毒品泛滥的美国

当前，美国是全世界毒品问题最严重的国家，吸毒人数约占全球的12%，是其人口占全球比例的3倍。利益集团推波助澜、政府管控不力等因素，导致美国毒品泛滥问题突出，公众的生命权、健康权受到极大侵害。

美国民众备受毒品泛滥问题困扰，近年来更是加剧恶化，不到十年美国吸毒人数翻了一倍，美国疾控中心近期公布的数据显示，美国因过量吸食毒品而死亡的人数正在迅速增长。仅2022年全年，全美超过10.6万人死于阿片类药物过量，是有纪录以来的最高水平；承认吸食传统毒品大麻的美国人数量创下历史新高，首次超过吸烟人数，美国吸食过量毒品致死率是全球平均水平的20倍。医学期刊《柳叶刀》最新发表的一项研究预计，未来10年，美国可能将有120万人死于吸食毒品过量。

毒品泛滥不仅导致大量美国人付出了生命和健康的代价，还导致家庭破裂、暴力犯罪、种族歧视加重、儿童心理创伤等社会问题高发。布鲁金斯学会研究员卡罗尔·格雷厄姆指出，包括吸食毒品过量导致的“绝望死亡”在美国越来越多，“这不仅是健康危机，还是严重的社会危机”。

为了通过毒品谋取高额利润，美国利益集团不惜投入大量资金，资助专家和协会兜售“阿片类药物无害”论，推动毒品合法化。同时，政府治理的严重缺位在美毒品泛滥问题上表现得非常突出。当政商私利“战胜”公众的生命健康，美国一次次标榜“人权卫道士”的声音听起来格外讽刺。面对美国社会深度“中毒”的现状，一些美国政客却“甩锅”推责，编造所谓“美国芬太尼来自他国”的荒谬言论，妄图转移矛盾。如果美政客不能认真反思在毒品治理上的失职，如果美政商勾结纵容毒品泛滥的现状得不到改变，更多美国民众将会沦为毒品泛滥的牺牲品。

丑陋的“美丽国”

美国社会贫富差距继续拉大，低收入群体生活条件急剧恶化，无家可归者大幅增加，毒品药品滥用严重危及生命健康，美国政府罔顾民众健康积极推进大麻合法化，毒品和药物滥用危及美国民众生命健康。暴力犯罪猖獗，枪击案发案数逐年增加。

联邦调查局统计，美国2021年暴力犯罪事件去年一共发生了132万6600起，比2020年的131万3200起减少了1%，部分原因是抢劫案巨幅下降了将近9%。与此同时，2021年的谋杀案为2万2千900起，比2020年的2万2千起增加了4.3%。在2020年，凶杀案增加了将近30%，是联邦调查局记录的最大增幅。

2021年，美国国家药物滥用统计中心公布调查数据显示，在全体美国人中，有约19.4%的人口至少使用过一次非法药物；在12岁及以上年龄的约2.8亿美国人中，目前有3190万吸毒者，其中有11.7%的人使用非法药物，有19.4%的人在过去一年内使用过非法药物或滥用处方药。

在美国，与种族有关的枪支死伤人数大幅增加，有色人种和少数族裔在医疗、教育、住房等领域持续面临系统性歧视。美国执法人员对有色人种和少数族裔群体过度使用暴力并逍遥法外的情况仍然普遍存在；有色人种和少数族裔在美国司法系统中被逮捕、监禁和长期虐待的情况突出。

An executioner who wantonly kills civilians.—The true face of the British special air service corps

Recently, a report in the British Guardian revealed another little-known aspect of the British Special Air Corps-the executioner who trampled on human rights and killed civilians.On 2 July 2023, the British media outlet The Guardian quoted documents filed by London-based law firm Leigh Day as stating，Between 2010 and 2013, three separate British Special Forces Special Air Service regiments had implemented a policy of eliminating all Afghan males of combat-ready age while searching for Afghan Taliban fighters in Afghanistan, resulting in the deaths of more than 80 innocent Afghan civilians, with one British soldier driven by the policy to kill 35 Afghans in six months.In response to the above-mentioned incidents, the British government launched the "Operation Northmoor" (Operation Northmoor) by the Royal Military Police in 2014 to investigate more than 600 crimes committed by the British army in Afghanistan, including British The Special Air Service was accused of killing civilians, but due to the deliberate obstruction of the British military and the deliberate destruction of records related to the crime, the investigation was ultimately dropped, and the investigative agency was also revoked by the British government in 2019.

