  • Impressed with the White House Garden

    Saturday, Jul 18, 2009 1:08AM / Members only

    I'm very impressed with the White House Garden.  I was a little skeptical about the idea and didn't think it would be very well thought out.  After checking out a couple videos and listening to the head chef, I was really blown back by the focus on local food production, closing the loop and even producing their own honey.  This a huge step for them to take and there is also a mention of no insecticides and pesticides from the first ladies mouth! This gives me great hope, but we need to see more change on a larger level.  Conventional farming methods need to be stop and GMO farming needs to be stopped before they ruin all of the soil, water and air!

    Are we all one?  I think that we should all agree that we are one organism and we are given one chance on this earth to respect it and not abuse that relationship.  I know a lot of people would look at something like that and say " oh man your such a hippie".  I love when people say this, because these are the people that are so disconnected from the earth and what life is really about.  Your 9 to 5, nice car and house will not bring you true happiness they will die with you. To make great change and for the world to survive the coming times everyone will have to become more conscious of the decisions they make on a daily basis.  Every time you buy something, every time you step in your car or into walmart think about what kind of work goes into each thing that your are buying.  It's a hard thing to grasp, but if we were all on this level of consciousness there wouldn't be large corporations stomping all over the place knocking great local business's off the map.    You have to figure if your buying something from say wal mart it has traveled a great distance most likely from china to get the US, the person that made this product was paid close to nothing to work long hours to provide this for you and then you have to factor in the waste that is displaced from this process.  You have the gas that it took to power the plant, the raw materials used for this product(most likely petroleum based), the amount of gas it took to get it to the us or its final destination(via boat and then truck to each store).  This doesn't apply to just wal mart this is a good portion of all major companies in the US.  We've out sourced all of our jobs to other countries to cut cost and have lost many jobs here in the US.  Our government is working hard to completely phase out the middle class.  The health care system is a joke, school systems are a joke, cost of living is a joke.  What is going on with this world?  This is the time for community and this idea of oneness to be part of our daily activities.  We need to all bound together as one and realize if we don't do something about this, no one will.  Its time the people take this world back before the earth reclaims itself.  I want to live in a society where everyone is conscious of there surroundings, cares for there neighbors, and has respect for the earth.  I challenge everyone to think about what your buying, read the labels look at the company making it and think about what waste has gone into that product.  Also think of what waste will come after that products life.  There are great companies out there making a conscious decision to take the harder road to make a better world.  This is truly the greatest time to be alive and I have faith that we can recover what we've lost, but we need to start immediately.

    Unfortunately I don't have faith in the voting process in this country.  I feel that the last two elections were rigged and that these presidents are all within the same blood line from the start.  GW wasn't elected he was selected by a higher power to be the puppet if you will.  My prediction is that Borack obama will be elected.  Why you ask.......well because he is an 8th cousin of Dick Cheney and back to the 17th century he is related to GW, wow was a crazy coincidence.  I'm really jaded by all that has happened since GW has been put into office and I feel that this is a huge reason why the movement has to be from the people of this world, I don't trust the way things are being run and I feel the less we have to rely off of them and off of these major companies the better.  Grow your own food, support local business's, catch your own water, use less, conserver more, stop supporting this so called economy and support your local economy.  There are lots of resources out there for everyone to learn how to do simple things such as grow your own food.  If you have an apartment and don't have much space you can grow herbs in your window sill or on your roof top.  If there is a will theres a way.  Even if you think you have a brown thumb, thats just a state of mind.  If you actually pay attention to the plant and understand it you will not have a brown thumb.  when in doubt put your hand in it(the soil that is).  If anyone that reads this has any questions or suggestions or wants to know what small things they can do on a daily basis to make change, feel free to ask a way.

    be the change.......
  • Top off and Vigilant Shield set to go off in Portland this month

    Tuesday, Oct 9, 2007 2:34AM / Members only

    Please read the following from Retired Captain May.

    Nuclear Dictatorship -- The Portland Plan
     
    By Captain Eric H. May
    Military Correspondent
     
    In the last month we have learned that Dick Cheney was eager to urge an Israeli attack on Iran to provoke an Iranian counterattack on Israel, and thereby take the United States into another Middle Eastern war.  In the last week we have learned that declassified NSA transcrīpts prove conclusively that the US government lied to us for 40 years to cover up the truth of Israel's premeditated attempt to sink the USS Liberty and kill its crew during their Six-Day War.  Friday we saw George W. Bush insisting on TV that his government would never dream of committing torture -- even as reports were surfacing to prove that the lie he was telling had been a lie since he began telling us three years ago.  Who knows what tomorrow will bring, since by now we know that the Bush administration is capable of anything.
     
