Your view against the RE-Legalizing of Marijuana shows your complete ignorance on the issue. It’s obvious you’re just a kiss ass for the CCPOA, a group that has spent MILLIONS to destroy conservatism in CA, yet you support these Constitution Killers.

Marijuana was a STATES-RIGHTS issue up until FDR, the Socialist, made it illegal Federally in the year 1937 with his Democrat controlled Congress.

You cite ridiculously inaccurate facts to state your case and I ask you this.

Is it NOT BETTER to have a system that both follows our 10th Amendment States Rights to be allowed (SC Justice Clarence Thomas sided against your radical PRO-BIG GOVT VIEWS) BUT ALSO prevents the drug cartels from running the marijuana business in CA, because the folks that would take control would be folks that are law-abiding – which will LOWER the number of police officers killed, lower the death of citizens caught in gangster gun fights and like – and I like how you used tobacco and how the taxes from cigarettes pay for health care costs (which they should, btw) as some sort of strawman excuse for PROHIBITION, which is far worse than legal products.

It’s obvious you don’t know a single thing about the drug war, US GOVT corruption that allows drugs to get here, etc. and it’s amazing someone with your lack of understanding on such an issue doesn’t know this stuff. Perhaps you lack the REAL PREPARATION needed for the job you seek.

These laws are GOING to change whether BIG GOVT socialists who follow FDR’s views like it or not. It’s just a damned shame Republicans like yourself lack the intelligence to make a realistic decision. It’s obvious you’ve been either paid off by the CCPOA, or have had GOVT PROPAGANDA “spoon-fed” to you all your life to where you lack the reasoning skills to see the ENTIRE picture.

It’s a damned shame when a Republican advocates for the “BIGGEST GOVT FORM THERE IS”…that being the prison cell. Trust me, on my broadcasts (viral and TV), you will be mentioned as a coward prohibitionist “SUCKER” for US propaganda…

Have a nice day as you promote the LOCKING UP or our fellow citizens for no real reason, and just so you know, TOM McCLINTOCK is against the war and against ALL drugs at the Federal Level, which shows you’re out of date and bounds when it comes to freedom.

You simply lack the intelligence or again, you’re bought off by a DEMOCRAT UNION, which in my opinion is a sign of crookedness. So enjoy your time as a coward to the Democrat Unions and US GOVT PROPAGANDA you sucker.

the reviews on amazon are another problem of ignorance
just because the CIA says that Warren was recruited because he is competent an knowledgeable about muslims and arabes is laughtable
the book script is also laughtable
the author don’t know a thing about the so called “civil war”
even if it’s fiction he make the archenemy is an alliance of Touaregs and the FIS (AIS)(islamic army for salvage)”soory if it’s a strange name”
first the AIS was created later and second portraing the Touareg as bloody intergrist is laughtable
because there is no one less knowlageable about religion and praticing animalisme ,shamanisme & witchraft than the touaregs and they handlaboor is a taboo in their culture (yes yes i’m sure about that , they only do administrative business or touristique guide jobs)
to resume it all warren don’t know a damn about algeria and the terrorisme decade “1990-1999″ (even algerians are uncertain about that periode let alone a foreigner )
and the womem in question are involved in the case (why the scandal timing is now when the USA governement have changed )
this i let it to fellow americans to figure it out

The debate SHOULD centre on the concept of harm and whether this can be quantified.

If it cannot, then all drugs should be legalised and criminals who commit crimes while intoxicated and addicted treated more harshly.

This would be the fairest way since harm to the public would then have manifested itself in criminal behaviour and thus become objectively measurable.

And Victorville’s Christy is just as bad.

Hey Stout, remember me? The next time I catch one of your goons tagging me on your behalf …

And Stout, you really need to lay off the sauce. It is written all over your face.

It seems our govt. exists solely to pour out insane billions of dollars for over-priced stuff that the greedy entities charge so much more for than most people can afford! So the people who “can” afford it are driven broke by insane prices, and the people can can’t afford it have the difference paid by our govt!

