I have now been an expert on drug policy for over 20 years and what I’m about to tell you is only understood by a very few fellow activists. Most importantly what I am about to tell you will explain why Marijuana continues to be illegal and how we can Re-Legalize Marijuana in 2009 by focusing our efforts on the immediate implementation of the MERP Model for Marijuana Re-Legalization. Please distribute this information far and wide and read through the supporting documents at “MERP Headquarters.”
This video attempts to answer the following questions:
(1) What does Marijuana Prohibition have to do with Globalization? (2) Why Obama acts like he is dumb as a rock? (3) Why You Can’t Trust the Moneyed Drug Reform Organizations (4) Why MERP might really save the Planet
In order to destroy President Obama’s globalist plans for a Corporate “One World Government” it is absolutely essential that Marijuana becomes legal immediately under a model that does not tax or regulate the personal cultivation of Marijuana by adults over the age of 18. That is why I am asking that all of the 250 Global Marijuana protests, on May 2nd and May 9th 2009, endorse and force implementation of the MERP Model for Marijuana Re-Legalization before 2009 ends.
I am not going to waste time explaining the details of the MERP Model as I have already provided 3 videos to address this at the “MERP Headquarters” sub web of the www.NewAgeCitizen.com website. Everything you need to understand about the MERP Model is available, at MERP Headquarters, in English as a video, and in 40 different languages in transcript form.
(1) What does Marijuana Prohibition have to do with Globalization?
A recent 2009 UN Report admitted that the only thing sustaining the global banking system is the infusion of illicit drug money from terrorist organizations and drug cartels in countries such as Mexico and Afghanistan. This implicitly means that the Global Banking System and the Global Elite, including people like drug policy financier George Soros and President Barack Obama, have a vested interest in the continuance of drug prohibition: their profits and financial supporters depend on it.
(2) Why Obama acts like he is dumb as a rock?
In March Obama insulted the intelligence of the American people by saying that he didn’t think legalizing Marijuana was going to help “grow the economy” and reiterated that he would do nothing to expedite the legalization of Marijuana.
I predict that one day the phrase “dumb as a rock” will be replaced with the phrase “dumb as Barrack.” That is because Re-Legalizing Marijuana will immediately grow the economy. Barrack is dead wrong and cannot possibly logically support his support for continuing the Prohibition of Marijuana.
I say this because legalizing Marijuana under the MERP Model will grow the economy and will do so without the need to tax or regulate personal cultivation. And here is how this would work.
First we pressure Obama and Congress to convene an emergency session of Congress to implement the MERP Model by removing Marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act and withdrawing from all UN Drug Treaties. If Obama and Congress could rob us blind with the TARP Banksters bailout in October, 2008, surely this should not take more than 2 weeks to accomplish. Any Congressman that does not endorse these actions immediately will be voted out of office in 2010: the next big federal election. This will pave the way for the immediate Re-Legalization of Marijuana and similar initiatives can be pursued throughout the planet using a similar approach.
Once Marijuana is Re-Legalized under the MERP Model American citizens can start to grow their own and the Mexican Drug and Immigrant Smugglers will suffer a loss of 70% of their drug profits which currently come from Marijuana sales. Within months the Mexican Drug Cartels will suffer devastating revenue losses and will hopefully disappear from the face of the earth. At the same time 27 Billion dollars in Marijuana revenue will stay in the Untied States each successive year stimulating the US economy without the imposition of taxes or regulation.
Isn’t this better than “dumb as a rock” Barrack’s plan to wage an unnecessary war against the Mexican Drug Cartels? Don’t you feel insulted, being treated like a stupid stepchild by your president? Of course Obama is not really as dumb as a rock. He won’t Re-Legalize because he is in the financial pockets of the Global Elite. Furthermore his real reason to waste our “blood and treasure” on the Mexican Drug Cartels is to expedite the southern integration of the North American Union by “harmonizing” Mexican and US Military. And this could eventually mean that a corrupt Mexican Military could end up enforcing martial law against United States citizens on our very own soil. Is that really something you want to allow “dumb as a rock” Barrack to get away with?
(3) Why You Can’t Trust the Moneyed Drug Reform Organizations.
