Respect for Nature: No GMO

“If Nature doesn’t do it, people shouldn’t do it.” is the essence of Respect For Nature. Responsible stewardship of the #NaturalOrder requires humility in the wake of incomprehensible millions of years of evolution.

What’s known for certain is that all life systems are connected. Tinkering with genetics just because we can and some people want to, is wildly irresponsible, dangerously stupid & completely unnecessary. Disrespecting Nature disrespects what many people refer to as “God.”

There is no rightful authority that can violate the Natural Order without trespassing on the spiritual rights of people who recognize the inherent wisdom & sanctity of Nature, even though others may not give any value to “spiritual externalities.”

Compromising the integrity of systems poorly understood, upon which everyone’s wellbeing depends now and into the future, is a fundamental attack against all life on Earth.

Humanity teeters on the brink between nuclear annihilation & irreversible systemic collapse, precisely because we have failed to respect Nature in favor of profit, control, & convenience. There’s always a price to pay for convenience. Our children will likely be paying that price, on a debt being racked up by their parents.

Race to Armageddon

I’ve been wondering for decades, which of the apocalyptic threats humans have been creating will be the first to manifest global annihilation, extinguishing all life from this planet; And, how much more time may we have left to make a difference, if it’s not too late already.

As it is, we may not have too much longer to wait before we find out. The race to extinction between nuclear holocaust and non-linear extinction level events seems closer than ever.

There’s the war in Ukraine, with nuclear sabers rattling, ominously mobilizing & strategically repositioning.

In the meantime, the threat of irreversible systemic collapse looms ever larger as environmental conditions deteriorate and wildlife disappears.

Combining mankind’s environmental terrorism with unbridled armed conflict results in sudden, unpredictable realities, like melting clathrate deposits in the Arctic, and methane gushing from the Nordstream pipeline.

Genetic modification is poisoning the food chain at fundamental levels, as scientists pretend to understand the integrated systems with which we are being experimented upon.

“If #Nature doesn’t do it, people shouldn’t do it.” is the essence of #RespectForNature.

Responsible stewardship of the #NaturalOrder requires humility in the wake of incomprehensible millions of years of evolution. What’s known for certain is that all life systems are connected.

Tinkering with genetics just because we can and some people want to, is wildly irresponsible, dangerously stupid & completely unnecessary. Disrespecting Nature disrespects what many people refer to as “God.”

Compromising the integrity of systems poorly understood, upon which everyone’s wellbeing depends now and into the future, is a fundamental attack against all life on Earth.

Before the #Cannabis #hemp industry is polluted with GM cultivars seeking to control the multi-trillion dollar energy market, people must begin to

“Just Say No!” to #GMhemp, before we are awash in genetically modified seed, corresponding chemical inputs & toxic pollen.

There’s only one way to replenish Earth’s atmosphere with aerosol terpenes in the time we may have left to make a difference…

Responding to the UN FAO Food Security & Nutrition Forum’s Open Call (1)

“What are your experiences in the use and application of the CFS Principles for Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems (CFS-RAI) for improving food security and nutrition?”

###

My experience, over the past twenty years that I’ve been offering practical suggestions in the UN FAO’s FSN forum regarding application of the CFS-RAI has been dominated by consummate frustration in having offered time-limited solutions to actively destabilizing, compounding global problems, without seeing a proportionate, timely response to rapidly worsening conditions.

The ‘Tree of Life’ Solution to Global Extinction

Solutions are simple. It’s the problems that are complicated. But time is running out for any measures that might work.

Uniquely effective, essential and painfully obvious solutions to systemic imbalances have been subjugated, overlooked and internationally ignored for decades. A very small “window of opportunity” for healing this planet is getting smaller, closing at an accelerating rate. Collapse of the entire human social order could come at any minute with the intentional or accidental exchange of nuclear missiles.

Collapse of Earth’s integrated natural systems could likewise come at any second; in unforeseen, “non-linear extinction level events” that we’ve been warned of repeatedly by the IPCC, since 2014. (2)

Global governance seems entranced in rote repetition of entrenched, extinctionistic economic patterns, propping-up status quo illusions of toxic value; wielding impacted, obsolete, dysfunctional & degenerate control systems; rather than initiating timely, innovative, uniquely effective, responsible, coordinated global action to address dangerously unstable human economic & natural systems.

