The Propaganda is at hand.

Who has the "best" Propaganda ?
America , Russia and Israel .

Before us we have perfect examples of "propaganda wars" . With the downing of MH -17 , and the ongoing offensive by Israel into Gaza in America , and may elsewhere ( Russia ) both sides are trying to "convince" it's citizens that their governments are not hiding , nor deceiving . Yet in American media , I have picked up a lot of inconsistencies first in regards MH-17. Although CNN , and FOX news have brought out some questions as why the airliner was flying over a war zone , curiously why no red flag was ever issued by the Aviation department warning of the dangers of flying into a dangerous zone is making me wonder . The story presented by Western media outlets blaming Ukrainian separatists and even the Russian government for shooting down the plane were both contradictory and dubious. Now, on the  day after the crash of the flight, more information has emerged regarding the details surrounding what actually brought the flight down. Yet, as is typical in international incidents, the Western press reports simply add more questions to the pile. Referring to the tragic downing of a Malaysian Airlines plane over eastern Ukraine, former Texas congressman Ron Paul warned against jumping to conclusions over the culprits.Drawing parallels between the potential for a Russian-made missile system’s connection to the attack of the passenger jet on Thursday over the restive Donetsk region of Ukraine and the capture of US-made weapons by Islamist insurgents in Iraq, Paul pointed out that the missile’s potential source of manufacture was largely immaterial. Speculation of direct involvement by the Kremlin, whether directly or through “proxies” in the form of pro-Russian militia in Ukraine, in particular seems propagandized, Paul told NewsMax on Friday. Unverified video footage has been circulated as proof of involvement by Ukrainian militia members, though the aircraft's black boxes have yet to be retrieved,First there is not one scintilla of proof Russia gave rebels Buk systems - perhaps they captured one from Ukraine. But Ukraine is known to have them, and have motive to demonize the independence fighters, so they are the obvious prime suspect; and they had the ability to direct the plane's path.

Israel , Gaza and Hamas deception.

Watching the TV reports , and whatever news source . The Propaganda machine to justify the Israeli -Gaza conflict is hard to "fathom" . We've been brain washed in a way , if disagree with Israel striking down Gaza, this must be because your an Anti-Semite , the guilt trip has you in a trap because your friends might think you hate Jews , but you don't . That's how much the guilt ridden propaganda in the west has been fueled . You can't do  anything about the poor Palestinians who are themselves " Semites" , and watching news reports of bodies of dead children piling up in the Gaza ghettos when a Israeli missile comes crashing down in house. Remember our western news media is ONLY SHOWING HAMAS ROCKETS ! There is no defense for Hamas firing rockets into civilian areas, and as sirens wail in Israel, the fear among ordinary Israelis should not be ignored or belittled. But the media coverage hardly reflects the reality: a military superpower armed with F-15 fighter jets, AH-64 Apache helicopters, Delilah missiles, IAI Heron-1 drones and Jericho II missiles (and nuclear bombs, for that matter), versus what David Cameron describes as a "prison camp" firing almost entirely ineffective missiles. Twenty-seven Palestinians are reported to have died in Gaza – and, mercifully, no Israelis have been killed by Hamas rockets – and yet the BBC opts for the Orwellian "Israel under renewed Hamas attack".  For many Americans, it’s just so much easier to accept the lies than to stand up for truth, especially when the lies are so convenient and wrapped in racism and hate.

Malaysian Airlines case of bad luck?

Could be pilot error , flying a plane in a War zone at
low altitude .

