The United States of ALEC: Bill Moyers on the Secretive Corporate-Legislative Body Writing Our Laws
08 Wednesday Apr 2020
Posted in Generally Pissed Off
Democracy Now! premieres “The United States of ALEC,” a special report by legendary journalist Bill Moyers on how the secretive American Legislative Exchange Council has helped corporate America propose and even draft legislation for states across the country. ALEC brings together major U.S. corporations and right-wing legislators to craft and vote on “model” bills behind closed doors. It has come under increasing scrutiny for its role in promoting “stand your ground” gun laws, voter suppression bills, union-busting policies and other controversial legislation. Although billing itself as a “nonpartisan public-private partnership,” ALEC is actually a national network of state politicians and powerful corporations principally concerned with increasing corporate profits without public scrutiny. Moyers’ special will air this weekend on Moyers & Company, but first airs on Democracy Now! today. “The United States of ALEC” is a collaboration between Okapi Productions, LLC and the Schumann Media Center.

AMY GOODMAN: We begin our show today with a look at the secretive American Legislative Exchange Council. The organization, often known as just ALEC, brings together major corporations and state legislators to craft and vote on “model” bills behind closed doors. It’s come under increasing scrutiny for its role in promoting “stand your ground” gun laws, voter suppression bills, union-busting policies and other controversial legislation. The organization’s agenda has sparked so much controversy that 40 major U.S. companies, including Wal-Mart, Coca-Cola, Kraft and General Motors, have recently severed ties with ALEC.
ALEC is the focus of a new documentary by the legendary journalist Bill Moyers titled The United States of ALEC. It will air this weekend on Moyers & Company but is premiering today here on Democracy Now!
A Kleptocratic Sadistic Federal Government’ — Sarah Kendzior On Trump’s Power, Coronavirus Response

St. Louis-based writer Sarah Kendzior garnered national attention for her reporting and commentary during events in Ferguson in 2014.
Kendzior’s earlier book, “The View from Flyover Country: Dispatches from a Forgotten America,” explored labor issues, racism, gentrification, media bias and other subjects connected to the election of President Donald Trump.
Her new book is “Hiding in Plain Sight: The Invention of Donald Trump and the Erosion of America.” It debuts tomorrow and expands upon Trump’s rise to power since the 1980s.
“I do feel like my book sheds some light on the kind of social and economic and political conditions that have made it as bad as it is,” explained Kendzior, in reference to the current coronavirus pandemic. “This is a public health catastrophe. It’s a human tragedy.”
St. Louis-based writer Sarah Kendzior is the author of the new book, ‘Hiding in Plain Sight: The Invention of Donald Trump and the Erosion of America.’

While some people view Trump’s lack of timely action as incompetence, Kendzior says it’s actually malice.
“He covers up crimes with scandal, and he’s been doing that for 40 years and it’s not just Trump,” Kendzior told St. Louis on the Air host Sarah Fenske. “It’s not like Trump is some geopolitical mastermind. He’s backed by a large cohort of people who are using him as a vehicle for their own interests and that ranges from organized crime and kleptocrats to theocrats to ideological extremists to white supremacists — they have all seen Trump as a means to their own ends.”
Kendzior has an academic background to back up her claims about Trump’s autocratic tendencies. She has a Ph.D. in anthropology and wrote her dissertation about Uzbekistan’s authoritarian dictatorship.
Kendzior frequently points to similarities between Trump and other autocratic leaders throughout the world.
“We have a kleptocratic sadistic federal government that wants to exploit this [coronavirus] crisis for their own gain — for financial gain — to entrench their power and to consolidate their autocracy,” she said, citing examples of leaders in Hungary, Israel and Russia.
“No autocrat wastes a crisis, and that’s what the Trump administration is doing and they’re doing it in a twofold way. They’re exploiting it for short-term financial gain through the medical industry through buying up supplies and refusing to give them to the states and citizens who need them.
“But I think they have a longer-term game, which is basically ‘disaster capitalism.’ It’s allowing the country and the system to collapse so that they can profit off of it and rebuild it so that they can rebuild it in their own narrow image of what an American is, and that will entail a great suppression of American freedom,” Kendzior said.
This isn’t the first time that Trump, according to Kendzior, has wished ill on the American way of doing things.
“I have firsthand quotes from [Trump] going back to the 1980s about his intent to destroy the American economy, about his connection to the Kremlin but more specifically to transnational organized crime, of which the Kremlin is just a part. This is a long, ongoing story,” she said.

