[bush-nyc] DEMONSTRATOR HELD IN $5000 BAIL ON PHONY "WEAPONS" CHARGES

 

DEMONSTRATOR HELD IN $5000 BAIL ON PHONY "WEAPONS" CHARGES

Geoffrey Blank, 28, of the No Police State Coalition, was arrested
outside the pens of the ANSWER-led demonstration of Sunday, September
28, 2003.

An NYPD detail seemingly commanded by a supervising officer bearing the

name-tag "Shmulka" singled out and surrounded Mr. Blank, who was
beating a drum improvised from an empty two-gallon plastic container.
The police alleged that the approximately 8-inch (~12.32 cm)
thumb-thickness sticks used to beat the drum were "illegal weapons,"
and proceeded to confiscate the container and sticks.

They also began to search through Mr. Blank's knapsack and pockets,
citing a "bulge" apparently invisible not wearing a badge.

About 20 minutes after the arrest, which occurred shortly before
5:00pm, NYPD officers told National Lawyers' Guild Mass Defense
Committee attorney Bruce Bentley that Mr. Blank would be taken to the
17th Precinct. There he supposedly would be charged with disorderly
conduct and resisting arrest, and released with a Desk Appearannce
Ticket if he had sufficient ID and was clean of warrants.

Within the next half hour, the story suddenly changed.  "Weapons"
charges were imposed, along wi th "attempted grand larceny".  The
specific allegations shifted.  Mr. Blank now had supposedly attempted
to grab a pistol from a cop's holster!

Observers noted that if that really had been the case, Mr. Blank would

have been immediately subjected to a beating if not shooting,  and
"larceny", which usually refers to robbery without violence would have
been trumped up much higher.

One paralegal on the scene commented that if Mr. Blank, surrounded by
at least half a dozen cops, had attempted any such thing, he should be
immediately declared innocent based on insanity.  Certainly, such a
gesture would express a suicidal tendency.  Friends and relatives of
Mr. Blank said that such an act would be completely out of character
for him.

Eyewitnesses on the scene saw no such incident.  They saw Mr. Blank
wrestled to the ground by multiple cops and carted off into a van,
after taking away his sticks and drum.  That is also the observation of
Free Speech Television (FSTV) workers on the scene, who videotaped the
arrest and uploaded it for live satellite broadcast around the world.

Apparently, the police wanted to allege "weapons possession" based on
the drum sticks, but realizing it would not fly in court, switched over
into the allegations about trying to take a cop's gun.  With such a

story, they were able to incite the prosecutors to demand $25,000 bail,
and manipulate Judge Weinberg at 100 Centre Street to impose $5,000.

The state and its agents and employees are raising the stakes to deter
Mr. Blank, arrested for constitutionally-protected protest activities
multiple times in the last six months, as well as set an example that
intimidates activists and the potential activists in the entire

population.

No Police State members have vowed that the establishment will pay for
the latest illegal orders given to the police, as well as cops who on
their own abuse their authority to violate people's rights.  They will
be sued for illegal damages inflicted and punitive damages for their
criminal intent, and pressure will mount to prosecute them for the
assaults and kidnappings which these illegal arrests amount to.

For further information about how you can get involved, or contribute

to Mr. Blank's bail fund, you can email me: meyersjoel@... .

We treated a low dose methadone/high dose methamphetamine user.  The patient
was using 20mg/day of methadone and shooting more than 1 gram a day of
methamphetamine.  Methamphetamine use was discontinued 48 hours prior to
administration according to the patient.  The patient in some ways presented a
unique
profile.  I believe this was due to the possible raising of brain levels of
amphetamine by ibogaine that is reported by glick in one of his papers as per
his
rats.  The patient responded normally and three or four hours into the
experience suddenly got out of bed and stated she wanted to go to the beach.
Well, we
were indulgent providers and drove to a beach about ten miles away.  She

walked around for about 45 minutes and stated she wanted to return to her bed
and
thereafter had a rather normal experience, that is flat on her back.  Two days
later the patient was completely refreshed and amazed she felt as good as she
did with no withdrawal from or desire to use methadone.  However, this is only
one patient so don't base expected results on this single description.

