Humans create all kinds of things that seem great but we don't pay any attention to the output on the backside. Nature has created a curious way of being clean on the input and output, it's all balanced. As a species we know just enough to be dangerous. Even though we CAN'T see the whole picture we need to start living like we can. We need to become more independent in our food production and incourage our neighbors to do the same. We need to do this not only to guarantee clean healthy food in the short term but ultimate survival in the long term. Things are going to happen, our society runs on finite resources. What will the landscape look like after the rug is pulled out? Plant some fruit trees.

Cody Holmes: Tall Grass Grazing
When you let animals eat grass the way God intended, wonderful things happen.
I recently attended a holistic grazing seminar put on by Cody Holmes. He's a cattle rancher from Missouri and he's been doing it for 35 years. In the last 10 years Cody has developed a system of tall grass grazing and holistic soil management.
What's the big deal with cows eating grass, you say!? Let me explain...
Right now most livestock, cows, sheep, pigs, goats, chickens, are raised in factory farms, pumped full of grain, antibiotics, and hormones then end up on your dinner table. What's wrong with that, you ask?
Well, herd animals evolved to eat grass with a proportionately small amount of grain. In man's pursuit of bigger cows that put on weight fast he learned you can puff up a cow by feeding them corn. A cows digestive system wasn't made to eat corn, the cow builds up toxins by eating straight grain that it can't get rid of fast enough. These toxins get stored in the meat of the animal and drastically reduce it's useful life. For instance, Holstein milk cows can live 20+ years eating grass and give birth to a calf every year. On a commercial dairy farm the animal is pushed to produce as much milk as possible on a diet of straight grain and hormones, the same cow will live 3-5 years and have 1-2 calves. The sick animal is then sold to a fast food chain to make low quality poisonous burgers.
The way commercial animals live is a problem. In nature these animals roam from one grazing ground to the next. On commercial feed lots these animal live and eat in their own feces and develop parasites and disease. Instead of addressing the problem at its root, man with his superior intellect now routinely administers high doses of antibiotics to these animals. Here is where we start to learn how fixing a problem with another starts to make things interesting.
A couple things happen:
1) Antibiotics are passed on to us through the meat and when we get sick, doctor prescribed antibiotics don't have enough punch to produce the desired effect.
2) More importantly the antibiotics are passed through the animal and into it's feces where it begins to kill the biology in the soil and the little animals that make use of the manure. If you've read this far you may now be thinking who the hell cares about the bugs and bacteria in the soil!
Well, all those little critters have a job to do and they all work together in creating the environment for healthy grass to grow. Commercial feedlots are mud holes where nothing grows. The dung beetles, nematodes, bacteria, and earthworms are all vital to soil health and the health of the plants that grow in it, the animals that eat those plants, and the animals that eat the animals that eat those plants, (that's us by the way). We depend on those animals in the soil for our health.
What's cool about what Cody presented in his seminar is that when you mimic nature in your grazing practices the herd has an extremely positive impact on the soil. Grass fed cows produce fantastic fertilizer. Rotating the herd to fresh pasture everyday keeps the animals free from parasites and disease since they aren't feeding in their own mess. Healthy animals don't need antibiotics that compromise the soil biology and the grass. Cody allows the grass to rest at least 90 days before grazing it again which further mimics nature. The grass grows tall and goes to seed. The futile soil grows thick with healthy grass. The animals that eat it grow strong and healthy, so do the people that eat those animals.
Interesting fact: 100 years ago corn contained about 20% protein. Today modern genetic manipulation and hybridization has produced larger and larger quantities of corn with less and less nutritional value, today corn has about 3% protein and is mostly empty calories. Thank you Monsanto!

The Elusive Potato and The Mouse that Roared
I was out digging up last years spuds today, it's amazing how they multiply. Root vegetables are great. Not only is the potato a high energy food, but it doesn't require any refridgeration. Potatoes can be left in the ground all winter and you can dig them up as you need them or you can dig them up in the fall and store them inside. I tried three varieties last year, reds, whites, and blues... :-D Real American Fare! I found that the reds were the easiest to spot while I was digging followed closely by the whites. The blue potatoes however are very difficult to see, their dark skin looks the same as the dirt and they are fairly easy to mistake for a rock. I really enjoy eating blue potatoes, they are unique looking and I hear they are full of vitamins. If a hungry mob wanted to steal your potatoes they would have a hard time finding them if you planted blues, (but so would you). The top of the plants die off early in the year. You could have a huge covert potato patch that would be hard to identify. If you keep all your food stored in your house and you got robbed or your house burnt down you'd still have a huge patch of potatoes in the ground. A nice potato patch could keep you alive if things got tough. Even if someone was so desparate they started digging, they wouldn't know where to dig in the garden. If someone found the spot you grew them they'd still have to know what they were looking for to find a blue potato.
