Then came World War II. The Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor shut off foreign supplies of "Manila hemp" fiber from the
Philippines. The USDA produced a film called Hemp For Victory to encourage
US farmers to grow hemp for the war effort. The US government formed War
Hemp Industries and subsidized hemp cultivation. During the War and US
farmers grew about a million acres of hemp across the Midwest as part of
that program.
After the war ended, the government quietly
shut down all the hemp processing plants and the industry faded away again.
During the period from 1937 to the late 60's
the US government understood and acknowledged that Industrial Hemp and
marijuana were distinct varieties of the cannabis plant. Hemp is no longer
recognized as distinct from marijuana since the passage of the Controlled
Substances Act (CSA) of 1970. This is despite the fact that a specific
exemption for hemp was included in the CSA under the definition of
marijuana.
The United States government has published
numerous reports and other documents on hemp dating back to the beginnings
of our country. Below is a list of some of the documents that have been
discovered:

END
There
is plenty of arable land in the world. The problem is not too many people;
but rather, oppressive governments that interfere with capitalism, free
trade and freedom. Life finds a way. People, if left alone, will work hard
and thrive. But when oppressive and greedy governments lay heavy tax
burdens, regulate, restrict and outlaw farming and freedom of travel, then
there is chaos.
Urbanization has destroy the
world. When you cram millions of people into a city, then things can get
ugly very quickly. Urbanization (herding people into cities) has caused
massive problems in the world. The elite are suppressing food and water to
the poor around the world. The World Bank has bankrupt nations, cutting off
their resources.
NAFTA and globalization have hurt
the population. Paying farmers not to grow crops is the problem. Tampering
with the world's economy is the problem. Artificially incurred FIAT debt in
the problem. Big government isn't real free market. That's the problem.
Overpopulation is a joke. When you view the earth from outer space, it is
clearly evident that there is PLENTY of space on the earth for humanity.
There is plenty of land, plenty of
miracle crops such as hemp, and the will to
survive. The problem is criminal government tyranny that pays farmers not to
grow food, tampers with economies, creates systems of wealth that are
worthless (such as America's FIAT money system), regulates the number of
children you can have, et cetera. China suffers from entire cities void of
women due to the government's horrible one-child policy. The answer is
freedom; not more government control, killing the population and forcing
people to pay more and more taxes.
If you do the math, everyone in
the world could fit within the State if Texas, having a space of land
approximately 30' by 30'. There's plenty of land. The problem is greed, lust
for power and oppression. The ocean by itself has enough food to feed the
population. Help is an incredible crop that could easily feed the world,
provide clothing, biofuel, building materials, paper products, et cetera.
The first paid of Blue Jeans in America were made of hemp. The U.S.
Constitution was written on hemp. George Washington grew hemp. Hemp oil is a
great diesel fuel. Hemp has 25,000 known uses! Hemp can withstand frigid
weather, drought, and yields twice as much fiber as the same amount of
cotton.
Given their freedom, taught
agricultural techniques and provided with the basic means to get started,
world starvation would come to an end soon. There's not too many people;
there's too much government.
Piles of wheat sit and rot while the poor starve. The Globalists have
wrecked the third world, putting them on welfare, turning them against the
domestic population, and waging war against the middle-class. They then
disarm the public. Ultimately, the central banks profit and win by exerting
pressure from below and above on the middle-class. It's all by design! The
Globalists want to achieve a Godless Global
Totalitarian Communist Police State, aka, the New World Order. To do
this they must enslave humanity. Thus, the fraud of overpopulation is being
used to fuel tyranny, sterilization, forced abortion, et cetera.

2) Presidents Washington and Jefferson both grew hemp. Americans were legally bound to grow hemp during the Colonial Era and Early Republic. The federal government subsidized hemp during the Second World War and US farmers grew about a million acres of hemp as part of that program.
