2. UPDATE 1-18-05: CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWSUIT ACTIVATED AGAINST DIEBOLD: DISCOVERY SCHEDULED TO COMMENCE Feb.4. Black Box Voting board member Jim March and Executive Director Bev Harris filed two lawsuits against Diebold in California. The first, a false claims ("Qui Tam") suit, is expected to settle shortly for a $2.6 million payout to the state of California by Diebold.

The California false claims case is the first successful consumer case against Diebold, and at a $2.6 million reimbursement to California taxpayers, will assign the largest penalty in any voting machine-related case so far.

California is expected to compensate Harris and March for their original research in the case. The exact figure has not yet been determined by the courts, but the initial proposed settlement allocates around $76,000 each.

Bev Harris’s compensation will be donated to Black Box Voting, as a restricted contribution which must be spent specifically on additional consumer litigation to protect election integrity.

March and Harris have been joined by three other Californians in a second lawsuit, alleging fraudulent business practices and unfair competition by Diebold. Papers were filed this week in Sacramento Superior Court reactivating this lawsuit, which will provide a vehicle for seeking discovery from Diebold about its business practices and voting systems.

Some of the Qui Tam money is tagged towards underwriting discovery in the second case. Whereas in the first case, the California Attorney General was able to assert control, this newly reactivated case allows the plaintiffs more direct control over discovery. Plaintiffs have requested four months to conduct discovery, and have scheduled written interrogatories and witness requests by Feb. 4, 2005.

3. UPDATE 1-17-05: NEW: BBV DOCUMENT ARCHIVE at bbvdocs.org. This document archive will release specific information, including voting machine information not previously available to the general public. It will focus first on optical scan information from Diebold, because Ohio is now leaning toward replacing its punch card systems with Diebold optical scans, and many anomalies were identified in Florida and Washington with Diebold optical scans.

To be featured in the BBV Docs archive:
- 2004 Election audit logs and results
- Voting system user manuals, software, bug reports and certification documents
- The complete repository of the Diebold memos
- Many items from the original Diebold FTP site
- Items from Sequioa, ES&S, and Hart Intercivic
- Previously unpublished correspondence between key election officials.
- Full text of election-related lawsuits
- Original source materials from Black Box Voting book
- Transcripts of interviews with key elections officials
- Items of interest to the history of the voting integrity movement

New items are being uploaded daily. We are installing a high-speed document scanner to convert thousands of pages of FOIA documents, including correspondence among voting industry officials, to Internet format for open source investigation and examination.

TIPS FOR USING THE ARCHIVE:

Prepared legislation makes "paper trail" a sham

(Wait! We thought we were going to get paper ballots!) Guess again. Waiting in the wings is an end-run around paper ballots, a cryptography application that is anything BUT transparent. Citizens are about to find out that the devil really IS in the details.

CRYPTO solution vs. PAPER BALLOT solution

The Crypto Solution gives you a slip of paper with a secret code on it, which you later take to the Internet to find out that you voted. Not HOW you voted. Not how everyone voted, so the public can know who really won. Not even, really, that your voted was counted. For these things, you are told to trust.

Trust who? Well, cryptographers with defense industry ties. The current computerized voting system is about to become even more mysterious and opaque, unless you put up a fight.

5. UPDATE 1-6-05 - CONSTITUTIONAL EQUAL PROTECTION AMENDMENT FOR VOTERS?
(more: http://www.bbvforums.org/forums/messages/1954/1961.html )

- The bold action by Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) in challenging the Ohio members of the electoral college, made possible by the actions of committed, relentless citizens and voting integrity groups nationwide, gave discussion of election improprieties a forum on national TV. More important, it could lead to proposed corrective legislation, and possibly a Constitutional amendment.

In the United States, we have no federal right to vote -- instead, a citizen's right to vote is really a state resident's right to vote. With voting, THERE IS NO EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW.

If we do enact federal equal protection legislation for voting, many of the inappropriate actions taken by state officials would be struck down in court, and it would be much easier to litigate problems with voting machines.

When Florida was allowed to systematically disenfranchise voters, it hid behind state's rights. When Ohio's Secretary of State Ken Blackwell successfully disenfranchised voters in Ohio, through inappropriate rules on provisional ballots and other measures, he hid behind state's rights.

6. BBV CONFIDENTIAL - Security issues: We kept part of our site, including an e-mail account, on a Web server that had experienced security breaches. One reason was to see if we could get some footprints to identify hackers.

We did not achieve that, but did get some interesting information.

On Jan. 11, thirty minutes into a transmission to approximately 800 Washington state activists (recommending tough questions to ask at a VoteHere meeting), a security flaw was exploited in our system, and a subsequent file change took out the blackboxvoting.org e-mail for both incoming and outgoing e-mail. This was not due to anti-spam reports. It was due to a security problem.

We obtained the logs, including our logs from one of our firewall programs. Most IPs could not be identified, but we did identify two that were interesting: One was traced back to a specific individual who has frequented hacking message boards, who has links to a particular organization that has engaged in interference with Black Box Voting .org. The other traced back to the Department of Defense. These were not Web site visits, but intrusion actions, and there are ways to tell the difference.

While examining these logs, we were also able to identify visits to the Web site by Agent Mike or someone related to his organization. (“Agent Mike” is the Secret Service agent who interviewed Bev Harris several times last year about an alleged VoteHere hack, but mostly about the Diebold Memos). Most of Agent Mike’s IP traces -- identified from a series of e-mails he sent to Bev Harris -- are from a special use category that does not permit tracing. One of Agent Mike’s IP addresses, however, leads back to the anti-terrorism asset forfeiture branch of the U.S. Treasury. We have not looked for Agent Mike on all the logs, but the last time he or his friends visited appears to be October 2004.

Rob@... 20 Dec 2004

Dear Friend: After three-and-a-half years of waiting, the DEA has
blocked the only proposed research project that could lead to FDA
approval of marijuana as a prescription medicine.

Please read on to find out why this ostensibly bad news actually
provides a big boost to the Marijuana Policy Project's efforts to pass
federal- and state-level medical marijuana legislation ... as well as
a boost to the medical marijuana case before the U.S. Supreme Court.

On December 10, the DEA announced its rejection of a 2001 University
of Massachusetts at Amherst application to establish a facility to
produce marijuana for FDA-approved research.

Please visit http://www.mpp.org/states/site/quicknews.cgi?key=824 and
http://mpp.org/USA/news_786.html to read the news coverage.

Currently, there is only one source of marijuana that can be used in
FDA-approved research -- the marijuana produced by the University of
Mississippi for the federal government's National Institute on Drug
Abuse. Significantly, this marijuana cannot be the marijuana that is
moved through the FDA approval process, because prescription medicines
cannot be government-owned ... which is why researchers have been
trying for years to gain approval to produce a private supply of
marijuana that can be tested, reproduced, studied in clinical trials,
and ultimately approved by the FDA as a prescription medicine.

In rejecting the researchers' application, the DEA stated that it
would allow only one source of marijuana in the U.S. -- the federal
government's supply in Mississippi -- which makes it impossible that
the FDA could ever approve marijuana as a prescription medicine.

And, just in case there is any doubt about the DEA's intent to block
research, the DEA's letter goes on to say this: "Current marijuana
research has not progressed to Phase 2 of the clinical trials because
current research must use smoked marijuana, which ultimately cannot be
the permitted delivery system for any potential marijuana medication
due to the deleterious effects and the difficulty in monitoring the
efficaciousness of smoked marijuana." Incredibly, the DEA is declaring
that the FDA cannot approve marijuana before Phase 2 and Phase 3
clinical trials are even completed (not that they even can be started
with a private supply of marijuana). Visit http://www.mpp.org/pdf/
DEA.pdf to download the letter.

In other words, the DEA has proven that the system is rigged to ensure
that the FDA can never approve marijuana as a prescription medicine,
because the DEA can always block the research that the FDA requires.

While the DEA's action is a setback for the effort to make marijuana
available as a prescription medicine through the FDA approval process,
it actually boosts MPP's efforts to remove penalties for medical
marijuana through the legislative process ... and may help win the
medical marijuana case before the U.S. Supreme Court.

In the Supreme Court three weeks ago, Justice Stephen Breyer suggested
that patients should go to the FDA to get marijuana approved as a
medicine, but now the DEA has slammed the door on that possibility.

By taking the hard-line position it has, the DEA has just eliminated
our opponents' most effective and often-used argument against our
federal and state-level medical marijuana bills -- that marijuana
should move through the FDA approval process and therefore we
shouldn't be trying to use the legislative process. Now that FDA
approval is impossible, it blows apart our opponents' argument. MPP is
making sure that all members of Congress and all state legislators
nationwide hear this message loud and clear.

In sum, since the DEA's decision means the only way to protect
patients from arrest is through state and federal legislation, our
efforts in both Congress and the states are even more urgent.

MPP will be using the DEA's announcement to propel the various medical
marijuana bills through the legislatures of Connecticut, Illinois,
Minnesota, New York, and Rhode Island. Please visit http://
www.mpp.org/donate1095 to help us fund these campaigns.

Thank you, as always, for your support. Sincerely,

Rob Kampia Executive Director
Marijuana Policy Project Washington, D.C.

"Arbitrary and capricious" is legal language that was used by DEA
Administrative Law Judge Francis Young in 1988 to conclude that DEA
was obligated under the Controlled Substances Act to reschedule
marijuana as a prescription medicine. DEA Chief Administrator Robert
Bonner  proceeded to arbitrarily and capriciously disregard Judge
Young's well  researched and reasoned decision, which the Act allowed
him to do.

The Folly of Our Drug Policies By Steve Chapman
CN Source: Chicago Tribune December 20, 2004
People learn from experience, but the process can be very slow. In
1973, New York enacted what were known as the Rockefeller drug laws,
which imposed some of the harshest sentences in the country. The other
day, Gov. George Pataki signed a bill retreating from that draconian
approach. It only took 31 years, billions of dollars, and thousands of
lives that were wrecked because of youthful mistakes and very bad
luck.

The DEA's Smokescreen
CN Source: Republican December 19, 2004
Thumbs up, thumbs down The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency won't let Lyle
E. Craker grow marijuana in his University of Massachusetts laboratory
for a federally approved research project because it is against the
law to smoke marijuana. Huh?

This is a smokescreen by one federal agency to obstruct legitimate
scientific research that will help determine the risks and benefits of
marijuana as a prescription medicine.

Craker, as director of the Medicinal Plant Program at the University
of Massachusetts-Amherst, is qualified to conduct the research, which
has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The DEA objects because it cannot allow smoking to be the "permitted
delivery system" for marijuana as a potential medication.

Craker should appeal the decision.

For those living with the pain and nausea associated with cancer,
multiple sclerosis, AIDS and other serious illnesses who might benefit
with marijuana as a prescription drug, we wish him success.

MMJ User Tries To Stop DMV from Taking Her License By Brian Melley

The Department of Motor Vehicles postponed a driver's license test for

her lawyer claimed on Tuesday that she was being unfairly targeted for
review without any driving violations. Diane Monson received notice
from the DMV earlier this month that she needed to appear at a re-

not say why she was selected, but she said with the exception of a
speeding ticket 15 years ago she had spotless record.

