Marijuana Patients and the Mexican Mafia: Both Ignore US Laws

The laws encourage the Mexican mafia.

(PORTLAND, OR) - Every time I read the Oregonian about marijuana, I shudder. Can't they write something positive with Oregon having the best run program in the country with dispensaries, cannabis clubs and all!

The Oregonian's recent diatribe November 3, 2013, about closing current marijuana stores, is titled City's Buck State on Retail Pot Shops. I have written several articles about marijuana being the only medicine which causes mental distress and paranoia in non-users. Just the word marijuana seems to put them in a cataleptic type state with obsessive/compulsive actions going on currently.

U.S. Marine Murdered to Cover Up CIA-Cocaine Link?

C-130A and P-3A, former military aircraft, were used to transport weapons to Central America and drugs into the U.S. to support the Contra War.

(IRVINE Tico Times) - Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, a DEA agent and former U.S. Marine, was killed in Mexico in 1985 because he was a threat to disclose illegal narcotrafficking activity supported by the CIA to fund the Contra War.

Six year later, on Jan. 22, 1991, Col. James E. Sabow was murdered at U.S. Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, California, because he was about to blow the whistle on the illegal narcotrafficking of cocaine into the United States on CIA proprietary airlines.

The Raping of Paradise

We blame those men who commit such terrible deeds, the governments who condone them, the dictators, the power hungry politicians, but we women are not blameless. Are we?

(LONDON) - This year, in March I was persuaded to write a small piece on the gang rape of a Sri Lankan girl who eventually escaped to the west. It was a story I had been reluctant to cover.

I am a novelist, not a journalist nor politician and I am not versed in the art of documentation. But the piece, Rani's Story had thousands of hits and continues to do so. Yet for all that the experience left me listless, depressed, reluctant to continue blogging. What could I talk about next? The weather?

No Fire Zone - Channel 4 Documentary - Watch Full Movie

Channel 4 in London has been covering the massive slaughter of Tamil people in Sri Lanka during the final months of the country's bitter civil war for years.

(LONDON) - At Last the full movie of 'No Fire Zone" has been released to the public. Please view it. It is amazing. In spite of the risk of being killed, the doctors, Red Cross members and volunteers were working ceaselessly to save the people as best as they could.

The second tube shows the demonstration in London pleading with the British Prime Minister, David Camaron, and Prince Charles not to go to CHOGM. The so-called International Community were conspicuously silent when the War Crimes were committed in the No Fire Zone.

Hebrews 10:24-25 & Television Ministries

God isn’t stagnant the whole purpose of church is to grow, You will never learn from those who only pretend to know,

(CLEVELAND) - Hebrews 10:25 is one of many bible verses that illustrates,
How the misinterpretation of the real meaning will negate,
Main promises of the word coming to fruition in your life,
Whereas some clergy cannot distinguish wrong from right.

These verses are most often used to enjoin people to attend,
An in person church service however, what happens when?
Local worship centers, preachers their selves are not aware,
This does not mean blessings come only when you are there.

Open Letter to Miley Cyrus, the Femen of the Year!

Nudity has become the first weapon of women against male chauvinism

(PARIS) - Dear Miley, Mrs. Sinead O'Connor obviously cannot compete with you and particularly not her matronizing and moralizing open letters on her FB page that overall refer to her own disastrous experience of ill-advised star. You did well to give up all polemic with her; she is too vulnerable.

Your marketing team is obviously far more efficient than hers at the time of her beautiful "Nothing compares to you" and the big fun you make around your own clip is amusing the whole world.

New Video of Sexually Assaulted and Murdered Captive Tamil Reporter is Bad News for Sri Lanka

Isaipriya's body positions recorded in photos and video tell a chilling story of war crimes and cover up.
(Warning: disturbing images)

(SACRAMENTO) - Chilling new video evidence has emerged in the gut wrenching story of a young journalist with the Tamil Tigers named Issei Piriya or simply, Isaipriya, who was sexually abused and murdered as a captive of the Sri Lankan Army during the final weeks of the country's civil war.

Video recorded of her alive, half nude and disoriented, sitting in what appears to be shallow water, proves that she was taken as a captive of the Sri Lankan Army.

The Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy - Exploit Animation to Weave a Malicious Social Satire

"The younger kids just end playing habits, lifestyles, relationships, type of music and modes that do not correspond to their age". - AUC Magazines

(MADRID) - For the kids, no new technology is competing with television, which has become an accomplice of amusements, distraction and happiness. Neither consoles or video games, or mobile phone.

If new technologies are so important in the development of the kids, do we parents know how much time spend our children in front of the TV? Do we know the content they watch?
