It’s High Time to Condemn the Covidian Cancel Cult

Remember when Noam Chomsky told the nation that the unvaccinated should be “isolated” from society? Or that time Bette Middler called for the “killing” of unvaccinated children? Or when David Cross wished that the unvaccinated would die?

Howard Stern complained, “When are we going to stop putting up with the idiots in this country and just say it’s mandatory to get vaccinated? Fuck ‘em. Fuck their freedom.” Arnold Schwartzenegger likewise told Americans, “Screw your freedom!” This sentiment was echoed by Keith Olberman who declared that it’s “time to stop coddling the morons who won’t get vaccinated!”

The Guardian told its readers that “it is only a matter of time before we turn on the unvacinated.” The Washington Post told Americans that we “can’t afford” to be “patient with the unvaccinated” anymore. And the Toronto Star attempted to mobilize their readers with the declaration that it was, “Time to call out nasty, hate-filled anti-vaxxers.”

Don Lemon told CNN viewers that those who refuse the vaccine should be shamed or “left behind” and Jimmy Carr referred to anyone skeptical of pharmaceutical companies as “really quite fucking dense.” Meanwhile Jimmy Kimmel told his audience that unvaccinated people should be denied life-saving health care with the dismissal, “Rest in peace wheezy.”

Those who unfortunately embraced the bullshit vomited from the mouths of these corporate snakes and Limousine Liberals immediately became a tangible threat to their neighbors. Hypnotized armies of automatons who enforce irrational authoritarianism against their neighbors quite reliably prove themselves to be a danger to anyone with a brain. The authoritarianism seemed scientifically driven at first glance, but behaved more like a dogmatic, faith-based, belief system that led many fearful citizens down the path of sanctimonious zealotry. In short, their allegiance to Pharma mirrors the behavior of a cult.

Those of us who understood our rights under the Law tried to tell the Covidians that we reserve the freedom to choose, and beyond telling them to leave us alone we never told them what to do. Conversely, we were scolded and corrected and attacked if we questioned the unlawful edicts and unconstitutional orders. The Cult portrayed anyone with the ability to think and the courage to question authority as a domestic terrorist threat.

In January of 2021, the Biden Administration issued an Orwellian “terrorism” alert labeling anyone opposed to the status quo as a potential terrorist threat. The Washington Post declared that “anti-vaccine extremism is akin to domestic terrorism” in a piece written by California Senator Dr. Richard Pan.

Robert Grenier, former director of the CIA’s Counterterrorism program, compared Americans to Al Qaeda and the Taliban. At the top of 2021, DHS issued a terror alert targeting those critical of lockdown policies, referring to them as Domestic Violent Extremists, or DVEs (not to be confused with the extremism associated with Domestic partner Violence).

General Stanley McChrystal, former head of the Joint Special Operations Command and commander of the Afghanistan theater, explicitly compared the war on terror abroad to the new war on the American people. Another intelligence official appeared on PBS News Hour to urge we “consider applying some of the lessons from the fight against Al Qaeda here at home”. Right on cue, the city of Baltimore, Maryland unleashed aerial military capabilities developed during the Afghanistan War with a domestic mass surveillance operation called “Gorgon Stare”.

Meanwhile new domestic terrorism laws were introduced by the White House. Our judiciary attempted to normalize the indefinite detention of Americans without trial. Following publication of the DHS trade and travel report that “reads like an instruction manual on how to exploit the public’s fear of COVID,” the federal government began installing facial recognition scanners in dozens of airports. A White House task force met with health technology companies to create a national coronavirus surveillance system to provide Big Brother with a real-time view of where people seek treatment and for what.

Under these new emergency suspensions of the law, the American police state waged the most organized and sophisticated state terrorism campaign in history.

Alicia Kitts was tasered and arrested at her son’s eighth-grade football game for failure to mask in Logan, Ohio. A man in Texas was threatened at taser point by an officer for not wearing a mask at a gas station. Colorado imposed year-long jail sentences for failure to wear a mask. Floridians were ordered to wear masks inside their own homes. Students in Florida were “re-educated” for failing to mask up. Oregon required vaccination for anyone wishing to remove their mask. Houston residents faced a $250 fine for failure to mask. Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser threatened DC residents with 90 days in jail and a $5,000 fine for leaving home, issuing an executive order that required masks outdoors under penalty of a $1,000 fine.

United Airlines kicked a 2-year-old girl off an airplane for refusing to wear a mask. The CDC threatened the arrest of travelers who failed to wear two masks. Bureaucrat Susan Michie believed that mask mandates and social distancing should continue “forever”, comparing the compulsory actions to “wearing a seat belt” and “picking up dog poo in the park”.

We were told to follow the science, and then actively shamed for embracing the truths revealed through practicing the scientific method. Masks and social isolation and unnecessary medical procedures have all done far greater harm than the Cultists will ever admit. Phrases like “trust the science” are inherently anti-scientific because skepticism is inherent to the scientific method. Nobody ever trusts the results unequivocally. Now that the law is finally catching up to the hysteria, it’s easier to see that the masquerade served as a clever smoke screen to camouflage the bloodthirsty authoritarianism of the Cult.

