ఆసనాటలు ఆనిటourt I may be wrong, but I think this is the first one, and today this is what we are going to do so you don't speculate what am I going to talk about. I will talk about the aftermath of the General Assembly, the residual matters that need to be dealt with in accordance with our constitution, with our regulations and certain procedures that need to be followed. For those who are not in the party, they may not be fully aware of what ought to happen after the General Assembly. And then I will also cover just a summary of what we intend to do for this country. I think it's important that we focus our business, our activities as a party, as a nation on those things that will better the lives of the people around. I see too much squabbling, I see too much greed in this economy, this country, especially from those that are even the responsibility of the public office. I see too much squabbling for better vehicles when there is no oxygen in the hospitals, and that's all they do. You open a newspaper, you open a social media platform, they are talking about things that don't benefit the people. I want us to change the agenda, I want this party to change the agenda. The agenda is to save the people's hand. I believe you agree with me. And I want to start with just that, then end with the stage after the General Assembly. We as a party have a passion on economy and jobs. Everything hinges on a functioning economy. I mean everything, everything. You want better healthcare, you need an economy run properly to support to fund healthcare. You want education, our children go to school, you need a functioning economy, well run economy, efficient prudent, without corruption to fund education. You want cheaper minimum, we need an economy run properly in agriculture to deliver more production at a lower cost to make every family afford three meals a day. You want to look after the sick, the weak, the old. You want social cash transfer. It doesn't drop from heaven. It comes from an entrepreneurial, well run economy with a clear vision and leadership and management capabilities. That's what this party brings to the table, to this country. So jobs and economy, business opportunities, very critical going forward into 2021, August 12, very critical. And I would like all our members to focus our minds on winning and after winning delivery for the people. All our members, especially the newly elected members. I'll come to that short. So the UPN has a clear and achievable agenda to revive our ailing economy and create millions of jobs. Millions of jobs. And indeed business opportunities for our citizens. We define jobs to mean a formal job, self employment, which comes through running your own small business, medium scale business, employing yourself, your family and other people. That's how we define jobs, income opportunities. So we are ready for that. We are well placed to do that. In that space, I want to share just nine pillars. Members of this party ought to familiarize themselves. You're the owners of these pillars. But more important for those that say things that are anchored on ignorance. And we forgive them. And that's what the short public office for. To project ignorance. How can you run a country like that? Never works and we've seen it fail. Never works and I'm grateful that Zambia have opened their eyes and ears. So key pillars of our economic recovery. We all know that economy, the lyric is gone. Nothing is happening. So we have a focal point or platform of pillars to revive our economy. Number one, we have a competent team in this party. Outside this party in this country. And wherever the skills may be. But the Zambian skills, competent. Starting with this party, very, very competent. That's number one. Because you can't implement anything without a team to do that. A dedicated team. Number two, we will focus on cutting waste. No waste for expenditure. No nonsensical luxuries. I shall repeat that. I shall repeat that. We will cut waste for expenditure. Consumption oriented expenditure. Focus on revenue best expenditure.  When we close the general assembly. I did mention and I went on to say the same at Radio Phoenix. That under the UPN it's not possible for ministers to drive VXs. Three of them per person. Three of them. One is too much already. But three of them. But now I'm saying in case you didn't hear me well. Not a single VX worth millions of Kwacha in dollars. Two hundred and fifty thousand million. Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The drive of such a vehicle must be ashamed.   So what's the value of your VX? Zero shame. I knew that even some members in our party who are aspiring to drive those VXs and started sharing social medias. We catch you. We now know what you are saying in public office. You are not different from this man for us. You are not different from this man for us. We see you now. We see you why you are campaigning to become an NMC man. Because this car that out there will not benefit from that VX. But this car that will benefit from oxygen will benefit from a scholarship or a child. This car that will benefit from other things. But I never say that you can't drive a VX.  You are fine. Everybody is fine. Cut your own check. We are here to bring serious business to this country. Not the jokes we see everyday. Number three. We will stop the leakages caused by corruption. Simple straight. No need to repeat that. Zero tolerance to corruption. Number four. We will restructure the national debt to make it cheaper and manageable and in the longer term. Medium to longer term. Medium to longer term. From our economic revenue generation measures we should be able to live within our means and do away with unnecessary debt which have been number done to us by people we told in 2012-2013 not to borrow and they called us beta. The chickens have come home to roast. The debt mountain is insurmountable. The figures they were denying we told them now you have borrowed 16-17 billion. They said no. Now the figures are floating to well over 23 billion dollars. Your economy is only 27 billion dollars. So you are in debt. Even your chair in the house technically in financial terms it's ʻilipan konboli. Ka puna ka ʻamungandia. Ka mene muna zi gulila. People have put it on konboli. That's part of the national debt because the assets of this country are weighed against the lab villages. That is a meaning. We shall do that without fail. We have the capability, the skills. Remember, number one I talked about the competent team. We have those skills here and some of you who are willing and they are already offering their national duty services to this party through this party and we have a plan how to deal with that well ahead of 12 August 2021. You will see the pronouncements on the day we will be signing straight into business because we've been planning all these years. We've been working. We've been looking at what is going wrong and how to fix it and indeed we shall fix it. No question about it. Number five, we will diversify our economy through increased investment in agriculture and tourism in manufacturing, value addition. Right? And the digital economy which is a game changer. We will use science and technology to lower the cost of doing business to deliver services to our people. What are those services? Health services on the digital platform. You heard me. Health services. A doctor should be able to provide a prescription to a person in computer while the doctor is in Osaka but on the digital platform and the prescribed medicine will not be given through a piece of paper code prescription and asking a computer colleague of mine to go to a drug store which does not exist there. The medicine will be available in capital in Shangon. In Shisekano. Indeed. Indeed. Can you ask about that? Indeed. In Chif Kambombo. In Chama. Indeed. In Kaffa Mila. Leveraging on the technology to be able to deliver services at a lower cost. The doctor doesn't have to fly to a computer where there is no airstrip but can deliver the services. Connect what the doctor is doing with a drug supply system. What a beauty. It's real time. Meaning symptoms of time. Start visualizing how your life will change. Amina Zambia. Then you will have no doubt how to vote on the 12th of August. We have listened to too much noise. Everyone is just making noise. And noise meaning nothing. We want to talk solutions. We want to bring solutions, walk the talk. We will use that platform to deliver medical services, to deliver agricultural services. How to improve your production bank on that digital platform. We shall use it to deliver financial services. Financial services store in a market in Tamboli market next to a woman trader who needs capital. She will be able to access the capital next door to her store in Tamboli market because there will be a financial services center where it will be connected on a digital platform and she can access credit right next door to her store. I can go on. Sixth, we want to enable access to capital for zambian entrepreneurs. I touched it on the market as an example. But you cannot develop small to medium scale enterprises to create jobs for the owners and other people without capital, without financial support. And that's why I would rather a minister drives a high-lifes double cup. It has air condition. It is four wheel drive. What's wrong with that? And the savings from the VX we can provide the funds required to give soft loans to our small businesses. That is a fair. That's an equitable mutualization of natural resources. How many ministers are there? 