Drugs and Drug Money

Here is a post I made in response that Karma made to all of us.  What happens to drugs and drug money when confiscated by law enforcement in the country.  I have provide the link to a website that gives a reason explanation until the last paragraph.  That paragraph bothers me.  What do you think.

Well, Karma, I am a little more rested if not misguided doing this on Christmas.  Here is a link from which I copied the info below.  I was sort of okay with this until I got to the last line.  Department of Justice.  That is like dropping a new business in the laps of crooks similar (possibly) to gun running.  I can only imagine what the Mexican government does with it.  Requires further investigation by, I believe, the Senate.  Hopefully we can get other to comment here.

Each jurisdiction has their own set of rules, regulations, and laws, but generally the drugs and money will either be disposed of (by at least two witnesses) or they will be kept. (Drugs can be used for training or future investigative operations. Money goes back to the parent government, NOT the seizing agency.) There is usually some forms that need to be filled out and approved by the chief of the law enforcement organization and the prosecutor's office and/or judge.

If the drugs are kept, they are stored in the property/evidence room and only checked out for operations/training - they're weighed when they leave and weighed again when they come back. If there's any missing and it wasn't used in an approved training or operation, it would be your ass. The drugs could be used for K-9 training or controlled burns (how do you think that cops and confidential informants know what marijuana smells like - they, like the dogs, have to have it signed off in their personnel/training records.) We will also use it to do field test training for those that don't get a lot of exposure to it (probation/parole officers, investigative assistants, confidential informants etc.) Operations is what you suspect - reverse buy/busts or buy/walks.

As I said, money that has been seized (and approved for forfeiture during a hearing) funnels back to the parent government and they disburse it as they see fit. At the Federal level, that is the Department of Justice.

A horrendous tragedy that will live with the family of Emma Sloan forever did not have to happen.  This young 14-year-old Dublin teenager was having a nice dinner with her loving family when she mistakenly ate a satay sauce which was made from peanuts.  Her mother who had been eating at the Chinese restaurant with her thought that the sauce was curry. The teen began to experience breathing difficulties according to Opposing Views. 

Not having a potentially lifesaving Epipen with them which would have dramatically halted the allergic reaction, Emma’s mother rushed to a nearby Pharmacy.  With her daughter’s life in the balance, Emma’s mother Caroline pleaded with the Pharmacist to sell her an Epipen.

Instead of allowing Emma’s mother the opportunity to save her daughter’s life, the pharmacist rejected her request to purchase the Epipen.  According to Opposing Views he instead informed her that she should take her daughter to an emergency room.

One of every parent’s most horrible nightmares began to unfold in front of Caroline Sloan’s eyes as she pleaded to no avail with the resistant pharmacist as her daughter lay in the street in anaphylactic shock.

4063794504?profile=original       War on Christmas by Atheists 

            photo credit - Gawker

The War on Christmas is nothing new in America the only difference are the weapons which are being used against it.  Fox News is the only news network which has spent time to focus on the growing number of incidents which deprive children of celebrating Christmas in schools and families being able to celebrate and share Nativity Scenes in many public places.  With the mounting assaults upon Christians religious freedom to publically celebrate Christmas by atheists and ACLU supporters, is the War on Christmas a losing battle?

Some detractors of the celebration of Christmas joy and the true reason for the blessed season have been working nonstop in a number of venues to insure that the message of Christ’s birth is eradicated from any public viewing in America.  Yet, there is no outrage raised when atheists and other secular seasonal efforts are given free reign like Kwanza and other manufactured holidays.

Over the past decade a myriad of lawsuits and threats of lawsuits have been filed against public schools and cities that even propose the placement of a nativity scene in view of supporters of Christmas.  Therefore it is no small wonder that younger adults born between the 1980’s and early 2000s who are part of Generation Y, are increasingly failing to embrace the religious meaning of Christmas.

GOD: Grant US the SERENITY to ACCEPT the things WE CANNOT CHANGE.  COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS WE CAN, and the WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE…AMEN.       

