Above is a picture of a mother grieving her son who was lost as collateral damage in Canada's drug wars. So that cops can lie to you like this.
These three documentaries entertained me last night. I had spent a day tooling around with my pal Rainbow John. He brightens up my spirit with his endless optimism and untiring activism.
We started out by viewing the documentary "The Freed Man" done by Jadis about Chief Justice Bud the Oracle recently. John is a former documentary maker and he liked it very much. We smoked a couple of joints and did some strolling to and around Trout Lake. I like Johns company. He is not shy and very friendly so we meet and talk in an engaging way with everyone whose path we cross. Some great young people and a few older ones kept us entertained. When I catch a side long glimpse of John holding forth passionately at his age of 74 I wonder if I am not seeing glimpses of myself in the future. We are different people but do share many personality traits. I like how his spirit seems undiminished and his curiosity is wide and deep.
Watching the documentaries about the times I lived through made me nostalgic for those times again but more so assured that I am even now on the correct path. I had been against the Vietnam war, believed in the corruption of America by the industrial military complex, asked "What are we fighting for?" with country Joe and the fish. I had demonstrated on the peace bridge then about Alaska's nuclear bast and was banned from the US for 17 years. I had read silent spring and demonstrated on behalf of the environment against the dangers of oil spills. I have endured decades of war rhetoric by morons in establishment papers and TV programs. Always denied the reasoned pragmatic solution by idiots like those in charge in Canada and the USA. Gang violence as predicted by us is all around the world due to America's war on drugs. Tens of thousands die for this lie yearly. Oil gushes out befouling the world's oceans unstoppable because these greedy bastards are supported by unthinking citizens who are addicted to gasoline. !46 Canadians are dead in Afghanistan because failed American world domination wars and still the morons mouth something about patriotism. Why do only the worst ideas perpetrated by lying lowlifes get implemented? Why are people so fucking stupid? So lazy and uncaring? Why aren't we all as engaged as Rainbow John? Why are so many content to believe obvious lies? It's our future and peaceful coexistence that is at stake. Isn't that enough to engage people?
Our Prime Minister licks the boots of America war mongers and sends out his citizens to be punished for selling seeds instead of telling the American psychotic monster where to get off. Canadians are so friggen stupid that they don't seem to care. Our press is on side withe the propaganda and compliant with the government in the role of police state propaganda machine.
Every thing around us is a mountain of lies which are designed to control the masses of morons willing to believe them.
It turns out that the two people killed near Cranbrook in a "Targeted Killing" were probably collateral damage in drug turf wars after all. My comment below it as Shatner Bassoon is too kind and wrong. They were like not involved but had moved into the house recently. There you can add two more innocent people to the murder and mayhem caused by Stephen Harper lie list
And on it goes. The comment most agreed on in the Winnipeg CBC article starts out
Here is a simple idea to help control the expanding crime and violence that is engulfing Canada in the last few years. How about we change our immigration laws and stop accepting people, with no training or education and nothing to offer Canada, from crap hole third world countries where life has little to no value and crime is a way of life....
A half century of this bullshit is what I have been listening to.
Might this treatment be a real, simple, pragmatic solution? (The first link was to a CBC national video ) Why in the frig wouldn't we try it rather than keep going through the same endless error loop? It's not like we are succeeding in keeping this deadly substance off our streets with our present policies. What do we have to loose except our delusions? The guy in the end of the video spout bs about the addicts in Calgary for sure coming here to Vancouver is a moron. The whole idea of this program is top dispense heroin through any drug store in the country for those who need it. That way you prevent people coming to Vancouver to have more accessibility to drugs.
Breaking news!Prince George RCMP announces largest grow op bust in history. 18,000 plants the names sound oriental one from BC and one from Quebec. Wanna bet that no one of significance will shake down from this. The other thing is this thing might represent a coup by the RCMP but it also represents a void in production, an opportunity needing to be filled.
The gangs are a direct result of the lucrative black market which has lured these ruthless entrepreneurs into participating in it. From the escalating profits these people arm themselves with American weapons. Without the huge profits from prohibition they would not have the power that they do.
