Vet Goes on Hunger Strike After the State Took His Kids for Him Legally Using Cannabis for PTSDBy Matt Agorist Because Schwab is legally using medicinal cannabis in Colorado, officials in prohibitionist Kansas have abducted five of his children, ranging from 5 to 16 years of age. In an email to The Free Thought Project, Schwab tells us that he has begun a hunger strike until his children are returned. The strike began Monday and, according to Schwab, will continue until he is reunited with his children. In a letter to Kansas Governor Sam Brownback, Schwab writes: Now, realizing Riley County Courts do not care about their oath of office, nor the Constitution or the law I will be on a hunger strike at the State Capitol until my children are returned, a Federal lawsuit or injunction is filed against you or those who have committed this crime are indicted. Some have said your State will not care, and they will let me starve to death. If that happens it will be on your doorstep, and my blood will be on your hands. Give me my children. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Jesus Ms. Brownback said recently that Kansas DCF and foster care should be a model for the nation. God help us all if that ever becomes a reality. As Veterans for Medical Cannabis Access points out, medical cannabis is an effective treatment for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), where other drugs fail. Veterans are successfully treating themselves despite the federal governments prohibition. The ransom demanded by the Kansas child protection bureaucracy is a promise that Schwab will refrain from using cannabis, and four months of clean urinalysis test results. Theyre basically using my kids as a pawn to take away freedoms I fought for, Schwab explained to the Denver Post. Its a horrible position to put me in. Last April, a child abuse investigation cleared Schwab of harming his children in any way. Yet a judge has ruled that the children will remain in state control until Schwab and his wife foreswear any further legal use of cannabis. Despite admitting that they have no grounds to keep the children because the charges are unsubstantiated, the DCF continues to hold their children hostage. In a statement to the Topeka Capital-Journal, a DCF spokesperson confirmed that they need no evidence to kidnap a familys children. Determining whether an allegation is true is separate from a recommendation to remove children from the home, said Theresa Freed, communications director for DCF. Though an unsubstantiated finding that doesnt lead to a parent getting their child back may be confusing, Freed said, substantiated findings account for only 4 percent of the removals the agency handles. The DCFs declaration that 96 percent of all children they have kidnapped are being held on unsubstantiated charges is chilling and a testament to the arbitrary nature of their motives. To make matters worse, the Schwabs 13-year-old son has been institutionalized against the familys will. He is now being held in a state facility where he is being given psychotropic drugs and is expected to remain there for up to 60 days. The DCF has attempted to smear the family in the media by claiming that they are holding more information that can implicate the Schwabs in abuse and claim the if Raymond would allow them to go public, the world would know. However, the Schwabs have repeatedly tried to view the documents themselves but they have not been allowed. In response to the DCF allegations, the Schwabs released a statement that read in part: My wife and I are thankful that DCF is so committed to releasing the truth as we are. We also agree that there needs to be a level of privacy and safety for children concerning sensitive issues such as child abuse. I have released to the Topeka Capital Journal the findings from DCF that ALL allegations were unsubstantiated against us. Since DCF, District Attorney Barry Wilkerson, and Judge Bosch refuse to give me ALL documents pertaining to our case, even though I am representing myself, I cannot say what DCF claims we are hiding. We have never said this case is about Cannabis alone. It was based on false allegations of abuse, which the DCF report said were unsubstantiated, then told us that lack of substantiation meant nothing and we had to stop our legal Cannabis Therapy in our home State in order to even visit or get our children back. This we have done as we currently have visited our children after submitting clean UAs. So this is about Cannabis. When I confronted Governor Brownback today and begged for my children back he stated that since the allegations were unsubstantiated we would get our children back. When I informed him that finding was issued in July of 2015 he said he could not control the courts and walked away. DCF claim my children are safer in their care, but they have been abused with multiple hotline report of sexual and physical abuse filed while in DCF custody. They are hiding the actual reports from us while telling us on the phone it did happen but they cannot give me details. Raymonds hunger strike started on the 14th and the state has yet to respond. In what world is it considered acceptable to kidnap a familys children, split them up, medicate them against their will, and allow them to be physically and sexually abused to protect them from their parents whove done none of these things? Former Gubernatorial candidate Jennifer Winn is on the side of the Schwab family and responded to their case in a statement on her Facebook page Wednesday. I am now the official power of attorney over Raymond and Amelia Schwabs children. I am hereby giving public notice to Governor Brownback, DCF, St. Francis, Judge Bosch and Pathway Family Services located at 4101 SW Martin Drive. Suite B. Topeka, Kansas 66609 you do NOT have the authority to medicate Raymond and Amelia Schwabs 13 year old son Caleb Karl Schwab DOB-07-16-03 under any circumstance with mind altering drugs. Should you continue to force feed this child any mind altering medication, your company and ANY personnel performing this task will be in violation of my consent and you will be held accountable in a court of law. Brownbacks number 785-296-3232 Posted by Jennifer Winn for Kansas on Tuesday, March 15, 2016 On Sunday, Raymond told The Free Thought Project that the records will be released to Jennifer Winn. They said we are lying and if we signed a release to any citizen they would open the records to them. We signed a release to former gubernatorial candidate Jennifer Winn and will be going into DCF at 1:00 pm and hold a press conference after so she can report her findings. I stated to the press if she said we were lying I would stop the hunger strike. The family has started a Facebook page to keep their supporters up to date. You can visit the Free the Schwab Children Facebook page here. Then you can contact everyone involved who continues to keep this family apart and peacefully let them know that what they are doing is wrong.