To rebalance mankind’s extreme conditions of essential resource disparity is only possible if we use the singularly effective, biogenic strategy that works with Nature to heal natural systems in the time we may have left to make a difference. (8)

Time is the limiting factor in the equation of survival. Time is the only thing we can’t make more of. Time is the NFT of the 21st century.

With the catastrophic deaths of 50% of the world’s boreal forests and marine phytoplankton in the past seventy years, Cannabis hemp has become mankind’s functional interface with the Natural Order that sustains all life on Earth.

Working with Nature to heal Nature is not optional. Doing the right thing too late achieves the same undesirable, extinctionistic result as doing the wrong things will.

Humanity has precious little time left to fix what we’ve broken. It’s 2022; it’s not 1975 anymore. There is no time left to waste, no room for error, and no time left to delay a global, organic agricultural campaign to heal Earth’s atmosphere of increasing solar UV-B radiation.

Ignoring the most obvious course of action with the greatest possibility of success has yielded no viable alternative strategies, either agricultural or technological. Biogenic, “Gaiatherapeutic” (i.e. Earth-healing) strategies that offer some possible, realistic chance of succeeding in resolving the most fundamental threats to all life on Earth in the time we may have left to make a difference are still not being discussed. COP 26 excluded hemp from the UN Climate Conference, as though we have time to be snobby about solutions.

Time, money and Human Resources are being squandered as people and institutions in positions of influence continue to steer us all toward irreversible, violent systemic collapse, before the middle of this century.

By the time “cascading systems failures” become obvious they will become irreversible. Multiple time-lags & inertial feedback loops obscure awareness of unknowable “ripping points” of recovery, which will have long passed before they are recognized in tragic retrospect.

Economic inertia clouds governance, continuing to perpetuate humankind’s primitive disrespect of natural systems, long after the breakdown in systemic functionality has been revealed by atmospheric monitoring data & empirical observations.

FACT:

There is only ONE federally-recognized “strategic resource” that yields BOTH complete nutrition and clean energy from the same organic harvest; in more countries, in less time, providing more essential nutrition, environmental benefit & organic agronomic services than any other crop. Why has this plant been banned for eighty-five years, rather than being grown “any where” as George Washington advised? (10)

At the same time, hemp heals Earth’s atmosphere, soil, water, air and wildlife; it can be used to phytoremediate demineralized, contaminated, irradiated, compacted & eroded soils.

A non-invasive pioneer crop that produces complete nutrition & clean energy from the same organic harvest in many countries around the world, in a very short span of time; Cannabis is uniquely qualified to expand Earth’s arable base and increase the carrying capacity of this planet.

In addition, there is only ONE agricultural resource that produces the enormous volume of atmospheric aerosol terpenes that is needed to replenish Earth’s stratosphere with aerosol terpenes, following the catastrophic deaths of the world’s boreal forests and marine phytoplankton, that used to produce twice the volume of terpenes they do now. Terpenes block the increasing solar UV-B radiation that’s “UV-Broiling” the planet at twice the levels and frequency of occurrence compared with levels that used to shield the Earth from the Sun just seventy years ago.

It is madness to stubbornly ignore the only solution there is when it is so obvious. Willful institutional ignorance continues to delay public awareness of the true, unique & essential natural value of Cannabis hemp. It would be especially sad if institutional recalcitrance turns out to be the cause of mankind’s extinction.

As Bill Gates scatters chalk dust from a hot air balloon (5), and mirrors float in space (6), while sulfur missiles are shot at the sky (7), human disrespect for Nature continues to afflict mankind’s social evolution, threatening national security in every country with “additional disputes” predicted after 2030. (4)

Born into an illogical trajectory, we are currently aimed at, and precariously close to, achieving unpredictable global conditions leading inevitably to extinction.

Spring planting season 2022 is upon us. Coordinating every country’s military personnel and coordinated infrastructure, from armies to farmers, means distributing hemp seed to every farmer & home gardener on the planet.