2030. Why should they be coupling 20% of the national revenue when 17 million zambians are not even able to have capital at a fair price? Is that an argument we should make? I'm watching your social media platforms. I'm watching, I'm reading what you are writing there. I'm connecting to the names. Our agenda is not part of your agenda. I'm watching. Our agenda is those youth. Imagine. That's why I get tear gas. That's why I get arrested for treason, having committed no crime. And I come out and continue. It's for that woman who is pregnant with twins who I found in radio series. All her twins can have a better life. Mr.  Researchers, a colleague who's been with me in business and is of a different kind. From the years we were in school together in our Masters Program, we were together in business with friends, we do business together, and he says that point you made or followed, and you say that I will not be your partner anymore. And last night he called me and said, go and talk about it tomorrow. He's doing very well, he's sitting well with international investors. I said, yeah, our primary interest is the people of Zambia. Come on now. But we know how to relate this people of Zambia, what they want and how to make it available. Eight, we want to increase the exports. The bank of Zambia governor, when he was appointed, we gave him advice, he scorned on our advice. Last week he confessed, we told him that we are going to destroy the reserves, international reserves because you are not pushing the economy side, the production side, you are pushing the consumption side, you are using reserves to support the currency you are destroying. We were called names. Last week he confessed that the foreign exchange reserves are depleted to dangerous levels. Didn't we tell you what was your reaction? We have a remedy for that. We have a remedy for that. Many amongst many remedies for that is to increase our exports, to increase our foreign exchange endings. But we don't want to export raw materials, we want to export value added materials. Let me give you the simplest example. Combo needs minimum. All we need to do is to lower the cost of producing in agriculture. Then we can produce more maize, supply more millimetre to our people. First, that's our fiscal, the excess we export to Congo in millimetre, not in maize terms. And just that customer list is there.  Just on our noses there, we earn a lot of money. That's all. Does it require rocket scientists to do that? Let me tell you something else. Which is gold on the surface. And we're already looking at what is not being done. We're not blaming anybody. You can't blame people who are incompetent. We knew they were incompetent. We've said it enough. Our energy is now to say, what are the solutions? Can someone tell me the price of copper today? The turn. $9000 per turn. Now, you have to dig there. The costs are very high. Let me tell you. There is copper on the surface which you can grow called cashew nuts. The price of cashew is over $10,000 per turn, more than the price of copper. It only takes three to four years and you have your production on stream. Slowly, diversification, clear mindset, looking at the value, more value. We spend the dollar on copper or on the dollar on cashew nuts. Our return on cashew nuts is more than the difference which you think is 10 minus 1. It's $1. It's not $1 because the cost of producing cashew is much, much lower than the cost of producing copper. And your differential is huge and it will begin to add on to your foreign exchange. Tanzania aims more than $1 billion from cashew. Our conditions for growing cashew here are much better than Tanzania. Their tips being made to revive cashew in western province is a child's play. That's a child's play. That's an example. Increase exports because after this press conference, someone will post on their platform that they were posting were seeing a Tongan national anthem. As someone said they were somewhere drinking, they came and found the last dance and said the whole national anthem was a Tongan. When the national anthem was Zambia, the rainbow. So before they ask that question, I want to say to them that do not worry about those minor issues. We worked them out already. We know what needs to do. These men and women know what needs to be done with proper guidance. They actually guide us. They guide me. But you have to know how to use the skills. So we increase exports. Why export maize to Botswana? They need stock feet. So who make the stock feet for me? For us. Our first trips around the country will be in the neighbors, neighboring countries, Congo. What do you need? Botswana, what do you need? Our trip will not be on the Gulf Stream. It will be on a, if you like, Zoom or another platform. That will be our first visit to the neighboring countries. And we will bring orders. This president will be the chief salesman for Zambia. The chief marketing officer for Zambia. Chief investment officer for Zambia. And we bring those orders for you now to manufacture. It's for the youth. It's for the medium scale. It's for the large scale. Then you sell. That is my job. Not to travel all over to look for social happiness. So time for that. Zambia is a headache. Last, we want to reduce taxes. To stimulate industries and to allow individuals and homes to take more money, to leave more money in their hands. Because from our intrinsic training is that money in the hands of the owners who earn it, the workers, the business people will be better used than money in a public place where people are pushing to buy the excess. So you leave more money in the hands of the owners who know how to use it better and they improve their lives. Simple thinking. So we commit to you. That's the last point. That's the last point. Now, once we have done this amongst others, having delivered the call over our intention to form government to enter public office, our economic revolution will arise. I have no doubt. I know some can't see it. I see it myself from A to Z. And many of these men and women see shared vision. So once we are done with these and others, we definitely are going to have an economic turnaround, an economic revolution. It will be a question of what have we achieved when but the targets will be there and will reverse the decline that you see today in this country. This will definitely put more food on the tables of Zambia. Affordable food. This will raise the standard of living for our people. All our people again. I'm not talking about a few buildings at Forest 27. I'm not interested in lots. I'm interested in the child, in the woman, in the student. Instead of giving students a big bus, we will give them pieces, improved pieces, improved so that they can enter. So the bus to go where? It is COVID to go where? Also understand the environment to go where? But a better mirror allows a better BC will enable them to focus on their studies. Books, textbooks and other things. That won't a different sign. Mine won't. Mine won't again. Let me assure you there is no hatred. There is no brutality that can distract us from this agenda. No hatred, no brutality that will distract us from this agenda. Nothing from this vision. You can go and brutalize innocent in-laws of Etish. And by the way, that kitchen they are showing as my in-laws house, that is a village grass-starched kitchen which has the best ventilation and there are chicks in that house that are showing and demonizing Etish. My wife's cousins who are her uncle's children live in a better house. Just next door. But someone chose to put that as a house and make noise. My mother-in-law lives in a village, in a house which has self-contained toilets, water-bond toilets and a shower, everything. She is a rancher herself at 90. Give her credit. At 90 she is a rancher. So, just to make you feel at ease and not be digressed from that head. That's the head I'm talking about. I asked my wife to go and visit her cousins. She would take some media. Then hop over about 10 km away from there 15-20 km and visit her mother and you can take footage of her house. And you talk to her as generous. Is that what we want to spend time on? There was a crime committed there. First, Tatongo said no, there was no attack. A day later they said no, there was an attack but it wasn't the only one. There were attacks elsewhere. There should be no raids to people who are innocent. That is the issue. So, that's what I'm referring to. There is no hatred, no brutality that will divert us from this agenda. Nothing. Zero. We know whatever they do, we have a God, we have God. And he's a fair God. We know that we have God and he's a fair God and he will not allow his children, the children of Zambia to suffer any longer. They will not allow that. I want to assure you after our theme of office is over Zambians will remember how we give them jobs how we give them business opportunities how we ensure that no one beat them up in a market low and order and how their rights, freedoms will be protected and how they will not send night and days in few things police and jail cells for crimes not committed because the criminal justice system will be reformed to ensure that nobody is arrested before any investigation and anyone arrested is taken to court within the law 48 hours and they are given bail with almost no money involved so that they can leave the jail if it is a bondable or a bearable fence and will do two things. We don't punish the innocent before they found guilt two will decongest the prisons and there will be better food, diabetes and mattresses in the prison Zambians will remember for that they will remember for that I have no doubt in my mind and they will remember that they raised children during our time and raised them well and sent them to school they didn't have to have a