The film, which the late Cambridge historian Howard Zinn was “transfixed by,” explores the inextricable link between the energy we use, the way we run our economy, and the multiplying threats that now confront the environmental health and stability of our planet.<br /><br />mrs pAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900671458188709604.post-15051699561063262402010-06-23T12:07:30.167-07:002010-06-23T12:07:30.167-07:00"Free and open to the public"

The Grange in Silverton, OR. has issued a sort of manifesto supporting sustainability and localization and personal agriculture as the direction in which the National Grange should be headed. The National Grange has been captured by the more conventional corporate supporting agri-business types. This will prove to be an interesting struggle, in terms of changing paradigms.<br /> Z - You are in the Midwest, aren't you? It might be a tad late to plant from seed, but not out of the question. You also might consider buying some plants in little packs from a greenhouse that have already been started for you. I just planted some soybeans from seed yesterday, and some baby fennel and broccoli that we started a few weeks back in the greenhouse. It's been such a cold spring, we couldn't plant outside any earlier for a lot of things.

My theory is that anyone who has flirted with safe, non-taxed drugs, is aware of the WOD uber scam - this was the veil that lifted in front of me when I started to research it, it was also what turned me onto Mike Ruppert 10 years back. Most everyone I have come into contact with who cherishes the Herb is in the "awake" column, no wonder the PTB fear it. They've just very quietly brought in roadside testing in the UK. <br /><br />Back on Hugelkulture for a moment.

But, I've been listening in on the campfire pretty much every day, but, I haven't spewed anything of late because my brain is so full of doom and gloom, that it's hard to type the kind of crap I'm used to typing without hurling on my keyboard.<br /><br />Excellent posts, though, by the way. <br /><br />FA, the pinhead idea of drug testing anyone who receives unemployment bucks came from our first-living brain-donor, Senator Orin Hatch. What a total dick-weed he is. But, you'll be happy to know that there's a whole lot of published Lettes To The Editors in the Salt Lake Tribune denouncing this dick-weed's idea. Most call for drug testing Hatch and every senator and congresscritter, since they too suck on the same government teet as the unemployed -and they're doing much more damage than someone who's been laid-off since '08.<br /><br />What I don't understand is that the guy is what, 76 years old or something? You'd think that by that time, you'd be done fucking-over average Murikans and just retire and fuck high-priced call girls (while snorting coke), but nooooooo, this asswipe wants to fuck with EVERY people until his sorry old ass keels over. Jebus, more proof that there is no god. Some 19 year-old who's trying to do something right, gets murdered by Israel and Orin Hatch is allowed to screw people over till, till -forever! <br /><br />Ok, calm down, Randy. Breath deeply, there now....<br /><br />Ok.<br /><br />Yeah, rp, I don't have a whole lot of faith in the intelligence of the Murikan sheeple either. Most I've encountered in the capitol of "Glenbeckistan" have not one clue as to what's actually going on in the world. And, if you try to give them any info that counters that of Glen, Rush, Bill or any other BS from ABCNBCCBSFOXCNN, they get purdy darn testy. <br /><br />So, now, a butt-load of US and Israeli ships are headed to Iran. King Abdulla headed to D.C on July 6 followed by Nuttyyahooo! on July 8. Hmmmm.... As my Brit friends would say, "Bloody Hell!"

