Federal Judge Stalls Sentencing

Federal Judge Stalls Sentencing

by suckmebush on Wed Mar 25, 2009 6:40 am This is a seriously big deal of a federal sentencing case. The federal pukes had forced this wonderful grower of free medical pot into defending himself without being able to tell the jury he was Totally legal with the county and state he was growing in. The federal government was making him defend himself from heavy charges of being a huge for-profit dope dealer when he was the very opposit. His wife left the land with such a heavy heart, but he stayed on the farm where he was well known, like many of us pot growers are, to his neighbors. Seems she was very very ill and the fed, ever mindful of our health decided to tear this guys guts out to protect him. What Bullshit!! Feds didn't care one tiny bit about her health or anyone else's! Their idea to protect them is by destroying her marriage and land ownership rolled up under this boolshit case on them. She is doing some female bleeding and they destroy them by not allowing them to tell the federal jury they are very ill and not charging people for the pot. You shameful Nazis!! His was a legal grow allowed by his county and local government as well as the state, which is what might might might save his grower ass. The federal jurers were pissed after trial when they found out that they were denied knowing he was either medical or sanctioned by the state when busted and said they would have ruled differently had they known. See? what the federal assholes do here is to make this legal grower look like a total drug lord and hysterically scream how he is supposed to be flogged and made to stop. It just does not fit reality and they have done this little stomp routine for way too long on way too many peeps and I would love to see it shoved up the federal prosecutors' ass. This is some real bullshit and whole meathod needs to be wrecked on a permanent basis. It would be sooo nice to see Lynch get a time served sentence! What you have below is a short news piece where the federal judge is demanding clarification and if that clarification comes back that Obama says to the federal marshals to back off this sort of conviction effort then that judge may let this man off a really shitty prison sentence. 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 U.S. District Court Judge George H. Wu asked prosecutors for a written response from the Justice Department about its position on medical marijuana prosecutions in light of recent comments from Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder Jr. Holder said last week that the Justice Department under President Obama had no plans to prosecute dispensary owners who operated within their state's law. Wu said he did not believe that any change in policy would affect the conviction of Charles Lynch, 47. But the judge said he wanted to consider any new information about the policy before imposing sentence. [Los Angeles Times] God, Please bless Charley Lynch and protect his spirit from sadness and give him insight and wisdom in his days of fear when he needs to be so strong. Same for his bride, however she turns out. Amen happy trails

I remain, Your Humble Narrator, SuckMe, Bush!

Oh, piddle, Obama is looking at this guy Sanjay Gupta and I can't tell if he is worth a crap or not. Some very positive medical things came out of his mouth about how reefer helps stop Alzheimer's, something I recently gave you a report on. But, he seems to have totally gotten stuck on the damage smoking the vegitation in pot does as the whole show. Well, DOCTOR... it's not. And you look like a dummy for thinking it is. We do not need a dummy where you are probably getting appointed... Surgeon General. Here's an article on him out of a bunch that I thought looked the best to pass on:

Dr. Sanjay Gupta is no fan of drug-policy reform. CNN's Sanjay Gupta hasn't yet been officially named as Barack Obama's pick for Surgeon General, but the TV talking head and Emory University neurosurgeon has been approached about the job and reportedly is more than a little interested in becoming the nation's chief scold. In that role, he would almost certainly continue the government's tradition of nagging the public about its choice of intoxicants.You can expect a Surgeon General Gupta to take a relatively hard line on marijuana, for one thing. In Time magazine in 2006, Gupta wrote "Why I would vote no on pot":

Maybe it's because I was born a couple of months after Woodstock and wasn't around when marijuana was as common as iPods are today, but I'm constantly amazed that after all these years--and all the wars on drugs and all the public-service announcements--nearly 15 million Americans still use marijuana at least once a month. ... The Nevada and Colorado marijuana initiatives have gained support from unlikely places. More than 33 religious leaders in Nevada have endorsed the measure, arguing that permissive legalization, accompanied by stringent regulations and penalties, can cut down on illegal drug trafficking and make communities safer. Perhaps. But I'm here to tell you, as a doctor, that despite all the talk about the medical benefits of marijuana, smoking the stuff is not going to do your health any good. And if you get high before climbing behind the wheel of a car, you will be putting yourself and those around you in danger.

