Where do 53% of your Tax dollars go?

I don’t usually get into politics; however this presentation really sums up an important issue that is causing great harm to many human beings around the world, crippling the US economy, robbing families quality of life and our reputation as a global citizen. Whoever you vote for, I would like to ask you greatly consider their position on the wars and spending most of our collective treasure on so called “defense”. The world is no safer from these psychopathic economic priorities & policies. Please make this an important issue in your decision, try not to get caught up only in the topics the candidates wish to discuss. At the bottom is a clip from my new favorite series, I typically do not watch TV but really enjoy The Newsroom: The Complete First Season. Thanks for your attention! ~EROCx1

U.S. Arms Sales Tripled In 2011 To $66.3 Billion
From: The Huffington Post
Date: 08/27/2012

Worldwide weapons sales by the United States tripled in 2011, according to a new report by the Congressional Research Service.

U.S. arms sales to both developed and developing nations reached $66.3 billion last year, up from $21.4 billion in 2010, the report found. Russia, the nation with the second highest weapon sales, sold $4.8 billion worth of arms. Meanwhile, total worldwide weapon sales nearly doubled to $85.3 billion, making the U.S. responsible for more than three-quarters of the global total.

Some of the biggest purchasers of U.S. weapons were Middle Eastern nations, including Saudi Arabia, whose purchase of 84 advanced F-15 fighters in part accounted for a $30 billion bill. The U.S. also sold around $2 billion worth of antimissile batteries to Taiwan, a deal that stoked the ire of China and caused tension during a diplomatic Chinese military visit last July.

For its part, Russia has also faced criticism for its weapons dealings with Syria, which remains embroiled in a civil war since March 2011.

The United Nations failed to reach a consensus last month on a treaty to increase regulation of the arms industry, but further talks are expected leading up to a possible vote by the end of the year. 

If your curious, I’m considering Gary Johnson for President Smile

Believers Beware: Contrary Conditioning
By Paul Verge /
Divergent Films
Recorded December 10, 2009

Points covered in this Interview
1) The New World Order / NWO. Plato’s Republic. Suppress thought. Subjugate the public thru poor education.
2) Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express. Too much evidence = multiple culprits. Plausible deniability.
3) Ego worshippers use hidden knowledge to perpetuate the NWO. Intellectual Elite dumbing down the masses.
4) Socrates / Plato: Allegory of the cave. The illusion works the same today as it was 2500 years ago.
5) Books Vs. Internet research. Eustace Mullins - "Secrets of the Federal Reserve" & "The World Order"
6) "Superclass" using Rhetoric, Fallacy arguments and dumbing the public down.
7) News agencies lying to help protect their advertisers. How the NWO is fed by that relationship.
8) "With No Apologies" by Senator Barry Goldwater Ch 33 - The Non Elected Rulers
9) The CFR, TC, Bilderberg, Trilaterals Subverted groups, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Trilateral Commission.
10) David Rothkopf CFR “We've got the world on our key chain ready to take it for a ride.”
11) Fareed Zacharia CFR "The Post-American World"
12) The Last Will & Testament of Cecil Rhodes. Forms Tax-Exempt Foundation to undermine state sovereignty.
13) Lewis Lapham "The American Ruling Class" CFR members & Elite. Rule because the public is willfully ignorant.
14) Albert Einstein Learning our way out of the insanity by evolving our consciousness.
15) John Taylor Gatto’s book "Dumbing Us Down"
16) The 7 Lessons that Compulsory Curriculum teach:

  1. Confusion. Everything I teach is out of context. I teach the un-relating of everything.
  2. Class position. That’s the real lesson of any rigged competition like school. You come to know your place.
  3. Indifference. The lesson of bells is that no work is worth finishing, so why care too deeply about anything?
  4. Emotional dependency. By stars and red checks, smiles and frowns, prizes, honors, and disgraces, I teach kids to surrender their will to the predestined chain of command.
  5. Intellectual dependency. Of the millions of things of value to study, I decide what few we have time for, or actually it is decided by my faceless employers….Curiosity has no important place in my work, only conformity. Gatto says this is “the most important lesson, that we must wait for other people, better trained than ourselves, to make the meanings of our lives.”
  6. Provisional self-esteem. The lesson of report cards, grades and tests is that children should not trust themselves or their parents but should rely on the evaluation of certified officials. People need to be told what they are worth.
  7. One can’t hide. Surveillance is an ancient imperative, espoused by certain influential thinkers [such as Plato, Augustine, Calvin, Bacon, and Hobbes]. All these childless men…discovered the same thing: children must be closely watched if you want to keep a society under tight central control.

EROCx1 is very ill

Alex_Grey_despairNamaste, greetings and love to all our Family, friends, collogues, vendors, [both retail & wholesale] customers, members and Elders of the Tribe and to everyone else who has graciously entrusted us as their sacred source for high quality entheogens, botanicals, plant specimens, seeds, elixirs, extracts and other rarities over the years. I can’t offer enough thanks to adequately express how much all your support means to us over all these years. While I wish I were drafting this letter for purely to share this message of thanks alone, Unfortunately I must share one additional piece of important personal information’s that I am saddened, yet obliged to tell you.