A polar shift in values is needed immediately. Hemp must be recognized as being urgently essential, not illegal. It is the fossil fuels, nuclear energy and military industrial economies that are toxic to Mother Earth. “Reefer Madness” continues to mischaracterize Cannabis hemp, wounding our perceptions of value, a barrier build on fraud, obviating mankind’s realization of our shared desire for world peace.

Absent a timely, proportionate global response, “non-linear extinction level events” will punctuate our continued decline into environmental disintegration and escalating, violent upheaval in the human social order.

Everyone’s best chance for survival depends on all people everywhere understanding the unique and essential value of Cannabis hemp — immediately!

For everyone’s children to inherit a peaceful, livable 22nd century, this Spring 2022 perhaps it might help to consciously, objectively identify Cannabis hemp as fulfilling all of the properties attributed to “the Tree of Life which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” ~ Revelation 22:2 (3)

Open Letter to Senators Wyden & Merkley, Congressman Bentz and the People of Oregon

I look forward to talking with Senator Wyden this afternoon, at the upcoming town-hall meeting for Jackson County, Oregon:

“Operationalizing Climate Security” March 18, 2022 beginning at 4:30 PM PST.

The following is my reply to a public participation form for the Town Hall Meeting this afternoon. (5)

“Specific Question you would like to ask about”:

Will you please meet with our broad-based coalition of Cannabis hemp industry leaders, to discuss the accelerated, federal emergency preparedness protocol “essential military and civilian demand,” for the “strategic” herb bearing seed””of first necessity to the wealth and protection of the country” & planet?

Essential Rationale:

FACT: Cannabis is the only crop that produces complete nutrition and clean energy from the same organic harvest. At the same time, hemp produces atmospheric aerosol terpenes and oxygen, as it sequesters & sinks carbon in durable, recyclable goods; healing Earth’s atmosphere, soil, water, air & wildlife. Increasing solar UV-B radiation is a national security threat that is being overlooked.

Because we are not growing hemp for seed & stalk in Oregon, we are food & energy insecure.

Whatever people depend upon for those essentials now, may not be available very soon for a variety of reasons. Climate change, supply chain disruption, fuel shortages are all increasingly likely to impose hardships that are responsibly addressed through regional, organic agricultural production.

Likewise suppression of the hemp animal feed industry by undemocratically self-empowered groups like

the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) is counter productive to the requisite, proportionate, immediate, global response to the present lethal threats posed by increasing solar UV-B radiation.

It is patently absurd to cripple production of vegan feeds when current industry feeds are known to contaminate wild fish populations & Earth’s hydrology with increasingly anti-biotic-resistant biological pathogens, along with the persistent pharmaceuticals used in aquaculture.

Such obstruction must be overcome by necessity & reason. Cannabis has been on this planet for 35 million years. If there were any real dangers associated with the plant we would have some record of it by now. There is none.

Please help eliminate arbitrary & capricious bureaucratic limitations being imposed on the one crop that can do what most needs to be done.

Several years ago, I gave my book “Cannabis vs. Climate Change” to your administrative assistant, Ree Armitage. I have not yet heard whether you have received it or not. A full explanation of this rationale can be found there. (6)

Thank you for all you’ve done for Oregon & the United States of America. I truly appreciate your service & great works.

###

Expanded reasoning:

None of us have ever known truly “free market economy.” The world’s most valuable, god-given agricultural resource has been banned and its market potential suppressed for 85 years. To initiate a truly free agricultural market before this Spring planting season is a matter of urgent National Security.

You are probably already aware that during times of responsible, coordinated emergency preparedness (as we are surely experiencing now) Cannabis “hemp” has been federally recognized, in seven Presidential Executive Orders, as a “strategic food resource” since 1942; available by “essential civilian demand” (EO 13603, EO 12919, CFR 44, etc).

Arbitrary, extinctionistic, THC limits on industrial hemp are crippling Earth-healing, “Gaiatherapeutic” industry, undermining Oregon’s food & energy security & environmental integrity. Will you please consider joining us in immediate exercise of “essential civilian demand” before Spring 2022, so we don’t miss another growing season?

###

I live in Ashland with my teenaged son. I have worked internationally, participating in the Cannabis industry for more than 30 years.

