16 Preparing for the future


December 10 th, 2008...

evening.... just woke, in Canoas Panama, in a hotel, go home in the morning....

talked to a friend, maybe find a place for my English course, will go with him next month and talk to the owner of a nice/large restaurant...

maybe see Pretty woman in the morning, missed seeing her this evening, slept through the short stint she was working tonight, woke an hour too late... should have set my alarm clock, but didn't think of it, only planned a short nap, but I was tired, 3 hours of sleep the night before.... I'd been working on the internet, comming with my son about the stuff I am trying to boot up, the problems like the one above with fotos, and came back to hotel and worked until almost midnight on emails/follow ups, enjoying having an electric supply that didn't depend on the sun.....

and today, I bought some food and four beers, Guinness stouts, and ate and did my nap, and the food and beers and lack of sleep caught me, and I slept through.....

but I just talked to a boss, and he confirmed she'd be in in the morning, which I had heard from co-workers....

I asked her coworkers, and then ran into my “Competitor” who works in the same area, and he gave me a big lie/bullshit story.... which I expected, the guy is not a person of any real character.... and a few minutes later, I was helping a Canadian guy, and doing my paperwork, and another co-worker of Pretty Woman came up to me and started telling me that she's interested in me, at first thought I was strange, which IS true, but is realizing I have some depth to me, and he went on about patience, me nodding head in agreement, I had figured most of what he was saying, and I mentioned the competitor, and he snorted and said that wasn't going to go anywhere, i.e. Pretty woman realizes whats obvious to the rest of us, that the guy is a flake...

I realized long ago with the woman, that she wants quality, as do I, and that being in a hurry was the wrong tactic.... the woman is pretty, and is dynamic, and well liked by people she works with.... one of those special women who have looks, and human decency,
and that people like.... all the good guys in her job area that aren't single treat her like their own sister.... she's very comfortable with men, grew up with a dozen brothers...... and men like women who aren't negative to us, and who like to joke and be social, and who are decent people... all of her male co-workers are happy I am hitting on her, they want her to get a good guy, which I generally tend to be to a fault, and personal problem, in today's world of mass egocentric thinking.....

The way I see it, my personal Patience is potentially infinite, so why not just relax and do this one step at a time, but keep hitting at it....

I've been single for over a dozen years, plenty of aborted tries, but nothing that stuck...
usually its the same routine, woman wanted money,car,and a life in town.... in this area, women dont usually garden, or camp, or eat food grown by anyone they know, they all want to be as White as possible, to the point they use umbrellas to protect themselves from any tanning, and they want to live in town, have a house full of expensive shit if possible, a car, and some dumb jerk to pay for it all that they can manipulate totally.....

They make american and european women look pretty good, plenty of women in the US etc., who like the outdoors, like gardens and animals, and who would love to live in the tropics on a farm with horses and wildlife, and food security like they have never imagined...

These women can only imagine being a rich bitch, or being a bitch trying to get there... it stems from the TV being 24/7 with soap operas, all of which portray rich bitches....

Like they've been given some bad Tape in their programming......

That I have a beautiful farm with thousands of food trees, and pasture of clover, and jungle with creeks and waterfalls, and spring water to drink, and carved trails all over, the major ones starting to even be rocked, and that I have tranquility, privacy, seclusion, and beauty all around me, is immaterial to the Latinas.... all they want is money and power...

Neither of which is doing anyone much good these days...

I just saw several indigenous women sleeping on the street, travelers, the Guaymi tribe is split between Panama and Costa Rica, and so they travel back and forth.....

if I had the money, I'd rent them a room... but its close to Christmas and not even rooms available... they are by the government offices and police station, so are secure, but I dont like seeing women sleeping rough....

And in my opinion the indigenous women are the best here, and even non-indigenous men know that... I had a guy I know tell me that very thing on the way here the other day, that the indigenous women have a lot of admirable qualities....

Another interesting thing today, is ran into some Ecuadorian Indians, traveling through the area, street musicians, making money by selling CD's and indigenous trinkets, and I noticed that some of their flutes we not ecuadorian, but were from American Indian styles, and one of the guys noticed me looking, and explained to me what I already knew, but I cut him off a bit politely and filled in his sentence for him, that those flutes were native north american... so we had a conversation, nice guy, traded emails, and then they started playing music for the forming crowd, very beautiful, haunting, of the Andes, which is one of my favorite styles...

He had the usual Andean Quenas, but his Pan Pipes he said were from Rome of all places, and were an unusually nice set, handmade, of wood....

His email was “ramiro1017@hotmail.com” if you are interested in CD's, or Native american trinkets..... I sensed from his display that he has contact with North American tribes, which I was happy to see.... the Native Americans are a race and a culture with no country, split up and oppressed in two continents, that once belonged to only themselves... and that was stolen by force and deception... And yes, there are Yahoos and hotheads and all other kinds among them, but I also sense a lot of human decency in them.... I mentioned my blog to Ramiro, and that I was pushing a concept of neoindigenism, that people needed to re-find their roots as a survival operating program.... I'm no specialist, I like all indigenous and folk cultures, and not hung up on the American Indians or any body else.... I like to study everything possible relating to living Natural, and I love nothing better than to pick up some station from afar on short wave, thats playing folk songs I dont even recognize the language or culture of.....

What I do know, is living closer to Nature, is living closer to God..... and The hauting Flutes and Quenas I heard today tell me I am on the right path... it wasn't head beater music, it was beside the creek music.....

So if you are an oppressed Office Nigger, and want an exquisite taste of really beautiful and haunting authentic Andean folk music, from some guys who are doing it at street level, contact Ramiro and ask prices etc.

Also today had my son google the word Neoindigenous.... and funny thing, its only other usage besides mine, is in poetry of all things, and was a term used to describe modern times produced poetry done in older styles.... I was pleased, and realized that of course Neoindigenism would start from poetry, as poetry is expression from the heart....

So I am likely the first person to use the expression to describe all the following steps back to a life with some heart in it.....

And I got the concept from my heart, and so felt good knowing its other usage....

What I am talking about folks is the path back to sanity.... its mostly a deer trail at this point.... but if you pick it up and follow it, it will take you back to the mountains and creeks Ramiro's flute sang so sweetly of today....

Find your heart folks.... and find your destiny.... keep on the current paths, and find your end.

The Technocult is empty calories living.... no heart in it.... just fluff and sequins on paper doll people.... cardboard cutouts.... not real, not living, and not even a connection to the great spirit...

Come out of Babylon, the Great whore..... Or share in her Plagues...

When the shit hits, people like Ramiro will know what to do.... get out and away, back to real security....

follow the flute....

Anyway, I also got a look up close at the Quenas, I've owned one but it was a cheap plastic one, and didn't work well due to the shape of the notch being off, and I saw today that the real shape is bigger and more round.... so I will be playing with bamboo soon, finding that sweet magic notch to blow through, that awakens the natural gods and spirits......

I have been thinking recently about doing a Quena of Cortesa, but wanted to figure my way through the notch problem first, and so today's vignette gave me a clue of which way to head...

I also found a nice forged hoe head today for $3, from China, of a size and weight I know to be most useful..... on the farm we have a bundle of hoes.... I realized long ago that the hoe was THE tool of the serious survivalist.... and of all of my hoes, first among them is the heavy grub hoe style, mine being a fairly wide pickhoe, that I removed the pick from.....

After that, the hoe we grab most is a lighter, but forged head hoe of about 6 inches, on a short handle of about 24 to 28 inches.... I have all kinds of hoes..... Pay attention here, this is important, because if you want to survive, having such a hoe in your Baggage-to-go pile is important..... because its the only tool you need other than an axe and machete, to survive long term....

The hoe is the mother of agriculture....

And a 6 inch hoe of good quality, on a short handle is the hoe of choice if one wants minimal baggage, and maximum utility... if you have a portage pile, include a heavier grub hoe too.... but do not omit the short stout hoe from your list.... I discovered years ago that such a hoe was just the thing on raised beds.... good to clean the paths too......


Anyway, Making some progress I think on finding a place for my english course, and the owner in question is a neighbor of my best friend in Costa Rica.... meaning when our other friend talks to the owner and explains my idea, said owner can also talk to my best friend as a character reference.... its an upscale restaurant, and with the economy being dead, I think the owner will like having an attraction one night per week...

I also noticed a new hotel, that I didn't know existed, and talked with the proprietor whom I got a decency hit from... and his price was very competitive, and the place spotlessly clean, and had a little sidewalk cafe' in front... I am currently in a low rent fire trap style hotel, because my usual these days hotel was booked, being Christmas season on the border and all the shoppers... the hotel I have been using is a yahoo hotel, with kids yelling in the halls at midnight etc. and the proprietor is one eyed, wolfish and a scammer... so I am thinking about trying the new one.... its also on the same block as the restaurant I have a lead on....

I suspect I can get the english course to fly this time.... do a bit of fun theater, get people laughing, and the timid ones can drink a beer and get past a real problem the Latins have about trying to speak a language they dont know well, in public.... its one of their major blockages to learning more...

it will be fun, and I can change the future of a lot of folks for the better, and also use it to teach other stuff, things these people need grafted into their mindset... I'm eclectic, and the friend I spoke to today is a serious student of Yogananda, and I suggested he help pick out some pages in his books that I can use to teach english with that have things he thinks of value to the locals.... this guy is into social improvement, he fought with the Sandinistas in Nicaragua, but figured out for himself that ideology is one thing, and human nature another, and that all the stock “isms” create an elite who seem to forget the little guys very quickly once they get any power...

So I presented him an opportunity to cherry pick some concepts for our neighbors to get their heads around...

The real revolution is in our own minds... when we learn to polish our hoes instead of our cars, things will get better.....

We dont need to just give up white bread and go to whole wheat, we need to grow our own wheat and grind it too..... and bake it with sticks we clean from the forest, and put the ashes around fruit trees or on the garden...

Marxist Socialism stops short of where we need to go.... they in the soviet union had the blacksmith's hammer, and the gleaners sickle, but thats about as far as it got, symbolism....

We dont need another bureaucracy, we dont need an ideology, we need a hunk of land and a water source, and a hoe, and a flute for when we are tired of hoeing.....

And we need to be smart about it all, and always always always avoid taxes one way or another... when the guys who think they can improve things by twisting our arms come around, let them find us in houses that are clean and have little of value for them to steal....

Stash the food if you have any quantity, in ways they cant find it.... dont use money any more than you have to, and when they come around and want to improve things, tell them the reason there is no food for them to take, is because there is a shortage of hoes... and if they gear up production, and soon everyone has a hoe, and they come looking to steal the crop, shake your head sadly and tell them there was a shortage of sickles....

and if they get everyone everything they need, tell them there was a shortage of workers, and that if they would just come out and help a bit, it would be enough, to produce that excess they so desire....

Looking forward to seeing pretty woman tomorrow, times are hard, and I had a mother with a couple of homely daughters trying to pawn one off on me today... I'm sure the daughters came with kids, normal here.... in the culture of hormonal chili peppers... these people are about like rabbits.... never a kid shortage...

I also ran into a woman here in the Rat Hotel, daughter of the manager lady, with two kids, that was eyeing me before when I was a regular here... she looks a bit older and more tired, but I notice the vibes I got from her today, were “Notice me” body language and such... I'm not too interested in other women, pretty woman has at least done that for me.... but I know if it doesn't work out, I will hunt elsewhere.... I asked her mom about her, if it was the same daughter.... i.e. Let her know I am interested.... I dont need much, just some woman who doesn't upset my digestion at breakfast.... had one of those..... she didn't look bad, but the woman could ruin a perfectly good breakfast with just a few words....

These days, I am older but wiser, and could deal with it.... I'd just usher her out, lock the door and finish my breakfast in peace, and open the door again when I was done....

Its like my dog; she was an excessive barker, now she is a recessive growler.... I'm sure the same training techniques would work on a two legged bitch...

my problem when I was married etc. came from an imbalance, I tend to love women more than they actually deserve....

But I've realized that..... and now working on myself, by learning heart control..... males should really try that one.... you'd find yourself a victim less often.... Truth of the matter, is without men, women would be eating things they found under rocks.... 'tis man who is the tool maker, and women use whatever tool is handy.....


Friday, December 12, 2008......

Morning, home alone with dog, no worker, pretty morning, thinking about several connections I made in Canoas, one in the mining industry, one in the IT field who sailboards, one in the indigenous music business, and also a store owner, and also the Chinese woman with the hardware/steel supply.... I didn't get to see Pretty woman, Manyana turned into three days, and I got told the same thing morning I left, she'll be here Manyana......

Latins! Afraid to say they dont know....

I did run into her daughter, whom I like immensely, and got my messages across.... and left a small token Christmas gift..... and the usual food assistance....

I know I am making progress the hard way, but I'm used to that.....

and I did get a lead on a place to teach, and also ran into some folks that have seen and liked the hunk of land I am thinking about selling to finance my boat trip.....

The bad news, is my modem fone didn't show up yet.... so still cut off from the world...

But its a sunny day, and I have plenty to do writing follow up emails to my new connections....

Gnawing at it all.....

got home in the rain, carried all my hotel baggage and about 30 pounds of food up the mountain in the rain, and then the rain quit......

Murphy has never ever missed me even once that I can remember......

But I did get the nice Chinese Hoe, thinking about a 28 to 30 inch handle for it, Cortesa if I have the right hunk, and putting it in my refugee gear pile along with the E-tool/shovel I made with the cut down tiling spade and home grown Cortesa handle and leather saddle sheath....

I also bought a spare flashlight, to help with the snake problem, my little Gerber is ace, but uses up the cheap local batteries, in a week, due to my excessive use with living the full time camping lifestyle.... imagine it eh? Camping, in the jungle, and how much you would need a flashlight, and then to be saddled by economics and local shit quality batteries..... and have your life depend on it due to the snakes....


New flashlight is C cell, and lower wattage diodes.... so batteries should last, plus it gives a wide area of light, nice when the snakes are big, or just off the narrow trail.....
It needs better O-rings, and I gave it a camo paint job last night....

Saw some packs at the border I liked, been thinking of a second larger camo pack for bugout shit..... like I mentioned many moons back, if I have time I will portage as much into the brush as possible, and stage my with-drawl to get away with a decent amount of survival goodies.... and so being able to drag camouflaged packs into the brush in quick succession, and then start humping them towards my planned escape route, makes sense... even if I can just get them out of camp, so if it is pilfered, they dont get the hidden packs....

Anyway, if they are still around in January, and cash still flows, I'll have one.....

I also am happy with the chicken shears I scored, boy are they nice.... and hard enough stainless a file wont touch them.... I'm going to sharpen them some, so I can use for garden work, I realized long ago that a little pair of nippers of some sort would be really handy in a survival situation for doing hidden garden work, where you take out just a bit of brush, and install some food producing plants and blend them in to the ambient..... creating Hunter/Gatherer infrastruture that only a local brush hound would recognize as being strange, and most town types would walk right past....

And these shears are star gate quality, and I got them for $6.........

definitely go in number two pack.... or maybe even number one bug out pack.....

Getting the Chinese hoe head has altered things some in my thinking.... I want to do a stainless take down hoe.... so thinking it can be a tich smaller, go in number one pack, and the new hoe in number two on a packboard also, along with an axe, the e-tool, giving me a first pack thats minimalistic, a second thats more robust, and after that go to portage/baggage like the grub hoe, larger axe, and serious hard job tools.....

Its an organizational thing......

And considering humans have this little organizational problem going, a personal organizational counter is in order......

Playing the Algebra, far side of the equal sign, in the dichotomy pair.....

If the world is going to shit, the personal counter move, is getting your own shit in order....

I had to use money out of the bank to buy food, just got rice, sugar, coffee, a new coffee filter, and some Rubbermaid style spatulas for the mother of my niece, I bought her her first ever cake mix last time, and will find her some recipes on the web when I get the modem, and working her towards improvement in the cooking skills, she's a good girl, I admire her total package, and so want to help her have a more better life....

One of the connections I got was with a young German couple, that I like, just moved to Costa Rica less than a year, have three? Small children, traded emails, I was in this 50 meter line at the Panama side “Salida”, and they asked to cut into the line due to the kids, I was really pleased, 13 years of having Ticos sleaze in ahead of me, And I got some revenge and did a good deed for a young mom and dad, and also got to make friends, all at the same time..... and got a connection into the German Community, which I have wanted for a long time, as its large, and as I want to work on my German seriously when I get the modem, and having friends to help will make it miracle level improvements better......

I also gave my email/website, to a young Japanese counterculture type on the bus, he spoke very little english and no Spanish, but got the idea I wanted him to take my website to a Japanese engineer friend, in a random attempt to seed their culture with my concept.....

Interesting thing I noticed with the kid, is with the long hair etc., the Japanese are a good looking people.... better looking, than with short hair and business suits....

He seemed like a good kid.....

I love multi-culture realities, grew up in Europe some.... looking forward to trying my idea of using language courses as background noise on the computer, and seeing if I can pick up a thousand words or so in each of several languages...

I also did some concepts teaching with Ticos, mostly agriculture and food related ideas....

Its starting to make me a lot of friends.....

They realize I am trying to help them, and now with agitated times they appreciate it.....

Before, I was a crazy gringo, now I am an important teacher... with my classroom usually being a public bus....

When I go to big group English teaching the numbers will multiply astronomically....

I expect that teaching english on the border will make me the most known gringo in the entire area.....

Which should be a fun reality for Pretty Woman to juggle with.... you know how into social Reputations women are.....

Plus she'll see me interact with groups including lotsa females, and I was a class clown type, and she'll have to decide if she wants to see some other slitch to snag me, or best do it herself....

Its interesting even now, to be talking with tourists/foreigners, and have several locals tell me hello in passing, no matter where I am.....

Always loved attention, the heart of a class clown mentality.....

Hams!

Its like Pretty Woman's co-worker told me, she didn't like me at first, but the man has enough depth that she's coming around.... I'm not rich, or good looking, but I am an interesting puzzle....

Curiosity calmed the cat?

She's a nice Lady, and would look good walking on Red Carpet......

Better than many who do......

I figure its only a matter of time until my Asensor concept explodes into public awareness, and it might be good to have a dynamic woman to distract attention from my Grizzled Jungle Hippy looks.....

If I walk Red carpet, it will be in flip-flops and a T-shirt.... Ahhh... I dont know, maybe I could dress up a little.... a good fitting corduroy suit and a Clint Eastwood hat maybe?

I'm really more Western than Hippy.... but not as in country music.... most of that makes me wince, I'm off more into bluegrass style or folk, like Emmy Lou Harris, or Bonnie Raite .....

Anyway, heating water for an after breakfast coffee....

Feeling good, have sun, will write.....


Later, took a break from emails, did some grinding on my chicken shears, got them half ground.... thinking these days about the back to the lander movements, the counterculture, and all the people with tatoos and body piercings and unique styles... the Mitarism of the 40's and 50's has given way, and now over half a decade later, its starting to get obvious what is coalescing out of the mists..... if one looks at it all in overview, its the neoindigenous oozing out the cracks of the technocult.... people want primal basics, and are sick and tired of plastic crap.... depends a lot on point of view, there are those high on the ladder who want to get down, and those lower who think they want up....

Like the Females in the US and Europe who would love to live as I do, and the local women who can only dream of an apartment in Paris or London, or Berlin, or Seattle for that matter... Many local females ran off to San Jose', after money, freedom from Parental control,
and a place they could be “sleazy in ambiguity”....

I heard the body count in San Jose was going up incredibly... I used to think it was bad, I'd be at somebody's house for the evening news, and invariably see footage of tarped bodies in police pickup trucks.... it was like what reporters did, reported on murders.....

Many times, young girls, raped and murdered.... went to a dance, never made it home....

But, back towards point; that I think the neoindigenous thing is simmering under the surface, and this economic and organizational crisis is about to touch off the powder......

I left early, because I was born to be wild.....

And it hasn't hurt me..... I am worth more now in market value than most of my ex co-workers, who worked the last 13 years....

And I suspect my time thinking in a hammock is about to pay dividends... I have a long term plan walking..... While most are busy figuring out where you get to, on the easy looking path.....

The bottom line truth about the technocult is that its a downhill trip, and all the wealth continually sucked upwards..... it just doesn't pay.... and people, even Ticos are starting to realize it....

So where do you go?

Well where ever you want to, and think you can keep eating and have a dry place to sleep and a regular bath......

To hell with vanity eh?

The hard part is trying to do anything with other humans.... if you aren't having problems with other humans, either you are too stupid to realize, or you have an incredible group....

I usually occupy the first category....

I think most of what I have done in this blog, is put a name to the movement, and laid out some core concepts.....

Also have set a bit of an example...

Another thing I have been thinking about lately is a smaller daypack sized bug out pack...

get it down to the things like the hand Celts, and a few tools without handles etc.

The pack to have if you have to run literally....


Morning....

Saturday December 13th, 2008.....

worked all morning on a hoe handle for the Chinese hoe, used Cortesa, turned out OK, took about 2 hours or so.... Fairly serious work, Cortesa is as hard as imaginable for a piece of wood, to cut the billet, my Milwaukee worm drive with a carbide toothed blade kind of smoked through it, as in sharp teeth seemed to “Wear” their way through, where on normal hardwoods, it would have been quick work.... we are talking 10 minutes maybe to do a 32 inch cut.... I dont know if Cortesa is in the Lignun Vitae family, but I know lignun and this is very very close in all aspects, Lignun may be maybe 5% harder at most....

And its used for strut bearings on Battle Ships.....

For the bushing material....

Cortesa comes in three classes that I know of...

All are hard, or harder.... and I havent got a chance to work with Cortesa Morado, but I have heard its not hard or harder, its hardest....

When they cleared forests here for pasture in the old days with axes, the locals would just bark the Cortesa and let it stand... too hard to cut down with an axe......

Its also the most rot resistant wood I know of... I am trying to make a collection of my most important survival and subsistence tools with handles of Cortesa.... basically unless some how I accidentally burn it, it will last generations...

I made the mistake of sharpening the hoe on the same side that was sharpened at the factory.... it was the wrong side... guess my hoe head got a Chinese worker not from the farm, and I wasn't paying attention....

No problem, just grind on the other side for awhile....

Its definitely more of a diggin' hoe, than a weeder, fine with me, digger is my middle name....

I went 32 inches on the handle, due to weight and size of the head, and also to go with my E-Tool I made by cutting down a tiling spade both socket and bitt.....

It has a Cortesa handle, and a leather sheath with saddle ring.... I made it after I had a horse almost die stuck in a ditch tits up and head down hill, the only thing horse sticking out of the ditch was his feet.... he got out by throwing his body over his head backwards, down hill....

And it was a couple miles either direction to the nearest digging tool.....

Anyway, the new hoe is definitely a hoe to take if I can when I go, if I have to..... the size and weight and construction are right...

OK.... just ground the other side, couldn't stand thinking of it being wrong....

I also cut out a billet for an axe handle this morning, will do some other day, also Cortesa....

Thinking this morning about the young German couple... 'tried to warn them about the Ticos, luckily they have a neighbor who has been here longer than I have, who had let them know how bad the reality is.... Ticos are the nicest Economic Cannibals on the planet... when they aren't eating foreigners alive, they butcher each other....... They bad mouth the Nicaraguans,

But I'll bet the differences are slight....


I had a neighbor lady the other day rag me for generalizing about ticos... I pointed out the problems in the village with my asshole neighbor wouldn't have lasted six months, in the US, he's turning his cattle into other people's property, (those flowers and food plants are good pasture).... and then he threatens the owners if they complain... and he already killed an 80 year old man, stabbed him with a knife... and you know what, theres another like him in the next village, and the second one to the north, and probably every town in Costa Rica...

And its because the police do very little, and the judges seem to let them off, time after time after time.... (bribes).....

The legislature even passed a law a few years back that you couldn't be let off, for paying a bribe....

Bribes increased in price slightly....

Its a “Corruptoculture”....





Its the only country I have ever heard of with three past presidents in jail for corruption at the same time.....

When I first got here, met a guy, who later became my best friend, I asked him about how the Ticos were, He responded angerly: “Inconsiderate Liars!” and now a dozen years later, I realize he was being nice with his description.....

Some Ticos are really good folks, but the majority of them are capable of the most incredible sleaze beyond imaginable.... Egocentric beyond belief, and if there is a National art form, its lying....

“Jose' Buttfuckers” is my nickname for them.....

And I am probably being overly nice too....

And its constant, I should have kept a log all these years of all the incredible things just the people in my little village have done to each other.... but you wouldn't believe it if it was on video...

Basically no matter how social you are, and no matter what you would like to do to help them, you just have to live separate from them to survive emotionally...

The young German woman tells me her husband had a worker..... it lasted a week.....

I told them: “Do your own garden, fix your own roof...”

But its been good for me, I at least figured out the whole human game, all various versions of the same dishonesty and egocentric games played here...

In other Places its different, the rich do it to the poor, and some poor to each other, here its an orgy.....

I head Bob Chapman some last night, He was talking about the “Iluminati” mentions the Rothschilds and a guy named Prince, Charles Prince.... I thought that was a good joke....

Chapman seems to think its only a matter of time until things are so trashed from their fraud games, that it will be torches and pitchforks time for the elite.....

Bob seemed serious about it... Talked about Open battles in China now between laid off and unarmed workers, and the Chinese Military....

All due to the world economy being trashed by blue nosed Thieves.....

Many suspect the elite intend to turn microbes lose on the general public to reduce populations.... What the Elite doesn't realize, and that I've learned living in the Jungle, is its not just the weak the microbes go after, they go after anything out of balance, that includes overfed, or chemically fed types.... Basically the microbes function as “Population Police”, but they dont just take out inferior Genetics as the blue noses think....

The clean the entire population of anything out of sync with the big plan.....

And human altered microbes will mutate as they go through the populations, and come around the dark side of the moon on an elite who have vaccinated themselves against them....

Those who are most likely to survive a plague, is those most balanced on the most natural path......

Because there is more to the total balance than the genetics of one altered microbe... there are nearly infinite checks and balances in the natural world...

Its always something you dont know about, that gets you, when you are arrogant enough to think you are a god.....

In fact, the whole system is geared to filter for humility.....

If you want to survive, the best strategy is to become very humble, and keep to a humble path.... I doubt Mr. Prince spent the morning making a hoe handle...

And when there is no food, the gold in his vault is no better than fish sinkers....

People who normally will do anything for money and gold, get strange and un-co-operative when there is no food... and if there is no food, and you have a big stash, and only share it with your “Oppression Forces”.... sooner or later someone figures out how to get in on you....

There is no absolute security..... unless its running a proper culture....

And getting greedy is losing your head... figuratively and literally.... thats how the universe works, its part of a dichotomy pair.....

Mr. Prince's ancestors debated in parliament for several years what to do about the Irish Potato famine, they did nothing..... and over the same period of several years millions died of famine or immigrated.... including some of my ancestors.... the BRITISH Nobility also managed to make a profit at the same time, exporting food FROM Ireland...

you dont suppose they will follow the same script this time do you?

Maybe shut down the bogus currency with a bogus collapse, let hunger and microbes do their dirty work, while they banquet and profit, and debate what to do about it?

Shame Shame..... especially with some moron having come up with a way out of the box for everyone.....

Funny how the Bible warns of all these things, and that the Ranchers will show up in the end game, and burn those responsible... do you suppose Mr. Prince, or Mr. Rothschild's bunkers can withstand being lasered from space by a ship with enough energy on tap to zip between stars?

I dont think so......

Have to wait and see I guess.... glad I'm not a greed head....

Just some moron.... living up in the brush, with strange ideas and opinions.....

Anyway starting to rain have to shut down.... its been a good day, got a survival Hoe done for my refugee baggage pile.... 'need to use it and see if I like it.... I suspect so, its a very well made forged hoe, someone went to a lot of work to make it.... and its forged to differing thickness etc., its quality, even has temper.... so it isn't a cheap garden hoe....


Morning, December 14th, 2008...

Sun coming over the mountain, so I can write....

woke at about 2;am, went back to sleep once, but mostly awake since then... drinking coffee enjoying the nearly full moon, waiting for daylight....

But now its broad day, and I've been working down another hunk of Cortesa, I think this one is going to be some kind of a club.... the piece was 30 inches long or so, and fairly massive, and it just reminded me of a club, almost a baseball bat, and so off I go on another hand tool adventure in neoindigenous crafts..... Thinking maybe I can use it to grind or pound corn, like the Indians do, or use it for a fish club, not important, just have the piece, and it wanted to be a club, and told me so......

Tried the hoe last night as things went into sundown, its a digging blade, not a weeder, and its a fine one.... and with a Cortesa handle, it makes something I'd want to have with, if I was going up the ramp to colonize another Planet, or if I was going to have to play “Survivor” on this one... say due to Economic collapse, or some such unimaginable scenario....

Basically the bottom line Monkeys, is we cant be stupid egocentric shit heads, and get away with it... its like the Latins, ratting from each other, and thinking its a good mode of Operations..... well, like I tell them, when the Village is full of people doing shitty things to each other, they ALL get to live in a social septic tank....

Its why past Generations stressed things like Honesty, hard work, good habits, and clean houses.... also things like education, and social graces..... Check out the Chinese and Japanese and their culture of Politeness and respect.... Thats where you get to if you survive overpopulation on small amounts of area... after awhile even the most stupid has to figure out he or she isn't the only person with needs and wants, and the life is better and jostling is less if one gives space and respect and politeness instead of ME-MONSTER behavior....

I also think maybe some decentralization is in order... theres no shortage of space, just most of it is overly owned by people who dont really need it...

Like governments and their fellow bed buddies the big corporations...



I'm hoping the big corporations get the idea we should have a Space Elevator, and they all discover ways to move into space, i.e. Off-shore into the unlimited Industrial Park of Space or the moon for that matter.... Nothing to keep International Paper from growing plant fiber in vats on the moon, or in orbit, and down loading the Paper and other products cheaply and rapidly to all the colonies, and to mother earth..... it would likely be more efficient, and more profitable, and we could replant real Forests on the planet, and the employees could have a place to vacation, even if there were a trillion of them....

With our recent discoveries in genetics, its not impossible to think of growing plants even on the moon.... when I was studying for my degree in Construction Tech., I did a paper on solar energy on the moon, and what I figured out doing the report, was that to make it feasible, one had to pretty much copy how things work on earth, as far as the numbers went, and do the construction in a design mandated by the differing environment with its two week day and night cycles.... I figured domes over craters being used as living space and growing spaces, with a lake of water in the bottom, an homes and plants terraced around the sides of the crater, and have the dome's skin be of reflective glass that one could change the reflectivity either electrically, or as a reaction to the amount of light.... I also suspect one would want a blown in insulation between double glazing for the night cycle.... It's not impossible to imagine trees being altered genetically to adapt to the day night cycle, and go dormant for 2 weeks in four....

Nor is it impossible to think of food crops doing the same.... and I wonder how tall you could grow corn in one sixth the gravity, and how many ears to a stalk?

And I wonder what it would look like to see my dog chase a rabbit in one sixth gravity also.... that would have to be good..... or see what my boomerang would do? I suspect it would spiral up and up, and then down and down... a helix...

Think outside the box folks.... nothing to fight about.... we have infinite potentials if we can learn that human stupidity isn't the best of modus operandi......

And once again, I ask all my readers, if any, to please pass my website on to friends, to get my ideas out there....

“elevatortospace.org”

The best way to save the planet is to quit screwing it up.... and the best way to save humanity, is expansion into space... “Up and Out” young people!

And older ones too.... reduced or zero gravity has long been suspected of being a life extension strategy.... nothing to keep those Crater Villages from being retirement communities....

And if any readers work for Owens Corning, or Arco, you might mention to the research department that they need to come up with a glazing material that is also a solar electric panel and reduces photons passing through by turning them into electrical current, and that also will turn reflective if there is too much, or the energy is not needed....

That should get them scratching their heads.....

(And make them earn their pay too.....)

Basically we are in the bottle neck of human history.... gravity holds the cork in and keeps us from expanding like Champaign bubbles, and the Space elevator is the big cork remover...

Time to pop the cork folks....

Build some ivory towers in space and on the moon....

All problems come with their sollutions as dichotomy pairs....

Humans are designed to expand forever..... and to live forever.... but for test and genetics enhancement purposes we, our genetics, was altered so that we aged and died and suffered...

i.e. Learning experiences.....

Suffering build character.... and enhances personal humility.....

Its like my supposed cousin, Janet Ruseau Onasis, 'dont know the woman, never seen so much as a photo.....

but what I do know, is if she had to experience suffering up close and personal, say by spending 6 months in Darfurs at a refugee camp, those Onasis Ships would carry relief supplies along with cargo for profit...

And security for the rich, is linked with help for the poor.... business is just another dichotomy pair, and you cannot separate one from the other, without eventual insecurity and collapse...
It HAS to be a complete circle or it WILL collapse, I guess nobody studies any Carnage these days?


Ain't no them and us, just myriad forms of us.....

And this is a test... and we can either go thru an incredible trashing, or we can get our trip in order and strive for absolute balance in all things, and so ace the test, and nobody dies....


Which is better? Terminal Vanity? Or Permanent Good?

Balance = Good....

Imbalance = Bad

And theres the difference.... and I predict that when we build artificial intelligence on dichotomy pair algorithms, that the desired outcome of any end use will invariably be in finding the balance point on the numbers line.... like in XYZ coordinates graphics, Zero is the center point... in this case, Zero Problems......



I also have a dream...

That both rich and poor can sleep secure in their beds....

and that no one must worry....

and that all children grow up healthy and happy and get to choose their own paths into a bright future, where all their gifts get put to appreciated uses, and that they never lose their sense of play....

And that none even remotely feel unloved, or unappreciated, or unwanted, or unneeded...

And I am not asking for money, I am asking that everyone help, however they can, by getting any of my concepts you like spread.... thats all....

Spread, what resonates with your heart....

And dont forget to improve upon them.....

Well.... I dont have any radio batteries this weekend, so I dont get to hear any of the Obama Full Court Press... betcha this guy shoots some hoops while the sun shines....

The thing to remember folks, is its going to take us all beginning to do our best, and learning to control our worsts.... Obama cant save your butt, if you aren't helping him do it....

And no, he isn't perfect... but he is trying, and thats more than the last guys did....

They were trying... trying to stuff their pockets, like Pirates in Solomon's Treasure vaults....

Its not in what you can get for yourself..... its in what we can do for ourselves....

Collective.... Village Earth is built on a circular pattern....

What goes around, comes around...

We can live in Social Septic Tanks, or we can smell fresh breezes after summer showers.... the difference is in how we think and live and work and do things.....

Profit for greed's sake is dead end thinking....

But if you have a dream, an end use, a good idea, something that benefits everyone, that is something worth doing.....


Later, did a bath down at the spring, what a nice morning! Starting into dry season!


Spent the wee hours thinking of my upcoming English course, and how to get it to work....

I have a list of a thousand most used words in english, their Spanish translations, and their Spanish phonetics, thinking to pay a street kid I know to go around to all the stores in Canoas, show the list and tell folks they can get a copy at the Liberia where I use the internet, and then have the girl there only copy the complete list, including the title page, which would be an ad for my course.....

I also realized I need to offer Pretty woman a job... as my helper/secretary on Wednesday nights... if I can pull this all together it should be fairly lucrative, and she would learn the most of all of them, if she has to write and search my computer's dictionary etc., as part of the job, plus it would get her and I working as a team..... in front of a lot of people....

Good training... for later working as a team alone.....

I can kind of use her like my Vanna White? The woman on Wheel of Fortune?

Tell her to dress sharp, which she likes to do, and then pay her very well, which she will have a hard time refusing, and then have her figure out that she's learning a lot of english helping me, and that my social reputation has gone through the roof.....

That should help bring on the romance some.....

I'm still snickering about what her co-worker told me, that she's coming around, that she's having a hard time battling against my depth of character etc., I guess I kind of blind sided her a bit with the Grizzled Jungle Hippy look?

She was hoping for some Latin prince Maybe? Like the actor on El Zorro?

Welp... no prince here.... Just some crazy gringo.... that likes to tell the truth instead of beautiful lies.... and who intends to teach English on the big scale from the local standpoint....

And do good things with any and most all profit.....

We shall see.... first I need to find that location.... after the new year, I will be talking to the restaurant owner, and a friend backing me up, and another in reserve....

And if I can draw a crowd, on usually dead Wednesday night, That restaurant owner will turn into another good buddy.....

And the new “Clean” hotel I found is just around the corner from that Restaurant...

