How Many Pounds of Marijuana Are Being Sold in Colorado A Month?

“The crime rate in Denver, Colorado’s largest city, has gone down by 2.4%, with property crime falling by 14.6%, in the past year — all while enough ganja is being sold in the state to make Cheech and Chong blush.  The fear mongering that we always hear about marijuana is being exposed for exactly what it is. ‘If voters [legalize marijuana], I believe there will be many harmful consequences,’ said Sheriff David A. Weaver before the amendment was passed. ‘Expect more crime … I think our entire state will pay the price.’  Meanwhile, three months into the legalization experiment, consumers are buying over $14 million worth of product a month. That works out to approximately 1,683 pounds of pot.”

Legislator’s Phony Tirade Denying IRS Targeting Exposed By Emails

“If you’ve paid even a modicum of attention to the House Oversight Committee hearings on the IRS scandal, you know that Ranking Member Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) has insisted from the beginning that the Republican-led investigation has been little more than a witch hunt.  Cummings has been accused of virtually running cover for the White House, a charge he has vehemently denied. Now, newly delivered internal emails between Cummings’ staff and the IRS not only prove otherwise, but show that Cummings’ own staff directly communicated with the IRS about at least one of the conservative groups targeted by the agency.”

DEA Says Pot Prohibition Protects Dogs; Cop-Killed Dogs Disagree

“Testifying before a House subcomittee yesterday, the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration warned that marijuana legalization is bad for dogs. DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart was not talking about the pot-sniffing canines who are out of work in Colorado and Washington now that the odor of cannabis is no longer probable cause for a search. She was talking about pets that ingest marijuana-laced snacks.  The main concern is that marijuana, an anti-emetic, will make dogs less likely to vomit potentially dangerous foods into which it has been infused, such as butter and chocolate.  You know what else is bad for dogs? Marijuana prohibition.”

Incredible confusions: Why ‘austerity’ if we can just print the money?

“Debt can either be repaid or be defaulted on. Destroying the purchasing power of money through inflation is one way to default on the debt. Simply not paying the debt is the other option. In both cases, savers, ‘thrifty pensioners’, and the customers of banks, insurance companies, and pension funds will suffer, and in the inflationary scenario everybody will suffer greatly. Sadly, the massive printing of money and accumulation of debt that has occurred since the termination of the gold standard and the adoption of limitless state fiat money and pro-growth central banking has now brought us to a point where defaults appear to be unavoidable. This is not some great reset. It is a man-made catastrophe.”

Man Recovers Camera Footage NYPD Cop Deleted After Attacking Him

“A New York City cop beat up and arrested a man for video recording him inside a subway station from 30 feet away Saturday night, walking up to him and getting in his face all while claiming the man was invading his personal space.  Officer Rojas, shield number 23404, then deleted the video, never mentioning the camera once in his arrest report, claiming the man had physically interfered with another arrest he was making.  But after spending 24 hours in jail, Shawn Randall Thomas managed to recover the deleted footage, proving that Rojas is not only a liar, but a bullying thug as well.”

China February exports tumble unexpectedly

“China’s exports unexpectedly tumbled in February, swinging the trade balance into deficit and adding to fears of a slowdown in the world’s second-largest economy despite the Lunar New Year holidays being blamed for the slide.  The sharp drop in exports follows a series of factory surveys since the start of 2014 that point to weakness in economic activity as demand falters at home and abroad.  Exports in February fell 18.1 percent from a year earlier, following a 10.6 percent jump in January.  That compares with market expectations in a Reuters poll of a rise of 6.8 percent in exports.”

Health Czar Shows Amazing Ignorance About Marijuana

“In the Internet era, members of the general public have unprecedented access to scientific facts and figures. Among the resources now available at one’s fingertips is the National Center for Biotechnology Information database. NCBI is an NIH.gov electronic search engine that allows the public to instantly read the abstracts of hundreds of thousands of peer-reviewed scientific papers on virtually any subject, including an estimated 20,000 papers on cannabis alone.  So why then does the head of the National Institutes of Health purport to know so little about the science of pot?”

Dashcam catches cops in unbelievable lies in man’s false arrest

“Police charged a New Jersey man with resisting arrest and assaulting an officer, but recently revealed footage from a dashboard camera told a different story: Not only did the officers start beating the man for no apparent reason, but they actually crashed one of their vehicles into the man’s car.  Then they allegedly lied about what transpired and suppressed the evidence, but were somehow found innocent during an internal investigation.  Prosecutors, however, dropped all charges against 30-year-old Marcus Jeter, a black man, once they saw the incredible video footage, which fully corroborates Jeter’s side of the story.”

Police Chief, Citing Joke Site: ‘Legal Pot Killed 37 People On First Day’

“Testifying against marijuana legalization before the Maryland legislature today, Annapolis Police Chief Michael Pristoop warned of the potentially lethal consequences. ‘The first day of legalization, that’s when Colorado experienced 37 deaths that day from overdose on marijuana,’ Pristoop told the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee. ‘I remember the first day it was decriminalized there were 37 deaths.’  As Sen. Jamie Raskin (D-Montgomery) quickly pointed out, what Pristoop actually remembered was a joke story at The Daily Currant.”

Ponzi Pandemic: 500+ Schemes Totaling $50+ Billion in ‘Madoff Era’

“The Ponzi Database, which was recently published at Ponzitracker.com, represents the first single comprehensive source to provide a window into the financial scourge that has inflicted irreparable damage on an investing public over the past six years.  The significant sample size also allows for a truly birds-eye view at just how widespread Ponzi schemes have become.  Indeed, in the six-year span from 2008 to 2013, Madoff’s scheme was only one of over 500 Ponzi schemes that collectively involved over $50 billion.  That’s billion with a ‘B.’ On average, a Ponzi scheme was uncovered or busted every four days in that six-year period.”