They must feel pretty secure about themselves taking this action. Of course they do. What is anyone gonna do? Nothing! That is what emboldens them: we are too cowardly and smitten to do anything resembling fighting back for human dignity sake. Brownback: Exactly, where every yellow brick road leads to, just dont look at the ones behind the curtain If you dont yet get the big picture, well, perhaps youll have to wait for the Tribal pedophiles to remove your children for safe-keeping before you get that this is a demon-stration of the Cabalian nation upon every station, all bought and souled, from the judges to the mindless jungle lore enforcement zombies, how do you think they can afford those shiny new Humvees. Another worthless top down agency nwo driven pedophiles organs for sale? I have complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder CPTSD. My medical marijuana edible (cookie) surprised me and has become a MIRACLE CURE. It alleviated all my symptoms within a half an hour. Allowed me to function in a relatively normal way. It is the most amazing cure Ive ever had and Ive tried almost everything. I didnt get high, as it had very low THC levels but more canabanoids. Combined with Talk therapy this is an unbelievable treatment. Why its not legal and easily accessible to everyone is beyond me? Stories like those above just disgust me. This is just another reason added to the very long list as to why the entire world hates the United States. I had no idea that another word is attached to PTSDreminds me of George Carlins breakdownfrom Shell Shock_ CPTSD?politically correction marching down the roaddont get me wrongIve suffered from PTSD since I was raped by a male babysitter at 4 yrs old, multiple times, that went on to become a priestgo figure + I was horrifically abused physically /mentally by a narcissist psychopath father unrelentingly, until I escaped at 15yrs oldit wasnt until I couldnt stop drinking coupled with bad behaviors, that I knew something was up suffice to say it followed me around for 50yrs until I had a complete nervous breakdown discombobulationdid the research quit drinking as soon as Id diagnosed myselfno help from the white witch doctors YES marijuana helps me tremendouslyWhat these neo-Nazis are doing to this poor man is unbeeeleeevably despicableall for $$$ Kontrol of the BIG pHARMaceutical allopathic LIEptsd is ptsd no matter where you trauma came from should be treated with cannabinoids that actually DELIVER + lots of love if you can eventually Love yourselfjust getting out of a chair the mental pain attached takes hours sometimes believe me I knowgood luck Truth bomb There is no money to be made from you and me being well. I believe there is a cure for every single disease in the world; but you will never know about it. Those who find cures end up dead or go missing. Remember that the next time you donate to your fav cancer research foundation in which the directors pay themselves huge salaries! Research Pink Ribbon, because they are laughing at us. Free money! There is not enough money in cancer cures, obviously, since cures have been known for about a century. NO, the money is in ineffectual, hyper-expensive TREATMENT and eventual death. Talk about your mind-numbing HOLOCAUST. Will, are we all so afraid that we cant all stand up and defend ourselves from the horrors being inflicted on us? We are as good as dead anyway. What are people so scared of? Death? We are all going to meet on the banks of River Styx at some point; why not be sure its on OUR terms? What should we do to those who steal our children? Please be honest, because your answer will define you as a person and what you are prepared to do. Dont be afraid either At the very least, they should be segregated from society for the rest of their days where they can do no more harm. We can argue about the nature of the segregation imprisonment, death, penal colony, etc. but clearly they must never be allowed to return to society in any form whatsoever! Governor Brownback @GovBrownback !! Is this how you treat injured veterans and their families!? Thanks selfnews Post for covering this important storythousands of non offending parents lose their children to abuse of the so call child welfare system in this country. The evil agency that kidnapped those children should be in prison! The drug war is illegal and everyone who supports or enforces it is a treasonous criminal that belongs at the end of a rope! In addition, the evil government knew that marijuana cured cancer in 1974 and withheld it from the public. They also should hang for treason. How is this man his wife and children doing? Are they okay? Does he have his children back yet? Hope you stay on this story of how Kansas treats its injured veterans
