The War on Drugs is a seditious enterprise

Howard Young believes that the Parap hangman story was not seditious (NT News, November 10).

Section 44 of the NT Criminal Code defines a seditious intention as an intention "to promote feelings of ill-will and hostility between different classes of persons so as to endanger the peace order or good Government of the Territory."

One of the tactics of the US-led War on Drugs is to promote feelings of ill-will and hostility towards people who use illicit drugs. The corporate media play a major role in this demonisation of illicit drug users or anyone deemed to be pro-drugs. The Parap hangman story is just one example of the constant flow of anti-drug propaganda that we are forced to endure in the major print media and on our television screens.

This media support of the War on Drugs is clearly seditious.

The Criminal Code defines a seditious enterprise as "an enterprise undertaken in order to carry out a seditious intention."

That would make the NT News a seditious enterprise.

I wonder when ASIO will raid Printers Place, and I wonder whose going to report it.
