Is The New Obama Administration Medical Marijuana Policy - Just More Hot Air?

So, the big media talking heads played the fool again - announcing the `big' change in pot policy by the Federal Government. Now, being a 100% skeptic on anything said by our media - let alone being a 200% skeptic on anything the media says the government is doing about marijuana - I thought I'd look at the words used for this policy change.

"And while the policy memo describes a change in priorities away from prosecuting medical marijuana cases, it does not rule out the possibility that the federal government could still prosecute someone whose activities are allowed under state law."....."In particular, the memo urges prosecutors to pursue marijuana cases which involve violence, the illegal use of firearms, selling pot to minors, money laundering or other crimes."..."At the same time, the officials said, the government will still prosecute those who use medical marijuana as a cover for other illegal activity. The memo particularly warns that some suspects may hide old-fashioned drug dealing or other crimes behind a medical marijuana business." ..."The memo, the officials said, emphasizes that prosecutors have wide discretion in choosing which cases to pursue,"

Say what? You call this progress? Is it really possible that all this hype was focused on these words only? ..."it is not a good use of federal manpower to prosecute those who are without a doubt in compliance with state law."

So, in other words - treat the user and the distributor as guilty until proven innocent. And, since WHEN is it EVER a good use of federal manpower to prosecute those who are without a doubt in compliance with state law? AND, THAT IS THE PROGRESS? Oh please.

Sorry pal - seems like a lot of hot air trial balloon to me. One bag of hot air to lull to sleep those that would desire real change. The kind of feel good change you can't believe in.

Criminalizing Everyone

I bring you some quotes from this link - http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/oct/05/criminalizing-everyone/
""You don't need to know. You can't know." That's what Kathy Norris, a 60-year-old grandmother of eight, was told when she tried to ask court officials why, the day before, federal agents had subjected her home to a furious search.
The agents who spent half a day ransacking Mrs. Norris' longtime home in Spring, Texas, answered no questions while they emptied file cabinets, pulled books off shelves, rifled through drawers and closets, and threw the contents on the floor.
The six agents, wearing SWAT gear and carrying weapons, were with - get this- the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service."

"Krister Evertson, another victim of overcriminalization, told Congress, "What I have experienced in these past years is something that should scare you and all Americans." He's right. Evertson, a small-time entrepreneur and inventor, faced two separate federal prosecutions stemming from his work trying to develop clean-energy fuel cells.
The feds prosecuted Mr. Evertson the first time for failing to put a federally mandated sticker on an otherwise lawful UPS package in which he shipped some of his supplies. A jury acquitted him, so the feds brought new charges. This time they claimed he technically had "abandoned" his fuel-cell materials - something he had no intention of doing - while defending himself against the first charges. Mr. Evertson, too, spent almost two years in federal prison"

Our bloated Federal government - is there no end to the stupidity and bloatedness?

The Real Heavy Politics Of American Ufo Disclosure

Hello, welcome to Real Heavy Politics @ Blogspot - thanks for visiting. As some of you may know, I have a blog about UFO Disclosure and even another blog that talks about UFO's with some frequency. So, why would I use my Politics blog to re-hash this on-going issue? Well, because it may indeed by POLITICS that keeps this issue from the American people.

Now, as you may or not be aware - a number of countries have stepped forward in the last year or so and `released' `ufo information'. While many in the UFO camp heralded these moves as progress - a very strange thing also happened (or should I say didn't happen) each time. Indeed, each time a country released these so-called UFO files - NONE of the countries current leaders, such as Presidents - confirmed in any way the current existence or even past existence of `aliens'.

Additionally, almost all the reports had to do, literally, with Yesteryear -- reports that were decades and decades old. And, in all of the countries - other than a day or two - the news media let the matter drop. Indeed, the world media, other than the internet world - was suspiciously silent. Very suspiciously silent IMO. And, I wondered, could that silence be do to political pressure? What aspects of politics could decades old reports endanger?

Well, let me list some for you.

First on the Heavy Politics list would be -- the power of the military and the weakness of `Presidents'. As, for decades, the UFO `problem' has been quietly swept under the rug and out of the reach of `Presidents'. Presidents are to be concerned with the `people' and their `party' - no need to involve them in `esoteric WORLD events' that may or may not be a threat to a nations security. Indeed, most countries like to portray the President as `in charge' of the military and the National security. The ending of that illusion would indeed be `Heavy Politics.'

Next, as surmised by hundreds over the years - IF alien UFO's exist - and have visited or are visiting Earth -- many millions are concerned about the `religious belief structure' already in place and holding great comfort to perhaps Billions of humans. Religion is seen as `freedom' given by our political leaders to believe as we wish about creation, ethics and morals. IF Presidents `confirmed' such releases of UFO information with `certainty' - that could be seen to undermine that vital component of humanity. And, the ending of that illusion would again be `Heavy Politics'. (Politicians USE the religious for votes after all.)

Then, you have the whole issue of `truthfullness' - a characteristic almost all politicians claim to adhere too. And, if it was found that President after President after President - were liars; that too would be viewed as destroying any credibility that they may have left on other issues. And, it would be Heavy Politics for any President to have to travel down the `liar road' very far. Politicians being perceived as liars is not in the interest of politicians.

And, finally, you have what most likely would be the revealing of `secret military budgets' to deal with `the threat' of UFO's as perceived by the military. (Despite the Noble cause of `defending Earth'.) And, those `off budget billions' - citizen tax dollars - would be the final nail in the coffin as far as confidence in the government. Generating potential DISGUST with the political system as a whole.

Which is the reason - that Real Heavy Politics - will not allow real American UFO Disclosure. Indeed, watch the YouTube video below of President Obama about this very issue.