A couple months ago a serious medical condition began rapidly and significantly impacting my life, besides the burden and stresses on my family. I suffer from Immense pain most of each day which I must endure each day for what seems to be months, have 6-8 day organic insomnia binges, intense treatments with my mind so scattered in a state of hypnogogia it literary takes hours to kick out just one email or order at the moment. I was able to keep up working everything mostly by myself 16+ hours hour days over the past few years however now I fear I am paying the price and am too far in over my head, I finally did what I should have done long ago. Added some professional help to the Gaian Staff (formerly me alone) stepped away from my day job for a few months [HUGE RISK] in a sincere effort to remedy this situation ASAP and set us up with only for room for improvement. We are still behind on some fulfillment and bills and super far behind on email not to mention the great distance I must travel on my long path to a complete recovery should I be blesses with one. I hope so, this whole experiences has re-clarified what’s most important along with plenty of stellar ideas. So only about 2000 emails to sort threw. About 25 (trouble) orders meaning things don’t add up or payment processors / customs are involved. Many expensive DR & Specialist visits / appointments, tests, lmaging, bloodletting, spinal and other injections, Et cetara Please keep the faith that I will be back healthier and better then ever and that no one will be let down by me. I have even added pending orders and debt to my last living will and testament to be handled privately by a trusted friend should the worst come.

New orders have been both a blessing & curse. I pray for new orders, then they come and I pray to get them out asap. Or at least the buyer is not in a super hurry to received them  Our young family of 5 desperately needs the money to stay in our home so please keep sending orders. A few have asked to send gifts, You can use the return address for Gaian or paypal me at EROCx1@EROCx1.com or contact me threw the site. I requests for your loving energy that we all pull though ASAP. This illness has been testing to stay the least.

Last but not least I kindly request that everyone who has indicated charge backs, Paypal disputes, rumors, forum and blog drama to cut me a little slack. I promise to deliver. I have NEVER stolen from anyone and don’t plant to start now.

At any rate, Many kind thanks for your patience and understanding.

Peace, Love and Thanks!

Read The Emperor Wears No Clothes


From: Portland Progressive Examiner
By: Michael Stone
Date: April 15, 2010

Jack Herer, much beloved Emperor of Hemp and marijuana hero. is dead at age 70. Herer was a tireless advocate in the battle to end marijuana prohibition. He was perhaps the world's most famous activist for the decriminalization of marijuana and the utilization of hemp.

Jack Herer was born June 18, 1939. A former Goldwater Republican, Herer became a political activist and the author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes, a book which is now a classic polemic in the effort to decriminalize marijuana.

Herer argued for the decriminalization and utilization of marijuana. Marijuana has been shown to be a renewable source of fuel, food, and medicine, and can be grown in virtually any part of the world. Herer was one of the first to show that the U.S. government deliberately hides the proof of marijuana's efficacy and utility. Herer devoted his life in support of cannabis, hemp and marijuana.

In later life Herer suffered several health problems. In 2000 Herer suffered a stroke and heart attack. After recovering the activist spoke with a stutter and walked with a limp. Last September 12 Herer collapsed backstage at "Hempstalk 2009" in Portland, Oregon.

After giving a fiery speech to the crowd on the future of hemp Herer suffered a heart attack and a significant loss of oxygen. Just minutes before his speech, Herer looked fit and said, "I'm getting better and better and better. I'm healthier than I've been..."

Herer passed away after months of serious health complications following his September collapse. Herer is a true American hero who spoke truth to power. He stood up for freedom while many others failed to do so. He was a good and noble man, and he will be missed.

Ethan Nadelmann: Time To End The War on Drugs

PROGRAM NOTES:

[NOTE: All quotations are by Ethan Nadelmann.]

"The War on Drugs, this policy of punitive prohibition, is a horror in our society, something that cannot be morally justified, cannot be justified in terms of health, can certainly not be justified in terms of public safety, that cannot be justified in terms of any kind of fiscal prudence that I’ve ever heard of."

"The War on Drugs is a cancer in our society, in our American society and in global society."

"There’s never been a drug-free society, and there’s never going to be a drug-free society. We are moving increasingly into a world in which there will be ever-more psychoactive drugs available."

"The stand-bys, you know, the old faithfuls of tobacco and alcohol and marijuana and coca cocaine and opium, they’ve been with us for thousands of years in one way or another, and they’re going to continue to be part of our society and our lives, whether we like it or not."

"When drug treatment gets owned by the criminal justice system, drug treatment simply becomes a synonym for coerced abstinence."

"We need to aim to cut America’s incarcerated population in half, to pick a rough number."

"We need to get that term, over-incarceration, into the popular dialogue, into the popular language."

"One of the definitions of power is when somebody tells you to do something, and you do it without asking why. That’s the definition of power. Somebody tells you to do it and you do it without even asking why, that’s the power of the prison-industrial complex today."

"California used to be known as the state of higher education and is now known as the state of higher incarceration."

"When you live in a society where one of the most powerful political forces is the organization which earns its livelihood from keeping its fellow citizens behind bars, I don’t know of any other free society in which that is the case. That’s a distortion."

"I define recovery as getting to the point where your drug use, if you use drugs, is no longer impairing your life. … That’s the objective, to get on with your life."

"It’s about accepting that each one of us, who have struggled with drugs, has to find their own path. And that the role of the state should certainly not be to get in the way and optimally to facilitate this."

"That we are each sovereign over our own minds and bodies, that is the core principle that we have to keep putting out there."