I agree, we all too often only think bad guys band together. Good people can band together too.<br />2. most "bad guys" are not evil, they are responding to windfalls and incentives. Once the incentives change, then their behavior changes. <br />3. vigilantism will certainly rise. It's already around in ghetto situations. The really bad guys get buried and life improves for everyone. <br />4. Innovation. We've been brainwashed into thinking it's all about technology, but maybe what we really need is some institutional/social innovation.Charles Hugh Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12991955853189070212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900671458188709604.post-59099129595380341832010-06-22T08:32:52.717-07:002010-06-22T08:32:52.717-07:00When the deception and lies about 9-11 are exposed...When the deception and lies about 9-11 are exposed and the Zionist and Israeli culprits revealed, Israel will be left without a friend in the world. The racist and militant Zionist regime of "Israel is bound to pass from the stage of history just like the communist dictatorships of the Soviet Union and the apartheid regime of South Africa. Such deeply unpopular regimes often fall without a shot being fired. They simply collapse because they are rotten to the core and unable to stand any longer."<br /><br />The last paragraph of an interview with Christopher Bollyn, printed on rense.com. He makes an excellent case for Israeli responsibility for the 9/11 false-flag operation. I wish I could share his optimism about the critical mass of awareness forcing the US government to turn its back on that pustule of a rogue nation, but I have little confidence in American intelligence, or integrity. Most people are dumber than the rocks I lay, and they get angry if you make them think about painful subjects. Intellectual isolationists. Totally disgusting.<br /><br />-rpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900671458188709604.post-2174915180327518062010-06-22T00:12:24.431-07:002010-06-22T00:12:24.431-07:00Hello Gamedog :-) Thanks for your well wishes for ...Hello Gamedog :-) Thanks for your well wishes for our vacation :-) Interesting to hear about all of your gardening experiences! We have been having a great time hiking and swimming down at Oak Creek. I hiked to a high ridgeline of a very large red rock formation which overlooks all of Sedona and has a great view far up the Oak Creek Canyon. Got in some great Naturist time up there, enjoying the late afternoon sun and the wonderful scenery :-) <br /><br />Today I built a Summer Solstice rock stack down by Oak Creek out of some stream rounded volcanic rocks. I built it 11 rocks high ( I do my circles in the desert with 11 rocks too, with one stone in the middle ). I'll see as the week goes by how long it stands. Its midnight of the solstice here and its been a bit breezy this evening.<br /><br />There were two fires ( the Eagle Fire and the Hardy Fire) burning near Flagstaff when we arrived in the area on Saturday, and then on Sunday while I was up high in the red rock formations I saw a huge fire cloud going up into the sky in the Flagstaff direction and learned later that night that another fire had started that afternoon on the eastern flanks of the San Francisco peaks. <br /><br />As of this evening this fire is over 10,000 acres with zero containment around it. Its been very windy up there with pretty warm and very dry conditions. The news said the fire cloud from that fire went up as high as 35,000 feet. It looked like a volcano had gone off from where I was at!<br /><br />Well happy Summer Solstice all you Trout Clan Folk :-)Hotspringswizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07215356654367335612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900671458188709604.post-9208600739139691582010-06-21T22:26:40.386-07:002010-06-21T22:26:40.386-07:00Montana, July

She made the brag that she raised large garden close to the Arctic circle so could raise a garden anywhere. Of course, that far north, the growing season is 24 hrs long every day for 4-5 months. That is where they grow these fantastic huge melons, pumpkins and such. The problem here is that it can freeze any night or day of the growing season, usually at night. All the frost sensitive plants take a hit then if they can't be protected against below freezing temps. For instance, it is nearly the end of June and we have had to fire up the wood stove in the greenhouse for a week now, because it has gotten down below freezing. We have hoops over the temp sensitive plants in the garden that we cover with garden frost protection blankets, every night for last two weeks. So far, we haven't lost any plants. As I mentioned in previous comment, last year we got blindsided in August and lost all the squash plants due to not double covering them when it dipped down to 25 degrees F 3 nights running. Because some productive plants get so big, like squash, to absolutely protect them would take a pretty good sized greenhouse, ours isn't big enough.<br /><br />I also mentioned that corn is about impossible to raise here without a whopping big greenhouse. <br /><br />If it wasn't for the unseasonal freezing nights, gardening would mostly be a matter of soil amendment and adequate water in this locality. The regular soil here sucks for growing a useful garden without amendments. <br /><br />I am doing a small amount of successive plantings this year and will see how that works out. Problem is that it hasn't really warmed up yet. Been in the low 50's to low 60's every day, and plants are growing slowly. <br /><br />If this weather keeps up, the greenhouse may be the major food source this year. sigh. We shall see.murphnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900671458188709604.post-49865718187947965842010-06-21T09:56:11.795-07:002010-06-21T09:56:11.795-07:00Just a reminder, in case anyone needs one: it'...Just a reminder, in case anyone needs one: it's the Summer Solstice today.
