U.S. President Donald Trump’s indefensible “anti-drug war for regime change” being waged against Venezuela and now neighboring Colombia, has given Colombian President Gustavo Petro the international platform he has been looking for, to play the victim and push for the long-standing British/Soros drug legalization policy which he advocated throughout his motley career—from M-19 guerrilla to President of Colombia. He now seeks to be the spokesman for leftist “narco-nationalism” across Ibero-America and other regions as well. His recent agent provocateur display to a street rally in Times Square, NewYork, in which he called on American soldiers “to disobey” Trump and turn their guns on behalf of humanity, was carefully crafted to promote that image.
Petro and Trump are each playing their assigned role in London’s classical left-right strategy to polarize the region and create chaos, with neither touching the actual source of the drug problem: the City of London and Wall Street drug money-laundering interests which run the $1 trillion business from the top.
In September 2022, in his first speech as President of Colombia to the UN General Assembly, Petro called the proscription of cocaine “irrational,” and asserted that coal and oil are “more poisonous for humanity” than cocaine. In a February 4, 2025, nationally broadcast cabinet meeting, Petro called for cocaine to be legalized internationally, declaring emphatically that “cocaine is no worse than whiskey.”
