By MATTHEW STURDEVANT | 247-7874 November 22, 2008 Former Poquoson resident Gloria Luttig learned this week that her daughter's and granddaughter' s deaths were shrouded by a CIA cover-up. My daughter was murdered. My granddaughter was murdered, Luttig said during a phone interview from her home in Pace, Fla., outside Pensacola. Veronica L. Roni Bowers, 35, was aboard a small floatplane April 20, 2001, flying with her husband and two children from Brazil to their houseboat on the Amazon River in Iquitos, Peru, where they lived and worked as missionaries. A U.S. anti-drug surveillance plane alerted Peru's military that the Cessna 185 the Bowers were aboard was operating without a flight plan and in airspace frequented by narcotics traffickers — two allegations that are disputed. A Peruvian warplane followed and fired shots at the Cessna. There was no communication. It happened very fast. The planes flew by first, did some swooping and then came in from behind and started shooting, Veronica's brother-in-law — Phil Bowers, a pilot who sat with his brother during a government debriefing on the situation — told The Associated Press in 2001. One of the bullets hit Veronica in her back, zipped through her body and went into the skull of her infant daughter, Charity, who sat on her mother's lap. Both died. The plane made a crash landing in the Amazon River in front of hundreds of witnesses in the Peruvian village of Huanta. The surviving passengers included the pilot, Kevin Donaldson of Morgantown, W.Va.; Veronica's husband, Jim Bowers; and their 6-year-old son, Cory, who clutched the plane's pontoons. One bullet that killed them both, Gloria Luttig said. And my grandson, 6 years old, having to jump out of a plane into the Amazon with fire all around and piranhas. It should never had happened. Luttig paused, crying on the phone Friday as she talked about her daughter's death just days before she and her husband, Garnett John Luttig, plan to drive to Porter, Texas, to see the older of their two surviving children, Garnett Jr. They have another son, Pat Luttig, who lives in Gloucester. And this is a hard time of year, Luttig said. It got harder for the family when reporters in Michigan and Virginia started calling this week to ask whether she had heard about the CIA cover-up. Excerpts of a Central Intelligence Agency internal investigation released Thursday said the agency tried to hide negligence in the case. The report said agency officials lied to Congress and withheld information from federal investigators — including senior Bush administration officials — looking to see whether a crime had been committed by intelligence agents. Sections of the report were released by Michigan Rep. Peter Hoekstra, ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee. Veronica and Jim Bowers lived in Hoekstra's district. Hoekstra's office sent a letter to CIA Inspector General John Helgerson, asking to declassify other parts of the report, which was submitted in August. The document was turned over to the Justice Department, which closed its investigation into the case in 2005 without any prosecutions. A CIA spokesman told the Los Angeles Times that the agency's internal review was still open and that no decisions had been made regarding disciplinary action. As difficult as it is to talk about it, Veronica's family members want the public to know. And, they said, they want justice. You shoot a woman and a baby in the back ... there's still more cover-up, said Veronica's brother, Garnett Luttig Jr., during a phone interview from his home outside Houston. Somebody knows, and somebody is accountable for that final action. ... We've always wanted answers, and we never got any. Veronica Luttig graduated from Poquoson High School in 1982. She wanted to be a missionary even when she was a girl, her mother said. She was a counselor at a Christian summer camp, Camp Open Arms, on the Chickahominy River, where she was paid $10 a week. After graduating from high school, Veronica went to Piedmont Bible

Perry After the coming economic financial collapse, a state of world-wide martial law will be declared. Considering the current events which are in direct alignment with documented plans for totalitarian one-world government, (white paper plans published by the Tri-Lateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, and Club of Rome), martial law will be imposed without official dissent upon the various countries of the world. Martial law is military rule imposed upon civilian populations in a time of war or during a (sic) “State of Emergency”. The following elements can be expected to occur once the t.v. news anchors tell people not to panic, but that a State of Emergency has been declared due to the crash, and a (sic) temporary state of martial law has been declared, which will be rescinded once the State of Emergency has passed. What the news people won’t tell you is that given the history of martial law, the suspension of such a draconian state is far more difficult to achieve than its original imposition. Esteemed reader, ask yourself the question, why dictator or group of dictators ever voluntarily relinquished their dictatorial powers? I’m searching really hard through the history files of the world to find out the handful of amazing people who did so. So far, all I can find is George Washington who declined being elected “King”. Whenever the “Powers That Be” decide to impose martial law, the following items can be expected: 1. CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS ARE ENDED-Under martial law, the U.S. Constitution is suspended and the citizens immediately lose all the protections, safeguards, and human rights guaranteed by that document. The citizens also lose every rights and privileges granted under The Bill of Rights. The constitutions of other countries will likewise be suspended with similar conditions imposed upon the citizens of those other countries. 2. CURFEW ENFORCEMENT-Anyone caught outside after curfew can be shot dead. There are no exceptions for personal emergencies unless of course, these people have some sort of official written permission or are in possession of other material which gives them a “Get Out Of Jail Free” card. 3. WRIT OF HABEUS CORPUS SUSPENDED-This means that soldiers can bust into your house, or arrest you on the street without warrants, and can throw you into prison without explanation or access to legal counsel. They can hold you there for months, even years, since there are no time limits imposed on how long you can be imprisoned. 4. PERSONAL FIREARMS WILL BE SEIZED-Armed forces can invade your home and force you to surrender any weapons you have, regardless of your constitutional right or need to bear arms for your self-defense. If you refuse, you could be shot dead in your living room, and all your possessions seized. If you’re lucky, you might just get Tasered, or butt-ended with an AK-47, to eventually wake up in a Federal Emergency Management Agency (F.E.M.A.) Detention Center with a Prison Identification Number which you will go by as a “name” instead of your old name, the one on your birth certificate. 5. PERSONAL PROPERTY CAN BE SEIZED-This means that under the excuse of “requisitioning” , soldiers can kick you out of your home, and seize both your home, all the contents inside that home, as well as any vehicles, or other items you have on your grounds. They also can claim the actual real estate of the acreage as well. If you refuse or resist in some way well….I guess you can fill in the blanks or use your imagination. The following list of Executive Orders have already been signed by past U.S. presidents are in effect immediately upon declaration of a national State of Emergency or Martial Law: Executive Order 10995: All communications media will be taken over by federal authority: radio, television, websites, newspapers, even CB and Ham radio systems.

Executive Order 10997: All fossil fuels, related substances as well as all electrical power, both corporate as well as privately owned devices and generators will be seized by the federal government.

Officials say the Border Crossing Information system, disclosed last month by the Department of Homeland Security in a Federal Register notice, is part of a broader effort to guard against terrorist threats. It also reflects the growing number of government systems containing personal information on Americans that can be shared for a broad range of law enforcement and intelligence purposes, some of which are exempt from some Privacy Act protections. While international air passenger data has long been captured this way, Customs and Border Protection agents only this year began to log the arrivals of all U.S. citizens across land borders, through which about three-quarters of border entries occur. The volume of people entering the country by land prevented compiling such a database until recently. But the advent of machine-readable identification documents, which the government mandates eventually for everyone crossing the border, has made gathering the information more feasible. By June, all travelers crossing land borders will need to present a machine-readable document, such as a passport or a driver's license with a radio frequency identification chip. In January, border agents began manually entering into the database the personal information of travelers who did not have such documents. The disclosure of the database is among a series of notices, officials say, to make DHS's data gathering more transparent. Critics say the moves exemplify efforts by the Bush administration in its final months to cement an unprecedented expansion of data gathering for national security and intelligence purposes. The data could be used beyond determining whether a person may enter the United States. For instance, information may be shared with foreign agencies when relevant to their hiring or contracting decisions. Public comments are being taken until Monday, when the new system of records will be effective, the notice states. People expect to be checked when they enter the country and for the government to determine if they're admissible or not, said Greg Nojeim, senior counsel at the Center for Democracy amp; Technology. What they don't expect is for the government to keep a record for 15 years of their comings into the country. But DHS spokesman Russ Knocke said the retention period is justified. History has shown, whether you are talking about criminal or terrorist activity, that plotting, planning or even relationships among conspirators can go on for years, he said. Basic travel records can, quite literally, help frontline officers to connect the dots. The government states in its notice that the system was authorized by post-Sept. 11 laws, including the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Reform Act of 2002, the Aviation and Transportation Security Act of 2001, and the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004. Nojeim said that though the statutes authorize the government to issue travel documents and check immigration status, he does not believe they explicitly authorize creation of the database. This database is, in a sense, worse than a watch list, he said. At least in the watch-list scenario, there's some reason why the name got on the list. Here, the only thing a person does to come to the attention of DHS is to lawfully cross the border. The theory of this data collection is: Track everyone -- just in case. Under the system, officials

Meanwhile, Moscow remains unconvinced about Ukrainian claims of neutrality. Referring to the shooting down of a Russian Tu-22 bomber over Georgia, the Defence Ministry says the Georgian military would have needed a C-200 anti-aircraft system to carry out the attack. According to Russia, the Georgian army did not possess such equipment before the conflict. Only Russia and Ukraine are armed with C-200 anti-aircraft systems, which is leading Russian defence officials to suspect that Kiev may have sold the equipment to Georgia.