Gupta's take is certainly less strident than that of some advocates of Prohibition. He's willing to actually discuss the issue, rather than treat the war on drugs as some sort of religious crusade. Ultimately, though, he wants to keep in place laws that threaten people with legal penalties for ingesting substances of which he disapproves. It's hard to predict whether Dr. Sanjay Gupta would make a good Surgeon General -- it depends on how convincing he is about wagging his finger, which is the job's main responsibility. But Gupta would certainly not represent any new direction for the Obama administration in terms of drug policy. And by the way ... With television personalities headed to powerful offices in D.C., can we expect Judge Judy to be named to the Supreme Court? Update: Bruce Mirken of the Marijuana Policy Project rightly admonishes me for passing over the fact that Gupta allows that marijuana may well have some medical use. In the Time piece, Gupta writes:

True, there are health benefits for some patients. Several recent studies, including a new one from the Scripps Research Institute, show that THC, the chemical in marijuana responsible for the high, can help slow the progress of Alzheimer's disease. (In fact, it seems to block the formation of disease-causing plaques better than several mainstream drugs.) Other studies have shown THC to be a very effective antinausea treatment for people--cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, for example--for whom conventional medications aren't working. And medical cannabis has shown promise relieving pain in patients with multiple sclerosis and reducing intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients.

That marijuana is helpful for Alzheimer's, cancer and glaucoma patients doesn't seem like a major concession at this late date for most of us -- but for a serious contender for a government office, it's almost revolutionary. The federal government has been so hostile to any effort to consider the use of marijuana as medicine that its acceptance in that role by a potential presidential appointee is remarkable. Gupta deserves a nod on that count. That said, I still want to serious consideration of real drug policy reform that would spare people prison time for mere possession and use. Yeah, doc... how about you get off the idea that jailing me away from my family is such a keen idea, hunh? People who think jailing others over pot are assholes. period. whether you are an uninformed asshole or a bigoted son of a bitch of an asshole doesn't really matter too much... find out the truth and quit hurting other people over your idea of morality being better than mine. We aren't talking about crime, we are talking about cannabis for consenting adults. More possible jerks about pot from Obama and we told him loud and clear in his change.gov querry of the public that we want pot legalized.  No mumbles about it, Obama. Legalize Marijuana Now.

here's a copy of my latest to US Senator Tom Harkin... you know, the guy who got famous at NORML nationwide when he opined, professionally that marijuana smokers eat their children... real drug warriors know the "truth" we other dummies need to be informed of. change.gov showed marijuana to be #1 to the American public. You are grossly out of step. Your American-public destroying, Iowa-destroying performance as a drug warrior who is unable to surrender no matter how many of his constituents are harmed by his ignorence is in opposition to our declared will. If you want that office so badly as all that you must at least accept the #1 issue we took the trouble to put up for you to know what we all want! We want cannabis for sick people and no bull shit. Tax me, regulate me, but let me think for myself!! Jeezz Tom, how long are you going to let Richard Nixon control your vote, anyway? He was wrong and looking for a way to distract the American public when he made his stupid war on drugs and now he is good and dead and here You are still telling Richard Nixon, "Yep, I am on your side no matter how many Iowans tell me I am wrong to be a drug warrior." That's me, Tom Harkin, republican drug warrior and I am smart. Do you get it?? You are embarrassing the living hell out of us! Now that change.gov has come out you have a wonderful opportunity to change your mind at last. throw off the republican boolshit and help me medicate myself as my grandmother taught me to in 1965.

There is so much corruption it's hard for me to tell if these arrested guys are for real or not, what with the pukey behavior of the so called peace officers. You want to tell me some main difference between these guys and the profit making pharmacies????? what?? they knock it down big time and they killed on me and they killed on my little girl so what are the big bad pot sellers doing so wrong when they buy a car, lying ass cops??:? what???

Feds indict medical pot dispensary operators

by Eric Bailey, Los Angeles Times July 18th, 2007 Sorry this is so dated. I just now saw it.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration announced a set of indictments Tuesday alleging that operators of nearly a dozen medical marijuana dispensaries — including two in West Hollywood — profiteered from the illegal distribution of pot. Among those accused are the operators of Compassionate Caregivers, a chain-store medical marijuana operation that did more than $95 million in business. "These dispensary operators are no different than any other drug trafficker: They prey on people in our communities to make a profit," said Timothy J. Landrum, special agent in charge of the DEA in Los Angeles. Authorities say the owners of Compassionate Caregivers, Larry R. Kristich and James Carberry, ran dispensaries in Oakland, San Francisco, San Leandro, Ukiah, Bakersfield, San Diego and West Hollywood. The indictment alleges that profits from marijuana sales were used to purchase expensive automobiles and real estate in Costa Rica. At a West Hollywood shop known as Yellow House, operators accepted credit cards and did more than $1.7 million in business in a single month, the indictment contends. Others indicted included the operators of dispensaries in Corona and Morro Bay, where patients were charged two to three times the street value of marijuana, according to San Luis Obispo County Undersheriff Steve Bolts. He called it "a super-sized retail drug-dealing center working under the cloak and smoke of Prop. 215," the 1996 ballot measure that legalized medical cannabis in California. Also indicted in Morro Bay was Dr. Armand T. Tollette Jr. He is accused of writing marijuana recommendations for minors, failing to conduct physical examinations and paying "finder's fees" in marijuana for client referrals. Under federal law, conspiracy to distribute marijuana carries a sentence of up to 40 years in prison.