And it has a cafe.... for morning coffee together, if she gets any ideas.....

A very beautiful woman...

And a good mom....



I see that her kids love her a lot... She has two nieces living with her, run away mother syndrome, and her brother has to work distant..... I saw one the other day, looks Quaymi indigenous, very pretty, and she so obviously loves her Aunt.... I could literally feel it between them...

I dont have much.... living on about $150/month these days.... but I am starting to help feed that niece a bit..... She was in her school uniform, Aunt/Mom knows the value of education...

Good works, bring good feelings....

Obama is talking about volunteerism....

I think thats a good idea.... Better than being a fat couch potato, and as a Professor/Architect once pointed out to a group of students with me in them;

“Volunteer public service, pays the most.”

He got his “cushy” job, through connections he made working for free.....

Meaning, if you find yourself unemployed, best not sit at home....

See the opportunity in it, and get out, and do something you think needs doing, to make your village a better place.... and gentle rain will fall.....

And if its something you really like doing, you may end up with a better job, than the one you lost....

Times of trials, are times of opportunity....

We see the trials, but in fact they are needed changes coming over the horizon...

And if you let go of enough baggage..... new horizons start looking better.....

Fear stagnation, embrace changes....

Let go of who you think you are, and find out and accept who you really are......

The Obama Renaissance could be what causes your life to flower and produce good seeds....


Monday, December 15th, 2008

Morning, my worker showed up... now hoeing a corn patch.... Ah! The constant battle to keep workers working..... I started an axe handle this morning, for my big axe... the original handle I did of Purple Heart, 13 years ago when I came to Costa Rica, and it rotted around the head from condensation moisture at night.... The Tropics is a bit different, one's electrical extension cords rot from fungus growing on the plastic....

And if you think its nothing to you, wait until things get a bit hotter from global warming....

And then you will see drier days and more humid nights like you have never known....

The drier days will kill your garden, and the humidity at night will rust and rot everything you own....

Its like the day night cycle you already know, inland it results in hotter days and colder nights.... soon we will see such a dichotomy pair also in the Relative Humidity....

Desertification, and damp cold nights...

And the Feminists will be wearing Burkas...

So I do hope Monsanto changes their focus from Roundup resistant corn, to genetic work changing mules to be able to breed, as they are very drought resistant, burros are desert animals, and to the improvement of the Camel/Llama crosses the Arabs are working on....

Corporations now working for the Profit/Greed motive, will have to change gears and start working for the survival motive.... and they wont be able to exist in a social vacuum with class stratification with economics.... Gated Communities can come under siege..... And few are well designed as fortresses....

Profit will soon become an ancient myth....

There will only be cooperation for survival...

Or DEATH, and plenty of it.....

I spent the morning working on my worker's program.....

a waste of time..... but I have little other option.....

Its like two steps forward, slide back one.... dealing with a person raised in a totally egocentric culture.... Latins in the wild are like Piranhas; They will eat you down to the bone, and up to the waterline, no matter what a good stupid cow you are, or how good to them you are, if you get into the water with them.... They are very showy... like Neon Tetras... ace experts at the superficial, but absolutely no depth of character....

The TRUTH is not in them, its on them.... an exterior varnish at best.... a good shellacking......

So.... I waste my time here, teaching the value of honesty, and watch the act improve, but not the person....

Jesus had/has the same problem....

The good news, is the dishonest are slated for extinction....

Which Jesus also warned of.....



Human decency is a survival trait... its what allows us to be able to co-operate in spite of egocentric points of view.....

Cultivate it in yourself.....

Which was also what Jesus spoke of doing.....

Greed is one end of a dichotomy pair.... greed brings extinction.... Balance on the other hand brings longevity....

Jesus also spoke of preparedness.... having your personal trip in order....

The problem with Christianity, is the simple and good has been well perfumed with human shit.... all at an economic profit to this or that group....

The simple teachings of Sages, are invariably turned into mysteries, by those in need of wealth....

Most Sages refused wealth.... thats a major part of wisdom....

All taught balance.....

Anyway..... more corn being planted this morning... have a decent patch of the Red corn coming up, we may have to water it by the bucket..... The dry season is upon us....

I saw this morning the first “Verano Sky”, a condition here with a red haze in the early mornings, above the horizon during the dry season... I'm not sure what causes it... but when you see it, dry season is here....

I am happy to see the corn sprouting.... such an important crop.... Corn is incredible genetics, and people like the Hopis and Anastasie Pueblos lived in desert like conditions by irrigating corn with ditches or by hand with meager amounts of water.... there is an important lesson for the survivalist in that, for whats coming.... after deep rooted food trees, corn is probably your most sure food source... corn only requires a very short wet season, and will keep growing on just soil moisture well into a dry season, and then crop, and dry and do well for the dryness helping to reduce pests etc.

I recommend Indian corn.... its the most balanced genetics, both sweet corn and field corn have been altered to produce other results than resistance to drought and pests.... they are also nutritionally inferior.....

Breeding for Sugar and Starch are not balance.....

The common North American Indian corn isn't known in this area of Central America, there is the imported modern yellow corn genetics, the white hominy corn from Peru and the Andes, and the local version of Indian corn is a Purple corn called “Pujagua” (PU-HOG-WHAH)...

And also there is the Red corn genetics as a recessive in the Yellow corn... but recessive is a misnomer, the Genetics has been strong enough to continue as recognizable, in who knows how many generations of yellow corn.... I suspect it got the Catholic Treatment, like Amaranth did;

that it was blood Colored, and the Church forbade it's growing..... Amaranth was almost entirely lost genetics from this, and I am not sure, but suspect the Red corn I am working alone to bring back, had a similar history... even the local Indians have forgotten it... and it appears in Home saved seed here, but no one pays it any attention, or even thinks about it...

Its genetics is extremely dominant, and if you start choosing seed for it, within only two generations you get this incredible transparent red corn, almost a Crimson color....

I suspect it has the same chemical as red wine for longevity, and also the bran chemical that compliments it.....

Making it perhaps the most valuable food genetics on the planet.....

I hope to get back to where we were before we lost it..... and when I do, and have examples, I will be emailing fotos, and sending it to seed banks etc.

Later... worker just went off with the chemical fertilizer, to hit the corn and beans with... I usually grow 100% organic, but with a new area, and the importance of success, some chemical fertilizer is insurance... we use it like a condiment, way sparse.....

I spend a lot of time programming the Latins.. to date with little results, but also I know when the shit hits, is when the teaching sticks....

I want them programmed to react correctly in crisis....

And one of the reasons I am working toward the English teaching, is because I will use things I know as subjects to teach english from... And when they are staring starvation in the face, they will become very good students...

I had a neighbor this bus trip, induce me to talk, and on a particular subject; defending one's garden from Thieves... he did it on purpose, wanted me to repeat a sermon he heard about but wasn't there for.... I did a fine job... 'Got some wide eyes, and even an angry response from one woman...

They dont like thinking about change.... He liked the sermon.... basically me declaring open season on two legged rats, and that soon even the police would be realizing that it was a good thing to shoot assholes in the corn patch at night... and that they would do, what they do best; “nothing.”

I suspect the angry woman felt it her right to steal from her neighbors... people are like that here.....

Basically what I will do, is re-flavor the cultural organization to adapt to the coming changes, and use the power of the crisis, with my teaching, like a transistor in an electronic circuit; where the crisis causes the desired change to be more marked, (amplified).... Its social engineering, but I am doing it for altruistic reasons....

I dont want to see kids starving in my area, for want of knowledge.... so its been a 13 year struggle trying to prepare them.....


And now I have people calling for this or that sermon........

Oh! the Corn Rat sermon? Gladly!

And when I start teaching English in The local border population center, I will have an amplified effect there also, and I will be fighting the good fight, and all will see that, and I expect soon to have the respect of the local movers and shakers.... If I can boot the English course, I will change the future of my area for the better..... and in time turn out a generation of Honest Latins.... And they are such a good people, if you can get them out of the egocentric mindset....

Just like the rest of you.....

Just like me.....

Greed and self centeredness is how we got into the problems....

They wont get us out of them......

Nor will they save your precious ass.... even if you are Baron Rothschild..... or Charlie Prince....


Repent!



This is the Ghost of Christmas future......



Anyway, got an interesting email from my best friend.... admitting he was upside down on his house and camper... and that I had warned him, and tried to get him to sell both at the height of the bubble, and move into a school bus, which he had..... he could have made a tidy profit, and instead now owes tens of thousands..... and he's seen me predict things over and over..... His wife is nervous around me, tweaks her a bit how I am....

And my advice to all of you, is to start leaning neoindigenous..... and getting mobility and freedom.... so when things get bad, you are gone to greener pastures.....

I also got to look at a foto of Dexter Cattle on Wikipedia..... very nice genetics for whats coming.... I'll give you a “stock” market tip: buy Dexters....



My worker saw the new hoe and Cortesa handle, and commented that most folks dont make handles out of Cortesa because its too hard to work.... I gnaw on it like a dog with a bone.... he told me a story about his dad bringing him a hammer head, and hunk of Cortesa, an uncle wanted a handle, and his dad didn't want to deal with the project due to how hard it is, and my worker has learned how to work it from me.....

I told him I liked the Cortesa, because with proper care, it would last generations even here,
and in what was coming if we had to migrate due to desertification, I wanted us to have the tools to take with us......

I think if the English thing goes, one of the areas I will invest in is in booting up the business making packsaddles etc., and will offer them in Cortesa.... they will not be cheap, but they will be the best on the planet.... we will be using a lot of hand tools and labor intensive methods, because that shit is incredibly hard.... I have to see what the wood will cost, and what the labor adds up to, and about shipping etc., but if I could sell them for less than $500, it would be a deal.... a packsaddle you can fix with a pocket knife... that wont rot, and is incredibly strong.... and in whats coming a man with one of them on his horse gets to haul his tools and food to better lands, and may mean the difference between watching his wife and kids starve to death, and them making it through.....

The foto is on the blog... do your own if you can.... if you cant, and want one, let me know.... I will gladly boot up the business.... and would love to have millions copying my designs.....

I am trying to plant the seeds of a new culture..... a balanced one....

I hope it includes you......

I hope that you realize what I am saying, and at least begin collecting better camping equipment... what is coming after the economic crisis, will make the economic problem be as nothing in comparison.... The bible talks about fire and quakes, which are the logical end result of global warming, also darkened skies, like from Volcanoes... also a logical result to thermal expansion of Tectonic Plates... The Mega-quake is described as; “ No wall left standing.” and thats on the entire planet.... also one third of the ships destroyed, the number in port, and by resulting mega-tsunami.... What this all means, is you had better be mobile, and hopefully already to the safest places you can get to, and be prepared to move again...

The number one danger on the planet is nuclear reactors that aren't shut down and correctly mothballed..... do you suppose the owners and scientists will listen? I dont think so.... greed and hubris....

Meaning you had best get out of Europe, North America, and the Far East.... I dont know if there is a map on the internet of all the reactors, I would suspect so.... winds come mostly from the west due to planet rotation, and with the convection cycles from the northwest in the northern hemisphere, and I presume from the southwest in the southern.... What that means, is there will be some areas that get less fallout than others..... those are where you want to be, and the ones with consistent rainfall are the most valuable.....

I came to Costa Rica 13 years ago knowing this.... and have put up with incredible amounts of shit to stay here.... but it was an easy choice, knowing the alternative....

And I want to be prepared to move again, and so the boat building company... And I have designed the best boat I could to survive whats coming....

This morning I had my worker trying to snow me.... 5 times asked him to do something which he has avoided.... and now its too late.. a simple task, 30 minutes work.... but like my friend with the house and camper, he “Thought” he knew better than me...

Humans suck!

And soon, if you dont have your shit together, it will cost you your life... and maybe you will cost others their lives, with your stupidity....


All I can say, is I tried, and tried, and tried.... until it was too late... with my friends, with my kids, with you.....

Thats the best I can do.....

Because there is no possible better....

And when the shit hits, I will survive one way or another, because I will have fixed myself as well as I may.... and I will have my neoindigenous trip in order... as best I can....

And I will be praying to the great spirit for undeserved mercy even then.....

Because its going to be very very bad......

Plagues, everything..

Sometimes I wish we were still in the Feudal system, and that I could be a Noble.... not for the wealth and comfort, but for the ability to order morons to do as I command, to save their stupid asses.... The Feudal system was based on a warrior class who got fealty from the pheasant classes in turn for protection, The current status quo is obviously thinking in terms of Neo-Feudalism.... But I think they are being unrealistic, and have the concept without considering the roots...

The reality is that real leadership depends on getting one's group through a time of crisis...

I dont think the current status quo who brought on the crisises, is going to save anyone, not even themselves.... Human Stupidity on Steroids.... is a good description of them as a class....

And if you trust them, they will gladly sacrifice you to save their own skins.... its all they know.....

You had better get your trip in order as an individual, and in groups.....

And like General George Patton pointed out:

“If we are all thinking the same, then somebody isn't thinking.”

The pack mentality doesn't make it in survival situations or in war, as Patton knew....

Kissing ass wont save your butt in whats coming.....

But creative problem solving can......

As will following the advice of those who do solve problems.....

There are not many creative types.... less than 1% of population..... Creativity is the hallmark of true leadership.... all else is bullshit....

Anyway... I have clouds, and need to eat today, and feed the dog.....



Morning, Tuesday, 16th December, 2008....

Worker is back hoeing in the corn plantings.... We were chatting, he telling of how they teach the eras in high school here... Real era, modern era, he'd never heard of post modern era....

I woke early, was thinking about dependence and independence... and how now days I still mix with people, but always an eye peeled for how to be more self sufficient, and grab some freedom from it.....

'Tired of people's shit.....

And the sure cure is to just get down to a low enough lifestyle you can do it all yourself...

He's hoeing in the corn, but what I am doing, is starting a garden, and improving it using his hired labor, and each crop a bit more work towards a more civilised garden, with the end goal being a nice big garden I can just take care of my self......

I've realized if you are going to pay for labor, the wisest course is to use the boughten labor to make yourself as independent from boughten labor as possible.... 'been doing it for years with the fruit plantings, but never really thought about it that way......

People tend to start taking one for granted after a time.... and with change being the universal constant, its a good idea to continually work towards personal freedom from human problems....

I think Sylvan Hart had it right, just go off by yourself and create a life.....

But I am a part of a group, so I will act out both scripts at once, and get a balance going that way... its hard to take someone for granted, if they dont really need you....


Was also thinking this morning about how nice the neoindigenous life is.....

And that the Economic problems are going to cause many to learn that truth.....

Rat Race? Fuck that!

What virtue there was in working for a living in town etc., is long gone folks......

Best buy yourself a $3 hoe, and go for it out in the brush... weekends first, camping, and from there its “Camp improvements” and mornings in the garden, and afternoons shelling corn in the shade of your own vine and fig......

We have corn coming up nice..... its a bit late in the season, but the worker actually came up with an idea, and worked more in the direction of a swale, where there is more soil moisture, and it will extend the season for the corn...

He's been planting the corn thick, due to the sprouting problem, and will have to thin it some, but I think the Red corn is still walkin' and talkin'......

My dream is that Hogan on the mountain by the springs, and a corn patch....

I'll do all kinds of other stuff too, but its good to have a heart to go home to.....

I suspect the word Hearth, is a derivative of Heart....

Or vice versa?

Where the fires burn.....

I see the Lima beans that are maturing now are drying and not rotting.... evaporation rate is up with the dry season arriving.... the vines are also still blooming, meaning as long as the soil is moist they will keep cropping... what amazing genetics....

I never was a fan of school lunch Lima beans, but this Giant class seems more mild flavored.....

I wont get to eat any this year, still multiplying seed, but getting enough seed, I may be able to cook up a pot next year.... I would imagine everyone and their brother will be wanting seed by then....

The worker was talking about buying a hoe this morning..... I remember when he gave me a sour look when I said he needed to learn how to use one......

The Tico campesinos mostly use a machete for everything, that and a sharp stick are garden tools here...

I watched him yesterday, using a hoe like I've never seen one used, machete gardening techniques adapted to hoe.... it was excellent.....

He's on his way now to our lime mine, Calcium carbonate? That comes out of the seep springs? The locals bought lime for use in tortilla making and for agriculture, and the Calcium springs were right there, and not enough brains collectively to realize it was usable....

I've found a thousand tidbits like that here......

People just not thinking.....

I love to experiment.... a natural scientist, with out the lab coat, the degree, or the boring job....

I see most of our new banana starts are coming up... maybe have the worker transplant a few more soon..... the two most sure foods in the Tropics are Bananas and coconuts.....

And this year I learned that the Morados were better cooked green than the Cuadrados.....


Good enough I can use them as spud replacements for soup.... meaning if I get enough clumps planted, I can have 100% starch diet security and pretty good eating......

And not buy rice, or have to grow as much if I dont want to......

Basically I have figured out how to live here with low amounts of labor, and am using the worker to boot up what I need to live out the food crisis humming away in the kitchen slicing and peeling veggies and plunking them into the soup pot....

I'll likely have to give a bus sermon on Morados soon.... all the locals are eating boiled Cuadrados, because their father and grand father did.... mostly because the Cuadrados are so easy to grow.... I suspect the Morados must be genetics introduced into the area later, because they grow well here also, but the locals eat them ripe mostly.... they are my favorite ripe banana, but When I tried them as soup spud units, I was surprised... Cuadrados are really boring... and the morados were just flat good as a starch unit.... we are talking green....

They were also good baked in the peel... over the coals.....

I like to push the neoindigenous envelope..... experiment in the direction of simplicity...

It pays.....

Anyway, another beautiful morning, worker now headed down to remove a fence, my asshole neighbor is putting his cattle in people's land down in the village and trashing them.... he knows I'm wanting to barbecue some free beef and have the balls to do it, and the Ticos are afraid of him, so same games, different victims.... and we need the fence and posts elsewhere,
some of the posts aren't much so we will use for our Pizote' wire around the garden, I did some bus sermon on electric fence for Pizotes, they are similar to raccoons, and just trash a corn patch... but I experimented and learned a single wire 8 inches high, and one gets corn.....


I saw one woman nodding her head on that sermon.... corn is an important house crop here, and between the Pizotes and the Neighbor Rat types, its hard to get any into the kitchen... which is why my other neighbor incited me to the rat shooting corn sermon the other day... He groks what I'm doing, a bit of survival programming for the area......

I know I have some fame for my bus sermons.... its funny...... they know I am trying to get them to prepare now, before I was some crazy gringo saying insane shit... now my insanity is looking fairly wise, and I often even get thanked for my teachings....

And like I told my worker the other day: “gonna get ahold of a few heads.” talking about my english course.....

i.e. I will be giving more bus sermons, but in an English course setting......

He knew what I meant.....

People repeat what I say... They talk about my sermons...

Basically I am a social engineer..... at the village level.....

Anyway, our yellow beans are looking pretty good, first planted starting to flower....

Mostly it was to get seed for next year, and to get the worker into the hoe business a bit deeper...

And he is seeing I have something.... a way to grow beans with out the usual slashing the forest or the brush.... meaning when it catches on, people will grow beans next to the house instead of on the mountain.... and leave the forests alone more......

And now I can do a bus sermon on it......

Zen Hoe!

Its a thankless task in some ways, so slow, and they still love to nod and agree, and screw you at every turn..... I wanted to live in a more primitive society, but I didn't realize the Honesty problem, and that it was what kept them primitive....

Its hard to advance when everyone is screwing everyone every chance....

A nightmare version of Nash's equilibrium....

Kinda like what we have going at the top end with the Banksters....

Screw the sheep!

I cant believe the Congress went along... if I were a congressman, you'd have heard a good speech... let em go under, it will be good for the smaller Credit Unions etc.

Basically all they have done, is make things worse....

A pretend fix to the big lie.....

And I suggest anyone with half a brain begin leaning Neoindigenous, it fixes so much in one's life... Personally I think the Control Heads/Greed Heads, and the Stupid Sheep class are both headed for extinction.... Mutual Self Assured Destruction...

Workers who dont work and managers who mismanage..... yea.... that'll work, sure..... a GREAT model to base a civilisation on....

And I dont think moving to China will help..... Just accelerate the downhill trip...

Basically we need to push the space elevator thing like crazy, and give everyone possible on the planet a hoe and some land, and a good paying market for any and all excess organically grown food...

Is that too complicated?


ASENSORS MORE!
I was thinking this morning how to do the Asensor, that the bigger models would require boosting a counterweight upwards above, the same time and rate as “lowering the hose”.....

also will require at least three guy-wires and a fourth pull-down cable..... much better to use the counterweight for the rough mass, and leave a little to pull, allowing good control... if the engineers and physicists all do their jobs, one might be able to pull the pull-down cable to the tune of a couple tons, and lower something incredibly massive like a feather... its all going to be in the counterweight, it's suspension and braking systems and its thrusters.... ( I think suspension should be air cylinders, and the breaking system like the torque converter in a truck transmission, but perhaps using water as fluid/coolant, and built with a shade to use the lowered temps to convert the braking energy between the counterweight and the lowering tube to heat.) That alone should be a major project... but if we put up smaller versions first, we can shoot up materials to build the factory for the big hose, and the stuff for the fuel and oxidizer for the thrusters.... for a counterweight there are various options, I suspect a small asteroid would serve fine... which would be another interesting thing to make happen..... maybe look for a Nickel Iron unit, and after you use it as the counter weight, cut it up and build the station out of it?

Once the big hose is properly anchored, one could carefully pull against it, and slowly bring the counterweight mass back down to the top end.... I would probably also have the booster turbine housings already built into the hose, and maybe add the turbines and power plants later, as a way of keeping the mass down until the whole Goddammit is in place and solid like......

Some little car on a strip? Get outta here! No Imagination 101 course at the U.?

You guys must be really boring for the girls to date....


Later.... read for a while, couldn't get into it..... when one lives a real adventure, pretend ones seem less real.... I find myself content these days, Still love travel and adventure, but I want it to be real....

I think what amazes me, is how so many are wrapped up in the pretend, and real life is so easy once one learns to let go of the insecurity and go for it.....

Our heros in the book are doing some strange things, riding horses, camping, protecting themselves, and it strikes me that all of these activities are very affordable for the Neoindigenous type.... Horses eat grass.... and you have to grain them in winter... or you can ride them farther south.... grain takes the growing or the buying.... riding farther south takes the idea and the just doing it... Our heros; camping? Gee that costs a lot with a motor home, fuel, licenses, Mechanical problems, you name it.... but with a horse, it gets real cheap....

Two horses are better than one, then you can ride one and have a packsaddle on the other....

Its like being a backpacker without the stone.....

A decent pack pony can carry about 100 pounds..... more for short distances....

Thats a lot of gear....probably 3 or 4 of my current refugee packs..... one horse....

I've seen $50 ponies.... “To a good home”..... how bout to a good climate?

The most important thing about horse care is hooves... cleaning and trimming.... forget shoes, thats for morons with more money than brains... if you figure to travel some on hard pavement buy some plastic boots or make some out of tire rubber.... Tires are easy to cut up if you get cloth belted, and avoid the cable in the bead.... you need a sharp knife, a vise, and a helper to pull opposite the vise while you cut.... you can drill tire rubber with an electric drill....

After the feet, next biggest problem is bugs and parasites.... flea and tick powder for dogs works fine, even in the ears.... (Not in the eyes!)

internal parasites require drugs... $15-$20 most places for 3 months.... you can also use Tobbaco... horses love the shit, chewing plug tobacco, so do goats..... And its fairly deadly shit to most intestinal parasites....

The thing to remember, is horses eat grass, and anywhere its green is fine to a horse.....

meaning if you take care of the horse, you can stay with the green grass.... there is enough grass on the sides of county highways to feed a million horses... and the county has to spend a lot of money to mow it.... no body will complain if your horse helps some as long as he doesn't get out with the cars.... a simple solar fencer in your pony cart?

That would make you free with about 50 states.... is that enough space for you?

Then there is off road travel.... plenty of space between the highways out west etc.
Some places 50 miles or so on a side with nary a human in it.....

And stuff for horses to munch here and there.....

If I for some crazy reason ever decided to live in the US again, which I doubt, I would probably own two horses, some camping gear, and a few gardening tools and a bow and arrows or a high powered rifle, and maybe a shotgun and a .22 rifle... I would live somewhere a bit southerly, and maybe wander north in spring and south in fall, fishing and gardening here and there and planting fruit trees along creeks in places with warmish dry climates in summers and go south to warmer climates for the winter... not a hard life, with maybe the north-south distance a couple hundred miles or so, where ever I could find the best pasture and gardening and fishing for the least distance seasonally....

10 miles is a nice long distance for a day.... so say 25 days travel 2X per year.... and hole up at both ends of my route.... I would avoid highways, and stick to BLM roads or the outback if it was brush free and had water here and there.....

My house would be a tarp, and some rope, and my kit look like some miner's out of the late 1800's.... a simple life, and a good one.... occasionally I'd wander through a town shopping for used clothing perhaps, maybe take a part time job now and then to buy a stash of corn or something for the winter.... The secret would be in just wanting that life, and being happy living at such a basic level.....

I have learned enough about living simple that such a life wouldn't even bother me....

And if I had to start from zero, I would work just long enough to get the horses and gear, and I'd make a lot of the gear....

Its not hard folks, its preferable..

The big problems would be food and clothing...

And I am munching a bowl of rice as I write, not 50 cents worth of food to live a day on....

And I am wearing a pair of shorts that cost $4 new....

The big secret is climate....

I suspect the reason the Puritans settled so far north, is so everyone would have to work hard... the rest is history....

I am a fluent Spanish speaker now, and would do fine in New Mexico, or the southwest US...
I would avoid the really serious desert areas.....
I might spend my winters in Mexico....

I doubt I would bother owning land....

Its just another way to pay taxes....

The only real problem is in your head, and many buy more money in books about adventure and camping and such than would cost the horses and gear....

A hundred books at $5 each is a nice horse at an auction....

And if you know how to walk, and build a packsaddle out of pallet lumber, one horse is enough to pack your gear....


Morning, Wednesday...December 17th, 2008.....

My worker is doing more corn patch, he got a good area done yesterday... beans are looking good, the hoe system in the small brush is working well, and he is seeing that, so once again past the blockage and resistance with him....

Its constant, Hell for me, I get it from all my friends and family... I see ahead, try to get them positioned, and its like farming with mules.....

“Listen you stupid Mule! I'm trying to grow corn, so you have something in the grain bin this winter too!”

I read some in the Teachings of Buddha last night.... more surprises for me, stuff with connections to teachings in the Bible and the Tao... and to things I have learned the hard way...


Buddha way down on dishonesty and greed.... sound familiar?

Also he points out dichotomy pairs....

Like a story of a man that has a beautiful woman show up at his door, and he invites her in... She says she's the Goddess of Wealth... and he is very pleased..... but then another knock at the door and he answers it, and its a Hag.... and he tries to run her off, but she says she is the Goddess of Poverty and the sister of the Goddess of Wealth, and where her sister goes, she follows....

The moral is obvious, and I've touched on it many times without the fun parable... Wealth creates Poverty.... Take a look at the world these days and deny it.....

Its balance we need to be after and not endless wealth... a quest for endless wealth is a quest for doom....

A quest for real, and not just lip-service balance, is how the rich man can find the security he craves.....

Or you for that matter... your Lust for materialism and imagined security in the big lie has you burdened with shit you dont really need, and dying of cancer..... albeit slowly....

Freedom is being able to do what you like to do.....

Living a rat race life, working a job that emotionally and physically trashes you, driving an hour each way in “bumper to rumper”, and then coming home to a plastic tray dinner and a TV vegetative state, and cycle endlessly more of the same, is not a life worth living....

nor is a nose in a book..... like TV, Books can be another form of Opiate dream.......

If you want a life with a horse in it, get one... both the horse, and the life that comes with it and vice versa.....

Know that the Ranch style in the burbs, and a book, is NOT a ranch with a horse....

What amazed me most in my own Odyssey, was how easy it was after the actual decision...
That was what required the most guts....

Simple fear of the unknown....
Even more simple cure....

Just do it.....

And as I have shown, there is a “low voltage” way to do the job....

Its called Minimalism.... you dont need the Ranch, or the Ranch Style house, nor the job to pay for them.... You need the life with the horse... the rest is filler... and some filler is spendy and some is free... Like the story about the Guy with the cart and draft horse a year or so back in this blog.... the guy obviously didn't own a Ranch, Ranch Style, etc. but he did have a very nice Horse, a nice flatbed cart, a pallet's worth of possessions neatly tied and covered, and he did have a compass direction, and a coat and boots and a hat...

I think he was doing better than you are..... he had what he needed and wanted...

What do you have? What you need and want? Or what your personal insecurity has you doing? Grow up! And quit being a baby human....

Become a mature human, and go for your dream....

I would buy a different horse, I would build a different cart, I would wear a different hat, all because I am not the same guy... but his business model is a very valid one, especially in whats coming.....

I have a horse, and a farm, and a tent, and a life.... and I am not much interested in TV, Fiction Reading, or holding down a Rainbow Nigger job.....

To me prepping to do my english course one day a week is a stretch of my reality....

But I like teaching, and have the vocabulary....

Also like a certain woman, who only needs to connect her heart with her coconut, and realize she needs me......

And she is getting there....

And I want to build boats.... so its easy.... I know how to go for my dreams in real-time....
Not stuck in Literary Wonder Land....

Or TV Heroin Land.....

Are you a technocult insecurity Junkie?

Do you have an excessive materialism Jones?

Do you need counciling for it?

Well, this is it moron, this is the counciling.... and you dont have to pay me $100 an hour, or look at my wall hanger degree, or pretend your welfare is at heart to me....

Just do it...

One step at a time... Which funny enough is something else Buddha talked about a lot...

Doing things step by step, and that everything worth doing was done in that manner...

Want a Horse? Well.... what do you have to change to get from point A to point B?

Living in the City? Have a high paying job?

Are they worth more than the life with the horse to you?

If not, begin working on changes....

Guys can help.... plenty of them living in the countryside alone, with a farm and a horse....

Plenty of women doing the same.....

Or you can free lance... take a course at your community college, get access to the tools, learn the skills, Metal shop, Wood shop, build the cart.... If you built it, you can fix it....

and once you have it, you can fill it with the things you didn't get rid of....

And add a few more things you'll need....

Lets see.... what are we missing? Why the horse! Best buy one! And have the harness made ahead of time.... that way you dont have to rent pasture... just rent a Ryder Van for the cart and the stuff that goes in it, take the cart and stuff and harness to where the horse is, dump out the cart and stuff, deliver the van back to Ryder, call a taxi, back to the horse, clean and trim his/her hooves, put the harness on, slowly!, hook him to something too heavy to run off with, and teach him to pull carefully, and then after a couple of days of that, get him used to the cart, and become a horse trainer/owner, and when he's got the idea, lead him off into the sunset with all the shit you really need.......

Where was the hard part?

Well, learning the horse how to not fear the cart, and learning yourself not to fear the supposed insecurity of quitting your job and selling your house in town....

What are the rewards?

A real life, absolute freedom, and a bright future as a neoindigenous person/tribesman.....

One step at a time..... its easy.... and considering what is coming... a very wise and security enhancing decision.......

Mobility is Security...

as is Minimalism and simplicity....

as is self sufficiency...

as is horse power with no Arab influences other than maybe the horse's genetics... no Petroleum! Only in the cart bearings as lubricant.....

What would I choose for my year's survival food in the cart? Cracked Indian corn and split peas, coffee, tea, sugar, salt, flour, soap, oil, matches, candles, etc., simple stuff... cracked corn makes good hot cereal, good corn bread, even a rice replacement it you get the water amount right....

Peas are quicker to cook, than beans, easier to digest, and dont smell up your sleeping bedding....

We are talking about a better life....

and so easy to do....

and you get to save a horse from the butcher's.....

Thats the beginning of a better path.....

Come on south... stop by the farm and visit for awhile.... put the horse in the pasture, camp by your cart over there... the spring is up that trail over there..... do you like to work in the garden?

Its that simple.....


By the way... something I've noticed.... people are more welcoming to complete strangers with horses (and carts​?), than they are to people who show up in shiny cars with business suits on...

A horse makes new friends easy for you....

Its because people know the horse isn't trying to screw them, and the people in the shiny car invariably are.....




ON CARTS

Horse and pony carts used to be made mostly of wood, with few metal parts... this was because wood was ubiquitous and easily worked, and metal was costly....

Wood rots, metal oxidizes...

some metal oxidizes very slowly, can be painted, etc.

If I were building a cart, and finances weren't a problem, I would make it out of aluminum tubing, with fairly thick walls on the pipe, or box tubing...

I would triangulate the structure, and try to make it as strong as possible and as light weight as possible..

I would use aluminum sheet or plywood with epoxy for the bed....

I would use heavy nylon strap for the harness... with copper harness rivets, and sewn, by hand with an awl and pliers in my case, or maybe get a shop with an industrial sewing machine to do it in yours?

I would build the cart with about 24 inch sides, of aluminum tubing that were part of the structure, and from there go to fibreglass or solid aluminum rods for a round topped truck tarp cover like a Conestoga wagon, but smaller.... I have and like small horses, so I would make my cart about 6 feet wide and 8 feet long at most, not counting the poles....

for wheels, I would use either 5 hole/lug boat trailer axle stubs with aluminum wheels, and tubeless tires of heavy ply with tubes put into them... if possible I would look for some Mag wheels that were put together with say allen screws, i.e. Where you could disassemble them and do your tire work easily and not need a shop, or tire tools.....

The reasons I would use boat trailer axles, is size and weight, and that I could get them with Bearing buddy seals and grease zirc fittings, I couldn't afford or get boat axle gear, I would be looking for the front end off of a 4 wheel drive Japanese pickup truck or light vehicle like a Suzuki Samauri.... If I planned on mostly open country I would use a straight axle of steel pipe welded into the ball covers where the universals were, in the free floating bearings on said truck running gear... if my horse was larger, a draft horse, I would go bigger, like ¾ ton front end or rear free floating hubs.... If I planned on traveling in rocky areas, or with stumps, humps, brush, etc. I would replace the straight axle with an A-arm system to leave the center open under the cart.....

The most common mistake and the mistake to most be guarding against, is building the cart too heavy and big for the horse.....

Just because it isn't you personally pulling the cart , doesn't mean you can have what ever you want size and weight wise... horses have limited strength and even more limited endurance, and every ounce you save on cart weight, is an ounce of possible cargo, or a few steps more before the horse has to rest....

I would rig the brakes, preferably disks, with a master cylinder and approved lines and hoses just like the vehicle the axles came from... but I would use a lever instead of a pedal and I would have a lock for the lever.... much like an emergency brake, but hydraulic and not cable actuated...

I wouldn't bother with a horse collar.... just a simple harness, he's not pulling a plow... just a cart as small and light as I can build, and with the least load I can bring myself to own....

Freedom and security come from having less and not from having more......

Personally I would try to keep the cart under 300 pounds, and the load another 500 or so at most.... weigh the horse if you have to, and go for about 3/4's of his weight as max combined load in flat country.....

Half would be better....

its like backpacking, only with the poor horse doing the suffering.... Watch the ounces and the pounds will take care of themselves, and you also wont trash your horse, and get what you deserve for doing it... i.e. Stranded.......

If I had a really small pony, I would go for a 6 foot long cart... just long enough in the bed to do just that: use it for a bed on rainy days and nights.... There is a lot of potential these days for a seriously good life in a really tiny space.... a laptop computer with satellite internet? Music system and a solar panel? A small propane stove? Like car camper sized?
A cooler, a ten plastic water tank? A 12 volt motorcycle or small car battery?
Diode lights? A bucket and a stainless bowl instead of a sink like a camper.....

A tiny wood stove? Like that will take a couple hunks of 2x4 or pallet wood, or sticks? Say with a fire box thats 8x8x16 inches.... and I'm not talking a cook stove....

Sure is nicer than paying rent.... and every sunset and every sun rise, yours.... and no hurry, no job... a much fewer problems....

The Economy is trashed, The Rats turned it into Swiss Cheese.... the big Lie is in failure mode... Government and big business are the Public Parasites #1 and #2.....

Its small businesses and small people who are the backbone of a culture, and who get screwed the most and helped the least....

Eat organic, shop small businesses, live humble, let go of Rabid Materialism, let go of TV brain douche, and take your freedom, and not lose your life going down with a sinking ship.....

Its still a wide world....outside the cities its still open and spacious.... there are creeks to camp by, places you can garden, places to visit, and good people to meet......