Bush has asserted executive privilege to block release of Vice President Dick Cheney's interview with a special prosecutor about possible criminal violations in the leaking of a CIA officer's covert identity. Rep. Henry Waxman, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, promptly denounced the White House legal reasoning as ludicrous, noting that executive privilege covers advice that an aide gives the President, not responses to legal questions posed by a prosecutor about a possible crime. Bush applied his broad assertion of executive privilege Wednesday at the request of Attorney General Michael Mukasey, who earlier had rebuffed congressional requests for interviews conducted with both Cheney and Bush about the disclosure of CIA officer Valerie Plame Wilson's identity. I am greatly concerned about the chilling effect that compliance with the [House Oversight] Committee's subpoena would have on future White House deliberations and White House cooperation with future Justice Department investigations, Mukasey wrote in a letter to Bush on Tuesday. According to the letter Mukasey sent to Bush, the documents Waxman subpoenaed from the Justice Department includes Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reports of the Special Counsel's interviews with the Vice President and senior White House staff, as well as handwritten notes taken by FBI agents during some of these interviews. The subpoena also seeks notes taken by the Deputy National Security Advisor during conversations with the Vice President and senior White House officials and other documents provided by the White House to the Special Counsel during the count of the investigation. Many of the subpoenaed materials reflect frank and candid deliberations among senior presidential advisers, including the Vice President, the White House Chief of Staff, the National Security Advisor, and the White House Press Secretary. The deliberations concern a number of sensitive issues, including the preparation of your January 2003 State of the Union Address, possible responses to public assertions challenging the accuracy of a statement in the address, and the decision to send Ms. Plame's husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson, to Niger in 2002 to investigate Iraqi efforts to acquire yellowcake uranium. Some of the subpoenaed documents also contain information about communications between you and senior White House officials, Mukasey's letter says. Since becoming Attorney General in December 2007, Mukasey has balked at investigating crimes allegedly committed earlier by Bush administration officials – from torturing detainees to arranging political prosecutions – a no-look-back approach that drew criticism from the Senate Judiciary Committee. In reaction to Bush's assertion of executive privilege, Waxman said we are not seeking access to the communications between the Vice President and the President. We are seeking access to the communications between the Vice President and FBI investigators. The California Democrat also noted that special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald told the committee in a July 3 letter that Cheney had met with the FBI voluntarily and knew his answers could be disclosed at a public trial. Mr. Fitzgerald told us that `there were no agreements, conditions and understandings' that limited Mr. Fitzgerald's use of the interview

From what I know of the latest legal proceedings, she was not driving at all, just did not want to hand over her kids to K-Fed, the ex.husband. I will share a little incident which happened in my life with you. Just a few months after my first arrest for cannabis, I was driving home from the store about a mile away from where I lived at the time with my firstborn sleeping in his carseat. As I turned left onto the main road, a car came out from the other side of the road and hit me broadside, even though I had the right of way, being in the intersection first. Of course I got out to exchange ids and information with the other guy. He came over to my car, looked in, and said`: Oh my God, you had a baby in the car? I wouldn't have hit you if I had known that. I had just been in an auto accident and didn't think too much about it at that moment. But I never forgot that..What do you think was happening THEN?

Re: [cia-drugs] Cops to search for guns in homes without warrants
The Constitution has long been held to allow the citizens to waive the right to be free from illegal or warrantless searches. What is disturbing, and very disturbing at that, about this program is that implicit in the whole scheme is some alleged right of the police to SEIZE such a weapon, if it were found. This is highly unconstitutional, and would violate the kids' right to keep and bear arms. I hear a collective moan. Right?, you say? And indeed I say RIGHT! Kids have rights too under the Constitution: there is no clause there saying a kid can be told what to say, how to speak, what church to go to, or which forbids a kid to keep and bear arms. Teenage kids are legally part of the militia, to which belong all citizens capable of carrying a firearm, or even a knife or a pike. They have the right to have arms. This could however, possibly be predicated on parental permission. But NEVER ON POLICE PERMISSION: THAT PERMISSION WAS GRANTED WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE CONSTITUTION IN 1788. norgesen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Police to search for guns in homes City program depends on parental consent By Maria Cramer, Globe Staff | November 17, 2007 Boston police are launching a program that will call upon parents in high-crime neighborhoods to allow detectives into their homes, without a warrant, to search for guns in their children's bedrooms. The program, which is already raising questions about civil liberties, is based on the premise that parents are so fearful of gun violence and the possibility that their own teenagers will be caught up in it that they will turn to police for help, even in their own households. In the next two weeks, Boston police officers who are assigned to schools will begin going to homes where they believe teenagers might have guns. The officers will travel in groups of three, dress in plainclothes to avoid attracting negative attention, and ask the teenager's parent or legal guardian for permission to search. If the parents say no, police said, the officers will leave. If officers find a gun, police said, they will not charge the teenager with unlawful gun possession, unless the firearm is linked to a shooting or homicide. The program was unveiled yesterday by Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis in a meeting with several community leaders. I just have a queasy feeling anytime the police try to do an end run around the Constitution, said Thomas Nolan, a former Boston police lieutenant who now teaches criminology at Boston University. The police have restrictions on their authority and ability to conduct searches. The Constitution was written with a very specific intent, and that was to keep the law out of private homes unless there is a written document signed by a judge and based on probable cause. Here, you don't have that. Critics said they worry that some residents will be too intimidated by a police presence on their doorstep to say no to a search. Our biggest concern is the notion of informed consent, said Amy Reichbach, a racial justice advocate at the American Civil Liberties Union. People might not understand the implications of weapons being tested or any contraband being found. But Davis said the point of the program, dubbed Safe Homes, is to make streets safer, not to incarcerate people. This isn't evidence that we're going to present in a criminal case, said Davis, who met with community leaders yesterday to get feedback on the program. This is a seizing of a very dangerous object. . . . I understand people's concerns about this, but the mothers of the young men who have been arrested with firearms that I've talked to are in a quandary, he said. They don't know what to do when faced with the problem of dealing with a teenage boy in possession of a firearm. We're giving them an option in that case. But some activists questioned whether the program would reduce the number of weapons on the street. A criminal whose gun is seized can quickly obtain another, said Jorge Martinez, executive director of Project Right, who Davis briefed on the program earlier this week. There is still an individual who is an impact player who is not going to change because you've taken the gun from the household, he said. The program will focus on juveniles 17 and younger and is modeled on an effort started in 1994 by the St. Louis Police Department, which stopped the program in 1999 partly because funding ran out. Police said they will not search the homes of teenagers they suspect have been involved in shootings or homicides and who investigators are trying to prosecute. In a case where we have investigative leads or there is an impact player that we know has been involved in serious criminal activity, we will pursue investigative leads against them and attempt to get into that house with a search warrant, so we can hold them accountable, Davis said.

The test, which identifies drugs such as methamphetamine, morphine and cocaine, could help public health officials identify high-risk communities and develop preventive drug-use measures. This assessment method could also eliminate reliance on surveys and personal information such as medical and criminal records. âThis approach provides information at the community level and not at the individual level in order to obtain useful information that does not raise concerns about individual privacy,â said lead researcher Jennifer Field, an environmental chemist at Oregon State University. Field and her colleagues take samples at the point where wastewater enters a treatment plant, also known as the influent. Influent of treatment plants is flow-normalizedâmeaning flow variation is controlled by holding wastewater in a tank before it enters the plant. This helps achieve a nearly constant flow rate at all times. â[This] enables us to capture the concentrations of illicit drugs over a 24-hour period for the community or portion of a municipality served by wastewater treatment plants,â Field told LiveScience. Once the information is gathered, the sampling data will be entered into a geographic information system (GIS) database that also includes spatial statistics on drug poisoning incidents and fatalities. âThese spatial data will be analyzed to determine whether there is a spatial correlation between wastewater measurements and incidents relating to methamphetamine throughout the state,â Field said. âIn addition, parallel analyses will be conducted for other substances.â âThese data may also be useful in assessing the effectiveness of interventions, through prospective monitoring and the assessment of temporal clusters over time,â she added. Field and her team have conducted preliminary tests in 10 cities around the nation and are currently working in the lab to refine the technique for extremely low concentrations, on the order of billionths of a gram per liter.

The Gilpin County Sheriff's Office was hit with complaints earlier this week from motorists who say they were not properly informed of the nature of the stops and felt that they were non-voluntary. One Undersheriff even described the procedure as like a telemarketer that you couldn't hang up on,. The Denver post reported on the incident earlier this week: Sgt. Bob Enney said deputies assisted the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation in stopping motorists at five sites along Colorado 119 for surveys on any drug and alcohol use. Surveyors then asked the motorists to voluntarily submit to tests of their breath, blood and saliva. At least 200 drivers were tested, Enney said. About five motorists later complained, he said. The research is reportedly part of a nationwide study partly financed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Some motorists told the Post that they repeatedly asked if the questioners were law enforcement officials and after stating that they were not interested in participating in the study, were still not given clearance to leave. Describing the surveyors as being dressed in blue jumpsuits, others stated that they were too persistent and even offered $100 incentives to motorists in an attempt to get them to change their minds after they had declined to take part in the survey. Some even said that the surveyors then ridiculed the motorists for not taking the money. In recent years police have moved towards taking blood samples as they cannot be challenged where as breath tests can. As this report from the Wall Street journal explains: In the past, police routinely asked suspected drunk drivers to blow into devices that extrapolated their blood's alcohol content from their breath. Now, authorities in most states are taking blood, by force if necessary. Laws in at least seven states allow police to take blood without the driver's consent, without explicitly authorizing force. In most other states, court rulings have authorized reasonable force to obtain blood. Many such rulings cite a little-known fact about driving laws in the U.S.: All motorists are considered to have consented to a search of their blood, breath or urine. Such implied consent laws were introduced in New York in 1953, and today all 50 states and the District of Columbia have them. Regular DUI checkpoints have increasingly come under scrutiny across the country with some judges ruling them unconstitutional and illegal. Lawmakers have also challenged checkpoints and introduced bills to outlaw them. Rep. Charlene Lima, of Cranston, who sponsored a 2005 bill, said the checkpoints violate people's civil rights, and smack of a police state. The American Civil Liberties Union also opposes checkpoints. The Constitution of the United States states that police cannot stop someone and conduct an investigation unless there are articulable facts. Within the language of the 4th Amendment DUI checkpoints constitute a seizure. Despite these facts the MADD maintains the following on its website: MYTH: Sobriety checkpoints constitute illegal search and seizure and are, therefore, unconstitutional. MYTH: People don't like the use of sobriety checkpoints to detect and deter impaired drivers. They consider them a form of police harassment and an invasion of their privacy. While the blatant violation of the constitution continues with regular checkpoints however, it cannot be argued that it is legal for local officials to allow private companies to stop motorists in seemingly enforced situations. In other instances police have been caught putting signs up warning drivers of upcoming DUI checkpoints where in fact there are none and then detaining and searching drivers who make illegal u-turns or desperately fling contraband from their vehicles. It is now the norm to consider everybody equally likely to be guilty of something than innocent. This is proactive policing, not preventative or reactive policing. And the worrying thing is that this kind of policing is more widely indicative of a society that is NOT free. If
Re: [cia-drugs] Leaked Red Cross report sets up Bush team for international war-crimes trial