father yes it's nice to have a father in the home they didn't have to have to do that right? even if a mother is a single mother she will be proud that during our time she is able to raise her children properly feed them properly send them to school with the support of the UPND government that is what you should remember that too we can visualize and we are confident to say it before we take office so that you can create an order a checklist then you can do an order trail so that you can do the order trail and you can do the order trail do your own order trail but we are proud we are confident we will deliver together we will rebuild our country we are the change that our country is hoping for and truly deserves we are the change that our country is hoping for and truly deserves that's our economic front that's our economic front now very briefly post-general assembly post-general assembly thank you to those who made it international management and all the structures below more importantly thank you to those that did not make it in that role but because there is a lot of work for you to perform outside of one body and that job is to work together to deliver UPND into government simple, great that is where these benefits I was talking about will come from unless and until we form government the logic is simple so for those that made it I want to repeat what I said it's your duty to reach out to others I've heard people say oh we did well we to arrive at Nyankula who did you Nyankula you should be cuddling that individual who is talented but does not make it and ask them to play a part in asking them so me I was elected have you seen me celebrate it is a heavy battle in my brain I'm not sleeping well because I'm saying we have to deliver that should be in your mind as well to arrive at Nyankula I'm listening watching on social media watching I'm listening reach out to everybody reach out to those who didn't make it chairman reach out to those you need them they are your machines to deliver what we want you are the district chairman reach out to those who didn't make it reach out to them soon you realize how heavy it is to deliver so may have known it from day one from the day I decided to help the public I knew how tough it was and I said we will be tougher we will be equal to the task but we need others to work with us so I will return to this a little bit but let me just comment on PF dishing out cash and price all over the shop I ask you the question those fellows you know them before they went into the PF government five years ago they have capacity to dish out cash so where have they found the cash the economy has declined from 6% to minus 4% where have they found the money it is stolen money there is no doubt about it it is stolen money this is Aryan culture to this country you are going to spoil your children they will start stealing from your bedroom very soon because they think that your bedroom is a bank account is a bank vault you are destroying the moral fiber of our country people who wait for their money never use it that way never those children you are spoiling let me tell you you are buying beaimers 4 and they are 14 years old you are bewitching them they will never ever run homes and families properly when you are not there to steal any more money after close home as people teach your children to focus on school not luxurious expenditure so since we know it is not their money here is my counsel here is my advice take the money when they offer it to you take it they offer you to my hundred tell them you have 20 waters in the family can they give you 10,000 they give you 10 they give you 10 say oh naibara neighbor in the controller one area he passes it at 20,000 we are young people we are young people take the money take the buses honestly where does anyone who have nothing before they went to government can dish out these things buying mini buses for friends we want to teach the people of Zambia how to fish how to farm they can have every day and they can fish every day rather than only giving them in the last 2 months before the election imagine the Ramas they will not give you money they will not give you money so take the money take the buses take whatever they offer you and ask for more that is my message they give you crumbs after stealing your bread they steal your bread then they give you crumbs and say praise me there is a young man I see out there on the copper they are behaving like just a rock many say they behave like a rock I am not here to mention names because I will lose track of I told you hatred brutally to not change our focus so even that should not change our focus so touch your bread they offer you crumbs I am even encouraging things now steal from them yes that is your money steal from these people ministers who are getting money still from them then you came to your neighbor so they can buy me meal but when we come in they will be not stealing because because they give you crumbs opportunities for change come to August even they give you gifts of anything we are very very we are very very we are very very we are very very we are very very very very good back to NMC we have the most diverse NMC the most diverse we are competent members down provincial teams up to the branches competent yes this is what others have failed to do to bring the whole country on the decision table we have done it Nika Jionkochabi when we adopted the European cabinet to reflect the first of zombie everybody will be there I am repeating what I said before so we are lucky we are grateful but that is because of deep thought processes that went into designing the ballot paper designing our objectives so I want to thank everybody who managed to agree to reunite this country because that is what it is all about to reunite this country to rebuild it on the other side of the coin one side is to reunite the country the other side of the coin is to rebuild the country to

the vice president Utu Pu Duan Amayo We wanted to take questions earlier but because we have been swallowed in the canvas of history today because destiny has opened its home to our aspirations as a political party to Asia leadership that cares for humanity. I have proposed to the president which he has seconded that any questions can be submitted later on for now we would like to let this simmer and be able to close maybe two just two, we don't want to be accused of a bad start the president has suggested that we take two questions one lady, one man if there is any media only please and related to our activities for today media house so please come to the front sir I need a lady I need a lady to come just two questions in the interest of time please now he is starting we need a lady now after him may I take this opportunity to congratulate you on your election as a you can be president they also congratulate madam for president my name is Afonso from the new media newspaper Mr president indeed you did announce that being elected to leadership especially your position is a heavy burden I just want to find out from you Mr president how has been your life under the leadership of the UPND secondly we said one question in the interest of time thank you so much president president I would like to find out among the nine strategies that you mentioned you talked about the issue of debt but in a country which is so indebted like ours where we have seen the external debt combined with internal debt go to over a trillion how do you we have heard your famous strategy so we have not heard exactly what you do to ensure that the debt situation is tackled so I would like to find out what are the strategies you are putting in place to ensure that this debt will have is tackled to continue the development of the country I will speak loudly I will speak loudly thank you very much Afonso you vision leadership is a heavy burden how has it been for you in the UPND very simple answer I said it before that many people want to be president political parties but very few are presidents of viable parties because it is tough I said you have to dig down into your values into your commitment to the people of Zambia into what you believe in and then work diligently work hard there is nothing called lucky doesn't exist you have to plan you have to execute it is a heavy burden it has been tough but I think what we have done to bring the party to where it is today is an assessment you can all make on your own when we took over this party we were 27% of the national vote today you know where we are over 50% of the national vote that is not a job but it is not me alone it's the team is cuddling each other guiding each other and telling each other this is unacceptable because it hurts the people of Zambia so let's work together you have to work together but I think you have to work together you have to work together because you have to work together you have to work together because you have to work together we are on top of it we are on top of it we are on top of it believers, thank you very much President, President of Parliament past and present NMC members members of the media ladies and gentlemen it's been a pleasure to have you here today to join us as history was made as a new dawn for Zambia awaits and we are here We thank you for today, we thank you for the wisdom for today, we thank you for the grace of uniting us as a party, we thank you for the vision that has been cast and as you declared in the book of Habakkuk, write down the vision and make it plain, that he that sees it may run with it, Lord we see the vision and we shall run with it for a better zombie in Jesus name. As we head out to the honour of BNG 2636, kind a movie of...


