| Federal War Against The Sick |

Posted by FoM on February 15, 2002 at 08:14:45 PT By Deroy Murdock, Scripps Howard News Service Source: Naples Daily News 
Last Monday, the FBI warned that "a planned attack may occur in the United States or against U.S. interests on or around Feb. 12," thanks to 12 terrorists led by Fawaz Yahya al-Rabeei, a Saudi-born Yemeni. Suspecting this, federal officials should have deployed as many dedicated, talented agents as possible to protect high-profile targets such as San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf or the pyramidal Transamerica Tower. Think again. Washington instead chose Feb. 12 to unleash tough, gun-toting Drug Enforcement Agency officers against AIDS and cancer patients.

| It's time to get real active and distribute this information as information is all it takes and is what has been missing in the lives of Americans. The information blackout has lulled the U.S. into a state of complacency that knows no bounds. But it is wake-up time and we are the awakeners! Get informed and disseminate the truth, as it will never lose it's appeal and will always resonate. Peace! [ Post Comment ] |

| These baby killers don't care about life, only profits for themselves. Zero tolerance has never been a realistic goal and peace would remove the same profits perpetuating this most stupid of all stupid wars. Along with keeping cannabis eliminated from the market shelves. The $19 billion Bushit allocated for this years WoD will be earned by his corporate friends with his own profits from prison food, cattle, fossil fuels and Pharmaceuticals keeping competition out. The hundreds of billions of dollars spent on this 30 year war was taxible income, making it a nonpartisan fascism, though the start and continual abuse has been mostly GOPer republican IG Farben Nazi subsidiaries. You support terrorist, drug warlords and disease from fossil fuels unless you advocate for cannabis legalization that will end the WoD support of these International Corporatist as it is the Keystone. The sheople don't deserve Liberty when they stand by not trying to stop this fascism. This is not about winning or losing, its about fighting everyday for your own mortal soul. We choose the sides we're on and we will get whats coming to us. Either way.
Peace, Love and Liberty

| Spending resources eradicating cannabis, profiting Monsanto and Ashcraft. While the big numbers of arrest and confiscations drive future DEAth budgets, in reality 99% of the pot these fascist blind followers remove from the streets is non-psychoactive hemp. With the only danger of competition to the crude oil pesticides, meat, cotton and gasoline. No bystanders. Only fascist promote this war against sick people. Naive or intentional fascist, but fascist none the less. What would everyone do if someone disrupted the Pharmaceutical tretments of sick people as these murderers do to cannabis users? I hope we don't have to find out. It is clear the DEAth mongers don't play by the rules unless its their back room rules to eliminate corporate cost killing environmental regulations or worker safety, child protection and the safety nets keeping millions from another Great Depression. Cutting jobs and donating billions of dollars to the corporations. Sick bastards don't deserve to live let alone be Americans. Do your patriotic duty and put a GOPer out of business! Die Nazi Skum!

| "If you are buying illegal drugs, it is likely that money is going to end up in the hands of terrorist organizations." Before all of this terrorist hullabaloo, what hands were receiving the money? Laundered drug money was probably used for investing in the various stock exchanges in New York, London, etc. Maybe, laundered drug money is no longer being invested in such places and therein lies the rub. Don't use those stupid drugs, the 'other' mind altering substances, legal or 'illegal', and smoke cannabis. Feel free to do whatever you want though, I won't stand in your way. It's your life, make the best of it. [ Post Comment ] |

| What if the raids on California Cannabis Clubs spark the second civil war? What if something really huge like that happens? Imagine the catch-up game the major media will have to start playing. Big-time. Having said that, don't forget, Feb 22 on CBS' 48 Hours they're doing a special on the mother of the eight year old in Placer County who fought the state over her medical marijuana muffins.

| "There should be lots of signs that say "Politicians speak for big business, not the people" and "The Press is the Voice of the People"." Well, the fact of the matter is, is that the "Press" is "Big Business". They are one and the same. They are NOT the voice of the people. (Though they do put on that mask when it suits their goals.) I don't think that after years of spoon feeding the masses what they want them to hear in order to further the agendas of big business (themselves), they'll have any inclination to suddenly switch over to advance the agenda of 'the people". Sorry, but there's really no money in it for them. And making money is the reason they exist at all. "The voice of the people" is the internet... right now. And as Rev0x said, 3/4ths of the people who access the internet go straight to the major media sites to get a more "in-depth' look at a news story. So they still get the 'big business" spin on things. So, how to change this? [ Post Comment ] |

| There needs to be a huge protest march that surrounds CNN headquarters in Atlanta. There should be lots of signs that say "Politicians speak for big business, not the people" and "The Press is the Voice of the People". The trick is to overwhelmingly get their attention with a million people outside their door and at the same time get them on our side. The event needs to be a Drug Reform rally and at the same time carry a strong an unmistakable Pro-Media tone. At that point they will carry our stories. [ Post Comment ] |

| Well that's all fine and dandy, except I'd have to guess that 3/4ths of the people that turn to the internet for supplemental news still end up at CNN.com or foxnews.com CNN could at least print some of this stuff up on their web site. [ Post Comment ] |

| The public is nowadays turning to the Internet to find news that doesn't come up on CNN or the other megacorporate sources. TV watching is declining while Internet watching is increasing. People are looking to the Internet to supplement what they can get on TV. Eventually the big news networks are going to catch on to this and try to do something about it. I think that as people get more used to the depth of news coverage attainable by browsing the Internet, CNN and other TV news outlets will find themselves in big trouble. It's extremely difficult to go into depth on any subject on TV, because people can never talk as fast as they can read. We're in a transition point now, and I think that marijuana news is part of this change, it's one of the kinds of news that people will find they can get on the internet and not on TV, and that will eventually have an impact on CNN and the others.

| I'll tell you. It has to do with the fact that no matter how much info we have against "THEM", it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter because the media mouthpiece of amerikka will not report this. I have looked. CNN.COM, MSNBC.COM, etc, etc, etc. NO MENTION of this. Only small time papers and "the wire" will pick it up. Will anyone pick the story out of the wire and use it, though? Never! That would undermine our sensitive and irrational views (drug policy) on locking up people for planting a seed. Now we can't have people planting seeds now can we? After all, it's not like it grows on a tree...er....wait...it does. pissed, hateful, and fearful that change will NEVER come, -gf [ Post Comment ] |
