What I find as funny in this, is that this stinks of US involvement, which is the very country, my country, that said cannabis ought to be illegal to start with. Now, several of the US states have told Uncle Sam to go get smoked, and those states are showing their state authority over the fed. The US is the worst country for saying any drug, natural or not, is illegal, especially if it can cause any euphoric effect. They tried it with alcohol, and the people rebelled, which created much of the organized crime that is here, now. It took a constitutional amendment to create prohibition, and another to douche it down the drain. All that, over a bunch of prudish old bible-thumping women, who didn't like the fact, that their husbands had to get tanked, in order to find them attractive. Remember the Church Lady on SNL? That actually is what happened. After what the US forced Sweden to do, with those running certain websites, it is as plain as the nose on ones face, as to who is stirring the pot. All pun intended. The Netherlands and Sweden need to tell the US, Brits, and Germans to go drown in the sea.

From the title: "A US mining company." "Noranda Inc. was a mining and metallurgy company originally from Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Canada. It was listed on the TSX under the symbol NRD.LV. After eventually acquiring a large interest in rival mining company Falconbridge, it merged with that company in 2005. The combined company continued under the name Falconbridge Limited, ending the Noranda name. Only one year later in 2006 Falconbridge was acquired by the Swiss-based mining company Xstrata. On 2 May 2013 ownership of Xstrata was fully acquired by Glencore." Glencore is Anglo-Swiss. "Glencore plc is an Anglo-Swiss multinational commodity trading and mining company with headquarters in Baar, Switzerland, its oil and gas head office in London and its registered office in Saint Helier, Jersey. The current company was created through a merger of Glencore with Xstrata on 2 May 2013." You can find the Canadian embassy in Kingston. Vice seems to be in the habit of not telling the truth.

I wonder if he thought to ask Fat Leonard about which nation's government he was working for. You don't set up honey traps using karaoke machines in suites just for grins. That one admission was very telling. I'd bet if one followed the trail, and going by where he's from, it will lead back to the CCP, eventually as they are famous for doing this very thing, and they run operations in all of those nations which were once tied to the war in Vietnam in several ways. Singapore is where many of the wealthy Chinese, who are party members, went to launder and hide their money as well. Leonard's "rise to prominence paralleled the maritime competition between the U.S. and China in the vicinity of the South China Sea in the early 2000s. The U.S. Pacific Fleet was on a campaign to put ships into places that they had never visited before and had to negotiate port visits to meet U.S. Navy standards for services." (Source: USNI News)

When Kiriakou made the claim, that the CIA did not know how to interrogate a subject, which they teach, and how to counter it, I knew that he was blowing hot air. To claim that they needed the FBI to do it is pure BS.

***** The torrent website, Pirate Bay, was there at one time under another ISP, and still exists, but I don't know what ISP carries them now. The US tried to bully them over copyright infringement, and they finally did somewhat succeed, but not after a lengthy court battle. It was the ISPs, who were hosting Pirate Bay that they went after. "Several other torrent related sites including EZTV, Zoink, Torrage and the Istole tracker were also shut down in addition to The Pirate Bay's forum Suprbay.org. "On 19 May 2015, the .se domain of The Pirate Bay was ordered to be seized following a ruling by a Swedish court.[36][37] The site reacted by adding six new domains in its place.[38][39] The judgment was appealed on 26 May 2015.[40] On 12 May 2016 the appeal was struck down and the Court ruled the domains be turned over to the Swedish state.[41][42] The site returned to using its original .org domain in May 2016." also, http://www.thelocal.se/20151127/swedish-court-we-cannot-ban-pirate-bay

@vanseventy Before 2004, it was a US company, but that was sold off to the Canadian company. I thought it disingenuous of them to claim it was still a US company, when it's not, and hasn't been since 2004. There's also some dirty dealing with these later companies, and they had ties to the Russian mob via Marc Rich (Glencore), who Clinton pardoned. Rich was born in Belgium, had multiple citizenships, and he fled the US for years. He supposedly died in 2013, the same year that Xstrata (which owned Noranda) was fully acquired by Glencore, his old company. Rich was prosecuted by Rudolph Giuliani.

@vanseventy The shame of it all is, that it's always about money, and there are some in the elite class that have zero morals, much like Rich and his lot that he was associated with. Some in Jamaica have to be profiting handsomely from this, and the people are not seeing the benefit. Of course, the island is still tied to the UK as well. I believe Rich fled the US by the mid 80s, and stayed in Switzerland and Spain. He was even in Jamaica for awhile, and was almost caught. At the time, when Giuliani went after him, it was the largest fraud and selling oil from a rogue nation case in US history. Glencore still had to pay out multi-millions in fines. Plus, Jamaica still has their Russian problem, and it's tied to Bauxite investment.

Here you go, Warren, words to live by. William J. H. Boetcker, the The Ten Cannots from 1916: You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help little men by tearing down big men. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by destroying men's initiative and independence. And you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.

More layoffs at Vice to come.
