Jill Stein came to New York today and made more money for her recount project. Which is very good news for companies like Exxon Mobile, Lockheed Martin, etc. She has already $8,500,000 in such firms, so she is a loyal investor. Many in the GOP no doubt approve.
And since she raised over $6,000,000 for the recount of the votes this November in the US, she is going to have a lot more. Which some people think was going to be spent on the recount. In fact that was the premise of her solicitation.
But that is not where the money went. She could have had a recount in Pennsylvania, but she did not want to pay the state fee of $1,000,000 to pay for their workers. Maybe she expected them to do it for free. And keep the money she raised.
Arriving in New York at 10am, she headed for the Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue, across from which she made her speech. The press was there in great force, but only to listen to her. When I showed them the information about her, they rudely ignored it. They know she has lots of money and makes an easy story just showing up to ask for more money.
Most of the passersby knew that too. While the press was rude, the crowd reached out to me, and when I told them the facts about Stein were easy to check - and FREE - they wanted to know why the journalists were acting like petulant brats. Lots of disgust from both Democrats and Republicans on this. I ridiculed them for hours - and told one fool who wanted only an easy scoop that I could face every single American in the face after having done my bit They acted bored and stupid. They did squirm as I pointed them out, and had to endure my honest criticism for their dishonest and sloppy work.
CNN was especially rude, and this after assaulting me on 9 November when I asked them why they were only reporting one side to the story. I had to threaten them with arrest. CNN treats American with contempt by not telling the whole story, ignoring issues like hemp, Clinton's sexual abuse of Cathy O'Brien, etc.
Other outlets are also full of stupid lazy hacks. Just look at the lack of articles on hemp - compared to the multitude of articles on Kim Kardashian. Or dope. Written by dopes.
So while I am not against a recount, Jill Stein is NOT the person to be trusted with it and lots of money. Who knows what she is really doing with it. And how many fools there are in the Green Party to allow someone with the kind of investment she has to be their candidate.
That said, in case someone wants to accuse me of being some kind of right wing activist, go on this very blog and see how many times I supported Cynthia McKinney when she was the Green Party presidential candidate. A black woman FYI. The press ignored her since she went after Bush, and did not just allow hypocrisy in the Democrat party.
So there. Let's see what Trump will do with the hemp issue, bear in mind that two top Republicans were mor in support than either Greens or Democrats, I am referring to Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul, both Senators from Kentucky - and let's not forget Ron Paul, retired Congressman from Victoria, Texas, the town in which my sister runs Minawear ( www.minawear.com ).
And of course, I was wearing Minawear hemp clothing - Jill Stein was not. Very few in the Greens really support hemp now with her as their candidate, maybe they smoke dope. Must be to be giving her money.