While the Democratic Congress has yet to begin a serious investigation into what many European legislators already know about American war crimes, a particularly telling report by the International Committee of the Red Cross has been leaked that would surely figure prominently in such a potential Nuremberg trial. The Red Cross itself is bound to public silence concerning the results of its human-rights probes of prisons around the worldor else governments wouldn't let them in. But The New Yorker's Jane Mayer has sources who have seen accounts of the Red Cross interviews with inmates formerly held in CIA secret prisons. In The Black Sites (August 13, The New Yorker), Mayer also reveals the effect on our torturers of what they doon the orders of the presidentto protect American values. She quotes a former CIA officer: When you cross over that line of darkness, it's hard to come back. You lose your soul. You can do your best to justify it, but . . . you can't go back to that dark a place without it changing you. Few average Americans have been changed, however, by what the CIA does in our name. Blame that on the tight official secrecy that continues over how the CIA extracts information. On July 20, the Bush administration issued a new executive order authorizing the CIA to continue using these techniqueswithout disclosing anything about them. If we, the people, are ultimately condemned by a world court for our complicity and silence in these war crimes, we can always try to echo those Germans who claimed not to know what Hitler and his enforcers were doing. But in Nazi Germany, people had no way of insisting on finding out what happened to their disappeared neighbors. We, however, have the right and the power to insist that Congress discover and reveal the details of the torture and other brutalities that the CIA has been inflicting in our name on terrorism suspects. Only one congressman, Oregon's Democratic senator Ron Wyden, has insisted on probing the legality of the CIA's techniquesso much so that Wyden has blocked the appointment of Bush's nominee, John Rizzo, from becoming the CIA's top lawyer. Rizzo, a CIA official since 2002, has said publicly that he didn't object to the Justice Department's 2002 torture memos, which allowed the infliction of pain unless it caused such injuries as organ failure . . . or even death. (Any infliction of pain up to that point was deemed not un-American.) Mr. Rizzo would make a key witness in any future Nuremberg trial. As Jane Mayer told National Public Radio on August 6, what she found in the leaked Red Cross report, and through her own extensive research on our interrogators (who are cheered on by the commander in chief), is a top-down-controlled, mechanistic, regimented program of abuse that was signed off onat the White House, reallyand then implemented at the CIA from the top levels all the way down. . . . They would put people naked for up to 40 days in cells where they were deprived of any kind of light. They would cut them off from any sense of what time it was or . . . anything that would give them a sense of where they were. She also told of the CIA interrogation of Abu Zubaydah, who was not only waterboarded (a technique in which he was made to feel that he was about to be drowned) but also kept in . . . a small cage, about one meter [39.7 inches] by one meter, in which he couldn't stand up for a long period of time.

Hit the Streets http://www.strike911.org/ Michael Collins Originally Published in Scoop Independent Media Washington, D.C. A general strike is proposed for the United States on September11, 2007, the sixth anniversary of the 9/11/2001 attacks on New York City and Arlington, Virginia. The general strike movement has no clearly named leadership. Its described as an Internet viral effort. Wikipedia defines viral efforts on the Internet as: An object (or an idea) is viral when it has the ability to spread copies of itself or change other similar objects to become more like (it) when those objects are simply exposed to the viral object. General strikes, more common in Europe, are events that shut down the normal operations of a city, state, or nation for a period of time. These strikes aim to force awareness and action on a single issue or broader set of concerns. The 9/11/07 General Strike has a central location - http://www.strike911.org/ - on the Internet, which is linked to and reproduced on a variety of other internet sites. The site states the rationale for the effort: The General Strike is a national call to action, from citizens to other citizens. It is not about a single issue. It is not an anti-war protest, a civil rights protest, an election fraud protest. It is not about torture, surveillance, corporate media, the 9/11 coverup, or the environment. This strike is about all these issues and more. We all have different concerns, but we all have the same concern: we are being lied to and this government does not represent us. Join other Americans in demanding truth, justice, and accountability. This is our country. And our world. We just have to stand up. A National Call to Action: Tuesday, September 11th, 2007 No school. No work. Buy nothing. Hit the streets (Click ABOUT) LOCK DOWN USA NO Answers (to anything) The strike targets key issues facing the American public, issues that have not been addressed in any meaningful way by any branch of government. These include enduring questions and inconsistencies about 911, the Iraq War; violations of civil rights; and election fraud. As the statement above indicates! , one ke y means of the coverup is the corporate media. Citizen discontent with 911 has been expressed in a number of public opinion polls. One of the most shocking surveyed citizens of New York City. The little reported August, 2004 Zogby Poll found that Half of New Yorkers Believe US Leaders Had Foreknowledge of Impending 9-11 Attacks and Consciously Failed. National surveys also show substantial skepticism about the efforts of US Leaders. Other concerns of the strike include areas of strong public skepticism. As of August, 2007, 64% of Americans oppose the Iraq War and a majority says it should never have happened in the first place. Massive violations of civil rights are occurring with the aid of the U.S. Department of Justice, as reported by its former voting rights head. Confidence in the legitimacy of the Bush government has been voiced in polls in Pennsylvania and in a national sample of registered voters. Both Zogby polls showed that tens of millions of Americans have little faith in the fairness and results of the 2004 presidential election. Reflecting the disquiet of the American public, Bush popularity is in free fall. As low as 26% approval in recent polls, his decline has been steady and unending since the peak after the 9/11 attacks (with an odd spike on Election Day 2004). The strike campaign argues that these and other issues rarely covered in any depth by nearly all of the corporate media leave only one move for citizens - a general strike to protest the policies plus the lack of recognition and response.

Miller, TomPaine.com. Posted May 7, 2007. Recent news reports state that global warming and the shrinking Arctic icecaps are opening new sea lanes and making barren islands suddenly very valuable. In fact, the international community might experience a new race of exploration, conquest and acquisition for this new world -- these newly available lands and sea routes. Conflicts could arise over shipping lanes, islands, fish stocks, minerals and oil that are now becoming accessible and commercially exploitable. Governments are even now engaged in asserting their sovereignty over these areas and assets. Canada, Denmark and the United States are already involved in diplomatic disputes over these issues. For example, Canada and Denmark have sent diplomats and warships to plant their flags on tiny Hans Island near northwestern Greenland. In 1984, Denmark's Minister for Greenland Affairs landed on the island in a helicopter and raised the Danish flag, buried a bottle of brandy, and left a note that said Welcome to the Danish Island. Canada was not amused by this assertion of Danish sovereignty. In 2005, the Canadian Defense Minister and troops landed on the island and hoisted the Canadian flag. Denmark lodged an official protest. In addition, Canada, Russia and Denmark are claiming waters all the way to the North Pole. Moreover, the United States and Canada are disputing Canadian claims that the emerging Northwest Passage sea route is in its territory. The U.S. insists the waters are neutral and open to all but Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper states that he will place military icebreakers in the area to assert our sovereignty and take action to protect our territorial integrity. This kind of conduct is nothing new. It mirrors exactly the actions taken by European and American governments in the 15th -- 20th centuries in their race to claim the lands and the assets of the New World of the Americas, Africa, and other areas. That race was conducted under the international legal principle known today as the Doctrine of Discovery. Under various papal bulls, Spain and Portugal could establish claims to the lands of indigenous, non-Christian, non-European peoples by merely discovering the lands. Spanish, Portuguese, and later English and French explorers engaged in numerous types of Discovery rituals upon encountering new lands. The hoisting of their flag and the cross and leaving evidence that they had been there was part of the Discovery process. In 1776-78, for example, Captain Cook established English claims to British Columbia by leaving English coins in buried bottles. In 1774, he erased Spanish marks of ownership and possession in Tahiti and replaced them with English ones. Upon learning of this, Spain dispatched explorers to restore its marks of possession. Furthermore, in 1742-49, French military expeditions buried lead plates throughout the Ohio country to reassert the French claims of discovery dating from 1643. The plates stated that they were a renewal of possession. Americans also engaged in discovery rituals. The Lewis Clark expedition marked and branded trees and rocks in the Pacific Northwest to prove the American presence and claim to the region. They also left a memorial or memo at Fort Clatsop in March 1806 and gave copies to Indians to deliver to any whites that might arrive to prove the U.S. presence and claim to the Northwest. The memorial stated that its object was that through the medium of some civilized person ... it may be made known to the informed world that Lewis Clark had crossed the continent and lived at the mouth of the Columbia River on the Pacific Ocean. This was nothing less than a claim of discovery and possession of the region and a claim of ownership under the Doctrine of Discovery. A decade later, as the U.S. and England argued over the Pacific Northwest and the possession of Fort Astoria at the mouth of the Columbia, Secretary of State John Quincy Adams and President James Monroe took actions based directly upon the principles of Discovery. In 1817, as they despaired that England would voluntarily return Fort Astoria, Adams and Monroe ordered an American diplomat and naval captain
Re: [cia-drugs] Immigrants Used to Justify a Homeland Security Police State
I am against the Bush/globalist police state. But it is Bush who is pushing these illegal and legal immigrants on us all the time. We already have more unemployed and homeless citizens than we need, yet we do have 12,000,000 illegals and other legal immigrants without jobs. Contrary to almost every assertion, the immigrants are stealing EVERYONE'S JOBS and lowering the living standards and labor conditions of EVERY AMERICAN WORKER. For instance, Ireland has a minimum wage level that is THREE DOLLARS HIGHER THAN THE US'. YET THEY BUDGET $1,000,000 DOLLARS A YEAR TO LOBBY OUR CONGRESS ON BEHALF OF ILLEGAL IRISH ALIENS, WHO NUMBER 50,000. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. AND NOT A POLICE STATE, BUT A DEPARTURE OF ALL ILLEGALS, AND A DRASTIC CUTBACK IN THE NUMBER OF LEGAL IMMIGRANTS. norgesen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Immigrants Used to Justify a Homeland Security Police State by Prof. Peter Phillips Global Research, April 23, 2007 Project Censored Threats of terrorism and twelve million illegal immigrants are being used to justify new police-state measures in the United States. Coordinated mass arrests, big brother spy blimps, expanded detention centers, repeal of the Posse Comitatus Act, and suspension of habeas corpus have all been recently implemented and are ready to use against anyone in the US. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) flooded Mexico with cheap subsidized US agricultural products that displaced millions of Mexican farmers. Between 2000 and 2005, Mexico lost 900,000 rural jobs and 700,000 industrial jobs, resulting in deep unemployment throughout the country. Desperate poverty has forced millions of Mexican workers north in order to feed their families. In the wake of 9/11, Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) has conducted workplace and home invasions across the country in an attempt to roundup illegal immigrants. ICE justifies these raids under the rubric of keeping our homeland safe and preventing terrorism. However the real goal of these actions is to disrupt the immigrant work force in the US and replace it with a tightly regulated non-union guest-worker program. This policy is endorsed by companies seeking permanent low-wage workers through a lobby group called Essential Worker Immigrations Coalition (EWIC). EWICs fifty-two members include the US Chamber of Commerce, Wal Mart, Marriott, Tyson Foods, American Meat Institute, California Landscape Contractors Association, and the Association of Builders and Contractors. A new program, established by the Department of Justice in cooperation with Homeland Security, uses the code-name Operation Falcon (Federal and Local Cops Organized Nationally). Operation Falcon carried out three unprecedented federally-coordinated mass arrests between April 2005 and October 2006. More than 30,000 fugitives, including immigrants, were arrested in the largest dragnets in the nation's history. The operations directly involved over 960 agencies including FBI, ICE, IRS, Homeland Security and other federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. To accommodate the detention of tens of thousands of people, Homeland Security, in 2005, awarded Halliburtons subsidiary KBR a $385 million contingency contract to build detention camps in the United States. According to the Halliburton website, The contract provides for establishing temporary detention and processing capabilities to augment existing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Detention and Removal Operations (DRO) Program facilities in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the US, or to support the rapid development of new programs. Other new police-state programs include U.S. government contracting with Lockheed-Martin to design and develop enormous unmanned airships, seventeen times the size of the Goodyear blimp, outfitted with high-resolution cameras to spy on the Mexican border. The airships are designed to float 12 miles above the earth, far above planes and weather systems. The high-resolution camera will watch over a circle of countryside 600 miles in diameter and could be moved to spy on any region of the US. The programs described above combined with two recent changes in US law make the reality of a full police-state in the US increasingly more feasible. The Military Commissions Act signed October of 2006 suspends habeas corpus rights for any person deemed by the President to be an enemy combatant. Persons so designated could be imprisoned indefinitely without rights to legal counsel or a trial. And the Defense Authorization Act of 2007 allows the president to station troops anywhere in America and take control of state-based National Guard units without the consent of the governor or local authorities. By revising the two-century-old Insurrection Act, the law in effect repeals the Posse Comitatus Act and gives the US

