Excellent and comprehensive coverage.
British farmers have been paid not to produce food for some time now. They call it set aside, first introduced by the EU in 1988. Another name for it is rewilding and it is accelerating.
The globalist elitists (WEF, Club of Rome, UN) want (as far as possible) to return the world to its natural, pre agriculture state.
George Monbiot in The Guardian.
‘Ecological restoration can be a powerful means of protecting the atmosphere – we need to rewild on a massive scale
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/apr/03/natural-world-climate-catastrophe-rewilding
This would entail massive depopulation
“Curbing population growth” by Dr Vandana Shivaji (Club of Rome member)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29fQSY6OVsY
The Club of Rome was set up to reduce human activity and CO2 reduction is the means chosen to achieve that. The elite hate CO2 because CO2 creates plants and plants create humans. They don’t like humans.
Not sure if that’s pre agriculture state, but it certainly is pre people state.
@mkey
Well said.
It is worth noting that people were growing an abundance of diverse foods in pre-agricultural cultures (and in a way that seamlessly blended with the bio-diversity of climax forest ecosystems).
I have studied examples of those kinds of advanced horticultural systems on three separate continents that have persisted for millennia (producing an abundance of food and medicine for humans, without decimating native flora, fauna, and without creating soil erosion and destabilisation of the water cycle, as modern industrial agriculture does).
These were “pre-agricultural” but not pre-people ecosystems, in fact, in many cases ecologists argue that the presence of people actually increased the soil depth, biodiversity, water table stability and beauty of the regions where that type of food forest gardening was being practiced.
In this post https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/are-there-limits-to-growth I proposed what may sound like a radical proposition to some nature lovers and environmentalist activists out there that may have been conditioned to subconsciously embrace a quasi-misanthropic view of humanity and our place on this world (those that ascribe to the “eden ecology” model and think of re-wilding as the process of removing the “bad messy humans” from the equation to improve ecosystems.
I do not advocate lessening our impact on the natural world. I think we should increase our impact on the more than human world ten fold.
We can use these human hands to proliferate amazing abundance, becoming an asset to the Earth and making her feel grateful for our presence.
I think we should use these amazing human hands and powerful brains that God gave us to have a huge impact, like the people of the Amazon did when they created the Terra Preta soils that allowed them to co-create the giant food forests of the Amazon jungle that have persisted for 4500 years.
Instead of internalizing the false idea that portrays humans like a plague or a cancer on the Earth, I advocate we instead use our free will (and the sentience that so many humans covetously claim is unique to our species) to instead choose to define ourselves as co-creators of beauty, abundance and diversity.
Our ancient ancestors have shown us by example that it is possible to become a positive force for impacting nature in a way that honors and nurtures life, rather than defining our selves as takers, users and consumers.
Destruction and degeneration are not inevitable. Humans are not inherently parasitic and extractive as the anti-human globalist propaganda implies.
Humans have the capability of either being takers/consumers (extracting from the Earth but giving nothing back) or givers (living within a web of reciprocal gift exchanges).
Both choices can be observed in individuals in our lives and cultures throughout history. I believe it is up to us to choose which path our communities embark upon at this fork in the road.
Terra preta, the holy grail of permaculture. I assume they added a lot of charcoal to the soil, that would be a great start.
@mkey
Yup, charcoal, combined with biodiverse compost = “Biochar” and that stuff is worth more than gold as far as I am concerned. It persists for centuries, literally sends out biological regenerative ripple effects into surrounding soil improving tilth, water retention and populations of microbes that increase plants ability to photosynthesize and it is easy and cheap to make.
I like to have big raging camp fires where I roast peppers and stuff for making next level hot sauces and then at the end of the night I throw some rain water on the fire to leave some non-combusted carbonized wood material (charcoal) and then I bust that stuff up and add to my compost piles in layers.
I also just throw it into planting holes for trees and man does it make a difference. Drought tolerance and over all vigor of seedlings increases significantly with a little biochar.
thanks for the comment my friend.
It was mentioned often that a burnt forest would revitilize an area, and I always assumed it was only due to high growth making way to everything else. But then I learned about bio charcoal and how people add it the soil, after boosting it in some compost.
The eternal cycle, both starting and ending in a fire.
@mkey
I used to have a similar view of the process and I remember discussing this subject matter with you a couple years ago https://corbettreport.com/july-open-thread-2022/#comment-137298
I have learned a lot about both the ecological function of natural forest/grass/brush fires as well as ancient regenerative ecosystem management practices (that involve anthropogenic landscapes that are cyclically enriched and shaped by humans using fire as a tool to intentionally increase biodiversity, soil water retention capacity and soil fertility over large spans of time.) since then.