Interview with Greta Gaines
This is an interview with Greta Gaines, a musician and hemp activist, and supporter of the petition to President Obama.
Q: You are a woman. An American woman. Most of the American politicians who are keepinghemp illegal, and keeping America from profiting from hemp - which is much a part of its heritage -are men. How do you feel about that - do you respect them as men, as the protectors and defenders of yourcountry or might you agree that they do not deserve respect?
Q: Why do you think that hemp is legal in so many other countries?
Hemp is legal in all industrial countries of the world because it is the finest plant known to man. no other plant has has many uses, as many essential fatty acids..no other plant has made itself more useful to mankind from the dawn of mankind then hemp. the big question is: why isn't it legal here?
Q: How do you feel as an American seeing these other countries make moneyfrom the plant that was used for the first American flag, for the US Navy, for medicine,for textiles and many other products in the US?
I think it's least patriotic thing in the world to turn one's back on hemp...the dog of the plant world..the plant that was used as currency here for hemp's sake! i call it the greatest coup of a natural resource in US history when the marijuana tax stamp was passed in 1937. the issue was never about making marijuana as a drug illegal it was about the greatest industrialists in the country wanting hemp out of the picture competing with standard oil, the Hearst paper mills, Dupont's new synthetic fibers and the alcohol and cotten cartels. it was heist and the american public got screwed and is to this day. an out and out travesty in my opinion.
Q: Should states cultivate hemp once it is legal and disregard the federal laws thatprohibit cultivation?
yes!!
Q: You are a woman. An American woman. Most of the American politicians who are keepinghemp illegal, and keeping America from profiting from hemp - which is much a part of its heritage -are men. How do you feel about that - do you respect them as men, as the protectors and defenders of yourcountry or might you agree that they do not deserve respect?
On a fundamental level I do feel that hating on hemp does hand in hand with hating on mother nature. we humans and males i particular have a history of hating on plant based medicines. why use a beautiful plant given to us by the great mother nature when you can pull out a chemical compound from that plant, patent it and make lots of $$ on it while keeping the plant illegal. so yes as a woman i am resentful of any affront to mother nature's bounty.
Q: What other women in the US are doing anything about hemp - what do you think of Cynthia McKinney, MinaHegaard or any others in the fray?
Women and men are uniting on this issue. i get really inspired by Willie Nelson's wife Annie who is helping to put together a clothing line with Willie, Ziggy Marley and Woody Harrelson. Mina's line of products are also soo inspiring!
Q: Are there any US politicians who you think are really making a difference?
I think Jared Polis and Barney Frank both are in the fray and really get this issue.
Q: Would you care to comment on the irony of the fact that guns, military grade semi-automatic guns - are completely legal, yet hemp is not?
what can you say? guns and money vs hemp and health? our society is still very much skewed toward violence and dis-ease instead of peace and harmony.
Q: What do you think about the press - or rather lack of press - on hemp?
Those of us who are into this issues are obsessed and outraged that there hasn't been a national sit in demanding that hemp become re-legalized. i feel the tide is turing and that in the next 5 years it will be re-legalized, what a wonderful legacy Obama would leave if he made it legal on his way out of office. i guess talking about hemp is not as sexy as talking about medical marijuana but it is really just as important to the health of the nation, we are just getting left in the dust by Canada and the rest of the world. Everyone i turn onto hemp becomes so sure of it's benefits that they add it to their daily diets and feel immeasurably better and different for it.
Q: Would you support an initiative to have hemp activists contact their local journalists and press for features on hemp, or should we just sit back and wait for them to discover the issue?
Absolutely!!
Q: Would you also support an intiative for hemp activists to contact their Congressman (or woman) and Senator and lobby for hemp, making a note of those who refuse to do so and putting that record up on the internet for other Americans to see?
Of course!
Q: Are politicians in America guilty at to any extent of betraying their country by not supporting this issue - especially when they seemto have so much time to support frivolous issues?
One of our tee shirt designs at my online store Cannibuzz.com is called the patriotic pothead tee. they sport quotes on the back from our founding father's as to the wonders of hemp. politicians today are guilty of pure laziness in not educating themselves as to the wonders of hemp. our Tennessee Congressman Jim Cooper wrote me back a letter when i wrote to him about re-legalizing hemp with the most ridiculous and uninformed response. his form letter said essentially that he can't support growing industrial hemp because that would make it too difficult for law enforcement to bust outdoor illegal marijauna grows. his letter showed a stupefying level of ignorance about the plant and the huge differences between industrial hemp and medical cannabis.Q: Let's say the press ignores, or as it did in the past, maligns the issue - what would you think of picketing outsidemajor press offices in cities like New York to shine a spotlight on this issue?I would be willing to picket. i think the time has come!

Hemp Farming Bill facts
For hemp to be made legal in the House, it would need hundreds of Congressmen to do the right thing. So far less than 10% are behind H.R. 1831, the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2011, which was introduced by Rep. Ron Paul. It now has the most co-sponsors since the bill was first introduced in 2005, a total of 31. The bill has broad bipartisan support including 7 Republicans and 25 Democrats. It gained the support of the ranking Democrat on the Agriculture committee, Rep. Collin Peterson, as well as the Republican chair of the Agriculture subcommittee on Rural Development, Research, Biotechnology, and Foreign Agriculture.
What this says is there is a good core base of support, aided by the ongoing petition at www.minawear.com/about-us/ - which has former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (Green Party presidential candidate 2008) as a supporter - but that there needs to be persistent lobbying of elected officials all across the nation. I would urge the reader to write to their senator and congressman and note their response (or lack of it). I would be happy to post any such action here and add a log to the fire, I can be contacted at cotingas@hotmail.com

