QUOTES: A Few Thoughts on Voting

“The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”
Winston Churchill

Others might insist that a five-minute conversation with one of the political puppets is the best argument against democracy.

“But actually, he thought as he readjusted the Ministry of Plenty’s figures, it was not even forgery. It was merely the substitution of one piece of nonsense for another. Most of the material that you were dealing with had no connection with anything in the real world, not even the kind of connection that is contained in a direct lie. Statistics were just as much a fantasy in their original version as in their rectified version. A great deal of time you were expected to make them up out of your head.”

POLLS: Another Way to Lie

Do you believe the media? Then why do you believe their lying polls?

“Political campaigns today are all side shows, all honors, all bombast, glitter, and speeches. These are for the most part unrelated to the main business of studying the party scientifically, of supplying the public with party, candidate, platform, and performance, and selling the public these ideas and products.”

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.”
1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”

Worse Than COVID-19 is Coming


WHY DOESN’T GOD ACT NOW?

foot of God?

Not long ago, a nonbeliever asked a very good question.

“Why doesn’t God do his thing NOW?  What’s He waiting for?  Why all the buildup?  What’s the use of any of that?”

In a way, this IS true: after all, God does know who will remain an unrepentant sinner.

This echoed someone else (also a nonbeliever) who asked the question about ten years ago;

“Do you think God is still smiting people?”

smite

2. To strike down or kill with godly force.

3. To injure with divine power.

Back to the original questions of not long ago (“Why doesn’t God do his thing NOW?  What’s He waiting for?  Why all the buildup?  What’s the use of any of that?”)

The non-believer was given a few answers which are given in God’s Word.

1- Man must wait on God.

“Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.”
–Psalm 27:14

Man must wait on God–for the good AND for the bad.

Most associate waiting on the LORD with waiting for something good, such as provenance or deliverance. But man must also wait on those things declared in God’s Word–which is TRUE.

BELIEVERS know that God’s Word is true and that ALL that is written will come to pass.

That is one lesson which end times nonbelievers will learn in many painful ways.

2- God experiences time much differently than man.

“But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”
–2PETER 3:8-9

God waits because He HOPES that man will repent and will avoid destruction and perdition.

However, God KNOWS–since He inhabits EVERY point in time, past present and future–which men will turn toward Him and who will be defiant until the bitter end.

At any rate, what seems like a LONG TIME to man is only a SHORT TIME to God.

So, God most likely does NOT believe he is “waiting around.”

3- Man’s schedule is not God’s schedule

This is much like item #2: but God does all things at just the right time.

That time may not be the best time for man.

God declared long, long ago when end times events would happen–and that is the way end times events will happen.

Not a day sooner.

Not a day later.

4- Who can question ANYTHING of God’s doing–particularly God’s TIMING?

Who can question God?

“Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
–Isaiah 55:6-9

God will act in His own good time, when it seems best to Him to act.

And that is a primary reason the reader is not being smitten heavily at the present time.

THREE YEARS AGO

BEWARE THE STORY TELLERS

story time

“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils”
–1Timothy 4:1

The end times is a time period marked by great deception.

IN FACT, it is likely that more people’s lives are marked by end times deception than by the truth of God’s Word. This is not surprising as most have stopped believing the Bible. Because these do not have a love for the truth, they shall suffer great end times deception.

“And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.”
–2Thessalonians 2:8-10

Not only will end times man be snared by his own willingness to believe lies and deception, but because end times man does not have a love of the truth, God Himself will send end times man “a strong delusion”, so that end times man will CONTINUE to believe the lies he so loved earlier.

This strong delusion will ensure that end times man will be damned.

“And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
–2 Thessalonians 2:10-12

Because end times man has rejected God’s Word as the truth and placed his faith in these man-created authorities of the world, end times man will believe lies instead of the truth.

A great deal of this end times deception will be dished up by the authorities the world has set up as a snare: education, entertainment, media, government, the churches, science among others.

HOWEVER, a great many will be deceived who congregate regularly in the buildings we call churches.  Because these men do NOT take it upon themselves to regularly study the Bible on their own (many attend “Bible studies” where they are pumped full of what the wolves tell them is in the Bible), they believe the lies and deceptions which are cleverly promoted by the counterfeit churches.

