 an excellent point which will get the same treatment that julian assange is getting. it will be ignored as they attempt to bring home the gae star, while keeping the same crap going on here just as julian is in jail for being a journalist. there is no intelligence or honesty in what remains of the empire's governing forces, whoever they are, and it certainly ain't 'joe biden';

Elon Musk has waded into the federal government's efforts to free WNBA star Brittney Griner from Russian captivity, saying the Biden administration should also free anyone else jailed for weed offenses in the United States.

'If the president is working so hard to free someone who is in jail in Russia for some weed, shouldn't we free people in America?' Musk said in an episode of the Full Send podcast.

'There are people in jail in America for the same stuff, shouldn't we free them too?' he asked, adding: 'My opinion is that people should not be in jail for nonviolent drug crimes.'  

Griner, 31, was found guilty on Thursday of smuggling drugs into Russia after a judge rejected her claims she accidentally left a marijuana pen in her bag when she entered the country in February. She was sentenced to nine years in prison.

Almost immediately following the verdict, U.S. President Joe Biden said he would work 'tirelessly' to pursue 'every possible avenue' to bring her and Paul Whelan - another American imprisoned in Russia - home.

The State Department is now working to negotiate a prisoner swap for the two Americans in exchange for Viktor Boult, a Russian arms dealer known as the criminal known as the 'merchant of death.'

But in the United States, marijuana possession remains illegal at the federal level, and marijuana arrests now account for over half of all drug arrests in the country, according to the ACLU.

And of the 8.2 million marijuana busts between 2001 to 2010, the ACLU found, 88 percent were for simply having marijuana.  ........more........

 you can't fix stupid but sometimes you can watch, and notice who owns the hotel. one of our recent immigrants from the land of dots;

GATLINBURG, Tenn. (WVLT) - On Sunday morning, eyewitnesses described the blood-boiling moments when two people were seen actually walking up to a bear and petting it.

This happened Sunday morning at the Quality Inn Creekside hotel in downtown Gatlinburg. Owner Raj Patel said he was made aware of the incident when he saw pictures of a woman extending her hand just inches away from a bear’s mouth.

Misty Chrismon captured those photos and said that the woman actually made contact with the bear, and the bear swiped at her moments after. It was only at that time that the woman left the bear alone.

“She was petting the nose and everything, and then she put her hand out pretending she had food for the bear,” said Chrismon.

It’s not an isolated incident, but admittedly, the most bizarre one that Patel said he’d seen. He didn’t kick out the woman seen in the pictures; Patel is still looking for her. Patel did tell WVLT News that he had kicked out 10 or 15 people in the past, however.

“We typically every week see the same four or five bears.” said Patel who added that bears are seen walking around the hotel every few hours of the day.

Bears at the hotel have been known to be able to open an elevator door by themselves and even make their way into trash cans that are supposedly bear-proof, according to Patel.

While the desire to interact with the bears nearby is something Patel sees from guests on a daily basis, he said there’s a right and wrong way to do it.

He’s advising that you keep a safe distance from the wildlife if you encounter a bear and not to go near it. If a person does not follow these rules can lead to you being kicked out of the hotel.......more........

 this could be fun. i like how putin does things like this;

 comments can be interesting;

It’s been a while and much has transpired.

The food situation is going to get critical next Winter, the Supply Chain disruptions are about to get worse, the FOOLS in power keep poking China in the face with this Taiwan bullshit, they are getting their proxy asses kicked in the Ukraine but won’t admit it, Monkey Pox is the next PANIC button, voting is still ALL FUCKED UP and on and on and on.

What’s on your mind?.......comments........

 caitlin nails her subject in this essay;

During the furor over Nancy Pelosi’s incendiary Taiwan visit last week, I was watching an appearance by Antiwar’s Dave DeCamp on the show Rising which brought up the under-discussed point that US officials going to Taipei is actually a continuation of a trend that had already been happening under the Trump administration.

DeCamp pointed out that China began regularly flying planes into Taiwan’s Air Defense Identification Zone after Trump administration officials made similar visits to Pelosi’s.

“That started happening regularly after August 2020 when President Trump sent Alex Azar to Taiwan,” DeCamp said. “He was his health secretary. He was the highest-level cabinet official to visit Taiwan since 1979. The following month, in September 2020, they sent Keith Krach. He was the undersecretary for economics in the State Department, and he was the highest-level State Department official to visit Taiwan since 1979. So these are unprecedented steps, and since then we’ve seen more Chinese military activity in the region.”........more.......

 you miht label this essay a short outline of the goals of the klaus schwab gang and how, in some ways, they're working towards it though there is easily much more that could have been added;

The Boy Scouts may have fallen on difficult times over the last few decades as PC became dogma and Woke waves swept over the country. Scandal-hungry media and several adult troop leaders sporting their Bad Apple merit badges put the indelible stain of the psychologically bent on the admirable qualities of legendary Boy Scout training activities. The motto “Be Prepared” remains above all that.

Over the years, “Be Prepared” has grown to be more than just good advice prior to a overnight camping for merit badge qualifications or a first date; it is succinct guidance for any task in any venue. Today, “Be Prepared” has become as much of a warning cry as Paul Revere’s legendary “The British are coming!” We’ve gone from “These are the times that try men’s souls” to  “The Great Reset“, “Reset The Table“, the plans and blueprints for the manipulation and control of entire civilizations as we have known them. Economic and monetary systems, farming, food production and consumption, medical services, health care, marriage, children, careers – every single aspect of our lives is to be re-ordered under the direction of Klaus Schwab’s  World Economic Forum , Rockefeller Foundation  Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and cooperating governments around the world.

“Whether we know it or not, we are at war. And, whether we know it or not, that war is a battle between the overwhelming majority of the human population and the few at the top who seek to control (and simultaneously reduce) that population. The battle lines may not always be so clear—there are many unwitting dupes who act to shore up the systems of technocratic control without knowing what they are doing. And there are those who still believe in the core lies of the globalists—the climate change hoax, for example—and thereby unknowingly play into their 2030 Agenda.” – James Corbett, The Corbett Report ............more......
