That is one method to achieve the above, but the problem is we keep making more of them and always will. They don't just go away because you killed the strongest ones, it signals out to the others that a vacuum is available for them to inhabit. The system has to change to invalidate them or we just end up playing Psycho/Sociopath Whack-a-mole until eternity.

You'd hope. But with that list naming anti-capitalism as a marker for "terrorism", it could end up being a mechanism they use to remove those threats if they garner too much support. That's not in their best interests if they want to maintain power after the election but they've been enormously brazen with their behavior that it can't be ruled out.

Ensure the venture isn't profitable.

Was never about drugs. It was pretense to attack minorities groups the government didn't like. There is literal memo evidence of the people who enacted the policy admitting that was the purpose. They are skipping the pretense now.
