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.

US War in Middle East not winnable unless total war declared
Apr 24th
You may say this sound like madness. Or ask what the hell are you talking about?
You won’t be saying that if radical Islamic elements of a middle eastern country drops several real nukes on American cities. Imagine seeing New York city in flames after a middle eastern Muslim country detonates a high powered nuke in lower Manhattan and renders half of the eastern seaboard uninhabitable.??
Then what I am saying won’t seem so crazy. You will wonder , how could this have happened?.
I am convinced that it will happen. I am also convinced at this point that president Obama has no idea what he is doing or is up against. He reminds me of early attempts by Brittan to negotiate with the Nazis. It was bullshit and caused WWII. I claim we are already in the early stages of WWIII. There is no negotiating with radical Islam. They are bound and determined to destroy the west put us all under Sha’aria law and live in their simple desert world alone while we burn.
So here’s my plan. Afghanistan is a lost cause. We already lost that war. The Taliban have shadow governments in most of its provenances, just waiting for us to leave. Between them and Pakistan they have the money and wherewithal to nuke us and they will when we exit Afghanistan.
Other countries of concern are Iran, actually the whole damn middle east and north Africa and North Korea.
But lets talk about the middle East. If we sent an invasion force to the middle East, conquered them occupied them and drag them kicking and screaming int the 21 century, we may be able to save the world. Otherwise we are going to burn in our homes here in America. When I say an invasion force I am talking about an allied force of 1 or 2 million troops. No fooling around. Occupy every city town mountain and out post and put an end to Afghanistan as it exists right now. Occupy it the way we occupied Japan and Germany after WWI. Build bases there and leave them there. Kill there heroin production and kill anyone who fights us. and then move right across the middle east WWII style. We have been fighting in the middle east since the 1980s and we could have ended this a long time ago. Or we can just stay home and wait for the nukes. It’s a shit sandwich and we are going to have to take a bite.
Also, as far as I am concerned Obama or Romney: they are both the same. neither are capable of leading this country from nuclear annihilation. Actually, they are both cut from the same cloth. Nice guys. Civilized. Unfortunately, there are a bunch of barbarians out there who aim to kill us all, very soon.
So this is well beyond petty American politics.

Global Business Networking: Accessing High Tech Talent Jann Scott’Journal
Nov 12th
The conference I attend was on immigration. (Boulder Chamber event, Global Business Networking: Accessing High Tech Talent Live at 5:30 tonight, Nov 10, 2011) Specifically why the American government make it is so hard to hire foreign engineers for technology firms. The USA has a shortage of high quality engineers. Tech firms have to look elsewhere to find them but the government won’t allow American companies to hire foreign engineers. Some Boulder companies survival depend upon it. Some have gone broke.
In a nutshell when you have a highly competent foreign engineer working for a tech firm, you can build a division around him and thereby hire a whole slew of less competent American engineers to do the production. So it is a job creator. The problem is that the Bush administration screwed us and congress is too stupid to figure out that we have fallen behind.. They think every immigrant wanting to work here is either a Saudi terrorist or an unskilled illiterate.
To make matters worse we’ll give out education visas like candy but once we graduate a Korean engineer, we won’t let him back in the country to work for us, so he goes to China and works for them helping to build their economy. How dumb is that?
Anyway we televised this conference and you will be able to see it on my 22BOOM Show next week. If you want to see a crappy video stream version of it you can see that on Justin TV Boulder Channel One .
Now, I like going to business events but the business community is divided here in Boulder. The Boulder Chamber is big and old school. But they are very inviting and open too. They will let any community member play. They are the most equal community oriented business group. Downtown Boulder is more selective, elitist and discriminating. They hurt themselves and local business’s continually….. I have beaten them up pretty hard here too for it. They whole Boulder Start Up community headed by Start-Up Boulder and their ilk is by far the most elitist, censoring, divisive, discriminating business group in Boulder. Of course they don’t think so. Most of them are 21 to 32 and they think they invented business and everyone else is stupid.
“This is both a problem and part of Boulders nature” a Chamber Economic Vitality staffer told me. “It is also what makes Boulder a successful business community”. Maybe so, but I hate snot nosed elitist kid know it alls and they make terrible employees.
I did have fun at this event though. It had a mix of old farts ( my people and young punks..them)
Jared Polis was there to speak about how stupid the American congress is. Jason Mendelson was there to help Jared uphold the the “super rich” end. Actually I dunno how much money he has. It’s millions and millions. Jared of course is a billionaire.
I put the tap on them both to help me sell channel One Networks to Google or Face book. A 30 second pitch was too long. I needed a ten second one for Jared. He was like, What can I do? I dunno anybody.” Mendelson was a little more targeted… “Why should I”? he asked. Good Question. Because Jason, C1N is designed to have ad, print, TV offices in every city and is self sustaining. It is a multi billion dollar company and you can make millions right now off of it. It works.
But they ran away from me. I’ll keep you posted on my pitches. But this is the year.. actually 2012 is the year we have large capitalization and plan to plan to open a 2500 person facility in Boulder.
