The video of this encounter with a nut-job cop perfectly illustrates why black people are terrified of police encounters. The cop is a textbook example of what I call a “Barney Fife with a Punisher complex”. He’s clearly loves wielding his authority and scaring civilians half to death. And look at the way he holds his gun, like he’s acting out some childhood macho fantasy. Just like Barney Fife, he’s jumpy and defensive, but unlike Fife, there’s murder in his eyes. The driver’s legally-owned rifle is in the back seat, well out of reach of the driver, yet the cop reacts with paranoid alarm, yelling “Gun!” twice. You expect gunfire to ring out immediately, killing the driver. Miraculously, the cop doesn’t shoot anyone, but it came so close to happening.

This is further proof that cops are using lethal force, not in self-defense against an imminent threat, but as punishment for refusing to comply with a ridiculous order. The “I feared for my life” rationale is just an excuse; bullets fly because “contempt of cop” is seen as a capital offense by too many cops charged with protecting the lives they wind up ending.

Jimmy, in hilarious fashion, exposes the corporate media’s role in spreading news of a report that Syria gassed its own people. A report that turned out to be entirely false. Despite its falsity, Trump launched missile strikes against Syrian airbases based on the report.

The miracle of cascading marijuana legalization across the country has led to an awakening of its seemingly endless physical and mental benefits, but something else has happened that has gone too little noticed: the decades of Drug War propaganda instilled in our minds from an early age has quickly vanished. People much older than I am, who were more than likely subjected to the far more militant prohibitionist propaganda than I ever was, are now experimenting with CBD oil, with some even going whole hog and getting their medical marijuana card. The stigma did not linger, despite the billions wasted on Drug War propaganda. In a way it’s even more tragic to think on the countless lives ruined over the decades by the foolish, reckless war on cannabis, now that we see how quickly attitudes have changed. It’s as if one day, people began waking up to realize that, yes, it is just a plant, why support totalitarian diktats against its consumption? A medical revolution is now underway, as more and more people are finding that a relatively inexpensive plant provides far more effective relief that a jar of pills.

And with the decriminalization of magic mushrooms in Denver heralding the dawn of legal psychedelics, we are about to see something truly astonishing in terms of not just medicine, but humanity’s re-connection with substances that are bound so closely with our mental/spiritual capacity.

Oakland may decriminalize ‘magic mushrooms’. What are they, and will California follow?

I no longer feel any impulse to write about the War on Drugs. It’s coming to an end. Everyone now sees the insanity and tragedy it left behind. We feel ashamed that it was allowed to endure for so long, but we’re finally stepping out of that madness and into the light. If there’s any evidence of our ability to truly evolve into something better, it’s marijuana legalization, along with incipient legalization of psychedelics. When we evolve into something more compassionate, more humane, we’ve moved closer to our potential as a species.

We are entering what could be deemed the Psychedelic Renaissance, or Psychedelic Awakening. If the market is allowed to operate unchained, then we’ll see entire industries restructure, with some collapsing entirely. Their stranglehold on shaping public narrative regarding their products will vanish. Children will cease to be given amphetamines for “hyperactivity”, senior citizens will similarly trade Pharma’s addictive pills for marijuana. Veterans, trauma survivors, and people generally looking to feel better or in search of safe stimulation will eschew Pharma’s poison for the myriad mind-healing psychedelics that will be far more available in the coming years, as more and more people come to learn that they are equally as safe as marijuana.

Back in 2017, but explosive nonetheless:

Vaccines are safe and effective? Not the flu vaccine, which routinely garners far more injury reports than any other. The injury in this case being transverse myelitis. The story HERE

Iran is home to the Middle East’s largest Jewish population outside of Israel. The capitol city, Tehran, contains over 30 synagogues, where the Jewish population can worship with no fear of reprisal. These are facts that you will never hear on a corporate news channel, on by any of the avatars of the perpetually pro-war Political Class. The narrative at the moment is that Iran is somehow a mortal threat to “U.S. Interests”, and are the implacable enemy of international Jewry. The narrative is wrong.

