"The divinity of Jesus is made a convenient cover for absurdity. Nowhere in the Gospels do we find a precept for Creeds, Confessions, Oaths, Doctrines, and whole carloads of other foolish trumpery that we find in Christianity."
[John Adams]

"The question before the human race is, whether the God of nature shall govern the world by his own laws, or whether priests and kings shall rule it by fictitious miracles?"
[John Adams, letter to Thomas Jefferson]

"As I understand the Christian religion, it was, and is, a revelation. But how has it happened that millions of fables, tales, legends, have been blended with both Jewish and Christian revelation that have made them the most bloody religion that ever existed?"
[John Adams, letter to F.A. Van der Kamp, Dec. 27, 1816]

"I almost shudder at the thought of alluding to the most fatal example of the abuses of grief which the history of mankind has preserved--the Cross. Consider what calamities that engine of grief has produced!"

The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth
Extracted Textually from the Gospels
Compiled by Thomas Jefferson
Edited by Eyler Robert Coates, Sr.

. . . Thomas Jefferson believed that the ethical system of Jesus was the finest the world has ever seen. In compiling what has come to be called "The Jefferson Bible," he sought to separate those ethical teachings from the religious dogma and other supernatural elements that are intermixed in the account provided by the four Gospels. He presented these teachings, along with the essential events of the life of Jesus, in one continuous narrative.

"I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature."
-- Thomas Jefferson

America was NOT founded on Christianity!

Of Jesus] Among the sayings and discourses imputed to him by his biographers, I find many passages of fine imagination, correct morality, and of the the most lovely benevolence, and others, again of so much ignorance, so much absurdity, so much untruth, charlatanism and imposture, as to pronounce it impossible that such contradictions should have proceeded from the same being. I separate, therefore, the dross; restore to him the former and leave the latter to the stupidity of some, the roguery of others of his disciples. Of this band of dupes and imposters, Paul was the great Coryphaeus, and first corruptor of the doctrines of Jesus.
Jefferson Letter to W. Short, 1820.

But the greatest of all reformers of the depraved religion of his country was Jesus of Nazareth. Abstracting what is really his from the rubbish in which it is buried, easily distinguished by its lustre from the dross of his biographers, as is separable from that as diamonds from a dunghill, we have the outlines of a system of the most sublime morality of man ... The establishment of the innocent and genuine character of this benevolent morality, and the rescuing it from the imputation of imposture, which has resulted from artificial systems invented by ultra-Christian sects (*)... is most desirable.

(*) Jeffersons footnote: "The imaculate conception of Jesus, his deification, the creation of the world by him, his miraculous powers, his resurrection and visible ascension, his corporeal presence in the Eucharist, the Trinity, original sin, atonement, regeneration, election, orders of hierarchy, etc. -TJ"
Jefferson Letter to W. Short Oct 31, 1819

The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus by the Supreme Being as his father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter.
Thomas Jefferson, 1823

The United States is in no way founded upon the Christian religion
-- George Washington & John Adams, in a diplomatic message to Malta.

This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it.
-- John Adams, in a letter to Thomas Jefferson.

I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to Heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all.
--Thomas Jefferson

In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own.
-- Thomas Jefferson, 1814

The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus by the Supreme Being as his father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter.
-- Thomas Jefferson, 1823

I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature.
-- Thomas Jefferson

Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear.... Do not be frightened from this inquiry from any fear of its consequences. If it ends in the belief that there is no God, you will find incitements to virtue in the comfort and pleasantness you feel in its exercise...
-- Thomas Jefferson, in a 1787 letter to his nephew

The Bible is not my book, and Christianity is not my religion. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma.
-- Abraham Lincoln

Neither the trappings of robes, nor temples of stone, nor a fixed liturgy, nor an extensive literature or history is required to meet the test of beliefs cognizable under the Constitution as religious. So far as our law is concerned, one person's religious beliefs held for one day are presumptively entitled to the same protection as the beliefs of millions which have been shared for thousands of years.
-- Judge Jack Weinstein, New York State, 1977

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences.
-- C. S. Lewis

Morality is always the product of terror; its chains and strait-waistcoats are fashioned by those who dare not trust others, because they dare not trust themselves, to walk in liberty.
-- Aldous Huxley

He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression: for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach unto himself.
-- Thomas Paine

Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.
-- Daniel Webster

The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant.
-- John Stuart Mill, "On Liberty", 1859

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
-- H.L. Mencken

"Secular schools can never be tolerated because such schools have no religious instruction, and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith . . . we need believing people."
Adolf Hitler, April 26, 1933,
from a speech made during negotiations leading to the Nazi Vatican Concordant of 1933

I want to be invisible. I do guerrilla warfare. I paint my face and travel at night. You don't know it's over until you're in a body bag."
--Ralph Reed, Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, 11/9/91

"Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way around, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise."
From Benito Mussolini contributing to the "London Sunday Express," December 8, 1935

"Another weapon I discovered early was the power of the printed word to sway souls to me. The newspaper was soon my gun, my flag - a thing with a soul that could mirror my own."
Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini together in the heyday of 1930s fascism.