The Mayans used fire as part of their Milpa crop rotation system (where they would manage large areas of tropical forest using simple tools for cutting foliage and wood up, using controlled burns to produce charcoal, then grazing animals on the resulting vibrant green growth after a rain, and allowing the animal’s dung to enrich the charcoal which they then turned into the soil as (biochar) and then planted annual crops like corn, beans, squash, peppers and others. After five years or so they would allow that zone to transition into a young food forest growing lime tree, cacao tree and other tree seedlings moving onward to another zone so there were always some areas producing annuals and some areas regenerating forest and some areas of productive food forest.
The more I read of the early missionary journals of Jesuit priests and french military officers that arrived here in the Eastern woodlands of Turtle Island a few hundred years ago the more I am seeing how similar the use of fire as a regenerative tool for managing entire ecosystems was (utilized by the indigenous horticultural experts here for centuries). They engaged in a similar rotation of cultivating land after cutting up biomass, burning and composting to create biochar and then growing their “three sisters” for a few years before transitioning that space into a place for berry shrubs, medicinal perennials and young nut and fruit tree seedlings. In the case of our bioregion that meant, things like elderberry, wild Canadian ginger, haskap berries, blueberries, echinacea, service berries and other berries making way for Shagbark hickory nut trees, walnut trees, paw paw trees, crabapples and other fruit and nut trees that become long term multilayered food production systems.
The priests and military officers remarked in their journals how “lazy and aloof” the indigenous people were in their methods of farming and how they did not have to work as hard, yet they gathered many baskets of nuts, fruit, berries and medicine herbs with ease. Somehow that was looked upon as a bad thing and meant they were “lazy savages” ..the idiocy of people with superiority complexes.. While their writings are often colored with ignorance and arrogance, their first hand accounts speak volumes to the immense potential of revitalizing some of those forest gardening practices to feed ourselves and our communities today.
Enlightening. Thanks for taking the time.
Thanks. That’s fascinating. I had no idea.
George Monbiot has expressed his hatred of farming on countless occasions. This article outlines the principles of anarcho primitivism which takes the view that humans should live and eat cyclically with the seasons like animals leaving no trace. Hunter gatherers in other words.
Progress is dangerous (brilliant essay)
http://www.monbiot.com/archives/2005/03/22/god-of-the-soil/
“The Club of Rome was set up to reduce human activity and CO2 reduction is the means chosen to achieve that. The elite hate CO2 because CO2 creates plants and plants create humans. They don’t like humans.”
I had to take a screen shot of that because it’s so pithy.
@loggin
Thanks for the links and thanks for sharing your perspectives on “re-wilding” initiatives. I have observed quite a few well meaning environmentalist activists and government funded ecologists that subscribe to the incomplete and skewed tenets of the “eden ecology” model (I discussed this further in a comment above to mkey). The believe system such people have invested themselves in is based upon an incomplete and misanthropic worldview that fails to include an awareness of advanced pre-agricultural food production systems that existed on Turtle Island (what is now called “north america”), South America and in North Africa which involved anthropogenic forest ecosystems that were created by indigenous horticultural experts (also elaborated on in the comment above).
I feel it is important to not conflate ecological restoration as a whole with schemes that involve removing human influence from the land. While some that ascribe to “eden ecology” thinking may say that restoration involves a lack of human interaction, that is only one view of the process (and it is a view that is based on ignorance as to the regenerative potential influences that humans can have on the land when they are educated and aligning their food production systems with biodiversity, rather than creating monoculture deserts that destroy soil, the water cycle and food quality).
I engage in ecological restoration projects (creating what I call Refugia for endangered tree species that provide medicine and food which I invite people to forage in, save seed from and create community food forests). Those projects restore habitat for native animals and re-populate endangered tree species while also feeding humans.
In case you are unfamiliar with the concept of ancient food forest design and regenerative ecosystem management/restoration (which not only involves human habitation and producing food for humans on the land, it actually necessitates human presence and participation) here is some pertinent information on the subject.
Here are some examples of when cultures decided to use their genius, technology, horticultural/botanical knowledge and ecological literacy to define themselves as givers living within a web of reciprocal gift exchanges (having a huge positive impact on the ecosystems around them) rather than defining themselves as exploiters and takers (as many modern monoculture chemical industrial agricultural practices do):