The Serenity prayer… staple of alcoholics, addicts and troubled people everywhere. Edited for our group use, HE won’t mind… As a recovering alcoholic now in my twelfth year of sobriety, I have found special meaning in this prayer. As Edwin G Hose Pro Se, it has saved my soul and served as my guided path to arrive at where I am today. You surely have seen “Footprints”, in which God carries us in times of troubled insecurity. HE has carried me for 99% of my life. With His help and these words of meaning, I have am now better prepared to carry myself. I choose to walk among like minded people. While The Tea Party focuses on the major problems which plague our country today (illegal immigration is but one), I have enjoyed being granted permission and given grateful assistance in telling my true story from this AMERICAN platform. For most, mine is a matter to be dismissed and disregarded. For me it has been a matter of absolute necessity to tell. I am much more likely to maintain my sanity having done so. For those of you who have noticed my presence, I have come here to officially report the gang rape of my character, integrity and soul by Buca Inc(NASDAQ) and one ( or two, Mr. Owsiany) unscrupulous lawyer ( Lois Glanby ). In my Pro Se action(s) I had attempted to report the crime, but not being a lawyer I have failed to provide myself the sought after trial that had been stolen from me. This apparent failure however is not actually a failure. A specific purpose has been achieved. THE ILLEGALLY OBTAINED AND DECEPTIVELY FILED “AGREEMENT” IN HOSE V BUCA INC CASE 2:07-CV-00242 HAS BEEN SHREDDED AND DISPOSED OF. The “non disparagement” clause in this “generic” document has been the primary motivation, TRUTH IS NOT DISPARAGEMENT. I have posted 30+ documents from bygone years that tend to confirm my allegations. It was my intent to have a jury hear this. From a lie made by a general manager in an unemployment case, to the intentional devaluation and disappearance of stock issued by the corporation because of being caught in it, I have been in a living nightmare ever since. It is said that God has a sense of humor… I have seen it and laughed along with Him. LOL, of all the attorneys in Pittsburgh to choose from, I had to find THE WORST ( ask anyone in the Western District of Pa ). One who was perfectly willing to spit in the face of her clients, exhibit blatant misconduct and file a fraudulent document in court, sacrifice her “career”, and place herself in bankruptcy. This all done to protect the Buca name. I now repay in kind by spitting in the face of Buca Inc. former board members and the named attorney. I am sure Planet Hollywood International Inc PHWDQ.PK was very proud to have agreed to this MERGER. I wonder if they too have been duped, or were entirely complicit? Perhaps Robert Earl, the FBI or SEC will one day answer that for me. Until that day comes… I am free.    

          I am krill in the sea of life, first link in the food chain here wishing all of  you DESERVING AMERICANS a very MERRY *CHRIST*MAS       ,  and a HEALTHY, HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS 2014. May God bless America.

NDAA BILL PASSED; CRUZ VOTES "NO"


CRUZ-NDAA.jpg


Texas Senator Ted Cruz said he was deeply concerned that "...Congress still has not prohibited President Obama’s ability to indefinitely detain U.S. citizens arrested on American soil without trial or due process..."

His statement reflected his "No" vote for passage of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).  Said Cruz:

"..."The Constitution does not allow President Obama, or any President, to apprehend an American citizen, arrested on U.S. soil, and detain these citizens indefinitely without a trial. When I ran for office, I promised the people of Texas I would oppose any National Defense Authorization Act that did not explicitly prohibit the indefinite detention of U.S. citizens. Although this legislation does contain several positive provisions that I support, it does not ensure our most basic rights as American citizens are protected..."

There were some aspects of the Bill Cruz supported, but the Senator said:

"...Unfortunately, the final outcome of the NDAA bill included provisions that made it impossible for me to support; specifically, Sen. Harry Reid refused to allow a vote on any amendments to protect the Due Process rights of American citizens not to be subject to indefinite detention..."

