Campaign Against Global War on Drugs
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The New York Times today has a two-page ad: "We believe the global war on drugs is now causing more harm than drug abuse itself," with a letter to UN Secretary General Annan signed by hundreds from around the world, across the political spectrum. Web site for list and invitation to sign: http://www.lindesmith.org/news/un.html Public Letter to Kofi Annan June 1, 1998 Mr. Kofi Annan Secretary General United Nations New York, New York United States Dear Secretary General, On the occasion of the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on Drugs in New York on June 8-10, 1998, we seek your leadership in stimulating a frank and honest evaluation of global drug control efforts. We are all deeply concerned about the threat that drugs pose to our children, our fellow citizens and our societies. There is no choice but to work together, both within our countries and across borders, to reduce the harms associated with drugs. The United Nations has a legitimate and important role to play in this regard -- but only if it is willing to ask and address tough questions about the success or failure of its efforts. We believe that the global war on drugs is now causing more harm than drug abuse itself. Every decade the United Nations adopts new international conventions, focused largely on criminalization and punishment, that restrict the ability of individual nations to devise effective solutions to local drug problems. Every year governments enact more punitive and costly drug control measures. Every day politicians endorse harsher new drug war strategies. What is the result? U.N. agencies estimate the annual revenue generated by the illegal drug industry at $400 billion, or the equivalent of roughly eight per cent of total international trade. This industry has empowered organized criminals, corrupted governments at all levels, eroded internal security, stimulated violence, and distorted both economic markets and moral values. These are the consequences not of drug use per se, but of decades of failed and futile drug war policies. In many parts of the world, drug war politics impede public health efforts to stem the spread of HIV, hepatitis and other infectious diseases. Human rights are violated, environmental assaults perpetrated and prisons inundated with hundreds of thousands of drug law violators. Scarce resources better expended on health, education and economic development are squandered on ever more expensive interdiction efforts. Realistic proposals to reduce drug-related crime, disease and death are abandoned in favor of rhetorical proposals to create drug-free societies. Persisting in our current policies will only result in more drug abuse, more empowerment of drug markets and criminals, and more disease and suffering. Too often those who call for open debate, rigorous analysis of current policies, and serious consideration of alternatives are accused of "surrendering." But the true surrender is when fear and inertia combine to shut off debate, suppress critical analysis, and dismiss all alternatives to current policies. Mr. Secretary General, we appeal to you to initiate a truly open and honest dialogue regarding the future of global drug control policies - one in which fear, prejudice and punitive prohibitions yield to common sense, science, public health and human rights. ---------- There are a gang of heads of state gathering at the UN, with cavalcades of limosines and guards racing around Manhattan to indifference, except for me, the only one jumping hurray at the sirens, whirling lights and bristling vans. All the SS guys facing backwards finger shot my middle digit aimed at them, then a sniper behind me put a red dot on it, scaring me shitless, I ran home.

In a message dated 6/8/98 5:34:38 PM Central Daylight Time, hedges(a)infonex.com writes: << And Marijuana remains California's number one cash crop as long as it is illegal... documented way back when by Dukmejian's (sp) agriculture secretary, whom he fired after the report. The cops cite you, confiscate it and smoke it, and everyone's happy because they're all making $480 per ounce from the end consumer on this crazy gene-engineered greenbud designed, catalogued, and bred by the University of California biology departments (esp. Santa Cruz). If it were legal, tobacco shops would stock joints for a tenth the price... they need new markets with the stricter tobacco legislation; maybe there's a lobby. I watched Dennis Peron battle it out with some meat-fisted guy from the Sherrifs' orgs in Congress. The cop went on about how "if we decriminalize marijuana, marijuana would no longer be illegal" >> It's illegal because of 1 reason. The "Know-nothings" have control of the illegal market. It's how they invade the bands. They create a dry spell, and then they come around offering free/cheap smoke, gain the trust of the band, and then they say - 'Say, could I create a little official webpage for you? You need to be on the net anyway (the big lie). I'll take care of it all for you.' Stan

NOTICE OF APPEALs
by bill payne 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Tuesday 6/9/98 1:10 PM Lawyers Morales and I met for lunch today to discuss legal strategies. Morales is scheduled for a court hearing on Thursday. Therefore, it is time to increase the pressure. These cases are not going away. A fellow from Washington DC visited me some months ago. The fellow told me that LOTS of people fighting with the IRS are watching this pro se lawsuit seen at http://www.jya.com/whp052898.htm. Reason I was told is that the IRS is using lawyers to go after taxpayers. Taxpayers NOW feel that either they have to pay what the IRS DEMANDS OR get a lawyer to fight the IRS. Hiring a lawyer is usually uneconomical. And an ineffective way to fight the US government. Readers of jya.com want to learn how to do pro se lawsuits EFFECTIVELY. Morales and I are, of course, showing how to do pro se lawsuits effectively and inexpensively. Morales and I are experienced at WINNING appeals at the Tenth Circuit. http://jya.com/whp-10usca.htm But we have yet to address the problem of Tenth Circuits awarding the win to Sandia when, in fact, Sandia lost on the common technicality of not filing its Brief of the Appellees on time. Sandia did not request an enlargement of time in both our cases. In my case Sandia falsified the certificate of service. Tenth Circuit rules forbid stamping FILED on late briefs where permission to file late is not requested at least five days prior to the deadline date. We will be getting around to filing criminal complaint affidavits on the judges and clerks involved. At the right time, of course. But the time has come for Morales and I to file attached NOTICE OF APPEALs. We really should settle these unfortunate cases before matters get WORSE.

Tuesday 6/9/98 4:29 PM John Young J Orlin Grabbe Attached is FILED UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO 98 JUN-9 PM 3:13 Robert M. March Clerk, ALBUQUERQUE NOTICE OF APPEAL. Morales will sign and I will file our joint appeal tomorrow. Morales showed me an e-mail he received from Gilmore http://www.cygnus.com/~gnu/. Gilmore apparently is not interested in pursuing a joint NSA fee waiver lawsuit. The public CAN UNDERSTAND a federal agency squandering their tax dollars on a project which did not work out for the government. Public key chips. Likewise, the public can understand how the government killed Iranians. http://jya.com/whpfiles.htm I conducted a survey on NON-TECHNICAL people to see if they understood what the government did to Iran. Everyone I talked to understood. Trying to get much subtler with crypto with the public or even judges might not work. Judges or the public might give the government the benefit of the doubt on the NATIONAL SECURITY/SECRECY issue. We will see about this.