Uh-oh, what's going on here? Hey, that's larceny, son. Seems as though kids are always hungry. And he'll get away with it, just like you and I did. Look at this gal. She's been eating this way for years. She's in a fine shape. It's just a habit. It all boils down to the fact that we've eaten for so long, we think we're experts. And most of the time, we don't even know what we're eating. There's a full course meal, donuts and coffee. We all learn to eat at home. And homes all over the USA are very much like this one, except that in different parts of the country, different foods are preferred. In some homes, meat is eaten once or twice a day. In other homes, fish or hominy grits and gravy are eaten more often than meat. Some families eat their big meal of the day in the evening. Others eat their heavy meal in the middle of the day. American children don't have to think much about the food they eat because there is one thing that is found in most American homes, a strong guiding hand at the dinner table. Waves goodbye to her son and the boy who doesn't like carrots finds himself wearing a suntan suit. In the army, there are chowhounds and athletes. And mess call is almost as popular as pay call. Soldiers don't have to think about the food that they eat either, but in the army, there is no one to make you eat a food that you don't like. Often, the food items served in the mess hall will not be the same as the ones you were used to at home. If a man is from one part of our country, he may think that the army serves too much meat. But if he comes from another section, he may have exactly the opposite opinion. Some men complain that army food is too heavy. They'd like to have more salads. Obviously, it's impossible for the army to give every man exactly the kind of food that he likes. Having eaten about a third of the food that they took from the serving line, our friends scrape a tray full of the vitamins and minerals that their bodies need into the garbage can. Two or three times a day, the boys wander over to the PX. Naturally, they're hungry. They threw away most of their dinner. If these men were at home, their mothers and wives would put an end to their foolishness and fast. But the army meal planners aren't able to check up on each individual the way a mother does. That wasn't propaganda you heard when you were in basic. The army does have meal planners. They do their planning in the headquarters of the quartermaster corps in Washington. Every month, the quartermaster dietitians make a master menu. This menu is used by every mess hall in the army. Small changes are made when the foods that are listed aren't available. The master menu tells the mess steward what to serve for each meal and what quantities he will need for the number of men who eat at his mess. But before the menu can be sent to the mess steward, it goes to the nutrition section of the surgeon general's office for approval. At the surgeon general's office, the menu is received by medical department officers who have expert knowledge of the effect of food on your body. The nutrition experts take the menu apart meal by meal and check on the nutritional value of each day's food. They make sure that your diet has all of the vitamins and minerals that you need to do a day's work. Take this steak, for example. To you or me, it's a juicy piece of good red meat. But to the experts in the nutrition section, it means 625 calories, 77 grams of protein, 35 grams of fat, no carbohydrate, and a fair amount of minerals and good quantities of vitamins. Yes. These nutrition men have an entirely different attitude toward food than you or I have. At the Army Post or Air Base, the local menu board reviews the master menu to fit local food acceptability and availability of fresh meats, vegetables, and fruits. When most of us eat a meal, we think this food is sour or it's sweet. We like this. We don't like that. But when an army nutrition expert looks at the same meal, he thinks baked beans are a good source of protein. Whole wheat bread is rich in niacin and phosphorus. Butter has a high fat content. Tomatoes are high in vitamin C. Sugar is almost pure carbohydrate. Cream is rich in vitamin D. Fortunately, we don't have to think of all these things. We're lucky to have nutrition experts to think of them for us. All that we have to do is to eat all of the diet that they plan for us. And to make sure that we always get a balanced diet, there's a formula that works whether we're eating in the mess hall or at the rifle range or on a weekend pass at the best hotel in town. The formula is a simple list of seven basic foods. They are milk, vegetables, fruits, eggs, meat, fish, or dried beans, cereals or bread, and butter.  The formula is easy to remember and is absolutely dependable. A pint of milk a day, either fresh or in cooked foods, two vegetables and a serving of potatoes, fruit twice a day, eggs several times a week, meat, cheese, fish, or dried beans each day, cereal for breakfast, and bread with each meal, and use butter on your bread. There's not much to that, is there? It's the kind of meal the army serves every day. And just to make sure that everyone gets enough to eat, the army throws in taste-tempting extras that add nutrients to the diet. You can't stay healthy if you don't feed your body properly. That's why the army takes nutrition so seriously. These men are taking part in a ration test out at Camp Carson, Colorado. There is no guesswork about the army's diet. Every new ration is thoroughly tested. For 30 days, six companies of men are fed various types of rations. Some of them are allowed to choose any food that they want from any of the rations in order to find out which foods are preferred by most men. Others are given a very strictly controlled diet. Everyone's physical condition is carefully checked before the test starts. Then, at regular intervals throughout the test, they are rechecked. During the 30-day testing period, the men take strenuous calisthenics. An accurate record is kept of the amount of work each man does. After 15 to 20 days on a well-balanced and strictly controlled diet, the men were amazed at their increase in physical endurance and their general feeling of well-being. There's rough mountain country near Camp Carson, and the men on the diet test became familiar with every inch of it. Climbing the face of a cliff is a job that uses every muscle in a man's body. It requires a delicate sense of balance. You really have to be in top shape to do work like this. And, brother, let me tell you that it's a darn good thing these fellows aren't trying to climb mountains on a bottle of soda pop and a box of cookies from the PX. Coming down from the top is a lot faster, but it sure takes a lot of know-how. At the end of the 30-day period, the tests given to the men at the beginning of the experiment are repeated. The tests are carefully controlled so that minor changes in physical endureances are discovered. The information from the entire 30-day test is carefully compiled, and a report is prepared. Copies of the report are sent to all of the War Department agencies that help in planning the army's diet. What army is this fellow in? He doesn't want to eat? Oh, I don't want no breakfast. Oh, yes, you do.  OK, just a cup of coffee, or maybe two cups of coffee.  You've got to have an orange for vitamin C, bacon and eggs for protein. Well, maybe someday each of us will have a personal mess steward to manage our diets. Just maybe, mind you. But until that day comes, we'll have to depend on the dietitians and nutrition experts of the army. We'll have to be our own managers. Easy if you remember the rule of the seven basic foods. Make it your business to get a pint of milk in some form every day. Two vegetables and a serving of potatoes. Fruit, twice a day. Eggs, several times a week. Meat, cheese, fish, or dried beans each day. Cereal for breakfast. And bread with butter at each meal. These foods are available in every mess hall and will furnish a balanced diet if eaten every day. You don't need fancy foods or so-called health foods or anything, but plain, wholesome, every day foods to feel fit and to stay healthy. You've probably heard it a hundred times. An army marches on its stomach. Well, there's more truth than poetry to that one soldier. If you want to feel right, you've got to eat right.


