Guns and Gardens

Bill Mollision, who coined the term permaculture, says this:

"We live in a world with a hierarchical power structure.  Growing our own food makes us self-sufficient, which takes us out of the power hierarchy.  Gardening is thus a subversive act.  The reason revolutionaries of the past failed is because they used words and bullets instead of gardens."

Wow.  Relatives, do you see why the Deep State doesn't want us to garden?  They don't want us to be self-sufficient.  Self-sufficiency is anathema for central authority.

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.  Teach a kid to garden, feed her for a lifetime.  But then she won't need a job so badly, and might not be so desperate a wage slave, so the government has conveniently avoided teaching us how to garden.  How malicious.  Abraham Lincoln believed that one out of every seven men needed to farm for America to maintain its national security - relatives, we have been betrayed.

Because gardening is a subversive act, it must be defended.  The nonviolent revolutionaries who are taking down the Deep State by taking on self-sufficiency must be defended.  I propose a strategic alliance between the NRA and the FFA.

Haven't heard of the FFA?  It's the Future Farmers of America, silly.  The gun owners defend the right to grow food and the farmers defend the right to own guns.  You see, the 2nd amendment exists solely to defend against government tyranny - the violation of our rights by an unelected, totalitarian Empire.  Notice any rights being violated lately?  Seems to be everywhere - but the point at which they try to violate the 2nd amendment is the point at which tyranny is attacked, ruthlessly and eternally until it is destroyed.  These mass shootings are tragic, but they will never persuade the Repubic to lay down their arms in the face of overt Imperial aggression.  That's like expecting Kim Jong Un to lay down his arms in the face of overt Imperial aggression, or expecting Putin to lay down his arms in the face of overt Imperial aggression.  Relatives, it just ain't gonna happen.  The founders of our government didn't merely encourage us to stay armed and vigilant against government overreach - they demanded it of us. And as the line between our obese military and our violent police gets blurred, and domestic citizens are treated as enemies even as rights go out the window, the Republic is rightfully required to take careful aim at the Deep State and demand that it give us our rights back.  Or else.

We must defend our unalienable right to overthrow unrepresentative tyranny with arms, just as we must defend our unalienable right to cultivate sustainable economic prosperity through ecological rehabilitation.  Can you dig it?  Economies are all based on geographic ecologies, whether it's Saudi Arabia's oil fields, Silicon Valley's workforce, or the U.S. Military's bases around the world.  Healthy ecologies lead to healthy economies, and the opposite is also true.  Ecological investment reaps economic dividends.  Ecological self-sufficiency is the key to maintaining local economic health and preventing central authority from assuming too much power.  The guns defend our gardens, and the gardens defend our guns.

Imagine what a Green Party would look like if it had the endorsement of the FFA and the NRA.  It would probably have a pretty solid platform...  Think the CIA is reading this?
