Drug War Criminal: Karen Tandy

"Today's DEA arrest of Marc Scott Emery, publisher of Cannabis Culture magazine, and the founder of a marijuana legalization group, is a significant blow not only to the marijuana trafficking trade in the U.S. and Canada, but also to the marijuana legalization movement.... Drug legalization lobbyists now have one less pot of money to rely on." --Former DEA administrator Karen Tandy

She should be in prison, not Emery.

Tandy and her entire organization should be arrested for kidnapping and given due process, speedy trials, and public hangings.

Everytime I read that comment I get so incredibly frustrated with my(US) government. Political speech is one of the few things that our supreme court routinely protects, yet here is a DEA official expressly saying that they took on Marc due to his views and activities. Ok, granted there is a little gray area there because he actually did break the law, but for fucks sake if they went after him because of his activism the entire thing should have been thrown out. Proving that is what happened would of course be impossible.

Bush's born again BS is at the root of this increased "war on drugs". My father, once told me, in about 1945, "when a man tells you he is a christan, grab your pocket book, and run like hell. If he proves he is a christan, you can leave your pocket book with him and it will draw interest". Over the past 65 years. I have never found this to be wrong. Today in America, religion has been used to concentrate power, and discriminate against anyone they percieve as the enemy or as different. I live in the "bible belt" now. And I have never heard such hateful language, they hate the President, they hate anyone who disagrees with them. I'm sure we are paying a huge amout every year to hold political prisoners. And that is exactly what drug war arrests, are. This country is held prisoner by the right wingnutz. Too bad America.

I can't decide if Canada's Harper is just an obedient sniveling lapdog coward a bit more than Biraq Obomba is gung ho on Imperialism. Harper never busted Marc and could be considered an assessory with full knowledge. Waldo Pee had no problem snatching Americans out of their hospital beds in Canada, no resistance. Now another "example" another family traumatized. More Tax dollars spent caging political prisoners of WoD. This time taking a sovereign citizen out of his native country for no real crime, just to stop a fund raiser and contributor to those against the Ganjawar. Pet shops buy cannabis seeds everyday in the US. McCaffrey tried to bust 17 truckloads and was told hands off. Now Marc faces 5yrs". Knowing it all continues on Nixon's lie and does real harm to real people. In this illogical process of "setting examples". What is the message kids?

We’re number one again!

Yes, the United States leads the world once again, and I’m sure when they go up to the podium to accept their award, the first one thanked will be the War on Drugs.

That’s right — the latest worldwide incarceration figures are out.

The United States has the highest prison population
rate in the world, 756 per 100,000 of the national
population [...]

Almost three fifths of countries (59%) have rates below
150 per 100,000. [...]

More than 9.8 million people are held in penal
institutions throughout the world, mostly as pre-trial
detainees (remand prisoners) or as sentenced prisoners.
Almost half of these are in the United States (2.29m),
Russia (0.89m) or China (1.57m sentenced prisoners). [...]

Prison populations are growing in many parts of the
world. Updated information on countries included in
previous editions of the World Prison Population List
shows that prison populations have risen in 71% of
these countries.

Check out the numbers…

Hey its a frickin business selling a Ganjawar.
What's all the mystery?

$25k x 2,293,157 = $57,328,925,000.00 taxable profits.

"Narcotics police are an enormous, corrupt international bureaucracy ... and now fund a coterie of researchers who provide them with 'scientific support' ... fanatics who distort the legitimate research of others...

The anti-marijuana campaign is a cancerous tissue of lies, undermining law enforcement, aggravating the drug problem, depriving the sick of needed help, and suckering well-intentioned conservatives and countless frightened parents."

~William F. Buckley,
Commentary in The National Review, April 29, 1983, p. 495

Lies Our Drug Warriors Told Us

Booze Prohibition was just a business, selling oil, same as Iraq, no bid contracts for teabog ditti corporations, same corporations perpetuating the Ganjawar. Same business tactics to rid them of competition. $300,000,000.00 in Hemp products sold last year, not grown by family farmers, Indians or Mexicans instead of freaking out Texacans and Lou Dobbs. Just business, and the business of gullibles arguing over hobgoblins perpetuating it. ConPromises on flat out lies. Sheep appeasing their political dictates.