Science is never settled unless you’ve thrown away the scientific method and begun playing politics with the data like Big Tobacco and Monsanto have done for decades. Beyond looking foolish, wearing masks in public places did little but display compliance and obedience to the modern dictatorship. The medical tyranny that accompanied masking was decidedly anti-American and itself corrosive to the expression of liberty this country is supposed to embody.

In March 2020 Governor Gavin Newsom locked down the entire state of California, Governor Andrew Cuomo locked down the entire state of New York and Governor J.B. Pritzker locked down the entire state of Illinois. Washington Governor Jay Inslee declared that anyone refusing to cooperate with contact tracers and compulsory testing would not be allowed to leave their homes for any reason. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine ordered the creation of covid camps.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer defied the Law and her own legislature by enacting emergency power laws to justify the passage of executive orders that extended unconstitutional lockdowns. The Michigan government in-turn threatened businesses with six month jail sentences for failure to surveil their customers, and Michigan authorities were instructed to arrest anyone they suspected of being sick with the illness. In April 2020 an FBI strike team raided a hospital in Michigan after it had successfully treated several patients with vitamin C.

Michigan’s Albion College told its students to remain within five miles of the campus under threat of suspension and required them to download a smartphone app programmed to track their movements. Massachusetts residents were shocked and appalled to discover track-and-trace apps had been force-installed onto their devices without consent or notification (following a government partnership with Google and Apple).

Governor Cuomo banned dancing in the Empire State while California banned singing in church. A Bar in New Hampshire was fined $1,000 on the basis that the guitarists “performed too close together” during a musical performance.

Kentucky residents were threatened with ankle monitors for “failure to isolate.” Ford Motor Company tagged their workforce with social-distancing wristbands that vibrate when employees get within six feet of one another. A couple from Connecticut was fined $3,000 for leaving the state. A Key West couple was jailed for violating state quarantine. In the Cayman Islands, Skylar Mack and Vanjae Ramgeet were both sentenced to four months in jail because Skylar removed her “geo-fencing bracelet” and broke quarantine for seven hours to watch a jet-ski race.

Police in Daytona Beach, Florida used drones to “take people’s temperatures” and “monitor the homeless”. Residents of Elizabeth, New Jersey were scolded by drones with recorded messages from the mayor commanding people to, “disperse and go home” under threat of “summonses” and $1,000 fines.

Georgia officials went door-to-door collecting blood from randomly selected citizens, Emirates Airlines conducted mandatory blood tests on passengers in addition to requiring them to wear masks, and Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner “strongly encouraged” his Texas residents to submit to “randomly selected” blood draws. The White House announced a nationwide campaign of “targeted community door-to-door outreach to get remaining Americans vaccinated”.

The New York City police cracked down on congregating with armed social distancing busts. New York City announced mask patrols would issue fines to people refusing to cover their faces outside. NYPD dispatched 1,000 officers and a swarm of law enforcement drones explicitly to enforce social-distancing rules. New Yorker Donni Wright was violently tackled and arrested in Manhattan’s East Village for not wearing a mask (by a plain-clothes officer who also lacked a face covering). Some New York workers were issued “travel papers” to avoid arrest while commuting to their jobs. In January 2021 the State of New York proposed the formation of covid detention camps for anyone identified as a “case, contact or carrier” of a contagious disease. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio deployed “covid checkpoints” to fine people up to $2,000 for traveling during Thanksgiving.

Los Angeles authorities threatened to cut the water and electricity from the homes of those refusing to comply with the lockdown. Los Angeles County cracked down on illegal New Year’s Eve parties with a “Superspreader Task Force” comprised of “hundreds of detectives, patrol deputies, and Specialized Response Teams” that detained and arrested hundreds of citizens. Los Angeles elementary schools required “entrance tickets” from students who were required to daily apply for a new QR code that had to be scanned to gain admittance to educational facilities.

Ventura County, California enacted a snatch-and-grab arrest program after hiring 50 “covid spies” empowered with the authority to forcibly and arbitrarily detain citizens. California Governor Newsom also imposed “multi-agency strike teams” to enforce business shutdowns. Following anti-quarantine protests at California’s State Capitol, the Golden State outlawed all gatherings on state properties. And Americans visiting California’s beaches were harassed by police officers on horseback who attempted to enforce arbitrary social rules.

Californians were encouraged to report on their neighbors for coughing and sneezing indoors. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti proclaimed that “snitches get rewards” if they tattle on their neighbors. Brits were likewise encouraged to snitch on each other for visiting relatives over Christmas. Police in Bellevue, Washington encouraged neighbors to report on their neighbors with the MyBellevue app. And Bill de Blasio publicly urged New Yorkers to snitch on each other for failure to social distance.

As early as May of 2020, cities in Louisiana, Texas and Missouri told “nonessential” bars and restaurants eager to reopen their doors that they could do business again under the condition that they agree to snitch on and collect the personal information of all their customers as part of Homeland Security’s “contact tracing” initiative.

