Mainstream Media 'Discovers' Criminalizing Medicine Is Bad
When outlets like The Intercept report on 'Criminalizing Care,' it's presented as a revelation, focusing on medical marijuana. A crucial omission? The far grander, system-wide criminalization of life itself through militarized foreign policy and aid. While they unpack how specific care is criminalized, they rarely dissect the billions in U.S. taxpayer money that actively funds the criminalization
of *existence* for entire populations abroad. You see, it's one thing to discuss the legal status of plant-based medicine; it's quite another to confront the congressional votes that enable famine, displacement, and bombings. For instance, Senator Tim Kaine, according to OpenSecrets.org, received over $30,000 from pro-Israel PACs in the 2024 cycle. (Source: OpenSecrets.org). His voting record, not
surprisingly, aligns with continued unconditional aid to governments known for actions indistinguishable from 'criminalizing care' on a geopolitical scale. Funny how 'collateral damage' only gets attention when it's politically convenient or contained to smaller, less threatening narratives.
