Food - Land - Indigenous - People - Community

The hungry people in North Africa, and around the world, are only hungry due to overpopulation, and because they do not have adequate Food Supply Resiliency, and they are all responsible for maintaining that, and keeping the balance, as they extend their population limits very carefully, one head at a time, considering the possibilities of droughts and famine that might result in poor planning, or maxing out on population prematurely, as in before the Eco-Logical Infrastructure has been put into place, meaning Food Supply Resilience, which every community must have mastered, individually, as in people got to solve it individually, before they can be allowed to proceed with the gluttony of premature overpopulation, and going into debt, without limits, in a very harsh desert world, with very harsh desert world limitation consequences.

That is the real source of these Food Riots and Revolutions, that food prices on things like wheat and corn have doubled, partly because of the very normal weather fluctuations, which have if anything, only been intensified by Global Warming, which is another inescapable true thing, which they must begin to plan for, individually, not as dependents on the Global Plan, but as responsible parents, who plan things individually, and as the Tribal Elders of their Communities, who plan for things individually, which is necessary, if they are going to ever hope to be considered, to be world class societies, who can ever be counted on, to take care of their own needs, in a self sustainable manner, which is required, as you may well know, even by their own standards, for them to be at all respectable, and honorable, meaning that even in their own corrupted old world cultures, a respectable person, is one who can take care of his or her own needs, and those of his or her own family or community.

Creating Adequate Food Supply Resiliency, would require enormous new changes, like supporting more local food production, in the form of more school gardens, to teach our children about how food is grown, and more community gardens, and learning Permaculture, which is why we must all become Permaculture Training Centers.

Mutualism, not Global Dependency, means that everybody kicks in, first, from the standpoint of Universal Self Sufficiency, on the land, as Homesteaders, who are not too good to get their hands dirty, even those of us who are rapidly becoming world class leaders, as many of us are in this group, but we still must be humble enough to take some time to feed the soil, and to heal the Earth, but not ever to capitulate to the monetary forces of need and greed.

The important thing to understand here, is that Food is not just a Thing, which can be hoarded. Food is an ongoing Eco-Logical Process, which must be nourished and protected, as the Stewards of the Earth.

Food comes only from a healthy and naturally re-productive EcoSystem, ladies, and as a result of that, and it is not ever to be in complete disregard for that, as if money was the key, to every womans happiness, which has been defined as being having complete independence from the men, when that is not even close, and so we have to put something into, the Food Exchange Community, which is the Natural Exchange of Nutrients and Resources, first, if we ever want to take something out of it, within the Natural Order of Priorities, not to give back, in the negative, after the fact, which so many people now think is the highest good thing, that they can even imagine, to give something back, but it is more important to put new life forth, in the positive sense, with no need to take anything back, as we must become prepared to build bridges out further, into the future first, and then we won't have to worry about paying off our debts out of the past, like the national debts, which have been inherited from our pandering politicians, who have used that borrowed money, just to buy votes, only this would have to include, our Eco-Logical Debt, as well.

Lastly, I would like to point out that Food comes out of the land, and the people, and the community, and it does not come out of the money, which only represents things that come out of the land, and the people, and the community, like gold and silver, which might come out of the ground, but with all the gold and silver on the Moon, you can still freeze to death, and starve to death, so we all need to work towards a greater balance.

Poor Planning by even Poorer People is the real cause of world hunger, meaning that they will have to become self responsible, before they can have any children, and it is certainly not money itself, because that is an inanimate object, which cannot be blamed, since it is only a thing which cannot move, but the peoples betrayals, of their own tribes, and their own communities, and their own forests, and their own wildlife, and their own sacred mountains, and their own rivers, and their own valleys, and their own languages, and religions, and cultures, which have all been abandoned, in favor of the great migration to the cities, to live in slums, as parasites, just because that is where the money is, geographically, in their desperate greediness, out of the love of money, for more, more, more, which they have just recently learned, about wealth and power in movies, and magazines, and the media, and because of the power of money, which they have seen in others, like tourists, and in our media, which may well be the cause of their own downfall, and the rest of us could go down with the current, if we don't begin to recognize that there are alternative sources of power, security, and adequacy, such as Community Empowerment.

