November Open Thread and Subscriber Exclusive Video (2025)

by | Nov 2, 2025 | Articles | 65 comments

It’s the first weekend in November so the November Open Thread is now open for business.

If you’re jonesing for some Corbett this weekend, there are plenty of interviews I’ve done recently to tide you over until the next episode, including:

And, as always, Corbett Report members are invited to log in and use the comment space below to discuss the latest news, debate grand strategies for fighting back against the New World Order, swap fall comfort food recipes, regale us with jokes and amusing anecdotes or whatever else you feel like.

Additionally, it’s time for this month’s subscriber exclusive video. This month, James takes you behind the banner with production assistant Shaun Smith to reveal how the Dissent Into Madness music was made.

As usual, please do NOT subscribe to The Corbett Report just to access this video. It contains no groundbreaking reporting and it is not worth paying for.

However, if you like my work and want to support it, please do consider signing up to become a member (using the new and improved membership page) and accept this behind-the-scenes video as a token of my gratitude.

If you are a paid subscriber and you don’t know how to sign in to corbettreport.com, just contact me. I’ll be happy to help.

  1. I saw this really good paper on the International Center for 9/11 Justice’s website that I thought I’d share. I went into it being pretty skeptical of the author’s claim regarding Covid-19, but after reading it, I think he might be correct that the COVID-19 “pandemic” was a deep state event orchestrated by Western military forces. It is thorough in that he discusses all the leading theories regarding the “Pandemic”. It is very thought-provoking.

    • The Scamdemic always reaked of desperation to me. They weren’t ready, to many ways we were still empowered to fight back and resist. I think the timing with Epstein is not coincidental. There is one thing that will unite all people against the sociopaths, and that’s harming children.

      Our numbers are their greatest fear. History gives us many examples of uprisings and revolution against the despots. Now there’s a vote to reveal more information about Epstein that may be the biggest factor in the government punish.. err shutting down.

      • Agreed, that is one of the highly probable possibilities; that the scamdemic was a panic response to something that was threatening some segment of the power structure, and that something may have been the Epstein stuff.

        If more people were analyzing exactly what was accomplished during the scamdemic, we could probably identify with near-certainty the primary motivation for launching it when they did.

        Unfortunately, apparently, virtually everyone wants to pretend the scamdemic never even happened. They don’t want to talk about it or study it.

    • Thanks for the link – well worth reading

  2. The other day I was looking up material about MKUltra and came across this website which seems to be a legit whistleblower. Does anyone here know about this man and his story?

  3. Local Resistance is a secure, anonymous search tool designed to help people easily locate neighbours in their own city or town who share similar concerns and who are willing to stand together to defend themselves locally against government overreach and the municipal enforcers of the globalist agenda. By linking locally we can find strength and support, we can communicate, coordinate, educate and resist, we can pool resources and organize alternatives. Currently there are 997 members in 37 countries but we need thousands more. There is strength in numbers so please get involved.

    • Thanks for this I have joined and there seems to be someone actually in my town here in the UK so I’ve dropped them an email and hope we can meet up

    • That sounds like a wonderful resource…the only thing I would warn people of is to be very careful of anyone who starts trying to interest them in doing any kind of crime.

      Such resources are great but they’re also a Fed magnet. As long as your not doing crimes you will be fine

  4. very cool Interviews (good to see, that Jimmy Dore keeps coming back to James as guest of choice – I think he has a big viewership, which hopefully funnels more and more people to James’s site eventually).
    I also really liked the subscriber video with the peek behind the curtain of the great DiM documentary on the music side. Me and my band buddies are currently starting recordings again for the next album – which audio production software is being used here? I didn’t recognize the interface of that one… we are still using Cubase (and sometimes Reaper for some tracks).
    The music for DiM came together great and it does a really good job adding atmosphere to the film. Of course I know that James was doing so much on the DIY side and has a passion for music, however I just assumed, that it was some kind of open source external music or some friends who might have let him use it. Fantastic to see that the film even contains a real dedicated, self-made OST. Maybe James could think about releasing some music on some popular sites to also get more awareness for his podcasting from music afficionados? I guess the most popular streaming sites like bandcamp, spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music, Tidal, etc. suck very much as corporate exploitative behemoths, who don’t give a crap about the artists – but still, it might be nice to have the soundtrack released somewhere as an audio version alone?
    On that note – does anyone know a better version of a streaming service for publishing music? Any experience with Subvert, Even, NinaProtocol, etc.?

