UPDATED with Addendum- DC Dave: “Jews” Tried to Kill Truman in 1947

“Jews” Tried to Kill Truman in 1947

The date is December 3, 1972, and it’s right there in a headline of the Tri-City Herald, the newspaper that serves Pasco-Kennewick-Richland in the state of Washington:  “Jews sent President Truman letter bombs, book tells.”  The newspaper picked up the article, we see, from the Associated Press (AP).

Not only does the article carry the authority of the AP, but the book in question bears the authority of none other than President Harry Truman’s own daughter, Margaret.  It is her biography of her father, entitled simply Harry S. Truman, and at the time the article was written, the book had just been published.   The passage in question—a long paragraph that begins on page 489 and ends on page 490 (pp. 533-534 of the paperback edition)—is in a section on threats and attempts on President Truman’s life.  Note that she misidentifies Anthony Eden as Foreign Secretary, which he had not been since 1938.  Later, of course, he would become Prime Minister.  Ernest Bevin was Foreign Secretary in 1947, and he was the primary target to the assassination attempts:

In the summer of 1947, the so-called Stern Gang of Palestine terrorists tried to assassinate Dad by mail.  A number of cream-colored envelopes about eight by six inches, arrived in the White House, addressed to the President and various members of the staff.  Inside them was a smaller envelope marked “Private and Confidential.”  Inside that second envelope was powdered gelignite, a pencil battery and a detonator rigged to explode the gelignite when the envelope was opened.  Fortunately, the White House mail room was alert to the possibility that such letters might arrive.  The previous June at least eight were sent to British government officials, including Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden.  The British police exploded one of these experimentally and said it could kill, or at the very least maim, anyone unlucky enough to open it.  The mail room turned the letters over to the Secret Service and they were defused by their bomb experts.  The Secret Service still screens all our mail.

The AP article also reminds us that the news of the aborted attack on Truman did not originate with Margaret Truman, some quarter century after the fact.  It had been reported in far greater and more accurate detail by White House staff mail reader Ira R. T. Smith (with Joe Alex Morris) in his 1949 book, Dear Mr. President … The Story of Fifty Years in the White House Mail Room.  Fortunately, that entire book is now online here.  This is from pp. 229-230:

On another occasion, in the summer of 1947 I was summoned back to Washington from my vacation because controversy over important issues, including the Palestine question, had greatly increased the volume of mail to the President.  I was rather surprised that the volume should be more than could be handled routinely by the office but when I got back I found that not all the difficulty was due to volume.  Some of the letters received had obviously been intended to kill.

There had been a flurry in England in June of that summer because eight or more government officials and political personages had received terrorist letters in which explosives were cleverly concealed.  Among those who got such letters were Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin, Colonial Secretary Arthur Creech Jones, President of the Board of Trade Sir Stafford Cripps, and former Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden.  Cripps’s secretary noticed that the letter he received was hot (police said later it was apparently about ready to explode) and he stuck it in water.  Eden carried his letter unopened in his briefcase for twenty-four hours before a secretary, tipped off by police, found it.  There were two envelopes, the outer one about eight by six inches and cream-colored.  The inner envelope was marked “Private and Confidential,” presumably in an effort to see that it was opened by the man to whom it was addressed.  Inside the second envelope was powdered gelignite, a pencil battery, and a detonator arranged to explode when the envelope was opened.  Police exploded one experimentally and said that it was powerful enough to kill a man.  The so-called Stern gang of Palestine terrorists later claimed responsibility for having sent the letters from its “branch in Europe.”  The letters were postmarked from Italy.

The same kind of terrorist letters had been found in the White House mail, and as a result the staff had been handling all letters with great care, thus slowing up the routine.  So far as I know none of those received in this country resulted in an explosion, which may have been due to the excellent system introduced for handling the White House mail during the war.

Upon reading these two accounts, two questions come immediately to mind:  Why is this attempted assassination of the president of the United States not common knowledge and what is the larger political context?  That is to say, why would the Stern Gang want to kill President Truman?

Why Kill Truman?

Addressing the second question first, the reader can’t help but note that the books use the identical vague term “Stern Gang of Palestine terrorists” to refer to the perpetrators.  One might get the impression that they were Palestinian terrorists, except for the fact that the Stern Gang is well known as a Jewish extremist group with a long string of murderous outrages to its credit (or discredit, if you prefer).  Both accounts at least tell us that the White House bombs were part of a pattern, that similar attempts had previously been made by the Stern Gang upon various British officials.  But their common purpose in telling us this is to explain why the White House was on alert for such bombs and was successful in interdicting them.  They don’t give us the slightest clue as to why the bombs might have been sent in the first place.

In 1946 the British were still in political control of Palestine, formerly ruled by the Ottomons, under an arrangement created in the wake of World War I and approved by the League of Nations in 1923.  Prior to WW I, it should be pointed out, Palestine had been part of the Muslim Ottoman Syria since 1516, more than a century before the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock, and before that it had been part of the Muslim Mamluk Empire centered in Egypt.  The Zionist movement, led primarily by Jews from Eastern Europe, was determined to drive the British out and terrorism of all sorts—assassinations, kidnappings, bombings, extortion, etc.—was at the very core of the effort.

The problem with the British was that they were carrying out their commitment under the Balfour Declaration far too conscientiously.   As a means of gaining support from world Jewry, especially in the United States and Russia, against their enemies in World War I, which included the Ottomon Empire, the Balfour Declaration endorsed the idea of a Jewish home (not the Zionist objective of a ‘homeland’ or ‘state’) in Palestine (still at that time under Ottomon control), ‘it being clearly understood that nothing [would be] done which [would] prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine (still at that time under Ottomon control), “it being clearly understood that nothing [would be] done which [would] prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine….”

The Zionists wanted massive Jewish immigration from Europe and total political control of Palestine, with the apparent eventual goal of supplanting the entire non-Jewish population from the area.  Such policies would certainly have been—and have been—prejudicial in the extreme toward the rights of the locals, and the British refused to institute them, incurring the murderous wrath of the terrorist Stern Gang, which counted future Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir (born Icchak Jeziernicky) among its leaders and its brother in terror, Irgun, one of whose leaders was future Prime Minister Menachem Begin (born Mieczysław Biegun).  Why British government officials, and Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin in particular, would have been targeted for killing by the Zionist terrorists can be well appreciated by reference to Bevin’s Wikipedia page.

Although the attempted assassinations in Britain were unsuccessful, the terror campaign against the British worked.  The British gave up their mandate and turned the whole question of Palestine’s future over to the United Nations to decide.  Under heavy pressure from the United States, the majority of the UN General Assembly voted to partition Palestine into Jewish and non-Jewish sectors.  This final arrangement, according to Bevin, was “…so manifestly unjust to the Arabs that it is difficult to see how we could reconcile it with our conscience.”

