If you thought political sympathies was limited to the forty-first Senate seat , a new survivalist apparent motion driven by conspiracy theorists and teaparty extremists are even affecting us gardeners , who seek to simply last out focused on what we have it off , gardening . I received 4 e-mail this calendar week expect me if I would be interested in featuring their unique heirloom seed situation , and two asked if I would mention a discount code . which brings me to this weeks berth on heirloom seeds , fear and taxis .
Yeah , that ’s right .
Last calendar week I was contacted via email from an proprietor of a come company that I had never discover of , extend a large plastic pastry bucket of heirloom seeds called a ‘ cum bank ’ . He was write me asking if I would be concerned in passing a discount codification on to my readers , so that they could say one of these buckets of seed . I clicked the liaison he enclosed , and was brought to a internet site , that was obviously a guide , which is all right , but one with lots of advertizement ’s for proper wing radical chemical group , and for a phone number of right backstage boob tube shows ( like Beck ) . Above all , the internet site was poorly designed , had lots of photos of vegetable and peak varieties that we ’re not truly heirloom , but also not new varieties . The whole thing was a short too slick , but at the same clip , something was haywire .
I google “ Heirloom Seedbank ” and I was traumatize at the bit of sites that popped up . Most offer these bucket of cum , ostensibly are intend to be bury in the ground , so that you’re able to ‘ protect your source bank ” , from , oh , I do n’t know , the Obama loony . Whatever . But I was still a small ticked , if only because these hoi polloi are contacting me , a elementary plant collector and nurseryman , and not giving me a full disclosure of their intentions . I hate that .
I get the whole extremist movements , both right and left , uttermost right , and uttermost left . I assume most of us are just somewhere in the eye , and that ’s what realise the country I endure in America . But the reality is that these extremist fringe groups are get more pic , and the last thing I want to do is to bring more attention to them . If you are peculiar , then Google or Bing them yourself , and analyze the information for yourself .
Look , the political environment in the US is ignited decent now , and whatever side you light on , at least we are all getting involved . I even get this whole “ bribe seeds and sink them in the yard ” thing . Believe me , I was on a plane that dawning on September 11th flying out of Boston , I had to force back home 3 day in a rental cable car with the unwritten phenomenon of American flags drape the bridge circuit of the east slide , I insure Food , Inc , and believe in eating intelligent , in sustainable local agriculture , and in support much of the non GMO drift , at least with some varieties that might cause health risk , such as Soybeans that are immune to pesticide , but , like many things , it ’s not really about one side or the other . There is a very blurry middle , and we all must train ourselves and learn the real facts before burying anything in the solid ground .
My advice is if you unfeignedly experience that the government is go to collapse , and that radiowaves are causing earthquake and that the H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccine is just a government scam , and that that bank bailouts are even worse , then why not bribe the just seeds you could corrupt ? peradventure some organic fertilizer . non - GMO organic germ from Johnny ’s Selected Seeds , a real , reputable troupe who sell majority . Why would you believe the conspiracy idealogue , and then go buy seeds from one of these website that are home made , and that ca n’t really narrate you where their seed come from ? Watch out , because some of their semen could come from France !
I have a personal policy ( an agendum ? ) to not upgrade any Cartesian product or company on my web log unless I in person have either used , grown or have been a customer myself . I ’m not out to make money on my blog for now , so for authenticity interest , I would first require if I could try their merchandise ( seeds ) first , before passing on a discount to my lector .
Here is what still anger me . Some quote from one of these germ catalogue site …
“ train YOURSELVESYOUR MONEY IN THE depository financial institution FUNDS BANKING SCAMS ,
close up YOUR ACCOUNTOR LIMIT IT TO WHAT YOU postulate MONTHLYDEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT
“ YOU NEED STORABLE FOOD , WATER & WATER FILTERS , GENERATORS , SOLAR PANELS ”
“ BUY OUR ORGANIC / HEIRLOOM SEEDS & SUPPLIES THAT WILL ENABLE YOUTO COMPLETELY DEFEND & PROTECT YOUR FAMILIES ”
This one site goes on and on , explaining in bold scarlet and blue eccentric all these reason why you should buy heirloom seeds that swan from why Haiti ’s earth quake was because of the US govt . ( I know ! ) , the Obama ‘ agenda , and on why Monsanto hate us . Which then produce me thinking …… .
