>Both trials were scheduled to start on Monday -

>patients; possessing some cannabis that was found when
>police searched his home in Glastonbury.
>
>At Snaresbrook, Tony Taylor was charged with
>dispensing cannabis from his premises in Caledonian
>Road, which were raided by Customs officers in June,
>2001, following the delivery of 13 kilo-weight
>packages of Swiss grass that had been piling up at the
>post office. Tony had admitted to the press that he
>dispensed cannabis to around 250 customers, each of
>whom supplied a letter of recommendation from their
>doctor and signed an agreement to appear as witnesses
>in Tony's defence in the event of his prosecution.
>
>The Free Cannabis trial was preceded by a discussion
>between Judge Karsten, Ms Strickland for the Crown and
>Free Rob Cannabis, representing himself. The Judge
>struggled to comprehend exactly what Mr Cannabis hoped
>to achieve in his trial, bearing in mind that he
>didn't dispute the evidence against him, and pointed
>out that any attempt to invoke article 9.1 of the
>European Declaration of Human Rights was bound to fail
>in the light the Court of Appeal Judgement in R vs.
>Paul Taylor of October 2001. That judgement declared
>that 'the [UN] Conventions of 1961 and 1998… provided
>powerful evidence of an international consensus that
>an unqualified ban on the possession of cannabis with
>intent to supply is necessary to combat public health
>and public safety dangers arising from such drugs.'
>
>Free Rob explained that defence would consist of a
>statement of his beliefs with regard to cannabis, a
>brief discussion of the origins of prohibition, and an
>assertion of his Human Rights. Judge Karsten
>summarised by saying that Mr Cannabis would admit the
>facts of the case against him, but direct the jury to
>deliver a 'perverse verdict' of not guilty on the
>grounds that the Misuse of Drugs Act is an unjust law.
>Whereupon, the judge would advise the jury that they
>should judge the evidence presented to them in the
>light of the law as it stands.
>
>That clear, the jury was empanelled and the trial
>began with testimony from senior police officers who
>were in charge when Rob was arrested. They cheerfully
>admitted forcibly restraining Mr Cannabis, even though
>he didn't offer any resistance, and subjecting him to
>an intimate search, even though he readily admitted
>that there was cannabis in his bag. A video was shown
>of the auction: 7g organic, Swiss-grown Hindu Kush
>weed with a glass pipe to smoke it in went for £70;
5g
>pollinator hash from Switzerland, plus a pipe, made
>£52; 4g Afghani hash with a pipe fetched £55...
>
>At Snaresbrook, the prosecution failed to turn up to
>pursue the case against Tony Taylor. A stand-in
>barrister admitted that he wasn't properly acquainted
>with the case and didn't know the whereabouts of a
>video tape that was shot at the time of the raid on
>Tony's Hemp Corner. The defence claimed that this tape
>would demonstrate that the cannabis dispensary was an
>entirely medicinal concern, as it showed filing
>cabinets containing records, etc. The prosecution
>agreed to produce this vital piece of evidence before
>the trial began. Then a jury was empanelled and sent
>home.
>
>On Tuesday, nothing much happened at Tony's trial. The
>defence arrived with up to a dozen of Tony's patients
>and a couple of Experts attached to GW
>Pharmaceuticals: Dr Willy Notcutt of James Paget
>Hospital, Great Yarmouth, who has been conducting the
>GW trials; and Leslie Iverson, visiting professor of
>pharmacology at Oxford University, who was a
>specialist adviser to the House of Lords science and
>technology committee. Once again, the prosecution
>failed to turn up! After about three hours, a lone
>copper appeared to explain that the police were having
>trouble laying hands on the crucial video tape.
>
>At the Guildhall, the case against Free Rob was
>concluded on Tuesday with the evidence of a policeman
>from Glastonbury, who had searched his house and
>confiscated his girlfriend's life savings from her
>wardrobe, but ignored a bowl full of odd bits of
>cannabis in the middle of the floor in Rob's room.
>Then Rob prefaced his defence with an invocation to
>Shiva, which no doubt brought a novel element to the
>proceedings. I didn't witness his performance, but
>arrived around 3pm, just before the jury was sent out
>to consider their verdict. Around 4.20 (!) the jury
>was recalled and discharged for the evening.
>
>The next day, the members of the jury continued to
>ponder the case of Regina vs. Free Rob Cannabis while
>the Queen herself arrived in the square outside for
>the state opening of Parliament. At around 12.15, they
>asked to be reminded of the oath they took to judge
>the case on the merits of the evidence presented to
>them. Judge Karsten pointed out that Rob has not
>presented any evidence that contradicted the
>indictment - he admitted it - and that prosecution
>couldn't argue against the evidence Rob had presented
>in order to demonstrate his belief that the law
>against cannabis is unjust, because the Crown in