In addition to the exercise of “essential military and civilian demand” for hemp, there are other equally urgent matters I feel it is my patriotic duty to comment upon in clear & unrestrained public discourse, while it is still possible.

Vaxx Mandates

I’ve voted as a Democrat for decades, but I am leaving the party because of vaxx mandates.

I feel it is my responsibility as a father, an Oregonian, & global “Citizen of the World” to take the opportunity you have provided in pointing out that my faith in & loyalty to this party has been pushed beyond the limits of tolerable governance.

Vaccine mandates are an abhorrent violation of individual sovereignty, personal health and responsible parenting.

If the Democratic Party persists in this obvious attempt to stampede the public, against the science, more civil unrest & perhaps a civil war could be the result. Forced experimental medical procedures are a violation of the first tenet of the Nuremberg Code.

The FLCCC Alliance of COVID care clinicians doctors, Robert Kennedy Jr., Bret Weinstein, Kim Iverson, Senator Johnson and others have been censored by mainstream media for speaking out about life-saving alternatives such as, ivermectin, the Nobel Prize-winning antiparasitic drug, taken by millions of people. Lives have been lost because this drug was withheld. Who is responsible for that?

We are being herded into dangerously experimental, untested mRNA injections and we know it. You call them “vaccines” but they are not truly vaccines. Thousands of people have died and been injured by the vaccines. Look at the VAERS numbers and tell me this procedure is “worth the risk” of preventing something I’ve already had & recovered from.

VAERS - Vaccine Adverse Event Reports, through March 4, 2022, there

have been 25,158 deaths attributed to worldwide.

My faith in & loyalty to this party & this government has been pushed beyond the furthest limits of morality. Vaxx mandates are Corporate Authoritarian coercion. I will never accept an unproven, dangerously invasive medical procedure, approved under accelerated, unscientific protocols. To even suggest it is an is an attack on Liberty, at its most fundamental. Individual responsibility for my health & the health of my family & friends & community has been under assault by the Democratic administration. I’m sorry I voted for it.

The Freedom Convoys in Canada and the US are patriotic examples of Constitutional rights that people throughout our nation’s history have died to protect.

What happens when people’s concerns are not addressed & individual liberties respected? Civil unrest leading to polarization & civil war. Do you not see that’s where we’re headed?

While there may be some who object to my view & my Constitutional right to express my opinion, the compliance & irrational fears of others can have no bearing whatsoever upon what I think the right choice is. I don’t believe much of what we’ve been told, even if others fall for it. I see the censorship. I recognize authoritarian overreach when I see it.

I feel it is in the best interest of everyone to be totally candid regarding what we’ve all just been through. Every perspective has value. If I’m wrong, please explain how my thinking is flawed.

My perspective is that we were all born into a dysfunctional system and we’re just trying to make the best of it. But the dysfunction and imbalance continues to get worse. Rather than blame someone for what’s happening I think it more productive to be honest about the fundamental flaws we have all been forced to perpetuate, often against our will. Specifically, I’m referring to mankind‘s addiction to fossil fuels.

It is simply ignorant to think continued investment in toxic industries is acceptable. No matter what we have to regard fossil fuels as poison and illuminate them from the global market true development of clean energy alternatives.

Fortunately for us a biogenic alternative exists. The solution to Climate Change environmental degradation and food insecurity and endless war. A solution exists but it’s not being recognized for its true value. Even though it’s been Federally recognized as a “strategic resource” it’s not been treated as critical to national security, which it is.

The reason for this does not make sense, does not hold water, does not pass the smell test. And yet a flimsy, obsolete lie dreamt up by a Nazi spy & his racist corporate conspirators, right before WWII. The impact of that espionage continues to determine the quality of life on this planet for you and me and everyone‘s children & grandchildren.

