Prohibido istac evilesco.

Prohibido means banned. What is the translation of the other two words and are they spelled correctly?

On each Century of Lies show, Dean Becker ends with the following:

We’ve been duped. The drug lords run both sides of this equation. Please do your part to help end the madness. Visit our website, endprohibition.org

Prohibido istac evilesco.


I am Spanish illierate and I want to make sure that the correct spelling is used. I would also like to know the translation of this phrase.

Thank you.

The phrase means Prohibition is Evil in Latin.

Thank you to all who tried to help. I did ask Dean directly and yes, he's a Medical Marijuana activist hoping to help end the War on Drugs, everywhere. He lives in Texas near where the killings and kidnappings in Mexico are taking place. www.drugtruth.net

Dean Becker seems to be some sort of drug activist. He has a widespread internet presence, and often he uses the expression "Prohibido, istac evilesco" as a motto after his signature.

As Heidita said, "Prohibido" is definitely a Spanish word. "istac evilesco" does sound like Latin, but I can't find any reference to it, and neither does Mr. Becker bother to explain anywhere what this motto means.

I guess if you're very curious about you, you can look Dean Becker up and write him directly. As I said, he has a highly visible public profile, and I'm sure it will be easy to find a contact address for him.

Prohibido istac evilesco

Welcomegrin

Prohibido = forbidden (banned is possible, but the normal meaning is forbidden)

The other two words may be latin? I have no idea
