Community Gardens a Step Towards Self-Reliance
There is something about growing the food we eat that is basic, pure, simple, healthy, and wholesome. With a little natural knowledge, good seeds, sun, rain, soil (provided), and some enjoyable manual labor we could cut our grocery bills by more than half, and with canning skills we could eliminate it entirely. All the while eating food as it was meant to be, grown naturally, fresh, full of nutrients, instead of the factory-made frankenfoods that
A New Pledge . . .
Nearly all of us, at least in America, went through an indoctrination early in our public school careers. We each recited the Pledge of Allegiance around 1000 times, first thing in the morning, did it without thinking, in the perfect environment for subliminal programming. The public school system, run by the government, thus created an army of patriotic youth, and when they reached draft age, they went dutifully to war. Such a simple method to create soldiers.
Living Daylights Time
As we turn our clocks ahead, we might also ponder the not-impossible prospects of major disasters on this side of the Pacific, and how we might alter our daily routine to enable a better chance of more easily enduring it. Parts of the United States sit in three major fault zones that have in the past produced earthquakes comparable to the great earthquake in Japan last week. The Cascadia subduction zone in the northwest last
Time to Get Mad As Hell
During the 30-some years since the classic movie Network was released, there has been a steady, almost imperceptible creeping erosion of our democracy during which our government has been consumed by corporate interests controlled by the wealthiest men in the world. We have mutated from a democracy into a plutocracy, an oligarchy wherein governance has been hijacked from “the people” and controlled, dominated by policies favoring the very-rich, the already powerful, and the soulless mega-corporations
A Thoughtful Assessment of Our Times . . .
Don’t know who the author is, or I’d give attribution. But a thoughtful assessment of our times: “I honestly believe that nothing will be accomplished in the way of national stability and recovery until we tackle the fundamental flaws of our current economic system. Politics, and everything emanating from it, is really just an extension of economics. In other words, economics is at the heart of nearly every socio-political diagnosis, prognosis, and proposed treatment. With
An Anonymous Bit of Wisdom
I found this on a “lunatic fringe” forum I frequent. I would give attribution but the post was anonymous. In any case, I found it worthy of repeating here. “All Members, I am not a regular on this site, but I recognize many earnest souls on here searching for truth. It is uplifting to realize this powerful and organic counterweight to the demonic cabal will always be here. For those of you overwhelmed with this
The Great Fraud and Collapse
Those who have been paying attention, and who get their news from non-mainstream sources will immediately know what I’m talking about. The Great Fraud is about to be consumed by its own greed and the collapse of the financial paradigm that has been in place since 1913 is imminent. This will affect everything and everyone and our way of life will never be the same. Pensions, IRAs, 401Ks–gone. Bank runs and holidays–the dominos will topple into every corner of