2. Oppressive, dictatorial control. - The American Heritage Dictionary

"The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be
believed, for the vast masses of the nation are in the depths of their
hearts more easily deceived than they are consciously and
intentionally bad. The primitive simplicity of their minds renders
them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one, for they
themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed to tell a big
one."

"How many murders, suicides, robberies, criminal assaults, holdups,
burglaries and deeds of maniacal insanity it causes each year,

become a joyous reveller in a musical heaven, a mad insensate, a calm
philosopher, or a murderer..."

"Cannabis can be used on an episodic but continual basis without
evidence of social or psychic dysfunction. In many users the term
dependence with its obvious connotations, probably is mis-applied...
The chief opposition to the drug rests on a moral and political, and
not toxicologic, foundation".

"Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be
made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way around, to
consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise."

"There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are

One well known effect of THC is to life the spirit, or make you
"high." Cannabis users in Jamaica praise ganja's benefits for
meditation, concentration, consciousness-raising and promoting a state
of well being and self assertiveness.5 This kind of attitude
adjustment, along with a healthier appetite and better rest, often
represents the difference between feeling like you are "dying of" AIDS
or cancer and feeling like you are "living with" AIDS or cancer.
Cannabis also eases small pains and some big ones and helps senior
citizens live with aches and pains like arthritis, insomnia and
debilitating infirmities, and enjoy life in greater dignity and
comfort. Legend has it, and medical evidence indicates, that cannabis
is the best overall treatment for dementia, senility, and maybe
Alzheimer's disease, for long-term memory "gain" and hundreds of other
benefits. U.S. statistics of the 1970s indicated that you will live
eight to 24 years longer if you substitute daily cannabis use for
daily tobacco and alcohol use. New research is outlawed, of course.

Every U.S. commission or federal judge who has studied the evidence
has agreed that cannabis is one of the safest drugs known. With all
its therapeutic uses, it has only one side effect that has been
exaggerated as a concern: the "high." The DEA says this is not
acceptable, so cannbis continues to be totally illegal in utter
disregard for both doctor and patient. Every day we trust physicians
to determine whether the risks associated with therapeutic, yet
potentially dangerous drugs are acceptable for their patients. Yet,
doctors are not allowed to prescribe the herb that Federal Judge
Francis Young in 1988 called "one of the safest therapeutically active
substances known to man." We don't put out doctors in charge of
stopping violent crimes. The police, prosecutors and prison guards
should not be in charge of which herbal therapies people may use to
treat their personal health problems.

Seeking Rest From the Terrors, New York Pops Pills By Jonathan

New Yorkers are increasingly turning to sedation to help them escape

denizens--many grieving for lost friends and family--are looking to
medicine more than ever before to help fall asleep. `The week of the
11th, there were very few calls because patients assumed we were tied
up taking care of the disaster and probably thought their problems
seemed small,'' said Charles Bardes, associate professor of clinical
medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College and a New York Hospital

SLEEP AND RELAXATION

Cannabis lowers blood pressure, dilates the arteries and reduces body
temperature an average of one-half degree, thereby relieving stress.
Evening cannabis smokers in general report more restful sleep. Using
cannabis allows most people a more complete rest with a higher amount
of "alpha time" during sleep as compared with prescription or sleep-
inducing patent sedatives. Prescription sleeping pills (the so called
"legal, safe and effective" drugs) are often just synthesized analogs
of truly dangerous plants like mandrake, henbane and belladonna. As
late as 1991, doctors, pharmacists and drug companies were fighting
off new legislation to restrict these often abused compounds. (L.A.
Times, April 2, 1991). Unlike Valium, cannabis does not potentiate the
effects of alcohol. It is estimated that cannabis could replace more
than 50% of Valium, Librium, Thorazine, Stelazine, other "-zine" drugs
and most sleeping pills. It is unconscionable that, over the past two
decades, tens of thousands of parents have committed their own
children, aged 11 to 17, to be treated by massive doses of so-called
"-zine" drugs in order to get them off pot, at the urging of parent
groups, the PDFA, the feds and administrators and doctors from
federally approved, private and high-profit drug rehabilitation
centers. Often, "-zine" drugs do work to stop these youths from using
pot.

They also stop a kid from loving his or her dog, too - and children
stand a one-in-four chance of suffering from uncontrollable shaking
for the rest of their lives.* But at least they're not high. * The
U.S. Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta said that 20-40% of "-
zine" drug users have or will develop permanent lifetime pasies
(shakes), November 1983. These prescription neurotoxins are chemically
related to the pesticide and warfare nerve gas Sarin. Hundreds of
private drug-rehabilitation centers and their leaders keep this policy
alive and in front of the media, often quoting discredited reports
from NIDA or DEA (see Chapter 16, debunking) - because they earn fat
profits selling their useless or destructive "marijuana treatment" for
children. After all, a relapse just means using marijuana against
after a number of bouts with an "authority." This is mind control and
an attempt to destroy individual free will.

CANNABIS LUNG CLEANER AND EXPECTORANT

Cannabis is the best natural expectorant to clear the human lungs of
smog, dust and the phlegm associated with tobacco use. Marijuana smoke
effectively dilates the airways of the lungs, the bronchi, opening
them to allow more oxygen into the lungs. It is also the best natural
dilator of the tiny airways of the lungs, the bronchial tubes - making
cannabis the best overall bronchial dilator for 80% of the population
(the remaining 20% sometimes show minor negative reactions). (See
section on asthma - a disease that closes these passages in spasms -
UCLA Tashkin studies, 1969-97; U.S. Costa Rican, 1980-82; Jamaican
studies 1969-74, 76.)

Statistical evidence - showing up consistently as anomalies in matched
populations - indicates that people who smoke tobacco cigarettes are
usually better off and will live longer if they smoke cannabis
moderately, too. (Jamaican, Costa Rican studies.) Millions of
Americans have given up or avoided smoking tobacco products in favor
of cannabis, which is not good news to the powerful tobacco lobby -
Senator Jesse Helms and his cohorts. A turn-of-the-century grandfather
clause in U.S. tobacco law allows 400 to 6,000 additional chemicals to
be added. Additions since then to the average tobacco cigarette are
unknown, and the public in the U.S. has no right to know what they
are. Many joggers and marathon runners feel cannabis use cleans their
lungs, allowing better endurance. The evidence indicates that cannabis
use will probably increase these outlaw American marijuana-users'
lives by about one to two years - yet they may lose their rights,
property, children, state licenses, etc., just for using that safest
of substances: cannabis.

Extracted Textually from the Gospels
Compiled by Thomas Jefferson
Edited by Eyler Robert Coates, Sr.

. . . Thomas Jefferson believed that the ethical system of Jesus was
the finest the world has ever seen. In compiling what has come to be
called "The Jefferson Bible," he sought to separate those ethical
teachings from the religious dogma and other supernatural elements
that are intermixed in the account provided by the four Gospels. He
presented these teachings, along with the essential events of the life
of Jesus, in one continuous narrative.

"I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature."

Of Jesus] Among the sayings and discourses imputed to him by his
biographers, I find many passages of fine imagination, correct
morality, and of the the most lovely benevolence, and others, again of
so much ignorance, so much absurdity, so much untruth, charlatanism
and imposture, as to pronounce it impossible that such contradictions
should have proceeded from the same being. I separate, therefore, the
dross; restore to him the former and leave the latter to the stupidity
of some, the roguery of others of his disciples. Of this band of dupes
and imposters, Paul was the great Coryphaeus, and first corruptor of
the doctrines of Jesus.
Jefferson Letter to W. Short, 1820.

But the greatest of all reformers of the depraved religion of his
country was Jesus of Nazareth.  Abstracting  what is really his from
the rubbish in which it is buried, easily distinguished by its lustre
from the dross of his biographers, as is separable from that as
diamonds from a dunghill, we have the outlines of a system of the most
sublime morality of man ... The establishment of the innocent and
genuine character of this benevolent morality, and the rescuing it
from the imputation of imposture, which has resulted from artificial
systems invented by ultra-Christian sects (*)... is most desirable.

(*) Jeffersons footnote: "The imaculate conception of Jesus, his
deification, the creation of the world by him, his miraculous powers,
his resurrection and visible ascension, his corporeal presence in the
Eucharist, the Trinity, original sin, atonement, regeneration,
election, orders of hierarchy, etc. -TJ"
Jefferson Letter to W. Short Oct 31, 1819

The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus by the Supreme

fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter.

The United States is in no way founded upon the Christian religion
-- George Washington & John Adams, in a diplomatic message to Malta.

This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no
religion in it.
  -- John Adams, in a letter to Thomas Jefferson.

I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any
party of men whatever,  in religion, in philosophy, in politics or in
anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an
addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I
could not go to Heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all.

Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there
be one, he must more approve the homage of reason, than that of
blindfolded fear.... Do not be frightened from this inquiry from any
fear of its consequences. If it ends in the belief that there is no
God, you will find  incitements to virtue in the comfort and
pleasantness you feel in its exercise...
  -- Thomas Jefferson, in a 1787 letter to his nephew

The Bible is not my book, and Christianity is not my religion. I could
never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian
dogma.
-- Abraham Lincoln

Neither the trappings of robes, nor temples of stone, nor a fixed
liturgy, nor an extensive literature or history is required to meet
the test of beliefs cognizable under the Constitution as religious. So
far as our law is concerned, one person's religious beliefs held for
one day are presumptively entitled to the same protection as the
beliefs of millions which have been shared for thousands of years.
-- Judge Jack Weinstein, New York State, 1977

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may
be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons
than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may
sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those
who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they
do so with the approval of their consciences.
-- C. S. Lewis

Morality is always the product of terror; its chains and strait-
waistcoats are fashioned by those who dare not trust others, because
they dare not trust themselves, to walk in liberty.
-- Aldous Huxley

He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy
from oppression: for if he violates this duty, he establishes a
precedent that will reach unto himself.
-- Thomas Paine

Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of
authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was
made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There
are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern.
They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.
-- Daniel Webster

The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any
member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm
to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient
warrant.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed

Christ and Cannabis, Jesus Used Marijuana
As doubtful as the following hypothesis might first seem to the
reader, I might as well boldly state my case right from the start:
either Jesus used marijuana or he was not the Christ. The very word
"Christ", by the implication of its linguistic origins and true
meaning, gives us the most profound evidence that Jesus did in fact
use the same herb as his ancient semitic ancestors, and which is still
used by people around the world for its enlightening and healing
properties.

The Scythians, High Plains Drifters...

Excerpted: The Scythians were a barbaric group of pre-Common Era
nomadic tribes who are a fascinating example of an ancient cannabis
using group. The Scythians played a very important part in the Ancient
World from the seventh to first century BC. They were expert horsemen,
and were one of the earliest peoples to master the art of riding and
using horse-drawn covered wagons. This early high mobility is probably
why most scholars credit them with the spread of cannabis knowledge
throughout the ancient world. Indeed, the Scythian people travelled
and settled extensively throughout Europe, the Mediterranean, Central
Asia, and Russia, bringing their knowledge of the spiritual and
practical uses for cannabis with them.