But compulsory snitching didn’t always go the way bureaucrats intended. Overwhelmed dispatchers in Toledo, Ohio were so flooded with calls from people snitching on each other about “not social distancing” that police took to twitter to encourage tattling citizens to call the health department instead.

Canadians who “recklessly” defied quarantine faced million-dollar fines and three-year prison terms. They also faced death by execution: Canadian police shot and killed an elderly man after he refused to wear a mask in a grocery store. Canada also took children away from disobedient subjects: an Ontario court discontinued the custody of a father’s children, claiming that his “beliefs” about the pandemic were a danger to his children because the love for his kids would always be “subordinate” to his “worldview”. And to top it all off, Canadian police even cited vagrants: Hamilton police in Ontario issued $750 tickets to homeless people for failure to observe social distancing rules.

In May of 2021 Canada began requiring so-called vaccine passports for entry into the county. Canadian health expert Dr. Joffe published his admission in January of 2021 that the “cost of lockdowns are at least 10 times higher than the benefits,” citing global food insecurity, severe poverty, interrupted healthcare, domestic violence, mental illness and more. Canadians who protested their subjugation had their bank accounts deactivated and assets frozen, as did anyone who contributed to the protest or helped finance it.

Those of us who could think and read did our best to appeal to the reason of the Cultists and learned very quickly that the Cult is not interested in evidence or debate or logic or reason or common sense. The Cultists are only interested in pushing authoritarianism. It doesn’t matter how economically crippling lockdowns proved to be for poor and working families. It doesn’t matter how many people perish from the lethal decision to allow the death jab willingly into their veins. Adherence to the Cult demands that believers simply repeat the corporate lies they hear from the captured communication apparatus.

In March of 2021, former Baltimore health commissioner Dr. Leana Wen appeared on CNN to further coerce Americans into overcoming their so-called “vaccine hesitancy” by dangling their innate freedoms before them like a carrot on a stick.

San Francisco gave the “no jab, no job” ultimatum to it’s 37,000 city employees in June 2021. Another 153 hospital workers were fired or quit over a vax requirement in Houston, Texas. And Rhodes College of Memphis, Tennessee announced that they would charge unvaccinated students $1,500 each semester.

Pfizer and Pharma have a long and detailed history of scandal, lawsuit and legalized murder, but none of that matters to the Cultists. None of them will ever acknowledge the inconvenient fact that viruses are not the cause of disease, a fact so obfuscated by so many layers of bullshit that we actually believe Jon Stewart is somehow allowed to tell us the truth about the Wuhan Lab Leak Theory when the rest of his late-term career is characterized by pinning a medal on a literal Nazi at Disney World (since the Nazi was Ukrainian his status as a literal Nazi is ignored by the Cultists because the Cult supports all the “good” wars).

The authorities continuously propose ever more ridiculous protocols for their subjects in spite of their knowledge of how dangerous they are. The bigwigs in big pharma know it too. The St. Anthony nursing home in Auburn, New York experienced zero deaths during the panic until they began vaccinating residents, whereby 24 died within two weeks of getting jabbed. In December Reuters had to admit that the majority of people getting sick are vaccinated. Another study out of California confirms that boosted folks are more likely to get sick than the unvaccinated.

How many young and healthy people have died suddenly and inexplicably in recent months from these “unavoidably unsafe” products? How many unnecessary heart attacks and blood clots and strokes have “mysteriously” occurred since this began? And how many cases of leprosy? How many more lame excuses can we entertain for the sudden and dramatic increase of fatal blood clots and heart attacks in recent years? And how many millions more will die?

Nevertheless, we were told over and over again that this was a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” Exactly how the unvaccinated can be construed as a threat to the vaccinated if vaccines indeed protect their host remains one of the unsolvable mysteries of the universe. The vax didn’t stop transmission. On the contrary it proved lethal for many and continues to kill many more who were foolish enough to take it and keep taking it. Unfortunately, arrogance prevailed among those who refused to acknowledge they could be and have been manipulated.

The global lockdowns were exploited by governments all over the world to arrest, harass and even execute reporters, journalists and political dissidents. The Cultists who made it all possible bowed before their almighty Pfizer, the primary financier of many Cult media programs. We were told that the unvaccinated were a threat, but the phenomenon of mRNA shedding proves that it’s the vaccinated who pose the threat – the complete opposite of the frantic claims of corporate media.

More than 100 groups, including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and the Electronic Privacy Information, warned in April 2020 that the coronavirus response “must not be used as a cover to usher in a new era of greatly expanded systems of invasive surveillance.” The writing was on the wall for anyone willing to see it. Employers of virtual work forces implemented remote monitoring software to document employee productivity. And the Rockefeller Foundation floated the idea of subjecting American citizens to strict military rule led by a “Supreme Council” under the jurisdiction of the Defense Production Act.

A few bureaucrats in England eventually admitted to “unethical” and “totalitarian” behavior to control the masses throughout 2020, with one scientist adding that “The way we have used fear is dystopian.” In March 2020 the UN privacy chief publicly reminded the world that “dictatorships and authoritarian societies often start in the face of a threat.” The advent of “freedom bracelets” solidified the notion that our societies have succumbed to an institutional form of “Stockholm Syndrome”.