" We don't have any "details" as of yet ." said the CNN reporter as the NEWS-ALERT flashed the TV screen , as it appears with all it's murkiness , another Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 went down in another mysterious way . Another news network FOX  reportedly stated that Malaysia Airlines has confirmed that plane "Kuala Lumpur -Amsterdam" went off the radar in Donetsk oblast, possibly shot down" It seems that the State department as of yet was going to call it an "act of terrorism"The Kremlin says Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Barack Obama have discussed the Malaysia Airlines plane incident over eastern Ukraine.The Kremlin website published a statement late Thursday that says “the Russian leader informed the U.S. president of the report from air traffic controllers that the Malaysian plane had crashed on Ukrainian territory, which had arrived immediately before the phone call.”The statement gave no further details about what the leaders discussed with regard to the plane crash. Honestly this news report did not surprise me because I have been saying about the last (4). Malaysia Airlines may have been hijacked , and flown to a discreet location for some sinister reason. I putting another reason also why another Malaysia Airlines vanished  off the radar. . It's OBVIOUS that the Malaysia government is weak  , and the Malaysia Airlines is an easy target for terrorists because they can't keep track of what airline is flying around. Both flights  MH 370 , and MH 17 were connected to Kuala Lumpur. On March 8, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH 370 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing disappeared over the ocean near Asia and has yet to be found. If Malaysia airlines didn't have any bad luck, they'd have no luck at all. (1).  Seems one would think twice before getting on one of their planes...strike three is looming. And yes,  (2). why would a commercial airline fly over a war zone is beyond me....but then we still don't know why a commercial airline would just evaporate out of the sky, do we suspect that the Ukrainian government reportedly has recordings of intercepted calls between Russian intelligence and terrorist discussing the “shoot-down” of a Malaysia Airlines jet, according to CNN.  *** The Russian news agency Interfax says MH17 was shot down. Investigators don't know ,being CLUELESS as the NORM as regarding  Malaysia Airlines, still reeling from the mysterious loss of another Boeing 777 flight in March, said it had lost contact with the flight,  Similarly MH17, over Ukraine but offered no further details immediately. ( 3) . Malaysia’s prime minister, Najib Razak, said in a Twitter post that he was “shocked by reports that an MH plane crashed. We are launching an immediate investigation.” Well like MH 370 The airline, which saw one of its fleet disappear over the Indian Ocean in March, confirmed only that "an incident" had occurred involving the Boeing 777. "Malaysia Airlines has lost contact of MH17  from Amsterdam," read a tweet from the airline. And so again ............................

NOTES AND COMMENTS:

*** Something fishy is going on. Why all the anti-Russian backlash after this incident? Maybe anti-Russian forces carried out this attack and is using it as an excuse to go after Russia? Who were the passengers? Muslim Malaysians? No collateral damage there right? (1). First it was MH-370. Now, it appears tragedy has struck again, this time on Malaysian Airlines flight MH-17, on route from Amsteram to Kuala Lumpur, which disappeared from radar moments ago and was reportedly shot down over Ukraine. (2). Do you know that Putin flew in the same region, on the same height, in the same corridor just half an hour after this tragedy? He was traveling back from Brazil, and his plane looks somewhat the same as the MA one. The question now is - who was the actual aim?  (3)How stupid do you have to be to send a commercial flight over what essentially is a warzone? How much do you think the airline actually saved by taking the most direct route?. (4). If it was the former, then it could be in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan orTajikistan. Strangely the flight path of MH 17 was heading over this region before being shot down . Some coincidence ?

Divide up California Is a good idea.

Breaking up California . Just
might be the best thing.

There is one way to end the years long bureaucracy that has put California over the last decade in financial ruin. This MIGHT be the answer POST JERRY BROWN governance. California can try to split, but the U.S. doesn't have to accept new states. If they wouldn't let SC go their own way, (3).  I doubt they will let California split up. The states have some degree of autonomy, but that's not the same thing as sovereignty. A billionaire of coarse, Venture capitalist Tim Draper wants to dismantle (2).  California and is proposing a ballot measure that  *** would split the state into six pieces, Reuters reports. The resulting six states would be called North California, South California, West California, Central California, Silicon Valley and Jefferson, the last named in recognition of an ongoing attempt by counties in Northern California and southern Oregon to form their own state of the same name. A Twitter account belonging to the nonprofit Six California's tweeted on Monday that "#SixCalifornias will be submitting signatures in Sacramento tomorrow for placement on the November 2016 ballot. Stay tuned for coverage!" On Tuesday, Draper told USA Today the campaign had garnered 1.3 million signatures, well over the approximately 808,000 needed. What it would be like , if this measure got it's vote in 2016 ? Honestly it would be revolutionary , it would dismantle first of all the states centralized bureaucratic system , it brings to mind like the (1).  educational system , the department of corrections , and so on. These "departments" have been on the hit list for years by attempted "reformers" who tried to undo the status quo. Draper and other supporters of the break-up argue that the state's 38 million people would be better served by smaller governments and elected officials who would be able to work more closely with their constituents. Proponents say the division would help create a more business-friendly environment, solve the state’s water issues, and ease traffic congestion.  The RUNDOWN here is that with such a new stricture (s)  it will reduce California's high Taxation , and inflation . Foremost reduce spending , with smaller states , the obvious 190 billion year spending budget could be split up for more equitable use .  Perhaps end the disparity between rich and poor,  nowhere in the U.S. is income inequality as extreme as in California. One in four of its citizens live in poverty. Yet the state has the highest number of ultra-rich people in the country. The state deeply needs the tax revenue from the wealthy to support those who are less well-off. Anything that would improve government efficiency, get back to smaller government, more local control etc etc is opposed by both parties. We should do a similar subdivision of Texas, then keep the portion containing San Antonio and the Democratic areas of Austin, and sell the other five portions to Mexico. Actually forcing an insolvent state to stay whole only benefits the elite. This is actually a very novel way of dealing with this state's inability to remain solvent. Spreading out the load over separate regions would be very useful and allow for partisanship in each of these states to fulfill the task in a meaningful manner. If you can't win an election, redistrict. But that said, no administration in the last 15 years has made even a dent in California's descent into insolvency. It truly is a failed state.

NOTES AND COMMENTS:

*** Secessionist views have long been part of California history, and rivalries have long existed between Northern and Southern California. The economic and political divide between California’s wealthier, coastal regions and inland areas to the east has also been the subject of more recent discussions among academics and economists in the state.A statewide poll by the Field Research Corporation last December, asking about proposals by certain Northern counties to secede, found that only one in four voters backed the idea. Splitting up California would also require U.S. Congressional approval. (1) . And then there are school districts. In the past two years, wealthy neighborhoods in several states have launched campaigns to break away from school districts that include poor communities. This has taken place in Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, Texas, California and Tennessee, and some of the efforts have been successful. (2).  The measure would break up California to include these regions: “Jefferson” to the north; “North California” including the state’s current capital, Sacramento; “Central California” including much of the state’s agricultural valley; “Silicon Valley” including San Francisco, San Jose and much of the central coastline; “West California,” including Los Angeles; and “South California,” including San Diego and much of the sprawling Inland Empire east of Southern California’s coastal cities. (3). Don't start celebrating, once enough signatures are captured the Attorney General of California gets to writes the final description and title on the ballot and this won't make it to the ballot.Back when Jerry Brown was California Attorney General, he sabotaged the 2009 Vote Safe Act (voter ID proposition) by intentionally rewriting the ballot measure and it's definition. When Vote Safe protested his definition and resubmitted a request to re-draft a definition. Brown then submitted a far worse definition and disparaging title then his first. Vote SAFE were stonewalled, and forced to drop the ballot measure even though they captured the signatures. The point is, if the Attorney General's office disagrees with the ballot measure, they will kill it with pettiness like Brown did with Vote SAFE. (4) New states may be admitted by the Congress into this union; but no new states shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state; nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states, or parts of states, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress.

The Insanity of the Israeli Gaza War.

Sinister Monsters are seen above Gaza.