My own experience makes me well aware of the dilemma facing many people: I have no current resume and if it wasn't for friends I would have a hard time getting any work at all. Crime and criminal organizations don't require resumes. This makes it very easy to recruit more gang members no matter what the government does. Think about how a young person might have a difficult time getting a low paying job, while criminal opportunities abound around them. There is no other outcome for such a model than increased crime, gang membership and lawlessness (a general growing of disrespect for the law.)
The Current this morning is talking about the Shower posse. The talk is of cutting off the flow of money back to Jamaica. "The only way is to deny criminal gangs their grip on society." Really? This is the only thing that hasn't been tried in the last half century. But repeal of prohibition is not on the agenda!
The continuing "solutions" put forth from our governments are guaranteed to escalate these dangers of gang violence as they have been proven to do for the last half century.
These are the facts proven to be so through direct observation of our society in the last half century. What Prime Minister Harper is doing when he submits to the American Drug War Strategy is going against reason and the facts, while delivering more of the same as we have seen.
This sustained apparent idiocy is tolerated and accepted by the citizens as if it has merit. What hope is there other than what the gangs offer? If the government insists on this course of action which encourages the growth of gang power, the outcome is a foregone conclusion. Might as well get on the bandwagon early and stake out your own turf in the jungle. Network with your local criminals, because they will eventually have all the power that counts. Don't get on the wrong side of any of the criminal elements in your community unless you are willing to risk becoming targeted. Check out the statistics and see how often they get someone to court in one of those "targeted killings." Then check out how often there is a conviction in those cases. We all know what will be the outcome the next time the police are investigating one of those targeted killings. The witnesses will not have good memories and be reluctant to be forthcoming.
Yeah, you know which side is destined to succeed in this game! Get on it! The war is coming here!
Canadian's failure to elect effective, pragmatic good leadership has caused this problem. The problem is directly due to the citizen's disconnect from their duties. The duty of citizens is to elect good leadership which makes good laws and corrects problems rather than sell out the country to another country's crazy tyranny.
This is a solution for all countries in the world: look to the safety of your own communities and make laws which benefit your own citizens rather than sell out for economic favored trade status with the American monster for the benefit of business class. Let these entrepreneurs operate on their own merit without burdening our society with laws that encourage CRIME. If they can't compete, rather than bail them out, let them sink.
Think about the fact that the police are withholding my camcorder illegally as the Crown Attorney released it last week. They have no understanding of the importance of PR on a personal individual basis. Cops feel like they are above the laws and act accordingly. This policy will eventually come back to haunt them as we all can see in the daily loss of respect which they deservedly unleash upon themselves. It's part of their own built in power homeostasis. If they get too arrogant their own behavior will come back to change them through the reaction it garners.
Constable Christian #2187 is doing his petty thing and ignoring the law because he can. No one can make him obey the law for the greater good of the the Rule of Law, he can ignore it and do his own petty crime without censure. I have called up the message center 604 717 3349 and left a couple of messages. No response.
Cops get away with breaking the laws all the time and there is no recourse, no rule of law. At every turn large or small it is apparent which side has won: the side of crime and corruption.
NO RULE OF LAW. Rahim Jaffer gets off. Benjamin Monty the drunk driving mounty gets off after killing Orion Hutchison. Also after doing Robert Djeikanski at the airport. For Ian Bush, for David Knipstrom. Cops usually get away with all crimes large or small, including murder.
And they think this will garner them respect?
I guess if their reasoning tells them that prohibition is the way to go, then their irrational disrespectful unlawful behavior during citizen interactions might seem perfect, too!
Here is a portrait of what the criminal entrepreneur is really like. The draw to the streets is made all the sweeter if the carrot is big and juicy. This is the draw of Lawlessness that I keep referring to.
