Cannabis Freedom

I respect what Alex Jones does, but I don't subscribe to conspiracy chasing much because it's time consuming and unproductive. I'd rather be a voice of reason and liberty. However, I will agree, because it's well documented, that organizations like Skull and Bones, Bohemian Grove, and the Bilderberg Group exist and operate to conspire to rule us. Their symbolism exists in government and court logos, emblems, seals, etc. This is the first time I've recognized Death's Head, (a.k.a skull and crossbones, ☠) imagery in Drug Enforcement Administration patches.

I first saw an image like this on the below from Ian of Free Talk Live and FreeKeene.com. Apparently the emblem isn't widely used or it would be prevalent across the net. It does trouble me because law enforcement supposedly exists to "serve and protect" and "keep us safe." I can't count how many times I've been told I should be grateful to law enforcement for the protection the provide to me and my family. If this is the case why do they exert force like the Marines?

The Marines are not peace keepers or law enforcement, they are the nation's "shock troops*." Vice versa, the police shouldn't be shock troops, raining down death and destruction to our cities. Local, state and federal administrators shouldn't allow their law enforcement divisions to use imagery of death to intimidate the public. I'm sure my plea will fall on deaf ears.



* I highly recommend you watch Generation Kill for a rather accurate depiction of how the Marines operate, then compare it with how you'd like domestic law enforcement to behave.

The Agitator - Yet More Professionalism:

"The [Albany Police] department is facing a lawsuit from a man named Tunde Clement, who it should probably be noted does have a long history of drug offenses. But in this particular case, Clement was clean. Sheriff’s deputies confronted Clement as he was departing a bus, took him to the men’s bathroom, and searched him. When they found no drugs, they arrested him for “resisting arrest,” a charge that was later thrown out, given that you can’t arrest someone for “resisting arrest” if they haven’t committed a crime that should have resulted in arrest in the first place.

The police then strip-searched Clement, and made him squat in front of them. The claimed to have seen white powder on his anus So they took him to a hospital. Without his consent, they then administered drugs to sedate him, induced him to vomit, put a camera up his rectum, and took x-rays of him. Such drastic measures against the consent of a patient usually require officials to show some sort of imminent emergency. There was no such emergency with Clement. And still, no drugs. The hospital later sent Clement a bill for $6,800, and diagnosed him as having “hemorrhoids.”"

I think this is further evidence of the attempt to utilize the drug war to dehumanize the less fortunate in society. Lets compare the outrageous story above to the pass that Cindy McCain received when her prescription pain pill use was outed.

TalkLeft - CNN Examines Cindy McCain

But Cindy McCain wasn't just addicted to pain pills. She was investigated federally for stealing pain pills from a medical charity she headed and for having prescriptions filled in the names of the charity's employees. She admitted it. One of the doctors who wrote the prescriptions for her lost his license.

Mrs. McCain, through her lawyers, was able to get federal prosecutors to let her enter a diversion program and avoid jail.

Diversion is common in state courts for first-time offenders. It isn't in federal courts.

I haven't posted in a few days. I had an extremely busy weekend. A child was tasered to death, by a non-lethal taser, but he had weed in his socks and was black so it must have been ok. </sarcasm> Something tells me had this been a white Collierville High school student you may have heard about it by now.

The mayor quit, then unquit, now he might be quitting again. What a narcissist! How much will the special elections cost the city when he gets done making up his mind? Meanwhile the city's infrastructure and schools are falling apart and cops are shooting up bars.

I'm sorry I haven't spoken up about SCSD Sergeant Chris Jones' violent murder of Karaoke Jockey Donald Munsey at Windjammer on Brookhaven Circle. I've taken my wife to the Windjammer several times before. It's always been a clean, safe atmosphere. I never thought my life would end there.

Now a couple of Memphis blogs are starting to speak up about the police needing to police themselves. If there are officers with psychological problems on the MPD or the SCSD then the public needs to know about it. We don't allow people (in theory) to purchase firearms when they have psychological problems. We certainly shouldn't allow them to have badges, too. The public safety depends on it.

I'm not saying that these officers are bad people. I'm saying if they need help then they need a vacation, too. These people certainly shouldn't be working undercover or serving narcotics warrants.

The media has gone strangely silent on this murder. Despite Chris Jones track record ($3.5 million worth) of civil rights abuses and emotional problems, he was on the West Tennessee Violent Crimes and Drug Task Force. I think that every case, bust, conviction Deputy Jones was involved in, where there was a hint of police misconduct, ought to go under review immediately. The Commercial Appeal and the TV outlets are asleep at the wheel. Unless Mike Fleming or Ben Ferguson of AM 600 talked about it last Monday they haven't said a word either.

I met Officer Tate at the old Highland Cue. The guy scared and creeped me out. He gripped my hand so tightly when he shook it I thought I was going to have to try and pull away before it broke. He was a big dog pissing on his territory and everyone knew it. Every officer I talked to said they knew that he was dirty. Hearing about the Chris Jones incident, although I've never met him, was like deja vu all over again. Tate was a K9 officer and I wonder how many dog bites were inflicted out of his sadistic impulses.

It's getting warmer in Memphis. High tomorrow 69 F, cloudy but not as windy as today.
