  1. The Human Cost of Talking Trump

    His rhetoric is well documented on YouTube and other online media. I have watched his hateful rhetoric and the joke as you stated was not a joke. You just couldn’t resist bringing Obama into this. Your constant bashing of the liberal press is straight out of Goebbels play book. I know my history quite well and you however continue to repeat the same rhetoric from the past. Why not read some history. https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/the-ominous-nazi-era-precedent-to-trump-s-fake-news-attacks-1.5438960 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lying_press
  2. The Human Cost of Talking Trump

    Fun ride? Why not read Goebbels speeches, Mein Kampf and critically compare and contrast with Trump’s rhetoric. Hiding behind the the so called 10,000 things and not paying attention to current issues is a weak position. Flowing stream is hardly what I would characterize this.
  3. The Human Cost of Talking Trump

    ‘Well said! I have stated historical references regarding the horror in Germany in the 1930’s, 1940’s, which is a reminder as to what human nature is capable of. How did it begin? Words and blame. You are are absolutely correct regarding the hate, division that Trump has fomented. Propaganda is a powerful tool and I see the Goebbels influence in Trump’s rhetoric. I have read most of Goebbels speeches. Dr. Timothy Snyder is worth watching and reading on this. https://www.google.com/search?q=dr+timothy+snyder&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari
  4. The Human Cost of Talking Trump

    You offer no reasonable discussion which is authoritarian based.
  5. The Human Cost of Talking Trump

    No! He is extreme radical far right and authoritarian. Just read his posts.

    The ADL is backed by global criminal networks? You are really out of control!!
  7. The Human Cost of Talking Trump

    Are you finished with the personal attacks which you seem to relish.
  8. The Human Cost of Talking Trump

    There are a few social media sites that are cleaning up their forums. Reddit.com is one.
  9. The Human Cost of Talking Trump

    FYI, human nature is fraught with violence and to excuse such, as human nature, is giving license to a wide range of aberrant behavior. Words matter and in this context he was advocating violence.
  10. The Human Cost of Talking Trump

    That ruling applies to governmental free speech infringement only.
  11. The Human Cost of Talking Trump

    You said that the ADL (Anti Defamation League) should be beaten with a rubber hose until compliance. That is advocating violence against a Jewish group.
  12. The Human Cost of Talking Trump

    In your worldview there are no limits to speech? What about bigotry, racism, advocating violence, anti-Semitism and so forth? Words have power as seen in 1930’s/1940’s Germany where millions of innocents lost their lives and it started with hate speech, which offered up a scapegoat for sacrifice. ‘It can’t happen here’ as many who don’t read or trust historical documents comfort themselves with. History serves as a cruel reminder that it can and does happen here. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/022652583X/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1521083387&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=milton+mayer+they+thought+they+were+free&dpPl=1&dpID=514qIrAX8CL&ref=plSrch Humans have a habit of repeating violence ad Infinitum.
  13. What happened to the Matriarchal Cultures

    Apparently you didn’t read what I wrote and therefore proceeded from an incorrect conclusion. As I previously stated, “used by”, in no way implies the alt-right constructed the term. Cultural Marxism has been widely used in academic circles as well as right wing groups. To imply that I was advocating as you stated, “a Socialist utopia”, is baseless. Why have you capitalized “Right” and “Socialist”?
  14. Cannabis Legalization Movement

    Update on the Federal cannabis trial that I posted. https://www.rawstory.com/2018/02/us-judge-weighs-challenge-federal-marijuana-prohibition/ The judge only enforces the law but does not rule on a constitutional basis? Very puzzling!

  16. What happened to the Matriarchal Cultures

    The meme 'Cultural Marxism' is widely used by alt-right and extreme right wing individuals that use extremist propaganda for their individual and group goals. What is your problem with equality? And furthermore, define 'native races'. BTW, in terms of genetics, race does not exist, but is a variation in the gene pool.

    A couple of updates regarding Jefferson Beauregard Sessions antiquated war on drugs. Both of the stories below are important, and the lawsuit will have ramifications regarding legalization. https://www.thecannabist.co/2018/02/13/marijuana-jeff-sessions-gardner/98850/ https://hightimes.com/news/lawsuit-jeff-sessions-court-tomorrow/
  18. What happened to the Matriarchal Cultures

    I recommended 'Elements of Style' and a few other books to windwalker in another thread. I doubt he will consider your critique and recommendations. Most unfortunate!

    Nipton is really small, but worth the drive going through the Mojave. Let me know if you buy that rosin press.
  20. Cannabis Legalization Movement

    The legal cannabis train is rolling and there is no stopping it in most places on planet earth.
  21. Cannabis Legalization Movement

    As of now there is nothing happening in Nipton and I am thinking of changing the heading of this thread.

    The biologicals are the following; Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus subtillis. I had one term of microbiology for my degree, but that was back in the early 80's and I am not well versed on the efficacy of remediation regarding fungal problems in crop production. Although as I mentioned before the EU has approved both for food production. https://microbewiki.kenyon.edu/index.php/Bacillus_amyloliquefaciens https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacillus_subtilis
  23. Cannabis Legalization Movement

    When I have the info on biological pest control I will post it. I do know for a fact that the EU has given the green light for biological pest control on food crops. Vaping cannabis flowers that have been treated with biologicals gives me pause.

    Walmart’s rosin press. https://www.leafly.com/news/strains-products/walmart-selling-rosin-press-we-bought-one
  25. Cannabis Legalization Movement

    Walmart is now carrying a hash press. If I remember correctly High Times did a review of it.
