Wade Davis Cultures at the far edge of the world

I do not even know where to start to make a comment on this anthropology video… the best I can do is to say watch it, absorb it and think about it.

I’ve been warning you, the Hippies are not extinct… they have just been biding their time, so watch out for the fashion anarchists.

This is a video of a bunch of Hippies doing as they always did, showing us an alternative to the ‘Consume, be silent, die’ mantra… put forth by those with most to benefit from that mantra. There’s no doubt the kids were enjoying this lesson.

Green Gasoline: Fuel made from cellulose

Photo: University of Wisconsin-Madison

Researchers from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst (UMass) have made an exciting breakthrough in developing “Green Gasoline”, a substance with very similar properties to ordinary Gasoline, except it is derived from plant cellulose.

The steps involved to produce the Green Gasoline involve rapidly heating the cellulose in the presence of solid catalysts and then quickly cooling the products to obtain a liquid that has many of the compounds found in ordinary gasoline. The entire process takes less than 2 minutes and uses only a small amount of heat. This liquid can be treated further or used as is for a high octane blend.

This Green Gasoline could be obtained from crops such as Poplar trees and Switchgrass, both of which could be grown on marginal land, thereby saving the better soils for food crops.

Other advantages with the Green Gasoline is that it can be used in existing engines, requires much less energy to make than ethanol and the excess heat can be used to produce electricity. The carbon footprint for producing this fuel could well be zero if the excess heat is used to produce power.

So when will we see Green Gasoline in our service stations and fuel tanks, maybe not for 5 - 10 years

The Rick Simpson Story (Part 7 of 7)

I have never understood why it’s illegal. I agreed that there are many businesses who benefit from it’s illegality, but I feel there must be more to it.

Could another part of the reason be that Marijuana has, as a side effect, a ‘bullshit’ detector? I remember once reading how a Catholic Bishop was extremely upset; back 2 or 300 years ago, when he was laugh at by a group of Pot smoking sailors; after he’d tried to preach to them.

There is I feel much more to the desperation to keep Marijuana illegal… I’m just not sure what it is. As far as I can see, there has rarely, if ever, been such a determined, nor such a prolonged and widespread conspiracy against anything else. Which to me means they are scared of it, not just for financial reasons, but because it poses some sort of threat to their system.

Here’s a little story:-

Some years ago; around ‘76ish, The Australian Marijuana Party had it’s offices broken into and burgled. The ‘thieves’ stole a typewriter, a petty cash tin with some $30 in it and… and this is the significant and suspicious thing, a petition apparently with something like 3 million signatures, complete with addresses; it was the 70’s after all and one of the signatures was mine.

Now 3 million + signatures on A4 paper is quite a hefty package, and not the sort of thing your garden variety thief would make the effort to steel. However, some who might could be ASIO (our CIA) or possibly the NSW Special Branch (our equivalents of the US FBI), which 20 odd years later, was disbanded for corruption and allegedly, had their files on citizens, politicians and Judges destroyed - yeah right.

Well what can I say… other than if they jail or fine Rick Simpson it looks like Canada is no longer the exception, no longer enlightened nor humane, and that’s really very sad. Shame on you Stephen Harper, and Shame on your government.

Well it seems to me, to be much the same bunch of bastards who started the Vietnam war. It wasn’t the North Vietnamese who started it… we now know that the Tonkin Bay ‘incident’ was up there with the Kennedy ‘Magic bullet’ and our more contemporary Iraqi WOMDs.

You don’t hear much of WOMDs now days do you, strange when you think about it. I mean looks like it’s going to cost the US three trillion dollars, according to Joseph Stiglitz who was the winner of the 2001 Nobel Prize in Economics, a former Senior Vice President and Chief Economist of the World Bank who served in the Clinton Administration as the chair of the President’s Council of Economic advisers (1995–1997).

Yet Rumsfeld scoffed at the prospect that the Iraq war was going to cost several hundred billion. “Baloney” he said, “The Office of Management and Budget estimated it would be something under $50 billion”. - Online NewsHour.

