WWW, October 2011 - Reefer madness in the Netherlands continues as the right-wing minority coalition of the country announced it will label Cannabis products with a THC level higher than 15% as "hard drugs".
The controversial decision has been made without parliamental approval and is already in effect.
The decree is part of a government crack-down on the legendary Dutch tolerance policy towards Cannabis and will affect Coffee Shops and it's owners.
Secretary of "security and justice" Ivo Opstelten announced that police will raid coffee shops in search of the so-called "hard drugs".
Should Cannabis with a THC level above 15% be found, coffee shop owners will be persecuted as hard drug dealers.

Babylon Observer Video Report: Reefer Madness in the Netherlands 2011
REEFER MADNESS IN THE NETHERLANDS 2011
FAR RIGHT-WING ADMINISTRATION CONSIDERING PUTTING STRONG WEED ON HARD DRUGS LIST
WWW, June 24 2011 - A commission to advice the Dutch administration concerning the nation's drugs policy claims that cannabis with over 15% THC should be considered hard drugs in Dutch criminal law.
In interviews with Dutch public TV, the ministers of Health and Justice respond positively as they enter the parliament building to officially receive the advice from the commission.
When the advice is brought into law, this would bring the Netherlands back to the days of Reefer Madness as the world famous Dutch tolerance policy towards Cannabis would de facto end.

Babylon Observer Video Report: The DEA And The Dutch
WWW, February 2011 - According to documents recently released by Wikileaks, the American DEA is conducting what they call "controlled drugs deliveries" within the country of the Netherlands. The Americans do this without official permission, which they call "unofficial" but could better be called "illegal". The Babylon Observer watches an item from Dutch public TV and in accordance with Fair Use laws, shares his observation...
In the leaked documents, the American ambassador in the Netherlands is complaining how the Dutch Justice department does not want to go into official DEA requests to conduct these "controlled deliveries of drugs". Apparently things changed in the end of 2005, because in the first half of 2006, there were already six of such deliveries conducted on Dutch soil and with cooperation of the Dutch police.
What changed?
A political situation, perhaps... Or something more sinister...
However, the Wikileaks show that the Americans are now very pleased because they found a way to bypass the Dutch Justice department by conducting so-called "police to police information", that is: information from one police unit to another.
As a professor in criminology, very much esteemed in the Netherlands, this is either done illegally by the police who doesn't inform the justice department or it is done illegally by the Justice department itself, because no official request is done in either case.

Babylon Observer Video Report: Remembering the Message of Martin Luther King, 2011
WWW, January 2011 - A day after the official Martin Luther King Day on January 17, two years after the election of Barak Obama, the black community within the USA knows themselves to be on top of many lists concerning poverty, unemployment and negative profiling.
Where Martin Luther King expressed his hope for a nation that would "live up to their creed that all man are created equal", he was not far from his assasination. More than 40 years later, many black people who voted for Barak Obama know themselves in a nation that still does not live up to it's creed.
The Babylon Observer remembers and observes the current runnings, and reports...

Babylon Observer Video Report: Iraq's Poorest Make Junkyards Their Home
CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO DOWNLOAD PAGE
WWW, January 2011 - In spite of billions of American "reparation" money supposedly aimed at "reconstructing" Iraq, about 25% of Iraq's population lives under the poverty limit.
People have to flee their houses because of sectarian violence that came with the invasion of Iraq and make the junkyards their new homes. Little children pick up trash instead of going to school, there is no running water and absolutely no medical care.

Babylon Observer Video Report: Greece, Arms Before People
WWW, December 2010 - As the European Union forces the country of Greece into cutting all kind of spendings, these very same leaders will also force the country into buying all kinds of stuff for the military.
One billion Euro's in cuts, two billion of Euro's into a couple of war ships from France. That is just one of the ways in which the country is being plundered by the global organizations.