So instead of saying, I have all this money, so I am powerful, and that means being powerful enough to be free, from being controlled and manipulated by others, since one can buy ones freedom, from the draft, with enough money, as that money opens a lot of doors, and it covers up a lot of wrong doings, as you can bribe your way through a lot of things, which is cause to be considered by others, to be an honorable person, who really is somebody, who is respectable, as it is in these old world cultures, where the big man, or woman, with the big money, is the one who is the most respected, and honored, just because of all that power, not because he is a good man, or because she is a good woman, but because they can buy off the opposition.

One might say, alternatively, that it would be better to have a good place in a good community, which is self sufficient, and sustainable, where I have my own homestead, and where I am known, and where I am loved, and respected, for who I really am, and for what I do for the community, and for the Earth, and because of the Community Services that I support, as a major contributor, and a benefactor, in order to help those, other people, who I know, in the local community, and good people from all over the world, who are known and respected, and where a real relationship does get established, and is further built upon, and not just for the money, or the need to be seen as being good, which is what causes these politicians to throw our money all over the place, which is representative of real resources, which have been forgotten, that may have been extracted, like gold, from the Earth, or from other peoples pockets, like those who want to cash their gold in for money, which would take the place, of my own adequacy, as a human being, who should have real relationships, and truly valuable assets, like land, people and community, in sustainability, which is the real source of all food, and self sufficiency, which a better kind of adequacy.

I have everything I need here, on the land, and so it is very satisfying, to maintain this lifestyle, as a homesteader in a community, who has land, and a place to build his own home, which will feed us all, once you get set up, because the land is the real source of all value, and when you have that, that is Freedom, at least from being controlled by others, who may have more control over you, when you are constantly in need of money, all the time, like an addict, and so being free from that control, is better than having the Power, to keep from being controlled by others, using that money, to keep the others under your own control, or to pay them off with bribes, as it is in all these old world cultures, which are all corrupted, beyond belief.

There is a crazy myth about money, which is quantitative, that with enough of that one magical thing, which has no value, you can buy everything else, which really does have value, which is not too far off of what we have been teaching our children, in the public schools, where they prepare, for one thing, and one thing only, and that is to go after the big money, if at all possible, so they can buy everything that money can buy, which will make them a success, in life, or to settle for less, but it is all based on how much money they can make, which is the short version, of the american dream, and that is now spreading around the world, when that is just not a true metric for success in life, which is really all about your healthy relationships, with people, land, and the community, and it is not about money, which is how success has been defined.

Everyone thinks they are supposed to come here, with an eighth grade education and get rich, within one generation. That is part of the American Dream fantasy, but that is a deeply delusional fantasy, of plugging in, and cashing in, and getting a free ride, and so that must be publicly declaimed, as being a false hope, and a false expectation, and as something which is to be decried, as being wrong, when there is no expectation, of any kind of a contribution, which should come first, because in every case, you first must be willing to put something into the community, before you can take something out of it.

= You might be wise, to expect to work a low paying job, as a farm worker, for the rest of your life, if you can manage that much, for any length of time, which is not guaranteed, by any means.

= Your sons sand daughters, might then reasonably aspire to go to beauty school, or a community college, for job training, as a welder, which is still not a real education, paid for with the wages of the farm worker parents, since we have no need for workers, as we are workers.

= The third generation, may then aspire to get a real education, I would think, which might be a much more reasonable expectation, and all paid for, by that welders wages, in combination, with the beauty parlor workers wages.

Wouldn't that be a more reasonable progression?

Well then why haven't our elected leaders brought this up, so that we can all revise our expectations down, a few notches, as a result of this wake up call, now that China has been brought back up from the dead, and is running rampant, on the world scene, and has now become some very serious competition, and the US is going to have to drop down some, as a result.

We are rapidly becoming a third world country, whether we like it or not, so we will have to accept that our money, will have less value down the road, much like the peso, and so we cannot continue to foist everybody up, to the highest levels of society, who has not even been here for at least 3 generations.

Newly meaningful standards will need to be created, by some of the other new world leaders, like myself, as I have done right here:

To be given the honor of being considered to be Indigenous, to this land, both of your grandmothers, would have to have been born, into this land. - T