Mellowing with Time
    It could well be that in later times the cannabis smoke had
somewhat mellowed the Scythians, and their spiritual leaders directed
them towards becoming a more civilized people. The ancient Greek
historian Ephorus wrote in the fourth century BC that the Scythians
'feed on mares milk and excel all men in justice'. His comments were
followed in the first century BC by Strabo, who wrote that 'we regard
the Scythians as the most just of men and the least prone to mischief,
as also far more frugal and independent of others than we are.'

THEN GOD SAID, I GIVE YOU EVERY SEED-BEARING PLANT

GENESIS 1:29-30

Those words seem straightforward enough, and yet cannabis and most
other psychoactive medicine plants are outlawed in our society. Those
who use these plant gat eways to other states of consciousness are
jailed for doing so.

Ironically, the major force for continuing this plant prohibition is a
group referred to as the Christian Right. They claim to believe in
both the Bible and old Yahweh, yet Yahweh's opinion on the matter is
stated quite clearly in the above quotation.

Visions of a Sacred Tree

When Smoke Gets in My Eye By Chris Bennet

The First Cultivated Crop

Ancient and modern historians, archaeologists, anthropologists and
philologists all agree that cannabis is one of mankind's oldest
cultivated crops. The weaving of hemp fibre began 10,000 years ago, at
approximately the same time as pottery making and prior to metal
working.

In his book The Dragons of Eden, Carl Sagan has speculated that
cannabis may have been the first crop cultivated by stone age man. He
based this assertion upon the example of the pygmies. The pygmies were
basically hunter-gatherers until they started planting the cannabis
which they used for religious purposes. The pygmies say that they have
been smoking cannabis "since the beginning of time."

Professor Richard E. Schultes, the director of the Botanical Museum at
Harvard University and a prominent researcher in the field of
psychoactive plants, wrote an article titled Man and Marijuana in
which he states: ...early man experimented with all plant materials
that he could chew and could not have avoided discovering the
properties of cannabis (marijuana), for in his quest for seeds and
oil, he certainly ate the sticky tops of the plant. Upon eating hemp,
the euphoric, ecstatic and hallucinatory aspects may have introduced
man to an other-worldly plane from which emerged religious beliefs,
perhaps even the concept of deity. The plant became accepted as a
special gift of the gods, a sacred medium for communion with the
spiritual world and as such it has remained in some cultures to the
present.

The effects of cannabis was proof to the ancients that the spirit and
power of the gods (or goddesses) existed in this plant and that it was
literally a messenger (angel), or actually the flesh and blood and/or
bread of the god/s, and therefore a holy sacrament. continued...

Prohibition and the Bible
http://www.olywa.net/when/bible-toc.html

Cannabis and the Bible(Coptic)
Herb (Ganja/Cannabis) is a Godly creation from the beginning of the
world. It is known as the weed of wisdom, angel's food, the tree of
life and even the "Wicked Old Ganja Tree". Its purpose in creation is
as a fiery sacrifice to be offered to our Redeemer during obligations.
The political worldwide organizations have framed mischief on it and
called it drugs. To show that it is not a dangerous drug, let me
inform my readers that it is used as food for mankind, and as a
medicinal cure for diverse diseases. Ganja is not for commerce; yet
because of the oppression of the people, it was raised up as the only
liberator of the people, and the only peacemaker among the entire
generation. Ganja is the sacramental rights of every man worldwide and
any law against it is only the organized conspiracy of the United
Nations and the political governments who assist in maintaining this
conspiracy.

EVIDENCE INDICATING THE SEMITIC ORIGIN OF CANNABIS
http://www.etext.org/Politics/CRC/incense

Excerpted: The name cannabis is generally thought to be of Scythian
origin. Sula Benet in Cannabis and Culture argues that it has a much
earlier origin in Semitic languages like Hebrew, occurring several
times in the Old Testament. He states that in Exodus 30:23 that God
commands Moses to make a holy anointing oil of myrrh, sweet cinnamon,
kaneh bosm, and kassia. He continues that the word kaneh bosm is also
rendered in the traditional Hebrew as kannabos or kannabus and that
the root "kan" in this construction means "reed" or "hemp," while
"bosm" means "aromatic." He states that in the earliest Greek
translations of the old testament "kan" was rendered as "reed,"
leading to such erroneous English translations as "sweet calamus"
(Exodus 30:23), sweet cane (Isaiah 43:24; Jeremiah 6:20) and "calamus"
(Ezekiel 27:19; Song of Songs 4:14). Benet argues from the linguistic
evidence that cannabis was known in Old Testament times at least for
its aromatic properties and that the word for it passed from the
Semitic language to the Scythians, i.e. the Ashkenaz of the Old
Testament.

The jewish people recognized that hempseed oil burned brighter, longer
and cleaner in their oil lamps. This relates directly to hanukah. If
GOD gave them oil and supplies to last through desparate times, was it
indeed hemp seed oil?

people died and fifty others went completely insane for about four
weeks because of ergot (mold) infested rye flour.

The Distinctly Non-Christian Origins of the United States of America
http://www.chestnutcafe.com/cafe/US_History.html

There are those who would have us believe that the United States of
America was founded on Christian ideals - that the writers of the
Declaration of Independence and the framers of the Constitution of the
United States of America were "God-Fearing Christians." I've heard
people say these things with great conviction. Christian revisionism
of the history of this nation has turned George Washington - a Deist -
into a "God Fearing Christian." It has led to the contamination of our
currency and coins (in the 1950's) with "In God We Trust" and to the
corruption of the Pledge of Allegiance (also in the 1950's) by the
addition of "under God". It is now the  year 2000 - an election year.
Being "Born again" is all the rage amongst presidential candidates.
They don't have the slightest clue how backward their beliefs would
appear to the Founders of this Nation.

The first Anglo settlers in North America (I use the word "Anglo"
because the continent was clearly already settled by the Native
Americans) were the Puritans who arrived first in 1620. Were the
Puritans Christian? To me, this is a stupid question, but I ask it for
a reason. Whenever I bring up the subject of a Christian who is a
murderer or rapist, my Christian friends are quick to point out to me
that the person in question is not a "real" Christian. In this way -
disclaiming all who are deemed undesirable - Christians are able to
keep their ranks pure. This being the case, can the Christians of
today honestly claim that the Puritan settlers were Christian? The
Puritans murdered and stole land from Native Americans. They burned at
the stake - in public forums for all to see - Witches, Heretics,
Unitarians, Atheists, Agnostics ....... everyone and anyone whose
beliefs differed in any way from their own. And while we are so
accustomed to hearing "burned at the stake" that we are no longer
appalled by the phrase, just think for a moment what that entails. The
Puritans stood and watched as the flesh charred and flaked away from
the bodies of their tormented victims. Did they sing "Jesus loves me"
as they watched? If these people were Christian, then so is every evil
person who has ever called himself or herself a Christian. If
Christians wish to claim the Puritans as their own, then they have
absolutely no right to say of  other people that they are not "real
Christians".

The United States was born with the Declaration of Independence
(1776). The document was drafted by Thomas Jefferson (a distinctly
anti-Christian Deist) between June 11 and June 28.

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one
people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with
another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and
equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle
them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they
should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of
Happiness. [.......]"

Christians often recite those portions of the Declaration of
Independence which refer to the "Creator", and yet they seem to forget
the fact that the document begins with a passage that refers to
Nature's God. Christians will claim that the use of words such as
"Creator" is a sign that Christian ideology and ideals were in the
hearts and minds of the founders. Such thoughts are nothing more than
Christian fantasy and delusion. The drafter of the Declaration of
Independence was staunchly Deist and despised Christianity in all its
forms.

"I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature."
- Thomas Jefferson

From the author of the website As everyone who knows me knows, I am a
great George Orwell fan. In Orwell's wonderful Novel Animal Farm, the
animals become rather dismayed by their poor memories. Poor Clover
could have sworn the commandment on the barn wall was "No animal shall
kill any other animal," but it clearly say "No animal shall kill any
other animal without cause." And the commandment isn't "No animal
shall drink alcohol" after all - it is "No animal shall drink alcohol
to excess." And for the longest time the animals had faulty memories
of the motto "Four legs good - Two legs bad" for the motto was
actually "Four legs good - Two legs better."

Are we a Christian Nation? Those who ask this question are frequently
greeted with a bellowing "We are One Nation UNDER GOD!" I for one have
personally received that response on numerous occasions. And like poor
Clover in Animal Farm, I am just a dumb animal and I think to myself
"One nation under God .... Yes, that's how I remember it ... that
sounds right." And being a dumb animal, I look at the coins in my
pocket and read "IN GOD WE TRUST" and I think "That's how I remember
it - that's how it has always been."

But the wool has been pulled over my eyes, for the country is not as
it once was. It was during the anti-Communist paranoia of the 1950's
that the words "under God" and "In God We Trust" penetrated our
government and altered (unconstitutionally) our Pledge of Allegiance,
our coins, and our currency." But as sinister and appalling as these
changes are, I do not fear them as they are in the past. The changes
that I fear are those that lie in the future. Be vigilant, and be
wise!

that occurred during the 1950's can be found by clicking on the banner
at the bottom of this page. Or, if you would like to read about how
the Christians stole Christmas (and Easter and Valentine's Day) from
secular people and made these holidays religious.

To all Khristzion Ganjawar Junkies

Dear twisted geeeezus freak babykiller poison pusher without a clue as
to why the Ganjawar exists. You abort more pregnancies with your 90
million pounds of herb and pesticides on the cotton clothes you push
in your wallmart . You spray those poisons but not all of it stays on
the crop. Much of it runs off, and you bible thumping midgetbrained
chickenhawk bitches think its just an act of God, so forgetabout it.
Its the right wing anti-conservative fortune 700 club naziphucks kids
having the abortions. Too afraid of their murdering for Pat&Jer Op
rescue parents to discuss condoms. Proper obedience given to the male
head of the house, even if its the family minivan. Lying spoiled
isolationists merkin fascists cheerleaders.

Now lets talk about the abortions from those agent orange bombs or the
smart bombs hitting infrastructures or depleted uranium poisoning for
what ? Oil, fucking oil in Colombia, Thailand Vietnam or Iraq. Veggie
oil grown by farmers works for me, hemp takes little or no chemicals
but because of reefer mad idiot s like you keeping the stigma alive
with your cheech and chong generalizations about Ganja. Profits on
poisoning and profits on treating the poisons with even more chemicals
from the drug store you boot licking anti American coward!

Now how about the needle exchanges you wod junkie fothermuckers cry
about and close down? How many abortions or new Hep C or AIDs babies
you create with your Ganjawar. Ass assassins! Those christinsanely
sodomized in juvi prison or as adults to live with that trauma cause
they grew some marijuana? How sick are you to profit on such misery.

