Can you tell me what an IT sale is? So I know what a sale is, "A sale is the pinnacle activity involved in selling products or services in return for money or other compensation. . ." But what exactly is an IT Sale? Does the IT stand for Information Technology? That doesn't make sense. . . I've looked in online Biz dictionaries and everything, but I can't find a definition for this exact term. The term is used everywhere, and I need to know it what it means and how it is different from other sales. Thanks in advance!

do you think I'm learning fast or not? Hi, there... I'm an 18 year old Filipino student. Early this year, I came to study a new language, not because it's required in my curriculum (B.S. Information Technology) but because I WANT IT. I study, Spanish but after few weeks, I gave up. aLSo last year, I TRY TO STUDY Mandarin, but it works nothing. Starting last March, i decided to study French, because of its chic factor, and challenge in pronunciation. Since then, i spend my summer vacation (late March upto early June to a continuous learning. I'm studying, from 2pm from the afternoon, upto 5am the next day... about 15 hours of straight studying over the net for three months. i sleep 5am until noon. as a result, i came to memorize with the RIGHT pronunciation of several conversational phrases, the alphabet, the right pronunciation of vowels, consonants, vowel combinations, accented vowels and the likes. Also, due to my love for Canada, i memorize the national anthem of Canada, in both English and French verse. As i embrace the french language in my life, i also memorize the national anthem of France. Going deeply, i study and memorize several Disney Songs, such as Ce reve bleu (a whole new world french version) un nouveau monde (a whole new world canadian french version) l'amour brille sous les etoiles -(can you feel the love tonight french version) Ne m'oublie pas (sang by Roch Voisine) Helene (sang by Roch Voisine) J'ai pas vingt ans (Alizee) Somewhere out there (french version) and very recently, i came to watch "LOVE ME IF YOU DARE" (Jeux d'enfants")-- a French movie released by paramount pictures. i've done all of this due to massive effort researches, because for me it's not that hard to find songs and movies to be played back infinite times.. haha, lol. i also came with me four books which i bought. 1. Living Language package French --Learn in 4 simple steps; Complete Course-The Basics French Dictionary 4 audio cd 2.Geddess and Grosset French-English and English French Dictionary with vocabulary, phrases and verb tenses, and culture notes included. 3. Say it Right in French (McCain Graw Hill) 4. the internet. www.ielanguage.com www.about.com www.bonjour.com i forgot the other 11. and i'm looking forward to be enrolled in Alliance Francaise de Manille, somehow to be able to have me certificate in what i'm effortly doing. ***SO DO YOU THINK, IM DOING A RIGHT STRATEGY? OR IM MOVING A SLOW PACE? IM IN MY 8TH MONTH OF STUDYING ON THE LAST WEEK OF NOVEMBER/
Where do you look to find information? like if you don't know a word you use a dictionary. and if you want to know about a country, or animals an encyclopedia, or history a history book. were is jesus and why not in history books or does he not exist yet. and is a mere prediction of who shall take on all debt(sin) and be sacrificed. so that people can be free to use the technology to take care of earth and all life together with communication. apples do not fall far from the tree, everything in this world relates in some way. all religions have all sorts of simularities and yet there is not only one. I think it is because they don't want you to communicate, so they can use you and keep controll on you. other wize why don't we make these new foundings like gps to have food free to all. we replace with machines and yet sky rocket the price that is not freedom. and when the people begin to relize this and that we can have even better technology use scare tackticks. more people die of starvation in a day then terroism in a year. We need to fix this as well as the fact that people who are in jail, have been conditioned to be the way they are and just to solve that problem toss em in jail. We have a problem and it will only get worse if we do not communicate to meet the needs of all and mother earth. one person controlling will only meet the needs of many and toos the rest in jail. dudes we have technoloy, cars running of water, the ozone can now be made into a tv with sound (mcdonalds wanted arches in the sky and got sewed for the rights to it), When you come up with something new either you sell the idea or get sewd for it and then it gets put on the shelf for what? controll and slavery. I am honest and blunt. What is the easy way today to get into history books or be rememberd? curtanly not an invention for you get sewd for the rights of ownership or killed, so criminal, it is to hard to become famous. condioning to be this way. lets change this world people, revolution and then evolutionize. http://www.youtube.com/results?s... http://video.google.com/videopla... http://www.thezeitgeistmovement....

