The Corporation

If a corporation were psychoanalyzed, it would most assuredly be labeled a psychopath. Is it any wonder that as normal caring human beings we so often find ourselves at odds with corporations? We are constantly manipulated by them as consumers and U.S. citizens, and how frustrating and psychologically demoralizing are so many of the jobs we have with these same corporations as employees?

The following film delves pretty deeply into the subject of corporations and the damage they do to our society and the role they play in every aspect of our lives.

The film is 3 hours long, so get something to eat and drink, and go pee first. You will hear references to the film being 3 parts, but I have all parts included in the one video.

Transhuman Eugenics

Every day that passes more and more people are waking up to the truth around them. Our government is a mere puppet show. The real powers are behind the scenes. And these powers have used the Federal Reserve as their money machine to fund their global agenda. What is this agenda? Many of you have come to realize that a New World Order is gaining momentum, and that within that New World Order the plan is to have a one-world government where the bankers that have hijacked our governments will rule over the entire planet (in many ways, they already do).

If you're curious about the future in the minds of the self-appointed elite who literally believe they are superior to the rest of us, you can watch the following film and see what they have been working on for a very long time, in an effort to control "their" future. You may have heard about their agenda to reduce world population to 500 million (currently 6.7 billion as of 2008). What you might not be aware of is their move toward technology that they believe will significantly extend one's lifespan far beyond the current world average of 65 (U.S. Average is between 78 and 80). Whether or not they accomplish this and despite when, or if, it is to take place, the important thing here is that it is their intention. And that intention of extended lifespan is not likely to include you and me (providing such technology gained sufficient momentum and was obtained in our lifetime).

Let's do a little deduction. The elites want the world population down to only 500 million. But their agenda includes obtaining the technology to dramatically increase one's lifespan. Do you recognize the contradiction here? If they manage to dramatically extend lifespans for all of us, our world population will explode to an amazing rate, and I assure you they do not want that. It shouldn't take you but a few seconds to realize that should they achieve such technology, that technology will be for "them" and them only. And the rest of us (those who are left) will serve the state in whatever capacity they see fit. And think about this... If part of their agenda is to get the population down to 500 million, there are only a few ways of doing that. One would be to ask us all to stop making babies. Do you think that will work? There are already all kinds of contraceptive "protections" available to us, but we keep populating the planet anyway. Some feel that they are to populate the planet, because God said to. Some want children, because having a family is important to them. Some want children, because they want to live vicariously through them. Some want children, because they can milk the government. Then there are those that don't want children, but don't use protection and end up with children anyway. Some don't want children and don't care how long a path of children they leave behind as they go from woman to woman, like Johnny Appleseed. No matter the reasons, either moral or immoral, human beings procreate, and they do it a lot. One way of slowing down population growth is prosperity. The United States, for instance, is very low on birth rates. Much of this is due to our freedoms, liberties, and our education in general (even if the quality of our education IS on a down trend). That being the case, our elitist rulers could put their efforts toward creating prosperity for all nations and all people. But hold on! *screeching rubber as the brakes are applied* That just won't do. You see, doing that on a global basis would mean that the elites have to give up far too much leverage over the rest of us. In the balance of things, if all nations are given more freedom, liberty and more prosperity, that means that someone somewhere is giving up control. World leaders giving up control? Please, do tell me another.

The elitist rulers are not going to give up their unrighteous dominion over us, so you can forget any chance of their pushing for more freedom and liberty (even if they say otherwise). This leaves us two main options left. One, propaganda. Two, intervention and force. How effective can propaganda be? Sex is pretty powerful stuff, and based on what I've witnessed, propaganda does an amazing job up to the point that people are inconvenienced from your interfering with their trivial pastimes (i.e., if everyone pulled together and united, our country would be amazingly better, as well as the world, but getting involved is too inconvenient for what seems to be the lazy majority). So something as powerful as sex is likely to be relatively immune to propaganda for the most part. Especially those living in squalor that have little to do for enjoyment. That leaves intervention and force. What might be some ways to accomplish this? War, for one thing. Henry Kissinger once said, "Soldiers are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns of foreign policy." It should be noted that Kissinger was Dick Cheney's adviser, and he cannot set foot in many nations, because he would be arrested on the spot as a war criminal. He is just one of many elitists who don't give one rat's ass about the rest of us and has a clear disrespect for anyone willing to risk their life for their country. Does he sound like anyone who cares one bit about people dieing in war? No. He sure doesn't. Now take it one step further. If he and people like him are not bothered by the deaths from war, what is stopping them from deliberately creating war as part of their agenda of depopulating the planet? Hundreds of thousands and millions of people killed is one step closer to their goal. What might be some other ways of intervening? Well, do we know what's in our water? Do we know what's in our food? Do we know what's in our medications? Our vaccines? You can trust people in power if you'd like. Knock yourself out. But when I drink water, it's filtered. When I eat I try to eat organic foods. On the rare occasion I go to the doctor, I research what he's giving me. And if it's something where I can tough it out, I don't take any medication. Why do you suppose there is mercury and squalene in the H1N1 vaccine? I'm not a freakin' thermometer so please, someone tell me why I need mercury inside my body.

