This morning, the epicenter of the California’s medical cannabis and cannabis legalization movement, Oaksterdam University, was raided by Federal agents, with the aid of the Oakland Police Department, on order from the Department of Justice with the full endorsement of the Obama Administration. For those of you that aren’t familiar with Oaksterdam, it is the Oakland based university founded by Richard Lee, the chief proponent and financier of 2010’s Prop 19, that teaches adults about cannabis and how to grow it successfully. On top of teaching students great horticulture skills, the university also taught their students about the medical cannabis laws, the history behind cannabis prohibition and how to acts as effective advocates for drug policy reform. Real threats to public safety, right? As flawed as Prop 19 was, Richard Lee and Oaksterdam University did set the stage for cannabis legalization and medical cannabis initiatives to blossom across the country. This coming fall election, the people of Washington and Colorado will be deciding whether or not to thumb their noses at the Federal government and legalize the use of cannabis for social use by adults.
And because of this movement towards repealing cannabis prohibition, the Obama Administration has now deemed Richard Lee and Oaksterdam University public enemy #1. While your tax dollars were being used to take care of these public safety “threats” at Oaksterdam today, a crazed person at a private Christian college in the same town had decided that fellow students were better suited for target practice with a firearm than as study buddies. (http://www.mercurynews.com/news/ci_20308252/police-respond-shooting-east-oakland?source=rss). As tragic as the murders at this small college are, it illustrates the huge disconnect of lawmakers and law enforcement on who the bigger threats are to public safety. With the majority of public opinion trending towards legalization and calling the War on (some) Drugs a failure, why do our a majority of elected officials from the Democratic and Republican parties keep funding billions of dollars into maintaining these Draconian laws? Laws that have not curbed drug use among youths but instead has:
1) increased our adult and youth prison population, a good percentage of them non-violent “offenders”, making the United States the #1 nation in incarcerating people (WE’RE #1…USA! USA!)
2) increased drug cartel violence in our inner cities and our southern border towns such as El Paso/Juarez
3) lead to a great number of overdose deaths because people aren’t empowered to act as “Good Samaritans” due to fear of prosecution from law enforcement
And the list can go on and on with “social justice” issues like the ravaging of our environment, the erosion of our civil liberties, the curbing of safe access to medication, et al.
In 2008, then Sen. Barack Obama had pledged, if elected President, not to use Federal resources to harass medical cannabis dispensaries in states where medical cannabis is legal, including California. With this raid and umpteenth broken promise (I quit counting after his refusal to lead efforts to repeal the USA PATRIOT Act), he has definitely been the WORST president when it came to drug policy. Even Assemblymember Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco) said this about Obama on his Facebook status today:
“Shame on the Obama Administration, the Department of Justice and U.S. Attorney Haag for escalating this war on medical marijuana. Let’s be clear – Obama has been far worse than Clinton and George W. Bush ever were with their policies regarding marijuana. My disappointment in this Administration has shifted now to anger for this inexplicable crackdown.
Prop. 215 is the law in California and we need to defend it.”
Where were the rest of the Obamapologists and Democrats on this Federal encroachment on laws that were passed by the people of this state? The crickets and Porky Pig like stuttering justifying their support for this “leader” were evident and in full force today. The Republicans are worse? Really? I don’t know how worse it can get with another four years of Obama, a President that has exceeded the Bush Administration in their violation of medical cannabis patients’ rights, and listening to the endless justification of support as more civil liberties stripping legislation like NDAA is signed into law and the escalation of these raids in places where medical cannabis is legal. At least some Republicans that I know have been honest in their support for the War on Drugs and I know where they stand.
Unfortunately, I can’t say the same thing about other Democrats in this state and county (with the exception of Mark Leno) who speak with forked tongues on this issue or what the Ojibwa elders refer to as “Maaaaaa.” Or worse, take credit for bringing this issue to the forefront discounting the work of hard working grassroots activists that were stumping for this issue for many years (in my case, 25 and counting) before it was “cool.” Obama and his blind, intellectually deficient, lock step supporters/apologists embody the meaning of “Maaaaaa” to its fullest when it comes to this issue. Use cannabis activists to pad their voter rolls and throw them under the bus, like they did with Cindy Sheehan, when they achieve their ultimate goal of achieving power. Keep in mind that it was a huge grassroots effort by Prop 19 supporters and activists that helped Attorney General Kamala Harris defeat Steve Cooley in 2010. And where was Kamala Harris voice today? Another example of what my Ojibwa brothers and sisters call “Maaaaaa.” (Got Google? Look it up yourself, zhagnaash!)
And don’t get me started on the silence of the Orange County “progressive” Christian community who acts like this issue does not exist in the realm of “social justice” that they speak about from the pulpit with flowery, emotionally charged rhetoric. They are worse than “Maaaaaa.” The “Zhaagnaash” in the OC progressive Christian community speaks of “zaghidiwin” in their rhetoric but their obvious silence on this issue is aiding and abetting in “niboowin” of their own people and children. As a person of faith who attends a noted “progressive” Christian church in Orange County, I find this silence from the clergy and members of these “progressive” faith communities disturbing and troubling. Especially since Pat Robertson, a man who would never be mistaken for a progressive Christian, came out and endorsed the upcoming cannabis legalization initiatives in Washington and Colorado. It is pretty sad when Pat Robertson is more forward thinking than certain local “progressive” clergy who claim the mantle of “open and affirming.”
So much for “Change You Can Believe In.” Speaking of which, here’s an example of that “change” brought to you by Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Is this now Bush’s fault? Judge for yourself.
