What if I told you that there was a piece of legislation that would:
(1) Defund all of the Mexican, Islamic and other drug cartels.
(2) Defund all of the local drug gangs
(3) Cripple the movement toward a centralized Globalist Government
(4) Reclaim the liberties lost in the wake of 911
And what if I told you that this legislation would minimally add 26.6
Billion dollars in revenue to the US economy: without the imposition of
any further taxation on the American people? And furthermore what if I
told you that this legislation could be implemented world wide, yielding
similar benefits throughout the planet?
Wouldn’t you be interested in learning more about it? Well then, please
take a seat and watch this entire video, because I’m going to describe
what that legislation would look like. And I will also begin to map out
a strategy that could implement this legislation before the end of 2009.
Let me be absolutely clear why I am producing this series of videos. The
primary purpose of this series of videos is to provide a global strategy
to Re-Legalize Marijuana Worldwide in 2009. In this second video I will
be giving a thorough overview of the only true solution to ending the
War on Marijuana: the MERP Model.
Since the first part of this series premiered on February 2nd, 2009 it
has been viewed by over 2,000 people in over 20 different countries. For
those that can’t read English I provide transcripts of each video, which
can be viewed in any of 40 languages.
I encourage you to distribute this link throughout the planet so that we
can win our first battle against the Globalists, by implementing the
MERP Model of Marijuana Re-Legalization Worldwide before 2009 ends. It
already appears that this is going viral across the internet and the
support for the MERP Model has been overwhelming.
In the first video I made it clear that neither Obama nor Congress have
any intention to Re-Legalize Marijuana without concerted pressure from
the American public. I then recommended 5 steps that groups and
individuals could take to begin pressuring our representatives to
specifically implement the MERP Model of Re-Legalization.
In this video I will give an overview of the MERP Model
What is the MERP Model?
MERP is really a one syllable contraction of the acronym MRPP which is
short for the “Marijuana Re-Legalization Policy Project.” For brevity I
will be using MERP from this point forward.
The MERP Model for Marijuana Re-Legalization is elegant in its
simplicity and can be succinctly described as follows:
“The MERP model of Marijuana Re-Legalization would minimally allow
non-commercial cultivation of unlimited numbers of plants, by adults above the age
of 18, without any form of government taxation, regulation or other
interference."
Under the MERP Model both Marijuana
Cultivation and Consumption are to be held as inalienable, sacred
rights. MERP does not preclude the issuance of commercial
licensing and taxation as long as such laws do not interfere with the
aforementioned protections for personal cultivation and consumption.
The structure of the MERP Model assures (1) the destruction of the
Drug Cartels, (2) free access to Medical Marijuana and (3) a
counterbalance to the loss of personal liberties following the
destruction of the World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001.
The MERP Model is really not significantly different than the way we
allow US citizens to produce beer and wine within our homes. Home beer
and wine production is neither taxed nor is it regulated. And many
activists need to be weaned from this false notion that the government
should get to tax everything. If they don’t tax your tomatoes or your
beer, why should they be allowed to tax your Cannabis?
But the MERP Model does not preclude the issuance of licenses for
commercial sale. Here is how it would work.
In the United States an ounce of high quality Marijuana sells for
between 300 to 500 dollars due to the risk that the growers and
distributors take to bring it to market. This is due to the fact that it
is illegal. But it only costs about 20 dollars per ounce to actually
grow an ounce of Marijuana using hydroponics and high intensity
discharge lamps. It’s basically free if you grow outside. So if you
could buy commercially grown Marijuana for 100 dollars per ounce many
people would not bother to grow it. But if the price of commercially
grown Marijuana was over 200 dollars per ounce most people would
probably decide to grow their own. By protecting the citizens
inalienable right to cultivate, without taxation or regulation, the MERP
Model effectively “self regulates” the market.
None of the moneyed organizations, such as MPP or DPA, currently support
the MERP Model as they tend to favor models that “tax and regulate”
Marijuana much like we tax and regulate “hard liquor.” They continue to
reject the MERP Model by saying support is still well below fifty
percent. But I no longer think this is actually true. 55 percent of
Canadians support complete legalization in 2009 and 58 percent support
now exists in California. Harris and Zogby polls under report because
they are based on surveys through landlines. Since many younger
Americans use “cell phones” their support is under reported. And just
like “hard liquor” there would be a very good chance that they would not
allow you to grow your own under their “tax and regulate” models for
Marijuana Re-Legalization.. And if you were able to grow your own the
government would probably insist on charging you a hefty annual license
fee to allow you such a privilege under these “tax and regulate” models.
It should be emphasized that the MERP Model has intrinsic advantages
over all the “tax and regulate” models that are promoted by these
“moneyed” organizations. For it is only by completely taking the profit
out of Marijuana that we can effectively defund both drug gangs and the
Mexican Drug Cartels that have now infiltrated 230 major cities
throughout the United States according to the Justice Department.