"The mission of the Christian Coalition is simple," says Pat Robertson. It is "to mobilize Christians -- one precinct at a time, one community at a time -- until once again we are the head and not the tail, and at the top rather than the bottom of our political system." Robertson predicts that "the Christian Coalition will be the most powerful political force in America by the end of this decade." And, "We have enough votes to run this country...and when the people say, 'We've had enough,' we're going to take over!"
--Pat Robertson

(talking about apartheid South Africa) "I think 'one man, one vote,' just unrestricted democracy, would not be wise. There needs to be some kind of protection for the minority which the white people represent now, a minority, and they need and have a right to demand a protection of their rights."
--Pat Robertson, "The 700 Club," 3/18/92

"I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over you. I want you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good...Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a Biblical duty, we are called by God, to conquer this country. We don't want equal time. We don't want pluralism."
--Randall Terry, Founder of Operation Rescue,
The News-Sentinel, Fort Wayne, Indiana, 8-16-93

Pat Robertson Loses His Mind



When Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson blamed God and America for the attacks on 9/11, it only proved how asinine they really are. This was aired only 48 hours after the attacks in New York and Washington. Ralph Reed already bailed out of the CC, Robertson finally saw the writing on the wall and resigned in December 2001. Pat's failure to get his golden boy Early elected as governor of VA and the shambles of the Gilmore Governorship (Pat claims "some credit" for his election) may have marked the end of Robertson in VA and national politics. I wouldn't count on it. continued...

do you have knowledge of the following. I have a correspondence going on with a rabid religionist in an attempt to "mine information" on WHY they take their position. Any information on this would be appreciated.

you will see that state constitutions
before and after the 1787 Constitution, as well as the Supreme Court, at least as
late as 1892 upheld the Christian influence of America, so you can put your "overturning the Constitution" rhetoric back in the can until you read and learn what is already part
of the historical record, done UNDER the Constitution. Check out the 1892
Church of the Holy Trinity vs. US, Supreme Court decision, for starters - please

and here is an example of the "state resolutions" which they appear to rely on.
Constitution of the State of Pennsylvania stated:

Frame of Government, Section 10. And each member [of the legislature], before he takes his seat, shall make and subscribe the following declaration, viz: “I do believe in one God, the Creator and Governour of the universe, the rewarder of the good and punisher of the wicked,
and I do acknowledge the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be given by Divine inspiration.” [p.504]

State law is trumped by Fed law and the Constitution has nothing to do with the actions of any individuals or groups, beit the Supremes or Congressional representatives. State law in opposition to the Constitutional protection of citizens is treason. They can not force their fantasies on anyone, period. With that said it won't stop the sheep from slaughter if they choose to not enforce their rights and let fascist religionists dictate to them. But then cowards seldom complain about losing Liberty. These same religionists practiced segregation and lynchings and witch hunts under statehood rights that were also unConstitutional. The Khristzion Koalitionists are trying to perpetuate unConstitutional laws on what citizens deem food and medicine, over state laws. The Constitution is for the individual peoples rights over dictators in the state or federal legislatures. And these bible thumping chickenhawk war mongering prohibityionists do not follow the teachings of Jesus.
Remember, all of the religions started after the ingestion of entheogenic plants. Jesus was not a Fascist or a Christian...

The Distinctly Non-Christian Origins of the United States of America

There are those who would have us believe that the United States of America was founded on Christian ideals - that the writers of the Declaration of Independence and the framers of the Constitution of the United States of America were "God-Fearing Christians." I've heard people say these things with great conviction. Christian revisionism of the history of this nation has turned George Washington - a Deist - into a "God Fearing Christian." It has led to the contamination of our currency and coins (in the 1950's) with "In God We Trust" and to the corruption of the Pledge of Allegiance (also in the 1950's) by the addition of "under God". It is now the year 2000 - an election year. Being "Born again" is all the rage amongst presidential candidates. They don't have the slightest clue how backward their beliefs would appear to the Founders of this Nation.

The first Anglo settlers in North America (I use the word "Anglo" because the continent was clearly already settled by the Native Americans) were the Puritans who arrived first in 1620. Were the Puritans Christian? To me, this is a stupid question, but I ask it for a reason. Whenever I bring up the subject of a Christian who is a murderer or rapist, my Christian friends are quick to point out to me that the person in question is not a "real" Christian. In this way - disclaiming all who are deemed undesirable - Christians are able to keep their ranks pure. This being the case, can the Christians of today honestly claim that the Puritan settlers were Christian? The Puritans murdered and stole land from Native Americans. They burned at the stake - in public forums for all to see - Witches, Heretics, Unitarians, Atheists, Agnostics ....... everyone and anyone whose beliefs differed in any way from their own. And while we are so accustomed to hearing "burned at the stake" that we are no longer appalled by the phrase, just think for a moment what that entails. The Puritans stood and watched as the flesh charred and flaked away from the bodies of their tormented victims. Did they sing "Jesus loves me" as they watched? If these people were Christian, then so is every evil person who has ever called himself or herself a Christian. If Christians wish to claim the Puritans as their own, then they have absolutely no right to say of other people that they are not "real Christians".

The United States was born with the Declaration of Independence (1776). The document was drafted by Thomas Jefferson (a distinctly anti-Christian Deist) between June 11 and June 28.

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. [.......]"

Christians often recite those portions of the Declaration of Independence which refer to the "Creator", and yet they seem to forget the fact that the document begins with a passage that refers to Nature's God. Christians will claim that the use of words such as "Creator" is a sign that Christian ideology and ideals were in the hearts and minds of the founders. Such thoughts are nothing more than Christian fantasy and delusion. The drafter of the Declaration of Independence was staunchly Deist and despised Christianity in all its forms.

"I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature."
- Thomas Jefferson



From the author of the website As everyone who knows me knows, I am a great George Orwell fan. In Orwell's wonderful Novel Animal Farm, the animals become rather dismayed by their poor memories. Poor Clover could have sworn the commandment on the barn wall was "No animal shall kill any other animal," but it clearly say "No animal shall kill any other animal without cause." And the commandment isn't "No animal shall drink alcohol" after all - it is "No animal shall drink alcohol to excess." And for the longest time the animals had faulty memories of the motto "Four legs good - Two legs bad" for the motto was actually "Four legs good - Two legs better."