And a final image to put in your pipe and smoke if the War on Drugs doesn’t disturb you:
You can call me an “Obamapologist” in that I still plan to support the President — one look at the Supreme Court and one look at Mitt Romney give all the motivation I need for that — but I agree with Tom Ammiano about the Obama Administration’s anti-marijuana, anti-Prop 215 campaign. It’s beyond disappointing — it’s tragic and perverse. I will continue to take whatever opportunities I can within the Democratic Party to oppose it and reverse it.
If that’s “silence,” it’s pretty loud silence. Unfortunately, despite the importance of this issue, it’s one issue among many, so it doesn’t conclusively determine my vote. We have to choose among alternatives — and there’s no better alternative with a chance to win. It’s not political maturity or spiritual advancement not to care about that. Dems need to work on changing these policies — and we can do it from within.
Such cowardly nonsense, two wrongs do not make a right, Obama is a horrible president, he lied to the people, he spent our treasury, he has not done one thing to earn re-election. He is as smarmy as a politician can be. Choosing between alternatives and winning what? It was the Demoncratic administration of F.D.R. who started all this, there is no alternative, Demoncrat or Republican, makes no difference, they all lie, all of them. Every time a candidate speaks he/she should be hooked to a polygraph, then perhaps we might get a little truth, only then.
Yes indeed. Cowardly nonsense. Since Diamond decided to bring the legitimate concerns of my people into the arena, the gloves are now off. By supporting Obama, he and other so called “advocates” are no better than the traitorous Indians who helped the US Calvary impose the US Government policy of eminent domain on my people and other indigenous tribes.
So what have you really won by supporting a candidate who has shown disdain for the rights of other people? Any more Orwellian type slogans or catchphrases you want to throw my way?
Wait a minute! That’s not “deep” enough for you.
Well, you obviously ignored Greg’s point about the war on drugs being just one issue among many. Fine.
Oh, and Obama is not responsible for California student vs prisoner spending.
Anon. Just like a typical zhagnaash maaaaaa, you come home to your own to roost and aid and abet your ally in the endorsement of trivializing of my people’s concerns and. I figure as much.
I never said Obama was responsible. I was using the graphic to illustrate a point. Oh wait a minute. I’m not as “deep” thinking as you zhagnaash maaaaaa so my illustration didn’t satisfy your faux intellectualism.
Please show me where I trivialized your concerns. Placing those concerns within a larger context does not trivialize them. That conclusion isn’t even logical.
Your endorsement of Diamond’s words and your inability (silence) to call him out on using an unnecessary reference to my activism for Native American (Indian) rights was enough to show me your true character. What the hell does my activism for Native American rights have to do with my activism for cannabis legalization? I don’t appreciate having my people thrown into the mix.
But like any typical zhagnaash, you’ll defend him to your niboowin.
Please show me where I defended his reference to your Native American activism. That comment happened AFTER this exchange with you. Are you really telling us that you expect people to come back here and engage you on a specific debate you’re having with someone else? Really?
Well, then now you’re just being ridiculous.
Here’s what it has to do with it, Guy: I was about to call you a single-issue activist, but then I realized that I should really call you a double-issue activist. You’re twice as good as a single-issue activist.
The problem with being a double-issue activist is that it’s possible that those two constituencies will someday conflict on an important issue and you will have to choose which to support — aka compromise. Luckily, as you note, they don’t have much to do with each other, so you’re probably safe and will not need to crawl under a rock anytime soon.
Now imagine, if you can think deeply enough, that there are 1000 issues or more that you care about. You’re going to run into conflicts all of the time. And you’ll have to figure out how to resolve them — which a lot of the time is going to mean political compromise.
You can go write the Crow Nation and Fort Peck Indian Reservation to ask why they endorse Obama, if you’re interested. Right now a lot of Native Americans are pissed off at him because of another issue that I care about — his recent speech saying nice things about the Keystone XL pipeline, which I oppose. So we’re probably on the same side of that issue too — even though without an NDN angle it’s not clear that you’d give a damn about it.
“Now imagine, if you can think deeply enough, that there are 1000 issues or more that you care about. You’re going to run into conflicts all of the time. And you’ll have to figure out how to resolve them — which a lot of the time is going to mean political compromise.”……… Hmmmmm
WRONG!
Free spirited sovereign person can handle infinitely more than 1000 issues without any compromise and conflict because the sovereignty comes from the creator and the creation is never in the conflict.
Since you are a Jew who does not believe in the creator and sovereignty your life is in a perpetual state of a conflict for at least 5000 years.
That part at the end impressively anti-Semitic even for you, Stanislaw. It’s also impressive blather before then. Keep on showing us what you’re made of. Guy Fawkes needs to understand his new ally.
Yes, indeed. And will Mr. Fawkes come back and call Stan out on his anti-semitism, in the way he’s asking other people to come back and take Diamond on regarding his Native American comment?
If it satisfies your curiousity, I didn’t bring the Jews into it. Diamond brought my people into this.
As for Fiala, I can’t speak for him. I don’t take him seriously,
you are such disgusting idiot it is unbelievable.
Fawkes and I are bonded by way of free spirit you moron mongoloid.
Something you cant grasp!
LOL. Well Stan seems to think you take him seriously.
You obviously don’t know me that well. Think outside of the realm and don’t take yourself too seriously.
Think Andy Kaufman
Onan!
Based on the old testament Jews are still waiting for their Messiah.
The Gentiles found Jesus!
So where is the Antisemitism you fool!
Educate yourself moron mongoloid.
“Well Stan seems to think you take him seriously.”…….. Hmmmmm
He does, however, he suffers from the Wounded Knee syndrome as in Stockholm Syndrome.
Been to both places and am fully aware of the Keystone issue. But once again you make assumptions about my character, knowledge and my “quality” of activism with your condescending and elitist tone. Your almost as worse as Chmielewski, except for the stalker part. I seriously doubt you’ve been to either reservation.
