I have been waiting for this album for about three years now and it has finally been released (well sort of). The album, which will be officially released in two weeks, has been leaked on to various torrent sites. If you are going to download it get it from MiniNova.org. People who have downloaded it from other sites are complaining about inferior quality and bitrates.

Ron Paul: Swine Flu a Non-Event
On August - 26 - 2009
When the swine flu “pandemic” initially broke out I chastised the main stream media for participating in fear-mongering. I even introduced this t-shirt into the Rotting Nation store.
It seems like Congressman and, more importantly, Doctor Ron Paul has a similar opinion calling the swine flu a non-event. He also noted the 1976 swine flu scare when a vaccine was created under the purview of Congress that killed more people than those that died from the swine flu itself. Dr. Paul was one of only two Congressmen to vote against the bill.

Links From the Drug War

Rapper Beanie Siegel was arrested in New Jersey for possession of marijuana while on his way to a show.
California wildfires have been allegedly linked to marijuana growers. Something like 70 percent of all marijuana plants seized by the US government are found on public land. Maybe if the plant was legal to grow and sell we wouldn’t have this problem. It would more likely be grown in a safer environment where the farmers are not forced to build outdoor camp fires to cook food. The farmers would also own the property they were growing on, so they would be more likely to keep it safe.
Two Honolulu police officers were caught in Las Vegas smoking marijuana in a parked van.
Walnut Creek, California, a community located almost 20 miles east of Oakland, is freaking out over it’s first medical marijuana dispensary application. After realizing the town had no restrictions to stop such an establishment, the city council called for a 45-day moratorium on marijuana dispensaries while they figure out what to do. My prediction? The council will take the time to find some obscure rule/law or permit violation and deny the dispensary.
Another insanely rich and successful person has admitted to smoking marijuana. This time it is Brad Pitt. You can add him to the long list of celebrities, athletes, politicians, musicians and presidents who have admitted to smoking the stuff in the past.
Washington Post article calls for the legalization of drugs.
Speaking of prohibition, it would be a bad idea to ban Salvia Divinorum.
Jesse Lacey Interviewed by Spin.com
On August - 17 - 2009
I think I have made my love for the alt rock band Brand New fairly obvious.
Anyway, to continue hyping the September release of their new album Daisy I thought I would post this link to Spin.com’s interview with the bands front man Jesse Lacey.
When you finish reading the interview check out their new single here.
Mom Tased in Front of Kids During Traffic Stop [Video]
On August - 16 - 2009
The mom in the following video was pulled over by a police officer for allegedly talking on a cell phone while driving. She was, however, able to prove that she was not using a cell phone, so the cop decided to write her a ticket for driving 5 miles per hour over the speed limit instead.
The mom wanted proof that she was speeding, so she asked the cop to see the video from the dash cam. The cop ordered her back in the car. When she disobeyed he said he was going to arrest her, so she got back in the car.
The cop said he wanted her back in the car because she was impeding traffic, but he later forces her to the ground in the middle of the road.
The cop then pulls her out of the car, shoots her with a taser gun and places her under arrest, leaving her children alone in the car for 40 minutes.
From MSNBC:
“I was driving with my hand on my cheek, and I think that’s what he saw,” Harmon told Vieira. “After I had given him the chance to look in my purse, check for a cell phone, then he manufactured the ticket with speeding. Again, I told him that he was wrong; I wasn’t speeding, either. Then we went back and forth.”
The mom was then cited for four offenses: speeding, talking on a cell phone while driving, resisting arrest, and disorderly conduct.
All charges were dropped after prosecutors were shown this video:
The mom has now decided to file a lawsuit against the department.