>said it was not the business of the courts to
>challenge the law and that the jury didn't have the
>'right' to reach a perverse verdict, but he conceded

>
>At 12.50, the jury were called back into court and

>To reach a majority verdict, ten of the twelve jurors

INCUMBENT NEEDELMAN TROUNCES JAMES
MELBOURNE -- Incumbent Republican Mitch Needelman defeated
Democratic
challenger Jodi James on Tuesday night in a campaign that
continuously
rooted itself in differences regarding drug issues.
With 100 percent of the precincts reporting, Needelman won with
33,403
votes (66.9 percent) to James' 16,561 votes (33.1 percent).
The campaign had its ugly moments. James accused Needelman, retired
from
law enforcement, of coercion after he told her he would let the public
know
about her felony drug conviction of 1988. James sold LSD to an
undercover
officer and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. She served less than
a
year before being released.

DRUG WAR CAUSES MORE CRIME
Drug war increases crime. This is the hypothesis of Bruce Benson,
professor
of economics at Florida State University, who spoke to students
about the
drug war Wednesday in Knauss Hall. Benson provided data which pointed
to
the emphasis on the war on drugs program during Reagan's
administration in
the 1980s as the leading cause in a substantial increase in
non-drug
related crime. His lecture was founded on the economic principles
of
scarcity and competition for allocation of resources and focused on
the
'80s -- the time when he said the drug war was born.
Benson hypothesizes that tough drug enforcement laws are pulling
police
resources away from other types of crime and in effect have increased
crime
rates in other areas, particularly in the area of property crime such
as
burglary.
"At least 50 percent of property crime increase was due to a
shift out of
property crime control to drug control," Benson said.

MARIJUANA ACTIVIST: POLICE PERSECUTING ME FOR BELIEFS
My Turn
I returned home from town Wednesday to find law enforcement
officers
swarming all over my property and inside my home. They claimed to
have
obtained the warrant via a phone-in tip that I was growing marijuana.
I do
not believe this to be the case. Until Wednesday, I had never been
arrested
for marijuana in any context. I am not growing marijuana and so
there
really is no one to tip them off. I do not have any enemies that I am
aware
of. No one ever really comes to my home other than family members.
I feel I have been targeted because I founded the Alabama Marijuana
Party.
That is the only known association I have with marijuana. They have
no
other reason to suspect me. This is an infringement on my First
Amendment
right to free speech. In my home they found one stem and
approximately
three marijuana seeds. I had cleaned my home thoroughly before
becoming a
public activist and I know there was nothing here. They came
inside my home
while I was away, and as far as I am concerned, it could have been
planted
as a way to get back at me for two failed raids since September of
this
year. I was arrested and jailed until 1 a.m. Thursday. My husband was
told
to call the sheriff's office at 5 p.m. and that it was a misdemeanor
charge
and I would be allowed out on a signature bond. However, he called at
5
p.m. and was told it was a felony but that I wasn't there yet, when
I
actually was. He called back at 5:30 p.m. and was told it was a
misdemeanor
charge but that a property bond would be required to get me out.
From the very beginning, they told me I would be released on a
signature
bond. I asked the booking officers if everyone in the jail knew that
I
could be released on a signature bond, and I was told yes and that
any
calls about me would be transferred directly to their desk. This did
not
happen.
At 9 p.m. I was put into general population because I was told no one
had
called about getting me out. I was able to make one call. At 1 a.m.
my
husband finally got word via a friend that I could come home and all
he had
to do was sign for my release.
They also confiscated my letter to the editor that was published in
The
Birmingham News on Nov. 7, my Cannabis Culture magazines and some
activist
brochures. They threw my photo albums around, sifted through the ashes
of
my deceased child and read some of my writings in various
notebooks.
One officer remarked, "All famous activists go to jail at least
once." He
said this before I said anything about being an activist, which
corroborates my theory that they targeted me for my views and
political
affiliation.
They forced me to take my children to a relative's home some 50 miles
away
until further notice. The Department of Human Resources was called and
they
interrogated my children unmercifully.
My daughter was told she had pretty hair and asked who brushed it.
She
responded that I (mommy) did. She was then asked if it hurt. She
was
shocked and said, "No!" Then she was asked again four more
times if it hurt
until she said, "Well, sometimes."
My son was asked if he ever saw me rolling or smoking anything other
than
regular tobacco cigarettes to which he replied, "No!" He was
then asked if
he got porn ads in his e-mail. He responded that he sometimes does,
but
that it wasn't our fault.
He told them he signed up for a Yahoo account so he could get C-Toons
on
Cartoon Network, and Yahoo apparently sold his address to those
yucky
people who send him mail he doesn't want. What does brushing hair and
porn
ads in e-mail have to do with any of this? This must not be
allowed to go on.

