We left a municipality in Michoacan, which is often confused in the mainstream media as part of the Tierra Caliente region, but is actually Sierra. We hear that there is going to be a negotiation with the state and federal government and autonomous self-defense groups in order to accord the legalization of the self-defense groups. We head to Tepacaltepec where the meeting is to be held. The scene is surreal to say the least, but so is eve...

Atrás queda una municipalidad de Michoacán que los medios masivos equivocan al ubicar en Tierra Caliente, en realidad nos encontramos en la Sierra Madre Sur Occidental. Nos avisan que hay una negociación entre el gobierno federal y estatal, y los grupos de autodefensa. Tomamos rumbo a Tepalcatepec, donde la reunión tendrá lugar. La escena es surreal, pero esto ya no nos sorprende porque todo en Michoacán es surreal estos días.
En lo qu...

What's Predictive Policing?
Predictive policing, with roots in business analytics, relies on using advanced technological tools and data analysis to take proactive measures to “pre-empt” crime. Regarded as a refinement of “intelligence-led policing” - which came to the US from the UK where it has led police to focus on research-based approaches rather than responding to service calls - predictive policing appears to take another large step away from community policing and accountability....

The Zombie Drug: are bath salts really the threat we're lead to believe?
Media outlets, politicians, and the public seem in consensus that the new designer drugs known as "Bath Salts" are dangerous substances that warrant new legislation. Grizzly attacks which the media has blamed on this new class of drug provide for sensational stories, but are the claims true, or are these simply scare tactics to support a prohibition on the drugs?...

Cannabidiol Relieves Psychosis in Schizophrenia, Why Illegal?
A molecule in cannabis (CBD) has shown to relieve anxiety and symptoms of psychosis in people diagnosed with schizophrenia, though many patients are denied or discouraged from this medicine with fewer side effects than pharmaceutical products because the DEA has deemed the cannabis plant to be "illegal". The U.S. government needs to answer "why?" this medicine warrents time in prison when nobody is being harmed....

I Survived an Assassination Hit on a Real IRA Leader
The murder of Real IRA leader Alan Ryan by Dublin's drug cartel is a tragedy as Alan stood up for the oppressed and demanded a community tax from the drug gangs. The drug cartels should pay for the damage that they cause in the community and Alan Ryan realized this. From my perspective Alan Ryan is the true martyr in the "war on drugs" who was killed for standing up to bully drug gangs. God bless Alan Ryan for his courage against evil!!...
