Washington State to Legalize Marijuana Without Dept of Justice ‘Guidance’

By Sari Horwitz

Adults in Washington state will be able to smoke marijuana legally when it is officially decriminalized Thursday, even though the Justice Department has offered no guidance on the conflict with federal drug laws. http://www.chicagomag.com/whet/medical-marijuana.jpgProsecutors throughout the state have begun dismissing hundreds of misdemeanor marijuana cases, according to authorities there, and state and local police are being retrained to arrest drivers who are high and allow adults to light up in their homes. Marijuana, however, is still illegal under federal law. State officials say the Justice Department is creating confusion by remaining silent about what steps it may take in Washington and Colorado, which passed initiatives in November legalizing the manufacturing, distribution and possession of up to an ounce of marijuana. Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire (D) met with Deputy Attorney General James Cole at the Justice Department, but came away with no answers. “They said they were reviewing it,” Gregoire’s spokesman, Cory Curtis, said Friday. “They didn’t give us a timeline when they would provide clarity.”

AG Eric Holder: Constantly fighting against state’s rights

After his state approved the initiative, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper (D) called Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. and wrote him a letter asking for guidance about how the federal government will react to the state’s new law. “We need to know whether the federal government will take legal action to block the implementation of Amendment 64, or whether it will seek to prosecute grow and retail operations,” Hickenlooper wrote. He also asked Holder if Justice will prosecute Colorado state employees who regulate and oversee the growing and distribution of marijuana. “We find no clear guidance on these issues in memoranda or statements previously issued by the DOJ,” Hickenlooper wrote. Like their counterparts in Washington, Colorado prosecutors have begun throwing out hundreds of misdemeanor marijuana cases. Holder has not responded to Hickenlooper’s Nov. 13 letter. Justice spokeswoman Nanda Chitre said the letter is “still under review.”… Read more at Washington Postfacebooktwittergoogle_plusredditpinterest

The ‘Keshe Factor’ – A Weirder Twist On A War With Iran..?

Danté Xavier Voltaire

Oct 14, 2013

Is there a hidden dimension to the war posturing against Iran by the Western Alliance? You can decide, based on new information now coming forward…

Mehran Tavakoli Keshe, an Iranian born Nuclear Engineer, Inventor and Founder of The Keshe Foundation, based in Belgium, claims to have helped the Iranian Government develop a ‘superior’ space program based on his nuclear plasma technology.

The Iranian Government openly promotes their space program and may have used a Keshe technology based ‘UFO’ style anti-gravity spaceship complete with tractor beams to capture the infamous US RQ170 Sentinel drone, an event which embarrassed the Obama administration and shook the CIA in December 2011.

Keshe, who some see as the ‘Tesla of Physics’ has been offering his technology free to any Government or scientist willing to listen for years, but claims he has been turned away first by Nasa in 1985 and subsequently by countless other organizations and Governments. Keshe asserts that only the Iranian Government were willing to co-develop the technology, but this, if true adds a potentially crazy twist to the unfolding Iran saga. If Iran do possess these advanced technologies, Keshe claims they will have impenetrable airspace defense capabilities and will be able to destroy opposition forces globally within minutes.

Staggering as these claims are, and as unlikely a scenario as an Iranian victory over the US, Israel and their allies might seem, there are tantalizing clues that there may be some substance to the story, and Iran might be able to punch well above it’s weight in a military conflict.  Keshe claims to have suffered severe harassment including incarceration and questioning while in transit by Canadian authorities, for which he has evidence in the form of paperwork and his unexplained absence from a scientific gathering he was due to speak at. His equipment, data and papers have been confiscated or copied by various authorities including the Belgian Government, while an imposter claiming to represent the Keshe Foundation has been causing trouble with Governments and corporations, damaging the Foundations credibility as it tries to advance the scientific community’s understanding of the plasma driven sub-atomic Universe Keshe theorized to develop his range of (he claims) fully working technologies which include food, water and energy solutions. Keshe’s most intriguing claim is that US President Obama has issued an executive order effectively banning anyone from even viewing the Keshe technologies.