WOMAN HAUNTED BY DOG'S KILLING
Marcie Carroll Hasn't Been The Same Since Police Shot Her Pet
A London woman has been unable to return to work or go home since
city
police broke into her apartment looking for drugs that were never
there and
shot her pet dog.
Struggling with flashbacks and harbouring a lack of trust in police,
Marcie
Carroll says she is receiving medical attention to help her cope with
the
loss of her dog, Bear.
The six-year-old German shepherd and Lab cross was like a son to her,
she says.
"It's getting harder because I don't really know what to do, and
I can't go
home," Carroll, 22, said yesterday. "I'm still having
nightmares."
Carroll, who began a new job the day before the botched drug raid,
has
essentially been laid off from work and hasn't received a
paycheque.

Yo Queen:
I am so grateful for this past week. It may not feel that
way sometimes, but you should know that you are winning because you
have earned it.
Some of the pictures taken this week in L.A. are posted at the
above address. Like before, we can work here and then publish to
your name site. The great shots of you and the plants is there,
as well as the pictures from Wednesday and Thursday of the greenhouse
and High Times gathering.
As I looked at those pictures posted of Wood with the rock I
understood why he needs to heal his body for at least a week before
finishing up. He had the force of many souls working through
him. Even though the pictures show he was clearly working with
hemp angels, I'd need more than a week to heal.
Let me know what you think of the shots and how to upgrade the
captions (including the name of the younger brother who helped and the
High Times photographer)
Please share this address with folks who may be able to help us
raise the money to finish off the greenhouse if that's what you want.
If you decide to go to Hawaii or upstate, or just take a vacation, I'd
understand.
As we said, the purpose of the greenhouse was to demonstrate that
you are doing the right thing, and, based on results, it conveyed its
energy. They didn't even show up (after all, it wasn't harvest
time.) "One more soul got saved Dear Lord, thank you, one
more soul got saved."
By the way, Richard, Brenda, Sherwood, Angela and me make five
(both Brenda and I are whole people). I've been hard pressed to
find many folks in L.A. who have that many folks who really love
them. It's time for you to be happy.
I have a lot more to say, but I'm too tired to say it now.
I'll write more in the morning.
Let me know what you think.
Extra angels to you.

Status:
Green Aid is Fighting a Federal Prosecution That Will Deprive You of
Your
Right of Choice Regarding Your Health and Welfare
The prosecution of Ed Rosenthal is very important to Washington
conservatives and is a very real threat to your freedom of choice.
Ed is the focus of one of several federal prosecutions that will
attempt to
wipe out strides made by voters on behalf of medical marijuana
reform. He
was arrested by federal agents on February 11, 2002 and is awaiting
trial.
The question is clear - will medical providers be prosecuted
by the
Federal government for supplying marijuana to help sick and dying
people in
California in compliance with state law as passed by Prop 215 in
1996?
The current federal administration is threatened by the probability
that,
with Green Aid's active support, winning Ed's case would stop
federal
government interference with the right of voters to regulate their
own
health and welfare. Winning this case will free Ed to continue
his crusade
for medical marijuana and potentially limit the prosecution of
thousands of
others.
The good news is that the Green Aid: The Medical Marijuana Legal
Defense
and Education Fund (Green Aid) has been officially launched with a
contribution of $650,000 of pro bono (in-kind) legal services and we
now
need to immediately raise $350,000 in matching cash contributions.
Green Aid has been assembled a "green team" of skilled
attorneys to defend
Ed Rosenthal's pivotal case. Attention to the local case and
national
reform initiatives make this a critical time to take social and
legal
action that will have a definitive impact on the legitimate
medical use of
marijuana.
We urgently need your significant donation now to defend Ed
Rosenthal's
landmark case and establish Green Aid as a viable and effective force
to
defend the medical use of marijuana.
Green Aid is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization status and your
donation
will be legally tax deductible. Visit our website address
at
www.Green-Aid.com for additional information. (We're
working on obtaining
a .org web address.)
Pledge whatever you can to the defense matching fund before they
win
another round against choice. And then forward this letter to
everyone on
your e-mail list. Please do whatever you can to help.
Commit whatever
money you can to this fight and help spread the word to others.
Please don't put off responding. Your help is vital to our
continued
struggle to assure that we retain the right as voters to legally
regulate
our own health and welfare through the democratic process.

the
public and by winning critical cases.

CANNABIS LINK TO SCHIZOPHRENIA
Psychiatrists are calling for caution in the move towards
licensing
cannabis-based medicines.
It follows research into a possible link between cannabis use and
schizophrenia.
Two recent studies have shown that heavy use of cannabis is associated
with
a fourfold increased risk of developing the mental illness.
"There are some dangers to using high doses of cannabis that
people need to
know about," said Dr Deepak Cyril D'Souza, Associate Professor
of
Psychiatry at Yale University School of Medicine.
He said there was concern in the medical profession that people who
smoke
large amounts of cannabis for a long period of time are at higher risk
of
developing schizophrenia.

Bush
Fights for Another Clean Shot in His War
by
Robert Fisk "A clean shot" was The Washington Post's
revolting description of the murder
of the al-Qa'ida leaders in Yemen by a US "Predator"
unmanned aircraft. With groveling
approval, the US press used Israel's own mendacious description
of such murders
as a "targeted killing" - and shame on the BBC for
parroting the same words
on Wednesday. How about a little journalistic freedom here? Like
asking why this
important al-Qa'ida leader could not have been arrested. Or tried
before an open
court. Or, at the least, taken to Guantanamo Bay for
interrogation.
Instead, the Americans release a clutch of Guantanamo
"suspects", one of whom
- having been held for 11 months in solitary confinement - turns
out
to be around 100 years old and so senile that he can't string a
sentence together.
And this is the "war on terror"?
But a "clean shot" is what President Bush appears to want to
take at the United
Nations. First, he wants to force it to adopt a resolution about which
the Security
Council has the gravest reservations. Then he warns that he might
destroy the
UN's integrity by ignoring it altogether. In other words, he wants to
destroy
the UN. Does George Bush realize that the United States was the prime
creator
of this institution, just as it was of the League of Nations under
President Woodrow
Wilson?
"Targeted killing" - courtesy of the Bush administration -
is now
what the Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon can call "legitimate
warfare". And
Vladimir Putin, too. Now the Russians - I kid thee not, as Captain
Queeg
said in the Caine Mutiny - are talking about "targeted
killing" in their
renewed war on Chechnya. After the disastrous "rescue" of
the Moscow theatre hostages
by the so-called "elite" Russian Alpha Special forces
(beware, oh reader, any
rescue by "elite" forces, should you be taken hostage),
Putin is supported by
Bush and Tony Blair in his renewed onslaught against the broken Muslim
people
of Chechnya.
I'm a cynical critic of the US media, but last month Newsweek ran a
brave and
brilliant and terrifying report on the Chechen war. In a deeply moving
account
of Russian cruelty in Chechnya, it recounted a Russian army raid on an
unprotected
Muslim village. Russian soldiers broke into a civilian home and shot
all inside.
One of the victims was a Chechen girl. As she lay dying of her
wounds, a Russian
soldier began to rape her. "Hurry up Kolya," his friend
shouted, "while she's
still warm."
Now, I have a question. If you or I was that girl's husband or lover
or brother
or father, would we not be prepared to take hostages in a Moscow
theatre? Even
if this meant - as it did - that, asphyxiated by Russian gas, we
would
be executed with a bullet in the head, as the Chechen women
hostage-takers were?
But no matter. The "war on terror" means that Kolya and the
boys will be back
in action soon, courtesy of Messrs Putin, Bush and Blair.
Let me quote that very brave Israeli, Mordechai Vanunu, the man who
tried to
warn the West of Israel's massive nuclear war technology, imprisoned
for 12 years
of solitary confinement - and betrayed, so it appears, by one Robert
Maxwell.
In a poem he wrote in confinement, Vanunu said: "I am the clerk,
the technician,
the mechanic, the driver. They said, Do this, do that, don't look left
or right,
don't read the text. Don't look at the whole machine. You are only
responsible
for this one bolt, this one rubber stamp."
Kolya would have understood that. So would the US Air Force officer
"flying"
the drone which murdered the al-Qa'ida men in Yemen. So would the
Israeli pilot
who bombed an apartment block in Gaza, killing nine small children as
well as
well as his Hamas target, an "operation" - that was the
description, for
God's sake - which Ariel Sharon described as "a great
success".
These days, we all believe in "clean shots". I wish that
George Bush could
read history. Not just Britain's colonial history, in which we
contrived to use
gas against the recalcitrant Kurds of Iraq in the 1930s. Not just his
own country's
support for Saddam Hussein throughout his war with Iran. The Iranians
once produced
a devastating book of colored photographs of the gas blisters
sustained by their
soldiers in that war. I looked at them again this week. If you were
these men,
you would want to die. They all did. I wish someone could remind
George Bush of
the words of Lawrence of Arabia, that "making war or
rebellion is messy, like
eating soup off a knife."
And I suppose I would like Americans to remember the arrogance of
colonial
power. Here, for example, is the last French executioner in
Algeria during the
1956-62 war of independence, Fernand Meysonnier, boasting only last
month of his
prowess at the guillotine. "You must never give the guy the time
to think. Because
if you do he starts moving his head around and that's when you have
the mess-ups.
The blade comes through his jaw, and you have to use a butcher's knife
to finish
it off. It is an exorbitant power - to kill one's fellow man." So
perished the brave Muslims of the Algerian fight for freedom.
No, I hope we will not commit war crimes in Iraq - there will be
plenty
of them for us to watch - but I would like to think that the
United Nations
can restrain George Bush and Vladimir Putin and, I suppose, Tony
Blair. But one
thing is sure. Kolya will be with them.

