Permaculture Passion

Permaculture Passion

Ten years ago, I learned the truth about our food system and it broke my heart. But it also planted a seed that changed my life.

The Radical Garden is my current passion project, or maybe it’s more of a mission. A living, breathing response to the ecological crises we face and a personal act of resistance and regeneration.

I first learned about the scale of environmental destruction while studying at university in Wisconsin. Like many, I was shocked by the reality: climate change, deforestation, mass species loss and at the center of it all, the industrial food system. I felt overwhelmed, anxious, even hopeless. And perhaps worst of all, I felt I was participating in the problem every time I ate.
Alongside that despair at the same time, I discovered a lifeline. A solution so simple and powerful that it changed the course of my life: growing our own food. I joined a local community garden and began learning from my first mentor, Wes. From there, I dove into studying regenerative agriculture, working on organic farms, WWOOFing, and taking permaculture courses.

All of that has led to this: The Radical Garden.

A small-scale, regenerative garden (just 50 x 50 feet) designed to show what’s possible in a fraction of an average American lawn. This is a living experiment in what any family can grow and manage with intention and consistency.

It’s a closed-loop system, a soil-building, biodiversity-boosting, food-producing powerhouse. My goal is to generate at least 80% of the compost needed from within the system itself, and to grow enough food to feed myself and my partner year-round. (Honestly, I think it could feed more.)

But this isn’t just all about food. It’s about reclaiming power. Healing disconnection. Taking real, tangible steps toward a more regenerative way of living. My hope is to make this as replicable as possible to share with others.

The Radical Garden is really my simple message to the world. It’s where I turn eco-anxiety into action. It’s where I become the kind of person I believe the future needs.

And I hope it inspires you to do the same.

The Great Colonnade of Apamea

The Great Colonnade of Apamea

Imagine walking down the most magnificent street ever built – welcome to the Great Colonnade of Apamea. This wasn’t just any ancient walkway; it was a stunning 2-kilometer parade of massive columns that would make modern skyscrapers seem modest in comparison. Each column reached as high as a three-story building, thick as a small car, and lined a street longer than 20 football fields!
Built during the height of the Seleucid Empire, this wasn’t simply architecture – it was a show of power carved in stone. When a devastating earthquake shook the region in 115 AD, the people of Apamea didn’t just rebuild; they created something even more spectacular. Imagine yourself there: massive columns rising on both sides, their carefully carved spiral patterns catching the sunlight, their shadows dancing across the wide avenue as merchants, nobles, and travelers passed beneath.
Each column stood like a stone giant, 9 meters tall, with bases so perfectly squared they’ve survived nearly two millennia of time’s endless march. The fluted patterns spiraling up their sides weren’t just decoration – they were a statement: “This is Apamea, where even our street corners rival the grandest temples of other cities.”
Today, we build impressive shopping malls and broad avenues, but none quite capture the sheer audacity of Apamea’s Great Colonnade – a street that didn’t just connect two points, but proclaimed to the ancient world: “This is what power looks like when it’s carved in stone.”

Informed Consent

They Renamed GMO to Fortified

Informed consent is the term given in law and commerce to describe the condition of a person having all relevant information known to them prior to making a decision.

There are various statutes that proscribe how this is to be applied – insurance terms and conditions, investment prospectus, health regulations, even nutrition information panels on food products.

This is to ensure that people making decisions are fully appraised of all factors, for and against, and are not blind-sided by factors that would have affected their decision if they had known them prior to making the decision.

These different pieces of legislation came about as a result of various unsavoury activities – from withholding information all the way up the scale of dishonesty to deception, lies, fraud, confidence tricks, covert attempts to harm or kill  etc. Any means by which a person could be led to make a decision not in their best interests.

As we have experienced during the Great Covid Con, even governments, their agencies and medical authorities, let alone educational and medical research institutions, big Tech, big Pharma and the media have all been guilty of abusing this principle.

OK, that’s all about ’the other party’. What about you and me, the person making the decision. What’s our responsibility in this?

Well first, we have to be prepared to look at the actual facts of the situation. Not what we’d like to see, not what we hope to see, not what was there before, not what we are told is there, not what is inferred to be there, but what is actually, observably there, here and now in present time.

Only by looking at what is there can we be fully informed for our decision.

“No argument!” you say, “Makes perfect sense.”

Oh yeah, but do you do it? How well do you apply that principle of “Informed Consent” to your decision making?

Do you read the political platform statements of the representatives for whom you vote come election time?

Do you read the nutrition information panels of every food purchase you make?