Terror had worked on the British, but why would anyone have thought it necessary against President Truman, of all people?  With a village and an institute named for him there, he is regarded today as a hero in Israel for defying almost all his foreign policy advisers and recognizing the new Jewish state of Israel as soon as David Ben Gurion declared its existence in May of 1948. But in the summer of 1947 it was far from a foregone conclusion that Truman would come through for the Zionists.  Some idea of his thinking on Palestine at the time can be gleaned from a letter he wrote to a friend, Edward W. Pauley, on October 22, 1946:

That situation is insoluble in my opinion.  I have spent a year and a month trying to get some concrete action on it.  Not only are the British highly successful in muddling the situation as completely as it could possibly be muddled, but the Jews themselves are making it almost impossible to do anything for them.  They seem to have the same attitude toward the “underdog” when they are on top as they have been treated as “underdogs” themselves.  I suppose that is human frailty.    –Robert H. Ferrell, Harry S. Truman, A Life (1994), p. 307.

Some more evidence of his thinking in 1946 can be had from Truman’s memoirs:

My efforts to persuade the British to relax immigration restrictions in Palestine might have fallen on more receptive ears if it had not been for the increasing acts of terrorism that were being committed in Palestine.  There were armed groups of extremists who were guilty of numerous outrages.  On June 16 eight bridges were blown up near the Trans-Jordan border, and two other explosions were set off in Haifa.  The following day there was a pitched battle between Jews and British troops in Haifa, other explosions had started a fire and caused great damage in the rail yards there.  British officers were kidnapped.  Others were shot at from passing automobiles.  Explosions took place in ever-increasing numbers, and the British uncovered a plot by one extremist group to kidnap the British commander in chief in Palestine.  –Memoirs of Harry S. Truman, Vol. 2, Years of Hope (1956). pp. 150-151

Many of the signals being picked up by the Jewish leadership in the United States, as Truman expressed his exasperation over their heavy pressure campaign, could easily have made their way to the Stern Gang, persuading them that in this Missouri Baptist from a relatively humble background they had an American Bevin on their hands:

In June of 1946 he at first refused to see a delegation of all the New York Congressmen, and finally received them only with obvious impatience.  He was no better when the two Senators from the state, [Robert] Wagner and [James] Mead, brought a former member of the Anglo-American Committee of Enquiry (into Palestine) to see him.  “I am not a New Yorker,” Truman is alleged to have told them.  “All these people are pleading for a special interest.  I am an American.” – Roy Jenkins, Truman (1986), p. 117

Particularly offensive to Truman was the attitude of Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver of Cleveland, who, with Stephen Wise, was co-chairman of the American Zionist Emergency Council.  A Republican and close ally of Senator Taft, Rabbi Silver had helped write a pro-Zionist plank in the 1944 Republican platform.  At one point during a meeting in Truman’s office, Silver had hammered on Truman’s desk and shouted at him. “Terror and Silver are the causes of some, if not all, of our troubles,” Truman later said, and at one Cabinet meeting he reportedly grew so furious over the subject of the Jews that he snapped, “Jesus Christ couldn’t please them when he was on earth, so how could anyone expect that I would have any luck.” –David McCullough, Truman (1992), p. 599

Why Don’t We Know?

In 2006 The Times of London had what appeared to be a blockbuster revelation: “Jewish terrorists plotted to assassinate Ernest Bevin, the foreign secretary, in 1946, as part of their campaign to establish the state of Israel, newly declassified intelligence files have shown.” Five terrorist cells from the Stern Gang and Irgun were planning to descend upon London with bombings and assassinations, the MI5 files are said to have shown, but, in the end, only some 20 letter bombs were sent, with Bevin his Tory predecessor Anthony Eden mentioned as among the recipients.

The interesting thing here is that these are treated as brand new revelations, available only because some secret files have finally been declassified.  But as we have seen, the essential facts about the letter bombs in Britain had been published—with even more detail given—in a book in the United States in 1949 and then repeated in outline form in a book by none other than the daughter of the American president.  Another interesting fact is that the 2006 story in The Times was not picked up by a single mainstream news organ in the United States and was even taken down from The Times’ web site within a couple of weeks.  The only reason we still have the full story up on the Internet is that it was picked up by the alternative news organ Information Clearing House (“news you won’t find on CNN,” indeed).

The Wikipedia page on the letter bomb is doubly revealing.  First, for anyone entertaining the fantasy that a mere bomb small enough to be contained in a mail envelope is too trivial a thing to be treated as an assassination attempt, the list of historical examples given is instructive.  The Unabomber, Theodore Kaczynski, killed three people and wounded 27 others with his mailed bombs, and the list is full of other instances of people killed or seriously maimed by them.

Perhaps even more interesting is that as of the date of the publication of this article, eighteen examples of the use of letter bombs are given, but the attacks on such important figures as Truman, Bevin and Eden are not mentioned.  The list even includes an attack on a U.S. vice president in 1915.  Since anyone can put information on Wikipedia as long as it meets that page’s requirements for credibility—which the foregoing revelations certainly do—what we must conclude is that even with the 2006 report by The Times and the 1972 book by Margaret Truman, the fact of Zionist terrorist letter-bomb attacks on major political leaders in Great Britain and the United States is still hardly known by anyone.

We have noted how the U.S. press suppressed the relatively recent news of the attempts on Bevin and Eden.  Writers of history (or is it their publishers?), at least in the United States, are at least as guilty of withholding this information.  Perhaps I did not search diligently enough, but the only Truman biography that I could find that mentioned the letter bomb attack on Truman was that of his daughter.  All those biographies that I consulted were written after hers, and, for some reason, they apparently found this attempted assassination unworthy of mention.*

Even someone as generally well informed about high level skulduggery as this writer had his scholarship diminished by his ignorance of the revelations in the Margaret Truman and Ira R. T. Smith books. When I learned of the Zionist attacks on Bevin et al., I wrote Part 4 of “Who Killed James Forrestal?” subtitled “Britain’s Forrestal,” and included a section that reflected my ignorance entitled “Who Knew?”  It is worth repeating in its entirety here:

Although it is apparent that those signers of the warning letter to The New York Times had no knowledge of the previous attempt on the life of Ernest Bevin, one must wonder who, outside the ranks of British intelligence, did know about it.  In particular, we have to wonder if one so connected to the higher reaches of power in the world as Bernard Baruch, when he warned his friend Forrestal in February of 1949 that he had already become too identified with opposition to Israel for his own good, knew more than he was telling about the danger that Forrestal faced.  And when Forrestal complained about being followed and bugged, did he know that the Irgun crowd had come pretty close to snuffing out the life of his British counterpart?  Could such knowledge have been behind his resistance to commitment to Bethesda Naval Hospital and his reported claim that he would never leave the hospital alive when he attempted to get out of the car taking him there?  Might that have been the revelation from Secretary of the Air Force Symington on the day of Forrestal’s departure from office that drove him into his sudden funk?

