This recording ...

SCW's second CD release, is about the hypocrisy of the so-called War on Drugs:

• Our New World Military Order takes aim at "the drug problem" but, as usual, the targets are the under-class, from the impoverished farmers of the Andes to the innercity small-time dealers and users.
• Police crack down on crack, busting heads while dealing dope. The jails burst with the busted, while the big traffickers have get-out-of-jail-free cards, courtesy of the US government. The CIA finances its covert operations running guns out of the US, while running dope in.
• The pharmaceutical industry makes billions foisting poorly-tested drugs on an unsuspecting public, while users of soft illicit drugs are subject to draconian zero-tolerance policies that line the pockets of the local sheriff and his boys.
• Bored suburban kids take trips for kicks, while their disapproving parents sit before the television in alcohol- and sedative-induced stupors.
• The former President of the United States pukes on foreign dignitaries while wired on Halcyon, while the troops who fought his war return with chronic health problems after being subjected to injections of mystery drugs ).

Well, you get the point ...

To combat ...

this chronic condition of necrotizing fascism, SCW offers you some hard medicine - unscientifically tested techno beats, highly volatile funk, and placebophonic surround sounds make this highly illicit recording a threat to national security. D o not use while operating heavy machinery!
