“The end times are approaching”

“You will be attacked by abortionists who will kill your children”

Abortionists only “kill” their own children…

John McCain who lives in 9 Mansions, thinks it is funny that we are exporting cigeretts to Iraq, (”that will kill more of them”)…

I believe that’s Iran, not Iraq, which makes it even more noteworthy; apparently, U.S. exports to Iran have significantly increased under the Bush régime.

Dark forces are at work…

All my life I have known that my simple faith in Christ would be rewarded, but with all modesty, I am surprised that God has chosen me, and my fellow writers at Shelley The Republican.com to be the vessels of all our salvation.

I’m not surprised. The mediocre knows nothing higher than itself.

Firstly, faith in Christ is never simple! On the other hand you believe, you are something special - you just believe in it, but you don`t know exactly!. I agree - it is great to believe in God, but this must be your own intimate experience. God had chosen you? - I would never talk about it. If I read such an article like now, I think you must be a bunch of ultra lefties. This website must be a spoof! I know some serious Christians, but no one of them would talk about his own spiritual experiences in public!

My drug experiences I had in the 70ies. Most interesting for me personally was Psylocibin - these tiny slim mushrooms which with their hallucinatory effect grows in Mexico too. We have these kind of mushrooms all over the Mediterranean and the Alps. Also nice "colorful" trips are the seeds of "morning glory" (Ipomoea violaca). In the 70ies I was hanging around in Matala, Crete, this was a well known international meetingpoint of hippies. Some guys from the States told me a lot about these drugs. For example LSD was pretty common all over Europe, easy, good and cheap. However I remember to 2 or 3 guys, they got a kind of "Psychosis" after their LSD trips. I remember to one these guys, he began to carry a 2 feet high figure of Blessed Virgin Mary in his bag - to the restaurant, to the park, to his parents and so on. He became total crazy after his exessive LSD using. I think one or two years later he commited suicide. An other guy got heavy depressions (after many LSD trips) and he had to go to the psychiatry - after 1-2 years of rehab he was ok again. Most of the people had not troubles with their LSD experiences. Sometimes one of us got a "horror-trip", but not for a longer period. Flashbacks were not uncommon and I remember, it was harmless. In the 70ies we used natural drugs, like Bella Donna, Henbane, Datura or Fly Agaric and so on, these are the typically witch drugs, with their strong hallucinatory effect. But we used that stuff one time only, cause their side effects were too nasty. I have never used PCP, this was the typically Hells Angels Drug - also known as the Angel-Dust. Just a small number of people used that stuff and they told me scary stories. Real trubbles I got by using different Opiate products. All my rehabilitations were definitely horrific and it needed almost one month untill I was in normal condition again. We call a heroin or opium withdrawal "Cold Turkey" that means sleepless nights for 1-2 weeks and heavy pain all the time. Opiates are all products from the Poppies (Papaver somniverum): Morphium, Opium, Heroin, Codein and some people prepare a Poppy-Tea as well (cook poppy straw as a tea). Tastes totally terrible. The farmers in the Alps used it in the past against their sleeping problems. Cannabis sativa - you call it Pot in the US - I smoked a lot in my hippie years. Easy to get and real cheap all over the Middle East, Northern Africa and Southern Asia. From the late 60ies till to the early 80ies many Indian-travellers took a lot of Hash, Marihuana and Hash Oil to Europe, without finacial interests. Hash and Grass was very common and cheap in Europe and in countries like the Netherlands and (in parts of Denmark) it is still allowed. In Spain, Austria, Italy, Switzerland....the police don`t even care if someone smokes pot in public. The drug situation in Austria right now I don`t know exactly. But an old friend told me, it became a bit stricter, cause the drug-related crime increased since 1 decade. A big question is: What actually happens to make some people addicted to drugs, tabletts or alcohol. Bascially all Opiates make people addicted - this stuff is definitely dangerous and some tabletts too. In using Cocaine I have not much experiences - Cocaine was rare and expensive in Europe, cause the long distance to South America. But Opiate - like heroin, codein, morphium came from the Middle East or in the 70ies from the Golden Triangle. (Laos, Thailand, Burma). A couple of times I got informations, that CIA agents worked with drug dealers in Colombia, Nicaragua, Laos and Afghanistan. Air America, this non-offical airline and air supply between Laos and South Vietnam was also used as heroin transport - some high ranking Laotian officers became rich persons and immigrated to the States after the war 75. They sold their stuff also to GIs in Vietnam. In the 90ies CIA planes brought cocain to the States. There was a lot of excitment in Southern California against the CIA and their connection to drug dealers. Russia became an important drug transfer - the overland transport from Afghanistan to Central Europe is easier and they have to pass just 2-3 borders only. By the way....it was the ghost of Jesse Helmes - I would like to meet the ghost of Jimi Hendrix! Peter Vienna Abbie – you know a lot about drugs. My drug experiences I had in the 70ies.

I jumped to the wrong conclusion! I took your remark out of context! There are worse things than to be accused of being a pothead in my opinion! An alcoholic,especially one who's constantly wasted on moonshine,for instance! Or a prescription drug addict like Rush Limbaugh! I've heard Rush is a show-biz act that doesn't actually believe his own bullshit! He's just a fake spewing neocon propaganda for big money! He wound up an Oxycontin addict because the guilt of spouting years of Republican party line dogma bothered his conscience! @whattheheck, Sorry about that! I jumped to the wrong conclusion!