EVEN IF THEY SUSPECT THAT WHAT THEY ARE BEING TOLD IS A LIE (or otherwise doesn’t “sound right“), THEY WILL NOT LEAVE THE CHURCHES AND STRIKE OUT AND STUDY GOD’S WORD ON THEIR OWN.

Sad.

Church folk: Beware any stories which suddenly change for (supply any reason). One of the most common reasons given for changing black into white is the one that goes: We have a better translation and so the meaning of the Bible is now changed!

Another popular reason is one that goes: New discovery! We have discovered new proof that what you learned earlier in life was wrong!

Beware the new stories about God Almighty, His Son, Jesus Christ and God Word!

TODAY’S “FEUDS

Everyone LOVES to hear and see DRAMA, right?

And what is more dramatic than an apparent feud among the beautiful people, right?

Particularly if the “feud” is between celebrities, politicos or royal nabobs?

IN FACT, the rich and celebrated almost never disagree: they engage in feuds–sometimes for decades after they have ceased being celebrated for anything else.

What would the beautiful people do with themselves if not for their never-ending feuds?

Satan’s Mouthpiece (the Corporate Media) has always had a problem: what to do when too many of the rich and celebrated have NOTHING “newsworthy” to do. When the media gets tired of reporting what the rich and celebrated are wearing, they turn to the tried-and-true method of of fake “feuds” to generate cheap, plastic “news.”

One popular singer’s entire marketing campaign over the years seems to have been based on engaging in one “feud” after another. But, as the “victims” appear to be primarily the singer’s “fans,” it’s hard to get too worked up over the ruse.

Sports, politics and celebrity culture, European royalty–wherever the rich and celebrated congregate: these are the arenas where readers can most often find stories of “feuds.

Oh–and pro wrestling…

One can depend on those who labor for the mystery of iniquity to act, in not only an EVIL manner, but also in a very repetitive one as well.

Case in point: when two followers of Satan are working together, one of the first things they do is establish that they 1-do not like each other; 2- they hate each other; or, 3- are fighting against one another.

Democrats and Republicans, Russia and the USA, members of the same family who toil together for evil ends, famous celebrities who are “feuding” with each other: it happens so often, one occasionally has to wonder, “Does Satan have a university or school where he teaches his followers these tricks?”

THE WORLD EXPLAINS SIN

explain

Satan’s Mouthpiece (and education) have both spent LOTS of time and resources to ensure that the public knows that man is an animal.

1- Darwin – What if Man is Only an Animal, After All?

2- Humans

are a species of highly intelligent primates. They are the only extant members of the subtribe Hominina and—together with chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans—are part of the family Hominidae (the great apes, or hominids). Humans are terrestrial animals, characterized by their erect posture and bipedal locomotion; high manual dexterity and heavy tool use compared to other animals; open-ended and complex language use compared to other animal communications; larger, more complex brains than other primates; and highly advanced and organized societies.

3- The Animal Nature of Humans

Why is it so important for man to be thought of as just one of the animals?

BECAUSE then, man has a perfectly logical answer for when someone brings up the subject of SIN.

“Hey, what’d you expect?  I’m just an animal!”

“God doesn’t want me to sin, he shouldn’t have made me an animal.”

“it’s my nature!  I’m an animal!”

AS IF man–particularly end times man–needed any more reasons for why he sins.

Actually, not only does end times man sin–he thumbs his nose at God while sinning.

This circumstance will only grow worse.  While judgments of God smite the earth–and the men who dwell upon the earth–man NOT ONLY does NOT repent (change his mind or direction about sinning against a holy God, he BLASPHEMES God.

“And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.”
–Revelation 16:9

“And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.”
–Revelation 16:10-11

“And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.”
–Revelation 9:20-21

One can ALMOST hear someone trying to explain at Judgment Day to God why he didn’t change his sinful behavior.

“After all, I AM an animal!  What did you expect?”

God will then have to patiently explain that man is NOT the animal he has been led to believe he is.

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. “
–Genesis 1:26-28

Of course, many in the churches have been taught that man LOST his dominion when Adam and Eve disobeyed God.

He did NOT–as God blessed Noah and his sons (who were AFTER the sin of Adam and Eve and their rejection from the garden of Eden) and basically reiterated his earlier promise–and then, added to that promise.