George Soros
Ethan Nadleman
Rob Kampia
Two of the most prominent drug reform organizations today are Rob Kampia’s “Marijuana Policy Project” and Ethan Nadleman’s “Drug Policy Alliance.” In point of fact most of the “moneyed drug reform organizations,” throughout the planet, are largely funded by George Soros who is only interested in a highly regulated and taxed model for Marijuana reform: what I would call a “hard liquor” model. Such models will not stop the Cartels, the Gangs, nor will such models stop the arrest of nearly 900.000 American Citizens each year. And none of Soros’s drug reform organizations will even consider the merits of the MERP Model which would destroy the Cartels and stop the criminalization of vast numbers of American citizens. I don’t believe that any of Soros’s drug reform organizations are “honest brokers” of drug policy and I urge that you don’t give another dime of support either organization. They are sell-outs to true drug reform.
(4) Why MERP might really save the Planet
Of course anyone that is conversant with Marijuana reform knows of Jack Herer, author of the groundbreaking book on Marijuana reform, “The Emperor Wears No Clothes.” I first met Jack in 1989 at the Hash Bash in Ann Arbor. In succeeding years I always used to kid with him about his assertion that Hemp could save the planet. His argument was that hemp could replace most petrochemical products with much safer and sustainable Cannabis substitutes – and there is certainly much truth to that argument.
My argument is that the immediate Re-Legalization of Marijuana under a “no tax, no regulate” model, such as MERP, would save the planet by pulling the economic rug out from under the global elite that continues to profit from illegal drugs, petrochemicals, genetically modified food control and war. And interestingly George Soros, the major backer of moneyed drug reform groups, such as DPA and MPP, has major investments in the war mongering Halliburton and the Carlyle Group, as well as Monsanto. Halliburton and the Carlyle Group have both profited and promoted unnecessary wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Monsanto is attempting to control the world’s food supply through the use of genetically modified plants that bare no heirloom seed. And this, to me, is the ultimate crime against nature, going well beyond the issue of Re-Legalization. Soros is also in favor of a open borders, global corporatism, gun control and highly taxed and regulated Marijuana. Soros is not an honest broker of the drug reform most people want to see and neither are the groups that he supports.
So it all comes down to this. Do you want to continue to support Soros’s “moneyed drug reform organizations” that will never go further than a “hard liquor” model where you will pay through the nose for highly taxed and regulated Marijuana. Or do you want to begin to support a “beer and wine” model, such as MERP, where you will be able to grow your Cannabis for free and never have to worry about drug cartels invading your neighborhoods or drug enforcement agents invading your homes.
I hate to inform you. But we are at the very same place we were before the First American Revolution and there is no time left. You must immediately decide whether you are going to remain free or become indentured slaves of the “New World Order” which both Soros and Obama are attempting to foist upon us. That is why neither Soros nor Obama will support true Marijuana Re-Legalization. It is getting in the way of their plans to enslave us. The MERP Model is just one plank of the “New Agenda for America” which might also be called the ultimate “Anti-Globalist” agenda. Please visit my website, www.newagecitizen.com, often to see how you can help change the course of human civilization, beginning with the Re-Legalization of Marijuana under the MERP Model. And Re-Legalization, under MERP, is only the first step in our transition to a more peaceful and sustainable world where national sovereignty and individual freedom are both preserved and enhanced. And frankly isn’t this the change you wanted in the first place?
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A bloody war between Mexican drug cartels is no longer solely a south-of-the-border problem, members of Congress said Tuesday at a hearing on the issue. A member of the Mexican Federal Police patrols in Ciudad Juarez during a recent operation to fight drugs.
The violence accompanying those battles has crept into the United States, and is believed to largely be fueled by money and guns pouring over the border from America, said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Illinois.
"The drugs are coming north, and we're sending money and guns south," said Durbin, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Drugs. "As a result, these cartels have gained extraordinary power."
About 90 percent of guns seized in Mexican raids are traced back to the United States, according to the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, he said. About 2,000 firearms cross the border into Mexico daily, according to the Brookings Institution, he added.
The subcommittee held a joint hearing Tuesday on the issue with the Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control. The hearing focused on ways the United States can assist Mexican President Felipe Calderon's efforts to combat drugs and violence.