Selling the poor to private cages bringing more taxes than minimum wages. Its a frickin job, don't ask, just do what your told and keep it going. Then elected lobbyist cowards mouthfart teabog ditties into paying for it. Jerking off their plastic flags made in Thailand slave labor camps. Kids breathing toxins while their teabog parents cheer on Monsanto acid raining it down upon them. Or spraying poisons on cotton, aborting bible belt babies and what do the brainiacs thimktankers debate, future soothsayings, ms cleo blabberings of how to control what isn't even real?

Can't state the facts that 98% of the pot eradications in the US are wild unkept ditchweed. Non psychoactive burlap and yet lets ConPromise 215 with a SB420, cause the stupid fucking cops carrying loaded weapons keep getting confused, and then cry for exactness and teabog tie wraps to make some of the action. Cowards and Traitors locking up neighbors your proud DARE graduate turned in, while peeping in their bedroom windows. Be proud teabog dittie drug worriers.

Sending your jobs off on NAFTA gravy trains. Textiles shut down, Monsanto frankencotton killing India without our insolence. Could process Hemp in the same teabog states. Or for car parts in Detroit, Hemp wood in Orleans. Nutritional supplements in the grease and lardburgers. Same buyers clubs for adults if not for the politikan and self appointed moralist "believers" Dressed in chemical smells, botox smiles, suit and tie bubblegum. 200 sects of Christians blaming the other ones, no accountability, in the real time real world at least. Or Moose and Legionaries, Elks and Masons asleep at the wheel. looking for uniforms with name tags and rank. Blind allegiance to B movie actors pisstasting their kids out of college tuition.

While the suits steal the tax funds and the corporate media points to the poor and the Hippies to blame. How many join them and say they want Freedom? Say they want to end the wars and yet still buy from the same DEAth Merchants. Hypocrites aren't exclusive of GOPerverts and DNCrats. Both sides make a Ganjawar happen and both sides profit arguing over red herrings and semantics while true Patriots rot in cages. The Ganjawar is over... Go Home!

Same ole shit different teabog ditties!

Henry Ford originally made his cars to run on ethanol, so farmers could create their own fuel. (He saw farmers really as his customers originally, since nearly all of us were farmers. Along comes John D. Rockefeller, who wants people to use oil. He provides money to the anti-alcohol movement in order to make Prohibition a reality, and stop the ethanol fuel industry and promote the use of fossil fuels.

Morality is always the product of terror;

Christian Extremism and Terrorism In History

Bush's Born-Again Drug War
Religion has also been the theme of several new high-profile anti-drug campaigns launched by the administration. In 2003, just months after being tapped by Bush to head the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Karen Tandy threw her weight behind a grassroots anti-drug campaign called "Pray for the Children." The group's website maintains that, "The power of prayer is unequaled" in influencing adolescents from refraining from drug use. Regarding her endorsement of the program, Tandy explained, "Drug abuse is a scourge that attacks a person's soul as well as body, so it's fitting that the solution should engage the soul as well.

Canada's Supremes Cower Under DEAth Threats 12/24/03
Canada's Supreme Court has proven that our society is a prison, and that we are but prisoners, whose inalienable rights may be suppressed by political whimsy and ridiculous twists of reasoning more suitable to a genie granting wishes than judges appointed to uphold humane standards.

Ganjawar: Prison Slave Labor, Rape & Pillage Deterrent
At the same time, the United States blasts China for the the use of prison slave labor, engaging in the same practice itself. Prison labor is a pot of gold. No strikes, union organizing, health benefits, unemployment insurance or workers' compensation to pay. As if exploiting the labor of prison inmates was not bad enough, it is legal in the United States to use slave labor. The 13th Amendment of the Constitution states that "neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted shall exist within the United States."

