Good post.

Since the fall of the Soviet Union, when the state owned the country’s only bank, over two thousand banks have sprung up, and more than 95 percent of them are believed to be owned by, or at least controlled by, Russian organized criminal groups.

Professionally trained and highly qualified former KGB agents have become Russia’s most capable drug traffickers and laundrymen.

Russia boasts to having one of the lowest bank robbery rates in the world, but the contract-killing rate has soared: Mostly legitimate bankers and prominent businessmen, as organized crime usurped legitimate money.

Between 1992 & 95, Swiss authorities admitted that at least $54 billion had been deposited into Swiss Banks by Russia. Much Russian money was laundered into financial vehicles such as tax-exempt Italian bearer bonds; and into other world banks.

In summary, Russian banks are solely run for the benefit of criminal enterprise; and, legitimate International Russian businesses have largely opted out of that system. So Russian banking balance sheets have less to do with the over all health of International Russian enterprise than you may think. In fact, Inter-Bric trading is very much alive and well. For instance, unlike their Euro-American criminal counterparts who attenuate fuel supply, the Russians have developed new refineries, and currently opening up a great deal of Inter-Bric fuel trade.

Moreover, the Brazilians have a clever economic man, Guido Mantega, who was a party to the authoring of the terms & conditions of TARP. Even his daughter here in NYC is working to supply their banks with some extremely advanced world currency trading software.

Clearly the masters of the Amero-European race have managed to kill the goose that laid the golden egg. Meanwhile, Bric has many resources, including people power, upon which it relies; and, it has learned from the mistakes of others. The future of these two groups is as utterly divergent as it is obvious.

Cannabis day in Canada? Brilliant. I thought about moving to Canada and that’s made me think again. Problem is getting a visa as I understand they’re quite strict.

Cannabis is an amzing plant no two ways about it, more like several ways. The seed is often touted as being, “The most nutritionally complete food source on the planet.” Its fibre is the longest most used fibre in our history. The wiki lays it out better
Its medicine is as you have researched, very powerfull, with wide application, curing/preventing cancer at the pinnacle.

Aquiring some high quality cannabis is the difficult aspect, growing it can take too long in many major medicinal cases.
Im not sure what to suggest, the internet imo is not a good place to find any. If you have any friends or family that indulge, I would suggest asking them for help.

Welcome to the world of the insanity that is prohibition.

I guess another bonus to GB’s offer to others to come to come to Canada. We just celebrated Cannabis Day here, we’ve replaced our Countries birthday for our unofficial plant.

I made an obsevation about a general trend, I was a little bit sarcastic well…no duh…hardly political opression, so please don’t be hypersensitive or paranoid, talk about whatever you like, have an opinion never hold back, please don’t feel persecuted…….unless you that is you enjoy feeling that way in which case carry on….but c’mon even you must see the humour in the fact that a lot of the ‘illuminated’regulars who comment on this site openly admit to being unhappy or angry about the way society/the world is heading, see themselves as outsiders or would like to live outside or above the staus quo or even develop new strategies for a alternative better future…fine good for Y’All…But what immigrants are supposed to be happy citizens want to join in adapt and accept something we are leaving behind and like to spend hours dismantling complaining about or trying to repair….I think mankinds problems and malaise/ illness call it what you like runs a lot deeper than what country you find yourself in, don’t mistake symptons with the illness and that applys to nationals and immigrants.

Peace,Love and Power

I don’t have a problem with immigration…
Come to Canada…
we have plenty of room UP NORTH…
although our welfare system isn’t as good as Sweden’s
And you’ll likely have some problems with the frost-bite and Wild-life, but it’s all good…

RE:Italy’s shiny new Anti-illegal immigration law

Italy has a problem with the “boat-people”
so to see Berlusconi’s Coalition gov’t (note that LEGA NORD is instrumental there) passing a bill against it, is no surprise…

Back in the winter, when I was there,
L’Unita (a communist/Socialist newspaper)
had an article detailing where and how the illegal immigrants would enter Europe…
Italy is one of the main gateways…
apparently it costs the EU 5000Euros per person to send these poor unfortunate souls BACK to their countries of origin…
and that seems to cause some people to get upset…

If Italy is sprouting new “Camice Nera” squads
it’s probably coming from the Forza Nuova political group….
they are the Neo-Fascists, and even though they claim to not be racist, their actions and propaganda would suggest otherwise…