Cops? why are you guys so stupid as to stop our roads and schools from getting part of that cash flow? Politicians? ah, we don't need to ask you the same question, you are asses.

CIA Shootdown in Latin America

by suckmebush on Sun Dec 21, 2008 2:51 pm

CIA helped shoot down 15 planes in 'drug war,' often without warning John Byrne Published: Friday December 12, 2008

Fortunately, the ShitEyeAa will gun down, or cause to be gunned down, Any possible dope carriers not making them nation-building money. And if there's an error? there Are No Errors. if you can't find em in all that jungle those missionaries were gunned down into for eternity... there are no errors... questions? I didn't think so. And only reason any of us are asking about this stuff is because we are "bad guys", right?

I am so totally pissed coming accross this trash! here's the article: The CIA's clandestine role in Latin American politics continues. With the help of CIA spotters, the Peruvian air force shot down 15 small civilian aircraft between 1995 and 2001, ostensibly as part of the US-abetted war on drugs, the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee revealed Thursday. Many of the shoot-downs were made without warning within two to three minutes of the planes being detected. Michigan Rep. Pete Hoekstra, who disclosed the program, was the first to confirm the number of planes shot down in the CIA led "Airbridge Denial Program," which sought to derail the narcotic trade but also claimed the life of an American missionary from Michigan and her daughter in 2001. Charity Bowers' husband, Jim, is pictured above right. A State Department inquiry previously said that the program had also forced 23 jets to land, but had not identified the more than a dozen planes that were destroyed mid-flight. Most of the 15 planes shot down with the help of the CIA crashed in the jungle, Hoekstra told AP, and "the wreckage has not been or could not be examined to ascertain whether narcotics were aboard the aircraft. "The Bowers could have gone in the same category if they had crashed in the jungle," Hoekstra said, referring to the missionary and her child, who hail from his state. The Bowers' plane made an emergency river landing after it was hit. HIT WITH WHAT? YOU NAZI BASTARDS!! WHAT WAS THE PLANE WITH THE JESUS FREAKS HIT WITH?  YOU NAZI FUCKING BASTARDS! A CIA inspector general's report in November raised questions about planes being taken down "without being properly identified, without being given the required warnings to land, and without being given time to respond to such warnings as were given to land." It also said the CIA withheld information about multiple investigations that showed failures and violations of procedures from the National Security Council, Justice Department and Congress. The classified report was sent to Congress in October, AP said. A spokesman for CIA director Michael Hayden asserted that the agency was "committed" to looking at the issue. "Director Hayden is absolutely committed to a process looking at systemic issues and accountability that is as thorough and fair as possible," spokesman Mike Mansfield said. The Peruvian "shoot down" program was shuttered after the death of Bowers and her child in 2001. Dear Protestant Brother and Sister, You died as martyrs for Christ and victims of hate. I am your Catholic brother and this is a caring site. We come in all flavors. We remember you. God Bless Your Family. Other than murdering some nice people who were minding their own business what did those nazi bastards think they were accomplishing? This phoney drug war shit is just completely out of control by rational people. That's why I put up shit like this crap. How I love to put up funny stuff. But this is real, too. STAY AWAKE!

These key stone cops are triggering military responses to percived civilian threats. I calls em like I sees em. And don't we all just feel so... So Very secure knowing that Director Hayden is committed? Oh, yeah. Sittin on this bag of seeds. Our freedom is what makes us secure. Not some asshole vision like this cia shit makes of our nice country to the rest of the whole world. how is it that murdering nazis like this hayden creep don't equate it that their murders are just as evil as what the other nazis' murders are? see why you do not ever want to be part of capital punishment? where does the nazi shit end? It's about Christmas so I, your humble narrator, will Tell you where it ends. It ends at the foot of the Cross. Now, hayden, you and the rest of your scummy nazis drag your rotten asses up there right beside of me and you beg Him. You dont do it because of me. ah, no, I am a mess, too. Wasn't complex a bit, was it? PS You could smoke a bit of weed with me if you want, hayden. It helps the pain of just being alive sometimes. God made pot and it is good medicine. You really should stop killing us over it because to do so just splatters you with the ugliest sort of evil. stop breaking into our houses and stealing our children. that sort of thing... see? just stop doing this crap. it's not helping anyone.