Brain Res. 1992 Aug 14;588(1):173-6.

Differential effects of ibogaine pretreatment on brain levels of morphine and

(+)-amphetamine.

Glick SD, Gallagher CA, Hough LB, Rossman KL, Maisonneuve IM.

Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Albany Medical College, NY 122208.

Previous studies in rats have shown that ibogaine inhibits neurochemical and

behavioral effects of morphine yet potentiates similar effects of
(+)-amphetamine. To assess whether these different functional interactions have
a
metabolic basis, brain levels of morphine and (+)-amphetamine were measured by

gas
chromatography-mass spectrometry after ibogaine pretreatment (19 h before
injection of morphine or (+)-amphetamine). Ibogaine pretreatment had no effect
on
brain morphine levels, either at 30 min or 2 h after morphine injection;
however,
ibogaine significantly increased brain amphetamine levels at 30 min and, to a
greater extent, at 2 h after (+)-amphetamine injection. These and other data
suggest that ibogaine irreversibly inhibits an amphetamine-metabolizing
enzyme. The functional interactions between ibogaine and (+)-amphetamine, but
not
those between ibogaine and morphine, may result from a hepatic drug-drug
interaction.

[ibogaine] aftercare......

                           Over the years i began to see a pattern with people coming for addiction interruption sessions.  And so as a result, during the last years, usually during our first phone conversation, i often ask people if physical and/or emotional abandonement from the same sex parent was a pattern, because at least for me in more than 9 out of 10 people it is an issue.  However, if a person is about 45 years old or older i won't present the issue in the same way because it is more difficult to find the characteristics necessary in a same sex therapist for healing, and older people need to move through layers of their process using different tools.  I always tell a person from the onset that the ibogaine treatment is half of the equation and what you do with your life especially during the immediate months after the session is the other half.  For people in their younger years, a most precious component is to find a same sex therapist they admire and respect, so that by the time the metabolite washes out of the receptors from the ibogaine session they have healed the issues which created the addictive tendency, by exploring the full range of emotions which heals and fills the hole which was attempted to be filled by the substance of choice.

                             During the last 3 years we have had 15 people mostly women in their 20's relocate immediately after their ibogaine session, all chronic relapsers with multiple overdosings, in and out of rehab and detox units.  You get the picture.  We haven't had any opiate relapses.  We have had a couple of crack binges and a couple of continuous alcohol users.  More often there has been, over a couple of year period, a shedding of nicotine and pot as well.  I attribute this to the immediate introduction of a transpersonal therapist located here where we live into their lives.  She has the capacity to cut through personal history in a very short time, and of course to help explore the depths of the abandonment issue.  To be merely confortable with a therapist doesn't work.  It's sometimes appropriate, but if this all that is being experienced then therapy is not happening. There needs to be a range of emotions, from anger and intimidation to comfort and trust explored which happens only when there is a genuine repect and admiration felt for the therapist.  And the fact is, or this is the way i see it, which makes it so challenging for addicts to find this person is many fold.  They lack trust and they are more sensitive and intelligent than most of the therapists available.
                             So after conducting over 450 sessions it is clear that addicts are more sensitive and intelligent.  And so the other component for a lot of people who come to me is that they need more in their lives than to fulfill the American dream of lovely home, nice family and a good job.  They need to spiritualize the mundane, i.e. access causeless joy .  There's a spiritual approach stripped of belief and trappings which is the essence of all mystery school teachings.  There are a few books and teachers which help cut through identification with the thought stream and emotions, which in combination with ibogaine and therapy creates a most wholistic condition to emerge.  This is where Its at now..This is the understanding so far.

                                                                                     Thanks for listening,
                                                                                                                  Eric

[ibogaine] is ayahuasca shortly after ibogaine OK?