The terrifying predictions of possible deaths resulting from covid made by Neil Ferguson at England’s Imperial College were “grossly overstated” and smacked of Monsanto-style corruption of science and falsification of data. Among the first to sound of the alarm was Kurt Nimmo who, in April of 2020, identified the crisis as a pretext for world government and totalitarianism to “frighten the public and manipulate ill-informed citizens into embracing economic and social decapitation”.

Those of us who aimed to expose the obviousness of the covid lie and the authoritarian aims of its creators were mocked and attacked and bullied. We were called grandma killers and conspiracy theorists. We lost our jobs. We were trespassed from stores and restaurants. We were censored by and canceled from Facebook. Our human rights were violated.

So-called “liberals” from coast to coast completely forgot that they had ever chanted the words, “my body my choice”. Instead, an angry mob of bossy boot lickers took to the streets to shame their neighbors in an organized campaign of mass behavior modification.

Did anyone ever apologize for the fruitless shaming tactics or ignorant accusations, beyond the likes of Scott Adams, Tim Robbins and Megyn Kelly? Despite a few outliers, not only did loyal Cultists fail to apologize for their mistakes, they actually doubled down on the lie. For anyone who saw the light, realized they’d been fooled, and apologized for their sheep-like behavior, congratulations on having some integrity.

The past three years were characterized by a herd-like embrace of a hostility that was anti-scientific, anti-American and anti-human. Now that illiterates who put their naive trust in Big Pharma are dropping dead all around us it’s obvious that those of us who questioned the Covidian narrative were absolutely correct in doing so. It wasn’t exactly difficult to anticipate the turn-key tyranny of 2020 because oligarchs the world over have been publishing their dictatorship plans for decades. There were plenty of attempts to warn followers of the Cult, but a horse can only be led to logic. One cannot make it think.

Despite what we were taught in public school, the most enslaved populations on earth are those who know how to read but are never taught how to think, because they’re the most susceptible to the poisons of propaganda. After all, a population that can’t read cannot uptake the psychological manipulation to the same degree as one that can. They’ll repeat what they read and what they’re told uncritically. The very same hateful sentences that were vomited out of Racheal Maddow’s pretentious face about so-called anti-vax deplorables were repeated word-for-word from coast to coast by these zealots. Their religion is Scientism and their Pope is Saint Fauci.

For the most part, those who never recovered from the institutionalized brain washing pushed by the Cult will never be able to acknowledge the overwhelming evidence that C19 injections constitute lethal clot shots, or the fact that their deployment signifies a mass murder campaign of a truly biblical magnitude. Blind faith in vaccinations has led the civilization down the blind alley of a completely avoidable mass slaughter. And this genocide was completely voluntary. Those of us who warned that following this insanity represented collective suicide were unfortunately vindicated again and again. The judgmental vitriol of the true believers who repeated Pfizer’s talking points uncritically was rewarded in kind.

So, now that the tables have turned and the shoe is on the other foot, are those who have endured profound discrimination throughout the last three years really expected to abstain from schadenfreude? After witnessing the macabre ritual of synchronized dancing nurse teams throughout 2020, are we not justified in dancing over the graves of Cultists who wished the rest of us dead?

The Cultists would clearly dance on our graves if they could, and that mentality is part of what differentiates them from everyone else. It’s ultimately our humility that differentiates us from the Cultists. To avoid becoming our enemies we must be careful not to hate them the way they hate us.

At the same time it seems mortally unwise to simply ignore the Cult’s totalitarian aims. It is true that the Cult might be tempting people into violence by baiting us with one glaring injustice after another. And the window to resolve these problems peacefully seems to be closing fast. But if the Cult’s goal involves destroying traditional values and subverting the Law, thoughtful Americans would do well to acknowledge and avoid the traps before taking action. To be effective, a rational response must also be creative, as opposed to the destructive acts that define the Cult. Whatever we do, we should beware of embracing the same hatred that has consumed the Cult’s followers.

When Will The Weed Be Freed?

REEFER SADNESS

With the ongoing legalization of medical marijuana across the country, coupled with a continued effort to secure decriminalization, and even legalization, for recreational use in a handful of states, this year’s 4/20 celebration is widely anticipated to be the largest ever seen. Colorado and Washington successfully enacted laws to tax and regulate the burgeoning recreational application. Meanwhile Alaska, Oregon and the District of Columbia are enacting laws to make possession of small amounts legal. But the growing trend of recreational legalization by the states exists in a state of legal limbo, perched precariously between the issue of States’ Rights, and the US Constitution’s “Supremacy Clause.” The Supremacy clause states that federal law always takes precedence when state and federal statutes are in conflict, and this is exactly what states like Nebraska and Oklahoma are citing amid their attempts to quash Colorado’s growing recreational pot industry before the US Supreme Court.