Take some responsibility for once in your life, Diamond. You dragged my Indian activism into this. No wonder your wife left you.
“No wonder your wife left you”……… Hmmmmm
Which one #5?
Oddly, you’re right. My divorce a decade ago was the result of my criticizing the quality of your Indian activism. It didn’t make a lot of sense to me then, but now it does.
If only you were a three-issue activist I could have mentions a possible conflict between supporting marijuana legalization and the other issue and left Indian rights out of it. There’s a lesson there for all of us.
No your elitist and condescending tone and your conscious and cowardly decision to drag my involvement in other issues is intolerable, zhagnaash maaaaaa.
Glad to know you find Ojibwa a “funny” language
No, I found you telling me to do a search for a definition in which your own writing here was the only result to be funny, shmendrik.
How about Ron Paul? You aren’t looking very far if you don’t see how his “END THE FED/ End The DEA” platform will eliminate the need for scarce resources being spread too thin and allowing unlawful attacks on state legal facilities. Obama IS Hitler!
Do you mean the Ron Paul who is coming in last among candidates allowed at Republican debates? The guy who has been cozying up to Romney? I thought that Paul had a lot more support than he turned out to have — but I can read the election returns. Can you?
His platform won’t do a thing because he’ll never come close to being elected.
Thanks to the Jewish lobby which wants Ron Poul dead due to his stand on the Iran’s right to develop its “A” bomb.
Ah, the old “Republicans are worse” to defend the evils that men do. Predictable and so unoriginal, zhaagnash maaaaaa.
So how has “working from within” worked for you so far? Obviously not well since I can’t seem to find anything in your party’s platform or rhetoric that resembles respecting cannabis patients rights, much less drug policy reform and repeal of cannabis prohibition. And where was Attorney General Kamala Harris when she promised to defend state law against the Feds? If I remember correctly, it was a huge grassroots effort by groups like NORML, MPP and Americans for Safe Access that got her elected to power over Steve Cooley (aka the “Not Cooley” campaign).
Do keep in mind that it was your party that drafted and passed a lot of this Federal prohibitionist legislation without much of a fight from the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act to the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. I’ll be more than happy to provide you with the makeup of both houses of Congress, but I think it will result in more endless and pointless justification on your part to apologize for the party that you maintain ties with. Sorry, heard it all before zhagnaash maaaaaa. And why should I trust you or your zhagnaash maaaaaa Democrats now when the rhetoric and actions don’t match? What justification or weak rationalization are you going to give us? The same broken promises? Sorry, experienced that before for many moon and you best be careful zhagnaash maaaaaa before you dismiss my concerns.
Instead, like any zhagnaash maaaaaa, you will continue to defend evil by wearing it like a badge of honor. Yeah, your not as bad as the other guy. Well, at least “the other guy” is honest enough not to claim to have a common political interest.
How has “working from without” worked for you so far? You make it seem like there’s a really easy solution — but there isn’t. Like many other advocates of medical marijuana legalization and broader reform within the party, I’m shocked and depressed by how far the Obama Admin has gone in the anti-drug war, even against its promises. There’s clearly a deeper story to be told here of how and why this has happened. But the likes of you, showing up with all condemnation and no viable plan, doesn’t really help. (Well, it helps stroke your ego to be able to say that other people are wrong, but it doesn’t really help solve the problem. Nor does depicting the parties by their positions in 1937 or even 1970, when the realignment of the South from the Democratic into the Republican Party had not yet occurred.)
Life is easy for someone with just one or two political issues to flog. So long as marijuana legalization advocates don’t end up fighting with Native American rights advocates, you never have to think deeply about anything. But there are more than one or two political issues in the world — and those of us who are also concerned about climate change, staving off war in Iran, opposing the war on women, and thousands of other issues can’t just say “well, Obama screwed up on this one issue, so to hell with him.” It’s a shame that you make politics so easy on yourself rather than taking on an actual challenge.
So are you inferring, by lumping my people’s LEGIMITATE concerns and grievances into your hyperbolic argument that we Indians are incapable of deep thoughts? How elitist of you! No wonder we have trust issues with you zhagnaash. Since you are running for political office, excuse me while I place a call my Ojibwa and Lakota brothers at the AIM offices in Minneapolis and let them know what you really think of my people. Better yet, I’ll send them the link of this post. I’m sure Bob Huff will be more than happy to send AIM a thank you card when he gets re-elected in November.
Remind me not to hire you as an attorney since you are so apt to disclose private communications between us. I can see from your actions, your inability to keep private conversations private and racial overtones about us Indians why I cannot trust you. Your signature calling yourself a State Senate candidate was a huge turn off. You would have won more points with me if
1) you addressed me at a peer level instead of placing yourself in an elitist fashion by advertising your candidacy with me.
2) You would have used the word “please” and not address me as a petulant child which you zhagnaas are so apt to do with us non-zhagnaash.
But that must not be “deep” enough for you.
Jesus Christ, GF. You can take this:
“So long as marijuana legalization advocates don’t end up fighting with Native American rights advocates, you never have to think deeply about anything.”
And twist it to mean “Native Americans can’t think deeply”? And then repeat that and repeat that to try to make yourself and other people believe that’s what Greg said?
You gotta chill, brother.
Not until he apologizes for throwing my people in the mix.
“So are you inferring, by lumping my people’s LEGIMITATE concerns and grievances into your hyperbolic argument that we Indians are incapable of deep thoughts?”……… Hmmmmmm
I guess you and your people have to convert to Judaism Fawkes so you can call Diamond anti-Semitic.
The Jews are only protected race on this planet.
BTW I am on the warpath against people – GF this time – who uses “infer” when he should be using “imply” – just because infer sounds smarter.
If that subtext actually existed (which it didn’t) then it was something Diamond IMPLIED. GF definitely INFERRED it from Diamond’s writing.
They’ve tried to convert us at gunpoint.
By the way, ever read Russell Means’ book “Where White Men Fear to Tread”? I think you’d love it, Stan.
I identified one NDN — you — who limits himself to two issues so that he never has to think deeply about political conflicts among issues he supports. That’s not “throwing your people into the mix,” that’s pointing out something wrong about you. I expect that AIM activists are plenty “deep thinking” enough to get the difference.
Tell you what, maybe I’ll write to them myself and ask. Now how should I explain that you use a British Catholic as your blogging handle?
Brilliant. I’m taking vocabulary lessons from someone who wasn’t intelligent enough to avoid prison for driving an automobile under the influence of alcohol. How did those vocabulary lessons work for you with the judge?
How’s sobriety treating you these days?
Unnecessary roughness. Fifteen yards. (You and I had offsetting penalties previously.)
Good grief. What an asshole.
You can now spare us the labeling of other people as elitist and condescending.
No anon, I pointed out a fact (aka the truth) which is Kryptonite to the zhagnaash maaaaaa like yourselves. Don’t like it when its done to people you are attracted to, do you?
Yeah, and I just pointed out a fact as well.
No, calling me an asshole is your opinion. A fact would me bringing up the court records if you really want me to go there.
Vern, you should have never used the term “war path” with a Native.
Whatever. I was born here, I am a native American. Everybody, use “imply” when in doubt.
Looks like it’s starting to sink into your crazy impulsive head that nobody insulted your PEOPLE. The manly thing would be to admit that you over-reacted.
“Communications between us” implies that they went in both directions. I didn’t even know if you received my e-mail. I mentioned my candidacy — which I would have thought you already knew — because it gives me a platform to discuss these issues. Specifically, I wanted to be able to promote them at public meetings I didn’t say “please” because when I’m on the same side of an issue as someone and I’m just asking for a status update on a initiative we both favor I didn’t think that it was necessary. (Well, according to Paul Lucas, that should be “favored,” if indeed RMLW has been withdrawn. That’s a shame.)
Your ravings on your first paragraph would be psychotic if I thought that you believed a word of them. No, I do not make any allegation towards any NDNs’ thinking abilities except yours. You seem to like to keep your politics really simple: Indian Rights and marijuana. So long as those interests don’t conflict, you don’t have to think about a single conflict, the way that those of us who care about very many issues continually do. It’s very convenient for you, but it’s a chickenshit approach to politics. Happily, there are Indian activists who are deep thinkers and much better activists.
“Indian Rights and marijuana. So long as those interests don’t conflict, you don’t have to think about a single conflict, the way that those of us who care about very many issues continually do.”……… Hmmmmm
Essentially Diamond just stated that Indians are inferior to Jews!
I can think of no more fitting punishment for GF for his actons here than to have to be in political alliance with you, Stanislaw.
Oh, now I am a chickenshit and less of a quality activist because I care passionately about two issues? I’m so relieved to know that my activism needs to pass the Greg Diamond test before I can be considered “legitimate” and “caring.” You were the one that brought my people into this but refuse to take any accountability for your poor choice of words. Thanks for trivializing my concerns and my activism. But I’m sure like any zhagnaash maaaaaa, you’ll take full credit.
What do you mean by “us”, Diamond? Who is this “us” that you speak of? Keep digging yourself into a hole. You were the one that broke confidentiality of e-mail communications and then got all in a huff when someone called your beloved leader and party on their BS on this issue. Not me, zhagnaash maaaaaa. Just because I didn’t respond to your email, which was very elitist in tone. You could have chosen a a better way to phrase your request, but you chose not to address me at a peer level, nor said please. And you call me psychotic? Judging from your previous diatribes on other posts, it takes one to know one. Which is the exact reason why I DO NOT trust you or members of your party who hlove to speak in condescending tones but cry like petulant children when they are called out on their behavior. You made the decision to choose these words, not me.
But I guess there must have been some “deep thought” and “quality” behind that which I must not be able to comprehend accoridng your your “assessment” of me. Wow, how elitist of you. No wonder I don’t trust aspiring politicians much less Democrats.
“Confidentiality of e-mail communications?” I sent you an e-mail and you didn’t respond. For all I knew, you filter me into your trash folder. This is one weird oversensitivity you have there.
What did I mean by “us”? The first time, “you and me.” The second time, “those who care about many issues” (that is, more than two.)
No, you are a chickenshit because you avoid situations that might force you to have to think about compromising on something that you care about. Caring passionately about two issue is good; caring about 200 and 2000 is better — so long as there’s a need for that, and there is — but it does mean that your political life gets more complicated.
By the way, claiming that an attack your your personal deficiencies is an attack on your entire people (something that is sometimes called hiding behind women and children) is beyond chickenshit — it’s positively Fialaesque. He pulls that stunt all of the time.
No, you were the chicken shit when you decided to lump my activism for Native Americans into this. Your elitism and condescending attitude is a huge turnoff and has always been with me. I bet you couldn’t resist from using it because deep down inside your knew your zhagnaash maaaaaa fellows would come to your aid because you make yourself to be oh so perfect on every topic. On top of that, you broke confidentiality by disclosing email communications which I reserve the right to respond. I didn’t care for the elitist tone and your inability to treat me as an equal peer showed me your true character.
How about your personal deficiencies, Diamond? Seems like I’ve pointed them out about you and your party on this issue, but then you brought my Indian activism into it.
You know. It’s best to be passionate about a few things than to act as a know it all on everything. If that is intellectually deficient in your eyes, then it’s not surprising to know that your wife is no longer with you.
