			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is something that was sent to me today.  It is such a relief to find a reasonable and brave legislator in Utah who will stand up for what they belief in despite the opinion of the status quo.</p>
<blockquote><p>SALT LAKE CITY — A former state lawmaker and director of the  Crossroads Urban Center was arrested this week after investigators  busted what they described as a &#8220;large marijuana grow.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jeff Fox, 62, was arrested Tuesday by Salt  Lake police at his home, 149 S. Windsor. Officers serving a warrant  found 16 pounds of packaged marijuana, 30 mature marijuana plants, 169  &#8220;starter&#8221; plants and psychedelic mushrooms found in the bedroom closet,  according to police reports.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are so many attacks currently on our freedom, and most of us wouldn&#8217;t believe it is coming from our own homeland.</p>
<p>I have been personally acquainted with Rep Brad Daw of the 28th precinct in Utah&#8217;s House of Representatives.<br />
 My wife and I did some website design work for him in 2005, and since then we have followed Brad&#8217;s progress as a politician, hoping that he would do the right thing, and being very hopeful that he is a good constitution loving employee of the American people.   It&#8217;s sad to say, but necessary.  Brad Daw and many of his colleagues do not respect privacy, individual rights, or the constitution.   If he was truly acting as an employee of the people, he should be fired.</p>
<p>I recently found this article: <a title="Utah HB150" href="http://slu2.com/?CS" target="_blank"> http://slu2.com/?CS</a></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;<strong>House Bill 150</strong>, “Administrative Subpoena Amendments”. This bill expanded an already unconstitutional practice of bypassing a warrant when demanding customer information from an Internet Service Provider&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This is something that Mr. Daw voted in favor of.  The thing that puzzles me, is that this is a guy who touts his respect and adherence to the constitution.   See this video made of Brad at a political conference:  <a title="Brad Daw talking about the constitution" href="http://slu2.com/?E2" target="_blank">http://slu2.com/?E2</a></p>
<p>Doesn&#8217;t Brad Daw consider HB150 to be in direct violation of the 4th Amendment?  Does he care?</p>
<p>Here is what the 4th Amendment says:</p>
<blockquote><p>The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
This is one aspect of Brad Daw&#8217;s desire for bigger government, and less rights for citizens.  But it goes way deeper than that with Mr. Daw.  Brad Daw is a fanatical supporter of the &#8216;drug war&#8217;.  He banned me from his facebook page, for mentioning how beneficial ending prohibition would be.</p>
<p>This is Mr. Daw censoring my speech:   <a title="Brad Daw against marijuana rights" href="http://slu2.com/?Is" target="_blank">http://slu2.com/?Is</a></p>
<p>It is clear to me that Brad Daw does not care about individual freedoms.  He is catering to big government and big corporations.</p>
<p>The reason why I say that he is supporting large corporations, is because of his open support for nuclear power in Utah as opposed to other alternative energy solutions, like wind, solar, bio-diesel, etc.  Nuclear power has deep pockets and is romancing Utah right now with it&#8217;s money, so that Utahans will vote in favor of storing nuclear waste from around the world in it&#8217;s west desert.    Smaller businesses, and more viable and renewable sources of energy are being ignored because of the big money that Energy Solutions (nuclear waste storage company) is dumping on Utah.</p>
<p>Please vote Brad out of office.  The end result of his &#8216;service&#8217; in Utah, will mean bondage for Utahans!</p>
<p>For example, this is a great solution to the problem.  Even though Rob Alexander is not running for Brad&#8217;s seat, Rob is a great example of a libertarian candidate in Utah who is more concerned about individual rights rather than big corps and big government!</p>

<p>Currently one of our rotating head logos has a smoking monkey on it. <br />
 Some want to know whats up with the monkey&#8217;s?  <br />
 It doesn&#8217;t have a lot to do with the Zion Curtain, but in Jack Herer&#8217;s book &#8220;<a title="Jack Herer - The Emperor Wears No Cloths" href="http://www.jackherer.com/chapters.html" target="_blank">The Emperor Wears No Clothes</a>&#8220;, there is an article about the government tests done with marijuana in the 70&#8242;s.</p>
<p>The researchers gave the monkey enough smoke to suffocate them, and that is exactly what happened to them, over and over again.   Tell me one human that you know who smokes 63 Colombian strength joints in 5 minutes!?!?!!   <br />
 <a title="Pot smoking monkeys" href="http://xcannabis.com/2009/08/jack-herer-on-the-marijuana-monkeys/" target="_blank">See this article</a>, or reference The Emperor Wears No Clothes&#8221;.</p>
<p>How that relates to me, or even Utah.  Is that I served almost 8 months in Utah for possession (not distribution, not for growing, JUST possession) of a few grams of weed before I was 19 years old.  Utah has insane weed laws.</p>

<p></p>
<p>11th of September is a sad day for many different tragic events in history.
I think about this day on occasion.  Even though it&#8217;s sad, it&#8217;s good to remember.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy New Year!   I&#8217;ve been busy with some projects.  Doing some community service, by modifying some really cool open source software, for use in a marijuana dispensary environment.  I&#8217;ve invested some $$ and a lot of time in to this project.  We released the software(s) for free at <a href="http://EmeraldPOS.com">EmeraldPOS.com</a><br />
 I have also been busy with cancer awareness and I have been posting what the CURE for cancer is, CANNABIS! <br />
 The new year 2010 seems like the old year, but progress IS being made in our government.  If nothing else, the government is respecting the 10th Amendment better than in previous days.  Marijuana is not such a villainous plant is seems.  Laws are being passed, public servants are being less prejudice or piggoted (pot biggoted?)..</p>
<p>It also seems many if not most of the politicians in office today including the last 3 presidents of the USA are &#8216;former&#8217; pot smokers.   The current president &#8220;inhaled frequently, that was the point&#8221; by his own admission.     Pot isn&#8217;t the evil corruption of this world like many religious folk make it out to be.   In fact, it&#8217;s quite the opposite.    I made a few videos last year about religion and cannabis.   Please enjoy the links below.   From the video at the top that shows that cannabis cures cancer.    To the cannabis and religion videos that I&#8217;ll be posting at the bottom.    All in all 2009 was a great year, and 2010 seems like it will be the same.    Praise Jah!</p>

<p>I think one of the better videos that I&#8217;ve made was my topic of Marcus Garvey / Bob Marley and the Irish Immigration in the early days of the USA, at least this is one that I put a lot of heart in to.</p>