It’s kind of strange isn’t it… governments are actually stopping people from using a natural plant with natural healing properties, that apparently has cured Cancer, helped with MS and Glaucoma. It helps with chronic pain or loss of appetite from Chemotherapy or AIDs, and has at it’s worst, a side effect that makes people laugh, get the munchies and generally get on with each other better… hey, not only do they stop people from using it, they throw them in jail, sometimes it’s for Life!?

These governments pro porting to be God fearing, bastions of the Law, Champions of Democracy and Freedom, continually lie, murder uncounted thousands of innocents, treat their own Veterans; both the injured and the minority who are relatively unscathed, with such unbelievable callous disregard it’s hard to believe.

Yet they give countless billions to the Military Industrialists and the Drug companies, but they can’t give the Veterans proper health care, nor even millions of kids. They will not give Veterans a decent standard of life either, and they pretty much leave the Veteran’s families, or the jails, to pick up the pieces.

Lighten up Beam you’ll bust a vessel! OK then, lets look at the funny side of the equation.

The Rick Simpson Story (Part 4 of 7)

The more I see of Rick Simpson’s story, the more disgusted I get with the Drug companies… how many people have their drugs killed, how many people’s lives have they ruined because of their greed. Yet we see Drug companies salespersons smiling at how much money they and their companies are making on Cancer ‘cures’, many of which actually cause people to die from the treatment.

And I’m not leaving the doctors out of this either, it may be edicts coming down from higher up, but it seems to me that some doctors have in investment in sickness rather than health, and either don’t want to look seriously at using Hemp Oil… or they are stupid enough to believe the outrageous lies told about medical Marijuana, or if you prefer, the Hemp plant.

The fact that some doctors smoke tobacco, drink too much and even indulge in using drugs illegally, shows that they are just human, and as such, prone to human foibles, such as being shown to being gutless, by not standing up to their own governing bodies and the government for their patients.

Well I would have expected better from the Canadian authorities… but then, they do now have a Conservative government, so I guess they are mono focused on ‘free enterprise’; that’s where fewer benefit but more are disadvantaged, and lies, bigotry and ignorance reign supreme.

Isn’t it typical, a few rednecks in suits, who probably drink & smoke (tobacco), using outrageous bully boy tactics with little or no regard for what’s moral. Doing the deeds of faceless stupid, ignorant, bigoted and hypocritical suited ‘old boys’, with their secret hand shakes, and oaths taken with trouser legs rolled up, white gloves on, hoods on heads and nooses around their necks… what a pathetic, corrupt, power mad, chauvinistic bunch of pedophile protecting parasites they are.

The point was made in this video clip about what happened to innocent until proven guilty? However, the problem is, Pot, Hemp, Marijuana or whatever you care to call it, is never judged on a level playing field. If it were it’d be tobacco and alcohol that would be illegal.

FOX News Whistle blowers. UNBELIEVABLE!!!

The cover up of a story on the reports of Monsanto’s growth hormone in your milk.

Corporation’s willingness to tell blatant lies; whilst being protected by amoral Lawyers (spit on the floor), and their ability to bribe their way through government departments either by Lobbyists or directly, is something that should not be allowed to continue.

My personal view is Australia needs it collective heads read for not kicking this mongrel Monsanto out of our country period.

Hemp possibly cures Cancer, Tobacco probably causes Cancer… one is illegal whilst the other is legal, the question is. How do ‘they’ get away with it?

From this post ‘Today In Alternate History‘.

“In 1584, history’s most infamous drug dealer Sir Walter Raleigh was granted a patent to exploit the deadly tobacco narcotic in Virginia. Approximately 5.5 trillion cigarettes are produced globally each year by the tobacco industry, smoked by over 1.1 billion people, which is more than one-sixth of the world’s total population. In the year 2000, global smoking deaths reached 5 million making Raleigh the greatest mass murderer in history.”