'Relax Your Muscles as Much as Possible'

What's life like in our prisons for those marijuana convicts? Let's steel our nerves and go visit the Web site www.spr.org, where the Los Angeles outfit "Stop Prisoner Rape" has posted the little plain-talking handbill it has prepared for young men entering our prison system, titled "For Prisoners: Advice on Avoiding HIV/AIDS."

The group's handout -- targeted primarily at heterosexual men who have no desire to ever be involved in homosexual activity -- advises:

"HIV/AIDS transmission during a sexual assault is a serious concern. The following are practical tips for reducing your risk. ...

"If you have a choice, try to avoid men who used needles for drugs in the past or are still doing so. ... The more often you are raped, the more exposed you will be, so especially try to avoid anal gang-bangs. The most dangerous situation of all is if your anus is bleeding, for that allows easy entry of the virus into your bloodstream. So try to use a lubricant or grease or cream if you can to minimize injury to your delicate internal body parts, avoid anal gang-bangs, and if you must endure forced anal penetration, try to relax your muscles as much as possible. These tactics are not 'cooperating' or consenting, they are just common-sense measures to try to save your life.

"In many situations you are better off agreeing to do something (masturbating, oral sex, sex with a condom) rather than just resisting until you are overwhelmed and forced to deal with unprotected anal sex from one or many guys. You may feel you should resist to the end, but that would put your life in danger. There is no shame in doing what you have to do to survive; nothing changes the fact that rape is involved and you are not morally or legally responsible for it; these compromises are just pathways to your survival. It may even be to your advantage to develop skills in oral sex so that guys you have to deal with will be satisfied with that alone. Don't feel guilty about it; you're just trying to save your life...."

Feeling pretty comfortable now with what the legal system is doing to these 77,000 nonviolent pot-smokers in your name? (And those are just the ones who end up doing hard time, mind you. Remember, 646,000 were arrested in 2000. Do you suppose most of them had a nice, restful night in jail? Do you realize, if their families spent a few thousand dollars apiece on legal fees, that adds up to more than a billion dollars, and taxpayer costs for lost police time are several times that?)

Still going to tell me that treating them in this manner is just the way you show your "compassion" as you seek to "protect them from the health risks" of lighting up a joint, not to mention "sending the right message to the children"?

Feel the Hate: Right Wingers Duping Teabaggers

"We should resist the temptation to identify
our religious convictions with the platform of a party
or the platitudes of favored politicians. I want to be invisible.
I do guerrilla warfare. I paint my face and travel at night.
You don't know it's over until you're in a body bag.""

Political Police means Police State.

Political Police steal ALL our rights. Political Police intimidate citizens from participating in public debate thus subverting our very democracies.

Who can say the DEA is not political ? Why do the elected politicians not speak up about the Political Police ? Well its because like here in Canada, they are aligned with them.

In Canada, the RCMP are a Political Organization. They are not Police anymore. However they still have Police powers to intimidate us all.

And what is worst is people believe what their authorities tell them. So when the RCMP run around telling all their falsehoods, misinformation and propaganda, the people believe them. It is an appalling situation.

The whole issue here shows how political the police are in both the USA and Canada. In Canada, our Political Police had to go above the Canadian criminal justice system by ignoring Canadian law which is the Police job to enforce in Canada.

The bottom line is you cannot have Police being Political in a democracy.

Anti-Police

thats fine RCMP, as long as the RCMP follow all laws, constitution and the privacy act. A police state = more missing persons, cover ups and radiations oxided, and no cop will ever intimidate me, we all do what we have to do and the police are not on my mind if I commit a crime. Do the police even know what policing is?

This thing above at birth was a human experiment for the American government. She was in power ONLY TO MURDER SOUTH AMERICANS. The way the government works is that they feel that only South Americans kill south Americans, Italians kill Italians so remember the murderer is probably your own. You look at her and she professionalisim. Her, is a Jew. The Jews have been murdering South Americans for 1000 years. In March of 1480 or so the Argentinian government throw all Jewish people out of their country because of depleted uranium that caused hostilities, back then their are no testing but only cannabis. Cannabis is the only detector of radiations.