And after Forrestal’s death, could there have been any doubt in the minds of those aware of the attempt on Bevin who had ultimately been behind the later crime?  Might these have included those powerful friends such as Ferdinand Eberstadt and Robert Lovett, who had failed to visit him in the hospital and then, when the results of the investigation of his death were never made public, failed to register any public complaint?  At the very least, those in the know included the contemporary and future leaders of Great Britain, and the knowledge that the leaders of the United States government had conspired with Zionist thugs in the assassination of the one courageous voice of reason in their midst would very likely have animated their own future Middle East policy.

Now we can see that those questions almost certainly answer themselves.  Not only would such connected, well-informed people as Baruch, Forrestal, Eberstadt, and Lovett, have known about the Zionists’ attempts to kill Bevin, they would in all likelihood have known about the attempts on Eden and Truman as well.  But thanks to the controllers of information and molders of opinion in our society, most of the rest of us did not know.

Not only was my scholarship undermined by the general blackout of the news of the attempted Truman hit, but so, too, was that of Alison Weir, as reflected in her January article, “Bush & Obama?  Assassination and U.S. Presidents.”  Her article is about the public suggestion of a Jewish leader in Atlanta that Israel might consider assassinating a U.S. president deemed “unfriendly to Israel.”  She observes that such a thing might not be all that farfetched by citing a 1992 article by former Representative Paul Findley of Illinois in which he alleges that Israel, in fact, had pretty advanced plans in 1991 to assassinate President George H.W. Bush and blame it on Saddam Hussein.  She notes, as well, that former Stern Gang leader Yitzhak Shamir was prime minister of Israel at the time.  How much stronger would her case have been had she known about the attempt on Truman!

Even David Duke, in his video, “Israeli Deception against America,” as he details Israel’s terrorist attacks against the United States, seems to be unaware of the attempt on the life of our president, unless his failure to mention it rests on the technicality that in 1947 the state of Israel was still a year away from its creation.

Reflecting on these matters, we are more and more convinced of the truth of the quote by Abraham Lincoln, with which we lead off “America’s Dreyfus Affair, the Case of the Death of Vincent Foster,”  “In this and like communities, public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it, nothing can succeed. Consequently, he who moulds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions.”  And molding public sentiment begins with controlling public information.  On no subject is information more controlled and public sentiment more manipulated than the subject of Israel and Palestine.  Why don’t we know about the attempt by the Stern Gang on the life of Harry Truman?  That’s why.

Coercion and Bribery

Information control might take care of the general public, but that is hardly sufficient for our elected representatives.  On Palestine, as we learn from his memoirs, Truman was amply informed by his foreign policy advisers and by Arab leaders.  For our politicians, Anthony Lawson has charged, the Zionists mainly use coercion and bribery.  Few things are more coercive than assassination, or even an assassination attempt, and if Gore Vidal and John F. Kennedy are to be believed, Truman was strongly influenced by that other measure as well.

*The situation is just as bad when it comes to Bevin.  The most balanced book we were able to find at our local library on the Israel-Palestine question has this slanderous speculation about Bevin’s motives, “…he may have shared many of the vulgar anti-Jewish prejudices of his working-class background, a background he had not forgotten.”  –  Ian J. Bickerton and Carla L. Klausner, A Concise History of the Arab-Israeli Conflict, 4^th ed. (2002), p. 79.  But on the subject of attempts on his life, which are not matters of speculation, the book is silent.

UPDATE:

Addendum

We have discovered further evidence of how little known is this 1947 assassination attempt on President Truman.  There is a Wikipedia page entitled “List of United States presidential assassination attempts and plots.”  Many, if not most of those listed could hardly be regarded as serious assassination attempts.  Nevertheless, as of the date of this writing, it has no mention of the Stern Gang’s attempt on Truman.

The Stern Gang was also treated with unusual deference within certain quarters in the U.S. body politic for a group that had attempted to kill the national leader.  The following passage is from an undated article in the Jewish Post entitled “The Last Campaign How Truman Won in 1948”:

[Henry] Wallace attracted many Jews: around 30% of his followers were Jews. Among them his fund-raiser, William Gailmore, was an ex-rabbi. He controlled the Bronx thanks to Leo Isaacson who was elected to the congress as a member of the progressive party. Many communists and Jewish communists supported Wallace who always was blamed as a front for Moscow. But Wallace did something else, he never forgot to declare his support of Zionism and a Jewish state. On Dec. 1947, he visited Palestine as a guest of the Labor movement. Wallace also believed in the Judeo-Christian idea and a project to develop the Middle-East for Jews and Arabs alike. Furthermore, he helped the ‘Friends of Lehi in the U.S.” (the so-called ‘Stern Gang.’) And Karabell wrote that on July 23, 1948 the Progressive Party’s convention hosted “the Stern Gang, the Israeli underground paramilitary organization that had blown up buildings and assassinated British officials in Palestine…” He wrote that the Lehi (Freedom Fighters of Israel) were close to the Irgun’s Menachem Begin, but Yitzhak Shamir was the Lehi’s commander together with Natan Yellin-Mor and Israel Eldad. Truman was pushed by his pro-Zionist advisors (Mark Cliford) [sic] to support Israel in 1948 in order to attract the Jewish vote away from Wallace’s camp. Also, Dewey was pro-Zionist.

It is certainly outrageous that there should even have been an open organization in the United States that would call itself “Friends of Lehi,” a gang that openly admitted to such crimes as the assassinations of lead UN mediator for Palestine, Count Folke Bernadotte of Sweden, and British Minister of state in the Middle East, Lord Moyne.  That they would be “helped” and their support would be openly welcomed by a candidate for president of the United States is even more outrageous, though from what we know of Wallace, it is quite believable.  However, it is not believable that he would have been so close to them had their 1947 letter bomb attempt upon the life of the president been reported.

The Executive Arm Of The Invisible Government Has Hoodwinked You

A friend and fellow blogger (RawDawg Buffalo) has been on a tear over the Trayvon case. This is a brilliant man, but it appears that he has been taken in by the propaganda intent on doing precisely what it did to him… foster and feed the divide of race so that he and his readers will not focus on the true travesty that is tearing the country apart… the rich bastards who are stealing each and every bit of wealth this country has and impoverishing us all and those intent on ruling us as if we are serfs.

This is not to say that race isn’t an issue in this country. But it is to say that the powers that be understand that they direly need a diversion that will take our attention away from them. Barack Obama is using it to garner the black vote again, after having almost lost them. Just goes to prove how gullible they are. But, whites are equally ignorant and ready to fuel the divide and rhetoric that the “other side” easily sways them to follow.

I have to ask: can’t any of you figure out that you are being used?

