4/20: Hitler was high, Weed, Columbine (video)

VICE News; TODAY; History; Pfc. Sandoval, Seth Auberon, Crystal Q. (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Happy Hitler's birthday (4/20). Apparently, that's why the Columbine school shooters went off. Is it also why potheads all over the planet like to puff away right at 4:20 in the afternoon and all day April 20th? Maybe. Hitler was high most of the time, but mostly on the terribly-addictive methamphetamine strain of drugs, given to him legally by his doctor. Of course, when you're "furher," most things you do must be legal in the eyes of a go-along-to-get-along population ("Little Eichmanns"), like our own citizenry today.

 

Hitler was high during most of WW II says Norman Ohler
(VICE News, HBO) There are many wrong things considered "common knowledge" about Hitler. He was vegetarian (he wasn't but Goebbels painted him that way to make him seem superhuman in the Aryan/Vedic/Buddhist mythology about chakravartin world rulers he borrowed), partial to the toothbrush mustache (like many men in Germany at the time, which made him wholly commonplace then and only stands out now), a failed fine artist (he studied art and was not good enough to make a career of it, so he entered the military and liked the authoritarianism), and a Nazi despot responsible for the reprehensible, systematic oppression of minorities and the promotion of white supremacy (like many groups today, including the US government, which took in and employed many Nazis after the war). What has only recently surfaced is the assertion that Adolf Hitler was also high off his face -- on methamphetamine and more -- for the entirety of World War II. As was most of the Third Reich. That’s according to the book Blitzed by Norman Ohler, the international bestseller that’s been translated into 26 languages. VICE News

How to jack pot prices WAY up in a few steps


(VICE News) The plan is working. This is how capitalism works (Das Kapital). First, let everyone open a shop. Then the big boys will come in and buy up all the small fish that can't turn a profit. That drives out all the small fish who are willing to wait for things to get profitable. In the meantime prices get really low. But in the end, a few monopolizers will buy up or drive out everyone else. The few corporations left standing THEN cooperate to drive up prices. It's the way gas (petroleum) markets are manipulated for maximum profiteering. "Disaster capitalism" comes in when production is artificially reduced to justify increases in prices. The "magic of the marketplace" won't save the day because it's just too profitable to cheat. Companies would rather drive up prices so that all the conglomerates make obscene amounts of money -- just as with banking, managed medicine, corporate health care, and nearly everything else under the US's form of capitalism. Other countries do not allow capitalism to operate this way. (There is more than one type of capitalism? There sure are!) But what about the tax-free black market competition? It's all part of the plan:

Black Market Pot: police away the competition


Celebrating 4/20 with London's pot fanatics

(VICE) All across the world capitalist governments are rethinking their attitudes towards the criminalization of cannabis. Yet in Britain, fusty politicians terrified by a video of Jon Snow losing his mind on super-skunk weed are refusing to free the weed, uncurb the herb, or liberate the oregano dream pipe. Vice went along to Hyde Park to join London's most ardent marijuana advocates for their annual 4/20 celebrations, which in 2017 doubled as a protest rally for those who want cannabis to be legalized. Vice caught up with Big Narstie, watched the police make an array of arrests, talked to some activist-stoners, and saw an Eric Cartman bong.

Why is Washington the District of Columbia?

Why is US capital Washington named the "District of Columbia"?

Very few people in the United States know why our federal government is named the "District of Columbia." A "district," like district attorney, is a subset of a greater whole. So what greater whole is the District of Columbia a part of that has the president, the Congress, and Supreme Court under its jurisdiction? And why the name "Columbia," an ancient Greek goddess, instead of another C, such as "Columbus"? The answers are very disturbing to all who assume we are free sovereign beings in a free country. We are anything but. Music by Drew Cummings.

Moviemaker Michael Moore on "Occupy"

#OWS is a leaderless, people-powered movement for democracy launched on Sept. 17 in the NYC financial district inspired by the Egyptian Tahrir Square uprising and Spanish acampadas. We vow to end monied corruption of our democracy.

Michael Moore: "This past weekend I participated in a four-hour meeting of Occupy Wall Street activists whose job it is to come up with the vision and goals of the movement.