Unites States Senator supports hemp
Below in bold is the ofiicial statement by Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky regarding industrial hemp.Other US Senators and Congressmen have supported hemp over the years, and this year, 2013, we intend to lobby all US Sentors and Congressmen about this issue - as well as having a petition to the White House - now available for signing at www.minawear.com/about-us - add your name to the growing roster of hemp activists and supporters, including the likes of Green Party Presidential Candidate Cynthia McKinney!
A recent national poll concluded that 43 percent of Americans believe unemployment and job creation is the most important issue facing our country. So it’s no surprise that Republicans and Democrats in Washington claim to be big supporters of creating jobs.
But the truth is D.C. policy-makers on both sides of the aisle stifle jobs and opportunity with regulations and policies that hurt our work force. And often, it flies in the face of common sense. The perfect example of this is the debate over industrial hemp.
Prior to World War II, Kentucky led the nation in providing 94 percent of all industrialized hemp. However, it was outlawed under an umbrella law that made marijuana illegal. This was simply because they are in the same botanical family and look similar.
But there are major differences in the two plants. Marijuana is made up of 20 percent tetrohydrocannabinol (THC), the mind-altering chemical, while industrial hemp plants contain less than 0.3 percent.
Comparing hemp to marijuana is like comparing poppy seeds found on bagels to OxyContin. Poppy seeds are in the same family of opiate — the same family that contains codeine, morphine, OxyContin and even heroin.
Yet, you can buy and consume food containing poppy seeds, as thousands of Americans do each day, without experiencing the narcotic effects the rest of its plant is harvested for.
So, the issue with hemp isn’t that the plant is harmful. It’s that the plant might be mistaken for marijuana.
This presents some challenges for law enforcement. But we can address those challenges. And we can return to growing and producing hemp in Kentucky. And in the process, create jobs and opportunity here.
Let me share an example of the economic potential for industrial hemp.
Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps is based in California and sells products made from hemp plants. David Bronner, the company’s CEO, says it grossed over $50 million in sales this past year. But since the production of industrial hemp is outlawed in America, the company must import 100 percent of the hemp used in their products from other countries.
The company sends hundreds of thousands of U.S. dollars every year to other countries because American farmers are not allowed to grow this plant. The U.S. is the only industrialized nation in the world that does not allow the legal growth of hemp.
Today, hemp products are sold around the U.S. in forms of paper, cosmetics, lotions, auto parts, clothes, cattle feed and so much more. If we were to start using hemp plants again for paper, we could ultimately replace using trees as the main source for our paper supply.
One acre of industrial hemp plants can grow around 15,000 pounds of green hemp in about 110 days. For every ton of hemp converted into paper, we could save 12 trees. It is a renewable, sustainable, environmentally conscious crop.
Back in August, I stood alongside Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner James Comer and a bipartisan group of legislators and promised Kentuckians that I would join the fight to allow the growth and production of industrial hemp. Comer stated that day that the soil and the climate in Kentucky are perfect for the growth of hemp, and that could ultimately allow the commonwealth to be the nation’s top producer.
Recently, Comer revived the long-dormant Kentucky Hemp Commission by calling its first meeting in more than 10 years. This took real leadership and I applaud him for his action. To help get the ball rolling and show our commitment, Bronner wrote a $50,000 check to the commission and I have pledged to match that donation from my personal political action committee.
While Comer and the commission work to address this issue in Kentucky, I have co-sponsored legislation in the U.S. Senate that would require the federal government to honor state laws allowing production of industrial hemp and would exclude industrial hemp from the definition of marijuana.
My vision for the farmers and manufacturers of Kentucky is to see us start growing hemp, creating jobs and leading the nation in this industry again. These jobs will be ripe for the taking, and I want the farmers in Kentucky to be the first in line.

Is Delaware a feudal/police state?
The state of Delaware has been for centuries the stronghold of the Du Pont Corporation, about which I wrote in Hemp for Victory. I would say that that company has left its mark on that state, and not for any good. Gerald Colby Zilg gives a account of it which reads like a feudal state from the Middle Ages, ruled over by one rich family. Much has changed, however, what with such exposes - though his book was destroyed and had to be repinted - but situations like that of Dr Issa's still make us wonder about that state. Who is Dr Issa, one might ask? Dr. Jahi Issa was formerly employed by DSU as a professor of American History and Africana Studies. On August 17, 2012, Dr. Issa was fired by the HBCU for reasons attributed to an arrest he received on campus during a rally organized by the school’s students. They demonstrated a peaceful rally, which was organized to protest the recent firings of favored black professors at DSU. After the melee, Delaware State Attorney Beau Biden’s offices filed Class A misdemeanors against the former professor.
And I would not even have heard of it myself had it not been sent to me by Cynthia McKinney, who supplied the link below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1YuJzYnetM&feature=player_embedded
As can be seen, the students were protesting University policy and the professor joined them. This was the University's response. Now, the professor is in court with the state claiming that HE was the one who did the attacking!!! His court case is State of Delaware v. Jahi U. Issa (1203000747)
The Attorney General of Delaware is Beau Biden, Joe Biden's son!
Dr Issa now alks on a cane due to his injuries from the police.

New Year's Resolution for hemp
Here we are at the close of 2012...and Mayan calendar or not, we are still here. Maybe not for much longer, so let's make the most of it. Hope that does not sound too pessimistic. Actually, there are harbingers of good for 2013 - Minawear got their petition up ahead of schedule, just before Christmas, and is now nearly at 100 signatures (including Green Party candidate's Cynthia McKinney's). Not bad with no press - and that is an issue I would like to address. Why no press? You hear all about bad things - every idiot who goes beserk gets 15 minutes of fame and we read all about fiscal cliffs and subway pushers, who are becoming a bit of a phenomenon here in New York - but what about some press telling us how to improve our world and create jobs in the US?
Now, the hemp issue takes some time to understand, what with the confusion about hemp and marijuana - created by the Hearst press - and all the different legislations involving hemp from the present status to arguments in the House about US vs Russian hemp for the US Navy (Russian hemp was preferred - I digress into a technical point here that many journalists would only find too much to work out - but the retting process was superior in Russia to the one in the US) to preemptive strikes made against the French by the British in the 18th century - there is a lot to know about what was once the world's most traded commodity.
But I can simplify and provide a focus: we need to have this commodity and we need to unify and get behing making it legal in the US - so please do three things:
First, sign the petition up at www.minawear.com/about-us/
Second, write to you Congressman if you are in the US.
Third, write to the press anywhere in the world, and see if you can get a journalists not too involved with the latest on Lindsay Lohan and get them to do an article - I did this a while back, it took a lot of persistance, but the Guardian finally did a full page feature on hemp which is still up on the web.
So that is the plan, I hope you are all off to a great New Year or already in it by the time you are reading this!