This article really points towards an international fascist conspiracy against the majority of the people of the West by Bush and his minions.

Mail for Mobile and always stay connected to friends.---BeginMessage--- http://www.waynemadsenreport.com/ March 19, 2007 -- Democratic Party sources have reported to WMR that Karl Rove and a team of Republican Party election manipulators he has used in the past for tampering with U.S. elections, particularly in Florida, Ohio, and New Mexico, are under investigation by the Italian government of Prime Minister Romano Prodi and the opposition Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) of Mexico. The sources report that investigators are looking at alleged technical and strategic advice given by Rove and GOP election tampering consultants to Silvio Berlusconi's government, particularly the arch-neo-cons in the Berlusconi Cabinet -- then Interior Minister Beppe Pisanu and Foreign Minister Ginafranco Fini. Although polls before the April 2006 election indicated that Prodi's Center-Left coalition was far ahead of Berlusconi's right-wing/neo-fascist alliance and exit polls also indicated a large Center-Left win, Prodi squeaked by with a mere 0.1 percent of the vote. Our sources claim that Rove and his Italian counterparts severely miscalculated in their planning for tampering with the Italian election returns. Rove and his advisers forgot to include the expatriate Italian vote in their calculations. The 2006 national elections were the first in which Italians abroad were allowed to vote and by failing to calculate those votes, Berlusconi lost by a hair, despite the vote counting fraud that reportedly also included siphoning blank protest votes to the Berlusconi column. Similarly, PRD officials are also looking at Rove and his team's involvement in providing election tampering assistance to conservative National Action Party (PAN) candidate Felipe Calderon in last July's Mexico presidential election. Calderon beat PRD candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador by a razor-thin 0.6 percent. However, as with Italy, pre-election polls and exit polls showed the PRD candidate with a commanding lead. Ballot boxes were found in garbage dumps in pro-PRD precincts. In addition, votes for the PRD were either shaved from the total count and some precincts were not even counted. Some of the financial support for Republican interference in the Italian and Mexican elections may have been laundered through the U.S. taxpayer-funded National Endowment for Democracy, which, in turn, funds the International Republican Institute (IRI), an arm of the Republican Party. The IRI has been involved in funding election campaigns in Venezuela against Hugo Chavez and in Haiti against Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Rove now under investigation for election fraud by Italian and Mexican officials. Is an INTERPOL Red Notice for Rove in the offing? Italian government and PRD officials have been in direct contact with Democratic Party election experts concerning the suspected international vote fraud committed by the GOP and Rove. If Rove is asked to testify in Italy about his contacts with Berlusconi government officials and refuses, he will have more than U.S. congressional subpoenas to worry about -- he could be faced with an INTERPOL Red Notice, a international arrest warrant recognized by INTERPOL member states.

1. Let's make Drug Education REAL education. No more selectively stupid drug myths passed into prohibitionist legislation fantasies: the TRUE value of all drugs must be passed on to the people. All Dangerous substances must undergo a complete review, right from the beginning, because the malignancy of the prohibitionists has poisoned our drug laws, which must be revised and cleaned up. Unbiased citizens committees must be formed to petition Congress to rewrite drug laws, and to evaluate these drugs. 2. Legislation must be based on number one, above.

The 2005 Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) report found that ER visits for nonmedical use rose sharply even though overall drug-related emergency-room visits were stable. ER visits arising from nonmedical use of pharmaceuticals rose from 495,732 in 2004 to 598,452 in 2005, the report said. By comparison, cocaine-related visits totaled 448,481, which lead all illicit drugs. (DAWN does not comprehensively track alcohol-related ER visits.) The typical ER visit arose from use of multiple drugs, according to the DAWN report. Visits involving methadone rose 29 percent, followed by prescription pain relievers (up 24 percent) and anti-anxiety medications (up 19 percent). The DAWN study showed that 31 percent of drug-related ER visits involved illicit drugs only, while 27 percent involved pharmaceuticals only. The report found 1.4 million drug-related ER visits in 2005, out of a total of 108 million ER visits to U.S. hospitals. SAMHSA Administrator Terry Cline, Ph.D., said that ER visits provide an opportunity to intervene with drug users and refer them to counseling or other help.

Wanted the opinion of a Harvard Medical School Graduate, a former co-chair of the American Heart Association's Women and Heart Disease committee and a frequently published author and lecturer. This is what I found out: Anyone who smokes cannabis, even those that are doing it for pain, are taking an additional health risk in that it will increase the heart rate about 45% on average in the first hour after smoking. Thus a normal heart rate of 70 may increase to about 100. This increases labor and thus oxygen demand (or oxygen need) on the heart muscle. If your heart is already fighting CAD depriving it of additional oxygen it could have serious consequences. So some heart patients it may do nothing to and for others it could be quite risky. So, why take the risk? It would be like taking up cigarettes, eating fatty foods and sitting on the couch and hoping that by taking a risk nothing will happen again. A diagnosed CAD patient must do everything that will help them fight the disease. Most people with heart issues concentrate on how hard their heart needs to work and how much oxygen is getting to it.

[cia-drugs] PIMP MY VOTE
The headlines in the New York Post scream Treason! at those Congresspeople who dare confront the President over his illegal and criminal war in Iraq. Its obvious what role the newspaper is playing, that of the collaborationist Amen Corner, or claque which cheerleads on this bloody and fascist game. We have other such claques in other places. Take Hillary Clinton, who recently stated that she deferred to the President in casting her vote for making war on Iraq. She was joined by the VAST majority of Democrats, who were all proven to be dupes of the neo-fascist Republican majority by subsequent events or non-events. What is really discouraging is that this same collaborationist, fascist-facilitating crew, is now in charge of our cannabis laws. You really cannot tell the majority of them from the fascists, and what strikes one is just how many of the pro-illegal-war crowd are also the pro-prohibitionists liars and backstabbers that are killing us, torturing us, and imprisoning us innocent cannabis users. We all know who they are, so the folks pimping the new Democrats can just stop talking. Clinton is just the obvious example. Deferring to the President? Why not just let him cast the vote, Hill? We saw this again and again over the last six years regarding the Iraq war, and for the last 70 years regarding the phoney and fascistic War on Drugs. Time and time again, the Democrats, masquerading as an anti-Republican alternative, voted AGAIN and AGAIN, and AGAIN to find newer and MORE phoney reasons to kill us, torture us, and imprison us and take away our families. IT'S GOT TO STOP, NOW The New Democrats have had their hundred days. We see them busily at work all over the country in City and County Councils, State Legislatures, and the Congress dreaming up yet more ways to lie about us and kill us. They aren't fixing anything. They're fronting for the Republicans! Still! The Democratic Party is riddled and infested with Prohibitionists from top to bottom, chewing at the Constitutional basis of our American freedoms like some kind of vicious giant termites, waiting for the house to collapse so they can feast on the rubble. Bush and his crew should have been hoisted up a lamp pole 4 years ago for the Patriot Act alone. We have instead lost a whole DIVISION of soldiers as KIAs since then, only to find that the whole affair was an evil sham of a war. Our allies have deserted us in the kindest manner possible considering the state of events which has transpired since. Our population is terrorised into accepting idiot fascist headlines such as grace today's New York Post, and throwing away the whole scheme of rights and liberties which used to separate them from the Ba'athist's the Nazi's, and the Communist's victims. These non-partisan leaders have turned us into a huddled mass of shivering, snivelling cowards. But the Democrats sit and play paddy cake with the obviously criminal Republican leadership, while we are getting killed, tortured and imprisoned more and more by the minute!

