Free American Magazine and Liberty Village Plan

color=darkred][/color] If I have the help!
I am rebounding from near death to continue the attack on tyranny! Allow me to introduce myself. I have been the publisher of the Free American Magazine and website for over 10 years. A severe MC accident occurred a few weeks after George Bush authorized the NSA to Tap Everyone's phones. The accident and unscrupulous hospitals put me out of business and nearly killed me by keeping me drugged up for 3 months. I lost everything but have started reforming in many ways. I have national distribution if I have sufficient advertisers and office help. My website is http://freeamerican.com. We are faced with a multi-pronged attack on our freedom and liberties but the attacks are not coming from the direction that Bush tries to point you in. While the problems are huge and varied, the answers that I came up are very simple and could be a large part of Downsizer.net agenda. Smaller, more efficient homes in rural areas, with range fed beef and organic chickens and eggs in the restaurant, natural and hydrophonic gardens with fish, goats mowing the lawns rather than illegals on riding mowers, a bunkhouse for homeless children or Veterans in return for their help in maintenance and the Vets would provide the protection from invaders. American made products would be produced on site and sold through the magazines and the gift shops in the restaurant. In short, a return to the small villages that produced America and its values. All of the charm and practicality of the 19th Century and all of the convenience of the 21st, without the interference of the international Bankers and their counterfeit money system. Call me if you want to be a part of it. I am Clay Douglas, 888-678-1444. Subscriptions, advertising and donations on http://freeamerican.com. They cities you are in were created to remove you from the land. Communist or Tyrannically Regimes go after the self-sufficient Family Farms and Ranches First. They want to chip your chickens and meter your wells now. How will you defend yourself and provide for your family in a city closed down by rioting illegals? Consider your city is the newly designed Ghetto or Concentration Camp of the 21 st century. Think of the 3 posters in every Liberty Village, the declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and the Constitution of the US. Where do you want to live?

You can't make decent chips out of chickens either, you need spuds. Preferably Maris Piper.

I'm quite taken with the goats riding mowers. Maybe M-J should think about that as a longer-term solution...
gil

not to mention the hydrophonic gardens

I remember a club in London in the 80s that had fish in tanks built into the supporting pillars. Stonking hi-energy beats, and the fish opening and closing their mouths and waving their fins in time to the music.

Man, I'm far too sober for any of that to make sense.

Golden Wonder for crisps. I don't think you can get Maris Piper in the States. He needs Idaho Russets.

Have you tried that new one, whats it called, Maya gold? I've got some sitting in the ground to try when I've dug 'em up, meant to make cracking chips.

Edit: He'd be making fries remember. Not chips. Although he might make chips, but they would be crisps.

that was just pub in Camberwell with a tropical fish tank. You may have partaken of 'the Carrot'. Oh Withnail, stop it!

But Americans call crisps chips. So it is Golden Wonder he wants.

Not yet. Tried Carousel for the first time this year. Nice clean spuds but a bit dry and lacking in flavour.

Being licensed to ride a mower is another exanple of being contolled by the CIA. All mowers are now monitored by satellite.

Although I'm taken with the mower-driving goats, wouldn't it be more environmentally friendly if they were using some kind of manual mower? I can't help feeling that goats on power mowers isn't a good use of a scarce resource. Confused

You could have a fishing-rod and use it to dangle an anorak in front of the goat. They're extremely keen on anoraks in my experience.

Could be. But would the goats go for it? Driving mowers is probably fun for them. Would pulling a mower be so good? They wouldn't be able to go so fast.

Unless they were pulling the mower while riding motor bikes, of course. Then they could really zip along.

Absolutely not but they only way we can keep the goats happy is to pull the mower ourselves. Perhaps the goats are in control?

I just turned off my proxy settings and it seems to work fine. I had never heard of a dongle until a few months ago. it is a usb device that you plug into the back of your computer and it detects wireless networks.
I am good friends with the ICT coordinator so maybe that helps.

The anorak would need to be a mock anorak. You're right - a real anorak would have pockets full of all sorts of... interesting... things...

Could take a goat's eye out!

Yep. When I was about six years old we lived in a rented farmhouse near Oxford. The 'lawn' was unmowable so my parents bought a goat and she ate my anorak which was hanging on the clothes line.

A scythe would have done the mowing job better. And left your anorak intact.

I just switched off the proxy settings. you are right, the computer would detect the wireless networks anyway.
I went out with someone who's brother worked for GCHQ and my phone line beeped and whirred and buzzed a lot until we split up!!!
Don't think goats were involved.

Where did the lizards come into this. I thought it was just illegal goats and chickens.
gil

Result of last year's rasp/redcurrant mixes / experiments

Best (general opinion) : rasp/redcurrant mix 2:1
wild redcurrant : pretty good
rasp : 3rd place (lacks bite)
cultivated redcurrant ( now drinking) : still a bit fierce; needs to mature more

BTW, Ribena Toothunkind (AKA Blackcurrant 05, as in harvested then) is starting to mellow out, and I can also taste the raisins used.

that's how you can tell them apart from the controlled ones. Remember the 'Body Snatchers' (which was true). A docile goat is in the pay of the lizards. fortunately they are resilient and areleading the defence of the earth from alien takeover.
