ALASKA TV REPORTER RESIGNS ON AIR TO FIGHT FOR MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION
23092014Alaska Dispatch News reader Greene said
“Now everything you’ve heard is why I, the actual owner of the Alaska Cannabis Club, will be dedicating all of my energy toward fighting for freedom and fairness, which begins with legalizing marijuana here in Alaska,” she said. “And as for this job, well, not that I have a choice but, fuck it, I quit.”
Greene soon after told the Alaska Dispatch News that KTVA was unaware of her role with the Cannabis Club or her plans to part ways with the network, and an NBC News-affiliate has since confirmed that state records show the organization is owned by Charlene Egbe — Greene’s legal name. KTVA apologized after the incident on Facebook “for the inappropriate language” and said Greene, who had been quite clear about quitting, has been terminated.
“If I offended anyone, I apologize,” Greene told ADN, “but I’m not sorry for the choice that I made.”
As footage of the incident began to circulate around the web, the Alaska Cannabis Club’s social media accounts soon directed followers to a video featuring the now-former news anchor further explaining her reasoning for resigning.
“Nearly a century of marijuana prohibition and stigma has stained America, the land of the free and the home of the brave. But we have a chance to start taking back the right,” Greene says in the clip.
“Advocating for freedom and fairness should be everyone’s duty. I’m making it my life work to uphold what America stands for truly: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness — ideals that now need to be defended,” Greene continues. “But I can’t do this alone. I need you in the very least to start the conversation. Talk to a friend, a mother, a co-worker, brother, anyone. Just share your own ‘My Marijuana’ story. Show them that we smokers are responsible, contributing members to society.”
“Changing one heart and mind at a time is the only way to legalize marijuana and bask in lady liberty’s glory,” Greene says before formally offering her endorsement of Ballot Measure 2— a law up for vote on November 4 that, if successful, will allow adults in Alaska to possess, grow and sell weed without requiring a medical script as currently state rules specify.
“The proposed initiative will take marijuana sales out of the underground market and put them in legitimate, taxpaying businesses,” Tim Hinterberger, a sponsor of the bill and a developmental biology professor at the University of Alaska, previously told the Huffington Post. “Replacing marijuana prohibition with a system of taxation and sensible regulation will bolster Alaska’s economy by creating jobs and generating revenue for the state.”
If Alaskans vote ‘yes’ on Ballot 2 — an effort that Greene says is a “a vote for liberty, freedom and fairness” — then the state will become the third in the US after Colorado and Washington to allow adults to legally purchase and possess restricted amounts of marijuana for recreational purposes. Federally speaking, however, pot sale and cultivation remains illegal. RT news

Conspiracy exposed – Victim was unaware that her FIR included Mayank Gandhi

Conspiracy exposed – Victim was unaware that her FIR included Mayank Gandhi
In shocking developments it has come to light that some conspirators used a hapless victim to falsely accuse Mayank Gandhi and others from Aam Aadmi Party of totally baseless charges. It is becoming clear that those unable to fight fair political battles resort to slander and defamation to malign AAP leaders, Alka Lamba and Mayank Gandhi have been victimized through totally false and spurious charges.
In Mayank Gandhi’s case the complainant was totally unaware that his name was being mentioned as accused. She is a young lady AAP volunteer who was encouraged to file a police complaint by a certain group of people led by Sunil Shukla (they were AAP members but quit AAP on 18 September 2014). They did not tell the lady they quit AAP and took her on 19 September to file the complaint. She accused one Tarun Singh of harassment and mentioned in her statement that the moment she brought the matter to Mayank Gandhi he suspended the youth and initiated an inquiry.
The lady was totally unaware of how complaints are filed, never having visited a police station in her life. The conspirators assured her they knew the process. It took more than six hours for the police to record her statement and she was getting very late. The conspirators along with police made the poor lady sign blank FIR forms and assured her she could leave! She left without any copy of her statement or FIR.
In her absence they twisted her statement and added the names of AAP national leader Mayank Gandhi, AAP state leader Ruben Masacarenhas and AAP volunteer Vinay Mishra. The victim was shocked when she learned through social media that she has made a complaint against Mayank Gandhi and totally denied it – “I have made no complaint against Mayank Gandhi, Ruben Mascarenhas, and Vinay Mishra not of molestation, not of harassment, nor intimidation.”
She approached the seniors in the party and explained how she was misled totally and was distraught that she was being blamed for maligning the name of Mayank Gandhi. She asked party seniors to help her clarify her true position and they advised her to visit the Commissioner of Police and state the facts as she knew them. Today at noon she met the Joint Commissioner Law and Order and her statement is attached. AAP Maharashtra stands vindicated that no complaint whatsoever was filed by the complainant against Mayank Gandhi, Ruben Mascarenhas or Vinay Mishra.
Being fully seized of the matter now, AAP Maharashtra is remorseful that we thought that the complainant made false allegations but that was what appeared in the FIR page 1 which was widely circulated by the conspirators. We understand now that the young lady was used most shamelessly by the conspirators and AAP will ensure she faces no more harassment. We will fight for justice for her and we will take strong action against anyone who attempts to malign her. We request all the media to ensure that her identity is not exposed under any circumstances.
Enclosed: The copy of Complainant Statement to Commissioner of Police, Mumbai.
Regards,
AAP Media Cell