The issue of whether individual states have the legal precedent to set their own drug policies as opposed to the apparent higher authority of federal restrictions becomes even more clouded in Washington DC, where voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot initiative to allow the legal possession of up to two ounces within the city, and for residents to grow up to six plants in their homes. In an attempt to block the democratically approved measure, congress continues to work tirelessly to deny Americans their human right to alter their own consciousness and medicate responsibly. Attached within an unrelated Trillion-dollar federal appropriation bill, congress hastily attempted to prohibit the municipality of Washington DC from ever legalizing cannabis; the attached provision would not allow funding to be allocated from the budget to ‘enact’ the legalization referendum that voters passed. In fact, the future of DC’s pot legalization will be determined by the court’s interpretation of that very word: “enact.” However, since the DC pot legalization already took effect by the time this bill was passed, and since the legalization initiative did not set up any regulation or taxation programs, there is literally nothing to “enact.” Nevertheless, congressmen opposed to cannabis legalization are working hard to twist the loopholes within the legalese to retroactively squash the voice of the voters. But if anyone in DC government discuss the details of taxing or regulating the marijuana industry while they’re on the clock at work, they could actually face jail time since such discussions would technically violate the congressional marijuana order.

Adding fuel to the fire is an ongoing protest taking currently place around the clock in Washington DC, where a group of protesters have chained themselves to a 42-foot tall “liberty pole” on the capital mall. The protest, culminating at 4:20 PM on April 20th, was initiated at 4:20 AM on April 15th, tax day, explicitly to call attention to the fact that DC residents are being subjected to what they consider an instance of taxation without representation. That ancient rallying cry from the good old days of the American Revolution is such an important part of the Washington DC identity that the slogan “No Taxation Without Representation” actually appears on DC vehicle license plates. But the liberty pole protesters are eager to point out that despite their cooperation with federal taxes, they do not have voting representatives either in the House nor the Senate. Their heavy invocation of the 4/20 movement in their protest implies that congress’s attempts to snuff the DC pot law is an unfair and uninvited federal overreach into the lives of everyday citizens.

While Colorado and Washington state have introduced, taxed, and regulated cannabis for recreational purposes, Alaska and Oregon are the latest states to be found waiting in the wings. Both states are in the process of passing voter-referendums similar to that of Washington DC allowing citizens to possess and grow cannabis for personal use, but still forbidding its sale and public consumption.

Interestingly, since these laws explicitly allow donations of marijuana – not the sale of it – DC was host last month to the largest weed seed give-away in history. People lined up for blocks for a chance to receive free packets of their very own marijuana seeds given away at a local DC bar and restaurant. Since the sale or purchase of pot or seeds is still illegal in DC, it was the only chance most citizens had to obtain the seeds needed to start their own legal home-based gardens. Because of the immense turnout at the give-away, it is broadly believed that a great deal of the recipients were not actually DC residents, but had come from nearby Virginia and Maryland, where pot is still unequivocally illegal. As an unintended side-effect of congress’s attempted restrictions, DC police were legally forbidden from tracking or even monitoring the recipients of the free weed seed extravaganza in any way.

In a city where DEA and secret service agents are at the center of controversy for multiple drunk-driving and prostitution scandals, congress has unwittingly passed a law that provides a smoke-screen for a burgeoning gray-market of marijuana trade and barter in the greater DC area.

BRINGING IT HOME

So now that we’re aware of the situation in Washington, Colorado, Oregon, Alaska and the District of Columbia, we turn our attention inward. Where does Montana stand on legal cannabis reform? In Montana, possession a single joint can still land you in jail for six months; possession of two ounces can result in a sentence of up to five years. Montana voters, however, successfully pushed the legalization of medical marijuana in 2004. Despite our intrepid legislators meeting five times since 2004 to discuss this issue, they have continuously failed to enact a workable regulatory system. Then in 2011 the legislature attempted to such down all cannabis businesses with their “repeal in disguise,” alongside coordinated paramilitary raids on marijuana facilities in 13 cities across the state in March of the same year.

Cannabis persecution presents an easy answer for law enforcement officers seeking to make themselves look good to their superiors. Montana chalked up more than 1,500 arrests and citations for marijuana-related offenses in 2012, 95% of which were for possession. At the same time, our law enforcement agencies were unable to solve 91% of all burglaries, including home invasions. Also at the same time, our law enforcement agencies failed to solve more than 85% of all motor vehicle thefts.

Our law enforcement agencies could choose to focus on actual crimes – that is, cases that involve an injured party – but instead arrest thousands of adults for possession of a substance unanimously recognized as being safer than alcohol. They couldn’t close the books on most burglaries, but somehow endeavour to protect us from ourselves, denying our human right to alter our own consciousness – to imbibe a medicine as prolific as it is beautiful – a medicine that is older than human civilization.

Meanwhile, our marijuana DUI law remains in effect. According to the Marijuana Policy Project:

“Montana’s unscientific DUI law remains in effect, which makes it a crime for a driver to have five or more nanograms per milliliter of THC (ng/mL) in his or her bloodstream, whether or not the person is actually impaired. Without a doubt, people should not drive while impaired. However, medical marijuana patients may have that level of THC in their blood long after any impairment has worn off. This law is bad for medical marijuana patients because it does not reflect on their ability to drive safely.”