The pollution Ganja protects against aborts more, you can wimply call
miscarriage but its the same thing. You whine about the environmental
protection and the environmentals whine about you while both avoid the
reality that hemp makes stronger wood products and paper without the
bleaches and replaces many of the pesticides and chemicals as a border
crop. But cause of naive twit's spreading gossip to either make a
paycheck or just plain ignorance, are worse than Hitler or Polpot.
They only murdered millions. You assist in the poisoning and treatment
cycle. With only Ganja/hemp as a natural competition and answer to the
problem you aren't even aware of. You suck it up and do what your told
and cry about Fauxnews red herrings until your tired and pass out,
then get up  and go to work, come home and do it over. While you spray
the cockroaches scurrying behind the lead based paint your rug rat
just ate. You synthetic degenerate pushing your cardboard foods on
nationwide tv for decades and now wonder why obesity and heart disease
is epidemic? With again Ganja as much an appetite regulator to
decrease the cravings as it does to increase them for wasting syndrome
patients.

The hempseed is the most nutritionally complete food on the planet and
you poison it as a Ganjawar statistic and instead settle for grain to
feed the cows, and more millions of pounds of abortion causing
babykilling generic DDT. Spread in the dirt kids play in and in the
water pregnant mommas drink and bath their babies in. Housing
materials carpets and textiles without the poisons is somehow wrong to
you Ganja phobic chickenlillies.

So many medical discoveries hidden from the public, that alone should
piss off every single red blooded American. Especially the families
who lost loved ones when a possible remedy existed but for nothing
more than greed and politicks was suppressed by the very same
government... and many of the very same scum of the earth in office
now. So I can say with no regrets that doing nothing at all is a sin,
but purposely standing in the way of Ganja truth is a mortal sin. May
your God have Mercy on your soul, when its located.

Since the Archeologists, not theory-ologists discovered the ancient
temple incensors to have trace amounts of hashish one doesn't have
much of a leap of faith to consider the fact that Jesus and Moses
inhaled and who am I to argue with their wisdom? So Sacramental Ganja
is food, fuel, fiber and FARMaceuticals including preventing illness.
An alternative to the fossil fools poisons and cardboard foods.
Alternative to chopping down rain forest or old growth or clearcutting
anything. Alternative to strip mining mountaintops when hemp
fiberboard is more dent resistant than sheet metal we import. How many
natural products is only limited by the imagination. Products grown in
Canada but DEAth threat deterrents to Mexico?   One might not feel the
need to illegally cross the border with a cash crop staple at in their
backyards. How many more years will you assist this bloody fascism
will be determined by how fast the people start seeing things for
themselves and not accepting unbelievable things cause some Enron
Anderson Worldcom ethics committee or DEAth monger said so... Though
some will probably never get it and many will bury their heads to keep
the paycheck.

Wise up steroid aunoid, your cannibalizing the country jerking that
Iraqi crude oil blue, white and redneck banner for Bushit, converted
to plastic in China then sewn by kids in Thailand sweatshops. So Ganja
phobes can spastically show the world their behind the Imperialists
jagoffs out sourcing their pollution and greed and the end of
capitalism is near. Killed by you Fascists sluts. Volunteer slave
sheople who won't even see the dividends but you follow and vote for
these International Corporatists  without allegiance to any one
country. Sucker born every minute, except the herds by the second
informing themselves on Fauxnews and stupid human tricks.
Bring it on wod junkies!
Peace, Love and Liberty or the Merchants of DEAth

Many Veterans are the "Enemy" of the Bush D.E.A.th War

Sam Stone came home, To his wife and family After serving in the
conflict overseas.
And the time that he served, Had shattered all his nerves, And left a
little shrapnel in his knee.  But the morphine eased the pain, And the
grass grew round his brain, And gave him all the confidence he lacked,
With a Purple Heart and a monkey on his back. There's a hole in
daddy's arm where all the money goes, Jesus Christ died for nothin' I
suppose. Little pitchers have big ears, Don't stop to count the years,
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios. Mmm....

Sam Stone's welcome home Didn't last too long. He went to work when
he'd spent his last dime And Sammy took to stealing When he got that
empty feeling For a hundred dollar habit without overtime. And the
gold rolled through his veins Like a thousand railroad trains, And
eased his mind in the hours that he chose, While the kids ran around
wearin' other peoples' clothes...

Sam Stone was alone When he popped his last balloon Climbing walls
while sitting in a chair Well, he played his last request While the
room smelled just like D.E.A.th With an overdose hovering in the air
But life had lost its fun And there was nothing to be done But trade
his house that he bought on the G. I. Bill For a flag draped casket on
a local heroes' hill... There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the
money goes, Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose. Little pitchers
have big ears, Don't stop to count the years, Sweet songs never last
too long on broken radios. Mmm....

Homeless Vets Already Overload Safety Net

The Homeless Vet by Gary Jacobson

In acrimonious harmony outside my cardboard box
Late again for appointment to detox
Misfortune and calamity my pox
The crickets singing seems so monotonous
Throbbing in these times barbarous
Forlornly disingenuous.

They sing to an ambiguous apparition lying there
Still with far away gaze in a thousand yard stare
Far across the sea...back there
To an Asian neverland's nowhere
As people pass on nearby streets without a care
Life, food, drink...home, no longer simple fare.

System Struggles With Volume of Down-and-Out Vets --
and There May Be Another Generation Coming

Nov. 13, 2004 — "Are they or aren't they really veterans?"
is a question often asked when encountering a homeless person claiming
to be a vet.

There's a good chance they are.

Soldiers Learn to Deal With PTSD

"There is plenty of evidence to show that one-third of [homeless
males] are veterans," says John Baskerville of Swords to Plowshares, a
non-profit veterans support group in the San Francisco Bay area.

`Get Me Off the Street'

Nearly half of the homeless vets are from the Vietnam era. Eighty
percent of them have substance abuse problems.

"I drink," says Richard Smith, a Navy vet. "I'm an Irishman. I drink
heavily."

And 45 percent of them are mentally ill and unlikely to get off the
streets without treatment.

Brian Roth, a Marine veteran, says he has been hopelessly addicted to
drugs since he came back from Vietnam in 1969, and has never had a
home of his own.

"Just get me off the street," Roth says. "I'm tired. … I'm 55 years
old.

"I'm sleeping with a guy in his van right now," he adds.

According to his records and relatives we spoke with, Roth went to
college after his military service and even completed medical school
at Michigan State before he started getting arrested for writing
illegal prescriptions.

"I know I smell like a skunk and look like one," he says. "But for a
year I've been trying to get into a program, and I will stay there if
they just make it available." continued...

Homeless Iraq vets showing up at shelters By Mark Benjamin
Washington, DC, Dec. 7 (UPI) -- U.S. veterans from the war in Iraq are
beginning to show up at homeless shelters around the country, and
advocates fear they are the leading edge of a new generation of
homeless vets not seen since the Vietnam era.

"When we already have people from Iraq on the streets, my God," said
Linda Boone, executive director of the National Coalition for Homeless
Veterans. "I have talked to enough (shelters) to know we are getting
them. It is happening and this nation is not prepared for that."

"I drove off in my truck. I packed my stuff. I lived out of my truck
for a while," Seabees Petty Officer Luis Arellano, 34, said in a
telephone interview from a homeless shelter near March Air Force Base
in California run by U.S.VETS, the largest organization in the country
dedicated to helping homeless veterans.

Arellano said he lived out of his truck on and off for three months
after returning from Iraq in September 2003. "One day you have a home
and the next day you are on the streets," he said.

In Iraq, shrapnel nearly severed his left thumb. He still has trouble
moving it and shrapnel "still comes out once in a while," Arellano
said. He is left handed.

Arellano said he felt pushed out of the military too quickly after
getting back from Iraq without medical attention he needed for his
hand -- and as he would later learn, his mind. continued...

Needle drop-boxes OK'd By DAN WHITE http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/
archive/2002/May/15/local/stories/01local.htm
Sentinel staff writer May 15, 2002

SANTA CRUZ — Parks clean-up crews and advocates for addicts are
hailing the city's decision to put disposal boxes for used syringes in
a dozen public restrooms.

After no discussion Tuesday, the council unanimously approved the
plan, which will cost the city about $900. The steel padlocked boxes
will be in bathrooms at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, the Louden
Nelson Center, Main Beach and the Municipal Wharf.

Heather Edney of the Santa Cruz Needle Exchange, a nonprofit agency
that lets intravenous drug users exchange dirty syringes for clean
ones, said, "This means people understand it's a public health issue
and nothing more. It's not about morality. It's not about whether
people should or should not use drugs."

But the council decision was met with harsh criticism from a spokesman
for the Seaside Co., owner of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, the
city's biggest tourist draw. "This sends a horrible message about
Santa Cruz to visitors and tourists," said Seaside's John Robinson...
Robinson, who was not at the council session, said Seaside was not
consulted about the proposal.

The Santa Cruz Needle Exchange hopes the plan will slow the spread of
hepatitis C and HIV.

This sends a horrible message?

Ironic that it is the city's biggest tourist draw believing these
"tourists" arn't the ones buying and selling the white powder drugs,
or the reality of STDs on the straight "tourists" getting acceptably
drunk and layed, and then passed to their loved ones back home.
Especially the condom phobes. This corporation does nothing for the
community, except clog its streets and parking and pollute the water
with its refuge.

"You Know What I'm Saying?" challenges viewers to rethink the lethal

Some California Needle Exchange Programs Emerge from Shadows
as New Law Takes Effect
http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/121/canep.shtml

The dawn of 2000 brought a glimmer of hope to California's 24 syringe
exchange programs and a wait-and-see attitude from several veterans of
one of drug policy reform's highest-stakes battlegrounds.

As of January 1st, a new law protects syringe exchange practitioners
in the state from prosecution – if the locality they serve declares a
public-health emergency and re-declares the emergency every two weeks.

The statute is a weaker version of a bill that California Governor
Gray Davis had threatened to veto last year. The original bill would
have acknowledged the effectiveness of syringe exchange programs in
combating the spread of hepatitis C and HIV, and would have allowed
such programs to operate without a public-emergency declaration.

Davis signed the weaker bill last October. To date, the cities of Los
Angeles and Berkeley, as well as Marin, Alameda, San Francisco, Contra
Costa, Santa Cruz and San Mateo counties, have declared public health
emergencies.

Jobs and cash crops and alternatives grown almost any place with dirt.
A natural weed to deter harmful weeds instead of Monsanto agent orange
or DDT. A weed that deters harmful bugs instead of Tom Delays
pesticide killers. A weed with deep roots to aerate the soil inviting
worms and other natural fertilizers. All the synthetic drugs Waldo
sells, causing side effects,  requiring more over the counter meds. To

Israel: IDF To Treat Shell Shock With Cannabis August 05, 2004
The IDF will soon begin using cannabis to treat soldiers suffering
from combat stress, the military said Wednesday. An army statement
said the military medical corps and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem
would begin treating victims of post-traumatic stress - commonly known
as shell shock - with THC, the active ingredient in the cannabis
plant. It said the treatment would begin on an experimental basis.
"The use of THC as part of the treatment for post-traumatic stress
disorder was approved by military and civilian committees relevant to
the subject," the statement said.

