‘Time 4 Hemp – LIVE!’ recently produced a special 12-part series on INDUSTRIAL HEMP with an emphasis on the number of jobs that would be created from manufacturing the many different products that can be made from this one amazing plant. The cannabis plant is often associated with the name ‘marijuana’, which is harvested from strains of cannabis that have high levels of THC. In reality, this is a ’3-Card Monty Trick’ a handful of Wall St. companies have played in order to maintain their fortunes. By growing industrial hemp, the manufacturing sector can produce 50,000 different products that are in direct competition with companies now operating in every aspect of our lives. Legalizing industrial hemp in America would give our farmers a cash crop that would transfer nearly 72% of the wealth now in the pockets of the 1% directly into the pockets of the 99% in less than 18-months. Along with this sudden transfer or wealth, the paradigm of humankind would shift in a twinkle of an eye.

According to the United States Office of National Drug Control Policy, Adidas, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and a few other companies imported over $1.2 million of hemp fiber last year and retailed from that more than $70 million worth of products from their investment. BMW and other car makers are creating auto parts using hemp oil (which helps in part to keep those jobs from returning to America due to the policies of prohibition). There is also a multimillion dollar hemp food industry filling the shelves of American stores, from food to tanning lotion, that U.S. farm and labor markets could greatly prosper from.

With the disastrous state of the global economy, it is more important than ever that hemp prohibition in America be repealed. Doing so will create several million jobs in less than 12 months; free us from being dependent on foreign oil; make available safe medications for the desperately ill; empty many of the cells in today’s over-crowded prisons; and generate trillions of dollars in tax revenue that is currently funding black-market crime.

SPEND 6 DAYS AT FUKUSHIMA WHILE TAKING TIME 4 HEMP!
On May 25, 2012 ‘Time 4 Hemp – LIVE!’ launches an every Friday segment for 6-weeks focused on the disaster at Fukushima with Maj. Gen. Albert N. Stubblebine III (US Army, Ret.) as the first expert guest airing globally on http://www.AmericanFreedomRadio.com 10-11a.m. (PST) and on AM/FM stations across the USA.
The World Health Organization recently stated that the radiation affecting residents in Japan’s Fukushima prefecture since the nuclear plant disaster started is below the reference level for public exposure in all but two areas and the world is safe from any danger once thought to be looming from the area – yet, many experts in the field strongly disagree.
Japanese Ambassador Murata is among those that have joined the growing chorus which include US Senators who are warning the problems at Fukushima nuclear reactor 4 is now the single greatest short-term threat to humanity and has the potential to destroy our world and civilization as we know it. Dr. Michio Kaku, nuclear physicist and professor of physics at the City University of New York states; "the whole world is being exposed to the radiation from Fukushima. The still-ongoing catastrophe at the six-reactor Fukushima Daiichi power plant in Japan has caused radioactivity to be circulating around the entire Earth.”
After visiting Fukushima, Senator Ron Wyden warned that the situation was worse than reported and has encouraged Japan to accept international help. Currently, an international coalition of nuclear scientists and non-profit groups are calling on the U.N. to coordinate a multinational effort to stabilize the fuel pools.
Evacuations are underway in Japan according to the BBC. Other reliable news sources report that the fall out from ‘black dust’ could result in health complications and perhaps death for millions of people in Japan and around the world.
This topic might seem to be ‘outside the box’ for a M-F radio show that is focused on ending marijuana/hemp prohibition; yet current research – along with Human History – indicate that industrial hemp could very well be one of the most important aspects in solving the many different problems that continue grow from a nightmare that began with a tsunami.

Medical Marijuana, Inc.’s Dixie Elixir and Edibles Brand to Launch First non-THC-Based Line of Health and Wellness Products

Colorado’s Leading Manufacturer of Edible Medical Marijuana Products Expands Patient Footprint with Federally Legal Hemp Extract (Cannabidiol) Products to Address Pain Relief, Mental Focus, and Sleep Regularity

DENVER, May 01, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Dixie Elixirs and Edibles, Colorado’s premier Tetrahydrocannabinol or THC-infused products company, today announced a new line of products which will break entirely new ground for the company in the category of non-THC-infused product development. Following closely on the heels of its acquisition by cannabis and hemp industry innovators Medical Marijuana, Inc. MJNA -2.86% , today’s announcement consists of three new hemp-based Cannabidiol (CBD) products that contain no THC:

– Dixie DewDrops: a sublingual glycerin-based tincture designed for pain relief

– Dixie Botanicals: a topical pain relief salve and massage oil

– Dixie Scrips: a pharmaceutical-grade CBD capsule in two varieties, one for daytime focus/mental energy and the other a night time sleep aid

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) currently considers hemp-based cannabinoids, including CBD, to be "food based" and therefore legal without a medical marijuana license. Amongst the many potential uses for CBD-based products that are currently under evaluation, CBD’s have been shown to relieve convulsion, inflammation, anxiety, and nausea. Based on medical potential and the federally legal status of hemp-based CBD products, Dixie and Medical Marijuana, Inc. estimate the market in the U.S. to be well over $5 billion. These three new products are the first of many that the companies intend to bring to the market in the coming year.