SHINING A LIGHT ON 9/11 TRUTH ON 9/11
Last night was 9/11, and I spent the day with the truthers downtown. We all stayed away from the crazies who want to burn Korans or hate other groups. We got attacked a couple times, the police restrained a young man with a flag who turned on us and also a Fire Department crazy who actually jumped the metal barricades to scuffle with us and the police.
One crazy took a more intellectual approach and had a flier typed up saying that William Rodriguez was in Harlem smoking crack rather than saving lives in the North Tower. Revisionist history appears all the time. People believe what they want to believe...
Met up with DJ Greenarrow and his mate Jazz and from there it went rather well. It was hot, but cool breezes set in and the evening was perfect weather with clear skies; which was perfect for the plan to illuminate the sky with a third beam of light, in recognition of WTC7, which fell at 5:20pm EST on the day....funny, but at 5:00pm on the day, Jane Standley of the BBC stood outside it and read the script too early, telling the world that it had fallen due to weak supports! Foolish woman - it actually had very strong supports as it was built to be changed to accamodate clients who wanted tall ceiling or atriums.
Architect Richard Gage, who heads up a group of over 1,000 architects and engineers, held a press conference at 2pm outside the new Building 7...as usual, the press in NY wants to hear the lies, and certainly does not want to be reminded that the press had inside information about what was going on that day.
The city shines two beams of light into the sky to commemorate the attacks on this day, but conveniently omits the third...maybe because the general public would start asking questions about why the press knew that this building, which was not hit by a plane, fell, and at freefall speed (7 seconds for 47 stories) at that...
Barbara Honegger and Gage decided to set the record straight and rigged up a truck with light at the corner of Worth and W B'way. It went on at 9:11 pm EST, just at the others did...passersby stopped and questioned, and were surprised to even hear there had been a third building to fall...except for one astute child, who answered the gaping adults with the facts about Building 7.
A few blocks north on Walker Street there was a conference with the likes of Wayne Madsen in attendance; Cynthia McKinney was to speak, and I had a nice chat with her before she went on...also saw, walking just outside MI5 bar of all places, Annie Machon, the former desk clerk at MI5 who joined forces with David Shayler and Belinda McKenzie...Shayler is going around now wearing a diaper, calling himself Dolores and claiming to be the Messiah. Nice stunt, quite likely an idea proposed by the intel agencies bent on destroying the movement; it is now on record that White House propaganda minister Cass Sunstein had them infiltrated with Obama's permission...
But the truth shines on...whether as a beam in the sky in NY, or just as the truth. Government agencies, lazy journalists and crazies like Shayler and his crew will not make it go away. 9/11 was an inside job, as was the anthrax, 3/11, and 7/7.
BELOW IS THE PRESS RELEASE ABOUT THE THIRD LIGHT:
1,280 Architects and Engineers Launch
Third Light Beam into NYC Night Skyline
on 9th Anniversary of September 11th
Represents WTC Bldg 7’s still-officially-unexplained
free fall collapse and explosive implications
NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 11 – At 9:11 p.m. on the 9th anniversary of the September attacks, the members of the 1,280-strong Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth (AE911Truth) lit up the skies over Manhattan with a towering 2-billion-candlepower beam of light to raise public awareness that three, not just two, World Trade Center high-rise buildings collapsed symmetrically at near free-fall acceleration on 9/11, though only two were hit by planes. Three Beams image at www.ae911truth.org, main page upper left.
‘Why is there a Third Beam in my skyline?” New Yorkers are asking themselves tonight.
AE911Truth founder Richard Gage, AIA, answered that question earlier in the day at a 2:00 press conference in front of the entrance to the now-rebuilt WTC 7 where he was joined by 9/11 victims’ family members, members of NYC CAN (New York City Coalition for Accountability Now) and an audience of hundreds of concerned citizens from NYC and across the country.
“The people of New York need to see the light that a third WTC skyscraper not hit by any plane was destroyed on Sept. 11th and that they have been deceived about what happened on that
terrible day,” he said. “Tonight we are shining the spotlight, literally, on the fact that the official story of what happened at Ground Zero simply cannot be true and that a new, truly independent investigation is needed. This new investigation is needed both as a matter of national security and as the key to real justice for the victims of the Twin Towers.”
“So look into the NYC evening skyline tonight at 9:11 and ask yourself this question: “What can I do to shine a light of truth and justice for the family members and first responders?”
Gage is in NYC Sept. 11 and 12 to speak at a live-streamed symposium on “How the World Changed After 9/11.” This event at INN World Report, 56 Walker Street, Lower Manhattan, features national and international leaders of the 9/11 Truth and accountability movement.
“Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth are here to give any and all press and media all the technical support you need in order to break this story of the crime of the century,” Gage said. “The real story is not about the Islamic Cultural Center, which is a red herring fed to the media to keep New Yorkers emotionally occupied while the crime of the century -- the explosive demolition of three World Trade Center skyscrapers on 9/11 -- goes almost completely unquestioned.”
“Building 7 is a smoking gun of the WTC crime scene. We hope that after tonight, New Yorkers will realize this and see what happened here on September 11th in a whole new light.”

