Ignoring the Big Donkey in the Room
A couple weeks ago, Mitch Jesserich, the host of Letters & Politics, a Pacifica radio show, had author Paul Dickson as a guest. Dickson is an historical non-fiction author and was discussing the 1932 presidential election between incumbent Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt (FRR). On the show, the author mentioned that during the election FDR espoused more [...]
MOCK TRIAL
To listen to the TV pundits or read news accounts of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s “trial”, you would think that he is some kind of nut. He’s violent, cunning, ruthless and dangerous, because he’s not nuts. The U.S. is producing a mock trial. All the rights of defendants guaranteed by the Constitution are being denied in [...]
Richard Lee, Oaksterdam and the Feds – HAPPY 420!
Probably everybody who is reading this blog has seen the Kony 2012 video that went viral, amassing 28 million hits in its first day. When we say “viral”, we think of something spreading instantaneously over a wide swath of demographics. However, some things spread more like cancers. They don’t necessarily infect a large swath of people, [...]
A Simple Message to Obama About the Oaksterdam Raids and My Friend Richard Lee
On Monday, April 2, Oaksterdam University in Oakland was raided by over 100 DEA, IRS, and US Marshals. Oaksterdam provides training to the medical cannabis industry, and is fully compliant with state and local law. I’m asking for your help now in letting President Obama know that the public does not approve of this show of [...]
DECEIVED BY THE DEVIL
Every parent’s hope is to have a healthy, happy baby. And no matter how much parents would love a child who has a serious chronic or genetic disease, they hope their baby would not have one of those problems. These children through no guilt of their own create havoc in families, disrupt the lives of [...]
The Republican Circus
Last night Rick Santorum swept elections in the states of Colorado, Missouri and Minnesota. This only made only one thing clear: Republicans don’t want to elect Newt Gingrich or Mitt Romney President. The voter turnout was low in all three states, indicating that the party base is generally unenthused about the primaries. But I think [...]
Ron Paul’s Importance
President Eisenhower warned of the perniciousness of the “military-industrial complex” in 1961. Since that time the U.S. has become steadily more belligerent. There hasn’t been a day our lives that the U.S. hasn’t been engaged in active military action. In fact, there hasn’t been a day since the government was formed in 1789 that the [...]
True Patriotism
You’ll see that I’m full of ideas this week, here’s another one. The one solution to the U.S.’s economic woes that everyone in government turns a blind eye to is a cutback on our biggest expenditure– preparing for war and then warring other countries. Perhaps we need an indirect route to becoming a peace-loving country. [...]
THESE PEOPLE NEED DRUGS!!
I took a few hours from my extremely busy schedule of getting high, playing racquetball, and putting the final touches on a few new books Marijuana Pest & Disease Control and Medical Marijuana 101 (pre-order both now!) the other day to watch the bizarre shit show that was the Republican Presidential Debate on CNN. Oh [...]
OBAMA (KIND OF) INVITES ME TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT
It’s obvious that Obama hates his job and wants to get his ass handed to him by Mitt Romney in 2012. Only a politician who wanted to lose his next election would shoot himself in the foot as many times as he has. Let’s go over just how badly this man wants to get out of [...]
