keeping fed 2008-07-10 08:31:53 Another excerpt from Dmitry Orlov’s book.
In addition to small-scale farming, forests in Russia have always been used as an important additional source of food. Russians recognize and eat just about every edible mushroom variety and all of the edible berries. During the peak mushroom season, which is generally in the fall, forests are overrun with [...]
bottled water - the height of stupidity 2008-08-08 09:35:17 Says Diane Francis on Alternet.
Bottled water
is a joke, one of the biggest consumer and taxpayer ripoffs ever. I applaud California’s Attorney General Jerry Brown who said recently that he will sue to block a proposed water-bottling operation in Northern California by Nestle.
Next, Attorneys General everywhere should require recycling of all plastic bottles and containers [...] Read more:stupidity
what do you plan to be when you grow up…post peak? 2008-08-07 10:37:08 Another thought provoking post from Sharon Astyk.
Ok, everyone who thinks that your job will still be there in five years raise your hands. For those of you with your hands up, how sure are you? How secure are you in a deep, systemic crisis? 70% of the economy survives on consumer [...]

the death march of the penguins 2008-08-05 11:47:59 Julia Whitty writes on Alternet about the disappearing sea ice of Antarctica, and the impact this is having on penguins.
Hiking back into radio range, we hear from Ron Naveen, counting southern giant petrel nests on the other side of the island. It’s terrible here, he reports, just awful. At first I picture him befouled by [...] Read more:death

As we’ve said many times, its the small local actions that are [...]
common sense and survival 2008-07-31 08:14:44 William Kotke’s article on Carolyn Baker’s Truth to Power website could have been written by us.
Since Babylon, the type of human culture that we live in has featured an emperor or surrogate who is surrounded by a handful of wealthy militarist/financiers. These people own and rule the realm. This class has historically gained their power [...] Read more:survival

peak energy and what that means for food 2008-07-24 08:41:04 An excellent introduction by By Aaron Newton & Sharon Astyk.
needs and wants locally would reduce our dependency on oil and natural gas in advance of their inevitable decline in availability. One obvious benefit will be the enormous amount of fuel saved by reducing the amount of food shipped all over the country. Fewer refrigerated tractor [...]
the food irradiation plot 2008-07-23 06:16:25 Paranoid? We don’t think so. Conspiracy? Well, no, its just a system that engineers us all to think the same, put money before truly good things like health, community, fun, joy and love, and rewards the people who subscribe to this worldview the most with positions of power, privilege and wealth.
As Mike Adams, on Natural [...]
sleeping beauty and why you should think about peak oil (even if it seems much nicer not to) 2008-07-17 09:02:31 Sharon Astyk tells us why we should be paying attention, and think
ing about peak oil and climate change in the present tense.
So I thought it might be good to do a post not so much on what peak oil is (if you scroll down there’s some resources in the sidebar that can help there) but [...]
not preparing, living my life 2008-08-24 08:34:07 Says Sharon Astyk, who has been, and continues to be, a wonderful source of common-sense perception. She writes a lot of stuff that we’d write here, but instead are able to link to her articles.
I think at the back of most of our minds is the idea that someday, we’ll use the hand grinder or [...]
sorry, no gas 2008-08-24 08:19:20 A new blog about peak oil, at
Oil is everything. That is to say, everything in the modern world is dependent on oil. From oil and other hydrocarbons we get fuel, fertilizer, pesticides, lubricants, plastic, paint, synthetic fabrics, asphalt, pharmaceuticals, and many other things. On a more abstract level, we are dependent on oil [...] Read more:sorry

Imperialism and the matrix

, at Thomas Paine’s Corner.
The warrior ethic of the American Imperial elite, embodied in its fullest measure by Zbigniew Brzezinski, has been rejuvenated momentarily by Russia’s attack on Georgia. Reading Brzezinski’s words leaves one choking on their overt hypocrisy or laughing insanely at the obvious [...]

reality bites again 2008-08-20 15:43:01 James Howard Kunstler writes about US stupidity in the ‘Stans’.
The feeble American response to Russia’s assertion of power in the Caucasus of Central Asia was appropriate, since our claims of influence in that part of the world are laughable. The US had taken advantage of temporary confusion in Russia, during the ten-year-long post-Soviet-collapse interval, and [...] Read more:bites

For many Americans who gain their information solely from television, all critics of psychiatry are Scientologists, exemplified by Tom Cruise spewing at Matt Lauer, “You don’t know the history of psychiatry. … Matt, you’re so glib.” The mass media has been highly successful in convincing Americans to associate criticism of [...] Read more:insane