An executive order issued in April this year threatens anyone considered ‘…to have sold, leased, or otherwise provided, directly or indirectly, goods, services, or technology to Iran or Syria likely to be used to facilitate computer or network disruption, monitoring, or tracking that could assist in or enable serious human rights abuses by or on behalf of the Government of Iran or the Government of Syria…

Keshe’s technology is reported to eradicate local electronic activities while operational, and thus may have been used to electronically sever the US drone from it’s eight communications satellites before it’s capture by Iranian forces. Whether aimed at Keshe or not, this Executive Order could certainly be applied to Keshe and anyone that associates with him due to his collaboration on high technology projects in Tehran. 

Keshe claims Iran have not initiated aggressive action against anyone for hundreds of years, but have stated that they will not hesitate to use his technology to ‘annihilate’ any aggressor(s) against Iran, should military action take place. It’s hard to believe the US administration and CIA are not aware of this left field dimension to the military potential of Iran, especially as their RQ 170 Sentinel was captured inexplicably unharmed representing a huge compromise of US military security, even if it was captured using standard hacking techniques – which should have left it a crashed wreck.

Could this ‘Keshe factor’ be playing a hidden role in the unfolding story of Iran? If there is even a grain of truth in the plasma theory and the Keshe technologies the implications could be global and game changing for humanity’s immediate and long term future.

Keshe – The ‘Tesla of Physics’..?

Keshe has written an open letter to the Obama administration asking them to accept that his technologies could free the human race from many restrictions and solve most challenges, and to move beyond the power position their current technological advantages give them for the good of humanity. As yet he has received no reply.

Many readers might find this story outlandish, but I encourage those who do to follow your own lines of research to assess this potentially important story – which has implications and dimensions beyond the Iran issue – for themselves.

FDA Looking to Ban B6 Supplements, Give Boost to Big Pharma

Elizabeth Renter Activist Post Sept 27, 2012 Vitamin B6, naturally present in a variety of foods, is necessary for proper nerve function, protein synthesis, regulating blood sugar, and producing antibodies and hemoglobin. In other words, it’s pretty important stuff. But, while many people get their B6 through supplements, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is looking to make things a lot more difficult—by slowly taking all forms of B6 supplements off the market so Big Pharma can make millions off of prescriptions instead. According to the Alliance for Natural Health (ANH), the FDA has already begun their crusade. They removed Pyridoxamine (a natural form of B6) supplements from the market at the request of BioStratum, a pharmaceutical company. Why? Because BioStratum thinks it might be nice to use Pyrdoxamine in a prescription drug. They haven’t developed the drug, we don’t know what it is, and who knows when it will come to fruition, but the FDA honored a request from the big corporation to protect the company’s interest. Now, the FDA is poised to pull another B6 product: P5P. You see, the human body must convert B6 to P5P to make it usable within the body. Fortunately, some supplement companies have created P5P and it is currently available as a natural supplement. But, another pharmaceutical giant has petitioned the FDA to “protect its interests”. Medicure Pharma would like all P5P removed from the supplement market so they can begin to work on a drug containing the crucial form of B6. In their petition, they state:
Pharmaceutical companies developing new drugs must be protected from companies that may seek to market the ingredients in those drugs as dietary supplements. The marketing of such products has the potential to undermine the incentive for the development of new drugs because many people may choose to purchase the supplements rather than the drugs.
So, that basically sums it up. In order to protect the money-grabbing interests of this company, at whatever risk to the health of the general public, the federal government should step in and take the supplements out. I suppose that line of thought makes sense if you are a top official with Medicure Pharma. But, the FDA has not yet honored the ANH’s petition yet concerning the B6 supplements. And while the FDA doesn’t always care what is in the best interest of the people, we hope that by joining the ANH, we can make our voices heard. You can help. Contact the FDA and Congress today and let them know that not all consumers are interested in drugs over supplements. You can find a petition here on the Alliance for Natural Health’s website. Two other equally upsetting cases come to mind. Through examining and following the FDA’s decisions, anyone can see that the organization continuously pushes pharmaceutical drugs while censoring health food and supplements and their ability to heal. Such is the case with a company known as Fleminger, Inc. and their green tea product, where the FDA threatened to seize Fleminger Inc.’s products, in addition to making them completely change their claim statement. The company claimed green tea reduces the risk of breast and prostate cancer, so the FDA insisted they use the claim:
Green tea may reduce the risk of breast or prostate cancer. FDA does not agree that green tea may reduce the risk because there is very little scientific evidence for the claim.
In another situation, claims made by Diamond Foods that omega-3′s found in walnuts produce health benefits make their walnuts “drugs”. As far as the FDA is concerned, these “drugs” can not be legally marketed in the United States without an approved new drug application. Explore More:  facebooktwittergoogle_plusredditpinterest