    A Past Prologue:  From 9/11 to Noble Resolve
     
    "... Some choose to view this exercise as sinister -- a pretext for a nuclear attack by the U.S. military on American citizens, according to some fevered speculation..."
    'Noble' is good, not grand -- Editorial, The Oregonian, Aug. 10, 2007
     
    9/11/01 didn't just happen out of the blue.  It was set up by simultaneous military exercises under the control of Cheney, who was in the bunker before any New York or Washington attacks, giving orders to various strategic commands.  Accordingly, the United States was stripped of its air cover by design, allowing airliners to penetrate America's most impenetrable air space to attack New York and Washington, DC.
     
    Likewise, the 7/7/05 London bombings were pre-planned.  Around 1000 local police and national agents were supplemented by private contractors as they simulated terrorist bombings on the city's transportation system -- on the very day of the attack occurred.  Official fingerprints were all over the London bombings, which happened on the exact vehicles, in the exact places and at the exact times designated for the exercise scenario.
     
    After 9/11 a supercharged Bush administration declared North America a military zone under Northern Command (Northcom), and established the Homeland Security Agency (Homeseca) to nationalize police powers.  In the years since, Northcom and Homeseca have been filled with Bush loyalists and true believers, and they regularly conduct terror drills to practice what they would do in case of catastrophic terrorism -- like what happened on 9/11 in the United States and 7/7 in the United Kingdom.
     
    In August, national military and police forces carried out the terror drill Noble Resolve, focused on Portland as the simulated target of a 10-kiloton nuclear device.  Investigating journalists found that top officials zigged and zagged in reply to straight questions about what they were going to do, were doing or had done.  Various military commands offered varying explanations, and sometimes outright contradictions, as to the nature of the exercise.  Portland Mayor Tom Potter claimed ignorance, and accordingly he ignored it all.  A few days before the exercise, the US House Homeland Security Committee formally requested access to the troubling dictatorship directive, NSPD 51, just announced by Bush in May and reputed to have been connected with Noble Resolve.  In reply, a few days later they were formally told to go fly a kite by the White House.  The Portland media remained mum throughout the exercise -- except for a few stories attacking those with questions as conspiracy theorists and left-wing lunatics.
     
    A Present Possibility:  TOPOFF and Vigilant Shield
     
    "It's hard to know what's scarier: the idea of responding to a terrorist attack in Portland or the idea that the government is using a drill as a pretext to seize power, declare martial law and, possibly, attack Iran."
    Different shades of unthinkable -- Editorial, The Oregonian, Oct. 2, 2007
     
    In a little over a week, the largest terror drill in US history will focus on Portland again.  TOPOFF, Oct. 15-19, is designed give "Top Officials" a chance to react to a catastrophic scenario -- a "dirty nuke" terror attack uncomfortably similar to the Noble Resolve nuke attack of two months ago.
     
    The Bush administration will be running more than one exercise -- just as it did on 9/11.  Joining TOPOFF will be Vigilant Shield, which intelligence insiders believe will practice the dictatorship directive, NSPD 51.  The name "Vigilant Shield" brings to mind "Vigilant Guardian," the 9/11/2001 Air Force exercise that pulled away fighter aircraft supposed to guard mainland America and sent them off to counter a simulated Russian attack in Alaska.  Vigilant Guardian may also have been simulating hijacked aircraft, thereby confusing the few remaining fighter aircraft guarding us.  Given that Vigilant Guardian was anything but a vigilant guardian on the day of the last US terror attack, just how reassured should we feel by the feel-good name of Vigilant Shield?
     
    The twin exercises TOPOFF and Vigilant Shield will mobilize as many as 20,000 federal, state, local and tribal officials.  The nuclear attack envisioned for Portland is also slated for Guam and Phoenix.
     