Best I can tell this includes MANY other things, like housing, rental property, etc…

But the fact is we can’t build a higher tower by stealing the blocks from the foundation and lower levels.

Disclosure: I am a big fan of Gene Sharp and his books.

It seems obvious to me that the Powers that Be (to use Walter Wink’s term) will use whatever strategy and tactics that may support their narrowly conceived self-interest, including strategic nonviolence.

I am a little surprised that the the Powers now seem to understand that strategic nonviolence is extremely powerful.

The big question, for me, is the extent to which nonviolence can or cannot be used for nefarious purposes. In the past, nonviolence has always depended upon the commitment of those using it. Therefore, historically nonviolence has only been useful as a tool of the people and against the Powers that Be.

It may be possible to use nonviolence by paying the participants, but I don’t know of anyone having tried this. What we have so far experienced is some funding of training by outside forces, but the masses of the participants have been motivated by their own commitments. This, it seems to me, is a very good limit on the extent to which the Powers that Be can pervert nonviolence toward nefarious purposes. Regardless of the (possibly evil) intentions of the outsiders, the participants are acting out of their own interests.

A former investigator with the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office is the target of a criminal investigation.

Recently retired D.A. Senior Investigator Candette Hammond is accused of perjury.

News Channel 3 has confirmed Sheriff’s detectives handed over the case just days ago to the Palm Springs Police Department.

Candette Hammond is not under arrest tonight. But, she soon could be. And, dozens of criminal cases this DA investigator took part in her years of service are now in question.

According to internal affairs reports obtained by News Channel 3, Hammond first came under suspicion in 2006. Her immediate supervisors at the DA’s office concluded she made up an entire interview while investigating a criminal case.

They brought the matter up to then Chief Deputy District Attorney Eileen Hunt. When Hunt told District Attorney Rod Pacheco about it, she claims in a recent lawsuit Pacheco told her “don’t disclose anything.” The DA’s office denies this ever happened, calling Hunt a disgruntled ex-employee.

Hammond targeted former District Attorney Investigator Luis Bolanos for investigation. The State Attorney General’s office arrested him in 2005 for domestic violence and perjury.

After losing his job, and his livelihood, a judge determined the case against Bolanos should have never seen the light of day.

Bolanos speaks out, “There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that because of Rod Pacheco, and his directions, there are individuals in custody right now that do not deserve to be there. For this man to supervise and direct, I could be sitting and talking to you in jail right now. Now, who would have listened to me then?”

We interviewed Olga Bates May of 2007. She knew Bolano’s ex-wife. Bates says the DA’s office ignored her when she told them the ex-wife admitted lying to her about the charges and the gifts she received from Hammond.

“I was interviewed by two FBI agents and they were amazed that after my letter of complaint to the District Attorney about Candette’s investigation and her behavior, that no one bothered to talk to me from that office,” said Bates.

The District Attorney’s office discounts Bolanos as another disgruntled ex-employee.

David Downing is a former prosecutor and now a superior court judge. He testified in support of Luis Bolanos to get his named cleared.

Downing later claimed the DA’s office tried to commit the act of “witness intimidation” against him. They call Downing’s words “irresponsible.” The DA’s office claims Downing is yet another supposed disgruntled ex-employee.

The Sheriff’s Department in Palm Desert handed over the Candette Hammond case to Al Franz with Palm Springs Police because much of the alleged perjury happened in that city.

The fate of dozens of criminal cases handled by Investigator Hammond now hang in the balance. But, Bolanos says his life is already ruined.

“I lost the ability to care for my kids. I haven’t been able to take care of my kids for the past 5 years. Destroyed me. That’s what Mrs. Hammond means to me.”

News Channel 3 received a response late Friday afternoon from John Hall at the DA’s Office. It reads: “The District Attorney’s Office has no comment on this inquiry.”

Prohibition laws make marijuana more accessible to underage people than alcohol. That might be a good thing, however unintended.