You dont need a regular job, a house, a car, or an education....

What you need is enough guts and brains to get out in time.....

One of the things one discovers with a simple life, is that you spend a lot of time working with your hands.... my worker even commented on it the other day, he has a list of small projects that need attention.... This morning I worked some more on the handle for my big axe.... bringing the head up the handle, its a Spanish style axe, not american...

I like a 3 lb axe, 3 and a half is for bigger guys, Swedes, Pollocks, Big Germans.....

I am doing a 36 inch handle... E=MC2, meaning velocity is more important than mass.....

Longer handle is more velocity......

But back towards point some; its lots of small projects to keep the hands busy.... I've found that just keeping the hands busy while I think about all the other stuff is a good way to get my thinking done, and also the minor chores.....

I make a lot of stuff, much of it just on whims... its entertainment, its rewarding, and its surprising to people who dont understand where all the neat stuff comes from.....

More Retro cultures knew all this.... its the TV hounds that need to hear it.....

TV is empty calories...... it plays with your mind and emotions, but it isn't love, it isn't a life, it isn't real.....

And it wont feed you.....

And the big teat in the sky is run mostly by the Rat Tribe....

Dont believe it? Look at your cheese next paycheck, and there on the pay-stub, you will see where its been “Swissed”.....

Its being Swissed more by inflation....

And they are passing new Laws in Costa Rica making it more Bicycle friendly, including against the Latino-Egomobiles that kill more people here, than you can possibly imagine, with bike and people on foot having ZERO rights here..... I've predicted this change for years.... in fact have been herding my worker mule towards a bike repair business..... for years....

This morning he was who told me about the new laws, and I finished up piecing together his bike business in his hard head.....


He learned how to spoke wheels from my instruction, some of his tools I gave... push, push, push for years literally, pushing the mule up the mountain of doubt.... and now, everybody in the area brings their bike to him to fix.....

A couple months back I bought a wire brush for the electric grinder.... and got him to try it on a bike frame......

My Niece's mom is getting a nice 24 inch frame painted, she's small, all mostly my doing, pushing my young mule friend.......

Its the same thing with my blog.... except I dont have to put up with you, your shit, or you sandbagging me and me still paying you....

It was so good reading Buddha last night... realizing I needed to keep pushing mules and ignore the smell and the sweat and the lack of rapid progress....

Grunt!

Gawd! Folks! I'm not doing all of this for a profit....

I dont have a shiny car and a business suit....

I do this because I have a mental defect; I want to help others....

Not a good defect to have so far.... usually I get trashed in thanks for trying to help....

Human decency is a low paying job.....

But it has its rewards....

One has improved luck in a crisis....

What more could I want with the shit hovering on the horizon?

Money is going out of style..... but friends are the best helpers.....

But boy are they a pain in the ass to get to do anything ahead of the curve....

Its like the mule, when the corn is in his trough, he has no problem making it disappear... but when he has to pull the plow to grow it, there is no way in hell he can see it as in his benefit....

People are animals.... and an ant is smarter than most humans.... it at least knows that if it works hard and asks for little, that the food will be there when it needs it....

Humans are an animal out of balance, a work in progress.... and the Ranchers will soon be back to pick up the pieces of genetics that survive the test and improvement regimine...

Buddha, Lao Tsu, Jesus, Muhammed, all say pretty much the same things... do you 'spose they could sit down to Wine and bread and cheese at a picnic together, and not bicker about things?

And yet their disciples and everybody else, fight wars for God's sake? Or is it really for their own ego's sake? If your ego is your God, you belong to the Snake Clan.....

The reason we have EGOs, is for survival purposes.... if you do not control your own ego, it will eventually work against you and against that very purpose....

And having a bunch of Greedheads on TV lying to you and selling you shit you dont really need, and sucking you into a life that isn't a life, but in fact the worst form of slavery in human history.... such a slick slavery plan the mule doesn't know its a meat animal....

Listen Mutton heads..... get out, and go for your dreams, they exist to save your ass from your ego and vanity.......



Thursday, December 18th, 2008...

Morning.... been up since 2:am, started working on the axe handle at dawn, just finished it, and stoned the rust off the head... turned out nice, I want to epoxy the head on, I made the handle a bit wider than normal, to make it stronger, as its my serious use axe at 3 lbs.


I have a smaller, similar axe, with a purple heart handle I made, much thinner handle, for packing into the outback, and also I have a small double bitt cruiser's axe, so popular with guys in Oregon for in the 4wd pickup.... I have a new Cortesa handle made for it, lacking fitting and wedging the head on....

I think I own 3 axes and 3 hatchets... no, 4 hatchets... very useful tools to the outdoorsman...

So, while you were watching “Good morning America”, I was making an axe handle that would pass for something out of the 1700's on a movie about Colonists....

The head is one I bought locally, and its original style I'd call “Spanish Inquisition” and I altered it from the Classic Beheading style into something more Early American.... I did one for my no. 2 son, and left it beheading style and did a custom handle with finger grips top and bottom, of purple heart, he got to take it home on the airlines, back before homeland insecurity dept., and no doubt it adorns his apartment these days... Something for his friends to gulp at... and for him to defend hearth and home with, and the number one survival tool in northern climes.... I think it was a 3 or 3.5 lb head, he's a fair sized kid, Mostly German/Irish/Polish Genetics, and I sized the handle to him....

I love axes, have since I was a kid.... and I have learned a lot about them over the years....

I get 20 years or more out of a handle usually, I dont chew up the handle like most folks, have learned to make my errors on the short side, and not trash my handles....

This Cortesa handle finished this morning will likely last the rest of my life, unless I break it somehow, Cortesa will break, generally from Harmonics more than anything else....the stuff is so hard, and strong, but you get just the right hit and it will break..... its wood, albeit incredibly good wood, its still just wood....

One learns about Limits in life....

Read more Buddhist teachings last night, mostly its simple fundamentals, makes sense, if you have a culture that teaches its kids to be honest hardworking good citizens and to use their heads, it does OK.... Most of which is lacking in the world these days.....

Anyway happy to have my big axe back in service, may it go up the Stargate ramp with me...

I have some other handles to make.... one for my Pro-Carpenter's framing hammer, a Vaughn, about 22 oz.? If I remember correctly...

I'm not a big guy... built like a Miniature German... have the long walker shape in a downsized unit.....

But its been an efficient housing for me..... and has managed to avoid death on several occasions...... Where maybe a bigger box might have bought it.....

I like staying thin, for the longevity factor, and also for agility purposes.... its like being a kid! I can run and jump and roll, and climb.... And I have weighed nearly 200 lbs before, and it felt bad..... now I prob'ly weigh 145?


Its one of the reasons I like living in the tropics, your body doesn't try or want to store up fat for the winter like a bear....

And you dont need to eat to stay warm.... its kind of like the clothing here, you just do what it takes to get by.....

So, anyway, another Stargate Item, and a good one..... it will pass inspection in the eye of the needle.... which is why I think about longevity factor, would like to live long enough to make it to life extension, and Other Suns and Planets.......

I am an explorer and adventurer by nature.....

And can think of nothing I'd rather do in the Universe, than just that.....
I see the current times as an intermediary epoch, Between Post modern, and Futuristic....

Futuristic begins when either the Space Elevator goes up, or the Ranchers get back, which ever comes first....

I suspect after thousands of years of Sages suggesting we get our shit together individually and collectively, and us not doing it, that the chances of us doing it now, on any scale are marginal...

Meaning its most likely we face the Apocalypse script.... and then the Ranchers....

Alas Babylon!

But all is not lost if enough of us come out of her, and manage to keep the Libraries booted up....

Intellectually, its library science that glues the technocult together.... and one of my personal projects in the coming time, is a personal digital library in the gigabites class... and a reader I can power with a panel or even a crank handle...

And all small enough to go into a refugee pack..

I suggest the rest of you do likewise.... in case mine doesn't make it through whats coming...

Personally I think it should be like a talisman; that every serious survivalist have such a library... several copies, one around his neck....

I'm enjoying thinking about the future these days, The technocult has numbered days if it continues on the Greed motive.... the Greed motive would work in space, with limitless everything to go for, but on a planet, no.......

So I see the future having three basic scenarios....

Armageddon and beyond.... not good....

Steady state via Retro cultures.... mediocre....

or Get our shit together and “Up and Out”... the best option....

The most likely? Door number one....

Not good.....

Because Humans are not good, they just think they are...

Being good doesn't seem to be the relaxed state of the modern mind...

It takes effort, continual effort to fight one's desires and ego and be a decent person, instead of a Me Monster.....

And we have a culture that pushes Me-Monsterism really really hard, for the profit motive....

Its why I like the baggage limits of neoindigenism....

I'm attracted to some Vanity.... saw an electric Guitar I liked.... It will most likely go away long before I can get it... but its fun to dream of having such a thing... I have a small acoustic I am learning on....

I consider musical instruments to be good neoindigenous investments....

I dont like canned music much.... the whole world seems to be addicted to 2nd hand music by professionals, I like first hand music by me... and by other real people... not plastic types on the TV..... some decent music makes it to the Head Box, but most of what makes it big time is pablum.....

Like everything else, engineered to suck money out of stupid slaves......

I see music as a form of personal expression...

Most people seem to be Head Beaters with ear buds these days....

I'd rather listen to coyotes howl.....

What is the Goal of Neoindigenism? Get right with Nature, and so survive and prosper....

Money is not prospering... Have you noticed?

There are a few assholes using money to prosper, but chances are you aren't one of them, nor will you be... in fact, if you want to improve your odds of prospering and having a happier life, the Neoindigenous trip is the best way I can think of.... Literally....

Get Honest with yourself at least... if you aren't happy in the rat race, get out of it....

Go Crazy! I did, worked like a charm!

'Had a midlife crisis at 39, bagged it all and moved to the tropics, and invented one man's neoindigenism, and the rest is fun history....

And to this day, still bettering my life..... my biggest hold up, was believing in other people....

Now I believe in me.....

And I believe in the sun rise, and sun set, and that the moon will go through it's phases, no matter what, and that Coyotes will howl long after the Cities are rubble.....

So, I'll place my bet with the Coyotes, bet my life.....

Humanity is edging towards disaster on a hundred fronts......

Any one of which can trash us....

Find your own balance.....

Coyote a capello is a fine tune to howl....



Morning, Friday, December 19th, 2008....

Oh! boy!, expect a rant.... having problems with everything from my computer to my worker to my kid....

And all stemming from the same basic problem....

Human Nature...

Everybody continually fucking everybody, inevitably results in a fucked up world...

How can humans not get that?

I dont know.....

Sages for thousands of years pointing the same thing out.....

Farming corn for mules, with mules.... doesn't pay....

Mules will be Mules.....

So will humans...

So todays topic is likely to be a familiar one.....

Independence, self sufficiency, Freelancing, Freedom, etc.

Worked on my axe handle a bit this morning, waiting for the worker to arrive... doing some finger notches, would like to have a foto, but thats my computer problem....

Modem hasn't arrived, so could have been snagged by a thief...

Tried to get my kid to block it before he sent it, but he was in Mule listening mode....

And my worker unilaterally decided a couple days ago to not remove rocks from the new garden like I asked, as he planted the corn... meaning they will still be there next time....

Human egocentric thinking is Human Stupidity....

And its why I want to go boot up my boat business solo in Panama.... maybe with a woman, as she will affect the business less, as its totally outside her areas of experience and interest, and if we work together, it wont be on that in a literal sense... She'll bring me lunch or something she is competent to do....

And I will build boats, most likely solo, to avoid having a worker fuck them up for me, by taking the path of least work invariably, inevitability, and incessantly....

And I spent a couple hours so far explaining to my worker about the garden project and the whys of rock removal etc.....

It just doesn't pay, to do more, than take care of your own needs, yourself...

Which explains a lot of problems with the technocult, we are trying to do too much too soon, and with humans that are neither evolved or trained to think in any mode other than egotistic....

I've been reading Buddha....

Guess what its about?

Yup... training your mind not to be egocentric......

And how to survive in a Rat Race world of 2 thousand or so years ago....

Buddha hammers on the same themes continually...... same ones Lao and Jesus hammered on...

Gotta get a Koran, and see if Muhammed is in agreement? I suspect so.... Sharia law was likely a counter to egotistical human nature...

“you want to be a thief and trash others? We cut off your hand.... keep it up, we cut off your head!”

Simple.... Genetic editing of the thief tendencies in their genome pool.....

We breed them, and pay welfare mothers to produce plenty, and then house and feed them at
public expense between their “Shopping Sprees”.....

And I hear people bad mouth Sharia law continually.... for Allah's sakes folks, its a desert culture, they cant afford thievery, their survival margin is too narrow!

And very soon it will be the same for us!

With global warming etc., soon we wont be able to put up with shit in our own culture like we do now...

A Classic is adultery.... Buddha talks about Lust being the engine that hauls the train of other problems (speaking figuratively using an analogy after his epoch...) what is it going to be like 20 years in the future, or even 5? are we going to be able to support a lust and vanities culture when there isn't enough food to go around and not enough potable water to drink? And we have some types who think they can spread legs and spread AIDS for personal pleasure and ego?

I dont think so.....

So instead of bad mouthing the Muslim faith, I suggest we begin to learn from it....

We just might need the teachings ourselves.....

Ditto with all the other faiths and philosophies....

I'm thinking these days, to maybe do a little research into that very area...

After beating my head on the rocks for several years, and finding I had the info in a Buddha book on my own shelf? Perhaps a smart guy would read up a bit on the various styles of thinking promoted by various cultures, and so be ready when the shit hits, with a repretore of cultural tricks in his bag to lay out when problems arose in his clan/tribe....


Gee? 'Never read a single thing about Zoroaster.... better check it out eh?

Could find something useful there......

Anyway... I did read some Buddha last night.... and applying it this morning, with the worker, keeping my Patience, and low and behold got some results, got to see the head nod at what I was saying.....

My problem is I am very group oriented and very forward thinking... and most people live in a smaller box.... now, and mostly how things affect them in that same now......

I heard him removing rocks again.....

'Gotta keep reins on the mules?

Anyway, this morning's wanted point, is that I think people who try to run large organizations with common folk are asking for trouble, and a lot of “meetings”... As people are best at thinking of themselves, and so such cooperation is going to be difficult at best....

Its why I think our focus needs to be more on Mom and Pop businesses and less on big Corporations, the average person isn't really cut out to work in the larger cooperative setting,
and people who do, should be filtered, perhaps with Psychological evaluations, looking for integrity/honesty and cooperative social natures, Making management less necessary and less odious, by having the right people from the get-go in the right jobs, and less trying to farm corn with Mules who dont understand.....

Encourage the “Free Mules”, and fine tune the “Cooperative World”, and fix the dichotomy pair from both ends....

And gentle rain will fall.....

on all of us.....

I see the “Control Issue” with humanity, as being an unnecessary battle... and I just laid out how to fix the problem by accentuating current positives a bit.....





Also I have realized, the less I need others, the more they will need me.....

Its a strange universe.... made up entirely of opposites and their intermediate gray areas.....

Anyway, the worker got tired of corn and rocks, and is now digging out a spring for water for the horses.... I suggested he think about us building some stone work in that spring to make it better for the horses and us in the future...

What I see the potentials are with the neoindigenous thing, is to use available materials to create a better world for all......

And instead of Building Los Angeles, maybe we should put millions to work building stone pools at springs, and carving trails, and bettering campsites, and planting fruit trees, and studying on how to become better humans mentally, And teach what we learn to our children, instead of leaving them to TV and Video games, and junk food, while we play Rainbow Niggers to our Vanities and trash what was once a beautiful planet with our head trips.....

Andre Norton was right in her book; Moon of Three Rings..... we can choose something else...

And there is where I found some of the seminal thoughts of neoindigenism.....

Its at Gutenberg books as a free download.... get the rest of her stuff too... The woman and her writings have been a main mentor to me.....

Its time to put the pieces together book heads..... come out of the magic spell and use the stories in real life..... its time to create a new replacement culture for one that is going inoperative.... And the status quo's vision of a neo-feudal reality is not a pretty dream except for them.... I suggest we flavor it a bit more neoindigenous, as most of us are more than a bit Mulish.......

The Feudal era was mostly good for the nobility...... and I see a lot of writers using the cultural style as if of course the hero and heroine are noble..... well the real statistics would say otherwise, and being a slave isn't much of a life...

I think there will be some feudal aspects to the coming civilisation and culture, but I hope like hell it isn't the vision of the current New World Order types we end up with collectively, as they seem to be mostly a bunch of sleazy Greedheads, pushing the big lie for all they are worth, And I for one, will run for the brush, before I will run for a work camp....

“Wild Mule!”


Another point I wanted to make this morning was about something I read in the bible....

That in the heavens, the slaves are “circumsized in the head, and fear for their lives.”

Interesting passage.... in light of Genesis 6.......

I wonder if its how they fix standard humans to operate as decent reliable workers?

I think I would rather fix my own head, thank you.....

Supposedly they will have 144,000 Chosen types, and the rest slaves.... I wonder if the chosen types are those who fix their own heads? Seems to be what the book says.....

Kind of a threshold there..... one I would want to be on the right side of.... as it sounds more than a bit Feudal, and more Indians by far, than Chiefs......

Not everybody is going to get to be a noble.... only those who figure it out, and get noble in their own heads..... The rest are comparative garbage, some burned, some used as slaves....

Thats fair incentive to maybe study Wisdom 101...... and read all the texts? Not just one?

Anyway, also got an invite to go spend Christmas on the Boruca Indian Reserve, at some people's home I really Like.... to get there its a boat trip in a dugout, across a wide river, and then up a smaller river.... very pretty area, I could camp there forever.... The people I will stay with are incredibly decent folks... and grandparents of my niece.... so I will be exploring the river, it has rock bottom and sand and gravel bars, and awesome waterfalls, and is a different drier ambient than that of my farm.... Also will talk about a contract on getting some seed and cuttings and small Cortesa Morado trees... better wood than the Cortesa Amarillo I so love, and the flowers cover the hillsides there in Royal Purple...... Imagine growing several types of wood similar to Lignum Vitae.... I have a Cortesa Amarillo ring going to espalier a house out of, and am thinking to also do a living round barn out of alternated and grafted Cortesa Amarillo and Morado... should be pretty in flowering season, Purple and gold......

And so are the gifts of the neoindigenous life.....

Its a real life.... it has its frustrations, but I am learning.... and sharing..... with you....


I once heard a quote, dont know from who, but that the best thing one could do for their friend was share their thoughts with them.....

And I still dont know personally if a single person has read this blog.... I just got sections 9,10, and 11 up, they were missing, and I dont grok the blog controls yet, my son is helping as an intermediary.... I think we should be up to section 15 now.... Its been a long odyssey so far, from the first pages, and list of 24 items etc., but I am forward leaning, and I am social, and if someone can benefit from my writings, well, thats why I do them.......

I think I have come up with some interesting concepts here and there..... some things in want of testing..... but I have a good personal rate of success with my ideas....

I once came up with an improvement concept for a production line in a local Faber Castille colored pencil factory..... Three Certified and licensed engineers with a contract to keep the plant up to date, unanimously denied my idea.... the number two boss of the plant insisted they do my recommended experiment to test my hypothesis.... I turned out to be correct, and it saves about $4G per month, and didn't cost a penny to do the change, sped up production in the bottle neck of the entire process....

So do test my other stuff for yourself.....

Later.... got clouds coming in, and trying to get a fire going to do today's meal... rice... it seems to be taking off... I guess it is the dry season coming, so the fire wont be such a pain in the butt.... Went to check on the worker's job at the spring for the horses, he did a very nice job, pretty in fact... its down in a draw, a big one, almost a little valley.... I want to start working on that area soon, filling it with all kinds of bananas and food plants... there is also a quarry site in it I want to open up that has some blockish looking limestone...


The area all total, is maybe an acre or more but not all suitable for planting.... but it is a pretty spot, and we will go through it carefully and with an eye to leave anything decent and good.....

Bananas do OK in partial shade, and like moist conditions.... I see the area that holds water is three pools, very small ones, maybe 4 feet square each.... the horses cant get to the bottom one, which is most likely to hold water longest into the dry season... so I am thinking to carve half steps into the shale, so the horses can get to the bottom hole....

I'm having the worker chop the area under the existing trees, in preparatation for planting the platinos, (Another name for bananas).... maybe have to wait until the rainy end of the dry season so the horse doesn't need that water.... as horses love banana plants and bananas....

My goal is to put in enough banana clumps, to feed all my clan... That when the shit hits, and the dry season goes from bad to worse, maybe we can have bananas still when others lose theirs in less amiable places......

The Valley spirit..... Use it, it will never fail..... lines from the Tao.... and I think wise advise for whats coming; to plant food in the moist places... because the eventual main effect of global warming on food supply will be due to increased evaporation rates and desertification of now verdant areas....

My farm is a funny one, on the face of a bluff like mountain, and I live at the top of the scree slope and below the bluff face.... there are springs at the top of the scree slope, water coming out of the layered limestone... not much, 3 trickle springs in the big dry....

I live pretty good on one of them.... and in a couple of weeks, will be working more on the spring area, hoping to build a stone floor, some seating, and capture more of the available water than I am now.....

I am thinking to do the stone floor and stone work fairly neoindigenous, just laid dry, and arranged as best I may... hopefully to create a pretty spot for bathing and doing dishes and washing clothes.....

And that is the essence of what I am doing, improvements on nature that aren't with a bulldozer and a concrete truck, nor a logging truck for that matter...

Soft tech, making the planet nice, no City in progress... just enhancing natural features with native materials, an artistic eye, and plenty of grunting and sweating....

But doing work that can last generations also...

And thats my dream for the neoindigenous trip too, that other start living on the land perhaps without even permanent structures, and carve trails, plant trees, and landscape what is there into a prettier order based on nature, but accentuating the beauty, rather than bulldozing it and building a fake fountain, and naming it “Hidden Springs Estates”.... like they do in the technocult, when they trash nature and make a profit at it... Which to me is on par with naming things after Vanquished Indians...

The final insult.....

The neoindigenous concept is to go retrieve the baby from the yard, where we threw the bath water.... We are going to need those indigenous concepts..... 'best peel off a few unnecessary techno concepts if necessary, to make space for them......

I see the world as ripe for what I envision... all those huddled masses watching TV and thinking “This really sucks because its fake, and I have to be at work in the morning.”

TV dreamland can be beautiful, but take a look outside, look anything like the Nature and simple life on TV? Was the movie “Dances with Wolves” filmed in your yard?

I dont think so.... and what you do in your yard trashes what is left of that reality....

If you want to be a dumb fuck rainbow nigger, thats your business, but the dozer and the logging truck and the mining dredge are trashing the world for your sake, so the big merry-go-round of profit, can go round and round until we puke....

What you do affects the outcome.....

You aren't innocent of it.....

Do you slouch on your couch watching “Survivor” programs? I've never seen one.... What is it? Buff types in bathing suits running obstacle course games? Nobody eating bugs? Gee! Why not? Lets get real..... I suspect its more fake shit, with plenty of busy work..... More Pecs and Tits to look at, than anything else? Who knows......

I imagine a derivative of Bay Watch....

Yea! Right... thats survival....

How much is learned about real survival watching it?

How much is buxom blonds with sweaty bodies?

Survival in real terms is more low key.... Ask any African growing corn with a hoe..... yea, you sweat, but the obstacle course is endless weeds, and sharpening the hoe, and being up before dawn soas to be out and about in the cool of the morning.....

Subsistence is survival, and emergency survival is interim techniques to get you back to your culture and its form of subsistence.....

Take those Buff blond types, air drop them on a desert island with some tools and seeds, and come back in three or four generations and see what there is for a subsistence culture... Thats survival.....

And that is kind of what we are heading for..... but instead of buff blond types, its gonna be ex-couch potatoes with baggy skin and bony limbs looking under rocks for something to stuff into their mouths, because they sat at the TV one program too long, and the shit hit, and they didn't have a clue....

The African hoeing corn will be a lot better off... Thats if he can get stuff going in an area that stays damp longer, as the desertification increases..... He maybe even can make some corn beer to enjoy while you taste test interesting textures and flavors of bugs and worms....


Saturday, December 20th, 2008...

Up at about 2:am, cafe', stars, some moon... wasn't paying much attention.....

Started working on a hammer handle at dawn, finished it in three hours.... ran out of gas in the generator drilling the lanyard hole in the handle, think I can tilt the Genny, and drill the old handle stub out of the head, and then shape the top end and install.....

Turned out nice, Cortesa, and me thinking happy thoughts doing it, gotta get a tool belt, I see them in Canoas, My old one went to shit in the climate with roaches and rats helping, and I gave it to a Tico friend, still usable, but bedraggled, who does carpentry.... I was a professional carpenter for years with it..... thinking soon to have my favorite hammer back in business, and maybe do a bit of carpentry now and then, or look for a job for awhile if the english doesn't pan out, to finance the boat and woman projects.... was realizing this morning that I'm unlikely to be the classic husband type again... If pretty woman goes for me, she's going to have to do more than paint her nails afterwards, in the way of supporting her kid habit....

But nothing I like more than a project, and who knows? Maybe do a hotel or cabinas for some American smart enough to hire me, and not stupid enough to think Latins will build up to anything remotely resembling American norms, without a ramrod up their aft ends...

My worker left me a care package out by the top gate, dog-food, radio batteries for my political soap opera habit on short wave, and a couple cigarettes, to use in my peace pipe, and thank Great Spirit guy for the good day.... I dont smoke cigarettes, not in the normal sense, I buy maybe one in a year or two, and use it to put the transmission in neutral and say a few words of thanks to the river of the universe for carrying me awhile....


Anyway, spent the morning doing something I like doing, making handles.... something more to put into the pony's cart on my way to Yashua...

Read some Buddha last night, a funny parable about non-practicing-speak types, who are like a donkey following a herd of cows, and braying; “Look! I'm a cow too....”

in other words ridiculous.....

Christians must be different than Buddhists, because what I see with Christianity, is a few simple minded cows, following a herd of Donkeys, claiming; Look! We are all cows!

When the majority are a bunch of self centered greedy asses.....

Jesus talked about it.... called them Hypocrites, and suggested praying in your closet, and staying away from them....

I think it was really good advice, almost none follow it.... they follow the donkey herd, Who are on TV spouting shit, with their Rolex watches as Chet Atkins pointed out...

There are real “closet Christians”, I respect them....


No closets on TV, just asses....

Proclaiming the word! And living none of it.....

I admire the Buddhists, they try and succeed at humility, and dont kill animals etc. a lot of the Trendy vegetarianism in the US has it's roots in Buddhist culture...

I feel for the Buddhist monks and people of Burma, so non violent, so into humility, and have a Brutal regime literally trashing the place and everyone in it, and exporting the Old growth teak forests off the China, who is likely their main supporter, its greed based, and if Buddha was down on anything it was greed and dishonesty.... And undue harm for what is natural....

The False Kings of planet earth... and soon their resource wars to increase, and Pandora's box to open and kill all who believe the technocult is their salvation....

Balance is salvation... That and the Ranchers returning to pick up the residue of their big experiment with human genetics....

Got your bags packed yet?

The enemy is always the same; Humans possessed by Geed Demons, Vanity Demons, Control Demons.... Do you suppose an Apocalypse will exorcise them?

I suspect so.....

I dont have a closet.. but I get the idea.... and I try to help the great spirit with some damage control and repair projects....

And I try to teach others what I have learned about what is and is not the Big Lie....

And I am open to any ideas and concepts on that road....

The Narrow path is wide enough to share, if we make room for each other in the tight spots, and hold back the limbs for each other....

Watch out for that rock....

I would not throw out the Technology, but I would moderate it.. Balance, always balance...

I was aghast at the Taliban blasting the carved Buddhas.... Rude Inconsiderate Demons possessing them...

Thousands of years of Muslims passing the Stone Buddhas on the way to Silk roads, And these fanatics destroy what they cannot replace, disrespect for another family of Allah....

As if there is only one path back to the Creator......

Small mindedness

And such a big creation.....

I doubt they get many brownie points for it with God.....

We have each tribe been given some pieces of the ancient puzzle...

Most hold up their piece and claim it to be the entire puzzle....

Donkeys braying...

To Create is devine, to Destroy Demonic.....

Shiva has many hands.....

God has but the truth....

Anyway, I appreciate the day, I appreciate the ability to have the creative expression....

I hope the real Muslims, and everybody else, goes to help re-carve the Buddhas...

Stone Buddhas harm no one.....

The Taliban harmed many....

Cast out your personal Demons...

Humility.... Merge with the dust, as its put in the Tao....

Untie the knot....

Become one with the Universe....

You are not a God.... you are a silly Monkey....

So I will soon have my old friend Vaughn Hammer back in service....

I will look forward to building some nice projects with it...

Neoindigenous stuff..... Fun stuff.... pretty things, because I have the time to create pretty things, because I am not helping create something ugly with my time....

So I have plenty of time....

The Big Lie, sucks the life out of billions, one Rainbow Nigger slave day at a time....

Come out of her, or share in her Plagues.....

I think I would rather share in building the replacement.... Something true and just....

Anyway...... another pretty morning here.... breeze, birds singing, lizards skittering in the house... I think I have a half dozen types of lizards with me in a 10 x 10 foot shelter... some are so tame they climb over me, or come look me in the eye.... there is a Metallic blue Wasp that carries spiders and mud into my cot frame... many times she lands on me first, looks up at me, and then hops to the hole in the cot frame...

Its all in the attitude... letting other creatures live, leaving them space... not killing them because I think I'm something better than they are....

I do fine living on plant foods.... better, happier than when I lived on supermarket stuff....

Simplicity is exquisite....

But it takes some adapting to get there....

But I wont go back to the Technocult....

Contentment is wealth....

And its the dry season, my favorite time of year here.....

Bare foot in balmy breezes, buck naked all day if I feel like it.....

What is your insecurity costing you? You will never know until you break free of it....

So.... what project should I think about next?

Busy hands and a happy heart...

I've finally made it over the mental hump.... beyond the damage, and now understand those who did it didn't know any better....

Little spoiled children.... Brats! In adult bodies....

So caught up in their own head trips, how sad......

Freedom is with out fees.... there are costs yes, you pay them gladly after awhile...

The hammer handle turned out feeling better than the original Vaughn, which was a nice feeling handle... My handle is more minimalistic, less pronounced curves, less wood....

Its made to fit me, my hand, my eye, my heart....

Jesus was a carpenter... 'must have made some handles, felt them in his hands, did nice work with them.... rested in the evening, tired but happy.....

Had a glass of wine, and some flat bread.... slept good.....

Life is a sacred gift...

What does that say about an entire planet?

Is it really ours to destroy out of our vanity and Hubris?

I think not....

If you are not happy, I know the road, where it starts.....

First you head for where its quiet... and natural.... find a creek to camp by....

Give away your excesses... you dont need them... that was insecure thinking.....

Give away some of what you create too!

Christmas didn't used to be boughten anything.... there was nothing to buy, and no money to buy it with.....

And no need to buy it....

It takes so little to be free... and so much to stay enslaved.....

For me the road to freedom kinda started when I realized most of my costs and expenditures were to support going to a job.....

There was nothing left... that I really wanted.... What I wanted more than anything was a natural and free life....

and I let go of that, and chose this... and am a thousand times happier for doing it......

Most of what this blog is about is encouraging others to bite off their dream and eat it lustily.....

Wild Honey in the comb....

Mead bubbling in the jar....

Moonlight through the fruit trees....

You cannot grasp at that, and get this.... let go of that, and have a hand free.... let go with the other hand.... turn and walk....

Away, away... toward the hills and mountains....

Seek out the valley spirit, put your seeds in her....

I have another project I have been thinking about.... I have a hatchet head.... thinking to grind it into a new form.... all rounded corners, no sharp edges... well, just the one.... and it will get a sheath.... the idea is for inside a pack.... so it doesn't damage the other stuff.....

And so it feels good in the hands, and is pleasant to the eyes....

Sharp corners are many on city streets...

Natural paths have curves and rises....

Straight roads only lead to hell...

Come out of her children...

Much better a hut in the mountains, with herbs drying in the rafters, and beans drying in the sun on trays and planks.....

The Monkeys have come to visit, really, as I write, raiding the trees I left when we took out the brush to plant the fruit... anything that made food for the animals, that I could leave, got left....

The place is a zoo.... and I live at its center......

No entrance fee... no unhappy monkeys in cages... not even the MOST silly one... Me!

Later, bath at the spring, picked a couple lemons and a windfall lime... made something to drink....

Getting to where I like it without sugar better.....


Tilted the generator, drilled out the broken handle stub from the hammer's eye.... ready to rasp down the new handle to fit.... later, one step at a time...

Buddha was right, everything requires doing one step at a time...

Making handles, installing them, freeing yourself from the technocult.....

A friend bought me the generator, a costly gift... used, but almost brand new...

I am using it to free myself... from it.... making tools, man the tool maker...

We get carried away... into slavery, doing too much, for those who dont really appreciate us...

Better to take care of your self, your own needs, use the generator, or the worker, or the technocult to free yourself with... turning the monster on itself.... Neoindigenous Ju-Jitsu!

The important thing is knowing what you really want, then knowing what you really need follows...

Getting the kit together, getting the head straight.... knowing the goal... Those mountains in the distance... one step at a time..... with a backpack, with a cart, or take a boat via the river...

You dont need the technocult, use it while it lasts, to get what you need, to not need it....

Things are still cheap and available.... hand tools, bearing hubs, tires and wheels, metal for a frame.... a Pony at give away prices.... be good to him.... horses are good people...

A dog? You bet! Gotta have a dog! They like horses.... my German Shepherd loves the horse...

Goes and lays down by the horse in the pasture, and is content.....

Happy dog!

I sit in the grass... content... Horses like company.... even dogs and humans....

I used my spear to harvest the lemons.....

Yum!

Salud!

I hear the cars start up down in the valley at around 4:am... “Car-O'clock!”

While I am a fool on the hill....

Off they run, chasing their Vanities.... they know so much more and a better class of human than me..... they think I am crazy.... up where its peaceful...

All they can think, is: “Como en Estados!” (like in the U.S.) its a mental illness you get from watching too much TV...... turn that damn thing off... hear the leaves rustle, and the lizards skitter, and the dog scratch....

I wonder how much I have missed in this blog... What you will need to learn for yourself....

I think I got most of the basics mentioned.... There is a tool missing from the tool list, cant remember what it was......

You'll figure it out....

Its fun to learn things, like kids do... only not with some grumpy teacher with a control trip going.... Just on your own, out of curiosity....

I told a friend to sell his house during the bubble's peak... he didn't do it, now he's upside down...

I think they bailed out the banks so they can come back and nail all the Jingle Mail morons...

You are going to have to take up an assumed name and head for the hills, or be paying rent on one house, and what ever the judge tells you is the minimum on the other one you lost....

Start buying or sewing your camouflage clothing now.... Paint everything green or brown or gray...

Look for a Dun pony.... or a yellow one like the clay on a dirt road.....

Watch the crazy people.... practice in the mirror, getting that look in your eyes... Practice with your bow and arrows.... make a throwing stick for rabbits, teach the dog to go find it and bring it back...

Escaped slave!

Learn to hide from the airplanes.... and Helicopters.....

always camp hidden from the air....

have some optics.....

Keep your kit as packed up as possible even in camp...
So if you see someone coming, hitch up and leave...

The system always seeks the easy victims.... become a Coyote....

Fly fishing is really effective...

And you can make your own gear.....




Sunday 21 December 2008....

Shortest day of the year....
Woke at about 2:am again, drank cafe' by my fire until dawn, a bit after 5:am...

Feeling pretty good, dry season attitude... kinda like summer to you fools up north...

Puttered around a bit this morning, got my hammer head another eighth down on the handle, now its just right....

Thinking small thoughts this morning, and how the recipe to personal success invariably prefaces each word and work with the word “small”.....

the way to success, is small steps...

And to have a small dream...

Perhaps a small bit of personal freedom from the technocult, and being a Rainbow Nigger...

and instead of getting sucked into the Vanity trap, where one out of three housing dollars goes to principal, and the other two to fat slobs in business suits, for most of your life, maybe you think to start small, and buy a small piece of land out in the sticks, and visit it regularly on small working vacations, and you plant small seedlings for your small orchard, and then you clear the brush for a small garden, and then you get yourself a small tent to hang out in whenever you can be there, and you clean out a small spring, or drill a small well, maybe with a miniature drill rig, some will drill a two inch hole a hundred feet or so with small problems, and small payments on the little rig, with its small lawnmower sized motor...

