Marijuana, The Gulf Oil Spill and Obama
(AKA President "Obongo")

* Click Here to listen to the "Obongo" Song *

 

=======================================
It is certain that allowing the flourishing of Agricultural and Industrial Hemp (e.g., Marijuana or Cannabis) would benefit society greatly.  It is also quite possible that it could forever end future Gulf Oil Disasters and end our dependence on Islamic regimes that now control the vast majority of the world's oil supply.  And on top of all that it would create millions of new jobs for American Workers.  So why is Obama so against Legalizing Marijuana in light of this?
=======================================

Overview

[I have every intention of revising this article but just want to get the main ideas out since no else has apparently exposed what could be the greatest opportunity for mankind in the last thousand or so years.]

Most of the oil we have been exhausting over the last hundred, or so, years has been the result of the decomposition of organic matter that has been compressed and transformed over the last 50 to 200 million years.  It is finite in quantity and it's exponential depletion is resulting in the current "Peak Oil" crisis because all of the easily accessible sources have already been depleted.  That is why we are currently risking the destruction of the Earth's corral reefs and ecosystems through the risky practice of drilling oil well over a mile under our oceans.  It should be little surprise that this ended with the current Gulf Oil Disaster.

One the most important assertions of Jack Here's book, "The Emperor Wears No Clothes," was that Ethanol, Methanol and Fuel Oil from Hemp (Cannabis, Marijuana) could:

(1) Forever end our dependence of Middle Eastern Oil

(2) Simultaneously reversing the increase in Carbon Dioxide which is quite possibly contributing to Global Warming. 

Those facts were all well documented in the first edition of this book which was first published around 1986.  I highly recommend that everyone take the time to read the book online and then order a copy for future reference:

So here we are 24 years later and we are now facing the greatest environmental disaster in the United States.  Unfortunately Obama has made it abundantly clear that he has no intention of Legalizing Marijuana.

At his first virtual town hall event, (which I believe was in March of 2009), President Obama answered a question that had gotten the most votes online: Legalizing Marijuana.

“We took votes about which questions were going to be asked and I think 3 million people voted or — 3.5 million people voted. I have to say that there was one question that was voted on that ranked fairly high, and that was whether legalizing marijuana would improve the economy and job creation and I don’t know what this says about the online audience, but I just want — I don’t want people to think — this was a fairly popular question. We want to make sure it was answered. The answer is, no, I don't think that is a good strategy to grow our economy.

Well fast forwarding 15 months later I have to ask you Obama, perhaps you might want to reconsider?

* We have 20 million Americans unemployed.
* The Obama supported TARP Bailout was supposed to bring unemployment down from 8 percent, yet the opposite has happened: unemployment is at between 10 and 20 percent depending if you want to consider the fake or real unemployment rate
* We now have an "Oil Volcano" spewing unabated into the Gulf threatening millions of additional jobs (fisherman, crabbers, resorts, etc.) and quite possibly precipitating an environmental cataclysm in the near future.

Then in May 2010 Obama's Office of National Drug Control Policy stated that they wanted all states to test for DUID (Driving under the influence of Drugs).  The report states that they want to issue DUID's -- which involve suspension of drivers license, pee tests etc. -- if you test positive for THC metabolites.   But you are only "high" for a couple of hours and would test positive for up to 100 days.  This is not only unnecessary -- it is blatantly unfair.  What is Obongo smoking these days?

If I were in Obongo's shoes I would be seriously concerned about an outright revolt on the part of the American People.  Economist Celente has been predicting the same thing for over a year.  And his record for predicting future events is almost completely unblemished.  Again, I'd be concerned.

And of course let us not forget that Obama got more money from the culprit, British Petroleum, than any other Presidential Candidate in history.  Unless you want to go the way of Marie Antoinette and Louis the 16th I would heartedly encourage you to immediately Re-Legalize Marijuana now.  It could save your career.  It might just save your life.  Note that I am only speaking as a astute student of history.  What is about to happen is not going to be real pretty President Obongo.

I will probably edit this later but let me lay out the essentials for you President Obongo.

Here is what Jack Herer said in one of the later editions of "The Emperor:"

In 2006, when our petroleum resources have dwindled to 20% of their original size, America will have six choices to avoid economic and environmental ruin:

1. Use more coal, further polluting the environment
2. Continue to fund nuclear power and risk annihilation of the planet
3. Convert forests into fuel, permanently altering life-sustaining ecosystems
4. Continually wage wars over foreign oil
5. Build massive wind, solar, geothermal, and tidal energy systems
6. Establish energy farms to grow biomass fuels

The last two choices are the only rational, life-sustaining choices.

Farming only 6% of continental U.S. acreage with biomass crops would provide all of America’s gas and oil energy needs, ending dependence upon fossil fuels.

The Emperor Wears No Clothes: Chapter Nine (ECONOMICS: Energy, Environment and Commerce) By Jack Herer

When I have time to revise this article I may expand on this a bit.  But for the time let us just consider what Jack is trying to tell you:

* Employing Marijuana for bio-mass energy production could stop Global Warming which means we won't need your "Cap and Trade" legislation which will destroy millions of additional jobs and drive energy prices through the roof.

* Domestic production of Agricultural and Industrial products from Marijuana will create millions of badly needed AMERICAN Jobs.

* We won't have to send any more money to the ultra-corrupt Mexican Military to fight a drug war that only goes on because you refuse to legalize it and strip away 70% of the Cartel profits.