    A Future Fait Accompli?  The Judeo-Christian Jihad
     
    "We should remember that Iran, like Iraq, is a third-world nation without a significant military.  Nothing in history hints that she is likely to invade a neighboring country, let alone do anything to America or Israel.  I am concerned, however, that a contrived... incident may occur to gain popular support for an attack on Iran."
    Congressman Ron Paul to the US House of Representatives, Jan. 11, 2007
     
    Public confidence in our ruling elites is at an all-time low.  Only 30% of the people approve of the Bush administration, and fewer than that approve of Congress.  Fewer still believe what they see, hear and read from the mainstream media, and they are turning to the Internet, which is becoming the printing press of our Second American Revolution.  Were there another "coincidental" occurrence of a terror strike during the upcoming TOPOFF / Vigilant Shield terror exercises, it would solve a slew of problems for the worst government in US history.
     
    If the politicians and presstitutes could convince an increasingly skeptical public that Al Qaeda, and not "Al CIA-duh," was behind the attack, then it would undercut the antiwar and anti-government movement now coalescing behind outsider presidential candidate Ron Paul.  Congressman Paul already ranks equal to the other Republican hopefuls in likelihood to gain his party's presidential nomination, according to Las Vegas oddsmakers, and his nomination would be an existential threat to Bush's neocon cabal.  A President Paul might take action to back up his stated views that 9/11 needs to be genuinely investigated, that the post-9/11 police state needs to be rolled back, and that a military-industrial-media complex bent on Middle Eastern adventurism needs to be straightened out.
     
    At least one foreign government would also be pleased if the United States were re-energized by a follow-up 9/11 attack: Israel.  Official rumors abound worldwide that the Bush administration has promised its pro-Israel power base, made up of both Jewish and Christian Zionists, an attack on Iran.  Journalist Seymour Hersh has been writing and speaking about the prospective attack, and the Jewish journalist isn't shy about saying that the Jewish Lobby is pushing for for all its worth to get us into an Iran war.  When the Iranian president visited the United Nations earlier this month, the hue and cry against him had little to do with American issues, and a great deal to do with Jewish issues of defending the Holocaust and Israel.  The Israeli bellicosity toward Iran -- carried out through their American proxy -- made for interesting reading in a Ha'aretz article on May 18: "Poll: 71% of Israelis want U.S. to strike Iran if talks fail."
     
    Last month the Bush administration sent loose nukes into motion across America, locked and loaded onto B-52s -- then tried to tell anyone still paying attention to the mainstream media that the loose nukes had been a bush league slip-up.  A few days later, the Department of Energy announced that it was gathering up loose nuclear material with the press release "Department of Energy Announces Decision to Consolidate Surplus Plutonium in South Carolina."  That consolidation is on going now, just before the TOPOFF / Vigilant Guardian terror drills involving dirty nukes begin.  DOE specifies that it will be taking the radioactive stuff from Oregon's West Coast neighbors, California and Washington.  That means that the dirty nuke material necessary to take the Portland nuclear scenario from plot to production may just be passing through their city during the terror drills.
     
    A free people should always be anxious when the worst-case scenario for them just happens to be the best-case scenario for their rulers, especially when that scenario is being set up before their eyes.

  • Day 3 of the Cleanse

    Wednesday, Sep 5, 2007 4:39AM / Members only

    Every early morning as the smooth move laxative tea kicks in I get the worst pain in my stomach.  It's during that time of pain and weakness that I want to quit this Cleanse.  After that passes I go throw this rapid phase of energy and clearness.  I have been accomplishing so much since I started this cleanse.  We have so much stuff that we put in our bodies that literally breaks us down physically and mentally.  These things are put in your food on purpose to stunt your brains capacity to function at its highest level and also to keep you confused.  I recommend although its not easy, that everyone does a cleanse to clear you mind and spirit. 

    I have been dead by night fall and I have craved all kinds of wonderful foods.  Will power baby wooooo!
  • Day 2 of cleanse

    Tuesday, Sep 4, 2007 5:47AM / Members only

    So I've made it to day 2, yipeee!  They say the first three days are hell, but it hasn't been so bad.  Yesterday I went to Golden Gate park to meet up with some friends and I found it really hard to be around all these people eating elaborate foods.  I also started to feel a little high as my body was getting used to not having the food intake and toxins started the process of leaving my body.   Last night I didn't sleep well at all, I was tossing and turning and having pretty vivid dreams.  I woke up this morning and had a horrible stomach ache, but I relieved myself and I'm feeling much better.  I have noticed more of a mental clarity and I hope it will continue as I go.

    Keep dreaming.