Are we a Christian Nation? Those who ask this question are frequently greeted with a bellowing "We are One Nation UNDER GOD!" I for one have personally received that response on numerous occasions. And like poor Clover in Animal Farm, I am just a dumb animal and I think to myself "One nation under God .... Yes, that's how I remember it ... that sounds right." And being a dumb animal, I look at the coins in my pocket and read "IN GOD WE TRUST" and I think "That's how I remember it - that's how it has always been."

But the wool has been pulled over my eyes, for the country is not as it once was. It was during the anti-Communist paranoia of the 1950's that the words "under God" and "In God We Trust" penetrated our government and altered (unconstitutionally) our Pledge of Allegiance, our coins, and our currency." But as sinister and appalling as these changes are, I do not fear them as they are in the past. The changes that I fear are those that lie in the future. Be vigilant, and be wise!

Or, if you would like to read about how the Christians stole Christmas (and Easter and Valentine's Day) from secular people and made these holidays religious.

It was founded on rebelion agaist unfair laws and rule thats the truth folks.

and, because many who colonized did so to avoid persecution, they (the founding fathers) went out of their way to protect the rights of the minority from the rule of the majority.

The complete absence of even one mention of the word "God" in the Constitution speaks volumes in it's silence.

This was written in a time when putting references to "God" in documents was utterly conventional.

There was a reason our Founding Fathers left mention of "God" OUT of the Constitution.

[LNAB]

well, here is the tripe they point to as their argument that it was OK TO BE A BIGOTED CHRISTIAN NATION until 1963. Give it a read...

America Was A Christian Nation
and then came the liberals

December 3, 2002

On words such as these, this nation was founded:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness..." Excerpt from the Declaration of Independence.

By a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court of the United States, in Holy Trinity Church v. U.S., 143 U.S. 457 (1892) declared in the Opinion written for the Court by Mr. Justice Brewer, that "These and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation."

One of the clearer (and most amazing in light of today's court decisions) is this statement from the pen of Mr.Justice Brewer in the Holy Trinity opinion:

"It is a familiar rule that a thing may be within the letter of the statute and yet not within the statute, because not within its spirit nor within the intention of its makers."

Nowhere could this generation apply Mr. Justice Brewer's words more frequently or forcefully than in recent state, federal and bureaucratic decisions, edicts and opinions regarding the First Amendment's intent and meaning when it states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...." Assailants who wish to destroy any and all exhibitions of the Christian faith, or even the Ten Commandments that are as Jewish as they are Christian, asserts their supposed "rights" to be offended at a Christian nation or any public display of Christianity in flagrant violation of the latter part of the "establishment of religion" clause of the First Amendment. They do so with the aid and consent of liberal judges and justices not by reason of, but in defiance of, the religious establishment clause.

If by "Christian nation" one means a theocracy such as was the case with ancient Israel until the time the people demanded a king (so they could be like the pagan nations around them), then no, America never has been a Christian theocracy. Not all of its founders were practicing Christians. A few were deists, or reported to be deists. Yet the acceptance of the Bible as the written word of God was nowhere publicly disputed but rather, is down to this very day used for administering oaths of office.

At this point I seem to hear atheists and liberals wailing in the background and from outside the garden walls, "But what about the separation of church and state? We demand that this nation honor the provision of separation of church and state!"

First of all, that language came from a private letter of Thomas Jefferson to the elders of Danbury Baptist Association, who were most concerned that another denomination might restrict their freedom of worship by enacting local or state laws against their denomination. If any of you have been looking in our founding documents, the charter of our land, or the amendments, you will not find that language there. It is from a personal letter dealing with an urgent concern for one denomination's religious freedom should another denomination seek to infringe upon their liberties to worship as they please. Thomas Jefferson addressed this issue in the context of the matter at hand, stating in part:

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God; that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship; that the legislative powers of the government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should `make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between church and State.

This is the so-called "pronouncement" of separation of church and state, and it refers to exactly the same topic of concern as did the Danbury letter, which had absolutely nothing to do with displays of religious articles or texts, but of the dominance of one denomination over another. "Separation of church and state" as mentioned therein, and its famous "wall" were intended to assure religious people that the state would not interfere with the rights of a church or religious group (absent the commission of a crime, such as human sacrifice or other felonious act in the name of religion), or establish any preference for one group over another. The "wall of separation" was to keep the government out of the free exercise of religion, not to keep religion out of government!

This general mindset toward America's Christian heritage within a nation that respected the religious rights of all, Christian and non-Christian, to worship (or not worship) as they please, existed until a liberal Supreme Court, stuffed with liberal justices from the days of the presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, allowed the gavel to strike the cross in 1963!

Between the presidency of Thomas Jefferson and the 1963 Supreme Court decision in Abington School Dist. v. Schempp, 374 U.S. 203 (1963) which was decided in conjunction with Murray v. Curlett (the infamous Madelyn Murray O'Hair case), the liberal justices that had been appointed to the Supreme Court decided to violate the common sense established in the 1892 case of Holy Trinity Church v. U.S., supra.

In 1892, the opinion of the Supreme Court regarding the misconstruction of the intent or spirit of the law as well as the letter, was penned by Mr. Justice Brewer as follows:

It is a familiar rule that a thing may be within the letter of the statute and yet not within the statute, because not within its spirit nor within the intention of its makers. This has been often asserted, and the Reports are full of cases illustrating its application. This is not the substitution of the will of the judge for that of the legislator; for frequently words of general meaning are used in a statute, words broad enough to include an act in question, and yet a consideration of the whole legislation, or of the circumstances surrounding its enactment, or of the absurd results which follow from giving such broad meaning to the words, makes it unreasonable to believe that the legislator intended to include the particular act.