  5. James, I would first like to thank you for your life work of bringing us interesting and truthful information and people and creating a safe platform of expression. In all these years I have never experienced any nanny state control by you other then being too loquacious with my word count 😉

    While I am not very popular or replied to here, even after what, a dozen years, I continue to offer my insights and knowledge from a life time alternative thinking and living and search for truth. I have gone far beyond the “life script” most have and my sharing is not about ego but love for humanity and a desire to help get things right in this beautiful world.

    Since I spend so many hours crafting my songs I tend to let them “speak” for me as well. At 83 with a COPD diagnosis I am not so sure of my longevity possibilities anymore but I am working on my body/mind energy to allow my “muscle memory” of good health to return. I can now go 2-3 hours without O2 assistance.

    Hope the coming year will find us all safe, satisfied, and further on our paths. Another offering of the song you so kindly used for a while back in the “Radio days” as a segue song:

    IT STARTS WITH YOU AND ME (song)

    • Good luck with your health.
      I am sorry, but internet comment sections are not the best place to fill a hole in your soul. The fact that you love your songs and opinions, more than we do, is due to several factors, but it does little good to disparage the intended audience. I have listened to several of your songs, and I reckon others have, too. But it just doesn’t make me want to click on every one anymore. I will spare you my self-psychoanalysis, as to why I grew tired of them. I will also spare you my critiques of your presentation.

      • The cliche’ bottom line Hanky is I really don’t care what you think or what your opinion of me is.
        105,000 people have listened to my music. Even some from here who have had the respect to make comments for the songs.
        The trouble with folks like you I have sung about:
        “Everyone’s an Einstein till they’re not.”
        That is the danger of anonymous commenting on the web. You can lay out any BS you want and not take any responsibility for it.
        The comment sections of sites are much like therapy sessions where “gangs” form who share the same cognitive bias and with the idea of the As Above, So Below understanding, our nation is much like that.

      “…. While I am not very popular or replied to here, even after what, a dozen year….”

      Hey, I like you well enough but if we talked more we’d just argue 😉

      Best wishes- your still alive and sound like your in in better shape then the folks I was visiting this afternoon. Hope you keep improving!

  6. Well !?!
    That’s not progress!
    It’s great if you condemn TPTSB methods and expose the abuses caused by the gaul of TPTSB. Using those despicable methods that usurped the rights of unsuspecting freedom loving individuals to manipulation of the same order is not recommended , unless you too [ two] want to become what you are condescending. Shoulda – coulda- woulda . That laziness is the road to the ruin you are trying to escape. Thank harder…work new processes to achieve your goals. Define and promote those goals but don’t become the propagandist you wish to destroy.

    New and better ways are begging to be discovered. Tell me why It is or is not the the flaw, the fly in the ointment of this campaign!

  7. Man, so cool you guys scored so much of the music for Madness! Excellent work and sounds great. The main theme is very memorable. I look forward to the next documentary where maybe as you mentioned more time can be committed to the music just so it can be completely created in house. Really great work guys, thank you for all you do.

  8. Can they control the wind down of the current financial system and force us all over to virtual currency that they issue? Or will they lose conrol as more people realize the emporer has no clothes, sweaping away everything as we complete our return to community and the end of this wave of centralization?

    • A

      The majority of people just want to be able to buy stuff and live their lives….the system will fail when then powers cant let them do that but most folks will actively help and desire the continuation of some kind of system.

      • People have increasingly struggled to do both for the past 10 years. Central banking economics have led to instability and erratic behavior that is unprecedented in this current centralization cycle.

        Agree, there will be a system, but it will not be anything like what we have now, as it’s completely unsustainable. And people will adjust just fine. As you said, it’s not important what the system is or who runs it, only that it functions. And the current system no longer functions for many of us.

  9. Fall comfort food recipe to make use of all those mountains of pumpkins lying around everywhere:

    Stacked Function Pumpkin Soup

    https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/stacked-function-pumpkin-soup

    I used some 1$ organic pumpkins we got from a local farm to make a big batch of pumpkin curry soup with regeneratively farmed wildrice, garden fresh Hopi Red Amaranth (seeds and leaves), Goji berry leaves, Egyptian walking onion bulbs, Stinging Nettle, homegrown turmeric rhizome, Kombu, Dulse, homegrown ginger rhizome and many other veggies, herbs and spices.

    It turned out so beautifully that I am going to include the recipe in my next book and make another big 20 liter stock pot full in the weeks ahead (which will have cost us no more than 10 dollars to make) and it smells heavenly as it simmers.

