I think its rather nice of John to entertain us with his memories and thoughts. in the first one we range from Marc to James Cagny in our discussion.
In the second one he shares his impressions of the start of WW2 as a four year old and his memories of the air armada on D-day overflying him as a 9 year old. Something about the lack of chocolate eclairs shaping him into his peace activist role.
While uploading this video I was listening to "Ideas" a favorite radio program on CBC. Tonight's show fit right in with John's attitude of seeing the beauty in the world:“Beauty Will Save the World!” CBC producer Frank Faulk
Why should we discourage this type of behavior in older people? Why are tokers of all ages persecuted by the government? Are we not peaceful loving people? Why does the Government hate us, make us criminals? Is this not the type of elder one would want in a society?
To look at a possible merger as impossible because of old party allegiance, is to ignore the natural way of things evident all around us: evolution.
In the birth of something new, undreamed of possibilities arise.
The most dangerous problem facing Canada today is it's unwillingness to move forward, to seize the new day in a new way.
In all of the recent dithering and government dysfunction can't we see that the solution is a simple change of mind; adopting a malleable mental attitude.
It is what used to be called progress. Are we so mired in past doctrine that we are unwilling to embrace a new future? If ever there was a time to unhook from former ways, to experiment with something different, it would be now.
It wouldn't hurt the liberals to become more democratic, while the New Democrats could use some liberalization.
Why not think of the people of Canada, not your respective parties for once?
In the title link you can see that there are some cracks in the deceitful facade.
In the pictures above, you have three cops of the VPD enchanting a lady whose dim understanding of the issues leads her to believe that drugs are prohibited in the Bible. She will pray for me because I choose to exercise God's gift of Freedom of Choice. There are those who don't wish to employ any reason but believe every lie. I leave off with the impossible mission of speaking logic to her quickly, not wishing to cast my pearls before the slugs.
These three cops chatted with me only a few minutes prior to this encounter as I was tying up my bike at the other end of the Art Gallery Square. They were aware of who I was (my fame precedes me) and my last encounter near by with Rainbow John (where I lost my camera) They wanted to know what the protest was all about and were quite civil, almost respectful. Strangely, I get this sense in the property room gang of the VPD, too. Adrienne Switzer even went out of her way (and she does have a full schedule hanging people for drug crimes) to help garner the release of the camcorder. There is not so much disrespect coming from them as individuals towards me as was the case before.
I rely on my psychedelic's heightened senses. They seldom do me wrong in these kind of directly experienced things. These cops seemed to be "pumping" me for inside info in a good nature way. It is not my nature to hate people on a personal basis for anything. This keeps my water pure. The sense I got was that they were taking what I had to say seriously, maybe not agreeing with it, but mulling it over at the very least.
Maybe my forte would be more of a spokesman in a luncheon, dinner speaker kind of role. I don't think I can make it as a stand up comedian, but perhaps some kind of speaker. I will check into it because I don't know anything about Toastmasters. Maybe politics is not the way to go for me.
Luckily I have good advice coming from close friends. My wish is for always more close friends. When I wonder why a certain person hasn't come by lately, they suddenly show up, happy to see me.
These cops were joyous to have this lady upholding the lie of prohibition so that they could have me under their legal control/as an adversary/as their piece of law enforcement work. They were happy to have her dimwitted logic blowing prohibition smoke their way. You can see their indulgent smug smiles when hearing the lies being rote repeated at them
Just surfing pot TV and found this article below on the front page.
Gotta wonder why people are generally so disconnected from the reality of the loosing proposition prohibition is. We need more voices that slowly and compellingly articulate reason like Paul Armentano Deputy Director of NORML.
Someone whose opinion I trust and employed before to reap success (the court house protest and the video on the TASER warning sign) mentioned raising funds on a self sustaining basis like people raising money for green foundations on the sidewalks while at the same time keeping a softly spoken representative in the field. Raise awareness while raising funds to sustain the person putting in their time plus a bit extra for the organization. This way it would be a way to get people involved on their street scene anywhere in Canada. People talented and sincere, hardworking could make a go at it in the larger cities high traffic areas.