I am asking you to help me help you help everyone. The precedent for essential civilian demand was initially set by “essential military demand” during World War II. In 1942 the war department insisted that President Roosevelt re-introduce hemp agriculture back into American rotations for the war effort. Then is now Cannabis is a strategic resource. Today the enemy is irreversible systemic collapse of environment economics in the social order. President Obama signed executive order 13 603 in March 2012. In that order as in six other presidential executive orders having to do with emergency preparedness hemp was recognized as a strategic resource. What’s notable in Obama‘s executive order is that essential military and civilian demand are referenced as an accelerated federal protocol for coordinated mobilization and access to those strategic resources. In consideration of national security and global integrity. I am asking you to help me initiate Essential military and civilian demand. Through cooperative efforts we can achieve energy independence and food security whereas now we are both food insecure and energy addicted to foreign imports. Illuminating THC limits on industrial hemp will allow for the scale of production necessary to produce all of our energy needs through biodigestion Avenue hemp stocks. Cellulosic hydrogen biodigested from hemp stocks is the most efficient way to turn sunlight into usable energy for the greatest number of people in the shortest span of time. The truth is if we couldn’t use cannabis hemp for one thing we still have to grow its rich environmental services.

Cannabis is the only crop that produces the volume of atmospheric Aerosol Terpenes needed to block the solar UV-B radiation, that’s increasing. Unless mankind recognizes the deadly threat of “UV-Broiling” in time to mitigate harms resulting from the loss terpenes, the window of opportunity will close on our ability to make a difference.

Time is the limiting factor in the equation of survival. Time is the only thing we can’t make more of. Time is the unknown factor. We don’t khow how much time we have left to affect healing of earths atmosphere soil water air and wildlife. But we must begin.

I gave a copy of my book, “Cannabis vs. Climate Change” to your assistant, Ree Armitage, several years ago. I’ve not heard whether you have read my book or understand the relationship between hemp agriculture and climate change.

I trust that great leaders such as yourself will follow good advice. And that you will consider this advice for what it’s worth to all of us. I invite you to contact me directly if you care to understand further but as Frederick Douglass said in 1857 “Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never has and it never will.”

I am asking your help in initiating “essential military demand” by repurposing the military to distribute hempseed throughout Oregon and the rest of the United States, and the rest of the world; so that all may avail themselves of the essential nutrition and clean energy that is yielded from the SAME organic hemp harvest. Hemp is unique in this!

At the same time carbon credits, oxygen credits and atmospheric aerosol terpenes credits must be built into the economic structures so that hemp can compete on a level playing field, against toxic resources currently occupying positions of dominance in the market.

We’ve never known a truly free market. The world’s most useful agricultural resource has been banned for most of our lives.

At the moment, the multi-trillion dollar hemp industry and the thousands of meaningful jobs it could generate, are being suppressed by “The Great Lie of 1937”; that THC is “bad” for the human body. Arbitrary THC limits on industrial hemp are a threat to national security because they inhibit responsible, “strategic,” emergency preparedness.

“[Cannabis] in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substance is known to man.” ~ Administrative Law Judge Francis Young, 1988

We all possess an Endogenous Cannabinoid System that requires cannabinoids and other components within the Cannabis plant, to function properly, keeping our bodies in systemic balance. Creating essential resource scarcity, inducing malnutrition & food insecurity, and eliminating Earth-healing alternatives to fossil fuels is infinitely more harmful and destructive to our species, our communities & this planet than any conceivable threat — real or imagined — posed by THC.

It is in the best interest of our country to invite a free agricultural market, inclusive of Cannabis hemp. Multi-trillion dollar opportunities exist in coordinating agriculture, manufacturing, processing and distribution of Cannabis-based fuels, food, fiber products, tree-free paper, vegan animal feeds, biodegradable plastics, safe & effective herbal therapeutics, superior super-capacitor graphene energy-storage material, hempcrete, hemp wood, resins, paints & varnishes, biogenic pesticides, and many many many more valuable commodities.

The truth is, if we couldn’t make one thing out of Cannabis we’d still have to grow it for environmental services, everywhere we can, as fast as we can and just pray that it’s not too late to heal Earth’s atmosphere.

Soldiers are the ones called to fight wars-for-oil. When it becomes common knowledge throughout the world that there is an available, inexpensive, “Gaiatherapeutic” alternative to fossil fuels, then soldiers will no longer have to sacrifice themselves in unnecessary, Gaiacidal, geopolitical struggles for unevenly distributed, toxic, finite energy resources. The military can & must be repurposed to distribute & plant hemp. Time is running out. We don’t have time to fight amongst ourselves. We must cooperate globally to heal our Mother Earth.