Dixie will initially offer the new products exclusively to their existing customer base which consists of over 400 dispensaries in the state of Colorado. This consumer base represents in excess of 70 percent of the addressable medical marijuana market in Colorado and over nine percent of the U.S. medical cannabis market. Within 90 days the Company intends to launch a mail order campaign and online e-commerce platform that will allow individuals throughout the U.S. to purchase these products since they contain no THC. The U.S. availability will be followed closely by distribution in international markets including Europe via several key product distribution relationships that are currently under negotiation.

"From the day that we created our first medicated elixirs, we have known that as an industry we have only just begun to tap the very deep health and healing properties of cannabis," said Tripp Keber, President and CEO of Dixie Elixirs and Red Dice Holdings, LLC. "These three new products open up a world of potential for Dixie and Medical Marijuana, Inc. to bring healthy alternatives to millions of patients who might otherwise never experience the tremendous benefits of cannabinoids. This is truly an exciting development for Dixie and we look forward to bringing Dixie Scrips, Dixie DewDrops, and Dixie Botanicals to patients around the country and around the world who are looking for a healthful alternative to mass-produced, man-made pharmaceutical products."

Key Facts: The New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition

---

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 18, 2012
Public Information: 202-712-4810
www.usaid.gov

---

The New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition is a commitment by G-8 nations, African countries and private sector partners to lift 50 million people out of poverty over the next 10 years through inclusive and sustained agricultural growth. It responds to strong African commitments to promote and protect food security and nutrition – articulated in multiple settings since 2003 and validated by tremendous progress made in Africa since 2009. The New Alliance builds upon and will continue the progress made by G-8 nations since 2009 at the L’Aquila Summit, and offers a broad, inclusive and innovative path to strengthen food security and nutrition.

The New Alliance supports the accelerated implementation of the African-developed and led agricultural plans (known as CAADPs), through assistance and by catalyzing private sector investment in African agriculture. It embraces the commitments made a L’Aquila and combines assistance with effective policies driven by African governments, increased private sector investment, new tools to scale innovation, and a focus on managing risk.

Initially launching in Tanzania, Ghana, and Ethiopia at the G-8 Camp David Summit, the New Alliance will expand rapidly to other African countries, including Mozambique, Cote d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso and other African nations that are participating in the Grow Africa Partnership. Over time, the New Alliance will expand to all African countries prepared to join.

Specific commitments in the New Alliance are from:

• African leaders to refine policies in order to improve investment opportunities and accelerate the implementation of their country-led plans on food security;
• Private sector partners who have already committed more than $3 billion to increase investments; and,
• G-8 members who will support Africa’s potential for rapid and sustained agricultural growth with assistance and other development tools, and ensure accountability for the New Alliance.

THE NEW ALLIANCE IS ALREADY UNDERWAY

G-8 and African partners have designed country cooperation frameworks in Ethiopia, Ghana and Tanzania. More will follow across Africa. Over 45 multinational and African companies have committed to specific agricultural investments that total more than $3 billion and span all areas of the agricultural value chain, including irrigation, crop protection, financing and infrastructure.

G-8 members are following through on L’Aquila commitments and continuing to make a down-payment of over $3 billion to kick-start this new approach. G-8 members are also taking joint actions to bring agricultural innovations to scale, support effective finance, reduce risk for vulnerable communities and economies, improve nutrition and reduce child stunting—focusing, in particular on smallholder farmers especially women, including:

• INNOVATION: G-8 members are supporting the launch of new partnerships to identify key productivity technologies, set 10-year adoption and yield improvement targets, and promote commercialization and adoption of key technologies, including improved seeds and post-harvest management systems.
• FINANCE: G8 members are supporting the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP), with a pledge target of $1.2 billion over three years in pledges from existing and new donors for the public and private sector windows. G-8 members are also and supporting the preparation and financing of bankable agricultural infrastructure projects including through a new Fast Track Facility for Agriculture Infrastructure.
• RISK MANAGEMENT: G-8 members support national risk assessment to help African governments formulate strategies for managing risks to women and men smallholder farmers, such as drought.
• NUTRITION: G-8 members will actively support the Scaling Up Nutrition movement and welcome the commitment of African partners to improve the nutritional well-being of their populations, especially during the critical 1,000 days window from pregnancy to a child’s second birthday.

At the G8 Summit held two weeks ago at Camp David, President Obama met with private industry and African heads of state to launch the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition, a euphemism for monocultured, genetically modified crops and toxic agrochemicals aimed at making poor farmers debt slaves to corporations, while destroying the ecosphere for profit.

For being a good little spokesman for the globalist thieves, Bono gets another payoff that maybe could make him the richest musician on the planet.
Not much new here. Just another example of social engineering to get us to support the rape of Africa…..all for the children of course.