Telling people to maturate their own beans in their back yards of Nebraska , then to pull through their dry out cum while listening to their forgetful undulation radios and wind their own burlap may sound like a smart idea to some , I call up it is just silly , and unrealistic , and rottenly misinformed .
Right now , I am not school enough to point out on anything that Monsanto is doing or to mouth off about non - GMO source vs organic vs conventionally grown . I give those decisiveness up to you . Hey , I mature hybrid Zinnias , and although I love heirloom tomatoes , I must also grow some unexampled love apple varieties that are repellent to late blight . Do I grease one’s palms GMO Tomatoes in the market ? Somethings , but I prefer not to . I do corrupt organic Brassica oleracea italica , milk , and Spinacia oleracea , I tend not to purchase organic theme vegetables , nor do I look for non - GMO on a software package of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese . The slap-up business I still have with GMO green groceries is pesticide resistance , and residue , let alone the whole sense of taste matter . Organic is generally my first choice , but not always . I just make decision , which always change as I learn more .
Do watch Food , Inc. Do n’t hate Monsanto , learn more with an open thinker , I sleep with you are smart and curious .
It makes as much common sense to be against ‘ GMOs ’ as it does to be against ‘ chemicals ’ . Are some chemicals bad ? Sure ! But some chemicals are undecomposed too . You have to judge each one on an individual basis . Inform yourself properly . It may make more sense to purchase strawberry mark vs constituent blueberry , for instance . ( I think , from my own experience ) .
There are a lot of goddamn ripe GMO foods out there . gilded rice keeps fry from going blind . Rice that produces lactoferrin and lysozyme keeps sister with severe diarrhea alive . They are work on a GMO Elmer Reizenstein that hold in a cholera vaccine .
And….as we aim our seed orders this spring , Remember this :
“ Seeds become more worthful than gold in an economic collapse … In recessions and depressions , FOOD IS ECONOMIC SECURITYFood Supply Independence – If food supplies or supply - line of work are challenged , domicile horticulture is freedom . ”
And … If Bill Gates is funding a “ Doomsday Seed Bank ” in Norway , we must learn from this message and make one here in America . because … .
GLOBAL WARMING IS A LIE , IT IS NOW KNOWN AS “ mood CHANGE”THEY WANT MORE OF OUR MONEY TO investment firm THEIR architectural plan FOR A ONE WORLD administration
THEY CALL IT A NEW WORLD ORDERBUT IT ’S THE erstwhile WORLD ORDERDEBT SLAVES & ROYALTY“FEUDALISM”(from Survivalist Seeds.com )
One last thing ( grim for this very political rant ) …
I was amused to see that these buckets of seed also include mesclun . I think , really . Why would these folks need these ? Oh wait … .. peradventure to lure in illegals from Europe to trap as slaves …
but then , why do these buckets also include pounds of seminal fluid of matter like ornamental gourds and garden rocket ? Ohhhh . peradventure to entrap braw couples from Vermont who might be looking to slip this seed so that they can embellish their ordnance face .
But , I was even more amused to see links on these sites to organic Marijuana aquaculture sites , which I think is not a surprise , but I would be interested in how they require to grow heap without electrical energy after the ‘ crash of civilisation ” . Then again , why would they need to grow pot secretly , Hell – grow it in the open . No pauperism to hide anymore . Even though the constabulary are ‘ in ’ on the bountiful govt . cabal .
good of all , these buckets include semen for Hops and Tobacco . Hops , OK….that ’s a must ( but no organic Merlot source ? How Cum ? )
Then , most take organic , non - GMO tobacco . Yeeaah ! We all know that this whole “ lung cancer ” thing is just a health concern conspiracy fund by the Obama agenda to increase the support for a internal , no a Global Health Care system .
To end , you’re able to always immerse some cans of pith . Yum . Ca n’t wait . But hey , why devil , the whole world is going to terminate in 2012 , so do n’t tell anyone that I am grow anyway !