I am not defending the “Hispanic Jew”, Zimmerman. He very well may have hunted this dude down and shot him outright, for all I know. Or, for all you know, he may have asked this young man what he was doing in his neighborhood and was attacked and then shot him in self-defense. None of us knows for sure, especially that idiot Mike Tyson. Or the Black Panthers (for all I know, this story is BS, too). Or the KKK (that never showed up as reported).

Does this ignorant ole redneck have to tell you (AGAIN) that anything you read or see on the MSM is propaganda? That their entire purpose is to propel the ignorance and further the divide between us? Are you so far gone that you cannot see the true enemy and you have to feed your hatred by spreading the chasm even farther, instead of coming together to fight the real enemy? Did you not see this glaring example that NBC carried out to make you black folk mad at whites?

That link takes you to DC Dave’s blog and he lays out a little ditty that proves the entire thing seems to be a propaganda attack:

How did the shooting death of one person resulting from an altercation of some sort make it out of the local news coverage in Sanford, Florida, to become not just national news, but virtually the biggest national news story going?  It’s certainly a legitimate question, and it’s one we hoped to see answered by the lead story in today’s Washington Post Style section, “How Martin Case became Martin Story,” subtitled “Scant coverage early on sparked PR campaign.” (Online title, “Trayvon Martin story found the media”)

We can stop right there.  We do learn from the article that there was, in fact, a public relations campaign.  “A pivotal, if little-known, figure in the Martin story’s development was Ryan Julison, an Orlando public relations executive who began working with the Martin family at the behest of its attorneys, Benjamin Crump and Natalie Jackson,” says The Post.

What this means, one may presume, is that the Martin family hired a public relations firm to publicize the story.  But was the initial coverage of the story really unduly scant, thereby “sparking” the PR campaign?

Here’s how the body of the Post article starts:

It began as a routine police-blotter item, a journalistic afterthought. On Feb. 26, the Orlando Sentinel’s online edition devoted a few dozen words to the fatal shooting of an unnamed teenager in the nearby town of Sanford. The story also made the late news that night on WOFL the local Fox affiliate.

The Sentinel followed a day later with another brief item, this one noting the young victim’s name and age: Trayvon Martin, 17. The paper said it wasn’t identifying the shooter, a man in his 20s, “because he has not been charged.” The early police accounts of the episode made it seem nothing more than “a fight gone bad,” recalled John Cutter, the Sentinel’s associate editor.

And then…nothing.

Absent a public relations campaign isn’t this about the coverage one would expect in such a case?  The police had examined the matter.  George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer, was on his home turf.  The police apparently saw sufficient physical evidence to support his assertion that he shot in self defense, and they filed no charges.

As The Post tells it, it was the Martin parents’ outrage over the lack of a criminal charge that led them to the lawyers and thence to this amazingly effective PR guy.  But was it really the family’s public relations campaign that has vaulted this story into the national news, or has something more sinister been at work?  You can read this Style section article as thoroughly and carefully as possible, and nowhere will you find any mention of the malicious role played by NBC and its editing of the tape of the 911 call that Zimmerman made, which makes Zimmerman out to be a racist.  The Post knows about it because it had this little item on Erik Wemple’s very hard to find blog exactly a week ago:

So, if you understood that, it appears that Trayvon’s family was upset and hired a PR firm to get this some MSM focus. Does that not reek of bullshit to you? It does me.

It is highly possible that you never saw this, one of the very first coverages of this story:

Trayvon was on a 10 day suspension from M-DCPS which has father has just claimed was for being in an unauthorized area, but refused to give more details.

Never display a handgun to gain “leverage” in an argument. Threatening someone verbally while possessing a handgun, even licensed, will land you in jail for three years.
http://licgweb.doacs.state.fl.us/weapons/self_defense.html

And the poor bastards never even saw it coming:

NEW YORK—According to a report published Tuesday by the Center for the Study of Goddamn Fucking Shames, 96 percent of the nation’s sorry sons of bitches never even saw it coming. The study found that two-thirds of those surveyed didn’t stand a chance, 21 percent never would’ve thought for a second, and 2 percent were just sitting there minding their own business when all of a sudden, whack, right in the back of the head. “Poor bastards,” head researcher David Childress said. The report also showed that the remaining 4 percent did manage to see it coming, but before they had a chance to do a damn thing about it, it was too late.

Is It Too Late To Save America… Or Were We Doomed From The Very Beginning?

It appears too late for me and my family to go back to what I work towards for over 30 years. Its virtually all gone now. In response to a direct question about what I do for a living, after discussing with the author about his post here, I sent this reply in an email:

You asked what I do for a living. After preparing myself for and then chasing the American Dream (TM) since I was 13 (that is how long I worked), I lost my career as a high tech systems integrator in automation and robotics. I worked my way thru college, paid all my student loans, then went from one industry to the next as each was off-shored (textiles, pc boards, heavy machining, furniture, boating, automotive, etc) reinventing and reinvesting in myself (to date, I have spent over $100K in education and hold three college degrees and multiple extra training courses in a variety of curriculum related to automated manufacturing and robotics). I realized early on that Ross Perot was correct and lived the sucking sound trying my best to stay ahead of the game and find an industry that would stay.

I eventually created my own business in 2003 that catered to virtually any type of automation and human assist in production. I advised customers of how to automate certain processes, designed systems to do it, then sold the system to the customer. This lasted until 2009, where I had to file bankruptcy due to credit cards which were used to pay extreme medical expenses (our BCBS premium at the time was over $1200/month) and with several surgeries that my wife had to have for her scoliosis (which is worse now than ever before).

In 2009, a systems integrator hired me to work for them, basically selling their automation systems. Almost one year later, they assembled the three salesmen and project managers and laid us all off, while holding us to the non-compete. It took over a year in court for me to get paid the money and commissions I brought them in less than a year.

Most of the competition has closed their doors, as well, and there are none hiring me. I have a proven track record and have made myself and others a great deal of money.

The problem is being self-employed, taxes and insurance will break you. One small health issue and it is a down hill slide from that point on. Then, as 2008′s crash hit us, everything began to fall apart and from every indication, it won’t be coming back any time soon.

I realized long ago that the old two party meme was a sham and that the corporations have indeed taken over politicians.

Socialism would be a dream compared to what we are experiencing, which is Fascism 101.

Sorry this is so long, but thanks for your inquiry. Maybe this can help explain why I am so pissed off.

I have never been lazy. I have always worked my butt off, pursuing the American Dream Lie. But now, I am doing what I can to make ends meet and feed my family. I believe that Fascism has already hit America. It may very well be too late to stop it, but what if we could?

Some ( like Charlie McGrath below) will say that it is all over and that the hammer falls soon just like it is already falling in Greece (I tend to agree with this sentiment):

If you still believe that the economy is turning around and getting better, read this and check yourself.

