  • In late 2015 I visited #GuineaBissau in #WestAfrica to investigate the country’s role as a major transit route for cocaine between #SouthAmerica and #Europe. The results of this trip, plus subsequent reporting, appears in my just released @scribepub book, ‘Pills, Powder and Smoke: Inside the Bloody War on Drugs’. #journalism #drugwar #warondrugs #africa
  • Super excited to announce the launch of my new book today, ‘Pills, Powder and Smoke: Inside the Bloody War on Drugs’ via @scribepub. It’s out now in #Australia, #India later in the year with @panmacmillanindia (with a special foreword for this edition), November in the US and #January in the UK with @scribe_uk. It’s a 4+ year investigation around the world from #Honduras to #GuineaBissau, the #Philippines to the US and #Australia to the UK reporting on what the brutal and futile drug war means today and ways it could all end (by regulating and legalizing all drugs). It’s an exciting, compelling and addictive read 😉. It’s been endorsed by @johann.hari, leading UK drug expert Dr David Nutt and acclaimed writer Christos Tsiolkas. Full quotes at the link in my bio. After such a long gestation, research and writing process, I’m happy to share it with the world. The drug war is inarguably the most deadly war of the last 50 years. Time to end it for good. I’ll be in #Australia for a 2-week book tour in #September, 9 events in 4 cities, and all details in my bio. Heaps of media coverage is forthcoming. Book tours in other countries are being planned. Thanks to my literary agent, Benython Oldfield (@literaryagent1) for the photos of the book. Being based in Jerusalem, I’m still waiting on my copy of the book to arrive 😡. Please share news of the book online and with your friends and family and buy it if you can. Independent journalism needs your support 💪🏼. Thanks to the countless people around the globe who made this possible from my love @ali_m_martin to journalists, contacts and sources. I list many of them in the book. One of my aims is to give voice to the often invisible civilians who are caught up in a #warondrugs over which they have no control. They deserve so much better, and sustainable peace. #journalism #work #drugwar #drugs
  • Take the 1963 Roy Lichtenstein painting, In the Car, and place it on a wall in #Batumi #Georgia and you’ve got a sweet way to sex up a #Soviet-era building. #art #sovietunion
  • The UN recently released its independent international fact-finding mission report on #Myanmar which encouraged the world to sever ties with the country’s military and the many companies, local and foreign, making $ from the brutal conflict. Thanks to @andalusiya, a wonderful lawyer in #Australia, she informed me that my last major book, ‘Disaster Capitalism: Making a Killing Out of Catastrophe’, via @versobooks, is referenced twice in the report. I don’t mention #Myanmar but explain how corporations make $ from misery across the globe from #Afghanistan to #PapuaNewGuinea. Consider it a global hammer against exploitation. The report mentions my book twice and I’ve posted one of them here.

  • Wait, #selfiesticks are illegal globally, right? #georgia #wtf #dumpthestick #freetheselfiestick
  • #Batumi, you strange #Vegas-like city 🌃 on the #BlackSea in #Georgia where #Soviet grimness has been given (in parts) the hipster makeover while desperate poverty hits you at the fun fair. #holiday #art #sovietunion #magichour #architecture
