My son is still in the hospital … more tests today. Thank you to all for continued prayers. God is certainly listening and helping!!!!
Time to do some research … while we wait.
I’m completely shocked at the amount of law enforcement in the hospital and how many homeless people crowd the emergency room. Seems like most are trying to get warm … strung out on drugs … or are mentally ill. Once admitted things improved.
Huge societal problem that needs to be solved…

We need to figure out the societal problems like … how to feed people, animals, soil etc with good nutrition. The result of commercial farming is damage and poisoning our food chain. Greed turns natural processes into profits for those who are disconnected from both the process and the damage.
Plant in Circles, Not Rows - Increase Yield 400%"
Let’s look into natural ecosystems and contrast them with traditional row planting. Using examples from regenerative agriculture, particularly syntropic farming, provides practical advice for implementation.
Short History of Planting in Rows…
Modern agriculture adopted straight rows for crops like corn, soybeans, and fruit trees to facilitate efficient plowing, spraying, and harvesting with machinery. This method prioritizes mechanical convenience over natural ecosystems, simplifying fields to monocultures and removing features like edges, streams, and tree lines. While seen as progress, it has contributed to soil erosion, pollution, and loss of biodiversity, making food systems more vulnerable despite their apparent efficiency.
Why Planting in Circles Increases Yield…
Planting in circles and spirals emulates natural forest geometry, such as the Fibonacci spiral and golden ratio (about 1.618), to optimize light exposure, space utilization, and ecosystem resilience. This creates beneficial "edge effects" where biodiversity thrives—sun-loving and shade-tolerant plants coexist, roots access different soil depths, insects navigate edges, and fungi form underground networks. It avoids permanent shading, promotes air circulation to minimize diseases, insulates soil, and naturally accumulates mulch. Brazilian farmer Ernst Götsch demonstrated this by arranging plants in rings: central nitrogen-fixing trees (e.g., Siberian pea shrub, gliricidia, acacia), followed by deep-rooted plants like comfrey, fruiting shrubs (e.g., currants, berries), herbaceous perennials (e.g., yarrow, oregano), and outer annuals (e.g., tomatoes, lettuce). This approach boosted yields by 400% per square foot without chemicals or larger equipment.
Syntropic Succession…
This method layers plants in space and time to accelerate productivity. Fast-growing pioneers (e.g., bananas or papayas in tropics) are planted between young fruit trees to provide quick shade, food, and biomass. They are pruned ("chop-and-drop") every 3-6 months, leaving material onsite as mulch to feed soil microbes. This transforms degraded soil (from 0.5% to up to 14% organic matter), cuts water use by 60%, enhances drought resistance, and maintains high yields naturally without synthetic inputs.
The system self-improves over time, with diverse species naturally balancing pests and diseases. Soil becomes more absorbent, retaining water and nutrients, while supporting pollinators and beneficial insects. It revives exhausted land without fertilizers or pesticides.
Backyard Adaptation…
For small spaces, start with a 6-foot circle: a central dwarf fruit tree (e.g., apple on M27 rootstock), surrounded by pest-repelling chives/garlic chives, then strawberries for ground cover, and an outer edge of flowers like chamomile, marigolds, or nasturtium for pollinators. Mulch with leaves or clippings, and prune/drop waste onsite. This yields multiple foods, reduces watering needs, enriches soil, and costs less than traditional methods while producing more annually. Multiple such "guilds" maximize edges for greater biodiversity.
Companion planting and intercropping strategies take advantage of symbiotic relationships and growth cycles of plants which are friends.
Nature's Inspiration…
Curves, clusters, and spirals (e.g., in sunflower seeds or nautilus shells) efficiently pack life in nature. Ancestral planting followed land contours before industrialization simplified it with tractors and chemicals.
We can start thinking about “victory gardens” to help feed yourself, families, and community.