In addition, American communities are seeing an increase in violent crimes related to the Mexican drug trade. In Phoenix, Arizona, in 2008, 366 kidnappings for ransom were reported -- more than in any other U.S. city, Durbin said, citing federal statistics. The vast majority of those, he said, were related to Mexican drug cartels.
"We're not winning the battle," Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard told lawmakers. "The violence that we see in Mexico is fueled 65 to 70 percent by the trade in one drug: marijuana."

Goddard said he believes the United States can do more to remove the profit from such operations, as well as attempt to reduce the demand for the drugs.
It's not only border states that are being affected, either. Authorities believe the cartels have reached into 230 American cities, up from 50 in 2006, Durbin said. In his home state of Illinois, far from the Mexican border, he said, cartels are believed to be operating in three cities: Chicago, East St. Louis and Joliet.
Lawmakers and witnesses at the hearing universally applauded Calderon's efforts to deal with drug violence through actions such as sending troops into Ciudad Juarez. "I think he needs every single bit of our support," said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California.
However, the violence has skyrocketed, Goddard said, with a new and appalling trend: assassinations of police officers, prosecutors and other officials who are combating cartels.
Perhaps even more horrifying, as the violence increases, so does the possibility that innocent citizens will be caught in it, he said. In at least one instance in Phoenix, criminals making a home invasion had the wrong house, he said.
"The casual fallout is going to be significant if we can't do something to try to assist Mexico in stopping it south of the border," Goddard said.
Efforts by Arizona authorities to fight the violence include intercepting wire transfer payments to smugglers of drugs and of human beings, Goddard said. Between 2003 and 2007, he said, Arizona seized about $17 million in such transfers.
However, a more comprehensive and regional effort is needed, he said, as the cartels, faced with increasing law enforcement surveillance in one area, will simply take their crimes somewhere else.
And authorities must target the masterminds and leaders behind the violence, he said: "Just arresting and deporting foot soldiers is a waste of critical assets."

(AP Photo/Miguel Tovar) (CNSNews.com) - The violence caused by drug cartels along the U.S.-Mexico border might not be as serious a national security concern as the war in Afghanistan, but it is a threat that calls for adequate resources, personnel, and perhaps military force, lawmakers said last week.
More than 6,000 people were killed last year in drug cartel-provoked violence, and in January 2009, another 1,000 were killed, according to the U.S. State Department. Some of that violence is spilling over into U.S. cities along the border with Mexico. On Feb. 25, more than 700 drug-cartel members operating in the United States were arrested.
Concerning the violence and national security options to protect Americans, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson (R-Texas) said that the U.S. government is working with the Mexican government to combat the drug cartels.
As for sending in U.S. troops to secure the border, she said: “I think the issue of military on the border has to be looked at very carefully. I’m not ruling it out, but I’m not ruling it in either – nor has Mexico asked for that.”
Hutchinson and other lawmakers spoke with CNSNews.com on March 11, day three of the 19th Annual Legislative Conference of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, held in Washington, D.C.
Hutchison noted that Mexico has not asked the U.S. military for assistance, and lawmakers say that as long as that is the case, American forces should not be assigned to carry out objectives that Mexico can handle on its own.
“They’re not going to ask for it – they have capabilities themselves,” Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) told CNSNews.com. “We need to respect each other’s sovereignty.”
But the U.S. should ensure that border security agencies have the resources and personnel necessary to protect the border, Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) told CNSNews.com.
“A nation without borders is not a nation, as Ronald Regan said,” noted Pence. “We need to make sure our security personnel have the resources – including aircraft – that they need to maintain border integrity and advance our border integrity.”
During a hearing of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security on March 10 – while the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce event was occurring – Rep. John Culberson (R-Texas) referred to the U.S.-Mexican border violence as an “undeclared war” that warranted “a true, fast-action military force that can move up and down that border on the U.S. side.”
At the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce event, lawmakers told CNSNews.com that they agreed the United States is in an undeclared war but that the war is with the Mexican drug cartels, not with Mexico itself.
