Libertarian Politics – by James F. Davis

The nail in the coffin of the US War on Drugs is a medical marijuana patent owned by the federal government. At least, it should have been the fatal mistake of a dying concept, but it wasn’t. Instead, the War on Drugs has sloshed onward, buoyed largely by the predation of the government on marijuana users based on the claim that the plant has no medical value. At the very least the feds could change their argument to the reality of the situation, which essentially boils down to the idea that even if marijuana does have medical uses, the government has secured a monopoly on any potential profits.   Continue reading “US Patent 6630507: The Nail in the Drug War Coffin?”

WIKI - Cannabis5Waking Times – by Dylan Charles

The secret is out: marijuana is medicine. And not to the surprise of the pharmaceutical industry, who is slowly but surely gaining exclusive rights to the medical properties of this age-old plant.

But wait. How can a company, other than Monsanto, patent a plant? That’s not a serious question, but it brings up a serious point. Patents on marijuana have yet to cover genetic modifications of the plant itself, but rather involve the cannabinoids found in marijuana that are responsible for its medical effects.   Continue reading “Who Is Trying To Patent Marijuana?”

More than six months since the Japanese nationalistic escalation over the disputed island chain (that shall not be named) in the East China Sea sent Sino-Japanese foreign relations to a level not seen since a particular territorial dispute over Manchuria, tensions just hit a fever pitch overnight, when an armada of eight Chinese ships entered what Japan claimed were its territorial waters.   Continue reading “1,000 Japanese Officers To Participate In “Island Recapture” Drill In California”

Rand Paul in 2010 (Image credit: Gage Skidmore/Flickr)End the Lie – by Madison Ruppert

Senator Rand Paul’s celebrated filibuster of the nomination of CIA Director John Brennan over the Obama administration’s unclear stance on lethal drone strikes on Americans on U.S. soil (which was cleared up slightly) apparently meant absolutely nothing. He has now contradicted himself entirely and stated that he supports the idea of drones killing Americans without charge or trial.   Continue reading “Rand Paul flip-flops, says drone strikes on U.S. citizens on U.S. soil without charge or trial are okay”

There is a special sort of sickness that infects those souls who come into money, power, or fame, that gives them the illusion that they are somehow better than the population at large, and that because of their extraordinary individual circumstance or fortune, they are then “experts” who may dictate to the masses what their God-given rights are, and how their lives are to be conducted.  Continue reading “Bloomberg wants to reintepret the Constitution”

As Americans surrendered their educational system to the federal government, they also surrendered their republic.

During the 1960s, educational expert Benjamin S. Bloom’s Handbook I and II shaped ten educational goals for public schools. Nine of those goals focused upon changing the values and belief systems of American children so they would embrace Bloom’s vision of a “world view”. I remember that history text books used in my classroom in the 1970s typically provided only two sentences about America’s republic. One contained a superficial definition and the other stated that America was a republic. The rest of the chapter praised democracies.   Continue reading “Americans Peacefully Surrender Their Republic”

Its been a banner decade for modern military fighting. In 2010 alone there were more than 70 armed conflicts across the globe from Sangin to Ingushetia.

If the thought of standing accused of a crime you didn’t commit makes you wake up in a cold sweat, you may be suffering from a modern anxiety disorder called patsiphobia or fear of being framed. This condition is provoked by exposure to sloppy false-flag events and contradictory mainstream narratives that result in such cognitive dissonance that many begin to fear that they themselves may be about to go out and do something awful for no apparent reason.   Continue reading “Top 10 Signs You May Be A Patsy”

“This is a story about an extreme miscarriage of justice. It involves the CIA, the US Army and a shitload of cocaine.”

“If you want to, you can question anything to death,” says director Eric Stacey, his melodic Californian drawl coming slow and steady down the line. “But my point of view is, if enough people are writing about the same thing from different backgrounds and perspectives, there’s got to be something to it.”   Continue reading “Filmmaker claims CIA kept innocent man jailed to cover up drug trafficking”

SHTF Plan – by Mac Slavo

Over the course of the last month, while Americans were distracted with the threat of nuclear war on the Korean peninsula and the devastation wrought by the Boston bombings, President Obama was quietly working behind the scenes to craft laws and regulations that will further erode the Second Amendment.

Congress, and thus We the People, may have unequivocally rejected federal legislation in March which aimed to outlaw most semi-automatic rifles, restrict magazine capacity, and force national registration, but that didn’t stop the President from ceding regulatory control over firearms importation to the United Nations just two weeks later. What the UN Arms Trade Treaty, passed without media fanfare by 154 counties, would do is to restrict the global trade of, among other things, small arms and light weapons. Opponents of the treaty argue that loopholes within the new international framework for global gun control may make it illegal for Americans to purchase and import firearms manufactured outside of the United States.   Continue reading “Executive Action: Obama To Ban Importation of Ammo, Magazines and Gun Accessories Without Congressional Approval”