Invisible Men (Please Help?)? Hey people! What's up?? I had this dream a while ago, and I got an interpretation for it and I interpreted it through a dream dictionary thing, and the two match up in pretty much absolutely NO WAY! So I am going to post it here in hopes that I can get more help! ^^ Let me know if you need more information like about me, since I don't usually post my dreams... ^^; And so... In my dream, I was on the computer late at night (yes, I have been known to do that at times... and also, I'm not sure who's house it was. Sorry! It seemed kinda similar to one of my aunts, but I don't know) and I heard that I got a message (it sounded kinda like the pop that you hear when you get a new private message on facebook). I tried to click on the button to get the message, and I couldn't. I thought I'll just turn on a lamp so I can click on the message (really stupid, I know...). So I get up to turn on the lamp, but I run into like some invisible person. They push me hard and I fall back into a couch. I like stepped on a invisible person's back. Some how I knew that they were on all fours, and it was their back that I stepped on. Then, the person that I was standing on started like rising up. I could still stand on his back, but I was getting higher, and higher. Pillows and blankets started being thrown at me. And then, I woke up. I was facing a wall (my left side. I only know that cause I have acid reflux, and I kinda have to), and the wall was covered in paintings. I think they were drawings that were done in like some red tint, but I'm not totally sure since I only vaguely remember what they looked like because I was still pretty shaken from my dream. I blink, and they are still there. Then, I turn away and turn back, and then they are gone. I am like absolutely terrified at this point, so I end up going to sleep with my mom (note: I'm 15. She was laughing at me when I asked to sleep with her.) It was like 4:30 5:00 am when I woke up, and I barely got to go back to sleep after wards. One of the translations that I got was that I was being protected from some false truth (lamp=false truth, and invisible men are the protectors), but if that's true... why were they assaulting me? And also, the person's idea about the pictures is that my apartment is haunted or I need more pictures. I guess the haunting thing could be it, maybe, because the building is like 50 years old. The need of more pictures I doubt because I never had pictures in my room before. Another interpretation (the one that I did) was way more lengthy. I'll just put down the notes. message-a message from unconscious computer- technology, information, modern life OR lack of expressing feelings, emotions, or individuality night- major setbacks and obstacles in achieving goals OR issues in life, but unclear unlit lamp- overwhelmed by emotional issues OR lost the ability to find your way to see things clearly lamp- guidance, hope, inspiration, enlightenment, reassurance floating- will rise above the obstacles that are overwhelming I do have troubles speaking up, and there are definately some big issues in my life, but I don't know. So it would be helpful if people interpreted! Also, we just moved into the apartment building like a year ago, and its in the bad side of town. I am pretty paranoid, and I heard this children's ghost story or whatever where a murder killed some guy's dog and hid under his bed. I'm always afraid that something like that will happen, or skeletons will come out of under my bed, or something like that. I know that is really stupid, but I'm just paranoid like that. If there's anyway to get the paranoia to go away, that would be AWESOME! (ehm... sorry) Also, sorry for the long question description. Thanks if anyone does help! ^^
pharmacy question? Which electronic drug information source contains information on laboratory tests, infectious diseases, and drug identification, as well as a medical dictionary? A. Drugdex by Micromedex B. Lexi-Comp's Clinical Reference Library C. Medical Drug Reference by Parsons Technology D. AskAdvice
do you think these introductions are good to hand in for a grade? the task is to write four different types of introductions (question type, funnel type, dictionary type, and quotation type.) The topic is teens' addiction to facebook and the Thesis Question is: How is facebook addicting to so many teenagers? do you think these are good? and if needed, what improvements could i make? Intro 1: Do you find yourself signing onto the computer multiple times each day, or even hour? Young boys and girls find themselves addicted to checking the internet for information on all of their friends, often. Teenagers these days check their facebook pages daily to keep up on the latest gossip, to meet new people, and to communicate with friends they don't always get to see. Intro 2: Long distance friendships are sometimes hard to maintain. Technology developments have made it much easier for friends to keep in touch from far away. Teenagers these days check their facebook pages daily to keep up on the latest gossip, to meet new people, and to communicate with friends they don't always get to see. Intro 3: According to Urban Dictionary, facebook is "An online network open to students and young adults interested in meeting students from the same schools and communities." Young boys and girls use this network to talk to and meet people from their school or future college. Teenagers these days check their facebook pages daily to keep up on the latest gossip, to meet new people, and to communicate with friends they don't always get to see. Intro 4: A wise individual once said, "Facebook is simply the new addiction to all teens used for procrastination and competing for more friends." Young adults use facebook to meet and talk to friends instead of always doing what they're supposed to be doing. Teenagers these days check their facebook pages daily to keep up on the latest gossip, to meet new people, and to communicate with friends they don't always get to see.