The statement from Cruz's office asserted that items of the Bill the Senator had worked to help pass included the following:

  • A Cruz Amendment requiring an independent investigation into reports of religious discrimination against troops sharing their faith (Section 533).
  • A Lee-Cruz amendment that strengthens the protection of religious liberty in the military (Section 532).
  • Provision prohibiting the President from selling or transferring the Mount Soledad veterans’ memorial in San Diego to the highest bidder. The ACLU and groups hostile to this veterans memorial have long advocated this transfer (page 298, Joint Explanatory Statement). Sen. Cruz offered a similar amendment on the Senate floor.
  • A provision that anonymously surveys chaplains on threats to their faith and their work (Section 534).
  • Language from a Cruz amendment to recognize and commend the State Department’s authorization of the Rewards for Justice program for the terrorists who attacked the diplomatic facilities in Benghazi Libya on September 11, 2012 (Sections 1206, Joint Explanatory statement).
  • Language from Sen. Cornyn’s amendment, co-sponsored by Sen. Cruz, authorizing the Purple Heart to victims of the Fort Hood terrorist attack (Section 565).
  • A Cruz amendment to direct the Secretary of Defense to address the growing threat of a missile attack from the Gulf of Mexico or the southern hemisphere through bolstered missile defense capabilities (Section 238).
  • A Cornyn amendment, supported by Sen. Cruz, to prohibit the Department of Defense from using taxpayer dollars to purchase Russian-made helicopters (Section 1255).
  • Prohibition of moving Guantanamo detainees back to the United States (Section 1034). Sen. Cruz introduced an amendment in the Senate Armed Services Committee markup to authorize the Department of Defense to transport medical supplies or needed personnel from the U.S. to Guantanamo Bay in order to prevent detainees from being transported to the United States for medical care.
  • Prohibition on a new Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) round (Section 2711). Sen. Cruz won adoption of an amendment in committee markup that would have required DOD to conduct an overseas BRAC study before even considering a domestic BRAC round.
  • Protection of Servicemen and Women and their Families
  • Protection for graduates of home school education to ensure they are not discriminated against in joining the military (Section 573).
  • Improved assistance for widows of troops killed in combat (Section 633).

WHEN IS IT TREASON?

When a US government sets itself above the Constitution. When those elected and entrusted by the people willfully and un-constitutionally elevate their positions above the law.  When a president declares his disdain for the Constitution and resorts to executive powers which only exist within the confines of his own mind.  This is TREASON!  When government brings to bare the forces at its disposal to subdue the governed by laws it excuses itself from compliance of there is Treason and Tyranny.  Those elected to such a government commit nothing less than "high crimes and misdemeanors" by which they expose themselves to arrest and trial by the people.  There is no doubt whatsoever that the government of the 113th Congress, the President elect 2008, the current Supreme Court and the current administration are guilty al all the above violations of the U S Constitution as well as a large number of statute laws of every state in our Republic.  It is time they answered for their criminal behavior, their lies, treason and defiance of the United States Constitution!

Merry Christmas to My Tea Party Family (+ video)

4063794133?profile=originalRather than asking you to read a long wordy post from me, I will make this as concise as possible. I love you. For the past five years, we have weathered numerous storms together including the Democrat's and mainstream media's deplorable irresponsible on-going campaign to brand you as a bunch of red neck racists.

I have traveled the country on 12 national bus tours; Stop Obama Tour, Tea Party Express and Rebuild American Defeat Obama Tour. On one occasion we held our breath as Ray, our bus driver inched his way up and down steep mountains in the snow because the main road was out. One misstep would have sent our Tea Party Express bus over the cliff.

Another time our bus had to be towed out of a sinkhole. The late Andrew Breitbart was on board when protesters egged our bus. Then, there was the time a coward smashed a full bottle of beer on our bus and ran off.

I have been away from home so much that our greyhound, Sammy, gives me the cold shoulder when I return.

You have spent tons of money traveling to rallies, hotels and meals. You have generously supported conservative candidates. Yes, we have been through a lot together.

Well, the battle for America is not over; miles to go before we sleep.

But for now, please enjoy this music video my wife Mary put together. It is me singing “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas”. The images were taken by friends which includes photographer Mary Pearson who traveled with us on most of the tours. The music is produced by Frank Starchak, my dear friend and music producer of 20 years. Enjoy folks: http://bit.ly/1ftZwsp

God Bless, Lloyd

4063794153?profile=original17-year-old Arapahoe High School Gun Victim Dies – Some Blame 2nd Amendment

The 17-year-old Colorado student who loved horses, life and what was expected to be a promising future after graduation died Saturday from her gun injuries.  Claire Davis who had been the only victim of the gunfire unleashed by shooter and fellow Arapahoe High School student Karl Pierson was shot point blank in the head on December 13, according to the Chicago Tribune.