Why is this collective cultural psychosis allowed to continue? Why do we tell ourselves there’s nothing we can do about this aside from electing the right representative? Why do most Americans continue following stupid orders and unjust laws in the lunacy of the modern American police state? How does America conserve her whimsical assumption that it’s not a drug if it was prescribed by a doctor? How have we allowed the madness of the Nixon administration to reverberate into the present moment? Why do we fear what will happen if our children – God forbid – experience beautiful adventures in consciousness, or live their own lives responsibly? Why must we feel so obligated to protect our children from exhilaration? Why must we protect our children from euphoria? -from growing up? -from being capable of living their lives when they grow up? How does the crazy myth of the gateway theory continue perpetuate? Why do we forever maintain the folly that misery and suffering are not only normal, but desirable? Why must we continue to demonize anything that feels good, embracing all that makes us feel miserable? Why must we prevent our neighbours from benefiting from a world that expresses love and empathy instead of fear and malice? Why does America preserve the mentality that euphoria is, in fact, a negative side effect? How is what you do with your mind any of my business? How is what I do with my mind any of your business? Why do we prolong invasive probation and parole racketeering schemes for the sake of state profits? How can law enforcement possibly justify throwing innocent souls into corrals in the name of protecting communities that they, the enforcers, are completely disconnected from? Why have we begun to label drug offenders as terrorists? Why does it seem that many politicians simply won’t rest until all of our sons and daughters thoroughly understand the hammer blows of totalitarianism? Why can’t so many citizens acknowledge that breaking stupid laws is why we revere revolutionaries of yesteryear? Why do we collectively exalt those who enforce these stupid laws as benevolent heroes? Why is America building up her police forces into domestic para-military Gestapo armies? What does a police force need a tank for? Why must the accused prove their innocence without any assets to pay for their defense in rigged court rooms? Why does the government commemorate itself as the victim in these victim-less cases that bear no injured party whatsoever? And above all else, why does America seem so hell-bent on preventing the common people from thinking, pondering, or ever even questioning this insanity that we have codified as the established tradition of the ‘sane society?’
PrisonDrugProfitsWe know these policies are absurd. We know these laws are ridiculous. The police know it too. So why is it allowed to continue? Because every year thousands of medical doctors alongside members of the Anti-Smoking Inquisition spend billions of dollars perpetuating what has unquestionably become the most misleading though successful social engineering scam in history. With the encouragement of most western governments, corporate lobbyists pursue smokers with a fanatical zeal that completely overshadows America’s ridiculous alcohol prohibition. 
And much of the mainstream media toes that corporate line, spewing fear-mongering and sensationalism. Not long ago our media was boldly claiming that cannabis use permanently lowered IQ, a finding that marijuana prohibitionists and anti-drug bureaucrats were happy to repeat ad nauseam.

Because drug offenders become labourers in our prisons. Because marijuana reform threatens the monolith of the pharmaceutical industry. Because cannabis legalization threatens the job security of police unions. Because the drug war justifies the inhuman violence that takes place each day in this country. Because the drug war provides the perfect opportunity to rationalize state-sponsored terror.

NoDrug


GET REAL

As larger and larger waves of Americans awaken from the lies of the D.A.R.E. program, Nancy Regan’s “just say no” campaign, and vociferous slough of absurdest public service announcements intended to justify the continued persecution of individuals who imbibe cannabis, an increasing number of public figures are beginning to realize they’re getting left behind.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta, the mainstream media’s go-to medical correspondent, was himself ardently opposed to marijuana use until he actually got around to researching it and then changed his tune dramatically, hosting three hour-long documentaries and calling for a “weed revolution.” It’s unclear whether his 180 is a result of actually conducting the research, or if he simply realized that if he didn’t admit to what the rest of the country already knows, no one would take him seriously ever again.

But it is nevertheless profound what happens when we base our decisions on facts and information as apportioned from research, instead of blindly acquiescing to scare tactics, propaganda and lies. Such endeavours seem to have a tendency of leading us toward the truth.

Altering Your Consciousness Is A Human Right

War_on_medical_marijuana_by_Latuff2

How Can You Have a Crime Without a Victim?

Every year, countless doctors in addition to other members of the “Anti-Smoking Inquisition” spend billions perpetuating what has unquestionably become the most misleading and simultaneously successful social engineering scam in recorded Human history. As Orwellian dominators encourage Governments to egg on Nixon’s drug war indefinitely, Corporate lobbyists pursue non-violent users of marijuana (and other s0-called “illegal” medicines) with the fanatical zeal that somehow completely overshadows the ridiculous American alcohol prohibition debacle.

According to Paul Armentano of Alternet:

“The mainstream media launched into a reefer mad frenzy this week after researchers from Harvard University in Boston and Northwestern University in Chicago published the results of a neuroimaging study assessing the brains of a small cohort of regular marijuana smokers and non-users. The brain scans identified various differences between the two groups in three aspects of brain morphometry: gray matter density, volume, and shape. These differences triggered dozens of high-profile media outlets to lose their collective minds.  The sharks quickly gathered around to toe the establishment narrative. CNN reported: Casual marijuana use may damage your brain; Science Daily reported, More joints equal more damage; Financial Post reported Study proves occasional marijuana use is mind altering; Time magazine reported Recreational pot use harmful to young people’s brains. Another headline reads: Smoking cannabis will change you That’s not a risk, its a certainty.