GREENS PLAYING WITH FIRE
In Australia the Green Party is not popular; not after hundreds of people died in forest fires that could have been prevented if qualified fire prevention officials had been listened to, and forest areas had been thinned down to minimise the risk of fire in a country where that is the #1 threat. Their impassioned pleas to keep every last log in place for every last bug to have a snug home backfired, and now every last bug is dead, burned to a crisp thanks to these idiots, who may or may not care that hundreds of their fellow humans have also met such a fate. As usual, the idiot savants in the Green Party have little remorse. The only pain they feel is when someone like me reproaches them, and then they hang their heads in shame and cry that I ought not to expect them to be scientists. No, I do not. In fact I do not expect them to even be literate enough to read about hemp, though some have found their way on to this blog and complained vociferously. The best thing they ever did was to back Cynthia McKinney for President of the United States in '08, and even that they could not get very right, with a high profile candidate like her they ought to have gotten millions more votes, but their stupid stunts make them a pariah party.
Let's hope that we can allow our governments to implement public safety measure without interference from these know-it-all climate change fanatics. How much more money has to be spent on their pipe dreams, and how many more have to die before we see through their drug induced hysteria?

HOCKEY MOM
Image left is what, or who, the US might have for President one day. Scary in a bland kind of way. Imagine McCain gets in, and in the excitement of winning has a heart attack. Enter Hockey Mom. Happy Clappy woman who will have access to the launch codes...
This is not, however, an endorsement for the other happy clappy person, Obama. Either one of them is a nightmare; and neither cares about hemp. Both are about as igorant as a pig on this issue - and quite a number of other issues as well. Sarah Palin supports guys who chase polar bears out of helicopters, and thinks the Lord will return in her lifetime, despite the Gospel telling us that only God knows the time. Maybe she, like W, has some kind of hotline to the heavens...or just orders from the GOP warmongers who make money by using the naiev to start wars. They need a nice clean face to make us forget about the environment and the economy. And the Democrats are just as much to blame - Obama voted for the abomination in Iraq. Cynthia McKinney didn't. Palin supported it hook, line and sinker. And boy oh boy is she proud of herself!

NOVEMBER SELECTIONCynthia McKinney, with whom I was privileged to spend a week with in London, is a matronly woman with a real sense of what is going on. It was she who asked Rumsfeld about the missing $2.3 trillion...and since that day, she has been made an enemy of, blacked out by the press whores who whitewash the theft that it so rife in Washington.
We can look forward to a US President who is not scamming money, who is not (like 40,41 & 43) the subject of paedophile investigations, who is not a Skull & Bones member, who is not into big business, but who is a real statesman, and has a real agenda.
Even if your vote does not get her in, it sends a message, and that needs to be heard. If the GREENS get 5% of the vote it will mean a serious victory for the party. The change from Nader, a man who never served in public office, to a person who has spent about 20 years in office, was a good move for the party and means that they can be taken a lot more seriously. McKinney's tour in London showed she has real diplomatic and speaking skills. She thrilled the audience at Friends House, the historic venue in North London, and held court well in enemy territory, such as the James Whale show (a particularly unpleasant UK shock jock who has recently had his radio licence revoked by the communications authorities). She also spoke at the Green Party UK festival in Brockwell Park and held a conference at the Friends of the Earth HQ. The people who met her, from Tony Juniper of FoE, to Mark Anslow of the Ecologist to Baroness Jenny Tonge were well impressed with her.
Her stance on the treatment of US soldiers is also a very strong point, she is the only candidate to take a stance on the DU issue. Presciently, she asserts that the people who got us into this mess, referring to Iraq, cannot be trusted to take us out. Or to take care of the soldier who they messed up with DU by giving lucrative contracts to companies that use this nuclear waste product. They make the money, our boys pay the price. That's how it works, but McKinney is vocal about changing this - and her record reflects this - look at this issue in the 109th Congress and see how she stood out from the crowd and stood up for those in uniform. The others betrayed the military on this - look at their voting records. So voting for those who vote against proper treatment of the soldiers is, it could be argued, a step away from treason. A strong military is essential, and we are currently looking at a decline in morale and enlistment. For those who care about this issue, McKinney is the candidate.
And of course, for those who want to see America growing hemp, McKinney is the candidate. She would help the likes of Dave Monson in North Dakota to get his legal rights, which his fellow GOP members have failed to do.
But, sadly, we may get Obama or McCain. I would vote for neither. I fear for America's future if they get in.