State Bill Outlaws Use Of Fetuses In Food Industry
16 Monday Mar 2020
Posted in EVEN MORE pissed off
Although the story is “old news” it is surely something to take your mind off of the COVID19 Coronavirus…
…and do a little research on what we are eating…
January 24, 2012
Bill Chappell
A bill introduced in the Oklahoma Legislature has some folks scratching their heads, as it prohibits “the manufacture or sale of food or products which use aborted human fetuses.”
Since the bill was introduced late last week by State Sen. Ralph Shortey, a Republican from Oklahoma City, corners of the Internet have been buzzing with the news, as people try to figure out two things: 1) is this real; and 2) is there any reason the bill might be needed?
News of the bill was first reported by the AP and The Daily O’Collegian, a student newspaper at Oklahoma State University. It sparked a lively debate in the O’Collegian’s readers’ comments section, which is connected to Facebook.
The AP and the O’Collegian say that Shortey didn’t respond to calls for comment. Two calls from NPR to the senator’s office went to voicemail and were not returned. But Tulsa radio station KRMG managed to get in touch with him to ask about the legislation, Senate Bill 1418.
The senator says that his research shows there are companies in the food industry that have used human stem cells to help them research and develop products, including artificial flavorings.
“I don’t know if it is happening in Oklahoma, it may be, it may not be. What I am saying is that if it does happen then we are not going to allow it to manufacture here,” Shortey tells KRMG’s Nicole Burgin.
To that end, his proposed statute reads, “No person or entity shall manufacture or knowingly sell food or any other product intended for human consumption which contains aborted human fetuses in the ingredients or which used aborted human fetuses in the research or development of any of the ingredients.”
My own research suggests that Shortey may have noticed a boycott directed at PepsiCo, which since 2010 has worked with flavor research firm Senomyx to develop sweeteners and other flavorings.
Based in San Diego, Senomyx has been accused of using proteins derived from human embryonic kidney cells in its research, which has been used by many large food companies. An article in the Miami New Times summarizes those claims, notes the company’s denial of them — and also notes that in 2003, the company filed a patent for “recombinant methods for expressing a functional sweet taste receptor.”
That patent, for what is essentially an automated taste test, was granted in 2008. It mentions HEK 293, or Human Embryonic Kidney 293, a widely available cell line that was originally cultured in the early 1970s from a human embryo in the Netherlands.
So, it seems that Sen. Shortey’s bill mostly targets the potential use of stem cells in food research. But in the past decade, several attempts have been made to use animal stem cells to produce food. For instance, NASA has tinkered with using pigs’ stem cells to grow “lab meat,” according to a Popular Mechanics article from 2009.
The article continues, “Today, scientists funded by companies such as Stegeman, a Dutch sausage giant, are fine-tuning the process. It takes just two weeks to turn pig stem cells, or myoblasts, into muscle fibers.”
And the group New Harvest has long been involved in the search for “meat alternatives,” in the form of “plant-based meat analogs and cultured meat,” according to its site.
Shortey’s bill was among hundreds submitted just before the state’s Thursday deadline, as Oklahoma legislators vied to get their bills entered for discussion in the upcoming session, which runs from Feb. 6 into late May.
Thanks to NPR Southern Bureau Chief Russell Lewis and KOSU’s Rachel Hubbard for flagging the story.
A few thoughts on the alleged link between 5G and the Coronavirus