"It was attended by 40+ people, and the discussion was both inspiring and invigorating. Here is what we ended up proposing as the movement's 'vision statement' to the General Assembly of Occupy Wall Street:



We envision: [1] a truly free, democratic, and just society; [2] where we, the people, come together and solve our problems by consensus; [3] where people are encouraged to take personal and collective responsibility and participate in decision making; [4] where we learn to live in harmony and embrace principles of toleration and respect for diversity and the differing views of others; [5] where we secure the civil and human rights of all from violation by tyrannical forces and unjust governments; [6] where political and economic institutions work to benefit all, not just the privileged few; [7] where we provide full and free education to everyone, not merely to get jobs but to grow and flourish as human beings; [8] where we value human needs over monetary gain, to ensure decent standards of living without which effective democracy is impossible; [9] where we work together to protect the global environment to ensure that future generations will have safe and clean air, water and food supplies, and will be able to enjoy the beauty and bounty of nature that past generations have enjoyed.

• The next step will be to develop a specific list of goals and demands. As one of the millions of people who are participating in the Occupy Wall Street movement, I would like to respectfully offer my suggestions of what we can all get behind now to wrestle the control of our country out of the hands of the 1% and place it squarely with the 99% majority.

Here is what I will propose to the General Assembly of Occupy Wall Street:

10 Things We Want
A Proposal for Occupy Wall Street
Submitted by Michael Moore
1. Eradicate the Bush tax cuts for the rich and institute new taxes on the wealthiest Americans and on corporations, including a tax on all trading on Wall Street (where they currently pay 0%).

2. Assess a penalty tax on any corporation that moves American jobs to other countries when that company is already making profits in America. Our jobs are the most important national treasure and they cannot be removed from the country simply because someone wants to make more money.

3. Require that all Americans pay the same Social Security tax on all of their earnings (normally, the middle class pays about 6% of their income to Social Security; someone making $1 million a year pays about 0.6% (or 90% less than the average person). This law would simply make the rich pay what everyone else pays.

4. Reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act, placing serious regulations on how business is conducted by Wall Street and the banks.

5. Investigate the Crash of 2008, and bring to justice those who committed any crimes.

6. Reorder our nation's spending priorities (including the ending of all foreign wars and their cost of over $2 billion a week). This will re-open libraries, reinstate band and art and civics classes in our schools, fix our roads and bridges and infrastructure, wire the entire country for 21st century Internet, and support scientific research that improves our lives.

7. Join the rest of the free world and create a single-payer, free and universal health care system that covers all Americans all of the time.

8. Immediately reduce carbon emissions that are destroying the planet and discover ways to live without the oil that will be depleted and gone by the end of this century.

9. Require corporations with more than 10,000 employees to restructure their board of directors so that 50% of its members are elected by the company’s workers. We can never have a real democracy as long as most people have no say in what happens at the place they spend most of their time: their job. (For any U.S. businesspeople freaking out at this idea because you think workers can't run a successful company: Germany has a law like this and it has helped to make Germany the world’s leading manufacturing exporter.)

10. We, the people, must pass three constitutional amendments that will go a long way toward fixing the core problems we now have. These include:

• a) A constitutional amendment that fixes our broken electoral system by 1) completely removing campaign contributions from the political process; 2) requiring all elections to be publicly financed; 3) moving election day to the weekend to increase voter turnout; 4) making all Americans registered voters at the moment of their birth; 5) banning computerized voting and requiring that all elections take place on paper ballots.
• b) A constitutional amendment declaring that corporations are not people and do not have the constitutional rights of citizens. This amendment should also state that the interests of the general public and society must always come before the interests of corporations.
• c) A constitutional amendment that will act as a "second bill of rights" as proposed by President Frankin D. Roosevelt: that every American has a human right to employment, to health care, to a free and full education, to breathe clean air, drink clean water and eat safe food, and to be cared for with dignity and respect in their old age.

Let me know what you think. Occupy Wall Street enjoys the support of millions. It is a movement that cannot be stopped. Become part of it by sharing your thoughts with me or online (at OccupyWallSt.org). Get involved in (or start!) your own local Occupy movement. Make some noise. You don't have to pitch a tent in lower Manhattan to be an Occupier. You are one just by saying you are. This movement has no singular leader or spokesperson; every participant is a leader in their neighborhood, their school, their place of work. Each of you is a spokesperson to those whom you encounter. There are no dues to pay, no permission to seek in order to create an action.