Obviously the Bloodshed by Israel against Gaza must end .  My past blog posting ( TUESDAY, JULY 8, 2014, Israel and Palestine : Conspiracy . ) I gave way to speculation that someone from the "outside" is benefiting from the war. Right now condemning both Israel and Hamas is the best thing on my mind , but ***Israel is killing innocent Palestinians without any self restraint . The Hamas are outgunned , they have no standing army , while the Israelis are pulverizing Gaza without mercy . This must stop , it's absolutely insane what the Israeli government is doing in the manner of revenge.  There is something down right shitty when you look at this volatile region , the last 40 years we have seen blood shed between Arabs and Israelis. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Information’s latest report on civilian casualties, one Palestinian child has been killed by Israel every three days for the last 13 years. From 2000 to 2007 ,about 1,000 Israelis have been killed in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and nearly 6,000 Palestinians have been killed.  Since the recent assault on Gaza under Operation Protective Edge, over 80 Palestinians have been killed, including 22 children and 13 women, plus 469 wounded including 166 children and 85 women, and over 75 houses destroyed — those numbers continue to rise. Hamas’ rockets firing into Israel have killed zero Israeli civilians since the cross fire began last week.  How many people have Hamas rockets killed? ZERO, and How  justifying Israel's genocide and ethnic cleansing of 1.8 million refugees in Gaza because Hamas launched homemade rockets that literally land on the sand beaches and don't kill anyone?  As international calls for a cease-fire ramped up, the Israeli military warned residents of northern Gaza to evacuate "for their own safety" late Saturday night. The most distinguishing thing about Gaza as threat is that it is totally defenseless, but does provide lots of group punishment targets like water and power plants, hospital and schools. Israeli Zionists love to kill people's kids and always have. Israel's rabid Zionist Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman is casually reporting preparations for invading Gaza without so much as a whimper of protest from the US orEurope. The three missing settler teens and the ensuing overkill crackdown against Hamas and the West Bank has produced the desired test marketing result... not a single call for sanctions against Israel. The international community must intervene to stop Israel's campaign of "collective punishment" against Gaza, argues Mustafa Barghouti, a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council. The implication of these statements are that Hamas has forced Israel into launching a full-scale military operation against them, conveniently ignoring the recent crackdown on the West Bank after the disappearance of three Israeli youths, which Israel blamed on Hamas without providing evidence to back its claims,  days of bombing, with a death toll of more than 100's  Palestinians and four Israelis, the gung-ho cabinet ordered a land invasion of Gaza. The consequences of this are incalculable.The Biblical injunction of an eye for an eye is savage enough. 

Bombs away , and innocents lay: 

An Israeli Missile hit the home of a Palestinian woman who was standing there screaming, the veins in her neck seeming about to burst. “What’s happened to you − have all of you gone crazy? Who knows what he had in his house, maybe there were weapons there?” The crowd of curious onlookers gathered around her, and they too were shouting: “She’s absolutely right ... Garbage! Garbage! That’s what you are.”

NOTES AND COMMENTS:

 *** Operation “Protective Edge” – Israel’s latest military offensive to be given a name with nurturing undertones after “My Brother’s Keeper” and “Pillar of Defense” – has already killed at least 43 Palestinians and bombarded more than 400 locations in the Gaza Strip in less than 48 hours.

Israelis and Palestinians Killed September 29, 2000 - Present

Obama, Racism , and weakness.

Racism is a dirty word . Has America outgrown it's past with the election of Barak Obama? The recent article in a A New York city newspaper sparked controversy by publishing apiece criticizing allegedly racism-driven anti-Obama bias among conservative voters headlined ‘The n****r in the White House’. Without the asterisks.Martin Luther King Jr. fought and died so blacks would no longer be viewed as inferior but rather enjoy the same inherent rights given to whites in America.Yet in 2014, 50 years since the passage of the Civil Rights Act,(1) *** they West View News thinks it's appropriate to publish a story about our first black president, WestView News also ran an op-ed by Alvin Hall, an African-American columnist, on the same page with the headline "The Headline Offends Me.""The decision to use the headline feels misguided to me," Hall wrote. "I don't see how its use benefits anyone, but I do feel all too clearly how it deeply offends me."  The use of the N word embarrasses me when ever it pops up , but no escaping it's use toward the President is risky journalism . The can of worms opens. I have to comment that I believe vary much the Mr. Obama was subject to a form of racism from the start , (2).  but it makes him no perfect politician . @ Obama is weak , ( the weakness comes only by observation of the last 5 years )   he has been  wide open to attack from his first day in office. For the Political Right Obama is big  business. The Anti- Obama books have sold billions since 2008 , and FOX news is hooked on daily rantings on Obama. Obama haters have so poisoned politics and national issues with their obvious (and always denied) racism where the President is concerned that it threatens the very existence of this "great experiment" called the United States of America. Here we thought we were so wise and had changed our ways and all it took was electing a black president with a funny sounding name and the hidden hate started oozing out for all the world to see. The Name Obama is African , and also it is a Muslim name , for this part I can see the average white screaming afoul.  It shows a lot about American politics that the general public is willing to take "risks" on whom they chose as their leaders regardless of color and gender . It's shows that that status -quo has been crumbling . From the start I have been worried about Obama , he made too many political enemies ,and he seemed not having a grip on Washington while trying to change ( challenge )  the political landscape , promising too much . The polls don't lie , I am vary skeptic  that there would be a turn around for Obama. According to Gallup, a mere 41 percent of Americans think Barack Obama is respected in the world by his fellow leaders. This, a dramatic decline from 2009, when fresh off of his campaign tour through Europe and perplexing receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize, some 67 percent of Americans thought Obama was respected around the globe. It isn’t Republicans driving this decline. The proportion of Democrats who think that the world does not respect Obama has doubled in just the last year, and nearly six out of ten independents concur.  This also comes a few months after Gallup first found voters saying they no longer view Obama as a “strong and decisive leader.”


