The Travesty of NEBRASKA
I drove through Nebraska recently and was appalled at what has become of America. Between Omaha and Lincoln (about 50 miles) there was no less than 20 different cars pulled over with all the contents emptied on the side of the road. Worse yet, twice there were police vehicles dancing around mine, hitting their brakes in front of me, almost causing accidents in heavy traffic. They have gone beyond seeing an infraction and having their pretext to tear cars apart to actually trying to cause infraction so they can violate any notion of reasonableness as they do their fascist thing. Nebraska is a shameful example of what America has become. Everything they taught me in school about what made america great has been proven to be a lie . . . "safety check, your papers please, any terrorists in your trunk?". All we have to do is make something a crime and walla, do what ever we want! Tyranny is always done with the color of law. The first thing the tyrant does is roll out about of laws criminalizing consensual behavior. America is beyond hope . . .

It's a fact.
Activist Dana Beal was busted around exit 420. I live in Nebraska and have worked in the Corrections Industry for 18 years. I have written a movie script about a medical marijaua patient who gets busted on I-80. He ends up getting his rental car torn apart on a bogus traffic stop and ends up in jail for trafficing. The title of the movie is "The Good Life" a pun on Welcome to Nebraska. If anyone is interested you can contact me at [email protected]. 18 years of sad but true stories all combined to make one funny ass movie. Its right for the times.
Dana Beal's other work
Dana Beal has been instrumental in increasing awareness of an effective medication for addiction called ibogaine.
Studies have shown that ibogaine treatment reduces craving for opiates, stimulants (like cocaine or methamphetamine) and even alcohol after a single dose. What is especially intriguing to scientists is the fact that this effect can last a long time (anywhere from ten days to a few months), allowing the person to experience a state of mind they may not have anticipated experiencing again
