Reblogged from The Bovine:

Now here’s some good news, for a change. From Jill Ettinger, at Organic Authority.com:

“Taking the urban garden to the next level, Seattle, Washington has officially broken ground on a dedicated seven acre area of city land set to be converted into an “edible forest” that will produce free food for the city’s residents and visitors, human or otherwise.

Time to Get Off the Couch!

It has been too long since I’ve penned a cartoon, but commercial art has kept me busy and I must pay the bills. I’ve had the couch potato idea lodged in my brain for a while and it’s time it came out. I don’t want to castigate my fellow Americans too much because many are starting to wake up to the fact that a police state IS being slowly put into place.

History rhymes.

Reblogged from expatbob:

“Thus, far and wide, they migrate either to the Goths or to the Bagaudae, or to other barbarians everywhere in power; yet they do not repent of having migrated. They prefer to live as freemen under an outward form of captivity, than as captives under the appearance of liberty. Therefore, the name of Roman citizens, at one time not only greatly valued, but dearly bought, is now repudiated and fled from, and it is almost considered not only base, but even deserving of abhorrence.”

The Rap Music Conspiracy

By Anonymous Author After more than 20 years, I’ve finally decided to tell the world what I witnessed in 1991, which I believe was one of the biggest turning point in popular music, and ultimately American society.

I have struggled for a long time weighing the pros and cons of making this story public as I was reluctant to implicate the individuals who were present that day.

Interview with "Wheat Belly" author

Reblogged from The Bovine:

From Tom Naughton, on the Fat Head blog:

“You all (or y’all, as we say around these parts) submitted so many good questions for Wheat Belly author Dr. William Davis, we decided to make this a two-part Q & A.  We’ll probably have part two ready early next week.

Fat Head: You’re a cardiologist by profession, and yet you just wrote an in-depth book about the negative health effects of consuming wheat.

Health is an important precondition for survival and for service. Could a diet free of wheat radically reduce your dependence on sick care?

Rolling their eyes at history

“As if..”

I am encouraged by the awakening that is occurring in general in the populace about the swift shift in..well everything. There are an increasing number of people jolted awake by alternative news outlets, and information shared by friends who have become truth and liberty activists.Many people are now aware of at least the moral and spiritual rot that is spreading through our culture, the serious decline in the solvency of our country and our currency, and are becoming aware of the increasingly disturbing and provocative actions of our government.

But there are still many hold-out eternal optimists that even when confronted with factual information, logical arguments, and history…merely roll their eyes and dismiss the information without seriously considering it. Their rolling of the eyes communicates a loud non-verbal “As-If”.

This is troubling to the person who is trying to wake a neighbor, to warn them, to enlist their help in halting the downward spiral of our country, economy, and culture. Oftentimes the exchange is between family members or close friends. If the info or advice were about religion, relationships, parenting, career, or any other number of subjects, the speaker would be held as credible. So why, when talking about matters that matter so much, is the most frequent response a rolling of the eyes?

Social engineering experts call this phenomenon ‘cognitive dissonance’; the human coping mechanism whereby we attempt to resolve conflicting information by any means possible, often by rejecting new information irrationally. Often, potentially paradigm-rocking information isn’t evaluated, accepted, or rejected. Such information is just dropped quietly into the abyss of slightly scorned irrelevant disinterest.

Why would people quickly and irrationally dismiss new important information from a person they trust?

“In 1969, Elliot Aronson reformulated the theory by linking it to the self-concept, clarifying that cognitive dissonance arises from conflicts between cognitions when those conflicts threaten a person’s normally positive self-image.”

Doubters may actually get emotional and suprisingly throw out labels such as conspiracy theorist, extremist, racist, un-american, etc. They may wonder why delusional dissidents have the audacity to imply that our currency might fail, that our future might not be anything like our past or present, that our government might be the biggest real threat to our liberty, health, and life…but ultimately, if Aronson is right, they might be reacting defensively because the new information if true, means they could somehow be guilty of complicity in the crimes of the state.

Jesus commented on those who prefer to stay in the dark in John 3:

19 This is the verdict: Light(AE) has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.(AF) 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.(AG) 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.

Why will doubters (or optimists as they like to call themselves) often choose to trust the discredited media and the consistently misleading government instead of their longtime friends and family who have spent time researching the subject at hand and have no benefit to gain from the conversation?

Are conspiracy theory deniers and eternal optimists unaware of the patterns of history (not to mention the sinful nature of man)?

As if…bankers have ever devalued currencies to the horrific detriment of the working classes
As if…a tyrant ever emerged from elected office in a first world country with a strong constitution
As if…military apparatus ever fell into the wrong hands and was used against the taxpayers who fund it
As if…centralization of power and ownership ever caused hardship and crimes against humanity
As if…the war criminals of one empire ever landed in positions of authority and power in another empire
As if…a freedom loving people were ever dispossessed of their land after being disarmed
As if…the media could be captured & used as a tool of control to manufacture consent and stifle dissent
As if…authorities would abuse power and arrest and torment innocent people without due process
As if…a soldier following orders could be convicted as a war criminal for obeying unlawful orders
As if…the well-intentioned citizens of a country could unwittingly support evil
As if…the moral response to an immoral government could be non-compliance
As if…the heros of the bible were often those that defiantly chose to obey God rather than man

It turns out that Einstein was right, “the world is not a dangerous place because of those who do evil, it is dangerous because of those who look on and do nothing”. It is dangerous because of our very human inclination to roll our eyes, not just at our friends, neighbors, and relatives, but at history itself.

I know it’s troubling to deal with rolling eyes and labels from someone who you thought respected you. I understand completely. But we need to press on in telling the truth, educating our neighbors and loved ones. Much is at stake.

Cognitive dissonance addicts and sincere doubters need to step up, process the information, do their own research, and debunk the liberty activists if they can, or join us if they can’t.

In 1991, hired publicist stated that Obama was born in Kenya

Breitbart launched “The Vetting” , we discovered, and now present, the booklet described below–one that includes a marketing pitch for a forthcoming book by a then-young, otherwise unknown former president of the Harvard Law Review
It is evidence–not of the President’s foreign origin, but that Barack Obama’s public persona has perhaps been presented differently at different times.”

Judge Andrew Napolitano has warned Congress not to act “like potted plants” regarding the increased use of unmanned surveillance drones without warrants over US skies by military, government, and law enforcement agencies.

Echoing the recent comments of his Fox News colleague Charles Krauthammer, Napolitano also said that “The first American patriot that shoots down one of these drones that comes too close to his children in his backyard will be an American hero.”