I am totally amazed by the amount of seed I harvested from my garden. Even now in the spring I found corn and beans that I mist last fall that are dry and ready to plant. New carots have already started to sprout up naturally from last years seed. I have got thousands of radish seeds from only a few plants that I let grow. Radishes are great, they grow really fast and you can have many harvests during the season.
It is really silly that a group of dominent men want to steal the world and then sell it back to us. It's all out there free to anyone willing to nurture it. This planet is full of abundance, don't let the "credit crises", "bailouts", or massive debts confuse you. These assholes plan to make indebted servants out of us through government hock and interest owed to the central banks (interest owed on money that never existed until it was borrowed!) To hell with them, when we all understand how stupid their game is we can walk away. It's no fun playing with them anyway.
Iceland, the Mouse that Roared
By Szandor Blestman
I thought I heard something the other night. It was a distant sound, a low rumbling, a roar from some far off beast that had finally pronounced its presence. It woke me for a second, but it was so distant I felt no threat and simply rolled over and went back to sleep. The next morning I learned that Iceland was taking a stand. It was refusing to pay its British and Dutch debts. It is claiming the debts are a result of fraud, and it's right. They have made the offer to pay some years from now, if they can afford it at that time, and only as a percentage of their GDP. This offer has been, of course, declined by Iceland's creditor banks as they demand payment in the form of real assets.
The Icelanders have grown a pair, so to speak. They are doing something I wish Americans would have done, or will do in the future. They are standing up to the privately owned banks that seem to think they are above the law, that they can change the rules at their whim, and that they alone know what's best for the world, which of course happens to empower them and help their profits. I may not agree with all the politics of Iceland. It might not be the bastion of freedom one looking to get away from intrusive government might run to, but I do admire their stance against the banksters.
Let's examine the situation a little closer. The Icelanders claim that private banks owe the money to other private banks, not taxpayers. The people who own the private banks should be responsible for paying back the creditor banks, not the people of Iceland. I agree wholeheartedly with that assessment. Furthermore, I would take it a step further and make the assertion that any government official voting for any public borrowing that requires payment of public funds for interest be held responsible, or their family be held responsible, should the loans go into default. In other words, these public officials should not be allowed to maintain their fortunes while the common folk are expected to pay for the mistakes they made. Perhaps that would help stop the corruption.
It seems that Iceland was fooled into the same ponzi scheme the rest of the world finds itself in. This all revolves around the fact that money in and of itself has no intrinsic value. It is just paper, for the most part, and in the modern world it is just data floating around in cyberspace. Even metal coins are made from cheap and common metals anymore. The fiat system devised by the central banks are designed to collapse at some point, and it's designed to collapse in such a way that the very few, very rich, very powerful end up with all the marbles. It's not enough to them, it seems, to be at the top of the heap, they have to be so high up and keep the common folk down so low as to be untouchable.
Those that own the banks now hope that they can swoop in and buy up the nation's infrastructure for pennies on the dollar, or in this case aurar on the krona. This is how they operate. They print money based on nothing but debt at negligible cost to themselves, then charge interest on that debt, interest that is never created by the way, and then when the debt can't be repaid they end up acquiring all the real wealth that's been created. It's a brilliant scheme in its simplicity. They end up with all the real wealth and they risk nothing of any real value. I could be wrong, but I think it's safe to say that the Icelanders figured this out when their creditor banks started demanding things like their geothermal power stations and other such publicly owned infrastructure as payment for their defaulted loans. They cried "foul!" - as well they should having played by the rules all this time - and charged that they had been defrauded. They may well have shocked the establishment with their refusal to pay the extortion.
One may well ask, "Is this the fate that awaits all nations?" How many nations in the world today are in the same boat as Iceland? How many are having problems just servicing the interest on their debt? I dare say it would be easier to count the nations that weren't experiencing debt trouble. And one could rightly ask where all the money has gone. Certainly the debt hasn't been put back into the economy to create more wealth. Indeed, I would venture a guess that there's trillions of dollars, euros, yens, pounds, francs, marks, you name it, stashed away in vaults somewhere just waiting for the day when they can be used again, money that should no longer exist that somehow found its way into secret vaults that also shouldn't exist.