PROOF READ ESSAY, GOTTA DO IT NOW NOW NOW! Please!? Hey so I have to submit an essay 4 hours after. I wrote this piece of crap in 30 mins so pelase proof read. Please tell me more stuff I could add into my essay. The topic is * Is your generation wiser than your grandparents generation?* There you go :- "To know when to be generous and when firm - that is wisdom." -- Elbert Hilbbard. Many of you might have heard of this quote and the first thought that comes to you would have been of your elders. Wisdom is the ability to understand people, things, situations etc, which are grandparents have certainly expertised in. As days pass on, science amuses us with new technologies. It all started from a simple radio invented by Guglielmo Marconi, then the computer created by Charles Babbage. And now we have everything, you name it. From PDA'S to laptops, mobile televisions to robots. Is our generation of now, wiser than our grandparents' generation, is a question many wonder about. People consider this new generation to be wiser than our ancestors', unfamiliar of how the latter is wiser. We, the present generation have more technology and are much more hi-tech, no doubt but that certainly does not beat wisdom. Technology is nothing compared to wisdom and does not make you wiser in any way. Nowadays, whatever age group you may belong to, it be a child or a parent, we all use the help of search engines in our daily work. Whether it be homework or office work, you are bound to visit Yahoo, Google, Bing or any other well known search engine, whereas back in the old times, our ancestors had to try hard and find appropriate information and turn it in . We, living in the present World, should be thankful to science as it has advanced so much that it takes part in every single move of our life and has now become a humungous part of it. Nowadays we have the aid of dictionaries, thesauruses, online homework helpers etc to help us in daily tasks whereas in those times one wouldn’t even have thought of such a thing. Scientists back in that time, had gained so much appreciated, by not having any access to Internet, where you can find almost ANYTHING by just a single click. Funny how it might leave one of this generation shocked, but people actually had to work hard day and night to achieve something. When a person had to make a decision, they either had to solve it out themselves or take help, considering an elder. Nowadays, we people have the facility of Wiki Answers, Yahoo Answers and other forum sites. Where you ask a question and can have the availability to an answer in just about a blink of an eye. Please tell me more stuff I could add into my essay. The topic is * Is your generation wiser than your grandparents generation?* Love all who answer! Thankyou so much! best answer gets 20 poiints and 5 stars!

Joke : Really dumb memos at work..is this worth a star ? In 1998 a business magazine ran a contest asking for Dilbert-like quotes from people who had real-life Dilbert-like managers. Here are some of the winners. 1. As of tomorrow, employees will only be able to access the building using individual security cards. Pictures will be taken next Wednesday and employees will receive their cards in two weeks. (Microsoft Corporation - this one took first place) 2. What I need is a list of specific unknown problems we will encounter. (Lykes Lines Shipping) 3. How long is this Beta guy going to keep testing our stuff? (Programming intern, Microsoft Development Team) 4. E-mail is not to be used to pass on information or data. It should be used only for company business. (Accounting Mgr., Electric Boat Company) 5. This project is so important that we can't let things that are more important interfere with it. (Advertising /Mktg. Mgr., UPS) 6. Doing it right is no excuse for not meeting the schedule. No one will believe you solved this problem in one day! We've been working on it for months. Now, go act busy for a few weeks, and I'll let you know when it's time to tell them. (R&D Supervisor, Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing/3M Corp.) 7. My boss spent the entire weekend retyping a 25-page proposal that only needed corrections. She claims the disk I gave her was damaged and she couldn't edit it. The disk I gave her was write-protected. (CIO of Dell Computers) 8. Quote from the boss: "Teamwork is a lot of people doing what I say." (Marketing Executive, Citrix Corporation) 9. My sister passed away and her funeral was scheduled for Monday. When I told my boss, he said she died so that I would have to miss work on the busiest day of the year. He then asked if we could change her burial to Friday. He said, "That would be better for me." (Shipping Executive, FTD Florists) 10. We know that communication is a problem, but the company is not going to discuss it with the employees. (AT&T Long Lines Division) 11. We recently received a memo from senior management saying, "This is to inform you that a memo will be issued today regarding the subject mentioned above." (Microsoft Legal Affairs Division) 12. As director of communications, I was asked to prepare a memo reviewing our company's training