“Just imagine how the media would have responded if the study in question had included more than 20 actual cases — or if the authors had actually bothered to assess its subjects for demonstrable deficits in cognitive performance. Yes, that’s right. Despite the sky-is-falling rhetoric and the shock claims of permanent brain damage, a careful review of the study and its findings reveals little, if any, cause for alarm.

So what did the study actually find? In truth, not a whole lot. 

Using high–resolution MRI imaging, scientists identified specific changes in particular regions of the brain that they inferred were likely due to marijuana exposure. Since researchers only performed a single MRI session, they could not say definitively whether these changes were, in fact, caused by cannabis or whether they existed prior to subjects’ use of the plant. Notably, however, these changes did not appear to be associated with any adverse effects in subjects’ actual cognition or behavior. Separate studies assessing youth use of legal intoxicants, such as nicotine and alcohol,have also been associated with documented changes in brain structure. Ditto for caffeine intake in preclinical models.”

These findings have received far less media attention than the fear mongering that we see even in Saturday’s issue of the Missoulian.

Charles Johnson reports:

“A Billings businessman has proposed an initiative for the November 2014 ballot that effectively would ban the possession, use, cultivation, trafficking and transportation of marijuana in Montana. Steve Zabawa submitted the measure this week to Secretary of State Linda McCulloch’s office. If approved, it would change state law to say that any drug listed on Schedule I of the Federal Controlled Substances Act “may not be legally possessed, received, transferred, manufactured, cultivated, trafficked, transported, or used in Montana… The initiative would eliminate the current disparity between Federal Law and State Law with respect to the legal status of the possession and use of marijuana,” the proposed ballot measure said.”

In 2004 Montanans unanimously stood up as one consciousness and demanded legalization, but State officials continue to piss right in our faces. And somehow, marijuana is still to this very day, insanely listed as a Schedule I Controlled Substance; that is an illegal substance with ‘no known medical benefit.’ The Scheduling of substances is nothing more than an outright lie to perpetuate Big Pharma’s monopoly on the drug trade, and their stranglehold on real medicine.

Armentano Continues:

“Both the cases (20 marijuana users) and controls (20 nonusers) in the study were recruited from local universities, undermining the notion that the alleged ‘brain damaged potheads’ were any more academically challenged than their non-using peers. Further, as summarized by HealthDay:

“Psychiatric interviews revealed that the pot smokers did not meet criteria for drug dependence. For example, marijuana use did not interfere with their studies, work or other activities, and they had not needed to increase the amount they used to get the same high.”
 
In other words, case subjects and controls appeared to function similarly in their professional and academic endeavors. 
 
A separate review of nearly a dozen studies (involving a total of 623 cannabis users and 409 non- or minimal users) published in the Journal of the International Psychological Society similarly reported, “The results of our meta-analytic study failed to reveal a substantial, systematic effect of long-term, regular cannabis consumption on the neurocognitive functioning of users who were not acutely intoxicated.”
 
Moreover, other studies, though admittedly comprised of small sample sizes, have indicated that in some instances cannabis may actually protect the brain, particularly against the potentially damaging effects of alcohol.

“Such fear-mongering and sensationalism by the mainstream media in regards to the supposed harms of pot upon the brain are nothing new. It wasn’t long ago that the mainstream media was boldly claiming that cannabis use permanently lowered IQ, a finding that marijuana prohibitionists and anti-drug bureaucrats were happy to repeat ad-nauseam.”

This latest round of mainstream propaganda exemplifies the modern religious dogmatism of the scientific study. Like a fancy statistically based bible, if a scientific study said it, then it must be true, but who funds these studies controls the statistics, and if you know how to read statistics, you’ll inevitably find flaws. Due in part for of this latest round of Harvard-backed disinformation, I’m lead to never take another so-called scientific study as fact ever again. I know what’s true and I know what’s real, and so does every other thinking, feeling human being on the planet. This Harvard study and the mainstream media fall out also reaffirms that the masters of the prison-industrial complex will sustain their blatant campaign of lies to protect their sacred profit margins at all cost. That’s all this is. Prisons employ slave labor, which few industries can compete with. This isn’t about marijuana. It isn’t about drugs. It isn’t about people who use drugs. It’s about throwing people into penitentiaries for the sake of making money off of their backs. The prison industry is the fastest growing industry in America, and if we allow this continue, it will soon become the only industry America has.