Government is not a monolithic thing, which is your enemy. It's a multitudinous thing, which is your enemy. Our dream was to enable the future of human freedom. In the early 1990s, a group of mathematicians, misfits, hackers and hobbyists came together around a shared belief that the internet would either demolish artificial walls or lay the groundwork for an Orwellian state. We can prevent the Ministry of Truth. They saw a branch of mathematics called cryptography as a weapon against central planning and surveillance in this new virtual world. And what is a cypherpunk? Cypherpunks are cryptography activists. The more I realized how it was a really pivotal technology for society. The National Security Agency declared the unrestrained public discussion of cryptographic research threatened our national security. I saw this as the critical fork in the road for the future of human freedom. Coming up, reason presents a four-part series and a movement that foresaw both the promise and the peril that lay ahead when the internet upended the world. It's like standing on top of the mountain and seeing that this is out there. You people who are here can say, OK, what kind of world do we really want to build and build it? Imagine, if you will, sitting down to your morning coffee, turning on your home computer to read the day's newspaper. Well, it's not as far-fetched as it may seem. The freedom issues were very important to us. This is a sample of what you can order through your computer. It combines the power of your computer with the convenience of your telephone. We saw that information technology could create a 1984-style tyrannical top-down control society, or it could develop into something that is a decentralized enabler of human freedom. And even back then, our dream was to enable the future of human freedom. In the late 1980s, at the dawn of the online age, a group of young computer scientists in Silicon Valley started grappling with what this new technology would mean for society. We took a look at the potential of computer systems and saw that for everything about civilization that enables it to work, we can enable it to work much better. The most influential figure in what would become the cypherpunk movement was the physicist Tim May, who envisioned the future internet as a place for what he would dub crypto-anarchy, where lawbreakers' radicals and political dissidents could shield their activities from government surveillance and control. People doing things that didn't require permissions from anyone because the people were untraceable and couldn't be stopped. But there was another group that saw the potential of computers to remake society gradually from within by decentralizing commerce and improving the dissemination of knowledge. They were dubbed the high-tech hyacinths because their worldview was influenced by the work of Austrian economist Friedrich Hayek. The fundamental insights of Hayekian economics was how separately formulated plans tend to mesh well. And we saw electronic media as an enabler of coordination, the complexity that the world previously was really not capable of. The clash of visions between the high-tech hyacinths who wanted to build a borderless, frictionless global marketplace and the crypto-anarchists who saw the internet as a technological means of undermining all governments set the course for the cypherpunk movement. If May was the father of crypto-anarchy, the central figure for the high-tech hyacinths was the economist and entrepreneur Phil Salem. Now if you own a personal computer, we are told you can shop at home in what's called the electronic mall. It was a few years before the invention of the World Wide Web, but computer companies were offering a new type of service in which customers could connect through their phone lines to post messages to a bulletin board, check their horoscopes, or go shopping. You can buy items from department stores ranging from Nordstroms to Neiman Marcus, all via computer screen. Salem, whose outlook was shaped by his careful reading of Hayek, understood that these services weren't merely a curiosity or a digital version of the old mail order catalog. They were the beginning of something that had the potential to one day erase national boundaries through trade and undermine government power. In a prescient 1991 essay, he foresaw how the internet would change the world by 1995, 2000, and beyond. The static role of store and shopper, seller and buyer, author and reader, systems defined by their one-way information flows will be replaced by new forms of media, enabling two-way information flows. Before getting involved with computers, Salem had run a private rocket company and had co-authored a congressional study critical of NASA's wasteful spending. But in his view, there was continuity between his interests in space travel and computing because in both industries, technology's purpose was to drive down the transaction costs that impede human activity, making it feasible to explore new frontiers and interact in ways that would otherwise be prohibitively expensive. Now, thanks to breakthroughs in computing, the ability to buy or obtain exactly the information you need, when you want it, and the form you want it, is about to explode at a speed, unmatched since the invention of printing. But Salem was foremost an entrepreneur, and in the mid-1980s he set out to launch one of those platforms for buying and selling information. He called it the American Information Exchange, or AMEX. This business that we're doing is to make possible a new kind of thing, which is being able to buy and sell information online. AMEX was a radical idea in the mid-1980s. Users could buy or sell advice about the real estate market, writing software, or what companies to invest in. Now you can say to somebody, so it's like eBay or like Price Line or like Amazon, when we try to explain this to people, they simply couldn't get it, they could not wrap their heads around this. Some of them, I think, couldn't imagine the computational end of it. Milton Friedman didn't get it. Though it was similar in ways to the online marketplaces that would launch a decade later, AMEX was more than just an idea before its time. What set it apart was its grounding in political philosophy and its lofty goal of elevating individual decision-making over central planning. It was an instantiation of Austrian economics, now put into code and put online. Something like this could have profound human consequences, and that was the vision. A fluid, transaction-oriented market system with two-way feedback, Salem wrote, would result in crowding out monolithic, mostly government bureaucracies. We were laying the philosophical foundations of what is e-commerce, that you can now have creative explosion. It's going to change the world. Yes, that's right. Intermediating among large populations of human beings through electronic means results in all kinds of fascinating, emergent and social behavior. AMEX's chief architect was the pioneering software engineer, Chip Morningstar, who had come from a stint at George Lucas' production studio, where he oversaw the creation of Habitat, which was one of the first online virtual communities. After joining AMEX, Morningstar co-authored an essay, which argued that in building a world in software, detailed central planning is impossible. The world is just more complicated. People are more complicated. You cannot know what all their goals are. What you can do is you can put them into an environment in which certain kinds of things are possible. What you can't do is tell people what they want. Phil Salem, Mark Miller, and Chip Morningstar's ideas about how a future internet could decentralize society inspired Tim May to first articulate a radically different vision. May, who would go on to become the most influential figure in the cypherpunk movement, was introduced to Salem by Morningstar in December of 1987. Chip said, there's this guy out in Santa Cruz that you ought to talk to. As a scientist at Intel, May had solved an issue affecting the reliability of the company's memory chips called the alpha particle problem. Rich on stock options, he'd been spending his days at the beach reading science fiction novels, thinking about how networked personal computers could turn some of their futuristic scenarios into reality. So I met with Phil in Redwood City, and he described how AMEX would work. And I said, people aren't going to be selling meaningless stuff like surfboard recommendations. In May's view, AMEX could be useful as a tool for undermining state power, but only by shattering legal and social norms. I said it's going to be corporate information. It's going to be bomber plans for the B-1 bomber. Who wants to buy that? A competitor or a company. Who wants to sell that? Someone who has access to that information. It's two different types of libertarians. He didn't understand the extent to which you could benefit the world by lowering transaction costs for everybody. Like Salem and the high-tech Hayekians, May saw the personal computer as enabling technology for sweeping societal changes. But he had a different vision of a virtual marketplace for any and all goods and services, which he dubbed blacknet, or a technological means of undermining all governments. On AMEX, user activity was out in the open, but blacknet would be impervious to government tracking and surveillance, and perhaps it would be a network with no owners at all. Many people's first response would be to say that blacknet won't be allowed to happen. Perhaps, but technology would probably make it inevitable. If you don't physically meet the person, if you don't even know what continent they're on, you can't coerce them. Tim May's a smart guy. He was great for honing our ideas and technologies against, but I think of him as sort of the shock jock for cipher punks. I want to live in the world that surrounds us rather than try and construct one from scratch. We saw this as emerging from inside the world and carrying the world along with it. In 1988, AMEX was acquired by the software giant Autodesk, a growing scene of young technologists came together around Salem and the high-tech Hayekians, all working towards a common vision of enhancing human freedom through networked personal computing. It was this hot house of ideas from which a world view was brilliant. Salem died of cancer in 1991, the same year that the World Wide Web became publicly available, but its intellectual contributions and conflict with May had laid the groundwork for what would come next for the cipher punks. The long effort to build a self-sovereign and anonymous form of digital money and the embrace of a branch of mathematics called cryptography, which they came to view as the key to personal liberation on the internet.

