This is one of the most important films I have ever seen.  Symphony of the Soil explores all that we have been ignoring in regards to the Earth, to growing food, to being careful with what we have been given, to seeing how our treatment of the Earth comes back to us, to seeing how what we do now impacts our children, grandchildren, and their children, and so on….

Important points for me were Bob Cannard’s statement on how we have to give back to the Earth.  We use the soil to grow the food, which takes nutrients from the soil, but then pour chemicals on it that kill the gentle Symphony of microorganisms and food produced by plants to benefit those microorganisms.  As they note in the film, this is not sustainable.  We will eventually run out of topsoil and as Vandana Shiva notes, even with adequate rainfall, there can still be drought when the balance is disturbed by not allowing the plants to do the work they were designed to do.  In other words, if we just get out of the way, Nature will take care of itself.

I had to cringe, however, when someone (forget who) said that it’s a problem when Thistles start to grow.  Thistles have their contribution towards life, as well.  They are actually known to help detox the body and are specifically good for the liver.  It is scientifically noted that thistle helps regenerate liver tissue.

I love at the end Dr. Hillel explains the Hebrew interpretation of Adama (soil) and Hava (sp?) (life) and how the original Bible was misinterpreted to say for we humans to conquer the Earth….but rather, for us to serve and preserve.  That makes more sense to me — as a command to overpower and destroy what was given to us doesn’t make sense at all.

And I am always in awe at Creation and how I felt closer to God in nature than anywhere else.  I sense that those intimately involved in the Earth also see it, and feel it, too.

Story here.

As they say in the article…it’s a dark day for democracy when you have to get your news from leaks of this monumental power grab by the elitists.

My condolences to the Bidens on their loss.

Okay, I’m not promoting Winding River herbals, but with that in mind, she has posted a wonderful poem of deep thought:

‘The Journey’ by Mary Oliver

That inner voice…that has been drummed out of us by messages of the outer world…is still there…warning us of danger.

The mind is engaged, but the heart and soul have been diminished and ignored….

Yep.  You can’t make this stuff up.  Of all the bonehead laws I have seen, this has got to be in the top ten.  Apparently, the Indiana legislature hasn’t got enough to do if they can sit around and make a law that slaps a $500 fine on a law abiding citizen for…obeying the law…while at the same time encouraging people who are already breaking the law to be even bigger (insert favorite expletive here).

So…anyone wanna bet this will lead to more road rage?

How about the four lane highway near us that people are already using as a race track — I can foresee it becoming more DANGEROUS — not safer.  What a load of horse manure.

It is already becoming more hazardous crossing the highway due to the excessive speeding….I can hardly wait to see what happens after July 1.

I mean, there are times when it is congested and I purposely drive in the left lane so that I am at least a couple of car lengths behind someone.  Isn’t that the safe thing to do? And I have had people come up on me very quickly when I could not get over into the right lane.  They were riding my bumper trying to intimidate me into going faster.  I kept my legal pace and got over into the other lane when it was safe to do so.

Why would these idiots make such a stupid law?  Methinks perhaps they have been making “job hunting junkets” to Colorado to buy some funny cigarettes….

Boy, I didn’t see *this* coming. /snarky to the extreme.

Plastic here, plastic there, plastic everywhere.

I think the best way to understand this is:  put a piece of plastic wrap covering your face.  Can you breathe?  Neither can the ocean and all the life it contains….

It disgusts me that I even have to buy products with plastic containers.  I want to use reusabe containers such as glass.  I think most folks believe that if they put their plastics in recycling bins, that makes it okay.  Plastic is not really recyclable — they can make it into different products, but they cannot get rid of it.  I don’t think most folks understand this.

For the record, I use baking soda, cinnamon, and cloves for my toothpaste. It works very well — better than commercial toothpaste.  My teeth actually feel clean afterwards.