Has anyone here (or anyone you know) tried ayahuasca
within a month after doing iboga/ibogaine?  Since
nor-ibogaine sets up shop in your body for quite a
while, could this cause problems if you subsequently
take ayahuasca, or could it make you more sensitive to
it?

Has anyone tried any other psychedelic within a short
time after using ibogaine, and if so did it affect you
differently than when you used it pre-ibogaine?

In October I'm planning to do about half a gram of

ibogaine to clean out my system and kick caffeine
(again) before I go to Peru in November on an
ayahuasca retreat.

Originally I was going to do a full dose (1 gram or
more) of ibogaine, then next year sometime go on an
ayahuasca retreat.  It seems to make more sense to me
to take ibogaine to deal with personal issues, then go
into the more alien/transpersonal ayahuasca realms.
However, two of my friends are going in November so
now I'm planning to do the ayahuasca first, then
perhaps next spring trying a full dose of ibogaine.

A related question: I've heard both ayahuasca and
ibogaine are used to deal with addiction issues, and
also for personal growth and spiritual purposes.  If
anyone has experience with both, how would you compare
and contrast them?

Re: [ibogaine] Article on ibogaine in UK National Newspaper "The Guardian"

The following article was good to read and also to know that knowledge of ibogaine is hopefully growing.  It seems daft to me that search of improvement in drug treatment can be so closed minded when it costs so much money to support methadone clinics etc. if there is an alternative.   It just adds scepticism to the mass of propoganda we get fed every day. 
Also I was wondering about the theory that we humans only use a small part of available brain or thought process.  Does the ibogaine open up parts of the mind that we are not aware of but are unused or part of the subconscious.    ......Allison

Eleanore Kennedy: $1,000 Prk Vu, Dinner and Wine Included




September 18, 2003
By CHRISTOPHER MASON






"THE dog just ate my shoe," Eleanore Kennedy told John
Loring, the patrician design director of Tiffany & Company,
as he arrived at her 23rd floor apartment at Hampshire
House, on Central Park South, on Monday afternoon. He had
come to put finishing touches on decorations for the dinner
party she was giving that night for nine guests, including
Sigourney Weaver and Bianca Jagger.

A chewed-up shoe was the least of Mrs. Kennedy's problems.
How about organizing what had swelled to 160 fetes in one
night? Moguls, movie stars, politicians and plain old
Central Park-loving billionaires were converging for
$1,000-a-head repasts that would turn the park itself into
a dinner table - an upscale version of Leonard's of Great
Neck, the Long Island banqueting palace.

It was Mrs. Kennedy who had come up with the idea of
holding dinner parties at apartments with views of Central
Park (and Cai Guo-Qiang's light show over the reservoir) to
raise money for the Central Park Conservancy. But the real
feast would be on the views inside the hosts' lavish homes.


Troubling news arrived at 4:15 p.m., when Mrs. Kennedy got
word about the eagerly anticipated dinner party scheduled
to take place at Bill Clinton's office in Harlem, with its
splendid view of Central Park. Not only was Mr. Clinton
detained in California and unable to attend, but now, she
was told, everyone had to be out by 9 p.m., which meant
that Star Jones, Representative Charles B. Rangel and the
Manhattan borough president, C. Virginia Fields, were to be
sent packing, Cinderella-like, at an hour when most good
parties would just be shifting into second gear.

Was she planning to intervene on the conservancy's behalf?
"I'm up to my ears in gardenias right now," Mrs. Kennedy
said with a sigh. "I'm not going to start tracking down
Hillary Clinton."

Downstairs, on the 19th floor, Baroness Mariuccia
Zerilli-Marimr, the founder of the Casa Italiana
Zerilli-Marimr, the center for Italian studies at New York

University, discussed the lobster and Champagne risotto
with the caterers from Acquolina before dashing off to Mass
at the United Nations, where she is a member of the
Permanent Observer Mission of the Holy See. She had never
met most of the people who had booked space at her three
tables. "I couldn't ask my friends to pay $1,000," Baroness
Zerilli-Marimr said. "So I'm meeting very nice people who
are surely nice because they help the park."