What was to be a short intro for the following film has turned into a rant, of which I could go on and on about for a good long time. So I'll stop here and let you watch the film in peace, even though there isn't much that is peaceful about it.

Enjoy! ... and be safe.

Water Storage

Many of you know how important it is to keep a supply of food storage in preparation for hard times that can come at any moment. Anything from losing your job to an interruption in food supplies or natural disaster can turn your life upside down overnight. And having a year supply of food can go a long way to putting you at ease. As part of your food storage, you need a solution for water. This can be quite a daunting task since crunching the numbers according to recommended daily intake of water means a whole lot of water taking up a whole lot of room if you aim to have a year supply.

According to the Mayo Clinic, you should drink roughly 64 oz of water per day (half a gallon). In that case 1/2 gallon multiplied by 365 days in a year comes to 182.5 gallons for one person per year of storage. If you use 55-gallon barrels to store your water in, you're talking about 4 barrels per person. Not too bad if you're on your own with some decent space. But if you have a family of say, a spouse and 4 children, that turns into 24 barrels. And if you're one of those who has 10 kids, that's 48 barrels. With a 2-foot diameter for each barrel, the 4 barrels will take up 16 sq. feet. The 24 barrels will take up 96 sq. feet. The 48 barrels will take up 192 sq. feet. Depending on your family size, that's a lot of living space taken up by just water, which isn't even being used until disaster strikes.

Now, lets look at the cost of just the barrels. If you buy a 55-gallon food-grade water storage barrel from me, you're going to spend $79.95 for each barrel. That's no cheap purchase when you have a family. Based on the 3 family sizes mentioned above, you're looking at, $320 for the single person, $1,919 for the family of 6, and $3,838 for the family of 12. Despite this cost, it's important to have water storage, and if you buy your barrels from me, you'll certainly make my day, but there is another option. What if I told you that you can buy a water unit that will generate water without being hooked up to any water supply, and that the unit will produce up to 7 gallons of water per day out of thin air? Some of you will know what I'm talking about already, and some of you might think I'm smoking crack in between my postings. Well, I'm happy to say I don't smoke crack. I can't afford it in this economy. There is, in fact, a unit that looks much like a standard water cooler that you might find in any office environment.



The difference is that this particular unit doesn't rely on a water supply line because it pulls moisture (humidity) from the air into it's intake and then collects and filters it into a reservoir, ready for you drink. If this unit generates 7 gallons of water per day, that's 2,555 gallons of water per year (the equivalent of 47 55-gallon barrels). And it takes up no more than 2 sq. feet. You can purchase this unit from a company called EcoloBlue for US $1,250. And right now they have a promotion where for $1 more you can get a gas-powered electric generator.

You might want some barrels for storage anyway, but at least with this unit you can have peace of mind while you build your water barrel supply, since you will have a continuous supply of fresh water. And with the generator that comes with it for only $1, you can still get water if the power goes out. My plan is to run one on solar so I don't have to be concerned about getting gas for the generator. Generators are great and very handy, but if whatever crisis comes along involves an interruption in gas supplies, a generator with only work for us until we run out of fuel (and storing large quantities of gas would be bloody expensive, not to mention dangerous and likely to require a permit for large quantities).

Hydroponic Gardening

Hydroponics is the method of growing plants within a reservoir of water and without using soil. This doesn't mean there is no medium used at all. The medium just isn't soil. The medium in this case might be, gravel, sand, crushed rocks or bricks or any other sterile medium.

Why Do Hydroponics?
By not using soil, you've immediately eliminated any pest problems that would originate from a soil substrate. And no weeds!!! Overall, there is significantly less maintenance involved. And even better, you can maximize the use of your space. You can grow a lot more in a much smaller area, which is of great importance for those with smaller yards, or even for those with no yards as they can take the growing indoors. Additionally, your crops will mature more rapidly and produce more fruits and vegetables. AND you will conserve a lot of water and chemicals. Where in traditional gardening your watering of your plants sends a huge portion of your water beyond the reach of your root system, your hydroponic system holds your water and chemicals in place just like a fish tank does, exposing you to only minimal evaporation.

