No, its not misleading. These dudes do NOT fuck around.
I live in Pueblo, Colorado. To be exact, I live in the East Side in whats known as a barrio/ghetto/hood. If you google Fearnowville Colorado you'll see my home. I also have a LOT of experience in hospitality and F&B and have had regular personal contact with a wide variety of immigrants. My homie Santos is an illegal from Neuvo Leon. Marianna grew up in Sonora. When I was 18 I went to prison for drug charges and made real friendships with mexican and american criminals of all stripes. I learned about ejidos, jesus malverde, mis animales, and I am intelligent. Now don't get me wrong, I'm clean and totally legit. I got kids and I don't roll with gangsters. I am respected by my peers and I earned that respect. So that's where I'm coming from. Now I gotta say you don't know much more about being a criminal than I do about Haskell. People DO disappear, and it happens a LOT. Here and there both. Here in my small southwestern town of 100,000 I can think of multiple black baggings.... once in the parking lot of a walmart, even. I know there's stats about Mexico DF that look good, but you believe the Mexican feds?
Personal anecdote: my wifes grandpa was a man named Jan Bonte. He was born in .dk, his dad was killed by nazis and he was placed in a camp. He immigrated after the war, first to .nl where he met and married his wife, and then to the US. They had a family in Colorado and after a late-life divorce he moved to Kino in the Sonoran desert for winters and came back to Colorado for summers. Because he routinely crossed the border he was ordered to mule something, and he declined. After a month of no contact we received news he died. We went to clean his remains from his house, which was gruesome after spending October in the sonoran heat after being chopped up by an axe.
Day 1 a duece n half came up with a gaggle of Mexican troops. Green uniforms, M-16s, idk if they were cops or 'cops' or what, but they gave us 3 days to gtfo.
Day 2, we picked up his ashes and had a small ceremony. He had local friends, who told us what happened and who did it.
Day 3, we were on the road
I put so many personal details because seriously: dox it if you'd like. You'll see Jan isn't counted among the victims of the drug war but it doesn't matter. The important thing is "this is how it is" and to hope it never happens to me or mine. Aqui hubo una mano negra
I don't have a point at all, I just feel I see/know an entirely different world from the average HN poster. You see alarmists clutching pearls and spreading tales - part of a bigger trend to spread fear and exagerate dangers. I see people I know and love suffer....and hope that black hand doesn't visit me.
My education was in math, and in general I find being wrong helps me get to the truth a lot quicker than not moving forward until it's 100%. None of us knows the truth yet, but slowly we're knocking out things that aren't.
Our laws are very friendly to the small homegrower, much like our laws on brewing. Nothing legally stops me and you from trading strains and seeds without telling anyone or registering anything. You can give freely if you dont charge, grow 6 plants per adult (3 budding), and all needed equipment is legal too. We've already had our first hemp crop, which was grown for as many seeds as possible, and many more acres are planned for next year. None of those strains are tracked either
Could they, legally, do anything but deny? Shareholders could sue, customers could sue, I could probably sue... seems like a strongly worded legally air-tight denial is their only practical option. Plus it might be illegal to divulge classified info
This is the time when politicians pay back their masters, before the next election gears up. This gives time between pissing people off and then having to convince them to vote for more of the same.
By attempting to prosecute the instructors, federal officials are adopting a controversial legal stance that sharing such information should be treated as a crime and isn’t protected under the First Amendment in some circumstances.
“Most certainly our nation’s security will be enhanced.”
“There are a lot of bad people out there. . . . This will help us remove some of those pests from society,”
By the time they let you know they're investigating you, they've been doing it awhile. This wasn't a friendly getting to know you, you are being investigated for federal crimes. See an attorney now, If/when they come back to arrest you it'll be a surprise.
I studied math/physics at Colorado State Pueblo, a small school with very minimal focus on research. I would absolutely recommend it to my kids when they're deciding on a school, because having actual professors teach what they love in a dept that actually cared if the students learned was wonderful.... And the professors were happy, too.
I feel like you're right, but there has to be more in it for Russia. Obama gets "good" PR and silences Snowden - the best possible outcome. I don't see Putin settling for just good publicity. If Putin played hardball here he would still gain massively with South America and still get the benefits you mentioned
