"Legalize It," Millenium Edition

Somehow I missed the original PBS viewing of this film in July, but I AM OUTRAGED! Why the DEA insists on wasting taxpayers' money persecuting innocent members of the indigenous nation now known as "America" is incomprehensible, although there probably are hands pulling the strings behind these puppets. If you're happy and you know it, plant your hemp!

"Standing Silent Nation" film screening

w/ Suree Towfighnia & Courtney Hermann
TUESDAY OCTOBER 23 7PM
at the IAC (International Action Center)
55 West 17th Street # 5C (5th Floor)
(just east of 6th Avenue) Manhattan/NYC

"Silent nation" is the Lakota name for the plants and grasses of the plains that sustained the buffalo herds, and later horses, which in turn sustained the people called "Sioux" (a term coined by would-be French colonizers).

…In hemp, the White Plumes found the perfect "silent nation" ally, a plant whose hardiness, utility and low cost had already been proven by the government, who encouraged its growth with its "Hemp for Victory" campaign during World War II.
…In a surprise attack at 6 a.m. on August 24, 2000, federal agents, armed with guns and weed whackers, chopped the plants down in the same manner they would use to eradicate marijuana. This event, and others that followed, raise a number of questions: Why did the government wait for the first crop to reach maturity before acting? Why did FBI and DEA agents raid the fields at daybreak with an array of armor and guns? Why have they continued to raid the White Plumes' land, even when the hemp grew back of its own accord, and to bring charges that could put Alex in prison for as long as 10 years? What lies behind the government's persistent objection to hemp?

Schroeder's compelling testimony contradicts
official story at every turn

Paul Joseph Watson, Prison Planet, Thursday, August 9, 2007
"People just come running out of the elevators on fire.... I was like what is going on here, something's up here - I mean the plane's up there now there's fire down here?"
... Schroeder's team was baffled as to why so much death and destruction was evident in the lower levels of the tower when the plane had hit so high up.
"It looked like a bomb went off in the lobby," said Schroeder.
... Schroeder also recalls the message that was broadcast in the south tower after the north tower had been hit telling workers to stay in the building.
"I heard that myself - stay home, stay home - so we're like who is this guy to tell anybody at this point in time - I mean from the first time we got to the west side highway we looked up and there was 30 floors of fire, you got another building right next to it with thousands of people in it - get 'em out! It's plain and simple here! Oh go back to work - yeah now they'll never go back to work," exclaimed Schroeder.
"I would like to know who that person was," he added.
Schroeder also slammed Rudy Giuliani for ordering the police to arrest the firefighters after they refused to stop digging for their buddies.
