The Big White Lie

Bolivian President Evo Morales claims Michael Levine's book, "The Big White Lie," as proof of DEA and CIA protecting the biggest drug traffickers in the world and using the drug war to manipulate, control and overthrow governments. ~PRWeb

Double Standards: The REAL job of the DEA

DEA to legalize marijuana chemical for Big Pharma but keep it a crime for everyone else. It's classic Big Government pseudoscientific quackery and it's a lot like Mexico: armed enforcers, drug profits, turf wars... except in the U.S., it's all "legal" under the monopolistic protection of the FDA -- an agency that has always sought to protect Big Pharma's market monopolies.

Big Pharma takes over the drug trade, using its own private gang of armed enforcers known as DEA agents. The real job of the DEA, you see, is not to protect people from dangerous drugs, but rather to protect the profits of Big Pharma by shooting, arresting or otherwise destroying anything that competes with Big Pharma. Namely, street dealers of marijuana. ~Natural News

Public expense...

Arkansas is a corrupt state. A place of venal and crafty narcs and politicians. Read 'Van Buren County, Arkansas' in HOAX for this author's overview.

As with all police states, the prison population grows because that's what a police state does to its victims and enemies; warehouses them at public expense.

While the rest of the states are starting to cut back on expanding prison population simply out of fiscal concerns, Arkansas leads the pack in expansion and most of those new prisoners are drug offenders. Arkansas is bucking the popular trend of lightening up on the drug issue because they know the simple public still buys into the war on drug fantasy that has worked so well for so many years.

In 2007, the narcs lead by Shirley Arkansas narco and now mayor Johnny Sowell, fabricated what they called a $5,000,000 marijuana grow and alleged the ringleader to be a local man by the name of Joe Honea. Joe didn't know what a joint looked like but DEA agent Sowell got lots of press with the accusation, arrest and long (long) process of going to trail.

In an amazing turn around for the federal bench, the judge in Honea's case, though he could not reverse the 'guilty' verdict handed down by an ignorant jury led astray by deceptive tactics, reduced the sentence (which could have been 15 years) to 'time served' -- a total of two weeks in jail.

Such bravery by a federal judge is very rare. Click here to read what the judge had to say about all this. Still, in the main, the travesty goes on.

In 2009, the Arkansas prison population increased by an average of 114 people a month. An 3.3% increase. Interestingly, the federal prison system (BOP) continues to rise exponentially also whilst the federal bench orders certain states (California for one) to reduce the size of their population. The BOP is about 40% over capacity. Mostly drug cases, and most of them for marijuana. ~~~

Advertising and Propaganda

"Jack Booted Thugs" ~Fergie's Tech Blog

"Edward Bernays has been cited as the inventor of the consumerist culture that was designed primarily to target people's self-image (or lack thereof) in order to turn a want into a need. This was initially envisioned for products such as cigarettes, for example. However, Bernays also noted in his 1928 book, Propaganda, that "propaganda is the executive arm of the invisible government." This can be seen most clearly in the modern police state and the growing citizen snitch culture, wrapped up in the pseudo-patriotic War on Terror." ~Ten Modern Methods of Mind Control, ActivistPost

"So now we see tyranny emerging in its most blatant form: citizen spies; government COINTELPRO operations against peaceful assembly; technological surveillance of every stripe, and the jackbooted common thug promoted to the top of the class in order to enforce an increasingly regimented society where thought is an actual liability." ~Tyranny's Last Stand, ActivistPost

Where's the Beef?

In September of 2007, officials (including the DEA) busted a marijuana grow site in Van Buren County, Arkansas, alleging that over 9000 plants worth over $5million were seized. Watch the video and let us know what you think....

Big Brother

Remember 'Big Brother' from Orwell's (then) 'futuristic' horror-flic "1984"...? Well apparently the folks who authorize the 'rehab' DAP (Drug Rehabilitation Program) for federal inmates do. And apparently they take rather kindly to it. It's a sad, expenseive joke. Now that the govt. says they are going to economize, I can see DAP being dismantled. It's useless, I know, I been there. Get a closer look yourself. Read this blog posted by inmates who have been there. ~~~

DEA Road-Rage

Decades of Outrage...

The United States Government is probably the most corrupt on earth. Certainly, considering it's size. As the Tortuga Axiom makes plain in HOAX, where there is a pile of cash there are thieves.

The DEA (Drug Extortion Army) is currently the worst  and most notorious example of same on earth but it would seem the US Marshals Service may be taking a cue from their narco brethren.

Fired governmental oversight man Brian S. Aryai, has brought a whistle-blower lawsuit against the Marshal's hot shot Leonard Briskman, the man who recently headed up the Assets Forfeitures Division. Briskman was solely responsible for disposing of these seized items for top dollar and then returning said monies to people who were bilked.

Unlike the DEA, we aren't talking about flat screen TV's and race horses but complex financial instruments and securities involved in white collar crimes. Briskman was calling himself a contractor but on Uncle Sam's dime to wit: 'Asset Valuation Advisors.' The Inspector General of the Justice Department is investigating.

Still, this is petty cash compared to Drug Extortion Army agents who steal millions per day from drug dealers. inmate9 urges all readers to contact congressmen and the Inspector General. Investigate now! It's been decades of this outrage.

To keep the uninformed ignorant...

A correspondent writes: That's what the so-called 'war on drugs' is all about.  One extreme irony of that most hated descriptor is that there is no intended reference to the 'legitimate' drugs that should also be in the crosshairs.  If the 'gubbmint' people in charge cared to give it some thought, and cared enough to ponder the meanings of statistical evidence compiled by their own minions and toadies, they would find themselves confronted with some very damning evidence that makes zero sense in the context of 'demon weed' and other illegal substances: 

One of the top five causes of death in the United States is prescription drugs. Yet, billions of dollars are spent developing and promoting these demon-pharmaceuticals, and the drug companies that market them have the backing of the FDA, AMA and other groups whose social prestigue dazzles our underinformed customer base. 

I have to say that's a chicken-shit way to go about it. Grow up. Grow Pot. Legalize it, bankrupt the DEA and let it go. ~Call Me Diogenes

I am sick to death of the greatest ongoing criminal enterprise both inside and outside of Wall Street that is not being scrutinized by the public eye. The Drug Enforcement Agency is a den of thieves. It is the most powerful 'para-military' agency on the face of the earth.

Our elected cognoscenti either know this and are complicit or are stupidly naive and oblivious to the handwriting on the wall. Either way, our national security and personal well-being is in deep danger. The war on drugs is steadily spilling across our southern border and the real reason for this is staring us right in the face.

We want the DEA investigated and audited, and we want people like Congressman Ron Paul to take on this mission.




Paul is out to abolish the Fed (which isn't a bad idea) but he is also open to legalizing marijuana and ending the war on drugs. And the facts he lays out in the above video about the war in Afghanistan equally apply to the drug-war. We say he should start digging into the DEA. We hope that someone who is close to him will pass along HOAX.

This is an urgent endeavor for America. We say that just as the police will investigate an individual for theft if others accuse him of it, so too can the Marijuana Prisoners Committee produce thousands of men who will testify the DEA came into their homes and stole money, jewelry (especially Rolex watches), cars, boats and whatever else they deemed spoils of war, just exactly as Hitler's Gestapo did.

This absolute historical parallel alone should be adequate foundation to launch an investigation. We, the Marijuana Prisoners Committee, find cause to believe the DEA
agents steal at least a hundred million dollars a year in cash above and beyond what is reported as (the legalized theft of) 'seized assets' from those they arrest and it is way past time to do something about this. ~~~

Corruption vs Honesty

From the Ohio Teapot Party facebook info page (emphasis added):

"It's not a fight between liberal and conservative, republican and democrat, red against blue, or right against left. It's a fight between corruption and honesty, compassion against cruelty, secrecy against transparency, generosity against greed, and most importantly ignorance against intelligence." ~ John S.

''It's not a war on drugs. It's a war on personal freedom. Keep that in mind at all times.''
~ Bill Hicks

Read this disinformational propaganda by the DEA. Watch the youtube video (below) about DEA raids in Afghanistan and get a clue. The drug-war must end. It breeds only corruption, violence and lies. This is intollerable. We must terminate it. Our national security is at stake.

Putting it bluntly....

Can we really be so stupid to believe this chaos stops neatly

right along our border? Graphic: Christian Science Monitor

I think you should sit down next time, with whomever it may be, and put it to them bluntly: 'Who here amongst us thinks they know the real facts to the war on drugs and who knows the real solution?'

Then you tell them the truth: 'It's not the cartels, it's corruption. Drug-war means good money from seized assets for the DEA and excellent graft for those who feel justified to steal it.

At least one hundred million dollars per year is divvied-up this way, top to bottom. That explains why the war on drugs has gone on for over a hundred years. 

Now, this 'legalized' greed, bigotry and prejudice is causing our Southern borders to be
so compromised by the cartels that we about to invade Mexico before the cartels invade the US. Are you willing for more of our children's blood to be shed so that this disasterous war can rage on?

Write congress, picket your courthouse demainding that the DEA be disbanded. That is my message to you all here today. For proof I direct your attention to HOAX which is well documented.

The wages of drug-war

The masses must be beat over the head with the 2x4 of alarm, the cartels are at the door. Legalization is not just as option, it is mandatory because machine guns are truly dangerous. Much more so that smoke from a joint. Pearl Harbor is just around the corner once again! As that article says: "Few reporters are investigating the rampant corruption within the Mexican government itself that has facilitated the spread and growth of that drug trade — and in many cases has participated in it." Do you really think things are different here in the U.S.A. ??? Read HOAX now and demand that our government take action before it's too late!!!

Worth repeating.

The Drug Extortion Army, which number a little over 10,000 men and women are estimated to 'steal' (in 'legal' seizure & corrupt graft) over $100,000,000 in cash per year. That's $100,000 per person. And, we are told by reliable sources, the DEA live like royalty when they are on official business in foreign countries. 

Eddy Lepp

Charles Edward Lepp is a Vietnam War veteran, currently serving a 10-year sentence for the crime of "conspiracy and cultivation with the intent to distribute marijuana".

According to Wikipedia, "Lepp became the first person arrested, tried, and acquitted under California’s medical marijuana law. A subsequent raid on his property in 2002 resulted in confiscation but not prosecution. After this, the gardens really took off, and Lepp devotedly explored the intersections between the religious and medical uses of marijuana. The couple formed a church, Lepp became an ordained minister, and their property became known as Eddy’s Medicinal Gardens and Multi-Denominational Chapel of Cannabis and Rastafari where he grew more than 20,000 pot plants in plain view of a state highway in Northern California's Lake County.

This large grow, even though compliant with California law, did not sit well with Federal officials who arrested him again and barred him from using medical marijuana or religious defenses. He was convicted in September 2008. From time to time, we will share some of Eddy's comments:

"Visits are a wonderful thing. Sadly for must of us they happen way too seldom. A friend of mine has been in for 14 years with 6 left to go and has had 3 visits total. For a country that encourages family values, we do little to encourage they last with outrageous sentences from the start." ~Eddy Lepp

PERVERT DRUG-O-PHILE$

Just as the pediphile scandal has rocked the Roman Catholic Church now for decades (and only grows), so too the astounding scandal at the DEA (Drug Extortionist Army) of blatant robbery continues unabated. Give the victims of DEA theft a chance to testify before congress as have the victims of the pervert priests and the nation will see stories such as these:

"They kept me in a contract jail for four years while the DEA browbeat me for the five million dollars I had stashed away. I made that money selling pot and hash over many years. In the end they got it all but they cut me lose on all the guns I had in my collection in return. I can still see in my minds eye that narc standing there in his Armanie suit and my rollex watch on his wrist." ~Bob Goldsten

"I had accumulated two and a half million, all from marijuana. The DEA narcs stole a quarter-million in cash and my rollex watch." ~Rusty

"I took the two hundred grand from the safety deposit box in Mexico City, the Banco Comer. This was 1984. When I got outside, two DEA agents accosted me. One stuck a gun in my back and they marched me to their car. After they realized it was hundred dollars bills in my satchel, they took me two blocks over and handed me off to the Federalies who put me in the trunk of their Crown Vic. They were told to kill me and I was driven around for fifteen hours. Only my political connections saved my sorry ass." ~Lencho

"The DEA took money and dope every godamn time they showed up." ~Eddy Lepp

"The DEA stole fifty thousand dollars from me and a hundred thousand in cash from my pardner." ~Big Dave

DEA = Drug Extortion Army

Photo credit: Shay Sowden

From a photo-essay published by laist

Right after the Nov. 2 election that saw the close defeat of Prop 19, the US Justice Dept., acting on orders from the DEA (Drug Extortion Army) came to Calif. and met with several Assistant United States Attorneys (AUSA) to map strategy to crush the expansion of the medical marijuana movement. First on the list is Oakland, Calif. and that city's plan to set up and license huge indoor cultivation projects so the city can benefit from badly needed taxation. Since the entire state is broke, that makes sense. 

But the DEA is having none of it. They are contemplating a broad attack on all facets of the med pot trade and Inmate9 believes that means raids on grow-sites this year. Big raids.


The DEA will deputize every cop in sight as well as the national guard and start choping by early summer. Just because Attorney General Holder said it was all right last year means nothing after Nov. 2.


He's changed his mind and we can expect no help from the Obama administration in the future. Obama has turned out to be just another expedient politician. The only diff was he was a black one and he was even a pot smoker himself!

Oh, well. If you are a med-grower and have never been involved with the cops and especially the feds, be ready for some grief. The DEA is all powerful and the feds cheat in court. No one wins against them.

Inmate9 expects to see a new surge of brothers in arms flooding in here soon. Do not forget fellow pot legalziationers, the 'exclusionary rule.' The Federal Government trumps the states in almost all things. The state laws do not protect you in any way. What we must hope for is an awakening to the brewing scandal that is the DEA theft mill.

We say subponea ten thousand drug dealers that have served or are serving time now who say they have been robed by DEA. Write your congressman and demand an investigation of the DEA.  


Don't forget, the DEA knows it's critical to defeat the legalize-marijuana-effort. If marijuana were to be legalized it would be the end for DEA and the money they steal daily from drug dealers. DEA must keep the drug cartels in control of the marijuana trade and since anyone should know so called interdiction does nothing to blunt the trade, keeping their collaborators, the cartels in control is the whole point.


The Drug Extortion Army, which number a little over 10,000 men and women, are estimated to steal over $100,000,000 in cash per year. ~~~

This is barely the tip of the iceburg. Read HOAX.

National Security

HOAX: Manifesto of the Marijuana Prisoners Committee To End the War on Drugs, a PDF book by Inmate9 now availble for immediate download, begins a new dialog. When they handcuff children in the name of law and order (see article in post, below), they go too far. We must demand a Congressional investigation. A critical analytic look at our nationl secruity, with no rose-colored hyperbole.

Action must be as swift and immediate as a surgeon removing a cancerous tumor. Consider, we live today in a world where the police we pay to guard our liberty are taught to lie. In fact they are taught that it is their duty to dupe and coerce others because this is somehow necessary to safeguard our common good.

Can anyone say "Orwellian double-speak"? How about poppycock...!!!