The unfortunate tragedy underscores the need for both law enforcement as well as mental health authorities to play closer attention to some of the possible triggers which set deadly shooters like 18-year-old Pierson onto their campaign pathway of evil.

There are some at the school who appeared to believe that Pierson was all consumed with the notion of creating as many victims of his mayhem as possible.  He came to the school armed with, “a legally purchased 12-gauge pump-action shotgun, a machete, and three Molotov cocktails, 125 rounds of steel-shot, buckshot and slug ammunition,according to Denver Westword.

Although Davis seemed to have had an acquaintance with the armed teenage shooter, according to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office,  Pierson did not appear to have singled her out as one of his intended victims.

Another Attention Whore Shows Up

Anyone else feel Chuck has no business putting his 2 cents in on this? Anyone respect his comments?

Charlie Sheen rips 'Duck Dynasty' patriarch over homosexuality remarks

Actor Charlie Sheen has waded into the controversy surrounding “Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson with a long rant on social media site TwitPic in which Sheen calls Robertson "Mallard-brained" and a "shower dodger."

Robertson was placed on indefinite hiatus from the A&E reality show about his family after a GQ interview was published in which he responded to an interviewer's question about what he considered to be sinful behavior by paraphrasing the New Testament and equating same-sex relationships with other biblically proscribed couplings, including bestiality. 

"Your statements were and are abhorrently and mendaciously unforgivable," said Sheen in comments published Saturday. "You are now in the crosshairs of a MaSheen style media beat down." Sheen was fired from the hit CBS show "Two and a Half Men" in 2011 amid ongoing issues with substance abuse and allegations of domestic violence. 

Sheen is the latest prominent person to weigh in with reaction to Robertson’s comments. In recent days, the “Duck Dynasty” star has drawn support from Sarah Palin and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, while being attacked by gay rights group GLAAD, and losing connections with Cracker Barrel.

In light of Phil Robertson's suspension from the show, the fifth season of which begins January 15, the Robertson family is reportedly considering walking away from the series, to which A&E has exclusive rights.

"Bigger, Badder NDAA"

4063793838?profile=originalhttp://www.conservativeinfidel.com

"Regardless of promises to the contrary made every year since 2011 by President Obama, the language of the NDAA places every citizen of the United States within the universe of potential “covered persons.” Any American could one day find himself or herself branded a “belligerent” and thus subject to the complete confiscation of his or her constitutional civil liberties and to nearly never-ending incarceration in a military prison.

Finally, there is in the NDAA for 2014 a frightening fusion of the federal government’s constant surveillance of innocent Americans and the assistance it will give to justifying the indefinite detention of anyone labeled an enemy of the regime."

Go to the above link for the full story!

Above I posted a couple paragraphs about the new NDAA that was passed yesterday (quietly of coarse). It is truly scary and YOU AND I will definitely will fall under "belligerent" category. Anyone who doesn't agree with the Liberals and their progressive agenda will be targeted!

Is Phil Robertson being accused falsely of Racism? – photo credit A&E

Is Phil Robertson being accused falsely of Racism? – photo credit A&E

There is a literal firestorm building and the supporters of Duck Dynasty and the beleaguered reality show star Phil Robertson are refusing to bend to new charges of racism.  So should he stay or should he go now that the PC police have tried to hang the charge of racism around the neck of the head of the Duck Dynasty popular show?

New supposed revelations are circulating in the mainstream media and amongst fellow travelers in the gay community that they have latched onto other comments from Robertson’s GQ interview and condemned him for now showing dark racist intentions in his heart.

Robertson is quite open about his upbringing in the southern culture of the pre-civil rights era that birthed him.  He is quoted as saying, “I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once. Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers. I hoed cotton with them. I’m with the blacks, because we’re white trash,” said the Wire.

