Anyone read this about Marc Emery

I found this on cannabisculture.com...

Here is what I have posted at Myspace in www.myspace.com/prince_of_pot_marc_emery

A few points first. The DEA has had no impact on our financial viability. I encounter adversity frequently and I dare say the arson attempt on the BCMP Headquarters did more damage. Nonetheless we persevered through that difficult time and all difficult times. The DEA is dead-serious about me, OK? This is no Steve Kubby, Steve Tuck, Renee Boje thing where everyone exagerrates their fate if they get sent to the US. I have been called the greatest marijuana producer of all time by the people that sent Weldon Angelos away for 55 years for one ounce and a gun under his car seat. Hello, I'm almost 50 and the average life expectancy in a US prison is 68 years old. My sentence will begin , repeat begin, at 21 years for a Continuing Criminal Enterprise, and then being a drug kingpin, and then 10 years more for money laundering. Understand, they say I'm the greatest marijuana producer of all time. Now in the BUSH USA today, do you really think that translates into disinterest?

Heres what I put in myspace...

 EXTRADITION HEARING DATE MAY 28 - JUNE 1st, 2007 
In what is scheduled to be a 5 day hearing in BC Supreme Court, Marc Emery, Michelle Rainey and Greg Williams will begin the USA EXTRADITION hearing that seeks to take them into the US federal prison system. Emery is looking at sentencing that includes life without parole or worse, as the DEA on CNN's LOU DOBBS claimed Emery was the largest marijuana producer perhaps of all time because of his seed distribution activities. "We believe he is responsible for over 100,000 pounds of marijuana for every year he was in business." Eleven years in the seed business times 100,000 pounds is 1.1 million pounds, worth conservatively $2.5 BILLION US. If its true, I'm proud of bringing such wealth to our community, and using the money that was sent for those seeds to thwart the US government in elections, conferences, activities around the globe. And remarks like the previous sentence will guarantee that I get the highest sentence possible in a US federal court, since I am proud of my activities, wish I did even more, am in no way repentent. 
My lawyer, who is a very good extradition lawyer though very overbooked and overworked, has received very little money, and If I were to ask people any one thing it would be to send my lawyer a check or money order for $25 or $50 to Ian Donaldson, In Trust, Donalson- Jette, 490 - 1090 Homer St., Vancouver, B.C., Canada V6B 2W9. You can make any donation out to " Ian Donaldson In Trust(Marc Emery)". 
Nonetheless, great as he is, he says I'm 98% doomed. Even though I'm a nice guy who hasn't hurt anyone and there are no victims here, the law is not in my favor. So my time is now going through the hourglass.... 
The process works like this, the hearing lasts for a week. The judge comes back with a "Committal" or "Refusal". If it comes back to Commit, then I and everyone who supports me has to lobby the Canadian Jusdtice Minister to NOT DO IT. He has that power. There are many great reasons why he should agree with you, but he will need to be overwhelmed with letters and calls urging him to refuse extradition. A verdict from the Extradition Hearing would come back in July or August 2007. Then the political phase of influencing Canada's Justice Minister to refuse the extradition begins. But he could decide immediately, as I'm sure he will and can order me surrendered by September - November 2007. Then I can appeal that decision to the BC Court of Appeal. If I lose there, it is pretty well over. That process would take us to November 2008, the month of the US elections. A Canadian election will happen by then also. Alberto Gonzales, the BUSH appointed Attorney-General has made me a special target, and the prosecutions are being supervised by the Western Washington District Attorney John McKay, another hardline Bush appointee. A change in US President or Attorney-General could be very influential to my outcome. A change in the Canadian government is less likely to produce a change because both the current Conservative government and previous Liberal government want me sent to a US Gulag.