It cannot be emphasized enough how important this is. This is one of the most fundamentally important issues for our society This is the crux for our generation; this the most important dialogue we can engage in for the opening chapter in the Age of Aquarius. Hear me now. This drug war has to stop, and it has to stop NOW. Not tomorrow, not after dinner, NOW. It must stop. This isn’t a whimsical pipe dream. We can have peace on this Earth, and the light workers know this to be possible, but the revolution must start in the mind and in the heart. It’s not impossible to put an end to this war, and make no mistake: this IS war. Its a war that is waged every day on American streets, in American cities, in American homes, on Americans in America. We’ve waged so much war the world over, that now we’re waging war on each other. Our society has become so insanely consumed by collective hatred that all we can imagine is violence. We have not frame of reference to understand peace because we’ve never had peace.

Every aspect of our mind environment is saturated by violence, from television shows to films and video games, and that informs our view of the world. And the drug war justifies the inhuman violence that takes place each day in this country. More than half of the people we’ve locked up are in prison for the victimless act of possessing substances demonized by the state. For those of us who joined the military with a death wish and the desire to inflict harm upon others, the drug war provides the perfect opportunity for us to rationalize state-sponsored terror. Every aspect of our culture is rooted in waging war, and we’ve been at war for so long that we can’t imagine anything else. We have no frame of reference to even imagine peace because we’ve never known the meaning of the word. And this drug war is the corrosive carcinogen eating away at little is left of our society from the inside out. We have criminalized the behavior of free Human Beings to throw them in cages and throw AWAY the keys. Why are we doing this? Why are we doing this? People don’t deserve to have their lives taken away, their relatives incarcerated, or their possessions confiscated. Why are we doing this? Why?

drugs_just_say_no_propoganda

Because we’ve got to continue our collective cultural psychosis, don’t we? We’ve got to continue telling ourselves there is nothing we can do about these problems. We’ve got to continue to worry about worrying about number one. We’ve got to continue asking the question; how am I going to get mine?

We’ve got to keep following stupid orders and unjust laws in the lunacy of the modern American police state. We’ve got to continue prescribing SSRI antidepressants to maintain big pharma’s ever increasing record profits. We must conserve our society’s whimsical assumption that we can pop a pill and make our problems flutter away, unless the state has deemed the substance illegal. We’ve got to perpetuate the madness of this drug war initiated by the Nixon Administration. We must carry on the lie that Tylenol, Ibuprofen, coffee, soda, tea, chocolate, cigarettes and pharmaceuticals are not drugs at all. We must pound into people’s heads that drugs are bad, mmKAY? We’ve got to continue outlawing anyone from ever changing their own individual perception, because people obviously can’t be trusted to think, now can they? We the people must continue consuming this line of spoon-fed idiocy by the establishment’s corporate controlled media outlets without a shred of discernment or critical thinking on our own behalf. We’ve got to continue repeating the same ridiculous pre-pacakged responses to fact-based arguments.  We’ve got to continue fearing what will happen if our children – God forbid – experience beautiful adventures in consciousness. We must protect our children from exhilaration. We must prolong the crazy myth of the gateway theory.  We must forever deprive humanity of euphoria, and instead maintain the folly that misery and suffering are not only normal, but to be desired. We must sustain the demonization of anything that feels good, and embrace situations which makes us miserable, don’t we? We must prevent at all cost, the people from benefiting the world around them by exerting love and pleasure into their surrounding atmosphere.  We must completely eliminate the human emotions of empathy. We must preserve the mentality that euphoria is a negative side effect, and someday we can accomplish our dream of outlawing all euphoria-based activities including sex, for the good of the State. We’ve got to continue shoving our noses where they don’t belong.  We must prolong invasive probation and parole racketeering for the sake of state profits. The law enforcement community must continue to throw innocent souls into corrals in the name of protecting communities that they are completely disconnected from.

Indeed, we must continue to label drug offenders as terrorists. We have to continue to justify throwing non-violent people into cages. We cannot rest until every one of our sons and daughters thoroughly understand the hammer blows of draconian enforcement.  We must carry on the ontological guilt of breaking stupid laws, and label the good people who violate these stupid laws not only as worthless criminals, but as the scum of the Earth. We must keep exalting those who enforce these stupid laws as benevolent heroes. We must continue to accrue enemies, and build up our police forces into domestic para-military Gestapo armies. We must exalt intelligence agencies like the CIA and the NSA as God incarnate. We must immortalize the American Gulag Archipelago to statures the former Soviet Union could only dream about. We must continue seizing the assets of those who dare to step outside of the line. We must punish the poor for not having money. We must eternalize the guilty plea, with perhaps no opportunity for the accused to prove their innocence without any assets to pay for their defense in rigged court rooms. We must extend the mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines which tie judges hands and force the innocent into labor camps despite the circumstances of any one individual case. We must commemorate the government as the victim in these victimless crimes which bear no injured party whatsoever. We must institutionalize slavery as an accepted norm of western colonial culture. And above all else, we must prevent the people from thinking, pondering, or ever even questioning this insanity that we have codified as the established tradition of the “sane society.”

legalize

Shame on those who advocate this point of view, and Damn those who enforce it. War is not the answer, and for those who got it wrong on purpose, good luck digesting that Karma later on.  I suppose it depends what side of history you want to be on. None of us are getting out of this alive, so the question is: How do you want to be remembered? As an  ignorant and perhaps even intentionally evil coward, or a Human Being. When injustice becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.