UN Embassies Coming to a City Near You: ‘UN House’ Opens in Edinburgh

Patrick Henningsen 21st Century Wire Sept 22, 2012 The UN is currently expanding beyond its traditional citadels in New York City and Geneva,  dispatching brand new missions to the various global ‘regions’ which many believe will join a new ‘global government’ over the coming decade. The UK appears to be paving the way, hosting the first ‘UN House’ in a key oligarchical seat of power – located in Edinburgh, Scotland. In keeping with its altruistic public relations narrative, its missions will be erected under the guise of “helping to raise awareness of the UN’s work on issues including child welfare, women’s rights and climate change”, according to a recent report by the BBC. In essence, this new ‘UN House’ constitutes a UN Embassy, as its own sovereign territory located within the United Kingdom. The present United Nations international body was formed after the Second World War, and financed by luminaries like John D. Rockefeller, Jr, before its headquarters opened on January 9, 1951. It continues to recycle hundreds of billions of dollars per year from its member states, with the United States of America injecting the largest sum into the UN system, totaling over $6.34 billion (figure available from 2009). Wherever its outposts are located, the UN enjoys numerous diplomatic privileges and special immunities for its workers. During the UN’s Kosovo mission in 2004, reports saw the rapid growth of sex-trafficking and forced prostitution rackets enabled by key UN administrators and NATO peacekeeping soldiers who took over the Balkan province in 1999. According to the Guardian’s accounts at the time, “UN police, and western aid workers operated with near impunity in exploiting the victims of the sex traffickers”. This is just one example of many, whereby anyone working for, or corporates affiliated with the UN were granted immunity, and allowed to conduct illegal and destructive activities falling far outside of the norms of local and international law, in many cases – with little or no accountability. The popular public narrative for its function is as a ‘international peace keeper’, but with hundreds of conflicts raging globally at an almost constant rate, critics of the UN will rightly questions its peace keeping credentials, and often ask whether or not the UN is simply a political device which facilitates Anglo-American and European financial, military, and pharmaceutical interests worldwide, as well as seeding its own UN socialisation, educational and collectivist ‘green’ agendas like Agenda 21 globally, not only in the developing world – but also in developed countries like the US and Great Britain. Critics also claim the UN is nothing more than a global ‘gravy train’ for thousands of career bureaucrats, NGO’s and their associate contractor companies, who feed off of the UN’s thousands of social engineering and economic development programs annually. In addition, UN organisations like the World Health Organization (WHO) have overseen the distribution of dangerous vaccines in many economically vulnerable areas worldwide, prompting many to question whether WHO is indeed responsible for outbreaks of viruses in those very regions. PR will be a key part of the UN’s brand new Edinburgh mission. The UN’s press department claims that its new UK mission will help the organisation to “play its part in tackling global poverty, inequality and injustice”, somewhat inferring that individual nation states could be ill-equipped to achieve such socially progressive goals. Aside from its obvious PR, recruitment and social education, residents might rightly ask: Will the UN be running its social programs for the UK from its new Edinburgh base of operations? If a ‘One World’, global government is to be ushered in as a result of some future catastrophic event like a 911, a mass biological or radiological, or a WWIII scenario, then the UN will certainly be the template for such a momentous transition.