It is perhaps safe to say that the nonsense espoused by the liberal agenda against this nation's historic Christian faith, and the incidents of "being offended" would not have elicited any sympathy from the Supreme Court Justices on the bench in 1892, because they seem to have relied on that lost entity, common sense, as well as on their expertise in matters of the law.

Further, the 1892 Supreme Court took into consideration that one could actually follow the letter of the law (which is not the case in the various "separation of church and state" arguments since 1963) and violate the spirit of the law. The violation of the second clause of the "establishment of religion" portion of the First Amendment — not prohibiting the free exercise of religion — has made the first portion of it absurd and far afield from the founders' intentions, and the whole of the First Amendment a warped, twisted parody of our basic rights as a free people who must respect the freedom of others in order to retain our own. Those who would prohibit the free exercise of the Christian faith, or utter direct lies about this nation's Christian heritage, may one day have to account for why neither they nor their fellow countrymen have any freedom left!

In fact, Mr. Justice Brewer, in the 1892 opinion, went so far as to state:

[T]he court says: "All laws should receive a sensible construction. General terms should be so limited in their application as not to lead to injustice, oppression, or an absurd consequence...." (Emphasis added.)

What would he think of the decisions being rendered by today's courts? He probably would ask what country this is, and whether it would perhaps be possible for him to return to America? Sir, this is what has become of America!

This same Mr. Justice Brewer is the one who wrote for the Court, in the 1892 Holy Trinity Church vs. U.S. case:

[T]he churches and church organizations which abound in every city, town, and hamlet; the multitude of charitable organizations existing everywhere under Christian auspices; the gigantic missionary associations, with general support, and aiming to establish Christian missions in every quarter of the globe. These and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation. (Emphasis added.)

So stated the Supreme Court in 1892. Liberalism, Marxism, socialism, and every other "ism" that is hostile to the Christian faith has, with the support of liberal judges and justices, shattered the letter and spirit of the law of the land as set forth in our founding documents, and has insulted the grace of God by which this nation was established.

If anyone still doubts that America was a Christian nation, let them review the charters of the original colonies, the charters of such states as Massachusetts, Pennsylvania or New York.

It is still true that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. Look at what has happened in just the past fifty years. We are now a warrior nation, a nation-building nation, an incipient empire.

We have become what we were founded in order to avoid.

Christ and Cannabis, Jesus Used Marijuana
As doubtful as the following hypothesis might first seem to the reader, I might as well boldly state my case right from the start: either Jesus used marijuana or he was not the Christ. The very word "Christ", by the implication of its linguistic origins and true meaning, gives us the most profound evidence that Jesus did in fact use the same herb as his ancient semitic ancestors, and which is still used by people around the world for its enlightening and healing properties.

The Scythians, High Plains Drifters...

Excerpted: The Scythians were a barbaric group of pre-Common Era nomadic tribes who are a fascinating example of an ancient cannabis using group. The Scythians played a very important part in the Ancient World from the seventh to first century BC. They were expert horsemen, and were one of the earliest peoples to master the art of riding and using horse-drawn covered wagons. This early high mobility is probably why most scholars credit them with the spread of cannabis knowledge throughout the ancient world. Indeed, the Scythian people travelled and settled extensively throughout Europe, the Mediterranean, Central Asia, and Russia, bringing their knowledge of the spiritual and practical uses for cannabis with them.

Mellowing with Time
It could well be that in later times the cannabis smoke had somewhat mellowed the Scythians, and their spiritual leaders directed them towards becoming a more civilized people. The ancient Greek historian Ephorus wrote in the fourth century BC that the Scythians 'feed on mares milk and excel all men in justice'. His comments were followed in the first century BC by Strabo, who wrote that 'we regard the Scythians as the most just of men and the least prone to mischief, as also far more frugal and independent of others than we are.' continued...

THEN GOD SAID, I GIVE YOU EVERY SEED-BEARING PLANT
ON THE FACE OF THE WHOLE EARTH,
AND EVERY TREE THAT HAS FRUIT IN IT."
GENESIS 1:29-30

Those words seem straightforward enough, and yet cannabis and most other psychoactive medicine plants are outlawed in our society. Those who use these plant gat eways to other states of consciousness are jailed for doing so.

Ironically, the major force for continuing this plant prohibition is a group referred to as the Christian Right. They claim to believe in both the Bible and old Yahweh, yet Yahweh's opinion on the matter is stated quite clearly in the above quotation.

This article shows how the Old Testament Prophets were none other than ancient shamans, and that cannabis and other entheogens played a very prominent role in ancient Hebrew culture. continued... http://www.cannabisculture.com/backissues/.../kanehbosm.html

When Smoke Gets in My Eye By Chris Bennet

The First Cultivated Crop

Ancient and modern historians, archaeologists, anthropologists and philologists all agree that cannabis is one of mankind's oldest cultivated crops. The weaving of hemp fibre began 10,000 years ago, at approximately the same time as pottery making and prior to metal working.

In his book The Dragons of Eden, Carl Sagan has speculated that cannabis may have been the first crop cultivated by stone age man. He based this assertion upon the example of the pygmies. The pygmies were basically hunter-gatherers until they started planting the cannabis which they used for religious purposes. The pygmies say that they have been smoking cannabis "since the beginning of time."

Professor Richard E. Schultes, the director of the Botanical Museum at Harvard University and a prominent researcher in the field of psychoactive plants, wrote an article titled Man and Marijuana in which he states: ...early man experimented with all plant materials that he could chew and could not have avoided discovering the properties of cannabis (marijuana), for in his quest for seeds and oil, he certainly ate the sticky tops of the plant. Upon eating hemp, the euphoric, ecstatic and hallucinatory aspects may have introduced man to an other-worldly plane from which emerged religious beliefs, perhaps even the concept of deity. The plant became accepted as a special gift of the gods, a sacred medium for communion with the spiritual world and as such it has remained in some cultures to the present.