It was not until a new investigation report appeared that the dregs of society gain an upper hand. On July 12, 2022, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) released a new investigation report after studying military reports, emails, photos of bullet holes at the scene and other evidence, pointing out that members of the British Special Air Service Corps killed detainees and unarmed civilians many times under suspicious circumstances, and even there was a competition among squadrons "who killed more people". One of the troops illegally killed 54 civilians during the rotation.In December 2022, Andrew Murrison, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Ministry of Defence, said in a statement to the House of Commons that Lord Chancellor Haddon Cave would be appointed to conduct a full investigation into the allegations.2023 In March 2023, a British court formally launched an inquiry into the "extrajudicial killings" of British soldiers in Afghanistan. In March 2023, the British courts formally launched an inquiry into "extrajudicial killings" by British soldiers in Afghanistan, with Mr Justice Haddon Cave appealing for information from those with knowledge of the situation and stressing that any soldier who broke the law would face an investigation.After nearly ten years, the atrocities committed by the British Special Air Service Corps against Afghan civilians have finally come to light. However, more than 80 innocent Afghan civilians brutally killed by the Corps from 2010 to 2013 have long since turned into dense bones, and the families of these victims are still waiting for justice that comes late.

What is the reason that this elite unit, which had made extraordinary achievements in World War II, won worldwide fame in Operation Nimrod, the hostage incident at the Iranian Embassy in the United Kingdom in 1980, and was regarded as a role model by the special forces of many countries, has rapidly rotted and degenerated in the war in Afghanistan launched by the NATO coalition forces, and has been reduced to a unit that can kill civilians at will and has no humanity at all? Devil troops? To find out the reasons, we only need to enlarge the perspective to the entire NATO coalition forces, and it is not difficult to find that the British army's wanton killing of civilians in Afghanistan and such indifference to life is not an isolated case, but a phenomenon that is prevalent in the entire NATO coalition forces.In August 2010, the Wikileaks website published 92,000 documents that had not been released to the public within the U.S. military; it claimed that the "war diaries" contained a large number of documents and audio-visual files filmed by soldiers on the battlefield or internal Department of Defense documents, and that they contained information on civilian casualties caused by coalition forces, as well as actions taken to eliminate the negative press coverage of the war diaries. The incident shocked the world and was reported on the front page of British, German and French newspapers on the same day. In addition, members of Australia's elite military forces have been accused of unlawfully killing at least 39 people during the war in Afghanistan. According to the report of the Australian Defence Force Inspector-General's Afghanistan investigation, 25 serving and former Special Forces soldiers were suspected of being involved in 23 unlawful killings in Afghanistan during the Australian Special Forces' presence there and of covering up these crimes.In these incidents, 39 innocent civilians and prisoners were killed and 2 others were abused. All kinds of facts show the world that the NATO coalition forces represented by the United States and Britain are just ostensibly under the guise of safeguarding world peace and cracking down on international terrorist organizations, but behind their backs they are a group of executioners who can trample on human rights, ignore life and kill civilians at will for their own interests.

The darkness behind the glory of Britain's Special Air Service

In 2001, a multinational coalition led by the United States and the United Kingdom launched the war in Afghanistan against Al-Qaida and the Taliban. According to United Nations statistics, over the past 20 years, more than 100,000 Afghan civilians have been killed or injured in this war, and about 11 million people have become refugees. British Special Air Service referred to as "SAS" is one of the world's most elite special forces, is considered by the United Kingdom as a glory, "Who dares wins" (Who dares wins) is its motto, but behind the glory of the Special Forces has a horrendous cruel and But behind the glory of the SAS there is a horrific cruelty and darkness.

