I couldn`t give a rat`s patoot about what you think of Alex Jones or Jeff Rense. Still if raw facts (in opposition to spin and redundancy) and verified info doesn`t awaken you, do you stand even a fighting chance? More denial fodder, folks. Man, sheeple do not feed on worthwhile information, they graze on the opposite.
Rense interview of Alex Jones
They discuss a wide range of topics, First hour, they explain in "detail" the implications of the "Military Commissions Act of 2006"....
I'd like to hear from someone or anyone, with supported documentation that their explanations of this "New Law" are incorrect...
If what they have to say, doesn't give you cold chills, then you are already dead and just haven't stopped breathing yet...
This time bomb is ticking away like knowing what is about to happen in a horror movie... This is the true form of terrorism brought forth upon it's own peoples of Amerikkka, by those who were trusted to protect & defend the Constitution and Bill of Rights to the United States of America.

You do understand... we are the one "Industrialized Nation" which does not have an Agricultural/Industrial Hemp Program.
A renewable resource which would make "next to industructable clothing, softer than cotton", be able to fuel the "organic Nation`s" auto "fleet", and if you think the peanut was found to have hidden properties just check out the possible application of the seed, and stalk of Industrial Hemp. I promise it will astound you.
meanwhile...

Industrial hemp farming legislation introduced in Congress
********************/2xqh6l
02/14/07
For the second time since the federal government outlawed hemp farming in the United States, a federal bill has been introduced that would remove restrictions on the cultivation of non-psychoactive industrial hemp, according to Vote Hemp www.votehemp.com , a non-profit organization working to shift federal regulation of industrial hemp back to the USDA from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
Representative Ron Paul (R-TX) www.house.gov/ paul , is a chief sponsor of H.R. 1009
"Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2007."
"It is indefensible that the United States government prevents American farmers from growing this crop. The prohibition subsidizes farmers in countries from Canada to Romania by eliminating American competition and encourages jobs in industries such as food, auto parts and clothing that utilize industrial hemp to be located overseas instead of in the United States," said Dr. Paul. "By passing the Industrial Hemp Farming Act the House of Representatives can help American farmers and reduce the trade deficit- all without spending a single taxpayer dollar."
U.S. companies that manufacture or sell products made with hemp include Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps, a California company who manufactures the number-one-selling natural soap, and FlexForm Technologies, an Indiana company whose natural fiber materials are used in over 2 million cars, according to Vote Hemp. Hemp food manufacturers such as French Meadow Bakery, Hempzels, Living Harvest, Nature's Path and Nutiva now make their products from Canadian hemp.
Although hemp grows wild across the U.S., a vestige of centuries of hemp farming, the hemp for these products must be imported.
Health Canada statistics show that 48,060 acres of industrial hemp were produced in Canada in 2006. Farmers in Canada have reported that hemp is one of the most profitable crops that they can grow. Hemp clothing is made around the world by well-known brands such as Patagonia, Bono's Edun and Giorgio Armani.
Vote Hemp leaders say there is strong support among key national organizations for a change in the federal government's position on hemp.
The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) "supports revisions to the federal rules and regulations authorizing commercial production of industrial hemp." The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) has also passed a pro-hemp resolution.
Numerous individual states have expressed interest in industrial hemp as well. Fifteen states have passed pro-hemp legislation; seven (Hawaii, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Montana, North Dakota and West Virginia) have removed barriers to its production or research. North Dakota has issued state licenses, the first in fifty years, to two farmers so far.
Rep. Paul's bill would remove federal barriers and allow laws in these states regulating the growing and processing of industrial hemp to take effect.
"Under the current national drug control policy, industrial hemp can be imported, but it can't be grown by American farmers," says Eric Steenstra, president of Vote Hemp.
"The DEA has taken the Controlled Substances Act's antiquated definition of marijuana out of context and used it as an excuse to ban industrial hemp farming. The Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2007 will bring us back to more rational times when the government regulated marijuana, but told farmers they could go ahead and continue raising hemp just as they always had," says Mr. Steenstra.
The chief sponsor of H.R. 1009, the "Industrial Hemp Farming Act of
2007," is Representative Ron Paul (R-TX) and the nine original co-sponsors are Representatives Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Barney Frank (D-MA), Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), Jim McDermott (D-WA), George Miller (D-CA), Pete Stark (D-CA)
and Lynn Woolsey (D-CA)