Vigilius Haufniensis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://www.uruknet.de/?p=m28790 Neither Civil War Nor Sectarian Violence. It's Ethnic Cleansing Before the Partition of Iraq Hassan El-Najjar, Al-Jazeerah December 6, 2006 For more than three years, US politicians and journalists have been using the term violence to refer to the war between US occupation forces and Iraqi resistance groups. During the first half of 2006, they started using the term sectarian violence to refer to attacks conducted by perpetrators, who are described as Shi'is (they use the derogatory term Shiite) or Sunnis. During the second half of 2006, some of them started wondering whether the war in Iraq is sectarian violence or civil war. After the Republican defeat in midterm Congressional elections, more voices dared finally to describe the US war in Iraq as civil war. Whether the terms used are violence, sectarian violence, or civil war, the goal is distracting the American people and the world from the truth. What has been going on in Iraq from day one of the illegal US invasion of Iraq, in March 2003, has been an Iraqi resistance to the US invasion and occupation. It is very simple but US politicians and journalists are still playing dumb. They want to say it is anything but resistance to the foreign invasion. The French resisted the German invasion during WWII. The Vietnamese resisted the US invasion in the 1960s and the 1970s. The Palestinians have been resisting the Israeli invasion and occupation since 1948, and particularly since 1967. The danger on Iraq and the United States is represented by the illegal US invasion and occupation of Iraq, not by the resistance to the occupation. In 2003, Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction. It didn't have links with Alqaeda (the two official reasons the Bush administration used to justify its illegal invasion of Iraq). The whole world now knows that the real reasons were benefits for the military industry, oil industry and Israel. The US occupation of Iraq is wrong and illegal. Correcting it is by ending it, not by inventing new excuses to stay in that country and fight the war by proxies. Apparently, the new shift to the term of civil war is another spin to justify staying in Iraq until victory, which is apparently dividing the country into better-controlled three mini states: Kurdish North, Shi'i South, and Sunni Middle. The battles raging in Baghdad everyday are nothing but ethnic cleansing to drive Shi'is and Sunnis to specific areas suitable to the partition. If Democrats are truly different from Republicans in Congress, then they should stop the ongoing ethnic cleansing now. The question is how can they do that? Simply, the perpetrators are mainly the Shi'i militias of Badr and Mahdi Army, together with the police death squads of the Interior Ministry. All of these belong to the US-backed ruling Shi'i alliance. They are on the US payroll. The US is in direct control over the Iraqi armed forces, including those of the Interior Ministry. The US is also in indirect control over the Shi'i militias because of its backing of the ruling Shi'i alliance. The Democratic Congress has to press and scrutinize the Bush administration to stop the campaign of ethnic cleansing, perpetrated by the US-backed Shi'i ruling alliance. Only then, the process of the partition of Iraq can be stopped. Otherwise, we'll be witnessing just the first few years of sixty years of global war (as Wolfowitz said once) perpetrated by the US and its NATO allies to control the planet and its resources. All indicators show that the US will be the loser in such permanent war, as the national debt deepens ($8.7 Trillion right now), and as the resistance from the invaded nations becomes stronger. Actually, the US global rivals, such as China and Russia, will be waiting for the right moment to provide invaded nations with military support, just like they did in Vietnam, to make sure that the US-led NATO alliance does not win. Is this what Americans want? Wars, death, destruction, and hostility? If the answer is No, then, ethnic cleansing in Iraq must be stopped now, before it is too late, when the Shi'i militias and Interior Ministry death squads no longer listen to US commanders. What about the purported Sunni groups (Ba'athist resistance, Alqaeda, Islamic resistance, etc.)? Who's going to control them? Are they going to stop fighting? Simple answer: Resistance by definition is a reaction to the invasion and occupation of a nation. When the US occupation of Iraq ends, the resistance ends too. Period. *** Yesterday, the London-based Arabic newspaper, Al-Quds Al-Arabi, published

Instead please use the above link. Thank You Oakland County, Michigan, NORML for making the videos available. The following was posted to an Oregon list, DPFOR, without attribution. It was written by Greg Francisco. We now share it with all of you: The hearing room was full and overflowing into the hallway when the Michigan House of Representatives Committee on Government Operations was called to order Tuesday, Nov 28th to hear public comment on HB5470, the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act. And at least half of the attendees, 30 or more, sported large buttons demanding the Legislature stop arresting medical marijuana patients. Most of the others filling the gallery were representing news media outlets from around the state. Despite the fact that HB5470 is destined to die a quick death in the four week lame duck session of the Michigan Legislature, this hearing was widely regarded as an important step in moving medical marijuana closer and closer into the mainstream. This was the first Michigan legislative hearing on the topic in at least 20 years. Co-leader of the Flint Medical Marijuana initiative already certified to appear on the Feb '07 city ballot, Charles Snyder III, his wife Shelby daughter Nevaeh show their support for HB5470 before the hearing was called to order. Representative Drolet, (R, Macomb Township), well known for his libertarian leanings chaired the meeting. He first called Tim Beck, Executive Director of Michigan NORML and the architect of the successful Detroit Compassionate Care Committee's 2004 measure legalizing medical marijuana in that city. Tim introduced the proposed bill and pointed out that it was actually quite conservative in nature. It would be limited in scope to include only severely disabling diseases falling into several narrow categories. Tim also briefly touched on several other conservative hot buttons like small government and reducing taxes before concluding his opening remarks in preparation for the impressive slate of witnesses prepared to testify. Before Tim could step away from the rostrum however, Representative Sheen, (R, Plainwell) addressed one question to Tim that quickly proceeded, through a series of leading, follow-up questions, to the conclusion that people using medical marijuana are not being arrested in Michigan. The state is deterred from doing so because they don't want to pick up the tab for medical care. Representative Sheen then went on to relate that his brother had used marijuana to relieve the symptoms of AIDS. It was the Representatives opinion, based on his brother's experience, that anyone who wants to use marijuana already can with little fear of arrest. The police invariably exercise their discretion and show sound judgment by not arresting medical marijuana users anyway. So why change the law? He then went on express his fear of the slippery slope. Medical marijuana for cancer patients now, what's next Representative Sheen asked, medical marijuana for hang nails? It just wasn't worth changing the laws and then risking unintended consequences or opening the gateway. His brother had assured him that sick people just don't get arrested for using marijuana. If only all medical marijuana users were so fortunate as to have a brother who is a State Representative. Representative Hoogendyk, (R, Portage) next expressed his fear of doctor shopping. What would stop someone from going from doctor to doctor until finding a quack who would write a recommendation where it was not warranted? What if one doctor set up a recommendation mill, churning out medical marijuana recommendations willy-nilly? He seemed to feel the Legislature needed to exert oversight on this matter rather than professional boards. He also questioned HB5470 because it made no provision for how patients would obtain their medicine. Since
[cia-drugs] The Elections
Dear Friends; The elections are on us for Congress once again as well as some state seats. I would like to ask everyone to vote for ONLY CANDIDATES WHO HAVE TAKEN A POSITIVE, PUBLIC STAND IN FAVOR OF LEGALIZING CANNABIS. There are going to be party operatives who will tell you such a vote is wasted, and that their "Mainstream" party is the only one that counts. THIS IS NONSENSE. THE ONLY CANDIDATE WHO COUNTS FOR CANNABIS ACTIVISTS IS THE ONE WHO REPRESENTS THEM PUBLICLY WITHOUT DELAY OR SHAME. "Democratic" candidates in particular, are guilty of subterfuges in order to lure our electorate into voting for them. But time and time again, they have deceived us and stabbed us in the back. Their efforts have resulted in more cannabis consumers being imprisoned, tortured, and murdered by the prohibitionist scum than ever before. How can we vote for them again and not be ashamed to look in a mirror? Of course we know perfectly well that there is not a single Republican candidate worth voting for, and I am sure that none ofus will vote for any of them. THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE HAVE TO VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS WHO SELL US OUT. There ARE some Democrats who have done the right thing, and taken a stand in support of both medical and recreational cannabis' legalization. I say support them, if they are supportable in regards to other issues. But I would rather my friends and I vote for ourselves for every office on the ballotrather than sell out one more time to a Democrat who is too cowardly to take a correct stand. There are plenty of Marijuana party candidates around. Ed Forchion in New Jersey is surely a standout in my mind. He has long advocated legalization with both force and with style, no holds barred. But across the country, more and more Libertarian and other minor party candidates are speaking up us. Vote for them before anyone else. Thank you.

