Hemp – The Demonization and Media Murder of the Wonder Plant Read more at http://endthelie.com/2011/
"We hear so much about the climate change and the environment from the media and elitists who tell us how and why we must cut back on our carbon footprint whilst they fly around to exotic locations for ‘climate’ conferences in their private jets. What they don’t talk about at these meetings or in the media in general, is the FACT that there exists a plant which could solve many of the problems which they tell us we face today with potentially ‘catastrophic’ consequences.
In 1937, Dupont patented the processes to produce plastics from oil and coal. Dupont’s Annual Report then urged stockholders to invest in its new petrochemical division. Synthetics such as plastics, cellophane, celluloid, methanol, nylon, rayon, Dacron, etc., could now be made from oil.
At this time, the industrialisation of natural hemp would have ruined over 80% of Dupont’s business. Therefore it was important to corporations such as Dupont to demonize the Hemp plant. This was done in the mid 1930s where the word ‘marijuana’ was used for this purpose to portray natural hemp as an illicit drug. The word ‘marijuana’ was created to tarnish the good image of the hemp plant.
Not long after a media blitz of ‘journalistic demonization ‘ raged in the late 1920s and 1930s to further sabotage any hopes of natural hemp industrialisation. Hearst’s newspapers ran stories emphasizing the horrors of marijuana and films like ‘Reefer Madness’ (1936), ‘Marijuana: Assassin of Youth’ (1935) and ‘Marijuana: The Devil’s Weed’ (1936) were propagandist hit pieces, designed by industrialists, to create an enemy to their oil based industrial monopoly.