NOTES AND COMMENTS:

 (1) ***It is never okay to use the n-word in a headline. It doesn’t matter if the article is pro or anti-Obama. It is disrespectful to the President Of The United States as a man and disrespectful to the office that he has been elected twice to hold. It was not in any way an appropriate headline. In fact, it is headlines such as this that give the people who hate Obama because of the color of his skin something to point to when they get called out for their bigotry. (2). Least qualified President ever? No. He is not even in the top 10. (Nor is Dubya, liberal wing.) Warren Harding, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Ulysses Grant -- the list goes on. Let's face it - we have had some questionable Presidents with very little education over the course of the years while we await the great ones. @ SAYING Obama is weak comes from the fact is that he can't get anything done any more , the GOP has gridlocked the Congress . Jimmy Carter was in the same state before Reagan came into office , but Mr. Obama can't muster peace in the Middle-east , as Jimmy Carter did with  Egypt and Israel .

Israel and Palestine : Conspiracy .

These innocent Israeli teens were wrongfully killed,
but who is to blame for
the surge of
sudden revenge violence?

There are obvious red flags every time I look at the middle-east and see it go up in smoke. Right now as I am composing this , Israeli missile are raining down in Gaza , and the Hamas is launching it's own retaliation in response . The blood of so many innocents on both sides, The Israeli military launched what could be a long-term offensive in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip on Tuesday, striking more than 100 sites and mobilizing troops for a possible ground invasion in what Israel says is an operation aimed at stopping a heavy barrage of rocket attacks.At least 15 Palestinians, including three children, were killed in the attacks from air and sea, Palestinian medical officials said. There is a LOT of STUPIDITY in this long war between the Palestinians and Israelis , it seems each side deserves this sorry out come , each side denies each others right to exist as nations side by side .  I find it very difficult to understand why people cannot live side by side peacefully. I am waving my flag of some kind of 'Conspiracy' that I believe is going on, there is some organization at work that is sitting laughing at this, because they know how stupid both the Israelis and Palestinians are , in FACT I believe that the MYSTERIOUS 'THEY"  want both nations  to annihilate each other . The events that started the "revenge" on both sides is vary obvious for me. The bloodthirsty terror began when  ***The three teens were Naftali Fraenkel (16, from Nof Ayalon), Gilad Shaer (16, from Talmon), and Eyal Yifrah (19, from Elad). Disappeared while walking hitchhiking to their homes.  We ONLY that who ever were the "kidnappers" of these youths were not Hamas or Palestinians , there was a report that I am citing here that  (1).  Tov agrees that the official story of the kidnapping is riddled with holes. The criminals’ car had Jewish license plates, the killers spoke Hebrew, and the police had no valid excuse for writing off the emergency call from one of the victims as a prank and then doing nothing for five hours. Most intriguing of all, Tov writes: “The event contains the mark of a PSYWAR operation. It created a powerful symbol that will not allow the victims to forget.” Either case something strange is going on here , it seems both sides are conducting "revenge killings" , and rioting both sides of Gaza and Tel Aviv . It’s the height of cynicism for Israel to blame anyone but itself (and the kidnappers) for this.  