You've seen some of some of the other bigger names, but Tyrese Halliburton Speaking of lamella. There's his first rookie card out of here lamella ball currently Thank you. I think he actually just won Eastern conference rookie of the month or something like that. Remember those monthly awards are Tyrese Halliburton might have won one western conference rookie of the month for uh for january the Lamello goes to charlotte jason And the halliburton goes to dustin and the sacramental king. It's nice There's a manual quickly right here too. He's playing some good basketball patrick with the nicks There's anthony adwords minnesota timbrewolves dustin palm We'll do a recap at the uh at the end here too. I know there's a lot of cards There's the monstas a bonus to 199 coal anthony josh green And we got for denver tori kreg Hot signatures going to gary adam. What's up? All right box two Oh nice you get to You get to watch jaspies at work. That's awesome Good luck next one Other two autographs more rookie cards poops has been gaining popularity over the years Especially the rookie cards a lot of people are grading these rookie cards getting good grades out of them reselling them for reselling them for a nice tidy profit or Wait for the value to go up over the years. So some pretty good stuff There you go adam Yeah, he why wouldn't survive my job without jaspies adam says well, we're here for you We'll get you through the rest of your work day a store owner bets 3.46 million dollars on tampa bay at plus three and a half Super bowl marching marching closer and closer ladies and gentlemen I don't know what's the what but I don't know what side i'm gonna pick. I really coming down to the wire I had to figure out like props Stuff too what props got to figure out? All right next box We got josh green clean haze There's obi another obi toffin right there for the nicks Patrick with the nicks I don't know what side i'm going with my my heart says Kansas City, but I think my wallet is saying Is saying tampa bay They're getting plus points at home. It's totally at home rookie ink Sabin lee But it's all it's all like but it's all like You know But they're comfortable in their own beds their own locker room You know like they know they know how to get to work. They don't they don't have to stay in a hotel Then there's that chief's offense. There's the patron the homes factor There's another james wiseman For rain and the warriors just dropping things all over the place I think when dropping everything but the card this is good james wiseman Yeah, chris dunes in 99 There's high voltage luka donchich Who's everyone to have for the super bowl anyone investing making any investments on a particular side Another tyrese halberd. Okay, that's for dustin Not related We got bojan boban, that is marianovic For the maps there you go, aston got such long arms got ton of length all right Frankie what do you got you got casey minus seven on an adjusted line How much do you have to pay for that? minus 150 No, maybe it goes the other maybe no that that would go the other way, right? So that would be plus money, wouldn't it? plus 120 Plus 120 there you go. That's pretty good so you're you're so Quickly of course goes to the nicks another lamella going to charles for jason So obviously you're thinking can city is gonna cruise You're not worried about the offensive line. I think we don't that isn't there like a Key offensive linemen's out Maybe that doesn't matter Does that does that Tampa Bay front get pressure on mahogany, but mahogany's can move. I'm assuming He gets an extra week off that foot's got to be healthy healthier I don't think whatever he has turf toe doesn't heal itself in two weeks, but It's got to hurt less. I would think I think he could still be mobile I think because of Right andy andy reed off a buy All right, he's he's pretty incredible off a buy Tampa Bay is what they call a past funnel defense Just because their their rush is so good that it opens up Passing out there Austin's on the other side. Austin is saying Tampa Bay by 17 by 17 double digits Over two touchdowns touch two touchdowns in a field goal Tom Brady does does he suddenly look old or does he does he look for every young? He did. I mean there was some turnovers There were some turnovers in that green bay game Which I don't think people think about because People don't talk about that because the the bucks won Adam coverman is in the house. He thinks Kansas City wins by eight to ten Why why why do we think that adam because I'm leaning I mean, I mean, I've been leaning Kansas City since the get-go I always said that whatever a fc team gets in I think the a fc in general is going to be better than any nfc team in the Super Bowl So I feel like I should just continue going with that Instead of like outsmarting myself and going with Tampa Bay plus the points Even though they're at home So Anthony Edwards more from Minnesota for Dustin and we've got For Portland rookie, Inc. Cj. Elaby Cj. Elaby didn't get any playing time here Portland, Jonathan And Portland's down to like near almost the near bare minimum of players they need to actually play some games All right, Adam's suggesting listen. There's the argument. There's the Tampa Bay argument For defense winning championships in Tampa Bay finding a way to slow down the chiefs If that worked then the Niners would have won last year Right, I would say last year's Niners defense Is better than this year's Than this year's Tampa Bay defense Nancy, what's going on? Right. Yeah, I think the first half. I think that that that would be the narrative, right? I think the first half Kansas City will maybe be a little slow Game itself might be a little slow Tyler hero To 399, but yeah, then any reading that staff seems to really figure it out All right. Yeah, Frankie's like come on you can count on one hand Kansas City losses Yeah Ramon saying Green Bay choke Kansas City or Tampa Bay shouldn't even be in the Super Bowl Maybe we've seen the saddle right but guess how many points Brady's teams have scored in the first quarter over the Niners Super Bowl 0 Adam I'm taking first quarter under that's a that's a stat that I'm confident about There's like a stat that says you or three, right? I was close It's not a lot I think in general, I think there's like a stat if you look at like the last 50 Super Bowl, you know, if you look at almost all the Super Bowls first quarter unders has Has cashed like over 50% of the time Which is actually which is a pretty good return? Maybe even 55% Maybe more but uh, it's uh, it's a decent play Team teams are a little nervous with a lot of pomp and circumstance You know, I guess chiefs might not please probably won't be nervous, but A lot of pomp and circumstance. There's a lot a lot of different things going on but But uh, first quarter unders tend to do pretty well if she can get it First quarter like 10 Some offshores will have it at 10 Nine's a little tougher. I think but You can get it under 10 if you can find a line. That's 10. That's pretty good And we've got andre miller whoops ink for Denver I feel like Denver been getting some some action here gary with the nuggets David DLP says I go back to your bowl 50 when Denver beat the unstoppable carolina panthers grand I think the bronco team was considerably better than this bucks team Nonetheless that powerful panthers offense got shut down David t other another davids arguing different game now Yeah, david t is arguing listen offense beats defense like saving would say There's immanuel quickly Yeah, james is saying is the goat is the goat nervous, maybe Tom Brady will be ready That's for sure He won't I don't think he'll be I don't know I don't think he's nervous Would he be rattled? He's been to enough Super Bowls Bucks D is nowhere near the Broncos D in Super Bowl 50 true As as people will say the Bucks defense is Is a pass funnel defense, you know, their rush is so good that you're forcing Guys to pass And I don't think Kansas City really runs the ball that much anyway So I think that works into their favor, you know, I like I really think that there's going to be a lot of passing Happening I think you take Kelsey overs Frankie saying yeah, Frankie and I on the same page say you take my homes over 330 passing yards Even if they lose I think I think they'll still get I think they'll still get overs There's no way they're they don't even have a run anyway, so they're not going to run the ball I mean they're going to have to at some point, but that's not going to be they're not running to set up the pass or anything like that it's me a lot of I don't know they're still going to get some pressure. So I think there'd be a lot of like you know, Tyree kills screens And and and reverses and and and whatnot I think Kelsey's going to feast too. I think Tampa Bay is a little weak against the the tight end anyway So that middle of the field is a little soft It's like Kelsey over on receptions, you know, I think from the beginning my My lean was definitely towards Towards the chiefs minus three Maybe I'll stick with my first instinct I'll make some official plays by by tomorrow Saturday Adam, what do you like? Adam likes the Brady over 39 and a half pass attempts The Bucks win.  