AlbakiReads Editorial

A power-focused account of the drug trade

John Coleman’s book frames the drug trade as a system extending beyond street-level dealing, arguing that its influence reaches powerful political and social circles. The description presents the trade’s scale and profitability as central to the problem, and questions whether enforcement agencies can counter it effectively. Its account is explicitly accusatory, attributing the persistence of the trade to powerful figures who, Coleman argues, benefit from its profits. The book therefore approaches drugs and the law through a critique of power, institutional reach, and the limits of enforcement, rather than as a narrow discussion of criminal activity at street level.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in critical accounts of drug trafficking and power
  • Readers exploring law enforcement and the limits of drug control
  • Readers seeking a strongly argued perspective on the drug trade

Book overview

The majority of Americans know that there is a drug epidemic, but only a small minority is aware that it was inflicted upon our society by the "rulers of darkness, the wicked men in high places, who prefer darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil."
Who these men are and how they run the largest and most profitable business in the world; what they have achieved and whether there are any effective countermeasures being taken, is the subject matter of this book.
Please do not think that the drug trade is a mere street corner business, where pushers are controlled by the Mafia. Certainly it is part of the problem, but the real promoters of this accursed business are to be found in the halls of the "elite" of this world, the "royal" families, the "noble" families of Europe and the "best" families of America, Britain and Canada. The trade reaches into the highest echelons of power and has not been eradicated, but only somewhat contained. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (USDA) and drug enforcement agencies around the world are trying to fight a forest fire with garden hoses lacking adequate water-pressure. How can this be?

The answer is that the drug trade cannot be stamped out because its directors, the rulers of darkness, the wicked people in high places, will not allow the most lucrative trade in the world, with lucrative profits requiring the bare minimum of investment capital, a virtually free product with little production cost, to be taken from them.
