Time To Put Things RightThe money men and their Globalisation tool have gone to far already and they have not even got into stride yet. How much longer do you think you can hold out? If you think that the sudden rapid rise prices for fuel, energy and more importantly food is just a passing glitch, crunch or other misleading expression, you are dangerously or foolishly mistaken. If you think it's just a matter of riding the storm until it subsides, you have already lost the battle and your future is grim. The new Ethanol so called bio fuel is nothing but a scam to jack up food prices. There are many other materials more suitable for alternative fuel. As mentioned, Hemp is ideal not only for fuel, but a myriad of other uses. Yet this versatile plant is illegal to grow in the USA and requires a license in the UK so it can be regulated. Or should I say YOU can be regulated as to how much you can grow. The Plant That Strikes Fear Into Big Business Governments and big business are scared to death of the public finding out the true qualities of the Hemp plant's wide ranging use, food and medicinal properties included. Hemp produces four times as much paper as trees so why destroy the rain forests, the lungs of our planet, and ultimately destroy fragile sources which keep us alive? The American actor Woody Harleson is what I regard as a true hero. He's been campaigning for hemp's legalisation for years and landed himself in hot water with the authorities many times. Ironically, those same upholders of American justice who try to silence people like Woody are either nothing less than hypocrites or desperately lacking in knowledge of their own history and forefathers ideals of The American Dream. The American Declaration of Independence was actually drafted on hemp paper. Not to forget the Encyclopedia Britannica itself, which was printed on hemp paper for 150 years or so. Industrial hemp belongs to the cannabis family which is classed as an illegal drug. That is the only excuse they have. Yet you can't get stoned off it. They are two different species. Some fish are poisonous, others are not. That does not stop us eating all fish in general, just some that can harm us. The hemp trade was an international business in bygone times until it was outlawed to make way for the fossil fuel pillaging steam age and later plastics etc. Ships no longer needed sails and ropes made from hemp. They needed coal to make power from steam and coal for dirty smog industry steel chains. In sacrificing free wind energy of the hemp made sail, they became very rich and we more dependable on them and their ways. In fact bygone times isn't a fair description of it's history. It dates back as far as 8000 BC. Woody knows the truth. Now you can. Below is a link to a quick history time line. It will upload your brain with no nonsense facts within a few minutes. Knowledge Is Power.Quick History Of Hemp The Wonder Plant How Prepared And Ready Are You?To use a food source as fuel is complete and utter madness. Whoever came up with the idea should be hung, drawn quartered and shot at dawn. Furthermore, those who endorsed it should be stringed up from the nearest lamp post by their thumbs and made to watch. To you and I it is one very mad bad idea, complete and utter nonsense so why has this new idea been pushed through at the speed of light to the point of production already. We know Governments move at less than a third the speed of a Tortoise so why have world leaders embraced this white elephant? Is it merely a clever ploy to cull the third world population while turning a massive profit as well. If this mad notion was true and successful, greed and power would quickly turn their eye to the West for richer pickings and untold power over most of the Earth's population.I know what many of you are thinking when you see kids starving and people having to riot for food... You may shake your head in disgust and silently protest. You may feel sympathetic for those children dying in the agonising pain of hunger. But you cannot begin to imagine the physical and mental agony of real starvation because the first pangs of your hunger can easily be satisfied. You have food in the kitchen and fresh water on tap. You have electricity to cook and give you warmth and light. Begin not to take these things for granted. They can be cut off at any time. In fact many parts of Britain will taste this discomfort before the year is out. Take a proper look at those people rioting and children starving. It is not beyond the realms of chance that one day soon it could happen to you. And if it does.... can you honestly say you are prepared and ready? If you have suffered a power cut for a day or two you will understand how unpleasant life can be but also how dependent you have become. Especially if you are all modern electricity will no gas or open fire back up. At least you can eat out or nip down to the shop for food. But what happens if food couldn't make it to shops or eating places. Panic buying would ensure that shelves would empty fast. Contemplate that thought for a few moments then ask yourself if you are prepared and ready to feed your family. It is safer to prepare for the unexpected even though you hope it will never happen. But that's why it's called the unexpected. I would take notice of the events you see around you now because you are witnessing a dry run for the main objective, the Western world. I mentioned recently that there is a plan to have almost complete control over the masses by 2010. They will do this by controlling your finances as they do now but their ace cards are food and water. They are purposely destroying farmers and natural crops in order to force unpopular GM foods upon you. Their GM seeds are called Terminator seeds. They are sterile and cannot reproduce, so farmers then have to buy new seeds after each harvest and be susceptible to ransom on price. This then is passed on to the consumer. Food is more precious than Gold or Oil and big business has finally figured out a way to control it. You are already eating much GM rubbish via your caring local Supermarket. Whom I might add, have recently been caught conspiring with each other behind your backs to fix the price of dairy products in order to keep them artificially high. This is called stealing and the top executives should be jailed along with their public betraying acolytes. This won't happen of course because the superstores are all part of the same club. They have almost already succeeded in closing down most of your corner shops, post offices. petrol/gas stations etc, etc, etc. In the next two or three years they will be almost non existent but for a few through circumstance. Almost all your shopping will be centralized to the big superstores with their inferior and unhealthy merchandise. Stop Poisoning Yourself And Your ChildrenThere has never been so much sickness and new health problems in decades. Bad health and related problems especially with children has grown to epic proportions within the past five years. Before we heard of supermarkets people were healthy and children did not have allergies. We ate good cheap wholesome food from local farms. Look at where we have arrived now. Cancer is no longer a rarity and kids are either obese, autistic or plagued with some other disorder....... As they say. You Are What You Eat.Think I'm just having a good old rant? Try this and wake up to the truth. Buy a humble Tomato from a humble local greengrocer (if you can find one). Buy a Tomato from any major superstore. I can't mention names because they will sue me in a heartbeat, but it's not hard to figure out. On second thoughts we will call them collectively M.A.S.T. (First letter of each one of the big four) If you see me begging on the street, please spare a coin. If I'm jailed please feel free to write. Back to the experiment. Put your two Tomatoes side by side on a windowsill and leave for a few days. Low and behold.. Magik doth come and manifolds into wondrous happenings! Your natural grocer's Tomato is now looking sad, wrinkled skin, stressed, misshapen and flabby. (Similar to John Prescott the ex deputy PM) But your superstore super Tomato looks good, fresh and firm. It hasn't even begun to ripen yet, like a fading star on Botox it seems to defy age. In fact it will still be edible long after your organic Tomato has decayed to mush. But you are not stupid. You know it's not really Magik, it's called irradiation. A technique used to prolong shelf life of perishables by nuking it with Radiation to kill the healthy bacteria which makes it naturally decompose. Also a technique which I thought was illegal. It was supposedly banned a few decades ago because of public outcry, but looks like your caring family stores sneaked it back in regardless of your health concerns of slowly poisoning your children. If I am wrong about irradiation then the only alternative is GM. Microwaving is just as harmful to your nutrients yet by habit, trend or ease, almost every household has one in regular use. So you people! What are you going to do? Surely you must realize that the more silent you remain, the more soul destroying things will be foisted upon you. Give them an inch and they will take a mile. Will you walk silently into the night's embrace without a murmur of protest? Or will you stand and fight like a hungry Lioness protecting her cubs? The time is long overdue to kick the big Corporations into touch and teach them that their philosophy of profit over health is both wrong, greedy and above all immoral. Join My Subtle Silent Revolution I am not asking you to take up arms and riot in the streets. I am not even asking you to organize demonstrations outside their stores. It would only give them a platform for their PR people to spew denial and bare faced lies. There is a more subtle, healthier and more fulfilling way. Yes my friends, there is indeed more than one way to skin a cat! That is an old expression by the way. I'm not suggesting you eat your cat......... Not yet anyways. The way to show them is to hit them where it really hurts... in their pockets and popularity.The way to render them defenceless is prove you neither need nor depend on them. And the simple truth is that you don't. Supermarkets are quite a new entity in the scheme of things, local shops are not. In wartime the British were described as a nation of shop keepers. When I was a kid, corner shops were plentiful. Gone now for to long. It's long past time to bring them back. Re-establish and rebuild our community spirit where everyone watches out for each other instead of living in fear behind locked doors. I lived way up in the Highlands of Scotland for many years where these communities still actually exist. It is not fantasy but fact. I walked amongst them. The local shops are focal points for gossip (news), meeting places, business, pleasure arrangements and so on. Everybody knows everybody's business to a degree, so a watchful eye is kept. If someone is to proud to ask for help, people up there will not stand by and watch them struggle. If they can sway the odds in your favour they will. We have lost this spirit by choosing an easier and more convenient life and strangely enough, all the stress related problems that comes with it. You don't have to pack up and leave to experience that kind of life. You simply get your heads together and create your own where you live now. Grow You Own Organic Food Have you noticed how you must pay over the odds for Organic grown food in a supermarket/store? It's ironic that this fact alone is an admission that the rest of their stock is not natural. Organic tastes better because it has not had the beneficial nutrients blasted out of it by irradiation or drenched in pesticides, (another name for poison). But to be honest, I personally wouldn't touch Organic from any of the MAST stores because I simply do not trust them one iota. Time to select a small piece of your back garden for a Vegetable Patch. No Garden, no excuse. If you have a backyard simply rip up a few slabs. No yard, no excuse? You even can grow potatoes etc in buckets, bins or even old Tyres. Get the kids involved, kids love to play in dirt. Dirt helps build their immune system while we destroy it with to much hygiene and cleaning products. A few hours in the garden getting their fingernails black is more beneficial to health than sitting inside playing on a computer. They will also be fascinated seeing their products grow and have a sense of pride at the end result. They will grow up to be value producers in many walks of life instead of lazy, obese and lacking interest in anything except their fantasy world of games. Dirt is natural goodness. My Irish Granny used to put a pinch of dirt into a boiling pan of spuds. A tiny bag of dirt came with spuds in those days similar to bags of salt in crisps. (US Crisps = Chips) It was an Irish thing and nobody knows the humble spud better than the Irish. But the real reward comes with the eating. I will guarantee that most of you have never tasted a vegetable straight from the garden or experienced a juicy carrot exploding into taste. In fact most will think that a carrot is naturally bright orange when in fact it's purple. Another example of marketers messing with food to make the appearance more palatable. Have you ever tasted fresh herbs straight from the garden? If not, you should, and they are so easy to grow. If you grow your own you already know where I'm coming from so try to convince others of the benefits. It's Eco Friendly TooIf local councils disagree, you can render them powerless. Remind them that central government and media are always scaring you about global warming and so on. As a law abiding citizen you are just doing your environmental duty. Explain that the carbon emissions from chains of large stores are vastly damaging the ozone, including your own trip for shopping. Tell them that for the sake of convenience it's a price you are no longer willing to pay at the expense of your children's health and future. You can hang the authorities with their own rope.I doubt a local council would bother one or two but if many formed a co-op it would be interesting to gauge their reaction. I'm almost sure there is an old Common Law somewhere that gives us the right to grow our own food and even own a chicken for fresh eggs. If you are knowledgeable please drop me a line and I will pass it on. Save Our Birds, Bees And Butterflies Have you ever wondered what the world would be like without birdsong in the morning? Although we take it for granted, it is still uplifting to hear. It makes the day come alive. But alas, they too are dwindling in numbers because they have a food crisis also as many insects disappear. We destroy their habitat by building patios or concreting over gardens for the sake of easy maintenance. This is only the tip of the iceberg however. There is a much more serious problem for us as mankind in general. Bees and Butterflies are disappearing at an alarming rate. Scientists claim to be baffled but I have my suspicions which I will cover soon. Meanwhile your veg or herb garden would provide these important little fellows with a fighting chance. Einstein once said something like, if bees were ever to become extinct, Mankind would soon follow. Nature depends on pollinating insects to keep herself ticking in the way we have become accustomed. Without this natural cycle all crops will eventually fail and we will become GM dependant and therefore once again be at the mercy of big business corporations. As our health begins to fail through lack of proper nutritional food another big company will sell us drugs to cure it and another to combat side effects of the cure drug. Is that the life you want for you or your children? Because it does not have to be. You can safely predict that the control of the very basis of life is next on the agenda. WATER! Then they have you exactly where they plan to. Get Organized - Get Going - Get Growing Get organised with neighbours if you have a close knit community. One grows potatoes another carrots another greens etc. Then trade each other free. Give or sell on your surplus cheap and split the profits. Feed the old and needy. You will be soon find that your tiny 6x4 ft vegetable patch produces much more than you and your family needs so offer it to someone. You will be gratefully appreciated. Maybe you can encourage some of them to start growing their own. You don't have to be an Allan Titchmarshe or Percy Thrower, vegetables and herbs are extremely low maintenance. If you can't grow for whatever reason, get into the habit of buying fresh produce from a local greengrocer or fruit and veg market trader. Support your local shops and it's only a matter of time before they will be able to afford to drop prices. Don't support them and they will soon disappear. If it is still necessary to use a superstore, just do not buy their freshly irradiated produce and dairy products. Is there a local milkman in your area? Farm fresh milk, eggs, bacon and so on delivered to your door first thing in the morning is another dying British tradition. Support your local milkman and remember that this was once one of life's little luxuries that is not yet beyond reach. Do you like Fish or Seafood? Again there are mobile fishmongers who would be glad of your custom. Find which days they come to your area and from where they trade. Many will come directly to you so providing them with new potential customers. You will pay slightly over the odds for proper fresh milk but what you loose on the swings you gain on the roundabouts. Quality, service and the nutritional value of natural healthy organic food. Money saved by growing your own spuds etc, will more than offset the cost of extra pennies from local producers. (Who are also being ripped off by big retailers like MAST) From Small Acorns Mighty Oak Trees Grow You cannot begin to imagine the powerful effect such an undertaking would have on big business. While you grow healthy they grow stressed through panic and fear for their overpaid jobs. Behind your back's they will curse you. To your face they will make false promises and try to buy you back with even lower prices on the junk they pedal. This will start a price war amongst themselves in the media. But in truth they will meet covertly and agree on price as they have recently done with dairy products. With tongue firmly in cheek you can say - Tough luck guys, but it's no use crying over spilt milk. I saw a TV segment recently about the waiting list for a council owned vegetable plots in this country and it's massive, in fact it can take years to acquire. So we can assume that growing your own is avery popular idea. Why wait years for your council to grant use of a little land when you have a back garden or know someone who has. Make your own little farm. It's prudent, it's healthy and it's a stress reducing hobby which kids will absolutely adore and benefit from in mind, body and spirit. I have placed links below for you to explore how to start becoming self sufficient. Now then....where did I leave my spade?