<http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2002/11/15/no_fly/index.html
Nov. 15, 2002 | Barbara Olshansky was in Newark
International Airport at the JetBlue departure gate
last March when an airline agent at the counter
checking her boarding pass called airport security.
Olshansky was subjected to a close search and then,
though she was in view of other travelers, was ordered
to pull her pants down. The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks
may have created a new era in airport security, but
even so, she was embarrassed and annoyed.
Perhaps one such incident might've been forgotten, but
Olshansky, the assistant legal director for the left-
leaning Center for Constitutional Rights, was pulled
out of line for special attention the next time she
flew. And the next time. And the next time. On one
flight this past September from Newark to Washington,
six members of the center's staff, including Olshansky,
were stopped and subjected to intense scrutiny, even
though they had purchased their tickets independently
and had not checked in as a group. On that occasion,
Olshansky got angry and demanded to know why she had
been singled out.
"The computer spit you out," she recalls the agent
saying. "I don't know why, and I don't have time to
talk to you about it."
Olshansky and her colleagues are, apparently, not
alone. For months, rumors and anecdotes have circulated
among left-wing and other activist groups about people
who have been barred from flying or delayed at security
gates because they are "on a list."
But now, a spokesman for the new Transportation
Security Administration has acknowledged for the first
time that the government has a list of about 1,000
people who are deemed "threats to aviation" and not
allowed on airplanes under any circumstances. And in an
interview with Salon, the official suggested that
Olshansky and other political activists may be on a
separate list that subjects them to strict scrutiny but
allows them to fly.
"We have a list of about 1,000 people," said David
Steigman, the TSA spokesman. The agency was created a
year ago by Congress to handle transportation safety
during the war on terror. "This list is composed of
names that are provided to us by various government
organizations like the FBI, CIA and INS Š We don't ask
how they decide who to list. Each agency decides on its
own who is a 'threat to aviation.'"
The agency has no guidelines to determine who gets on
the list, Steigman says, and no procedures for getting
off the list if someone is wrongfully on it.
Meanwhile, airport security personnel, citing lists
that are provided by the agency and that appear to be
on airline ticketing and check-in computers, seem to be
netting mostly priests, elderly nuns, Green Party
campaign operatives, left-wing journalists, right-wing
activists and people affiliated with Arab or Arab-
American groups.
# Virgine Lawinger, a nun in Milwaukee and an activist
with Peace Action, a Catholic advocacy group, was
stopped from boarding a flight last spring to
Washington, where she and 20 young students were
planning to lobby the Wisconsin congressional
delegation against U.S. military aid to the Colombian
government. "We were all prevented from boarding, and
some of us were taken to another room and questioned by
airport security personnel and local sheriff's
deputies," says Lawinger.
In that incident, an airline employee with Midwest Air
and a local sheriff's deputy who had been called in
during the incident to help airport security personnel
detain and question the group, told some of them that
their names were "on a list," and that they were being
kept off their plane on instructions from the
Transportation Security Administration in Washington.
Lawinger has filed a freedom-of-information request
with the Transportation Security Administration seeking
to learn if she is on a "threat to aviation" list.
# Last month, Rebecca Gordon and Jan Adams, two
journalists with a San Francisco-based antiwar magazine
called War Times were stopped at the check-in counter
of ATA Airlines, where an airline clerk told them that
her computer showed they were on "the FBI No Fly list."
The airline called the FBI, and local police held them
for a while before telling them there had been a
mistake and that they were free to go. The two made
their plane, but not before the counter attendant
placed a large S for "search" on their baggage,
assuring that they got more close scrutiny at the
boarding gate.
# Art dealer Doug Stuber, who ran Ralph Nader's Green
Party presidential campaign in North Carolina in 2000,
was barred last month from getting on a flight to
Hamburg, Germany, where he was going on business, after
he got engaged in a loud, though friendly, discussion
with two other passengers in a security line. During
the course of the debate, he shouted that "George Bush
is as dumb as a rock," an unfortunate comment that
provoked the Raleigh-Durham Airport security staff to
call the local Secret Service bureau, which sent out
two agents to interrogate Stuber.
"They took me into a room and questioned me all about
my politics," Stuber recalls. "They were very up on
Green Party politics, too." They fingerprinted him and
took a digital eye scan. Particularly ominous, he says,
was a loose-leaf binder held by the Secret Service
agents. "It was open, and while they were questioning
me, I discreetly looked at it," he says. "It had a long
list of organizations, and I was able to recognize the
Green Party, Greenpeace, EarthFirst and Amnesty
International." Stuber was eventually released, but
because he missed his flight, he had to pay almost
$2,000 for a full-fare ticket to Hamburg so that he did
not miss his business engagement.
A Secret Service agent at the agency's Washington
headquarters confirmed that his agency had been called
in to question Stuber. "We're not normally a part of
the airport security operation," Agent Mark Connelly
told Salon. "That's the FBI's job. But when one of our
protection subjects gets threatened, we check it out."
Asked about the list of organizations observed by
Stuber, the Secret Service source speculated that those
organizations might be on a list of organizations that
the service, which is assigned the task of protecting
the president, might need to monitor as part of its
security responsibility.
Additional evidence suggests that Olshansky, Stuber and
other left-leaning activists are also seen as a threat
to aviation, though perhaps of a different grade. A top
official for the Eagle Forum, an old-line conservative
group led by anti-feminist icon Phyllis Schlafly, said
several of the group's members have been delayed at
security checkpoints for so long that they missed their
flights. According to Pax Christi, a Catholic peace
organization, an American member of the Falun Gong
Chinese religious group was barred from getting back on
a plane that had stopped in Iceland, reportedly based
on information supplied to Icelandic customs by U.S.
authorities. The person was reportedly permitted to fly
onward on a later flight.
Hussein Ibish, communications director of the American
Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, says his group has
documented over 80 cases -- involving 200 people -- in
which fliers with Arabic names have been delayed at the
airport, or barred altogether from flying. Some, he
says, appear to involve people who have no political
involvement at all, and he speculated that they
suffered the misfortune of having the same name as
someone "on the list" for legitimate security reasons.
Until Steigman's confirmation of the no-fly list, the
government had never admitted its existence. While FBI
spokesman Paul Bresson confirmed existence of the list,
officials at the CIA and U.S. Immigration and
Naturalization Service declined to comment and referred
inquiries back to the TSA. Details of how it was
assembled and how it is being used by the government,
airports and airlines are largely kept secret.
A security officer at United Airlines, speaking on
condition of anonymity, confirmed that the airlines
receive no-fly lists from the Transportation Security
Administration but declined further comment, saying it
was a security matter. A USAir spokeswoman, however,
declined to comment, saying that the airline's security
relationship with the federal transit agency was a
security matter and that discussing it could
"jeopardize passenger safety."
Steigman declined to say who was on the no-fly list,
but he conceded that people like Lawinger, Stuber,
Gordon, Adams and Olshansky were not "threats to
aviation," because they were being allowed to fly after
being interrogated and searched. But then, in a
Byzantine twist, he raised the possibility that the
security agency might have more than one list. "I
checked with our security people," he said, "and they
said there is no [second] list," he said. "Of course,
that could mean one of two things: Either there is no
second list, or there is a list and they're not going
to talk about it for security reasons."
In fact, most of those who have been stopped from
boarding flights (like Lawinger, Stuber, Gordon and
Adams) were able to fly later. Obviously, if the TSA
thought someone was a genuine "threat to aviation" --
like those on the 1,000-name no-fly list, they would
simply be barred from flying. So does the agency have
more than one list perhaps -- one for people who are
totally barred from flying and another for people who
are simply harassed and delayed?
Asked why the TSA would be barring a 74-year-old nun
from flying, Steigman said: "I don't know. You could
get on the list if you were arrested for a federal
felony."
Sister Lawinger says she was arrested only once, back
in the 1980s, for sitting down and refusing to leave
the district office of a local congressman. And even
then, she says, she was never officially charged or
fined. But another person who was in the Peace Action
delegation that day, Judith Williams, says she was
arrested and spent three days in jail for a protest at
the White House back in 1991. In that protest, Williams
and other Catholic peace activists had scaled the White
House perimeter fence and scattered baby dolls around
the lawn to protest the bombing of Iraq. She says that
the charge from that incident was a misdemeanor, an
infraction that would not seem enough to establish her
as a threat to aviation.
Inevitably, such questions about how one gets on a
federal transit list creates questions about how to get
off it. It is a classic -- and unnerving -- catch-22:
Because the Transportation Security Administration says
it compiles the list from names provided by other
agencies, it has no procedure for correcting a problem.
Aggrieved parties would have to go to the agency that
first reported their names, but for security reasons,
the TSA won't disclose which agency put someone on the
list.
Bresson, the FBI spokesperson, would not explain the
criteria for classifying someone as a threat to
aviation, but suggests that fliers who believe they're
on the list improperly should "report to airport
security and they should be able to contact the TSA or
us and get it cleared up." He concedes that might mean
missed flights or other inconveniences. His
explanation: "Airline security has gotten very
complicated."
Many critics of the security agency's methods accept
the need for heightened air security, but remain
troubled the more Kafka-esque traits of the system.
Waters, at the Eagle Forum, worries that the government
has offered no explanation for how a "threat to
aviation" is determined. "Maybe the people being
stopped are already being profiled," she says. "If
they're profiling people, what kind of things are they
looking for? Whether you fit in in your neighborhood?"
"I agree that the government should be keeping known
'threats to aviation' off of planes," Ibish says. "I
certainly don't want those people on my plane! But
there has to be a procedure for appealing this, and
there isn't. There are no safeguards and there is no
recourse."
Meanwhile, nobody in the federal government has
explained why so many law-abiding but mostly left-
leaning political activists and antiwar activists are
being harassed at check-in time at airports. "This all
raises serious concerns about whether the government
has made a decision to target Americans based on their
political beliefs," says Katie Corrigan, an ACLU
official. The ACLU has set up a No Fly List Complaint
Form on its Web site.
One particular concern about the government's threat to
aviation list and any other possible lists of people to
be subjected to extra security investigation at
airports is that names are being made available to
private companies -- the airlines and airport
authorities -- charged with alerting security
personnel. Unlike most other law-enforcement watch
lists, these lists are not being closely held within
the national security or law-enforcement files and
computers, but are apparently being widely dispersed.
"It's bad enough when the federal government has lists
like this with no guidelines on how they're compiled or
how to use them," says Olshansky at the Center for
Constitutional Rights. "But when these lists are then
given to the private sector, there are even less
controls over how they are used or misused." Noting
that airlines have "a free hand" to decide whether
someone can board a plane or not, she says the result
is a "tremendous chilling of the First Amendment right
to travel and speak freely."
But Olshansky, alarmed by her own experience and the
number of others reporting apparent political
harassment, is fighting back. She says now that the
government has confirmed the existence of a blacklist,
her center is planning a First Amendment lawsuit
against the federal government. CCR and has already
signed up Lawinger, Stuber, and several others from
Milwaukee's Peace Action group.