5G Wireless Internet, biowarfare, Coronavirus, COVID19, ELF, EMF, pandemic, virus
Bruce Cain shared a link.
A few thoughts on the alleged link between 5G and the Coronavirus
Here’s the thing. We now know that EMF radiation — from Extremely Low Frequencies (ELF’s) to 5G millimeter waves (including 60 GHz) can activate viruses (e.g., attenuated viruses in vaccines) and can interfere with Oxygen metabolism. Currently 4G uses 2.5 GHz and even that can have deleterious effects depending on exposure and intensity.
What we don’t know is what frequencies have been used in China, France. Italy the US etc. At least I have not found that data. And while a $200 EMF meter can measure up to 6GHz it requires a $20,000 EMF Meter to measure above the 6 GHz range. I do wonder if this cost is justified or if they just don’t want us to be able to measure our exposure above 6 GHz.
In any case we don’t need to be citing the Wuhan coronavirus as a reason to Stop5G. Since 1890 our exposure to EMF radiation has gone up literally millions of times and for years we paid no attention as it is invisible. But in the last 20-40 years plenty of studies have shown that that certain frequencies in the EMF Spectrum — from ELF to 5G — do cause human harm and that 5G will be “in addition to” current 4G exposure.
As for the Coronavirus itself. As Rappaport has discussed most of the tests are indirect and do not directly detect the virus. The fact that many don’t express major symptoms — and never go to the doctor — means that the death rates are quite possibly exaggerated and may be identifying and grouping different viruses — not just the Coronavirus. I just don’t think we have adequate information at this time and even seasonal flu and other forms of influenza have always killed both old and young generally.
It also seems that Corporate Media is censoring any discussion about the very real possibility that this is not really an organic virus but rather a engineered bio-weapon. If it turns out it is a bioweapon this could be a very nasty “box of chocolates.” It could be that what we are seeing now is merely the first chocolate “treat” which is causing respiratory problems — especially in the elderly or infirm. But for all we know they could have spliced the AIDs genetics into the virus as well. Think of that as another piece of chocolate in the box (e.g., part of the virus). If that is the case then we could possibly see a related AIDs epidemic which would not manifest for years. It could also be — as someone suggested — that the elderly are more affected because they got vaccines especially formulated for that age group in which case the vaccine, itself could be the real culprit.
So all I’m basically saying is there is a whole lot we don’t know AND it is very unlikely you will ever hear an intelligent discussion from Corporate Media which has actively suppressed any discussion about the very real dangers of 5G. So why would you even expect an intelligent discussion of the Coronavirus.
What is abundantly clear, however, is that 5G frequencies are threats to our health, privacy and freedom. In other words it is a triple threat compounded by both the frequencies, the densification and the fact that 5G will be in addition to the 1G-4G radiation we are already being exposed to. So let us not miss the forest for the trees.
5G antennas and architecture needs to be removed. Period.
I’ll just leave it there for now. But let’s just say there are many other topics that require intelligent discourse and research. And the last place you will hear any of that will be from Corporate Media: CNN, MSNBC, FOX etc.

