In 1973, at the lowest point in his life, Timothy Leary had a vision. He was in Folsom Prison, facing a 15-year sentence at the age of 53, psychedelics were banned, Nixon was back in power, the Sixties were well and truly over.

Trump moves to ease cannabis restrictions – what does it mean for consumers?
Trump moves to ease cannabis restrictions – what does it mean for consumers?
While experts say rescheduling cannabis will likely lower taxes and improve access to investor funds for pot businesses, the drug will still be heavily restricted at the federal level — so not much is changing for consumers. Congress would have to pass new laws or federal agencies would need to issue new regulations to really change how people can access cannabis.
US Troops in Vietnam Hated the M16 So Much They Picked Up the Enemy’s AK-47s

Two global leaders poles apart on the same issue
China’s stance on war is very clear, in fact, it could not be more clear. In every conflict on the globe China calls for peaceful resolution and dialogue to resolve differences rather than force. A recently released White Paper, on the White Paper, on the Belt and Road Initiative, emphasised this calling for global peace, security and safety. China is nothing, if not consistent in this.

Robbers ‘Loot’ Russian Missiles Left Behind In Chernihiv; Ukrainian Police Bust Bizarre Theft, Arrest Culprits

When I began investigating the kidnapping of children in Artyomovsk [Bakhmut] by Ukraine, I had no idea of the extent to which I would uncover trafficking on an international scale and the sordid methods used to supply children to paedophile networks and organ traffickers.

Bakhmut symphony, January 2023. How the city continues to survive the war
A special unit – called Bilyi Yanhol (White Angel) – has been created in the Bakhmut Police Department. Officers from the White Angel unit search for people who want to evacuate and try to convince those who do not; they are also in charge of organising evacuation transport to help people get to safe settlements several dozen kilometres away from Bakhmut or to other parts of Ukraine.
It is for this reason why the Charitable Fund Samaritan Ministry was founded. We came as God’s ministers in order to intervene and make a lasting impact on the lives of the lost children in Ukraine. The Fund established the Perlinka orphanage in 1999. Over 30 children were found and sheltered. Aside of that, the Fund initiated the ‘soup kitchen’ which serves meals for street children, in addition to the daily needs they give them. Likewise, precautionary campaigns are being conducted by the Fund team in schools, state orphanages and other educational institutions so as to teach moral and Christian principles and to show decent lifestyle for the welfare of the society. Moreover, the Fund conducts summer Kids and Youth camps annually.