Why Does Hydroponics Produce Superior Crops?
When planted in traditional soil, that soil can often leach both water and minerals from your plants. Even after you've applied fertilizer. If we can't be sure that the necessities for the plants to thrive are even getting to the plant, we have little control over what we end up with. And if your soil in your yard is of poor quality, you'll just be that much worse off. In a hydroponic system you apply specific chemicals in specific quantities at specific times to the water. In some systems, the roots of the plants are always in the water and when there is nothing to leach the water or the chemicals away, your plants are in nutrient heaven 24/7. Can you imagine the health and quality of your plants in this environment? And no more under watering or over watering. It's just not possible. It's important to note that there are different methods of hydroponics and not all methods involve your plants being in constant water. There is one method called "ebb and flow" for instance, where on a timer your plants are flooded with water and then that water is pulled back into its reservoir (this would be done around 6 or 8 times a day.

What Equipment Do I Need? The materials you'll need to start with all depends on what you want to accomplish. If you're just starting out, you'll probably go relatively small just to get used to the idea and to test the whole hydroponic theory to see for yourself if this method of growing is really superior to traditional methods. You might want to build your own system with raw materials or you might want to just buy a kit. And while you can do this for relatively little money, you could easily spend a whole lot by going overboard.

I suggest starting out small. And while you start out, read as much as you can on the subject and become familiar with the terminology and fundamentals. If you want to start out small, you can buy a product called, AeroGrow. You can actually place this unit right on your counter top. It includes lights, seeds, a water pump and anything else you need to get started. This is a really neat product and does work very well. Tell me it wouldn't be cool to be cooking in the kitchen and just reach over and pluck a tomato, lettuce, or pepper to include in your recipe. And no pesticides, no "frankenseeds" (with who knows what genes have been genetically altered), no driving to the store, and fresher than anything sitting in the produce section of your grocery store.

If you're looking to do your own gardening in order to eat healthier food or to ensure you even have food in order to become more self sufficient and better survive the tsunami of economic turmoil that seems to be coming, I can't emphasize enough the advantages to hydroponic gardening. A couple of things to consider... Depending on where you live and the degree of potential chaos that could ensue as the economy worsens, you may find that growing food outside is too risky. If someone sees your crops, they may want them for themselves. This is not to say that you wouldn't help a person out if they need it. But you want to be the one deciding who you help. You don't want some random, hungry criminal passing by to enter onto your property and help themselves. And your having crops in certain scenarios could give the impression that you're well to do by comparison and someone may decide that they would like to help themselves to the INSIDE of your home while they're at it.
Another big plus is that if you're growing food to survive, you're going to want as much growing time as you can get. If you grow indoors, you can grow year round. This can give some significant peace of mind compared to growing as much as you can in a few short months in a mad dash to store up for the winter. I still suggest storing up, but at least you know you have a continuous source of production. And for those concerned about the energy consumption, I just found some grow lights that are LED. Now that's cool... Literally.

Christmas is just around the corner and something like an AeroGrow is perfect. Rather than spend money on trivial stuff that won't be there for you when you really need it, get something that will help you take that next step to self sufficiency. And as always, you don't have to buy from me, but definitely buy this stuff from someone. Prepare now... Don't wait.

I'll get you some good videos soon. So far, I'm having a hard time finding any that would be worth your time, and I refuse to just post whatever in order to have them posted...

Simplicity and Truth

Thomas Jefferson said in 1802,

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

Read that and tell me that our forefathers are clueless farmers that couldn't have foreseen the future and all of it's "complexities." A decade or two ago, one would have read that and thought, "What? Here in America?" "How could such a thing ever happen here?" But now, it sure looks like Jefferson is warning us directly.

The more you read from people like Thomas Jefferson, the more you realize that he and others like him were far wiser than our current faux leaders would have you believe. Like when they tell us, "Oh, these are more complex times and call for more complex solutions." Pure BS. They try to make our forefathers sound like simpletons in order to control our perceptions and gain support for their sinister policies. The fact is, the fundamentals of truth, liberty, and freedom that our forefathers spoke of transcend across all time, all centuries, all ages. It is a simple concept. A powerful concept. Anyone who claims we live in a more complex world which needs more complex solutions, is either a liar, or one who has been led astray by a liar. The reason that one states such claims of complexity, is because they are working to conceal their deceit and criminal activities. It's meant to confuse you. And if you're confused, you assume you just don't get it, and you settle for understanding the surface of the issue and look no further to see what lies beneath. If I tell you the truth on any subject, you will likely understand in full. If I lie to you and make you believe something that is not true, it makes it even easier for me if I convince you that what I'm talking about is complex. And once you're convinced that it's complex, I have full control of your perception. Because now, you've decided it's too complex for you to understand in full. This leaves you no option other than to allow me or someone else to brainwash you into what I want you to think. I will concede that there are complexities and confusions in our world. But I would be willing to bet that almost all of them were created and perpetuated by straying from simplicity and truth.