The effects of cannabis was proof to the ancients that the spirit and power of the gods (or goddesses) existed in this plant and that it was literally a messenger (angel), or actually the flesh and blood and/or bread of the god/s, and therefore a holy sacrament. continued...

Cannabis and the Bible(Coptic)
Herb (Ganja/Cannabis) is a Godly creation from the beginning of the world. It is known as the weed of wisdom, angel's food, the tree of life and even the "Wicked Old Ganja Tree". Its purpose in creation is as a fiery sacrifice to be offered to our Redeemer during obligations. The political worldwide organizations have framed mischief on it and called it drugs. To show that it is not a dangerous drug, let me inform my readers that it is used as food for mankind, and as a medicinal cure for diverse diseases. Ganja is not for commerce; yet because of the oppression of the people, it was raised up as the only liberator of the people, and the only peacemaker among the entire generation. Ganja is the sacramental rights of every man worldwide and any law against it is only the organized conspiracy of the United Nations and the political governments who assist in maintaining this conspiracy.

EVIDENCE INDICATING THE SEMITIC ORIGIN OF CANNABIS
http://www.etext.org/Politics/CRC/incense

Excerpted: The name cannabis is generally thought to be of Scythian origin. Sula Benet in Cannabis and Culture argues that it has a much earlier origin in Semitic languages like Hebrew, occurring several times in the Old Testament. He states that in Exodus 30:23 that God commands Moses to make a holy anointing oil of myrrh, sweet cinnamon, kaneh bosm, and kassia. He continues that the word kaneh bosm is also rendered in the traditional Hebrew as kannabos or kannabus and that the root "kan" in this construction means "reed" or "hemp," while "bosm" means "aromatic." He states that in the earliest Greek translations of the old testament "kan" was rendered as "reed," leading to such erroneous English translations as "sweet calamus" (Exodus 30:23), sweet cane (Isaiah 43:24; Jeremiah 6:20) and "calamus" (Ezekiel 27:19; Song of Songs 4:14). Benet argues from the linguistic evidence that cannabis was known in Old Testament times at least for its aromatic properties and that the word for it passed from the Semitic language to the Scythians, i.e. the Ashkenaz of the Old Testament.

The jewish people recognized that hempseed oil burned brighter, longer and cleaner in their oil lamps. This relates directly to hanukah. If GOD gave them oil and supplies to last through desparate times, was it indeed hemp seed oil?

The first historic Pledge of Allegiance speech is exposed
"rex" rexy@ij.net 30 Mar 2004

The first website to publish Francis Bellamy's address for Columbus Day in 1892 entitled "The Meaning of the Four Centuries" is at RexCurry.net. http://members.ij.net/rex/pledgespeech.html which accompanied the first publication of his Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. Modern support for the Pledge exists only because the media and government schools suppress the true intent behind the Pledge, and Bellamy's speech, and his terrifying ideas. "The Meaning of the Four Centuries" shows that Bellamy viewed the pledge of allegiance and government schools as a way to promote his totalitarian socialism. The Pledge of Allegiance was written so that children would place flags in government schools and repeatedly pledge allegiance to Bellamy's totalitarian socialism.

The original socialist salute for Bellamy's Pledge of Allegiance was a straight-arm salute like the salute adopted 3 decades later by the National Socialist German Workers' Party.
http://members.ij.net/rex/pledge1.html



Bellamy was a self-proclaimed socialist...
http://members.ij.net/rex/pledgetragedy.html

Bellamy uses the absurd modern cliche...
http://members.ij.net/rex/socialists.html

This is a reference to the totalitarian socialist novel "Looking Backward" by Edward Bellamy, the cousin of Francis Bellamy. In it, society has become one giant socialist monopoly. Men are treated as military draftees, from the age of twenty-one until the age of forty-five, in society's industrial army (for more on that see http://members.ij.net/rex/pledge_military.html ). Bellamy's glorification of the military includes government assignment of all jobs. Everyone is issued ration cards which are used to draw goods from government storehouses. By force of government, no one may have any more than anyone else. The entire education system is only a government school system and it creates the industrial army and of the entire socialist monopoly system. Edward Bellamy portrayed it as utiopia.

Bellamy refers to native-americans as "savages"
http://members.ij.net/rex/pledgebigot.html

Bellamy is also another socialist bigot in his absurd calls for "equality" because he hates the fact that every individual is different and he want to use government to force everyone to be the same.
http://members.ij.net/rex/equality.html

Bellamy perverts the U.S. idea of equlity before the law
http://members.ij.net/rex/equality.html ) the same as in the totalitarian socialist novel "Looking Backward." If Bellamy had lived to our current year, he could have "looked backward" at atrocities in those countries that shared his ideas, including the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (62 million killed), the Peoples' Republic of China (35 million killed) and the National Socialist German Workers' Party (21 million killed)
http://members.ij.net/rex/socialists.html

Bellamy repeatedly uses the misnomer "Public School" instead of "Government School" and speech concludes with "We march as one army," another terrifying reference to the totalitarian socialist novel "Looking Backward" and Francis Bellamy's "Industrial Army" marching out of government schools. It explains why the original pledge of allegiance had a salute that began with a military salute (that extended during the pledge to a straight-arm salute) in keeping with the "Industrial Army" and the military-socialist complex. see http://members.ij.net/rex/pledge_military.html

See the Petition for Writ of Certiorari
http://rexcurry.net/fijawrit2.html

While it is true that the first pledge did not contain the phrase "under God," the accompanying articles for the first Pledge program contained many religious references.