Israeli soldiers suffering from combat stress could soon be treated
with cannabis to relieve their symptoms. "The Israel Defence Forces
(IDF) medical corps, in cooperation with the Hebrew University in
Jerusalem, is introducing the use of THC, the active agent in the
cannabis plant, which helps relieve post-traumatic stress disorders,
on an experimental basis," an army statement said. The mental health
department of the Medical Corps was set to to begin tests on
volunteers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder after reserve
duty. Hundreds of Israelis have been treated for combat stress after
performing their mandatory national service in the West Bank and Gaza
Strip.

Bush's Faustian Deal With the Taliban
National Column Robert Scheer.com
Published May 22,2001 in the Los Angeles Times
That's the message sent with the recent gift of $43 million to the
Taliban rulers of Afghanistan, the most virulent anti-American
violators of human rights in the world today. The gift, announced last
Thursday by Secretary of State Colin Powell, in addition to other
recent aid, makes the U.S. the main sponsor of the Taliban and rewards
that "rogue regime" for declaring that opium growing is against the
will of God. So, too, by the Taliban's estimation, are most human
activities, but it's the ban on drugs that catches this
administration's attention.

A Flood of Mentally Ill Soldiers Coming Home From Iraq By Sam Hamod
studioron@... 18 Dec 2004
http://www.aljazeerah.info/17%20o

Contrary to the NY Times reports by Scott Shane today, psychologists
at Camp Pendleton Marine Base in California have said that
approximately 30% of the marines returning from Iraq have serious
mental problems. Shane writes of 1 in 6, those psychologists who spoke
with me said it was more like 1 in 3--twice what the NY Times is
reporting. But then again, we know the NY Times has been soft on the
Bush team in its reporting about negative matters pertaining to the
Iraq and Afghan wars.

Elaine Cassel and I wrote an article about this, "When the Killers
Come Home," back when the war in Iraq started, because we knew what
kind of brutality our leaders were urging the military to train into
our soldiers. This brutal training, pushed especially by Wolfowitz and
the generals under Rumsfeld at the Pentagon and in the field, went,
and continues to go against, the decency most of our soldiers were
taught in their churches and in their homes. This attitude of treating
Iraqis as "ragheads," "satan's soldiers," "worthless pieces of shit,"
and "the enemy, destroy them all," has made our soldiers into animals
on the kill--that's why they are killing so many innocent civilians in
Iraq and Afghanistan.

Another factor in this equation that no one in the major American
media will touch, but the British journalists like Robert Fisk,
Patrick and Alexander Cockburn, do speak about, is the Israeli
presence and influence on American troops through their new influence
at the Rumsfeld Pentagon. Many ex-Israeli officers, Mossad, and South
African Israeli trained mercenaries are directing and training
American troops in "urban warfare," and torture methods. This Israeli
posture on behavior is contrary to the best of American values of
decency and humanity.

An example of how our homecoming troops have been damaged can be seen
in the case of Jeffrey Lucey who was so upset with his recollections
of the war that he hanged himself shortly after returning from Iraq.

Another case is Robert Brown

"Robert E. Brown was proud to be in the first wave of Marines
invading Iraq last year. But Mr. Brown has also found himself in the
first ranks of returning soldiers to be unhinged by what they
experienced.  He served for six months as a Marine chaplain's
assistant, counseling wounded soldiers, organizing makeshift  memorial
services and filling in on raids. He knew he was in trouble by the
time he was on a ship home, when the sound of a hatch slamming would
send him diving to the floor. After he came home, he began drinking
heavily and saw his marriage fall apart, Mr. Brown said. He was
discharged and returned to his hometown, Peru, Ind., where he slept
for two weeks in his Ford Explorer, surrounded by mementos of the
war." (NY Times, Dec. 16, 2004)

Thus, the mental breakdowns in our troops because they were being
taught to behave in ways that were contrary to everything they'd been
taught as they grew up in a more humane America. Our military, with
the influence of the Israelis has created this problem, has sickened
our soldiers, some unto death. Now, these soldiers and their families,
and all the rest of us, must live with these mentally sick people--
many of whom have already violently attacked their wives and children
or taken their own lives. There is little word on how the women have
behaved on their return, but I'm sure it is not good. Many have
wondered what transformed Ms. England from a "down home girl" into the
person she became in Iraq at Abu Ghraib.

Also, we, as citizens, will be paying the financial bill for these
soldiers and their mental disabilities for years, according to
psychological experts in and out of the military. Add to this the long
term illnesses these soldiers will sustain, as will their deformed
children, from the Depleted Uranium they have lived in since the
invasion began.

  Also, to be dealt with in another article in the near future, is the
psychological damage our invasion of Iraq has visited upon generations
of Iraqis, old to the very young--as well as the physical injuries the
Iraqis sustained from our incessant bombings and the long-term
illnesses from Depleted Uranium. Also, remember that the whole world
has seen our cruelty on the Iraqi and Afghan scenes--this has turned
not only Muslims and Arabs against us, but also over 80% of the
citizens of the world (regardless of what their governments may say in
England, Poland and Australia).

All I can say is that the worst is yet to come. Perhaps then, the
American citizenry will awaken to the truth about
Bush,Rumsfeld,Cheney, Tommy Franks, General Myers, Wolfowitz, Sanchez
and General Abizaid--that they were the enemy of America and its
people, they were the ones responsible for the poisoning of American
soldiers with D.U. and the mental breakdowns because of the brutality
they forced on our soldiers, not the Iraqi or Afghan civilians who
were traumatized, maimed and killed

Investigative Journalist,
"Dark Alliance" Author Gary Webb Dead at Age 49
http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/367/garywebb.shtml

Phillip S. Smith, Writer/Editor, psmith@..., 12/17/04

Gary Webb, the prize-winning former San Jose Mercury News
investigative reporter whose series on the "dark alliance" between the
CIA and Nicaraguan Contras to import cocaine into the US in the early
1980s ignited a firestorm of controversy, died December 10 an apparent
suicide. He was found in his suburban Sacramento home suffering from a
gunshot wound to the head. A note accompanied his body, but its
contents have not been disclosed.

http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/367/garywebb.jpg

While Webb was most notorious for the "Dark Alliance" series, which he
turned into a 548-page book of the same name, he was a reporter whose
interest in drug policy both preceded and extended    Gary Webb beyond
the murky world of Reagan-era drugs and guns in Central America. In
1993, while at the in Mérida Mercury News, Webb penned an
investigative series on asset forfeiture abuse, "The Forfeiture
Racket," which is credited with helping to undo California's
forfeiture law. The series, which appeared as the state legislature
was confronting the issue, documented widespread abuses and helped
turn public opinion against asset forfeiture. The result was a new
forfeiture law that required a criminal conviction before property
could be forfeited.

But it was "Dark Alliance" that both made Webb's name and ruined his
career. While links between Nicaraguan counterrevolutionaries who
helped finance their war through the cocaine traffic and the CIA had
been made previously, Webb's investigative series and subsequent book
took it to a new level, arguing that the conspiracy between the CIA
and the Contras was directly tied to the crack cocaine explosion of
the early 1980s in Los Angeles. The series exploded on the national
media-scape like a roadside bomb and led to surreal scenes like that
in Los Angeles in the fall of 1996 when the head of the CIA was loudly
booed and jeered at a crowded public meeting where attendees held his
agency responsible for the crack epidemic.

But "Dark Alliance" quickly came under attack from the largest
newspapers in the country -- all of which had failed miserably in
reporting the connections between the CIA, the Contras, and the
cocaine traffic. The Washington Post, the New York Times, and the Los
Angeles Times all attacked Webb's conclusions, and his own paper
eventually turned on him. Within a few months of publishing "Dark
Alliance," the Mercury News stepped back from its conclusions and took
Webb off the story. He resigned rather than accept a humiliating
transfer to a state politics beat.

While there were errors in some of the particulars in the series and
subsequent book, its broad conclusions have withstood the test of
time. That the Reagan administration at best turned a blind eye to
drug running by
its Central American proxy armies is now well-documented and
uncontroversial. That some of the cocaine trafficked by the Contras
ended up in the hands of pioneering LA crack entrepreneur "Freeway
Ricky" Ross is
also undeniable.

But Webb suffered as much from the enthusiasm of his supporters as the
slings and arrows of his foes. Some readers were all too eager to
loudly cry "genocide" and to turn his carefully documented findings
into the stuff of conspiracy theories, making it all the easier to
discredit Webb for the ravings of his most extreme followers.

Despite having won more than 30 journalism awards in his career, Webb
was effectively marginalized as a mainstream journalist after "Dark
Alliance." He found work in the California state assembly until he was
laid off after the November elections and had taken a new position
with a California political publication, the Sacramento News and
Review. But even while at the legislature, Webb returned to reporting
on aspects of the drug war. In 1999, he penned a report accusing the
California Highway Patrol of unofficially condoning racial profiling,
but that report, too, was attacked by its targets.

In 2002, Webb attended the DRCNet-sponsored Out from the Shadows drug
legalization conference in Mérida, Mexico, where he signaled his
continuing interest in reporting on drug issues by participating in
the Narco News School of Authentic Journalism and agreeing to for a
time take the helm of the organization itself. But that agreement
proved to be abortive, and Webb soon returned to California and the
state legislature.

"All he ever wanted to do was write," Webb's ex-wife, Susan Bell, told
the Mercury News this week. "He never really recovered from it," she
said, referring to the "Dark Alliance" controversy.

"The guy had a fierce commitment to justice and truth. He cared deeply
about the people who are forgotten, that we try to shove into the dark
recesses of our minds and world," said Tom Dresslar, a spokesman for
the
California attorney general's office who worked with Webb.

On a personal note, I met Gary Webb when he spoke at the Washington,
DC, bookstore where I worked as part of his "Dark Alliance" book tour.
Even with his mainstream journalism career in tatters, Webb radiated
conviction and confidence, along with a keen intellect and a quiet,
friendly persona. We had a chance to speak briefly. I encouraged him
to continue to seek the truth and expose it to the world. He said he
would. And now he is dead by his own hand.

The world can be a tough and lonely place for those who dare to
challenge the powers that be. Gary Webb found out the hard way, but he
kept on struggling until he could take it no more. -- END --

Hung Out to Dry: How Webb's Series Died
studioron@... 16 Dec 2004
In 1997, editors at the San Jose Mercury News pulled the rug out from
under reporter Gary Webb and his investigation of the Reagan-Bush
contra-cocaine scandal, a decision that contributed eight years later
to Webb's suicide. To give readers a fuller understanding of that
journalistic betrayal, we are republishing an account written in 1997
by Georg Hodel, a reporter who was collaborating with Webb on his
historic series.

GARY WEBB - "Dark Alliance" - TRT 60 min.

