ACLU Offers Help
ACLU Offers Help in Pot Case By Brian Wargo
October 15, 2005, Las Vegas Sun
Nevada -- Accusing Boulder City of legalized extortion, the state's American Civil Liberties Union has offered to help a 56-year-old woman convicted of misdemeanor pot possession fight the city's threat to seize her $400,000 home or force her to pay to keep it.
Although Boulder City, which accused Warren of selling marijuana out of her home, filed a lawsuit in April to confiscate her house, it also is discussing a deal that would allow her to keep it for a payment of up to $100,000.

The Ganjawar Fraud...
Certain American industrialists had a great deal to do with bringing fascist regimes into being in both Germany and Italy. They extended aid to help Fascism occupy the seat of power, and they are helping to keep it there."

From Whom Did the Fascists Get Support?
Italian fascism and German Nazism had their admirers within the U.S. business community and the corporate owned press. Bankers, publishers, and industrialists, including the likes of Henry Ford, traveled to Rome and Berlin to pay homage, receive medals, and strike profitable deals. Many did their utmost to advance the Nazi war effort, sharing military industrial secrets and engaging in secret transactions with the Nazi government, even after the United States entered the war. During the 1920s and early 1930s, major publications like Fortune, the Wall Street Journal, Saturday Evening Post, New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and Christian Science Monitor hailed Mussolini as the man who rescued Italy from anarchy and radicalism.
