only some drug use is criminalized

usually the natural substances.

That protects patentholders and pharma, who sell drugs by the containerload to other countries, sometimes after bribing the officials of those countries. Some really hardcore "drugs" are advertised on tv and prescribed to children. Soldiers are routinely pumped full of really dangerous "drugs"all the time (used to be prohibited).

Some people wonder why this is, even after hearing (or not) that there is a revolving door between the FDA and Washington, District of Criminals.

It isn't all that complicated, really. You can't patent a plant (yet- see MONSANTO, who has operatives deeply ensconced in the bowels of government.)

Nothing will change until the people demand it. No "leader" is going to ride out of the sky on a white horse and save the people.

And for those that say the Drug War was and is a failure, ask yourself how you could manage to turn a nations citizens on themselves, get them to give up their right to self treatment, shred the Bill of Rights, and enrich the biggest drug makers on the planet all at the same time, while confiscating billions of dollars to pay for it all.

The "Drug War" has been one of the most successful big government programs ever unleashed on a population.

De Nachtwacht is capable of

inducing time travel. At least that's what it felt like. It's more like a floor to ceiling window than a painting. It was breathtaking. For hours.

"I frankly am tired of dealing with the "principled" set."

Thanks for making that perfectly clear. The feeling is mutual, though the opinions of the "principled set" are obviously worth less than yours- to you anyway. Maybe one day everyone will agree with you. OR, maybe not. I'm guessing...

What's up with Rachel Maddow, Gun Lover?

TV's top lefty gets her gun

[IMG][/IMG]

She's America's leading lefty wonk, complete with chunky glasses, Ph.D., and a deep faith in activist government. But Rachel Maddow is also, a little unexpectedly, totally into guns. Which is how come she ended up at the Westside Pistol & Rifle Range in Manhattan for a recent Rolling Stone photo shoot. (Maddow is profiled by Ben Wallace-Wells in the current issue of the magazine.) "I used to bring my radio producers," she says in this clip. "Everyone here's really nice."

Baucus’s Raucous Caucus: Doctors, Nurses and Activists Arrested Again for Protesting Exclusion of Single-Payer Advocates at Senate Hearing on Healthcare

http://www.democracynow.org/2009/5/13/baucus_raucus_caucus_doctors_nurses_and

Advocates of single-payer universal healthcare — the system favored by most Americans — continue to protest their exclusion from discussions on healthcare reform. On Tuesday, five doctors, nurses and single-payer advocates were arrested at a Senate Finance Committee hearing, bringing the total number of arrests in less than a week to thirteen. We speak with two of those arrested: Single Payer Action founder Russell Mokhiber and Dr. Margaret Flowers of Physicians for a National Health Program. [includes rush transcript]MORE--

something to refresh your memory

Baucus had Single Payer Doctor and Nurse advocates ****arrested**** at a hearing.

again: Max Baucus had Single Payer Doctor and Nurse Advocates ****arrested**** at a HEARING.

Can you imagine the outrage if a Republican did that? Do you think people on this board would still be talking about it?

Is it any wonder that most Democrats forget this little episode? After all, now that the Democrats are the party of arresting single payer advocates, mandatory insurance, drone strikes, and cutting social security, It would be prudent to pretend bozo's like Baucus don't even exist.

Democrats against Agenda 21

UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development is the action plan implemented worldwide to inventory and control all land, all water, all minerals, all plants, all animals, all construction, all means of production, all energy, all education, all information, and all human beings in the world. INVENTORY AND CONTROL.


Democrat Rosa Koire

Have you wondered where these terms 'sustainability' and 'smart growth' and 'high density urban mixed use development' came from? Doesn't it seem like about 10 years ago you'd never heard of them and now everything seems to include these concepts? Is that just a coincidence? That every town and county and state and nation in the world would be changing their land use/planning codes and government policies to align themselves with...what?...MORE

IRS collecting tax payer information from Facebook and Twitter

Posted: Apr 08, 2013 4:52 AM

"...According to several reports, the agency will also be collecting personal information from sites like Facebook and Twitter

Attorney Kristen Mathews warns to be careful with what you say on social media platforms.

"There are laws that regulate the government's ability to get a hold of things like credit card transaction history. But those laws have become more permissive in the last several years, particularly after 9-11, and so some might say those laws are no longer in line with the average expectation of privacy," says Mathews...MORE