Journalist Gary Webb broke the story of the CIA-crack connection in a
series of articles for the San Jose Mercury News. The articles were
quickly attacked by the rest of the corporate media, the Mercury News
chickened out and Gary Webb was fired. Luckily, the entire story is
collected in this book. A precise and informative talk.  Dark Alliance
charts the work that began in a stunning series of 1996 articles for
The San Jose Mercury News. Gary Webb won the Pulitzer Prize in 1989
for his series on the Loma Prieta earthquake, and applied the same
tenacity to his investigation of the crack cocaine epidemic, charting
its progress through an international drug ring with ties to the CIA
and the Nicaraguan Contras. A story that should be fiction but is not,
Dark Alliance draws from previously unreleased information so
explosive that The San Jose Mercury News refused to publish it.

Assassination of US Investigative Journalist Gary Webb?

Investigative journalist Gary Webb speaks to a packed house on the
CIA's connection to drug trafficking, and the failure of the media to
expose the truth. by Charles Overbeck
Matrix Editor easterisle@...

When the Nicaraguan contras began to covertly fund their war against
the Sandanistas by selling drugs and guns to California street gangs,
the Central Intelligence Agency turned a blind eye. While black
neighborhoods were being ravaged by the crack cocaine plague, CIA
operatives actively participated in this devastating drug explosion,
protected from prosecution by a secret agreement between the
Department of Justice and the CIA. The bastards knew it was happening,
and they did nothing to stop it. Once again, human rights and human
life took a back seat to "national security" considerations.
Nevertheless, thanks to investigative journalists like Bob Parry and
Gary Webb, the story got out.

Political Assassination in the US: by Kurt Nimmo
Did the CIA kill Gary Webb?
http://globalresearch.ca/articles/NIM412B.html

Write about the CIA and drugs, end up dead. You may recall Webb's 1996
series in the San Jose Mercury about how the CIA sold coke in Los
Angeles and used the money to fund the Nicaraguan Contras in the
1980s. He received a Pulitzer Prize in 1990 for his coverage of the
Loma Prieta earthquake. Even so, he had a difficult time keeping a
job, mostly because editors and publishers are a timid lot these days.

"Webb was found Friday morning at his home in Sacramento County, dead
of an apparent suicide. Moving-company workers called authorities
after discovering a note posted on his front door that read, `Please
do not enter. Call 911 and ask for an ambulance,'" reports the
Associated Press . "Webb died of a gunshot wound to the head,
according to the Sacramento County coroner's office."

A post on the Indybay forum notes: Four Bush biographers, Mark
Lombardi, J.H. Hatfield, Danny Casalaro, and now Gary Webb—all
"suicide" victims. What are the odds all of these people actually
committing suicide?

Examining the male U.S. suicide rate for recent years, we can
extrapolate a conservative estimate of 17 male suicides per 100,000
people, or 0.017%. The odds of 4 specific, male biographers committing
suicide would be the 4th power of 17/100000, or 8.3521 4.913 x 10^-17…
roughly 1 chance 10,000,000,000,000,000. About as good a definition of
impossible as you can get. A person would stand a better chance of
playing the Canadian lottery 6/49 exactly twice in one's lifetime and
winning ther grand jackpot BOTH TIMES! (That is, picking 6 numbers out
of 49 possible numbers and matching all 6 numbers out of 6 random
draws, on 2 separate occasions, and having only purchased two Canadian
lottery tickets ever.) This calculation should be regarded as a
conservative estimate: the actual odds against such a "coincidence"
would be much greater. For example, if any of the biographers were
female, the odds would be even greater.

Now that Bush has his "mandate," we will probably see other critics
fall victim to accidents and suicides. Crime families usually deal
harshly with their enemies—and so does the CIA.

FDA-Approved Medical Marijuana Research Blocked
http://makeashorterlink.com/?T1A726E75

DEA Ruling Renders Approval of MMJ Impossible
The US Drug Enforcement Administration has declined to grant a
Massachusetts University researcher permission to grow medical
marijuana for federally approved research. Advocates for the
legalization of the drug say the ruling has effectively "slammed the
door" on efforts to win the Food and Drug Administration's approval of
marijuana as a medicine.
http://www.cannabisnews.com/news/thread20037.shtml

Up In Smoke: A Setback for Medical Marijuana
Two weeks ago, while hearing arguments in the landmark Supreme Court
case Ashcroft vs. Raich — which by this spring will decide whether
federal agents can arrest medical-marijuana users even in states where
such use is legal — Justice Stephen Breyer questioned the logic of
having a patchwork of disparate state laws. Instead, he suggested,
medical-marijuana proponents would be better off petitioning the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) to reclassify pot as a prescribable
drug. "That seems to be the obvious way to get this done," he said.
"Medicine by regulation is better than medicine by referendum."  Read

"We're disappointed, but we're not surprised," "This simply
illustrates, very clearly, how deep the official prejudice is against
considering that marijuana might be a medicine. In the DEA's letter,
they essentially pass judgment on research that hasn't occurred yet,
saying that the deleterious effect would be too great. Isn't that for
the FDA to judge? But I think in some ways it's probably helpful to
the cause to have that naked prejudice out there in black and white.
It's clear that there's this whole anti-drug bureaucracy that just has
no interest in science."
Bruce Mirken, director of communications for the Marijuana Policy
Project.

No Room To Grow By Eileen McNamara
http://www.cannabisnews.com/news/thread20033.shtml

DEA Rejects Professor's Bid To Grow Marijuana
Lyle Craker, a horticulturist who specializes in medicinal plants, had
won support from both Senators Edward M. Kennedy and John F. Kerry in
his quest to grow marijuana legally. Only one American lab, at the
University of Mississippi, currently has the legal right to grow
marijuana for research, and Craker argued that the Mississippi
marijuana is not strong enough and not readily available to
researchers.

He first applied to the DEA for permission to grow marijuana more than
three years ago. Kennedy and Kerry wrote a letter to the DEA last year
saying that the Mississippi lab had an ''unjustified monopoly."

Craker and a group that wants to fund his work, the Multidisciplinary
Association for Psychedelic Studies, sued the government last summer.
One of their arguments was that the DEA's failure to act on the
application was an ''unreasonable delay."

The US Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., asked the government to
explain its delay, and instead DEA issued a decision last week. In the
decision, DEA said that the University of Mississippi provides
researchers ''marijuana of sufficient quantity and quality to meet all
their legitimate and authorized research needs in a timely manner." It
also argues that an international treaty says the government can allow
only one source for research marijuana.

How John Kerry Exposed The Contra-Cocaine Scandal
The Reagan administration did everything it could to thwart Kerry's
investigation, including attempting to discredit witnesses,
stonewalling the Senate when it requested evidence and assigning the
CIA to monitor Kerry's probe. But it couldn't stop Kerry and his
investigators from discovering the explosive truth: that the Contra
war was permeated with drug traffickers who gave the Contras money,
weapons and equipment in exchange for help in smuggling cocaine into
the United States. Even more damningly, Kerry found that U.S.
government agencies knew about the Contra-drug connection, but turned
a blind eye to the evidence in order to avoid undermining a top
Reagan-Bush foreign policy initiative.

But almost a decade later, in 1998, Kerry's trailblazing investigation
was vindicated by the CIA's own inspector general, who found that
scores of Contra operatives were implicated in the cocaine trade and
that U.S. agencies had looked the other way rather than reveal
information that could have embarrassed the Reagan-Bush
administration.

Even after the CIA's admissions, the national press corps never fully
corrected its earlier dismissive treatment. That would have meant the
New York Times and other leading publications admitting they had
bungled their coverage of one of the worst scandals of the Reagan-Bush
era.

LSD, CIA, & Rumsfeld12 Aug 2002
Scientist's Death Haunts Family
The death in 1953 of a government scientist, Frank Olson, in a fall
from a New York hotel window, is one of the most notorious cases in
CIA history. Only in 1975 did Olson's family learn that the CIA had
slipped LSD into his drink, days before his death. President Ford
apologized for an experiment gone awry, and promised that the
government would reveal everything about the case. But newly obtained
documents show. . .two of the key officials involved in the decision
to withhold that information were White House aides Dick Cheney and
Donald Rumsfeld, today the nation's vice president and secretary of
Defense. Read More at: http://www.cognitiveliberty.org/news/

News From The Laboratory of Donald Rumsfeld
http://www.trufax.org/research/f29.html

Posted by Steven Realo
"... in 1977, Donald Rumsfeld...was hired as the president of G. D.
Searle Laboratories. Searle was then seeking approval of a new
controversial sweetener, which has since become popular as
"Aspartame". Rumsfeld said he could handle aspartame as a "legal,
rather than scientific problem." In 1980, shortly after Reagan came
into power, Rumsfeld was quoted as saying that "he would call in all
of his markers and that no matter what, he would see to it that
aspartame would be approved that year."

Rumsfeld was paid $3.5 million in salary and bonuses between 1979 and
1984.

Cannabis Shrinks Tumors: Government Knew in 74
The Madrid study marks only the second time that THC has been
administered to tumor-bearing animals.  In 1974, researchers at the
Medical College of Virginia, who had been funded by the National
Institutes of Health to find evidence that marijuana damages the
immune system, found instead that THC slowed the growth of three kinds
of cancer in mice -- lung and breast cancer, and a virus-induced
leukemia.

The DEA quickly shut down the Virginia study and all further cannabis/
tumor research, according to Jack Herer, who reports on the events in
his book, The Emperor Wears No Clothes.  In 1976, President Gerald
Ford put an end to all public cannabis research and granted exclusive
research rights to major pharmaceutical companies, who set out --
unsuccessfully -- to develop synthetic forms of THC that would deliver
all the medical benefits without the "high."

Despicable, Unscrupulous
Constitutional Bastardization

The DEAth CIA etc and the sounds of silence killed Gary,
whether they pulled the trigger or not is moot... DdC

Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair have a book out called
"Whiteout" about the relationships of the CIA, the media, and the drug
trade.  In the past few days Cockburn/St.Clair have had three good
articles on Gary Webb and the one yesterday was from Chapter 2 of
their book "Whiteout." Cockburn gave a great display of his knowledge
of the CIA in what I though was a masterpiece of an article a couple
of weeks ago titled "Politicize the CIA?-You've Got to be Kidding!"
http://www.counterpunch.org/cockburn12042004.html

Yesterday they had an extended excerpt from the Cockburn/St. Clair
book that came in two parts and was titled "CounterAttack- How the
Press and the CIA Killed Gary Webb's Career"
http://www.counterpunch.org/webb12172004.html

On December 13th Cockburn and St. Clair presented their article titled
"Trashed by the CIA's Claque-Gary Webb: a Great Reporter"
http://www.counterpunch.org/cockburn12132004.html

This weekend's edition has a Cockburn piece tiitled "From Kobe Bryant
to Uncle Sam Why They Hated Gary Webb"
http://www.counterpunch.org/cockburn12182004.html

On December 14th, Richard Thieme wrote a piece called "That's What
Kept Me Going- My Last Talk with Gary Webb"
http://www.counterpunch.org/thieme12142004.html

On the CIA and the drug trade there is one amazing fact that
challenges all sensibilities- the CIA introduced the opium poppy to
Afganistan. It is in an article at CounterPunch and cites a summary of
Michael Ruppert's words on the subject-
http://www.counterpunch.org/cockburn09012004.html

"Before 1980, Afghanistan produced 0% of the world's opium. But then
the CIA moved in, and by 1986 they were producing 40% of the world's
heroin supply. By 1999, they were churning out 3,200 TONS of heroin a
year – nearly 80% of the total market supply.

