			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Continuing on with why the game is rigged, I went from hemp to cannabis and checked out the two major components.  THC or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/THC">Tetrahydrocannabinol</a> (which I have explained before how we have receptors to process) is the main one, and then there is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabidiol">Cannabidiol </a>which can be up to 40% of the plant.</p>
<p>Now get this.  Cannabidiol has been studied by many research groups and this is what they have found:</p>
<p>It appears to relieve:</p>
<ul>
<li>convulsion</li>
<li>inflammation</li>
<li>anxiety</li>
<li>nausea</li>
</ul>
<p>And it appears to <strong>inhibit cancer cell growth</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>HELLO!?  Appears to INHIBIT CANCER CELL GROWTH!!</strong></p>
<p>Why aren&#8217;t they researching this shit more?  Further top this they also say that it reduces growth of aggressive human breast cancer cells in vitro (in a test tube) and reduces their invasiveness.  Thus it represents the first non toxic chemical that can make tumours less aggressive!  You&#8217;d think this would be big news right?  Wrong.  Did you know <a href="http://blogs.salon.com/0002762/stories/2003/12/22/whyIsMarijuanaIllegal.html">&#8220;Reefer makes darkies think they&#8217;re as good as white men.&#8221;</a>?  Can&#8217;t be having that now!</p>
<p>It is also a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroprotective">neuroprotective</a> antioxidant, which means it can stop neurons in the nervous system dying or being damaged after a brain injury or or as a result of chronic neurodegenerative diseases.</p>
<p>Thankfully Canada now has a product called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sativex">Sativex</a> which is cannabidiol and THC in a mouth spray to treat multiple sclerosis.</p>
<p>And even though the <a href="http://www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov/">United States Office of National Drug Control Policy</a> still says that <a href="http://www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov/publications/amer_know_marij/myths.pdf">marijuana can cause Schizophrenia</a>, initial research shows that cannabidiol has an effect in <strong>reducing</strong> schizophrenic symptoms in patients.</p>
<p>Plus they have found the receptor for this chemical, called the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPR55">GPR-55</a>, common all over the brain, especially the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellum">cerebellum</a>.  They want to call it CB3 (Cannabinoid receptor 3), already having <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabinoid_receptor_1">CB1</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabinoid_receptor_2">CB2</a>.  But there is another possible candidate for CB3 that has been found in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocampus">hippocampus</a>.  So thats 4 cannabinoid receptors found in our bodies now, 3 of which are in the brain.  Anyone tend to think we are supposed to consume this drug, cannabis?</p>
<p>So you have this chemical, cannabidiol, it has the potential to stop nausea, inflammation, Schizophrenia, neuron death/damage, anxiety, convulsion and the aggresiveness of breast cancer.  There are no psychoactive effects and no known abuse potential and guess what..?</p>
<p>It is a Schedule 1 drug under United States law.</p>
<p>This hints to me population control.  The game is rigged people.  Enjoy your cancer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OK so first post for the new year, guess what it is?  It should be my trip to Pakiri the other day but I found something way more interesting.</p>
<p>I was looking through wikipedia as I do and I was looking at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemp">hemp production</a> (the non-drug type of cannabis).  In 1916 it was found that 1 acre of hemp can <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemp#Fiber">produce as much pulp</a> for making paper as 4.7 acres of wood over a 20 year cycle.  Also to break down the fibres 1/4 the amount of sulfur-based acid chemicals are needed for hemp (or none with soda ash).  Also Chlorine bleach is not needed to bleach the paper, instead hydrogen peroxide can be used.</p>
<p>There are more environmentally friendly ways now but wood paper pulp production is still the <strong>second highest</strong> CO2 producing industry.</p>
<p>Did you know they use hemp fibre to strengthen concrete?  Yeah, its called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hempcrete">Hempcrete</a> among other names and acts as an insulator and moisture regulator.  Plus it is lighter, less brittle and doesn&#8217;t need expansion joints.</p>
<p>Some other random facts from the wiki article:</p>
<ul>
<li>It is reported to produce 250% more fiber than cotton and 600% more fiber than flax when grown on the same land.</li>
<li>Hemp seed oil is reported to have anti-inflammatory properties.</li>
