Jill Stein in New York outside Trump Towers

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.

Philadelphia Flyer Cote Riley for hemp

Would you give the stink eye to somebody pounding O’Douls in the parking lot before work?
I mean, yeah; probably. You might also just walk by quickly and try not to make eye contact. But one thing you couldn’t do is accuse them of showing up to work drunk.
Nobody’s really confusing O’Douls with alcohol, except maybe tragically clueless teenagers, but there are debates in this country that use a similar brand of ignorance to continue.
When people hear “hemp,” they assume it’s being said to them by somebody with at least one pot leaf hoodie in their closet. But while hemp is a form of cannabis and gets a lot of eye rolls, there is one thing it doesn’t get: people stoned.

 

There’s no THC in hemp – which is to say, there’s no aspect of the plant that would get someone high, like marijuana would; just like O’Douls, without any alcohol, can’t cause you a drinking problem. The misconception is that hemp and marijuana, coming from the same plant, are one and the same. They are not. And naturally, it’s up to former Flyer Riley Cote to spread the word.
His playing days behind him after retiring from the NHL at 28, Cote is an assistant coach for the Adirondack Phantoms, when he isn’t campaigning for the health benefits of hemp. Back in 2007-10, Riley Cote would try to get his point across with intense punching, or perhaps throwing his body into a man’s head. These days, Cote takes a far more diplomatic approach to problem-solving, organizing events to advocate the value of hemp as a replacement for plastic, textiles, fuel and as a healthy dietary supplement. Hemp Heals strongly argues that the consumption of hemp seeds will aid in the healing process, as well as act as a preventative measure against getting sick.
That’s why the Hemp Heals Music Festival is coming to Penn’s Pier this Saturday, Sept. 7, and Cote is an active force in getting it there.
“I really believe this could help heal bodies, the environment, and the economy,” Cote said in an interview last year.
His involvement in the hemp movement was triggered by a desire to keep his body healthy after a career of getting abused, as well as his sister’s multiple sclerosis diagnosis in 2000, after seeing hemp have a positive effect on her after every other treatment failed (The Multiple Sclerosis Foundation denies hemp’s value as a treatment). But the misconceptions of hemp’s cannabis influence, and laws in the United States that prevent it from being grown domestically, presented obstacles.
So, Penn’s Pier will be the temporary home of the hemp movement in Philly on Saturday, with acts like Matisyahu and Rebelution, as Cote and Hemp Heals do their best to convince the masses that hemp and marijuana are two different things.

Hemp movement news from Washington State: House Bill 1888

It is always welcome news when I can post an a new state taking on the hemp issue. So far Kentucky, Colorado, California, Oregon, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Dakota, South Dakota and North Carolina have all got some news items on this blog. Washington joins the frey, and I am hoping to start a New York initiative here, hopefully reps Jerrold Nadler who co-sponsored Ron Paul's bill and Carolyn Maloney

(NY's 8th and 12th districts) will support this. All 50 states could benefit, so let's see 40 more posts of this genre - and of course let's get lots more signatures on the petition to the White House at www.minawear.com/about-us/

 

 

 

 

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A legislative committee has approved a bill that would allow Washington farmers to grow industrial hemp.

Washington officials are in the process of establishing a system to legalize the production and sale of marijuana for recreational use, following passage of Initiative 502 last fall. But that initiative didn't cover the production of hemp or hemp products.

House Bill 1888 would permit development of an industrial hemp industry in Washington. A House committee approved the bill Thursday, sending it to the full House for a vote.

Nine other states have passed laws allowing hemp production, but none grows hemp as a crop. The federal government still bans the plant.

Hemp support in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania back in the day was a hemp growing state; many Amish had their mills grinding it and the ropes were made of it, as was paper; Benjamin Franklin was a paper manufacturer and hemp advocate. Today the powers-that-hate-America seek to keep Pennsylvania poor with their stupid authorative sounding arguments about hemp looking like dope. Go arrest Ben Franklin you hapless idiots if that's what you believe, and take George Washington and Thomas Jefferson with you.
Crain Layne on Radio Pennsylvania tells us about the new movement for Common Sense in the Keystone State:

(Lancaster) -- A state senator's effort to legalize marijuana in Pennsylvania is being applauded by people who say it could be a valuable cash crop.
State Senator Daylin Leach has proposed legalizing marijuana for recreational use and regulating it much like the sale of alcohol through the state store system.
Advocates say legalizing pot and its relative, industrial hemp, could be an economic boon for the commonwealth.
Lancaster County-based hemp historian Les Stark says the plant has dozens of uses.
"It's a natural, non-toxic, non-lethal, renewable, sustainable resource for food, fuel, fiber, medicine, paper, plastics, fiberboard and thousands of other products," Stark says.
Governor Corbett calls marijuana a "gateway drug" and says he would veto any legalization bill.
The most recent Franklin and Marshall College poll shows 55 percent of respondents oppose legalization.
However, the same survey by the Lancaster-based college reveals 82 percent of those surveyed "strongly" or "somewhat" favor medical marijuana.