While soldiers occupy the military, their children & extended families are civilian. It is in the best interest of the soldiers’ families to provide for our national security of their families, by initiating Cannabis agriculture in every region of the country. Responsible leader ship in our military must be invited to recognize the strategic value of hemp as a source of complete nutrition and abundant energy.

Fighting wars for oil that further degrades the quality of life on this planet with every barrel burned is obscene and unnecessary. I would just ask that the recent Department of Agriculture announcement assigning $1 billion to development of climate agriculture be applied to cannabis agriculture in recognition of the unique and essential environmental services Cannabis offers this country and other countries throughout the world.

I trust that you will help to initiate “essential military and civilian demand” before the Spring planting season of 2022 which is upon us. We can’t afford to waste another growing season without the benefits that help is uniquely qualified to provide.

Please take the time to consider contemporary exercise of a central military and civilian demand of a “strategic” “herb bearing seed” “of first necessity to the wealth and protection of the country” and the planet. Cooperation with the demand is infinitely more productive and efficient than refusing to respond which has been the case up to this point.

In 2012 I spoke face-to-face with Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack at a Townhall meeting in Weaverville California. I told him about the increasing UVB radiation and asked him if he understood why hemp was uniquely qualified to mitigate it.

He told me at that time that he did not. But he made no effort subsequently to investigate this critical threat to national security any further. I feel that our demand is legitimate and urgently essential. It is everyone’s responsibility to provide food security and environmental healing for themselves and their families.. Please meet with me to discuss what we must do to avert and unthinkable future for everyone’s children.

Thank you for your consideration I look forward to hearing from you soon.

“The Deadliest Lie”

“THC is dangerous.”

With that simple, traitorous notion, eighty-five years of warped social evolution imposed itself upon humankind in a so-called “drug war.” Earth-healing “Gaiatherapeutic” industry was obviated. Institutional fraud contaminated the integrity of the Natural Order through “Gaiacidal” Earth-killing disrespect for Nature.

Skewed values & unaccountable morality bent people into global conflict. Environmental atrocities became commonplace. Some people’s bottom-line was elevated above everyone’s quality of life.

Concern for future generations was thrown onto the same heap as “environmental externalities” — which for decades had ceased to really matter…until now.

In the eight-and-a-half decades following passage of the “Marihuana Tax Act of 1937” in United States, the deadliest lie ever told has been responsible for more death, suffering, illness & poverty than all wars combined.

While the “drug war” continues to rage on against “marihuana” [sic] with deadly force, most of the death & destruction attributable to Cannabis prohibition is the result of THC limits imposed on non-psychoactive, low-THC food, fuel & fiber crops collectively referred to as “industrial hemp.”

The world’s most useful, nutritious and strategically significant agricultural resource was banned from American farms under the influence of racist, Nazi-sympathizers in American government and industry, two years before Hitler invaded Poland.

America’s first “drug czar” was Harry Anslinger. There is ample historical evidence to suggest that Anslinger was a Nazi operative.

With the help of his fellow-racists, including newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst and wealthy industrialist Andrew Mellon (Anslinger’s father-in-law), they whipped up national fears & antipathy toward Cannabis, wielding bald-faced racism & fraud.

”Mellon’s wealth was tied up in…the Aluminum Corp. of America. ALCOA’s trade with the Nazis, through a cartel with I.G. Farben, sabotaged U.S. military access to aluminum. In 1943, anti-fascist journalist, George Seldes, said ALCOA was “largely responsible for the fact America did not have the aluminum with which to build airplanes before and after Pearl Harbor, while Germany had an unlimited supply” (Facts and Fascism, 1943). In 1941, Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes had warned: “If America loses the war it can thank the Aluminum Corporation of America.” (13)

In 1942, President Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9280 brought Cannabis “hemp” back into the service of national defense, as a “strategic resource.” The U.S. War Department initiated the “Hemp for Victory!” campaign without concern for dangers, real or imagined, about THC.