This is so fascinating. What kind of loyalty, what kind of hold does this man command? 60 lives lost so far and they are not giving him up. This is more power and support than any Canadian politician has gotten during the last 3 decades, if ever. If you scratch just a tiny bit below the front page hype on this one, look carefully at Mexico, and compare them to our homegrown tinpot despots in Ottawa and the corruption they wreak on the entire land, you will see what the real problem is.
The real Problem is this: The United Snakes of Amerika is undermining law and order on a global scale, exporting their puritanical Prohibition laws along with its military and economic clout. If they controlled and regulated their own population's voracious appetite for drugs while at the same time leaving off with upholding corrupt criminal governments whose only claim to fame is that they do Amerika's bidding to their own citizenry without a whimper, the citizenry would not be prayed upon by organized crime. It is the lucrative nature of the uncontrolled drug market which makes it rewarding to peddle more and more drugs to younger and younger Americans. Where ever drugs are legalized/decriminalized their use dramatically decreases.
I wonder at the charisma a "gangster" like this Dudus has. There has to be something they are not saying about this man, this story. To paint this man as a drug kingpin and nothing else doesn't explain the fierce loyalty that is plain to see.
Is this what it will take to finally start telling Amerika to fack off? Neighborhood insurrection at the gangster level to show the world that some people are not so keen on letting another country fetch one of their number from their country is what it might take.
Why should the Amerikan administration be allowed to perpetrate world tyranny with idiotic prohibition laws which encourage gangsterism for ever? Enough is f*cking enough isn't it? I mean they plucked Marc Emery from our Country without hardly a whimper for selling seeds.
That's right, for selling seeds in the year 2010, a man who paid taxes to our government has to serve 5 friggen years in an Amerikan Jail. This is for a crime not even prosecuted in Canada. I would rather be a Jamaican today than a Canadian.
These people have a spirit of self determination that is lacking in Canadians. You can have all the gold hockey glory in the world, but it is this measure of fierce resistance which will be the indicator of a nation's future sovereignty.
What you are seeing is the seeds of Amerika's drug war coming to fruition here and in Mexico. Amerika, since Nixon has created many men with vast empires who hate Amerikan law, are well armed and ruthless, will reap what it sows. The war on drugs has spawned a world wide disrespect for law and government and an increase in lawlessness. Now these elements born of prohibition are ready to bear their bitter fruit.
Thousands killed in Mexico, hundreds killed in Canadian drug turf enforcement, hundreds to thousands killed in many other countries all to prop up terminal idiocy in puritanical thinking: Prohibition
It goes against the laws of nature to try to control another person's diet and yet we are forced to endure this crazy idiocy called Amerika's war on drugs.
Have a good look around this will be happening in your neighborhood soon!
How friggen arrogant can you be? The addiction to oil has befouled their coastline as well as that of other parts of the world, all to feed an addictive way of self transport using a fossil fuel burning consumer product, but still some how the USA feels that it has the moral right to determine what state of mind a free adult might wish to access. Can you imagine that? The utter absurdity that the people who allow this to happen, are just what you need to determine your diet!
Marc Boyer has a date tomorrow at 9 am in Provincial court.
Maybe there was no murder after all. It could have been that my source for this info was a bit over the edge and transfer her issues on to an elderly woman's death. The police would have had to investigate in their CSI suites irregardless of the cause of death if she had been deceased for a week. At any rate it makes me feel a whole lot better about it not being an act of violence, one day later.
"Cake" is another prohibitionist's nightmare come to haunt you! These people hit the nail square on the head WITH THEIR VIDEO, pointing out irrational hysteria WHICH IS OFTEN FOUND BEHIND PROHIBITIONIST THINKING.
It was shocking for me to see this news article on the National. I truly know how addictive and destructive tobacco is being free of it for 15 years. The reason why I began to sell to adults over 18 when my store was in operation was to keep adult substances out of the hands of children. It is a mystery to me, when I know the true dangers of tobacco compared to pot or even LSD, why these store owners who sell singles to children don't get jail time? Adults should be allowed to purchase poison like alcohol in my opinion. The control should be focussed on keeping it from the hands of children. I can't understand why I had to spend 2.5 months in jail checking for ID on my customers while these variety store owners can sell deadly and addictive substances to children without seeing jail time?
There was work to be done from 9 am to 2:30 pm but then I rode my bike down to Cambie and Hastings. As we passed the next building a friend volunteered to take the White Wolf. He loves to go in her dog wagon as she is a dog trainer and has regular walks for certain clients. She has taught him and me so much and is a large part of the reason that he has become as socialized as he is. This freed me up to cycle at speed and I got down there in about 15 minutes. Arriving at 4 pm I was early for 420. Had a chance to talk a bit with CB and DML. Smoked some good herb and saw some people I hadn't seen for a while. Was home after 5:00 pm and terribly hungry.
These are always pleasant gatherings with low stress and good people. Why would what we do cause us to become criminals? We don't even need police supervision. Everyone is calm peaceful and happy.
The news was of a violent attack during a robbery to get a pot dealer's product. I know this man to be a peaceful business man with ethics as are most marijuana dealers. But this isn't the first time and there is nowhere to turn to except yourself in upholding your own safety.
Why I opened up a store and demonstrated in Victory Square was to be able to bring this activity into the safety of other normal commercial enterprises. I did call 911 when we were assaulted at Victory Square but rather than go after the violent criminal whose drug turf we were challenging the VPD chose to enforce the CDSA.
So let me explain to you imbeciles who can't put 2 and 2 together, once more, what will happen in this incident multiplied a thousand times. Since the police won't protect you, you have to do something to stay alive. Quitting supplying a natural product to honest people who need it is not an option. There has to be an alternative to alcohol for those who choose it. Tyranny will be fought on its own terms wherever it rears its ugly head.
So if there is no rule of law, having been coopted by organized criminal violence as well as an increase in individual lawlessness and violence, where do you turn?
Let me explain to you that most likely this person will turn to where everyone does eventually in a dangerous lawless jungle, EITHER HE WILL GET HIMSELF A WEAPON OR BETTER YET HE WILL HIRE A WEAPON OR SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO HANDLE A WEAPON.
So let me explain it to you morons, this is the sure way to ratchet up dangerous violent crime in your communities: Make sure that no stores open up to sell it to people over 18. Keep it illegal so that criminals can use the law for their enterprise. Cops will always have job security when you create many petty criminals who supply people with a freedom of choice. Some of these will not be petty criminals though. They will control the lesser ones and set the pace of conflict.
A better crime recruitment and lawlessness escalating program than prohibition could not have been invented. It's a perfect fulfilling, self serving, fully integrated system where politicians get elected spouting its lie, cops get hired to fight the crime caused by bad laws, and society gets fed more propaganda about we need even tougher laws to give more ruthless criminals an even more lucrative reward. The whole insanity is dependent upon a moral judgment which has not been proven valid.
DRUGS ARE NOT AS BAD FOR INDIVIDUALS AS WELL AS SOCIETY AS ARE THE PROHIBITION LAWS.
There is absolutely no way that Canada can escape what has happened to Mexico if we continue to go down this path to ever more lawlessness. Violence and crime only beget more lawlessness and there is no way that the state can keep up with the rate of escalation it causes through stupid laws that go against the freedom of choice people are born with, against human nature, our proclivity to seek out altered states of consciousness.
When you make criminals out of people who sell plants and seeds, you are going against the primacy of nature and you are bound to reap rewards commensurate with such idiocy.
Four hours of tooling around in my sandals and socks yesterday on behalf of the Marc Emery cause was worth it. There is another demonstration happening tomorrow at Victory square 2 pm. Why is this man being tortured for selling seeds when the crime is not prosecuted in Canada. Some people seem to have been inconvenienced. My nice shoes which fit like a glove are still in prison awaiting my return. It's an all day round trip to North Fraser by bus that some of my friends made more than once to visit me. It was almost worth it to have been in there because it has given me perspective and understanding that I am loved by more than a few. No matter how silly I sometimes get, some people stick by me and more seem to find me. That is why we must stick with Marc and all those who fight for this cause.
I am surprised at the increase in my blog attendance since before I went in-as high as 500%. Thanks to everyone. I wish that people who believe in that sort of thing (prayer) would pray for a friend of mine's mother who is very ill. We need more prayer and good will/"vibes" in general for everyone, including those imprisoned. Its about affecting the water molecule with your spirit. I'm getting some more work today, so that is good.
I am sad to hear of the financial and other difficulties people are going through. I feel it too. I know things are getting better for myself as well as others. Happiness is a mental state which can be accessed from any other state of being.
Had a chance to see the documentary that the young film maker from Capilano University made; The Freed Man.
She did a very good job getting the balance of humor, honest insight, and over the "top-ped-ness" just right. The last is not easy to do when you are dealing with someone like Chief Justice Bud the Oracle.
Statements made while on the outer limits of reason such as "I'm captain of this ship" were not as stinging to watch as I thought they would be. Although I did have my runny nose and was my carelessly dressed self for all to see, I was not ashamed of what I said. Considering that I was mostly high on good pot, during the trout lake and store scenes on my favorite 60 mg dose of MDMA I performed well.
There is nothing that I did regret saying or doing. Who I really am as you would meet me in the dog park at that time comes through. She did extremely well to expose the passion of my politics but not to get caught up in them.
Robin the Registrar came through very real as well, including his intellectual brand of good humor. In watching it the diversity of our natures comes through and I again marvel at the pragmatic way Robin and I can work through things although we are political opposites.
The film is exactly what it was commissioned to be: a true slice into our lives at a very special moment in time, and a minor point in history.
I am so glad this young lady got to do it and that she did such a good job!
She has promised to put it up on her Youtube account so that I can embed it into the blog and link to it. Some consent forms to be signed and such. This young lady will do well in her craft, I am sure

Casey Hardison is currently serving a 20 year sentence in the UK for the manufacture of LSD, DMT and 2-CB. Casey defended himself using complex and innovative human rights arguments and continues to challenge the legality of the administration of the Misuse of Drugs Act:
Please don't forget to give to Casey's cause.
The very solid argument belongs to all, was first developed by Casey William Hardison and the legal foundation in search of Justice for Casey: Drug Equality Alliance
These guys at the "DEA" are true activists. Although I may be a recipient (indirectly) of their generosity mostly in 'SITTING IN' on the discussion format, I am honestly astonished at the level of commitment- let me spell that out- unpaid time and effort, that this organization has given to the cause of our freedom.
Remember this spending of a few bucks on your part could pay off in YOU gaining your freedom! Please find their donate button and spend freely. Here is the new battle cry.... Smoke one gram less per week and send $10 to the cause of this wonderful organization or Free Casey cause! No one OVER there is DIRECTLY concerned with Bud the "silly" Oracle, or, Klaus Kaczor and his gang of "demented" men, it is all about getting their wonderful perception of the law in front of a court anywhere in the western world. You too are welcome to contact them and state your case.That, in today's world, is far from the norm.

I am still carrying on this battle for sanity. I spend much time on the issues, and I hope to bring this case further than just the sentence hearing on September 2. If I can, I will ask to be heard at the Supreme Court level to get a stay in the proceedings on the much same argument I put before the Provincial court (See the bottom of this post.) To this end I hope to be able to raise airfare for an advocate from the Drug Equality Alliance to stand up and present the argument free of charge. The chances are not all that great, but we are working at the documentation to be heard at the Supreme Court level all by our amateur selves. It is our hope that we might get this argument before the courts somewhere in the world to raise the spirits and chances for freedom for Casey William Hardison who is still serving out his 20 year sentence. I don't know about you, but I can't just sit on my ass and dream about the times I used to get high, when this man and so many others are being tormented in prison for their belief in human rights. There is a strong likelihood that I too may be returned to jail at the time of sentencing but whatever it might be is nothing to the amount of time others are doing for supplying you with some nice psychedelic adventures to practice your freedom.
