Now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of their country...Revised 1/10/2020

I just read a blog from a woman who left her church because of their support of our fake president there is and article and an link here:
Disgusted’ Christian woman explains why she left her church over its support for Trump

This is me before I became an atheist! When I finally discovered that the truth comes from real life experience and not some of book written by a bunch of unknown authors, some with dubious motives, and put together by some truly evil people.(KJB)

The people who are drumpfs base, are what drove me from the church and helped me to see that God and Jesus are just myths from the human tragedy...A tool to control the masses.

What I did take from religion was to be my brothers keeper, respect the planet and life on it, do good and try to leave things better than you found them. This is just common sense and I get sick to my stomach when I look around and see where my country has gone.

I can't sympathise with people who were so upset when Obama won. This is a completely different situation. For some unknown reason people were really upset because he tired to fight for our environment, feed the poor and make sure we all have equal rights and affordable health care.

 That will be another post.

Truth and justice have lost their meaning. And oligarchs, plutocrats et al, have taken our leadership and are gonna rape our natural resources. I'm not gonna just sit around and let it happen.

I think the main reason we're in this situation is we got apathetic and we put too much faith in the idea that all people are basically good and our leaders, lead because they want the best for us all. Unfortunately that's another myth.

We are seeing the people who want to lead because they want what's best for themselves, and not for the people. These people are pushing the people who should be leading out of the way. They can do this because of the same reason they became wealthy. They will do and say whatever they have to do to get more power and money. I wouldn't be able to live with myself.

There are no Senators and only a few Representatives who are not worth over a million $. A person's ability to make money by any means necessary is not the best people to lead. Being born to into wealth is even worse. These people rarely have honor, integrity or compassion for anything. I saw how it making was done when was really young. I came to a crossroads and had to make a choice that would radically change my life.You have to be willing to screw over your best friend or even your family if you want to be wealthy, and I couldn't in good conscious do what was required.

I would do it all over again, and I can't say I wouldn't change my life if I could, because like us all we have done things we're not proud of. But then again, every experience you have builds your character, good and bad. I like to think I came out of it all a good person.

The people who are the most unfit to lead are those who were born into wealth. You can't convince me otherwise. Absolute power, corrupts absolutely on every level of society. From the police the the POTUS.  They were raised in a bubble and have never had to sacrifice or been through adversity, hardship, sacrifice, the building blocks of becoming a good person. The most traumatic experience they lived through  is when the Limo broke down on the highway. How can a person like that possibly be a leader of everyday, diverse, hard working people? Their whole perception of normal life is only what they see on TV.

We need to get to a place where the best people to lead, want to do it. Drumpf and his entire cabinet are a caricature of bad leadership, and those kind of people should never be in positions of power. They should have never been allowed to be in those positions. They are there because of our apathy, and the fact that our government is for sale.  To forward that, we have gerrymandering, political office for sale, states for sale,lobbyists, think tanks, people who consider their political donations an investment, religious groups and Citizens United (doublespeak for 'unlimited funds to take over the government'). I think you get the idea.

I see a big change,  and I see many who feel just as I do and are taking action. This is just the beginning. I hate to brag but I am usually ahead of the curve. The marches and demonstrations you see happening are just the seed of something really big, but don't just watch, get in there and make it happen.

We are smarter and more creative than these usurpers, and that is why we will prevail.

All we need is that intention.

 Wake up and live, Bob Marley:

Life is one big road with lots of signs
So when you riding through the ruts
Don't you complicate your mind
Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy!
Don't bury your thoughts
Put your vision to reality, yeah!
Wake up and live, y'all!

As I predicted when I wrote this in 2017, the big change happened at the 2018 midterms. People were outraged enough to get off their butts and vote. You ain't seen nothing yet. My next prediction is that trump will lose by a popular landslide, and still refuse to leave office...because unfair. He has been hemorrhaging supporters with every vindictive ,vengeful, and unconstitutional thing he does...and he even knows it. For anything he says, we have seen the opposite is true. To him andy negative press or criticism is written off as fake news, and his supporters will  believe anything he says. They had to surrender their BS detectors long ago.

Now my Perceptors still have not picked up who will go against him because of data manipulation and corruption, but they do tell me that Biden, or Sanders will not be the ones. I think Biden 'popularity in the polls is artificially created. Remember, trump WANTS to run against him. That is a really big tell where trump is concerned. Remember, the opposite of what he says is 99% of the time, the truth. I won't be surprised if Klobuchar ends up being the nominee, but for now I support Elizabeth Warren. I will vote for anyone going against Trump. She is the smartest one in the room. It's unfortunate that-that one never wins.

I will have more to say about all that in my next post. #BeWorst #PurpleTsunami #Resist #Occupy #ArrestTrump #ArrestBarr

DON'T BOO-HOO, VOTE!  (Modified Obama quote)

How industrial hemp and pot became illegal.