That was the beginning of a statement which any person using commonsense should understand without having to go through years of civil rights study and history.  The Duck Dynasty leader of his family was not making a statement of fact about the mistreatment of blacks during that era of racism and disenfranchisement.  He was stating a fact based upon his own perspective and his reality.

GA homeowner shoots one of three suspects who broke into his home – photo credit – Decatur 11AliveTV

 

When a homeowner has a break-in it is more than just an invasion of their privacy.  It is an attack on their sense of safety and security.  So you can imagine the anger that a Georgia homeowner felt when he was surprised by burglars who broke into his home a second time, reported Guns n Freedom. 

 

The homeowner who was on an afternoon lunch break  called 911 and as was to be suspected the police would not arrive in time to deal with the three thugs.  Enough was enough and the homeowner decided that he had the only type of justice these three thieves would understand.  He , “at that point pulled out a personal firearm and fired, striking one of the suspects,” commented Capt. Stephen Fore of the Dekalb County Police

2016 Election Drive

Interestingly  enough, when GWB was President the media published numbers of the military deaths in Iraq  and Afghanistan daily.  With Obama in the White House, the  mainstream media has been strangely quiet.
.More than 1,000  American soldiers have lost their lives in Afghanistan in the last 27  months.
This is more than the combined total of the nine years  before.
.Recently 50 additional NATO and US  servicemen have been murdered, inside jobs by those who are hired to be a force for good in Afghanistan.
.Our Commander in Chief is AWOL. Not a peep, although he ordered the White House flag flown at half-staff for Sikhs that were killed.
.There is a deep disgust, a fury, growing in the ranks of the military against the indifferent  incompetence of this President.
.No one knows what to do about him, but the anger runs deep as the deaths continue with no strategic end in sight to the idiocy of this  war.
.Obama has had nearly 5 years to end this futile insanity, during which time he has vacationed,  golfed, campaigned, and generally ignored the plight of our men and women in  uniform.
But, there is now a movement afoot in the armed services to launch a get out the vote drive against his party in the next election.
.Not just current active duty types, but the National Guard, Reserves, the retired, and all other prior service members. This is no small special interest  group, but many millions of veterans who can have an enormous impact on the outcome of an election if they all  respond.
.The million military retirees in Florida alone could mean an overwhelming victory in this state if they all show up at the polls.
It might not keep hundreds more from dying between now and the next election,
but a turn out to vote by the military against this heart breaking lack of leadership can make a powerful statement that hastens a change to the indifference of this shallow little man who just lets our soldiers die.
. Veterans:  Get the word out! High Priority!

Obama Loves Crack Dealers

I watched my neighborhood die from crack before my eyes, despite Samsonian effort.

Imagine my horror since the 90s as the pro-crack lobby walks over dead bodies of addicts and shooting victims to embrace the low lifes selling this poison and pulling triggers which killed them.
 
But, I'm not surprised.
 
Crack dealers disproportionately addict broke Black people; shoot broke Black people; destroy broke Black families and obliterate broke Black communities.
 
Liberals can't profit off crack dealer's body court, but they can profit from championing crack dealers, now painted as loveable young Black tykes who can walk on water after selling death to their peers.
 
President Obama recently gave clemency to eight " non-violent " drug offenders.
 
I love it when liberals call crack dealing " non violent " because even if the thug in question doesn't use a gun, the poison he sells creates zombies and urban dead zones for many years after some socialist pats him on the head and says it's alright.
 
Severe sentencing is the very least society can do to punish such brutal and expensive creating crime.
 
Mandatory minimum sentences provided an unlikely civil rights victory where those who harmed broke Black people actually faced serious penalties, instead of being let off with judicial slaps on the wrist. 
 
They arose from frantic cries from besieged inner cities in the 80s demanding the National Guard protect them from crack dealers poisoning and riddling their neighborhoods.
 
Broke Black life is very cheap, so cheap that even the biracial man calling himself our first Black president lowers it's value by granting clemency to dealers in federal prison.
 
But, he never watched his neighborhood die throughout America nor fight crack culture for 20 years.
 
Obama and the Left love crack dealers because that's the highest they feel most inner city Black men can rise, so they lower the bar accordingly.