Do you know the health risks of every food additive, colouring, preservative and flavour enhancer you allow in your diet from ultra-processed foods?

Do you know the 20 different names by which aspartame is called on food labels?

I don’t pose these questions to make you wrong but rather to illustrate the point that we can all do better in applying this principle in our lives. And be better off for doing so.

Now I know what most will think when reading this, that it’s all too hard. There is so much to know and I am busy enough already.

But as I have in my personal email footer:

Our most formidable enemies are:
Personal and collective ignorance,
personal and organisational out-ethics,
lack of personal integrity and
lack of self-discipline.

What we don’t know and what we know we should do but do not discipline
ourselves to do are two things that will kill us. Gradually or suddenly.

Self-discipline is a skill and just like any skill, it improves with practice.
On what are you going to practice yours today?

To your being better off!

Angela Lansbury

Angela Lansbury

During the production of “Murder, She Wrote” (1984-1996), Angela Lansbury’s generosity changed the course of a struggling actor’s career. The young performer faced severe stage fright, leading to multiple retakes that frustrated the crew and raised concerns among producers. His role was at risk, but Lansbury personally intervened, inviting him to rehearse privately. She helped him refine his lines and manage his anxiety, ensuring he delivered a steady performance. Her guidance not only salvaged the scene but also reinforced his confidence. Years later, the actor credited her support as a pivotal moment that saved his career.

Lansbury’s dedication to nurturing talent was deeply ingrained in her approach to acting. She understood the pressure of the industry, having started her own career at a young age. Her breakthrough role in “Gaslight” (1944) earned her an Academy Award nomination at just 19. Throughout the years, she worked with numerous struggling actors, often mentoring them on and off set. Her belief in fostering new talent was evident in “Murder, She Wrote,” where she advocated for casting lesser-known actors, giving many their first major television roles.

Her kindness extended beyond individual mentorship. She often took the time to acknowledge the efforts of crew members, ensuring a supportive working environment. Many co-stars recalled instances where she stepped in to mediate conflicts or spoke up for underappreciated colleagues. Her commitment to fairness even led her to negotiate with network executives to secure better pay for cast members and crew. Unlike many leading actors who focused solely on their performances, Lansbury viewed television production as a collaborative effort.

She once recalled how early in her career, she had witnessed seasoned actors dismiss or belittle younger performers.

Determined not to repeat such behavior, she made a conscious effort to be approachable. On “Murder, She Wrote,” she would often spend time between takes chatting with guest actors, ensuring they felt comfortable. For those struggling with dialogue, she would rehearse lines with them rather than leave them to figure it out alone. These efforts created an atmosphere where actors, regardless of their experience, felt valued and capable of delivering their best work.

Her generosity also extended to financial assistance. She discreetly helped actors and crew members facing personal hardships. In one instance, she learned that a longtime crew member was dealing with medical expenses beyond his means.

Without seeking recognition, she covered the costs, allowing him to continue working without financial distress. Such acts of kindness remained largely private, revealed only years later by those who had benefitted from her support.

Even seasoned actors acknowledged her influence. Co-stars like Len Cariou and Jerry Orbach praised her ability to balance authority and warmth, describing her as a leader who ensured professionalism without creating an intimidating atmosphere. Some actors who had struggled in other productions found working with Lansbury to be a transformative experience, as she provided not only acting guidance but also emotional support during difficult moments.

Beyond “Murder, She Wrote,” Lansbury continued offering guidance to younger actors in her later projects. Whether on stage in productions like “Blithe Spirit” (2009) or in voice roles such as “Beauty and the Beast” (1991), she remained committed to supporting her colleagues. Her kindness was not a calculated effort to enhance her reputation but an instinctive part of who she was.

Angela Lansbury passed away on October 11, 2022, at the age of 96. She died peacefully in her sleep at her Los Angeles home, just five days before her 97th birthday. In her final years, she remained in close contact with many of the actors and crew members she had mentored, offering advice and encouragement long after their professional collaborations had ended.

Those who knew her best remembered her not only as an accomplished actress but also as a person who profoundly influenced the lives of those around her. Her generosity, both on and off set, left a lasting impression on Hollywood, ensuring that her legacy was defined not only by her performances but also by the countless people she uplifted along the way.

Fluoride Is A Horrendous Endocrine Disruptor

Fluoride and Thyroid

Dr Jenn Simmons, MD

Fluoride Displaces Iodine, Shutting Down Thyroid Function & Calcifying The Pineal Gland.

Fluoride Is The Biggest Health Scam Of The Century.

Fluoride Toothpaste & Fluoridated Water Had Nothing To Do With Health, But It Had Everything To Do With Profit.

