Normally I’d agree but I think in this case descheduling has a different route. I think the president and the DEA can just move it down the made-up list of scientifically inaccurate fear-mongering.

The fact that the supreme Court can use that argument is insane. Is not washing our hands before surgery American tradition? Is slavery American tradition? Just because we’ve done something before, doesn’t make it legal in any other topic area.
Americans also just renamed some of their Christian holidays in order to pretend that there’s equality. My daughter still has to do homework during Chanukkah every night but gets the week of Christmas off but now the same exact vacation from school is called “winter break” so it’s totally “not religious now.”
whenever I post or talk to people on an online forum or something like that, they think that I’m a child or “chid-llike” q.q That is fake!! I’m not a child because I am 20 years old ok!! But it’s ok if they think that, I think it’s something disrespectful >.
No they haven’t. Even if you report them to the FBI, they will get referred to the military’s counterintelligence commands, like the Army’s 902nd military intelligence group. These are mostly the right leaning folk who joined the military to be cops. In one of my interviews with the counterintelligence agents he basically started answering his own questions and then just told me he was going to get somebody to vouch for the person. My identity was apparently leaked because multiple people know, including the commander, the investigator, the other people who work in the office where the person being reported also works. I’m sure I’ll find out later that he knows as well. It’s all a shell game. The exception to FBI policy was specifically built so that the military could hide these things. Giving commanders the ability to look the other way on crimes gives them a special power over people and a special knowledge of how to get away with illegal acts. The people they want to succeed can get away with anything and the people that are the wrong race or religion or whatever. Just get to deal with some dude that joined the army and now has power over him. The rules were written this way on purpose.
The fact that the US government can hide or withhold information from its citizens that are not state secrets is mind-blowingly immoral. We need a fucking constitutional rewrite.

I went down that rabbit hole when I was trying to understand why the far right was interested in supporting Israel while simultaneously being anti-semitic and working alongside Nazis. Most people in the middle or left don’t understand how crazy this is. Many members of our government are literally trying to enact some biblical nestradamus bullshit to bring forth the end of times as described in the book of Revelations.
I’m a liberal Jew so it took a lot of reading to understand what the fuck they wanted end times to come for, but I guess it is so that they are then saved? As a non-Christian this seems weird and obviously cult-like but here we are.

The only optimistic point I have is that Russia doesn’t respect its assets and sees them as traders to their countries. That means when they are past their usefulness Russia will burn them and brag about how powerful they are. For once in an intelligence operation we may actually get to see the dirty details revealed about these bastards.
I don’t understand how the police can prevent public information from being released. They are just government employees and that is the people’s information. If it’s not classified due to national security reasons or a specific foia reason then this should be released without question.
I’m sure the warrant that was presented to a judge and subsequently signed had “no accusations.” Even if the judge was a rubber stamp the paper would have to say something.

If I am a small business and I advertise one price and sell it for another. It’s called bait and switch and it’s illegal. If you’re a big company, they have to write special rules for you I guess.
I was a government employee so I went through the process of reporting one who I knew of. The FBI passed off the investigation to somebody else and then one of his co-workers called me up to question what was going on. It was a fucking nightmare.
The FBI isn’t interested in solving this issue. They have been forced to admit this. The FBI is and always has been far right.