The WWII 'Lazy Garden' That Grew Food Without Any Work — And Why It Was Erased?"** from the channel.
Historical let’s explores a largely forgotten WWII-era gardening technique called the “Lazy Garden” or "no-dig / layered / mulch-based" system), designed specifically for civilians facing extreme resource shortages during the war. The core idea was maximum food calories produced per hour of human labor — critical when people were exhausted, fuel was rationed, tools were scarce, and imports had collapsed.
How the Lazy Garden worked:
- No digging or tilling Instead of turning soil (which burns energy and disrupts biology), gardeners layered organic materials directly on top of existing ground.
- Materials used: Cardboard/newspaper (as a weed barrier/base layer), followed by thick additions of kitchen scraps, straw, leaves, grass clippings, manure, wood chips, or whatever organic waste was available.
Benefits…
- Weeds were naturally suppressed (smothered by light blockage and lack of disturbance).
- Soil biology (worms, microbes, fungi) did most of the work — breaking down layers, building humus, improving structure, and cycling nutrients.
- Soil fertility increased over time rather than being depleted.
- Minimal ongoing maintenance — plant once, observe, harvest; no constant weeding, watering (mulch retained moisture), or fertilizing.
- It prioritized survival efficiency over aesthetics or maximum theoretical yield.
Historical context…
Widely promoted/taught during WWII in places like Britain and parts of the U.S. as part of "Victory Garden" efforts adapted to real wartime constraints.
- After the war, the method was gradually phased out of mainstream gardening advice and education.
Why it was "erased"?
- Post-1945 return of cheap fossil fuels, machinery, synthetic fertilizers, and pesticides made high-input, high-effort gardening feasible again.
- Shift toward commercialized agriculture and gardening industries profited more from selling tools, chemicals, seeds, and equipment — the Lazy Garden required almost none of these.
- Cultural emphasis moved toward "hard work = virtue" and visible productivity, making low-intervention methods seem lazy or inferior.
- The system threatened centralized control/narratives by allowing ordinary people to produce food independently with almost no external inputs or expert oversight.
Modern relevance…
- Reviving the Lazy Garden makes sense today amid poor soil quality, high food/input costs, time scarcity, climate stress, and interest in prepping/resilience.
- Practical starting advice: smother existing vegetation with cardboard, pile on 6–12+ inches of mixed organics, plant directly into the mulch, and mostly leave it alone while it improves itself.
In a situation of scarcity this is a critical skill of survival…

The greatest thing we will ever do here is learn to walk with God…
God’s direction …
God’s timing …
He is the master teacher.
Leave the things of this world behind … and a whole other world opens up before you. It’s not about things … or the material world. It’s way bigger.
Spend some quiet time … ask him to talk to you… then be quiet and listen …
Don’t beg … don’t treat him like a vending machine for your desires… just listen …
Read the story of Jesus and Peter walking on water … you will get the message. And I’m not going to spoon feed you the verses … look it up.
It is written … seek and you will find.

Good morning!!!
I’ve been pretty active behind the scenes. Many lawsuits are currently going on…
Today is a day to bring our prayers and petitions before God. I’m guessing in the next few weeks we will see more shocking things coming out.
Pray for truth and wisdom for the jury deliberating on a criminal trial. Pray for our nation. We are on our way to justice …
Heavenly Father, we come before You today united in wanting this world to work the way You intended. Your plan is always the best plan. We are looking for the power of evil which has cast a dark shadow on this world to be broken … and the light of Your presence to shine like the dawn of a new day. Help us to go forward and not look back.
Help us to see the world the way you do and work for unity as Your family … the family of the ever loving and ever living God!! Please break every spirit of competition and replace the lie with the spirit pure in service.
We commit ourselves to walking with You … in alignment and committed to becoming more like You as we are lead by Your Holy Spirit.
This is the day that You have made!!! What are we going to do today? You always create great adventures. We lay our plans, self determined timeliness and expectations down. They are not important and we are letting them and all the other nonsense misleading us away from You go. Anything not honoring You we want to disappear … to be thrown on the burn pile of bad ideas.
We want to focus on You alone just as You called Peter to do as You extended Your hand and invited him to walk with You on the water … the unknown.
Your presence is all we need … and we trust the plan … it is Your plan and it is good.
We love you … we want to be part of Your world in Truth and Justice. Bless the jury with a sound mind … lead by You … to make a decision based on truth. Give them a sound mind in the decision they are about to make. Please restore our land and restore our people that we may live to serve and honor You in all we do.
In the Mighty and Precious Name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior please give us Your help and may Your favor be upon us all.

