Intimidation and the Colonel Sabow Murder in Southern California

Today, I experienced the kind of intimidation that the Sabow family has lived under for over 20 years.

(SOMERDALE, N.J.) - I’ve been working with Dr. David Sabow, the brother of Marine Colonel James Sabow who was murdered in his quarters at MCAS El Toro, California, in 1991.

A few weeks ago Dr. Sabow asked me to help him in writing a book about his brother’s murder and his 20 year investigation to bring the guilty to trial.

Warmongers eager for more blood-letting

What a spectacle they make of themselves, whooping and stomping to the frenzied beat of Tel Aviv’s drum, their dumb-ass chant getting ever shriller.

(LONDON) - You can read about it on a British government website.

Reefer Madness in Obama`s White House

Ethan Nadelman of Drug Policy Alliance calls a spade a 'f' - ing Shovel.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - I am completely flummoxed by the complete u-turn made by our president regarding medical marijuana. Nadelman in the NY Times on 7 November points the artillery and fires, what's going on?

In October 2009 he defended the use of medical marijuana and he promised his smoking public that he "would not use the justice department resources to override state laws on the issue". I can not imagine that being a flat-out lie but he surely has some answering to do.

A Javanese Paradise at Borobudur Temple

“Locals believe that if you touch Buddha’s belly and make a wish, your dreams will come true” - Novi, my guide from Jakarta.
