TweetLet’s Trap Children in a Forced Society and See What Happens.

Trevor Grice is a licensed clinical psychologist who provides individual therapy and assessment services through a private practice setting in the Thumb of Michigan. Since starting his voyage on preparedness and sustainability with his wife and two sons.

Trevor has first hand experience on how this lifestyle can reduce anxiety and bring more happiness to one’s life. As a psychologist, he uses this experience to assist his clients on their own personal journeys and works to help his clients add more simplicity to their lives and return more to their roots to achieve desired goals.

Trevor and his wife, Diana, have started Dandelion Hills Farm on their two acre homestead. They raise turkeys, ducks, geese and chickens, manage bee hives and are looking to grow their personal garden into a market garden. Inside, they can and dehydrate food, have some cider bubbling away and will grow their own fodder for their birds.

Today we examine why bullying is such a problem today.  As Trevor puts it, “Bullying – Let’s trap children into a forced society and see what happens!”

TweetCould Inflation Be The Iceberg to Sink the U.S.S. Economy?

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

I want to start out by saying I am not saying this is going to happen.  I am just proposing that it could and it is interesting to take a look at the half sister of inflation from time to time.  See the reality is most people especially preppers fear inflation to such a degree they don’t tend to comprehend two things.

One – Controlled inflation is absolutely essential to the economy we have, based on current management practices.  – Note that necessary does not mean “good”.

Two – That a deflationary economy is not “good” just because you feel that inflation or to much inflation is “bad”.

Our current society has been programmed just like a computer to think in binary terms.  Ones and Zeros are the only inputs and outcomes.  If Democrats are bad, republicans must be good.  If you don’t like coke you must like Pepsi.  If you are not religious you must be an atheist.  If you don’t want a war you must be unpatriotic.

As you can begin to see with any level of critical thinking, this system is very useful to those in charge.  With such programming in place people are easily stratified into two camps of the false dichotomy.  The reasons for this are clear enough.

Yet it is important to comprehend that even those of use who now see the matrix, are often still controlled by residual effects of it.  This is often the case when the majority of the dichotomy has what congress calls a “bipartisan agreement” that something is in fact bad.  You see while the left and right wings of the dichotomy vulture are divided on most issues, the wings do meet at the back.

Almost everyone agrees for instance that the world is round, terrorism is bad, freedom is better than slavery, just to name a few.  Another one is inflation, almost everyone with half a brain agrees that too much inflation is bad, because well it is.

When a society has been so perfectly trained to see only ones and zeroes and the vast majority finally agree on something, the other side tends not to be examined, today we are going however to do just that.

Join Me Today To Discuss…

Why it could happen

The shear current volume of money and debt

Level to negative population growth in the developed world

Expansion of what we call “the developed world”

The irony that growth outside of “the developed world” doesn’t matter

The coming labor demand reductions

A return by many to common sense, saving and lasting value

The success of deflationary currencies, like Bitcoin

The good of deflation

It rewards savers

Deflation favors productive individuals

Deflation lowers the entry level of major purchases

Deflation favors local trade and community interaction

Deflation is an anti monopoly system

Deflation basically pays you interest to simply hold money

The bad of deflation

Immediate loss of jobs, specifically necessary ones

Investors leveraging debt loose – don’t cheer, most companies run on debt

The ability to borrow money declines and the cost goes up

Innovation can be stifled especially if it isn’t planned deflation

The elephant in the room, unfunded liabilities, like SSI

Our economy is simply not designed to run on deflation

The final reality

This is a more likely scenario then run away inflation

It is harder to fight than inflation, because it is about real production

Every person in debt will suffer greatly in a deflation economy

In the end it is an opportunity to take power from the elites

Sadly the average person won’t be able to comprehend it

Justin Carroll is a veteran of fifteen years in the service of the United States Government. He is a plank owner with the elite Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC), has worked on a contractual basis with another government agency, and has deployed to some of the world’s most dangerous and inhospitable places.

After completing his last overseas deployment Justin spent five years teaching digital security and identity management to hundreds of soldiers, sailors, and Marines of the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and was instrumental in the development of a highly technical surveillance program currently in use abroad by US Special Operations Forces.

Justin is the author of Your Ultimate Security Guide: Windows 7 and Your Ultimate Security Guide: iOS and is currently co-writing The Complete Privacy & Security Desk Reference. Justin resides just outside of Phoenix, Arizona.

According to Justin, the government surveillance apparatus that is now pointed at American citizens is incredibly alarming. Unfortunately they government is not the only or even the most pervasive collector of data about individuals in this day and age.

Your personal emails, phone, and VoIP conversations are eavesdropped upon, your purchases are recorded, your movements are tracked, your “credit worthiness” is bought and sold.  Your search history is compiled along with your FaceBook and Instagram pages.

All of this is used to create a profile about you that highlights your interests, sexual preferences, religion, income and education levels, and ultimately your level of compliance with an increasingly heavy-handed “system”. And it will never forget. Fortunately, you can opt out of almost all of this collection.

TweetGeoff Lawton – Permaculture Artist

It is always and extreme pleasure to have Geoff Lawton on the show. Geoff is who I received my PDC certification from, he is also my biggest mentor. It is my firm belief that like attracts like. The common bond Geoff and I share isn’t really permaculture it is a fundamental desire to help others and to do so mostly by teaching.

Today I had planned to discuss a lot of technical questions with Geoff, how do you ____ etc.  But quickly we moved into a much more high level discussion.

How would Geoff design a solution for the entire state of California for drought proofing.  What is the 3rd ethic really all about, why should we not politicize it?

Why are live stock essential to repair the damage to our eco systems?  Why are humans necessary to repair the same damage?  Today we look at not our own individual survival but the survival of our ecosystems and way of life.

Bob Wells Nursery “Plant Of The Week”

Chinquapin Nut Tree It is adaptable from zone 5 to zone 9.

The Chinquapin is a sub-species of the Chestnut family. It grows as a small tree or bush. Chinquapins are delicious eaten right out of the burr in the fall. Chinquapins have a single nut in the burr, unlike chestnuts that have nut divisions.

They are understory trees that grow in our native forests. However, heavy logging throughout the U.S has made finding native chinquapins harder than ever. The chinquapin tree is excellent for fresh eating, roasting, or for wildlife food.

Bob Wells specializes in edible landscape, including: Fruit Trees, Berry Plants, Nut Trees, as well as the hard to find Specialty Fruit Trees. Find this plant and more at BobWellsNursery.com
