"The Long Arm of Uncle Sam A growing number of U.S. crimebusters are operating in B.C. in a cross-border crackdown

The U.S. Attorney prosecuting three Canadians in the cross-border drug tunnel case will ask a Seattle judge next week to seize the B.C. property on which the tunnel was constructed.

A court order would mean the little piece of Canada on Zero Avenue would be surrendered to the U.S. government if property owner Francis Devandra Raj is convicted on trafficking charges, regardless of whether individuals or banks in Canada have an outstanding claim on the Langley land."

R -- SECURITY FOR TRANSPORTATION OF BULK MARIJUANA: "THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE.

Potential sources are sought to provide security for transportation in Arizona of bulk quantities of marijuana for destruction. Individuals working under this requirement shall be qualified to legally carry weapons and able pass a DEA background investigation, as well as have experience providing security for transportation of sensitive items. The work to be performed will be the loading of multi-ton quantities of marijuana at a secure site, providing protection and security enroute to the destruction facility, offloading multi-ton quantities of marijuana at the destruction facility, and providing security until all the marijuana is destroyed.

DEA Seeks Private Guards To Ship Pot

It's hard for me to say just exactly what I think of this idea. From a law-enforcement angle it's arguably one of the stupidest goddamn things I've ever heard of in my life, but then thats what I live for..... OTOH, from an angle of putting the weed on the streets and back with the people who want it and pay for it because it's their right as human beings to smoke whatever the fuck they want to, even if it kills them, then this is probably a good thing.

DEA Seeks Private Guards To Protect Traveling Tonnage of Pot

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is recruiting private security forces to load, transport and unload "multi-ton" shipments of seized marijuana en route to destruction in Arizona. It's conducting what is known as a "sources sought" inquiry to determine the availability of commercial firms that can provide on-call deployments of armed contractors to protect these bulk transports of pot."

Letters alarm pot-seed buyers (Emery Update)

"'I feel like my rights as a Canadian are being violated. Who runs our country -- Canada or the U.S.?'"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And I've no doubt they are being violated. The problem is, why isn't the government saying something about this new assault on Canada soveriegnty? Or is the government and/or the RCMP involved in this Tandy-led attempt at Americanization? I don't know. It seems to me that our Liberal politicians at least are sufficiently enlightened enough to know that using a little Reefer hysteria to to tug at the heart-strings of Canadians isn't going to fly. So who would actually allow those Texas redneck creeps to put grubby little paws on our citizens? Who or what is behind these blatant violations using our own police forces? Is the government really letting the RCMP do this?

Look. We understand that many people in our society grow up feeling the need to be important,to be looked up to before they are able to function in a acceptably social manner. Fine. So we let them be police officers. Now they can drive fast and shoot guns while laying on the siren so everyone will be sure to see.....legally. Everybodies happy. But hey...... when they start turning on our own citizens, then they've taken our good will, not to mention the public's trust, and turned it into betrayal.

Whoever is behind the interception of mail, the recording of names, and now the attempted sting of Canadian citizens, all because an American troglodyte doesn't think other Americans should be allowed to move out of their caves, is nothing short of a goddamn traitor to the country. Certainly, if not brought up on charges themselves, they most definitely need to lose their job. And it would probably be a good idea to look into their past and see what this person (or persons) has been up to in the recent past because anyone who would do something this blatantly un-Canadian over pot seeds is cabable of doing far more damage. They would almost certainly go to much greater lengths towards violating the soverignty of Canada if, God forbid, they should deem something to be really offensive. And given the (ahem)gravity of the "Great Pot-Seed Caper", God only knows the lengths such a person might go to if they were, shall we say, "seriously disturbed"?

New Abuse Photos Could Spark Riots, US General Warns

More Evidence of War Crimes.

I keep telling you people who are sticking by Bush,"Get away from him!". You are going to get burned badly. Your children are going to be so embarrased by your beliefs now that they will have to lie to their friends about you. It's not a matter of if, it's when. Turn now while you still have a reasonable excuse.
