Happy New Year (if you can call it that)

Do you really understand where this drug-war crap is leading to, people? If not, then maybe you can think of 2011 as a 'happy' new year.

One more xmas to go.

Merry Xmas to all of you from me also. Here it was ok as jail goes. Lots of food, a plastic bag full of junk food (mostly candy and chips etc), xmas lights the guys put up and their xmas play (of which their practice interfered with our geezer yoga class but I tolereated them). This was all interrupted however by never ending 'emergency counts.' The counts are the worst thing probably about all this, they are ceaseless. No one ever is gone either -- at least this year. Actually 3 ran off last year.


Regarding the articles referenced in the post below, and the one about letting prisoners smoke pot in prison, the guy I am writing a book about spent two years in Mexican prisons where pot was readily available as well as booze and glue. You can read all about it soon in "Lencho: The true story of a marijuana pioneer."

Dear Inmate9

Can Lady Liberty tollerate
so many behind bars?

As I read this article I couldn't help but think of you... and everyone else in this country. How could "we the people" let this happen to us? I've asked myself that question many times, and I keep recalling that the answer was given thousands of years ago in early Old Testament writings, to wit: "Give us a king." When people are too lazy, too ignorant, too apathetic to look after themselves and their needs they find it expedient to subject themselves to the alleged wisdom of someone more powerful than they are. Where does the enhanced power come from? From us. We abdicate our own thrones and pass the collective torch to some entity that we mistakenly perceive will take better care of us than we can. Sheesh!!! We all should think more like this.

THE INVASION HAS BEGUN!

News you don't hear on TV: Mexican bandits that prey on Mexican Drug Cartel shipments of drugs carried by illegals became engaged in a shoot-out with US border patrol, killing an agent. This took place in Arizona.

Did you know...?

In 2009, 1,663,582 people were arrested for some sort of drug-related crime. Of those, over half (51.6%) were arrested for marijuana with 758,593 people (45.6%) arrested for marijuana possession alone.

Question of the day...

With a demand for censorship growing from the oligarchy over the Wikileaks imbroglio, will the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) censor recent efforts to out their corruption?

Did you know...?

Edwards Air Force base was used to off load cocaine in the mid 1980's by the CIA?

Did you know...?

The CIA may have left a $600,000,000 treasure in gold buried in Paradise California left over from Iran-Contra?

Marijuana Prisoners Committee

On January 11, 2011, the Marijuana Prisoners Committee will post its manifesto for a new strategy on ending the War on Drugs. Listen to the true experts -- those who have fallen prey to this insanity -- and begin to pass the word lest you end up in a Federal Prison, cannon fodder for a corrupt Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and its fellow travelers. We have about ten years left.