Recently, a friend lent us a book called Henry and the Great Society. We read a chapter each night at dinner with the kids and it was a very effective story that tells how a self-sufficient farmer named Henry is slowly lured into the debt system, resulting in his trading his freedom for reliance on the grocery stores and becoming a factory worker to pay off debt. It made such an impact on our thinking that I consider it a must-read for anybody, especially with their kids. It’s a great way to shape kids’ thinking – my kids have referenced Henry more than other books we’ve read.
If Amazon pricing is any indication of importance, a used copy is $102. I’ve asked my friend where she got her copy, and will share her source if it’s cheaper. And if anyone can find a way to read it for free online, please comment.
Found a homeschool curriculum website that sells it for $5. https://www.milestonebooks.com/item/2-0220/
I believe this is the novel you are referencing.

In 1970, Henry Kissinger said: “Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control people.”

Unfortunately the bad guys have had the plan going for a very long time. The consequence of the wrong use of psychological conditioning of Bernays, Freud, Skinner, Pavlov and who knows what DARPA has come up with their huge budgets and hidden behavior and controlling the population into celeb and shiny things worship, digital “friends” acquisition and the need to be “liked” fearing cancellation from unseen others.
Until about 2020 we were able to grow a most anything in our 1/4 acre or so garden. The increase of the Chemtrail/Weather War program devastated it all. UV topping off over 13 everyday from May to October or so. Can’t even grow Zucchini which grows ‘bout anywhere.
20 plus years that I am aware of of all the Chemtrail chemicals has made all but tiny home gardening with sun covers, etc. possible up here in the 5500 foot range AZ White Mountains and far too expensive and energy consuming to go larger for seniors on SS.
With the destruction of national food production, poultry, beef, supplies, alternative medicine, etc. they have us where they want us. Might not be fighting the “bad guys” in the near future but our own neighbors for food. The bottom line to all this IMO will always be family and local behavior to take down those who are profiting off of our scheduled demise.
If the Democrats pull off another election steal we will be in an an apocalyptic world in a year or so after as their greed and power pathological drive has no limits.
DO YOU THINK WE’RE GONNA LAST
https://old.bitchute.com/video/Kykg3jVHnrU4/
Why are these foods still available in the stores? They must grow outside, too. Do you have more chemtrails than the rest of the world?
I agree there is something really unnatural and shady going on, but I really, really don’t understand how this links to party politics.
I am not sure just why but 99% of ANY comments to me here are snarky and ragging on me??
If you don’t understand world politics then you haven’t been paying attention to all the great info provided here by James and commenters.
The Kissinger quote should be a big clue.
There is an intentional effort to take command and control over humanity by very nefarious groups and others. That is why the demise of quality of water, air, communication, supply chains, etc. has been going on.
And there is mostly only the “uniparty” in congress and the donkey party has proven to have socialist and communist driven agendas, with the Elephant party mostly weak and sold out as well.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