And you get yourself a small pickup truck, and haul small loads of chicken manure and leaves from the chicken farmer and the city leaf dump area, and then you plant some small seeds in your garden, and apply a small irrigating system, and while thats growing you build a small cabin, and install a small wood stove, and then in a small wood shed you fill it with wood you made small with a small chainsaw.... and then you build a small porch on the cabin, and with a pick and shovel make small improvements in your entrance access....

Then you build a small barn, and get a small pony, and a small plow, and make a small cart.... and you add a small corn patch to the small garden.... and soon you are building a small kitchen off the small cabin, and a small pantry off the small kitchen when you can afford the small amount of materials...

Then you get a small Dexter cow, and some small chickens, and get some small turkeys to grow some..... then you get a small dog and raise it up to guard the small farm you have built with small steps, and pretty soon you notice a small woman, who is taking small looks at you, and you have some small talk, and maybe a small wedding thereafter, and plan for a small family, and if you did all your small jobs right, all the problems are small....



Then you do a small home business out of your small farm, growing organically, the small items all the people in the city buy with small money, and eventually you quit your town job, and live on the small money, and put away a small nest egg in small gold and silver coins, and dont fall for the small lies of banks and investors, and in a small amount of time your coins are worth a small fortune in comparison to their small returns in the stock market,
And everything you own is paid for because you did it the small way.....

A small vignette for you....


Now think about the way things are usually done these days, and you will notice you can have big dreams, but they come with big price tags, and mostly the technocult is a big bunch of shit you really dont need or want if you think about it....

get the big picture? Or must I go on?

Things like big egos, and big vanity, and big assholes you have to deal with to get it all...

Think small....

it pays....

And dont send the kids to big schools, get a small computer and a small internet package...
some 12 states already have high school on internet and more in progress... that way the kids can grow up seeing the result of small plans, and comparing them with the small planet, and soon humanity will have smaller problems to deal with, and the cities can bull doze the empty buildings and build small parks and small community gardens everywhere..... and we will have a smaller society where smaller amounts of people end up sick or with heart attacks, or with small cancer tumors....

Anyway..... small thoughts from the small hours of the morning.... what brought it on?
Well I started drinking my coffee from a smaller cup, to cut down on amount, and still retain my comfy rituals....

Do you 'spose its why Chinese tea cups are small?

One could drink the shit by the buckets, but you'd run out quicker....

Big and small are an obvious dichotomy pair..... in nature all the big jobs are done in small increments.... The grand canyon wasn't washed out one spring flood.....

And Mount Ranier didn't pop up like a mushroom one morning....

And if you think you gotta have it all now, The bankers will have your aft end as a pleasure device from now on....

See how they suck you into big ideas about big houses and big vehicles, and big retirement plans and jobs in the big city?

Thats where they can fuck you big......

With Big governments helping them in big ways... to make the little hole in your aft end really big....

Yea.... you think about it... and have big fun with small humor from now on.....

So.... I've been doing good lately.... working on small jobs and making my life better... Three handles in the last week or so..... I taught my worker to make handles..... and got to watch him busting mine for years... then the other day he mentions that his workers on contracts busted two of his handles.... I suggested that he have them make their own handles, and mentioned him breaking mine.... he went into denial, but I can remember 4 at least, including the hammer I just rehandled... I havent busted many handles, not since I started making them myself.... when you spend a half day or so gnawing on a hunk of hardwood, one tends to think about its inherent limits when in use......

I also notice theres a big difference between how people take care of their own shit, and how they take care of mine..... so egocentric.... humans just dont get it... unless its theirs.....

Which is why the technocult really doesn't work, we are designed to work best for ourselves, and not some conglomerate... its hard enough for a husband and wife to work together, and they always try to bunch us up like cattle and screw us out of our lives?

Anyway, camps turn into homesteads....

one small job at a time....

The truth of the matter folks, is I at least have figured out we are on the wrong road, and missed the right turn off back there about 1600 or so.... We should have been nicer to the Indians, and assumed they had something to teach us... but instead our ancestors were arrogant pricks, and now we are miles from where we need to be....

But its not too late to go back and pick up the trail....

Its not like we need to give up anything important... nothing says you cant have a few solar panels, nothing says you cant grind your corn with a motor....

But what you cant do, is continue to support the system, and feed fat bankers and fat politicians smoking fat cigars, with your thin income....

They are drones.... and now the hard season is coming.... time for them to face the door, and receive the boot in the ass they so richly deserve... They wont go willingly.... you will have to evict them from your life the hard way.... one penny at a time....

And if they have paper on you.... you are going to have to escape.... a piece of toilet paper never held a single slave who stashed stuff in a pack, and ran for the mountains one dark night...

Oaths to SWINDLERS.....

File an extra notch or two in the keys when you send them back to the banker....

You people have no imaginations.....

I'll help......

How did your blog get famous Gris?

Several million bankers ended up at the locksmith's at the same time.....

I walked over to look at the bean patch this morning.... looking really good... I think my worker is realizing it too.... Basically I had this problem where the Ticos were shorting me on my share of beans grown out of my sight... These people will short their own family members, so a gringo is like fat beef to them... beans like the higher altitudes here, do OK at my altitude, but not as good as higher and on better soils....

I had this spot with bunches of rocks, un-comfy walking for the last owner's cows, so less erosion there, and more topsoil. Maybe 6 inches, the rest of the farm was down to subsoil with rocks sticking out..... The little experiment with the hoe instead of the machete is paying big dividends.... The Ticos plant beans in chopped brush, and harvest them in the same brush having regrown....

I dont have a weed one in my bean patch... the hoe knocked the dog shit out of the tropical plants that do fine being hacked over and over with a machete 6 inches higher.... The worker started grumpy, and ended up confused, and then shocked, and now you'd think it was his idea.... I just changed future agriculture in this area with a single concept.... merging american gardening techniques with Tico gardening techniques.....

Plus we will be able to hoe it easier for the corn crop we will plant in April, which is when its spring time here...



I suspect within a year or two I will have plenty of food stashed.....

One can grow corn with mules, if you make them do it your way....

Doing it the Mule's way, just doesn't seem to work somehow....

Now my bean patch is within arrow shot of my living site.... I will see it harvested... there wont be any missing sacks....

And the system will work next year too, with or without a worker....

Going along with a status quo never pays....

you invariably get screwed...

Going to spend Christmas over on the reserve.... one of the son-in-laws is an Agronomy engineer... I've taught him some agriculture stuff... it will be fun to tell him about the technique with the hoe and short brush.... there are millions of folks in central america growing stuff with machetes.... and more will be re-starting due to food prices.... this Agronomy engineer teaches courses on agriculture to common folks.... it will be fun to talk to him in a couple days....

Last year I solved his most asked question....

This year I will teach him how to get people's food supply more sure....

Soon a sermon or two on the bus....

Its fun being me... more-so here with people who can use the information...

They dont deserve it.... but then I've gotten help I probably didn't deserve too.....

Looking forward to seeing how the beans do at harvest. The first we planted are blooming now... and looking really good.... My worker even commented that it looked like a good year and he hadn't done many for himself... I suspect that if I do better than other people with this technique, which it should, not having weeds is more water and nutrients for the bean plants, that next year I wont have as many problems plowing beans with my mule...

One thing I find amazing; is that I regularly discover and teach stuff to all of my friends... Consistently, and I mean every fucking time, I come up with something new, they invariably think I am full of shit... people do not learn, they only your steal ideas, after they see they have no other option.....



I suspect its similar to Wheaton's Syndrome;

“No Moron, you haven't heard of it, and you didn't think of it,

and thats why it's called a new idea.”

And thats how it will be with the Space Elevator ideas.... Wheaton and his Buddies at NASA will fight like hell, and then steal my ideas, when they see they have no other option...

Meaning they must be friends of mine, we all just dont know it yet?


We shall see how their sense of humor is.... if its developed and mature enough, to laugh at themselves? Mine is..... how 'bout yours?

Or if they are willing to let All Humanity goe down the Malthusian Tubes, instead of up Bosque's over a petty EGO trip.... Hey dudes, Frank Lloyd Wright wasn't an architect with a degree..... that means I dont have to be an “Official” scientist either.... The best brains dont like jumping through hoops... Thats for morons with low “Creativity Quotients”..... like they make into Engineering students, and teach them to “Paint by Numbers” build shit....

Engineers dont know how to build shit!

Its like Doctors; at least they are honest enough to call it a “Practice” when they are hacking on your Adenoids..... Maybe they shouldn't be; “Engineering Firms”.... maybe we should call them Engineering “Botch Attempts”?

It would likely be closer to the truth....

Why do you suppose they have a certification stamp and an insurance company? Somebody has to pay for their fuck-ups and dead bodies, might as well be the client, through elevated services prices....

Anyway.... I'm snickering thinking about all the poor scientists that will have to read this blog in its entirety, if any of my ideas get out into mainstream... There are some doozeys here.....

And enough garbage, to give them even more self esteem issues....

But I figure the chances of it getting discovered on internet of being minimal... and that I will run into endless Wheatons as I attempt to get the concepts out....

Which is why its a blog.... I figure the body politic is a decent secret weapon... if I cant go in the front door at NASA or DOD Procurement, maybe we can blow the back door off its hinges, through the cleaning lady and the gossip circle or something... who knows? Sometimes going Random gets better results than the frontal attack... If the guy's wife tells him about it, he may just listen better... because he knows what doesn't happen, when she sees he's not being a good listener....

I was just wondering, if they would pick up on the need for the brake on the counterweight? And why I suggest the torque converter braking system?

Do you 'spose when they are busy stealing my ideas, that they will be too proud to call me or send an email asking questions?

To do that successfully, they are going to have to make themselves my friends... a fate much worse than death, generally...

And I may hit them up for a hefty consultant's fee.... Just how much, they can negotiate with my wife.... I'll make sure she knows all about consultant's fees, what the going rates are, and how important the Asensors are to humanity, and to the big corporations, governments etc.

Maybe I should have capitalized the word hefty?

And I'll have to shop for a really greedy wife.... now there is a serious challenge; separating the wheat from the chaff looking for greed in females....

All degrees and magnitudes no doubt.... & certainly off my scale of comprehension...

Later, went out looking for breadnuts, its been a few days, found 6 maybe 7 fruit under the tree closest to the house... enough that I got my 2.5 gallon stockpot almost full.... pure nuts!

enough food for self and dog for a couple days almost....

And I have 15 trees producing now, most goes to the wild animals....

Then I split wood, rebuilt the fire, took bath 3 or 4 for today....

Its the tropics... if you like the tub, this is the place.....



Anyway, fire is going, so in 45 minutes food for the day and in quantity....

I also see I have 3 stalks of bananas coming on by the house, within 10 yards... about 40 lbs a stalk... where did I go wrong? And all my buddies back at Lame County were just sure they were smarter than me.... Likely upside-down on their houses to a man...

If I had just done it out of personal stupidity, it would be one thing.... but I tried to tell them, that their retirements wouldn't be worth shit, and that bad things were going to happen in the US, and that there was a food crisis coming, and water crisis, and I was going where I could be sure to grow my own, and have adequate rain fall etc., This was pre-9/11, so they were sure I was a nut case....

In fact, the County's lawyer called me a Paranoid at a little dispute we had....

Spose he's upside down on his house?

Hmmm? Just got some animal showed up, that I'm not sure what it is, Has a black body and white shoulders head and neck and its big, in the 40 lb class.... It called for my attention, no shit, and I talked to it... its either a cara blanca monkey, or a sloth, or a Kinkaju... I've not seen a kinkaju that was two colors and it didn't sound right... they have a raspy call... this was more of a bird call sound... Well, I talked to it, so it knows I'm aware and not gruff... mostly I've found if I ignore the animals and go about my business pretty soon they have no fear of me... If its a sloth, I'd not known they come bi-toned.... have to ask the worker...

Anyway it announced its arrival, so it means well....

Its the sneaky bastards that trash you most... the monkeys are fairly loud & rude, thieves to say the least, surely the ancestors of some of the Latins in the area...

Whats a couple of million years of evolution? Just used it to learn to lie and wear business suits...

Hmm? My fire is doing good.....

lemme go poke it....

Hey, I'll give you undeserving humans another Idea...

How about making pots with vacuum insulated sides and lids? How much carbon would that save? You heard it here first! Surely if they aren't being made, and we start getting serious about global warming, it would be a fine thing to sell very cheaply, or hand out free?

Can I get a cash prize for that one? I want to get an electric guitar.....

I saw a nice Yamaha.....

Just had a funny thought, me with an electric guitar writing songs about the technocult.....

Send your donations to:

yea! Right... if you are human all you can think about is yourself, unless some sleaze bag tweaks you emotionally and gets you to donate.....

Do you spose they will lynch preachers when the sky-gods show back up and start Herding humans into the freezers?

Its being saved, they were honest when they had the book written! Saved for later.... Like left overs! Bad Joke? Wait and see.... everything I write is either supposition or opinion, I really dont know anything real....

Too many years in school and watching TV?

I'm definitely Nature's answer to human normalcy.....

Well, got this big black cloud, and I want lights tonight, and I have probably bothered you enough....


Monday, December 22nd, 2008...

Woke at 3:am, spent the dark hours thinking about the space elevator and how to do the counterweight and lower the tube, hashing the physics around in my noggin, it will take some time, but while I'm thinking, maybe NASA better be looking for some engineers who put themselves through College by Juggling in the Circus... because its going to take a pretty good
Rube Goldberg device to make it happen, and still end well....

Its going to be much like snubbing a whale with a boat... things will get busy...

Anyway, I'm having fun with the mechanics.... I see the need for some adjustable sheave pulleys and belt between the torque converter braking unit, (Due to gravity affecting the hose more as its lowered, what,? Halve the distance and 4X the force? Like a pair of magnets?) and the wildcat, basically its going to be a case of slipping a lot of rope, and ending up with the bull tied to the stump... without breaking its neck, the rope, or pulling the stump...


I'm thinking that maybe a good way to do it, is also use multiple pulley sheaves like on a cable crane, but only reversed, so it uses up a lot of cable as the desired effect, which might take some kind of structure, perhaps a long tower like erection, (Allowing the Engineers some hormonal excitement.) with the counterweight traveling the outside, and most of the cables and pulleys around the inside, with the last lap in the center for centering the entire mass as the hose starts having some gravity effect....


Anyway, I'll hash on it, and eventually the usual epiphany will come, and I'll go from there with the simplification evolution, and getter down to something possible, and obvious... that way the bean counters who run things might have a small chance of grokking it...

The price we pay, for having a society who thinks sucking up, is a form of merit.....

I agree with Patton, its the guy who disagrees, who is most likely the valuable opinion...

The rest are cannon fodder.....


All Suck-ups to the Russian front......

If you dont have the guts to disagree, you likely also lack the intelligence to be considered much more than a food digester...



Anyway..... another beautiful morning here.....

Not too much on my agenda, get ready to head down the mountain this evening, and start my way to the Indigenous reserve, and a fine couple of days in Paradise, with people who exhibit decency tendencies.....

I get to break in my new hat, its a camouflaged Viet Nam style “Go to Hell” hat, but I'm going to heaven for a day or two, the war is over, and the good guys lost on both sides, and the bad guys got money and power...

'Best not to play in those games...

Makes one wonder just what the bone is, in Afghanistan that all the big dogs are fighting over... I dont believe for a minute they are spending all that money to free the locals from the worst versions of themselves.... Surely there are some “Gotta Havvits” involved, that most of us would be fine leaving where and how they are....

Spoiled Children is what the Rich and Powerful are... “Well I say you gotta do this!, and THATS mine, even if its on your dirt pile!”

Grow up assholes, leave people alone, and go find something better to do, than trashing things to pad your own rat-hole...

When is enough enough?

Never to those types, until Atlantis sinks out from under them for their evils.....

Its a doom-bound mentality.....

The more you have, the more likely you are to lose it.....

Less baggage, less problems......

Playing Monopoly with Militarys, and they think they own the whole fuckin' world....

Possessed by Greed Demons, and Control Demons.... get away from them, it will go critical....

You know the Greed Demons are in charge, when the safest place, is far offshore in a boat...

The modern technocult is a litany of what not to do, according to the wise men of historic note...

Its like my asshole neighbors, who run the wildlife down with dogs and kill it, when they could raise chicken instead, or learn to be happy with vegetarian foods filling their bellies..

But no, none of that is good enough for them, they have to do ritual killing of something free and wild, and eat it, to be somebody in their own minds....

Well, all I have to say, is when Humans screw up the balance enough, the rock will fall on them...

Hopefully, I will be in balance enough, to witness out the far side of their self-bought doom...

I had a little Wren like bird this morning, not 6 feet from me, gathering stuff to build a nest...
Did I want to kill it and eat it? Hardly..... I enjoyed seeing it and being with it.... and felt gratitude that it took me for harmless....

My head must be in the right space, if Nature accepts me.....

I heard a bit of a program last night on short wave, I think it was HCJB out of Ecuador, and they were talking environmental/indigenous stuff, very good info, and stated that Cities use up only 2% of the Planet's surface, but use up 75% of the resources....

My question is, what is the comparative resource use, between the Urbanite, and the Indigenous person living on the land farming and fishing?

I would bet its in the order of 99:1..... maybe worse....

The Indigenous small gardener would never run out of resources in a million years, and the “unconscious urbanite” will have it all trashed in less than another generation.... When I go online I will have to look for that program on HCJB.... it was obviously not Mainstream....

Do I believe Humanity will get their shit together in time? Hardly....

All the time has been used up trashing the planet....

I would describe the most probable future, as being a “Catastrophe Chain”....

And Humans will spend a lot of time putting out spot fires.... while entire forests burn wholesale.....

We aren't smart enough to realize how stupid we are....

I see it in my self, always wanting something.... Why cant I want for nothing? Realizing the problem is still far short of fixing myself....

What I do, is fight what I want like a trout... Rather than drag it up to the sandbar, I play it as long as possible....

Some times I want the same thing for years... it keeps me from wanting other things....

Playing the Monster in my own mind, like a lunker on fine leader....

Later, washed my doggiest old backpack, like a used condom to carry my stuff in, The Ticos wont want to touch it or steal it.... they're a “Lujoso” group to use their own word, very sensitive to looking good etc., and love to steal anything new and that isn't available to them yet for one reason or another... So I cover my spendy laptop with an ugly bag, and they all look down their noses at me....

Knowing the psych, is half the battle to living among them... the other half is dealing with constant lies and manipulation attempts....

I find living up in the brush is the way to go... they wouldn't do that... God would have to force them out of Urban Eden with a fiery sword...

They all like it in Rat Heaven.....

I like it in the Wild, somewhat as it was, before the Latins Improved it....

It will be able to begin to repair it self soon... when the various assholes of the planet are a fading ugly legend... And SO politically correct while they are doing it....


Me? I just see problems and try to fix them... and the best way to fix the planet is to get the majority of the humans off of it.. I would rather see them go Up and Out, than a wholesale mass die-off, but I can only decide things for me.... I have no imagined power to wield... just one moron who spends time thinking to stave off boredom...

I was thinking early this morning, how simple and easy it is to escape the technocult... and so many millions with a desire for a real life...

Well.... I've laid it out over and over in this blog... nothing stopping anyone from piecing together from the bottom up, an escape reality....

Its like the guy with the Draft Horse and flatbed cart, he got tired of the shit somewhere,
And got his kit in order..... and started off....

I figure his chances of success were 100% what ever his plan was.... surely he knew a winter pasture to head for.... and other than some really basic camping and horse skills, thats all he had to know to make it.....

He was healthy looking, didn't look at all sleazy, so odd jobs could have supported a simple diet... and with Oats for the horse at $10 or so a hundred pounds at the time, I'm sure he had oatmeal....

How far could you go living on oats, if your limits were how much weight in oats a very fine draft horse could pull? I think he could have had a year's food easy, and his other stuff... the horse was a stout looking one, I'd guess a Percheron? (Spelling?).... and his cart was basic, just a simple and small flat-bed on modern tires, bearings, and wheels..... He wasn't trying to Pull an Airstream...

My point is he did it, and so can you... and he was heading for his new dream, where ever and what ever it was, while most of my readership is likely under the economic whip, and wishing they were outside the walls of the Prison of their own construction, one comfy decision at a time....

Start collecting the basics of your new life, one item at a time... the list should be a short one, And figure your destinations and method of transport of your baggage... The key to success is in minimizing your kit, and having a transport system that doesn't depend on holding down a job....

A car or a pickup truck may make you “feel” free, but only on weekends... the rest of the time they double as a Slave transport device.....

Lewis and Clark didn't have one of the pieces of shit, and they crossed a Continent and back by going from one fishing hole to the next....

The only thing holding you back, is that you are a gutless wimp, without a decent plan, because you cant decide what to do in the first place... once you decide what to do, the plan comes one step at a time.... and before you know it, you give your 2 week notice.... boy was that a memorable day for me... the only better day, was the last one... and you know what? All the stress and worry are still where I left them that day.... I just came to a decision, formulated a plan, carried it out piece by piece, and here I set, in a paradise, writing this drivel, while you pretend to be working, and are reading it instead...

Its like my buddy with the cement yacht... Once he made the decision to buy the thing, and was crazy enough to do it, he was hooked.... no way out.... escape inevitable.... and now he spends all his free time making it happen, and has changed his life more than any religion could have...

My guess is, he's short months to freedom... How far along are you?

He kind of did the Crazy in a big way..... surely there are other less massive ways to do it?

But you know what, it will work for him, the guy loves to travel and move constantly... and when he's becalmed, he has his Fishing side to take over.... And he's leaving behind a thousand Rats a Racing.... including you, if you dont figure a way out....

Retirement? Forget it... ain't gonna happen... Health insurance? No such thing... the best health insurance is a real life.... Health insurance in the technocult is really employment insurance for a lot of drones and doctors who will pretend valiantly to be trying to save you, from what you did to yourself, trying to pay for their insurance....

Die when your time comes....

but at least:

Die free!

The scientist say that you live longer if you have a pet animal...
And if you get plenty of exercise...
and if you have a dream and do it...

Do you 'spose the guy with the horse will die young? Not if he keeps walking every morning...

I'd rather do that than sit on my rump in an office and wish I had a life....

Coffee and oatmeal? You bet!

Later... slowly getting ready to go... thinking last night before sundown about the spare hatchet head, that I want to grind rounded for a bug-out pack, was drawing some handles, thinking to do about 12-14 inches of handle... my other Tomahawk style is 16 inches of handle and so about 18 inches overall...

I have a nice hunk of wood, and thinking I can maybe get the riser for my steel limbed bow project and the hatchet handle from the same hunk....


Its projects to keep me happy doing projects, and to give me back-up gear for my survival lifestyle....

When you dont hold down a job, or watch TV, or have a woman to run you around, keeping busy is fun.... Subsistence is mostly keeping busy doing things you need to subsist... I have it easy with the worker, but when he goes away, I will just write less and putter around doing stuff more... plus I have been using him for the long legged projects, stuff to make me more independent of the system....

If I had it to do over, I wouldn't bother with the worker, I would have done less and concentrated what I did into a smaller area...

Today, I treated the handle of my Refugee hoe with a wax and grease mix, and let it soak in the tropical sun... Very nice hoe for $3......

The hunk of wood, was also a good one, straight grained, and good qualities....
All the hoe I'd need to grow a nice garden.... I'm incurable, so of course I started thinking about doing a cut-down rake... not because I think I would need it, but just to have to match the other items.....

Kinda like the little garden set for kids... I have a turning fork on my want list, not available until recently in my area... I saw them all over in Panama... I may have to get more than one, first a user, and another to do a special handle in, for on the burro load....

All I know about the future, is that I will need all I have learned in the past and then some to survive it... first I start with the basics, and try to maximize my mobility... And trying for quality gear... I know enough about building and making things, enough about gardening... and now we are on the task of doing the big garden area up at my retreat....

There is no great mystery to subsistence and survival, millions did it for thousands of years with much less than I have to do it with....

I would guess that the single biggest factor in who survives and who doesn't is location when the shit hits.....

“Dead on, Ground Zero” isn't the place to be, and I suspect your odds depend on how far away from the technocult you are and how well you have your subsistence trip walking before it happens.....

Anybody who is Making it OK in the system, and has a bug out pack behind the door, and thinks they'll split at the last second, or make it through the initial collapse and then go for a Sunday hike, Wont have near the chances of somebody out and doing it already...

I think the biggest danger is the Nuclear Power plants.... come war or Mega Quake, or even the Ross Ice shelf sliding off, they tend to be close to the coast and on low rivers for cooling water, and near Urban areas....

And there are so many of them.....

400?

The hot spots are then almost any and all areas of human population concentration, and down wind from there, and out to sea.....

And if the nuke plants crack, you had better never eat another fish or clam, unless you have a Geiger counter to run over it....

And with a half life on Plutonium of a billion years or so? Not sure, but never is a long long time....

Hubris and Arrogance of Silly Monkeys....

And after it happens, I wouldn't blame the Ranchers for frying those responsible, for building and running, such insane ways to produce power...

I have a hard time believing that there is even one person that stupid, and there are millions who think nothing of it.....

Placing 400 Plants that produced Cyanide, with an extremely explosive process, in our population areas, would be far less dangerous....


And make about as much sense....

When the Ego Heads finally do fall the rock on themselves, try not to be under it with them....

Try to be out someplace clean and fresh and with growing things and all kinds of wildlife...

Even if you are just camping....



December 24th, 2008.... visiting on the reserve, talking with kids this morning and showing them fotos....

Slept well, visited with friends, everybody watched movies last night on my laptop, the whole family laughing at a silly oriental martial arts movie, dubbed into Spanish....

Today am sked to go with an indigenous friend to his place, a guy I've known for years, brother to an old girlfriend.... he has a hunk of Cortesa for me, and I am trying to encourage the indigenous folks to plant more of the better local timbers, instead of planting Gmelina or teak, which are lesser by far... I've been explaining about the teak market, and Gmelina markets, and that the better native genetics are maybe 10x more valuable on the world market... to me now, teak is a fairly mediocre wood.... I grew up on a tree farm in Oregon, and so understand a bit the business.... and now have some years of experience here in central america, and know some of the woods that exist here, and have tried for years to wake people up to the facts, that planting Gmelina for pulp wood is not the best Idea, either for the environment, or for economics.... The Teak market is running on ignorance... I like teak, but its fairly soft and not as weather resistent as some of the other local woods, and its been a tough battle trying to educate people who burn rosewood and purple heart for stove wood...

They burn wood, that the stick they shove into their kitchen stove, maybe be worth $20 on the world market....

I showed them fotos of my packsaddles etc. to give them the idea of potential wood products, and explained how to manage a timber stand, using thinnings to run a business with....

Anyway, Its not an easy struggle, especially in the Latin culture where lying is a way of life on the macro level.... people tend to not believe anything, because the ambinent is so laced with untruth..... So its incredibly hard for an individual to educate others.... you have to be from the government or have a degree in the subject before they will suspend disbelief, and in this culture that makes them even easier victims for crooked types in suits and ties, selling chemicals, or ripping people off.....

I was talking this morning with a family member who is an agronomy engineer, and He blamed the Government for the National problems... I agreed, but I dont think its just the government, I know the problem to be much deeper, and beyond National borders....

Its a cultural problem.... and has its roots in the Feudal system and poverty, and illiteracy of past generations... I think things will improve, albeit very slowly, and with potentials to go into reverse due to the economic situation now happening planet wide....

If the wealthy of the planet think Neo-feudalism is a fine idea, I have news for them, it has a natural reaction in the cultures that isn't pretty.... it creates a dishonesty culture as a response to the overburden of the elite class, and an example might be the attitude of the nobility in Europe towards commoners as being Knaves, i.e. Lying culls.... I suspect the dishonesty was rooted in people having to deal with the hypocrisy of the feudal system, and if the Elite are busy lying to the masses, the masses take up the habbit and fight fire with fire, and also get into lame excuses to be ineffective as workers, etc.

What I am looking at here, is the residue a couple hundred years old, of the Feudal and Church cultures.... I see the indigenous peoples as actually being a bit less contaminated than the European rooted stock, mostly due to the separation of being put on reserves or reservations.... the insult turned into a favor.....

They, the indigenous peoples also seem to be a bit more ready to regress to an agrarian system as a response of the demise of money.... while the Latinos still want to chase dollars like dogs chase cars..... to their eventual demise......

The family I am staying with are mixed, the mother a very nice indigenous Lady, and the father is a blond blue eyed Tico, I'd guess of German extraction... He has a lot of heart, loves kids, and is a hard “Bust-butt” working type, and the mom is just as hard working.....

They have a dozen grandkids, all of various local mixes, and its a nice family to be with.....

It is in fact a kind of Neoindigenous family, with the mix of Tico and Boruca cultures....
I asked last night, about 50 families in this valley, and all are now pretty much inter-related through marriages, and they have all kinds, from decent types, to problem types in the valley...

The usual human spectrum.....

I see the area as a microcosm of the future here.... that a hundred years in the future the local culture will be a mix of several cultures... and likely heavily weighted towards the indigenous due to the probability of the main population areas going down in mega-quakes, and the lighter built rural houses being less mortal....

I hope that somehow in the process, they discover personal integrity as a modus operandi...
The lies and deception are such a Self-trashing device...

Not a new problem anywhere or in any location in human history, Buddha, Jesus, etc., all stress the problems of Greed and Lies, and that the cure isn't pointing fingers at others, but in fixing the person in the mirror, as all of us have the defects to some extent, variation between the best and worst, isn't enough to pump yourself up about with a superiority attitude.... its like the Nobility calling the commoners Knaves.... the pot calling the kettle black....

And today we still have an elite, a bit more stealthy in their hypocrisy, since the French and American revolutions, and we still have the problems of class dishonesty between the Management and the Workers..... One side pretends to pay and the other pretends to work....

Its an imbalance based entirely on human ego, and inherent dishonesty, due to lack of ability to see truth, and find balance, because we want for ourselves with no absolute limits other than our own extinction....

The Human is a jerk by natural aptitude.... and wisdom consists of realizing that, while observing others, while enlightenment is seeing it in yourself....

Which only leaves what? Inner struggle.... while maintaining a humble attitude to avoid the “More Noble than you” counter-attitude, which is the opposing side of the dichotomy pair......

If you “fix” yourself, and gain arrogance for the improvements, you have won the battle and lost the war.....

I see the real potentials in being getting space for one's self.... Trying to help is most likely an exercise in futility.... you can only change the light bulb if it wants to change, as the joke points out, and I have yet to see a light bulb that wasn't happy in its socket, whether it was “enlightened” or not...

Personally I find it a drag.... to try to help people who turn on you.... and surely the Nobility got and get to eat plenty of this dirt.... and helps form their attitudes...

Well, the Buddha or Jesus attitude thing to do, is keep struggling inwardly and outwardly....

Becoming bitter fixes nothing, and its like battery acid for one's self....

All I have to say is the outward battle tires the inward spirit....

And for me, I find that time alone, is the best of times....

I love to socialize, but I dislike the resulting baggage... And I understand fairly well the Passages in the bible about human defectiveness, and the eventual results.... We are headed for collective doom, if we dont get our individual trips in better order.... I would and have recommended turning inward, and working on one's self.... not in some “New Age” yuppie self improvement fad, but as a personal survival strategy....

I cant turn the tide, not at the village level, or with my Asensor concepts, at the Planet level... but I can at least plant seeds, and if the fire burns over the planet perhaps some will sprout afterwards, and if there is time, perhaps some sprout before and provide some “Green growth” to prevent or minimize the effects.....

I dont think there is time..... The dishonesty is too insidious... and I am not talking about just here or in Latin culture.... I see the Latin culture and local problems as only the Red flag that alerted me to the bigger human problem..... I used to believe in humans as basically honest and decent.... Now I have realized that that was most likely a personal delusion, and the Truth is an ugly fact, right down to my own personal belief in my own superiority in these areas....

No one is good......

And Jesus pointed this out very directly, and denied being “good” himself... and Buddha teaches that the inner battle against one's demons, is in fact endless....

So I suffer personally, even seeing examples in these very days of lies told me, and things taken from me, by people I have tried to help... but I can by looking into my own memory, find similar sins in my own life....

I think one of the benefits of separation from other humans, is at least you are then incapable of doing them damage, and vice versa.... no doubt why the classic vignette of a sage, is some half crazy wise man living on a mountain or in a cave alone..... They were wise enough to realize they could fix neither themselves nor humanity, and opted for the sanity of distance...

And I think that if I could recommend one Universal Paladin, it would be that you take up becoming a connoisseur of solitude and far places.... no doubt the why of so many liking backpacking or fishing, finding sanity in getting away from humanity.... and insanity in returning to it.....

And one of my main points in this blog, is it is possible to separate one's self from the pack to a large extent, and it becomes a very viable survival strategy, as well as a super highway to personal sanity...

I used to be alone, and get the urge to go visiting... but after enough time alone, and getting burned often enough by my fellow humans, I usually just stay home, and avoid the problems.... I like people, but I hate what they do to each other... its not a pretty picture...

And it has no viable future... it cannot continue... we are reaching Terminal Stupidity, and our ceaseless hunger for vanity is about to trash us beyond our own ability to imagine..

The bible talks about Faith..... I see the passages about those surviving on faith until Jesus and company show up to turn the battle, means that things are going to get so bad, that only those who believe in this, are able to hang on.... most will give up and die....

These people I am staying with now, have never done me any harm.... I really appreciate that...

One tires of being trashed...

And one appreciates the socializing without the damage...

One interesting thing that happened in these days, is I got to visit with a man I haven't seen in several years, the father of a friend.... and he had been asking about me, and how I was and wanted to see me... and as luck would have it showed up at where I was.....

I turned him on the the Genesis 6 thing.... I didn't say much, just said it was the key to understanding the bible, and the woman who's house we met at, had a non Catholic bible, and brought it to him.... he read the passages and instantly locked onto the key concept, that it was talking about people from “outside” as he put it, i.e. Off Planet..... He also connected it for himself with Greek legends of Hercules etc. Once one groks that passage, things become clear in a hurry... I just stated that there was only one legend, told from many cultural perspectives... and the bible had the Nephilim word, which many bibles lack....

I also mentioned the Catholic church spending millions to upgrade its astronomical observatory to be finished by 2011 I think.... just in time for the 2012 date that so many realize now....

I think I know what the “Cristian Secret” mentioned in the bible is......

And others know it also....

The Heretics...

Which the bible also talks about, a group of people considered Heretics, who realize the truth while the mainstream is caught in a strong delusion, i.e. The Big Lie....

So, my advice is invariable.... get your escape trip in order.... and if you want to survive I suggest that you also consider having some kind of a shovel.... because when the shit hits Nuclear war is a very likely component, and and if you dont happen to have a personal bunker, a foxhole covered with poles and dirt, done in the expedience of the moment might save your defective human butt... I have the E-tool I made in the Russian Army style, from a cut down tiling spade, I shortened both the blade and the socket, and installed a Cortesa handle which is virtually unbreakable by muscle power..... I also want to come up with a better downsized pickhoe.... I once had a US military surplus downsized pickhoe, which I lost in an at sea accident, and since haven't replaced it, due mostly to my own desire for equal quality.....

I am considering cutting down a full sized pickhoe.... first by cutting a half inch out of each side of the eye, then shortening the pick and hoe blade, and then thinning the pick somewhat...

a lot of work to arrive at a Refugee Pack sized tool.... but not a stupid idea considering where our collective Vanity is taking us......

Yup! Crazy like a fox.... and I often imagine a personal vignette of myself and dog, in such a foxhole, hunkering down, scared shitless, and realizing my and dog's only real hope is the Ranchers showing up..... and considering what that will be like, bringing more destructions and executions, Not a pretty picture as a great white hope.....

It would be so much better if people realized what I am writing about for themselves, and looked in the mirror, admitted the truth, and freed themselves from the chains of vanity, and turned the tide with a mass spontaneous change of conciousness.... People, its so easy... and so much better, and good for the children, to let go of the big lie, and go in search of personal truth.... have less, and live longer and happier......

And with my house being unguarded these days away, I took my Refugee pack out and hid it in the brush.... that way if I come home to a trashed life due to thieves, I will at least have that....

Hopefully I will arrive home in a couple days to a happy dog, and all intact.... and I have been thinking lately, wanting to get a second camo backpack, larger, for second tier Refugee items.... Preparedness is a Personal Philosophy.....

To me its so hard to have to realize I need to forgive others for doing me damage..... that personal ego monster doesn't like being beat up, by other ego monsters....

Nash's equilibrium is a really nice way, to think about what is currently turning very very ugly.....

Fighting others and trashing others in an attempt for something for one's self, really is not a good way to progress....

If you want something for yourself and you cant get it without trashing others, best to give it up and let it go.... the personal emotional baggage, and the collective results are too envenomed to make the desirable thing worth the having once you get it... Also as I have noted and pointed out to others, when I want something really bad, it haunts me until I get it, but once I get it, in a few days at most, it fades into another clutter factor asset....

I have learned to play with my own want monster.... I see things I want, and try to want them but still let go of them.... if I get it, fine, if not, fine, and I have fun with the having the emotional want.... let the feelings wash over me, of desire, and like a wave receding, from the beach, pretty soon its forgotten....

The other side of the coin, Things I see as survival/refugee gear, I give a higher priority.... all part of my neoindigenous realizations, how to use my own endless desires as fuel to boot up what I need to personally survive whats coming...

And it all started with the desire to be free of the problems and bullshit, and abject slavery of being a member of the technocult, and being a “Beat Dead Dad” (correct word order)....

Feminism has envenomed our culture, perhaps fatally..... as have so many other human mental problems....

And we have so much potential good in us.... individually and collectively...

I love being wrong about ugly predictions..... make me wrong people, make me wrong by figuring it out too.... and doing something internally to fix yourself... and doing something externally to fix the collective.... Barak Obama is correct about Volunteerism being one of the components.... but there are many many more missing pieces from our becoming a mature race of sentient beings.......

Its isn't just about me, or just about you.... its about all of us... and a lot of things that are outside of us..... its a big universe, and we aren't fleas on a dog's back in the big picture...

Get honest folks, inside and outside....

To cure the outer world, we must bring the inner world back to sanity....

Anyway, those are my thoughts, this pretty morning, far from the highway, with people who are very human humans.... kids running around healthy and happy, and the Christmas pig just squealed his last..... at least these people dont think pork comes from plastic packages in the supermarket....

The Pig had a fine life for awhile, Indignantly squealing if food wasn't timely...

Lets not end up like the pig....

Later...... Had a good day, talked with my friend the agronomy engineer, he is doing a project with his in-laws, knows the cultural problems, and from his own mouth said its not just the Ticos, its the Latin culture..... which is why with his in-laws, good folks...


THIS DAY I WAS HONORED....
I got to go visit with my indigenous friend, and on the way out he had to stop at the great grandparents house, 100% indigenous folks, and I had a chat with the great grandfather a year ago, and told him about the Pinto and Appaloosa horses, being the genetic work of the indigenous peoples in the US, and he hadn't known that, and I saw him get a proud look in his eyes, when he realized what I was saying...... he's had a heart attack since, I wanted to see him, was worried about him but didn't want to ask, and asked a son in law of the family, said he was doing OK, and my indigenous friend had to stop at the great-grandfather's house, and when we got there, I found out why, the great-grandfather had heard I was there, and wanted to see me personally.... I was honored.... and got to tell him about the peace pipe, and that I had smoked tobacco and prayed in the indigenous style, and had asked the great spirit, for more years for him.... he thanked me.... and it was no bullshit, I did that... was worried, a very decent human.... I got to tell him to use his time telling stories to the kids, that it was important, & later learned that he loved the kids, but recently emotional problems for the heart attack, and hasn't gotten close to the kids like he used to.... so for once in my life, said the right thing at the right time..... I got him smiling and laughing, got to see his eyes sparkle... He's 80 years old, loved by his family, very respected by everyone in the area, it was like visiting a Chief Personage.... I felt very honored he wanted to see me personally... and I got a nice hug from his wife...

I also got to visit with other people, and my indigenous friend gave me an excellent hunk of Cortesa Amarillo, nicer than a hunk I am saving for a rifle stock... better than my best...

We came home on the bus, and the driver asked me what kind of wood, and I told him and he threw out another name/wood type, and I responded: better! I walk here pretty good, my Spanish is very fluent, enough to shock people who dont know me..... And I am very happy for my connections of friendship in two tribes.... and am glad that I have spent my time teaching, its hard sometimes, emotionally, but today was a good day.... a very good day in my life.... I dont care about wealth, or fame, or anything else as much as I care about good people.... gold? Diamonds? Nothing in comparison...... and to receive respect from an indigenous elder, I appreciate from my heart.... I cant remember a better compliment in my entire life.....

And yea... sometimes its hard to follow your dreams, but then too, there are special times and memorable events.... today I will not forget..... and I know the bus driver realized that I was something distinct here, I walk among all of them, and do things that connect the dots between three cultures.... The Neoindigenous movement started here, in it's own way, long before I arrived, and my concepts and arts will only fine tune it.... I got to show the fotos of my arts to the indigenous folks, and they did like them a lot.... definitely struck a chord with them.... things, pretty things, useful things, done in indigenous styles by an apparent white man from the US is definitely taken well here... I also got to talk about the red corn, and teach it's potentials... What I know, is I work for the great spirit.... join us at the heart.....

I also learned that my worker got an offer, to join up with the entire family in a business venture..... I have prepped him for years to be able to live up to his maximum potentials...

And yes we have problems, and no he's not perfect, but then am I? Hardly... but I see it as a work in progress, and knew that he got the offer in part because of things I have taught him, and things He has done on his own... He's enough like an adopted son, that when he isn't at his best, I suffer..... but he is very very good in comparison to the background ambient...

I will also likely do things with these people, different things than my worker, but I am connected.... and evidently liked and respected..... Enough that the great grandfather had me brought to see him.... I did a lot of teaching this last couple of days, made some indigenous people realize they had a lot of good in their culture..... here the indigenous peoples were seriously oppressed until the mid 90's, just before I arrived, and the Government was going to use them for Scientific/Medical experiments, and they refused, and the local Latin people turned out in mass to back them up.... and the Government backed off....

I have worked to get them to open connections with all the indigenous folks of the Americas, and basically planted the first seed for their internet reunion..... (with the Guaymi tribe).... and the Borucas followed suite.... and Like I saw with the street musician from Ecuador, they are all connecting.... indigenous is becoming a Greater Indigenous thing.... and I have often pointed out that Quechua is the “English” of the indigenous peoples of the Americas......

These people are no threat to anyone, they are not inherently violent, and I think some of the machinations of the CIA and the Greedheads have been very much out of order.....

And I suggest that Barak Obama Pardon Leonard Peltier..... it would send the proper message for the times, and I think the American Government had very dirty hands in that whole passing..... If you agree, move the concept in the right direction any way you can imagine... if enough do it, it will get through, and could happen, and would make a very good way to begin the neoindigenous movement.....

I wouldn't want to see the neoindigenous concept become some trendy fad of the yuppies...

I would want to see it become a heart felt concept of all people on the planet.... we are all Red on the inside....

Anyway, good day, its fun being me sometimes... other times its hard..... too much heart for the times, as always ahead of the curve and suffering and also gaining for it...

Haven't thought about what to make out of the Cortesa hunk, its about 5 feet long by 5 inches by maybe 2.5..... has a few defects I can work around, would make a full stock Hawken Rifle..... my indigenous friends are interested in doing stuff like the packsaddles, and have “down” logs of various incredible hardwoods..... so there is a chance we can get that booted up, if there is enough interest and the profit in it to make it walk... also I can design other neoindigenous gear, even structures, and I dont like designing anything half assed....
Also they are realizing what I pointed out here awhile back, if there is a market for the high grade local hardwoods, planting them makes more sense than planting Gmelina for toilet paper, or Teak for yuppie yachts..... so today I was doing my usual “cultural gardening”... Who I am is unimportant, what I have realized is very important to us all.... “Family Earth”....



So, work on your gear, work on your personal integrity, gnaw on the political system some...
Barak Obama is a new beginning... and only the start, dont drop the ball folks... By the way, I know some very decent indigenous guys who would like to hook up with some nice Women from other races and cultures..... Care to do a bit of neoindigenous genetic work girls?

Anyway, its Christmas eve..... and a very memorable one....

Merry Christmas to all!



Morning, Christmas day, slept well, still down the mountain, will make it up to the farm this morning.......

Got to see some pre-Colombian artifacts yesterday, mostly pottery fragments, from the Boruca area, very highly evolved art, plenty of animal motifs, stylized, but recognizable.... Obviously from a culture with plenty of leisure time, and appreciation for beauty.... and not a Garbage TV culture like the technocult.... The area I was in is incredibly pretty, with a wide river cutting though rugged mountains covered by a slightly drier form of rain forest......

The technocult could collapse, and not hurt the area much, people would just plant more food, and life would go on as usual..... my indigenous friend is growing squash for an income, and I suspect doing sales and trades to people raising pigs, he also does sailing ship models and sells them to tourists occasionally, fishes constantly, and lives simple enough......

The indigenous culture has been somewhat contaminated by the latin and modern culture of course, its become a mix of typical indigenous lifestyle with everything else kind of grafted on...


There are cars and chainsaws and pots and pans and TV's, but gardening and fishing continue.... if the technocult were to disappear, the cars and chainsaws would get turned into farming tools at simple forges, the pots and pans would last a generation or two, and the people would go back to pottery and weaving, and in 500 years the major difference between then and a thousand years earlier would be the addition of domestic farm animals and horses...

The biggest problem in this area would be continuing the metals technology, I suspect people like myself would be setting up the forges and foundries of clay and stone, and groups of friends would make charcoal and break up cast-iron motors and cast pans, forge truck springs into hoes and simple machetes, and axes and adzes, and set up boat making cultures, and begin a trading route to where the cities had been to carry scrap metals to the forges, and there would be enough metals in the cities and towns to fuel an Iron age culture for hundreds of years, plenty long enough to reboot coastal trading..... allowing scrapping of coastal cities also.... you'd see a scrap metals economy culture....


I suspect the big problem here will be microbes... local bugs and also plagues that come in from outside the area and take out large numbers of people.... another potential is quakes or drying conditions, and a major fear might be an offshore Naval battle due to the canal, that used nukes, and resulted in contamination...

Mostly for now what I see is quakes increasing, and soon flooding of the lowlands due to sea level rise.... if the economic system totally collapses, you could see famine and resulting disease....

But the current problems are mostly just a wake up call to the people, and get people listening more intently to my sermons on food growing to replace the money economy.... its starting to happen, people are planting more stuff, and the family I stayed with is starting to combine resources of land and capital and labor, and grow more food.... here the difference between Modern, post modern, and post technocult could be fairly seamless...

It all depends on the velocity of collapse or change, and the outside effects like plague or wars....

But the technocult could go away, and this area would just melt into a new culture with people doing crafts and gardening and animal husbandry, and nobody would get excited....

Anyway, nice trip up the river, glad to see my friends, fun to be able to show them fotos of my crafts/neoindigenous items on the laptop and watch their reactions, felt good to be appreciated and respected by indigenous friends and Latinos too.... I have a real life going, one with some adventure in it, the problems get me down sometimes, but most of the egotistical thinking would go away very fast if the money economy and the legal system collapse.... the Rats would get taken out by people defending their food and possessions, no legal system to cause people problems for defending their rights...

I heard yesterday, that a guy that was our local worst village rat, that I and several locals put enough pressure on and he left, came back for a funeral, and everyone was joking in the village about locking up their houses and not leaving anything worth stealing outside...

When I first got to this village there were some fairly serious problems, I have influenced and moderated them somewhat, but the biggest problem is the Legal system, its 99% impediment, and 1% effective.... get rid of it, and the vultures would eat thief meat for awhile, and the dishonesty would disappear as the Thieves got genetically edited, and the kids got to watch it happen.... in a society without money, its your word and your inputs in labor etc., that allows you to work in groups and do better than working alone output wise... without money, Lies and Liars wouldn't make it long... Organized religion would dry up and blow away, and people would be digging in clay banks, hewing lumber and wooden crafts items, making bark and woven baskets, riding horses, milking cows, and sticking pigs...

Life would go on, and probably get better.....

Without TV, people would return to crafts and food growing, making toys instead of buying them, and discover the simple pleasures inherent in such a life...

These same changes could happen pretty much everywhere, and people a bit ahead of the curve due to personal preparedness wouldn't have to worry too much... I think for the survivalist, the most important thing is getting out of the technocult physically as soon as possible... Scatter! And with the potentials for problems from nukes etc., I think going somewhere far from that insanity is a good idea... the people here laugh when I tell them about my ex-coworkers thinking I was crazy for going to live with “Primitives” in a third world country.... they have cars and TV's and schools and hospitals here... and enjoy thinking that people in the US dont realize it yet... The biggest problem here is the dishonesty, which funny enough is the biggest problem everywhere..... maybe its time we all started to think about that, and do something about it, by making it a personal and community focus..... very soon if things continue without a major collapse, homeschooling via internet will allow parents to retake their kids back from the system, and start putting on the brakes from the materialism culture.... and also start teaching better habits than sitting on your ass in a classroom for years, learning stuff with no practical applications in real life.... and expecting a living for selling yourself into economic slavery... honesty will follow dishonesty... because dishonesty is not a viable long term path...

I think the Greedheads have done us all a favor by sucking the economic system dry a bit too hard... its become obvious to everyone that its a crooked game, and people are wandering off into things with less economic components, and more practical ones... growing squash, instead of working for the banana company....

Anyway, I'm down at my worker's house, slept on a foam pad on the floor, He's got a bit of a hang over I think, went to his folks house last night for the Christmas party, I heard him stumbling around a bit when he came in... he was happy yesterday, got the offer to join up with his in-laws in a food growing operation, grouping up all the resources and going for something with some future... I'm sure I will orbit around the area doing my thing... teaching concepts, getting people to realize the value of what they have outside the money culture...

If I can get them to start planting Cortesa and other Native woods, and doing mini-industries based on them doing neoindigenous items that are useful, when the collapse comes, no one will notice or care much.... what I do mostly is proto-types.... and I can do potters wheels or better looms or spinning wheels, or kilns, or forges and small blast furnaces.... so who knows? Maybe a hundred years hence, my artistic influences will be what started a local cultural renaissance in neoindigenous crafts, and people will think nothing of the stuff they make, but the lines and style will be mine....

Cultural Engineering? To create things of beauty that people may copy the style of for thousands of years?

Thats a fairly hefty and honorable legacy.... I know a lot of the fundamentals that have been lost, like tanning leather, and making rope, and making weapons and tools... and in a place where I can live on bananas and coconuts, and have nothing else to do, Why not? I did the crossbow, with the Locals copying it in mind.... I spent several years thinking about how to simplify the release mechanism to allow its production in just wood if necessary...

I will be an important and respected local person as long as I live.... a much better life than working for the system dreaming of a bogus retirement system and owing my soul to the Credit-piranhas, and having the doctors kill me with Chemicals instead of living a long and healthy life...

The system is trash, we can keep the good in it, and we can let go of whats bad.... and if a person begins that process for themselves, when the shit hits, you wont be under it.....

Its a wide world... the cities only cover 2% of the planet.... the other 98% can be wandered around on fairly freely, if you disconnect you ass from a car.... Try learning to walk... get a horse or a boat.... take up full time camping and gardening, or build yourself a cottage, cabin, or Hogan in the Mesas.... it doesn't matter what your style is, What matters is you get outside, work in the morning sun hoeing your corn patch, and in the afternoons weaving a blanket under a tree in the shade... the northern climates are fine for a technocult, but it wont last in its present form, and if fossil fuels are continued, there will be a total collapse...

What we have the least of is time... Trade in your paper, get a couple three acres somewhere warm and sunny, leave the paper merchants with their paper, and you learn how to make tortillas and tamales with your own hands, how to shell beans with a stick, how to grind corn by hand and how to make hominy....

Well, I'm gonna close flap on the laptop, hike up the mountain with my hunk of Cortesa, its Christmas day, I have batteries for the short wave, will be looking for Christmas music later in the either... I hope you enjoyed reading about my mini-adventure to the reserve....

There are infinite possible alternative lives....

You just have to have the guts to make the decision to do it....

It's like deciding to change channels on TV....

no big deal.... just do it....






Later, home finally.... thinking about the great grandfather, a very Regal man, would pass for the Chief of a tribe in any movie... he had a stroke with the heart attack, partially paralyzed,
but not too bad... A year ago when I first met him and we talked about Pinto and Appaloosas,
I laid out a bit of the neoindigenous concept to him, that the technocult was having problems, and our job was to herd the local trip back towards a more sustainable lifestyle, and that much of it would be like the indigenous cultures, and that the kids would more and more grow up in such a culture... This seems to really Resonate with the indigenous peoples I talk to.... I dont think they will take the neoindigenous movement as something silly, I think they will take it as a long hoped for return to sanity.... This guy has a small cement house, the women cook on stoves, there is running water, and the grandkids read books and go to school... This is where its all going folks.... and you can either get ahead of the curve a bit and find the better life sooner, or you can go down with the ship... The party is over, time to go home and enjoy the flowers and the corn while its growing....

But please dont insult this elder statesman by being frivolous and disrespectful... We have to do this from the heart, and not from the Vanity or Ego... This isn't more party.... this is planting seeds, and tending them carefully... The seeds are there in our collective cultural soils... Its time to add the water of love, and get them to sprout... I have never felt more honored than the moment I realized that This Man had wanted to see me personally...

My work , is as a creative Synergist.... to take the strands and weave them into the new tapestry.... I am not alone, I am not important in the long story, what is important is what you do.... I am only one person.... but if somehow I can spark something that catches fire, and makes that old man happy, my life has value, beyond my ability to imagine....

Wealth is not happiness.... contentment is true wealth...

If you are not content in your life, its because its the wrong life....

The right life is in your heart and in your dreams....

I have pointed out the errors in thinking that lies are security....

Truth is security....

and neoindigenism is truth, in fact and deed, and we need to make it go from virtual concepts, to physical reality......

The counterculture of the 60's and 70's got off to a false start, we stumbled... it was rooted in the land, it started in the area I grew up in, and then went to California and became frivolous... Without roots in the soil, nothing grows, nothing survives....

Without facing the sun, nothing grows or prospers...

Without gardens no one eats....

We are all children of the great spirit....
I make handles of Cortesa..... I think long, I think hard, I use up a lot of notebooks drawing out better and better versions of my crafts....

There are many creative people, generally stifled by mundane jobs....


Start a personal secret... begin with the 24 items.... add Item 25... go from there... from the bottom up....

A major milestone is a good dog, another a good horse, and another when you quit your job and wheels roll...

Lets roll folks, and rock..... do it in the rhythm of the seasons, and do it to the best of your ability.... Lets see art and crafts like never before, Lets see a neoindigenous renaissance.....

Imagine the surprise... when the lawyers and manipulators see the herd change course and run off for greener pastures, and leave them choking in the dust with a thousand miles of Buffalo chips to walk through, to catch the herd....

This is no joke... this is our only hope on planet... its the White Buffalo!

Come out of Babylon! With Joy in your heart.... be the best you can be at what you do...

be diligent, be creative, let the bugs crawl on you, and the lizards climb on your leg, and up your back.... I do......

Learn to cook on fires.... plant your corn just before the gentle rains.... Write, share, love....

Morning... Friday, December 26th.... 2008...

Still recovering from my trip.... Mentally..... nothing bad, just away from home, and it takes me awhile to get back into my home-mode head space.... its such a pretty place up the River, And I see things, and connect with people, and it gives my head things to process...

A MYSTERY MOUNTAIN...
There is a mountain up there, thats special.... its surrounded by other mountains, and is off the river a ways.... I have a photo of a rock that is a copy of that mountain, evidently carved by the indigenous peoples for some reason, like a 3-D map of sorts..... the article that came with the Photo says the mountain was some kind of meeting area, perhaps, on an indigenous trail trading route, or crossroads.... I saved the article because it was interesting, but this trip up there, I spotted that mountain..... And it's got some quality that I cant describe, but you look at it, and you know its special.... I pointed it out to the guy that was driving, a local, and he knew what I was talking about, and used the word for Monument.... thats kind of the quality it has.... a natural monument, but its kind of a stealthy quality, no real obvious reason for why it stands out so distinct among endless other mountains in the area.... its just obviously different..... its form is natural, not like it has been altered by the hand of man..... but you see it, and it sticks in your mind.... there are other taller mountains around it.... and its to the northern/western side of the river, and has some other mountains between it and the river Terraba...

There is also on the river, another mountain, like a rock, thats half a rock.. and on the other side of the river, is the other half of the same rock.... like the river runs on a fault line, that split the mountain, and now the wide river runs between the two halves.....

I really like that area.... even the micro climate, and hope to be able to buy or lease a small piece of land up there, just to go camp on and maybe plant some food trees on.... some place to do what I think a person should do with land, and not a big ego hunk, just enough to create a home site for a neoindigenous camp..... I have a real problem with Absentee Landlord-ism.... I see it being like Capitalism or Communism, an Enslavement device..... I think that it should be eliminated on the entire planet.... but I also think there should be something like what I am talking about with the small piece of land.... that a person should be able to have rights to have places to go and live, and others leave it to them.... Perhaps I would go there seasonally..... or decide to live there all year.... We shall see......

There is a lot of encroachment of non Indigenous people onto the reserves.... but some of it is through marriage.... Like the family I stayed with.... one side of the family indigenous and the other side European descendants, and now the grandkids are of variations between the races.... its not a problem, and everybody seems to be fine with it, and I think in whats coming, it will become meaningless other than widening the genetic pool, which is generally a good idea....

And If I am right about the neoindigenism, we are all pretty much going to be “Indians” before this is all over....

In my case, gladly so.....

I suspect we are approaching a plague epoch.... especially with the populations herded into the cities by economics, creating an artificially enhanced condition conducive to the spread of a disease.... I suspect that even if all the other Survival Factors stayed fairly neutral, human populations would eventually be reduced dramatically by microbes just for having the artificial concentration..... if correct, it would go along with the Black Elk Prophecy.... and its one of the reasons I suggest anyone who has a heart for nature get out of the cities, even if it means going to a gypsy lifestyle...as being dead, doesn't look like much fun....

Being free and alive, and traveling as a lifestyle, has some really positive aspects in my mind..

Giving up the “Grasping Materialism” would be such a relief to so many.... Quality of life, isn't “Things”.....

Especially things you really dont need, and have, just because you wanted them, and now they are unused and mostly forgotten...

Buddha has a parable concerning the syndrome.... he tells a story of a man traveling, who comes to a river, and builds a raft, crosses the river, and then because the raft worked so good crossing the river, he decides to keep it, and hikes off lugging the raft....

The obvious moral, is the guy has a mental problem.... and the guy is us......

We dont like to let go of things, even when we no longer need them.....
I think most ownership is like that.... if you dont use it, and dont need it, why own it?

And in the case of Home Loan Housing, you really dont own it.... so the syndrome is even worsened... Add Property Tax, and its even worse..... add absentee landlordism, and you end up with a reality that becomes worse than absurd, its off into “Stinks”......

The other side of the coin might be stuff you do use, and also especially if its hand crafts...

Like my concept of getting your neoindigenous kit in order, i.e. Collecting the stuff you really do need to live free.....

I find the stuff I make, that fits into the neoindigenous category, to be my most Mentally Healthy Possessions.....

And I am on to something with the concept.... basically through minimalism, one can find materialistic sanity... which affects everything.... it frees me.... I dont have to hold down a job, and so help destroy the environment to keep my grasp on something I dont really need, like my proverbial example: the Ranch style house.... it reminds me of people who were a bit off in the head, and owned a saddle and bridle, but never bothered with the horse...

We have millions of ranch style houses, and almost none of them setting on ranches.... i.e. No horse under the saddle....

I suggest you think about letting go of the Ranch style, and the Ranch, and just getting the horse and the saddle, and a few other possessions, that you really need for a life in the open, which is where the whole Ranch concept began.....

Come full circle, complete the circle, and let go of all the bullshit outside of the circle...

Get the horse.... and if necessary, ride it bareback, or have a packsaddle and you walk along side.... The horse is what allows you the freedom.... He comes at a cost yes, and he limits what you can do and where you can go in some ways, but he also allows you to live comfortably with some possessions a bit above the backpack level...

Add a cart, and in open country, you can go live just about anywhere you feel like..... And even in isolated and mountainous regions, if their are roads, say left overs from the technocult, you can still wander around with your horse and cart and camp where ever you find water.....

The Problem with the technocult, is not only are we carrying the raft off, we insist we have to pump the river dry too, and use it all up....

Its like a local woman I know.... she had nine kids.... why? Well she didn't like having menstrual cramps... so she just stayed pregnant.... which seems to me to be fairly insane... I would have suggested an herbal remedy for the cramps, and so eliminated the overpopulation...

But the story shows how short sighted and egocentric humans are.....

We trash the planet for the slightest personal reason, with nary a thought....

And we do it on the grand scale..... Like the Catholic church, and its view that limitless expansion of the Catholic Population is right and good.....

Do I like or support abortions? no.... but nor do I like or support unlimited numbers of little assholes growing into big ones, and making even more little ones.....

Where is the balance?

If we dont find balance, it will be found for us..... which will entail a lot of suffering.....

If a third of humanity dies in a plague, that might create a few emotional problems.....

Wouldn't it be better to have less kids, and to live less bunched up?

Oral sex is pretty good you know......

So is wandering around letting the grass regrow at your last camp-spot, so that next time you go there, your horse can eat more than dust or mud.....

Do I think anyone will listen? Yes, a very few.... The rest seem to be set on pumping the river dry, and then dying of thirst......

Meaning that those who listen, and think, and act, are most likely to be who carries on the species.....

And those that don't and manage to survive by chance, get to survive, but likely with the nasty emotional problems..... Losing a third of your kids, or a third of your spouses and family members, is a hefty price to pay for being stupid and egocentric, and refusing to learn about balance after thousand of years of sages pointing out the very same things.......

And I dont think Plague is the only thing in the pipeline..... I think its just one small part of the natural reactions to silly monkeys with an ego problem....

I think if 5% of humanity survives, it could be considered a major miracle.....

We're that stupid.....

While I write, I hear a chainsaw.... why do I hear a chainsaw? Well, one of my neighbors is sawing lumber, most likely to sell.... Why? Well he wants the money, because he wants more things... and others want the lumber so they can make things to sell for money, so they can get more other things.... and they aren't just interested in things they need.... they are chasing their own vanity with things.... and human vanity is connected to human stupidity, and therefore infinite according to Einstein.....

If I saw lumber, and make things, I think I would want to make things that eliminated the need for all unnecessary other things.... which is what my concept of neoindigenism is all about..... and if I want to feed the fire of personal vanity, I think I will do it by getting artsy, like the pottery I saw this week.... they likely ran out of the need to make more and more pots, so instead, they made nicer and nicer pots..... Quality, instead of chasing quantity with their ego problem.....

Now food, also has a quality problem..... I watched the guys butcher a pig this week, fairly gross project, end result was food, but I got to thinking about it..... That people are so into getting so much for themselves, they do these really gross things to get from point A to point B, when point A is just fine..... I would be just as happy chewing a fresh carrot, as a hunk of dead pig....

Yet there are billions of people who think the carrot isn't good enough for them.... why?

And killing themselves by eating like Pigs, eating Pigs.....

Where does it end?

Lately I've been entertaining a supposition..... What if the Ranchers show up, and they are like us, but also like Pigs? I mean kind of a cross over? Maybe its why some religions dont eat pigs? The sky gods dont like the idea? But to them, eating humans is a fine idea, and maybe its why we are here, for them to come eat.... and they wander around from solar system to solar system, eating the excess humans, like my horse eats grass at campsites...

And if they find out we've been eating the pigs?.....

Maybe They will be upset.... like me with the people who eat dolphins and whales?

Perhaps it could be a convenient justification for filling the freezers with humans? That we are incurable pig eaters and killers?

What goes around comes around....

I suspect there are more than one type of alien life form.... Billions of stars you know.....

So who knows what our next visitors will be like.... if they are anything like us, we will be in deep shit! Maybe they will be the ones with the Vanity and Ego problems, and we will be the dead pigs?

Me? I've learned, that I dont need much, food wise, to stay happy.... a bowl or two of Rice, with some salt and chopped up hot peppers for condiment, and I'm fine..... I see most people as being like alcoholics, not content with a buzz, they have to drink until they either pass out, run out of liquor, or it kills them, which ever comes first....

Yea, I think we have some mental problems.....

Another thing I saw up on the reserve, were some items found in Indian grave sites....
most notable being these hunks of steel; about 6 inches long, that were the tips of knife blades, like if you broke off the end of a Naval Cutlass... they were forged out, had a taper to the cross section, thicker at the back, thinner at the edge, but no handle, nada, just the broken off points.... and I got to thinking about them, and why they might be something people put into the graves with loved ones.....

All I can figure, is they wanted their loved ones to enter the afterlife with at least a hand Celt... but that they broke off the tips, of their own brush knife/machete/bolo etc., because it was all they had, and donating the tip did the job they wanted, and they could sharpen a new tip on their shortened blade on a stone....

And it struck me as a lesson, a message, from at least a couple hundred years back, about a survival fact; that these people considered a hand Celt to be the minimal knife necessary, and shortened their own blade to donate to their dead in the next life.....

There are some serious concepts at play here.....

One, the value of even a simple hand Celt hunk to a subsistence people culture...

Two, that we can get by on less, and so donate to others....

And three, that its a good idea to save something for later.... like the rest of the blade, to pass down to our kids......

Interesting conjecture..... with hefty messages.......


Another interesting hit I got, was when I talked to the Great Grandfather, I remembered the story about the American, cant remember his name... its been 40 years since I read the story, Tom Ransford maybe? Who rode in on the Indians, alone, in the middle of a war, and made friends with Cochise, and ended up single handedly stopping the war..... the Great Grandfather kept calling me Don Gris.... i.e. The Latin “Sir” title..... like Nobility.... I was uncomfortable with it, here is this guy with 50 or so grandkids and great grandkids, respected by his tribe, giving me a title? But I got to thinking about it.... and realized the guy is friends with my ex-girlfriend's family, it was her brother he had bring me to him, and these people likely talked about me even years ago, as I have the archery habbit, and such, which tweaks the Indigenous types.... The Indians here were treated like shit until recently, and considered the low end of the social scale..... called “Blacks”, (Read:Niggers) and the women and men both constantly denigrated in common conversation by the Latins..... They, the very same Latins who worship the US like Muslims with Mecca.... “Como en Estados” is a common phrase, even selling shit on TV commercials.... And then this Gringo shows up, who mostly minds his own business, but is into things indigenous.... Kind of an affirmation of who they were and are..... in a culture where they have gotten anything BUT affirmations by the dominant Latin culture.... but the Latins Kiss the butt of American culture? Mind boggling? Theres evidently something going on, that the Latins dont grok about American culture, if an american white guy shows up, and does and makes Indigenous crafts, and now after this week, they get to grok that I do this blog, and that I am pushing the concepts planet wide, that I laid on the Great Grandfather last year, That in the future we would all return to the old ways, in order to survive and prosper.... its a bit Messiah feeling.....

And I've been busily making all kinds of stuff, and showed them fotos without a thought....
And the old guy didn't see that stuff, but some others did..... really nice stuff, all neoindigenous, all practical, and all of the very best materials, and the very best designing I am capable of.... in other words not a joke, not hokey, not cheap copies.... I'm putting heart into my craft..... and all of it says complements to a down-trodden folk......

Hmmmm?


All and all, its a good feeling to me, that my work isn't just accepted, that its appreciated, and from the heart, by a people who fought the Latins for hundreds of years, to preserve their way of life, and their lands, and who had the dogshit beaten out of them by people with more technology and less heart.... They have definitely learned humility the hard way, and to me their appreciation of my crafts and who I am, means more than anything all the rest of you could ever do...... well, other than maybe following the lead in a sincere manner, and saving the planet from Armageddon..... That just might get their attention and respect, and be a decent payback and Karmic clean-up, for what was done to the indigenous peoples all over the planet.....

To be acknowledged as having a high value, and being right..... yes, that would be good for them emotionally, and a good thing for us to do for them..... And not a bad idea as a way to save our own stupid asses..... definitely a re-balancing.... and if we need anything, thats it.....

And if anything would do them the most good, that would be it....... a thousand times better than a government check in the mailbox.....

Funny, the Tao talks about the very thing, that those who lose the war, often win the culture battle...

Winning, and being right, are two different things.... sometimes on opposing ends of a dichotomy pair?


We shall see.... but I thought you might want the vignette to chew on yourself mentally.... Me? A virtual nobody..... but I more than suspect I am onto something important, and hope there are people following my by-line, and thinking long and hard about the points I have realized.....

Anyway, I need to eat today, which entails cooking, which entails getting my butt in gear some....


Later, rice on, with green Cuadrados, and starfruit, and hot peppers in it....

Anyway, back towards my point, the great grandfather likely heard about me long before he met me, due to my crafts, and through the girlfriend and family.... also I did plant the red corn seed with them yesterday, albeit in another part of their local group...

i.e. Another affirmation, and bringing to their attention something of value long ignored and long forgotten..... I've got a sneaking suspicion that one is going to get thought about....And maybe grow some legs....... one of the guys, I believe indigenous, admitted seeing the red genetics in the yellow corn.....

He was the driver.... and saw me pick out their special mountain, and that I somehow could see it was special too..... I would have picked out that mountain even if I didn't have the foto and short article about it...... the mountain talks..... there is no doubt it has something which is unexplainable, but an obvious quality about it.....


By the way, the Costa Rican government wants to build a dam for hydro power, and flood that whole valley.... I dont think its a good idea, with towns below, on an obvious fault line, and with it being an indigenous area.... I think if they do, it wont last long.... the quake factor from global warming would take it out within a few years.... just like it will take out Glen Canyon dam, and all the others, and please Edward Abbey's spirit.....

Local version of The Army Corps of Humdingers.....

Just more big egos making more big mistakes......

Work on your ego folks, its really important.....

Its become obvious to me that long term survival and ego are connected..... with survival on the little end of the ego dichotomy pair.......


The HUMILITY end is where you want to be......

Anyway, on the red corn, I had a couple of females hear that sermon.... meaning in an area without TV, it will get talked about......

I hope so, and that they start breeding for it....

I guess I am a bit of a white Buffalo?

The great spirit seems to be using me for something.... 'glad of it!

Remembered the other Ogalla Sioux guy's name with Leonard Peltier: Russel Means.....

Lets not forget Russel either.....

If Bush and his FILTHY band of Buggerers & Thieves can go free, after lying through their teeth to cause a NASTY war for DIRTY profit, Leonard and Russel can and should go free..... Pass it on..... This is no different than Nelson Mandela in South Africa, they are in fact political prisoners.....

Its time to bring down the Iron Curtain.... Even if it takes a million people showing up at the Prison with picks.... I think those guys might like to ride a horse, or fish a mountain creek or something......

Amazing how immature the American Government tends to be..... There is a long history of vindictive behavior.... from Castro and Cuba, to Manuel Noriega in Panama, to Geronimo and his entire family kept in cells for life, at Fort Pickens........ Anyone who slights the status quo's ego, or fights for rights or freedoms, or in Noriega's case, doesn't continue to suck up to the BUSH/CIA Drug lords, gets treated like a woman treats an unfaithful male.... Hell hath no fury.......

I forgot to mention Bobby Fischer......

They hounded him to his death..... for playing a chess game they told him he couldn't play...

Who do they think they are? Gods? Evidently so........

Demons are more like it.....

It was none of their FUCKING BUSINESS......

What to do? Leave the system... quit feeding the Vampires.... If they made it a law that Vampires could suck your Jugular, would you obey that too?

You might as well.... holding down a job etc., is like saying: “Here's my neck, please leave me enough blood to stagger off and fall down and die with.”

Get out folks..... get out..... its your only real hope....

There isn't going to be time to save the technocult.... the Global Warming effects have been consistently ahead of the curve on the Scientific community.... our best minds cant keep up with the increasing rate of acceleration of the problem.... and all they have to do is be able to imagine.... Thats bad, when they cant imagine fast enough, to keep up with the reality....

Get the kids to safety.....


I also just remembered, the Wounded Knee area of the Dakotas is THE poorest area in the US, do you suppose that just happened?

Well.... I know something about dichotomy pairs, and what I know, is; Oppression is the Forge of a People... You oppress them and they get stronger..... from the roots.....

Its all part of the balance of Nature..... the status quo hasn't a chance anywhere except in hell.... its where they belong, its where they are headed...... I wouldn't keep tagging along if I were you.....

