Fracking Marijuana GMO blow: Jann Scott’s Journal
May 4th
Marijuana chickens have come home to roost in Colorado Here are some of the problems we have. Russian gangs and Colombian drug cartels have moved in and are starting to take over. The DEA is busting them in Boulder and Denver but local law enforcement officials refuse to cooperate with DEA. They are corrupt. DEA does not trust local lE. They hate each other. One division chief here told me there has been a long standing feud. The DEA told me that they are investigating all grow and pot shops in Boulder and that they have been preparing cases on everyone involved including publicly elected officials. They include Boulder County DA Stan Garnet, US congressman Jared Polis, the entire Boulder city council and city staff. Polis has been going after the DEA and has been a strong proponent for legalization. Other problems include potency of edibles which nobody is investigating except news media. Ecoli, mold spores and Botulism have been found in pot shops and grow centers through a lab investigation done by the Denver Post. Colorado department of health told me they are looking into it. But they and Boulder county health department are so far behind the 8 ball they embarrass themselves. All of these pot operations should be shut down until theses diseases are eliminated. Meanwhile people are getting sick and children are overdosing. There have been grow fires too from baking pot oil in home bakeries which are also illegal. There is a banking problem since selling marijuana violates dozens of federal laws. One senior Boulder banking official told me that if they opened drug related checking accounts, the DEA could walk right in and seize all of the assents and then arrest bankers. This is done routinely across America. A Boulder Sheriffs official told me ” they had no idea what they were doing when they decided to open all of these grow operations and pot shops” “The consequences have been dire.” But Colorado and Boulder where I live has now overdosed on drugs and it is a mess.
GMOs have been around since 12,000 BC when man first domesticated animals. We have been genetically modifying animals and plants ever since. The GMO wackos seem to be focused on food Gene splicing . It is a religion to them. Just like the Christian Wackos have a problem with human genetic splicing. Neither are big issues and both are flat out wrong. The hope is that much gene splicing and genetic engineering will eliminate diseases and help develop disease curing drugs which is fine by me.

Government Shutdown 101 Don’t worry be happy :Jann Scott’s Journal
Oct 8th
Hey America
If we could permanently get rid of those 800,000 non essential government workers, wouldn’t that be great? I mean, if they are Non essential workers? Why do we have them to begin with? We don’t have non essential people at my company. Of course we don’t. We’d go broke.
I hear we have nonessential military personnel on top of the 800,000 ?? Is that true? And they are being let go too. Good. Get rid of them. Do we have non essential government programs ?? Lets get rid of them. If programs don’t help Americans or provide for the national defense, they are non essential in my book.
Now I am a big fan of The Affordable Care Act. That is essential. But the post office isn’t. Privatize it. Most military programs are a waste. Most of the federal govt agencies which don’t aid, feed, or assist Americans are non essential.
So I kind of like the shutdown. Doesn’t effect me or the overall economy in Boulder Colorado.
Let’s fire all of the government workers permanently and make them get real jobs like the rest of us. I don’t feel sorry for them one bit.
Lets shut down all of these worthless agencies and programs.
Every Government worker I know is living off the dole and are worthless. They are non essential. Why am I paying them?

Wait we receive billions in Government funding
crazy Christians, Republicans, Occupy Wall street loons, Tea Party and other American wackos

Though the Republicans have a few good ideas, most of them are too crazy to actually run the government. The ideas I agree with are cutting spending in various areas. I do like the idea of getting rid of entire federal agencies that are redundant, do what state agencies do or are a complete waste of job, time and money. If the states can run Medicare, that would be fine by me. If the states can run education, ok good. Maybe a little administrative over site from Washington, but we don’t need monstrous do nothing agencies there. With the Department of defense we don’t need anymore dam ships, subs or attack satellites. Our intelligence agencies , coastal defenses and ready response teams, are important but our military can be condensed…… a lot. I don’t care if Obama raises taxes, but he and the Republicans better cut the shit out of the budget. Obama needs to get his penicil out We need departments that feed and help Americans but also stimulate the economy with good trade laws.
Other American crazies include Occupy Wall Streeters who are young, dumb and full of crap. Just talk to them. They are all over the place. Is it corporate greed and big banks or GMO’s ? Most of them hate capitalism and embrace communism so that gives their movement a no vote right their. The TeaParty on the other hand are focused and politically astute compared to the stoned hippie dumb shit occupiers, but they are all crazy right winged, gun toting, anarchists too.
What are we supposed to do with all this ??
