In a memo issued ''to the DEA, FBI, and US Attorneys around the country'' in charge of carrying out the War on Drugs-TM, the Obama administration basically said (if you read between the lines as I do) that there was nothing wrong with the act of smoking pot in and of itself, but when violence, pushing drugs on minors, money laundering, etc. are also part of the mix, THEN the adjoining act of doing drugs becomes intertwined also in the overall illegal activity...

America's reliance on military strength to solve what it perceives as personal conflicts has meant that other avenues of approach have not been tested enough, for example: the ideological one. A lot of lip-service is paid to ideas that are vague enough such as 'liberty' or 'self-determination' but it is understood that usually is reserved for Americans, aside from what the terms may mean or not mean. As soon as the subject shifts to anyone on the outside, then they are not deserving of the same rights as Americans, by default.

A young (by looking at the photo) looking man that raps in the horrorcore genre is going to be charged for murder simply based on lyrics that he wrote on some songs. You can read the report and watch a video at this location:

I guess there's supposed to be a sleaze-factor to simply reporting this, even if true. But what is more sleazy, reporting it, or the acts described in the story, if true... I mean...

You've heard the news by now that Mexico and Argentina are not supposed to jail people for possession of small quantities of drugs any more. There's even an article at the NarcoNews main page about it (ie: the Mexico story). That may be so, but what are they saying at the same time... that the new policy is only so they can battle the big drug lords even more vehemently than they previously have... That's like Obama saying he wants to pull out of Iraq, but only to move the war over to Afghanistan, nothing more. See what they're doing? The policy is the same as it always has been...

UNASUR: A sinking vessel in South America, due to the military weight of the U.S.

here is a breaking news item one can find, for example:

``WASHINGTON, Aug 27 (Reuters) – U.S. State Department staff have recommended that the ouster of Honduran President Manuel Zelaya be declared a “military coup,” a U.S. official said on Thursday, a step that could cut off as much as $150 million in U.S. funding to the impoverished Central American nation.''

Looks like in order to keep the story of the Honduran Resistance off the news, the leftist-controlled American media (A.K.A. the Mainstream Media or MSM for short, namely CNN, MSNBC, FOX News et al) has assassinated another Kennedy, namely Ted Kennedy; because we know now it has to cover that! ''Nothing else can get on right now. Sorry... It will have to wait. A Kennedy just died, so all attention must be focused on that and nothing else. No other story in the world is worth covering.

``Men and women of all ages were thrown in together and beaten. They were stripped semi-naked, laid face down on the floor, and in many cases beaten. Women prisoners reported being struck repeatedly on the breasts and buttocks''

Unless you've been living under a rock, then you've heard of this huge scandal that B. Hussein-O, I mean Obama, caused by saying that a cop was racist and stupid in arresting a man in his own home who uses a cane. As if that would erase any actions that the professor may have done, such as being belligerent or rude to the police officer. Then later on, Obama tried to take back what he said uttering things like ‘he could have calibrated the words differently' or words to that effect.