We are but ten weeks old, yet we have already changed the national conversation. This is our moment, the one we've been hoping for, waiting for. If it's going to happen it has to happen now. Don't sit this one out. This is the real deal. This is it.

Parenting a Columbine school shooter

Survivors and their families have been left wondering about the boys' parents in the decade since the 1999 shootings. "You know, I always wondered how she felt and what she went through. 'Cause I know I went through a living hell, and I was always sure she did, too," Michalik told the AP. Michalik, who has never met Susan Klebold, said reading the essay answered some of her questions about the Klebold family. "I applaud her for the courage to talk about this."

Why "Shooting Rampages" Happen

EXCLUSIVE WQ INVESTIGATION

(Good Friday, April 10, '09) -- A man goes berserk. He suddenly murders a group of people then turns the gun on himself. It's a standard news story. It's happening with increasing frequency. It comes out of the blue, terrifies viewers, and is almost always followed by a news reporter's solemn, "Neighbors say he was a quiet loner."

• TOMORROW'S NEWS: Easter shooting rampages kill 12
• TODAY'S NEWS: Shooting reported at NWF State College
• Observances mark 1-week since Binghamton shootings
• Dutch shooting rampage leaves 1 dead, 3 wounded
• Shooting at South Mountain Community College, Phoenix
• College student killed
• Latest shooting in local market worries other Flint store clerks

There is a theory put forward (as documentable fact) that the reason for this is anything but accidental. Stuart Swerdlow, a one time government guinea pig, explains that government, military, and extrajudicial agents regularly engage in "mind control" experiments. Their larger effort is to provoke panic, fear, and worry. In a sense, it is controlled terrorism. A well controlled populace is a terrified populace. Acts are random, unpredictable, and hint at a sinister unpredictability about life.

• 2 students dead in Michigan college apparent murder-suicide

While each case may have its own back story, the larger reason for it is the same: control. Swerdlow was himself the subject of many "mind control" experiments. He has knowledge of covert operations and states that once a post-hypnotic suggestion is implanted in a subject, there may be little to no memory of it for decades. It is activated by various means. One interesting conjecture is that the "meaningless" gibberish" in mass spamming campaigns that annoy computer users around the world are attempted triggers.

• Student shoots 3 in Greek college, kills himself

While, of course, this may all seem far fetched and impossible to swallow, no other comprehensive explanation for the phenomenon has been put forward. Yet, the news reports keep rolling in, one more bizarre than the other. And the phenomenon is not limited to the US or even to gun use. War can't explain all the reports.

• Suicide blast kills 5 US soldiers, 2 Iraqi police

But the network media never tires of reporting US War in Iraq casualties, the need for a "surge" in troops headed to Afghanistan, and what American-made "predator drones" are doing in provincial Pakistan. There also seems to be no lessening in the latest play by play in Israel, Pakistan, and the West Bank -- for decades on end. And the new twist? Why, it's right next door due to Mexican drug "gangs" and "sleeper cells" infiltrating our porous borders. Quick, burn your copy of the Bill of Rights! Anything to keep us safe!

• Police execute woman with baby after high speed chase

These stories come so quickly and furiously, one hardly remembers them a week later. The links to the stories so far are just in today's news. Last week a young man opened fire in a college of all place. But of course, that's just about every week now.

• Priest runs over churchgoers on Good Friday in Pa.

Why the rash of shootings?

• Details of college student's shooting start to come to light

Schools, or anywhere instigators might presume we'd otherwise feel safe, seem to be a particular target. There are too many examples to mention. Whether it's children (e.g., Columbine), churchgoers (Missouri), women (Baton Rouge), foreigners (VA Tech massacre), or bus passengers (beheaded and cannibalized), and so on, it's happening more and more. If we do not know why these "inexplicable" events take place with regularity and using the same M.O., how can we come to grips with them or ever hope that they become a thing of the past?

• Stores Running Out of Guns and Bullets

If it's happening on purpose, what could the instigators, mind-controllers, and post-hypnotic suggestion activators have in mind? A police state (for our safety and the safety of our children, of course)? Martial law? A nominally "free" country without dissent or civil liberties? 1984? Endless war and, maybe a second coming to save us from ourselves? There was that staged Alien Invasion being talked about -- a pretext to instigate full control. Why? Here is a short, understandable explanation set to a very simple song:
