The New Propaganda
By Jay R. Cavanaugh, Ph.D.

Many awoke this Monday to see a full-page advertisement in their morning newspaper (i.e. the Los Angeles Times), vividly linking the use of illicit drugs with murder of families in Colombia. The message is simple; the use of banned drugs is a direct contribution to worldwide terrorism and the slaughter of innocents.

Some now feel they are in the world of 1984 and "Newspeak". Wasn't it just a few months ago that the United States gave a 43 million dollar reward to the Taliban for suppressing opium production? Didn't we just read that the "War on Terrorism" had resulted in the new planting of poppies in Afghanistan?

In Columbia the United States is funding one side in a civil war where extremists on both sides are reaping blood money from the cocaine trade. Did the U.S. declare war on the right wing death squad "narco-terrorists" in Columbia? Or just the left wing "narco-terrorists"? Is the question now academic since the government makes clear that it is the appetite for banned drugs here in America that is responsible for worldwide terrorism?

Sensible citizens in local communities have already decided that folks with drug abuse problems need treatment not incarceration. They have also decided that honest and intense education for our children is far past due. They resent the twisted logic of the government in its latest propaganda effort. We used to call announcements from our government "news". Now, few are sure just what to call it. If our fellow citizens are responsible for terrorist murder, is the government now calling on "war" on them? Are we to send folks experimenting with banned drugs or medicating with such, to Guantanomo Bay for imprisonment in cages?

Just who is America fighting? Are we fighting the sick and dying who find relief from medical cannabis? Are we assaulting our young people for using bad judgment in youthful experimentation? Why do I keep thinking this is some bad re-run of uptight and stupid parents raging at their children when what really bothers them is that they can't pay their bills or get over the abuse they received as children?

These are questions that must be answered and answered quickly. The entire world is watching America destroy itself and threaten innocents everywhere in what started as a noble cause. It is time for moral sensibility, cool logic, and open debate before perverted personal and cultural attitudes undermine the values that hold America together.

The "War on Drugs" was a failure from the start. Linking it to the "War on Terror" only paints the current war with the stink of the last wars hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy.

An Oily Quagmire Washington is warning Americans that drug addicts help support terrorists. But what about the nation's other habit...

Certainly, they have some evidence on their side. Terrorist groups from southeast Asia to South America are in the drug trafficking business. But in the meantime, another hazardous American addiction goes unchallenged. No crusade has been launched against a national dependency that delivers billions of dollars each year to foreign powers whose support for terror is far from fanciful: Oil.

How many new victims of kkkoalition violence now that Bushit's D.E.A.th Czar has declared war on tye dyes, touring Colombia spraying Monsanto on Native gravesites protecting the Crude Oil, pushing the fear of the caraboo deer the same as the birds in the midwest.
Protecting us from terrorist who were aided by US previously, sounds dumber than $17 screwdrivers, must have used Arther CPA's, still a waste. Could it be after 30 years of sactions, bombs and starvation, that a well off OPEC Jim Jones could possibly use these victims as wingnut kami kazi's aiming at the heart of fascist behind their plight and waving flags of the same plastic shouting violent slogans is just plain old Nationalism not American or patriotic when the Bill of Rights is stripped for an impossible end that only profits perpetuating the product sold as WoD. The war on drugs they don't sell. Rope is most of Cannabis removed and Cannabis the Keystone of WoD and WoD the meat and potatoes of run amuck wealthy and their political puppets selling our heratege to International Conglomerants, outlawing natural alternatives that don't use the petro chem pesto- herbocides or radioactive fertalizers mixed with aluminum by product dentrafices, rising nitrates causing the naive GOPer op rescue voters banging heads with old hemp bibles, preaching zero tolerance of plants and womens choices. Blaming the rise in their own they name misscarrages on God's wrath or will or something as silly. Harpers said the same group of bible belt anti choice spouters have most of the abortions as well as the bad trips on drugs. The mindset of the man ruling the household as well as the boy teenager in the back seat of the station wagon going to whom for advice 3 months later? The nearest clinic outside of their area. Who is more of a market for street drug overdose or adulteration? One taught the truth or one going to the head of a DARE class of Bushit or religious forced treatment or incarceration's $trillion business.

