Hearing your talk in Hudson NY was good, but this is better--being able to see the slides and consider the points you make at leisure. It appears that many of the same people who brought us the Covid "pandemic" are behind the drive to control our food.

Exactly, the WHO, UN, WEF and their puppet-masters are behind both. Thanks! And it was nice meeting you!

That is why I went from a focus on the WHO and UN to food--it was the next biggest crisis imho.

Brilliant!! Absolutely fantastic collection of visuals and prioritization of issues! I'd be jealous if I weren't so happy to see you do this so well!!

I'm sure it will be enlightening. Most attendees will know this but when the bats, bees, birds and butterflies die off because of all the pesticides, no food is pollinated. Without food, we and the animals die!

Joel Salatin for Sec. of Agriculture!

Skupe's avatar

Absolutely and Thomas Massie too if he wants to leave Congress (though DJT doesn't always like the way he thinks -- too frugal)! He is a farmer, so he's right to be frugal!

What wonderful information Dr. Nass! You rock!

Your presentation was excellent despite the time frame and lack of slides! So highly informative.

That was a fun day in the winter dairy barn. It was an honor and real treat being amongst the greats in such an intimate environment.

Side note, the wood floors in the barn are removed in the wintertime, exposing the concrete floor which is laiden with hay for the cows. The support posts sit on brick piers that rise above the straw level which gets built up over time.

Thank you Meryl, your work is outstanding and so greatly appreciated!

HUMANITY's LONG VIEW ON POLYCULTURE-ORCHARD-FOOD PRODUCTION-EFFICIENCIES

ALL HUMANITY's WORLDWIDE 'INDIGENOUS' (Latin 'self-generating') 3-D POLYCULTURE ORCHARD food trees are over 100 times more productive of food, materials, energy & water-cycle, than 2-D 'Agriculture' (L. 'ager' = 'field'). Many 10s of Metres deep roots incorporate chelated minerals into each tree food. Almost complete photosynthesis fires enzyme, micro & macro-nutrient synthesis, many 100s of times beyond 2-D agriculture. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/b-ecological-design/1-Polyculture-Orchards

SYLVALIZATION (Latin 'sylva' = 'tree'). Trees act as Sun mitigation creating the perfect stable 30 degree temperatures & humidity, Trunk & Root Heal-Pumps store & average the sun's heat as a constant average year-long times many quadrillion trees. Tree & rooted earth store massive amounts of water, enabling streams, rivers, lakes to maintain constant flows year-long. Climate, temperature & humidity is balanced for all.

As empires spread, hungry for the hardwood Oak for weapons of war, forts, arms, ships etc. the main productivity loss is the indigenous, carefully cultivated 3-D POLYCULTURE ORCHARDs of all humanity's worldwide 'indigenous' ancestors, which because of:

a) Polyculture's 92-98% Photosynthesis compared with 2-D 'agriculture' 2 - 8% photosynthesis. Agriculture’s all settlers & 1st Nations had left to 'farm' (French 'ferme' = 'contract of servitude by the peasant imposed by the armed aristocrat') after colonial war industry cutting.

b) Deep Polyculture roots descending many 10s of metres into the substrate mining minerals, pumping water, developing extensive nutrient colonies etc. being 100 times = 10,000% more productivity than agriculture. Actually, this calculation is very conservative. In my experience

with both Polyculture & Agriculture such as a 50 square meter (7 by 7 metres) area under the pre-colonial average 100 year old Oak tree produced some 3 tonnes (3000 kg) of nuts/year with little labour except bring wastes to feed the tree. The same 50 sq. M of Wheat, Barley, Oats or Rye will produce only 3 kgs of grains requiring intensive mechanical ploughing, seeding, weeding, fertilizing, fencing & irrigation or drainage preparation.

c) Polyculture's nearly complete ~95% photosynthesis of solar energy into food, materials, energy & water-cycle, creates an energy vacuum which drives warm moist ocean winds inland. 60% of Moisture transfer from ocean to continent is through condensation of these winds upon quadrillions of square kilometres of fractal leaf & bark surface. Only 40% of moisture transfers as rain-snowfall. 2-D Agriculture only photosynthesizes 2-8% of solar energy, creating High-pressure airs which push wind from continent towards the sea, creating permanent desert. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/b-ecological-design/1-indigenous-welcome-orchard-food-production-efficiencies

Thank you Meryl!

This is an excellent and thorough description of what has happened--and is continuing to happen--to our food. And now the climate hypnosis is adding another layer of ignorance and absurdity: taxing farmers because their cows fart and Bill Gates wanting to genetically modify cows so they fart less (or get rid of cows and grazing animals altogether). The world has gone mad!

Regarding climate hysteria, remember what covid taught us:

Whenever governments around the world are pushing a narrative that will:

1) give them more control over the people and/or

2) give them an excuse to raise taxes and steal land from the people,

they are LYING!

Think of all the real employment when we convert millions of acres to intensive organic diversified farming crating healthy soil and food and people! Any able bodied person can be taught to do farm work.

Tell Mr Potato Head to stop eating and reduce the carbon footprint t by two feet.

Dave Scrimshaw's avatar

Of course the gov wanted to incentivize farm consolidation in the 40's. Uncle Joe's twin was in the White House: one killing the middle class in Russia and the other doing so in Ameruca.

It’s Crony Capitalism a twist on Fascism.

I hope Rollins hears this; thank you for sharing.

Keep Up the Good Work trying to inform the ignorance mind control complacent BIG GOV already installed their operating systems in all of the Stupid Sheeple and the farm animals Total Control of all OWO WHO own$ you US Totalitarianism Transhumanism Planned Depopulation Agendas Crimes Against Humanity Nature we need to survive thrive Where is the Sun Sunshine we need to be healthy happy growing sowing Wake Up

Does the Weston A Price Foundation know about this talk and your slides? They reach a lot of people and it seems like this would be right up their alley.

Elizabeth Sarah's avatar

They also have their quarterly journal which goes out to many many people. Maybe this as an article for them. Weston A Price was quoted as saying: “You teach, you teach, you teach”!

"...Control the money and you can control everything." It is important to note as well that restoring "the gold standard" is not going to fix the monetary system. It is a ruse to keep those who control the gold, just as they control the credit, in power. We need to wise up to how the money system works now and how to change it so that its serves us all instead of the few. It has been done before, it needs to be a permanent change now.

Good stuff, Meryl, I would make one addition. As noted, the cost of farming inputs exceeding what farmers can earn selling their crops or livestock is a problem for the entire economy that can be addressed by • Parity Pricing: When raw materials enter trade channels at prices in balance with the prices of labor and capital, the economy operates on an earned-income basis with no buildup of public and private debt. This is also historically proven as NORM (National Organizationn for Raw Materials), shows. This would make small holding farming profitable again and allow the retutrn of farmers to the land to grow and care for the soil from which most of our wealth comes. Allowing money to be issued privately for profit means we are governed by a secret and unelected government. Thus it is the money we need to change in order to take back our government, restore democracy, free the people and change the culture from one of private accumulation of wealth for the few to one of public sharing of the wealth for the many. We need to bring back the Greenback, a permanently circulating asset able to pay debt. It is hard to pay debt when all the money is issued as interest-bearing debt. It is a system that concentrates the wealth to the weasels who rule in several ways. 1, interest on every dollar created, 2, Large transfers of wealth each time they stop lending to create a financial crisis, and 3, accumulated interest is embedded in the prices of everything we buy, 50% on average. We need a revolution of stop this awful juggernaught. https://howardswitzer.substack.com/p/organizing-an-electoral-revolution