Others were understandably cautious about inviting
strangers into their art-filled homes. Eliot L. Spitzer,
the New York State attorney general, was giving a dinner
with his wife, Silda Wall Spitzer, in their Fifth Avenue
apartment. But white collar criminals under threat of
indictment who hoped to cozy up to the attorney general
over fireworks, Champagne and supper catered by "21" were
out of luck. The presumably felon-free soiree was open only
to friends of the Spitzers.

At 6:30 p.m., a Party Rental truck festooned with pink
hippopotamuses was double-parked outside 1040 Fifth Avenue,
and florists, caterers and party designers were scurrying
to put last-minute touches on the five benefit parties
being held there.

In the penthouse, Tina Flaherty was trying to switch from
Scott Joplin to music befitting a dinner catered by La
Grenouille. "We've got French food and French flowers,"
Mrs. Flaherty told her husband, William E. Flaherty. "Put
on the Aznavour."

While Charles Aznavour was thanking heaven for little girls
in the penthouse, bird song was being piped throughout the
15th-floor apartment of Julia Koch and David Koch, the
investor, an apartment that had formerly belonged to
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and had undergone two years of
multimillion-dollar renovations. It was one of the hottest
tickets in town.

Guests entered an Egyptian-themed hallway with a pair of
enormous, second-century marble statues of Isis and
Antinous excavated from Hadrian's Villa; waiters offered
drinks on silver trays. Off the drawing room, guests on the

slender terrace admired the views of the reservoir and the
Temple of Dendur. The most spectacular sight of the
evening, however, was the dining room: a sylvan paradise
conjured up by the designer John Christensen, who had laid
a green English raffia carpet, to simulate grass, over the
polished wooden floors; swathed the entire room in a
whimsical tent of yellow and white organza; and hung
hand-painted lime-green and yellow silk butterflies from
branches of wildly out-of-season apple blossoms suspended
from the ceiling.

On the 16th floor, the actress Candice Bergen and her
husband, Marshall Rose, a real estate developer, were
poised in that tense moment just before the first of their
16 guests (including Bette Midler and Tom Brokaw) were to
arrive. Ms. Bergen had a moment of panic at 7 p.m., when
the doorman announced that Liz Smith, the syndicated
columnist, was downstairs.

"Oh, dear," Ms. Bergen said, excusing herself for a minute.
"I haven't put my shoes on."

On Friday afternoon, Norma Dana, one of the two chairwomen
of the event, was asked what the weather was going to be
like on Monday. "Perfect," Mrs. Dana said, in
a tone that brooked no dissent.

Mother Nature was not so obliging. At the InterContinental
Central Park South, Mrs. Dana's party was swarming with
baronesses from the Garden Club of Bavaria when, at 7:45
p.m., the skies opened for a torrential downpour.

"Great! I love it!" said Dr. Maria Theresia von
Wietersheim, visiting from Munich, as she stood in the
pouring rain watching the fireworks. Noelle Nikpour, a
member of the Central Park Conservancy from Arkansas who
was watching safely from behind glass, said that she had
flown from Little Rock on her Gulfstream IV to attend the
party.

Wasn't that a long way to come to watch 4 minutes and 30
seconds of fireworks?

"Once my pilots are fired up, we go 500 miles an hour," she
explained, cheerfully, "so I'm here in an hour and 45
minutes."

Was that faster than flying commercial?

"I don't really know," Ms. Nikpour replied, sweetly.

By
8:30 p.m., celebrities were sitting down to eat at the

Mandarin Oriental Hotel, still under construction in the
AOL Time Warner Center on Columbus Circle. The dinner was
being underwritten by Steve Ross, the chairman of Related
Companies, the developer of the building. Lorraine Bracco
and Stanley Tucci - so memorably naked on a Broadway stage
together last year - sat fully clothed, and surrounded by
Robert Duvall, Michael Caine and Will Farrell of "Saturday
Night Live."