None of the 20,000 or so have to die from illegal drugs, not cannabis that hasn't taken one or by withdrawal like alcohol or over the counters 100,000 or so. Only WoD kills for mo rals of these Ashcroft, Walters, Pat & Jer traveling majik smoke and mirror shows. Hemp is called Asa in Japan now Asa hates it even more than with Starsearch busting Clinton's sexcapades. Farmers could have been growing our own soverign crop if not for the Farben subsidiary korpses and their lawyers and CEO's now legislating in the Senate and Congress, gutting the safetynets, maintaining dysfunction's addiction to fossil fuel and forest and cottons 270,000 tons of petro chems poisoning water and field workers while organic hemp uses more chemicals by cops eradicating it from bloated budgets... chasing rope instead of terrorist. And AMA Upjohn Inc pushing more chems in treating chemical illnesses, prevention, like peace, doesn't profit. No medical value $$$ Homegrown in the kitchen. How many more will die from brain trauma or asthma cause research is banned? How many wars and how many kids will die protecting what we could grow at home in peace? How many more Enrons and Exxons and Nexxons Bushit Rayguns Inc. Where are the voices telling us of the 650 chemicals added to tobacco products not added to ganja yet compared quite often? Chemicals behind DARE and Family Research Counciln Partnerships with drugs that are legal, still used in producing cocaine from plantlife just never mentioned. Blame the tobacco farmer and let it rise the price and black market to raise even more money and taxes earned from whats spent. Hypocrites wasting 400,000 lives not even listing these killing additions not in organic tobacco nor are the illnesses and death rates, until NAFTA/GATT opened the gates to kill outside the borders, the WTOrchestrations of the New Weird Odors.

Sacramentally cannabis is the oldest, found in Archiology not edited broshures of theory. Temple Incense made of hashish did Jesus and Moses all pull Clintons? Hours at a time? Now 735,000 arrested for possessing the same plant as Bush Gore and Clinton, inhaling or not. Time to fuel the boilers with biomass not Bunker C oil, same with roads. Planting hemp between crops as a natural herbocide and pesticide removing even more chemicals from the aquafer. 12# of chemical fresh watered grain from every pound of Mickey D. Bad enough supplying us now its bulldozing rainforest just to graze cows required to feed the NAFTA/GATT market. Hempseed is now illegal, though a short reprive. If it shows a trace amount of any thc. That is in every human body naturally for some reason, traces can't get you high, that dreaded euphoric demon possession causing us to play jazz and swing whatever the hell that is. Like the stepping stone to drugs not invented yet. Prohibition is the harm on society profiting the G8 competition, who also own most of the media. Will AOL or GE really care about promoting this plants usefullness if it cost them the bottom line? Business 101. $30 billion spent each year is $30 billion earned and taxed again. When the US debt goes to $5 trillion and the IMF banksters loan us enough to cover it, at $200 billion a year interest, and the family raising the debt happens to own stock in the banks might explain why his kid is giving the rich tax refunds while increasing war machine budgets for his friends to sell their bombs and guns and ammo and more gas guzzling tanks and hummers and sikorskies and the Dyncorps shooting missonary babies collaterally damaging peasant farmers children and native graves. Selling Bud in a bottle between anti drug commercials. In the name of the same korpses behind pot extinction. No bystanders, you just aid the perpetuation and thats what pays, not zero tolerance. Like the beer swigging two fat polka dancers stuffing their faces with brunswagger and strudle while the Nazi's crept on past them scapegoating those who didn't fit their master race plan, as today or the aftermath when McCarthy added god to the pledge of allegience, shunning and propaganda selling cold war to the nation, then Korea Vietnam Standard Oil and Defense contracts keeping commie despots at bay, the forefathers were Deist not Christians. Grenada, a Christmas gift to Ronnie from his pals at the pentagon, Panama retreiving loose end Noreaga xCIA coke warlord and Sadamns same xCIA Goofy Golf war protecting Vanderbilt Oil, Bosnia Kosovo straight shot to the Balkan Reserves now Unocle's pipeline in Afghan what a surprize. The state of this Union: Corrupt!

The D.E.A.th are "Arbitrary and Capricious"
"Arbitrary and capricious" is legal language that was used by DEA Administrative Law Judge Francis Young in 1988 to conclude that DEA was obligated under the Controlled Substances Act to reschedule marijuana as a prescription medicine. DEA Chief Administrator Robert Bonner proceeded to arbitrarily and capriciously disregard Judge Young's well researched and reasoned decision, which the Act allowed him to do.)

Hi, DdC. Just wanted to ask if you are going to march on Washington on April 20. I will be there, Jah willing. How do I find out what kind of protest sign I can make and be legal? Don't they have a certain guideline for protest signs?

<H1>END PROHIBITION! MARCH ON WASHINGTON APRIL 20!</H1>

Peace. Realize, then Legalize.

DdC

Hey toker,

I'm hoping something happens in SF otherwise I'm probably going to stay near the patient I'm caring for and supervising 24/7. As far as apropriate signs I haven't heard a thing. Though the absolute truth might get you busted for obsenities. If my situation changes I might be there and I'll give ya a holler.

I have a feeling that we're screwed until he gets out of office. Even then,people are going to have to undo all of the mess he's made. He's a little bitch.

Thanks, DdC. I realize the job you do has no back-up system. Most people would never take the risks or have the compassion to do what you do. Keep it up, bro. Maybe someday we can toke one legally, and at a celebration, not a protest.

Peace. Realize, then Legalize.