It is interesting to note that the biggest banks, the ones that managed to get bailed out by US tax dollars rather than made to liquidate, are intimately connected to the same international bankers who own the central banks across the globe. Indeed, Goldman Sachs seems to have become a "bank of the world," so to speak, as it has its fingers in a little bit of everyone's pies these days. It is also interesting to note that their largest competitors were allowed to fail, effectively setting them up with monopoly privileges. That's how the power banking elite want it, all the money in their hands and all the corporations under their thumb as they monopolize the issuance of currency and credit. Everyone will have to do as they say or they will quickly become bankrupt and destitute. Such is the power of monopoly.
One may well wonder what happens next. The British and Dutch have threatened economic sanctions should the Icelanders fail to fall in line, but is this how we want to treat our brethren? Is this how we want to treat our allies that stood by us in the darkest of times? Do we now just shun people we consider friends simply because they stand up for what they believe is right? Do we go so far as to commit an act of war on such a democratic nation because they recognize a fraud when they see one? This situation should get everyone thinking. The corruption now exposed is so grievous and obvious that we should all realize the time has come to obliterate the current system and deny any power to those who brought this situation to bear.
It is once again time to set up a system of money based on labor instead of debt. We should have a system where free people are able to own property outright, not have to borrow to afford it and then worry that an uncaring bank may come and claim it should one find one´s self in financial trouble. Similarly, it is very disturbing that government can claim private property via eminent domain and non payment of property taxes as if they feel they already own the land you pay for. These wrongs have needed correction for a long time now and hopefully the actions of the Icelanders will help start the ball rolling.
While the Greeks are rioting because they worry their entitlements will be taken away, the Icelanders have been able to take a more direct roll in the political process. The Greeks may well feel they have been left out of the political process, much like many Americans feel at this point in time as we watch the congress blatantly ignore the wishes of the common folk time and again. The bailouts, the wars, the passing of laws violating our rights and the health care bills are all examples of the minority political class ignoring the wishes of the majority to the detriment of society. The Icelanders may have to pay a price for their bravery, but they are finding their way back to freedom and self reliance.
We have been dependent on these banks for far too long and they have taken advantage of it. They have threatened our lawmakers with martial law and economic destruction. They have refused to honor the will of the people and answer questions involving how they´ve spent our money. As I write this, a very few senators, Bob Corker (R-TN), Richard Shelby (R-AL), Chris Dodd (D-CT) and Judd Gregg (R-NH), are working to strip the Audit the Fed amendment from the Financial Reform Bill and give the Federal Reserve even more power. This will assure they will never be held accountable for the wrongs they have done. These senators need to be shown in no uncertain terms that we the people have had enough and will not obey their dictates and whims any longer.
We as a society need to start producing again. We need to start competing with others who wish to produce. This is how wealth is created. The more wealth we create, the more prosperous we all become. For a few decades now, we have tried to maintain our lifestyles with a service economy. It didn´t work. Now the economy is collapsing worldwide. Now the banks are hoarding that which they created and are trying to claim the real wealth that should be owned by private sovereigns. We need to ask ourselves, can we be proactive and stop this before we wake up and find ourselves in the same boat as Iceland? If not, will we simply say no and refuse to pay as they did, or will we allow our society to break down and resort to violence as the Greeks? Don´t let a few politicians on the bankster´s payroll dictate what needs to be done. Demand action now. Roar louder than the Icelanders. Hopefully, we will find justice later. Hopefully, we can avoid the fate of nations that remain on the central banker´s preferred course.

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.