UN House Scotland opens in Edinburgh

A new centre which aims to become the voice of the United Nations in Scotland has opened in Edinburgh. Sept 20, 2012 UN House Scotland brings together agencies raising awareness of the UN’s work on issues including child welfare, women’s rights and climate change. Based in Hunter Square, the centre also acts as a resource centre for academics, students and members of the public interested in UN affairs. The shared facility is the first of its kind in the UK. It includes representatives from eight UN-affiliated organisations currently working in Scotland. Among them is the United Nations Association (UNA) Scotland, whose convenor Gari Donn said: “By combining our activities under the umbrella of UN House Scotland, we hope to raise public awareness of the work of the UN on issues that concern and, in many cases, directly affect the people of Scotland. “Essentially, our aim is to become the voice of the UN in Scotland.” External Affairs and International Development Minister Humza Yousaf said: “The agencies and organisations who will work here already make a significant contribution to civic life in Scotland. “By bringing their combined expertise and experience together, their impact can only be enhanced. “The establishment of a UN House in Edinburgh is a recognition of Scotland’s long and proud history as a nation with an international approach and a concern to play its part in tackling global poverty, inequality and injustice.” See BBC article herefacebooktwittergoogle_plusredditpinterest

My Battle with Fibromyalgia and Potential Remedy with MMS

Ben Fellows 21st Century Wire Guest Columnist Sept 6, 2012 During the pre production meetings for The Ben Fellows Radio Show  I began looking into alternative medicines. One of the alternative medicines I’d been recommended was what’s called MMS or Chlorine Dioxide. Traditionally Chlorine Dioxide is used primarily for bleaching wood pulp, but is also used for the bleaching of flour and for the disinfection of municipal drinking water. The Niagara Falls, New York water treatment plant first used Chlorine Dioxide for drinking water treatment in 1944 for phenol destruction.  Chlorine Dioxide was introduced as a drinking water disinfectant on a large-scale in 1956, when Brussels, Belgium, changed from Chlorine to Chlorine Dioxide. Its most common use in water treatment is as a pre-oxidant prior to chlorination of drinking water to destroy natural water impurities.  In other words Chlorine Dioxide kills all fungus, bacteria and virus pathogens. So how is Chlorine Dioxide an alternative medicine? The modern day developer of MMS is a man called Jim Humble who was an aerospace research engineer who set up Atomic bomb tests,  worked on ICBM missiles and even the Lunar lander for the Apollo Missions.  Once the cold war ended Jim moved into his second career as a gold prospector and wrote several books on the subject improving techniques for gold recovery without damaging the environment. It was during a period of gold mining whilst out in Guyana South America that a couple of his workers came down with Malaria. With no access to anti-malarial drugs Jim decided to use his water purification drops which were Chlorine Dioxide. Within four hours the men had recovered and before long Jim was treating other people for Malaria with the same effect. Jim admits that not every case was successful in those early days simply because he hadn’t experimented enough with the formula and dosage. The Guyana Government soon got wind of what Jim was doing and forced him to stop helping people saying that they had come under pressure from American pharmaceutical companies who were threatening to stop delivering pharmaceuticals to Guyana’s hospitals if they allowed Jim to continue.   This began a life long battle with big pharmaceutical companies and governments around the world. Now to clarify as I hear some of you saying — “I’m not putting Chlorine into my body!” and rightly so. However, Chlorine Dioxide is not the same as chlorine. Chlorine Dioxide doesn’t create the carcinogenic chemicals in the body that chlorine creates. Let’s not forget that Sodium Chloride, good old fashioned table salt, is also made from Chlorine but no one is in a panic over table salt. Well, it’s the same with Chlorine Dioxide. The theory as far as I understand it is that Chlorine Dioxide enters into the body and immediately starts killing off harmful bacteria, viruses and fungus’ because it is a really affective oxidiser. Oxygen kills all germs so that’s how Chlorine Dioxide works. In a nutshell viruses in your body prefer an acidic environment so if you eat lots of junk food or processed foods you create the perfect conditions for germs and therefore disease.   