Deputies seize 5,031 marijuana plants in North County

July 20, 2012

A two month investigation has led to the arrests of four people and the confiscation of 5,031 plants discovered in the Los Padres National Forest south of Santa Margarita Lake Road, according to a San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s press release.

Detectives used helicopters to reach the three different grow sites. The same helicopter made 14 trips  to remove a large amount of trash that had been left around the grows.

As a result of that investigation, on Tuesday,  a search warrant was served at home in Bakersfield. Evidence there led to service of a second search warrant at another home in Bakersfield.

Deputies arrested Jose Luis Villa-Carmino, 28, Rafael Deniz-Lopez, 26, Pablo Ramirez-Ayala, 27,  Jose Herrera-Aguilera, 30,  and seized seven pounds of marijuana and six pounds of marijuana seeds. All four suspects have immigration holds.

The investigation is continuing and more arrests are expected.

Here is a simple chart that shows more dramatically than a thousand words that the so-called War on Drugs is a miserable failure. [Most people know that without seeing this chart, but the question is why is it a failure? This chart shows the answer. Hint: It has something to do with money. When people are being paid handsomely to conduct a war on drugs, do they really want to win that war and put themselves out of work?]

“A former MBA student of the author’s who was the director of

emergency medicine at a large urban hospital once said that he

and his colleagues spent about 90 percent of their time treating

the knife and gunshot wounds of drug gang members. His

medical preparation for such a job included serving as a surgeon during

wartime, which he said came in very handy. Such injuries dominate all

such hospitals at tremendous expense. Th e incredible violence in America’s

cities is a direct result of the government’s war on drugs and would end if

the “war” was to end.”

Ode to zaphod:


“The champions of socialism call themselves progressives, but they recommend a system which is characterized by rigid observance of routine and by a resistance to every kind of improvement. They call themselves liberals, but they are intent upon abolishing liberty. They call themselves democrats, but they yearn for dictatorship. They call themselves revolutionaries, but they want to make the government omnipotent. They promise the blessings of the Garden of Eden, but they plan to transform the world into a gigantic post office. Every man but one a subordinate clerk in a bureau. What an alluring utopia! What a noble cause to fight!”


Ludwig von Mises

That’s funny, zaphod. You could not get any further from the truth if you used a compass and GPS.

Wikipedia : DiLorenzo has devoted much effort to scholarly historical revisionism, focusing on what has been called “the Lincoln Cult”[7] as a political and historical phenomenon. In the same vein, he has spoken out in favor of the secession of the Confederate States of America, defending the right of these states to secede in a view similar to that of abolitionist Lysander Spooner.[8] He has also criticized the crediting of the New Deal for ending the Great Depression.[9]

Freeway Ricky Ross Exposes Government Drug Running


“Freeway” Ricky Ross, a former US street legend, who as a drug dealer was once responsible for flooding California’s streets with most of its hard drugs, spoke with RT about his activism against drugs. After making up to US$2 million a day and then spending 20 years in prison, Ross started from scratch and is now trying to make a difference by keeping kids from following into his footsteps.

Film that includes clips from mainsteam media at the time, CBS etc. http://www.ncoic.com/clinton.htm ARKANSAS GOVERNOR BILL CLINTON PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH CIA DRUGS FOR GUNS CONNECTION By Paul DeRienzo An independent group of researchers in Arkansas are charging that Governor Bill Clinton is covering up an airport used by the CIA and major cocaine smugglers in a remote corner of the Ozark mountains. According to Deborah Robinson of In These Times, the Inter mountain Regional Airport in Mena,Arkansas continues to be the hub of operations for people like assassinated cocaine kingpin Barry Seal as well as government intelligence operations linked to arms and drug smuggling.

Ohhhh, zaphod, when will you ever learn? Are you really that naive? Stop, look, and listen:


Drug Trade – Fletcher Prouty


The drug trade – US spends billions of dollars to have an impenetrable Air Defense system. Col. Prouty was one of the founders of Air Defense Command so he knows exactly what its business is and how it works.

US government openly admits arming Mexican drug gangs with 30,000 firearms – but why?

I give up…six pounds of seeds? That’s a LOT of marijuana seeds. This is obviously not being grown for medicinal use, so good job to the Sheriff’s office.


0

Bingo, that is a lot of seeds and combined with the immigration hold put on those arrested, it is obviously mexican cartels growing for profit, big profit.

Be careful out there, never know when you might stubble on a patch. Good job sheriffs…

How a big US bank [Wachovia, for their CIA buddies] laundered billions from Mexico’s murderous drug gangs


As the violence spread, billions of dollars of cartel cash began to seep into the global financial system. But a special investigation by the Observer reveals how the increasingly frantic warnings of one London whistleblower were ignored