<li>Hemp seeds contain all the essential amino acids and essential fatty acids necessary to maintain healthy human life.</li>
<li>Mercedes-Benz uses a &#8220;biocomposite&#8221; composed principally of hemp fiber for the manufacture of interior panels in some of its automobiles.</li>
<li>
It is sometimes used in the manufacture of oil-based paints, in creams as a moisturising agent, for cooking, and in plastics.</li>
<li>
Biofuels such as biodiesel and alcohol fuel can be made from the oils in hemp seeds and stalks, and the fermentation of the plant as a whole, respectively &#8211; and it is reported to produce more energy per acre per year than corn, sugar, flax, or any other crop currently grown for ethanol or biodiesel</li>
<li>Every industialized country in the world, <strong>excluding the United States</strong>, produces industrial hemp including Australia, Austria, Canada, China, Great Britain, France, Russia and Spain (although Canada only grows hemp for seed and oil, not fiber).</li>
<li><a href="http://www.hempplastic.com/">Hemp Plastic</a> is a new technology based on 20-100% hemp fiber-based plastics that can be molded or injection molded. Demand for fiber-reinforced composites and other natural plastics could become more popular as oil prices rise and environmental awareness increases.</li>
<li>It is used for non-dairy milk somewhat similar to soy and nut milks, and for non-dairy hemp &#8220;ice cream.&#8221;</li>
<li>Hempseed is an adequate source of calcium and iron. Iron deficiency is the leading nutrient deficiency world wide.</li>
</ul>
<p>So as you can see, hemp has a lot of applications, that are better for the environment, and sometime of much better quality and quantity.</p>
<p>The problem is, hemp is grouped under marijuana and is condemned thanks to people and companies who had various interests in competing industries.  Such as forestry (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Randolf_Hearst">William Randolf Hearst</a>), nylon (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuPont">Dupont</a>), and cotton plus competing industries to all mentioned above.  Then there was the intense racism (which was suitable for this time ~1930) by Hearst, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_J._Anslinger">Harry J. Anslinger</a>, the first head of the Narcotics Bureau in the US.  And finally the misrepresentation of the cannabis drug (which hemp is grouped under).</p>
<p>The game is rigged.  Companies just want money and more money so they are gonna try and keep this stuff down.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, anyone seen that report that came out today?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/dec/03/terrorism-nuclear-biological-obama-white-house">US report predicts nuclear or biological attack by 2013</a></p>
<p>What a load of SHIT!</p>
<p><strong>First tip-off:</strong> &#8220;US report predicts&#8221;</p>
<p>What, is the US Govt some kind of global authority on terrorism now?  So what, they got attacked, so did lots of other places.  They fucked up Iraq, they fucked up Afghanistan, they fucked up catching Bin Laden (if you even believe he was the one responsible).  This is just another mass scaremongering technique to terrorize the public into complacency &#8211; cos when the public is scared, they&#8217;re easy to control &#8211; its called the Shock Doctrine, or Distaster Capitalism.</p>
<p><strong>Second tip-off:</strong> &#8220;The six-month inquiry singles out Pakistan as one of the likeliest sources of such an attack&#8221;</p>
<p>O RLY?  How convenient.  The country that &#8220;Al Qeida&#8221; (if they are even real) are hiding in, and slip in and out of Afghanistan from.  Throw into that the fact that the terrorists that attacked Mumbai are conveniently from Pakistan (not CIA agents in a CIA orchestrated operation to make Pakistan look like a terrorist haven so they can invade?).  The US Govt has their eye on Pakistan, they would love to invade, but why?  See below&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Third tip-off:</strong> &#8220;President George Bush welcomed the report&#8221;</p>
<p>Of course he did.  If they can invade pakistan, Bush and his cronies can <strong>a)</strong> make a shitload of money on war munitions (Boeing, Lockheed, Defense Contractors), rebuilding (Halliburton, Carlyle), hired mercenaries (Blackwater) just like they did in Iraq, <strong>b)</strong> gain control of the countries State-owned enterprises and resources.  Such as (YOU GUESSED IT!) <strong>OIL!</strong>.  Pakistan is a modest producer of oil and we all know the US is oil hungry.  The state-owned Oil and Gas Development Corporation (OGDC) that produces a lot of Pakistans oil could be up for grabs, as could Pakistan Petroleum Ltd. (PPL), which produces most of the countries natural gas.</p>
<p>I bet they already tried to corrupt and bribe the president of Pakistan into selling their companies and resources to US companies but he said no, so now they&#8217;re going to go in there to take them by force.</p>