Bono is now shilling for Monsanto and friends and partners with Hillary and Obama. He works the crowd and shows us how selling out is profitable.

Vote Hemp has learned today that Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has signed on as a co-sponsor of Senator Ron Wyden’s hemp farming amendment (S.AMDT.2220) to the Farm Bill (S.3240), the Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act of 2012. Announced by Senator Wyden’s office yesterday, the amendment would exclude industrial hemp from the definition of ‘marihuana.’ Senator Wyden’s amendment will empower American farmers by allowing them to once again grow industrial hemp, a profitable commodity with an expanding market. The cultivation of industrial hemp will be regulated by state permitting programs, like North Dakota’s, and will not impact the federal government’s long-standing prohibition of marijuana.

To view the amendment, please go to: http://votehemp.com/legislation.

Motivated by the potential for economic development in their home states, both Senators see tremendous potential in the ability to grow and process industrial hemp. Senator Paul’s home state of Kentucky, like Senator Wyden’s Oregon is one of many states where local farmers, businesses and lawmakers are inspired by the promise of industrial hemp production.

“I am grateful to Senators Paul and Wyden on their leadership on this important issue,” Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner James Comer said. “Kentucky was a leader in industrial hemp production two generations ago, and today Kentucky is leading the way toward restoring hemp to its rightful place as a legal and viable farm product.”

A 1998 study by the Center for Business and Economic Research at the University of Kentucky found that farmers in the state of Kentucky alone could see between $220 to $605 in net profits per acre of hemp. Writer Stephen C. Webster of The Raw Story blog observed that “Adjusted for inflation using the consumer price index, those 1998 dollars would actually be worth $310 and $854 today, although the study’s authors note that variables in supply and demand for hemp could change that valuation.”

“Industrial hemp is used in many healthy and sustainable consumer products. However, the federal prohibition on growing industrial hemp has forced companies to needlessly import raw materials from other countries,” says Senator Ron Wyden (D-Oregon). “My amendment to the Farm Bill will change federal policy to allow U.S. farmers to produce hemp for these safe and legitimate products right here, helping both producers and suppliers to grow and improve Oregon’s economy in the process.”

To date, thirty-one states have introduced pro-hemp legislation and seventeen have passed legislation, while eight states (Hawaii, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Montana, North Dakota, Vermont and West Virginia) have removed barriers to its production or research. However, despite state authorization to grow hemp, farmers in these states risk raids by federal agents and possible forfeiture of their farms if they plant the crop, due to the failure of federal policy to distinguish oilseed and fiber varieties of Cannabis (i.e., industrial hemp) from psychoactive drug varieties.

“This is the first time that language supporting hemp has come to the floor of the House or Senate for a vote since the Controlled Substances Act was passed in 1970,” says Eric Steenstra, President of Vote Hemp. “The time is past due for the Senate as well as President Obama and the Attorney General to prioritize the crop’s benefits to farmers and to take action like Representative Ron Paul (R-Texas) and the cosponsors of H.R. 1831 have done. With the U.S. hemp industry valued at over $400 million in annual retail sales and growing, a change in federal policy to allow hemp farming would mean instant job creation, among many other economic and environmental benefits,” adds Steenstra.

The Farm Bill is the primary agricultural and food policy tool of the federal government. The comprehensive omnibus bill is passed every five years or so by the United States Congress and deals with both agriculture and all other affairs under the purview of the United States Department of Agriculture.

Last year, for the fourth time since the federal government outlawed hemp farming in the United States over 50 years ago, a bill was introduced by Rep. Paul in the U.S. House of Representatives. If passed the bill H.R. 1831, the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2011, would remove restrictions on the cultivation of industrial hemp, the non-drug oilseed and fiber varieties of Cannabis. Senator Wyden would like to introduce a companion bill in the Senate. The language of Wyden’s amendment mirrors that of H.R. 1831, a bill introduced in the House this session. To view, go to: http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.uscongress/legislation.112hr1831.

“Senator Wyden’s effort is unprecedented and totally commendable, but in my view the existing prohibition of hemp farming stems less from current law, but rather the misinterpretation of existing law by the Obama Administration,” says Steenstra.

The amendment comes on the heels of the Obama Administration’s reply to Vote Hemp’s We the People petition. The response conflates industrial hemp as a Schedule 1 controlled substance. This contradicts the clear definition of marijuana presented in Title 21 of United States Code 802(16) that explicitly excludes the oilseed and fiber varieties of the hemp plant that are legal to manufacture, consume, process and purchase throughout the United States without penalty of controlled substance violation. The hemp farming petition and the administration’s response can be found at: http://wh.gov/gKH.

The timing of Senator Wyden’s amendment also coincides with the 3rd annual Hemp History Week campaign, June 4-10, 2012, which he supports. The national grassroots education campaign organized by Vote Hemp and The Hemp Industries Association is designed to renew strong support for the return of hemp farming to the U.S. The 2012 Hemp History Weekcampaign will feature over 800 events in cities and towns throughout all fifty states.