All right, cool. Hollywood Never heard that before Well, what do you got at? I mean at the beginning of the season I did a draft king's promo for Kelsey's to win the Super Bowl at 55 to 1 you could pick any team So you've got you've got some futures investment With Kansas City as well Bet limits was a dollar though, right? Still still getting money back. It's still a good ROI There's Tyrese Halliburton Kings Dustin Okongu Sabin Lee There's James Weisman For the Warriors that'll be for Ray And magic Johnson Yeah, nice hot signatures magic Johnson Nice that goes to Peter. Who has my Lakers? Nice Laker legend magic Johnson Remember chiefs lost players due to cove. Who do they lose to cove? I think the obsidian break will be yes. I do. I think it'll be tonight. So get your spots Don't hesitate I think it's I think yeah, I think there were backups So I don't know if that's gonna be maybe depth issue and over the course of a game might be a problem, but But uh But yeah, I don't it's not like it was my homes. I got cove it. I don't I think they could I think they could kind of work around that I think they'll probably be able to yeah, I think they're I think Whatever the protocol timing is. I think they should be able to be activated on like on like uh Saturday Barbara. Yeah, we know the story hollywood. We follow sports here. Believe it or not there's tony dell Dallas Austin with that one But as long as my home my homes is not involved. So There's a bullet dodge there There's quickly. There's anthony edwards And then we've got a purple rookie parallel cash just winston as well That's for the wizards. That'll be for daniel Just call anthony Some other There's joellen beads playing out of his mind josh green killian haze All right last box coming up. Remember we got another five box break In the store right now jaspy's case breaks.com. Check it out. You can run one of these back We only have two more of these breaks left. So after this is we're currently on break six last box of break six So break seven and eight that's it Then dunzo lose No more for now Until we get more but I can't assure you that it'll be at the Same price point that it is now I did here. I think it was gadel or the players association saying something That uh that they said even if patrick mahomes And uh Even if patrick mahomes and tom brady get coveted the night before or get test positive for the night before That they're just going with it. They're not moving the suit Which I guess I guess they can't Kind of crazy though. So I don't even know who the bucks backup quarterback. Who's the bucks backup quarterback? I think for the chiefs it'd be Chad henny I think and then Over the bucks backup is James what about brady over under half yard rushing? Gabbard is the bucks backup says andrew drapkins So chad henny and blaine gabbard who wins that super bowl? I feel like I feel like chiefs then for sure Wait, but yeah, they're both xjag jaguars quarterbacks and then the jaguars are sitting there and going come on How do you know when bucks are being opened you pay attention to the chat hollywood? It clearly says the schedule in the chat. It's pinned in the chat. It's being dropped in the chat So when something is sold out on the website when the spots left to zero Then you look at the schedule and see when it's going to go. If it's not on the schedule That means there's probably some filler information there Going back to the prop the brady prop Right the kneel down is always I don't think he's going to be I think he might actually run a little bit Because it's the super bowl. You know what I mean? I don't think he's there's no other there's no next game for him to worry about I think if it's late in the game and he has to run a few yards to Scramble around a little bit and get a Get a first down or something. I think he'll go for it But then if he's in a winning situation, yeah, what about the kneeling that I think I think they it's minus one yard What if he he likes to do those quarterback sneaks at the uh At the end zone, but what if he gets stuffed? I mean those are negative yards there, too Oh, nice a denny avidia rookie ink autograph for the wizards daniel With washington. It's pretty good. I think people are are pretty high on this kid right here I think he came back from either Some sort of injury, but I'd like to see how the rest of his season goes There you go, daniel. It's a nice one How many yards did brady rush for last week? Against or two weeks ago in the grints green bay Tyrese halliburton kings dust and pommer a lamello ball All those lamellos will add up, too Especially if they get graded out charlotte that's going to go to jason fracter Wish we saw one of his autographs. I guess we still have one more left He had negative one in the nfc championships as adam All right, so yeah, that gets that and that makes james's half yard problem kind of tricky Yeah, it sounds like a kneel down Other anthony edwards for dustin Playing some good basketball a man you quickly Also playing some good basketball or toro purple parallel Come to the Dodgers trevor It was great in 20 trevor. I was great in 2020 There's a lot of hues I don't know if he's put together the uh that goes to the jazz jeff click Has he put together the resume to ask for garrick whole money?

There you have it. That was five box random team number six from jasky's casebreaks.com I'm joe. I'll see you next time for the next break. Bye


I'm Lloyd Dobbins. This evening we have reports for you that are at least a little unusual. One is about a young boy whose face is being rebuilt after a disease is literally ate away the middle of it. It's a tribute to a doctor's skill and the little boy's courage. But our first story tonight is about cocaine. It is not about the people who use it or the anguish it causes or the careers it ruins. It's about the people who get rich making it. In this case, people in Bolivia. There aren't that many cocaine kings in Bolivia, but as Steve Delaney learned while he was there, one of them is so rich and so powerful. There are fears that he might, if challenged, overthrow the government. On a jungle air strip in northeast Bolivia, a military transport makes a surprise landing at what appears to be an innocent cattle ranch. In fact, it is a secret cocaine factory. The special troopers rush the ranch house and bag two big names in the Bolivian drug mafia. After more than a decade of corruption and indifference, are the Bolivians finally cracking down on their drug traffic? Maybe, but there is less here than meets the eye. Bolivians have always grown the coca leaf, but it wasn't until the mid-seventies when cocaine became the drug of choice for five million Americans that the traffic exploded. It is now a business three times more valuable than tin, the country's leading legal export. Bolivia now supplies more than half the world's cocaine. With so much money around, it was inevitable that by 1980, drug corruption would reach the highest levels of the Bolivian government. General Luis Garcia Mesa became president in 1980, was reportedly paid a million dollars by the drug mafia to leave them alone. He's now in exile in Argentina where it is said he is still making money on drugs. Luis Arcegómez used to be minister of the interior. When he was, they called that office the Ministry of Cocaine. He's wanted by the U.S. for drug trafficking. He is also in Argentina, reportedly still in business. The civilian government, which took over a little more than a year ago, has been plagued by strikes by an awful economy and by persistent rumors of a coup. President Siles and his colleagues are supposed to be honest and are publicly committed to fighting the drug traffic, even though far they've been unable to do. The cocaine problem begins high in the Andes Mountains where Bolivian peasants cultivate the coca bush, much as they've done for thousands of years. Belief is a mild stimulant and has legitimate medical uses. In fact, it is the only known remedy for altitude sickness. Out here, the coca leaf means survival, but not luxury. In Bolivia's cities and towns, coca is sold on the open market. 5,000 years ago, the dead here were buried with a bag of coca leaves to speed them on to the next world. Today, the living chew coca to spare them some of the rigors of this world. It quiets the empty stomach in a land where hunger is endemic. It eases pain where there's no money for a doctor.  