Mendocino County vs. Feds, Reality Strikes

While most of America sullenly slogs through a sixth year of recession, the likes of which we haven't  seen since the 1930's, several groups of forward thinking citizens have tasked themselves with continuing the battle against backward thinking government.

With an eye on opening an old industry to new players, while adding taxes to the treasury through entrepreneurial know how, and job creation right here at home; America has been profoundly blessed with a new generation of business and civic leaders eager to tackle two of our society's most glaring deficiencies.

First, the role marijuana plays in society; it's medical, moral, and recreational use.

Second, the elimination of the criminal cartels we allowed to take root in all of North/South American society; their continued spread to Africa in search of new consumers, and trans-shipping routes to Europe.

Suffice it to say, the troglodytes in Federal bureaucratic positions have made these endeavors harder by the moment; every time they lean back on laws promulgated by thieves (Nixon), and enforced by followers of Don Quixote (Holder, Haag). I mean what the heck, if you've got a model that's clearly dysfunctional, wasting money and lives as though they were only words, wouldn't any sane person believe that's the right path? Really?

It's the path well worn by our government; head planted firmly in a very dark place while at the same time chanting "If I can't see it, it's not true."

How refreshing would it be if we all had local leaders standing up to the Feds; as the leaders of Mendocino County are to old misguided unenforceable models of prohibition that our  retrograde relics in federal power cling to?

Get a clue Barry, instruct (with crayon stick figure drawings if need be) Herr Holder and his henchwench Haag to find more meaningful ways to blow the hard earned tax dollars they throw at the unachievable, and redirect that energy to ending the corruption that permeates our government. 

Like you've said before there are far bigger fish to fry.

Get your oil boiling brother, we want to see some action that resembles reality rather than the tragic comedy that's defined governmental position since the Marijuana Tax Stamp Act.

What an Em'Barry'sment

So Barry, a new biography coming our way detailing the high school exploits of our current and future President while a member of the notorious "Choom Gang". Smoking weed, drinking beer, doing all the things kids do at that age. All while attending the privileged Punahou School in Oahu with the islands' wealthy elite.

Do tell us Barry, if it was OK for you to partake without penalty; why are you suddenly persecuting those of us who use marijuana for medicine legitimately while under the protection of medical marijuana laws you did not have the benefit of?

Barry allow me to shed a little light for you; those people who elected you, the people who are tired of war, who fear the pendulum's continued swing to the right, are now wondering why you're pushing that pendulum further to the right than Bush?

You've successfully suspended Posse Comitatus, directed the FAA to allow drone flights in civilian airspace. The next logical step in this progression would be to foment public unrest, allowing for the occupation of America's cities under martial law. Considering the ham handed tactics unleashed under your watch, used  with your blessing to quell the Occupy protests; might these be the beginnings of or the training sessions for, the implementation of martial law?
Will the troops coming home be discharged, or will they be dragooned into service here as imposers of martial law?

Thankfully our troops are ending their overseas commitments in two wars whose outcomes will not be known for probably another generation. America re-opened Pandora's Box of interfaith war that the despots of the region had kept a lid on for decades. Clearly these governments we've overthrown were not our friends, nor did they serve their citizenry. However when we endeavor to transplant our way of government on others who have neither the desire nor training to sustain the effort, we get what we have in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Dysfunction, corruption, ineptitude, and a patronage system akin to Tammany Hall.
Different yes, but better?

Reality is America, regardless of who we think we're voting into office, that person does not exist.
He or she is nothing more than an amalgamation of disparate words and deeds, pandering to the elite who control our lives. If you want change, real change, it's not going to happen at the polling place controlled by corporate interests. Look to your past for your future America, the solution lies there.

What Is Barry Smoking?

Remember when? When those of us who use medical marijuana were able to go to a local dispensary to procure our meds, without the hassle associated with the black market? Remember when Barry took office and told his supporters that he would not prosecute medical marijuana providers in states where the citizens approved it's use? Here in California the law we the people made happen is now under full federal assault. Thanks Barry!

So what's your story now Barry? Pandering to those imbued with the governments poisonous propaganda surrounding a plant. While dumping billions more down a black hole of incompetent, corrupt law enforcement that's done nothing but bring about the The Police States Of America. With the enhanced tools of tyranny you've given yourself since the suspension of Posse Comitatus, and the imminent repositioning of the CIA and Air Forces fleets of drone aircraft; will you bring military force to bear against American citizens growing their own herbal medicines?

When you and your cronies in congress got together with W. to push through the Patriot Act, those like myself saw the clear cryptic message splashed in bold black letters across the wall. Our government in the stroke of a pen withdrew our rights as citizens en masse, just as though we were ALL flying those planes on September 11 2001. Our elected leaders decided at that point that every American citizen was under suspicion of being a member of or sympathizing with a terrorist movement.

That now takes us to semantics. What is the governments definition of a terrorist?
Is it only those who take up arms against the government? Or will citizens who defy unjust laws regarding their health care choices be targeted from above as we target Al Qaeda?

Considering the fact that you are the first black American president, don't you find your positions regarding this issue to be a bit ironic? Your actions are certainly more Mugabe than Jefferson, when contrasted with your words. On the one hand, you tell us that we as citizens of California have the right to self determination. On the other you send out henchmen attached to the Attorney General to attack the very citizens who elected you, in direct contradiction of your own words.

So Barry, what are you smoking?