Learn to be independent and resilient!!!! Free!!!!
Ashitaba - Angelica keiskei, is known as "tomorrow's leaf" in Japanese), a perennial herb native to volcanic islands like Hachijojima in Japan. Claims of daily consumption contributes significantly to the exceptional longevity observed in certain Japanese regions (e.g., Okinawa and related islands), where centenarians are far more common—up to one in ten residents past 100 in some areas, with five times the U.S. rate per capita.
Core Mechanism and Unique Compound -
- Ashitaba contains 4,4'-dimethoxychalcone (DMC,) a rare chalcone flavonoid found in no other tested food source.
- DMC triggers autophagy …the body's cellular "cleanup" process that recycles damaged proteins, organelles, and mitochondria—mimicking fasting's anti-aging and disease-preventive effects without calorie restriction.
- A key 2016 study from the University of Graz (published in Nature Communications) demonstrated DMC extends lifespan in model organisms (yeast, fruit flies, roundworms) via autophagy activation.
- Additional cited research: Japanese lab studies on tumor suppression; Korean findings on reduced blood sugar spikes; 2019 links to lower inflammation tied to diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer's.
Historical and Cultural Context
- Originated on harsh Hachijojima (a historical exile island for criminals/dissidents), where Ashitaba grew wild and thrived despite poor soil.
- Exiles noticed better health and longer lives; it evolved into traditional medicine by the Edo period—samurai for stamina, mothers for children, farmers for energy.
- An 18th-century shogun restricted exports to keep it strategic.
- Post-WWII U.S. occupation shifted Japan toward Western agriculture/foods, marginalizing Ashitaba on the mainland while island traditions (Okinawa, etc.) preserved it, correlating with sustained high longevity.
Health Profile -
- High in chlorophyll (more than spirulina), vitamin B12 (uncommon in plants), antioxidants comparable to blueberries.
- Used traditionally in soups, teas, tempura, or raw—bitter, green taste like celery/parsley mix.
- Every part edible; golden-yellow sap (chalcones) regenerates leaves quickly after cutting ("tomorrow's leaf").
America / Suppression -
Not literally banned for personal use or seeds/plants, but fresh Ashitaba lacks FDA GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status as a novel foreign food, blocking commercial fresh sales or health claims without costly approval processes ($1–5 million+ for trials).
- No patents possible on natural plants → no monopoly profits for Big Pharma/supplement giants.
- Contrasts with patentable autophagy drugs (e.g., metformin, rapamycin) that treat diseases rather than prevent them.
The system is biased to protect the profit centers of the global corporate crime syndicate…
pharma ($480B/year), supplements ($50B), processed foods ($1T) profit from illness/treatments; an cheap, unpatentable plant threatening that model faces barriers.
- Available only as dried powders/supplements (often labeled "not for human consumption" to skirt rules) or home-grown.
You can grow it yourself
Like so many other “food as medicine cures!!
Hardy in USDA zones 7–10; tolerates shade, neglect; container-friendly in colder areas; one plant yields ongoing leaves.
- Seeds/plants purchasable online (Amazon, eBay, specialty nurseries).
Self-reliance is a mindset we need to cultivate!!!
Bypass regulations via personal cultivation; pass down knowledge outside "the system."
Rethink food access, regulation, and who controls health options. As I’ve said so many times…to feed 9 families it only takes 1/2 acre garden, 36 chickens and 2 goats. Even if we grow herbs … a victory garden … a medicinal garden … take your pick … or even a couple tomato plants … we are contributing to cutting the profits and dependence on their system of debt enslavement.

