On December 15th 2004, the European parliament approved a set of recommendations, known as the 'Catania Report', for the new EU strategy to deal with the 'drug problem'. This report is in favour of an alternative to the dominant approaches to drug policy. Instead of maintaining a system based on drug prohibition, the 'Catania report' calls for policies consistent with the broad approach known as "harm reduction" to be adopted across the whole of Europe. The new EU strategy will be adopted in June 2005 - it is vital that it takes into account the recommendations of the 'Catania report'.

ENCOD proposes that citizens all over Europe express themselves, in order to make the people in charge of our democratic institutions aware that the "war on drugs" must end. We invite all citizens to sign the petition in support of the Catania report.

READ AND SIGN PETITION

Lately I am accused sometimes of having anti-American and/or anti-Christian sentiments. Well, I can imagine where that's coming from but this is not a correct reflexion of my sentiments at all. Truth is I don't give a rat's ass about people's race, nationality, religion, color of their hair, eyes, underwear or whatever. What I do care about is mine, and the people I love and respects Human Rights and I happen to be someone who's not going to shut up if I see those rights being blatantly violated only to please a certain group in our population.

At present times the world is witnessing a shift in the American politics from a democratic ruled nation into a fascist police state. This shift is not only visible in their own national laws, they have introduced laws that totally violate the human rights of their own citizens, like the patriot act I and II and loads of presidential mandates that would have made Hitler drool and Goebbels turn red from envy and at the same time they have started a media and physical war against everything and everyone who does not share (read obey) their views.

"You are with us or you are against us" has slowly, since the first time the UberZealot of the USSA threatened the rest of the world, become "If you are not with us you are terrorists and therefore we are going to dump our nuclear waste on you in the form of DU warheads"

As many other humans on this planet I do not particularly like to be threatened and the present way of behavior of the American government is very disturbing, to say the least.

We also have this concentration camp torture thing going on which has become an integrated part of the American system that bothers me a little, I still remember my granddad and my father, who both survived similar camps during the second world war telling me that people and nations who maintain those kind of camps are criminals and criminal regimes. They also teached me about the Human Rights committee and the Geneva Convention. What bothers me is that the USA has been kicked out the Human rights committee and has withdraw itself from large parts of the Geneva Convention recently in order to get out of the influence of the international courts.

Now all this seems to have been done by an administration who's most influential advisor, according to official statements, made by UberZealot Himself, is a person named "GOD". No one has ever seen him but he seems to be the leader of the Christians. Now I have also understood that the present US administration depends on the support from the same Christians, without them they could not be in power.

maybe that's why people think I might have anti-American and anti-Christian sentiments. I rather call it pro human rights sentiments, I'm more of a positive thinking person myself.