The guests in Harlem were honoring the 9 p.m. curfew
imposed by Mr. Clinton's staff - despite much good-natured
pleading from Sherry Bronfman, who gave the dinner with
Robin Bell-Stevens, the new executive director of
Jazzmobile. Nevertheless, Ms. Bronfman declared the evening
a success. "It was beautiful, and very romantic," she said
the next day, "with lots of flowers and votive candles,
white wine and green-apple martinis. "We were not pushed
out," she insisted, diplomatically. "The evening petered
out and it was graceful."

It was 10:30 on a school night, but at Hampshire House the
party at Eleanore and Michael Kennedy's apartment was still
in full swing, with Sigourney Weaver and Bianca Jagger
sitting side by side. Julian H. Robertson Jr., the
philanthropist, who lives in the former Alice Tully
apartment on the 27th floor, had already bid his 30 guests
adieu.

"Wasn't that the worst thing you ever saw?" Mr. Robertson
asked departing dinner guests, firmly clutching his dog's
leash. Like many people, he was dismayed that the
much-touted halo of fire that was to linger a thousand feet
above the reservoir had fizzled into a haze of black smoke.


Was Mr. Robertson, who with his wife, Josie, had
contributed at least $4 million to redo the pond at the
southern end of Central Park, planning to walk his dog
there now?
"No," Mr. Robertson said, a
bit petulantly. "I'm so disappointed in the park this
evening, we're avoiding it."

That's because H.T. is ultimately run by folks who are drug lawyers, not drug users.

Hi Alison,

Dan Pinchbeck, the writer, and a guy called Steve have also
shot a documentary on the drug and are trying to get media
interest. Following the piece in The Guardian I heard that

Channel 4 might be interested, which would be great, though
they've been busy with ibogaine before without actually doing
anything in the end. There's also Dan's book, called Breaking
Open the Head, or something like that, just published. Has
anyone read it yet? Is it good?

Well things kind of spaaaaaaaaace out a bit when you start to
move from "the mind is in the head" (rational materialism)
to "where actually IS the mind", (psychoactive use
commences!) so our science can't really go there
meaningfully. At the end of the day the mind only imagines it
has an owner anyway!

> PS  Is ibogaine legal in the
UK???

Legal to take, pretty much, though currently still threatened
with control under new legislation to curb casual use of
herbal remedies believed to be dangerous. Not legal to
supply, being a recognized psychoactive substance.

[ibogaine] Ah--but it's not about pot...

It's about legalization. Ibogaine IS illegal, y'know. Ethan Nadelman runs the Drug Policy Alliance, which is mainly about legalizing heroin and promoting methadone/buprenorphin.  Not legalizing pot so much-- maybe medical marijuana. The big mystery is why they're stand-offish toward ibo, when in theory they're for legalizing psychedelics. (Big MDMA supporters, they are).

Getting this little panel represents a big development with them, but it'll be at the same time as twelve other panels. It's not one of the plenary presentations.

Re: [ibogaine] The irony of it....



I understand that you guys are mostly joking here
between yourselves. What I wanted to bring up is that
after years of reading this from the outside it
doesn't make any more sense to me now then it did back
then. I am in no way putting down the cannabis
movement, I am only saying that I don't understand
what all the problems between all of you are or why
they're so big that you look like you spend a lot of
your time and energy fighting each other instead of
agreeing to do something.

The problem is that they've been ignoring ibo, so I had to do a little protest at their conference 2 years ago, which produced a commitment from Ethan to do this workshop. Ethan works for Soros, BTW.