programs and materials. In the body of the memo one of the sentences mentioned the "pedagogical approach" used by one of the training manuals. The day after I routed the memo to the executive committee, I was called into the HR director's office and was told that the executive VP wanted me out of the building by lunch. When I asked why, I was told that she wouldn't stand for "perverts" (pedophiles?) working in her company. He showed me her copy of the memo, with her demand that I be fired, with the word "pedagogical" circled in red. The HR Manager was fairly reasonable, and once he looked the word up in his dictionary and made a copy of the definition to send to my boss, he told me not to worry. He would take care of it. Two days later a memo to the entire staff came out, directing us that no words which could not be found in the local Sunday newspaper could be used in company memos. A month later I resigned. In accordance with company policy, I created my resignation letter by pasting words together from the Sunday paper. (Taco Bell Corporation) 13. This gem is the closing paragraph of a nationally circulated memo: "Lucent Technologies is endeavorily determined to promote constant attention on current procedures of transacting business focusing emphasis on innovative ways to better, if not supercede, the expectations of quality!" (Lucent Technologies - formerly a division of AT&T)

America wake up our rights are being taken away ! is that what you want ? The airports of the developed world have been turned into mini prototype police states, with little or no backlash from those forced to pass through them. But of course we’ll suffer any assault on our God-given rights to ‘save us from the terrorists,’ won’t we? This argument is based on the assumption that there are actual terrorists worth worrying about and secondly that the measures being taken in our airports are aimed at stopping their activity. Both claims cannot be substantiated.Following in the footsteps of several US counterparts, Sydney Airport recently announced its beta testing of face recognition biometric cameras, aimed at identifying ‘terrorists and other undesirable travellers’ according to the Sydney Morning Herald. As with all biometric technologies, the digital algorithms that make up your facial features are captured and compared with a computer database of criminals. If you resemble an enemy of the state then red flags are immediately coordinated to the operator and your dangerous terrorist activity is brought to a swift halt. Proponents of this system fail to take into account that terrorist masterminds are hardly likely to use notorious criminals to carry out operations where their movements will be filmed a hundred times over. If there were nineteen hijackers on September 11 roaming around American airports, surely there would be multiple video sequences of their activity? The FBI says so but all they have provided us with is a dodgy tape of Atta with two different time stamps on it. The rest is classified ‘due to the ongoing investigation’. Another fairly important factor related to facial recognition technology is that it doesn’t actually work. A Boston Globe report, cited by The Register, concludes that a similar test at Boston’s Logan Airport failed miserably. You see, not unlike a toaster that only has two settings – burnt and warm bread – facial recognition technology is either far too sensitive or positively laid back. Either Ahmed and his terrorist chums walk on by unhindered or a mother with a pram is likely to be subjected to an armed standoff. On the non-sensitive setting, anyone who is aware of the technology can avoid it by wearing a pair of sunglasses. So what other methods will Big Brother present in order to ‘save us from the terrorists’? In the first stage of what will eventually morph into the behemoth ‘Total Information Awareness’ – the US Justice Department has proposed anti-terrorism regulations that would entail everyone who wanted to fly in and out of the country would be forced to disclose detailed personal information. This report was carried by The Washington Times. Even though the Immigration and Naturalization Service would implement the regulations, the law would apply to American citizens. This at a time when both the northern and southern borders are more wide open than ever. The ACLU, more interested in making sure gay people are allowed to cavort in street parades, have declared no opposition to the proposal. Some people, perhaps even most, would have no aversion to providing their name, date of birth, citizenship, sex, passport number, country of residence, U.S. visa number, and address while in the United States. I would certainly support such measures for foreigners if I were under the delusion that our governments had any incentive to prevent terrorism. But what most don’t realize is that this is only the initial stage of a nice little horror that the government has been planning for a year or more. As can be judged from reports early last year by both The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times, these new proposals are merely the first generation