Michael Bonventre "FIGHTS BACK!"

Listen (Mp3 - 13 mb) (membership required)

Michael Levine's best selling book "FIGHT BACK - How To Take Back Your Neighborhood, Schools and Families from the Drug Dealers" is and has been working in large cities across the US for several years.

The purpose of FIGHT BACK was to empower the American people to do what their trillion dollars in taxpayer dollars had failed to do, win the drug war that raged within their own families, schools and communities, and do it on their own. To teach the average citizen how to use the tools and tactics that the street experts knew were effective and that the drug barons feared most.

When FIGHT BACK was first published in 1991, it was reviewed by the Swedish Carnegie Institute as "The only anti-drug plan ever to come out of America that made any sense" and listed as "recommended reading for communities with drug problems" by President Clinton's Drug Policy Office. Yet, it got almost no coverage from American media. Media showed no interest in the fact that Fight Back tactics virtually wiped out drug trafficking in those few communities in which its tactical approach was utilized. Editors and TV News Producers showed no curiosity at to why, wherever FIGHT BACK appeared police agencies whose budgets and federal funding depend on numbers of arrests, came out against the program.

The local organization funded by the Partnership for a Drug Free America would not support us. One of their in-house memorandums said it clearly: "If the FIGHT BACK program is a success, it will take the wind out of the sails of the Partnership..." No journalist had the courage to point out that the media itself was receiving billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded advertising revenue for anti-drug ads that experts said were ìpromotingî drug use. Individuals who tried to bring the program into their own communities found that the drug dealers were a lot easier to defeat than the agencies and individuals who made a living from the no-win drug war. They came under immediate political, media and personal attack. It took as much courage for a citizen to brave the attacks of the ìgood guysî as it did to go against the drug barons. The true heroes of this trillion-dollar, no-win war on drugs that is now in its fourth decade, are those who have had and continue to have, the courage to go against the "good guys"-the special interests who make a living from losing.

The Expert Witness Show features one of those heroes tonight.
