Son of a Farmer

“Tug on anything at all, and you’ll find it connected to everything else in the universe.” – John Muir

Greetings, my fellow liberators. Signed a contract with a publishing company earlier this year. I will let you know when and where the book is available (May/June 2010.) The book deals with commercial agriculture’s strain on our resources as well as what the farmer is up against via legislation and corporate control. It gets right to the jugular of it all. Help spread the word around the cosmic prairie.

If these aren’t the precursor days of a what will be a very drawn-out, much needed revolution, I don’t know what is. As economies crumble, oil prices soar, and unemployment rises, this is a recipe for worldwide chaos. Many countries like Greece are leading the way. My question is, are the American people ready for such a drastic transition?
Obviously Mr. Joe Stack was. The 53-year-old businessman who flew a small airplane into a building full of IRS employees had apparently seen enough of the nonsense. His suicide letter was not one from a lunatic but rather a rational man who chose to die in an act of vengeance rather than live in suffering. Perhaps it was simply misguided rage. Perhaps it was simply what he wanted to do for a very long time. But Stack acted out what many of us have felt for a very long time – rage against the system. Factor in a bomb exploded in a Morgan Stanley building in Greece the week before, and it appears the masses are yearning to breathe free once again.
As events continue to spiral out-of-control, more citizens will lose control of life-long emotions held within. The comfortably-numb entrancement of everyday life is starting to lose its sex appeal. Everywhere you go, more people are tired of government corruption, tired of corporate control, and tired of big boy banking robbing us blind. It is apparent We the People have had enough bullshit. Even something so small as a little plane flown by one man into one building may be in the grand scheme of the universe, it may very well be the initial spark that burns the proverbial forest. If not, it was certainly one hell of a wake-up call for those on both sides of the barbed wire fence.

Thousands of Greek farmers continue to block major highways throughout the country, protesting higher tax rates and demanding change in government legislation. For those of you who were a part of the Agriculture Movement in the 1970s, this ought to bring back some memories. This has been going on for one month, costing the country more than $25 million a day.

Not exactly a warming title, but at least we have one political leader telling it like it is. Paul lays it all on the line in his latest video, forecasting what’s ahead due to our government’s inept abilities as well as the Federal Reserve and Wall Street’s greed.
It is unfortunate more Americans did not take Paul’s bid for presidency more serious. He is the only one making sense rather than continuing the same old lies and empty promises to the American people.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any crazier, another test-tube company full of insane scientists and greedy CEOs step up and totally redeem themselves. Two companies are making plans to introduce a genetically-modified forest by splicing in DNA of eucalyptus trees. Someone please tell me this isn’t real, because I’m about to lose my genetically-modified mind.
