Nixon's phoenix after nam

   In early 1973 Richard Nixon hunted feverishly to find something, anything to support his war-bourne economy now that the Viet Nam War had ended. In the end he relied on the steady communiques of 3 of his top aides, Haldeman, Eichmann, and Neumiller to be in an ongoing push for a new cabinet or association to pick up where the lack of a war left off. In response to these many memos Nixon often jotted and sent 6 words~ Americans will not stand for it.
  To these 3 aides this seemed a ludicrous comment, inasmuch as Nixon was riding on a an ocean swell crest of popularity after finally ending the war in whose favor a coin toss couldn't tell; so they continued the barrage of comments leading in that direction. And I quote Neumiller (head of Nixon's "Quest for alien life to take over command" archipelate), "If NASA wanted aliens to take over they'd build a launch command post in Bolivia" she said when speaking to a burgeoning NOW consulate meeting in Denver. And so, Nixon followed the lead of these top 3 aides.
  In May of '73 he formed the Uber Alles Commission to research exactly which type of government body to be formed would best suit his cabinet's needs. About this time Eichmann and Haldeman used their connections and pull to send a large squad of CIA operatives to South America to do undercover and unbeknownst to Neumiller research. 
  Not long before had all branches of law enforcement (including the FDA) threw up their hands in disgust at attempting to stop the flow of cocaine into the USA from South America and marijuana from around the globe. And of course, the centuries old opium trade (in pure and herion form) still loomed it's unceasingly ugly and sickening head.
 In response, on 7/1/73 Nixon and his staff brought forth into governmental life the Drug Enforcement Administration mainly as a way to shut down air, land, and sea international ports to the traffic of illicit drugs.     TO BE CONTINUED