Well.... getting cloudy.... best sign off for today......


OK, back, had a bit more sun....

And wanted to plug non-violence... Violence should always be the very last resort of anyone with a brain.... there are other and better ways of changing things, beyond violence and even politics... mostly it has to do with changing yourself.... I think in my case I've learned that to Not “Stay and Play, and Pay” is the best route.... If you dont believe in what the system is doing, you certainly dont belong in it... and you shouldn't be supporting it with your life's works.....

Like Gandhi and the refusal to buy the British salt.... that hurt them more than just Peaceful protesting..... Ouch! In the pocket book..... Personally I think the system is about to become fairly moot... and if one has a little patience, it will go away all by itself.....

Pushing it, isn't a good idea, it might fight back, and forget to fall over the edge of its own accord.....

My suggestion is invariably the same, lighten up the baggage, enhance the mobility, and figure out an alternative life that is outside of the box as much as is humanly possible....

This is no major threat to the status quo.... not 1% has half enough brains or guts to do it...
And they wouldn't notice if 10% wandered off into the brush and didn't come out.......

The Government wouldn't know a real statistic if they saw one.... they're too busy creating false statistics....

Like the unemployment stats that ignore anyone who goes off the end of the unemployment insurance conveyor.... if those folks spent their unemployment checks buying camping gear and ponies, and just disappeared, the Government wouldn't know they were gone..

And those people would soon discover that life had some good to it once you get outside the box, and they would quickly set up a barter/labor/favor economy, and soon be living better and happier than ever.....

And when the shit hit, they would see the flash and smoke on the horizon, but soon go back to whatever it was they were doing......

The system only has as much power over you as you allow it to, with your own petty fears...

Learning to let go of the system, is learning to let go of your fears....

Mostly its learning to let go of an excessive diet.... once you get to where you can live on very little, you realize that most of your eating before was either cultural, of fear based....

I had two bowls of rice today.... and I am fine with it....

And I could have stayed and helped disappear that butchered pig..... but I have learned how to be content on very little, and I have learned to like being like that....

The end result of minimalism, is discovering you have plenty....

At maybe 20% of the previous consumption levels.....

That means a nice garden is more food than you are likely to need....

And that all that time and effort you spent supporting the Ranch Style, was kind of stupid...


Morning....
Saturday, December 27th, 2008....

Rough night, had some joint pain, not sure from what, took a half aspirin twice, something I very seldom do, then weird dreams, and then woken in the middle of my normal sleep period, sounded like my dog was being carried off by a mountain lion or something, armed up, staggered out with flashlight, screaming for the dog, and something came up pushing through the brush and weeds, burrowing its way up the canyon side, where a human couldn't get through, I'm still half groggy and rattled, and “Thump, thump, thump...” Tail wagging hitting the dirt... it was the dog.... she evidently had a fight with something down in the canyon bottom, and was a bit chewed, but not much, and happy as can be.... “Good Fight!” attitude....

I kind of collapse.... try to go back to sleep with the mosquitoes droning in my ears, head under the blanket, finally get to sleep, woke just before dawn....

Did hear some short wave last night.... Bob Chapman.... He thinks the Status Quo still wants to push for a war, and that the economy is going south no matter what they do....

I agree, it will take at least a generation, before people believe in the big lie again, and by then it will likely all be over from the war they want to have to supposedly fix things?

Yea... kill off a bunch of innocent people, swiss the cheese a bunch more, trash the planet more than ever, and think you've made things better because you got richer than ever...

Sounds like: “Club Insanity” to me.....


Also thinking this morning, that I want to state I am not an Idealist on the Indian thing....

I've seen the seedy side, and even had a Drunk Indian who didn't bathe, for a room mate in the Military..... but I have also lived long enough to meet plenty of people in lots of colors, who also had their unsavory problems......

My point is, that the neoindigenous thing isn't idealism, its a philosophy for survival......

Take the good out of everything you can.... combine it into a new viable culture.....

Because “Club Insanity” is going down......

The economic problem is still in the little numbers.... but I suspect its like the little sore throat you get, just before you end up in bed, with a fever, diarrhea, and vomiting with the influenza....

Its an economy thats infected.... has a bit of a virus....

And we are going to do some toilet huggin' before this is all over.......

Better to barf it out as soon as possible....

i.e. Get away from the whole sick mess.....

And thats what this blog is all about......

Another thing I was thinking about this morning was the retreat of the Nez Pierce under Chief Joseph..... that and a lot of other US Army Massacres.....

Those people just wanted to be left alone, and retain their lands and culture....

And got hounded to death by Ego Headed pricks in Uniforms and in Suits and Ties.....

Power trippers.....

Well, looks to me like the power trippers not only lost the Moral Battle, but the Cultural War as well... Black Elk looks to be right on target......

And Chief Seattle nailed it on the head..... insanity!

Our Civilisation is run by sick fuckers......

They got the virus; “Yellow Metal Fever.....”

And I think before this is all over, only the most sane will survive......

Those sane enough to read the writing on the wall, and get the hell out......

I also suspect buying gold isn't going to do anyone much good.... things will accelerate once it starts, with progressive layered catastrophes, and if you make it out the far end with body and soul still connected, that will be incredible luck, and if you grasp at anything, including gold, you only minimize chances of making it.......

There will be no shortage of gold after its over.... most of it guarded by skeletons and ghosts...

I'd rather be carrying something more practical....

Almost anything....

More arrowheads....

I heard last night that the Israelis are threatening to invade Gaza... The Missiles just keep coming... more Greedheads.... occupying land that isn't theirs.....

Sure, they can invade Gaza, and perhaps thousands will die, but it wont end the problems, now will it.....

In fact, it will just make the problems worse.... and perhaps lead to that nuclear war...

Being power trippers and Greedheads is eventual doom... 'Wont work, never has, never will...
It only pretends to work.... like the big lie.....

If you want to continue to live in the land of Oz.... go ahead Dorothy... but dont expect to wake up in your own bed in Kansas.... expect to wake up dead......

Anyway..... another pretty day here, nothing on my agenda except cooking some rice later in the day, and trying to catch up on some chores....all minor shit.... busy work, trying to pull up my tail....

Also heard last night that a study has shown your chances of Diabetes are more than cut in half if you keep enough vitamin C in your system... lemonade later today.....

I like lemon juice on my rice too...

Where did I go wrong? Moving to the Tropics, and leaving that fat Pension plan behind...

I'd be trashed now, health wise, and economically.... and the problems are just beginning... and what am I doing? Running around teaching people how to change gears and have what they need to survive.... its like the Red Corn thing.... The Indians will pick up on that one.... long before the ticos will.... why? Pride.... pride in something indigenous, and also humility, the humility to listen and think....

They aren't too good to listen to some crazy gringo, who does strange things like makes indigenous crafts, or lives simple, or who cares about wildlife....


ALLIGATOR CATCHING
By the way, I was given some teachings on Alligator catching.... also will likely get to try Alligator Saviche fairly soon... I was laughing when they were telling me, thinking about doing a foto series, for my blog; “This is raw alligator meat, watch me eat it!”

I like fish Saviche, and they say the alligator is really good.... could become a personal favorite....

How serious of a survivalist are you?

Come on in, the Alligators are fine!

In fact, I think I'll be looking for some steel to make alligator hooks out of.... the Indians say its a real problem, no one manufactures the right sizes, Mustad and Eagle Claw stop a bit shy.....

Hooks made from about half inch steel rod, on chain leaders, with a short shank, kind of like a big Salmon egg hook....

Then “ripe” bait....

Gee? Its the only fishing rig I dont have yet.....

Gotta havvit! Its survivalist gear!

I did see some cable leader like stuff in Canoas, but I thought; “Way too thick”.... you know, I think I'll have some of it soon....

Hmm? What to use for cable crimps.... have to keep my eyes open....

I've got a half inch nylon rope, an anchor rode... how many Indians does it take to pull in a gator?

Ah! yea.... life got so much more interesting when I quit my day job...

I remember being so bored.....

Not anymore....

It was also fun watching that Indigenous woman look at me... the body language, she saw me and stopped in her tracks... and then realized I saw it all, and lowered her eyes.....

I'm busy at the moment... another Tribe... but if I get un-busy, That direction looks interesting...

And to think I used to almost pass for normal....

You poor fools..... niggerized morons....

Insecurity is so devastating to one's chances of a fun life....

And soon so devastating to one's chances of survival.....

Morning.... interesting night...






ARNI CORO and the “SUPER ISLANDER 3” Transceiver

Had the short wave on, radio CUBA, and went to sleep, woke up at near midnight, and it was my favorite radio Havana program, Arni Coro, a ham radio buff, with a weekly program on radio CUBA... Arni is one of my personal heros, and has been for years, he loves Radio, tends to ignore politics, sticks to the truth, and gives the whole planet his heart and hobby every week and has for years, most of my life in fact.... every since I can remember... and his Radio hobby is a connector, humans to humans all over the planet... I would bet he is the most famous HAM Radio operator on the Planet, and second most famous Cuban, and rightly so...

Arni is no doubt a Cuban National treasure, and in my opinion, a Planetary Treasure....


And Arnie is up on the internet....

And he is constantly putting out all kinds of information helping people interested in Radio communications and internet.... also general electronics....

For several years I have wanted to get into ham radio, and pick up where I left off as a Viet Nam era Navy radioman, and long time DXer.....

A friend gave me a really nice ICOM Transceiver, but I couldn't power it up on a near zero money and no electricity..... it was too much radio, too many watts, and way beyond the minimalistic gear I need to learn morse code on... The Navy had mostly phased out Morse training by the time I went through RMA school, and I didn't get to learn code.... but I plan on downloading and studying code and getting my ham license ASAP once up on the net....

So for several years I have been also thinking about getting into building my own gear, something simple, minimal wattage, and maybe only a few frequencies..... just enough to get up on the either, for a hobby and survivalist purposes.... being able to go through the Ham network and find out if family members are OK in the event of a nuclear war, or Plague, could be critical to one's ability to function, and go on.....

SUPER ISLANDER 3!
And last night, I jerked awake! Arnie and a friend of his have come up with a small low power Transceiver for a single bandwidth, made mostly out of parts from the new fluorescent light-bulbs, and an amplifier for the transmitter side, putting out about 50 watts, using electron tubes out of old TV sets....

What this means folks, is I can get the schematics, as can you, and build simple low power transceivers for emergency use... it would also allow someone in a place with an oppressive government to put together a clandestine communications set out of stuff the government couldn't control access to, and power it off of a car battery, or solar panel, or power supply made from a 12 volt battery charger etc. or inverter......

Arni and friends have just done more for free speech and communications security of common man than anyone in human history.....

Bucky fuller talked about the ruling families, i.e. Illuminati, “losing it” i.e. Control, with the invention of Radio and computer.... he was right about radio and kinda wrong about computer, as its all easy as pie to analyse and sift through on the internet for the illuminati types...

But until now, governments could control access to Radio comms, with licenses and limits on availability of gear and with potential NAZI organizations like the FCC...

Now.... all has changed..... we can all have a backup for our internet comms.... with applications in the future even for lone Asteroid Miners.... Common man has just been given his in alienable right to free speech in a way that no law and no limit can control....

I also suspect the gear can be added to, or modified, to allow HF boot up of Internet connections, or similar gear can be designed, for when Google's Satellite internet goes on line within the next few years, i.e. Similar gear to give you the wattage to link your computer with the system in adverse circumstances....

So, Three Cheers for Arnie and Friend!

HIP-HIP-HOORAY!
HIP-HIP-HOORAY!
HIP-HIP-HOORAY!

And play “Fanfare for Common Man” (Aaron Copeland) in their honor!

I will be visiting Radio Havana's website and downloading the plans and schematics the very next time I get online.... I will also send the files to all of my personal friends, so that they too have the ability..... get this one out folks, this is a big tool in the fight against the control freaks and Greedheads.....

This is definitely “Uncle Fidel's Revenge” on the status quo...... I think their Poisoners and Assassins finally got to him, and cut down his entertainment value to the rest of us, but Fidel gets the last laugh with this one! The OLD COMMUNIST must be grinning... his buddy Arnie and friend have just made the world village COMMUNICATIONS COMMUNITY a rebel radio paradise.... Grin! Fidel! And you lived to see it! Balmy Breezes and Swaying Palms!



Electronics is the real magic of the human race..... and this invention would allow even post nuclear war survivors to reboot planet wide comms in short order, followed by rebooting shipping and trading......

i.e. The ability to reboot civilisation, rather than slipping into anarchy and dark ages for a thousand years..... there would be plenty of infrastructure left, but no way to connect it all without a communications network.....

Anyway, I am happy dog about this one!



THE SUCCOTASH PATCH
Also hiked out to the bean and corn patch this morning, it had been a few days due to my trip to the Indigenous Reserve.... boy do we have a really nice garden going, on very minimal labor... my latest agriculture experiment is definitely a success, and has serious possibilities to save a lot of lives in whats coming.... by switching from machetes to hoes, the food patch just got several times more efficient..... and we can now grow all the food we need very simply and not need to slash and burn etc.



Basically all you have to do, is; broadcast the seed, chop the brush, and then hoe the brush roots, which covers the seed, and you get the nicest staple food patch imaginable...

This should work almost anywhere... and its almost weed free..... and all done with nothing but a machete and a “Proto-tiller” (Ha!) a common hoe.....

What this means to the neoindigenous survivalist, is with just the seed, like corn and beans, a machete, and a decent hoe, he can turn any patch of decent soil into dry food with minimal labor....

I also plan to use the same patch in rotation, plant manicillo, (Clover), and keep re-hoeing it, crop after crop, and as we do, begin forming raised beds and paths with the very same labor... we can also use chopped brush from other areas as Mulch/Fertilizer, and we will add other local minerals we have available like the gray Slate, and the lime we get from the seep springs......

This is an important one folks, a subsistence technique that is very simple, very effective, and uses minimal labor and minimal tools, and doesn't require fossil fuels or fertilizers, can be done organically, and is easy enough even just one person could do an acre or more at the right time of the year for your climate..... I had my worker do a bit every morning for a week or so....

And we have a fairly impressive area in corn and beans looking as nice as any area I have seen here, including burnt areas, tilled areas, and areas “Cleaned” with herbicides.... and there is no poison, no smoke and carbon, and no loss of ambient organic materials as in burning....

And in a survival situation, the whole community could be “On the hoe handle” in short order.... allowing a family or survival group to do several acres of staple foods quickly, with nothing but their time and labor...... This is potentially Large Scale in comparison to trying to double dig raised beds..... you get a lot of area fast, and if done with appropriate seasonal timing, as in this tropical climate, as the dry season is just coming on, the corn and beans make it on residual soil moisture and weeds die, due to being hacked and drying at the surface.... This would work almost anywhere....

My worker was just figuring it out before he left on Christmas Break, But I think he is in for a very pleasant shock tomorrow when he sees it.... and the fun part here, is we have another growing/planting epoch coming up in April.... for corn and rice.... the best time of the year in fact, in a 3 crops per year climate with no irrigation, 4 with irrigation.....

Meaning, we'll have the hoes sharp in April, and go from an experimental area to big area, and so have almost instant 90 day food security for ourselves....


We also look to have saved the MAYAN BLOOD red corn genetics... even if we have to irrigate by hand, we will at least have substantial seed for the April epoch.... and seed to give to our Indigenous friends, and get it started on the Reserve....

Meaning after Aprils crop, in July, I should be almost totally food self sufficient, and beginning to send Tortilla flour down the hill to my niece's mom/worker's wife, and we will also get to boot up the Mayan Blood with the indigenous friends, and teach the machete & hoe staple gardening technique to others.....

My worker's wife's family is doing a commercial food growing boot up, which I suggested to them a year ago...

The one son in law who is the Agronomy Engineer and his wife who is an accountant if I remember correctly make decent money, and are financing hired labor to augment their own and family labor.... they were harvesting beans while we were there, and providing about a half dozen new jobs in the community.....

And now we get to tell them about our successful experiment.... which will allow them to do a big area in April also, with no burning or chemicals.....

If I can get them to try it, the technique will almost instantly make it into the indigenous community.... I may invite an indigenous friend to come as an added worker in April, and when he sees how well it works, it will spread to the indigenous community.... as will the red corn seed....

This is fun!

“Power gardening!” with no fossil fuels etc.

Food Crisis? There is no food crisis..... what we have is an organizational crisis.... caused by Greedheads and liars......

The truth will set you free... so look for it!

Anyway, all good news, and I'm making a bit of hominy this morning for self and dog out of some old seed corn.....

Its some of the Mayan red stuff from last year.....

Home grown hominy! Yumm!

And I have already told some indigenous friends about the red corn.... and one stated he had seen that red genetics in local seed... but never realized what it meant.......

So if I show up over there with some improved seed in say a couple months, I think they will definitely be into planting it.... it sparks their pride in being indigenous folk, like learning about the Pinto and Appaloosa horses for the Great Grandfather.....

I may have started something here.... I hope so.... I really like these indigenous people.....



This all will also be something to nail Pretty Woman with, next time I see her..... I can tell her about the corn and bean experiment, and suggest that its no problem now to feed her kids, I just need them to come help hoe in April, and she can start making tortillas in July....

Also dont forget that I am headed towards inventing a simple grain mill using a stack of 6 inch carbide saw blades and a common bench grinder.... it should do meal plenty fine for Mexican style tortillas.....

Meaning the locals can copy it, and get away from the long and tedious current method of making tortillas due to the Corona mills coming with dull grinding stones (Metal) from the factory and all the locals using lime soaking and boiling to soften the corn for the dull mills, which are hand crank.... here, it limits the ability to make tortillas in quantity.... meaning I am in route to putting more food on a lot of tables.... Which has been my long term goal with the farm, to experiment and then seed the area with what we learned.....

Thank you Great Spirit for the successes.....


Inexpensive Chinese bench grinders, (for Metal work) are available here for $50 to $75 which with a half dozen carbide saw blades @ $1.50 each, makes a very cheap grain mill.... I have a classic “Diamant” from Denmark, about $900 now on internet.... and its fairly slow, and I came up with the saw-blade meal grinder idea as a way to save generator gas and grind quicker.....

What this means, is when I get it built, and do a report here, I can also email V.I.T.A., (volunteers in technical assistance) and get the concept out world wide through peace corps (Peach core?) and NGO's.....

Hey! You Chinese folks better boot up the bench grinder factory! We may need a bunch of them.....

You heard it all here first folks! At the Planet's very first and most original, Neoindigenous Blog site!

(This is a lot more fun than working for the county.....)

Obama thinks we need to expand the Peach Core? I think I'm a bit ahead of him on the curve! Ha! Glad to see the man in the office! So very incredibly glad!

Fellow Rainbow Niggers! Quit scratchin' your knappy heads, and Man your Hoes! We are about to solve the food crisis!


A STATUS QUO MONOPOLY ON VIOLENCE?
I also heard a thing last night on VOA, about the story of the guy who called the black female students “Water Buffaloes” and so started the whole hate speech flap....



Yea.... it wasn't the right thing to say..... unless they were from Southeast Asia....

if they were american black girls, “Buffalo Gals” would have been more correct, or if they were college girls from Tibet, “Yaks” which is what they were doing, excessive Yakking....

And if they were some plump ones from Florida, “Manatees” the local state Sea cows.....
Long horns? Texan girls? Wildebeests? African Africans?

Yea... being incorrectly called “water buffaloes” was a really serious insult.... deserving of all the new rules and laws and problems, & causing attacks on freedom of expression...

And the segment on VOA also mentioned the “Fighting Words” exception to the freedom of speech amendment..... funny.... I dont remember that in the bill of rights.... no “fighting words” exceptions..... do you mean calling the Brits “Red Coats” would be considered fighting words, and so illegal under current interpretations of the bill of rights.... and does that mean that the Status Quo assumes it has an automatic monopoly on violence in a culture?

Gee? I dont think so.....

I think I have the right to use “fighting Words” Like the guy who said “Lets Roll” on 9/11... if he had lived would he have been convicted for using “Fighting words”?

Or if somebody is trying to rape, rob, or kill in my neighborhood, I dont have the right to use “fighting words” to call up my Militia of the moment?

I think you people are Fucking absurd with all your stupid laws and interpretations thereof...

I have the right to say any fucking thing I want, including “FIRE!” in theaters, if there is in fact a fire....

And if you think different, you can kiss my ass scumbag, and I am ready to defend that right with violent means, just like my forefathers did.... so you are warned properly.... if you attempt to infringe that, or any other inalienable right, it will be legal self defense on my part including violence against police officers etc., who are exceeding their constitutional mandates by attempting to arrest or kill me for defending those rights....

YOU HAVE BEEN PROPERLY WARNED!


Now back off assholes.....

*and any legal system capable of coming up with such “Hate Speech” and “fighting words” logic is in fact very obviously illegitimate, and so null and void as a constitutional legal system, and a “fair trial” as laid down in the constitution is therefore obviously impossible, meaning I do in fact, have the right to resist arrest by violent means if necessary....

You people are fucking absurd morons....

Better go look up “Original Intent”.... and see if you can figure out what the words mean.....



The Original intent of the constitution and bill of rights, and the declaration of independence, was to prevent stupid power-hungry jerks like you, from doing precisely what you have been doing....


Now, there, are proper “Fighting Words”......


And if you want to send your Hyenas and Jackals after me, please include a self addressed and stamped body bag in the right hip pocket of each of their SWAT TEAM camo suits....

You people are way out of line....

And Obama wouldn't be president elect, if it wasn't for a bunch of stupid rednecks with guns, willing and ready to stick up for the constitution, many of who did not vote for Obama, but who would have still gone in on Bush and company, if they had declared martial law in a power grab... Like they so obviously wanted to do.....

Think about that Barak, when you think about anti-gun legislation.....

And for the rest of you, I think you are incredibly fucking stupid.... the reason we have the problems we do, and the crime in the streets is because almost all of you aren't really doing your real jobs; Police sitting at computers filing forms, are not preventing crimes or catching criminals, they are kissing the butts of a bunch of faggot drones..... and Judges who interpret the constitution how ever they feel like, are not doing their jobs either, and Legislators who come up with such crap are the worst... a bunch of really stupid lawyers.....

Obama is a lawyer...... But I dont think Obama is stupid...

And I suspect he groks the possible problems with a status quo made up of absolute idiots....

Having been a second class citizen to them, most of his life.....

And I dont think the job is done with the election of just one man....

And I would suspect that if the rest of you think its going to be business as usual and things will get automatically better without you actually having to do your jobs, without having to actually think, and without having to actually understand the “Whys” of the American system of Government, you dont deserve your jobs, and I hope you lose them, and are replaced with people who are willing to work, and think, and who understand original intent, and who have the guts to stick up for the constitution even at the risk of losing their jobs, or their lives...

You dont deserve the freedoms you have......

Fuck you! And the horse you rode in on.....



There... now I feel better.....

Expressing the truth is so good for one's psyche....

Thats probably why you all need shrinks these days; somebody to whom you can express the truth, with your nano-amounts of guts.....

You aren't men..... you are no better than Verbally Neutered Cats.....

While Your wives chatter about “Feminine wisdom,” thats an oxymoron, like Carlin's “Military Intelligence”....

Feminism is very much like a feminine hygiene problem.... it stinks, and only they dont know it...


Hmmm? Blogging is so expressive..... I like it as a form of expression.... one can be verbally artistic... like never before..... do I qualify for advant guard?


I suspect so......



Another thing I heard last Night, is Israel's new military over-reaction and use of excessive force and collective punishment against the people of Gaza....

If God is just, you suckers are in deep shit...

The reason the Palestinians are launching rockets, is because its their God given right to defend themselves, & to try and get their homes and lands back.... and you lying scumbags who keep them from it, by any and all means, including using Mainstream Propaganda, are in the wrong PERIOD!

So go ahead, abuse them.... and when the Messiah shortly returns, he may just not be on the side of your same types, the serpents and vipers as he called your kind, last visit.... maybe he will be on the side of common folk who planted the orchards, that you Long nosed Scrotum-Jowls have put your cheapskate concrete fence around.... and fenced the rightful owners out of.....

Yea, Kill hundreds of people, because they can launch a few rockets at your rich villas and into your swimming pools, while you choke off their very drinking water....

I hope God publicly fucks you all, with phone poles...... before he burns you......




There, I hope somebody turns the Palestinians onto my blog.... undoubtedly near poetry to their cultural ears....

“What's right, is right, what ain't ain't...”

And its a God who is the judge...

not you....

Lies and Petty justifications aren't likely to be much of a defense at your trials.....

The Judge isn't going to be some fellow Elite with the same signet ring as yours...

Its going to be a guy with red eyes, and scars on his hands, and maybe a missing thumb if the shroud of Turin is his.....

And he will know if you are guilty by your smell perhaps.....

And He's going to burn you..... for all you have done, and are yet to do......

And I will have provided all the OUTS and all the logic, and all the creative sollutions to have prevented it....

Will I be listened to? Of course not, those blind with greed and power will not listen, ever....

The rest of you.... Get out of Babylon!

By any means necessary.....

And be quick about it!




Later, eating home grown, and home made Hominy....

This is more fun than “Creative Writing 101”.......

And I dont have to kiss the teacher's butt, or avoid sensitive subjects......

And you dont have to read it if you dont like it.....

Later.... fed, stuffed in fact.... the dog too, and not $1.00 worth of food... cooked over a wood fire, ashes used to soften the corn.... some salt and hot peppers.... and a cup of cafe' as a follower...

Key to success with Hominy, is rinsing it good enough.... I like to cook the corn until it swells, then wash it, rinse several times, boil it in fresh water, then rinse it some more....


Morning...

Monday, December 29, 2008....
Woke at 2:am again, cafe' until dawn, thinking about my desire to do the boat business, and the potentials in a proposal to the indigenous folks to form a corporation together, and start the business up the River, and create some jobs for them and sell boats, and get them also into some boats... my personal objective is to slowly work up into bigger and bigger boats, until I am building “Small Ships” almost the size of the small tramp freighters that existed in serious quantities all over the planet 50 to 100 years ago....

But first, boats, yachts, etc. and I see the river as being a perfect location, as we can get out to sea with the finished products....

Plus I like the people, and love the area, and want to grow a garden and fruit orchards in the soil, which there, is highly mineralized due to a mix of granite and other stone base-rocks.....

Today, I and my worker discussed it all, and we will likely “Join up” on some agriculture projects with them, and he is thinning the Red corn, as I write, and we will be planting some with the indigenous folk likely in April, also introducing the Lima beans, and perhaps start some breadfruit there also to get into the mineralized soils and away from the fungus problems in this area.... that area also has a drier climate....

Plus, I am likely to be a grandfather within a few years, and I think I'd like my genetics mixed with the indigenous genetics.... hybrid vigor, and Tropicalized genetics sounds like a nice gift for my great grand children........

Also a shipping company, with sailors made up of the best sailor and explorer genetics on the planet.... When the Europeans spread out across the Pacific Ocean, every inhabitable island was already inhabited, and had been for many generations, by the Polynesians, and the American Indigenous peoples are a mix of Polynesian and Oriental races, and have formed a new race, and were the planet's most exploratory genetics thousands of years before the Vikings and Europeans arrived to the Americas.... So I see it as fitting, to re-boat them.....

Especially with the space elevators etc. coming over the horizon.....

I also heard Obama is talking a big project to fix the planet's economy.... the Space Elevator is the obvious wise choice... so any and all of my readership needs to help get my concepts out and to him somehow..... its the best way to fix all the problems.....

And for the Indigenous peoples, I see a NATION in their future, the first “International Nation”....

They are connecting now on internet, and a Federation of the Tribes is INEVITABLE...

Some day they will have INDIGENOUS UNIVERSITIES, Passports of the federated tribes, and I hope to start the company that will connect the dots in the physical sense, with a beginning of what I should hope arrives at a fleet of boats, and Smallships, and on, into an OCEAN NATION, and then into space and to the stars...

My life's work, is just beginning.....

And it has the potentials to save your butt too....

but I can do almost nothing alone..... We have to get the Space Elevator concepts out, and to Obama to survive as a species.... so gee!?.... I hope “someone” is reading this.....

And I hope some of those readers have connections......

Because we will need all of them.....

I dont give a shit about money.... if I did I wouldn't be living in a tent with animals and bugs crawling over me....

I'd be wearing a business suit, and using my brain to screw my fellow man....

I am an artistic person.... my priority is the projects.... money is just a tool....

And I am a social person, and hate when my fellow humans are less than good....

But I have to learn to forgive, and to keep pushing for what I know is the right path....

Because thats the only way to get there.....

Point A to point B.....

And I do want to live to see humanity creating an OCEAN NATION to the FAR STARS....

Any way, I am going to try to deal for some land in the Reserve, thinking to write the contract up so that if I dont need the land, it goes back to the tribe....

perhaps write it up so my descendants can live there, and if we are not, its still Indigenously owned and controlled....

I think they would like that......

We shall see, my worker went back, and talked to them, and I will go back soon myself.....


I love the area, I want to live near the Mysterious Mountain, I want to eat Alligators Raw, and Build beautiful boats...... by the way, my boat designs are very “Neoindigenous”..... and I think once they catch on, everybody and their brother will want one for their yacht etc.


So.... I am about to neoindigenize myself even more!

The Great Grandfather liked my dream, that we all would return somewhat to the old ways, and somewhat keep the advanced technology too......

And I suspect anyone who has read my drivel this far also likes that dream....

and its a wide concept, with SPACE for us all....

So, no! I am NOT! interested in getting my old day job back...

And I do not regret having the guts to risk my life at sea for 73 days alone with a dog, to make my dream happen...

And if you have a dream, I recommend you do it, and quit fidgeting and being indecisive.....

Because it is that lack of us all pursuing our dreams and so continuing working for the BIG LIE that is causing the problems....

Grow up! Enough ! with the petty personal insecurity....

the worst that can happen is that you fail.... and have to try and try again, until you succeed!

Humans are by nature adventurers and explorers.... and generalists.... the best to come out of the Rancher's genetics labs so far, or we wouldn't be the lab rats of their big experiment as is laid out in the Bible and elsewhere....


Lets ACE the test.... no nuclear war, no plagues, no suffering....

Lets get our shit together as a species, and boggle them into having to respect us....

Imagine them showing up.... curious, why they haven't seen any Nuclear explosions going off...

And we are busy booting up elevators and building fleets of Smallships, and working on drive systems like Franklin Chang is, here in Costa Rica.....

Maybe they would help some?

So do get your shit together in your own life....

HONESTY, COURAGE, COMPASSION, HUMILITY.....

To hell with materialism and greed... those are dead-end motivations......


And do help get my PNEUMATIC ASENSORS concepts to Obama....

its a small planet... if I have a readership, then someone knows someone, who knows someone who is connected to Barak.....

just plain statistics....

So, help us please....

Help us great spirit......

Help us Help ourselves and help each other...

Boot up! Boat up!

Up & OUT!

Out of the gravity well, that traps us in a Malthusian reality...

Lets bust our way out of the box big-time!

And I was thinking this morning of how to build a balancing mechanism to lower the asensors..... got several quantum leap ideas that simplify the task....

how about using a YO-YO with two strings? One for the counterweight and thrusters going up, and one is the Pneumatic Asensor, going down....

Its a bit more complicated than that, the YO-YO needs two sides oppositionally geared together with that braking torque convertor, and the infinite variable sheave drive system...

And I think the thrusters need to be natural gas & air fired and the gas rates controlled by the rate of travel of the Asensor tube downward.... its a big balancing act.... a physical dichotomy pair......

I'm working on it.....

Please help!

And we can say;

We did it!


Anyway, I'm making soup this morning, left over hominy, beans, rice, Yucca....
Got my small pressure cooker full, and just put the rice in.... so food in 20 minutes or so...

The worker just finished weeding the corn and beans, not much work, due to the hoe planting technique..... we will take photos to show over on the Reserve, and he thought to do a small area at least for them over there in April.... When they see how it works, and they see the red corn for themselves, we wont need Salesmen to sell the idea to them...

Plus the technique is working so well, even here on this soil, that is eroded from being a cattle farm.... so we will soon be farming on two farms, and also be teaching all the locals, including the indigenous types what we have learned experimenting.....

Welcome to Village Earth.....


Later, my worker just left... tomorrow starts chopping in the citrus, on contract... I've been leaning things toward that, thinking he would soon be teaching English, and it looks like it will be handy for joining up with friends into other projects also.....

It will be fun to watch the Indigenous people's faces when they see the red corn.... it will be filtered twice from the yellow for the red genetics, and the seed is already very red.... we've been to this stage before, and know that if we can make this harvest, there are going to be some surprised folks when they see it.... its a very pretty corn.....

And its been hiding under their very noses.....

Thats the fun part.... pulling a red rabbit out of their yellow hat....

“Oh? You didn't know that rabbit was in there?”

I suspect I will get to see the Indigenous pride look in their eyes, and it should clinch my fame as a personage with the Boruca tribe....

And all of them will want to grow it for the Novelty if nothing else... meaning it will never be nearly extinct genetics again.....

And the Latin Ticos will like it too..... something they didn't know they had..... they are all into corn growing and corn as food ingredients, and soon more so....

Wont be long until I see red tortillas.... everywhere....

And the hoe gardening technique is going to spread rapidly.... its the nicest looking patch I've seen here in 13 years.... my worker grew up in a family that made all their income growing corn and beans, literally tons every year, 7,000 lbs of black beans the last year they lived in the mountains, done with nothing but machetes and sticks, and no corn sheller, all by hand....

And he groks what We have done with our little experiment..... a way to conserve the forest instead of slash and burn, and with much better results... burning has 80% of the fertility go up in smoke.....

Anyway.... going to see if I can trade some land for land, and spend at least part of the year on the reserve.... my worker says they want to bridge the river, its maybe 250 meters or more wide.... and I've had a cable bridge concept in my boxcar along with the BB, how to build a suspension bridge that doesn't sway by using the cables doing a parabolic shape into the arch thats also horizontal, i.e. The suspension and bridge deck all done in compound parabolas... and They have the lumber, and with 50 families or so the cable should show up economically.....

My main degree is in construction, I would love to design a very pretty bridge.....

And see how long before others copy it.....

I'll have to put my neoindigenous thinking cap on, and see if I can come up with a neoindigenous suspension bridge form.... one to Catch the eye of people on the Inter America Highway..... something distinct.... and get to see that look of pride in the eyes of the people...

Thats better pay to me, than money.....

Touching hearts with one's arts.....

Looking forward to going over there again.... my worker stopped to visit Great Grandfather, its his wife's Grandfather, and as I was, very pleased the stroke hadn't taken half of him away from us... “He's still all there!” is what he said.....

And he said Great Grandfather picked up his baby and talked to her, and played with her...
So my words helped.... His shame with the children is gone....

“Thank you Great Spirit for the little things most of all.”


The Giant Lima beans will do better in that micro-climate area, its much drier.... they try to rot in the pod during the wet season here.... it will mean year round food over there, and be another thing that catches on like wild fire...

There is a yearly Party coming up in Cu-rey another Indigenous village in that area, and we talked this morning about all going to it.... a friend of ours is from that village, a young guy from a humble family that was probably the best student in all of Costa Rica in high school...
I helped them on some English projects, the fun part, was we did it without the Professor knowing, and they (the guys) had a really good creative base idea going, and I gave it some polishing touches, and the teacher was totally astounded, gave them 100%, which he didn't do for anyone, and held it up as an example for all his hundreds of students... that was fun, to be secretly involved in, and to help the kids pull off a good project....

So.... we'll be able to show up at the party with a local son the people have pride in....

Maybe we will have some Lima bean seed to hand out..... I am a Pacific Northwest gardener you know.... nothing we like better, than sharing with friends and family things from our gardens.... and imagine being able to turn people on to year round beans.... they have never had that potential before... and follow it up with the Red corn? The Hoe garden area we have in yellow beans and corn is the size of a big garden in the US, done by one guy in a couple of weeks with a machete and a small hoe... What that means to me, is now, feeding ourselves isn't a problem, and the more people we get on hoe handles, the bigger the project ends up... my guess is a dozen people on hoes, for a single month, and the results could be all the bulk food for all the families involved for the entire year....

Its a hybrid technique....

But will conquer the local area with results... betcha within 5 years or so, it will be common in the area... fueled by the food crisis.... the Indians are starting to plant more ahead of the Latins, they have been at the bottom of the economic food chain, and therefore less caught up in it... and are reacting faster to it being in failure mode.... which I am very happy to see....

