Why do people keep saying he was an amateur? He was a police officer. He was anything but an amateur.


ponc, im saying he's an amateur, my above comment will give that context

hes as much an amateur as the dumbfuck dea agent who shot himself giving a weapon safety class http://videosift.com/video/DEA-Officer-Shoots-Self-in-Foot-while-giving-demo-on-gun-safety

Sorry, kids, Dick's house was busted by the DEA so we're driving down south to Florida to drop off a HUGE chunk of product. Disney World is the only thing in the area that is at all amusing so fucking deal with it. You wanna be bored at Weeki Wachee or watch mommy toss back one too many at Bush Gardens? That's what I thought. Now look -- mommy's gotta sell off what she's got in the trunk, then you're gonna fuckin' love the shit out Mickey Mouse.

Same old bullshit.

Same old DEA song and dance.

I've never tried marijuana. Or smoked or chewed tobacco. I do partake in some alcohol consumption from time to time.

The thing that I've noticed from the perspective of someone who doesn't really know firsthand is that it very rarely seems like one is presented with even-handed information or opinions about marijuana.

On one side, you've got the "High Times" types saying that pot is a magical happy plant that can cure disease, mildly but pleasurably intoxicate without negative side effects, and make the entire world frolic together in a wonderland of peace and love. On the other side, you've got the "DEA" types that seem to suggest that anyone that ever gets so much as a whiff of marijuana will become hopelessly addicted, doomed to a fate of escalating to stronger drugs, running from the police, funding terrorists, and eventually ending up dead in a gutter after an overdose / drug deal gone south / resisting arrest.

However, its seems that recently there has been a trend to more moderate assessment, as presented here by both Paul and Ventura. Maybe it has always been there, and I just wasn't hearing it before. However, as a non-user I've been swayed to the belief that if the government wishes to extend the "war on drugs" with particular focus on marijuana, they really need to present a fresh case for it to the citizens of the USA. One that doesn't entirely spout the heavy-handed approach of the past.

^ Not at the federal level. Domestic federal programs are routine failures and outstrip military spending at a 4 to 1 ratio.

That's pretty much balderdash.

Half of the operating costs of the U.S. federal budget is spent on the military.

Domestic spending is an investment.

Mismanagement, bureaucratic bloating---yes, I agree, those are problems that must be guarded against. One need only look at the DEA for a good example.

But real, strategic, nuts and bolts domestic spending is essentially tax payer money being spent on things that tax payers can use.

Our defense spending, as a whole, including what we're spending and what we owe, is in fact the lions share of the money we're spending federally.

That also translates in resources, talent, and time that could be much better spent in other areas.

^ My thoughts exactly.

Her Ecstasy/DEA story rings true, too.

I've had so many girls tell me how Ex helped them out, improved their self image and gave them more confidence.

The DEA is a joke and it always has been. All they care about is their funding.

Heres a little from one of the eSCAMilla fan club. Its just so insane I had to share it.
Its long, but well worth the read just to glimpse the mindset of the true conspiracy nut.

Here we go.....

Advisory....
They have your name, number(s) and parent's address.
Everything you've said and done is trace-able and now on
the record. Time to stop and disappear. There are actionable
damages involved.
See: http://www.cyberguards.com/CyberStalking.html
scroll down to "federal cyberstalking laws"...
Up to 5 years in prison (juvenile detention in your case) plus up to a
$250,000 fine. Your mommy and daddy will love that. Because they
are probably gonna be liable. Talk about attorney's fees. LMAO!
Forget about ever owning a computer again. Or getting a real job
with a criminal record.
Bad boy! Bad boy!
What cha gonna do, what cha gonna do, when dey come fo' you?
You're cooked. You just don't know it yet.
Wish I could be there to see you piss your pants
when the FBI puts the cuffs on you right in your parent's home. LOL
You shouldn't mess with people who have friends in high places...

Re: Re:Your Jose Escamilla harassment campaign is just about over...
The "advisory" was a heads-up from a disinterested third party to give you a chance to quit before you get yourself truly fucked up. Jose has friends in the intel community; (read: retired spooks). Tor will not save you. They already know who you and your friend(s) are. It's just a matter of time.

Do you really believe that programs like Tor don't have a back door for national security purposes? EVERYTHING DOES. In fact, there is a huge building at Peterson AFB near Colorado springs-- millions of square feet-- filled with super computers. Every telemetric communication made in the world-- and I mean EVERY ONE -is digitally recorded there. It has been so for several decades. Your anonymity is not assured, and never has been, no matter what you believe.

But your continuing actions are only making your eventual fate all the more problematic for you once the hammer falls. It doesn't matter where you are, either. You could be in Red China and they will still find you. Funding is not a problem here. Hell ,they can even get intel on you that the public never could using the Freedom of Information Act. There are lots of ways around the Privacy Act too, for a retired field agent with lots of time on his hands. You're out of your league here, kid.

Just remember this: You had a choice, and you made a series of bad decisions. Now
it's too late. When it's all over and you look back, I can promise you that you will have nothing but regrets for what you have done. It will not have been worth the price you are going to pay. And considering the filth that you have subjected Jose and his site to, there isn't a jury anywhere that will have an ounce of sympathy for you.

No need to reply to this. You were given one last chance and you took a pass. Like I said..... you're cooked. You just don't know it yet.

Goodbye................................

PART 3

You have no idea what you are talking about.

Remember Manuel Noriega? The Invasion of Panama?
His arrest, then rotting in a Florida prison, where the press
couldn't even see him? (You're probably not old enough.)
He worked undercover for the DEA monitoring drug traffic
through Panama. But he got greedy and decided to play both
sides. He needed a SSN to get his U.S. "government" paycheck.
Once his betrayal was discovered, that gave them a nexus to
go after him ANYWHERE in the world.

If you pay taxes, in ANY country, that nexus exists.
(It's not a "conspiracy". It's by international treaty.)
It doesn't matter where you are, or who you
are. Now if you were a real, live, non-taxpaying "ghost", then my
hat would be off to you. I am. Not a penny in taxes in over twenty
years in any country where I worked... Can you make such a claim?
I seriously doubt it. And that is why you are cooked.

This is why it is nearly impossible
for most people to hide. It might be easier for a kid like you who
has never had a "real" job, thus no tax record, but for most "adults",
hiding only happens by design or government sanction. Why do I
have such a "sanction"? I was involved in the design and creation of
weapons systems that as of today, (twenty years later) still have not
been declassified.

You seem fairly "bright" and articulate for a kid, but it's really a shame
you're wasting all your time harrassing guys like Jose. His heart is in
the right place. That's why the guys in the intel community appreciate
him. But even Jose doesn't know the whole story. The level of
advancement in weapons technology is beyond the comprehension
of most American citizens. Some folks in my field are concerned that
the control of that technology has gone to a group of people who
do not have the best interests of this country in mind.

The propulsion technologies alone would revolutionize the Earth and
Humanity's reach out into the cosmos-- if they were ever declassified.
But I suppose it props up your self esteem and teenage ego to be a big
fish in a little pond rather than to apply your intelligence in areas that
could have world-wide impact. Like physics. Or literature. You're just
wasting valuable time, kid. You've spent so much time living in your
little computer fantasy world, you've lost touch with the fact that there
are real, live endeavors out in the world you could be a part of IF you
simply applied yourself.

Get a life. Know what I mean? "

WOW... See what I mean ?

Chase meth instead.

But what will all those cops, DEA agents and customs inspectors do without the marijuana busts to keep them occupied?

Making it legal will cause massive layoffs in the government agencies enforcing this! You would have to make something else illegal to compensate. I suggest high-fructose corn syrup!

I wonder if the DEA has a test for rookies, where they ask, "Hey you wanna go burn some bud?" and they see what his reaction is.