And there are a number of natural things one can use for facial care:  lemon juice or honey or egg whites for exfoliating; coconut or safflower or avocado oil for moisturizing.

And you might recall the deodorant I use:  a half and half mixture of coconut oil and chemical-free baking soda.  (No plastic container to throw into the ocean).

Lastly, I also use olive oil soap not only for the body, but as a shampoo, as well.  It lathers quite well and leaves my hair soft and shiny.  No bottle to throw into the ocean.

And the journey goes on…

Dahr Jamail has a piece up exploring the Navy’s determination to ruin what’s left of the salmon industry and humans, too, while they’re at it.

(from the electro-magnetic warfare link):

On October 4, 1971, the Naval Medical Research Institute published a research report written by Dr. Zorach Glaser, of which Truthout acquired a copy. The title of the report is “Bibliography of Reported Biological Phenomena (‘Effects’) and Clinical Manifestations Attributed to Microwave and Radio-Frequency Radiation.”

Given that the Navy continues to claim that their EMR warfare training exercises will have “no significant impact” on humans, it is interesting to note that their own research paper’s abstract states:

More than 2,000 references on the biological responses to [microwave and] radio frequency and microwave radiation, published up to June 1971, are included in the bibliography. (Three supplementary listings bring the number of citation to more than 2,300.) Particular attention has been paid to the effects on man of non-ionizing radiation at these frequencies.

The Navy’s paper lists well over 100 negative biological effects caused by microwave and radio frequency radiations, of which here is a partial list from their report: corneal damage, tubular degeneration of testicles, brain heating, alteration of the diameter of blood vessels, liver enlargement, altered sex ratio of births, decreased fertility, sterility, altered fetal development, decreased lactation in nursing mothers, altered penal function, death, cranial nerve disorders, seizures, convulsions, depression, insomnia, hand tremors, chest pain, thrombosis, alteration in the rate of cellular division, anorexia, constipation, altered adrenal cortex activity, chromosome aberrations, tumors, altered orientation of animals, birds and fish, loss of hair, and sparking between dental fillings.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The introduction of the report states that “researchers have discovered a number of biological dysfunctions that can occur in living organisms” and that “exposure of the human body to RF/MW [radio frequency/microwave] radiation has many biological implications” that range from “innocuous sensation of warmth to serious physiological damage to the eye,” and added that “there is also evidence that RF/MW radiation can cause cancer.”

The report goes on to acknowledge that RF/MW radiation “is known to have a biological effect on animals and humans” and lists biological impacts like “damage to major organs, disruption of important biological processes, and the potential risk of cancer,” among many others which include “mutagenic effects,” “cardiovascular effects,” negative effects on chromosomes, and notes that “Soviet investigators claim that exposure to low-level radiation can induce serious CNS [central nervous system] dysfunctions.”

I can attest to the destruction that EMF’s can do to a person, especially the more vulnerable populations.  When I was really sick, I could not talk on a cell phone for more than 20 minutes or else I would get a migraine within 24 hours. It was clearly connected to EMF’s as they still affect me if there are enough electronics in the room.   These are the reasons I do not use cell phones (along with loss of privacy).

As far as sparking –before they removed my amalgams, the dentist took a measurement of the “sparking” of my amalgams.  He accurately predicted that my tooth would have decay underneath the dental filling, even though the filling was intact.  And it did.  Clear down to the root.

While I’m reading these reports, I think about Dane Wigington, of geoengineeringwatch.org, and his questioning the murder of John Wheeler, who had an outstanding government career (see the Climate Engineering, Weather Warfare video at about 40:00, he mentions Wheeler.)  Wheeler was a good man, not unlike Birch Bayh, who had a conscience and was supposedly going to expose a program that he felt was wrong.  Here is a detailed blog on John Wheeler’s death.  Given that EMF’s can cause heart arrythmias, it is not so “out there” to think that it caused the bird deaths in Arkansas and around the globe (plus the fish deaths).