But neither Jack nor I are stupid.  We both understood that anyone that was likely to rise to the Executive office would be hand picked by the Global Elite.  That is why I often refer to Obama as either a "Corporate Whore" or Obongo.   Obama is a "Corporate Whore" because both his agenda and his appointees reflect the interests of the Global Elite and the Multi-National Corporations that comprise this elite.  And, of course Obongo, is my encapsulation for what Obama really is: a "Bong" (e.g., Marijuana smoking device) smoking hypocrite. 


The Obongo Song: [To the Tune of "BINGO"]

He is a hypocrite because he wants to hold American Adults to a standard that he never observed himself.  As he has said, he inhaled often and "that was the point."  So it is OK for him to get "high" but not for other Adult Americans? 

But Jack summarized the real reason no President, or member of Congress, would truly advocate Marijuana Re-Legalization  perfectly in "The Emperor:"

So, What's the Catch?

The “catch” is obvious: The energy companies! They own most of the petrochemical, pharmaceutical, liquor and tobaccos companies, and are intertwined with insurance companies and banks.

According to the press, many politicians now in power are bought and paid for by the energy companies, and their U.S. government arm is the CIA – “The Company”– (Robert Ludlum, etc.). The Bush, Sr., Clinton, and Bush, Jr. Administrations were/are uniquely tied to oil, newspapers, pharmaceuticals – and the CIA.

The world struggle for money is actually a struggle for energy, as it is through energy that we may produce food, shelter, transportation and entertainment. It is this struggle which often erupts into open war. If we remove the cause, these conflicts may never occur.

(Carl Sagan; and U.S. EPA prediction, 1983, of worldwide disaster in the making within 30 to 50 years.)

Energy Security

If introduced to Third World nations, hemp biomass could drastically cut our overseas aid and reasons for war, while raising the quality of life there by quantum leaps.

New, non-polluting industries will spring up everywhere. The world economy will boom like never before. The race of man will at last be betting on environmental survival instead of indulging in the lemming-like (suicidal) consumption of fossil fuel, which threatens all life on the planet.

So yes, we get it.  The question is "Do you get it" Obongo?  Because I will predict that as unemployment rises and the ecological impact of the Gulf Oil spill becomes more apparent the American People are going to get extremely angry.  Celente predicts massive rioting across the United States by the end of 2010.

And you might also want to be concerned that the American People are quickly realizing that their is a Global Elite pulling the strings of both Obongo, Congress and the Mainstream Media.

Hey don't just take it from me.  Listen to your advisor on International Affairs Zbigniew Brzezinski:

At a recent Council on Foreign Relations speech in Montreal, co-founder with David Rockefeller of the Trilateral Commission and regular Bilderberg attendee Zbigniew Brzezinski warned that a “global political awakening,” in combination with infighting amongst the elite, was threatening to derail the move towards a one world government.

Brzezinski explained that global political leadership had become “much more diversified unlike what it was until relatively recently,” noting the rise of China as a geopolitical power, and that global leadership in the context of the G20 was “lacking internal unity with many of its members in bilateral antagonisms.”

In other words, the global elite is infighting amongst itself and this is hampering efforts to rescue the agenda for global government, which seems to be failing on almost every front.

Brzezinski then explained another significant factor in that, “For the first time in all of human history mankind is politically awakened – that’s a total new reality – it has not been so for most of human history.”



Brzezinski continued, “The whole world has become politically awakened,” adding that all over the world people were aware of what was happening politically and were “consciously aware of global inequities, inequalities, lack of respect, exploitation.”

“Mankind is now politically awakened and stirring,” said Brzezinski, adding that this in combination with a fractured elite “makes it a much more difficult context for any major power, including currently the leading world power, the United States.”

During a subsequent question and answer session, Brzezinski was asked if he thought another organization should replace the United Nations as the de facto “one world government,” to which Brzezinski responded, “There should be such an organization,” before pointing out that the UN was not it in its current role.

Brzezinski Decries Global Political Awakening During CFR Speech 150410banner1

As the text at the end of the video makes clear, Brzezinski’s admission that humanity has undergone a political awakening is not a positive development in the eyes of the elite.

In his 1970 book Between Two Ages: America’s Role in the Technetronic Era, Brzezinski wrote the following.

“The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities.”

The “elite” to which Brzezinski refers included many of those who were in attendance for his speech at the CFR meeting. The global political awakening which Brzezinski discussed represents part of the resistance to that very elite dominated society and the systems of control, subjugation and surveillance that they have imposed upon the human race in pursuit of a “more controlled society” and a one world government.

Frankly I think Obongo could do better than having a Globalist like him for an advisor.  But the more important point is that Legalizing Marijuana would grow the economy faster and more sustainably than anything you have done in your first 17 months in office. 

Still laughing at the idea that Marijuana won't grow the economy President Obongo?

=============================

To those reading this article:

It is time to stand up.  It is time that we insist on doing the right thing rather than compromise to these incremental "dead end" solutions which only serve the interests of these various "greedsters" that want to keep us under their thumbs?

Finally, to everyone that is reading this.  if you want to "grow your own" or simply want to see an environmentally sustainable future that does not require dominating the Middle East, please at least click here and sign the petition

We have already collected nearly 1000 signatures which means nearly 4000 letters have been sent to Obama and Federal House and Senate Representatives.  So if you really want to see Marijuana "save the planet" then please sign the petition and share this link as widely as possible so others might do the same.  I think we will need at least 200,000 signatures to get the attention of "Obongo" and you House and Senate "members."

Yours in Peace and Freedom,

Bruce W. Cain
