First Steps

It’s the hardest part of anything worth doing: taking that first step.

But for anyone who’s paying attention to what’s going on in the world—the intensification of global poverty and food insecurity, deteriorating public health, species extinction, rising sea levels and extreme weather events, refugees fleeing drought and famine, escalating geopolitical tensions—inaction isn’t an option.

It’s time to step up. It’s time to embrace hope. And our best hope is regeneration.

The paradigm shift from degenerative food, farming and land-use practices toward regenerative practices—those that regenerate soil, biodiversity, health, local economies and climate stability—is arguably the most critical transformation occurring throughout the world today.

But that transformation won’t happen fast enough, unless we all step up. And the best place to take that first step is in our own communities.

In “First Steps: Build a Regeneration Movement in Your Local Community,” OCA’s Ronnie Cummins offers suggestions for how to build a local core group to advance the regeneration movement.

2012 Brings Major Change in Global Cannabis Hemp Policy.

Despite the swirling torrent of Dis and Mis Information on the subject, the World’s relationship to a subject that has been taboo for over a hundred years is about to change forever. The reason for the global prohibition on Cannabis and Hemp is a very simple and surprisingly benevolent one. No NOT because smoking pot gives you cancer or makes you sterile or rots your brain, NOR is it because NYLON fiber is better than HEMP. Or that Petroleum based fuels are better then Hemp-based cellulosic ETHANOL. Not because Pharmaceutical synthetic drugs are better than solid (HEMPSEED Based) nutrition and exercise, none of these.

The simple truth is that the human global economy and culture has been tooling up to RUN THE WORLD using this wondrous resource, as predicted by JACK HERER, the man who devoted his life to exploring and publicizing the amazingness of the Cannabis Plant. Prohibition has allowed for the global segregation of the various industrial production possibilities inherent in the plant. As the genetic variations of the plant provide multiple useful products, it follows that it would make sense to structure the system that would deliver this production geographically, so as to maximize the ability to prevent strain degradation by cross pollination between the various strains bred for the various production needs. Now that it is all but over, and the ramp up of the global hemp economy set to begin, this information is important for those who have found their way to this article, and that is the reason that it has been cleared for public knowledge.

Watch as Cannabis Hemp comes into the mainstream, bringing great relief, but NOT only in the goofy way that all of you imagine… It’s much much Larger than that, seriously VERY COOL.

thanks to the group (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) that worked diligently across time and space to bring this forth, we are all eternally grateful.

You can Make TOFU from HEMPSEEDS !!!

It turns out that the real TOFU was not made from SOYBEANS before the 1930’s.

It was made from MARIJUANA SEEDS !
Actually The real name for Marijuana grown for food is HEMP.
HEMPSEEDS are actually a fruit and is the NUMBER ONE source of protein for the human species.
check out this article:
https://www.majik.org/cruxenrose/?p=21

Soybeans were brought in to replace HEMPSEEDS even though Soybeans are number 100 on the list of best protein !!!

Making TOFU-MA (from hempseeds) is EASY !
just google ‘how to make tofu’ and then use HEMP MILK instead of SOY MILK.

I think it was changed so that when we were all smart enough to figure it out we would change it back…

The big problem is most of us are not even smart enough to quit eating cows yet !!

It seems that most of us are going to die, from STUPIDITY, and lack of motivation to change that.

OH WELL….

Here’s the answer to the problem anyway, hopefully some of us will take it to heart and apply it in our lives.

THUNDERGRO™ is the most amazing thing I have ever used in farming

It is true that there are other formulas with components that are similar to components in THUNDERgro™

like Humates, but never before has there been a formula like THUNDERgro™ available anywhere.

It utilizes physics to bring vitality and paramaganetic force back to the soil.

I have been farming since I was a small boy, and worked with many different mediums, and with all kinds of formulas and techniques, and it is utterly amazing to me how quickly I saw changes in my garden, and the effects seem to be building in intensity. For example: We are now in our fourth year of treating our gardens, and fruit trees, and through that period, our avocado tree which was scarcely producing at all when we began. The first thing we noticed was that the initial treatments with THUNDERgro™ increased the size of the fruit by 25% or more, and then a very odd thing occurred. The tree did not pause before it began to immediately go into the cycles of de-foliating, re-foliating and flowering and then fruiting! Usually the tree would pause, go through each of the cycles outlined above in succession through the seasons. The next thing we noticed is that the number of fruits in each ‘pod’ (clusters of fruit on the tree) increased from an average of 4 – 5  fruits to 9 – 11 !!

We wonder what will come next!