U.S. Northern Command is executing plans to prepare for a potential pandemic of the novel coronavirus, now called COVID19, according to Navy and Marine Corps service-wide messages issued this week.
An executive order issued by the Joint Staff and approved by Defense Secretary Mark Esper this month directed Northern Command and geographic combatant commanders to initiate pandemic plans, which include ordering commanders to prepare for widespread outbreaks and confining service members with a history of travel to China.
The Navy and Marine Corps messages, issued Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, reference an executive order directing U.S. Northern Command to implement the Department of Defense Global Campaign plan for Pandemic Influenza and Infectious Diseases 3551-13.
The document serves as the Pentagon’s blueprint for planning and preparing for widespread dispersion of influenza and previously unknown diseases.
U.S. Northern Command said Wednesday it was directed the Joint Staff Feb. 1 to commence “prudent planning” in their assigned role synchronizing the department’s plans for pandemic flu and disease.
But in no way “does the planning indicate a greater likelihood of an event developing. As military professionals, planning for a range of contingencies is something we owe the American people,” Navy Lt. Cmdr. Mike Hatfield said.
“We coordinate with other combatant commands to assess potential impacts in the event of a pandemic and we ensure the U.S. military is poised to respond as required,” Hatfield said in a statement. “The military profession fosters a culture of planning, and the fact that we are coordinating planning efforts across the geographical combatant commands is consistent with how we prepare to respond, if directed.”
According to the Marine Corps message MARADMIN 082/20, commanders are to review their disease containment plans and take “preparatory and precautionary actions” to protect service members, installations and ships.
This includes ensuring that the plans contain procedures for “response, isolation, quarantine, restriction of movement and community based intervention” as well as developing measures to contain and treat those possibly exposed.
The Marine Corps’ mission, according to the message, is to “prepare for potential outbreaks of [COVID19].” The service must “mitigate, respond, and recover from the effects in order to maintain force readiness.”
COVID19, the flu-like virus that originated in Wuhan, China, is now responsible for killing more than 1,100 people and sickening at least 45,000. While the rate of new cases has fallen in the past several days in Wuhan and Hubei province, the death toll continues to climb, topping more than 100 in a single day Monday in China.
The number of cases in the U.S. remains at 13.
DoD 3551-13 calls for preparing for a pandemic and ensuring open lines of communication in the community, diseases surveillance and detection, response and containment.
According to the service messages, military commanders have been asked to confine any service member who has been to China since Feb. 2 to their residences or, if they live in an open barracks or share a bathroom with others, restrict them to a temporary lodging facility for 14 days.
The restricted service members will be assessed daily for fever by medical personnel by phone or in person and wear protective gear if they personally conduct the medical checks, according to the messages. Should they display symptoms, they must seek medical attention, but call their military treatment facility first to inform them of their travel.
The Marine Corps message advises civilian employees and contractors, as well as any family members returning from China, to follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance to detect the virus and prevent its spread, which include voluntarily remaining at home, limiting close contact with people and animals, self-monitoring and seeking medical care if symptoms develop.
The Navy has included visits to Hong Kong and Macau as part of its directive and gives commanders the flexibility to decide whether they need to confine a service member who has had close contact with a person who has traveled to the region.
The Marine Corps also has told commanders to work with military treatment facilities on developing and executing any response and stay up-to-date on CDC guidance regarding the virus.
The Army issued a service-wide message Jan. 31 on the coronavirus advising its members on the illness’s symptoms and instructing them on reducing their risk of catching the infection. The message was issued the same day the Pentagon released an advisory about how service members can reduce the risk of catching the disease.
It does not publicly release its service-wide messages and has not issued any since the executive order.
The Air Force does not publicly disclose its service-wide messages.
Since the outbreak began in late December, individual commands, especially those in Asia, have enforced confinement of service members with a travel history to China. Earlier this month, U.S. Forces Korea began confining troops who had traveled to China for 14 days.
Also earlier this month, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command restricted all Defense Department travel to mainland China and recalled all travelers to the country home.
Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said Monday that the likelihood of more cases being diagnosed in the U.S. of COVID19 is high, but added that the chance of contracting the disease outside China remains low.
She said the biggest infectious disease threat to the American public this year remains the influenza virus, which has sickened more than 22 million and killed at least 12,000.
Precautions against the coronavirus, which include hand-washing, staying home if ill and sneezing or coughing into a tissue or sleeve, also cut down on flu transmission.
“We are taking all appropriate precautionary measures to prevent any potential spread of the virus,” U.S. Forces Korea commander Army Gen. Robert Abrams Feb. 2. “Key for everyone is to follow standard hygiene protocols, and if not feeling well — get screened ASAP!”

CBD oil, sold in stores throughout Ohio, is illegal and can carry a felony charge
By Shannon Houser | October 9, 2018 at 9:49 PM EST – Updated October 10 at 11:26 AM
CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) – CBD oil is available online, in every state and is commonly found on store shelves across Northeast Ohio; however, it’s illegal and can result in a felony charge.
So, why the big confusion over the chemical compound?
“I got pulled over in a traffic stop and long story short, they found CBD oil,” said Robert Faulkner.
It was July of last year when Faulkner was arrested in Richland County.
“I tried it for my anxiety. It didn’t work for me at that particular time and I just threw it in the back on my truck,” he said.
Faulkner said he bought it from a store in Columbus. He said the oil was made and manufactured from a hemp store in Cincinnati.
“I never went to the store and thought I was buying something that would potentially put me in prison,” he said.
Faulkner was slapped with two counts of aggravated possession of drugs. He’s awaiting a grand jury trial for the felony charges.
Here in Ohio, you cannot possess CBD oil. The laws aren’t stopping people from buying it and it’s not stopping stores from selling it.
Faulkner believes the reason is there is so much confusion about the law.
“I didn’t knowingly obtain everything illegal. I went to a store to try to help me with an issue I have,” said Faulkner.
THC is the chemical compound responsible for the high in marijuana. The DEA says they’ve learned through science, that CBD will always contain some amount of THC, even trace amounts that won’t get you high.
But given the presence of THC, the over-the-counter oil is illegal.
Cleveland 19 found two local stores with shelves full of CBD oil.
According to the DEA:
“Any displays, sale or solicitation of CBD oil is illegal and individuals involved are subject to federal investigation and prosecution.”
We found in some states, like in Texas, police are raiding stores who are selling CBD oil.
So why isn’t that happening here if it’s illegal?
The DEA wouldn’t say, but did say stores selling it aren’t immune from federal investigation.
Faulkner says he hopes officials and lawmakers can help make the laws more clear so this doesn’t happen to someone else.
“I have an ankle monitor on right now. I have to go check in with probation. I spent four days in jail. This is impacting my life seriously, for something I bought in at the store to just try to help my anxiety.”
CBD is covered by Ohio’s medical marijuana law–and will be available to those with a medical marijuana card.
The FDA recently approved a CBD oil medication that is used to help treat epilepsy.
It can only be prescribed by licensed doctors.