HEMP ARTICLE UNDER CULTIVATION
IN THE ECOLOGIST
The September 2008 issue will feature hemp and the book Hemp for Victory, so I am excited. It will be a good time time for hemp businesses to advertise their shop, here are their contact details:
Advertising@theecologist.org or call 020 7422 8100. Click here for site quoting ad rates.
It is of great advantage to have both a full scale article on hemp and some business contacts so as to engage the general public. Too often there is a curt and innacurate article with no contact details. The Ecologist has worked hard to help the hemp movement, last year they gave us free advertising for a hemp shopping bag made by the Hemp Shop in the UK. Their reporters have been quite keen to work with us, and go out of their way to keep their ear to the ground, as when Cynthia McKinney, potential US Green candidate for President, visited London last year (she was boycotted by many of the larger publications, including the Guardian). I still remember her cooking up porridge with hemp seeds whilst Mark Anslow and freelancer Elizabeth Mistry looked on.
Current circulation runs at 20,000 per issue, 10 issues a year. Readership is quoted at ten times that figure, understandably as many copies circulate in libraries and institutions. The magazine tends to have a longer 'life', as more readers tend to keep back issues, a fact reflected on my own shelves. It punches above its weight as far as publications go; writers such as Mark Anslow, Jeremy Smith, Pat Thomas and Zac Goldsmith, to name a few - influence opinion in environmental circles. It has an online presence, and an e-newsletter with 25,000 signed up.
So let's support them in their act of support for hemp. The more the general public sees of hemp products, the more we can advance this cause. For smaller companies, and perhaps those not so UK/EU centred, I might suggest some collective ads in the Green Pages section. We are hoping to have a hemp products show here in London, maybe early '09, so keep that in mind too.
And as always, I am happy to do a post about any hemp business here on the blog, it is free, but to be objective it does not reach 20,000 a month. Not yet, but we are working on it. Contact me at cotingas@hotmail.com if you have such information and/or low res images to post.
In the meantime, make sure you at least get a copy of the hemp article in this next issue of the Ecologist and send copies to environment editors so they follow suit. A good idea would be to copy their article and send along your own synopsis with details of your business so they contact you for an article. Look for an upcoming post here with a list of hemp articles in the press, there is always at least a small one appearing here and there on a weekly basis, and many of them are noted here with a link, as will be the upcoming piece in the Ecologist.

BEST MAN FOR THE JOB:
CYNTHIA McKINNEY
The pale knight in the thrall of the smiling Cynthia is Gav Lawson of The Hemp Trading Company, who presented her with hemp shirts to take back to the US. Good job she got them, as they may never have let her on the plane with the orange jump suit. She is posing outside the US Embassy in London as part of her whirlwind tour in September 2007. Imagine what it would be like if she got in as president! Absolute honesty - hundreds of congressmen running for cover as she asked them to account for not just millions, or even billions, but trillions of missing dollars!
And of course she is hip to the value of hemp, so we would not have the stupid DEA suppressing the rights of US citizens. So if you are a US citizen, go out and get this woman in the White House. Otherwise, things will get a lot worse, and we don't want that to happen.

HOPE AND CHANGE
Later this year 100 million or so are going to fill out chad slips or whatever they use now to pick someone to occupy the White House for four years. Many are fighting over who is better or worse, McCain or Obama. To be or not to be a McCaination or an Obamanation. Is there a third choice? I am not sure if Cynthia McKinney is still in as Green Party candidate, but if she is then let's get her in the White House. Republicans can be happy that there is a an honest church goer, and the other side gets both an African American and a woman.
There will of course be lots of unhappy people who are being asked by her what they did with trillions (yes, that's not a typo - I don't mean millions or even billions) of dollars that went MIA at the Pentagon.
She knows about hemp and expect it to become legal on a federal level if she gets is, which is just what we need. As the price of oil just rose 10% in a day this week, as some Bozo in the Middle East, who had nothing better to say but needed to get a soundbite, announced that Israel was about to attack Iran, Iran's exports, including oil, rose in price. This does not help the Israeli economy and unless the Knesset is on acid they are not about to do any such stupid thing. Kissinger once said that there is no foreign policy there, just domestic, which means that politicians say all kinds of crazy things to pander to voters. They endanger the Israeli public just to get the press to give them space. If someone were a real enemy of Israel, they would encourage all the saber rattling they could and then let a big war end the game. Or are arms dealers already playing that just for their fun and profit?
One more reason to have Cynthia McKinney - if we do not want the neophyte Obama or the GOP McCain, bedfellow to lots of arms dealers, we need someone with experience and common sense. McKinney has been in the throes of political machinations in the US, and knows what is what.
Having met McKinney I can vouch for her character. She took London by storm - and, for what it's worth, her son is a Chelsea fan. We hope to have them over soon on a more official visit.