All I can offer is my personal experience and that is: Ibogaine was
the most
wonderful experience to happen in my life. I kicked methadone with it,
and I
didn't feel like jumping out of my skin afterwards. I didn't feel all
that
great physically, but I'd say 90% of the withdrawal sypmtoms were
non-existant.
after 20 years of various drugs, the last six heroin/cocaine, and 4
years of
methadone my physical state wasn't that great, I had the pallor of
your local
concrete sidewalk. BUT: I had no desire to use. I was in Italy at the
time and
the town I was staying in had quite a poulation of local street
addicts.
everywhere i went I say people copping, fixing, hustling and s0-on.
and not a
once did it draw me in.
in other words the obsession and compulsion were removed. For me, it
was a very
spiritual experience and I drilled down to the core issues in 36 short
hours.
-Years of 12 step or [psycho]therapy couldn't come close to the
revelations I
had. Other people I know didn't experience anything of the sort but
that is
their story, this is mine.
Post Ibogaine is a really important time to nurture yourself & do
some
follow-up, things like eating healthy food, taking
vitamins/supplements, get
some decent excercise, get out into nature if possible, lay off the
old
habits/routines and find something really cool to do with your extra
time, like
a long abandoned hobby or something entirely new and exciting and
hopefully
legal. find a hip therapist, explore yourself. and check in here from
time to
time. we're all doing it, more or less.
Best of luck and feel free to ask questions,

