    Name that video. Here are three clues for you to guess the title of the video in question:
    1) The government censored any mention of this film from every public school and university history textbook to this day.
    2) It became public in 1990 after it was found in the Library of Congress.
    3) It ultimately made the D-Day invasion possible to liberate Europe and stop the Holocaust.

    Can you name that video?

    It's Hemp for Victory, made by the US Department of Agriculture in 1942 just 5 years after 'Marihuana' was outlawed.
    There is an official .gov link to the film from the US National Archives website.
    It became public in 1990 after it was discovered in the Library of Congress by Jack Herer when he wrote his book, The Emperor Wears No Clothes.
    The film teaches the history of Cannabis Sativa and showed American farmers how to grow legal 'Marihuana' to make equipment for the military such as rope for the Navy and boot laces and parachute harnesses for the Army.
    The $1 Special Tax Stamp that is shown 3 minutes into the film reads, "Producer of Marihuana." The US government almost entirely erased this film from existence in order to make 'Marihuana' illegal again and then wage the never-ending War on Drugs.

    I would set a house on fire & then sell extinguishers outside. Like, hey I noticed your fire when I drove by, and it just so happens I have a truck full of exactly what you need.

    for anyone who doesn't know…..
    There are safety companies that hire hot girls to drive around in vans selling fire extinguishers and other safety equipment to construction sites

    What relationship do helicopters have to Dunkirk? Invented about a year before, but certainly not a factor. But that was the only thing y'all mentioned in connection with that consultation?

    3:15 take your TED talk somewhere else and move on with the show before I vomit😂

    Crystal Shrek. 4:58 yeah I think I’ve met her down in Mississippi when she was still in her 60s. I was in my teens and someone that was close to my grandmother’s was on stage.😅. That was nothing by itself, but she looked like she had gotten hit by a couple of hurricanes directly. I never really thought about it until now, but I guess it was appropriate to have a stripper that had two windsock built in right outside of an Air Force Base where they fly.😂

    6:54 what are you doing because right now I don’t like babies😂. I’m gonna be side glancing at stroller on the way by wondering who they’re gonna grow up to be

    8:29 it seems appropriate that Nikki sold fire extinguishers and now has set her own career on fire by supporting Trump😂. I just thought about her doing a video with Megan, who is singing all about that base as Nikki shoots the fire extinguisher at her bottom. You shoot at the base of a fire and that’s why all of that got brought up.😅. Sorry this is probably more of a fantasy than a comment about the show.😂

    Pretty sure you don't walk around with sample extinguishers to sell them. At most you'd carry a binder to explain options and sign up purchasers for delivery of goods.

    christopher nolan using a helicopter pilot as a consultant in a battle with 0 helicopters explains so much about why his movies absolutely suck sweaty balls. It's easier to get these right than wrong, yet he never fails to get them wrong.

    "…stay up to the minute" on our latest videos. BUT YOU GUYS AREN'T, these are largely reruns – I love Hasan, but that was in the past… "Pardon me Roy, are these the cats that played your old shows?" to paraphrase a paraphrased pun…

    To Michael: The reason Lauren Sanchez has a better acting career than you is very simple. Not enough of the high-ranking people in Hollywood are flamingly gay, so they tend to think she's much prettier than you. (And some of the gay ones probably do, too.) (And they aren't all men.)

    Okay, I started this when posted after 2 minutes. Then I had to pause and go to work and come back.

    Then I started where YouTube bookmarked, and it's just what I needed after work, I'm restarting the video and watching again.

    Thank you, hignfy, you're what I need right now! 😂