A LIGHTER SHADE OF GREEN
I live to fight another day, after having attended the Monbiot rally at Friends House. I did not get lynched, only ignored and collared by one angry member of the Green Party UK.
Was it something I said? Or the fact that I wrote on their solicitation forms: "PRINTED ON ENVIRONMENTALLY DESTRUCTIVE WOOD PULP PAPER. HELP DESTROY THE RAIN FORESTS AND SUPPORT US NOW"?
They were not pleased. One member then proceeded to discusss global warming with me and things got hot. I mentioned Cynthia McKinney and her visit to the UK Greens in September, and he suggested she was unable to answer questions. When I questioned the angry member as to which questions, he was then unable to answer, and it turned out he was not even at the event. He was not alone in that his inability to answer questions. The panelists were not only unable to do so, but also rather angry an my inconvenient truths. When asked about Piers Corbyn, Phil just asserted that Piers was a nutter. "Conspicuously absent from your speeches was any mention of him or others who have real science about climate change," I told them.
While facts were few and far between, emotions ran high. One teary-eyed blonde from down under went on about how terrible climate change was, and how great it was to break the law in London to get her point across. For all her emotional speeches and illegal actions, she did not want to know about hemp and gave me a cold look when I gave her some hemp paper; as did another speaker.
The main speaker was George Monbiot, the smartest of the lot - he sat nearest the exit and when anyone like myself approached after the talk he managed to get away faster than a snake in the grass. This left a volunteer to field my questions about why they only discussed biofuel as one product rather than intelligenlty talking about biodiesel and bioethanol as two very distinct items; which confused the mean green assistant further and I was sure they were just about to call security.
The overall impression of it was that it was a Holy Roller revival meeting. They talk up the emotions and then pass the plate. In this case the plate was in the form of direct debit forms printed on - environmentally destructive wood pulp paper. And were any of them wearing hemp? No way - they all had on environmentally destructive cotton. They want to preach, but they don't want to practice.

AB 684
After passing the California state senate on September 11 by a large majority (26-13), the bill to allow hemp in the Golden State was vetoed by the son of a Nazi whore some 33 days later. And I'm not speaking about his mother - his dad wore the bent cross in service to Hitler as an officer of the Reich.
Once again the will of the people has been subverted by the perverted. As the bill for the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan now surpasses that of the bill for the Korean and Vietnam wars, 1 trillion bucks to be exact, people are beginning to get a little upset about the rip-off occuring in the Homeland. Some time ago Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney asked Donald Rumsfeld where 2.3 trillion bucks went at the Pentagon, and she is still waiting for an answer.
Now that she is considering a run for the Oval Office on the Green Party ticket, we may get an answer, and some action on legalising hemp. McKinney is aware that the first US flag was made of hemp, and that hemp is part of US history - so much so that the government issued a "Hemp for Victory" film in WWII. So where is the victory? Certainly Schwarzenegger has not delivered a sieg. Maybe more a state of siege.
Speaking of flags and victories, the US won a battle at sea against the Koreans in the late 19th century and confiscated the flag, which was, like the Betsy Ross stars'n'stripes, made of hemp. It is now on loan to Korea, which is hoping to get it back permanently. They want their hemp back and I don't blame them. Hopefully, Californians can also get their hemp back.

KING HEMP
Posted recently on rense is the 4th installment in Rand Clifford's series titled King Hemp. There is always a good historical narrative in his work, so I recommend this to my readers here.
It is good to be well informed on the subject. Better, though, to take action, and this is what is badly needed. How many, for instance, take the time to write/call their MPs, Congressmen or Senators and get the issue flagged up? Last month a number of us in London hosted a former US Congresswoman, Cynthia McKinney, and she was showered with books, hemp seeds, hemp chocolate and hemp T shirts. How sad that she had to find out about hemp in a trip abroad! The very substance that can grow so lucratively in her own country is discovered when she crosses the pond. I suspect that there are hundreds of others like her, and all it takes is a good package with the essential facts (not rants about dope).
Another way of supporting the hemp movement if using hemp products, such as clothing, paper, skin care products, etc. They are available at a number of shops, below are some links:

THE GANGRENE PARTY
The image left needs no intrduction, at least not on this site. However, it has taken years of explaining hemp to the UK Green Party to get them to take heed. The closest I got to any cooperation on the matter was a chat with their drugs spokesperson, Shane Collins, and that was somewhat between zero and sod all. I met the Greens again last Sunday at Brockwell Park in South London, where I was working as a PR person for Cynthia McKinney. They wanted to be in the picture with her, but they did not seem to know what that picture was. All the while I was curious about what was going to occur, as she was proposed by the US Green Party to be their presidential candidate. I worried that the UK Greens were not going to impress her. Sian Berry was nowhere in sight, Caroline Lucas, their MEP, did not show up, and there was no sign of Jenny Jones of the Greater London Assembly. The last time I talked with Jones, she was defending Tony Blair, and I have since considered her a born loser. Maybe it was best she did not show up. Among those who did, I cannot say anyone was very impressed. When we got into a discussion about hemp, which ought to be a top priority for the UK Greens, they told us basically we could get involved in their internal politics and maybe they would pay it some attention. I held my tongue, given that I was McKinney's host.
The next day, she dropped a bombshell in London, as she announced she was withdrawing her nomination from the party. In the next 48 hours or so, this was covered by her hometown paper in Atlanta, which noted that the Greens did not know of it first, and claimed they did not get the letter. I am not surprised. If they are so stupid they do not really do anything for hemp, they do not deserve to be called the Green Party. In fact, the GOP does more for hemp than this sorry party. Not that I am about to go out an vote for many of them either.
Whether McKinney withdrew her nomination because the scales fell from her eyes in London or not I do not claim to know. But I am happy she did withdraw, as she can now concentrate much more working with more well organised parties and individuals. As to hemp, she took the time to find out about it and is now back in the US with 3 hemp T shirts courtesy of Gav Lawson of The Hemp Trading Company. He hung out with her outside the US Embassy as she wore an orange jump suit in protest at the treatment of Guantanamo Bay prisoners. And, as one might guess, there was no sign of the Green Party.

