  1. Living Family Permaculture Vs Dead Cities

    these things arn't to convert anyone.. people are what they are... some just a reminder for me it was walking down the main mall in the city coming home from uni and somebody handed me some paper with text and images of what was happening... from that moment I changed based on the information I received and was previously unaware of. I am grateful to that person for opening my eyes to the reality of things...and me no longer being part of that torturous system.
  2. Living Family Permaculture Vs Dead Cities

    Plants are alive too yes It is about creating as less harm as possible in this world... and working together, mutual benefit. I mostly eat fruit which is offered by the tree... not killing it. Herbs and other I take some of the plants leaves... the plant remains alive and grows more vigorously. An Oak tree would have a lot more consciousness I believe than say grass and other leafy vegetables... lettuce etc.
  3. Living Family Permaculture Vs Dead Cities

    "As such, we can only do what's best for ourselves, and try to learn what those things truthfully are" If you read the numbers in the first page you'll see "what is best for ourselves" is killing the planet. "But if you honestly try to push others to do it just because you think it's right, rather than creating environments where people are capable of doing what's right for them..." Animal slaughter is pushed 24/7 ... can't walk down the street without it being advertised or to smell flesh burning Nothing would happen in this world if it wasn't for activists compelling humanity forward. This is also a thread you have chosen to engage in
  4. Living Family Permaculture Vs Dead Cities

    I said from the very first post "A vegetarian family* can easily live on a few acres, being say 90% self sufficient." In my last post ..."between a family of 4 that is a 3.372 acre plot of land which is more than enough to be self sustaining" I've just had to repeat the same facts a number of times, make things more plain etc I don't know any sick vegans eating a plant based diet. I know of a number of vegans who post blood results every so often just as further proof of their health.. to the "shock of their doctors" who have believed all the nonsense drilled into them at universities funded by pharmacological + agri industry. Let us not mention the 100 million killed by the SAD. We are told all humans are the same hm? Apparently when it comes to diet we are all different excuses though. Allowed is an interesting word when you are killing another creature to feed on.
  5. Living Family Permaculture Vs Dead Cities

    Average population density of Earth: 44.0 persons per square kilometer (5.62 acres per person) Livestock covers 45% of the earth’s total land. Thornton, Phillip, Mario Herrero, and Polly Ericksen. “Livestock and Climate Change.” Livestock Exchange, no. 3 (2011).https://cgspace.cgia...IssueBrief3.pdf Nearly half of the contiguous US is devoted to animal agriculture. 30% of the Earth’s entire land surface is used by the livestock sector. Versterby, Marlow; Krupa, Kenneth. “Major uses of land in the United States.” Updated 2012. USDA Economic Research Service.http://www.ers.usda....px#.VAoXcl7E8dt If the land is fertile enough to produce cows/ crops for "livestock" it should be fertile enough for humans to successfully cultivate into small vegan/ vegetarian organic permaculture farms (no reason native plants can't be encouraged either with wildlife corridors) ... so lets say 30% of 5.62 acres per person .. = 1.686 acres per person... even if you want to half that... 0.843 acres per person... 15% of the entire land surface available for permaculture... between a family of 4 that is a 3.372 acre plot of land which is more than enough to be self sustaining Urban Agroecoloy: 6,000 lbs of food on 1/10th acre - Urban Homestead - Urban Permaculture https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCmTJkZy0rM I can give a number of examples of vegan professional athletes, Olympic gold medalists, world arm wrestling champion, ultra-marathon champions, cyclists, martial artists, world strong man etc In a study on longevity...50 healthiest peoples in the world... all practice 95% vegan/vegetarian diet. Vegetarians live longer and have a considerable lessening of all diseases. For example "one study showed that vegetarians under the age of 65 were 45% less like to suffer a heart attack than were meat eaters." 7 Reasons Vegetarians Live Longer http://time.com/9463/7-reasons-vegetarians-live-longer/ It is the optimal human diet... only difference is people unwillingness / lack of will power/ mind/ blood-lust... being slaves to their stomachs they find all types of excuses. Many peoples bodies are riddled with parasites that feed on decaying flesh, they create a lot of the cravings/ desire people have through bio-chemical communication... and the "need" for animal flesh etc.
  6. Vaccination - Split from Microchipped Babies