<p><strong>Fourth tip-off:</strong> &#8220;The target could be the US or some other part of the world.&#8221; &#8220;a biological or nuclear attack within the next five years was not inevitable&#8221;</p>
<p>These sentences are slightly confusing, and non-defining.  They don&#8217;t want to set anything in stone.  First they says &#8220;predicts nuclear or biological attack by 2013&#8243; then says that it&#8217;s not inevitable.  So if inevitable means it is definitely going to happen, that statement means it is definitely not going to happen.</p>
<p>I just hope the US Govt doesn&#8217;t decide to invade and fuck up Pakistan like they did Afghanistan and Iraq.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So here&#8217;s a story for you.</p>
<p>A good friend of mine is the occasional cannabis smoker.  However he is also an asthmatic.  He said that if he&#8217;s had a joint recently and he goes to the doctors to get a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_flow_meter">peak flow meter</a> reading, he gets a higher reading than if he hadn&#8217;t been smoking.</p>
<p>His doctor, a respected (and christian) practitioner, upon seeing the reading fluctuations asked, &#8220;Are you a cannabis smoker?&#8221;.  He said &#8220;No,&#8221; and the doctor told him that the cannabis smoke actually helps the lungs expand more, and also that the resin can be coughed out.  Unlike the residue from cigarettes, which the lungs absorb.</p>
<p>My friend went on to say that went he was busted with cannabis at school, his mum said to his laywer, &#8220;But, I didn&#8217;t think [my son] would be able to smoke cannabis because of his asthma?&#8221; to which the laywer replied &#8220;Well, actually, the cannabis can help it.&#8221;</p>
<p>I think this again points to the fact that cannabis needs to be researched, as it holds a lot of uses.  But because it can be grown by anyone in the back yard, the pharmacuetical companies won&#8217;t produce it because of the lack of revenue when people realise they can make their own remedies with it.</p>
<p>Governments won&#8217;t subsidise it because they don&#8217;t want to fluctuate in their normal &#8220;dangerous drugs&#8221; scams.  And what does it all come back to?</p>
<p>Money.</p>
<p>This is the perfect example, an effective, safe, natural way to treat multiple ailments, but because it cannot be easily monitarily harnessed, no one wants to invest time in it.</p>
<p>Cannabis is not a dangerous drug.  It is simply a victim of Capitalism.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve read a story about how cannabis <a href="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/category/story.cfm?c_id=30&#038;objectid=10518236">tops the list of illicit drugs sending people to hospital</a> (see also: <a href="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/1/story.cfm?c_id=1&#038;objectid=10517995">this</a> and the <a href="http://blogs.nzherald.co.nz/blog/your-views/2008/6/24/war-drugs-worth-fighting/?c_id=1501154">public veiws on that</a>).</p>
<p><strong>Cannabis use is causing more admissions to publicly-funded hospitals than all of the other illegal drugs combined, a police drugs specialist has found.</strong></p>
<p>373,310 people (83% percent of whom don&#8217;t use regularly) use cannabis, 143,280 people (51% of whom don&#8217;t use regularly) use drugs other than cannabis.  So thats under half (38%) the amount of that people use drugs other than cannabis.</p>
<p><em>More cannabis user than any other illegal drugs combined = more cannabis-related admissions that any other drug combined.</em></p>
<p><span id="more-62"></span></p>
<p><strong>Police are not yet revealing full details of the findings in a new report by National Drug Intelligence Bureau strategic drug analyst Les Maxwell.</strong></p>
<p>Yea, they don&#8217;t want us to know all the number or else they&#8217;ll look like fools.</p>
<p><strong>Details of the report, titled: New Cannabis: The Cornerstone of Illicit Drug Harm in New Zealand, follow yesterday&#8217;s release of a Drug Harm Index which found New Zealand&#8217;s drug use cost $1.3 billion in 2005 and 2006.</strong></p>
<p>Keep in mind the drug harm index is just something <a href="http://www.berl.co.nz/content/aboutberl/landing.aspx">these guys</a> <a href="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/category/story.cfm?c_id=30&#038;objectid=10517892">made up</a>, what looks like the day before the full report came out.  </p>
<p><em>The Drug Harm Index is not an international standard.</em></p>
<p><strong>Parts of the report released to the Herald last night show there were between 2205 and 2512 cannabis-related admissions to publicly-funded hospitals between 2001 and 2005.</strong></p>
<p>Seems like this is manipulated to make it look worse than it is. Shouldn&#8217;t it be figures per annum?</p>
<p>628 Admissions a year. About two a day.<br />