Sir Walter Raleigh of England, in addition to his fame for establishing the first English colony in the New World, was also a respected writer and poet. Originally a favorite of Queen Elizabeth. However, Raleigh was later beheaded for treason in 1618.”

I guess future karma caught up with Walter… in advance.

Happy birthday tobacco companies… your time will come, though I’m still mystified as to how your executives got away with manifest barefaced lies uttered under Oath to The Grand Jury back in 1994… surely there aren’t two Laws, one for the rich and one for the poor, the colored and the ‘Pot heads’ who’s vice, unlike Tobacco, has NEVER been directly responsible, probably in what 10 or 20 thousand years, for a single death. mmm

The Rick Simpson Story (Part 1 of 7)

I’m going to do another one of my serials here, this time on Medical Marijuana… but first a little personal story.

When I was 22 whilst riding my bike; which I’d ridden for three years without incident, I had a head on collision with a drunk driving a car; a drunk who was so drunk he could not stand. This drunk had apparently turned across a main road without indicating a turn. The collision was at a combined speed of about 100mph or 160kph.

Now it was an open speed limit road, there was a mile vision either side of the collision site, the sun was shining and I had my headlight and helmet on. Had it not been for an eyewitness I would have been charged, despite the fact that the driver was turning across the road and back into the golf club he was manager of.

My bike impacted the car with such force that it drove the car’s motor and gearbox into the front seat, and the car back into his lane… yet the officer attempted to blame me. Had it not been for the eyewitness and curious bystanders pointing out that the broken glass, mud from the cars guards etc were on my side of the road, I would have been blamed… I found out later that the driver was not booked for drunken diving, apparently because he and the police officer were Lodge mates.

Believe it or not I walked, well hobbled away from that accident, and although I remember nothing of the actual accident, I was told by the eyewitness when I contacted him to thank him, that I’d apparently flown over the car and landed on my back some 50 or 60 meters down the road.

Needless to say, after the accident I was pretty sore for quite awhile, however, months later my back was still killing me. The initial apparently disinterested doctors who treated, me basically just gave me some pills (Indocid at first then Bufferin), but they failed to inform me about the correct use of them, and they kept me on them for way too long.

It wasn’t until a a few years later that I got a reference from a friend to a good doctor; prior to my head-on I rarely visited a doctor. Anyway, eventually I got to see a very good specialist as well, he was one of those great old school doctors, and he actually rang; whilst I was in his surgery, one of the disinterested doctors and abused him regarding the ignorance and indifference he’d shown in the drugs he’d given me and which had destroyed my stomach lining all to no avail!

The end result was I was sent to a very good chiropractor and advised by my new doctors that I should ask some of my mates who smoked Pot and to “Give it a try”. I’ll point out that at the time, and despite the fact that I had gotten drunk only a couple of times in earlier years; mainly through peer pressure, I had become quite anti alcohol, tobacco and drugs. I was a serious competition Skydiver and considered such things antithetical to peek performance.

To say that Pot helped would be an understatement, it had non of the side effects of the other pharmaceutical drugs I’d been given. Pot would allow me a full nights sleep, it gave me back most of my mobility and the only side effect that was noticed was, I was perhaps more social and apparently more tolerant; I must admit I was a bit of a tyrannical captain. Though I did not lose my competitive spirit; I went on to win a further 3 state, 2 East Coast and a National championship, it was ironically the over use of alcohol amongst my team members that finally caused me to move from competitions to filming.

As for de-motivating people. Pot has I admit toned down my aggressively domineering and determined Attitude… slightly, and regarding the memory thing, well in Metallurgy I was 1 of 6 out of 123 that started Metallurgy with me, that finished in the minimum period, in fact 1 of the other 5, by his own admission only got through because I helped him.

I guess some might say, “Well it hasn’t seemed to have effected your ego.” Oh contraire, before I started smoking Pot I considered myself as one of the world’s worst winners, man if you were competing against me, or if you were on my team and screwed up you had me in your face till you either gave up or stopped screwing up.