So helping them along at just the right time, should get some fun results.... and on something like the red corn, with 3 crops per year, it wont be long until everyone who wants it, has it going in quantities... corn has one of the higher multiplication factors, one seed makes a lot of grains on a couple ears per stalk... i.e. Hundreds, in comparison to wheat or rice doing a multiplication factor of around 50:1...........

I would guess corn at being around 500:1....... but reality would be less...

Meaning if we hand out say 10 lbs of seed, within 90 days there will be perhaps as much as 5000 lbs of seed in the area... meaning if we engineer the project just right, perhaps have it all over in the area with the Indigenous peoples in a single year? That would be mind boggling.....

Maybe we can grow a big patch in April, and have it to hand out at one of the indigenous celebrations? “Here.”

Give everybody a packet of seed, and borrow the microphone from the band for a couple of minutes to explain as we do.....

I'll have to check on prices of small envelopes at the stationary store....

“How much for a thousand of these?”

Barak wants to expand the Peach Core? Why wait? He didn't wait for inauguration, to start working.....SO! Why should we?

'Ain't in it for the money....

In it for the people... for the healthy and well fed kids..... who get better grades because of better diet, and end up with better lives....

Besides.... the Indians will be making “Chicha” (Wine/beer of either fruit or grains), and I could get a big silly grin drinking “Chicha Rosada” in a couple of years.....

Was thinking this morning of what the feminists are going to say if my blog ever grows legs..... Well, what would women think, if we never thanked them for all they do, and badmouthed them constantly, and made sure we only helped men at government and NGO levels, stole their children from them with statistical grossly unequal sole custody, and fostered absolute hate against them, at every opportunity?

Thats what they have been doing to us men, most of whom spend the majority of their lives doing things, to make life better, for women..... and their children.....

“Mal-agradecidos” in Spanish.... “Bad-Thankfuls”..... in other words; unappreciative....

So I dont care what they think... in fact, I hope what I say, makes them “Livid”....

Chicha Rosadas!

Fermented Pink.....

Anyway, getting cloudy..... got afternoon Cafe' water singing in the teapot...


Tuesday, December 30th 2008.....
Out of boughten food, self & dog munching coconut....

Feeling good, in spite of dog hunters at midnight....

My worker is on contract this morning, i.e. Piecework, meaning I'm freed up of keeping him at it... He told me yesterday, that he bought(?) a hoe for himself..... HA! A victory for me, I remember him giving me a lemon face when I first told him he needed to learn to use a hoe......

Now he realizes that doing the new technique is the way to garden here..... our hybrid neoindigenous farming style is paying good dividends, its very obvious that the corn and beans are doing really good on marginal soil due to Organic mulch and lack of competition...

Basically by chopping the area a while back, we got some organic material as mulch, which sprouted back from the roots like crazy, as is normal here..... then say 90 days later it gets seed broadcast and then chopped again, i.e. Divide and conquer, The second chopping, separated brush and its roots, and then hoed immediately, turning the seed under the mulch of old and new choppings, and also the hoed up roots separated from the soil, with dry season coming on, and so dying instantly, and also adding to the organic mulch material.....

What it means, is one can take an area, clear it, let the brush try to come back, clear it again with seed broadcast, hoe it once, and get staple food going good...

And when its harvest time, we will pick the corn and beans, chop the area with a machete, throw out the next seed, hoe it again, and plant some clover, and in another 90 days, another crop of corn, beans, etc., and with the manicillo clover, we can also throw out Tree beans/Grandul, a kind of chick pea, indigenous, that is a biannual, and better eating than beans in one's diet... and then clean around them to keep brush out of the manicillo, and in a year, next december, harvest them in larger areas..... and so get crop rotation, legumes, grains, etc., and grow rabbits of chickens on the clover......

So, turning staple crops into a form of semi-permaculture.....

And what it means to others, is if they move to somewhere with a similar climate, they can use similar techniques, and be eating home grown staples with in 90 days or so....

In northern climates, it would only work once a year, but could be used to turn a patch into corn and beans with clover, harvest the food, use the clover for animal husbandry, until the next spring, i.e. Manuring the soil, and then broadcast staple seed again, hoe it up, say late may or so..... and again more food...

No tiller, no spade, and very good return for the amount of labor.....

It would also work with wheat, if done in fall or spring..... with clover of course.....

Best get a good hoe..... and have it in your bug-out kit, or stashed in your camp area.....

Smith and Hawken used to carry good Japanese heavy hoes, about right size and strength....
The Chinese one I have is a 2 lb head.......

“Proto-Tiller!”

Years ago, in my early 20's, I tried growing wheat by spading areas, broadcasting seed and raking..... it worked fine of course, but my biggest realization, was with the northern hemisphere diet roughly 80% wheat based, it became really obvious to me that something was wrong with the technocult picture, as a man with a few tools, some decent soil, and a wife and kids, could put the staff of life in the grain bin with only a month or so of pleasant gardening work..... And it dawned on me, that we had been bilked into working 12 months a year by the system, and that if one could do one's staple crops in such short order, surely the other 11 months or so could be used to produce the rest of one's requirements, like firewood, clothing, housing, veggies, fruit, etc., as well as time and energy for crafts like blacksmithing and wood and leather working....

The technocult is an obvious screw job......

And most are working from December until May or June, Just paying Federal income tax....

I dont do that anymore... In fact its one of the reasons I am interested in moving on to the indigenous reserve, no property tax.... and if I grow my own food, which I would, I would end up paying zero taxes effectively.....

See where I am going? Legal non tax payer, and likely somewhat absolute about it....

Rewilding my self, one step at a time.....

I listened to short wave last night, heard some interesting rumors.....

One, that some kind of investment company did a study on the credit system and discovered that its working fine.... i.e. The credit crisis is a hoax, to create a panic to manipulate the people....

Also heard Troops soon on US streets..... due to coming social unrest due to said hoax....

Also heard that US is one year of total GNP in the hole.....

And the bailout of the banks is worth one years of the Whole Planet's Production....

And that about 10% of the bailout money is already missing, Swissed Cheese, didn't make it from point A to point B, got siphoned off....

What this all means folks, is you are being and have been totally Neo-niggerized......

Welcome to the Neo-slavery system Planet......

The whole Planet has been Niggering their whole lives, and are now a year in the hole to the plantation masters.... who are richer than ever.....

This isn't Taxation without Representation, this is “Niggerization without Viable Other Option.”

Well, there is the option of rewilding yourself.....

Got any balls? SLAVE!

Its like you have sold yourself into slavery, gambling with a crooked Mafia.....

Thats exactly what it is, and what has happened....

The house always wins.....


Anyway, enjoy your part in the big lie.....

I'm going Renegade, going to run off and live with the Indians..... Just like some of the younger Puritans did, before the strict workaholic (Control Freak) types built the “Gated Communities” (Read; “Stockades”) and Started wars against the Indians......

Indigenous folks have their Rights under UN law now.... I suppose having Guests of their choice could be considered one of them.....

Glad I have done my social homework, and have friends who are indigenous..... They could turn out to be handy people to have in one's social group..... And I will of course teach English, so they can work in tourism etc.

Anyway, another pretty morning here, full of munchy coconut, will go gather breadnuts later, going to live today on neoindigenous foods.....

If I do buy/lease a hunk in the reserve, I am thinking to keep it small, perhaps 5 acres or less, and use it to test some of what I have figured out on this farm, as a model Neoindigenous project, i.e. Do the yurt style structures, plant food and fruit, take fotos, and write about it here on this blog, and use it for a teaching aid to all......

Just how to live softly on the planet....

A Do-it-yourself guide?

Last night after the Hound hunters rudely woke me, I got a knife concept and luckily grabbed the notebook, and drew it....

Some history: my personal all time favorite boughten knife, is the Puma White Hunter.... Had one for years and lost it at sea...... I would love to have another, and consider it Star-Gate quality and design... (It had a new more politically correct name last time I saw one.)

But no way in hell to afford a knife that costs Several hundred dollars now......

But last night, the knife thought that hit me, was combining the Puma shape, with my hand Celt simplicity, and making perhaps the ultimate minimalistic survival knife.....

And I sketched out a nice line drawing.....

And so will be looking for a hunk of blade steel when I shop the Kitchen stores......

I know worse case, I can cut up a really nice Chinese cleaver, which I am hesitant to do,
so I will shop around, looking for good stainless in something less loveable.....

And the fun part is, the design looks to be a good thrower.... and with the simple rope wrap handle, would have nothing to break......

I've likely made a hundred knives in my life, just as a hobby.....

Some really nice stuff, I am a metal engraver......

But lately I am enjoying the Hand Celts, i.e. The absolute most simple designs possible....

Minimalism is incredibly powerful.....

Just like today, living on coconuts; nobody with a suit and tie around, to collect 40% of my cocos as taxes......

If there was, I'd be Milking Tercio Pelos, and dipping darts in the shit.....

Where I think I am going with the Celts, is putting together a bug out kit that will fit in a day pack.... One I can then put into a five gallon container with silicone around the lid, and bury.....

A Kit I can literally run with.....

And if I make it up the ramp, have all I really need....






“If someone is on your back, stand up!” (Martin Luther King Jr.)

The big lie is in fact dead... its in Zombie mode....

“And the Great Manipulators are going to learn about dichotomy pairs, and find themselves to have absolute control, over total chaos.....”

i.e. A zero sum game.....

Because that is how the universe in fact works.....

Hey! The dog just barked.... I went to see.... it was the first Osprey of the season.... they nest here, even on the farm.... What a nice Omen!.... Thank you great spirit....

Time to neoindigenize folks, while sea eagles still fly.....

One idea I had the other day, was to check on the legality locally of Alligator hunting/fishing... if its just the indigenous folks who can do it or what....

If its more open, maybe could start a little guide service with indigenous guides, and use it to control local populations, there are places here thick enough with them, to be very dangerous..... In the area of Cuidad Cortes, a town at the delta of Rio Terraba, the Moms cant let the kids play in the back yard, or they disappear...

That would be a fun one, Alligator fishing/hunting as a tourism industry, for those with guts and money....

“For a good time, call:”

I've been up close and personal with live ones, and they are about as evil in the eyes, as my ex-wife's Lawyer....

These are not soft and fuzzy things....

Its like giving snakes legs and lotsa teeth.....

Anyway, another pretty morning here.....

Later, working on a repair job, on Tarzan knife sheath...

got it about half done, not overly happy, but it will do until I find more leather and make a better one....

Took a break from the project, and took a bath, washed my hair, then a cup of cafe....

Skin is broken out, the holidays, first visited friends who fed me well.... lots of greasy food, then a trip to the border, ate some Ritz crackers and milk, i.e. More grease, then up the river and a couple of dead pig hunks, and my skin is about trashed.... will take another week to recover.... oil and grease allergy.... if I stay home and avoid all oils and greases, clears up....

Dont seem to have problems with the oil in coconuts.....

Anyway, will try to finish the repair on my sheath, rats sure ruined a pretty project....

But I will get it back to functionality...

Thats life in the Tropics, always something happening to something you cherish....

I feel sorry for the rest of you, owning so much, and with global warming and social disruption, due to lose almost or all of it fairly soon......

Its one of the reasons I find the thing on the reserve interesting, work more towards the basics, and likely give away a bunch of excess stuff....

If I had my life to do over, I would start with a very short list, and try to make it shorter...

Make it all fit into a pony cart or a boat.....

And keep the cart or boat as small as possible....

Life is a down hill trip, but even down hill, the less in your pack, and the lighter your step, and the less shit you scatter along the way.....

I was disturbed, listening to short wave last night, knowing that the chances of doing a turn around are better now that Bush and his 40 thieves are packing up, But there are things that Barak dont grok, Like the Palestinians, they will never settle for a Jewish screw job no matter how much icing on the shit cake....

Hamas? Not nice guys.... but they have plenty of political fuel to run on.....

And all because some control freaks didn't know what to do with a bunch of displaced people from one of their many wars for profit, and decided to play gods, and evict a few million other people from their homes, and replacing one problem with another.....

Me? I come along, and realize if we can open the sky, and seek other means, that fights over places on earth become moot......

The best part about travel, is leaving problems behind.....

Its like dogs with fleas.... fleas breed on dogs, and the eggs drop into the bedding... if the dog is a camping dog, and every couple weeks is somewhere else, the fleas get left behind, and hatch to no victim.......

Ditto for humans...

All kinds of parasites disappear in the rear view mirror....

And the majority of human parasites aren't Malaria, Worms, Fleas, or Ticks, they are other humans......

Lawyers, business types, Politicians, and many others who think they are god's gift to the planet.....

If one analyses specialization, there's always some poor fool doing the work, and an overburden of parasites with fancy names and arrogant attitudes.....

And one of the reasons I would like to play with a neoindigenous couple of acres project, is to see what it takes to get it where I can do it all myself.... The economy may collapse any minute, and I am fine for that where I am, but I would like to have less to worry about,
and could turn this farm over to my kids if I had things booted elsewhere......

I think I could do it on 5 acres no problem....

And when I was gone, it would all blend into the surrounding ambient, and only the animals benefit from the fruit etc.

Civilisation sucks.....

I also heard last night that the Majority of the Chinese population is beginning to have serious problems affording enough food... I heard on radio China a year or so back, wages were $30 a month in the countryside and $100 a month in the city..... for 16 hours a day and 28 days a month....

That doesn't leave much of a margin of error....

And with the Cigar smoking variety of Rats trashing the world economy, thinking military force can contain the results, is fairly stupid.......

I thought about the old Physics Science quandary; “What happens when an irresistible force strikes an immoveable object?”

The answer of course, is “Shit flies!”

And thats about what is going to happen soon...

Its also a known fact, that even superior military force can be defeated by an inferior force, if the inferior force has the element of surprise... meaning men with clubs or knives can kill soldiers with guns, and get their guns, and with a few guns, use surprise to get more and more.....

Meaning the Elite would be better never being born, than thinking they can protect themselves with military force....

And there are always factions.... ready to exploit any injustice for personal gain.......

There is a reason the balance scales are the universal symbol of Justice for humans.....

If things become unbalanced, no one is safe....

And Humanity has never been this unbalanced before.... and its getting worse.....

Terminal Arrogance......

And its obvious to me, that from Viet Nam to Afghanistan, the Elite have learned nothing, and forgotten nothing.... all they are doing is trading mass death for a little time...

And when the time is used up, they are next on the death list.....

Anyway..... it didn't have to go this way..... we could have been wiser, but we weren't....
And so.... security is most likely in the things I have written about... I suspect it will be business as usual, until we run out of usual to sell....

Things are going a bit un-usual.... and rapidly....


Wednesday, December 31st, 2008.....

Morning, sun just coming over the mountain, hitting the old solar panel.....

Verano sky this morning.....

Wandered over to the corn and beans this morning, growing like magic... the soil moisture seeping upwards through the clay is enough to keep things growing fine, while all else is starting to dry at the surface....


I was realizing the big picture on my little Cultural Engineering project, that it wasn't going to be long until longing and necessity had people adopting my techniques..... Like my worker being mulish with the project until he started seeing it was getting unusual results in the here and now, and ran out and bought himself a hoe.... and now has to come up with a handle, and a hunk of Cortesa to do it out of.... He could make the handle of one of any number of woods, but he has been cursed with seeing the handles I have been making from the best of woods, and cant stand having less for himself...... (Snicker!)

And so grows my concepts.... Can any of the rest of you stand making payments on a ranch style house, when you'd rather be gardening? Will some begin to think of an alternative dream? I suspect so.....

You dont need a house, you dont need a car...

you need a real life.....

And to get that you have to let go of a bunch of shit you have been brainwashed into wanting by the flashing box on the stand, and start getting your neoindigenous trip together, one piece, one step at a time......

Its like all the folks who follow the Grateful Dead around.... They were obviously bored with normalcy.... but other than following the Dead, like lost dogs, They should have been trying to figure out how to grow their own food, live without cars, and how to saddle a horse.....

Evidently they just hadn't figured that out yet......

New Dream time....

I have a little question in my mind.... If the adverse possession laws in the US apply to Federal and Corporate land? Because if they do, it would create some fun opportunities for people who liked earth sheltered neoindigenous housing, and gardens that blended in with the ambient.....

interesting question.... 7 years is not a long time to hide out, and garden, to get a nice Farmette.... you couldn't have much above ground, and would have to pop up like gophers and dive into your hole at the sound of aircraft etc. and all would have to stay camouflaged, with no dedicated arrival path etc., and all paths kept under the tree canopy.... Would be a fun game trying to hide from the infrared cameras, and the BLM workers, and Corporate slaves searching for you, but earth sheltering would eliminate the need for a fire at night etc.,

And over time one could have a nice life, starting with a single neoindigenous underground room... the first Kiva.......

And if you only used local and available materials, and didn't show up much in towns, there would be little in the way of metal to detect, and if the FEDS came you could run off, let them get their cookies trashing everything beautiful you had done, and as soon as they forgot you, go back and start over slightly off center from the old site, but still on it, for legal purposes....

And if we are going to have millions of homeless etc., it wouldn't be long until they figured out it was the sollutions they had been trashing, and begin to leave the millions doing it alone....

And if they aren't that smart, arrowheads dipped in Rattlesnake venom would help them figure out that trashing people's homes and gardens over a power trip wasn't a wise idea....

Escaping the big lie, is a war for personal survival.....

Neoindigenous Terrorists? Yea I can see it now.... What a proud vision!

They are starting to fill the streets with soldiers, another control trip.... I suggest we vacate the streets, and go Renegade.... do you suppose it would boggle them a bit? How long would it take them to figure out all those people in bus stations with strange camping gear and garden tools, headed out of the city, were going some where, and not coming back.....

and how long until all the landlords began having problems finding renters....

and how long before the first kiva had enough corn in it, you needed a second room to live in?

DIGGERS!

Like the North Viet Namese and their victory over the most technical and powerful army on the planet... they did it with tunnels and holes......

“Dig the tunnels deep, hide food everywhere.” (Mao Se Tung)

Its a big planet....'could be a bit difficult to round up millions of ex-cattle and re-fence them.... especially when they figured out where the real green pastures were, and quit being human sacrifices to the money gods.....

And kept escaping again and again.....

Its all there folks, all the pieces, from the shovel and hoe at the hardware store, to the plastic containers for the corn.... One could do underground stables too....

And with things like camouflaged solar panels, and plastic water pipe, all backpacked in for miles, life could get pretty good......

And they thought they had problems with Marijuana growers? Wait until its the Corn and Beans Renegades! Gee!? A couple dozen Apaches gave two armies hell for several years?


Sounds like the big adventure of our times folks.......

Dont get left behind......

Besides, underground houses, and kivas full of dry food, sure could be handy if the Greedheads insist on a nuclear war..... stock some water too, as your spring might go radioactive for awhile... or dig a well in one of the sub-subterranean rooms.....

I'd try to wall the holes in with stone and clay if possible, and maybe with some plastic sheeting behind that as a vapor barrier, and site my stuff on humps and ridges to avoid creeks in the living room when it rains....

Anyway, the hoe and machete gardening techniques may just apply to you.... sure is a simple way for a group of folks to grow bulk food simply and easily.... and in the scrub brush...

Mulch makes nice fertilizer, and the way we did it, by chopping once about 90 days before the seed broadcasting and second chopping and hoeing, left us with organic material already rotting from the first chopping, and then the second chopping and roots hoed up on top of the skiff of soil over the seed..... and I suspect the average family all armed with sharp hoes instead of dull video games, could do an acre or more no problem, especially if they started early, and developed techniques to take advantage of different crops for the encroaching seasons....

Nothing says you have to live on just corn and beans... the technique would work for Peas and Cabbages too....

Its related to the system in “One Straw Revolution”.........

only modified to the point it will work in other climates.......

And once you'd been over an area with the hoe several times, you'd have tilth enough for spuds etc.

One of the crops we are doing now, is the sweet potatoes.... and they were actually the first thing we did with the hoe technique.... I love sweet potatoes...

What we have in now, will give us seed to feed ourselves 100% within a year's time.....

Its been a long tough row to hoe.... farming with Tico Mules..... but I am about to piece the puzzle together for them also.....

The economic depression, caused by the civil war, led to the expansion into the west....

What do you spose this depression would do, if enough folks got the neoindigenous concepts?

Me? I am a nobody.... Gris Bosque is only my pen name, my “nom de guerre”....

Yup! I can see it now.... Neoindigenous Terrorists, armed with hoes and seeds.......

Do you suppose any of the TV zombies would realize something was wrong with the picture, when they saw FEDS busting people for growing food?

Anyway.... have a nice garden... dont make payments or pay taxes to anyone.....

By the way, one of the first mental seeds for my writings, came from seeing the Neoindigenous building in Yakama Washington... done by the Yakima tribe, as a community center I think... the neo part is a bit 60ish for my Architectural tastes, but for its time, it was way ahead of the rest of us, and is quite a large structure, Those people must have some serious amounts of “Tribe Energy” to have pulled that one off..... good job guys! Do more!

Neoindigenism can be worked at from both ends.... and we can get to the balance point, and meet up for the big party, all the sooner.....

Anyway, I filled up on toasted breadnuts and fresh coconut at daylight.... its warming up, so a bath at the spring soon.....

Neoindigenism, what a concept.....

And the indigenous folks like it... lets do it in a respectful way... all the real 'Bliss Ninnies” will keep following the Grateful Dead and Fish.... and run out of gas somewhere along the highway, miles from the nearest city, and notice a trail off through the brush and into a canyon.....

And hear an acoustic guitar, and people singing gently as the sun goes down.....

Out here? Who would live out here?





Later.....

Did a bath, felt good...

Snickering about my worker, he's now involved in three gardening projects in three locations, and will be using my techniques on all of them.... the one with his in-laws over on the reserve will cause my stuff to spread there too... I am thinking if I can get a hunk of land, to spend the wet seasons there, as I like a drier climate, and come here for the dry seasons....

If we do OK on the red corn, I will take seed over and give to my indigenous friends, the ones who I gave the talk to about it... also will give it to others..... and being unusual and also corn, which everybody loves, chances are good it will take hold with them....

Plus we will show them fotos of the hoe gardens, and likely do an example, and soon have the hardware stores selling out on hoes, to the Indians.......

What I have done, is come full circle with agriculture, back to its roots of knife and hoe.....

I used to want a Troybilt.... now I dont need one.... but now with the techniques into reality, and cheap labor and a shortage of food, and me and my friends; Americans, Latins, and Indians, all having plenty of sunny land, we will probably do OK.......

By returning to the knife and hoe, instead of the spade or the rototiller or plow, we have arrived at a system that will allow people to grow more and better food with less work, and no day job.....

Children can go to school now with a solar panel and a laptop....

Meaning one of the two major reasons for the demise of the counterculture is gone.... and the other being vehicles? I think even morons can see where those are going.... Dinocars....


Another idea I would like to seed the Indian folk with, would be to reopen their old trail systems between the tribes, and maybe with government help, a program of jobs doing so, and come up with something like the Pacific Crest Trail or Appalachia trail in the US....

It would help tourism a great deal here..... and be a nice way to get from point A to Point B for the rest of us too.... Its 60 km over to the reserve.... three long days on a horse.... camping? I love camping!

And we have spent some time on the farm doing trail systems....

And I will seed the tribe with other ideas.... already have involuntarily.... I loaned my Foxfire book, the one on weaving to some Borucas... They are really into weaving.... never saw it again, so I assume its still making the rounds over there.....

But I want to build some looms.... and know if I ask about wood, and mention its for a loom, pretty soon they will be copying my loom.....

And I do like to design prototypes......

Pretty ones.....

And if I upgrade their looms, I can probably upgrade their cotton supply....

And do my own version of Gandhi's spinning wheel?

Do you see where I am heading?

Cultural Engineering..... Point A to Point B, and point B, being a better life for all of us....

Take what is good and right out of the human reality, and use it to form something better than what we see now....

To do that, we have to collectively see the new dream, and see ourselves in it...

and remove butt from couch.....

The best thing you get from watching TV, is a sore backside.....

Have you seen enough “Shit-calms” yet?

Wake up! Rainbow Niggers! And De-Niggerize yourselves....

Get a Hoe! Take her camping......




Later... did a second bath... also sipping a cup of cafe.... incredibly nice day, balmy breeze,
and tomorrow a new year....

I'm Happy for my neoindigenous successes....

Was drawing more hand Celt style knives...... its a nice medium... I've seen them for years in knife catalogs, usually done in styles that dont strike me..... most often modern knives take on the “Alligator Hunter/Rambo/Terminator” attitude in their sizes and styles, and I like things that are practical and pretty, rather than Hormonally Stupid, and so geared for guys with Steroids and Testosterone, where their conciousness should be.....

Lunker knives?

I think they need sex more often, and fewer movies....

Too much TV, too many hormones.....

Anyway, I like knives that are simplistic, and the Celts having no handles etc., allow being thrown, which makes them a hunting tool.... I suspect when I finally arrive on internet I will be looking for knife steels.....

My Modem/phone, is 'sposed to be in the mail..... I think my son timed the Christmas rush perfectly....

We will see if that helps it get past the Rats or not....

I hope so.... I have been waiting 10 years.....

Even my worker the other day was commenting on how I have waited..... got a modem through once.... the wrong one..

I hear the Costa Rican Government is trying to negotiate a free trade agreement with Panama, but only at the wholesale level, so the rich can continue to screw their own poor people....

And these are the guys who are supposed to be making laws for the benefit of all?

Do you think its much different anywhere else?

The big lie isn't really working for you, you just think it is....

And the little truth, that you dont need it, is like a small virus in a big Dinosaur....

There is more than enough information in this blog to free yourselves.....

Point your browser in your heart at the Desire Freedom Link, and click on it....

The most powerful thing I have taught, is that all it takes is making the decision to use the neoindigenous philosophy, and just start inclining everything you do that direction....

Its a wee little decision.... and much like trading baseball cards...

Trade what you have too much of, for what is more valuable, and that you dont have...

See all that crap in the garage? How much of it could yardsale into neoindigenous items?

And how much of it is already neoindigenous gear?

Some guys are lucky....

They are bow-hunters, or rifle hunters, or gardeners, or like making things.... Their garages have a high ratio of Potential Neoindigenism......

Some play golf, and collect Ties....

They have a low ratio of Neoindigenism.... also low odds of surviving whats coming....

Yup! All those boy toys, like fishing gear, hunting stuff, garden tools, were connected into the cerebral cortex at the Lizard brain level.... and there was a reason for that....

Thats the survival level stupid!

And maybe it all looked silly to some.....

But it will soon start looking less and less silly.....

Imagine one of our Golfer/Lawyer types...

When the shit hits, his Neoindigenous reality is going to be made up of extremes....

No food, no preparedness.... He'll have to evolve his golf clubs, into Neanderthal clubs..... But who knows, maybe all those ties will come in handy, he can make G-strings out of them for his gonads, when he rips out all his suits trying to run in them, and throws his slick shoes away after the blisters infect and rot.......

I can see it now; wheeling his survival golf cart across the plains, Gonads well girded with Red ties and blue ties, and every once in awhile he sees a rabbit, or a pack rat, and runs off chasing it with his 5 Iron.... great for rattlesnakes.... and you can cook with them too! Just tie the snake into a knot around the shaft!

How long until the ties evolve into lizard and snake skin G-strings? And soon the golf cart sports a primitive umbrella, and a few crude spears....... and eventually a long bow.....


Do you suppose he will look up to see some Mountain Man type ride past with a string of pack horses? Hawken well charged, bow and arrows for backup.... maybe an indigenous woman and a baby on one of the horses.... Gee? They look well fed... and our lawyer wonders where they are going...... Little does he know there is a neoindigenous Rendezvous up ahead, where all the neoindigenous types have come to trade stuff, excesses.....



Later, my worker showed up, brought me cafe', candles, and corn flour.... he was in a good mood, things going good, working on three projects.... all growing food, with 3 different folks..... he sees now how the hoeing techniques work, and will use them....

He also let me know something I didn't know here on my own farm... I asked him to multiply the Papa Chilicanas, a spud food that grows a beautiful vine... I would suspect its something from Polynesia, and looking forward to internet so I can find out the normal name...

Any way, come to find out, he has been multiplying it, and we have several terraces coming up in the shit now.... Plus we planted more, on terraces here by the house site......

We will be multiplying again..... meaning again, only one year away from another staple crop....

So on that I am farther ahead than I knew....

The fun part is knowing that stuff we do has spill over into the community.... they see us doing it, and they are petty Greedheads who think the supermarket is better than a garden...

Well it was....

kinda.... with their way of growing food... which wasn't all that sure....

And even the worker is seeing how the one time through with the hoe at the get-go just trashes the brush...... & what a soft way to do agriculture....

Brush patch, soon; = Food patch.......

And its been laid out here for you....

I should really be working for the peace corps as a trainer of volunteers.... who knows maybe someone from there will hear about my work......

I could use the meager wage, and the ability to multiply the effects of what I teach on agriculture...

I've lived really poor for a long time... but I spent the time, thinking really good.....

And the things I thought up, are from how to build a better Asensor, to how to grow more food with less damage to the environment....

Not likely to get the Nobel Prize..... Too Opinionated and controversial for that.... but to me its not Laurels that count, its getting good results, and solving problems, and making healthy & happy kids, and parents who are thankful to the great spirit that their kids have food, and have a decent future....

The current status quo is conceptually bankrupt..... Obama is part of a rising new Paradigm.....

The first rays of light in the utter darkness of the recent past.....

If only there is enough time......





And enough people who figure out that egocentric thinking is dead end thinking....

If you want a better village, become a better neighbor....

All of the Great Teachers taught the same basic course.....

All of them taught various means to conquer egocentric thinking...

And now that the big Final Test is coming over the Horizon, dont you think its time to maybe start applying some of the teachings?


Survival depends on many things... one of them, is how well your group functions....

Groups only function really well, when self centered thinking is abnormal in the group.....

Egocentric individuals have a much less chance of survival than members of a Right-thinking group......

Cooperation 101.......

is passed, by supressing egocentric thinking within the self....

Cooperation is one of the survival culture courses at the university of life.....

And if enough people figure it out soon enough, we can change course, and ace the test.....

And then when the Ranchers showed up, we could say:

“Finally! 'been waiting for you, can you show us better drive systems, that we can build with what we have? We have the hulls up, fleets of them, and we want to go exploring, and gardening other Stars and other planets.....”

And that is also their promise in the bible, that if we get our shit together, they will help us get to other stars and other planets....

Sounds good to me......

You are either with us, or on the road to extinction... choose now.....


For the last ten years, I have taught my worker all the stuff he will need to do contract working in food operations, from the human psychology, to the soil/mineral realities, to the business sense....

And I told him, and anyone else who would listen, what was coming.....

Well its here now.....

And if there is enough time, a couple of years, I will improve slightly, everyone in my area's chances of survival....

Its why I give the bus sermons.....

Against the times, against all odds.... against ego and human stupidity....

Because its the best I can do personally.....

And because its fun to have a “Right” hobby.....

I'm going to give the Indians their Red Corn back, so lost, they and everyone else has forgotten it......

Do you suppose I will be welcome on the reserve 5 years from now?

Eat a few Red Tamales & Tortillas... drink some Chicha Rosada, dance with some pretty ladies....

The other day, at Great Grandfather's, had to go past the women... and his wife was kind of in the path... our eyes met.... and I just had to give a woman I hardly know, a nice hug....

Because her eyes told me she was a really good person....

And besides, I think she is one of the prettiest great grandmothers I have ever seen....

Yea! So eat your hearts out! You Rainbow niggers! Who dream of freedom, but haven't the guts to make that one small decision... to decide to take the Path the great spirit would have us all take.....

Anyway, the reason I taught my worker all the stuff, is because contracts will evolve into teachings....

Nothing like success to get people to copy one......



Later, ate, hot cereal, from corn flour and chili peppers....

My worker made a comment and was laughing today.... seems the village is getting more and more of the buckskin pack ponies with the ray down the back.....

What happened, is when I first came here, I noticed the local horses were some real culls....

And after being here a year or two I figured out why a culture with a real focus on horses bred culls......


What was happening was Latin egocentricity at work, the men would spend big money, sometimes thousands of dollars, on a stud..... but these are Latins, and 99% of their motivations are in trying to look good.... so they would ride their new stud a few times, and get pissed because it was so hard to handle.... and castrate it, because it worked for them, they could still ride around on a showy horse....

Leaving what few culls there were as studs to breed... horses with no spunk.....

And so the whole zone, mostly culls......

Once I figured out the problem, it didn't take long to figure out the potentials.....

And I happened into a really good buckskin pack pony, a small stud... I mean really good....
Locally famous for Cori Cinta, the local horse sport, next, after just looking good....

And I realized if I left it “Entero” and always loaned it out for breeding, in time, I could take the initiative on the local genetics......

I didn't have any money for a fancy big stud...

Not like the Latins with their Cattle and Palm farms....

The Pony was glad to help every chance he got.... including plenty with out the mare's owners knowing “Who Dunnit”.... Even my asshole neighbor, this very year, got a big mare, and planned to breed her to a big stud.... Well my worker was riding by, on the son of the original stud pony, who is actually a better horse than his father.....

Horse acts up, he jumps out of the saddle, horsey good time follows, ahhh! Content pony, back in the saddle and on we go....

Asshole neighbor doesn't know his mare is PG.....

And when it pops, we'll make him an offer, not worth much, a runt, but our runt.....

And good little pack ponies are the most useful of horses.....

People didn't just have them for kids.... for thousands of years they have existed side by side with full sized horses....... and often survived where the big ones died.....

anyway to extend a good story line, my worker was laughing today because the genetics is starting to be all over the village... and one other good neighbor has a little male....

So he's going to tell the guy not to castrate it, that these are gentle... and that it will reduce the horse's strength if he does... and also tell him about the asshole neighbor's big mare.... Same asshole neighbor as who has run his pigs into good neighbor's beans........

And tell the good neighbor, who is fairly new here, about Gris's plan for local pack ponies....

The guy has a good sense of humor... and will like the plan... soon another pony stud.....
See where I am going with this one? Well almost... its an “up the ramp” plan....

These local horses haven't been pampered.... not even hoof cleaning in this culture... I brought the first hoof nippers and hoof knives into the area... and anytime a horse had a problem, it didn't go to the vet... it went to the butcher's....

In an area that Vets should have to come to to do their doctorate... every disease, every parasite, every problem... all here, and as common as dog shit, in central park.....

Stuff many vets in the north have only read about..... and only those tough enough, live to breeding age....

So what I have, is a little project, in operation, to establish a race of really good pack ponies,
while letting others feed them, use them, own them, and eat them....

But pretty soon horses will have some serious value... “Gentlemen, turn off your engines.!”

And soon people will want pack ponies.... and the village will have really good ones.......

And prices will rise, they are already, and with higher prices come higher perceptual values, and they will get better care....

And when the ramp thumps down...... I will have some pack ponies to go up it.....

Thanks to a bunch of self centered “Lujoso” Latins......

Its why the Spanish cultures have such fancy clothes for the males.... They are Pretty Roosters!

And thats about all..... “Gallos Finos”....

Anyway, if you are driving down the Pan American highway, and you start seeing little buckskin pack ponies.... you are getting close......

Old Mac Donald had a farm! E I E I O!



I have another good one for you.... my worker is quiet.... like really quiet..... and today he told me he was training his new dog with hand-signs..... That way he didn't have to say anything.... and his uncle noticed.... Ticos dont train dogs, not unless a kick and “HUEY PUTA!” constitute training....

And this kid has a dog responding to hand signals...

He learned it from me, my dog knows 20 words, and a few hand signals.....

Who needs the words eh?


Tweaked the Uncle good.....

Anyway, its sometimes fun being the town gringo.....


Thursday, January 1st, 2009...

morning.....

I consider things like Calendar systems, to be arbitrary, and so dont get too excited about new years, so I wasn't shooting off fireworks, or watching TV last night, like the Yahoos....

But I love fireworks, being social for any excuse, and music etc., so there is another side to my worthless opinionated point of view....


But I slept peacefully into the new year.....

to me the question of the Mayan Calendar is more interesting than singing Auld ang sighn...

Did listen to short wave last night, and picked up Steve Quayle's Q-files program for the first time in months, Steve is a Rabid Christian born again, on Christian radio, but he is also aware of Genesis 6, and what it means.....

Last night's program was some body else filling in.... this time a rabid Israel supporter...

