I was aware of human breast milk proponentship, which first surfaced last fall, from the UK. As a former biologist, and a survival proponent, I am duly alarmed at the epidemiological possibilities of this development. The passsing of hormones, bacteria and immuno diseases by the ingestion of human breast milk by the populace at large canhave exponentially negative results, from a public health perspective. I will never utilize this form of milk, under any circumstances, unless it is fed into the human food chain, without the knowledge of the general population. This has consequences for immuneology which are very far reaching and dire. The SS, under the National Socialist government, on Germany, before WW II, also had thought of this development, and had previously began to develop this alternative source of nurishment, for their Lebensborn program. HOwever, due to the onset of war, it was not fully developed by the Lebensborn program administrators of the SS. This is the objection, morally, which I have to this concept, let alone , also, its public health dangers. Where, in the hell, are we, as a civioization, headed to. With onsuing developments of concepts such as this, what is the actual status of our survival, as a civilization, let alone, personally, with the onsuing crush of ever ongoing rising food prices, and the onset of potential world wide famine? I am truly puzzled by the direction in which we, as a civilizaiton, are headed. ANd it is most alarming. Makes me continue to stockpile food, ammunition, an to develop alternatives to living anywhere near any area of large population. Thanks to all here. Rick

What is the link to the video that makes Jack’s blood boil in regards to rights?

If you were looking for domestic terrorists wouldn’t those be reasonable attributes to look for? If you accept targeting, it isn’t just for Muslims.

Re; farmer in Oakland. You were right to not call Chris Candell an assclown. I just got off the phone with the guy. He returned my call Immediately, and we had a follow-up email discussion. You are correct in that he is simply doing his job (never argue the justness of law with a cop). Anyway, he was quite diplomatic, and seemed to be both sympathetic and genuinely concerned about the well being of the public. (As he said; “how would you feel if your child got lead poisoning from her farm because the soil wasn’t tested?”

Anyway, the good news is that he guided me to new legislation that is being drafted today that will hopefully resolve a lot of these issues. I’ve been on the phone all W/ various local government ppl. Their attitude seems to largely be “Its a problem, the laws are 70 years old, and suited for different times. We’re working to fix that.”

Thanks for the info RE hugelkultur in containers, as I had also been wondering if it would work.

I would like to second the WTF on the cows producing human breast milk. Hey didn’t we try to play god already once? hmmmm

@Jack @gregory Here, here! What kind of institutional cancer is this!? Imagine the Salvation Army getting into prostitution. I really think it’s that wacky–but it’s true!

Jack,

In an era where minting your own silver coins is described as “A unique form of terrorism” by the government; an era where members of our government can decry the relaying of information as terrorism that must be punished with summary execution; an era where a private in the military faces the death penalty for releasing a video of the military knowingly killing civilians, while those military personnel go unpunished; an era where even being a peace protester labels you as a potential “terrorist”, is it any wonder that being a patriot puts you under “suspicion”?

Well Jack, you finally managed to piss me off today with your callous treatment of Novella Carpenter. I actually became a fan of hers after listening to your show for a year and had always wished you might some day interview her.

No worries though, I will cool down soon enough. I still love your show( thought you now officially have pissed me off once, well actually twice but the first time was not as bad{that was early on in your show when you trashed people who are able to but choose not to carry CCW. I an New Englander BTW }) I still think you might consider interviewing Miss Carpenter.

Re: Oakland Farmer

While I think there should be a sliding scale based on the business size, why should this woman be treated any different from any other business owner in the city? She’s not just trading or selling a few tomatoes…we’re talking several thousand dollars a year.

@Jack,

Your comment about people trying to sterilize everything is one I’ve heard from others, but honestly, it makes little sense to me. Wanting to have a clean kitchen counter to avoid a specific, known source of contamination or possible health risk doesn’t mean that person is never exposed to bacteria, viruses, etc. Walk out of a perfectly sterile house (which isn’t possible) and you’ll be exposed to plenty of germs.

Point is–we’re exposed to plenty of germs on a daily basis whether or not we keep a clean house, wash our hands, etc. The reason we clean toilets, kitchen counters, etc is that they are specifically known sources of high levels of bacteria that can and do cause specific health problems if not kept under control.

We don’t need to carefully avoid over-sterilizing things so that we can insure we’re exposed to germs. We don’t need to create opportunities for more germ exposure.

Lastly, I believe Antibiotic over use (which I agree is a major problem) is not the same thing as killing bacteria with a cleaning agent. Not an expert on that, but I don’t believe that the process is the same.

This is utterly insane. Every time I hear you talk about GMO’s, I think of a quote from the movie Jurrasic Park. “Just because we can do it, doesn’t mean we should”.

Chris,
RE VTG’s Excellent idea. Words matter.
