TRUTH MATTERS

Three cheers for Hungary! Banning Monsanto GMO corn. http://planetsave.com/2011/07/21/hungary-destroys-all-monsanto-gmo-maize-fields/ Gotta love it! But you know … you too can put Monsanto on a much needed “diet” by doing something relatively simple … (a) buy a freezer so that you can (b) stop buying meat, milk and eggs from the (Monsanto supplied) grocery store, and start (c) buying all your meat, milk, cheese, eggs and chicken from a local farmer who raises these items on PASTURE, not GMO corn and soybean feed.  Some may ask,”Why is GMO bad?  Can’t we feed more people with GMO feed?”  The answer is – in the short term yes, but in the long term no.  In fact, the current agricultural paradigm of row cropping is destroying our farmland and thus, our future ability to feed ourselves.  Adopting a new (actually ancient) agricultural paradigm centered around perennial pasture and grazing herbivore herds does the exact opposite – it actually reverses land degradation and will allow us to feed more people over the long term.

A friend recently posted a warning about Whooping Cough (Pertussis) and of course, the mainstream medical community is pushing vaccines to stop it. But are vaccines the answer? I think not. I have been gradually accumulating evidence for a scientific case AGAINST all vaccinations. Let me share some of it with you.

1) Animals in the wild do not get vaccinations of any kind and they do just fine.
2) Joel Salatin, quite possibly the most successful farmer in America right now by a number of measures, does not vaccinate ANY of his animals for anything (and gives no antibiotics) and his animals do just fine.
3) Antoine Bechamp, a rival of Louis Pasteur, taught in the 19th century that microbes are not intrinsically pathogenic. They become pathogenic because of unnatural “terrain” – the environment in the body because of an unnatural diet, stress, etc. I was introduced to Bechamp by Joel Salatin, who uses his principles to keep his animals healthy with no medication.
4) Now over 100 years later, mainstream science is finally starting to discover what Bechamp proposed way back then. Read more »

According to KevinMD.com, it would take about 200 – 747 jet crashes per year to equal the preventable deaths in hospitals …

… statistically speaking hospitals are just about the most dangerous places to be in the United States. Three times as many people die every year due to medical errors in hospitals as die on our highways — 100,000 deaths compared to 34,000. The Journal of the American Medical Association reports that nearly 100,000 people die annually in hospitals from medical errors. Of this group, 80,000 die from hospital acquired infections, many of which can be prevented. Given the above number of admissions that means that 1 out of every 370 people admitted to a hospital dies due to medical errors. So hospitals are very dangerous places.

It would take about 200 747 airplanes to crash annually to equal 100,000 preventable deaths. Imagine the American outcry if one 747 crashed every day for 200 consecutive days in the U.S. The airlines would stand before the nation and the world in disgrace. Currently in our non-transparent health care delivery system, Americans have no way of knowing which hospitals are the most dangerous. We simply take uninformed chances with our lives at stake.

It has recently dawned on me that Planet Earth is in big trouble and needs saving. And much sooner than I ever dreamed before. And in ways I had not realized before. People have often asked me what I think about Global Warming and I have not known how to answer.  Now I do.  Yes, Global Warming is real, but the biggest problem is not burning of fossil fuels.  The biggest problem is man made desertification caused by tillage (think corn, soybeans and wheat in the US), range burning and improper grazing management.  As for man saving the planet, yes, I have read Revelation and I have always been aware that God himself will intervene on Planet Earth at some point. But we do not know when this will occur and Scripture also teaches us in James 1:27 that “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” A simple question has recently occurred to me. How can we look after widows and orphans (and thus have true religion) if we destroy our farmland and rangeland and cannot feed ourselves? The Read more »

… in Britain … maybe 100 years in Europe according to a recent Telegraph story …

British farming soil could run out within 60 years, leading to a catastrophic food crisis and drastically higher prices for consumers, scientists warn. Fertile soil is being lost faster than it can be replenished and will eventually lead to the “topsoil bank” becoming empty, an Australian conference heard. Chronic soil mismanagement and over farming causing erosion, climate change and increasing populations were to blame for the dramatic global decline in suitable farming soil, scientists said. An estimated 75 billion tonnes of soil is lost annually with more than 80 per cent of the world’s farming land “moderately or severely eroded”, the Carbon Farming conference heard. A University of Sydney study, presented to the conference, found soil is being lost in China 57 times faster than it can be replaced through natural processes. In Europe that figure is 17 times, in America 10 times while five times as much soil is being lost in Australia. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/agriculture/farming/6828878/Britain-facing-food-crisis-as-worlds-soil-vanishes-in-60-years.html

Insane Michigan government announces plan to destroy ranch livestock based on hair color and arrest hundreds of ranchers as felons

(NaturalNews) The state of Michigan is only days away from engaging in what can only be called true “animal genocide” — the mass murder of ranch animals based on the color of their hair. It’s all part of a shocking new “Invasive Species Order” (ISO) put in place by Michigan’sDepartment of Natural Resources(DNR). This Invasive Species Order suddenly and shockingly defines virtually all open-range pigs raised by small family farms to be illegal “invasive species,” and possession of just one of these animals is now a felony crime in Michigan, punishable by up to four years in prison.

The state has said it will “destroy” these pigs beginning in April, potentially byraiding local farms with government-issued rifles, then shooting the pig herds while arresting the members of the family and charging them with the “crime” of raising pigs with the wrong hair color. This may truly be a state-sponsored serial animal killing spree.

Apparently the factory pig farming industry has hired the mercenaries at the Michigan DNR to wipe our their competition – family farms!

Wow. This makes my blood boil!

The planet is getting skinned. While many worry about the potential consequences of atmospheric warming, a few experts are trying to call attention to another global crisis quietly taking place under our feet. Call it the thin brown line. Dirt. On average, the planet is covered with little more than 3 feet of topsoil — the shallow skin of nutrient-rich matter that sustains most of our food and appears to play a critical role in supporting life on Earth. “We’re losing more and more of it every day,” said David Montgomery, a geologist at the University of Washington. “The estimate is that we are now losing about 1 percent of our topsoil every year to erosion, most of this caused by agriculture.“

I posted this on Facebook late last year, but I’m copying it to my blog so it is searchable by everyone.

AMAZING THINGS I LEARNED THIS YEAR (In no particular order)
1) The plow and the tiller are two of our greatest enemies. They are destroying our soil and hence, our ability to feed ourselves in the future.
2) The Native Americans (whom Europeans displaced with our guns and our plows) had a sustainable food system. We would be wise to rediscover many of their ways. Read more »

Pastor Kong Hee gives a follow up talk to his Chinese New Year talk about God in Ancient China. Part I shows how the knowledge of the One True God, worshipped by Jews and Christians, was written into the ancient Chinese language. Now this video gives much more detail about the ancient Chinese worship and how closely it paralleled the worship of the Ancient Hebrews. Apparently, there was an emperor in China named Kang Xi who proclaimed Christianity to be the religion of the whole empire. I never knew this before. One of the most amazing things in this video is Pastor Hee’s claim that the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ were all recorded in Chinese documents at the time they occurred. He gives references to the original works. That would be a very interesting follow up study.

Many home schoolers that I know don’t immunize their kids. But did you know that when immunizations were first introduced in England, there were prominent scientists who spoke out against them? One such scientist was Alfred Russel Wallace, whose Theory of Natural Selection prompted Darwin to publish his own theory. Chapter 18 of his book “The Wonderful Century” is entitled “Vaccination a Delusion – It’s Penal Enforcement a Crime” … read it online for free here … LINK … quite an interesting read.