Bruce Cain – New Age Citizen
How Facebook (FB) is influencing the 2018 Election by censoring Anti-Globalist users for baseless accusations of “hate speech”
Summary:
This morning, (10/09/2018), I found my FB account suspended for 30 days (right past the November Election), for the baseless accusation of “hate speech.” And it was over a post I made nearly a year ago. It was not “hate speech” though it was an actual comment that I had made. Unlike earlier FB suspensions it is not just that I cannot comment, or post articles, for 30 days. I cannot even see my Facebook homepage or even read other peoples posts.
As you will see FB is censoring our free speech while offering no timely appeal. In effect FB is violating our 1st Amendment Right to Free Speech by taking the role of “judge, jury and executioner.” And as you will read there appears to be no timely method by which I can defend myself against this false accusation of “hate speech.” And now that FB has a user based of 3 Billion — 10 times the population of the United States — these violations of our free speech must be addressed.
Over the past several years I have written over 240 Facebook Notes that would position me as an Anti-Globalist which is my right. And just as Justice Kavanaugh was rightfully angry about accusations of “rape” and “sexual misconduct — without any corroborating evidence — I am similarly angry about being accused of “hate speech.” And I even angrier that my account has been suspended and there appears to be no way to challenge the accusation.
Why is it that we have endured 2 years of accusation of “Russian Influence” — over our elections — when Facebook is also trying to influence the elections by censoring those of us opposed to a Globalist Agenda of Open Borders, Gun Confiscation and so much more. Facebook has been stuffing our feeds with Open Borders propaganda, through FWD, for years. More recently they are stuffing our feeds with globalist propaganda through “Facebook Watch” — which now use videos to influence public opinion.
This is not about me. This is about the mass censorship of anything that challenges to Globalist Agenda: an agenda that FB wholeheartedly supports through its mass posts and the censorship of those (like me) that question it. What this is reallyy about is Mass Censorship of our 1st Amendment Right to Free Speech. This should concern everyone.
The Details of my 30 Day Suspension from Facebook:
So this morning I went to my Facebook Page. Instead of seeing my FB Page I found that I was suspended for the unfounded accusation of “hate speech.” I am completely cut off from even seeing my FB page — not just from commenting on posts appearing on my page.
Here is what appeared on my FB page:
This post goes against our Community Standards
Only you can see this post because it goes against our standards on hate speech.
{This was the post in question — from basically a year ago}
KR: Actually they look at it much like the Greeks and Roman’s did: the guy getting it in the ass is gay, the guy sticking it in the ass is not. Of course we all know the truth of the matter: they’re all a bunch of faggots. LOL.
We just saw a reminder of this in Dearborn about a month ago where a young boy was sexually hazed by other Muslim boys at Fordson High School. Thankfully the students protested this which is good. What is not good is that as Islam becomes more entrenched within a “host country” this shit just gets worse and worse in proportion to their numbers Vs the non-Muslim host populations.
This temporary block will last 30 days, and you won’t be able to post on Facebook until it’s finished.
If you post something that goes against our standards again, your account will be blocked for another 30 days.
Please keep in mind that people who repeatedly post things that aren’t allowed on Facebook may have their accounts permanently disabled.
This was a response to an article that appeared in the Detroit Free Press, nearly a year ago, where a High School Student was sexually hazed at Fordson High School whose student population is about 95% Middle Eastern and also about 95% Muslim. I know the post was a year old because I looked up the article.
=====