Bellamy was a preacher, and a member of the Society of Christian Socialists, and was expelled from the ministry for giving speeches such as "Jesus the Socialist" (finding a copy of that speech is harder than finding photos of the original Nazi-style salute to the flag).
http://rexcurry.net/pledge2.html Bellamy was theistic and he was a religious wacko.



History of 'In God We Trust'
A law passed by the 84th Congress (P.L. 84-140) and approved by the President on July 30, 1956, the President approved a Joint Resolution of the 84th Congress, declaring IN GOD WE TRUST the national motto of the United States. IN GOD WE TRUST was first used on paper money in 1957, when it appeared on the one-dollar silver certificate. The first paper currency bearing the motto entered circulation on October 1, 1957. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) was converting to the dry intaglio printing process. During this conversion, it gradually included IN GOD WE TRUST in the back design of all classes and denominations of currency.
http://www.treas.gov/education/fact-sheets...d-we-trust.html

Across the country, there is a movement afoot.
It isn't using picket signs, or a flood of letters to congress, or even a lawsuit -- that's already been tried. Instead, some Atheists and separationists are taking pen in hand, and obliterating the "In God We Trust" motto from the national currency. Others are using rubber stamps, or inserting their own messages like "In Reason We Trust," or "Keep Church and State Separate." Mention religious slogans in an internet newsgroup or at a meeting and eyebrows are suddenly raised. Opinions are expressed. And there's a tame call to action, even if does only use the nearest ball-point or magic marker.

Where did "In God We Trust" originate? Many mistakenly believe that it has been the national motto since revolutionary days; but the phraseology is strictly religious in origin.

The national motto adopted by the Founders was inscribed next to the Great Seal of the United States, a decoration devised under the supervision of Franklin, Adams and Jefferson. It was Jefferson who suggested "E Pluribus Unum," and that slogan was adopted in 1782, five years before the Constitutional convention of 1787.

It wasn't until nearly a century later, though, that "In God We Trust" was seriously proposed as a motto. Writing in her book "Freedom Under Siege," (J.P.Tarcher, Los Angeles, 1974), Madalyn O'Hair delineated the historical background for readers:

"In 1861, the Reverend M.R. Watkinson persuaded the secretary of the Treasury to try to introduce 'In God We Trust' as a motto on the coins of the land, arguing on the theological premise that in a Judeo-Christian nation, 'There is but one God.' Congress, then beginning to be responsive to the religious community and the votes that it was presumed to control, passed the Coinage Act of April 22, 1864, which designated that 'In God We Trust' be put on coins 'when and where sufficient space in the balance of the design' would permit it."

"In God We Trust" Removal Petition
To: The U.S. Treasury, Bureau of Engraving and Printing

We, the undersigned, petition the Bureau of Engraving and Printing of the of the United States’ Treasury to remove the statement consisting of, "In God We Trust" from all future currency created in the United States of America.

It is our firm belief that it is unconstitutional to force ones thoughts of God, or a god upon another American. We have the right to religious freedom, as well as the right of freedom from religion. For those who are not believers in God, or a god should not have to feel as though it is a wrong belief due to the symbolism on our money. Nor should they be made to feel out of place due to the forcing of the idea of a god onto them. The American society has more faiths then Christianity and other deity based beliefs, so the American citizens shouldn’t be forced or stereotyped as being one. Many people come to this country so they can be free to express themselves religiously, and to place the comment on the back of the currency we feel is going against our right, and to remain fair to all other beliefs it shouldn’t have a place on our money. Unless you want to make a different currency for each belief it would save many problems and contrasty if the line were simply removed from the U.S. currency. Sincerely,

"In God We Trust" -- The National Lie
I recently sat down with my wallet and began ritualistically crossing out the "In God We Trust" off the back of all my bills. I do this regularly to support the idea of separation of church and state. This particular time I came across a ten dollar bill that lacked the offending mark. Closer examination indicated that it was a 1950 series ten dollar bill. In addition to the lack of a "In God We Trust" mark this bill also promised to pay me ten dollars in legal currency upon presentation to the department of the treasury, an interesting element for another writer and another article.

It got me to thinking that if the God Mark wasn't there in 1950 when and where did this offending mark come from? In 1782 Jefferson, who coined the phrase 'wall of separation between church and state,' authored the first national motto. From an Deist and separationist like Jefferson this motto was clearly secular. "E Pluribus Unum," (One from Many) was this first motto and still part of the great seal of the United States. This motto appeared on the first coin in 1798 and in 1837 was required by law to appear on all U.S. coins. It still appears on coins today. continued...

Spending Godless Money By Mitchell Kahle
"In God We Trust" was put on all paper currency by an Act of Congress in 1955; the phrase was declared the national motto by an Act of Congress in 1956 and first appeared on paper currency in 1957.

The mid-to-late 1950s were a time of overt racism, religious discrimination, and political oppression in the United States. McCarthyism was at its feverous peak. The "red scare" had Congress and President Eisenhower acting in paranoid fits of illegal and unconstitutional activity. The FBI, under the militant J. Edgar Hoover, engaged in illegal spying campaigns against Americans. continued...

In the early 1990s, the Freedom From Religion Foundation filed a lawsuit to remove "In God We Trust" from currency and as our national motto, but their case was dismissed by a federal judge on the grounds that "In God We Trust" is not a religious phrase. If "In God We Trust" is not a religious phrase, what is it? Of course the judge did not attempt to justify his absurd claim.

