Surprising that the news of the kidnapping failed to be posted on this list. Comparing that to Malalai Joya being mentioned in message # 18666 of this list, and in that same message the slur about Freud, there certainly seems to be work to do here. The kidnapped woman taught English language and embroidery, thus prompting the question: "Why is Alexander Litvinenko's book, The Gang From Lubyanka available on the internet in its entirety in the Russian language only? After all, it was published in New York City. It seems, then, that only Russian language readers (such as Russian Americans) will be able to know what Litvinenko had to say well before most other Americans.
Why this matters is that most think the defining event of the last decade was 9/11 in the U.S., while others may point to the 1999 apartment bombings in Moscow. Iraqi farmers have noticed the benefits of last year's opium harvest in Afghanistan, while Russian mafiosi show up at that border with their sharp-dressed arm candy assistants 'to do business.' If readers are dilligent, they will notice that it has been verified that if the opium harvest in Afghanistan tops last years' harvest, anti-drug forces will spray. This harvest happens in February, and U.S. Marines are due to arrive there this coming spring. That arrival should mutate the parameters of humanitarian aid. The nazi war on cancer equates with a current academic anti-tobacco program now underway in Indiana. People have begun to watch each other, making it much easier for fascism to flourish. Does this rightfully compare with H.R. 1559? The studies published on tobacco smoking available at Pubmed will show that there is politico-economic bias in reporting these studies as compared with studies on cannabis. Why does that matter? Because in one Indiana city, public signs are going up: "Tobacco-Free." Yet no signs such as "Smoke-Free." Another reason that it matters is that Buddhism prefers tranquilization (samatha), thus the CIA in Tibet would compare with the bias to allow tranquilization by way of an underground economy (Cannabis) rather than a grocery-store economy (tobacco). What are people smoking on the Siachen Glacier? Yes, neocons are intensifying the situation, just as any other organized religious mafia would when faced with the concept of avarice and the delirium of late capitalism. The reader is advised to take their time to digest what was just posted. Otherwise, they may take the bait and think there are no correlations. Few have even read published Freudian works about smoking tobacco, yet they are extant. In Julia Kristeva's essay (as per Toril Moi), "Why the United States?," she points to the difficulty of dissidents, especially American dissidents, and as well points to the American Middle West. In the old black-and-white archives of early American television, there was a program about cannabis smoking that unserscored the notion that the anti-drug agent had a technique of not inhaling as the joint was being passed around. One day perhaps, someone on this list will come across that program and view it. In the meantime, we ponder H.R. 1559. And not a clue that Dr. Henry, the one who diagnosed Litvinenko also pointed out the dangers of cannabis?