“And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.”
–Genesis9:1-3

The world has tried repeatedly to trick folks into believing that there is little difference between one’s neighbor and the neighbor’s dog.

NOT ONLY was man ALONE patterned after God Himself, in addition, he was made a little lower than the angels.

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”

“What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.”
–Psalm 8:4-5

Man is man.

Man is NOT an animal.

And so, for all who try and use that “I’m nothing but an animal!” to excuse their bad behavior: save your breath.

PAUL’S THORN

thorn

“And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.”
–2CORINTHIANS 12:7

Perhaps no part of the Bible has been so mis-taught over the centuries than the three verses in Second Corinthians where the apostle Paul relates the account of his ‘thorn in the flesh.’

Paul’s account of his ‘thorn in the flesh’ is fairly straight forward.

Short and sweet:  the reason for this ‘thorn,’ how Paul approached this problem, God’s answer to him and the ‘thorn in the flesh’s’ origin.

“And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
–2CORINTHIANS 12:7-9

Paul’s report on the matter actually is fairly complete.

MINUS one detail: the apostle does not name what his thorn in the flesh’ was.

Naturally, there has been MUCH speculation on the matter by those who are associated with the churches. BUT, mostly, they have appeared anxious for their readers to believe that Paul’s ‘thorn’ was some sort of illness or physical weakness (such as eyesight). Over the years, these commentators, for the most part, have been very careful to avoid any connection between Paul’s thorn and SIN.

A good overview of their thinking might be had by consulting some of the oldest commentaries–particularly those of the past couple of hundred years.

[A thorn in the flesh] The word skoloq signifies a stake, and anaskolopizesyai, to be tied to a stake by way of punishment; and it is used, says Schoettgen, to signify the most oppressive afflictions. Whatever it was, it was th sarki, in the flesh, i.e. of an outward kind. It was neither sin nor sinfulness, for this could not be given him to prevent his being exalted above measure; for sin never had and never can have this tendency. What this thorn in the flesh might be has given birth to a multitude of conjectures: Tertullian thought it dolor auriculae, the ear ache; Chrysostom, kefalalgia, the head ache; Cyprian, carnis et corporis multa ac gravia tormenta, many and grievous bodily torments. I believe the apostle to refer simply to the distresses he had endured through the opposition he met with at Corinth; which were as painful and grievous to him as a thorn in his flesh, or his being bound to a stake; for, if he could have devoted himself to destruction, Ro 9:3, for his rebellious and unbelieving countrymen, what must he have suffered on account of an eminent Church being perverted and torn to pieces by a false teacher! God permitted this to keep the apostle humble, and at last completely delivered the Church out of the hands and influence of this deceiver; none, not even the incestuous person, having been turned finally out of the way by the false doctrines there preached.
Adam Clarke Commentary (1817)

Paul was told indirectly that his calamity would not be removed, and he submitted. We may expect no such revelation from heaven, but we may know in other ways that the calamity will not be removed; and we should submit. The child or other friend for whom we prayed may die; or the calamity, as, e.g., blindness, or deafness, or loss of health, or poverty, may become permanent, so that there is no hope of removing it; and we should then cease to pray that it may be removed, and we should cheerfully acquiesce in the will of God.
Albert Barnes’ Notes on the New Testament (1832)

The best of God’s people have in them a root of pride, or a disposition to be exalted above measure, upon their receipt of favours from God not common to others; of which nature extraordinary revelations are none of the meanest, especially when they are multiplied, as it seems they were here to Paul. To prevent the breaking out of which, the apostle here tells us, that he had a thorn in the flesh given him. It is variously guessed what this was; he calleth it a thorn in the flesh; but whether (supposing flesh to be here strictly taken) he meaneth some disease affecting his body with pain and smart, and if so, what that specifical disease was, is no where revealed, and very uncertainly conjectured: or whether (taking flesh in a large sense, for his state in the flesh) he meaneth some motions to sin made to him from the devil; the importunity of which made them very grievous and afflictive to him, being in the flesh: or (as others think) motions to sin from his own lusts; which God suffured to stir in him, withholding such influence of his grace, by which he ordinarily kept them under, and in subjection; is very uncertain.
Matthew Poole’s Commentary (1669–)

So, most of the commentaries taught that Paul’s thorn was a physical weakness; some sort of ailment, NOT SIN.

However, this view is very unconvincing–at best.