Iran’s Jews say they feel safe, respected–and are Iranians at heart

Most people that prattle the loudest about “supporting the troops” won’t be able to tell you the suicide rate among active-duty and veterans. 321 active-duty killed themselves last year, Around 5,000 veterans also killed themselves.  The people that cheer on every new regime-change war that US soldiers are forced to wage can’t even find the location on a map. The idiots so obsessive about saluting the flag, “standing for the Pledge”, and engaging in the most stupefyingly ignorant displays of vulgar patriotism can’t even give a coherent reason for the existence of all the wars our government drags soldiers into. Yet, because they support the troops, they support the wars. This makes sense to their primitive minds. And on days like Memorial Day, this vast class of drones, their minds long ago hijacked by Pentagon propaganda, can worship war, and worship the State, and neglect to acknowledge the reality of not just soldier suicides, but the destruction that these wars have wrought for millions of people all over the world. The minds of these people have no defenses. In order to gain their support for a new war the government need only wrap it in a sufficient number of flags, and use just the right imagery, in order to subvert whatever remaining capacity to think that they retain. Their emotions sufficiently hijacked, they are now malleable puppets and will be directed at command.

The millions of blindly pro-war US citizens are the true reason that so many regime-change wars are fought, and so many soldiers die. If they were smarter, less susceptible to emotional manipulation, they would refuse to go along with every new war. And if they refused to support the war, the war wouldn’t happen. They also wouldn’t engage in meaningless displays of vulgar patriotism, and they would know the number of soldiers blowing their brains out on a yearly basis. They would see it as a real, preventable tragedy created by the mindless act of war. Forcing soldiers to fly overseas to murder people on their own land, or in their own towns and villages makes the soldier not want to live anymore. He can’t live with what he did, so he kills himself. I’ve read PTSD described as a movie of your worst, most horrible memory playing in your mind repeatedly. A memory you can’t escape from. Suicide is seen as their own way out.

If these pot-bellied, flag-saluting, troop-supporting, war-romanticizing pigs actually cared about the troops, they would demand their immediate return of all troops from the myriad theaters of war. They would celebrate the troops here at home, in person, face to face. Once home, they would protect the troops bodily from being sent to another foreign desert to die, or lose their mind in. They would demand that the troops have free access to the only known drugs that help to lift veterans out of the living Hell in their minds. They would tell the troops to throw away the pharmaceutical pills that will only drive them further into insanity, and instead give them MDMA, psilocybin, marijuana, mescaline, DMT, ayahuasca, and other natural psychedelics.

This won’t happen without some fundamental change, a mental awakening on a level that our species does not appear capable of. The wars could end without this change, but only by great effort. And even then, the latent potential of the vast number of people to utterly succumb to the first clever piece of war propaganda will always be there.

To truly support the troops, we should defend them from our own government. We should refuse to allow their lives to be so recklessly thrown away for another war of choice.

In honor of Memorial Day, here is arguably the greatest anti-war song ever written:

“I had a good home and I left. I had a good home and I left. Right. Left.”

Check out this bit of propaganda from 1947, showing the all-knowing First Worlders bringing the benefits of Science to what I’m sure they considered the backwater rubes of the Third World. Unbelievably, the man of Science sprays a bowl of food with DDT, and then eats it, in an attempt to convince the people I’m sure he considers “savages” of its safety. From the looks on their faces, it doesn’t seem to have had the desired effect, as the Africans begin looking at him with the expression that suggests that they now believe him to be a first-rate dumb-ass:

The Africans that were forced to sit and listen to these idiots had it right, their initial gut reaction was that the suspicious clear chemical would poison them.  What I find amazing is the attitude of condescending certainty that the man has while eating DDT.  He is absolutely convinced that he is right. And the Africans sitting there, exasperated, rolling their eyes at these nutjobs who seem to feel an overriding need to convince them of the miracle of the chemical they are ingesting. You couldn’t dream up a better metaphor for the entire history of U.S. intervention in the Third World.

It is amazing how often governments and humanitarian organizations from the First World take their new inventions and attempt to foist them on the populations of the Third World. I’m sure these people have had quite enough of being fed, liberated, and generally talked down to by the arrogant, ignorant rich of the West. Our interventions do nothing but leave their nations in shambles, ruining their economies and replacing their governments with malleable Western puppets.

That’s not hyperbole, which you will realize once you’ve watched this presentation:
