Wierdness At "Natural News"

Image
An outlet for a good amount of much needed skepticism of conventional patent medicine, yet plagued by the recent "'opioid' epidemic"hysteria campaign that pushes the very polices creating and worsening the problem. They censored me when I attempted leaving comments questioning that stance. Now, with an article charging a "liberal media" with promoting censorship , Natural News informs me that they are banning me from even attempting to place any comments. Natural News claims to oppose censorship.  They have published a number of articles where they purport to be opposed to censorship, such as these:  https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-07-16-2-censorship-by-tech-giants-is-an-assault-on-the-right-to-exist-in-an-online-dominated-society.html  https://www.naturalnews.com/048131_censored_news_2014_alternative_media.html Yet censorship is exactly what Natural News practices here, as I personally found, when I attempted to comment about their indefensible and irresp...

Holder to Slightly Reduce Drug Sentencing?

Image
U.S. Attorney General and once Covington & Burling pharmaceutical industry attorney Eric Holder announces a change in U.S. Justice Department prosecutorial procedure to omit the amount of contraband from charging documents, though not from the actual sentencing- admitting that the US spends some $80 billion annually for incarceration. But if he were truly serious, there's so much more that he and the Obama Administration could do. From the comments section at the Facebook page of the Drug Policy Alliance: Barack Obama could end the Federal Drug War right now if he wanted to and he either doesn't want to end it or he doesn't have the courage to end it! I am interested in your comments but please read ALL of this before you try to apologize for him and tell me that it isn't his fault or that he doesn't have the power. Read on . . . As President, Barack Obama has the power of the Bully Pulpit to set the tone for change and refuse to sign new laws that furthe...

Licit & Illicit Drugs Missed the Connection

Image
The book that provides this telling picture of what the drug war did for cigarettes, misses the agricultural mercantilism repression of Coca, for the promotion of Tobacco. It fails to cite any of the history of Coca's use as a 'Tobacco habit cure", nor of this concern of the USDA., such as with the targeting of Coca-Bola. It's chapter on "Coca Leaves" is perhaps this 623 page book's shortest, at a mere 3 pages. It's chapter "A Program for the Future" concerning Tobacco postulates the task of finding a less harmful substutute, without of course bothering to even mention the history of Coca's use here. Keeping carcinogenic smoke out of the lungs, however is only a parial solution.  Switching to cigars, pipes and chewing Tobacco does not eliminate the risk of cancers of the oral cavity.  Moreover, the bulk of the damage suffered by smokers is due to diseases of the heart and circulatory system- and it is the nicotine itself that has adve...
