Note from the Editor:
Producers… almost; after having wild success as a dealer of things that made people feel better, and having enjoyed almost nonstop parties because of it, I started looking into what it would take to go beyond just being one of the many middlemen in this industry. Becoming a producer, not just a distributor, of ‘controlled substances’… requires a lot of science and resourcefulness, and eventually can become as expensive as it is for the mainstream drug-producing companies; you need a laboratory, skilled labor, other staff, a lawyer or two, a factory or warehouse, an office, a safe house or two, storage units, delivery trucks, loyal drivers, and more.
Thankfully, as was the case with religious groups, academies, colleges, universities, standard relationships, and military units, I didn’t get caught up in a long-term business venture; I dove head-first into the experience and research, learned a ton more than the average person, and got back out. What I learned about drug production is how drugs are made, what their chemical component names are, where many types of drugs get made, which legislation regulates some of them, and how seriously both the street (cartel) and mainstream (corporation) sides of this industry take it all. Overall, I learned that it is dangerous at best, even if you have the highest standards and morals; even if, miraculously, no competitors (which are usually the legal/ized ones) notice and find some way to attack you, sabotaging everything, and throwing you under the proverbial bus, you still run the risk of your product getting into the hands of a moody retard just looking to overdose or come close. The saying in the military is, “You can’t fix stupid.”
What an exciting and educational way producing would have been to fund some of the zero-pollution city (Inisfree) project! Alas, …it was not meant to be. The people helping me learn all I needed to know about drug production parted ways. Perhaps they were as wisely nervous about this almost-venture as I was.

Poking Fun at Fake News:
The (latest) global financial crises has begun. It isn’t really a crisis, though; it is another in a long line of engineered mass-financial events. It will pass, just as all things do, but not until it mops the floor with entire governments, peoples, and regions.
What is really going on; what is behind it all? The money isn’t going to ‘bail out’ the banks; that much is sure. (And even if it did, they’d still be the same businesses, in the same system, that got us into this mess in the first place.) No, all those billions and trillions of dollars… are going far beyond the banks.