2 people out of 373,310 (83% percent of whom don&#8217;t use regularly, remember?) in the country will visit each day.  At that rate it would take 594 years for all those people to visit the hospital.<br />
Considering they visit in this lifetime, and with life expectancy at 75 thats 46875 (12.5%)  of cannabis users that will visit the hospital in this lifetime.<br />
At approx <a href="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/feature/story.cfm?c_id=605&#038;objectid=10517995">$2949</a> each visit that is $1.85m a year for 2512 people ($1.37m at the lower figure quoted, 2205).</p>
<p>What are people doing to themselves on marijuana that is needing for them to go to the hospital let alone have $2949 worth of care spent on them?  Is it a really fancy hospital in Remuera?</p>
<p>I have never known or heard of anyone getting hurt while on marijuana.</p>
<p><em>This has to be made up</em></p>
<p><strong>Hospital admissions relating to all other illicit drugs, including P, ecstasy, cocaine and heroin, ranged from between fewer than 1500 to 2000 during the same period.</strong></p>
<p>But your other report said that 2292 patients were admitted?  So if cannabis-related visits are between 2205 and 2512 where did all those other patients come from?  Which figure is it?</p>
<p><em>1500 to 2000 people admitted for other drugs is over half of the amount of 2205 people admitted for marijuana-related problems.  When cannabis is used over twice as much as the other drugs.</em></p>
<p><strong>Officers at the NDIB were last night remaining tight-lipped on why cannabis featured heavily in admission statistics. But the Drug Harm Index shows cannabis is the most widely used illegal drug in the country, with 373,310 users &#8211; well above the next most popular drug, amphetamines, with 95,170 users.</strong></p>
<p><em>Tight lipped because there are no patients because you can&#8217;t hurt yourself while on cannabis.</em></p>
<p><strong>The reasons for hospital admissions due to cannabis use include mental illness, psychosis and accidents.</strong></p>
<p>I thought they were being tight-lipped?  Mental Illness?  Marijuana cannot affect the brain that way.  Psychosis?  That would have to be a lot of weed, and you&#8217;d still have to be awake, and able to talk.</p>
<p><strong>The drug harm index was designed by economists to help police and other agencies decide where drugs do the most harm and enable them to use resources more efficiently. Police spokesman Jon Neilson said police already had intelligence which helped them focus on the drugs which caused harm but the index was another tool to assist that.</strong></p>
<p>Designed by Economists.  More tools to help focus on the drugs that cause harm, good.  </p>
<p><em>What about the drugs that don&#8217;t cause harm.  What about all the people that don&#8217;t cause harm while on these drugs (87.5% of cannabis population never need hospital care for instance).</em></p>
<p><strong>National Drug Intelligence Bureau co-ordinator Stuart Mills said while police have known the street value of drugs seized in the past, they have never known the social impact of removing it from society.</strong></p>
<p>Social impact?  </p>
<p><em>Like raising the blackmarket prices, causing it to be even more expensive to get a fix, digging users a deeper grave than they are already in.  Pulling more addicted girls into prositution for instance.</em></p>
<p><strong>A big advantage of the index was that police would now be able to not only give the street cost after a big raid or seizure, but also say what the social savings were.</strong></p>
<p><em>Uh, pretty much just the same as the last paragraph.</em></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;We have never had anything to say what are we achieving &#8230; I suppose this is giving us a measure.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><em>How many more sisters,mothers,daughters,granddaughters,girlfriends are now crackwhores than before the operation.</em></p>
<p><strong>That kind of information could also be helpful for appealing for funds in future police budgets.</p>
<p>&#8220;If I wanted to ensure I got my fair share of the budget within police and I had to proof what I was going to achieve in various operations, then that&#8217;s a very helpful tool.&#8221;<br />
</strong></p>
<p><em>Ok more funds, great, but put them in the right place.</em></p>
<p><strong>Mr Mills said the index illustrated to the community the wider social impacts.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are not just talking about the drug harm to someone else. The use of illicit drugs within the community is affecting all of the community &#8230; we have seen the impact in various stories of violent crime and addiction.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Have you ever seen anyone on ecstasy commit a violent crime?  No.  Usually because they are too busy stroking themselves, other people, and anything textured.  How about just marijuana?  These drugs are not addictive.</p>