So, is there something anything that we, as American citizens can do? Would it make any difference if we do what I suggest and NEVER VOTE FOR AN R OR D AGAIN? What if we actually vetted politicians in the way Kenny suggests by asking all the right questions:

Are you going to call for an end to the illegal wars and to bring all of our troops home now?

Gonna take any money from AIPAC? Take a trip to Israel? Got the courage to stand up to the Israeli lobby? Wanna fight another war for Israel? Got a kid of your own to sacrifice for the cause? Have an opinion on the phrase “We’re all Palestinians now?”

Iran? Syria? Please don’t give me the same old lines.

What about the Federal Reserve and Wall Street? Trillions stolen? The usury scam? Debt slavery? You’re either with us or against us .It really is the 0.001% vs all the rest.

War on Drugs? Medical marijuana and full legalization? Afghan heroin, CIA smuggling, cartel enabling, big bank drug money laundering?

GMO’s, vaccines, FDA corruption, aspartame, fluoride water, factory farms, food freedom? The crimes of Monsanto and their ilk?

War on Terror, TSA, FBI setups, Homeland Security, Patriot Act, NDAA, NSA, internet censorshp, etc. etc. etc.?

The UN, globalism, neocons, neolibs, sociopaths, psychopaths, social engineering, mind control, nefarious agendas, world banks, world government, world order?

Media lies, media whores, media crimes?

Blackmail of and bribes to politicians for control? How would you handle threats against you and yours for not going along with the big money flow?

Heck, the bill of rights? Seems like every one of them is under assault. Got a problem with rational, logical, common sense interpretations of our basic freedoms?

There’s this little litmus test that I must always bring up.  9/11.  It’s a make or break vote here Park. Step up … OK? Look into false flags if you haven’t. There’s a lot to learn.

I would say that if they fail any of the litmus test, they should receive ZERO votes. On the other hand, is there enough thinking people around to understand these pertinent questions?

Webster Tarpley also lays out a plan to help correct what has happened. You can listen to the interview for a run down at “To Cut Gas Price in Half Now, Ban Commodity Index Swaps and Synthetic Exchange-Traded Funds as Toxic Derivatives; Make CFTC Impose 100% Margin and 5% Position Limits; Collect 1% Wall Street Sales Tax“. He also points out the fraud that is Ron Paul along with the other “reactionary hyenas”.

And btw: Paulsterity comes, whether or not it is Ron Paul, Paul Ryan or any of the criminals who have you brainwashed. Stephen Lendman lays it out perfectly:

According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, 62% of Ryan’s cuts come from “programs for lower-income Americans.” Over 10 years, it slashes $5.3 trillion from non-defense areas. At the same time, he allocates an additional $200 billion for defense and imperial wars with automatic add-ons annually plus unknown tens of billions in black budgets.

Specific proposed cuts include:

(1) $2.4 trillion from Medicaid and other low or moderate household income healthcare programs. Medicaid loses $810 billion. By repealing Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion and subsidies for those most in need to buy health insurance, he gets another $1.6 trillion.

(2) $1.2 trillion from programs other than Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and other healthcare programs.

(3) $134 billion from Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) food stamp aid. If enacted, up to 10 million recipients would be entirely shut out.

(4) At least $463 billion from other programs serving America’s most needy, other than Medicaid and SNAP.

(5) At least another $291 billion in low-income discretionary programs, including Pell Grant tuition aid for needy students.

Ryan directs his cuts at vulnerable households unable to get by on what he wants reduced or eliminated. Millions will lose healthcare. Millions more won’t have enough to eat and will be dependent on what food banks provide. Education will suffer more than already. Poor students will have to forego it altogether.

He also explains that the Dems are virtually lock-step, but you wouldn’t know that from listening to the ObamaManiacs:

 

What Democrats endorse isn’t much better. Timing mostly differs to get past November elections.

For starters, Obama and Democrats agreed to the following cuts over the next decade:

 

• $4 trillion overall:

• $770 billion from education, environmental, transportation, and other infrastructure cuts, as well as lower wages and benefits for federal workers when they need more, not less;

• $480 billion from Medicare and Medicaid, besides another $1 trillion from Obamacare;

• $360 billion from mandated domestic programs, including food stamps, home heating assistance, income for the poor and disabled, federal pension insurance, and farm subsidies; and

• $400 billion from military-related spending from unneeded weapons, as well as healthcare and other benefits for active service members and veterans.

Is the answer bailing out of here? Some have told me to leave this country before its too late. Don Lucas wrote me and told me his story:

Mr. Buelahman,

I enjoy reading your site. My bio in a nutshell. Christian 45 years, lived in Christian commune in early 70′s 3 years, 9 years military, 18 prison guard, now semi-retired ( I work at painting and repairs when I can). In the 90′s I was a far right Christian patriot. I wrote tracts about the Founding Fathers and Constitutional liberties. During Bushes second term (in my ignorance and single issue ‘pro-life’, I voted for the lessor of two evils thinking erroneously that I was doing Gods will.

I have had a life long love of history, politics, and religion etc. I firmly believe that to vote for a candidate who by his words and/or actions will start and/or continue the US Wars of Aggression against poor people in order to steal their resources is morally wrong and refuse to participate.

Enough of the bio. IMO, the US can’t be fixed. There is not enough will or enough patriots to overthrow the government etc. We will follow the example of all know empires and fall, except because of our shrinking world ie communications, our monster size military and all of it controlled by the bankers and corporate Amerika the fall will be more rapid.

OK to the point. I encourage you and those you love to leave the US. I have lived in Colombia SA for a year. My wife is Colombian, which is of course a big help. My Spanish is coming along well. We plan to return to the US during 2012 and then return to Ecuador and Peru looking for a country in which to put down roots. I encourage you to do the same. My friend you can’t believe how free you feel living in South or Central America. You can do it on the cheap. You can live well on $1200 a month. Medical care is first rate and the climate, depending on your location is fantastic, the people are friendly and if you chose a country like Belize (English speaking, a big plus), Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, etc you will find many expats to converse with.

Just a little something for you to think about. As for me, I’ve made my choice and do not miss living in a police state one bit.

If you would like further info on leaving or have any questions, feel free to email.

God bless you

I explained all the issues that make leaving America impossible for me and my family. But don’t think for a second that the thought hasn’t crossed my mind numerous times.

But the sad fact is that even if you wanted leave, they are making it as difficult as possible for you to do so.

I feel as if I must ride it out and tell others about what I know and understand. Its all probably just a waste of time (I know several folks who have given up on educating others), but I have two main reasons for doing so: I don’t want my fellow Americans to starve and come to a horrible end AND I have a child that I want to know that I did what I could to stop it. For some day, she will ask me what I did to try and correct what has occurred. I will be able to show her and explain to her the effort I put into this blog and to local folks.

I asked in the Header, “Were We Doomed From The Very Beginning”? If you want a really wild explanation for why I am beginning to think so, read this excellent post, entitled, “The Constitution Con“. Many of the points I already knew, but it brings a new understanding to the Founding Fathers and their motivations.

