Department of Hempland Security

One of the arguments against letting Americans grow hemp for raw materials and produce jobs is that law enforcement could not tell it apart from dope...funny, George Washington never had any problem with this, he grew lots of hemp, and it was used
for 200 years, no, more - in America - for official purposes.
Many cops are FOR hemp. So who are these cops who are standing in the way? GOP nutters or NRA members? Who knows. Here in New York it turns out that the cops are busy riding the highways with criminal bikers, and smashing the windows of a vehicle carrying a man, his wife and a 2-year-old daughter. This assortment of cops and robbers then beat the man silly in front of his terrrified family, after chasing his vehicle for miles. Alexian Lien has his face slashed by these thugs.

At first the cops involved exercised their right to silence; or no, they had no right to silence as their badge compels them to make a report, so they just stayed silent while Americans were beaten and kicked and scared for their lives. And the story kept getting worse and worse; at first, they said a cop happened to be riding with them - and conveniently, he did not give his name citing his role as an undercover. Then he says he was in the back of it all; then it turns out he was smashing the window with great force, and last night the news said there could be as many as six cops involved. And strangely, the criminals are hardly getting charged. The whole pack should face charges as accessories, child endangerment, etc. etc. While some news sources are not naming - and shaming the cops - let me give their names here: Detective Samir Gonsalves and Wojchiech Braszczok. The latter is the one who is accused of smashing the window. And are there four more? Or more than four more? Gonsalves incidentally is already facing charges of beating a female prosecutor. And oh, Braszczok was an undercover posing as an OWS protestor a couple years back...no wonder that movement never made any headway and NEVER TOOK ON THE HEMP ISSUE - see my previous posts on that story...


So are we really going to listen to a bunch of lawmakers and cops-who-ride-with-robbers tell us that we cannot grow hemp? Yes, if we are stupid. Utterly stupid.
Time to call your congressman and senator and make them VERY uncomfortable if they are aiding and abetting the beatdown of America. And also you might ask that the whole pack of bikers - including ALL cops - be prosecuted for child endangerment, unsafe riding, and terrorism - this last word is not being used but yes this is terrorism, when a nation's roadways are taken over and its citizens are terrorised. Where is Homeland Security on this issue?

Maybe time to start a new agency: the Department of Hempland Security. Grow hemp and keep terrorist bikers and rogue cops in jail.

Amen.

RISE UP BY SITTING DOWN AND PROTESTING

As I sit and blog, I am protesting. And I am hearing protest outside the window at 53rd & 7th in Manhattan. Hundreds of marchers have convened on the Sheraton while Obama is in town. For many reasons, I am not going to quit my protest and join theirs. So much for their claim that they are the 99% - of what? And what are they accomplishing? How many of them are wearing hemp? Just about 0%; but how many of them support violence? 31%, one poll says. And how many of them even know the name of their reps and have written a letter to them?
After spending time with this bunch of arrogant rich kids - many may not know this, but far from being poor the leaders are so filthy rich that they sleep in $700-a-night hotel rooms - I came to the conclusion that it would lead to nothing. Journalists became very opinionated, either for or against them, with outlandish claims made on both sides, the New York Post in an all-out war with the New York Daily News over this, but did any of the reporting do any good? I talked to journalists about the hemp issue while I was there, but the journalists wanted outlandish images, and I ahd to challenge one by asking if he was an American and if so, would he not want to report on something that would make a difference to Americans? Hell no, he just wanted weird images of so-called protesters. To hell with America was the press response.
Ron Paul's bill for hemp farming in the US was not once discussed by any of these journalists or rich kid bagels-n'-lox eating louts. Or the poor louts among them who slept rough and defecated on people's doors. Instead, they ran around and many of them, including Joshua Fellows, broke the law in the most hypocritical of ways. The 'peaceniks' actually managed to get arrested for having unlicenced handguns. Great. Welcome to NY, you're here to save the world. But getting a licence for your gun, or even for you car, is beyond your capabilities.
What would happen if this lot were granted power? Things are bad. And they would change. For the worse.
So anyone reading this who thinks the OWS is out to save you, please do not waste your time with them. Instead, join the real protest and write a letter to your reps in support of hemp and Ron Paul's hemp bill - making sure you point out that this would give jobs to Americans.
Jobs is something the OWS does not seem to get their heads around. It's not about $700-a-night hotel rooms for spoiled idiot organisers, it's not about illegal guns and driving dangerously and illegally, it's about the economy stupid...and hemp is a viable part of that, well worth protesting about. Please do; but in a fashion that is effective.