in the creation of a centralized government database via the airports and airliners and one which will possibly form the largest chunk of Total Information Awareness. Federal aviation authorities (power) in alliance with technology companies (greed) eventually plan to delve much deeper into your personal life, right down to your daily activities through to what magazines you read. This, according to Joseph Del Balzo, formerly with the FAA, will enable the government to have, “a pretty good idea of what’s going on in a person’s mind.” Such minute details would characterize an individual’s ‘threat assessment’ – so if you willingly submit to letting the government know how many times you go to the toilet a day then you’ll get a green security grade, cheap airline tickets, fast airport security checks, convenience and consumer love. On the other hand, if you have any semblance of morality or memories of what it was like to live in a free country and refuse the ‘trusted traveller pass’ – you’ll get a red security grade and will be rightly hassled for the subversive that you are. The government will have a large task on its hands collating all the data, but has already been assured by market research companies that the system is workable. They will willingly pass on the data they’ve collected on you from all those annoying dinnertime calls, just for a small slice of the money pie. Big Brother then quashes our fears by promising us there is no possible scope for abuse of the program. Officials admit that ultimately the system is designed to be integrated into the biometric national ID card. Let me spell it out for you. A mandatory national ID card with your biometric thumbprint scanned on which tells the reader how the government view your behaviour on a scale of ‘submissive and compliant with state demands’ (green) to ‘definite subversive, possible enemy of the state and potential terrorist – 9pm house curfew’. Get the picture? Just take a glance at how the early ‘security measures’ have played out at airports across the world. Every week we hear stories about 18-year-old zit faced adolescents fondling blonde haired, blue-eyed women because they might be terrorists. Or how obese, greasy old men take 8-year-old Katie aside for some ‘special screening’. Nicholas Monahan, a film producer, related the harrowing tale of how his pregnant wife was forced to expose herself and have screeners touch her breasts in full public view at Portland International Airport. Upon seeing his wife crying her eyes out, Monahan complained and was subsequently arrested and thrown in the airport jail (yes they do have those now). Monahan likened his experience to something out of The Gulag Archipelago. The trauma of the experience contributed to his wife having to have a caesarean section. Don’t forget for a second that all this is coming from a government that is ‘manufacturing terrorist alerts to keep the issue alive in the minds of voters and to keep President Bush’s approval ratings high’ according to World Net Daily. Go look for the definition of terrorism in your dictionary and you’ll get something similar to, "The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.” By this very definition, the only group gaining a political advantage from terrorism or the threat of terrorism is the White House! Who is creating the ‘terrorist threat’ to justify the windfall of power and money that goes hand in glove with new airport security regulations? The very same group pushing the security regulations. Here’s a solution that would prevent another September 11 from happening, along with preventing our airports from becoming police state processing points. It’s a solution that is loaded with common sense, guaranteed to work, but would make no money for technology companies and wouldn’t contribute to feeding Total Information Awareness, which is just coincidentally why the government has been dragging its feet over implementing it. Arm the pilots.

(i know it’s long but its good information) The Marijuana Conspiracy THE REAL REASON HEMP IS ILLEGAL by Doug Yurchey And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land. — Ezekiel 34/29 The real reason Cannabis has been outlawed has nothing to do with its effects on the mind and body. MARIJUANA is DANGEROUS. Pot is NOT harmful to the human body or mind. Marijuana does NOT pose a threat to the general public. Marijuana is very much a danger to the oil companies, alcohol, tobacco industries and a large number of chemical corporations. Various big businesses, with plenty of dollars and influence, have suppressed the truth from the people. The truth is if marijuana was utilized for its vast array of commercial products, it would create an industrial atomic bomb! Entrepreneurs have not been educated on the product potential of pot. The super rich have conspired to spread misinformation about an extremely versatile plant that, if used properly, would ruin their companies. Where did the word 'marijuana' come from? In the mid 1930s, the M-word was created to tarnish the good image and phenomenal history of the hemp plant...as you will read. The facts cited