New Movies Allude to CIA’s Use of Drugs Against Protesters, Activist Musicians including Lennon, Hendrix, Rolling Stones, Cobain and Tupac.

 

Evidence supports that the wealthiest conservative rulers that run our society have continued a covert war on activists with the use of drugs. Recent media releases, from mainstream movies to less widely distributed DVDs, have given us glimpses of the intersection between rock stars, activism and the Central Intelligence Agency’s MK-Ultra Program. These new media releases give glimpses to how MK-Ultra drugs continue to be used as “unconventional warfare” with the battlefield being our streets and homes.

For many people, it is easier, safer and more comfortable to live in a world of delusion, particularly when this delusion requires no effort to seek out and understand truths that might prove unpalatable. If the delusion is one that is reinforced by the persistent promulgation of elite propaganda, then the idea of questioning the delusion might not even arise.

Since the publication of vast troves of official documents by Wikileaks, however, knowledge of deeper geopolitical realities has exited the select world of progressive academia, exemplified by scholars such as Noam Chomsky, with its enthusiastic but relatively limited audience in activist circles, to become more readily and widely available.


There is a possibility that you have heard of the famed British author, J K Rowling, writer of the popular fantasy series ‘Harry Potter’. While I knew of her books –through my teenage kids – I knew little about the author herself, until recently.  

Under an oblique title, “Israel needs cultural bridges, not boycotts”, Rowling, along with a few celebrity writers, argued against growing calls for an academic boycott of Israel.  

Using generalized, ambiguous terminology that offered little by way of compelling Israel to end its ongoing Occupation in Jerusalem and the West Bank, genocide and siege in Gaza and protracted institutional discrimination against Arabs and other minorities in Israel, she argued for ‘cultural engagement’, instead. Such engagement, her letter reads, “builds bridges, nurtures freedom and positive movement for change. We wholly endorse encouraging such a powerful tool for change, rather than boycotting its use.”  

According to the Ohio Secretary of State, the people of Ohio defeated a November 3 proposition to legalize marijuana by a tally of nearly 2:1.

The official vote count is not plausible.  

The assertion that the election was probably stolen fits a well-established Ohio pattern of official manipulation of electronic poll books and voting machines.    

Issue 3’s promoters should demand a recount, though the system is rigged and they would certainly be stonewalled. As in 2004, critical election records are likely to not materialize even though they are legally required to be maintained.  

Given evidence at very least from Cincinnati, Dayton and at least three pre-election statewide polls, the margin of defeat approaches the range of virtual statistical impossibility.  

The controversial measure would have established an oligarchy of ten licensed growers operating regulated indoor grow sites of up to 300,000 square feet each. The pro-marijuana activist community was divided on the measure (disclosure: Bob voted against it, Harvey voted for it).  

Here are some basic facts:

Official vote counts in Ohio indicate a major defeat for the nation’s first corporate-sponsored marijuana legalization referendum.   But it’s complicated.     And the ultimate issue is far from settled, as cannabis supporters are looking to 2016 to finally make pot legal here.     Amidst the usual “glitches” in vote counting, the state election apparatus says Issue 3 was defeated by about 2:1.  Ohio’s electronic voting machines usually “break down” somewhere in the state during a major election, and the reporting of this year’s results were subjected to the expected delays.     Issue 3 was supported by a commercial cartel that spent $25 million pushing a plan to profit from legal marijuana sales.    For a full pre-election discussion of the issue, listen to:   http://prn.fm/solartopia-green-power-and-wellness-hour-10-29-15/

Black Panthers in berets in black and white photo

Is there such a thing as too much sex?

In the very first scene of Love, director/screenwriter Gaspar Noe lets us know he’s leaving nothing to the imagination. Lovers Murphy (Karl Glusman) and Electra (Aomi Muyock) are shown in bed manually pleasuring each other.

The scene is filmed both beautifully and graphically. Everything—and I do mean everything—is out in the open.

For the next two hours and 14 minutes, Noe keeps everything out in the open with one sex scene after another, some of them even more explicit than the first. As if to remind us that we’re seeing all of this in 3-D, he even includes a close-up of a penis just as it ejaculates right into our expectant faces.

Would you believe me if I said the main product of all these adult-rated escapades is utter boredom?

The first problem is that we don’t care a fig about the characters whose most private moments are playing out in front of us. How could we, when we see almost nothing but their most private moments?

Joe Motil, Independent Write-In Candidate for the Unexpired Term Race for Columbus City Council is claiming that the Franklin County Board of Elections has purposely attempted to deceit voters from correctly writing in his name for Columbus City Councils Unexpired Term Race. It is also confusing for Write-In candidate Keith Hatton who is running in the City Council field race. While canvassing for votes at Whetstone Recreation Centers polling place this morning, Mr. Motil said that several people indicated to him that it was confusing as to which button to press in order to write him in. One voter said that they actually wrote him in the wrong race and then corrected it after reviewing their ballot.  After receiving a photo from a supporter of how the voting screen was set up it became obvious. Motil states, “As indicated on the front of my campaign literature, I am running for Fairness and Equality. I did not expect to be battling for fairness against the partisan politics of the Franklin County Board of Elections as well.”

 

Since when did we decide that police officers should be above the law?

wo of the biggest police unions in the country are now on record in opposition to free speech. They are on record against constitutionally protected free speech that opposes the epidemic of police violence across America (more than 900 killed by police so far in 2015).