Remembering Gary Webb, his bulldog reporting
http://www.cleveland.com/letters/plaindeal...06630237321.xml

Mary Anne Sharkey

Like many of his newspaper friends, I was disappointed that the
obituary on Gary Webb failed to capture his tenacious career in
newspapers, particularly at The Plain Dealer. Webb was one of the
toughest and best investigative reporters in a business that too often
rolls over for those who are in power.

Webb went after doctors, governors, judges, politicians, cabinet
directors and business owners. He was fearless in afflicting the
comfortable. It would be hard to list all of the great stories Webb
wrote, but a partial list would include:

Investigative pieces on the Port Authority and an insurance contract
that led to the indictment of a board member; an examination of the
Ohio State Medical Board and its failure to punish dangerous and
criminal doctors that led to reforms still in place today; the coverup
by Ohio State University of suspicious deaths linked to convicted
serial killer Dr. Michael Swango; self-dealings by doctors who owned
Medicaid HMOs that took huge profits while failing to provide basic
patient care; abuse of power and accepting of suspicious campaign
funds by Ohio Supreme Court members and staff; an exposé of a coverup
of sexual harassment cases in a state agency that led to the
resignation of a Cabinet director; investigations of inflated
contracts for telephones and furniture awarded by state procurement
officers; and a series on abuses in the state mental-health system
(MRDD) that caused another director to resign. Only time will tell if
he was not correct about a link between cocaine traffic and the CIA
that caused him to eventually lose his final newspaper job. But it was
a great privilege to have shared an office and a byline with Gary.

Sharkey and Webb worked in The Plain Dealer's Columbus Bureau in the
1980s.

"...When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably
the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute
Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such
Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
- Thomas Jefferson, in the Declaration of Independence.

It is a moral value to provide health care. It is a moral value to
educate our young people. The sense of community that comes from full
participation in our democracy is a moral value. It is a moral value
to make sure that we do not leave our own debts to be paid by the next
generation. Honesty is a moral value.
- Gov. Howard Dean, M.D.

Morality is always the product of terror;
its chains and strait-waistcoats are fashioned by those
who dare not trust others, because they dare not trust themselves,
to walk in liberty. -- Aldous Huxley

Hello darkness my old friend
I've come to talk to you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left it's seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains, within the sounds of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestones
'Neath a halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night, and touched the sounds of silence

And in the naked light I saw,
Ten thousand people maybe more
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share,
No one dare, disturb the sounds of silence

`Fools', said I `you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my word that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you'
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the well of silence

And people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they'd made
And the sand flashed it's warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, `the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls
And whisper in the sounds of silence'
SOUNDS OF SILENCE Simon & Garfunkle

Power concedes nothing without a demand.
It never did, and it never will.
Find out just what people will submit to,
and you have found out the exact amount of injustice

and these will continue until they are resisted
with either words or blows, or with both.

To the GOPerverts I could concur, the DLC PC hugging trees ain't much

paper sells them leaflets. Hemp has more cellulose but hey that means
no profits on dead forests or protection from the corporate thieves.
While the gin rummy flag jerkers spasm the Iraqi crude oil plastic rw&
b symbol, don't dare look behind it at the crumbling Constitution.
That seems to the DLCrats and GOPervert D.E.A.th addicts it was
written to  protect the life liberty and happiness of all 50,000

sleeze, selling their Sikorskies and Monsanto poison bombs to drop on

On either side of the lunatic fringe, I think we will find oppressive

poisoning their own kids, obedient to their newest weird odor bosses.
Wasting tax money searching for red herrings, always ranting and

If a group would hide tumor research, they would lie about anything.
If a group would set up catch 22 laws that can not be enforced or
obeyed, they would not hesitate to remove certain obstacles. Removing
Gary was a means to an end. From a corporate Mercury News to the rest
who shunned him. The Free Press is officially D.E.A.d. If the
schoolbooks are censored by these same charlatans and History
politicized for the sake of obedience. If the state is in business as
the sole seller of poor quality "marijuana" while outlawing research
and competition, this is Fascism.  Corporate CEO's heading up
government departments legislating incentives to maintain monopolies
from fossil fuels to hemp v cotton, meat, grain, booze and plastic.
Making the 20 or so $billion and more caging non violent citizens. The
same Druggists testing Syphilis without telling the hundreds of
patients. The hardrugs are made with the same corporate paraphernalia
binders and fillers and lab equipment never mentioned as criminal
assessories. Incentives to profit and cleanse the culture of
practicing Americans. The most deceitful and vile of the villains are
working in the government.
Peace, Love and Liberty or the Merchants of DEAth!

Drug Warriors Make Millions Off MarijuanaBy Froma Harrop
CN Source: Providence Journal December 18, 2004
The money in illicit drugs doesn't all go to bad guys carrying AK-47s
and driving BMWs. About $69 billion of it last year went to police,
federal agents, judges, jailers and other drug-law enforcers across
the United States. These are the good guys, but most are not so good
that they will admit that the war on drugs is a waste of money and
lives. The war is how they make a living. Supreme Court Justice
Stephen Breyer wasn't thinking about the billions when he played the
innocent during the recent arguments on medical marijuana.  Read

Hello all. Sorry about the duplicates.

I want to point out some problems that people with Yahoo Groups, or
members of Yahoo Groups, can fix.

My Yahoo Mail did something weird today. When I clicked the "save as
draft" button, it instead sent out my message again to this Yahoo
Group. Sorry.

I thought I had clicked the wrong button, and so I used the back
button, and made sure I clicked the correct button. But Yahoo Mail
did the same thing again. So there is a bug or a hack. I notice this
weirdness off and on with many things.

With my Yahoo Groups I have had to set them all so that all posts are
moderated. To stop the spammers, mistakes, duplicates, spoofed email,
etc..

I suggest that the owner/moderator here do the same thing.

Florida's Journey for Justice
Across Florida the medical marijuana patients marched:  past swamps, rusting
railroad
tracks, shotgun shacks  and hog farms, dodging dogs in small towns booming
  with income from new prisons.

In wheelchairs, cars, recreational vehicles, even a scale  model jail cell towed
on a
donated trailer, the Journey for Justice med-pot caravan sojourned two hundred
miles in
seven days of northern Florida springtime.

Thousands of bemused but friendly Floridians, in rural towns, or driving by on
two lane
roads, saw activist Kay Lee, wearing a striped prisoner's uniform, walking miles
for
justice. They saw Eddie Smith, a cancer and AIDS survivor, wheeling down the
grassy
roadside in sheets of blinding rain.

Thread: 74% of Ann Arbor Voters Called Invalid...
Ann Arbor Police Chief Dan (Anslinger) Oates said in a written statement he has
directed his officers to continue enforcement of all marijuana sale and
possession
offenses as they did before the vote. Oates' decision came after City Attorney
Stephen
(Jim Crow) Postema said Wednesday that Ann Arbor's new medical marijuana
initiative is
invalid. Although the initiative was legally and appropriately placed on the
ballot
after a petition drive, Postema said 27-year-old case law dictates that city
officials
can refer complaints for prosecution under state law even though it would be
contrary
to the city's new charter language... snip

... "But the citizens of Ann Arbor have spoken just as clearly,"  "And people
who would
like to be employed by the city should either listen to the voice of the people
when

At Least 17 of 20 Marijuana Initiatives Pass. Montana Becomes 10th Medical Marijuana State

WASHINGTON -- November 3 -- Proposals to reform marijuana laws racked up record-setting vote totals across the country Tuesday, leaving reformers cheering despite a few setbacks.

Montana voters approved a medical marijuana measure, Initiative 148, by an overwhelming 62% to 38%, eclipsing the previous record for any state's first vote on a medical marijuana initiative, the 61% support received by a medical marijuana measure in Maine in 1999.

In Alaska, Measure 2 scored the highest vote percentage ever achieved by a statewide proposal to abolish marijuana prohibition entirely and replace it with a system of regulation. With 43% of the vote, Measure 2 outpolled previous attempts in Alaska, Nevada, California, and Oregon -- none of which received more than 41% of the vote.

Efforts to replace prohibition with regulation got a huge boost from Oakland voters, who approved Measure Z by 64% to 36%. The measure commits the city of Oakland to supporting the taxation and regulation of marijuana in California and makes personal marijuana offenses the lowest priority for Oakland law enforcement.

In Ann Arbor, Michigan, voters overwhelmingly passed a local medical marijuana initiative, Measure C, 74% to 26%. In August, Detroit voters passed a similar measure by a 60% to 40% margin.

Voters in Columbia, Missouri, gave big wins to two separate reforms: A medical marijuana proposal, Proposition 1, passed by 69% to 31%; and Proposition 2, which replaces jail time with a maximum $250 fine for marijuana possession, also received a solid endorsement with 61% of the vote.

With advocates gearing up to lobby for medical marijuana bills in legislatures around the country next year, Vermont voters showed officeholders the danger of opposing such reforms. Vermonters handed stunning defeats to three leading opponents of that state's medical marijuana law-passed by the legislature earlier this year after a
contentious, three-year battle. MPP, which led the campaign to pass the law, funded an extensive grassroots campaign aimed primarily at defeating legislators who opposed the measure and backing those who had supported it. The campaign included voter identification, direct mail, and an aggressive get-out-the-vote effort staffed by a large network of in-state volunteers.

State Rep. Spike Robinson (R-Chittenden 4) lost to Democratic challenger Denise Barnard, 57% to 43%; Rep. Ruth Towne (R-Washington 3-3) was upset by Democrat Steve Green, 52% to 48%; and Rep. Nancy Sheltra (R-Orleans 1) lost her seat to Progressive Winston Dowland by 14 votes. The results shifted control of the Vermont House of Representatives to the Democrats-viewed by medical marijuana supporters as a positive development due to the unrelenting hostility of the House GOP leadership during last year's session.

MPP also supported two incumbents whose seats were in jeopardy: State Reps. Floyd Nease (D-Lamoille 3) and Steven Maier (D-Addison 1), both of whom won reelection by comfortable margins.

Massachusetts voters passed 12 of 12 advisory referenda on marijuana policy reform: five in support of medical marijuana, six in support of making marijuana a civil offense similar to a traffic ticket, and one in support of taxing and regulating marijuana.

Two of Tuesday's results were disappointing to reformers. Oregon voters defeated Measure 33, which would have allowed state-regulated medical marijuana dispensaries and increased the amount of medical marijuana patients may possess. In Berkeley, California, uncertainty remained about Measure R, which would facilitate the establishment of medical marijuana dispensaries. As of Wednesday morning the measure was trailing narrowly, but with enough absentee ballots still left to
be counted to put the measure over the top.