The total is the highest ever recorded by the FBI, and comprised 42.6 percent of all drug arrests in the United States. These numbers belie the myth that police do not target and arrest minor marijuana offenders, said NORML Executive Director Allen St. Pierre, who noted that at current rates, a marijuana smoker is arrested every 40 seconds in America. This effort is a tremendous waste of criminal justice resources that diverts law enforcement personnel away from focusing on serious and violent crime, including the war on terrorism. Of those charged with marijuana violations, approximately 88 percent some 696,074 Americans were charged with possession only. The remaining 90,471 individuals were charged with sale/manufacture, a category that includes all cultivation offenses even those where the marijuana was being grown for personal or medical use. In past years, roughly 30 percent of those arrested were age 19 or younger. Present policies have done little if anything to decrease marijuana's availability or dissuade youth from trying it, St. Pierre said, noting young people in the U.S. now frequently report that they have easier access to pot than alcohol or tobacco. The total number of marijuana arrests in the U.S. for 2005 far exceeded the total number of arrests in the U.S. for all violent crimes combined, including murder, manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault. Annual marijuana arrests have more than doubled since the early 1990s. Arresting hundreds of thousands of Americans who smoke marijuana responsibly needlessly destroys the lives of otherwise law abiding citizens, St. Pierre said, adding that over 8 million Americans have been arrested on marijuana charges in the past decade. During this same time, arrests for cocaine and heroin have declined sharply, implying that increased enforcement of marijuana laws is being achieved at the expense of enforcing laws against the possession and trafficking of more dangerous drugs. St. Pierre concluded: Enforcing marijuana prohibition costs taxpayers between $10 billion and $12 billion annually and has led to the arrest of nearly 18 million Americans. Nevertheless, some 94 million Americans acknowledge having used marijuana during their lives. It makes no sense to continue to treat nearly half of all Americans as criminals for their use of a substance that poses no greater - and arguably far fewer - health risks than alcohol or tobacco. A better and more sensible solution would be to tax and regulate cannabis in a manner similar to alcohol and tobacco.

[cia-drugs] Re: [CPOP] US AK: Judge Alters Marijuana Law
This is obviously NOT what the voters in Alaska want, nor what the Alaska Supreme Court decided in Ravin. It's silly to make possessing more than one ounce criminal: how can anyone obtain cannabis in quantities of one ounce or less? You get much more than that off one home-grown plant, and its obviously not commercially feasible to deal in quantities of one ounce or less. Therefore the new law must be attacked at amounts that are commeasurate with the old law. I'd personally like to see what the Alaska Dept. of Law presented as evidence concerning THC content in 1975 and today. I'm sure it was not measured back then, and people who bought then know that THC content varied widely from one deal to the next. So I'm sure the "Dept. of Law" is fabricating this evidence, no doubt with the help of the DEA.And isn't the Dept. of Law supposed to be ENFORCING the law, i.e. not challenging Ravin, which says that consumers can have large amounts at home? This shows you that this government agency feels that they have an organizational vested interest in not only challenging the law, but not enforcing it at all: their interest is in JAILING THEIR OWN LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS!!Richard Lake [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Newshawk: REVISED: How to Newshawk http://www.mapinc.org/hawk.htm Pubdate: Tue, 11 Jul 2006 Source: Anchorage Daily News (AK) Copyright: 2006 The Associated Press Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED]com Website: http://www.adn.com/ Details: http://www.mapinc.org/media/18 Author: Matt Volz, The Associated Press Referenced: The Alaska Supreme Court ruling - Ravin v.

State. In that case, the Supreme Court ruled the right to privacy in one's home included the possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use."Unless and until the Supreme Court directs otherwise, Ravin is the law in this state and this court is duty bound to follow that law," Collins wrote in her decision.Collins granted a summary judgment to the American Civil Liberties Union of Alaska, which sued the state when the law took effect in June.Collins limited her decision to possession of less than 1 ounce of marijuana, even though the new law increases penalties for possession of more than that amount. Before the law took effect in June, it had been legal in Alaska to possess up to 4 ounces of the drug.Collins said she limited her decision because the ACLU argued that the only issue in this case is the Legislature's power to regulate possession of small amounts of marijuana."No specific argument has been advanced in this case that possession of more than 1 ounce of marijuana, even within the privacy of the home, is constitutionally protected conduct under Ravin or that any plaintiff or ACLU of Alaska member actually possesses more than 1 ounce of marijuana in their homes," Collins wrote.The new law makes possession of 4 ounces or more a felony. Possession of 1 to 4 ounces is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail. The part the court ruled against was that less than 1 ounce would be a misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days in jail.The state Department of Law argued that new findings of marijuana's increased potency since the 1975 decision justify reconsidering the issue.

The sound bite of me that made the air was in response to the claim cannabis wasn't good medicine due to "unacceptable" side effects. I first pointed out what anyone who has had a script filled lately already knows--the pharmacist hands you not only yer bottle of pills but darn near a full length book listing potential side effects like kidney and liver failure, loss of hair and libido, unconciousness, even sudden death. Now contrast that with the side effects of cannabis--mild euphoria and a general sense of well being. Asked why allowing sick people to feel better is an "unacceptable" side effect?

[cia-drugs] Our government spies on us
Everyone should think about exactly what it means when George W. Bush bypasses the required judge-issued warrants for wiretaps on people's phones and computers. It's obvious that this man now thinks he is completely the law unto himself, and that NO ONE can limit his power. He thinks the Constitution is some sort of toilet paper which has no effect on his office whatsoever. He confuses himself with God. The important thing to remember is that WE ARE LETTING HIM GET AWAY WITH IT. Don't go on about how nothing can be done: YOU AND I ARE DOING NOTHING: WE, AS AMERICAN CITIZENS, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR FORMING THE RESISTANCE TO TYRANNY, AND WE EACH AND COLLECTIVELY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTINUATION OF DEMOCRACY AND THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE. BUSH MUST BE ELIMINATED. VOTED OUT, OR TOTED OUT. THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE. Let's ask what Bush can do now that he has acquired STASI-type powers: 1. No industrial secret is now safe from the government. Bush has said he can spy on anyone "in the interest of freedom." But who oversees him? The government can rip off any technological secrets from the internet or the phones, and cannot be called into account for it. No business can call itself safe from the government now. 2. Bush can now use private information gained from his eavesdropping to blackmail anyone. This especially includes REPUBLICANS, but runs to the entire nation as well. Are you a Republican who disagrees with Bush? Forget about public office. Bush will have the goods on you and your family. Same with the Demos, or anyone else for that matter. Soon the voice of all dissenters will be snuffed out, if not through eavesdropping and blackmail, then through "war necessity." 3. Bush has now said that he will go after whoever leaked the information that he was acting illegally in eavesdropping without the Constitutionally-required warrant. How can he go after anyone for reporting a crime? What will happen to the unfortunate who actually believed in the Constitution, and reported Bush to the press? Where is the freedom in this? He will now be able to go after ANYONE who supports the Constitution's limitation on Presidential power if he gets away with this. He obviously doesn't care a whit for the other branch of government or the Constitution: do you think he cares about your rights? 4. Bush has said he did this latest of his crimes because of the war. What war? The Iraq war is illegal, and the "War Against Terrorists" does not even have an identifiable enemy. Who are we fighting? Bush seems to think its his own countrymen, the ones that he is spying on. He says this spying has saved American lives? Which? There have scarcely been any arrests as a result of the Patriot Act, and even far less convictions resulting from those arrests. So why the phoney spy bit, Bush? 5. In East Germany, before it was freed of Soviet tyranny (by its own people's resistance, by the way) one out of 10 people was an informer for the STASI.Files were held on nearly everyone. Bush will likewise use his phone taps to blackmail people into becoming informers, just like STASI did in East Germany before 1989. Look for an increase in snitches, and state/government-sponsered domestic terrorism, and the resulting increase in torture and internment camps. When Bush goes after the leaker, he will not bother with the Court system, for which he already has proven he has complete disdain by the very fact that he evades the Constitutionally-required judicial warrants. Bush and the Justice Department will become the Court system. Goodbye fair trials, or even trials at all.

We had Wal-Mart deliver three trucks of water, trailer trucks of water. FEMA turned them back. They said we didn't need them. This was a week ago. FEMA--we had 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel on a Coast Guard vessel docked in my parish. The Coast Guard said, "Come get the fuel right away." When we got there with our trucks, they got a word. "FEMA says don't give you the fuel." Yesterday--yesterday--FEMA comes in and cuts all of our emergency communication lines. They cut them without notice. Our sheriff, Harry Lee, goes back in, he reconnects the line. He posts armed guards on our line and says, "No one is getting near these lines." Why would FEMA, an organization supposedly tasked with helping in a time of crisis, deliberately cut police communication lines? This is a blatant example of sabotage and a sick push to make the disaster worse. In carrying out these actions, FEMA are no better than the animals who shot at rescue workers and helicopters. Watch the video of the Meet the Press interview. The mission of FEMA has never in reality been to bring people food and water and help in times of crisis. Alex Jones has attended numerous FEMA drills where the whole point of the exercise is to round people up, break up families and institute a brutal police state crackdown. FEMA need to create a chaotic atmosphere in New Orleans so they can legitimize what they are doing. We now have multiple reports of police being ordered to guard key infrastructures in order to defend them from FEMA federal agents. Sheriffs in numerous different counties are guarding highways to keep FEMA out. FEMA is being treated as the enemy because they are sabotaging key facilities in an effort to intentionally worsen the already desperate scenes of horror in New Orleans. FEMA is sabotaging lines of communication so their activities cannot be exposed to the wider relief authorities and the media. Commenting on the sabotage by FEMA of communication lines, Washington insider Wayne Madsen states, "Jamming radio and other communications such as television signals is part of a Pentagon tactic called "information blockade" or "technology blockade." The tactic is one of a number of such operations that are part of the doctrine of "information warfare" and is one of the psychological operations (PSYOPS) methods used by the US Special Operations Command." Radio host Carol Baker who has been tracking the FEMA sabotage stated that Plaquemines Parish Sheriff Jeff Hingle had his deputies patrol the county line under orders not to let FEMA in. As is discussed in the Meet the Press interview, Jefferson Parish Sheriff Harry Lee also has armed guards patrolling the county line in order to prevent the FEMA sabotage. FEMA has a number of executive orders that outline the total federal takeover of any US city. For a full synopsis of FEMA's executive orders in light of the hurricane, click here. FEMA is clearly using this human catastrophe as a means of executing its decade long plans and providing the pretext for future takeover scenarios of all major American cities. Amongst a litany of government inaction and outright dereliction, this is the most alarming evidence to emerge yet that clearly indicates an agenda for the federal government to profit and expand its power from exploiting the aftermath of the hurricane.