In fact, every time Bibi needs to deflect criticism from a security failure he exploits Palestinians.  This ranges from the Eilat terror attack, for which Sinai Islamists were responsible.  Instead, Bibi blamed a Gaza militant group, launching attacks which killed 30 innocent Gazans.  Now, the Shin Bet’s failure to foil this attack leads to falsely blaming the PA.  Israel can’t send F-16s to bomb the West Bank, as he can Gaza.  But there will be severe repercussions for the civilians of the West Bank.  Collective punishment, illegal under international law, will be the new normal for the next weeks or even months.  Even so , the first to blamed are always HAMAS , or NOW their is much speculation that ISIL terror group is suspected in Israeli media . I think that for the OBVIOUS persons responsible is a NEO- NAZI group that is some how connected to the most recent events .  (2). The NEO- NAZI's would benefit from a war between the Israeli's and Palestinians , for a  stand point  from both sides annihilating each other . It also seems ALSO strange that both sides lack  "moral restraint" and are off to war with more dead bodes strewing the streets of Gaza and Tel Aviv .There also another strange thing about this . President Obama's SILENCE . Since those boys were kidnapped there were over 40 rockets sent from Gaza into Israel. What did Obama say? Nothing! DCCC Chair Israel and Chuck Schumer high ranking "supporters of Israel" allowed this president to maintain his silence. A true friend would express outrage and horror over the murder of three (3).  Jewish children, true supporters of the state of Israel would publicly urge their leader to express his outrage.  Yet the sound of crickets comes from Washington D.C.

NOTES AND COMMENTS:

*** This is simply mind-blowing. For 18 days, thousands of Israeli soldiers searched for the missing boys round the clock, as did numerous civilian volunteers. Mass prayer rallies were held throughout Israel. The kidnapping dominated both politics and the media; even major geopolitical events like the Islamic State’s takeover of swathes of Iraq got second billing. Yet “a great many Palestinians” found it perfectly reasonable to think this was all part of a massive conspiracy–that Israel’s political and military leaders, media outlets, and even the boys’ own families and friends had conspired to virtually shut down the country for weeks for the sole purpose of harassing the Palestinians.  (1). Even before Tov’s revelations, we knew the Israeli teen kidnapping was an obvious false flag. The chief of Mossad, Tamir Pardo, actually called the event a week before it happened, predicting at a cabinet meeting that “three teens will be kidnapped.” (2) . THE NEO_NAZI's , THE ILLUMINATI or whatever secret out fit is bebefiting from this conflict is obvious , they would like to see both sides destroy each other in some kinda armaggeddon. I am worried about the so called INTERNATIOAL BANKERS / Evengelicals who pour billions into supporting Israeli regime , money blinds people to the real truth. (3) We MUST ALSO REMEMBER the many PALESTINIAN CHILDREN who have died as well in the long years of this conflict , every life is precious.  

The END of America's Drug WAR.

 This "fake marijuana" can kill you
if you are not careful.

