GEO928: on the one hand, you claim and even bluster about wanting results and solutions, yet within the same realm, mine for rhetoric so obscure and devoid of any conventional logical process that one cannot even assign your attempts for consistency of your opinions to be anything beyond semantically desperate ploys. You utilize code words and buzz words, insinuating and obfuscating in lieu of clarity and of offering points that might support your opinions. Excuse me and Vexari and any others of this board whom might be cubbyholed by your term, “intellectual.” We are forced to conclude that you embrace Doofusim. Its poster child defines Doofusism: Sarah Pain-in-the-arse.
The Tea Party movement mainly was an outgrowth from the camp of Ron Paul supporters. It was quickly urinated out of its vision by Sarah’s thrust and power grab. The ABTT Networks’ description was hijacked. For once, they got it right. Yet, you will maintain that there is no planned opposition in 2010 and beyond. One can safely make that claim behind the curtain of Doofusism. The public-consumption, force-fed, psuedo-ideology of “conservatism,” doesn’t have a monopoly on planned opposition. One simply observes the likes of Dennis Kucinich, being shouted over for the last three years and hung out to dry by the accepted “progressives.” Now the shrill drum beat of the planned-opposition left comes from the conga section of none other than Matt Taibbi. One cannot make this stuff up, but it sure gets eaten up. Simply exchange paper-doll clothes for the rhetoric of Sarah and Matt. Wait, Matt can actually parse a sentence.
The pragmatic and fashionable Twenty-First Century ideology is hogwash, tinted either blue or red, depending on one’s homerism choices. Already, the American sheople are being told that their choices for next year will be Sarah or Jeb Bush vs. Hitlery or The O’Bomber.
Still, you will ooze out that this is a democratic republic/representative democracy. Never mind, that under The Articles of Confederation, unanimous vote was required for change and that even under The Constitution, we have 2/3 and 3/4 votes necessary for change. Thus to cling to your preset opinion, that was sold to you, a redefining of democracy is plopped out. Lincoln was elected twice on a plurality. You meet yourself coming and going. In 1815, what was the democracy for non-land owners, women, blacks, etc? At least, the Indians had and still have sovereignty.
Somehow, so many attempts to debate/discuss/reason to bring a broader understanding and craft dreams for solutions hasn’t been on your plate. No chef seems worthy for you. What have you cooked up? It is communism against capitalism. Sheesh, the very public school system that is spoken for from The Communist Manifesto has engrained that into your mind. These weren’t new with Marx. He simply penned what secret societies had advocated for centuries. That’s the crap that was thrust upon the first colonists that came to this land from Europe. Who laid upon them this dogma? Why it was those trading companies. Your capitalists were the communists. This was no different from the bankers and corporate entities that funded the Bolsheviks. You don’t know what capitalism is. Corporatism is the actual enemy of laissez-faire capitalism. Corporatism is communism. It’s been the political philosophy of choice for decades to bring about monopoly. After years of study, I have gravitated to anarchocapitalism. You dismiss it, because you have never taken the time and effort to study this subject. Yet, you have your opinions about it. If that’s not sheoplism, I don’t know what is.
Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin were positioned members of secret societies. They would move in later years to have a great replica of the Goddess of Reason, the symbol of the French Reign of Terror, brought to this nation and planted in NYC Harbor. Their concept of liberty was and is (the secret societies): destruction of church, of government, and of ownership of personal property. These were among the framers of our government that you pant about. Yet, you rail on me for advocating a state-free society in lieu of one that has rapidly moved toward its goal of a Luciferian oligarchy, not just nationwide, but worldwide. Here’s just one of numerous information sources on America’s Secret Destiny:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2436716892875755103#
Here’s another from one of their own; over sixty years ago:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/431441/Hall-The-Secret-Destiny-of-America-1944
In the ‘80s, while you were playing with yourself, I was an activist working with a network of patriots, especially in the fight against the Con-Con. Someone paid for my membership in the John Birch Society so that I could recruit some of their members to work with us. The JBS is infinitely more anti-communist than you in your fondest wet dream. They usually actually know what they are talking about and document their writings. They also have put your conceptualization of “conservatism” in the streets for decades and spilled the beans about Nixon, Reagan, and Bush, the so-called conservatives. You ought to read The New American some time. I also spent most of the ‘80s and ‘90s and part of the ‘70s studying law. It was actual code, not mere procedure. When one understands how this nation formulated a Uniform Commercial Code not altogether dissimilar than the commercial code that came into the Roman Empire, then one sees how even the Constitution has long been usurped. Corporations have no personal responsibility. Governments incorporated and declared that they were persons that could be aggrieved, but could not be sued; so much for equal protection.