After the war ended, competitive market influence & political advantage favoring fossil fuels & logging removed industrial hemp from farms, fields, laboratories in many countries, obviating a truly “free market.” Despite the fact that better quality paper can be made from hemp, at a fraction of the cost; most of the world’s boreal forests (that provide invaluable environmental services), have been cut to make inferior quality paper products; that require seven times more toxic chemicals to make.

Over the past eighty-five years, several generations throughout the world have suffered sub-optimal health from inadequate nutrition and degenerating living conditions. Ravaged by ignorance, unnecessary illness and pain, life has been cut-short for untold numbers of people, suffering under global, essential resource scarcity, imposed before we were born. Many people suffer so that a few can live in obscene opulence.

As toxic industrial practices became acceptable, and “Gaiacidal” industries filled the niche that would otherwise have been occupied by Earth-healing, “Gaiatherapeutic” Cannabis, direct and indirect consequences of a so-called “drug war” against the world’s most nutritious and healing herb, continue to impact the health & well-being of every creature on Earth.

First came “Reefer Madness,” the notoriously absurd film that poisoned public sentiment against Nature’s finest ally in both farm and field.

Racist lies whipped-up fear & hatred. Law enforcement was used as a weapon by toxic industrial competitors to justify the war on “marijuana.”

With Nixon, it became the “War on Drugs” used to fragment, infiltrate, and undermine entire subcultures, using spies, hard drugs & misinformation to corrupt institutions, create black market economies, violate civil liberties, generate obscene revenue, industrializing punishment throughout the global economic system.

By imposing enforcement of ridiculously low THC limits on industrial hemp, “The Deadliest Lie” continues to criminalize organic agriculture, wielding bureaucratic interference and expensive approval to deadly effect.

The unfree market we were born into was essentially institutional slavery. Until now we were kept ignorant of the best alternative to fossil fuels. We had no choice but to buy Gaiacidal products. In spite of the political rhetoric, truly fair market competition has never existed in our lifetimes.

In the so-called “free world” wealth disparity, corporate government corruption, environmental imbalances, market instability, soil infertility, farmer suicides…can all be traced back to the door of “Drug War HQ.”

Cultural amnesia had all but eliminated knowledge of hemp seed nutrition until Jack Herer’s book, entitled “The Emperor Wears No Clothes” reintroduced Cannabis nutrition and hemp history back into global awareness. As science explores the integrated complexities of Cannabis as a functional element essential to the proper function of our Endogenous Cannabinoid System, parallel value is being realized in determining the integrity of Earth’s Natural Order.

Now that the true, unique and essential values of hemp have become common knowledge throughout the world, there is no excuse for willful ignorance being afforded to obsolete notions. THC limits on industrial hemp must be eliminated before this Spring planting season. Fertile seed must be distributed to every farmer & home gardener on Earth. The military in every country must be repurposed, from armies to farmers. That is the only way mankind will have any chance of survival.

The military will have to choose, soldier by soldier, to side with either survival for this planet & their families or to blindly follow warmongers to global extinction.. Perhaps instinct will inspire soldiers to think like mothers & fathers before they doom us all to endless suffering.

“Essential military and civilian demand” for hemp is provided for in Obama’s Executive Order 13603. It’s time to coordinate military & civilian defense in every nation. Soldier’s families are civilians. The interests of both are served by ending wars-for-oil and other bad habits associated with and attributable to the lingering vestiges of Cannabis prohibition.

Increasing UV-B radiation is the result of boreal deforestation and catastrophic plankton losses. Hemp is the only crop that can replenish Earth’s atmosphere with the aerosol terpenes needed to block increasing “Global Broiling” by solar UVB radiation.

Instantaneous electronic communication combined with a crystal clear perception of values, affords our species the immediate ability to slam the brakes on wars that will inevitably lead to global extinction. As soon as human values are aligned with peoples desire for peace, and a clear path to survival; then the warmongers’ accounts can be electronically frozen. The future does not exist for the obsolete value system funding war.

Now that a better, functional alternative is available and known throughout the world, the pivotal, polar shift in values can redirect our social evolution in the time it takes for everyone in the world to read this sentence.

Obsolete values threaten the future of this planet. As extinction looms in our sickly, violent century, it is time to “think outside the bong about Cannabis”before we run out of the time that’s needed to make a difference.