Yo, that wasn't me. That was my disease
The addiction series: Part I
Addiction?
Cunning, baffling, electrical, powerful, mechanical,
insidious, dangerous, solid yet squishy and operating
on a principle similar to radar, only different.
But unstable and FLYING out of everything.
Or was that my universal remote...
The entire "disease" model of addiction is wrong.
People create theories in an attempt to understand
various phenomena, as time passes, many of these
theories are proven to be incorrect, or merely
inadequate and slapped together by persons who lack
the knowledge and experience to assimilate and
articulate a more cohesive understanding of the events
in question.
Fire . . . pretty, wow, neato... oh no, it burns,
damn, the house is on fire... ohmygawd fire is awful,
bad, terrible, stay away from it because it destroys
things. I will never do fire again! In fact I will
gather together groups of other people who have all
done fire, and sit around talking about why fire is
awful, to make myself feel better.
Yeah, well, okay. If that works for you, fabulous.
But ya know what? It's not the "correct" solution.
The entire disease concept of addiction, could be
applied to just about anything and be equally wrong -
or more specifically, incomplete. Because when you
come down to it, your "disease" is being a human
being, and your life is just a relapse from death.
And the headspace you're in when you're actively using
drugs... it's not all that different from the one
that many of the people on the planet maintain
throughout their lives. Most people are not all that
deliriously happy or thrilled with things, most of the
time. The only thing that separates you from them, is
you have partially learned something they don't know
about. If you're feeling like shit, or even if you're
feeling really good, and just wanna get high - you
have the knowledge that when you bring this or that
molecule into your bloodstream and it attaches to the
receptors it likes; everything's the same, but somehow
totally different.
Having learned this, you cannot unlearn it.
What all this means is: congratulations, you're human.
Human beings are born to get high and seek altered
states of consciousness. Sex, drugs, rock n' roll,
religion, little kids spinning around in circles until
they get dizzy. It's all the same thing.
If you have the specific goal of moving away from drug
dependence, because due to various circumstances, the
drugs in question are no longer “working” for you, or
the consequences of continued use -- in current
society -- are too high a price to pay. I can offer
some very basic, and relatively simple advice.
To simplify and condense things: drug-dependence
involves a complex series of inter-related systems;
psychology, biology and neurology. We can for example
demonstrate that a specific strain of rat --
genetically bred to be extremely susceptible to
“addiction” -- upon exposure to a particular molecule,
will suddenly STOP HITTING THE LEVER.
Now this is interesting, 'cuz I mean, what
happened...? Did the rat go to rodent therapy and
work out its lousy childhood, gain insight into its
self-destructive behavior, and connect itself to a
higher power of its understanding? Uhm... Probably
not. The only higher power it has come into contact
with is the God whose religious tomes can be found
under the heading: molecular pharmacology.
However, this is the part where it all spins in the
opposite direction, because if the rat had a higher
level of cognitive function, it would take it very
little time to arrive at the understanding, “hmmm, I'm
a rat, trapped in a cage, getting stuck with sharp
objects. The only thing I have to look forward to is
that they're gonna kill me pretty soon and throw me in
the garbage. Ya know what, fuck this, why don't I hit
that lever a few thousand more times, it's not like
things could possibly get any worse.”>>