I also recently listened to this interview that Charlie McGrath did with Stephan Molyneux and it is enlightening, especially in its discussion of minarchism and anarchism. They also hit on the subject linked above.

‘annoy,’ ‘offend,’ ‘harass’ or ‘terrify’: Is That What I Do Here?

Arizona legislature has concocted a new law waiting to be signed by the governor of that state.  Jonathon Turley writes about it here.

In one of the most sweeping attacks on free speech in America, the Arizona legislature has passed a draconian bill that would criminalize speech on the Internet (“any electronic or digital device”) that prosecutors consider “obscene, lewd or profane language or . . . suggest[ing] a lewd or lascivious act if done with intent to ‘annoy,’ ‘offend,’ ‘harass’ or ‘terrify.’” The law is largely undefined and is in my view facially unconstitutional. The law would drive a stake in the heart of free speech. Yet, people like Bill Clinton have been calling for such a crackdown on Internet speech for years.

Of course, on its face anyone knows that such a law is unconstitutional and ready for abuse. But I am not surprised that it begins in Arizona nor will it surprise me that it will spread like wildfire across the USA. The MSM is losing its readership/viewers to the internet and they won’t die willingly or without a fight. Nor will the politicians that take advantage of the presstitute media be willing to fight against such a stupid, unconstitutional law. Nor will the country’s savior law expert POTUS, especially when he says stupid crap like this:

The question I ask myself is, “Is that what I do here“? Is that last paragraph an example of what could be deemed offensive or annoying?

I am sure some people get offended and annoyed by my rants, just like someone asleep might be initially annoyed or offended that I wake them up from their slumber to tell them their house is on fire and they will die if they don’t wake up. Sometimes, it seems evident, that one MUST annoy and offend to get someone’s attention. If you haven’t figured it out yet, that is precisely what the BuelahMan persona is all about. People that know me (like Dr Doug and a few others) know that in my real life, I seldom resemble BuelahMan or interact the way he does. BuelahMan is me on steroids, so to speak.

If warning people I care about, or even my fellow Americans whom I do not know personally, about the pending doom we are facing (many of us are already right smack-dab in the middle of it as I write this) is terrifying, that is not my intent. Is it harassment to continually point out the thievery, lies and shenanigans that out government conducts? Is it a bad thing that I prod people in a horrible financial situation (like what my family and I are currently experiencing) to grow their own food? Speaking of which, I am right in the middle of preparing my second garden spot for okra, tomatoes, squash. Also note the two old swing sets that I will have hanging plants on. A third spot is an old flower garden I am tearing down/cleaning up to plant miscellaneous (onions, etc).

I basically practice what I preach.

I am also scouting for deer and turkey to be prepared for next season’s hunting (I plan on building a couple of tree stands/hunting boxes at the prime locations), so I can put meat in the freezer. I am also preparing my fishing tackle for catching food, as well, and will be fishing very soon (hopefully this weekend).

The only people that I ‘annoy’, ‘offend’, ‘harass’ or ‘terrify’ are the ones who are ripping me and my fellow countrymen off. The ones who are intent on destroying the Constitution I swore to uphold (apparently I meant it and they did not). Its the same with every blogger, video producer, or ranter (like me) that holds these criminals to account. We scare the hell out of them and they must pull a stunt like this to stop the truth from being told. Expect it. Its their last recourse.

Now, as you can see in my new garden spot, I have raking to do to get the rest of the sod out, pots to hang up on swing sets and a small garden to finish so I can plant onions, carrots, etc. What I haven’t done yet is hang my gutters along the fence top posts for my herb gardens (I’ll put up around 50 – 75 feet of gutter for this purpose).

If you have the wherewithal, the strength and place, you should do so, as well. You will need it this year more than any other. And don’t be fooled by that article, its not just the Middle Eastern problems or fuel prices. Inflation is hitting us squarely due to the unimaginable amount of bailouts, money printing and thievery going on right in front of us. Things will only get worse.

B’Man’s Guest Post: DC Dave’s “Who Killed James Forrestal?”

“However history may ultimately judge his opposition to the establishment of Israel, by 1949 it was clear that Forrestal was, in a sense, one of the casualties of the diplomatic warfare that had led to the creation of the Jewish state.“ 

Arnold Rogow, ‘James Forrestal, A Study of Personality, Politics, and Power‘ (1963) p. 195                       

New Forrestal Document Exposes Cover-up

 

Who Killed James Forrestal?, Part 1,  Short Version,  Part 2,  Part 3,  Part 4, Part 5, Part 6,

Letters to Historians, James Carroll on James Forrestal, Lies about Kennedy and Forrestal Deaths, Spook Shrink Flubs Script,

Post Reporter Continues Forrestal Cover-up, Handwriting Tells Dark Tale?

 

                              
James V. Forrestal was America’s first Secretary of Defense.  He was also the leading official in the Truman administration opposing the creation and U.S. recognition of the state of Israel.  President Truman relieved Forrestal of his position in late March of 1949.  Within a few days he was committed, apparently against his will, to Bethesda Naval Hospital suffering from “exhaustion.”  In spite of the invaluable service he had rendered to the country during World War II, first as Under Secretary of the Navy and then Secretary of the Navy, he had in 1948 and early 1949 been the subject of an unprecedented press vilification campaign, led by powerful columnists Drew Pearson and Walter Winchell.

At around 1:45 am, May 22, some seven weeks after his admission to the hospital, Forrestal plunged from a 16th floor window of the hospital to his death.  A belt or cord, said to be from his dressing gown, was tied tightly around his neck.

On May 23, a review board was appointed by Admiral Morton D. Willcutts, the head of the National Naval Medical Center to investigate the death.  The board completed its work on May 31, but not until October 11 did it publish a brief, summary report of only a few lines.  No explanation of the delay was given.  The summary concluded that Forrestal had died from the fall, but it had nothing to say about what caused the fall, except to conclude that no one associated with the Navy was responsible.  In short, it did not conclude that he had committed suicide, as initial reports stated and the public is still given to believe.  No mention was made in the summary, or in those later October press reports, of the belt around Forrestal’s neck.

The Willcutts Report, itself, was kept secret, and, curiously, no hue and cry was raised over that fact.  After two unsuccessful Freedom of Information Act tries with the National Naval Medical Center, I was finally able to get the report of the review board from the office of the Navy’s Judge Advocate General, and my analysis is at http://www.dcdave.com/article4/040922.html .