    This nutrient dense soup is rich in both anthocyanin and beta carotene ( offering Ocular-Regenerative/Ocular-Protective, Glyphosate detoxing, Cardio-Protective Potential, Radioprotective, Radiomitigative and Radiomodulatory and Immune system optimizing benefits) so it helps you fight back against Big Pharma and the Food World Order 😉

    If you still have pumpkins available at your grocery stores or farmer’s markets where you are, don’t let them go to waste!

    This recipe below is an enhanced version of a recipe from pages 228 and 229 of my book (Recipes For Reciprocity : The Regenerative Way From Seed To Table).

    Well I don’t want this recipe to be limited to being enjoyed in our home and those that currently own a copy of my book so I am sharing with all of you now as a gift.

    Full Recipe shard in linked post above.

    • G

      I found I like the display pumpkins ti make pumpkin pie more then the little ones people recommend- their a bit of a pain ti process but I like the texture more then the little ones

      • @Duck

        Cool! There are no shortage of those.

        I love to buy up a few of those discounted after halloween each year for seeds alone, I sometimes make soup with the flesh, sometimes add some to kimchi and sometimes compost the flesh.

        But those seeds, roasted up with some oil, pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, a bit of maple syrup and spice bush berries until golden brown, dam tasty! and very nutritious too! They are my fall and early winter protein rich snack at work when i`m planting trees in gnarly weather.

        • Thanks- I made them one year but TBH pimpkin seeds didnt work for me as a snack even though I know their good for me. The shells stuck to my teeth 🙁

          • @Duck

            Ahh ya the seed casings can be a bit intense to chew on depending on how you cook them. If I do not cook the seeds ideally and get that rough texture of shell casings I usually just chew em fast and wash down with a drink.

            What about blending them into a smoothie or making a sauce?

            Mole Polbano sauce is a great contender.

  10. Really good subscriber video!
    I enjoyed learning about how you guys crafted the scores for your documentaries. The scores are layered and mood appropriate. 10/10

  11. I’m ordinarily not too crazy about John Bush (I suppose because he and Derrick Broze are always exhorting me to change my life in ways I don’t feel sufficiently motivated to change it), but I was impressed by what he said at the beginning of “Opting Out of the Conspiracy”, linked to in your introduction to this Open Thread:

    “We want to, you know, kind of protect our movement in a way, and unfortunately far too often we see people fall victim of a psyop within a psyop. And we kind of feel like, oh, we got it all figured out, we’re awake, we’re red-pilled, and all the normies, they’re being taken for a ride by the mainstream media. And then unfortunately the alternative media – maybe it’s clickbait, maybe they wanna play up the sensationalism, but then there’s also some news and intelligence influence in some of this alternative media, or mainstream alternative media as some may call it. And so I just want to make sure that folks, you know, get grounded in some principles, don’t get taken for a ride as part of the conspiracy movement because it’s a huge thing now and like, how do we deal with this? Oh, let’s co-opt it – classic move.”

    This inspires me to invite anyone who’s unfamiliar with the framework of the three camps of awareness, and particularly of 9/11 awareness, to watch David Hughes’ presentation of this at https://dhughes.substack.com/p/interview-with-collapse-life-july from 29:27 to 38:34. This would be an excellent subject for a Corbett piece, with Hughes interviewed and perhaps also ChaosNavigator, the originator of the concept.

  12. I already realized how we were divided into our selected echo chambers, but I recently found out that it is much more severe than I had thought. I thought the Pope’s Ice Cube blessing would be general knowledge, even to lefties. Boy, was I wrong. At a meeting with 20 normies, I mentioned this, and found out that zero percent had even heard of this, including the ‘educated and aware presenters.’ Then I mentioned it to my buddy who had seemed to know about all of the stuff James has presented over the years,etc., and he just got angry and defensive when I acted surprised that he had not even heard of this. I didn’t pressure him aggressively, simply said that I though it was common knowledge, as it seemed such a big story in my internet world. Ditto the Canterbury Cathedral desecration, in both cases. Zero awareness that it was even a thing…

    Plutonium bombs, Uranium bombs, Hydrogen Bombs, and of course Population bombs. Just in time for the next round of Greenstanding.

    This is a nice balance to Bill Gates’ recent softening of his stance on the issue. A nice excuse to recant his recanting of the dogma.

    • I’ve heard of Pope-on-a-rope but not the Pope on Ice, anyway now he’s got plenty of ice for his martinis. The internet seems stirred but not shaken for some reason.

