Drugs, Not Harvard is the Issue


Vennochi says, "the Harvard connection was the dominant theme at a news conference at Cambridge police headquarters." (Joan Vennochi, "Urban violence spills onto sacred turf," Boston Globe, May 21, 2009) But the deafening silence by police, politicians and Harvard administrators shows that illegal recreational drugs are tolerated in Cambridge.

Two retired cops and one correctional officer were arrested within four days in May 2009 in eastern Massachusetts alone. The southwestern US is being invaded by Mexican drug cartels. Only with the acquiescence of high ranking police and politicians can this tsunami of illegal drugs be so easily available in this country.

The same is true for Harvard administrators and Harvard students. Either the leadership of the colleges, the states and US government fear the drug dealers, are funded by the drug dealers and money launderers, or they intentionally ignore them. Else they are clueless regarding what is going on in this country. In any case the current leadership is a sad testimony to democracy.