<p><em>P, Cocaine, heroin and alcohol are addictive drugs that cause violence (including domestic violence) and other crimes.</em></p>
<p><strong>Meanwhile, Associate Health Minister Jim Anderton said while illegal drugs cost society, the harm was dwarfed by that caused by legal drugs alcohol and tobacco.</strong></p>
<p><em>Finally someone in the Ministry says something about legal drugs.</em></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;If you ask the police, or medical authorities, about the times they are called in to crises, or to accidents, to clean up human harm they will tell you that alcohol is almost invariably involved.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Anderton said tobacco caused about 4700 deaths each year, and the social cost of alcohol misuse was $1.5 billion to $2.4 billion a year.</strong></p>
<p>Cost of drugs misuse was $1.3 billion a year.  480 <a href="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/feature/story.cfm?c_id=605&#038;objectid=10517995">drug-related deaths</a> a year (including road accidents and homicides, keeping in mind marijuana overdose is scientifically unreachable).  Each death costing $106,000 a person thats $508.8 million dollars a year for drugs.  $4.98 billion for year for alcohol.</p>
<p>Approx<a href="http://www.stats.govt.nz/store/2006/05/fatal-injury-statistics-oct05-hotp.htm">1,659 deaths resulting from injury</a> each year (2002).</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;If any other drug caused that number of deaths, there would be rioting in the streets. So why do we make alcohol legal, when it causes much more damage than any other drug? Why can we buy tobacco, a killer drug, at the corner dairy?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Why do we make alcohol legal, when it causes much, much more damage than all illegal drug related deaths put together.</p>
<p>So I hope that opens your eyes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, I dunno if its new or not, but I&#8217;ve never heard it said before even though I&#8217;ve watched the last two Loose Change movies.</p>
<p>Anyway, the guy is talking about it being a planned demolition and shows some stock footage of the some dude cutting into a steel girder with a gas axe (diagonally).  The voice says that this is to weaken the steel so that the centre columns of the building will come down with it.</p>
<p>The next thing it cuts to this photo of a steel girder at ground zero after the collapse and there&#8217;s a freaking DIAGONAL CUT IN THE GIRDER but nothing left above.  I was like HOLY SHIT!!!  I&#8217;ve wondered how the huge central steel column box on the tower didn&#8217;t stay standing.  Because the official report said each floor pancaked onto the next one until they all hit the ground.  If that happened the central steel columns should still be standing right?  Thats why.</p>
<p>Some pics that kind of show it are:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://cgig.uscg.mil/media/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&#038;g2_itemId=77631&#038;g2_serialNumber=2">Maybe the ones between the man and the diggers</a></li>
<li><a href="http://911.yweb.sk/galleries/nasekana-ocel/co-ostalo-zblizka/01MVC-004F.JPG" rel="lightbox[45]">Right middle sun is shining right on one</a></li>
<li><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_PcI9awojNLQ/RhU16dctBFI/AAAAAAAAAEs/Rnv-uCMyqTo/s400/colonne_tagliate.jpg" rel="lightbox[45]">Middle</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Just look for cut steel girders, they&#8217;ll be like a rectangle like you cut a box in half and are looking inside.  Also, notice how badly damaged the buildings around it are from fire and trade centres falling on them and they aren&#8217;t collapsed..?</p>
<p>Yeah weird.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I watched the movie <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeitgeist%2C_the_Movie">Zeitgeist</a> the other night.  This documentary about religion and the attacks on the twin towers, war profiteering.</p>
<p>Anyway it was basically saying that all the Christianic, Judaic, and Islamic religions all come from the same religion.  I already heard from my old boss that Islam and Christianity used to be side by side, I guess I know what he meant now.  Anyway, they are all copied off a myth about the Sun, and 12 apostles, which we now call the Zodiac (star signs anyone).  This was the myth in 3000BC Egypt, and it went something like this:</p>
<p>Ages ago there was the Sun and it was called the gods sun called Ra.  Every day and every Ra and Set (the dark) would fight.  Every morning Ra would win, every evening Set would win.  So was the eternal battle of light versus dark (like the theme in the bible).  Any there were 12 somethings, Scorpio, Virgo etc, like the 12 Apostles.  But yeah, you&#8217;ll have to watch it to get the full breakdown.  Or you could <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zodiac">wiki zodiac</a> and cross reference the main themes/situations with other religions.</p>
