You can be educated, and still be ignorant. To claim you're not is arrogance. Everyone is ignorant about certain aspects. It seems your ignorance happens to be, and is not limited to, the paths and most common timeline of countries facing empirical collapse.
Dont get me wrong. I mean that's great that you have a good memory to repeat what you've learned. Then again, memory is often mistaken for intelligence. I'll admit, I'm envious of people with a good memory. The double digit concussions I've suffered limit me in that department, but at least it helps me keep ego in check.
So, feel free to look into Sir Jon Glubbs work titled "The Fate of Empires". It describes the stages in which empires rise and fall according to a common timeline and actions.
Pffft wait... what am I saying??? You've been educated, therefore you have already read it since you cannot be ignorant of anything. So I should just ask you -what ways you believe America has not mimicked past collapsed empires up until the Age of Consequences-.
Let me know if you just want to have that flop-off or maybe an arm wrestling match? How about we settle the "authority" thing by seeing who can fart the loudest?

Buzzfeed article is source
The memo, apparently written by Timothy J. Shea, Acting Administrator for the DEA, appears to have been approved by one Gerard Weinsheimer – though BuzzFeed state the signing was made by Bradley Weinsheimer, Associate Deputy Attorney General.
Let's do some research Gerard Weinsheimer and Bradley Weinsheimer. Bradley is the Associate Deputy Attorney General. Now what about Gerard, who's name is signed on this "memo" from Buzzfeed?
Nothing, he's a nobody. It's a fake memo, signed by a fake guy and Buzzfeed's past disregard for vetting of sources cements this further. People really need to learn to vet sources and stop falling for well-built fake news.
The non-buzzfeed [article] (https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1290585/us-drug-enforcement-administration-protests-Donald-trump) that I got the quote from.

In the eyes of the DEA we would be in possession of an illegal schedule 1 narcotic.
We're fine with city/state law enforcement. Not sure if I'd risk bringing a federally illegal substance to a protest where federal agents could be conducting investigations or arrests.
I remember during Occupy Wall Street, one of the ways the police justified breaking up the gatherings was that there was "rampant drug use present".
Don't give the authorities a reason to silence you.

You clearly don’t understand the criminal process or the Supremacy Clause. Federal law trumps state law. The states do not have a RIGHT to create law in defiance of the federal government. You would be found guilty and nothing would done at a large scale. Pretty simple really. The reason they’re not arresting is NOT because of the legal battle. It would go before a federal judge and the judge would follow the law. The best answer to why they’re not going after dispensaries like they were is because of so many states making the change and it no longer being worth their efforts. Now they are focused on opioids.

“Drug enforcement agents should not be conducting covert surveillance of protests and First Amendment protected speech,” said Hugh Handeyside, a senior attorney for the ACLU. “That kind of monitoring and information sharing may well constitute unwarranted investigation of people exercising their constitutional rights to seek justice. The executive branch continues to run headlong in the wrong direction.” We used to look at 1984 as a dystopian novel. I think we have surpassed that now with our current reality.

Yup. From a 1994 interview with John Ehrlichman Nixon's domestic policy adviser,
“You want to know what this was really all about?” ... “The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

There won’t be a “legitimate” news source recognized by our government that will have such information. There are quite a few documentaries that touch on the subject, however. One thing that we all should agree on is the fact that the internet is heavily censored these days, and information that goes against people with that kind of wealth and is unfortunately not readily available, especially not by any major news or newspaper outlet.
I would suggest watching some or all of the following links, as they do have some very good information and they do cite sources. Least you can do is give them a listen. You may find there’s some good information to be found.
https://youtu.be/phU3A-fBlp8
This one has just been reposted last week. Had hundreds of thousands of views before previously being taken down. It’s been deleted off YouTube multiple times already, for reasons I personally am not sure of. However sources are listed in the video, and can be individually searched. Soros is mentioned a few times throughout the documentary.
https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA6d1H18pxiHm9twCzHPYRdsd8mLgevZi
A lot of good information in this one that can be verified as well.
Also to be clear, I’m NOT some big Trump supporter, by any means. I know he has done many things that should have been done differently. I, however, would take him over Hillary or Biden any day.
And at this point, Id like to apologize to the mods and other people in this group for writing all of this stuff that’s unrelated to FL medical cannabis. I guess one thing led to another haha. Because of this, I won’t be responding to or posting anything else unrelated to FLmedicaltrees.
With that being said, there’s some good information in these videos, and I’d love to continue any sort of civilized discussion via private messages, in case anyone has questions or anything. Again, my apologies for the thread hijack. You all are awesome and we really all are in this together. Bless you folks and have a good rest of your day

We the people are against fascism as a whole. Antifa is a term used to give boomers a target for propaganda. Antifa was the Republicans and Russians creating unrest during the elections and now.
The people destroying buildings that aren't corrupt police stations and corrupt government buildings are what happens when everyone doesn't honor the rules of law. Some people on all political spectrums only behave because of law and the fear of eternal damnation. Bastardization of religion and allowing fascism will only exacerbate the situation.
Our president at every term has called people of color animals, and they are being treated like animals. I get it. Sorry you don't.
We're done with any police state.
Absolute ignorance. Don't worry to all the traitors licking the dicks of actual fascists. We understand just how ignorant you are.