=====
Having grown up in Dearborn this really concerned me. The vast majority of Muslims are great people. But in recent years we are seeing evidence of more Muslim Refugees moving in as evidence by a minority of women in Burka’s — full body coverings. I have lived in Dearborn all my life — nearly 60 years — and I had NEVER seen a woman in a full Burka till about 3 years ago. I find this concerning as it is evidence of new arrivals that are much more “orthodox” than the Lebanese Muslim population which arrived as early as the 1880’s.
Are we all Kavanaugh’s now? Are we to endure being accused of “hate speech” without ANY recourse? Is it really OK for FB to become our judge, jury and executioner with absolutely no recourse? Because that is what is happening.
Right after I found myself blocked I found a contact number for FB and made a call which was answered by a male that works in India. He said someone would call back around 8:30 and someone actually did call back about 30 minutes later. But when I picked up the phone there was dead silence despite me saying repeatedly “is there anybody out there?” After about 30″ the phone disconnected. I called again [(888)226-0016] a few minutes after 9:00 AM and, once again, they said someone would contact me. It is nearly 10:45 AM and no called so I called them back.
Now it gets weird. The FB Tech asks me for my email address. Fine. Then he sends this to my email address — I suppose to confirm the accuracy of the address.

Next I reiterate that I WAS NOT HACKED. THAT WAS MY POST FROM A YEAR AGO. CHANGING MY FB PASSWORD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY FAKE “30 DAY” SUSPENSION FOR “ALLEGED” HATE SPEECH.
So next he asked me to open a new tab and type in “www.helpme.net” and here is the text from that webpage:

So I read the text and said to him:
“Why would I give you access to my Laptop, when what you really need to do is withdraw the “hate speech accusation” and let me access my Facebook Page. I see no reason for you to have direct access to my PC. Why would you need to do that?”
There was a brief pause on the line. Then he hung up on me. It is now 12:30 PM and I have not received any follow up call. So at the moment my right to free speech remains violated by FB. I am not happy about this.
Defending my post from a year ago:
=====
{This was the post in question — from basically a year ago}
KR: Actually they look at it much like the Greeks and Roman’s did: the guy getting it in the ass is gay, the guy sticking it in the ass is not. Of course we all know the truth of the matter: they’re all a bunch of faggots. LOL.

(1) Why suddenly has FB accused me of hate speech for something I posted about a year ago? I know it was about a year ago because I was responding to an article that appeared in the Detroit Free Press in October of 2017. Is this an attempt to influence the 2018 Mid-term elections by censoring those of us that see the only meaningful “binary choice” is to support republican candidates in November? And unlike Russian influence allegations the proof is right in front of our eyes.
(2) “Actually they (a minority of Muslim supremacists that nearly define the term “toxic masculinity”) look at it much like the Greeks and Roman’s did: the guy getting it in the ass is gay, the guy sticking it in the ass is not.”
The fact of the matter is the large influx of Libyan immigrants, into Europe, has resulted in a huge increase in the gang rape of Non-Muslim women. This has been well documented, from London to Stockholm, despite the denouncement by globalist media. That is why Hungary, Italy, England and France are electing those that want this stopped. It is also largely why Trump won in 2016 and why England voted for Brexit. People feel that they are being invaded by fighting age Muslim men that ARE committing atrocities against Non-Muslim Women.
And my comparison of these Muslim Supremacists to Greek pedophiles is also accurate:
=====
The ancient Greeks did not conceive of sexual orientation as a social identifier as modern Western societies have done. Greek society did not distinguish sexual desire or behavior by the gender of the participants, but rather by the role that each participant played in the sex act, that of active penetrator or passive penetrated.[6] This active/passive polarization corresponded with dominant and submissive social roles: the active (penetrative) role was associated with masculinity, higher social status, and adulthood, while the passive role was associated with femininity, lower social status, and youth.[6]