Dusted Off Claim:Adolescents huffing cans of Dust-Off brand compressed air have died. Status: True. Example: [Collected on the Internet, 2005] Subject: (Compressed Air) DUST OFF - WARNING First I'm going to tell you a little about me and my family. My name is Jeff. I am a Police Officer for a city which is known nationwide for its crime rate. We have a lot of gangs and drugs. At one point we were # 2 in the nation in homicides per capita. I also have a police K-9 named Thor. He was certified in drugs and general duty. He retired at 3 years old because he was shot in the line of duty. He lives with us now and I still train with him because he likes it. I always liked the fact that there was no way to bring drugs into my house. Thor wouldn't allow it. He would tell on you. The reason I say this is so you understand that I know about drugs. I have taught in schools about drugs. My wife asks all our kids at least once a week if they used any drugs. Makes them promise they wont. I like building computers occasionally and started building a new one in February 2005. I also was working on some of my older computers. They were full of dust so on one of my trips to the computer store I bought a 3 pack of DUST OFF. Dust Off is a can of compressed air to blow dust off a computer. A few weeks later when I went to use them they were all used. I talked to my kids and my 2 sons both said they had used them on their computer and messing around with them. I yelled at them for wasting the 10 dollars I paid for them. On February 28 I went back to the computer store. They didn't have the 3 pack which I had bought on sale so I bought a single jumbo can of Dust Off. I went home and set it down beside my computer. On March 1st I left for work at 10 PM. At 11 PM my wife went down and kissed Kyle goodnight. At 530 am the next morning Kathy went downstairs to wake Kyle up for school, before she left for work. He was sitting up in bed with his legs crossed and his head leaning over. She called to him a few times to get up. He didn't move. He would sometimes tease her like this and pretend he fell back asleep. He was never easy to get up. She went in and shook his arm. He fell over. He was pale white and had the straw from the Dust Off can coming out of his mouth. He had the new can of Dust Off in his hands. Kyle was dead. I am a police officer and I had never heard of this. My wife is a nurse and she had never heard of this. We later found out from the coroner, after the autopsy, that only the propellant from the can of Dust off was in his system. No other drugs. Kyle had died between midnight and 1 Am. I found out that using Dust Off is being done mostly by kids ages 9 through 15. They even have a name for it. It's called dusting. A take off from the Dust Off name. It gives them a slight high for about 10 seconds. It makes them dizzy. A boy who lives down the street from us showed Kyle how to do this about a month before. Kyle showed his best friend. Told him it was cool and it couldn't hurt you. Its just compressed air. It cant hurt you. His best friend said no. Kyle's death Kyle was wrong. It's not just compressed air. It also contains a propellant. I think its R2. Its a refrigerant like what is used in your refrigerator. It is a heavy gas. Heavier than air. When you inhale it, it fills your lungs and keeps the good air, with oxygen, out. That's why you feel dizzy, buzzed. It decreases the oxygen to your brain, to your heart. Kyle was right. It cant hurt you. IT KILLS YOU. The horrible part about this is there is no warning. There is no level that kills you. It's not cumulative or an overdose; it can just go randomly, terribly wrong. Roll the dice and if your number comes up you die. ITS NOT AN OVERDOSE. Its Russian roulette. You don't die later. Or not feel good and say I've had too much.

The only justification for stoppingcitizens under a roadblock scenario is to warn them of an unseen peril thatcould cause injury or death to an unsuspecting motorist. So-called "sobrietycheck points," or seat belt checks, or the myriad of other excuses thegovernment concocts to harass and intimidate its citizens through the use ofroadblocks are, in our opinion unconstitutional and in direct contradictionto any honest definition of freedom. A free and open society that champions individual liberty and personalresponsibility---the kind of society we try to tell the world the USArepresents, cannot condone the arbitrary stopping, interrogating,intimidation and searching of citizens whose only crime is to be peacefullytraveling a public highway. Roadblocks, as used in the US, are designed andintended to use fear, intimidation, and inconvenience to expedite agovernment edict or a political agenda. They have a net zero influence onpublic safety. But, even if there were a "safety benefit" related toroadblocks, it would not outweigh the negative totalitarian nature of thispractice. Currently, roadblocks are being used to circumvent the need for probablecause to stop, interrogate, and search the occupants of motor vehicles. Thepretense might be a seatbelt check, registration or drivers licenseverification, proof of insurance, or a "safety" inspection. The shortsighted court system has readily approved the practice of using a trumped uppretence to stop a vehicle to provide new opportunities to look for otherviolations of the law. Given that it is virtually impossible to do anythingin America without violating one or more laws, especially while driving,roadblocks give the police the opportunity to abuse any individual or groupthey chose to target. The reincarnated prohibitionist movement has seized upon the roadblocktactic as a means to employ fear in their holy war against "Demon Rum." Manyof the current DWI laws have nothing to do with addressing drunk driving asa safety problem. This is a campaign to disparage the use of beveragescontaining alcohol and to undermine the hospitality industry that sellsthese beverages. (Time for a disclaimer, This site, nor the NMA have anyaffiliation with the beverage or hospitality industries.) The proponents of DWI roadblocks readily and publicly admit that the purposeof roadblocks is not to catch drunk drivers (which they seldom do). Thepurpose is to intimidate and to make people fearful of drinking anddriving---no matter how little or responsibly they may do so. This tactic isaimed directly at people who drink in a responsible manner and who are notover represented in traffic accidents. The advocates of DWI roadblocks alsoadmit that roadblocks do offer the opportunity to arrest people for drunkdriving who would not otherwise be arrested based on their ability to drivesafely. The unreasonable and unscientific blood alcohol standards of .1% orworse yet .08% allow the arrest and conviction as a drunk driver, regardlessof actual impairment. This absurdity is expanded by the use of roadblocks.

This morning we have the sad news to report that Mo Mowlam has died. She served in the Blair government during the late 90's and early 00's as a leading politician concerned with the war on drugs. She was Britain's drug czar, but she had the audacity to admit both that she had inhaled in the USA, and that drug users should not be prosecuted. Also among her more prominent accomplishments was being a leading player in attaining the Good Friday Agreements concerning Northern Ireland, which led to peace breaking out there. She was awarded a Peace Prize for this in 1999 by Hillary Clinton. She was noted in her career for LISTENING TO BOTH SIDES on contentious issues.

Re: [cia-drugs] Re: about the 'christian' schools curriculum
I hope nobody is getting 21st century America confused with 19th century America. It was a different world, and ideas of justice and liberty were evolving. It seems many religions have a slot for slavery within the philosophical shelter of the Divine. But we know that we can make and keep this a better world for everyone by eliminating that institution. Slavery in the United States was particularly aggravated in its injustice and treatment of the slaves. The idealism of the country has moved on from there, and sohave thoseof most of the fairer political systems of the world. There are clearcut reasons for outlawing it which operate with apparant good effect all over the globe, including survival of the species.

Slave life was to them a life of plenty, of simple pleasures, of food, clothes, and good medical care." also: "asserts that slaves weren't treated as badly as people think." I am NOT saying that these slaves were perfectly treated, but they were treated BETTER than illegal Mexicans today who do most of the US hard work, or than blacks today, or the sweatshop workers who make most (cheap) things that the USA and EU use today. Even the worst part, that the women were sexual toys of the men, and even the children... that has been humanity in its nature always (in the Bible, the 'natural' man is one who does not know God). I've always seen it, since I was a 13 yr old, and even since about age 9. Perhaps the ONLY place I have seen this well expressed is on Brazilian soap operas dealing with slavery in colonial times. I also saw it in Alabama. This may sound weird coming from a Quaker, but note that I do NOT say these things are good, but that we need to stop fooling ourselves so as to make things right. For example, all that the US has been doing in Gunatanamo, and ALL of Cuba. Is that any less demoniac than what slaveholders did? Nope, because slaveholders were not mostly perverts, as are any soldiers in a war situation, nor was the land being stolen, as in the much worse genocide against the natives. The Africans were kidnapped. (TODAY, their land is being stolen, war is the tool, and the ONLY hope of Africa is the descendency of those slaves) But there was no genocide, and abuse was not as bad as what Bush does today to ALL the rest of the world. Just look at me- I have a horrendous problem now, ONLY because Mr. Danger, as Chavez calls Bush, has caused problems with finding meds. My medication can cause fatal seizures if interrupted, and since the coup, I've been living a life of 'slavery' to the USA's economic desires in OUR country! I'd be much better off smoking natural pot or opium instead of having poisoned myself with those meds! The drug war today is also much more cruel on afro-americans than the slavery ever was. I'd rather have been a black slave in Alabama than go through these seizures, looking for medicines all over this gigantic city. Of course, I should mention that slavery seemed to cause some epilepsy- Harriet Tubman got it from being hit on the head

A Rose Law Firm Deal, RevisitedThe Wall Street Journal PAGE A20 - - - 03/15/1994Jonathan Roos(Copyright (c) 1994, Dow Jones Co., Inc.)
The following is reprinted with permission from the Des Moines Register of June 13, 1993. A related editorial appears nearby {see related editorial: "Review Outlook (Editorial): Who Was Webster Hubbell? -- I" -- WSJ March 15, 1994}.
When Hillary Rodham Clinton complained in a recent speech about profiteering in the health care industry, she could have found a ready example in the role one of her former Arkansas law partners played in an Iowa nursing-homes deal that made millions for the deal makers.
William H. Kennedy III, a partner in the Rose Law Firm of Little Rock and now associate counsel to President Clinton, shepherded the deal for Beverly Enterprises, a giant nursing-home company that paired up with a Texas banker to sell its Iowa and Arkansas nursing homes.
Forty-one Iowa homes were acquired four years ago by a nonprofit corporation, now known as Care Initiatives, that was effectively controlled by the banker, Bruce Whitehead. The deal was financed by $86 million in tax-exempt revenue bonds.
Whitehead and the bond underwriters took up-front profits exceeding $15 million.
Beverly, which needed cash to reduce its crippling debt, made about $10 million.
"Kennedy was involved in the whole thing, period. He was the point man for Beverly," says Frank Pechacek, a Council Bluffs lawyer who investigated the deal for county assessors. The assessors were contesting Care Initiatives' claim to property tax exemptions for its nursing homes in about 30 counties.
Kennedy could not be reached for comment.
Other Rose Law Firm partners who now work in the Clinton administration may have been involved, too. Webster Hubbell, who holds the No. 3 slot in the Justice Department {Mr. Hubbell resigned yesterday}, listed Beverly Enterprises among his 26 Rose Law Firm clients.

