The Only Good Hippo...

a public service announcement from the Partnership for a Death Free America

by Brian Ballard Quass, the Drug War Philosopher

June 20, 2025



Click audio link above to listen to the latest public service announcement from the Partnership for a Death Free America. This 30-second spot ("The Only Good Hippo") is a long-overdue clarion call to exterminate hippopotami in response to the threat that they pose to our dear American young people. Mothers, it is time to speak up on behalf of your kids. Biodiversity is all well and good, but the well-being of white kids must always come first.



People ask me, "How can you be in favor of exterminating hippopotami?" I take one look at my poor little white children and ask myself, "How could I NOT?"


The hippopotamus is the world's most deadly animal. It kills up to 3,000 people every year, many of them white. Tell your representative to support the Taney-Dipschitz Bill to exterminate hippopotami worldwide.


How could I NOT?!

against the hateful war on US




Trump's lies about America's voting process are typical NAZI and DRUG WAR strategy: raise mendacious doubts about whatever you want to destroy and keep repeating them. It's what Joseph Goebbels called "The Big Lie."

When folks die in horse-related accidents, we need to be asking: who sold the victim the horse? We've got to crack down on folks who peddle this junk -- and ban books like Black Beauty that glamorize horse use.

After a long life, I have come to the conclusion that when all the establishment is united, it is always wrong. (Harold MacMillan)

The DEA has done everything it can to keep Americans clueless about opium and poppies. The agency is a disgrace to a country that claims to value knowledge and freedom of information.

The drug war normalizes the disdainful and self-righteous attitude that Columbus and Pizarro had about drug use in the New World.

It is consciousness which, via perception, shapes the universe into palpable forms. Otherwise it's just a chaos of particles. The very fact that you can refer to "the sun" shows that your senses have parsed the raw data into a specific meaning. "We" make this universe.

Why does no one talk about empathogens for preventing atrocities? Because they'd rather hate drugs than use them for the benefit of humanity. They don't want to solve problems, they prefer hatred.

There would be little or no profiling of blacks if the Drug War did not exist.

"Like Christians burning mosques and temples to spread the word of Jesus, modem drugabuseologists burn crops to spread the use of alcohol." -- Ceremonial Chemistry, p. 48

It is evil to give the depressed drugs to help them die while barring them from using drugs that could make them wish to live.

Diary of a Drug Fiend

This is the only full-cast recording of Aleister Crowley's 1922 classic paeon to common sense. It is the first book -- and so far almost the only book -- to stake out a philosophy of drug use that is compatible with human freedom, one in which we learn to use drugs as wisely as possible for the benefit of humanity. This recording was produced by the Drug War Philosopher and your purchases help support his effort to push back against the tragically counterproductive policy of drug prohibition, in the name of human freedom and of humanity's right to heal.
