If you've ever been to the Pacific NorthWest states of Oregon and Washington (and their Canadian counterpart, British Columbia) then you'd know how tolerant they are towards marijuana - even before prop. I 502 succeeded. Perhaps the first visible change will be that African-Americans in South Seattle will no longer expect to be arrested for mj possession.

"The vote puts Washington and Colorado to the left of the Netherlands on marijuana law, and makes them the nexus of a new social experiment with uncertain consequences. National and international media watched as vote counts rolled into I-502's election-night party in Seattle amid jubilant cheers."

It's worth pointing out that this same neocon cabal has, for more than a decade, put in place laws protecting disclosures about "national security". So, those who actually know anything can't tell us. Hapless State Department officials thus have to make something up for journalists who can't tell us the truth, either - because they've been "asked by the administration" not to mention crucial facts, such as the existence of a CIA base. So it falls to an activist historian like Tarpley to put the pieces together - just as he did during the NATO R2P onslaught against Gaddafi's Libyan Jamahiriya when he exposed the Derna/Benghazi Corridor for the murderous terrorist enclave that it is. This was at the height of Western liberal support for intervention, when the journalism of the Guardian and the BBC was at its most compromised (they published lies). Thank you, Webster. Power to your elbow.

When we think of the CIA organising a coup, we usually imagine that it will be against a foreign country. What happened in Benghazi was a coup by a powerful neocon/Mormon Mafia/CIA alliance against the incumbent Obama administration - An American coup, launched in Libya, and then beamed back home via the media, to run on a long burning fuse until the election. Two other neocons have just weighed into the fray. Rudy Giuliani and Pat Buchanan. Giuliani (http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/15/giuliani-criticizes-obama-on-handling-of-benghazi-attack/) had the breathtaking gall to say that “Under a Romney administration, he will from the very moment of something like this — as a policy I followed on Sept. 11 — tell the truth to the American people.” But Buchanan really made the penny drop for me. Using the same accusation as Giuliai - "cover up" - he wrote at http://townhall.com/columnists/patbuchanan/2012/10/16/behind_the_benghazi_coverup : "Thus either administration higher-ups were ignorant for more than a week of what their own agents knew, and are thus manifestly incompetent, or they colluded in a cover-up and orchestrated deception." This is a false dichotomy, but one which they intend the mainstream media to adopt, because either way Obama becomes toast in November. The truth is that administration officials didn't REALISE for more than a week that "their own" CIA station in Benghazi had treacherously sold out Ambassador Stevens and his consulate staff in a deal with Sufyan ben Qumu's Ansar-Al-Sharia brigade. So we have one faction of the the CIA delegated to hooking Obama on drone strikes like a gaming-obsessed kid (this is an exact parallel with the way Kennedy was schmoozed) while the serious, and dominant, faction plots and executes a political coup which will install their new choice - Romney. Anyone still think voting counts for anything?

Either the State Department IS or IS NOT informed about CIA involvement with its ambassadors in clandestine work - such as recruiting terrorists for NATO to deploy into Syria. Obviously, the answer is that it is - except when the dominant faction within the CIA has a deeper agenda. Such was, and is still, the case in Benghazi. That Hillary Clinton can't publicly say that the CIA's Benghazi base was not under State Department control - was, in fact, controlled by a neocon Mormon Mafia that now includes CIA director Petraeus - means that State is now already under the sway of those who will be officially taking over only after Romney wins the election (John Bolton and the Islamophobia network). Even more worrying is that if, by some mishap, Obama should win, this same same CIA/neocon faction will dominate the State Department from the shadows.
