Emblems from the Pentagon’s Black World
February 25th, 2008I Could Tell You but Then You Would Have to Be Destroyed by Me: Emblems from the Pentagon’s Black World by Trevor Paglen: Shown here for the first time, these seventy-five patches reveal a secret world of military imagery and jargon, where classified projects are known by peculiar names (“Goat Suckers,” “None of Your Fucking […]
Soil and Health Library
December 26th, 2007The Soil and Health Library represents the most astonishing collection of materials on small scale agriculture and homesteading that I have ever come across. And that’s just the beginning of what’s on offer. Special thanks to IL for telling me about this digital library.
IBM Building Metaverse
December 21st, 2007I like the Snow Crash world more than the tech. Stephenson got it right: grim burbclaves, corporate statelets, private armies, and toxic, polluted urban wastelands. Is it sci-fi or is it just outside your window? This Wikipedia description of the Snow Crash setting is pretty good: The story takes place in Los Angeles, in the […]
Changing Images of Man
December 11th, 2007If you have ever encountered wild eyed weirdos who talk about re-visioning the future, complete with new religions, etc., whether those people realize it or not, Changing Images of Man appears to be the blueprint for that brand of PSYOP. Unfortunately, I hadn’t heard of Changing Images of Man until 2005. (I wish I’d read […]
The Plot to Seize the White House: The Shocking True Story of the Conspiracy to Overthrow FDR
November 23rd, 2007The fascist plot to overthrow the U.S. Government in the 1930s is definitely one They’d rather you forgot about, or, better yet, never heard of in the first place. The first time that I was introduced to this information, I thought, “This can’t be true.” In case you don’t want to read the book, or […]
Council on Foreign Relations: Regional Monetary Integration
October 19th, 2007Regional Monetary Integration by Peter B. Kenen and Ellen Meade Bonus points for the coincidence value: The biggest front for the elite in the world publishes a book about monetary integration as the U.S. Dollar collapses. Priceless. Via: Council on Foreign Relations: This book surveys the prospects for regional monetary integration in various parts of […]
Pope Clement Cleared Templars of All Heresies in Secret Vatican Document
October 13th, 2007What other “misplaced” documents are entombed in that library? And why release this information now? Wow, what a mind boggler… Lots of people have made careers out of Templar lore, it will be interesting to see what the pros think about this incredible revelation. This is a worthless, reckless and wildass guess on my part, […]
The Secret History of the War on Cancer
October 8th, 2007Via: Salon: Children shouldn’t use cellphones. No one should drink diet sodas sweetened with aspartame. And think twice before getting X-rayed with a CAT scan except in a bona fide life-threatening emergency. That’s just some of the precautionary advice that epidemiologist Devra Davis, who runs the runs the Center for Environmental Oncology at the University […]
Joel Salatin and Polyface Farms
August 30th, 2007For me, comprehension of the way industrial scale (including “Organic”) food worked was the last straw. Many aspects of politics and society are disturbing, but toxic—and or long distance—food isn’t some theoretical, far out, future threat. The wolf is at the door. It’s right here, right now. The food issue, more than anything else, drove […]
The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products
August 25th, 2007Becky and I wash our hair with vinegar and baking soda. We brush our teeth with toothpaste made from baking soda, vegetable glycerin and salt. We use plant based bar soap for hand washing and bathing and plant based detergents for dishes and laundry. Becky makes a moisturizing lotion out of raw aloe vera. For […]
