Legalized marijuana

vendredi 5 janvier 2018 à 01:00

Saboteur Sessions will restart prosecution of state-legalized marijuana sellers, maybe even customers.

The decision leaves it up to US attorneys whether to prosecute. But there's a good chance they won't succeed in convicting people for these "crimes". Let's do our best to spread the word to resist while in a jury.

However, if agents go around confiscating the marijuana and the money of sellers, the sellers will have to shut down. People will be limited to what they and their friends can grow.

Russian-sponsored peace talks

vendredi 5 janvier 2018 à 01:00

Syrian rebel groups refused to participate in Russian-sponsored peace talks.

Russia is no more an honest broker in Syria than the US is in Israel/Palestine.

Red tape

vendredi 5 janvier 2018 à 01:00

We all hate "red tape" until we see that the neglect of safety regulations can kill more people than a terrorist attack.

Ideological rehabilitation

vendredi 5 janvier 2018 à 01:00

The US has begun to try ideological rehabilitation on convicted supporters of PISSI. It sometimes works.

Military aid to Pakistan

vendredi 5 janvier 2018 à 01:00

The US has suspended over 250 million dollars in military aid to Pakistan.

Morally, I can't criticize this. Pakistan has been playing a double game for at least 10 years, unofficially supporting the Afghan Taliban while only sometimes fighting the Pakistani Taliban.

However, whether will turn out to be advantageous in practice, I can't begin to guess.