GF, your Indian activist is not a “deficiency” about you. Along with your cannabis activist, it’s one of the two things that makes you at all tolerable.
My wife is at work. She’ll be back within a few hours.
I am sorry, because after all you are one of God’s living creatures, that I upset you by mentioning that I had send you an e-mail without a reply — something that doesn’t strike me as breaching confidentiality, especially with a non-client. I noted it as a fact, not an indictment.
I also regret that you think that my mentioning your Native American activism — about which I’ll take your word, since swearing at people in Ojibwe is not actually “activism,” but I’ll presume that you also do some more serious and useful work — in any way maligns you or NDN people generally. I consider it one of your good points. I don’t understand how you can honestly turn it into an insult, but maybe someone else here (not you, Fiala) an explain that to me.
Sadly, I still think that you’re a chickenshit, for reasons already expressed. But it’s time for me to go back to work, so have fun while I’m gone. And maybe you can pick up some of those CCHHI petitions from Paul Lucas to circulate — if that’s not too elitist and condescending for me to suggest.
Those weren’t swear words, zhagnaash maaaaa.
I’m several steps ahead of you on that game. Don’t make assumptions about me or my commitment. It’s called not putting too many things on one plate.
Mabye you zhagnaash maaaaaa could learn a little bit about working with less.
You know what, Guy? That’s a fair criticism. The world needs both activists with a narrow focus and with a wide focus. I generally don’t criticize those with a narrow focus — except when they start condemning the inevitable compromises that come with taking a wide focus. And that is exactly what you did.
If you’re in touch with the Herrer people, then good for you. Honestly.
“By the way, claiming that an attack your your personal deficiencies is an attack on your entire people (something that is sometimes called hiding behind women and children) is beyond chickenshit — it’s positively Fialaesque. He pulls that stunt all of the time.”…… Hmmmmm
I am not hiding behind 6M Jewish women and children pogrom by ceiling every one anti-Semitic.
You even do not know in which country the Auschwitz was you idiot!
I’ve been in touch with Jack’s people for a long time and am very knowledgeable about this issue. I don’t seek to protect any proverbial sacred cows.
How exactly am I maligning my people with my Indian activism? Obviously, you make another assinine assumption about me. Remember, you brought it up.
Keep digging, Diamond,
I often get into arguments with my fellow Jews because I’m relatively unlikely to call things anti-Semitic. You, though — you’re old school. No doubt about it.
Oświęcim is in Poland, but when the Germans invaded they imposed their version of the name.
That’s great. I vaguely recall you’re saying here a few months ago that CCHHI didn’t have a chance and that RMLW was a lock to make it — that’s just from memory — so I’m glad that you decided to help out after all, if that’s what you’re saying.
Any time someone from group X — could be ethnic, occupational, religious, whatever — claims that an attack on them for their failings is necessarily an attack on their whole group, they’re using that status to protect their own failings, and that’s chickenshit.
“Any time someone from group X — could be ethnic, occupational, religious, whatever — claims that an attack on them for their failings is necessarily an attack on their whole group, they’re using that status to protect their own failings, and that’s chickenshit.”…….. Hmmmm
By substituting Jew for X, I am glad that you have admitted your own chickenshit Diamond.
Since characters in Oświęcim are not on your keyboard you have to copy and paste it from the Wikipedia where you have also learn its geography.
Education, Education Education, Iljic Uljanov Lenin!
Yep. I went to Wikipedia because I could not remember how to spell “Oświęcim.” (I remembered it as something like “Osterwicz,” but that didn’t seem quite right.) I knew that it was in Poland, but I don’t care whether you believe that. We can just file it with the other things you wrongly believe.
You keep digging a hole that you created and that’s admirable. If you want to consider it an admirable trait.
When addressing someone that you don’t know, especially in e-mail correspondence, you should never assume anything about the recipient. Especially if you don’t know them or have not met them personally. Even if I am on the same side of someone on an issue and/or know them very well, that does not exclude me from using the terms please and thank you when requesting something like a status update or information.
If you want to address someone on a peer level in a social/non-business like setting, it is best to treat them as equals by not using titles that seem to place yourself above the recipient of your correspondence. I don’t appreciate being talked down to or placed in a hierarchial; structure with those I correspond with. You could have asked Vern on how to correspond with me or even your nemesis Art Pedroza. I’ve know these guys and they know me pretty well. As a result, you would have received the information you requested if you would have followed these simple steps in your correspondence and not made public that you emailed me.
Call it weird, difficult of whatever you want, but since you never met me and you don’t know me personally, you can’t be like a bull in a china shop by assuming that I am going to automatically comply with requests that seem demanding and hasty in tone from someone I don’t know or have not met.
You could have done the other thing and ask for my number via email. If you would have asked nicely, I would have given it to you.
I’m sorry that I inadvertently insulted you in how I approached you. Approaching you as I did, as someone with similar interests when it comes to reforming marijuana laws, was my treating you as a peer, but as you took it otherwise I regret not doing as you say.
I want to re-emphasize one thing: my being a State Senate Candidate is not a “title”; it’s an opportunity for me to press issues that I care about — and that, in this case, you care about too. If I were elected, I’d get why you felt I was bigfooting you; instead, I’m using the ability to run for office as an opportunity to push an agenda. (It’s mostly an Occupy agenda, but this is part of it too.)
The Administration’s attacks on Prop 215 have to stop. Within the party, I’m using reactions like yours to spread the word that the Obama Administration is screwing up royally here. That’s why I don’t mind the criticism of Obama; I do mind people suggesting (implicitly, at least) that this means that there’s no difference between the two major candidates on even this issue. Obama will be a hard sell; Romney, in my opinion, would be an impossible sell.