The MERP Model would also stimulate United States economy even if
everyone decided to grow their own.
According to a recent “60 Minutes” show, (Mexico: The War Next Door),
Mexican Drug Cartels bring in over $38 billion a year from the US” which
ends up in Mexico. In a recent CNN interview Attorney General Terry
Goddard stated that 60 to 70% of the Mexican Drug Cartel profits are
derived from Marijuana sales. But incredibly both he, and Anderson
Cooper, is against the Re-Legalization of Marijuana.
But let’s take a moment to do the math.
If 70 percent of the $38 Billion, in Mexican Drug Cartel profits,
originate from Marijuana then we are talking about $26.6 billion a year.
So by implementing the MERP Model we could keep nearly $266 Billion
dollars in the United States economy over the next 10 years. That
amounts to a quarter trillion dollars, in 10 years, which would remain
in the US economy producing both jobs and badly needed tax revenue. And
best of all it could be accomplished without raising another dime of
taxation on the American people. And that is exactly what the MERP Model
would accomplish.
The MERP Model also serves as a “Gatekeeper” drug. This is because
consumers would no longer need to go to local dealers that often sell
harder drugs such as Meth Amphetamine, Heroin and Cocaine. So it would
serve a “Gatekeeper” function by keeping consumers away from delers who
also sell these more dangerous drugs. This would lower the demand for
Heroin whose main source is now in Afghanistan, where Islamic Terrorists
use the profits to wage war against the non-Muslim world. So it is also
quite possible the MERP Model would help to defund Islamic Terrorism
throughout the planet. And since heroin is often injected through dirty
syringes one would also expect a reduction in new HIV/AIDs infections.
And finally the MERP Model would serve as a counterbalance to the
liberties lost with the passage of the Patriot Act and other
unconstitutional executive orders. Because once Marijuana is
Re-Legalized there would be no more excuses to do unreasonable searches
and seizures of your home, your car and your person. FISA surveillance
of your phone calls might uncover your Marijuana usage, but since it
would be legal they could do nothing with that information.
Of course there would be many other additional benefits that I don’t
have time to discuss at this time.
So what is it going to take to Legalize Marijuana under the MERP Model?
There are really two main things that need to be done in order to
implement the MERP Model in the United States:
(1) Take Marijuana completely off of the Federal Controlled Substances
Act (1970)
(2) Withdraw from all United Nation Drug Treaties or minimally refuse to
recognize any constraints concerning the cultivation, taxation and
consumption of Marijuana.
Other countries can take similar steps. For instance Great Britain has a
“Controlled Substances Act” almost identical to ours. The only
difference is we have classes 1-5 and they have classes A-E. But the
idea is the same: get rid of all legal restraints against the
cultivation, taxation and consumption of Marijuana.
If the US Congress can rob us blind in a week, through the passage of
the TARP stimulus plan on October 3rd, 2008, then they should easily be
able to implement the MERP Model in a matter of days. And if the Global
Elite can continue to bail out the banksters, that have literally
destroyed the global economy, then they can give up the corrupt stream
of Narco dollars that are currently propping up their international
banks. In a recent UN Report it was disclosed that the only thing
keeping the international banks solvent has been the laundering and
investment of illicit drug money.
The Global Emperors, that have promulgated 71 years of Marijuana
prohibition, have been exposed as both criminals and liars. And the
people of this planet are waking up. The War on Marijuana must be
brought to a quick and decisive end through the full global
implementation of the MERP Model.
This ends my brief discussion of the MERP Model and how it would work in
the real world. If you favor the MERP Model I highly encourage you to
visit the following link often to see how things are developing and to
get involved. I also ask that you send this link to as many people as
possible and include links to this graphic on your websites and social
networking web pages.
Above all else call your representatives weekly and tell them that if
the MERP Model is not passed by next November’s election you are going
to vote for someone else. Let the pressure build. Let the Drug War hit
the floor. Open the door for the beginning of a peaceful, prosperous New
Age that values the inalienable rights of every human on planet Earth.
Re-Legalize Marijuana as soon as humanly possible.
Please send the link to
activists throughout the planet. The translation bar should allow
this to be read in any language. The 5-Point Strategy for
Marijuana Re-Legalization should be easy to implement in any country
throughout the planet. I encourage all groups celebrating the
Global Marijuana March to make the immediate implementation of the MERP
Model a primary focus of the event.
Call President Obama and your Representatives and demand:
(1) Immediate clemency for Marc Emery and
(2) Immediate implementation of the MERP Model through an Emergency
Session of Congress, similar to what was used to pass the TARP Bailout
on October 3rd, 2008