SITREP: The color Revolution continues (The Minneapolis Powder Keg!)
Last week, America's Future, Inc. addressed how, for 45 years, the CIA has been conducting a color revolution by working to harm the lives of the Iranian people to provoke them to overthrow the Islamic Republic of Iran. Now that this effort to destabilize Iran using covert means appears to have backfired and/or failed, the CIA is seeking to manipulate President Donald J. Trump into launching an overt direct military strike.
This tactic is drawn from the same playbook with which the CIA tried to manipulate President Kennedy into ordering Air Force strikes on Cuba after the failed Bay of Pigs invasion.
Thankfully, like JFK, thus far, President Trump has refused to be manipulated.
Today, of all places, in Minneapolis, Minnesota (ground zero again for an internal uprising to occur) we must address the challenges this color revolution brings.
Take two minutes to review this important message.

My message below is to the Iranian people protesting, fighting and sacrificing their lives for their freedom (this is for those who can hear this and for those who can help get the message out).
First, I don’t want any American troops on the ground inside of Iran (we can’t afford it and the American people won’t support it). But, I do want our political leaders to be 100 percent in support of the millions of freedom loving Iranian people in their efforts toward achieving victory over the Khamenei dictatorship that has plunged Iran into a nation of darkness for decades.
That may not matter or make sense to many, but leveraging American political, economic, and diplomatic support to cause the regime to collapse on itself is very achievable.
I want to briefly tell an American story because I think it matters in the historic scheme of revolutionaries who fought for freedom over tyranny.
In our own American Revolution when we weren’t even a nation yet, our first General, General George Washington, feared the American Revolution was lost in late 1776 due to a "game is up” type scenario caused by a crumbling, short-term enlistment army, severe lack of supplies, and losing too many battles.
General Washington believed the lack of authority in the Continental Congress to demand resources also hindered success.
Key factors are listed below that General Washington believed were leading to his defeat followed by a brief “so what” for the Iranian people.
1. Short Enlistments & Troop Loss
So What? Don’t give up. Despite your numerous losses, you still have the numbers to win.
2. Lack of Supplies & Resources.
So What? Don’t waste whatever equipment or any resources you have on hand. One man fighting for the cause of freedom is stronger than 100 men defending tyranny.
3. Lack of Centralized Authority.
So What? This is where you are lacking. Leaders must rise up from the masses. They exist among your groups. Find them, encourage them, follow them. Most important, listen to them and stand together as one.
4. Military Defeats & Low Morale.
So What? You’ll face many tactical defeats but the taste of freedom must be cherished for that long term sweetness your children and grandchildren deserve.
5. Loss of Public Confidence.
So What? Do not lose hope. Confidence is a morale and combat multiplier. Seek it from your leaders and inspire it through each other.
These five factors led to the crisis in December 1776, forcing General Washington to launch the surprise attack on Trenton to prevent the complete collapse of the American cause. A cause that enabled America to remain free for 250 years (and we will not easily give our freedom away).
That master stroke of strategic genius by General Washington won our independence. Therefore, this message goes out to the Iranian people from an American who understands your culture and has studied and participated in battles and wars (and in your neighborhood too).
I can say, without question, that you too have it in your DNA to achieve victory, you have it in your leadership, and you have it in your own history.
Bear the tragedy and the many sacrifices of this struggle. This is your patriotic revolution that can lead to generations of freedom for your children, your great people and your once great nation.
The American people are currently captured in our own struggle to protect our very freedoms right here in our homeland (and we will). But just know that American patriots will be your biggest champions when you have taken the final hill and achieved the victory, freedom, peace, and independence that you and your nation richly deserves.
God bless you and know that millions of American patriots stand with you in your struggle for freedom.