I'm thinking about running for the Marijuana Party again (only thought about it before-never ran yet). I don't like doing this alone though and I need someone to help manage and keep the books straight (accounting is not my forte). It would be nice to have an experienced campaign manager/organizer, too. Their first advice would probably be to run in David Emerson's riding as a better strategy with TADD.
I thought about doing it before because the Marijuana Party pretty leaves its candidates to be independents, except for the marijuana legalization platform.
That would leave me free to promote my TADD platform (Google) Technology Assisted Direct Democracy. That way I can promote my politics, my ideas and myself and try to raise awareness while adding to my income if possible.
I have applied for East Vancouver, Libby Davies' riding. It would be fun to go up against her as, I voted for her the last time. I would need to explain to people why they should vote for me rather than her with respect. I think that I could do this. Something about wanting to speak on this subject in public draws me.
The S-10 protest has made me consider what I personally can do better.
I actually liked campaigning for council. It was fun to talk, and, mostly as I learned to do towards the end, listen to people. The White Wolf could come along and lay on a portable mat with a bowl of water. He's getting better at staying, not as restless as he was.
I have a printer and paper and can have cards made up.
It's not about the winning, although I am playing to win. More importantly it's about the message of safety for the community. Who knows maybe people would like the idea of direct democracy which could be implemented in our riding if I won.
Some people have to have a mission/follow their heart.
I am glad to say that many of my friends are seriously impacted by the oil spill in the gulf. Rather than think of the doomsday scenarios myself I take a pragmatic view of things and hope that this will be the impetus to serious change which we are all hoping for. Come on and have a good time hippy tripping with the White Wolf and I.
Some things are scary to face but face them we must sooner or later. What you see us doing is about 5 hours of fun time totally devoid the burning of any fossil fuels. I wish I had more money flowing in, more security, but I do have my health and a sense of happiness/good humor.
Who knows what the morrow will bring? Good things I hope.
The first 2 videos are of the day that John and I were accosted by the VPD in the end of January where I lost my camcorder.
During the initial part of the smoke in we bothered no one. Only when we came across these neo Nazi security goons did conflict arise. The reason is this stupid law which give these violent types a reason to disrupt your peaceful behavior. No one else except these fat law enforcement wannabe types was bothered by me having a smoke.
The last video was of June 5th S-10 protest. The usual characters including the white wolf.
Best quote of the day: Girls who smoke pot are hot.

This means that something I did a year ago is still getting attention. What is interesting is the search and the post that I did after our appearance at the Justice Committee.
Next I went up and paid almost half of my rent; a good start. The manager is a decent fellow and we chatted about things. He's quite the artist and is also of Polish extraction as well as his hardworking wife. It's good to have people who can do their job properly.
Then I walked with the White Wolf for some more work which also went well. It was assembling IKEA drawers for kitchen cupboards and the White Wolf came along. Part of the happiness came from having finally gotten some decent used shoes. Until last Friday I had been wearing my open sandals (not conducive to walking). Already my legs are getting stronger, recovering after the extended lack of exercise in jail.
Next I walked home and received a call from my buddy about the new videos he got up today. I enjoyed the excitement in his call. It's contagious! I'm glad I know many people like this.
My buddy rainbowjohn1 is getting better with his video output. He takes us to his Island paradise and reveals the soul of a happy person.
and some eagles and damned cows
We are going to succeed at making this world a better place because we are committed and we ain't giving up. John and I have been to jail and we are still undeterred, happy to do this because it gives us good payback karma/lots of fun. We like people and angels and we are in this struggle for the long haul. I'm glad to be his friend and hope to have the energy and talent that John has when I get there in only a few short years.
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.
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.