“It’s not an undeclared war with Mexico, it’s an undeclared war against drug dealers and drug lords,” said Hatch. “Mexico has as great an interest – in fact, even greater – than ours in ending that type of dominance down there.
“It’s important for us to realize our friends to the south in Mexico are important to us and we’re important to them,” he said. “We ought to be able to work together to stamp out this kind of criminal activity.”
Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-Calif.) also said at the March 10 hearing that the U.S.-Mexico border violence is a greater national security concern than the war in Afghanistan. On Wednesday, legislators told CNSNews.com that while both issues are significant security threats, it is difficult to rank them.
“They’re both security threats,” Afghanistan and the Mexican border, “so I’m not prepared to weigh them one against the other,” Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.) told CNSNews.com
“I think that might be somewhat of an exaggeration,” Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) said in response to Lewis’s claim. “But that’s not to underestimate the significance of the dangers associated with that kind of violence.
“I’m not sure there are any easy solutions, but I’m confident that there are solutions with the right kind of leadership and resources,” she said.
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) referred to the drug trafficking threat as “an existential threat to the government of Mexico.”
Both McCain and Lieberman said the Homeland Security committee in the Senate will be holding additional meetings on border security in the coming weeks, both in Washington, D.C., and in Phoenix, Ariz.
Last month, CNSNews.com cited a Government Accountability Office report that said the Department of Homeland Security had built only 32 miles of double-layer fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border out of the 700 miles originally mandated by an act of Congress in 2006.
In December, the U.S. Justice Department reported that Mexican drug cartels had become the greatest organized crime threat to the United States, saying drug-trafficking operations are functioning in more than 230 cities across the United States.
The global financial crisis is partly caused by economic crime. Last week, at the eighteenth session of the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, UNODC Executive Director Antonio Maria Costa said that "bankers have allowed the world's criminal economy to become part of the global economy." He added that "the financial crisis is providing an extraordinary opportunity for even greater mafia penetration of cash-strapped financial houses: with the banking crisis choking lending, these cash-rich criminal groups have emerged as one of the few sources of credit."
In keeping with the public mood for tighter regulation, international treaties like the United Nations Convention against Corruption and the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime can help States to fight fraud, financial crime, corruption and money-laundering while rebuilding trust in the financial system. UNODC, together with the World Bank, can also help poor countries recover stolen assets through the Stolen Asset Recovery (StAR) initiative, which fosters cooperation between developing and developed countries and between the public and private sectors, to repatriate looted assets and eliminate safe havens for dirty money.
Everything is connected, including crime Economic fraud goes hand-in-hand with identity-related crime. The spread of information and communication technologies has compounded the problem. States are increasingly concerned about the potential for offenders to obtain vast amounts of information by hacking computers and by committing other forms of cybercrime, which has become a billion dollar business and is increasing exponentially with more than 1 billion Internet users in the world today. Identity-related crime is also linked to other activities involving organized crime, terrorism, corruption and money-laundering. Identity-related abuses can be used to evade detection and prosecution and to prevent the tracing and forfeiture of proceeds of crime.
For many countries, identity-related crime as an offence is still a new concept so more needs to be done at the national level to strengthen legislation and close the loopholes exploited by criminals. "ID-crimes must be recognized as stand-alone offences, as we do for cybercrimes," said Mr. Costa. What is required is prevention, prosecution and protection to assist victims of such crimes. Developing countries need assistance to monitor threats, identify criminal activities and disrupt suspicious transactions. At the global level, a common approach to the criminalization of identity-related offences will facilitate cooperation in law enforcement and the sharing of information on crime trends.
Cooperation between the public and private sectors is also vital for understanding the various dimensions of the problem and for taking effective measures against the phenomenon.
[Note: I am no great admirer of LaRouche, however, this video does shed some interesting light on Soros's background and lack of ethics. Quotes by Soros are obviously spoken by someone else.]
Nadleman: "The best way to deal with this is to "tax and regulate Marijuana. Take it out of the criminal justice system."
Colbert: "Tax and Regulate? That is just liberals all over. Tax and Toke Liberals. I can't believe this is all about taxes for you now. You used to be all about the weed. You have sold out. We don't need Americans burgeoning dope industry burdened with regulation. The free market should determine what constitutes "primo" bud."