And Child Marriage, pederasty and homosexual rape are common in many Muslim Countries. By no means am I saying all Muslims engage in this. But facts are facts as this article reports:
=====
Some Muslims are fond of condemning western morality – alcoholism, nudity, premarital sex and homosexuality often being cited as examples. But Muslims do not have a monopoly on morality. In the west, child marriages and sex with children are illegal. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for many Muslim countries.
I recently saw the documentary on the Dancing Boys of Afghanistan. It exposed an ancient custom called “bacha bazi” (boy for play), where rich men buy boys as young as 11 from impoverished families for sexual slavery. The boys are dressed in women’s clothes and made to dance and sing at parties, before being carted away by the men for sex. Owning boys is considered a symbol of status and one former warlord boasted of having up to 3,000 boys over a 20-year period, even though he was married, with two sons. The involvement of the police and inaction of the government means this form of child prostitution is widespread.
The moral hypocrisy is outrageous in a country where homosexuality is not only strictly forbidden but savagely punished, even between two consenting adults. However, men who sodomise young boys are not considered homosexuals or paedophiles. The love of young boys is not a phenomenon restricted to Afghanistan; homosexual pederasty is common in neighbouring Pakistan, too. In my view, repression of sexuality and extreme gender apartheid is to blame.
Child marriage and pederasty are tolerated in Muslim societies where homosexuality is strictly condemned (Sat 24 Apr 2010)

So that is my defense against FB accusing me of hate speech.
I am not condeming all Muslims.
I am not racist or Islamaphobic — as I do not condemn all Muslims on the transgressions of a few. Like Martin Luther King I do try to judge each individual by the content of their character.
But FB has no right to censor me for 30 days — past the Mid Term Election — because I bring up a few inconvenient facts.
(1) There are a minority of Muslim Men that rape young boys, but who do not see themselves as gay. Fact.
(2) Child Marriage, pederasty and homosexual rape are common in many Muslim Countries. Fact.
Suspending my FB account for 30 days over something I said a year ago is highly suspect. Why now? Why do I have no recourse to challenge the accusation?
I do understand why Kavanaugh was so angry when falsely accused of “rape” and “sexual misconduct.” And I am equally angry that FB is falsely accusing me of “hate speech” when that is not the case.
Instead of Russian influence in our elections what we really need to investigate, and resolve, is the attempts by Big Tech (Facebook, Google, Twitter, YouTube etc.) to influence the 2018 Mid-Term elections by censoring those of us that oppose their Globalist Agenda. Our republic cannot sustain itself if our 1st Amendment Rights continue to be under siege.
The very reason our founders made Free Speech — the first Amendment to the US Constitution — is because our republic is predicated on our right to freely discuss the issues of the day. If we continue to allow Globalist Big Tech to violate that right our republic is put in peril. The solution is obvious to me. All the Globalist Big Tech Platforms must be reduced to the status of utilities. And just like the phone utilities cannot censor what you say on the phone the Big Tech Platforms should no longer be able to censor what you say on thier platforms. There should be few exceptions and there must be a mechanism to quickly review and challenge any suspension from their platforms. If that does not occur soon it seems we either accept our slave status or revert to the 2nd Amendment. And I don’t EVER want to see it go there. It should not be necessary in a free society. But if Big Tech continues along this path there may be no real alternative. And that would be a sad day for our republic.
Let me emphasize our current plight with a quote from our first President, George Washington.
=====
“For if Men are to be precluded from offering their Sentiments on a matter, which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences, that can invite the consideration of Mankind, reason is of no use to us; the freedom of Speech may be taken away, and, dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep, to the Slaughter.”

I’m sorry but I have been trying to resolve this for the last 5 hours. The FB Techs hang up on me. And while I can see my FB page I am still suspended and unable to explain why this allegation of “hate speech” is an error.
In my 64 years I have never seen such an abridgment of our right to free speech. This should concern all of us. I have sent this message to a 3rd party so they can share it on FB. I encourage everyone that reads this article to repost this widely. What FB is doing is wrong and it must stop.
Free Speech is essential if we expect to continue to live in a Free Republic. This should concern everyone! Just saying.