here, with references, are generally verifiable in the Encyclopedia Britannica which was printed on hemp paper for 150 years: * All schoolbooks were made from hemp or flax paper until the 1880s; Hemp Paper Reconsidered, Jack Frazier, 1974. * It was LEGAL TO PAY TAXES WITH HEMP in America from 1631 until the early 1800s; LA Times, Aug. 12, 1981. * REFUSING TO GROW HEMP in America during the 17th and 18th Centuries WAS AGAINST THE LAW! You could be jailed in Virginia for refusing to grow hemp from 1763 to 1769; Hemp in Colonial Virginia, G. M. Herdon. * George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and other founding fathers GREW HEMP; Washington and Jefferson Diaries. Jefferson smuggled hemp seeds from China to France then to America. * Benjamin Franklin owned one of the first paper mills in America and it processed hemp. Also, the War of 1812 was fought over hemp. Napoleon wanted to cut off Moscow’s export to England; Emperor Wears No Clothes, Jack Herer. * For thousands of years, 90f all ships' sails and rope were made from hemp. The word 'canvas' is Dutch for cannabis; Webster’s New World Dictionary. * 80f all textiles, fabrics, clothes, linen, drapes, bed sheets, etc. were made from hemp until the 1820s with the introduction of the cotton gin. * The first Bibles, maps, charts, Betsy Ross’s flag, the first drafts of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were made from hemp; U.S. Government Archives. * The first crop grown in many states was hemp. 1850 was a peak year for Kentucky producing 40,000 tons. Hemp was the largest cash crop until the 20th Century; State Archives. * Oldest known records of hemp farming go back 5000 years in China, although hemp industrialization probably goes back to ancient Egypt. * Rembrants, Gainsboroughs, Van Goghs as well as most early canvas paintings were principally painted on hemp linen. * In 1916, the U.S. Government predicted that by the 1940s all paper would come from hemp and that no more trees need to be cut down. Government studies report that 1 acre of hemp equals 4.1 acres of trees. Plans were in the works to implement such programs; Department of Agriculture * Quality paints and varnishes were made from hemp seed oil until 1937. 58,000 tons of hemp seeds were used in America for paint products in 1935; Sherman Williams Paint Co. testimony before Congress against the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act. * Henry Ford’s first Model-T was built to run on hemp gasoline and the CAR ITSELF WAS CONTRUCTED FROM HEMP! On his large estate, Ford was photographed among his hemp fields. The car, 'grown from the soil,' had hemp plastic panels whose impact strength was 10 times stronger than steel; Popular Mechanics, 1941. * Hemp called 'Billion Dollar Crop.' It was the first time a cash crop had a business potential to exceed a billion dollars; Popular Mechanics, Feb., 1938. * Mechanical Engineering Magazine (Feb. 1938) published an article entitled 'The Most Profitable and Desirable Crop that Can be Grown.' It stated that if hemp was cultivated using 20th Century technology, it would be the single largest agricultural crop in the U.S. and the rest of the world. The following information comes directly from the United States Department of Agriculture’s 1942 14-minute film encouraging and instructing 'patriotic American farmers' to grow 350,000 acres of hemp each year for the war effort: '...(When) Grecian temples were new, hemp was already old in the service of mankind. For thousands of years, even then, this plant had been grown for cordage and cloth in China and elsewhere in the East. For centuries prior to about 1850, all the ships that sailed the western seas were rigged with hempen rope and sails. For the sailor, no less than the hangman, hemp was indispensable... ...Now with Philippine and East Indian sources of hemp in the hands of the Japanese...American hemp must meet the needs of our Army and Navy as well as of our industries... ...the Navy’s rapidly dwindling reserves. When that is gone, American hemp will go on duty again; hemp for mooring ships; hemp for tow lines; hemp for tackle and gear; hemp for countless naval uses both on ship and shore. Just as in the days when Old Ironsides sailed the seas victorious with her hempen shrouds and hempen sails. Hemp for victory!' Certified proof from the Library of Congress; found by the research of Jack Herer, refuting claims of other government agencies that the 1942 USDA film 'Hemp for Victory' did not exist. Hemp cultivation and production do not harm the environment. The USDA Bulletin ..404 concluded that hemp produces 4 times as much pulp with at least 4 to 7 times less pollution. From Popular Mechanics, Feb. 1938: 'It has a short growing season...It can be grown in any state...The long roots penetrate and break the soil to leave it in perfect condition for the next year’s crop. The dense shock of leaves, 8 to 12 feet above the ground, chokes out weeds. ...hemp, this new crop can add immeasurably to American agriculture and industry.' In the 1930s, innovations in farm machinery would have caused an industrial revolution when applied to hemp. This