I’ve had enough fighting for the day (I hope); again, I’m sorry that I unintentionally insulted you with my e-mail communication.
By the way, GF, I asked you privately without a reply so now I’ll have to ask you publicly: of the 3 or 4 ballot initiatives dealing with MMJ, decriminalization, and legalization that were being considered as of a few months ago, are any of them still in the process of collecting petitions? I’d like to help promote them, if so, especially RMLW.
geeg,
RMLWA is dead. The only ballot initiative left standing is the California Cannabiss Hemp and Health Initiative CCHHI, the jack Herrer initiative. Contavct me for details on how you can promote this. It has all the elements of all the ballot initiatives but also legalizes industrial hemp.
Sorry, Paul — I’m a little startled by your actually getting us back towards being on topic. If you want to write up a story on it and mail it to me, I’d like to print one. (I’m guessing that Vern would agree.)
Diamond, you would have impressed me more if you actually looked up the Ojibwe translations. Wait a minute! That’s not “deep” enough for you.
“(Obama) is as smarmy as a politician can be.”
Well as they say, Diamond. “If the shoe fits, wear it” pr “you wear it well.” Or is that not “deep” enough for you.
“(Obama) is as smarmy as a politician can be.”……… Hmmmmm
I am sure Fawkes that Ojibwe would agree with my statement: “The enemy of my enemy is my friend”.
Obama is my friend.
Found it! It’s transliterated as “zhaaganaash,” two “a”s in the front.
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/zhaaganaash
So, combining it with “maaaaaa,” which you defined above, we have “white man who speaks with forked tongue.”
You actually quoted B-movie Western dialogue to me.
OK, at some point I’m going to have to be given the right to think that that too is funny. Did the phrase really predate the movies?
This post addresses it, as well as the derivation of the once-ubiquitous (in such movies) “Ungawa.” I can’t vouch for it; it sounds too good (or bad) to be true.
ooo – ungawa! Man, we got the powah!
that?
Damn, I had forgotten the link. Here it is.
“Ungawa” was also used as fake Indian-speak in westerns. The comment explains why, in a “too good to verify” way.
Greg I have petitions for the only remaining MMJ ballot initiatibe, the California Cannabis Hemp Health Initiative AKA the Jack herrer initiative. It legalizes Industrial hemp as well as the marijuana that gets you high or treats your ailments. I have petitions to be taken to gather sigs. call me.
Thanks, Paul. I’ll take some. When is the deadline for signatures? How many sigs have been gathered so far?
What chilling effect will the raid on Oaksterdam will have? The lesson there being that if you want to get rid of a Dispensary in your community just open a daycare a block away and call the Feds to get them shut down. Hell, if you babysit in your home and read books to the kids I’ll bet that will suffice. Regional Attorneys are here to help unless you are the victim of a bank that has engaged in fraud to trap you in a fake loan modification scheme designed to force you into foreclosure. Then they don’t have anything they can do for you even though the President made a big show a little while ago saying that his Regional Attorneys were going to focus on that. Sorry, got any potheads you wanna drop a dime on? They are so much easier and they have assets to forfeit.
“Shame on the Obama Administration, the Department of Justice and U.S. Attorney Haag for escalating this war on medical marijuana. Let’s be clear – Obama has been far worse than Clinton and George W. Bush ever were with their policies regarding marijuana. My disappointment in this Administration has shifted now to anger for this inexplicable crackdown. Prop. 215 is the law in California and we need to defend it.”………. Hmmmmm
If so, why are you posting your article in the Bolshevistic blog which voted for Obama the Messiah (“The anticipated deliverer and king of the Jews”)?
Have you study the spiral of life?….. Fawkes?
I know the spiral of life real well having studied it extensively with the Ojibwa and Lakota elders and our conversations with one another. (yes, I know…not deep!) From my talks with the elders, it seems that certain zhagnaash on this path are not to be trusted if one is to enter “the realm of magic.”
If it satisfies your curiousity, this posting was a trial to test the trustworthiness of some zhagnaash. His inability to keep private e-mail correspondence private, his inability to address me as an equal peer and his decision to trivialize my concerns for my people’s rights by linking it as an inability to think deeply showed me his true character and why he and his allies are zhagnaash maaaaaa that cannot be trusted.
I should add that Obama’s ban on Marijuana is not because he is against its legalization but because he is under a pressure from the CIA which make money on drug war to finance its clandestine operations.
Please think you moron mongoloids!…… How many times I must caveat that.
If that’s true (and it would have historical precedent), then it should be made known. Unfortunately, you’re not the source to cite. I also have to point out that electing Romney would not exactly improve the situation.
And you’re the source to cite? Please!
Where did I say that Romney would have been better on this issue? You obviously like to make assumptions about people you don’t know or have met. Like I said before, you had your chance but your inability to address me as an equal peer and inability to keep e-mail communications privates proves that you are no better than the people you criticize (i.e. Jerbal).
Wait a minute! I’m not worthy to address the self annointed guru Greg Diamond. I’m a low quality, uncaring Native American activist.
By the way, I can choose any handle I like. Unless I need to bow to you for approval. But you’d prefer that anyway wouldnt you, zhagnaash maaaaaa.
I was talking to Fiala there, not to you. The hint was that my comment was a reply to Fiala. You haven’t mentioned Romney until now. I’d say that he’s the only other person liable to be elected, but you’d probably deny it.
Yes, you can pick any handle you’d like — but that doesn’t mean that other people won’t wonder why you did it.
By the way, I finally Googled “zhagnaash maaaaaa.” Pretty funny.
I don’t know what’s so “funny” about our dialect. It is one of many languages native to this land.
Would you prefer I pick Crazy Horse?