The reader can know that Paul’s thorn was sinful behavior because he relates that it came from Satan himself. Of course Satan has to obtain God’s permission first before afflicting any of God’s people.  And, Satan IS able to afflict with physical means (The Book of Job is proof of this.)

However, the reader may also know that the thorn was SIN because it bothered Paul enough to ask God–three times!–to relieve him of it.  Paul was no stranger to physical discomfort and there is NO record of Paul EVER asking for such relief for ANY of the other physical discomforts he experienced.

AND, the reader can KNOW that Paul’s thorn was SIN by God’s reply.

God told Paul, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.

Paul would NOT have needed God’s grace for a physical ailment.  God’s mercy is NOT dispensed because of one’s physical ailments, which are NOT chosen behaviors.

SIN, however, is a freely-chosen behavior–and men need God’s grace (mercy) to to overcome SIN.

There was ONE commentary which taught that Paul’s problem was most likely SIN.  It dates over 420 years: the Geneva Bible.

He means sinful lust, that sticks fast in us as it were a thorn, to such a degree that it forced Paul himself who was regenerated to cry out, “I do not that good that I would”, etc. And he calls it a thorn by a metaphor taken from thorns, or stumps, which are very dangerous and harmful for the feet, if a man walks through woods that are cut down. A messenger from Satan… Which sets those lusts on fire.

FINALLY, a question for the reader:

“Why does the reader think those connected with the counterfeit churches have pushed the idea–especially over the last 200 years–that Paul’s problem was a physical ailment of some sort, rather than SIN?”

Climate change” is responsible for almost ANYTHING!

IF it is hot, scientists claim it to be “climate change.”

IF it is cold, scientists claim it to be “climate change.”

IF it is dry, scientists claim it to be “climate change.”

IF it is wet, scientists claim it to be “climate change.”

MEDIA NARRATIVES ALERT

“How can the reader know when the Corporate Media is lying to him (never mind the fact that the media is Satan’s Mouthpiece and Satan is the father of lies)? One easy way to tell is the use of “Why” and “How” in the headlines of an article. When the reader sees “Why?” or “How?” in the headline–occasionally “What” is used–that which follows will be a fairy tale, a narrative, a bedtime story spun by the media for the benefit of the media’s master. “Why” usually denotes an on-going narrative; “How” signifies a story line which explains past events. Not all narratives begin with “How” or “Why.” However, the most in-your-face, over-the-top ones usually do. ALL political “news” is narrative.

“American journalism (like the journalism of any other country) is predominantly paltry and worthless. Its pretensions are enormous, but its achievements are insignificant.”
H.L. Mencken

“Things are never quite what they seem. Events are seldom close to how the media and history portray them.”


“It is a free press…There are laws to protect the freedom of the press’s speech, but none that are worth anything to protect the people from the press.”
–Mark Twain, speech: License of the Press

“If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it.”
Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda

Journalists” are story-tellers. Nothing more, nothing less. Sometimes, there is an element of truth in their stories, but truth is not a requirement of what they do.

The 124 States of America: What the US would look like if all the secessionist movements had been successful – Way back: way, way, way back in the 1980s, this was the topic of research for a book never published by this writer.

Very informative map.

South Carolina, Hawaii and maybe Iowa would have been the only 3 states unaffected.

The project(s) to untie the various American states from each other continues–particularly in the Corporate Media and Corporate Entertainment spheres of influence.

THE WORLD’S JUSTIFICATION

Justification

The world will ALWAYS seek to justify itself.

The world will always search for a reason to excuse the inexcusable behavior it commits.

One of it’s favorites excuses: “IF we don’t do it, someone else will!”

Krauthammer Hits Scalise ‘Double Standard’: Obama ‘Didn’t Just Wander Into’ Rev. Wright’s Church Once [VIDEO] – One of Satan’s–and any five-year-old’s–favorite arguments.”They’re doing it, why can’t we?

Americans were treated to a heaping helping of this type of non-Christian thinking during the Cold War.

“We have to do it–or the Russians will!”

“If we don’t do it then the commies will!”

It” could be anything from supporting brutal dictators, assassination, murder, running drugs: it was all justified by someone else doing it (or in the Cold War version, by just the THREAT that someone else MIGHT do it).

The world will NEVER run out of reasons why it is wicked.

