Dear List Members,

 

Situation: The above article is somewhat decent in

that it gives one some good data as to just one of the major situations

facing the world today. If you read between the lines, push aside the

fluff, it is obvious we are in the middle of a severe

recession right NOW! Job loss can be catastrophic on a family. When a

person looses his "work", it seems as if his reason for living, his

purpose for living, is severely blunted, and confusion sets in. If

this happens to too many people, chaos will become the order of the

day. To listen to the major candidates of the up and coming election,

you'd think we were talking about a tea party the way they temporize on

it all. If it weren't so sad, it'd be ludicrous. It is just too

obvious that Clinton, Obama, and McCain are in it for the power, and

couldn't give a rat's ass for the American people. Society is an

interconnected activity. Don't for one moment think that the Economy

isn't connected to our present wars being waged in the Middle East, or

the plummeting Health Conditions here in the US and abroad, or the

social unrest around the World. It is.

Solution: Plant a garden. One of our list members

(Cory Brennan) is part of a Co-op in which one of the purposes is to

introduce Permaculture techniques to urban situations. This is a very

worthwhile project and needs backing. Something like this could make

the difference between surviving and starving to death. While the

Internet is still up and running NOW is the time to network with others

to get these kinds of projects happening in your area. Make sure you

plant some medicinal herbs like Garlic, Cilantro, Turmeric, Onions,

Echinacea, Cayenne, and Lobelia in this garden of yours. If you live

in the city, do some roof top gardening. Connect up with local schools

and start the kids on these kinds of projects. Kids LOVE these kinds

of projects, and it's a great excuse to get them away from the TV which

only rots their minds. Go for a drive in the country and make friends

with a farmer. Better yet if you have a little cash, form your own

Co-op and get a couple of families together, buy a little acreage, and

start your own plot. Get creative, do it for fun. But plant that

garden.

 

Yours in Knowledge, Health and Freedom,

 

Doc

 

PS. I believe that the Mojave Academy School in

the middle of the wilds of New Mexico is now hiring. They are also

into self sufficiency, and doing things in a natural way. Anyone

interested in more information on their programs, and their phone # can

contact my son Bryan off list at: BryanShillington He'll

put you in touch with them.
