds. In the first wave of the tobacco litigation, individual smokers sued the industry in tort (as a wrongful act but not a breach of contract) based upon smoking-related disease. This first wave culminated in Cipollone v. Liggett Group, Inc. (1992), in which the Supreme Court held that federal legislation specifying the content of cigarette warnings precludes, in substantial part, lawsuits against the industry by smokers. The Court, however, left open the possibility of lawsuits based upon allegations of fraud.
The second wave of the tobacco litigation exhibits two distinctive features: a focus upon nicotine addiction in addition to smoking-related disease; and the use at trial of internal documents that detail the industrys awareness of the risks posed by its products as well as its extensive efforts to mislead the public concerning those risks. The signal development of this second wave came in a class action in Florida state court that resulted in a $144.8 million punitive damage verdict against the industry. In addition, state governments sued for reimbursement of the sums that they previously had expended in connection with smoking-related disease. These state suits led to a settlement under which the industry is obligated to pay $240 billion to state governments by the year 2025.
Some observers applaud the tobacco litigation for bringing to light the misconduct of the industry, and for forcing it to address the toll that its products take upon both public health and the coffers of the government. Other observers sharply criticize the litigation on several grounds. Practical objections include the claim that the multibillion-dollar state settlement amounts to little more than an indirect tax on cigarettes to be paid by future smokers. A related practical objection is that the litigation is likely to be less effective than direct regulatory measures to control the health risks of smoking, particularly by teenagers. Some see the litigation as a troubling effort to use tort law as a vehicle to punish the tobacco industry, without regard to whether its past misconduct actually caused the injuries of which smokers complain. Finally, some cultural critics frame the litigation as the product of a society in which individuals seek to transfer responsibility to others for the adverse consequences of their own risk-decisions.