The funny thing is that the only place on Google where it appears — with one or two “a”s in “zhagnaash” and with anywhere between one and six “a”s in “maaaaaaa” — is in this story. Maybe you’re transliterating it in an unusual way. Regardless, it doesn’t show up in the search that you taunted me for not having done.
If I were of Ojibwe heritage, I’d be tempted to choose the handle “Mississaugas,” which I think is the longest word composed only of odd-numbered letters. But that’s your call.
Start you knowledge here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Webb
I am surprised that the government is not for doping up the population with pot.
It make farming the human cattle much easier.
It all rolls into one
and nothing comes for free
There’s nothing you can hold
for very long
And when you hear that song
come crying like the wind
it seems like all this life
was just a dream
Stella Blue
RIP Gary, you keep showing up!
Romney and Santorum support legalization of Marijuana? Boyu, talking about pandering to the under 25 vote? Or is that over 65 vote? Or maybe people just think that since Prescription Drugs are too available…..maybe Canabis 101 may be made part of the UC graduate program in pharmachology?
Guy Fawkes, Greg Diamond et al, you could have gotten quite a few signatures gathered for the CCHHI jack Herrer initiative by now instead of doing this stupid circle jerk of name calling. I have petitions. The deadline is April 20th. Gregh not sure about the number of sigs gathered so far but we need about 500 thousand valid sigs. Anyone who wants to gather sigs please call me. 714-478-4559. No blocked numbers please I dont answet those. And If I dont answr please text me with your name cause im trying to keep my head down and no answering numbers I dont recognize. Long story.
Paul,
The drop dead date is June 1st according to my previous conversation with Buddy Duzy. I’ve already been in touch with Kandice from OC NORML and am fully aware of the drop dead date.
You may also want to know that Repeal Cannabis Prohibition 2012 is still circulating signatures until 4/20.
Point well-taken.
For easy reference, here’s what the Secretary of State’s office currently has to say about the six marijuana-related initiatives that have been submitted (warning — long post):

Richard Lee of Oaksterdam just put out this e-mail. (GF, with your permission, I’ll also add this as an update at the end of the story, or you can. Or not.)
“President Obama promised at the beginning of his administration to respect state medical marijuana laws. He has broken this promise time and time again — and the consequences have been devastating.”
The first clue on Obama’s stance on this issue should have been the selection of Joe Biden as VP whose Senate voting record was very supportive of the current War on Drugs. Many cannabis legalization and drug policy reform activists don’t call him G.I. Joe Biden for mere fun. The clarion call was put out to oppose this move but fell it on deaf ears amidst the orgasmic euphoria of the candidacy of Barack Obama.
The second clue on Obama’s stance should have been the decision to name Michele Leonhart as acting DEA Administrator. A holdover from the Bush II Administration. Once again, nothing.
The third clue should have been the appointment and confirmation of Gil Kerlikowske as Drug Czar. Same result, same bullshit.
So how do you plan on “selling” this idea of legalization to Obama again? The track record is looking rather dismal on the surface. I could say please and thank you to him in my correspondence, but that doesn”t seem to work anymore.
The only way to do this is doing what Colorado, Washington and California are attempting to do. Put it on the ballot with a clear message that we are not going to comply with Federal laws also known as nullification. An idea that some may lump in with slavery and Jim Crow laws. If they can do it with the health care bill, why not wioth this issue? It certainly will send a stronger message than hoping that Barack Obama will one day awaken from his eternal disconnected slumber like Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz.
I am disapointed that you are taking your impending demise so lightly,
A disease – known as huanglongbing (HLB) or citrus green – was discovered in a lemon tree in Hacienda Heights, according to the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA).
Officials say HLB is a bacterial disease that attacks the vascular system of trees and doesn’t pose any danger to humans or animals. It can be transmitted from plant to plant by the Asian citrus psyllid, a flying insect.
I laugh, the OJB has long been infected by opinonated, once well meaning individuals, feircely (thats you VN) defensive editors, long winded bloggers and commenters who make people ask “Who the Fuck is that guy (sometimes in a not so favorable light)?
To be sure, there is NO CURE for HLB. eradication is the only answer.
– I have my own opinion on how this travesty happened, and I’ll note that Diamond hasn’t been around that long and Brea isn’t that far from Hacienda Heights.
But, before we go Med-Fly on everybody, maybe we look for the answer within ourselves. This also a parable related to “OAKSTERDAM”, where an adult male (obviously unbalanced) blew away seven classmates because he felt “BULLIED” , Meanwhile sixty six OPD, FBI and US Attorney cops were cleaning up an agriculture site in Oakland.
Call in the airstrike like Col. Kurtz. Malathion? Agent Orange? Shit O Dear.
Bush? Obama? 1A, 1B.
Embrace it.
Well, KLND, as long as you are poetic, you always have a spot here, even if it’s almost as hard to figure out what you’re saying as it is with the Winships.
Sorry I had just hit some of Fawkes “Train Wreck”!
“even if it’s almost as hard to figure out what you’re saying as it is with the Winships.”……… Hmmmmm
I have no problem interpret KLND nor Winships!
I wonder why?
the drugs, stanislav.
Now you know what to take Gröfaz for comprehension.
Make sure that one of them is called Cialis and definitely no CH3CH2OH.
Algae for protein? Head injury on Soviet tank?
“Head injury on Soviet tank”……… Hmmmm
Definitely my medical advise to you Bushalski is Cialis too, to release some pressure between your medulla spinalis and its enclosure consisting of three membranes.
Tony and I will file this advice away for when we’re as ancient as you, you deranged Czech relic.
“Tony and I will file this advice away for when we’re as ancient as you”……. Hmmmmm
Why wait?
The time is of the essence.
