Alas, with all of the progressive tutelage I received in the university system; not one of my professors ever mentioned that John D. Rockefeller saved the whales. I had to learn that interesting tidbit from Stefan Molyneux.

Of course I am not convinced that Rockefeller saved the whales intentionally. No one to my knowledge has made such a claim. He saved the whales because he had kerosene; he was able to sell it for less than using whale blubber to light a lamp, thus saving the whales.

I know, I know...this pinche cabron; what does this pinche john d. rockefeller saving the whales have to do with dank? Dank is a victim of market abuse. It is a victim of crony capitalism at its worst. And all earthly inhabitants have suffered as a result. Including those pinche whales.

The saddest and most alarming part of this whole debacle is that it has yet to be rectified. We are still trapped in ice. It is a deception that has caged us for generations, both literally and figuratively. It continues to assault our productivity, and our capacity for transformative implementations.

But wait cabron...wasn't it the corporate fat-cats that don't eat their plankton that caused dank prohibition? Yes that is part of the equation. There is no question that newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst was threatened by advances in paper production using hemp pulp because of his financial interest in timber. The other part of the equation, was the instrument used in aiding Hearst in protecting his timber profits.

Call them big brother, call them uncle sam, call them government, the state or the man. I just like to call them another monopoly in this corporatocracy scam. The monopoly government claims to possess, is that of force or enforcement. And in the case of dank, not only did government come through for their ol' buddy Hearst, but they were able to create a whole new department to combat the scourge of “black jazz musicians” & “psychotic messicans.” “WHERE DA WHITE WOMEN AT?”

And the whole fucking thing has just snowballed. Not only do we have government/corporate collusion to thank for deforestation, and a prison population that has about 1 out of every 30 adults incarcerated; no we must also thank them for the swirling plastic garbage island larger than Texas in the Pacific. How much is the rent? We must also be thankful for endless wars against brown people for black goo. And let us also not forget to be thankful for an ever-expanding militarized police state were innocent people and dogs are rountinely being killed by trigger-happy meatheads.

John D. Rockefeller didn't save the whales because he wanted to, or because he cried to his nanny or big brother to solve the problem. He saved the whales because no one interferred with his ingenuity. Are there consequences to innovation? Absolutely. Do we need one group of people with the most guns to point them at another group in order to mitigate those consequences? Absolutely not. The free market is the answer for Dank.