The day that synthetic marijuana appeared on the national market.  America's drug war came to a crashing end . I have read numerous articles on the new designer drugs that have been encroaching our society , that are now freely available to ***children . While the federal government grapples with "legalization" of "real marijuana" and the so called " Medicinal Marijuana " , just to distinguish it from the fake drugs that are now killing our kids . The synthetic stuff already has been "criminalized" as a scheduled 1 drug . This is an objective lesson to our nation that used prohibition over the years arresting people who grow and use real marijuana . YOU can't control anyone , they will find the way around it . They have already , with new out of the chemistry -alchemy cooked up batches of poisons. These poisons are being sold on the internet , some of them are mixed up with batches of herbs , most of them , or some of the herbs are combined with substances that mimic a real "high" , but with all accounts from the users , that some of the side effects mimic those of  (1). Jimsonweed . The issue with legalization of marijuana has been a vary long subject over the years , on this post I am going to put my thoughts on it later. The fake drugs have been Mixed by chemists in labs, mostly in Asia, synthetics are chemical compounds designed to mimic the effects of naturally occurring drugs like marijuana and cocaine while staying just inside the law. Because the newest compounds don’t yet appear on state and federal lists of illegal drugs, the sellers can market them as legal. As soon as authorities add a compound to the prohibited list, the chemists tweak the formula—ever so slightly—to make a new substance that purports to be legal. New research from the Colorado School of Medicine highlights the dangers of using synthetic marijuana, marketed under such brands as “Spice” or “K2.” The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, reports that in the late summer of 2013, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment was informed of an exceptionally sizable increase in the number of ER visits related to synthetic pot in the Denver metropolitan area.Specifically, between August 21 and September 19 of last year, 263 individuals who had consumed synthetic weed were admitted to emergency rooms, all suffering from similar symptoms including altered mental states, irregular heartbeats and seizures. Roughly ten percent of those cases were sent to intensive care for ventilator-assisted breathing. (2). Why are people going for the fake stuff , it's obvious that People turn to synthetic marijuana because of it being legal , afraid of prosecution, most business owners and "Bosses" will fire you for it because it is Illegal. 

Marijuana legalization issues.

Marijuana as far away as California and Colorado, there’s growing anxiety that history is about to repeat itself. It's more likely that Cannabis  will be legal , and it will be sold much like alcohol in the next decade . I don't foresee it coming no later than 2020. I don't advocate it's use , for one our American society is full of drugs that already have screwed up our society , take for instance Oxycontin (Oxycodone HCl), or anything "approved" by the FDA. The old tale is the government only wants to feed you its OWN  proscribed drugs , rather than something that you can grow like (3).  Nicotine (tobacco) which is sold over the market , and it's just as dangerous and addictive.  Well its' coming An overwhelming majority of Americans believe that the legalization of marijuana is inevitable.  a half-dozen other states—Nevada, Arizona, and California among them—where advocates are looking toward 2016, when they hope the presidential election will turn out enough liberals to push those efforts across the finish line. All told, more than 1 in 5 Americans live in states where marijuana use has a legitimate chance to become legal between now and when President Obama leaves office. I don't think OUR nation is ready for any kind of legalization , we know much about the effects of alcohol use , what worries me is that the  (4) THC in marijuana is much higher in plants grown more than a century ago . The dangers of THC and alcohol use is known . Polydrug use is using more than one drug at the same time. People use drugs in combination to either increase their intoxication, or to increase the effect of the first drug taken. Sometimes people mix two drugs because they are already intoxicated and are no longer making rational decisions about their drug-taking and the wellbeing of themselves and those around them. The more drugs being used at the same time, the more likely it becomes that things will go wrong. MEANWHILE the Colorado experiment will have to scrutinized , if all hell breaks loose most likely the FEDS will  BE over that state in 2016 , in the long run think about this Even The President of the United States has used marijuana. Has it hurt his chances at succeeding in life? If he had gotten caught by the police during his college years, he may have very well still been in prison today! Beyond that, he would then be fortunate to even be able to find a minimum wage job that would consider hiring him with a permanent criminal record.Let's end this hypocrisy now! 

NOTES AND COMMENTS:

***  Sold openly in stores, popular with kids and unpredictably dangerous, synthetic pot is just around the corner. (1). Jimsonweed .   is a tall herb plant. Jimsonweed poisoning occurs when someone sucks the juice or eats the seeds from this plant. You can also be poisoned by drinking tea made from the leaves, or by Smoking . Some people use it as a recreational drug to cause hallucinations and a heightened sense of well-being (euphoria). (2). This is probably an urban legend, but I like to tell it anyway...Heard about this in college... A man was arrested for selling mj. He contested his arrest because he was selling grass. he would mow his yard, dry the clippings, bag it and sell it on campus. Students thought the product was great. Thus the police involvement. Since he was not selling anything illegal, the police tried to get him on false advertisement. But he never said anything other than he "had grass for sale." (3).
