President Medvedev, create healing centers. The human beings, as you know, have been purposely poisoned with "drugs" to harvest the poor unsuspecting into a pool of never ending "trading of flesh." DRUGS (poisons) have been used to manipulate, control and therefore, usher the COLLECTIVE human consciousness into nothing more than thoughts to be mass disposable commodities .... ... for the FAMILIES who push this incredible idea of harvesting the imagination of the collective consciousness for the obvious end result: digital slaves. TIME FOR TRANSPARENCY of the WAR ON DRUGS, as the pre-primer to the GLOBAL WAR ON TERROR, and the result we have is a planet in serious decline due to the poisons in our skies (China shame on you too!), AND, then it goes on and on with the PRIVATE-PUBLIC "partnerships" to literally use the human being as though a digital trade and that's all - no life or future hope is allowed. In two words: criminally insane. THANK YOU PRESIDENT MEDEVEDEV for the true first step in recovery -- our human children!

Absolutely the wrong approach to test the children. What we need is identify the dealers. the routes the money and take them out. Violating our children's freedom is not the way to go about this. This is a slippery slope and needs to be avoided. let's go and violate some dealers and suppliers instead big time. Stay away from this one Medvedev, nothing good will come of it, it seems a good idea, but it isn't!