RE-TELLING BIG LIES

Titanic: sinking ship

“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.”
–Adolf Hitler, Propaganda, the Big Lie and Adolf Hitler: 20 Hitler Quotes on Propaganda

Was a FIRE the real reason the ‘unsinkable’ Titanic went down? Documentary claims a boiler room blaze had been raging since the liner set sail from Southampton – The reader may be assured that the story of the Titanic–like that of the JFK assassination–is a complete fraud.

How can the reader be assured?

Because Satan’s Mouthpiece (the Corporate Media) and Big Entertainment keep dredging up those stories and embellishing their lies on a very regular basis.

The more constantly the story is repeated in the Corporate Media, the bigger the lie.

The more attention a story receives from Big Entertainment, the bigger the lie.

The more uncomfirmable details which are provided, the bigger the lie.

ANGEL OF LIGHT

The heart is wicked.

“Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.”
–Luke 11:35

Martin Scorsese: The Devil comes with a Smile – The Bible says it a bit better: the devil comes as a “angel of light.”

“And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.”
2 Corinthians 11:14

Think of all the “lightbringers” on so-called “Christian TV.”  Dealing spiritual death to their viewers with another gospel message of another Jesus that corrupts God’s Word in exchange for filthy lucre.

“Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.”
Titus 1:11

Think of all of the so-called “do-gooders” (hint: Oprah Winfrey) who have built empires of wealth and/or power by dispensing a poisonous syrup which sounds sweet to the uninformed ear, but which replaces God’s Word with a murderous, satanic New Age substitute..

“Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.”
Romans 1:25

Think of all of those, who so carefreely and loosely and RELENTLESSLY throw around words like “love” and “brotherhood.”  But alas:  it’s a one-way street: it’s only love and brotherhood IF one agrees with these love-gurus.

“Angels of light.”

The deception of these last days is thick: in America, it’s suffocating.

Examine all those who claim to be dispensing light.  If the Bible is not the source of their light, then what they’re offering is a deception.

“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.”
Matthew 24:4

The reader may disagree.

The reader may mock.

The reader may violently turn away.

But now: the reader may never say “I did not know.

MARIJUANA: A BRIEF HISTORY LESSON

marijuana

Most of the current “history” of cannabis/marijuana is fantasy–and contradicts what was earlier written about the plant/drug.

A BRIEF HISTORY LESSON: What most Americans don’t know is that marijuana was perfectly legal throughout the USA–and available in most drugstores for about $1 per one-ounce bag–until the 1930s.

Often, it was used for the nausea of pregnancy and other woes.

After the sensational Hollywood movie Reefer Madness was released, then hyped, marijuana was criminalized. In histories of Reefer Madness, it’s always claimed that a mysterious “church group” supposedly financed the movie.  But this group is never named and no proof is ever offered for this claim.  When’s the last time readers saw a movie spawned by a “church group?”  It is never adequately explained how the movie was passed along to Hollywood from a “church group.”

Question: When was the last time Hollywood took its creative inspiration for one of its films from a “church group“?

[A good example of revisionist history is this Wikipedia article: Legal history of cannabis in the United States.  The article attempts to make it appear that cannabis was labeled as “poison” in 1905, but the truth remains that the American Medical Association took the official position of fighting the criminalization of marijuana in the 1930s until the feds began directing their ire against doctors.

IF marijuana had been considered a “poison” since 1905, then why did Congress pass the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937?  This legislation placed a tax on the recreational and medical sales of marijuana in the USA. Seems a odd way to treat a “poison.”]

The “official” history of cannabis in the USA is a twisted and tortuous one.

Anyway, about 30 years after Reefer Madness, marijuana–like government-produced LSD–was promoted to the youth using the Hippie movement and, because it was illegal, the price was much more than $1 a bag.  Like alcohol prohibition, the marijuana prohibition served to introduce the vice to millions using the allure of the “forbidden.”

In one other respect, the alcohol and marijuana prohibitions were similar: both made multi-millionaires out of crooks, crime bosses and politicians.  The prohibitions jacked up the prices of both illegal alcohol and marijuana.

So, there were billions of dollars to be made by the criminalizing of marijuana.  So who made most of that money?

Cui bono?

Surely someone in the Corporate Media is aware of this, right?

Apparently, marijuana being legal for most of America’s past is the history that dares not speak its name.