single resource could have created millions of new jobs generating thousands of quality products. Hemp, if not made illegal, would have brought America out of the Great Depression. William Randolph Hearst (Citizen Kane) and the Hearst Paper Manufacturing Division of Kimberly Clark owned vast acreage of timberlands. The Hearst Company supplied most paper products. Patty Hearst’s grandfather, a destroyer of nature for his own personal profit, stood to lose billions because of hemp. In 1937, Dupont patented the processes to make plastics from oil and coal. Dupont’s Annual Report urged stockholders to invest in its new petrochemical division. Synthetics such as plastics, cellophane, celluloid, methanol, nylon, rayon, Dacron, etc., could now be made from oil. Natural hemp industrialization would have ruined over 80f Dupont’s business. THE CONSPIRACY Andrew Mellon became Hoover’s Secretary of the Treasury and Dupont’s primary investor. He appointed his future nephew-in-law, Harry J. Anslinger, to head the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. Secret meetings were held by these financial tycoons. Hemp was declared dangerous and a threat to their billion dollar enterprises. For their dynasties to remain intact, hemp had to go. These men took an obscure Mexican slang word: 'marihuana' and pushed it into the consciousness of America. MEDIA MANIPULATION A media blitz of 'yellow journalism' raged in the late 1920s and 1930s. Hearst’s newspapers ran stories emphasizing the horrors of marihuana. The menace of marihuana made headlines. Readers learned that it was responsible for everything from car accidents to loose morality. Films like 'Reefer Madness' (1936), 'Marihuana: Assassin of Youth' (1935) and 'Marihuana: The Devil’s Weed' (1936) were propaganda designed by these industrialists to create an enemy. Their purpose was to gain public support so that anti-marihuana laws could be passed. Examine the following quotes from 'The Burning Question' aka REEFER MADNESS: a violent narcotic. acts of shocking violence. incurable insanity. soul-destroying effects. under the influence of the drug he killed his entire family with an ax. more vicious, more deadly even than these soul-destroying drugs (heroin, cocaine) is the menace of marihuana! Reefer Madness did not end with the usual 'the end.' The film concluded with these words plastered on the screen: TELL YOUR CHILDREN. In the 1930s, people were very naive; even to the point of ignorance. The masses were like sheep waiting to be led by the few in power. They did not challenge authority. If the news was in print or on the radio, they believed it had to be true. They told their children and their children grew up to be the parents of the baby-boomers. On April 14, 1937, the Prohibitive Marihuana Tax Law or the bill that outlawed hemp was directly brought to the House Ways and Means Committee. This committee is the only one that can introduce a bill to the House floor without it being debated by other committees. The Chairman of the Ways and Means, Robert Doughton, was a Dupont supporter. He insured that the bill would pass Congress. Dr. James Woodward, a physician and attorney, testified too late on behalf of the American Medical Association. He told the committee that the reason the AMA had not denounced the Marihuana Tax Law sooner was that the Association had just discovered that marihuana was hemp. Few people, at the time, realized that the deadly menace they had been reading about on Hearst’s front pages was in fact passive hemp. The AMA understood cannabis to be a MEDICINE found in numerous healing products sold over the last hundred years. In September of 1937, hemp became illegal. The most useful crop known became a drug and our planet has been suffering ever since. Congress banned hemp because it was said to be the most violence-causing drug known. Anslinger, head of the Drug Commission for 31 years, promoted the idea that marihuana made users act extremely violent. In the 1950s, under the Communist threat of McCarthyism, Anslinger now said the exact opposite. Marijuana will pacify you so much that soldiers would not want to fight. Today, our planet is in desperate trouble. Earth is suffocating as large tracts of rain forests disappear. Pollution, poisons and chemicals are killing people. These great problems could be reversed if we industrialized hemp. Natural biomass could provide all of the planet’s energy needs that are currently supplied by fossil fuels. We have consumed 80f our oil and gas reserves. We need a renewable resource. Hemp could be the solution to soaring gas prices. THE WONDER PLANT Hemp has a higher quality fiber than wood fiber. Far fewer caustic chemicals are required to make paper from hemp than from trees. Hemp paper does not turn yellow and is very durable. The plant grows quickly to maturity in a season where trees take a lifetime. ALL PLASTIC PRODUCTS SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP SEED OIL. Hempen plastics are biodegradable! Over time, they would break down and not harm the environment. Oil-based plastics, the ones we are very familiar with, help ruin nature; they do not break down and will do great harm in the future. The process to produce the vast array of natural (hempen) plastics will not ruin the rivers as Dupont and other petrochemical companies have done. Ecology does not fit in with the plans of the Oil Industry and the political machine. Hemp products are safe and natural. MEDICINES SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP. We should go back to the days when the AMA supported cannabis cures. 