Occasionally Slate takes a break from mocking non-aggression to publish an article that exposes the true nature of the State. "The Chemist's War", authored by Deborah Blum and published on February 19 2010 at the Slate website, is such an article. This article informs the reader that the American State poisoned the industrial alcohol supply during Prohibition, which ultimately led to the deaths of approximately 10,000 human beings.
A quick summary of the murderous tale is as follows: Annoyed that people were ignoring the 18th Amendment (which banned the manufacture, sale, or transportation of alcohol) during Prohibition, the American State ordered the manufacturers of industrial alcohol - commonly stolen by private criminal organizations and redistilled into drinkable alcohol - to alter the "denaturing" process of their products; the standard "denaturing" process consisted of adding chemicals to industrial alcohol to render it undrinkable; the new American State Prohibition "denaturing" formulas contained multiple poisons, particularly methyl alcohol; bootleggers and consumers of bootleg alcohol were not informed of the change and did not suddenly stop their "illegal" actions; subsequently approximately 10,000 people (disproportionately poor) died due to acute alcohol poisoning.
Please read the original article to obtain the details of this crime. Dear gods I hate the State. Thanks again to Slate for publishing an important article describing murders committed by the American State.