But before you do that do not forget you an Tony to medicate yourselves, you may find some mutual attraction by doing so.
There’s no way, after this devolution, that this post can have 100 comments.
“this post can have 100 comments”……… Hmmmm
It is 101 now and counting!
My commenting always brings rating.
Whoever wrote the article certainly wasnt paying attention to details. OPD was busy with a shooting down the freeway at a Korean for profit university. Strictly a Fed operation all the way. And not unexpected given the posturing by the US Attorneys (4) over the last several months
The pot-head Initiative’s make me think of the people who can’t think very well and live their life’s as human cattle.
Someone yells, the pot-head Initiative’s passed, run for the promised land. And the human cattle stamped to the large factory building moo’ing the promised land.
One of the cattle asks another how he knows this is the promised land? The other tells him “well nobody has ever come back from the promised land, so it must be the best”
The first one comes around the corner and there is Obama with a sledge hammer, POW right between the eyes, one down, the next comes around the corner with 2 more on his tail, Joe B clobbers one and then Hillary C gets the next, will Bill C screaming, “I feel your pain” and clubs next one to the ground.
After wards as the 4 smoke some cancer sticks and down a few shots of booze, one of them comments, “Those pot-head’s never learn do they?” And they all laugh.
What a cute story. The initiative, which provides for industrial production of non-psychoactive hemp, limited personal cultivation, and taxation up the wazoo (that will still cut the Mexican cartels out of the business) is not for the sake of potheads only (although it will keep many from going to or staying in prison.) It’s for the sake of everyone who wants lower taxes, better services, better policing focused on more serious crimes, fewer lives lost and ruined, an improved environment, and so on.
Cute story, though!
Greg,
Prop 215 was enacted Nov 1996 with the same promises you stated above. 15 years and none of the benefits have come true, lower crime, lower costs, a drug free Mexico.
The “reduction of suffering” part has come true. As for the rest, blame the federal government, which maintains the fiction than cannabis has no, nil, zero, legitimate medical use and therefore belongs on Schedule I. We’re pushing against a wall of ignorance and corruption; eventually it will topple. We’re not going to get anywhere by no longer pushing.
You may be confusing Prop 215 with general decriminalization arguments.
In any case neither has been enacted. There is waaaaay too much public money at stake for the anti-drug cartel.
Cook. you are doing your best work. Keep up the drug abuse, old man!!
Wonder if one can smoke Viagra. Hmmm.
*Was Solent Green….really Acapulco Gold? Close all the Medical Marijuana Clinics and let people get their drugs the old fashioned way: Sent in the mail…..listed as
“Generic!” or “Machine Parts”! Let everyone Roll and Grow and Smoke their own!
Not likely folks!!!! Pat Robertson doesn’t have enough Prayer Partners that believe – for that one!
Give us a break!
War on drugs and war on control of oil with a war on WMD label on it, this is the govenment’s excuse to spend taxpayers’ money so they can say we can’t afford universal health care or something that really matters to the welfare of the people and alot of it is for personal gain.
I am sure that Obama probably went in wanting to do what he said but now that he is sitting in the Oval Office, his perspective is way different and I am sure he has new influential friends showing him how to do things. Which shows his true character traits. He is a true democrat and has the willpower of a cocaine addict.
Don’t you people have something better to do than to blather on and on about stupid shit?
“Don’t you people have something better to do than to blather on and on about stupid shit?”………. Hmmmmm
Like what Sillywag?
I do not know about Gröfaz and zhagnaash maaaaaa but after I replaced my colostomy bag, take pis via catheter administrated by my OC Social Worker there is not much I can do here.
Sometimes, if I pay Social Worker extra she gives me good massage of my enlarged prostate and that is about “something better to do” here.
Yesterday, I was upset about the medical grass and my colostomy bag broke so there was some “stupid shit” here too.
So I was little bit edgy yesterday…. so what?
Skally…..this has been quite entertaining.
I kept waiting for Diamond to tell GF to “put that in your pipe and smoke it.”
He certainly ruffled his feathers. And versa vice.
Ya mean GF’s peace pipe? I kinda think he lacks one.
“Ya mean GF’s peace pipe? I kinda think he lacks one”……… Hmmmmm
As Gröfaz you should know that a peace is in the tomahawk not in the pipe.
and skally joins the stupid party ….
fiala – you know that there are tomahawks which are both ax and pipe – you can smoke a pipe over your vanquished adversary thaqt you have slaughtered in order to bring peace.
“you know that there are tomahawks which are both ax and pipe”……… Hmmmmmm
Such knowledge ends you up in reservation or gulag or concentration camp – Sillywag
I should add Sillywag,
Look up what happen to Geronimo and Sitting Boll when they finely buried their tomahawks.
See what happened to Gröfaz and zhagnaash maaaaaa when they occupied OC with the pipe.
*We were just discussing this morning about how many possible violations a patrol officer can write…..as many as you can fit in that little box. VC..22….22., VC 33…33, VC 11…11..and so it goes….Texting, talking on your cell phone while ingesting a jelly donut and smoking a Marijuana cigarette, while fighting with your kids in the back seat, while flipping off the guy in the next SUV, while driving without your seat belt fastened over your shoulder, while taking an overdose of Oxycotin, while zipping up your pants, while listening on your head phones to a variety of rap music, while failing to stop in a car chase with 100 police cars and a herd of helocopters..flashing and beeping behind you.
Yep, we defintely need to decriminalize drugs……..NOT… Bhook!!!!
Oh oops, I did write for drugs as a whole. I meant just pot.
I hope that the Winship’s don’t think that all of the driving distractions they listed are equally as dangerous. I would much rather everybody be smoking a joint while driving than eating handfuls of Oxy.
The pakalolo may be the least life threatening activity mentioned.
