Hello Michael

Just taking time out from my riddiculously busy schedule to say “hello” and how is life in the US of A.

The honey flow is in full production and we can’t keep up with making supers.

We have just successfully registered with the new Quality Care Commission, a neccessary process for care home owners. This means less time doing the things that nourish the soul and spending more time being welded to the computer.

I was so saddened to hear about the BP oil problem. Such folly.

Blessings and Namaste from the UK

My son and I are both members of the International Association of Stage and Theatrical Employees Union, The last two days we have been working on the Motivational Speakers Inc Show in Beaumont Texas featuring Rudolph Guillani and Sara Palin, What at trip that has been, Ms. Palin was the only speaker that READ every word of her presentation from a Podium, facing the side of the crowd packed with Tea Partiers and was as uncomfortable as you might expect. I feel so sorry for her, as she really is dysfunctional as a Public Speaker and in spite of the obvioius “loading” of the audience was totally incapable of getting her Folksy side to show. The audience at large found the large Tea Party contingent out of line and had no patience with her at all. She was, by the way, wearing RED faux leather and looked so completely out of place it was truly sad, I believe her 15 minutes are about up and she seems to be crashing and burning as a politial force. Just our observations of the event. Peace and Light, happy Health Care Reform for those of you in the US.

Amen, Brother! It’s finally spring here at my humble abode in Paducah, Ky. I have a mess of a ‘gray water’ system in the back yard and a base for an urban teepee with an imaginary cryogenics lab underneith (for keep my beer cold.) Yeah I’m a hypocrite but i drink in moderation in the fear of the Lord, from which I have received so much comfort. I’m a fornicater too with a lovely gf and my lead guitarist, drummer, his wife and 2-year-old live here, too. The home is being converted into a full-blown media center which y’all should be able to tune into in a couple of weeks. (..and the creeks don’t rise.)

We play a new genre of music we call ‘metabilly’ which combines Linux humor with christian slang and bird talk about weeds and bugs and things. As Kentuckians, we are proud boasters with a lot to sing about, especially since Jesus has come in to live with us here at the Paducah Homestead Experiment 2807. Here at Fairmont Farm and Studio, we work on a crawdad – sugar beet symbiotic testbed. We have a neighborly connection with the United States Department of Agriculture and a plan for local domain stewardship of the Island Creek Watershed Commission.

The Keyline Design Principle (singular) of Brother P. A. Yeomans from whom I borrow this handle helps us to integrate shared maps at http:maps.google.com/ into a community mapping system under development at OpenKollab -join_plz_

Namaste all, I both understand James request and will comply with it as soon as possible, I think it is an excellent suggestion and will facilitate communication. The use of avatars is somewhat new to me and I do think that it is a practice that has great potential for enhancing the growth of virtual media,. I see myself as a farmer hence the image that i have utilized here,. I do find it somewhat more appealing to communicate with People rather that ideas or representations. So, off to search for an image of myself, I don’t really have a lot, I primarily take photographs, and very seldom appear in them. If nothing else I will have my son take a current image of me and upload it in the morning. It is late evening here now. We will perhaps take an photo in the beauty of sunrise light early tomorrow. Thank you for the image.

Peace and light.

Michael

Namaste Gill,(Rainbowbridge),

I appreciate the comments on the Monsanto issue, one of our projects here at the collective is the dissemination of information about large Agri-Business’ and Monsanto is at the top of this list followed closely by ADM. We are adamantly opposed to GMO’s of any type be they food products, animal products or biological products. We feel that from a spiritual point of view they are at the very best a heresy in the eyes of any spiritual or religious tradition or pathway.

The fact that Empirical Science has within the last year directly linked Monsanto’s GMO corn products to major organ and system failure and they are currently being approved by the FDA of the U.S. for the introduction of a number of other seed products that are essentially modified in the same manner is quite alarming to us all and should be a red flag when it comes to our faith in our systemic regulatory agencies and their true allegiances. I believe it was Bob Dylan that once said “Money doesn’t talk, it Swears……”

We will endeavor to stay on top of these issues and to spread this information as far and as wide as we can, The cost in human lives and the despair left behind the suicides in the Himalaya region is only the beginning, As long as Multi-National Corporations are allowed to do their research in what are essentially unregulated areas of the world we are all threatened and it is imperative that this not be tolerated.

We welcome any news that you, or any of our network, comes across being forwarded to us and we will see to it that it get’s the exposure that it deserves. The press in the U.S. has been decidedly quiet about these issues so it is up to us, the souls that share this beautiful blue planet to protect each other from these attacks on our sovereignty as the stewards of our gift.

Peace and light be with you all,

Michael

Hello Michael

Regarding Monsanto

A particularly disturbing piece of writing and one so close to your own heart as a farmer. I can only begin to imagine the sheer desparation and dispair of those Indian farmers ~ left with no other solution than to commit suicide. You say that this organisation also holds power in the States?

Tell us more about this organisation, they sound like a big machine who have a lot to answer for.

Warm Regards & Namaste

Gill