Malaysian Court Sentences Man to Death for Distributing Free Cannabis Oil
A man in Malaysia was sentenced to death after giving medical marijuana to patients in need.
Published 3 weeks ago on September 4, 2018 By Nick Lindsey
Malaysia remains a potentially dangerous place to engage in anything related to medical marijuana. And that includes distributing it free of charge to patients who could benefit from it. Just last week, a man was sentenced to death for giving medical grade cannabis oils to patients in need.
Death Sentence For Distributing Medical Marijuana
On August 30, a judge in Malaysia sentenced Muhammad Lukman Bin Mohamad to death. The sentence came after the judge found Lukman guilty of breaking the country’s notoriously strict anti-cannabis laws.
According to local news sources in Malaysia, Lukman was arrested when authorities discovered just over three liters of cannabis oil. Additionally, he was found in possession of 279 grams of compressed cannabis.
All of this occurred in December 2015. Now, nearly three years after being arrested, Lukman received his sentence. Specifically, he was found guilty of breaking Malaysia’s Dangerous Drugs Act of 1952.
This law states: “No person shall, on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person . . . traffic in a dangerous drug.” Further, the law stipulates: “Any person . . . guilty of an offence against this Act shall be punished on conviction with death.”
Given that cannabis remains an illegal substance in Malaysia, the judge ruled that this law applied to Lukman’s case. Lukman is now being held in Kajang Prison. At this time, sources indicate that he plans to appeal the decision in the country’s Court of Appeal.
Guilty for Giving Medical Marijuana to Patients
Throughout Lukman’s case, his defense argued that his acts did not constitute drug trafficking. In particular, they focused on the fact that he was not distributing recreational drugs. Instead, defense lawyers argued, Lukman was distributing medicine to patients who might not otherwise be able to get it.
Further, the defense pointed out that Lukman was not making a profit. Lukman was in fact working in cooperation with an organization that educates the public on issues related to medical marijuana.
Lukman was not profiting from his distribution, either, since patients who could not afford the product were given it for free. In addition to all this, Lukman and his defense team pointed to the growing body of scientific evidence supporting the medical use of cannabis.
Despite all this, the prosecutors maintained that Lukman still broke the country’s laws prohibiting all forms of marijuana. They also claimed that although marijuana is increasingly accepted throughout the world, there is nothing in Malyasian law that allows for the medical use of cannabis.
One Of The World’s Worst Anti-Cannabis Countries
Malaysia has long had some of the world’s most heavy handed anti-cannabis laws. Most obviously, this reputation comes from the fact that a person can still be sentenced to death for breaking certain drug laws.
But Malaysia isn’t the only country where a person can be sentenced to death for possessing, distributing, or consuming cannabis. In fact, there are still a surprisingly large number of countries throughout the world with these types of laws in the books.
Along with Malaysia, this list includes countries like China, Egypt, Singapore, Myanmar, Philippines, Nigeria, and several others.

Marijuana Arrests Are Increasing Despite Legalization, New FBI Data Shows

Marijuana arrests are rising in the U.S., even as more states legalize cannabis.
There is now an average of one marijuana bust roughly every 48 seconds, according to a new FBI report released on Monday.
The increase in marijuana arrests—659,700 in 2017, compared to 653,249 in 2016—is driven by enforcement against people merely possessing the drug as opposed to selling or growing it, the data shows.
Last year, there were 599,282 marijuana possession arrests in the country, up from 587,516 in 2016. Meanwhile, busts for cannabis sales and manufacturing dropped, from 65,734 in 2016 to 60,418 in 2017.
The increase in cannabis possession arrests comes despite the fact that four additional states legalized marijuana on Election Day 2016.
While among those states, legal recreational sales were only in effect in Nevada by the end of 2017, the prohibition on possession for adults was lifted soon after the successful votes there as well as in California, Maine and Massachusetts.
“At a time when more than 100 deaths per day are caused by opioid overdoses, it is foolish to focus our limited law enforcement resources on a drug that has caused literally zero,” Don Murphy, federal policies director for the Marijuana Policy Project said in an interview.
“Actions by law enforcement run counter to both public support and basic morality,” added NORML Political Director Justin Strekal. “In a day and age where twenty percent of the population lives in states which have legalized and nearly every state has some legal protections for medical cannabis or its extract, the time for lawmakers to end this senseless and cruel prohibition that ruins lives.”
Overall, marijuana arrests made up 40.4% of the nation’s 1,632,921 drug arrests in 2017.
Drug arrests as a whole also increased last year, up from 1,572,579 in 2016.
There is now a drug bust every 19 seconds in the U.S.