Yes, it happened this summer when I was treated a non-addicted 30
years old
female. She was suffering from an eating disorder (bulimia) and
wanted to
try an ibogaine treatment with the hope of getting healthy again.
Fortunately this first treatment really took her bulimia again. About
two
weeks later she expressed the desire to go through the treatment
again. She
was administered the ibogaine at lunchtime.She got into a "bad
trip" at
about 2 a.m. (about 12 hours later), I had to be at her bed and talk
to her
all night long so that she wouldn`t get lost in the hellish realms
that were
overwhelming her. At noon she started to process in a very structured
way
all sorts of psychological and relationship related material in a
very
emotional way. This two hours long processing ended with a sort of
auto-exsorcism when she was fighting with the devil inside of her. I
can say
that it was pretty scary, never seen anything like this. Definitely
not an
ordinary ibo-treatment. After the treatment she made changes in her
life
like quitting an unfulfilling relationship where they used to quarrell
all
the time and similar. According to what she says only now she really
started
to live.
I don`t recall all the detailes now, many of the things she was
screaming in
norvegian.
Do you now of a similar case, Gamma ?

Please subscribe to new MMM email list. Public archive still
open.
The public MMM email list at Yahoo Groups now requires people to
subscribe
in order to post messages to the list and the public archive. For
a few
weeks I set it up so that non-members could also send in email
messages to
the list. That was to help people send in MMM rally reports. It
worked.
The archive also got some spam too. That was deleted. But people
should
keep sending in MMM-related stuff. Just subscribe first.
The MMM message archive itself is still public and accessible to
anybody:
