CORN is for CATTLE.

HEMP is for FUEL.

All that's necessary to to defeat the USA Cotton Industry (Cotton Council). They've been #1 since 1938. They won't concede part of their market quietly.

Every time a Chinese or Russian Olympiad wins a Gold Medal, more innocent people are murdered in Syria, in the name of future oil rights.

Why doesn't the U.S.A. and China and Russia send in uni-lateral forces and take over Syria, then split the oil 4-ways?

Oil is what they want. Let them have it.

~ Thank you for reading my views, at least it made me feel better to say them.
I'm going back to re-building my 1946 Knucklehead Harley and letting other people have a say.

My last opinion is that George Bush and Dick Chaney were the last two "white-men" that will ever be elected as President and V.P.

All future P. and V.P positions will be "mixed" with women, blacks, yellow, and red and any other color that evolves.

"White Only" in the oval office is over.

~ 2012 November Election Results ~

(from a stoner's point of view)

There are (4) full months of action before the November 2012 presidential elections. Between today and election day, if the United States is not in armed conflict with another country, Mitt Romney will win.

If the dominate powers here at home plop us into conflict (preplanned to the 'inth degree) Borack Obama will remain in office.
Presidential voting history dictates so.

2012 will be the lowest voter turnout in history. People in general, (conservative republicans especially) will never accept Mormon religion creeping into the presidency and will always be a "bare wires" issue to deal with.

1. Medical Marijuana patients will lose-out no matter who gets elected.

2. People in general, (even far left liberals) will reflect upon the "look" of David Axlerods' ragged moustache, and plastered hair, so greasy that one could fry an egg on it, and say to themselves, "Who wants that smirking slob representing my interest and world future?" and to punish David, they'll stay home and not vote.

3. Most people will find an excuse this year not to vote and "let the chips fall where they may", because "it can't get any worse", and "all the elected do is go to D.C and fight, delay, and log-jam until June 15, or Dec. 15, of every year and then split-town for home or wherever".

What have they done for you in the last (4) years?

4. Don't vote. See if the elected get the message.

5. Push for states to swallow their religious pride and accept Medical Marijuana tax revenues to facilitate good.
There's no bad karma attached to legal weed, like there is deaths from alcohol and tobacco.

6. Wake Up! Do Something. Say something.

~ Stop the DEA ~

Don't Vote in November

"Last month, DEA director, Ms. Leonhart, BA (Criminology), testified as an unqualified medical spokesperson for the DEA before Congress, that she believed that heroin and marijuana posed similar threats to the public's health because, in her opinion, "all illegal drugs are bad."

- NORML 7/2/12
-----------------------------------------------------------

That's it. Ms. Leonhart, who is not a medical doctor, and holds a 4-year degree in criminology, somehow has "channeled" every legal and health related issue, and every single crime status report from all over America, to arrive with an empty-handed conclusion, and without a shred of medical evidence, that:

"Heroin and Marijuana pose similar threats (similar? What frickin' threat?) and that all illegal drugs are bad."
----------------------------------------------------------
Well....how are you going to argue with that? It's a drug-lord dictatorship. The DEA won't come clean about cannabis, so you KNOW they have something to hide, along with the ATF, who's problems are forever buried from public scrutiny. Same old story, year after year after year.
Ms. Leonhard is TOLD WHAT TO SAY, BY ANOTHER ENTITY. She has no real knowledge about cannabis, only the same old boilerplate of a Stonewaller, protecting the interest of alcohol producers.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Here is what scares them deeply to the core of their existence, even NORML:

The THREAT OF NOT VOTING. No one in VOTING in November GETS THEIR ATTENTION.

IF NORML DOES NOT HAVE A "Type-1 Narcotic re-classification" BALLOT IN THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS, THEN THREATEN NOW....NOT TO VOTE.

Believe that then...... your "voice" will be heard loud and clear.

Another story about my homeboy Warren Buffett and his children and how they went to public school so what did it do for the intercity kid over the last 50 years with there good future to be classmates of the Buffett kids.

Omaha got some of the worst schools for minorities and the crime rate and poverty is some of the worst condition in America.

However whether it the fraud by the insurance company or the fraud by Goldman Sachs outlaws that Mr. Buffett funded with a $5 billion loan in 2008 while being an adviser to the White House were I am sure that Geithner decision to pay 100% on the dollar for the bets AIG took on CDS.

Now we have a situation where Buffett as the larges stock holder of Wells Fargo Bank who has a crime going on with Ginnie Mae that threaten the financial security of America because there are trillion of dollar in Ginnie Mae mortgage backed securities that don't have any collateral backing then yet Wells Fargo pretending to be the Lender of a failed banks MBS pools is foreclosing on the loans when in fact it does not have any legal standing to do so.

While this White House wants you to think its this champion of the people the company that is owned by the Federal Government in Ginnie Mae is the biggest crook in fraudulent foreclosures and false insurance claims against we the taxpayers.

You can't even get the FBI to investigate a few trillion dollar crime that is taking place because the Federal Government is involved in the proceeds of the crime.

It is easy to show the crime where court are tricked into thinking Wells Fargo Bank is the owner of mortgage loan debts with the help of the criminal organization of MERS who along with Wells Fargo submits phony mortgage assignment where Wells Fargo in a non-authorized mortgage servicing arrangement with Ginnie Mae who is not a Lender and cannot by law originate, buy or sell a home mortgage at all so it cannot legal accept homeowners monthly payment and cannot have someone collect it for them, as Ginnie Mae is not owed a debt from the homeowners.

What America has to come to grip with is that legally homeowners own the homes free & clear that one Leader that issued MBS and used FHA & VA mortgage loans as the underlying collateral for securities while they wipe away the debt of the mortgage by relinquishing to Ginnie Mae Blank Notes.

A Blank Note is blank as to who owns it, and in the case of Ginnie Mae who is given the Blank Notes cannot by law purchase them and in fact does not pay for the Blank Notes and cannot be listed as the holder in due course (debt holder) because they did not lend or purchase the money debt. Ginnie Mae cannot go to the court and ask that a title (mortgage, deed of trust, security deed) be assigned to them because they don't have any financial interest in the mortgage loans and are not listed on the Notes which are BLANK and are no longer negotiable instruments because Ginnie Mae cannot act as a seller of the Note and the debt was detached from the Notes when they were freely given to Ginnie Mae at the start of the pooling of the mortgage loans turned into securities without permission from the homeowners, who are not obligated to Ginnie Mae at all, and the debt in the situation with a bank that has collapse cannot somehow be restored because the bank is dead and was not the legal owner of the debt at the time it died because in this remote bankruptcy procedure by the now dead bank was supposed to eliminated any future claims to the mortgage loans which it did when the bank was seized by the by the Federal regulator.

America is unaware that Ginnie Mae who is holding these blank Notes is not authorized to modify a mortgage loan and that President Obama has a program called The President's Making Home Affordable and Ginnie Mae is not signed up for the program and because it is not a Lender it cannot change a interest rate or term, and cannot delegate to some Servicer to modify the loans in its place (Wells Fargo)! Ginnie Mae hold a Blank Note and a reason to hold a Note Blank is that you want the identity hidden that you possess that Note.

I am that military veteran that was made to understand the back end of the mortgage loan business and I do understand just how many of our Troops are screwed over by our own Government while kicking out 1 million of our America children out of their homes while the President signs an Executive Order to keep 900,000 illegal immigrate children here in the country. Its about an election year and the Hispanic vote is important but military veteran only make up 1% of the America population!

What on the line for the nation is the rule of law, and several trillions of dollars of MBS don't have collateral supporting them and are worthless in their current state, and it does not matter if civilians feel that it alright to simply take these homes.

~ WHITEWASH THE PLANET TODAY ~

Replace all black earth coloring with an "disappearing ink" organic white-wash, easily made at home from earth-bound ingredients that will break-down into brown dirt in (2) yrs.
Paint all roofs, streets and parking lots near or white, and all solar-panel backgrounds white or near white. Paint only the tubes black.

Fed. Gov. polarized sunglasses are made available for free from "newspaper boxes" at every supermarket and fire station, west of the California Sierra-Nevada mountain range.

Ditto across the "congestion" parts of the world.

Monitor temps for (2) years. Do some math. Identify "hot spots" (i.e; the southwest and eastern seaboard) and gradually release countries and states from imposed "white outs".

Do anything but, put more "black and dark colored installations" on earth that will absorb the sun.

Does this make any sense at all?

ARMS FOR REBELS IN SYRIA: (from a stoner's point of view)

A small number (and hardly significant Assad, so no worries) of CIA officers (trained assassins) are operating secretly (well, sort of) in southern Turkey (great hashish if you're a local), helping allies decide which Syrian opposition fighter's across the border will receive arms to fight the Syrian (Charles Manson) Government.
The weapons include (but not limited to) automatic rifles (AK-47 or better) rocket-propelled grenades, ammunition and anti-tank weapons.
That ought to be a real scene going on in Turkville this morning. Picking a team. (Hell, I reckon!)

Dear Mr. Kroft

I saw your 60 minutes report on CNBC about the perilous situation with state finances, and was APPALLED not by the accuracy of the report (it was accurate) but the fact that you let yourself be "pigeon-holed" by politicians' ideology.

NJ Gov Christie's dire prediction about unfunded state liabilities is ONLY AS GOOD as the ASSUMPTIONS it's based on.

Here's how to SOLVE the US fiscal cliff problem:
Step 1: Google "cia world factbook"
Step 2: Select "France" as the country to review, and expand all sections of the report
Step 3: Note the data for Health expenditures: 3.5% of GDP
Step 4: Just for a second, ASSUME the US healthcare system copies the French model of healthcare, and therefore US healthcare expenditures were the same as France, i.e. 3.5% of GDP.....

.....drum....roll....please....US no longer has a fiscal deficit at any level of government, federal, state, or local!!

Oh BTW, a few comparisons of France vs. US [life exp. data also from the CIA world factbook]:

France US
% population with health insurance: 100% 85%

Life expectancy 81.46 78.49

So the right-wing propaganda that "socialized medicine" will result in poor outcomes is FALSE. How else do you explain a higher life expectancy in France?!

When will the public wake up and realize that the so-called "free market" model of healthcare DOES NOT result in the best allocation of resources, and instead it is well on its way to bankrupting us??!!

Thank you.