A healthy body is an alkaline body and I’ve known this for years – however putting into practice is extremely difficult. Two years ago I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia after years of frustrating medical investigations from my doctors and consultants nobody can tell me why Fibromyalgia exists. I have my theories -  that it could be as a consequence of a vaccination, fluoride poisoning or it could be a virus. Anything is literally possible. Fibromyalgia is an extremely painful condition which affects every muscle and joint in my body, that means the heart as well. Or rather the outer lining of my heart which when it inflames puts pressure on my heart and creates an abnormal rhythm which could lead to a heart attack. I know I’ve had two! Sometimes the pain in my body is so great I can barely think, move or talk.  I’m not kidding I shaved my hair off years ago because my hair hurt. I kid you not. Then for at least three days to ten days every month I can get a flare up, all the symptoms all at once swollen joints agony and utter exhaustion. I spend most of my life deciding what I can physically give my attention to. If I say go out on Saturday night for a drink, then I have no energy for the next three or four days. My entire life is filled with excruciating pain so much so that it has sent me into spirals of depression over my life and into the hands of big pharmaceutical companies who have dosed me up via my doctors and consultants with so many pain killers that at one point I was taking eight tablets three times a day.  The drugs have hospitalised me on several occasions and all they do is pump you with even more drugs that don’t work. So as you can imagine I’m eager to get shot of this condition. When a friend of mine told me about MMS Chlorine Dioxide helping Fibromyalgia patients I was very sceptical. Over the past couple of weeks I think I’ve read every article online for and against taking Chlorine Dioxide. Some, so called experts, say that it’s an industrial detergent and will kill you if you take it and others claim it to cure everything from the HIV/AIDS Virus to Swine Flu. One of the ways that the NWO have taken over our lives is using organised medicine in exactly the same why as they’ve used organised media and religion. John D. Rockefeller the American industrialist and philanthropist spent the last 40 years of his life in retirement. His fortune was mainly used to create the modern systematic approach of targeted philanthropy. He was able to do this through the creation of foundations that had a major effect on medicine, education, and scientific research. The Rockefeller Foundation was instrumental is moving America and the western world away from organic natural medicine to the organised pharmaceutical industry we have today. They did this by offering colleges and universities silly amounts of money,  then once they’d given them money, which they were all so keen to take. Then a Rockefeller medical representative would sit on the board of directors and steer the education of the new doctors towards being told what to prescribe to patients by pharmaceutical companies who created a monopoly on medicine. It has been thus ever since. By the way, the word “Quack” was a term invented by the drug companies to expressly mean “competition”. So if a natural remedy could be found to be a cure for cancer the pharmaceutical companies would firstly ‘try and buy’ the knowledge in order to suppress it. If that didn’t work they would spend millions convincing the public that the natural remedy was some kind of poison or dangerous and that its inventor was nothing more than a “quack”. So as I was reading all about MMS on the internet I saw that the major pharmaceutical industry had labelled it a quack medication. My decision was made and a few minutes later I’d ordered MMS along with the citric acid activator from America for around $25. A week later I received my MMS. I’d already downloaded Jim Humbles’ free PDF version of his book and so I knew what dosage to take. Basically I put three drops of MMS into a glass, three drops of citric acid activator and after waiting for 20 seconds add some juice and drink it. My first reaction was like that can’t work because it’s too diluted. However, Chlorine Dioxide is very powerful so you only need a small amount. I am to take the MMS every hour for eight hours a day for three weeks. Just three weeks and I could be cured of Fibromyalgia the disease I’ve lived with for thirty-seven years. I’ve been taking MMS for three days now as I sit and write this article and I’m experiencing some fatigue. But I’m used to chronic fatigue as one of the main problems with Fibromyalgia is that it prevents you from sleeping properly. Due to the body being in so much pain you never get a full and rested night’s sleep. Sleep deprivation is used as torture so you take medication with all its nasty side effects just to sleep. Also, I’ve experienced  a little diarrhoea on the first day of taking it and mild nausea. Reading in Jim Humble’s book this is all normal and quite positive as Jim says that only unhealthy people get these symptoms because the MMS is working its way around the body boosting the immune system which is killing viruses, bacteria and fungi throughout. Oh, after two days I’ve already stopped taking my medication for Fibromyalgia and I’m getting, for the first time in years, real restful sleep.