This is not about me being right and/or you being wrong. The so-called Food Safety Act is about to be signed by The O’Bomber. This wasn’t submitted and pushed during the administrations of public-consumption conservatives. Can one imagine the screams if the Ronnie Ray Gun Administration was so seeded and ceded with Monsanto people? Where are all those eco-watch people now? Oh! There’s no need to watch with a liberal. That’s the crap that’s sold and the sheople march on. Vexari and I scream about this stuff and you support the fascist government of Amerikkka. You deny the planned opposition. Well, Baby Cakes, just because this is all beyond your grasp, doesn’t mean that it’s not part of the modern reality. The fantasy world contains the artificial divide between liberals and conservatives. It’s funny on Saturday Night Live but frightening for its continuous consequences.
From The Declaration of Independence:
Todd: well, the FDA, under the auspices of DHS, is now officially the world's most significant terrorist organization, topping even The CIA, as they are now intruding into the lives of the most peaceful of folks.
IxCimi: that is certainly more integrated than woodland plantings. Those of us, who still live in temperate climates, have less choices and I need full sun for my carrots and parsnips. Somehow, most folks think of a "garden" when they hear cultivation. For my brother and me growing up in Connecticut, the woods (forest) were our main garden. (Yes, and I mean pre-Cannabis experimentations.) The edge of the woods and the annual vegetable garden did have a relationship. Here's a good source for identifying suitable plants for forest gardening.

GEO928: well, Happy New Year to you and the rest of the board. It is my duty to inform you that you hold to foundational errors that mar your judgment. I have advanced history and governmental theory to you. You, like the vast majority, hold to mythology beliefs.
Please do not “respond,” to this post, with picking and choosing. Respond to the wholistic and organic sense or decline.
King James I of England, (VI of Scotland) and of the King James Bible fame (or infamy), represented a real monarchy. While he was the “protector” of the Anglican Church, he had reasonable fear of both Puritan and Catholic rebellion. Even though he consolidated power against the legislature, he was responsible for planting the seeds, or at least heavily watering them, or both, of the destruction of the monarchy, in favor of fascism or corprotism. The trading companies, with their charters, were international corporations, in every sense of the word. The lessons of history from the Roman Empire were dust in the archives.
The influencing leaders of the first American colonies were chattel cattle to the trading companies. There were set up in socialistic communities, long before The Communist Manifesto. These were dogmas of secret societies. That is what Marx penned. The first relegation is that the trading companies were capitalists. They certainly weren’t laissez-faire capitalists nor were they anarchocapitalists. They were corprotists. They were granted “personhood” and monopoly by the king. They soon had the English Legislature back in power and got them to pass, among other laws: the Navigation Acts.
America had a secret destiny. There is a plethora of reading material on that subject. The Constitution usurped the Articles of Confederation. Without the Bill of Rights, it was the first deliberately tyrannical government ever formed; by the founders’ own words! Still, people, like Patrick Henry, brought the nation into the rule of law, in spite of the government being a white male, land-owning, oligarchy exclusively. The American Revolution was NOT against King George. He was a mere weak puppet for the fascist government. Jefferson’s plagiaristic declaration was a pompous show for the masses who were not familiar with Cicero, Plutarch, Tacitus, Locke, Polybius, Machiavelli, et al.
Often attributed to Ben Franklin is this quote:
GEO928: so you deflect from the discussion to make it about me. This is not a democratic republic. It wasn't meant to be. It's a constitutional republic; which is vastly different.
This nation, as using the example of The Plimouth (Plymouth) Colony, had immediate individuals who wanted a state-free society. They were called strangers. They were non-separatists. None of them signed the Plymouth Compact.
Before long, there were locations, in this infant nation, that operated under being a state-free society. They opposed the Quaker Laws and had influence on having them repealed. State-free societies had existed in Ireland and Scotland and numerous other places. In recent times, most of rural Somalia, operated in this manner.
The fascist government of this nation is such a far cry from the foundational basics that amazed and even envied other nations. I, being an anarchocapitalist, abhor the deprivation of the enjoyment of my personal property. I understand the intrusion of the state. I have clarity where others have chains. Vexari also has clarity on this.
Apparently, you're going to believe what you want to believe, regardless of facts. Homegrown terrorism is an example. Please don't come here and rag on posters (which is what you have done), and then get all defensive when we try to straighten you out. If you want to honestly debate, then do so. If not, I wonder why you keep wringing noses here.
excel: toads are great slug control. I learned my lesson, in Africa, about allowing chickens too close to cultivated vegetation. They'll mess up berms and mulching schemes. I had to fix my banana beds every day due the chickens. Now they're great around cattle grazing grounds.