Who bad mouthed the Muslims profusely, and beat all around the bush with never a mention of why the Palestinians are so upset and uncooperative.... i.e. That millions of them were booted from their ancestral homes and lands by military force, and replaced with some very arrogant Money Lenders and Traveling Merchants, who happen to be their distant cousins genetically, that they ran off a couple thousand years ago, and have lived fine without, every since....

Might does not make right.....

mostly it creates more and worse problems...

Which is why all the great teachers warn against it's use....


Anyway, the Middle East could go Ballistic Missiles any second, I think not immediately, but only because those who have the guts to launch, lack the type of warheads they would like to Gift the Jews with.....

And its only a matter of time until they get those warheads somehow....

And considering the chances of the Jews getting wise, are effectively zero, do get your entrenching tool sharp, and ready to dig yourself a hole to hang out in....

Does Israel have a right to exist? Sure, just not there on that spot....

Considering all the problems the Jews have created over thousands of years of human history, I think the correct place for them to put New Jerusalem, would would be Antarctica....

It would give them something to do with their money; pay the heating bill.....

And give the rest of us a less volatile planet to live on....

And its not too late.... they can pack up and leave, just like they came....

But when the Nukes fly, yes, then it would be too late... and surely a sad passing to kill a third of humanity over where the Jews get to sit their butts....

And if humanity lets that happen, well I guess things would have taken their course, and human stupidity would be diminished via having less humans, and the Jewish problem would also be diminished.... via less Jews.... Making Hitler's Ghost in hell much happier.....

Me? I would be happier, if we got wise, and nobody died...

There are a hundred Palestinians being killed for every Jew being killed.... to me that says something.....

A, the Jews are total assholes, and B the Palestinians have more Guts than brains or Weapons....

But I also suspect the first minute they can launch nukes, they will do so, and gladly....
you cannot threaten a people with death who are not afraid to die, and the Palestinians have been put into the position of life pretty much not being worth living......

Its a powder keg...

it will explode...

Just a matter of time...

and my only question, is will that happen first, or will the mega-quake mentioned repeatedly in the bible, that could be the result of Global Warming, happen first, and make the Israel/Palestine thing a moot point?

We shall see.....

I would suspect the quake will happen first.... but I could be wrong.....

And to me, other than the human suffering, and trashing the planet, I couldn't care less about the issue.... Humans are incurable assholes, with not a one, deserving of what they have...

But thats external.... and our only hope, is internal, reducing our own asshole factor however possible...

I suspect this too will be reduced by reducing the number of humans.....

Such a shame.... when it all could be prevented via reducing self centered egocentric thinking habits.....

Oh! Well! Adios!

Anyway, I'm not anti-semitic, I'm anti-stupid.....

And if anyone who calls me anti-semitic, I will assume they lack a logical base to support their opinions.....

So... another beautiful day in paradise Central America... so nice that the worlds major problems are mostly at HF radio's length away....

If I could leave the planet, up the ramp, with some guys with good sense, I would do so...

And leave the rest of you to bicker over bullshit......

I've discovered I can get by fine on very little, and be the happier for it.....

I dont need to set my butt in Israel and get my way, and rip off other people, to continue to feed my vanity....

I would call those types; “Terminal Genetics”......

Anyway, home alone today.... and happy that way.....

I watered the Peppers and Tomatoes with the bucket at dawn, did a few other minor
chore-like acts, and now am wasting time blogging, while waiting for the day to heat up enough to go take a bath down in the spring, wash a few dishes, feed self and dog, and maybe find some hobby stuff to keep me busy and happy.....

The only thing the pro-Israel fanatic had to say that was interesting, was that he expected the “Aliens” to reveal themselves fairly soon.... i.e. He groks Genesis 6 too.....

I thought it entertaining, that he and I would be diametrically opposed on most issues, but on that one have some agreement..... yes, I do think aliens are involved, and heavily, but I dont know anything for certain, all I know, is having my personal shit in order, prepared for any and all eventualities is the best path, and all the stuff on internet and short wave are to me speculation and entertainment, and I will stick with my neoindigenous concepts as a guide out of Lost Caverns.....

Are those radical concepts? For sure, ask any boyscout... “Do you think Preparedness is a subversive mindset?” or “What do you think of learning indigenous skills?”

And the Jews themselves were commanded by their own God, to observe Passover, and so be mentally prepared to vacate and migrate at a moment's notice....

Hey guys.... the Greedheads are about to trash the fucking planet.... And it doesn't matter what your job title is, if you dont have a hole to hunker in, you'd better get digging one.......

And be ready to pop out of it like a rabbit, if the quake comes first.....

I worked last night on a Tri-marang design... i.e. Three winged boomerang design... I've seen them in plastic before as toys... and playing with my own design as something to do.....

I like what I came up with, and see I could adapt some aspects to a more simple two foil boomerang, and have an actual improvement over the traditional model....

And thats not easy to do....

But, my mind likes mental chewing gum.....

And designing to absolutes are great chewing, in any area of designing flavor....

Its why I like taoism, hand Celts, and minimal survival items lists etc., I have discovered the power of absolutes as mental entertainment....

Not to mention the survival value of absolute minimalism.....


Without a job, normal life, etc. I dont have shit to do, except think, or anything else I decide I want to do.... freedom is like that....

Also thinking about my steel bow project, soon a bit of money in the account, and so can afford some generator gas, and cut the spring steel up and begin the project?

A nice thin longbow, thats take-down, with steel limbs, and Cortesa riser, and stainless bolts to hold it together.... thinking to maybe go fine steel cable for the string, for the same reason as steel limbs, durability factor..... I have several rolls of Dacron, but steel cable would make a nice experimental string....

And I could keep the diameter down, and get a fast flight effect.....

I'm getting' real Neo on my indigenous toys here.... but why not?

If I can come up with a bow with better survival characteristics from shit I have or can get, it would make a fun project, and something to boggle my friends with, not to mention up the ramp/stargate gear.....

And if down the road, I can get some stainless or T-series aluminum, new limbs?

Until then, I can just paint the steel ones, like on the crossbow....

I figure if I do the limbs narrow, it wont weigh all that much, no more than the prod/limbs of the crossbow.... and overall, it would weigh less... and make a nice Pack-mate for the crossbow in my kit....

Who knows, I may have to run up that ramp with what I can pack personally... I hope not, I hope our alien friends dont have a tight schedule, and I hope their drive system can support some colonist baggage.... but if necessary, I think it fun and wise to have my kit so ordered...

Its something to do, keeps my head happy dog, and results in fun toys for my preparedness hobby.... not to mention one of a kind on planet crafts items, not to mention something to photograph for this blog......

I'm hoping to have my modem soon, and be able to send an email to open office, with an example of my photograph problem, and get it fixed....

We shall see... if said modem makes it past the postal rats.....

Its not like I can just afford another one.....

Funny thing about humans, they will even steal from people much poorer than themselves...

In fact thats what the big lie does best....

“Taking from those who have too little, and giving to those who already have too much” (Tao)

Why steal from poor people? Because they are the best victims, there are always plenty of them thanks to so much stealing...

One of these days, maybe people will figure it out..... like when they are starving....

And we will have another “Guillotine Fest”...... and filter the human genome a tich for Greedheads.......

I suspect we will just off ourselves with things like global warming effects, and miss the big party at city center.....

And the rich will get turned into ground beef in their Ivory towers....

And poor people like me, will crawl out from under our shanty houses, and life will go on better after that.....

Funny how the universe is put together, humility being a prime survival trait....

And Wealth acting as a magnet for disaster......

Go Ahead..... Steal all you want.....

“He who has much, will experience great loss.” (TAO)

Big home, lotsa gold, ammo, food, weapons......

When they plug the ventilators on your bunker with cement, how much will it all be worth?

Not as much as my freedom....

I dont even get too excited about the nuclear war thing.... I Have my e-tool... and unless one goes off in my lap, will have time to begin Gophering....

Thats what being away from ground zero and being free on the planet's surface, and away from the throngs of humanity does for you.... they are all survival aspects......

Wealth and power are not a form of security... in fact they are almost absolute insecurity....

and no matter what your head trip is, it doesn't change that reality.....

So minds that quest for security in the form of wealth and power, are aberrant minds..

Sick....

As are those who envy them....

Get well soon!

Or Else!

I think I will continue my neoindigenous quest... its a quest for balance....

Besides, I get more carrot and less stick, not pulling the cart for them....





“The Maze starts here.”

Being ahead of the curve, is somewhat like sitting on the handle bars of the treadmill....

It doesn't often get you anywhere either, but at least you aren't sweating....

Its like the neoindigenous thing, you boomerang out in this big circle, and in time will have to return to concept....

Usually when I grok up a concept, there is a reason that I did so.....

Generally its a reason most have a very hard time grasping...

And generally its the same reason over and over....

For me, Its like exploring a cave with a group of mentally retarded people, and only one flashlight.... and the MR people keep insisting on running off in the dark, down side passages, hitting their heads on protrusions, falling into holes and shafts, and then coming back to the flashlight guy, all bloody about the head and body....

“This way, guys.”

The reason, is because I can see the way forward for the group, and they are too stupid to realize the side passages (People love to be sidetracked. Tao) of egocentric thinking, just never work in the long run....

Knowing where the exit is, and having a flashlight, are thankless jobs, if you are guiding average morons.... and above average morons, are better, but not enough, to mean much...

I just wince at the blood and bruises and missing patches of skin and hair, and go on, its all I can do....

Next time maybe they will listen better, when I ask them to bring their own flashlights?

Naw.....

They are what they are.....

Anyway.... nice day here outside my cave....

You'd never know the Jews were trying really hard to give the Muslims a reason to build nukes....

You'd never know that there was going to be a Mega-Quake sooner or later....

Or war, famine, plague, and eventually alien arrival...

business as usual... the old downhill wagon overloaded with assholes singing political songs....

Me? just waiting to hear the songs turn into screams....

And then watch the Vultures change course.....

With my friends, maybe it would help, if I labeled all my concepts; “Cave Exits”?

So far it hasn't....

This way guys.....



Morning

Friday, January 2nd, 2009....

Sun just hitting the panel....

I've been waiting to be able to write.....

Listened to shortwave last night... nothing very good on, did hear one call-in and a guy complaining about the new world order types and how they want to tax everything...

Yup! Thats all they know; fuck the little people even harder, and call it an improvement.....

Well, most improvements aren't, and it isn't a lack of taxes causing the problems, its an excess of useless fat pigs at the Elite level....

Its like this Time Magazine I use for splattering flies, March 08, and one of the captions is:

“The defining challenge of the 21st century will be to face the reality that humanity shares a common fate on a crowded planet.”

I disagree....

The defining challenge will be to get the status quo off common man's back, and eliminate all their games that are causing people to literally die of starvation while they pretend to do something at the big “Talk-talks”.....

There is no crowded planet.... there is humanity crowded into cities, some 2% of the planet's surface area, but thats artificial crowding, and is the result of economic and control games, and results in humanity working at factories making shit we really dont need, and not enough folks out in the garden feeding themselves......

We dont have a food crisis, we have an organizational crisis.....

I once calculated that with just Yucca/Cassava, that an area the size of central america, which is fairly small, would starch the whole fucking planet's diet no problem....

What we have is an elite that cant think outside the box.... no imagination, and not able to realize that we aren't stuck on the planet, and its not crowded, and we dont share a common fate, because after they get lynched, people can go back to growing food, for themselves, instead of working for the assholes.....

i.e. Two distinct fates....

Actually myriad distinct fates..... as some will be carpenters and others blacksmiths etc.

And yea, the redneck calling in was right, tax, tax, tax.....

For our own good of course... with all the wealth going into the black hole of Elite class vanity....

Ah! the games people play.......

Marie Antoinette didn't have nuthin' on “our” Nobility...


Anyway, good luck Barak! But I hope you dont mind if I find ways to avoid supporting the system, and use my abilities to help common folk instead...

Common folk are total assholes too, but they dont suck like the big parasites.....

Anyway, feeling feisty this morning..... also heard last night some commentary about the NSA, and them keeping dossiers on everyone and profiling all of us......

Hey guys! I can help! Look in my dossier in your file, bring the overall profile up, and if its got this asshole with a big grin, and flipping you off with both fingers, you've got me profiled fairly well....


Fuck you! Read my emails, listen in on my phone calls, stick your nose up my butt, but keep the fuck away from me... or else!

“Do not bother them in their homes, or work, or they may tire of you.” (Tao)

Those people dont have anything better to do than be busy bodies, and terrorism wouldn't exist, without them causing it with the imbalances they create with their stupid games.....

Terrorism, is their executioners en route...

No such thing as a terrorist... Just this or that group of assholes trying this or that power trip...

You take Sally, I'll take Sue, ain't no difference between the two.....


Anyway.... it will all be over shortly.... some how some body will set it all off...

Because the stuffed shirts haven't enough brains to look in the mirror for the cause of the problems....

Had a couple of locals show up last night for a visit, young guys, friends, showed them the area planted with the hoeing technique..... That got their attention.... no weeds... corn, beans, doing fine.... I explained it all... and they grokked.... both have been involved in local style machete agriculture, one of them helped his dad grow beans on land I loaned them to do so....

They no doubt went home, and had the house women ask what Gris was up to....

“Oh he's growing really nice beans and corn with a new technique..”

Food?! Women really grok food...

Especially now, that they aren't getting as much, and all the money is being pumped into banks and companies, and governments that caused the problems.....


They will ask.... and they will spread the Rumor......

Meaning people will be primed for my next bus sermon.....

Hungry agriculture students......

I'd better get another hoe.... tell the sermon on the way home.... there could be a run on hoes in the local hardware stores.....

Basically I have come up with a way they didn't realize to use the empty lot next to their house, and grow all the food they need on it, with very little labor....

We are talking about people who think you have to hike up into the mountains, and chop down the woods, to grow bulk food.... thats a lot of work..... sure they plant stuff around the house, and people do hire tractors to plow in the valley so they can plant rice or corn for the family, but there isn't much of that..... I have also planted the concept of community gardens with the women........ it will be interesting to see what happens as food prices rise and un-availability begins........


Really folks, even people in the first world who garden dont get it about the bulk foods, they tend to grow veggies etc. but nobody is growing their own bread.....

And if bread or rice or whatever is 80% of one's diet, the garden is missing something....

I came to Central America for Food and Water security.... and if the collapse of Civilisation comes slow enough, Here at the edge of the empire, we will hardly notice... maybe even throw a party?

I suspect the bible is right, that a mega quake will take out most of humanity.... if that happens, the survivors will be mostly people outside the cities, and living in lighter weight structures...

The survivors will have access to land... all those Lawyers etc. in the city who have bought up large tracts of land, will be dead meat.... and so no shortage, for the survivors....

If it all happens slow enough, this food crisis could at least have more growing going on, and when the shit hits, there would be seed.....

Many will think nothing of my hoeing technique description... Hoe-hum......

But the beauty of it is the ability to start with an area with zero improvements, and get a good crop first time out......

And not a doubt in my mind, it is nothing but a full-circle return to the origin of human agriculture..... This has to be how it was done, as soon as people figured out how to make a hoe out of a woods bison's hip bone, attached to a wooden handle with dried rawhide....

“Hey Cave Woman, come see how this works!”

Soon, Fat Cave Woman.....

And all the Thin Cave women down at the river got jealous.....

So began Civilisation.....


Anyway, moral of the story, is dont forget to find and buy a good serious hoe.....

Not the cheesy normal garden weeding hoe.... its to follow rototillers with....

When the shit hits, Rototillers will become something to set a bird bath on..... no fuel.....

But a good stout hoe, is going to be worth having...

Better garden workers, color is not important....

I was dinking around with my refugee kit last night.... moving stuff... If I can, I'm going to find another slightly larger camouflage pack, that will fit on my neoindigenous wooden frame,
and re-organize everything, so I can strap on the big pack, and drag the smaller one....

thinking to strap an axe, the Chinese hoe, and my e-tool to said wooden pack frame...

This would allow me to live in the woods pretty good, likely dig a hole, lay poles over it, and do a garden out front.... Hobbit heaven....

I dont expect to have to move... but being prepared to do so is really wise.....

And I love the hobby.... as do many men... I remember 25 years ago going to visit my friend, and he was installing boxes in his Land Cruiser, for camping and survival gear...

Guys are like that, at least where I come from, no golf clubs in my peer group....

Plenty of hunters and fishermen.... almost all are gardeners.....

No Lawyers..... I wonder why? Probably because we were all raised in a culture of honesty in Rural Oregon?

Here's another quote from the Time Magazine;

“Sustainable development will not break the bank. The key is to make the right choices in our Public investments and to find ways to harness, and channel, market forces.”

Break the Bank? How bout we all just Nigger forever to keep banks “healthy” to own us slaves?

Public investments? These are obviously drones talking.... I suspect public investment means giving back a little of the tax money? Not too much! The workers are useless eaters! Harness and channel market forces? I think that means raise prices on the food the workers grow, until they cant afford it anymore, and give all the money and all the food to the elite.....

Yea.... something makes me think this one ain't gonna fly Orville....

These Elite type seem to have forgotten something, The Military is stuffed with disadvantaged poor people's kids....

“OK, your orders are to go shoot mom and dad, and give the officers who treat you like shit 24 hours a day, all their food...”

Mean while.... all of the enlisted glance at each other, roll their eyes, and nod......

BLAM!

No folks, more of the same isn't going to work.....

The key to personal success is NOT playing the normalcy game... you cannot make a better life for yourselves and your children by supporting an overburden of Elite Liars....

The only way from now on to make a successful and secure life, is to get away from the system, away from Nuclear downwind zones, build some kind of shelter, be it cabin, wall tent, yurt, or a lean-to with an open front, and become as self sufficient as possible on all fronts,
Hide any excess food, find places that are hard to access to live and grow your garden, Be prepared to defend what you have with your life, and learn as much as you can about basic technologies like blacksmithing etc. so that after all the drones are gone, you can build a better life....

Thats real sustainable development....

Never work a job.
Never pay taxes.
Never feed anyone who is not a friend or family member.

Only comply with force, as long as the force is actually present....

Then set traps in case they come back....

Anyway..... such a nice morning here..... Tropical birds singing, corn growing, bath in free spring water soon.... where did I go wrong? Not getting out years earlier......






Later, took a nice siesta for an hour.... woke thinking about a program I heard on short wave... a Church Pastor, David Langsford, something like that.... fairly obnoxious bible thumper, I could only take a few minutes, but long enough to hear him suggest Barak Obama was the Anti-Christ...... Boy, not even in office yet and the Bigots are gnawing at him....

To me, I sense an intelligent and sincere person, and was surprised that he won, and very happy he did.... and now I hear that he is America's most admired person, and still we have these extreme right winger types bad mouthing him before he even is sworn in....

I see him as an out of the box player, i.e. From outside the normal paradigm, and although he has incredible problems to deal with, I think he will do well....

I sense also that his election has somewhat subdued the right wing, and rightly so....
If any political group in the US is the Greedheads, its the republicans.... I dont think all that much of the democrats either, but the republicans are most often a powerful inspiration to vomit...

I personally lean between green and libertarian...

I.E. Pro-environmental, and Pro-individualistic.......

You guys at the NSA getting that? Profile info!

I doubt that they give a shit......

Anyway, I dont like violence, but I also know personally that humans are shitheads, and one had best be prepared to defend one's rights and property....

I also know that the founding fathers thought long and hard to come up with documents like the declaration of independence, the Constitution, and even most of the bill of rights....

My point there is I dont think it should be changed, or by-passed, and I do think they should be adhered to.....

Their thinking was based on reality, and humans have not changed since the late 1700's, and they lived under a corrupt tyrant, and so had personal experience with the worst form of politics.....

I also know that Obama's election was a repudiation of the Bush era, and the Republican mindset.... and that I am extremely happy about, and know that many people, including those in business and in government voted for Barak, and so voted for major changes in course....

What this tells me, is there is some hope....

But I also know that its a long swim up river to get anywhere against a status quo.... any status quo.....

But I also think we could just get somewhere with this man.....

I dont expect to always be content with what he does...

But I do expect to be much happier overall than I was with the greedheads in the power position.....


And I was thinking this morning about the positive changes about to begin, and envisioned Windmills beyond numbering, being erected across the great Plains of America, and to me it was a magnificent vision....

Personally I expect Barak will do a lot for people like me, who would rather live independent, not pay the cigar smoking fat cats anything.... I think we will see a federal government that tries to help people who want to change to renewable energy sources, who want to grow food organically, and who want a foreign policy focused on what we can do to help people, and not what we can do to enrich major corporations......

Bush and his buddies are sickos.....

Barak and his buddies are going to be problem solvers....

And boy is there job security these days for problem solvers......

Imagine the difference in FEMA after a disaster between the Bush and Obama presidencies....

I could see the Obama FEMA actually helping people..... Bush FEMA was obviously more interested in seeing that the wrong assholes got as many contracts as possible...

And do I think Obama would forget the black folks in New Orleans? And that it would take 3 days for anyone to arrive? HARDLY! Barak would be there personally, in a boat within hours of the winds abating....

And I could snicker thinking of the ass chewing mindless drones could get from Obama for doing stupid shit, like not letting on the scene doctors work, because they weren't on the FEMA list... And would Obama have used Blackwater Mercenaries? I think not....
I suspect he would have been more likely to use Black and other Community Basketball players... you know, all those guys shooting hoops together all over america...

To me, Obama is like the South winds of spring after the freeze....

And I could see an Obama FEMA handing out seeds etc., and asking people with gardens to grow as much as possible for donation purposes, Rather than a Bush FEMA taking from people at Gun point.... Bush and his group were and are, liars and thugs....

Obama and his group are the real spirit of america.... Lets hope we have enough time, to turn the tide....

But.... I dont count on it.... I know if I am prepared for the worst, I will do fine with anything better... Barak has the hardest job on earth.. and I for one will be supporting his efforts any way I can, as long as he stays on track.... and I sure as hell dont appreciate some Preacher one step up the food chain from an undertaker, bad mouthing a man he could never equal.....

Anti-Christ? Hardly.....

I think a fat ($) preacher milking people for a living, playing on their emotions, and spouting religious mumbo-jumbo shit, that in no way reflects the spirit of Christ's teachings, is more the anti-Christ....

Interesting times........

Basically what has happened, is through the miracle of Democracy, an electorate has awoken to reality, and transplanted a new head onto the Giant of American Politics.....

I couldn't listen to VOA a year ago, but you know what, the day after the election the vibes were totally changed, same people doing the talking, but you could tell the pressure was off, That they knew the shitheads were on the way out..... the whole planet breathed a sigh of relief that day....

And I suspect the Israelis are currently trashing Gaza is a last attempt at being nasty, before the new administration comes in, and makes them get real about the problems....

Obama will listen to both sides, and I doubt the Jews will get automatic backing no matter what..... I suspect they will get leveraged until they whine loudly.....

And Leveraged until they cough up some real concessions to the people they have screwed and abused for several generations...

You dont take people's houses and lands and expect them to knuckle under... There is no force on earth enough to make that happen....

With the Bush Administration, every other word was terrorist....

With Obama I expect both sides of any issue to get their right to speak....

And when people hear and learn the truth of the issues, good results will surely follow....

Humans do have a good side... if they are allowed to use it......

I suspect that Obama will pull out of Iraq, and go into Afghanistan, but with just enough force to protect a reconstruction like never before....

Wait and see....








Saturday, 03 January, 2009

Morning, short wave last night, an economist of sorts, who made predictions last new years, and was judging the results and giving himself Turkey calls on the misses....

I fell asleep before he got to doing this years predictions, but I admired the self criticism,
and that he had the guts to make predictions in the first place.....

Heard also last night the number of earthquakes, including Richter 6's to 9's have tripled in the last 20 years....

No surprise to me.... just a statement backing up what I have long realized, you cant heat an entire planet and not get seismic catastrophes.....

What that means to me, is the Biblical warning is likely a very correct prediction, and the Turkeys are anyone who's ego has them in Cement Buildings.......

I love cement as a building medium, but now ain't the time.....

I have long suspected the potential for a Domino Quake event, that when the curve on the temperature gets too steep, the expansion of Tectonic plates wont release in seismic “Little ones”, that it will cause an entrapment of kinetic energy, a build up of pressures, and eventually one will release that releases others.... like a chain reaction....

If I were a Seismic scientist, and had all the data coming in, I would analyze it for such trends... and do modeling to try to figure out just when on the graph that the smaller releases became ineffective, and look very carefully for any “binding” behaviours...

Basically what it means to me, is the technocult is most likely terminal, and that the next few years could get really interesting....

If ocean rise has doubled in the last 4 years, then there is a temperature rise ahead of that curve... meaning on an exponential progression, we are likely not far from more serious seismic events......

Can I predict when? no.... but I can predict relatively when... “when we dont expect it yet.”

as things are accelerating...

Anyway... I'm not overly worried for my self... living low level has me fairly well insulated from problems....

The house may fall down, but I can fix it in a day or two.... the spring may run muddy for awhile, but I can wait... the fire wont quit cooking my food, and there will be coconuts and bananas laying around......

I live high enough on the mountain, that a tsunami reaching me is fairly unlikely and if such a powerful quake happens I may be smart enough to get higher and stay there for a day or so....

We shall see....

I suspect such a Mega Quake could cause enough friction of tectonic plates that we would see “instant volcanism” as a result.... volcanoes going off, and new ones popping up....


This would darken the skies, going along with the Biblical Warnings....

Such a quake would also trash Nuclear Reactors, and set off “the fires that would burn forever....”

It all fits....

And if one groks Genesis 6, and like my Tico friend the other day; “This is people from outside, off the planet!” and then starts using that logic to chain up other stuff in the bible's stories, a lot becomes very obvious....

I dont get too excited about studying the bible and trying to figure out every word...
I have the overview, and I hear enough of the bible on short wave while wishing for something better to listen to.....

What I know, is it basically states we were planted here, the genetics adulterated with some Meanness, and the desired result is a better type of slave... and we have to go through a bunch of shit caused by the “Bad” genetics, and when its all over the worst will be mostly edited off, but leaving some leavened sweet bread for the original “Wild Yeast” added to the original flat mix....

Slaves who have been allowed their freedom, allowed to go where their vanity takes them, and then trash themselves and an entire planet, are chagrined slaves.....

And if the genetics goes through all the shit and survives, its pretty good....

Bringing me to being who I am very happily, and damn glad that I have been trashed regularly enough by my fellow humans to have found a life thats apart and in a nice place to survive in....

Anyway, its another beauty of a morning here.... perfectly blue sky..... I have nothing on my personal agenda other than wandering down to the coconuts and looking around for some to pack to the house, and seeing if there are also any breadnuts to bucket......

I will also do a few dishes at the spring, take several more brisk baths as the day heats, maybe work on a crafts item, and mostly just go through my usuall cycle of days...

One thing I was thinking about this morning, was the power of minimalism, and how having a really simple diet isn't all that bad.... I hear them talking about fast food on the short wave, and yes it sounds delicious, but I also know what it would do to my skin problem, and I also know thats just the tip of the berg, that there is a reason so many are so sick, and diet thats toxic and wrong for the critter is part of it....

Live natural, live better, live happier, live longer......

Later.... went for a food hike....

got more than I could carry......

also cut the dog shit out of my thumb with the machete cutting bananas loose from the stalk...

coconuts, two types of bananas, breadnuts, maybe 7 fruit, and a Guanavina (Sweet sop).....

I see the monkeys have trashed my Tahitian apple crop on my best tree....

They are very much like humans, take the best, trash the rest.....

Kind of like the Latins: Look your best, steal the rest....

i.e. The Latin cultural character is to look as good as possible, and to steal as much as you can for yourself... its a dichotomy pair of course, and the balance point is not stealing enough to break the looking good spell... I suspect its childhood behaviour, not wanting to get beat, and fighting anyway possible, for enough to make it, with the other dozen or so kids in the family doing the same.....

You teach them honesty, and it goes on the looking good side of the dichotomy.... and never effects the other side a bit....

They see human decency as a personal weakness....

Its not a pretty picture to anthropologize....

And very sad, considering what it does to their culture....

It makes for great politicians.....

And poor countries......


I have lived with the Latins going on 14 years, and its been an ever increasing spiral of downward realization....

Basically their self esteem is built upon how much they can trash others and get for themselves....

Very human...... and only a bit more extreme than western culture....

Its a personalized version of the big lie....

and so just a variation on the human theme....

Anyway, letting the water fill up at the spring after my food hike bath, dirty from hiking around in the brush....

Was thinking about the concept of buying in over on the reserve, and doing a little experimental Farmette for personal use.... only a hectare or two, and go over it, and do everything that I have learned on this bigger farm, but downsized, minimalistic, and designed to support and feed only myself and maybe a mate.... If I were to use local labor, I would assume that it was only temporary, and design and layout everything thinking of how much of what I could do alone, once it was up and running....

Kind of a self centered retirement plan....

We shall see if it comes about....

The farm I am on is a beauty, but the Costa Rican Government has decided to milk people hard on property taxes, especially Americans, its been all over in the Tico Times paper, property taxes going up by as much as a thousand fold on American owned property...

Here inland the values are much less, but I dont have enough of an income to pay “Normal” levels.... compared to the US, it would still be a dream, but when you are used to $10 a year, going to $100 or $1000 a year gets hard in a hurry....

I have yet to see what they want from me since the change....

Most of the problems so far have been over on the coast.....

And if it more than I feel like affording, I will just do what thousands of others have recently done, sell out and leave.... I can go live with the Indians, or live on a boat..... I dont need to own much to survive and have realized it.....

Personally I see it as being like a game of Lunar Lander, with things getting worse and me trying to hold on, until they get worse enough the technocult collapses, and then it gets easier for me, because I dont have it, to deal with any more.....

I'm sure many other survivalists are aware of that logic.....

When you get your trip together good enough as a survivalist, the technocult somewhat becomes the enemy..... its two sided, I'm not stupid, I know the value of modern medicine, electronic communications, easy transportation etc., and I would not do a thing to try to bring it down, in fact I would much prefer it stay up, and boot up the elevators and take the pressure off....

But I suspect the Bible script to be the most likely one.....

That we wont “repent”, and we will trash the planet and ourselves with vanity and arrogance,
and the Ranchers will come back and pick out a few good ones for themselves, and burn those responsible for trashing the planet..... and I just heard that bible line again on Radio this week, i.e. Burning those responsible for destroying the planet.... Gee? Who could that be? Poor fuckers in shanty towns? Or rich fuckers in ivory towers?

The Bible also states that afterwards, people will go back to growing their own food....

Gee? I wonder if that as a lifestyle adds to one's personal security with the Ranchers?

I suspect so.....

We shall see what happens.... I have pieced together enough to know the overall plan....

And its not a pretty one.... incredible amounts of sorrow for all humanity... including the rich... They think they are insulated, but what I know about natural systems is that its the
im-balancing factor that catches the lightning... i.e. In diseases, those with systems most in balance with nature survive, those with too little or too much of any factor get peeled off...

The overfed will die off just like the underfed... in fact they already are...

Balance is the key to everything in the universe...

And the wealthy think its good enough if they sacrifice the middle class to give to the lowest a bit, and keep all they have already for themselves and add to it in the process....

No? check out the economic crisis and where the money trail leads....

Guess what... Rich Guys, the Ranchers will have a wall for you to stand against....

I have faith in the Bible... not blind faith... I was raised Christian, fell out of it when I recognized the Hypocrisy, learned to hate most organized religion with a passion, but then eventually figured out the real trip, and came to faith not through blindness, but though logic.

Once you figure out Stars over cities are spaceships, and angels should read: “Agents”.... it gets really obvious.....

Evidently they have some kind of personal anti-gravity devices, as Christ, Mohammed etc. disappear upwards with no strings attached....

I also suspect they have time travel, as they claim to be able to do serious amounts of work in the twinkle of an eye.. i.e. In a flash....

They also have some form of ESP, and maybe several forms.... and seem to have some oversized warrior class types.....

They burn cities from space.....

Gee? Doesn't sound all that “Religious” to me....Maybe I can handle it now......

And if its the same guys who visited the Mayans, they are due back in about 4 years....

and a lot of folks grok that one.....

If their script is correct, there is a lot of really heavy shit to go through between now and then.....

I think I would want to be prepared, have my “Passover pack” by the door etc.


And I think I would want to work on my personal integrity....

They evidently place a high value on honesty for some strange reason.....

Later....

cleaned breadnuts, got a gallon over the flames....

Not easy trying to keep cut thumb clean...

forgot to check the tree by the house.....

Have another half a dozen trees to come on line, closer to the house in the next harvest a year away.... anyone of which will feed me and dog by itself 5 or 10 years from now....

What I know will happen here, is the Ticos will grok my bus sermons, and go out and rob their Neighbor's breadnut tree, to stuff their faces with.... few will think to plant any more, and so most of the potential will turn into human shit, and few trees get planted...

You'd think humans who look reasonably intelligent would get the idea there was a food crisis in the works, and would start doing everything possible to up the quantity of food available for the future....

Oh! no! Gotta let “Market Forces” work.... i.e. They need to starve a bit, and then use up all the seed for food, and then starve some more, and then look for seed and plant too few too late, and then have to wait 4 years for the harvest to start.....

Too many Neurons dedicated to looking good?

Or maybe watching too much TV?

Glad my lady friend in the valley planted 250 trees.... I would guess she will make a fortune selling seed to morons in the future....

If she manages to get 100 trees, 4 years from now she will have a ton of food/seed the first year they start to produce.... do I think the food problem will get better in the next 4 years?

I wont even answer that.....


I tried to help by pointing out they produced at the right time to fatten pigs for Christmas.....

If Ticos think there is money in it, planting in numbers is more likely...

Meaning some may do it, and then find out they can get too much for the fruit or seed to use for pig food 4 years from now......

Personally I think they will be too late, all of them... my woman friend might do OK,
But the rest of them are in deep shit, because they will run out of time.....

I've talked about the breadnuts publicly for years.....

And got one success......

Do you spose this blog will do any better?

Well, I write it for one mythical decent human.....

If there is a decent human, they cant be too smart.... all the smart ones are fucking up the planet....

Anyway... Trying to keep sticks stuffed under the pot.....

Funny thing about breadnuts, I sit there and peel and eat them as happily as I eat rice, or anything else...

its kinda fun actually, primitive, to be peeling these nuts and popping them in my mouth... no formal dinner, but good food all the same...

Also just added a couple bananas on top the stove, a bit green still, but are the Morados, and will be fine, like a sweet potato baked.......

I see I have hundreds of Morado starts... my worker is going to be cleaning out a draw I have and planting it full soon.....

He will also be cleaning around the abandoned area...

And doing a lot of other things he has been avoiding.....

Anyway you'd never know I was trying to boot up food to save his ass and wife and kid with... in a food crisis...

He's got the same problem as the rest of you...

Over confidence....

the other problem end of the self esteem dichotomy....

If you think about dichotomy pairs, it becomes obvious that either extreme is detrimental....

Which explains my problems with Feminists.....

They've managed to whine themselves into a culture on the edge of collapse, and create a bunch of even more self centered and nasty Lesbian daughters, and turned their sons into women haters, who have little connection to an authority matrix....

There is this economist on short wave, Albert Addis, and he was laughing the other night about news, a divorce, and both partners fighting over who has to keep the house with the upside down mortgage....

And with half a million Americans losing their jobs in a single month, I dont think it will be long until houses are meaningless.... its still small numbers, thats one person in 600 if I have it right... .16%, meaning its increasing at a little less than 1% annually.... but theres that pesky ripple effect, and it is most likely to eventually go exponential....

But if you add that to existing unemployment statistics adjusted for Government lying, of 12% to 15% existing unemployment, then consider that one house in 5 is under water, and one in ten going back to the bank now..... it will be awhile before things get good enough the Rainbow niggers go back to Voting Republican....

I suspect in due time there will be plenty of divorced Lesbians calling ex hubby real humble like, and asking if he has anyway to feed the kids?

And Likely hear; No......

How are food stamps doing these days? And what will say $200 a month do?

People the only way to not get screwed by the money game, is not to play it.....

You people are no smarter than the Ticos... at least where I am they have the valley full of oil palm, and you can eat the stuff... a long time gringo resident has come up with a rich soup from African Oil Palm fruit...

And me and my big mouth made sure every one for miles knows about it.....

Look around yourselves... what do you see you can eat besides each other?

This economic thing is just the status quo getting you used to the idea of starving...

They are going to work camp you rainbow niggers before this is all over...

Great place to get sick and die at....

My advice? Same as always.... scatter! Get rid of excess baggage, get a neoindigenous life going, and get out, one step at a time, and make them quick steps...