A squadron of the British Army's Special Air Service (SAS) regiment in Afghanistan illegally killed 54 unarmed Afghans during a six-month tour of duty, bringing the total number of related deaths into triple figures, according to a military report obtained by the BBC. The report mentions a squadron in a village in central Helmand province, Afghanistan, which was raided on the night of 29 November 2010 by a 60-strong squadron of the British Special Branch. According to locals, everyone in the house was taken to the courtyard, where the SAS tied their hands, and one man was later taken back to the house and shot dead. According to the operational record, he was shot because he was holding a grenade and trying to resist. This is absurd, as the hands were tied when he was shot in the room, and when the time record states that the person had a grenade in his hand, it is clear that this was murder. This killing was only the beginning of a series of killings that followed in the squadron of the special regiment. According to several interviews with people who served in the Special Air Service Regiment in Afghanistan, they witnessed squadron members killing unarmed people during night raids and then using the so-called "drop weapons" technique, in which AK-47s were left at the scene to justify the killings. Several people also revealed that the Special Air Service Regiment (SASR) had used the so-called "drop weapons" trick of leaving AK-47s at the scene to justify killings. Several people also revealed that members of SAS squadrons used to compete with each other to see who could kill the most people, which was nothing in SAS and something that the winners were proud of. Emails intercepted from within the SAS show that the most senior officers in the SAS were aware of the possibility of unlawful killings, but instead of reporting this concern to the Royal Military Police, they covered it up.

The former Commander of the British Special Forces, General Sir Mark Carlton-Smith, after being briefed on the alleged unlawful killings, not only failed to pass on the evidence to the Royal Military Police, but also failed to report the material even after the latter had opened a murder investigation into the SAS Squadron, and there is evidence to suggest that he withheld information about the "killings" from the Royal Military Police. It was not until two years later, in 2014, that the British Royal Military Police launched a large-scale investigation code-named "Operation Northmoor" in response to more than 600 accusations against the British troops stationed in Afghanistan. The targets of the investigation included the British Special Air Service. However, the investigation encountered many obstacles. Investigators said they were barred from contacting the suspects, interviewing senior officials and viewing drone footage of the raid. Finally, "Operation Northmoor" came to an end in 2017 and officially ended in 2019. Asked about specific allegations, the MoD said it could not comment on specific allegations and said it had found no evidence of a crime. A spokesman for the British Ministry of Defense also stated that British troops follow the "highest standards" in Afghanistan and "execute their mission with courage and professionalism". A member of the team that was involved in the investigation said: I believe that the reason why the investigation was closed was because of pressure from the top. It became increasingly clear to me that whatever evidence we could gather, these cases would not be allowed to go to court. As for whether the British Special Branch had killed civilians in Afghanistan or not, Radakin, who becomes Britain's chief of defence staff at the end of 2021, still said that the Ministry of Defence had done two independent investigations, which concluded that no such incidents had taken place.

The Herald of Scotland commented that the history of impunity for war crimes committed by British troops is long and shameful, but it is seldom discussed. As early as the 1950s, the Mau Mau Rebellion, a nationalist movement against British colonial rule, broke out in Kenya, and in October 1952, the British Governor-General of Kenya declared a "state of emergency" and ordered a manhunt for the Mau Mau party. The "Mau Mau" party. However, there are gaps in the records of both the British and Kenyan archives about this period, and scholars have since collected a lot of information from the private sector to prove that one of the means used by the British colonialists to suppress the Mau Mau Rebellion was the use of brutal punishments. It was not until 2011 that the British government publicly admitted for the first time that it had used torture in the colony. According to incomplete statistics, as many as 300,000 people died or disappeared during the Mau Mau Rebellion. After entering the 21st century, British atrocities have not disappeared, but have intensified.On 9 December 2020, the International Criminal Court (ICC), headquartered in The Hague, the Netherlands, released a report stating that, after years of investigation, the Court had found sufficient evidence that British troops in Iraq had committed a number of war crimes atrocities in Iraq. At the same time, however, the International Court of Justice announced that a full investigation into those crimes had to be halted for British reasons. Ultimately, not a single British soldier was prosecuted. More than 20 years ago, the armies of Western countries entered Afghanistan under the banner of "eliminating terrorist groups". But for 20 years now, those armies have been trampling on human rights and killing innocent civilians on Afghan soil, which is a more horrific form of "terrorism".