'Medical Marijuana' is given out legally to only a handful of people while the rest of us are forced into a system that relies on chemicals. Pot is only healthy for the human body. WORLD HUNGER COULD END. A large variety of food products can be generated from hemp. The seeds contain one of the highest sources of protein in nature. ALSO: They have two essential fatty acids that clean your body of cholesterol. These essential fatty acids are not found anywhere else in nature! Consuming pot seeds is the best thing you could do for your body. Eat uncooked hemp seeds. CLOTHES SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP. Hemp clothing is extremely strong and durable over time. You could hand clothing, made from pot, down to your grandchildren. Today, there are American companies that make hemp clothing; usually 50emp. Hemp fabrics should be everywhere. Instead, they are almost underground. Superior hemp products are not allowed to advertise on fascist television. Kentucky, once the top hemp producing state, made it ILLEGAL TO WEAR hemp clothing! Can you imagine being thrown into jail for wearing quality jeans? The world is crazy...but that does not mean you have to join the insanity. Get together. Spread the news. Tell people, and that includes your children, the truth. Use hemp products. Eliminate the word 'marijuana.' Realize the history that created it. Make it politically incorrect to say or print the M-word. Fight against the propaganda (designed to favor the agenda of the super rich) and the bullshit. Hemp must be utilized in the future. We need a clean energy source to save our planet. INDUSTRIALIZE HEMP! The liquor, tobacco and oil companies fund more than a million dollars a day to Partnership for a Drug-Free America and other similar agencies. We have all seen their commercials. Now, their motto is: It’s more dangerous than we thought. Lies from the powerful corporations, that began with Hearst, are still alive and well today. The brainwashing continues. Now, the commercials say: If you buy a joint, you contribute to murders and gang wars. The latest anti-pot commercials say: If you buy a joint...you are promoting TERRORISM! The new enemy (terrorism) has paved the road to brainwash you any way THEY see fit. There is only one enemy; the friendly people you pay your taxes to; the war-makers and nature destroyers. With your funding, they are killing the world right in front of your eyes. HALF A MILLION DEATHS EACH YEAR ARE CAUSED BY TOBACCO. HALF A MILLION DEATHS EACH YEAR ARE CAUSED BY ALCOHOL. NO ONE HAS EVER, EVER DIED FROM SMOKING POT!! In the entire history of the human race, not one death can be attributed to cannabis. Our society has outlawed grass but condones the use of the KILLERS: TOBACCO and ALCOHOL. Hemp should be declassified and placed in DRUG stores to relieve stress. Hardening and constriction of the arteries are bad; but hemp usage actually enlarges the arteries...which is a healthy condition. We have been so conditioned to think that: Smoking is harmful. That is NOT the case for passive pot. Ingesting THC, hemp’s active agent, has a positive effect; relieving asthma and glaucoma. A joint tends to alleviate the nausea caused by chemotherapy. You are able to eat on hemp. This is a healthy state of being. The stereotype for a pothead is similar to a drunk, bubble-brain. Yet, the truth is ones creative abilities can be enhanced under its influence. The perception of time slightly slows and one can become more sensitive. You can more appreciate all arts; be closer to nature and generally FEEL more under the influence of cannabis. It is, in fact, the exact opposite state of mind and body as the drunken state. You can be more aware with pot. The pot plant is an ALIEN plant. There is physical evidence that cannabis is not like any other plant on this planet. One could conclude that it was brought here for the benefit of humanity. Hemp is the ONLY plant where the males appear one way and the females appear very different, physically! No one ever speaks of males and females in regard to the plant kingdom because plants do not show their sexes; except for cannabis. To determine what sex a certain, normal, Earthly plant is: You have to look internally, at its DNA. A male blade of grass (physically) looks exactly like a female blade of grass. The hemp plant has an intense sexuallity. Growers know to kill the males before they fertilize the females. Yes, folks...the most potent pot comes from 'horny females.' The reason this amazing, very sophisticated, ET plant from the future is illegal has nothing to do with how it physically affects us.. POT IS ILLEGAL BECAUSE BILLIONAIRES WANT TO REMAIN BILLIONAIRES!
