Stacy Summary: h/t @Richard S. A third grader could have figured this out. And, of course, however, mom and pop marijuana growers are also threatening the profits of a certain ahem intelligence agency.
The shifting economics of the marijuana trade have broad implications for Mexico’s war against the drug cartels, suggesting that market forces, as much as law enforcement, can extract a heavy price from criminal organizations that have used the spectacular profits generated by pot sales to fuel the violence and corruption that plague the Mexican state.

@frances … Kohl
Merkel was his protogee.
BTW , during a recent interview ( show on Frontal 21 ), a dutch journalist asked Schauble ( Interior minister now to become Finance Minister ) and Merkel about a sum of 100,000 Euros for weapons deals .. “where was the money”.
Schauble & Kohl were blood brothers and Kohl was hauled in front of the highest German court and refused to let them search his house ( in front of 30 mio. viewers). Kohl won.
The weapons dealer “Schreiber” , who was recently hauled back to Germany just before the elections (Munich), was a supposed to become a key witness in the Kohl and CDU weapons case. Strangely, the politicians must have reached – yet again – some back-door agreement, because we’ve heard nothing since … and the elections are now over !
My guess .. the SPD was planning to use him to smear the CDU just before the elections, but discovered they’d themselves were probably also implicated .. therefore nothing came out … Just guessing of course !

How is everyone going to go shopping for Christmas?
The latest Mintel data on credit card direct mail offers to consumers showing Q3 of this year against the preceding few years. The drop is … precipitous, from 2.1-billion a quarter in 2006 to 391-million in the most recent quarter.

It seems to me that it is the pharmaceutical companies and the war mongers that have the most to lose by legalizing marijuana….it’s hard to sell high priced anti-depressants if people can grow their own medicinal cures and it’s hard to wage war when all your soldiers just want to be creative and get along with others.
The people that sell it!

@Jeff the kid heard the economy was going to pot…so he figured he would, too!
@Mep:
I don’t get it. Why the emphasis on ‘founding fathers’? It is a meme that has exploded in the ‘bad banks’ vs. honest government or honest money agenda.
I find it nauseating seeing as Ratigan is paid for by the corporate media. Who cares about George Washington? How is George Washington relevant to anything anymore? Or Jefferson? Might as well call up Mark Twain or Geranimo.
@Dante .. Thx .. DEclassified !
LOL … remember that “CLASSIFIED” video yesterday !
Ironic.
And yes, the FED rules the world, or think they should at least !

is that like saying your great grandfather is worthless. Criticism is a sharp knife in some camps, and a weapon in others. HA
Fight the power. Stem the deficit. Grow your own.
@JustGetItRight:
I thought about it and wondered if it has to do with our money: the calling up of Jefferson’s bones. Guess?

Any ideas?

UK drugs tzar sacked today for telling the truth:
‘The professor said smoking cannabis created only a “relatively small risk” of psychotic illness.
and attacked what he called “artificial” separation of alcohol and tobacco from illegal drugs.’

@frances
a nickel is an illusion of value, which has substituted the transaction of barter. Does it matter which bust in on the devils advocate=money. I guess the choosing of famous people, is synonymous with the fight and spirit that built the US into a dominate society in our world.
Many famous people have paved the way to create civil advancement throughout history. Socrates, Karl Marx, Julius Caesar, Kublai Khan, Napoleon Bonaparte, Moses, Jesus Christ, Johann Sebastian Bach, William Shakespeare, Michelangelo, Steven Spielberg, Galileo Galilei, Sigmund Freud, Thomas Alva Edison, Christopher Columbus. So, what good did any of these dead souls mean for anything?
The men on money were pioneers for the betterment of civil being. It is the power of greed, an unbelievable power, that has changed the game. The men playing the game today, are tearing down decades of civil stability, world war is the next level.
Just not right to “dis” the men, that have advocated and so struggled for liberty frances.
@JustGotItRight:
Did I diss Jefferson? I hope not! I don’t mean to diss anyone: I just question things with words! What I meant by the “founding father’s meme” is the use of image to evoke emotion and sway opinion. My opinion is that those that issue money use the images on the money for their own advantage.
I like the way you put things: gently but with conviction.