The spirit of those journeys is alive and well in the 6th and latest DC Journey For Justice. Agreatdiversity of people and groups have begun to coalescearound this effort.The media has already begun to talk about it.

PURDUM and DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK This article was reported and written by Adam Nagourney, Todd S. Purdum and David D. Kirkpatrick. WASHINGTON, July 2 - Within hours after Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's announced retirement from the Supreme Court, members of conservative groups around the country convened in five national conference calls in which, participants said, they shared one big concern: heading off any effort by President Bush to nominate his attorney general, Alberto R. Gonzales, to replace her. Late last week, a delegation of conservative lawyers led by C. Boyden Gray and former Attorney General Edwin Meese III met with the White House chief of staff, Andrew H. Card Jr., to warn that appointing Mr. Gonzales would splinter conservative support. And Paul M. Weyrich, a veteran conservative organizer and chairman of the Free Congress Foundation, said he had told administration officials that nominating Mr. Gonzales, whose views on abortion are considered suspect by religious conservatives, would fracture the president's conservative backers. The groundswell of opposition to Mr. Gonzales was just one sign of the conflicting forces suddenly swirling around Mr. Bush this weekend as he headed to Camp David to begin considering a replacement for Justice O'Connor, a decision his aides said would not be announced before he returned from a trip to Europe at the end of next week. Senate Democrats demanded that he consult them before making a choice and appoint a pragmatist in Justice O'Connor's mold. Conservatives, flexing their muscles in a battle they have spent a decade preparing for, described the nomination as a test of Mr. Bush's convictions and past promises, and his biggest opportunity yet to assure that the Bush presidency will leave a conservative stamp for a generation to come. And on Friday, the Rev. Miguel Rivera, president of the National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders, a group that represents more than 6,000 Latino evangelical churches, sent the president a letter urging consideration of "a true conservative Latino nominee," Emilio M. Garza, a federal appeals judge from Texas. In a telephone interview late Friday, Mr. Rivera said he had received no response. "All the meetings we have had in all the different groups today we have not heard anything to reassure us that he is out of the loop," Mr. Rivera said of Mr. Gonzales. Administration officials discounted the conservative uprising against Mr. Gonzales, saying that Mr. Bush was already aware of the objections and was not convinced by them. "It is what it is," said one senior administration official, who insisted on anonymity in exchange for discussing the White House views of the criticism of the attorney general. "The president is going to pick someone who is a true constructionist and who is correct in interpreting the law." The official said that Mr. Gonzales fit that description, but also that Mr. Bush might be wary of moving him to a new position so shortly after he was confirmed as attorney general. Mr. Bush planned to spend the weekend getting a head start on "homework" on a list of potential nominees and expected to "be on the phones with his advisers," said another senior administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe internal deliberations. He said that the president had been briefed on his staff's preparations for a court vacancy, and that "he knows the orbit of names." Other White House aides said they had canceled holiday plans to meet with supporters and prepare for a fight whose dimensions and intensity would be, to a considerable extent, dictated by the nominee Mr. Bush settles on. Members of Congress and conservatives close to the White House said that they were confident that Mr. Bush would use the first Supreme Court vacancy of his tenure to nominate a judge in the mold of Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, as he has repeatedly promised to do. "They don't need me lobbying on this stuff - they know what to do," said Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, a conservative group with close ties to the White House. "My only recommendation is that they nominate someone
Re: [cia-drugs] Bush Administration creates Secret State Police
Anything having to do with "Civil oversight" and Gonzales will not stand up to scrutiny. This Attorney-General is drafting and implementing secret torture policies which he publicly denies in the face of his own memoranda. Both he and Bush claim complete unaccountability for any action or policy as a matter of right. But none of it conforms to either our domestic Constitution or customary international law. Nothing of the Constitution is being judicially supported or defended: the land barons can now grab any American citizen's home at discount prices in the name of "public development" (for unaccountable private interests). This is somehow supposed to conform to the provisions of the Constitution calling for due process, just compensation, or peaceful enjoyment. The principle of "No man's land or property is secure when the Legislature is in session" has now been extended to the American Court System. This essentially leaves the lower half of the socio-economiccitizenry purely at the mercy of the upper half, without any protection for anyone from the richest; a step backwards into feudalism in the latest millenium. The Supreme Courtis now a cancertraffickerat the cost of cannabis, and an amazing percentage of the Justices are victims. Is this a cost we should even be sharing? It doesn't matter any more what the political evidence is; the scientific evidence is in, and that evidence is that cancer isfar more dangerous than cannabis. Cannabis helps or cures cancer cases. Therefore the whole panoply of lies supporting the War Against Drugs must now be ended and the truth about cannabis and perhaps other drugs must now be a matter of International common knowledge. Shouldthe police be upholding this state of affairs? No. The shared rights of all to accomodation and settled property means that the police should be upholdingthe welfareof the whole people, within the limitations imposed by the Constitution. This is the correct function of the police. If the police try to transform themselves into an undemocratic and unjust overclass with superior priveleges to the majority, the police will inevitably lose. When the police support the rights of all and come from within and not above the mass of population, justice will not be corrupted and everyone benefits and prospers. Peace follows. The American two party political system is failing the nation. Corrpution is now being carried out under the guise of warfare in the very theater where our troops are killing and dying. Vast amounts of money are disappearing without any accountability. No bid contracts and a generally biased government atmosphere in a war zone where travel restrictions hamper any investigation have led to negative results. The Iraqi people are now economically worse off than they were in the Ba'athist regime, and neither they nor the American people are convinced that Bush and Company are capable of making anything the way it is capable andjustofbeing in Iraq.

The real question is "Do we want a working class that lives like the Colombian or Ecuadoran, or Haitian working class does now." And my answer is "NO!"Jim Rarey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Good news. CAFTA in trouble. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/30/business/worldbusiness/30trade.html?pagewanted=print June 30, 2005 Trade Pacts to the South Losing Appeal By JUAN FORERO BOGOTÁ, Colombia, June 29 - An ambitious American plan for a hemispherewide trade pact, which President Bush described as a "vital link for prosperity," is mired in disputes that have led to widespread skepticism about its chances of ever materializing. With big nations like Brazil and Argentina firmly opposed to the plan, the United States has redirected its efforts in the last two years from creating a trade bloc spanning 34 nations to instead negotiating with a handful of smaller, more compliant countries in Central America and the Andes. But a deal for Central America is facing a bruising battle in Congress and, if approved, may be watered down by concessions to American sugar growers worried about cheap imports. The Bush administration won a victory Wednesday when the Senate Finance Committee approved the proposed Central American Free Trade Agreement. Supporters of Cafta, as the pact is known, predicted the Senate could pass the measure without great difficulty Thursday night or Friday, but the pact is likely to face tough resistance in the House, where numerous Republicans from states that produce sugar and textiles have threatened to vote against it. Looking farther south, the Andean nations of Bolivia and Ecuador, rocked by tumult, have little latitude to sign a trade deal anytime soon. Even Peru and Colombia, both close to the United States, are hesitating because of concerns that their farming sectors will be swamped by cheap, subsidized American imports. After more than four years of talks, the Bush administration's grand initiative for Latin America has signed up one country, Chile. "The free trade agenda is in very serious trouble in Latin America," said Michael Shifter, a vice president of the Inter-American Dialogue, a policy study group in Washington. Prospects were much brighter soon after Mr. Bush was elected. Latin America was then declared a priority, and the administration began drumming up support for a tariff-free $3.4 trillion trade bloc stretching from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, comprising 823 million people. "Democratic freedoms cannot flourish unless our hemisphere also builds a prosperity whose benefits are widely shared," Mr. Bush told the Organization of American States in April 2001. "Open trade is an essential foundation for that prosperity and that possibility." But increasingly, Latin Americans view free trade with the United States with suspicion, as the region has in recent years shifted to the left and become increasingly wary of Washington's economic prescriptions as growth flagged and promises of prosperity were perceived as increasingly hollow. The reasons for the caution are numerous, from a potent antiglobalization movement that has swept South America, to practical concerns in countries as varied as Brazil and Honduras about what opening markets to the United States, the world's biggest economy, could mean to home-grown industries. Ideology has played a role, with Washington's leading antagonist in the region, President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela, calling the Bush administration's free trade agenda "the medicine of death." Riordan Roett, director of Latin American studies at Johns Hopkins University, said there was more than just a backlash against market reforms and the perceived trade agenda of the United States. "It's almost a wholesale rejection of what people believe they were fed by the folks in Washington," he said. Already in recent months, two governments the United States hoped would sign free trade deals have collapsed in the wake of protests with a strong antiglobalization component. In April, Ecuador's president, Lucio Gutiérrez, who had close economic relations with the United States, was forced out. Then, on June 9, Bolivia's Congress accepted President Carlos Mesa's resignation, appointing a new president, Eduardo Rodríguez, who nevertheless faces the threat of more protests. "How could Bolivia enter talks now?" said Pablo Solón, who leads a policy group, Fundación Solón, in La Paz that is opposed to American-led talks. "It would be like throwing more fuel on the fire." American officials have not given up, saying most countries in the region see better times ahead by signing trade deals with Washington. The American focus, for the time being, is to secure a trade pact with five Central American countries and the Dominican Republic, to set the stage for talks with other countries. "This trade agreement benefits both sides," Mr. Bush told a group of Central American ambassadors in Washington last Thursday. "Cafta presents us with a free and fair trading system." But
