(NaturalNews) Colorado and Washington pot smokers are lighting up in celebration after having achieved a stunning decriminalization victory at the ballot box. Inhale while you can, my brothers and sisters, because Obama is already plotting how to re-criminalize your swag and nullify states' rights.
Marijuana decriminalization, you see, was a states' rights victory that more or less flipped Washington D.C. the finger. From Obama's point of view, this simply cannot be allowed to stand because it would set a precedent of the tyrannical federal government "allowing" states to decide their own laws, separate from federal law. While the U.S. Constitution clearly encourages precisely such a structure, the U.S. federal government that exists today operates like a power-hungry gang of thugs who seek to crush anyone and anything that threatens to stand against it. There does not even exist the facade of respecting the limitations of federal government described in the Constitution.
Mark my words:
Obama, who is himself an admitted pot smoker, is coming after YOUR right to smoke pot.
It will start with polite-sounding lawsuits. The federal government will claim total control of all individual activity under the "commerce clause" of the U.S. Constitution and pressure a few key federal judges to overturn state decriminalization laws.
If, for some reason, that fails, the DEA -- which operates much like a pack of hungry wolves barely restrained on a short leash -- will be given the green light to start conduct
armed federal raids in Washington and
Colorado. The point of the raids? To send the message that the feds are still in charge, regardless of what the voters say.
A lesson in power
All the pot smoking voters in Washington and Colorado are about to receive a valuable lesson in power. They think they have won a permanent victory for liberty, even if they don't describe it in those words. In reality, all they have done is antagonize federal forces of evil which are already planning a powerful counter-assault that will remind the slaves of America (the voters) who is really in charge.
And why? Because if
marijuana decriminalization is not crushed by the political forces in Washington D.C., then its very existence might encourage other states to decriminalize things like
industrial hemp farming, holistic medicine or even raw milk. For God's sake, states might behave under the misimpression that they control their own destiny!
On this subject, I've already published a list of
five things any state could legalize right now in order to experience an
economic golden age. Each of these fives things would require states to assert their
Tenth Amendment rights to nullify the power of the federal government within the state's own borders. This is precisely what Colorado and Washington have done with marijuana decriminalization laws. They may not call it a "Tenth Amendment" initiative, but that's exactly what it is.
Make no mistake that the
federal government will use any means necessary to reverse this: Lawsuits, armed raids, false flag attacks, propaganda campaigns and so on. The federal government in America today is run by truly maniacal power-hungry criminals. Ron Paul calls Washington bureaucrats "psychopathic tyrants." There is absolutely nothing they won't do to enforce their fabricated authority over the states and the People.
If it means marching into Colorado with
federal troops and shoving rifles in the faces of small-time pot growers, that's exactly what they will do. For those of you in Colorado and Washington right now, do not suffer under the delusion that you are now free to smoke pot with impunity. You have merely achieved a reversible ballot victory that was only allowed to take place because the vote fraudsters were too busy stealing other elections (Prop 37!) to effectively defeat your marijuana decriminalization ballot measures.
It is good that you did achieve that victory, of course, because now the real lessons in liberty will be realized. At this point,
Obama has no choice but to show his vindictive double standard where it's okay for the President to campaign on the "coolness" of having smoked pot and inhaled, but his own voters who do the same thing will be arrested at gunpoint and incarcerated in federal prisons. And if you're black like Obama, by the way, your prison sentence will be double or triple that of white offenders.
That's real tyranny, and that's the real Obama. Those of you voted for Obama and are enjoying your temporarily-legalized pot in Colorado or Washington are about to learn a very costly lesson in federal tyranny. Within a year, your states will be under assault by the feds, and your freedoms will be even further stripped away by the very President who campaigned on the idea that the government would listen and respond to the needs of the voters.
Obama lied. The federal government doesn't want liberty in America; it wants CONTROL.
DEA agents are right now salivating at the thought of identifying, targeting and raiding small-time pot gardens in Colorado. Those who flaunt their growing, harvesting or smoking will be the first who are targeted. Don't say you weren't warned.