  13. Studied & got a degree in music composition and then have never been able to use it in a job. I really enjoyed this video – thanks for sharing and for all that you do!

  14. “We could go on but why bother?” Well, actually… that was most enjoyable and interesting!
    Thank you both 🙂

  15. As an “Influencer For Hire”, Dr. Eric Berg DC could be paid between $250,000 and $500,000 for a 60- to 90-second video on YouTube. But if he got more views over time, that could actually go over a million dollars for that posted video.

    • Got to say I kinda like Eric Berg even though his son doesn’t like him very much…. I Just go off his general stuff though.

  17. Was listening to NPR today and was surprised to find that they used the term “legacy media”…..I guess the paradigm shift has happened and “achthualllll” media has left the stage

  18. New doco out about Fauci if anyone is interested: https://www.angel.com/watch/thank-you-dr-fauci

    They have a 15 minute preview or if you are a member you can watch the whole thing I guess.
    “Show Overview
    Award-winning documentarian Jenner Furst seeks answers from Dr. Fauci about the origin of COVID-19, a bio-arms race with China, and what may be the largest coverup in modern history. Awaiting Fauci’s reply, Furst decodes thousands of documents with scientists, intelligence analysts, officials and whistleblowers – risking career and reputation in a docu-thriller that is “Oppenheimer” meets “Outbreak”.”

  19. I just don’t get how anyone can support a religion that practices female genital mutilation, child marriage, jihad, and believes women are property , and then hates God’s chosen people. You need to separate politics and war from your antisemitic prejudice. “Israel” is both a nation and a people group , but ignorant people don’t understand the difference. Even if you reject the scriptures( read Isaiah) that plainly teach that the Israelites will inherit a literal nation in “the land of their fathers” , the constant demonization of “Zionists” is just hate talk that doesn’t make you look good . If you must discuss Israel, please be specific so your audience can tell if you’re a prejudiced antisemitism bigot like Tucker and Candace , or just anti-war . Christians are adopted into the family that God began with Abraham, not vice versa. That said, it’s quite interesting to watch the public being led by the nose into Jew hatred just like the Hitler did.

  20. “Wreck the World Slower:

    A lot of the environmental movement has become associated with things that are intended to slow down destruction. Efficient lightbulbs, electric cars, solar panels, recycled paper, shorter showers, and veganism are all efforts to slow down ecological collapse. I don’t want to wreck the world slower; I don’t want to wreck it at all. Follow your inspirations, not your fears.

    We environmentalists can be overwhelmed by the destruction we see, but we can move from a place of creation. The only way to do this is through true inspiration, by following passions and dreams.

    It is necessary to understand that you are not bad for the Earth. You are not a mistake of creation or a disease. You are simply energy. You can create some of the most abundant and diverse habitat ever seen. You have tools that can make you more effective than your ancestors.

    You can tiptoe around hoping not to hurt anything, or you can educate yourself, step in, and make the world better.

    Perhaps you have heard the phrase Leave no trace or Take only pictures.

    This epitomizes thinking in the environmental movement -that nature is fragile and needs protection. The truth is, we are all part of nature.

    It cannot be separated by lines on a map. Our involvement in nature can enhance or hinder biodiversity. It is a matter of making educated choices. Instead of trying to have as little impact as possible, I want to have a huge impact. I want to leave behind millions of trees, a bunch of ponds, enriched soil, and wild stories.

    If the goal of environmentalists is to have no impact, then the best thing they could do would be to die- that would have the least impact. Even in death, though, their body will feed the soil. We are having an impact no matter what. Make it one that you are proud of. If you are not sure how to do that, then listen closely to the world. Look at nature everywhere you go and see what is happening. Learn to identify plants and trees so that you can actually read the story being told by the world, not the news. If you seek a path forward, you will find it. Nature is talking loudly all the time; you have just been domesticated and conditioned not to hear her. Learn as much as you can about trees, plants, animals, fungi, and ecosystems, and you will see so many places where you can step in and become a powerful positive force.”

    -Akiva Silver from his book titled “Trees of Power: Ten Essential Arboreal Allies”

      I came here to post the news and was thrilled to see that you already did.

  22. Texas will soon allow pharmacists to dispense Ivermectin without a prescription from a physician, raising fears of compromised patient safety.
    https://www.texmed.org/Template.aspx?id=66854

    EXCERPTS
    House Bill 25 authorizes Texas pharmacists to distribute ivermectin “without requiring a prescription order from a licensed health care practitioner,” further elaborating in the bill’s text that “a pharmacist acting in a reasonably prudent manner is not criminally or civilly liable or subject to professional disciplinary action for dispensing ivermectin.”