In the past, the green leaves were used as money and with a worthless peso, the prudent still took away a few bags for bartering. On the streets, it brings about a dollar a pound. But as the cocaine dealers discovered years ago, the big money is not in cultivation but in the processing of leaves into a paste and later into a fine crystalline powder. To do that, kerosene is poured over the leaves and the mix is then stomped into a pulp in a process similar to primitive wine pressing. 150 pounds of leaves worth $100 makes a pound of paste, which then sells for several thousand dollars. The leaf stoppers are recruited by labor bosses who pass out cocaine cigarettes to keep them going tirelessly for hours on end, wired on the drug. For that reason, the boss has called these workers sepis or ants. It sells wholesale in Miami for between $25 and $45,000 for about two pounds. Street value more than a million. This is the finest crystalline cocaine in the world. The end product has been sniffed or smoked by 22 million Americans. La Paz is cool and dry and poor and very high. At 12,000 feet, the air here is so thin that people born at sea level tend to huff and puff a lot just from walking up a flight of stairs. And yet one-fifth of Bolivia's five million people live in the capital. La Paz is also the funnel through which all this country's cocaine money flows. It is the biggest source of foreign exchange Bolivia has, and yet the cocaine dollars are largely invisible. They do very little to help most of the people, quite a lot to help the very few of them. It is said that money doesn't care who owns it, and apparently the bankers don't care either. They're often seen buying US dollars from drug dealers. $500 million a year enters the Bolivian economy this way. Most of the cook profits remain in Swiss banks. Who are these guys, the leaders of what's called the Coca Nostra in Bolivia? Not much is known of the lesser families, the Razooks, the Malkis, the Cevizrocos, but here are two of the biggest dealers. Once a pilot for other mafia kingpins, Jorge Flores later went into business for himself. He was swept up during that raid on the cattle ranch, the first time any of the ten dealers have been arrested. And this is Roberto Suarez, the biggest drug dealer in the world. He is the boss. Suarez supplies at least a third of all the cocaine entering the United States and seems untouchable at home. He's got a private army called the Fiancés of Death to scare police and rivals alike. The Suarez enforcers were trained by ex-Guestapo boss Klaus Barbie. He recruited the Fiancés of Death from among right-wing thugs in Europe. The Cele's government let France extradite Barbie last year to stand trial for war crimes. One of Barbie's recruits was Pier Luigi Pugliai, wanted by the Italians for a bombing in Bologna in 1980 that killed 84 people. He was a captain in the Fiancés of Death until he was extradited last year. This rare film shows Suarez' daughter Hady and ex-Miss Bolivia enjoying some of her father's profits. Roberto Jr. in the background was tried for drug smuggling last year in Miami and was acquitted. This is the headquarters of Colonel Julio Zapata's narcotics police responsible for stopping Bolivia's drug traffic. It's also a jail, but you won't find Roberto Suarez or any of the other big-timers behind bars here. One blanket for three guys. I got the same clothes on if they arrest me. 15 days ago. Two unlucky Americans reportedly caught with a pound or two of cocaine are hardly big-time traffickers. Why those two and not Roberto Suarez? We asked Colonel Zapata, he knows where Suarez is, why doesn't he go get him? That's a beautiful question. Since Suarez is as strong as the narcotics police, maybe you should ask the armed forces why they haven't arrested him. So we did ask the Army. General Lucio Añez, Chief of Staff of the Bolivian Armed Forces. I also don't know why Suarez is still free. Institutionally, the armed forces are not in charge of narcotics. Buck passing aside, the government was anxious to show that it is beginning to move against some dealers. The target of this operation was a spot in Bolivia's eastern Vene province, the home of most of the leading drug traffickers. Dozens of secret airstrips dot this wild and unpoliced region where every week cocaine is flown out to the U.S. by the plane load. This raid was planned for the day before when intelligence indicated 3,000 pounds of cocaine would be shipped, but for reasons never fully explained the operation was delayed for a critical 24 hours. The pickings were pretty slim by the time the police finally got there. The big stash was gone, but there was an odd assortment of guns, a few pounds of cocaine, one airplane, and $13,000 worth of crisp new Bolivian bills crushed from the bank. Still, two suspects were arrested, including Jorge Flores, the pilot entrepreneur. He declined to answer questions. Under the Constitution, I have a right to a lawyer, said Flores in the best jailhouse tradition. Suspect Jorge Cuellar was more forthcoming, conceding that he once flew for Roberto Flores. He defended his ex-boss, calling him a great sport. Though this raid hardly put a dent in Bolivia's drug traffic, a police official who was there said it is a beginning. We are going to fight the narcotics, we are going to help the people, because we consider that these people who are smuggling cocaine through Bolivia into the United States are people that don't care nothing about the lives and the health of the people. Is there any chance that after this raid that you might be moving soon against Roberto Flores? Well, that's what we think. Are we going to find him through this soon? I guess. Whether the new government in fact will strike hard at Flores and his cohorts, we don't yet know. There have been more raids lately with a strong urging and support of American drug enforcement people. But they've been raged against small timers mostly while ignoring the cocanostra.  And if the government should strike hard, what's to prevent Suarez and friends from sparking another coup as they did in 1980? In fact, Suarez has threatened to take action, whatever that means, if the authorities lean on him. For the cocanostra, the stakes are enormous. Worldwide, Coke is a $45 billion business. Very serious business indeed for Suarez and company. And so Suarez remains free, reveling in his reputation as a good family man who does good works for his neighbors. But he's also the man who symbolizes the addiction of Bolivia's body politic to cocaine, with all the economic and moral decay that accompanies that dependency. We spoke with John Thomas of the State Department's Bureau of International Narcotics Matters. What is U.S. policy toward the production and transmission of drugs from Bolivia specifically? How are we trying to deal with that? Our long-term goal is to work with the Bolivian government and the Bolivian people to reduce the amount of coca leaf being produced in Bolivia to that amount which would meet their illicit or legal needs in that country, which include the traditional use by certain Bolivians, the chewing population as we call it. Even with American encouragement, Bolivian needs the will to move on its own against the cocanostra. We spoke with Interior Minister Federico Alvarez. In my country, at once, a man named Jesse James was the chief outlaw, and then there was Al Capone and there was Lucky Luciano and some others, and they all sort of thumbed their noses at the authority, and yet they were all caught and put away. Do you suspect that's what's going to happen to River Tosvarez? It's very possible. Some people we've talked to who are studying the problem of the narcotics traffic say that 100 or 200 commandoes specially trained could go into these areas and in a week wipe these people out. Why don't they do it? But the same reason that the United States, with all its military strength, cannot wipe out your drug problem. This is Juara, the most popular musical group in Bolivia. There are words to this song. They are sung in the ancient Aymara language. It's appropriate that that song be done in that language in this place, the ruins of the Inca civilization, because the song celebrates the physical and mystical qualities of the coca leaf. It's a tradition that goes back beyond the Spanish and beyond the Incas in this country. And no matter how hard the government tries to stamp out the narcotics traffic, the cocoa bush will never disappear from this culture. For cocaine to disappear, not from their culture, but from ours, the crackdown on the big producers in Bolivia will have to be effective. For that to happen, the government in Bolivia will have to be strong. That now seems unlikely. The cabinet has resigned. The Bolivian Congress is threatening a vote of no confidence, and the president and vice president are arguing about some report of a planned coup. In the midst of all that, it is unreasonable to assume that the Bolivian government, or what is left of it, is going to worry a great deal about the cocaine problem in the United States.