    I was speaking to a lady who works with children who have been damaged by vaccines / "minor brain damage" ... one of the possible side-effects... One of her clients had 3 children with adverse reactions... they finally made the connection... didn't vaccinate their 4th child...that child is healthy. There are a number of factors that contribute toxicity overload. Breastfed babies for example are less inclined to have strong negative reactions as the breast milk works to counter the damage... formula fed babies don't have this added protection. Who is to say the general population hasn't had their natural IQ potential dropped by 5 to 10 or more points? Even cutting the cord early on a newborn baby can cause brain damage...
  7. Seeking additional information regarding demons/parasites... one and the same thing... physical and subtle manifestations (and the defeat of - pine sap seems to be one method). similar information to https://sites.google.com/site/delawareteasociety/yoked-to-earth-a-treatise-on-corpse-demons-and-bigu The Chu sanshi jiuchong baoshen jing (Scripture on Expelling the Three Corpses and Nine Worms to Protect Life) prob. 9th century gives the following details: 1. The Upper Corpse, Pengju lives in the head, symptoms of its attack include a feeling of heaviness in the head, blurred vision, deafness, and excessive flow of tears and mucus. 2. The middle corpse, Peng Zhi, dwells in the heart and stomach. It attacks the heart and makes its host crave sensual pleasures. 3. The lower corpse, Peng Jiao, resides in the stomach and legs. It causes the Ocean of Pneuma ((qihai) corresponds to lower dantian) to leak, and make host lust after women. In Japanese theory: 1. The “superior worm, is black and three inches long and lives in head, stimulates love of horses, carriages and luxury clothes 2. The green middle, lives in the back, stimulates love of foods 3. The third, is white and lives in stomach, it stimulates sexual desires (Blacker 1999). Nine worms, which cause corpse-malady (shih-chai) or corpse-exhaustion (shih-lao) [(Strickmann 2002): 1. The "ambush worm" (fuchong) saps people's strength by feeding off their essence and blood. 2. The "coiling worm" (huichong) infests the body in pairs of male and female that live above and below the heart, consuming the host's blood. 3. The "inch-long white worm" (cun baichong) chews into the stomach, weakening the inner organs and damaging the digestive track 4. The "flesh worm" (rouchong) causes itching and weakens the sinews and back. 5. The "lung worm" (feichong) causes coughing, phlegm buildup, and difficulty in breathing. 6. The "stomach worm" (weichong) consumes food from its host's stomach, causing hunger. 7. The "obstructing worm" (gechong) dulls the senses induces drowsiness and causes nightmares. 8. The "red worm" (chichong) causes stagnation of the blood and pneuma, heaviness in the waist, and ringing in the ear. 9. The "wriggling worm" (qiaochong) causes itching sores on the skin and tooth decay. (Pregadio 2008) Nine Worms

    type into google images vaccine reactions... that image ralis posted looks similar. Within my extended family 3 people work at hospitals... last winter all three got influenza vaccines... all three had influenza after the injection I went to visit them, greeted them all and hugged them goodbye... I insisted to prove the health of my immune system ... eating a vegan diet (high fruit and vegetables) ... never got anything. The vaccines are causing disease. http://nsnbc.me/2013/05/08/bill-gates-polio-vaccine-program-caused-47500-cases-of-paralysis-death/ Good nutrition and a clean environment = excellent health More info @ http://vactruth.com/2015/02/19/vaccine-injury-compensation/?utm_source=The+Vaccine+Truth+Newsletter&utm_campaign=080e55aa44-02_19_2015_vaers&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_ce7860ee83-080e55aa44-408239277 Vactruth.com

    High-rise more ecologically responsible? Where do people who live in cities get food, fuel, electricity, building material etc from? Cities are dead space vacuums sucking the life out of the planet. A vegetarian family* can easily live on a few acres, being say 90% self sufficient.. even growing their own timber on 1/2 to 1 acre supplying everything they need… 1/2 an acre of hemp for food and fuel also? Everything would be locally grown organic. No shipping, fuel etc, much less materials needed to build cars, trucks, roads… nor people having to travel daily to generally miserable jobs for the most part simply to feed themselves (with poor quality GMO food from supermarkets) + basic shelter. Vast amounts of forests, rivers, oceans are being destroyed to support these cities. Permaculture / Forest farming family gardens would increase biodiversity + an abundance of super vital food … opposed to vast amounts of land being used for animal consumption/ corporate mono-crops turning the world into a desert and so on. *Land required to feed 1 person for 1 year: Vegan: 1/6th acre Vegetarian: 3x as much as a vegan Meat Eater: 18x as much as a vegan “Our food our future.” Earthsave. http://www.earthsave.org/pdf/ofof2006.pdf // Some stats from http://www.cowspiracy.com/facts/ Animal agriculture is responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, more than all transportation combined.

    People do not choose a partner toward improving the quality of the human population. They do as individuals desiring healthy children unconsciously or consciously, which collectively would improve the human population... war, genocide, specifically targeting intellectuals/ natural leaders etc... + collective dysgenics... vaccines, medicated water, toxic air, toxic food etc... biological warfare, attacking genetics ... a possible "symptom" of vaccines is... "minor brain damage"... resulting in the opposite... + corruption of culture and education. I said intelligent, emotionally well balanced and physically healthy... not wealthy Psychopaths have been self selecting to rule while destroying/controlling everyone else. I agree with chapter 57 The more laws and restrictions there are, The poorer people become. The sharper men's weapons, The more trouble in the land. The more ingenious and clever men are, The more strange things happen. The more rules and regulations, The more thieves and robbers. Therefore the sage says: I take no action and people are reformed. I enjoy peace and people become honest. I do nothing and people become rich. I have no desires and people return to the good and simple life. Living in harmony with Nature... The current system is working against Nature. We all have to go back to living like this Move away from this...

    it is DYSGENICS being practiced... not eugenics... Eugenics (/juːˈdʒɛnɪks/; from Greek εὐγενής eugenes "well-born" from εὖ eu, "good, well" and γένος genos, "race, stock, kin") is the belief and practice which aims at improving the genetic quality of the human population. the opposite of ^^^ Nature practices eugenics.. everyone does when selecting a partner If you seek an intelligent, emotionally well balance, physically healthy person you are practicing eugenics. International Banks/ Gov/Corps want a one world slave race however, easy to control. THE BORG WANTS YOU! Get your vaccines today! Free coffee with every vaccine!