    The bill, which goes into effect Dec. 4, calls for pharmacists to adhere to “any written standardized procedures or protocols issued by the Texas State Board of Pharmacy,” including providing instructions on proper use, upon dispensing.

    Texas Medical Association staff was not aware of any such guidance from the board as of this writing but pointed out state agency rulemaking typically incorporates a 30-day comment period. Staff also said that while the law did not specify how pharmacies would distribute ivermectin, it implies the drug will be kept behind the pharmacist’s counter and available upon request, rather than being stocked on shelves….

    • A person can walk into any Tractor Supply store in Texas and buy tubes of Ivermectin off the Equestrian Supply aisle, no questions asked.

    Sacrificed to the System
    Posted on November 8, 2025 by winter oak

    https://winteroak.org.uk/2025/11/08/sacrificed-to-the-system/

    Lyrics
    Old soldier, old soldier
    Oh why d’you wear that frown?
    Old soldier, old soldier
    What news has brought you down?

    Oh young man, dear young man
    For decades now I’ve been
    Disheartened and dejected
    By the things that I have seen

    Old soldier, old soldier
    Oh won’t you tell me more?
    Old soldier, old soldier
    A hero of the war!

    Oh young man, dear young man
    No glory did I see
    Just months and years of suffering
    And mindless butchery

    Old soldier, old soldier
    Stay quiet then if you must
    But I’ll always remember that
    Your cause was oh-so just

    Oh young man, dear young man
    Such trust shines in your eyes
    But all of their fine words were just
    A stinking heap of lies

    They told us, enrolled us
    To fight for liberty
    But all that controlled us
    Was venal usury

    They piled up vast profits
    While others paid the price
    The millions who were slaughtered
    In their devilish sacrifice

    Old soldier, old soldier
    Please say it isn’t so
    Our country is at war again
    And I intend to go

    Oh young man, dear young man
    If you want to do what’s right
    The bankers are the bleeders that
    You really ought to fight!

  24. So, I watched yesterday’s IMA. James pointed out the cultural awareness of “papers, please” and said there’s not an acceptable digital equivalent.

    Well, there is something close that comes from, of all places, Star Wars.

    After the empire forms and the separatists are crushed, the empire immediately implements a digital ID system where everyone has to get what are called “chain codes.” This is made prominent in early episodes of one of the better Star Wars show, The Bad Batch.

    Just thought I’d point that out.

  25. I really liked the short you guys released on YouTube this morning with Tim Lacey, and different, hilarious artistic interpretations of Corbett, sitting at a table in “Greece” (not really) to promote Reportage.
    So adorable!
    Love it

  26. Hello, Mr. Corbett. Would you be able to quantify the difference between a Neocon in America and Russia, for example.

  27. Hey everyone, I am writing an article about the war racketeering propaganda of “remembrance day”and hoping to crowd source figuring out what is going on with this article and The Way Back Machine on Archive dot org.

    The article I am trying to get a back up of via way back machine is this:

    “Military leaders saw pandemic as unique opportunity to test propaganda on Canadians”

    https://nationalpost.com/news/national/defence-watch/military-leaders-saw-pandemic-as-unique-opportunity-to-test-propaganda-techniques-on-canadians-forces-report-says

    When I try to get a way back machine archived link to that article archive dot org says:

    “Sorry.
    This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine.”

    Do you think they got some pressure for government to take that particular one down and capitulated, or am I just a low tech gardening guy missing something here?

    Thanks in advance for your time.

  28. There is no honor in organized tax payer funded murder for profit – War Is Still A Racket

    https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/war-is-a-racketeering-operation

    On November 11th, a day when we have been conditioned to glorify war as “necessary and honorable” the above in depth article invites the reader to take an honest look at the true nature of (and profiteers) of Modern Warfare

    • Did you know that the military-industrial complex has psychological operations in schools and via video games designed to desensitize children to brutal violence from a young age so they can turn them into effective, obedient, ruthless killing machines?

      Just turn on the tv or take a look at any of the first-person video games the kids are playing nowadays and you will see exactly what I mean.

      In both Canada and the US military send specialized psychological warfare experts to gaslight children into thinking about joining the military in schools.

