Creeping Jackboots
Recent laws passed by the Canadian government permitting fire departments and electricity cops to enter your home without a warrant are giving some the chills. Emery explains why these latest laws, targeted at marijuana users, are another example of "creeping jackboots."
Marc Emery - November 11, 2008
In supernatural British Columbia, they’ve set up this extra-judicial scheme to thwart my Overgrow the Government movement, a completely non-violent, peaceful movement. It is a movement and an industry dedicated to producing carbon-absorbing plants -- possibly the world’s most useful plant, cannabis.
The government has lost the war against the cannabis culture, the sheer size of our industry in British Columbia and the world shows we are gaining converts and Overgrowing more than ever before. That the Cannabis Culture has won the hearts & minds of the people is clear when we see the methods and doctrines of our sworn enemies. I speak of Langley, B.C.’s new Nuremburg Laws. This is the DEA mentality, the U.S. mentality. The one that said of Vietnam, “we have to destroy it to save it.” And that’s what these new Nuremburg Laws will do to Canada.
It’s impossible to remain a civilized nation when the government labels 60 per cent of Canada’s people as “heretics”. When the people and their critical thinking are the problem, despotism is just around the corner. Polls since 2004 have shown each year a majority of Canadians want marijuana legalized, from 53 per cent to 62 per cent, and gaining each year.
A year ago, a discussion in the movement ensued whereby it was agreed the Nazi phenomenon and drug prohibition were historically comparable -- the book Drug Warriors & Their Prey by Richard Lawrence Miller is the great book on that -- but as it would turn off mainstream Canadians, we thought it was best to never use the N (Nazi) word in any discussion about prohibition and Canada’s future.
But in the last month, I have had to reconsider being silent about the comparisons. First, I interviewed important former Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent Cellerino Castillo, who uncovered the Oliver North Arms-For-Drugs DEA-CIA involvement in Central America. In two shocking interviews (watch the interview here), I heard testimony of a man who witnessed and filmed executions, murders, rapes, and did this over several years in central America on behalf of the DEA. Castillo still has the passports of everyone he saw murdered and dispatched. Castillo’s book Powderburns is a searing and difficult book to read because it’s incomprehensible that the U.S. government is made up of monsters who know this is all going on.
A few days after these intense interviews, prohibitionist authority figures in British Columbia were proudly announcing their most recent Nazi tactic. It is a tactic these prohibitionists predict will be implemented across Canada; every house in Canada that uses electricity can be invaded over and over again by the state with impunity.
Wrote Bryan from New Westminster to me in October, “I’m getting so sick of this Hydro-electric monitoring. I have four large tropical aquariums with heaters, and I’ve had BC Hydro show up with the New Westminster Fire department at my house four times this past year. Each time these people are going through my entire apartment looking for ‘unsafe wiring’. I know its simply because my hydro bill is higher than normal for an apartment this size.”