Joy Beckerman and James Horn, owners of the Heaven On Earth Hemp Store, report that the police came to them with Xerox copies of stamped dollar bills and a written warning from the secret service specifying that the practice of defacing United States currency was a federal crime. Although Horn admits that the local officers were laid back about the whole issue, he claims that the notice stated that the U.S. Attorney General would be contacted and charges would be pressed if the couple didn't immediately stop the stamping.

Hemp Food Association
http://www.hempfood.com

Hemp grain is the most nutritionally complete seed on the planet for human consumption. Each hemp seed contains 25% protein. This protein is more easily digestible than the protein in soybeans because it contains a perfect ratio of essential fatty acids (EFA's). EFA's are important for strengthening your immune system and protecting you from disease. Fish oil and flax oil are also high in EFA's, but hemp contains the most perfect ratio of EFA's for human consumption. Hemp grain is also high in iron and calcium and is an excellent source of dietary fiber

Interviews PBS: Religion & Ethics: Medical Marijuana
CN Source: PBS November 19, 2004

BOB ABERNETHY, anchor: This past Election Day, voters in Montana approved the use of marijuana if a doctor recommends it to relieve pain. That brings to 10 the number of states --almost all in the West -- that now permit so-called medical marijuana.

But that permission at the state level remains in contradiction to federal law, which forbids marijuana use for any reason. Lucky Severson reports.

LUCKY SEVERSON: This is a privately operated, legally protected pot garden in the U.S. -- at least for now. The garden is located near Santa Cruz in California. The garden belongs to a nonprofit group called Women's Alliance for Medical Marijuana, known as WAMM. Valerie Corral founded WAMM after a car accident years ago left her with severe epilepsy and unbearable migraines. Her doctor prescribed medicine, but she says it didn't help. Her husband agrees.

MIKE CORRAL (Women's Alliance for Medical Marijuana): I don't think I can really describe the difficulty and the sadness that we both went through during those years, until we discovered marijuana.

SEVERSON: But they won't get a sympathetic hearing from the White House office of national drug control policy.

DAVID MURRAY (White House Office of National Drug Control Policy): Unfortunately, the information that we have to date about smoked marijuana is that it is an illusion -- it does not address therapeutic needs of patients. In fact, the likelihood is high that they are actually doing more damage to themselves by taking in this substance.

"The horrors experienced by many young inmates, particularly those who are convicted of nonviolent offenses, border on the unimaginable. Prison rape not only threatens the lives of those who fall prey to their aggressors, but it is potentially devastating to the human spirit. Shame, depression, and a shattering loss of self-esteem accompany the perpetual terror the victim thereafter must endure." U.S. Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun, Farmer v. Brennan

Bush's Faustian Deal With the Taliban
Published May 22, 2001 in the Los Angeles Times
Enslave your girls and women, harbor anti-U.S. terrorists, destroy every vestige of civilization in your homeland, and the Bush administration will embrace you. All that matters is that you line up as an ally in the drug war, the only international cause that this nation still takes seriously.

That's the message sent with the recent gift of $43 million to the Taliban rulers of Afghanistan, the most virulent anti-American violators of human rights in the world today. The gift, announced last Thursday by Secretary of State Colin Powell, in addition to other recent aid, makes the U.S. the main sponsor of the Taliban and rewards that "rogue regime" for declaring that opium growing is against the will of God. So, too, by the Taliban's estimation, are most human activities, but it's the ban on drugs that catches this administration's attention.

Never mind that Osama bin Laden still operates the leading anti-American terror operation from his base in Afghanistan, from which, among other crimes, he launched two bloody attacks on American embassies in Africa in 1998.

Sadly, the Bush administration is cozying up to the Taliban regime at a time when the United Nations, at U.S. insistence, imposes sanctions on Afghanistan because the Kabul government will not turn over Bin Laden.

The war on drugs has become our own fanatics' obsession and easily
trumps all other concerns. How else could we come to reward the Taliban, who has subjected the female half of the Afghan population to a continual reign of terror in a country once considered enlightened in its treatment of women? continued...

Slave Labor Means Big Bucks For U.S. Corporations
At the same time, the United States blasts China for the the use of prison slave labor, engaging in the same practice itself. Prison labor is a pot of gold. No strikes, union organizing, health benefits, unemployment insurance or workers' compensation to pay. As if exploiting the labor of prison inmates was not bad enough, it is legal in the United States to use slave labor. The 13th Amendment of the Constitution states that "neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted shall exist within the United States."

More Khristzions Conserving Compassion...

Straight, Incorporated 12 Nov, 2001

Orwellian anti-drug programs humiliate and abuse youth in a horrifying program of mind control.

In 1982, Leigh Ann Bright was a rebellious teenager who used marijuana and alcohol. Her mom told her she had to talk to counselors at a St Petersburg, Florida drug rehab institution called Straight, Incorporated.

A week before her 15th birthday, Bright went to Straight's building, a converted warehouse. She began chatting with two other teenaged girls, who suddenly announced that they were "peer counselors" who believed Bright had a "serious drug problem" requiring long-term treatment. They told Bright to sign a form agreeing to participate in Straight's residential rehab program. She tried to get out of the room and asked to speak to her parents. She was prevented from exiting. Other Straights joined in, telling Bright she would be "court ordered into the program" unless she signed the consent form.

"They said I could leave after 14 days," Bright recalled recently.

Now a 33-year-old accountant who worked full time while earning two bachelor's degrees, Bright says she is "haunted" by what happened to her in Straight's warehouse nearly 20 years ago.

For six months, not 14 days, Bright was sequestered in the Straight program against her will, without a shred of peace or privacy, without permission to communicate freely with the outside world.

"I was crying and desperate. I was a prisoner," she says.

Going to the bathroom, showering, getting dressed, sleeping, eating - the youngster's most intimate acts were monitored by Straight staffers, most of whom were troubled teens who had been in the program longer than her.

