The legalization of marijuana has been a longstanding issue in the media ever since it was made illegal with the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937. Cultivation of marijuana or, more properly speaking, the hemp plant, was outlawed because of the threat that it showed to the cotton industry and the lumber industry, both of which had a very large influence over the federal government at the time. Before 1937, marijuana was available over the counter, and was known as American cannabis. It was sold for a variety of purposes, including some of the same ones that doctors in a few states can prescribe medical marijuana for today, such as pain and nausea. Today, it is known to be effec…

just finished this little beauty! Sonny Barger is one of the "original" hells angels. He basically built the club to where it stands today, and revolutioned the way the world sees bikers and the way the 1% world run their clubs. This is a self narated story of his biker life. Sonny is a very likeable and personable dude, and this is a very easy and entertaining read. the book covers everything through his establishment of the Oakland chapter, through the trippy LSD hippy era, the legendary rolling stones concert, his run ins with the law, murders, drug deals and jail time, as well as his throat cancer whether all the story's are true or not, I don't know, but I al…

Hi I read John kaminski's internet essays, and while I don't agree with everything he says, he does an excellent job of exposing the lies we are told by the media, particularly about Sept 11 and the war against "terrorism " and weapons of mass destruction. Isn't it strange that the country with the most weapons of mass destruction (USA) is the country that wages war against a country that ACTUALLY HAS NO weapons of mass destruction? Ok I know everyone is probably sick of hearing about it, but if you want a good read...go to the John Kaminski Website. Amother intersting (Australian) website is Srenedipity (just do a search...I wasn't sure about the rules for posting links…

Mr. Nice by Howard Marks, an old book now I gather, but new to me. An absolutely wonderful book about a bloke that was alleged by the DEA to be one of the world's largest marijuana smugglers. An inspirational book that spans many years of "scamming"; moving grass and hash from one part of the world to another. From the late 60s until the eighties, Howard Marks bought and sold quantities of smoko in the mega tonns, as if he was buying a newspaper. The book is an auto-biography. Easy to read, exciting, and very enlightening. It rekindled my dreams/memories of thai sticks and blocks of hash that just don't happen anymore. Howard Marks' life experiences also reknews my…

Controversy of Zion, by Douglas Reed: was written in 1956. Reed was a foreign corespondent for the London Times, and he covered WW2. He was sacked for submitting anti Zionist articles (because the Times, and all other major newspapers were and still are owned by Zionists). He goes right back to the Old Testament, and with huge amounts of data and archive material sets out to illustrate that the world is, in fact run by Zionists. Quite a heavy read, but I get the impression there's alot of really intelligent members here who would get through it really quickly. It really is worth a read no matter what political label you pin on yourself.

This book is by David Irving (the same guy who was not allowed to speak in Australia, because they reckoned he's an anti semite). Anyone who is silenced, obviously has something to say that worries the establishment...and to me, that means it SHOULD be read. Firstly, the guy is not an anti semite, and second, it's a really good book about what happened in the Hungarian Uprising of 1956. Those people were so oppressed by the communist regime...very sad. I know it sounds dull, but is absolutely rivetting. It makes you look at the world today, and realize we may not be far from that situation ourselves (that is, living in a police state and losing our so called inalienabl…

A few weeks ago I bought 'The Jack Brabham Story' Autographed Edition for $70 odd AUS dollars. It's a great book and also a great investment if you get the Autographed edition. Besides the above, it is by far the best book I have read. It goes into alot of detail about his life before and after his Grand Prix/Formula 1racing career. It's amazing what you'll learn that you previously didn't know in just a few pages. I already knew alot about Sir Jack, but nothing compared to what I know about him now. If your a racing enthusiast of any era, wether it be modern F1, V8 Supercars or even IRL, you'll enjoy this book immensely ! It's a 'must have' for any real motorsport en…