At the time of the death, all the press made much of a book containing a morbid poem from Sophocles, “Chorus from Ajax,” that Forrestal had supposedly been copying from shortly before his plunge from the window.  The press reports all say that the book and a transcription “were found,” but they never say by whom.  Neither does the Willcutts Report.  No witness is produced who claims to have discovered the book or the transcription.  Rather, the first person to get a good look at Forrestal’s vacated hospital room found broken glass on his bed, a likely sign of some sort of struggle.  She also described bedclothes half turned back, but the official “crime scene” photographs taken many hours later, show a bed with a bare mattress, an obvious sign of a cover-up.  One can also see that articles were moved around from one picture to the next:  http://www.dcdave.com/article4/040916.htm.  Needless to say, no news report has ever mentioned the broken glass or the laundering of the room before photographs were taken.

Pro-Israel writers like Arnold Rogow, Winchell biographer, Neal Gabler, Jack Anderson, Charles Higham, John Loftus, and Mark Aarons have continued the character assassination against Forrestal, falsely characterizing him as an an anti-Semitic nut who had made several previous suicide attempts.  This claim of several previous suicide attempts, echoed at this Arlington Cemetery web site: http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/jvforres.htm , is virtually proved to be false by the testimony of Forrestal’s Bethesda Hospital doctors in the Willcutts Report.  They agree that, from all indications, he had never before attempted suicide.

The indications are very strong that Forrestal kept his no-suicide-attempt record intact on May 22, 1949, and became another casualty of the creation of the state of Israel in the same sense that Lord Moyne, Count Bernadotte, Yitzhak Rabin, Rachel Corrie, 34 crewmen on the USS Liberty, and Palestinian leaders on a regular basis have been casualties.

The Willcutts Report is available in pdf form on the web site of the Seeley Mudd Manuscript Library at Princeton University.  Copies should also be available for perusal at the Harry S. Truman Library in Independence, Missouri, and the Library of Congress.  I have given the appropriate officials at these libraries compact discs of the report.

Addendum

Two months after posting this article, I revealed in Part 3 of “Who Killed James Forrestal?” the strongest evidence yet that Forrestal was murdered.  I obtained Forrestal handwriting samples that clearly differ radically from the handwriting of the copied Sophocles poem.   Another important research milestone was reached in early February of 2010 when the proprietor of the ARIWatch.com web site, who uses the nom de plume of “Mark Hunter,” put up a searchable htm version of the Willcutts Report, complete with his own analysis.

B’Man’s Hypocrite Watch: Their Rules And Your Rules Are NOT The Same

My wife has been getting slightly political on Facebook (yeah, what’s got in to her lately… is B’Man rubbing off on her only after 25 years???). She has commented on a friend’s page when the woman went on a rant about how “all her tax dollars” are going to the lazy bastards that won’t work. What was really funny is that since that post, this very same woman got a job that is paid by Tennessee Tax Dollars. So, the hypocrite is now receiving a check from my money and as far as I am concerned, what is drain by the most needy, is certainly a drain by this sponge.

I have long said that if they start this idiotic (and expensive) practice, then by God, they better hold themselves to the same standard.

Well, apparently, Oklahoma Representatives have voted that they should also be made to take piss tests, just like those who are seeking assistance from the government in this Depression. I find it hard to believe that the state senate will vote lockstep, but the house vote was won by a very large margin (82-6). On a side note of importance to me, is the fact that this bill was sponsored by a Republican named Guy Liebman of Oklahoma City, who tried to fight the amendment that brought on the counter action. You see, he doesn’t believe that he should be held to the same standard that poor folk are held to. This is telling and deserves my award called “The Richard Noggin’”. Also note that Richard, er, Guy, is up for re-election this year and it is time to put this old horse’s ass out to pasture.

The hypocrisy is stifling, especially when you consider all of those people that now run things have done the very same things and now hold most of the power in this country. People like Clinton, Bush and Obama (and MANY others). Cenk calls them out and describes this hypocrisy very well:

You see, Mr and Mrs Redneck, there are different rules for different social classes. I know how much you want to be in their class, but the truth is that you NEVER will be. Get that thru your thick skulls. There is no upward movement from poor redneck to wealthy power monger. People might believe that they once could (some people claim this was part of “The American Dream”, but that dream is now dead). If you are not born into Big Money, you NEVER will achieve it. Understand that it is them against us and vote accordingly. Live your life accordingly. Call them out on it and insist something different.

As a matter of fact, you “employees” that do live from the Government dole via the tax payer’s money and you have invested your “hard-earned” (ever see a road crew work, where there are 15 people standing around and one, with the least seniority, is actually USING the shovel) money into a pension where you might be secure in your retirement, well, think again. Poof. Its going, going, gone. So, what is next for you? You need assistance because the richest bastards have taken what is yours. But I wouldn’t be too secure in depending on that, since they are coming for your Social Security, as well.

Maybe you need to rethink the lies you believe from the rich bastards on TV and understand that they are dismantling your very future.

I want to thank This Day – One Day for sharing this. Check out his blog, even tho he is a limey. LOL Good stuff.

A little stirring of the hornets nest.

Been doing some reading. Visited Petes blog at Drug WarRant.  A guy that goes by malcolmkyle left a comment about stirring the hornet’s nest. It’s over at NewsBusters about Arianna Huffington: Drug War a ‘War on Our Own People’

Heres a snippet of the comments going on there:

Some simple facts:

Submitted by malcolmkyle on Wed, 02/15/2012 – 8:04am.

* Colombia, Peru, Mexico or Afghanistan with their coca leaves, marijuana buds or poppy sap are not igniting temptation in the minds of our weak, innocent citizens. These countries are duly responding to the enormous demand that comes from within our own borders. Invading or destroying these countries, thus creating more hate, violence, instability, injustice and corruption, will not fix our problem.

* A rather large majority of people will always feel the need to use drugs such as heroin, opium, nicotine, amphetamines, alcohol, sugar, or caffeine.

* The massive majority of adults who use drugs do so recreationally – getting high at the weekend then up for work on a Monday morning.

* Apart from the huge percentage of people addicted to both sugar and caffeine, a small minority of adults (nearly 5%) will always experience the use of drugs as problematic. – approx. 3% are dependent on alcohol and approx. 1.5% are dependent on other drugs such as methamphetamine, cocaine, heroine etc.

* Just as it was impossible to prevent alcohol from being produced and used in the U.S. in the 1920s, so too, it is equally impossible to prevent any of the aforementioned drugs from being produced, distributed and widely used by those who desire to do so.

* Prohibition kills more people and ruins more lives than the drugs it prohibits.

* Prescription drugs kill over 200,000 Americans every year– even when taken as directed and not abused.

* Due to Prohibition (historically proven to be an utter failure at every level), the availability of most of these mood-altering drugs has become so universal and unfettered that in any city of the civilized world, any one of us would be able to procure practically any drug we wish within an hour.

* Throughout history, the prohibition of any mind-altering substance has always exploded usage rates, overcrowded jails, fueled organized crime, created rampant corruption of law-enforcement – even whole governments, while inducing an incalculable amount of suffering and death.

* Apart from the fact that the DEA is the de facto enforcement wing of the pharmaceutical industry, the involvement of the CIA in running Heroin from Vietnam, Southeast Asia and Afghanistan and Cocaine from Central America has been well documented by the 1989 Kerry Committee report, academic researchers Alfred McCoy and Peter Dale Scott, and the late journalist Gary Webb.

* It’s not even possible to keep drugs out of prisons, but prohibitionists wish to waste trillions of dollars in an utterly futile attempt to keep them off our streets.

* The United States jails a larger percentage of its own citizens than any other country in the world, including those run by the worst totalitarian regimes, yet it has far higher use/addiction rates than most other countries.

* Prohibition is the “Goose that laid the golden egg” and the lifeblood of terrorists as well as drug cartels. Both the Taliban and the terrorists of al Qaeda derive their main income from the prohibition-inflated value of the opium poppy. An estimated 44 % of the heroin produced in Afghanistan, with an estimated annual destination value of US $ 27 Billion, transits through Pakistan. Prohibition has essentially destroyed Pakistan’s legal economy and social fabric. – We may be about to witness the planet’s first civil war in a nation with nuclear capabilities. – Kindly Google: ‘A GLOBAL OVERVIEW OF NARCOTICS-FUNDED TERRORIST GROUPS’ Only those opposed, or willing to ignore these facts, want things the way they are.

* The future depends on whether or not enough of us are willing to take a long look at the tragic results of prohibition. If we continue to skirt the primary issue while refusing to address the root problem then we can expect no other result than a worsening of the current dire situation. – Good intentions, wishful thinking and pseudoscience are no match for the immutable realities of human nature.

Never have so many been endangered and impoverished by so few so quickly!

* The urge to save humanity is almost always a false-face for the urge to rule it. – H. L. Mencken (1880-1956) American editor, essayist and philologist.

On the contrary, Arianna, Whitney seems to have lived exactly the life of  legalized drugs.

Exactly.  Essentially, drugs

Exactly.  Essentially, drugs are as if they were legal in the entertainment  industry and the music business.  If you want to see what would happen to the  general population under drug legalization, just look at those two  industries.

Last  time I checked these industries were both very successful!

You Prohibitionists dance hand in hand with every possible type of criminal  one can imagine.

An unholy alliance of ignorance, greed and hate which works to destroy all  our hard fought freedoms, wealth and security.

We will always have adults who are too immature to responsibly deal with  tobacco alcohol, heroin amphetamines, cocaine, various prescription drugs and  even food. Our answer to them should always be: “Get a Nanny, and stop turning  the government into one for the rest of us!”

Nobody wants to see an end to prohibition because they want to use drugs.  They wish to see proper legalized regulation because they are witnessing, on a  daily basis, the dangers and futility of prohibition. ‘Legalized Regulation’  won’t be the complete answer to all our drug problems, but it’ll greatly  ameliorate the crime and violence on our streets, and only then can we provide  effective education and treatment.

The whole nonsense of ‘a disaster will happen if we end prohibition’  sentiment sums up the delusional ‘chicken little’ stance of those who foolishly  insist on continuing down this blind alley. As if a disaster isn’t already  happening. As if prohibition has ever worked.

To support prohibition is such a strange mind-set. In fact, It’s outrageous  insanity!  –Literally not one prohibitionist argument survives scrutiny. Not  one!

The only people that believe prohibition is working are the ones making a  living by enforcing laws in it’s name, and those amassing huge fortunes on the  black market profits. This situation is wholly unsustainable, and as history has  shown us, conditions will continue to deteriorate until we finally, just like  our forefathers, see sense and revert back to tried and tested methods of  regulation. None of these substances, legal or illegal, are ever going to go  away, but we CAN decide to implement policies that do far more good than  harm.

During alcohol prohibition in the 1920s, all profits went to enrich thugs and  criminals. Young men died every day on inner-city streets while battling over  turf. A fortune was wasted on enforcement that could have gone on treatment. On  top of the budget-busting prosecution and incarceration costs, billions in taxes  were lost. Finally the economy collapsed. Sound familiar?

So should the safety and freedom of the rest of us be compromised because of  the few who cannot control themselves?

Many of us no longer think it should!

If a vast majority of the public were aware of these facts, the drug war( and much more) would be over in a hurry. Thats the reason it’s not. TPTB depend on ignorance and poor information to continue their little Empire games.

Time to put an end to it all. Get the information out there, inform your self, inform those around you.

Going To California… or Colorado… or Michigan… or Missouri… or Montana… or Nebraska… or Oregon… or Washington

It should be Mississippi and then we could have the Amsterdam of the US in my home state, which would make it the Number 1 Vacation Spot in the USA. However, I admit that Oregon is one of my favorite places in the US to visit. So, let’s see which state implements this first and then I’ll decide. I doubt it will be Michigan…

The drug war continues…er excellerates.

Been doing a lot of poking around the drug war blogs. What I’m seeing isn’t good. Its happening just as I told folks it would back when the med pot question ramped up.I kept tell folks.”Ya, start you dispensaries. Put your names on lists as med patients. Down the road when things are ripe, the Feds WILL come down on everyone getting involved. They will have your names and numbers.” well…here we are….they are cracking down. But they don’t care about people like Korn Likker or my family members and friends. The facts are out there that show our government has lied and continues to lie about cannabis. It doesn’t matter. McCarthyism and Jim Crow are standing tall these days.

Theres a good discussion over at alternet:

http://www.alternet.org/story/154070/why_is_the_obama_administration_suddenly_fixated_on_stomping_out_medical_pot/comments/

Either this powderkeg we call a melting pot is going to explode or I’m going to lose all faith in humanity.

Oh ..by the way… we may be headed into a ‘war’ in..you guessed it..Syria.

This could of course lead to a war in Iran.

What a wonderful world we live in.

I Recommend Rick Santorum’s Fancy Fist Of Joy For Jane Harman’s Patriot Act Woes

“I’m crazy and I’m right…”

On another note of apparent insanity:

Poor Jane Harman is bothered that her government would illegally wiretap her office as she kowtows for AIPAC and seemingly commits treason (as IF anyone would actually do SOMETHING about that). Her pearls are clutched so tightly, it might choke her.

Poor thang didn’t know they were breaking the law. So, why not recall the law? Why not explain that the law is bogus and works AGAINST Americans (including the treasonous Congressmen). I suspect that when she said this about the NSA’s warrant-less wiretapping when its existence was leaked…

“I believe the program is essential to U.S. national security and that its disclosure has damaged critical intelligence capabilities.”

…she didn’t understand that such a law would also be used to monitor her illegal activities. For just like all citizens in today’s Fascist America, we are all guilty until proven innocent.

He has been a liar and murderer from the beginning.

Might as well laugh about it:

Sanity In Government?

It appears that we have a politician that made a promise and (EGAD) kept it. Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes beat out the incumbent by promising to stop marijuana arrests/prosecutions.
