Weekly: Blogging @ the Speakeasy

Submitted by David Borden on (Issue #552)

Along with our weekly in-depth Chronicle reporting, DRCNet has since late summer also been providing daily content in the way of blogging in the Stop the Drug War Speakeasy -- huge numbers of people have been reading it recently -- as well as Latest News links (upper right-hand corner of most web pages), event listings (lower right-hand corner) and other info. Check out DRCNet every day to stay on top of the drug reform game! Check out the Speakeasy main page at http://stopthedrugwar.org/speakeasy.

Since last issue:

Scott Morgan writes: "Study: Decriminalizing Marijuana Doesn't Increase Use," "Happy Constitution Day!," "Drug Czar Embarrassed By Marijuana Arrest Rates," "A New Record for US Marijuana Arrests" and "Mark Kleiman vs. 'Drug Policy Reform'."

David Guard posts numerous press releases, action alerts and other organizational announcements in the In the Trenches blog.

Please join us in the Reader Blogs too.

Again, http://stopthedrugwar.org/speakeasy is the online place to stay in the loop for the fight to stop the war on drugs. Thanks for reading, and writing...

PEOPLE POWER

For the past 15 years the population
Has been overrun with legislation
Now we have mass brain sedation
By mandatory fluoridisation
What’s your next step in your plan for mankind
What else do you give us you don’t want us to find
In your disguised , gradual genocide
It is time to stand up as a people unite
To support life and claim our birthright
We must question ALL products on offer to us
Grow food in our soil, not kill the grass
Feed real food to our children instead of plastic
Not let legal toxins turn our bodies to acid
The earths future has a right to be
Self sustainable, pure and free
Its our responsibility to discern and sustain
So souls can learn in bodies tomorrow again
We can’t have a functional society
Without high levels of courtesy
We must abide by universal law
All other laws will lead to war
Accountable we’ll be held at the end of the day
For the flowers we wilted for pleasure and play
It’s time to turn our planet into a garden
To refuse Big Brother as our prison warden
Self empowerment through substance for every man
So mankind can rise to peace and freedom again
To raise our collective consciousness
It’s our eternal inheritance
For what it’s worth
As we all walk this earth
TOGETHER WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL
And that really does mean us all
The answer is clear on this fundamental decision
If we want a planet we must all listen
The voice of our mother screams beneath our feet
No longer can we afford to support Multi National Greed
We don’t have the right to poison the planet
In the name of progress and material asset
Or not one can live here any more
Our children’s screams silenced by Big Brothers war
Refuse to accept a destructive society
And demand freedom with equal responsibility !
This is a possible goal and we must do what has to be done !

HERBAL MEDICINE IS OUR BIRTHRIGHT - HAS ANYONE GOT THE RIGHT TO OUTLAW OUR HUMAN RIGHTS ?! CHMICALS NEED TO BE OUTLAWED SO DOES MANDETORY VACCINATION ! SOME OF THE SYSTEMS LAWS ARE SIMPLY OVERRULED BY A HIGHER LAW - THE LAW OF NATURE . THE BIG COMPANIES HAVE HAD IT OVER THE POPULATION FOR FAR TOO LONG - NOW WE WILL WATCH THEM COME CRASHING DOWN ...AND THE RULER OF THE WORLD WILL DIE ...THEIR SYSTEM OUT DATED - OVERRULED AND IMPLODING . COULD ANYONE EXPECT ANYTHING ELSE ? WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND - SOMETIMES IT TAKES A WHILE . PEACE --- BOLDARN