      People are resisting the military recruitment of children in schools, however, now that teens have their own phones, recruiters have direct access to them – following them on social media, texting and emailing them privately – and have access to their friends in the process. Because of this, parental oversight is circumvented and a family’s privacy rights are ignored. Recruiters not only gain access to student’s through their phones, but through ‘surveys’ and sign up sheets, where they ask questions such as “citizenship status?” and other confidential information.

      Recruiters online tactics can be dubious. For one example, around July 15, 2020, the Army’s Esports team on Twitch advertised a fake giveaway foran Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, valued at more than $200. When clicked, animated giveaway advertisements in the Army’s Twitch stream chat boxes led users to a recruiting web form with no mention of any giveaway.

      Mark Carney, recently stated that the current budget sets out $20.4 billion (of tax payer money coerced from your pockets and my pocket) over 5 years for military recruitment and retention.

      That means money stolen from you and I using violent coercion (aka taxation) will be used to create propaganda material pushed into school classrooms, disseminated on TV, Social Media and into children’s video games.

      The federal government has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars advertising on the Xbox video game system, which connects online and includes ads.

      The Department of National Defence and Canadian Armed Forces spent $200,000 advertising on Xbox static in-game ads in the spring of 2008 as part of a “national recruitment campaign” in the midst of Canada’s military mission in Afghanistan.

      Since then they have spent millions more and pushed their targeted ads into games like Call Of Duty (so that when kids are playing violent video games getting excited about shooting the bad guys, an add will pop up telling them that the Armed Forces will pay them to do the same fun activity).

      The purpose of the advertising was to “Reach and engage our core target (young males 18-24) through in-game advertising” the documents say. Specifically, the target audience was “18-24 year olds, male & female, looking for adventure & excitement”

  31. Karolina Opolska, Polish “investigative journalist” working for National Polish Television (TVP). Basically something exactly like BBC, a government controlled media funded through mandatory TV license.
    She has written a book called “Teoria Spisku” (A theory of conspiracy), she was caught red handed falsifying sources and using Chat GPT, every literary and media critic have been calling her out on that. And I keep wondering if it’s a deliberate attempt to target and discredit legitimate and factually correct conspiracy publications such as “Reportage” by James Corbett?

  32. US law enforcement could get Israeli hacking tools from NSO Group, maker of Pegasus spyware?

    Hollywood Producer Buys Israeli NSO Spyware Maker, Hires David Friedman to Sell Hacking Tools to U.S.

    Excerpt:
    “Hollywood producer Robert Simonds has purchased the Israeli spyware maker NSO Group to bring it under “American” control and hired Trump’s former Ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, to lobby the president to remove sanctions on the firm so they can sell their hacking tools to US law enforcement.

    “Though the company was sold to a consortium of alleged “Americans” led by Simonds, the NSO Group “said Sunday that it would continue to operate from Israel under the full regulatory authority of the Defense Ministry, as it expands its global footprint and seeks to resume operations in the US,” the Times of Israel reports.”

  33. Does anyone know how to adjust your account so you get emails if someone replies to your comments? When I renewed my subscription, that feature seems to have gone away.

    • I think the feature still exists, though it does not seem to be accessible when I go to “account” in the top right for me right now.

      That said, each time I comment on a new thread it gives me the option to either get notifications on replies to my comments or not.

      Hope that helps.

  34. Short video of me Saving Heirloom and Medicinal seeds from the garden/forest 2025

    https://odysee.com/@recipes4reciprocity:e/Saving-Heirloom-and-Medicinal-seeds2025:6

    In this short video/post I share info on some of the seeds I am saving/sorting today, describe an offer get some of these seeds with links to learn more on each variety.

    I just wanted to give you guys a little sneak peak into my seed saving practice and share a story and some info on the seeds I happened to be gathering, drying and sorting today from the garden today.

    Saving and sorting seeds is a much needed therapeutic practice for me especially now, offering a reprieve from the extensive researching / writing I recently did about modern industrial civilization.

    Running the seed pods between my finger unlocking stimulating fragrances (from seed pods like tulsi, lemon balm, basil and lemon balm) and releasing the tiny living embryos (seeds) filled with ancient memory and potential.

    Holding them in my hands , saying a prayer and then packaging them up to be gifted between the pages of copies of my book ordered as a surprise for readers to discover when they open up the pages.

    I find this process so nourishing to the soul.

    If you are interesting in me sending you any of the seeds shown in the video above (except the Ramp seeds, which I have planned to be planted as part of a local bio-cultural refugia/community food forest project) check out the link in the next comment below to find out where you can order my book, send me an email or drop a comment letting me know what seeds from the video you want sent with your copy of my book and i’ll send some your way!