GEO928: the point was that the so-called Islamic threat is American-made. This is not to let off the hook the actual Islamic terrorists. However, they are a scant percentage compared to those killing operations based on Israeli and American entities. Your childish spin and smokescreens cannot negate this fact.
I care about this nation and its heritage. I hold those responsible for crapping upon it and its populace accountable. You want to give those a free pass that fit into your preset ideology. That makes you both a crapper and a crappee.
sumisu: even if we got some, it's a long walk out to the garden. I have several plastic 55-gallon drums. The protected shed is as good as a root cellar. Growing parsnips is like owning a pick-up truck. One always has friends. Not too shabby this year; I got to keep about a third of my crop. It was another bumper year for the carrots.
I did a new experiment this year. I skimmed algae from the waterways and lugged it up the hill in a wheelbarrow. It made some interesting compost mixtures. I plan on using it for next year's tomatoes.
Californians need water, but desalination projects are bogged down
Officials blame the slow progress on red tape, a disorganized local industry and environmental opposition.
December 04, 2010|By Tiffany Hsu, Los Angeles Times
Chugging a cool glass of California tap? It could be seawater flowing from that faucet.
Desalination — the process of making salty water drinkable — is now producing a growing share of the national water supply as officials scramble to hydrate booming populations with dwindling fresh supply.
"The availability of water is lessening and the cost is going up, to the point that desalination in California is becoming viable as an option," said Paul Shoenberger, manager of the Mesa Consolidated Water District in Costa Mesa.
More than 15,000 plants are churning out tens of billions of drinkable gallons daily in more than 100 countries.
But desalination has been lagging in California, where water woes are especially dire, industry and government officials say. They blame the slow progress on a disorganized local industry, litigious environmentalists and a thorny approvals process.
Connecticut-based developer Poseidon Resources has been trying to build a $650-million plant in Carlsbad, but the project has wallowed in red tape for more than a decade. It also has battled a dozen legal challenges.
The facility, which would sit beside the Encina Power Station, would churn out 50 million gallons of drinkable water a day — 10% of San Diego County's needs.
The facility may start construction in March, executives said. But for now, as Poseidon tries to untangle the red tape, a small pilot project on the site is producing about 40,000 gallons of drinkable water.
"Water is the lifeblood of Southern California, but the industry here has not evolved along with the growth in technology," said Scott Maloni, a vice president with Poseidon.
After decades in development, desalination plants can now remove 99.9% of the salt content in water. The process is mostly used for seawater but can also apply to river water and irrigation runoff. In the last 15 years, the cost of some components has dropped 30%.
Although still not cheap, the cost of desalinated water has been cut by more than half since 1998, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Some estimates peg the price of 1,000 gallons at roughly $3, compared with pennies for the same amount of fresh water.
Most countries, including the U.S., use reverse osmosis, which pushes the water at high pressure through a membrane that separates the salt from the liquid. Another method, thermal desalination, is popular in the Middle East and involves evaporating the water to leave the salt behind.

Howdy all, I got to enjoy my first parsnips of the season with a reasonable cache ahead for the coming months.
This article on bees is a couple of years old, but is quite viable.
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=8436
GEO928: your opinions on these matters are just that: your empty opinions. It dawned on me that you’re simply too damned lazy to do any substantial and factual research on any subject that goes contrary to your preset and preconceived opinions from your vast herding with sheople groupthink. You manage to graze up the public-consumption politics meant to control the chattel cattle and contentedly ruminate the bytes as a bite. Zbignew Brzezinski boasted of how he goaded the Soviet Union into attacking Afghanistan. Too bad you never read one of his books: The Grand Chessboard. http://www.takeoverworld.info/grandchessboard.html
If you were actually sincere, then this You Tube link might whet your appetite:
Disturbing new information that I just learned today was the radical changes that took place in the banking industry/credit card processing, etal, immediately following 9/11. Oh well, just another convenient coincidence.
GEO928: the Mujahideen was essentially the brainchild of Zbigniew Brzezinski. He created them, armed them, and funded them under the Jimmie Earl Administration. He then advanced Ronnie Ray Gun to sign off on a massive increase in their arming, funding, and deployment.
The U.S. has been the prominent global aggressor and warmonger for two hundred years. All one has to do is to study up. Elements of what we call our government have been long responsible for setting up and throwing down tyrants. Saddam Hussein was a typical example.
False-flag operations have worked so well in the past that they are now run with greater frequency, since folks like you are in such denial. The world's leading terrorist organization is headquartered in Langley, Virginia. They run a two trillion dollar a year drug empire. This nation was plunged into Viet Nam, simply because the CIA bought out the Southeast Asia drug empire of France. It all goes on and on because the sheople are willfully poisoned in all aspects.