I do understand that a lot of you have relationships
that have nothing to do with the list and a lot
happens in the background but for instance I liked the
libertarian party blog when I first heard about it,
but I understand exactly zilch about who any of the
involved people are, why Patrick is spending his time
rewriting what Dana Beal meant to say or why so many
people link to this one blog which is a great letter
but why why why is so much time spent with all the
factions of the cannabis movement which I admit I do
not understand as I said when I started this message,
fighting about??

http://billstclair.com/blog/020723.html
http://billstclair.com/blog/stories/ibogaine.html

I am in no way putting down any of the positive things
anyone does. I am only saying that the internal
politics of the cannabis reform movement make
absolutely no sense to anybody except all of you who
are involved with it and I guess Patrick who is
rewriting who meant to say what ;-) And that is not a
dis! You realy should run for office Patrick ;-)

The thing is, the biggest portion of the legalization movement is grassroots cannabis activists, most of whom by now know about and support ibo. Thanks to the efforts of yours truly, for which I took a lot of shit, largely cause I ran into nn initial gatekeeper at H.T. (Dean Latimer) whose reaction to ibo was "Why would anyone want to quit heroin." (He was their house opiate afficianado--most of the rest of them being into pot and coke.)

 

I don't know who Ethan is, who Keith Stroup is


Head of NORML--very down on the association of pot with LSD. (But he lost his job in 1978 because of coke). Says Ibogaine is crazy,  and tries to discredit the idea of activists promoting ibo as a way of protecting  the counter-cultural opposition from going down the vortex of addiction.

who the
Kennedys are,

Big players in both the DPA and NORML--plus they have the money and contacts that could have moved Ibo forward thru clinical trials anytime they really tried. Keep in mind that the second article about Lotsof and his discovery to appear in the whole world was written by Steve Hager of High Times. (The first was in the Yippie paper OVERTHROW.)

 who Steve Bloom is,

Once refused to fund a mailing because it would also contain something on ibo...

 who anybody
mentioned in these messages is other then some people
involved with selling pot, selling pot magazines or
??????
Carla B

 But H.T., as I said, was not intended by its founder Tom Forcade to be a pot magazine, and that's what the argument is about. Hager became editor-in-chief & turned it into one two or three years  after that initial ibo article. (Which was an improvement on centerfolds of coke). In the past 10 years they've kinda stopped writing about ibo, cause DPA, NORML and the Kennedys circled the wagons in support of the status quo, which included methadone, clean needles, and heroin trials...but not Ibogaine.

Re: [ibogaine] The irony of it....


Carla you can remove cannabis and replace it with
almost anything else. Oil, politics, sports. All the
arguments are about the same things all people argue

about. Money, ego and who's right or wrong.

Try explaining the past and present of ibogaine to
someone who just walked in the room. Not a big
difference. You have the pot calling the kettle black.
Ibogaine is the biggest psychedelic soap opera going
and has no more unity among the players then any other
group mentioned. Except on top of that try explaining
what ibogaine even does.

The difference is ibogaine has been financially backed
in many ways by the cannabis movement over a long
time.

Keith Stroup is from NORML. Ethan is Ethan Nadelman
who runs the Drug Policy Alliance which used to be the
Lindesmith center that merged with the Drug Policy
Foundation. Steve Bloom is a editor at High Times.
Kennedys are some of the owners of High Times which
has been owned by Tom Forcade's lawyers since he
comitted suicide. High Times is not in favor with
cannabis reform activists because it is charged with
not doing anything except selling magazines and
capitalizing on a lifestyle.

Prague: Michael "xChaos" Polak <mmmteam@...> Tel: +420 603 872631 / +420 2 33358050  http://www.legalizace.cz MMM 2003 was the smoothest,most "mainstream" legalization event.... 2000 people, almost zero interest from police... MMM looks more and more like regular festival, rather than political rally. However media coverage was good/neutral, and as usual, it seems politicians are more likely to talk about legalization after MMM attracts media. We publicly announced the list of 8 people imprisoned for cannabis only out of 10 million. But Vaclav Havel is no longer president; Havel used right to give amnesty to prisoners to virtually veto some laws, including cannabis possession.