This also explains why we're dependant on foreign oil. I found this, and reposted it. Written in 1998, I tried, but could not contact the author. I have checked the info, and it is accurate.


Yeah, and that's one of the things that happened in 1937. Cannabis Hemp was one of history's most widely used plants. Tincture of Cannabis was the basis for almost every patent medicine prior to the discovery of aspirin. Hemp was used for rope, twine, and cloth. Sailing ships were loaded with hemp. The word "canvas" is derived from "cannabis", because that's what canvas was. Sails were made of hemp because salt water deteriorated cotton. Old sails were made into wagon covers and ultimately original Levi's Jeans. And the pressed oil from hemp seeds was used for paints and varnishes. Everyone knew what hemp was. But nobody knew what marijuana was.

Basically, it came down to this. America in the 1900's saw two powerful rivals, agriculture and industry, faced off over several multi-billion dollar markets. When Rudolph Diesel produced his engine in 1896, he'd assumed it would run off of vegetable and seed oils, especially hemp, which is superior to petroleum. Just think about that for a second. A fuel that can be grown by our farmers that is superior to foreign oil. What a lot of history would have been rewritten!

Ok. So we have an elite group of special interests dominated by Du Pont petrochemical company and it's major financial backer and key political ally, Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon. Mellon was a banker who took over Gulf Oil Corporation. In 1913, Henry Ford opened his first auto assembly line, and Gulf Oil opened its first drive-in gas station. In 1919, with ethanol fuel poised to compete with gasoline, Alcohol Prohibition descended on the nation. Lucky Mellon. When President Harding made him Secretary of the Treasury, he was considered the richest man in America. In the 1920's, Mellon arranged for his bank to loan his buddies as Du Pont money to take over General Motors. Du Pont had developed new gasoline additives and the sulfate and sulfite process that made trees into paper.

In the 1930's, Ford Motor Company operated a successful biomass fuel conversion plant using cellulose at Iron Mountain, Michigan. Ford engineers extracted methanol, charcoal fuel, tar, pitch ethyl-acetate and creosote from hemp. The same fundamental ingredients for industry were also being made from fossil fuels.
During the same period, Du Pont was developing cellophane, nylon, and dacron from from fossil fuels. Du Pont held the patents on many synthetics and became a leader in the development of paint, rayon, synthetic rubber, plastics, chemicals, photographic film, insecticides and agricultural chemicals.

From the Du Pont 1937 Annual Report we find a clue to what started to happen next: "The revenue raising power of government may be converted into an instrument for forcing acceptance of sudden new ideas of industrial and social reorganization".
Ok, enter William Randolph Hearst. Hearst's company was a major consumer of the cheap tree-pulp paper that had replaced hemp paper in the late 19th century. The Hearst Corporation was also a major logging company, and produced Du Pont's chemical-drenched tree pulp paper, which yellowed and fell apart after a short time. Fueled by the advertising sold to the petrochemical industries, Hearst Newspapers were also known for their sensationalist stories. Hearst despised poor people, black people, chinese, hindus, and all other minorities. Most of all he hated Mexicans. Pancho Villa's cannabis-smoking troops had reclaimed some 800,000 acres of prime timberland from Hearst in the name of the mexican peasants. And all of the low-quality paper the company planned to make by deforesting it's vast timber holdings were in danger of being replaced by low-cost, high quality paper made from hemp.

Hearst had always supported any kind of prohibition, and now he wanted cannabis included in every anti-narcotics bill. Never mind that cannabis wasn't a narcotic. Facts weren't important. The important thing was to have it completely removed from society, doctors, and industry.

Around 1920 or so, a new word arose - "Marihuana". Through screaming headlines and horror stories,"marihuana" was blamed for murderous rampages by blacks and mexicans. Hearst continued to use his power of the press to impress on his readers the dangers of the "marihuana" plant.

When the Federal Bureau of Narcotics was formed in 1932, Mellon's nephew Harry Anslinger was appointed its head, a job in Mellon's treasury department that was created just for him. Treasury agents were beginning to operate on their own agenda. Deep in the throes of the depression, congress began to reexamine all federal agencies. Anslinger began to fear that his department was in danger of emasculation. Although worldwide, hemp was still big business, in 1935 the Treasury Department began secretly drafting a bill called The Marihuana Tax Act. The Treasury Department's general counsel Herman Oliphant was put in charge of writing something that could get past both Congress and the Court disguised as a tax revenue bill. Congress wasn't all that interested in the matter, seeing as all the information they had to work with was what was provided to them by Anslinger. They deliberately collected horror stories on the evils of marihuana pulled primarily from the Hearst newspapers, called Anslinger's Gore Files. Crimes that had never happened at all were being attributed to marihuana.

So, in 1937, Anslinger went before a poorly attended committee hearing and called for a total ban on marihuana. He stated under oath "This drug is entirely the monster Hyde, the harmful effects of which cannot be measured". Bureaucrats planned the hearings to avoid the discussion of the full House and presented the measure in the guise of a tax revenue bill brought to the six member House Ways and Means Committee, chaired by Du Pont ally Robert Doughton of North Carolina. This bypassed the House without further hearings and passed it over to the Senate Finance Committee, controlled by another ally, Prentiss Brown of Michigan, where it was rubber stamped into law. Once on the books, Anslinger would "administer" the licensing process to make sure that no more commercial hemp was ever grown in the United States. Clinton Hesterm assistant general counsel for the Department of the Treasury, explained to the House Committee " The leading newspapers of the United States have recognized the seriousness of this problem and have advocated federal legislation to control.. marijuana ..The marijuana cigarette is one of the most insidious of all forms of dope, largely because of the failure of the public to understand its fatal qualities."


  At the last minute, a few pro-hemp witnesses showed up. Most of the confusion came from the using of the word "marihuana". Most people had no idea that "marihuana", merely a slang word taken from a drinking song celebrating Pancho Villa's victory, "La Cucaracha", was the same thing as cannabis hemp, a plant which had been an important crop since the founding of the country. Ralph Loziers of the National Oil Seed Institute showed up representing paint manufacturers and lubrication oil processors, and stated that hempseed was an essential commodity. Dr. William C. Woodward of the American Medical Association spoke in defense of cannabis medicines and in protest of the way the bill was handled. Woodward complained that there was no certain data that marihuana use had increased, and stated that if it had, the "newspaper exploitation of the habit had done more to increase it than anything else". Asked point blank if he thought federal legislation was necessary, he replied "I do not .. it is not a medical addiction that is involved." Woodward went on to criticize the way the word "marihuana" had been used to deliberately confuse the medical and industrial hemp communities. "In all you have heard here thus far, no mention has been made of any excessive use of the drug or its excessive distribution by any pharmacist. And yet the burden of this bill is placed heavily on the doctors and pharmacists of the country, and may I say very heavily - most heavily, possibly of all - on the farmers of this country... We can not understand yet ... why this bill should have been prepared in secret for two years without any initiative, even to the profession, that it was being prepared ... no medical man would identify this bill with a medicine until he read it through, because marijuana is not a drug, ... simply a name given cannabis."
A few days later, Representative Fred Vinson of Kentucky was asked to summarize the AMA's position. He lied to the effect that the medical group's legislative counsel (Woodward) "Not only gave this measure full support, but also the approval from the AMA."

The act passed without a roll call vote. Now we can see why it was prepared in secret - passage of the Act put all hemp industries firmly under the control of the very special interests that most benefited from its repression over the years - prohibition police and bureaucrats working in collusion with the petrochemical companies, the timber companies, the alcohol and tobacco industries, the pharmaceutical drug companies, and today, the urine testing, property seizure, police and prison industries.
In that same year, 1937, Du Pont filed its patent on Nylon, a synthetic fiber that took over many of the textile and cordage markets that would have gone to hemp. More than half the American cars on the road were built by GM, which guaranteed Du Pont a captive market for paints, varnishes, plastics, and rubber, all which could have been made from hemp. Furthermore, all GM cars would subsequently be designed to use tetra-ethyl leaded fuel exclusively, which contained additives that Du Pont manufactured. All competition from hemp had been outlawed.

My $0.02 on digg...

...So...after three almost 3 years of loyalty to digg, i was unceremoniously banned...forever...i would digg between 30 and 80 subs a day and shout between 3 and 5 of those to my 350+ mutual friends, and the script that i used for make those shouts allowed me to easily shout from 1 to 200, and ten minutes later i could select 201 to 350 without manually selecting from them from the list... a real time saver!..this should have been a feature!...i also had a mirrors script installed...i would digg my friends stuff 90% of the time unless i thought it was REALLY lame,and if they kept sending me lame stuff, i would De-Friend them...I would at least skim it before digging it, and digg up my friends comments...i mean hey!...i had a good rep and wanted to keep it that way..blind digging and digging lame shit is not good for ones reputation!...I remote administer 5 small business networks, and that allowed me to spend quite a bit of time on digg, so apparently spending too much time digging is forbidden and construed as "egregious violations of the Digg.com TOU", and to top it all off "Due to the nature and severity of abuse, your account will not be reinstated. This decision is final and irreversible."...pretty harsh...especially since i hadn't abused anything!..what was even more confusing was when friends of mine that didn't even know what a script is, started dropping like fly's, saying they were banned for the same reason!...something is rotten at digg and it has little to do with script usage and more to do with politics and suppressing free speech is my conclusion...it's cool though, i live at Mixx now and i am really starting to like it...it has features that digg should have adopted long ago, not to mention they actually care about what the users have to say...hopefully it will stay that way ...and to all my digg friends and enemy's, if you want to get in contact with me, feel free to email me at markusgarvey13@yahoo.com, or at the Anti_Zionist group on Mixx where my user name is...you guessed it!...MarkusGarvey...keep up the good fight!...and...Kevin, Jay and Jen...suck my balls!...