"Election Day was a great day for marijuana policy reform," said Rob Kampia, executive director of MPP. "The passage of the initiative in Montana makes it the 10th state to allow patients to use, possess, and grow their own marijuana for medical purposes. Voters in at least 16 of 17 cities or districts passed medical marijuana or broader
marijuana policy reform measures. And we wrested control of the Vermont House of Representatives from the Republicans, who watered down and nearly killed our medical marijuana bill earlier this year," referring to the Vermont medical marijuana law.

The 10 states that have medical marijuana laws are Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington.

"Other than in Alaska, the only other marijuana policy reform measures to be defeated were in Oregon and possibly Berkeley, and both of those initiatives would have radically expanded already- existing medical marijuana laws by authorizing the sale of marijuana," said Kampia. "The lesson of Election Day is that moderate medical
marijuana initiatives on the local and state levels always pass, local initiatives to roll back penalties for recreational marijuana users were also universally passed, and we just broke the all-time record of support for any statewide measure to end marijuana prohibition," he said, referring to the Alaska initiative.

MPP spent more than $2,000,000 on the Alaska, Montana, and Oregon initiative campaigns, as well as providing more than $200,000 to activists who ran the local initiative campaigns in California, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Missouri.

With more than 17,000 members and 157,000 e-mail subscribers nationwide, the Marijuana Policy Project is the largest marijuana policy reform organization in the United States.

To all Khristzion Ganjawar Junkies

Dear twisted geeeezus freak babykiller poison pusher without a clue as to why
the
Ganjawar exists. You abort more pregnancies with your 90 million pounds of herb
and
pesticides on the cotton clothes you hawk in your wallmarts. You spray those
poisons
but not all of it stays on the crop. Much of it runs off, and you bible thumping
midgetbrained chickenhawk bitches think its just an act of God, so forgetabout
it. Its
the right wing anti-conservative fortune 700 club naziphucks kids having the
abortions.
Too afraid of their murdering for Pat&Jer Op rescue parents to discuss condoms.
Proper
obedience given to the male head of the house, even if its the family minivan.
Lying
spoiled isolationists merkin fascists cheerleaders.

Now lets talk about the abortions from those agent orange bombs or the smart
bombs
hitting infrastructures or depleted uranium poisoning for what? Oil, fucking oil
in
Colombia, Thailand Vietnam or Iraq. Veggie oil grown by farmers works for me,
hemp
takes little or no chemicals but because of reefer mad idiot s like you keeping
the
stigma alive with your cheech and chong generalizations about Ganja. Profits on
poisoning and profits on treating the poisons with even more chemicals from the
drug
store you boot licking anti American coward!

Now how about the needle exchanges you wod junkie fothermuckers cry about and
close
down? How many abortions or new Hep C or AIDs babies you create with your
Ganjawar. Ass
assassins! Those christinsanely sodomized in juvi prison or as adults to live
with that
trauma cause they grew some marijuana? How sick are you to profit on such
misery.

The pollution Ganja protects against aborts more, you can wimply call
miscarriage but
its the same thing. You whine about the environmental protection and the
environmentals
whine about you while both avoid the reality that hemp makes stronger wood
products and
paper without the bleaches and replaces many of the pesticides and chemicals as
a
border crop. But cause of naive twit's spreading gossip to either make a
paycheck or
just plain ignorance, are worse than Hitler or Polpot. They only murdered
millions. You
assist in the poisoning and treatment cycle. With only Ganja/hemp as a natural
competition and answer to the problem you aren't even aware of. You suck it up
and do
what your told and cry about Fauxnews red herrings until your tired and pass
out, then
get up  and go to work, come home and do it over. While you spray the
cockroaches
scurrying behind the lead based paint your rug rat just ate. You synthetic
degenerate
pushing your cardboard foods on nationwide tv for decades and now wonder why
obesity
and heart disease is epidemic? With again Ganja as much an appetite regulator to
decrease the cravings as it does to increase them for wasting syndrome patients.

The hempseed is the most nutritionally complete food on the planet and you
poison it as
a Ganjawar statistic and instead settle for grain to feed the cows, and more
millions
of pounds of abortion causing babykilling generic DDT. Spread in the dirt kids
play in
and in the water pregnant mommas drink and bath their babies in. Housing
materials
carpets and textiles without the poisons is somehow wrong to you Ganja phobic
chickenlillies.

So many medical discoveries hidden from the public, that alone should piss off
every
single red blooded American. Especially the families who lost loved ones when a
possible remedy existed but for nothing more than greed and politicks was
suppressed by
the very same government... and many of the very same scum of the earth in
office now.
So I can say with no regrets that doing nothing at all is a sin, but purposely
standing
in the way of Ganja truth is a mortal sin. May your God have Mercy on your soul,
when
its located.

So since the Archeologists, not theory-ologists discovered the ancient temple
incensors
to have trace amounts of hashish one doesn't have much of a leap of faith to
consider
the fact that Jesus and Moses inhaled and who am I to argue with their wisdom?
So
Sacramental Ganja is food, fuel, fiber and FARMaceuticals including preventing
illness.
An alternative to the fossil fools poisons and cardboard foods. Alternative to
chopping
down rain forest or old growth or clearcutting anything. Alternative to strip
mining
mountaintops when hemp fiberboard is more dent resistant than sheet metal we
import.
How many natural products is only limited by the imagination. Products grown in
Canada
but DEAth threat deterrents to Mexico?   One might not feel the need to
illegally cross
the border with a cash crop staple in their backyards. How many more years will
you
assist this bloody fascism, will be determined by how fast the people start
seeing
things for themselves and not accepting unbelievable things cause some Enron
Anderson
Worldcom ethics committee or DEAth monger said so... Though some will probably
never
get it and many will bury their heads to keep the paycheck.

So Wise up junior missy, your cannibalizing the country jerking that Iraqi crude
oil
blue, white and redneck banner for Bushit, converted to plastic in China then
sewn by
kids in Thailand sweatshops. So Ganja phobes can spastically show the world
their
behind the Imperialists jagoffs out sourcing their pollution and greed and near
is the
end of capitalism as we know it. Killed by you Fascists sluts. Volunteer slave
sheople
who won't even see the dividends but you follow and vote for these International
Corporatists  without allegiance to any one country. Sucker born every minute,
except
the herds by the second informing themselves on Fauxnews and stupid human
tricks.
Bring it on wod junkies!

How John Kerry Exposed The Contra-Cocaine Scandal By Robert Parry
Source: Salon Magazine October 25, 2004
Derided by the mainstream press and taking on Reagan at the height of his
popularity,
the freshman senator battled to reveal one of America's ugliest foreign policy
secrets.
In December 1985, when Brian Barger and I wrote a groundbreaking story for the
Associated Press about Nicaraguan Contra rebels smuggling cocaine into the
United
States, one U.S. senator put his political career on the line to follow up on
our
disturbing findings. His name was John Kerry.

Ultimate Hypocrisy
While waging its self-styled “War on Drugs” against Third World peasants and
American
civilians, the Reagan/Bush/Quayle/Clinton/Gore administrations (1981-1999) have
encouraged and covered up drug smuggling and distribution by high ranking
officials of
the U.S. government.

On one hand, Bush violated international law by invading Panama to bring reputed
drug
smuggler and long-time Bush/CIA employee Manuel Noriega to the U.S. to stand
trial.

On the other hand, he refused to extradite Oliver North, John Hull, Admiral
Poindexter,
General Secord, Lewis Tambs, and other Americans to Costa Rica, where they are
under
indictment by that government for operating a drug smuggling operation there.

(The Guardian, British newspaper, “Cocaine shipped by contra network”, July 22,
1989.)

Federal hearings conducted by U.S. Senator John Kerry’s (MA) Subcommittee on
Terrorism
and Narcotics in 1988 and 1989 documented widespread acts by the CIA and
National
Security Agency (NSA) to block investigations by the Customs Department and FBI
into
cocaine smuggling by “intelligence operatives” under the guise of national
security. No
indictments were ever handed down, and witnesses testified under grants of
immunity
with little media attention.

Special Iran-Contra investigators failed to act on this information or evidence
developed by the Christic Institute implicating government complicity in
narco-terrorism. And when General Secord was convicted in January 1990 for
crimes
related to the Iran Contra drugs-for-arms scandal, he was given a fine of $50
and a
brief probation when a federal judge decided that the poor fellow had already
“suffered
enough”.

This from an administration that promotes the death penalty—even beheading —for
marijuana dealers.*

* On the Larry King Show in late 1989, then drug czar William Bennett, a
possible
Republican presidential candidate in 2000, said he had no moral problems with
beheading
drug dealers … only legal ones.

Break down of the law
by Reverend Damuzi (01 Mar, 1999)

Canadian cops are smashing down doors,
shooting people and pets for handfuls of herb

Grenadiers blast fist-sized bombs through windows. Soldiers in unmarked, black
uniforms
swarm through the shards of a battered door, shooting people on reflex. This may
be
customary on the battlefield, but in your own home it's an Orwellian nightmare.
This is
the War on Drugs, in which police officers have been replaced by SWAT teams.
And, like
any army, SWAT teams run the percentages. If you look like the enemy, you are
the
enemy. If you are holding something in your hand, it is likely a weapon, and so
you
will be shot. Regular police officers, affected by the SWAT mentality, are  also
carrying heavier weapons and a lighter concern for human life.

The Scythians, High Plains Drifters
The Scythians were a barbaric group of pre-Common Era nomadic tribes who are a
fascinating example of an ancient cannabis using group. The Scythians played a
very
important part in the Ancient World from the seventh to first century BC. They
were
expert horsemen, and were one of the earliest peoples to master the art of
riding and
using horse-drawn covered wagons. This early high mobility is probably why most
scholars credit them with the spread of cannabis knowledge throughout the
ancient
world. Indeed, the Scythian people travelled and settled extensively throughout
Europe,
the Mediterranean, Central Asia, and Russia, bringing their knowledge of the
spiritual
and practical uses for cannabis with them. . .

Mellowing with Time
It could well be that in later times the cannabis smoke had somewhat mellowed
the
Scythians, and their spiritual leaders directed them towards becoming a more
civilized
people. The ancient Greek historian Ephorus wrote in the fourth century BC that
the
Scythians 'feed on mares milk and excel all men in justice'. His comments were
followed
in the first century BC by Strabo, who wrote that 'we regard the Scythians as
the most
just of men and the least prone to mischief, as also far more frugal and
independent of
others than we are.'

God & The Presidency: An In-Depth Examination Of Faith In The Bush White House

Journalist Ron Suskind examines how Bush's belief in God has impacted his
presidency,
how some of Bush's supporters believe he is an instrument of God and the growing
concern among many non-Evangelical Republicans. One former Reagan/Bush official
says,
"Just in the past few months. I think a light has gone off for people who've
spent time
up close to Bush: that this instinct he's always talking about is this sort of
weird,
Messianic idea of what he thinks God has told him to do." We also speak with
Esther
Kaplan author of the new book, "With God On Their Side: How Christian
Fundamentalists
Trampled Science, Policy, and Democracy in George W. Bush's White House."