HEART OF HEMP
Cynthia McKinney, former US Congresswoman who was asked to consider a run for the White House by the US Green Party, has finished her whirlwind tour of London. To get her off to a proper start, a tub of hemp hearts (pictured right) awaited her in the fridge, which, along with hemp chocolate bars, kept her going strong (along with porridge and raisins).
Highlights of her tour include meeting Tony Juniper of Friends of the Earth on Thursday, 6 September, wearing an orange jump suit outside the US Embassy on Friday, talking at the Urban Green Fair on Sunday, and holding court at Friends House on Monday. Tuesday she flew off to Amsterdam.
At the end of her tour she decided to decline the Green Party nomination, as she was not able to get the running mate she wanted. They may have to take back Ralph Nader! And let's not mention his little back handed put options trading...
I bet the major parties are breathing a sigh of relief. 4 more years of BS in the US if either of them gets elected. There may be some scary time ahead, and chills ran up our spines on Monday when we heard that Barack Hussein Obama plans to pull the troops out of Iraq...and send them to Pakistan. Just when you thought Bush was bad. And since this will be a move on the part of the Democrats, protest might be completely futile.
I think America's only hope is that the citizens at this point storm the cockpit and turn the plane around. For that they will need their strength, so I recommend a high protein diet which includes hemp seeds (which are still illegal to grow in the Homeland, these came from Canada, which now cultivates 50,000 acres a year).

CYNTHIA MCKINNEY IN LONDON
This summer the US Green Party asked Cynthia McKinney to run for president. Hopefully she will, and many things that the Bush administration have damaged in the land of liberty will be repaired, such as the treatment of US veterans. I am lucky to have served before either Bush got in, many of those who did their time after me are now suffering the effects of depleted uranium. The Marines got a few good men, but Bush was not one of them. In fact it is pretty well understood that he went AWOL for 7 months, and his VP never even went in as he got 5 deferrments, is that a record or what? How did he get out of duty 5 times when hundreds of thousands of others got called up? Did he tap his feet?
McKinney is definitely not a foot-tapper. She has hers solidly on the ground, and this week they are on British ground. She arrived Monday around noon and has taken up residence in London where she has been holding court with writers and journalists. Mark Anslow of the Ecologist spent the afternoon in her presence, asking her about her stance on all things green, followed by Elizabeth Mistry. Nafeez Ahmed showed up later with his friends and a heavy discussion ensued. At one point Cynthia cooked up a meal of hulled hemp seeds and porridge, the former a gift of Roger Snow at Rocky Mountain Grain Products in Canada.
The next day London was set back by a tube strike, which may not have pleased a lot of people, but at least it got some of us more fit as we were forced to walk or ride bikes. Personally, though, I'd rather sit and get taken to my destination by wheels of steel. Let's hope they are rolling soon. While they idled, McKinney gathered steam, talking to the Big Issue and getting on Talk Sport just before midnight. Any American would be proud that she held her own against the talk show host John Nichol. She was asked if she was an American version of George Galloway, to which she wisely did not say yes or no. Truth is that both do stand against the establishment and oppose the mess in Iraq, but she does not go on Big Brother and do inane antics to get attention, she is able to make her points in more effective ways. She also has a very good voting record for her constituents, whilst Galloway has a very bad one, and in fact missed a crucial vote for Bethnal Green when he was a guest of Channel 4.
She will rock and roll in the UK some more, meeting Friends of the Earth tomorrow and protesting outside the US Embassy on Friday (7 September) at 6 pm with Moazzam Begg, a former Guantanamo Bay prisoner who got locked up for nothing. It sounds like Seinfeld, which was a show about nothing, but noone ever complained (except some viewers). There still are hundreds of people locked up for nothing, and they are not even allowed to watch old epidodes of Seinfeld. Instead they are being forced to hear loud music, as if that is going to help win hearts and minds. If Cynthia gets in they get out. And the millions, sorry, billions, sorry, trillions that the Bushistas are spending on Camp X Ray and other abominations will be spent in the Homeland with proper accounting to the taxpayer's whose money has gone astray these last few years. Some folks will not like that one bit, and I suspect that the princes of darkness who run Blackwater and other paramilitary outfits at great expense to the taxpayer will be getting caned.
On Sunday (9 September) she will be speaking at the Urban Green Fair in Brockwell Park, Brixton. After that she goes up to Leeds, then returns to the banks of the Thames on Monday, when she will speak at Friends House on Euston Road at 6:30 pm, admission £5, £3 with concessions. Her speech will be followed by a 45 minutes Q&A session. Tuesday (11 September) she is attending a rally in Parliament Square at noon, and then she heads off to Amsterdam.