A friend of mine said today "The revolution will start with a man holding a shovel not a gun." He may be correct. If people voted against the big brother nanny state by providing for themselves and choosing to not participate in the scam we may have a peaceful revolution on our hands! Government only has the power that we give them, or so we're taught. Unfortunately, the creation of the unconstitutional Federal Reserve Bank has given government power through valueless paper currency printed without our consent. To lead the charge during the Modern American Revolution we will be called to sacrifice. When we decide to no longer participate in a grossly corrupt system we begin to take it's power away. I just thought of that old saying: "just because everyone else is jumping off a cliff doesn't mean you should too." The country was led to the cliff in 1913 with the passing of the Federal Reserve Act and federal income taxes the same year (no coincidence). So we see that the illness is cancer (aka Fed). We've discovered the blood vessels keeping this tumor alive (phony money system charging us interest on money printed out of thin air). Now for the cure, this part involves sacrifice. We have to starve the tumor. We need to cut off the beast from getting a piece of every productive thing that a human can do. The beast doesn't produce anything of value, the product they push is debt. So your asking "what is it you want me to do?" Well for starters we must reduce ourselves to hunter gatherers and peasants. :-D hahaha! OK, not totally. hahahaha! Seriously though the interconnectedness of modern society really is good. Not all of us need to be farmers but that would help. Our basic need is food and you don't need money for that when you make it yourself. When you are self sufficient it won't matter what kind of carrot they hang in front of you, you don't need it. Quit using credit cards, using them raises the price of goods for everyone. Credit card companies (banks) charge merchants a percentage for accepting them, that raises the price of the product creating a hidden tax for the beast. Basically don't buy and sell, the beast imposes its unjust taxes on both sides. Make as little money as possible or none at all. Starving the beast will involve this kind of sacrifice unless our representatives repeal the Federal Reserve Act, until then a little bit of all you do goes to feeding the beast. Barter as much as possible for goods and services. If you don't make much money the beast won't either. If you don't have land try guerrilla gardening or sharing with others. Live Free, Be Free.

Time for a U.S. Revolution – Fifteen Reasons The 1776 Declaration of Independence stated that when a long train of abuses by those in power evidence a design to reduce the rights of people to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, it is the peoples right, in fact their duty to engage in a revolution. Look at what our current system has brought us and ask if it is time for a revolution? By Bill Quigley

Health, the Unintended Consequence of Economic Depression.
One hopeful consequence of having more time on our hands will be health, maybe even some happiness. In the rush to go nowhere during the twentieth century we had definitely sacrificed both. Fast food became the norm, nobody had the time to pay attention to what they were eating while they rushed off to their important jobs. Progress removed the need for natural exercise from our daily routine. We’d wake up in the morning and take a seat in our car, drive to work where the “educated” had a desk job where they could sit all day, then we’d go back to sitting in our car for the drive home and plop down on the couch till it was time for bed. Is it really any wonder why so many are obese? Progress has reduced us to meat bags on a stick. (I'm aware of the irony of that picture of me at the top of this blog ;-P ) Once you’ve put on 400 or 500 pounds you decide to get a gym membership to remind your body what it’s like to move. It’s silly that we now PAY to do meaningless physical labor, (real progress).
If more people started gardening again it would benefit us in many ways. I know what you're thinking, “only a peasant slave would say such a thing” or “we don’t need to do that anymore” ;-) While it’s true big agro-business has taken over food production for the masses, is it really an improvement? Do you think Monsanto’s genetically modified corn is better for you than the original? How about DuPont's variety? Are all the chemical fertilizers and pesticides used to grow it improving your health? Curing cancer isn’t some mystical far out breakthrough. It’s easy, quit eating chemicals that don’t belong in your body. If a pesticide sprayed on a food plant kills other critters are we really so brain dead that we think it won't harm us when WE eat it?
Taking control of what fuels your body is real progress. Big corporations don’t care about you, they only care about the bottom line. Congress votes in favor of who pays them the most. Don’t expect Big Brother to make decisions that are going to keep you healthy. That is your responsibility. There is an alternative however to putting yourself in the warm sunshine and having the satisfaction of turning the soil. A growing number of organic supermarkets offer food the way God intended for double or triple the price and it’s totally worth it. When you consider the cost of health complications down the road from eating garbage and how you feel day to day the choice becomes clear. If you've got the money to pay for it that's great, but I feel that growing food yourself is even more rewarding. There is something magic about springtime, the sun comes out and the earth warms up.
There is a certain sense of security knowing you can provide for yourself. As the diseased central banks spread sickness though the governments of the world and they begin to die, the probability of chaos seems likely. Depending on that system to support us is insane. While the system still has a heart beat it seems prudent to begin cultivating some gardening skills. This way you have something to fall back on as you are learning. If you wait till all hell brakes loose before you plant your first seed, crop failure will be more than a learning experience. Oh yeah, did I mention it's fun to be outside in the sunshine? If you get started this year, those little seed packs that you buy will multiply. If you purchase some open pollinated heirloom variety seeds (the natural non-hybrid type you can replant generation after generation) and save the seeds, the second year you will have enough seeds to plant a field.
If we are lucky the current depression will become so bad most of us will have to revert back to small scale farming, and we will be much healthier for it. It will improve our health both physically and nutritionally, and if I may be so bold, I think it will improve our spiritual health as well.