Fluoride is a waste byproduct of the aluminum manufacturing industry. Sigmund Freud’s nephew, Edward Bernays, was hired to produce an advertising campaign to convince the public that Fluoridated toothpaste & water was healthy.

Paid off Doctors & faulty studies accomplished this lie & the public was duped to believe that it is acceptable to consume toxic waste grade fluoride which contains billions of atoms of lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium & thallium.

Fluoride is more toxic & lethal than Lead. Fluoride was a common household rodent & pest killer in the early 20th century. Fluoride shuts down our Pineal & Thyroid Gland, causing us to be submissive & bland.

Conditions Caused By Fluoridated Toothpaste & Fluoridated Water:
Bone Fractures & Osteoporosis
Alzheimer’s & Parkinson’s Disease
Autism & ADHD
Lowered IQ
Epilepsy & Huntington’s Disease
Depression & Mood Disorders
Degenerative Eye Disease
Hypothyroidism & Pineal Gland Calcification
Displaces Iodine, Causing Deficiency
Asthma/COPD Airway Hyperreactivity/Panic Attacks
Metabolic Syndrome & Diabetes
Cardiovascular Disease & Hypertension
Autoimmune Diseases & Allergies
Chronic Kidney Disease
Rheumatoid Arthritis
NAFLD & Pancreatitis
PCOS & Infertility
Cancer & Tumors In Every Organ

There are 100s of Non-Fluoride Toothpastes available to purchase in stores & online. It’s also very easy to make your own with only 3 ingredients.

Let me know in the comments if you’d like my toothpaste recipe.

Fluoride infiltrates where Iodine should be & harms thyroid function. Hypothyroid is caused by heavy metals poisoning because Iodine cannot uptake into the cells. Which is why Iodine supplementation & a healing protocol heals Hypothyroid permanently.

Ten Life Transformative Benefits of Iodine Therapy:

1: Detox Mercury, Aluminum, Lead, Fluoride & Bromide
2: Shrinks Cysts, Fibroids & Tumors
3: Prevents Cancer & Parasitic Infections
4: Heals Candida & Fungal Infections
5: Relieves Menopause symptoms, hot flashes & acne
6: Breaks down scar tissue & adhesions
7: Lifts mood & brain fog
8: Heals Hypothyroidism
9: Stimulates hair growth & relieves cold intolerance
10: Heals immune system & reduces inflammation

Fermented Garlic: What It Does To Our Body And How To Make This Mixture

Fermented Garlic

Garlic is a delicious aromatic that has been long used as a flavor enhancer for many dishes. For thousands of years, it has also been used as a medicine by Chinese, Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, and Babylonians. Eating garlic has been linked to reduce the risk or help prevent the major causes of death worldwide – infections, heart disease, stroke, and cancer.

Garlic is closely related to onions, leeks, and shallots. Each segment of a garlic bulb is called clove.

Found in garlic is a high concentration of sulfur-containing compounds. Its main active components are thiosulfinates, which include allicin. Aside from this, it also has high levels of sulfur, zinc, potassium, phosphorus, and saponins as well as vitamins A and C, calcium, iron, selenium, manganese, magnesium, and B complex.

There are more than 130 studies supporting over 150 beneficial health effects of garlic. Most of these studies were done on raw garlic and a few were made on fermented garlic.

When garlic is consumed raw, it can be a bit spicy for the taste and cause a pungent breath odor. That is where fermented garlic can help you.

DNA and Syringe

DNA and Syringe

Stunning research confirms Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines integrate into the human genome, permanently altering DNA in just 6 hours!

Studies on human liver cells show reverse transcription, where vaccine mRNA converts to DNA and embeds in your genetic structure.

Swedish researchers verified this process, sparking fears of long-term risks like cancer, autoimmune diseases, and hereditary effects.

“The genetic code in the human body is changed,” warns cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough, emphasizing potential cellular disruptions.

Another study found vaccine-derived DNA in genomic sequences, hinting at widespread, unpredictable changes.

Lipid nanoparticles in the vaccines may worsen this, spreading mRNA to organs like the liver, ovaries, and spleen.

“We’re staring at a potential health catastrophe,” one scientist stated, calling for urgent investigation.

While authorities dismiss concerns, independent experts demand answers.

Many of us cautioned against the dangers of mRNA integrating into the human genome and urged a ban on mRNA technology, but our warnings were ignored.

I have been working on a solution to this problem: https://www.healthelicious.com.au/NutriBlast_DNA_Heart_Mitochondria.html