During the day, Bright and hundreds of other youngsters were forced to participate in bizarre rituals. They were required to write "moral inventories," detailing how drugs and sex "ruined" their lives. They sat through hours of lurid encounter group sessions in hot, unventilated rooms, listening to emotional discussions and Straight's Orwellian philosophy.

Bright felt she had been kidnapped by a cult-like organization.

"Straight had its own really weird lingo and some group customs," Bright recalls, describing fellow inmates who jumped around, frothed at the mouth, and waved their arms in reckless abandon during surreal "motivational-confessional" sessions in which they were compelled to publicly disclose their deepest, darkest secrets.

Girls and boys were in separate areas of a large room during these sessions.

"You could hear the boys complaining about being sexually abused," Bright said. "It was like any prison - if somebody wants you and can overpower you, you're fair game. Their stories were horrible." continued...

Arnold Trebach: Many premier medical people…
have been involved in organizations that harm youth.

Dr Arnold Trebach, a political science professor, public interest attorney, and author, founded the institute in 1999 after retiring from the Drug Policy Foundation, which he founded in 1986. During his 50 year career as a civil rights official, professor, and reform advocate, the 73-year-old Trebach has increasingly focused on the drug war as a symbol of what's wrong with America. Trebach's 1987 book, The Great Drug War, is perhaps the best single volume about the subject. Its unparalleled credibility and comprehensiveness are grounded in Trebach's abundant skills as a policy analyst, legal scholar, and investigative journalist.

The book contains a chapter describing in chilling detail the incarceration of Fred Collins, now a doctorate-holding professor of mathematics, in the St Petersburg Straight facility in 1982. Collins did not have a drug abuse problem, but his brother George was already in the program, and Straight often demanded that siblings of inmates also be enrolled in residential treatment. Fred Collins' parents tricked him into entering the Straight building. He was held there in abysmal conditions against his will until he escaped four months later.

Putting Faith In a Social Service Role; Church-Based Providers Freed From Many Rules
CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex. - Over the door of one church-based drug treatment center in Houston, a sign printed in foot-high letters announces: "Drug Addiction Is NOT a Disease. It's a Sin." At another, clients pass by a poster of an addict in a hospital bed, ripping IV tubes out of his arms and throwing his pills in the garbage. An angel hovers nearby, offering her protection from this plague of prescriptions.

Human Rights Watch has documented abominable conditions for children in detention in countries around the world. In the United States (Colorado, Georgia, Louisiana, and Maryland), Pakistan, Jamaica, among other countries, children are subjected to excessive force, inadequate medical and mental health care, and are provided with little or no education. Often, these children are placed in the facilities along side adults, exposing them to physical and sexual abuse.

Official Corruption
Soon after Drugczar Carlton Turner left office, Nancy Reagan recommended that no corporation be permitted to do business with the Federal government without having a urine purity policy in place to show their loyalty. Just as G. Gordon Liddy went into high-tech corporate security after his disgrace, Carlton Turner became a rich man in what has now become a huge growth industry: urine-testing.

This kind of business denies the basic rights of privacy, self-incrimination (Fifth Amendment) rights, unreasonable search and seizure, and the presumption of innocence (until proven guilty). Submission to the humiliation of having your most private body parts and functions observed by a hired voyeur is now the test of eligibility for private employment, or to contract for a living wage. Turner's new money-making scheme demands that all other Americans relinquish their fundamental right to privacy and self-respect.

Dare has stranglehold on Drug education!
Communities should have alternatives to using the DARE program, becuause of it's ineffectiveness. There are other programs out there infinitely more effective, but DARE has a stranglehold on drug education. DARE has contributed to increased drug use, and should be replaced with a more effective program. DARE gets some of it's funding from Pharmaceutical companies, so there lies a dubious fact right there.

Amanita muscaria and cannabis sativa - keys to Christianity?
Ironically, it is very often those who designate themselves as Christians who are most vocal and active in their support for measures to persecute and imprison those who actually know 'Jesus' more intimately than any self-righteous prohibitionist ever could, even as so-called Christians read and study the Gospels of Jesus as printed on the tissue-thin hemp paper used in the majority of modern Bibles (source: Zondervan Books). They reject the true sacrament and settle for stale bread and sour grapes.

Soma revealed by Chris Bennett (12 Jan, 2004)
Scholarly research and archeological evidence show that the ancient and mysterious God-plant Soma was actually cannabis. The identity of the ancient plant known as Soma is one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in the field of religious history. Common in the religious lore of both ancient India and Persia, the sacred Soma plant was considered a God. When Soma was pressed and made into a drink, the ancient worshipper who imbibed it gained the powerful attributes of this God.

Therapeutic Hemp Oil by Andrew Weil, M.D.
The nutritional composition of oil from the marijuana plant could be beneficial to your health. To most people, Cannabis sativa is synonymous with marijuana, but the plant's Latin name means the "useful hemp." Species designated sativa (useful) are usually among the most important of all crops. In fact, the utility of hemp is manifold: the plant has provided human beings with fiber, edible seeds, an edible oil, and medicine, not just a notorious mind-altering drug.

Marijuana Drug Czar Distorts Report

Astonishingly, Walters claims that the 1999 Institute of Medicine report didn't urge the government to allow seriously ill people legal access to medical marijuana on a case-by-case basis. What the institute did say about medical use of marijuana by AIDS and cancer patients was "nausea, appetite loss, pain and anxiety are all afflictions of wasting, and all can be mitigated by marijuana." Maybe these experts were duped. Maybe John Walters, unbeknown to us, has medical expertise beyond that of the world's leading physicians and researchers. Or maybe he's lying in a desperate attempt to save a collapsing policy.
