US prohibition of hemp farming is a national catastrophe. Addiction to fossil energy is a global, ecological catastrophe. Both are peoples’ catastrophes; right up there with the consequences of hemp prohibition, and suppression of Mother Energy access, is the demonstrated disregard of humanity.
Nature is infinitely subtle. We are part of nature. Working against nature is working against us.
The ultimate question for mankind seems to be: If you are clever enough to exploit Earth’s fossil energy, are you wise enough not to destroy yourselves with it?
Sheer cleverness is obviously not our problem. A collective, nurtured and even enforced wisdom deficit leading to corporate profit becoming God, that seems our problem. Runaway focus on profit is a dead end.
Nikola Tesla was a very human being. Awareness and wisdom shining from Tesla’s mind was so brilliant he could only be targeted in a world destined to run on oil. His statements about science being but a perversion of itself unless its goal is the betterment of humanity…that, along with other noble demonstrations of his humanity put a big bull’s-eye on his back.
As much as Tesla gave us, and as much praise as he has attracted, a proportional derision hounds even his memory. Powers of corporate profit have failed to excise the memory of Tesla from public consciousness, and so, have fallen back on the next best thing: relentless disinformation, misinformation, misdirection and distraction.
Has one man ever offered so much to humanity? Has any man ever been suppressed in so many ways both subtle and overt? A main idea being pushed lately is that an electric car is named after Tesla—as though that’s one of his greatest achievements. Reliable information regarding what matters most about Tesla is disappearing.
It is generally agreed that on January 7, 1943, Tesla had an appointment to discuss with FDR the possibility of tapping Mother Energy—of mankind hooking its machines up to “…the very wheelworks of nature.” Limitless, clean and natural energy (Tesla used the term, “Free energy”).
He missed his appointment with FDR. Tesla was found dead of “natural causes”.
Evidence suggesting that Tesla was murdered includes the FBI being right on the scene to confiscate all of Tesla’s possessions. Papers, notebooks—everything involving his research remains locked down. And for reasons of “national security”, the coroner’s report is also ultra classified because it reveals that Tesla did not die of natural causes.
Parallels between malign powers attacking Tesla, and those responsible for prohibition of hemp farming since 1937—the parallels are astonishing, yet predictable. Access to Mother Energy, the force that energizes the universe, and freedom regarding hemp in all its life-promoting glory…seems hard to imagine two things of greater public benefit, or two things more threatening to the profit status quo.
Today, hemp threatens entrenched profits of even more industries than in the summer of 1937, when congress was being asked to essentially outlaw a drug they knew nothing about.
That summer, congressman Snell asked congressman Rayburn, regarding the Marijuana Tax Stamp Act, “What is this bill about?”
“It has something to do with something called marijuana,” replied congressman Rayburn. “I believe it is a narcotic of some kind.”
Of course the real issue was non-drug industrial hemp. Marijuana and the whole “reefer madness” shame was a ruse to protect profits of industries such as timber, paper, petroleum, cotton…a fact substantiated by “medical marijuana” opening broader decriminalization of marijuana. Get ready for even greater shame when marijuana is legal, but hemp farming is not.
Biotech is a new industry threatened by hemp that is gaining immense and hazardous control over not just our food supply. Biotech’s ultimate thug is a beast that has grown to own the designation of “Most Evil Corporation in the World”: Monsanto.

San Francisco is looking to outlaw smoking tobacco in public places — but the famously liberal city won’t extend the ban to marijuana.
New legislation would prohibit smoking anything other than medically-prescribed marijuana at street fairs, festivals and other outdoor events held on city property, KCBS of San Francisco reported. The city’s board of supervisors is weighing the new rule.

Gov. Mary Fallin has agreed to early release for inmate Patricia Spottedcrow, a young mother whose story of lengthy sentence for selling a small amount of marijuana was featured in a Tulsa World series on Women in Prison.
Under the governor’s stipulations, Spottedcrow will be required to complete 120 days at a community-level Department of Corrections facility before she is released. Spottedcrow, 27, was originally handed a 12-year sentence in a blind plea before a judge for selling $31 worth of marijuana to a police informant.

OHSU Hospital has quietly eased restrictions on pot use among people seeking organ transplants, a shift driven in part by the rising number of medical marijuana patients in Oregon.
The hospital in the past year has revisited its long-standing policy that required six months of negative drug screens and even the possibility of drug rehabilitation for marijuana users before patients could be waitlisted for a liver transplant. The revised policy allows marijuana users who meet all other criteria to be waitlisted for liver transplants if a single screen turns up negative.

The various laws that keep marijuana illegal are the dumbest ones on the books, according to the voice of God, Morgan Freeman.
Freeman has been a highly vocal advocate for the legalization of marijuana for a long time now, and once again stressed his belief that weed should be legalized in a recent interview with Newsweek. Here’s what the Dark Knight Rises star had to say about it:
“Marijuana! Heavens, oh yeah. It’s just the stupidest law possible, given history. You don’t stop people from doing what they want to do, so forget about making it unlawful. You’re just making criminals out of people who aren’t engaged in criminal activity. And we’re spending zillions of dollars trying to fight a war we can’t win! We could make zillions, just legalize it and tax it like we do liquor. It’s stupid.”

Roseanne Barr loves her marijuana.
The TV star, appearing on the Late Show withDavid Letterman Tuesday, explained that her hot temper of yesteryear has been cooled by regular hits from the bong.
“I wasn’t as stable [in the past] … that’s before I started smoking the medical marijuana,” the 59-year-old said.
Roseanne, who’s never been shy to wear her politics on her sleeve, had a warning for the commander-in-chief in regards to overturning California’s liberal marijuana laws. (It is legal there with a doctor-prescribed license.)

“One thing I want to say: [President Barack]Obama is trying to take our medical marijuana away over there in California, and he’s going to send in Federal troops to get our medical marijuana.

“I’ll tell you this Obama: You get my joint when you pry it out of my cold, dead fingers!”

An all-pervasive energy is fundamental to the Cosmos. Not “empty”, vacuum space itself is an ocean of energy, the essence of nature. Tesla called this universal force, “Free energy”. Inventors who have also found the key have added the names: “Zero-point energy”; “Energy from the vacuum”; “Background energy”; “Radiant energy”; “Cosmic energy”; “Aether”…many others.
Tesla predicted that if we are ever allowed to use free energy…someday mankind will hook their machinery up to “the very wheelworks of nature”. Here the terms “Mother Energy” and “Free energy” are interchangeable.
Born of Mother Energy, hemp elegantly transforms sunlight and water into essentials of life on Earth—a regal powerhouse of the plant kingdom. Beyond that, certain relationships might not seem obvious, such as Mother Energy and hemp being artificially linked in ways that hinder humanity. Mother Energy and hemp offer extreme public benefits spanning the biosphere, potentially brightening the future of humanity. Alas, in regressive ways practiced and preached in the US above all, Mother Energy access and hemp farming are both suppressed for precisely the same reason: Protection of entrenched corporate profits.
