In this episode, dedicated to the Office of National Drug Control Policy, or Propaganda, federal officials break the law while spreading misinformation to advance their anti-freedom agenda.
ONDCP this week gave the Montana Meth Project an award for its “innovative and hard-hitting” anti-methamphetamine ads while burying the data that show that not only has meth use been declining in the state for the last several years, its ads haven’t had a “significant role in helping to drive meth from the State,” as ONDCP claims, but rather are are giving teenagers more favorable views of meth. Oops! (The same thing happened with ONDCP’s anti-marijuana ads a while back. You’d think they would learn by now.)
And ONDCP head John Walters was caught on video admitting to violating the Hatch Act, an Act to Prevent Pernicious Political Activities, (which regrettably hasn’t done much of that) by using federal funds to try to defeat a Nevada ballot initiative to regulate marijuana. “Unfortunately, the Office of Special Counsel seems to have made a gaping ‘drug war exception’ to the act, despite the fact that what Walters is doing seems to be in direct defiance of the plain language of the law,” writes Cato Institute policy analyst Radley Balko.
Everyone who’s ever smoked marijuana, and many who have never touched the stuff, know the government is lying about it. The only point to the War on Some Drugs is to destroy American liberty and help usher in a police state. Their works of death and destruction have already made great progress toward that end.

I feel for the pot smokers of the world who are harmless and who smoke or produce their own in their own homes as long as they do not bother anyone else. Just this morning agents of a multi jurisdictional organized crime and drug task force descended on the staff of my blog and held us without warrant or probable cause while searching everything i own, and my friends car and backpack. What is becoming of our nation? I missed my entire vacation because these fucking assholes delayed me for over an hour.

Seems the question is not what is becoming of our nation but what our
nation is already. You are just damn lucky that you were not labeled
a terrorist and thrown in jail to never be heard from again. Habeus
Corpus has been suspended ya know. Yes they be assholes, but these
assholes have a tremendous amount of power over your life now. It may
be in your best interrest to shut down your blog and “conform” your
life to the way the Feds want you to live it.

I can’t speak for Dave, but I will not shut down this site.
If you want to “conform” and be a good little slave, by all means, go and do just that. But stay far away from here. This is a place for free people.