GEO928: the reality has been your condescension toward posters on this board. In your conceit and arrogance, you have attempted to force-feed upon this board the artificial talking points and psuedo-debating and the planned opposition of the approved political parties and ideologies. This board was created to be a serious alternative to boards such as ZTTP. It was never for trading slogan salvos or high-handedness. It was for in-depth debate and reasoning. From the iBox:
FJ: good stuff, my friend. Thanks.
GEO928: all your ploys of sophistry, aside, you know, quite exactingly, that I’m not "an average anarchist," but rather an anarchocapitalist: being a responsible self-governing individual and an advocate of state-free society. Your paranoid innuendo that I’m something else is indicative of your general and specific lack of understanding of governmental theory. I have observed that you loathe thinking that Vexari has a better grasp of these matters than yourself. Consider this post that he made:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=51838129
I gave you a simple link in the post that you responded to and got religious on us: observing The Passover that Benito Mussolini considered the state to be the master and not the servant and that personal liberties where nonsense. You grouse about the “nanny state,” but you support the nanny state. It’s merely a different nanny.
You absolutely missed that dialectics and those behind the curtain and their most trusted toadies are practicing the concepts of Hegel, in 2010. Marx simply wrote of multi-century-old dogmas of secret societies. Now who bankrolled Marx, et al? Why it was industrialists and public-consumption capitalists. You are simply a commie lover, but the scales have not yet fallen from your eyes. You are no different from the liberals who you decry. Your goals are the same. The so-called difference is all in the packaging. A statist is a statist is a statist. If it looks like a gun, feels like a gun, and shoots like a gun, then it’s a gun.
Politics, contrary to your opinions, is part of the public-consumption pap fed to sheople, such as yourself. You’ve been had. When one knows how the game is played, then it’s Elementary 101 that Ronnie Ray Gun was a commie and a liberal.
Try to respond with actual reasoning; adhering to principles of logic, instead warmed-over slogans and phrases. TIA
Hey all, dropping in to say, "Hello." We had our first frost this week. It won't be long before I pull up the parsnips. There's never enough.
This actually looks like a decent play for next week. I'm largely viewing the Williams %R here.
FJ: I haven't forgotten you and I've played this puppy a few times lately. Nothing dramatic, a reminder to myself of some of our future hope.
GEO928: it may be inconvenient for you to study and absorb or, at least, provide cogent debate for these points, but you are then merely fulfilling Vexari's assertion that you are deflecting. He is correct; you know?
Maybe, you should do more study on the state and statism. Here's a link. Try not to get an "F" with the ensuing quiz.

moxa1: you wrote:
“Republicans are the worst scourge ever to infest this country.” That’s some impressive hyperbole, but hardly true. I encourage that this board’s iBox be comprehended and adhered to. This history of this nation’s political manipulations go back to before the first European settler set foot upon this land. The British legislature was into advanced fascism and statism, even before it was known or fashionable to be fascist. The oligarchical machinations limited governmental theory debate and true opposition. In many aspects, the Republican and Democrat Parties of today are really warmed over nuances of the Whig Party of yore. According to your theory, Keith Obermann is above partisan balance.
The successful working of numerous Hegelian Dialectics have the populace never checking who is behind the curtain and actually engaging in chauvinistic homerism as to rooting for Republican/Democrat; liberal/conservative theses/antitheses. Meanwhile, globalism was firmly embedded in the likes of Founding Father “saints,” Jefferson, Madison, and Franklin. Even as a young teenager, I had already figured out that the Democrats were the party of racism. It was axiomatic. But then again, I wasn’t swayed by groupthink. I’m not giving any pass to the Republicans, but let’s get serious and real here.
The fascists/statists have long chosen socialism/communism and their neo-tags: liberal/progressive. The only majority in America is irresponsible people. If you want to claim that they are liberal/progressive, then knock yourself out. It is the state that is the scourge. The state, the last time that I looked, is the darling of the garden-variety liberal/progressive. And that, of course, makes them all fascists. Since they are not “old school, “ then we must conclude that they are neofascists.
One is either part of the problem or part of the solution. There’s hardly anyone on the political landscape today, outside of Ron Paul, who is actually consistent and studied. But then again, so many people have been mass herded into “issue corrals.” Yeppers, almost everyone has issues. Today, it is even chic to have issues. Well, I have issues with people and groups having issues.
Having a quite uncertain schedule lately, I wanted to post now and not risk missing out. October 21st is woofer's earthday/birthday.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo let the good times rollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!
The lack of momentum is certainly keeping the daily volume quite low. I wonder as to the real future of this entity.
Pretty hairy PPS movement lately. This might expand volume through encouraging swing and daytraders.
Just letting everyone know that I'm well and alive. Keep the faith, but be sure to duck.