WHO WANTS US TO DIE (song)
https://old.bitchute.com/video/8CKubpwla5Lr/
I see most of the bad things you mention, but I see the blame going to people of all parties, and maybe some who are non-affilliated.
At the risk of being called snarky, I sincerely ask, Why is your farm so unsuccessful, while there is still food, abundantly available in the stores?
Don’t have a farm. Just had a huge garden on part of our 47 acres that was a joy to grow things and share with neighbors and some Elk and Deer that would break through the fencing.
Why don’t you give YOUR opinion on why professional agriculture can supply so much food? Why ask me, that’s nothing I mentioned?
You know, having a conversation.
Why not make a comment about my song?
Why not pay attention to what I said about ALL parties?
Why not see ALL the bad things I mentioned, they are all there?
I’m not a big fan of this comment box chatter that so many die for on all the blogs/sites. Too shallow and ego driven (not you) but others here know. That need to be liked and get upvotes and followers.
It is quite incredible that you are the one to call out out others for ego driven and snarky commentary. Remarkable.
I do not condone few of the commentators who keep bating you while fully understaning why they are doing it.
I do believe Hanky, in the comment two steps above this one, employed a metaphor, albeit a snarky one. Snarky Hanky, that’s how he rolls.
It is not incredible, just scary to most of you. I’m not from your world, I don’t dance in your pop culture behavior, nor admire your heroes.
I truly don’t care if I am liked or not. I am much like a visting cultural anthropologist and just point out truths and one is all most of you can do is rag on me 🙂 You can’t even converse enough to tell me why your think others do it.
I’m the real deal, authentic. Been shot at, phone tapped, tailed and more. As if I could care about the nonsense comments made to me here :-))
I have been offering my observations of this reality here for 15 years off and on. I’m banned at a dozen or so sites.
Just a side note. I am writing this on my customized iBook G4 and just finished a carb rebuild on my motorcycle today, been a good day 🙂
I listened to your song. I also listened to the other ones, previously linked, in months past. They are generally quite good.
Do I think we are gonna last? It seems like that is definitely up in the air these days. The question is, is there anything that we can do to make things better?
I know that my habitual lack of tactfulness can be annoying. I apologize for aggravating you with the food questions. It seemed like you knew that chemtrails destroyed your crops. I tend to question the particulars of a lot of things. I too despise chemtrails, but I know that I don’t know many vital details about the subject. My question was not meant to be sarcastic, maybe you know something concrete about the subject that we can learn from.
I am not sure what I said in this thread that was metaphoric. The most alarming trends seem to be endorsed by powerful parties from different political parties, businesses and bureaucracies. Technocracy, scientism, woke businesses, celebrity culture, war machine, gov’t secrecy…We are constantly being tempted to demonize political opponents. Polarization, paralyzation. We end up making mistakes in ‘the fog of war.’
I’m replying to your last post but up here because the reply boxes are shrinking 🙂
>>I listened to your song. I also listened to the other ones, previously linked, in months past. They are generally quite good.>>
Did you leave any comments, upvotes to help support a fellow evolutionary’s effort at bringing truth to humankind, no. That is part of the success of the controller’s effort to keep us apart. Even trying to offer a sort of complement you need to not commit to anything but “generally.” Do you get it? The inability of a couple of generations of folks to behave within the lines.

Independent tests across the U. S. have shown chemtrails to contain the following substances:
Aluminum (known to cause tinnitus)
Arsenic,
Barium salts,

Chemtrails are to the Earth’s ecosystems what cigarette smoking is to our bodies…harbingers of death.

I have no uncertainty of the situation the world is in. Quite the opposite, I possess the “bigger picture” on most things sociological and psychological. Hence I call my music, essays, etc. Brain Food, not ear candy.
The most difficult challenge for me is brilliant but pathological controllers have through generations of effort created a cartoonification of life, stealing the joy, sacredness, and good from most of it. Not all, but far too many cling to their cognitive and confirmation bias lies and distortions of reality propagandized by the controllers. A clickbait world of clever deception.
Excellent post, James.
We really need to take the “self” out of “self-sufficiency,” because we can’t get off the grid alone. It’s all about community and what each member can contribute. In my community garden here in Osaka, there are a few “elders” that everyone consults because they just seem to hit the mark every season. There is a Watermelon Master. There is a Tomato Master. And our matriarch is an 82-year-old woman who is the Seed Master. And when you know how to bring a plant to flower and collect the seeds, you enter a cycle of real “self” sufficiency. But you cannot do it alone. You also need a rancher, a bee keeper, a candle maker and so on and so on.

Here is something that I created (2007)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK4tOjnuUhQ
I don’t really know what to do, at least for a quick and satisfying fix. I am starting to actually become ironically optimistic, in an unprovable philosophical way. I have experienced so much healing in the second part of my life, with things that are supposed to be impossible, that I wonder if the body politic may have similar hidden possibilities. If they do, it will take generations to see acceptable results. Of course, as with my own body, we would have to learn some new things about the deeper ways of healing and restoration. And accordingly change what we have been doing…
I consider you an ally, in the big picture. So, I don’t want to nitpick on less important differences now.
I am here because I resonate with James’ way of teasing out the truth, which involves a detailed and skeptical approach. This can easily rankle the impatient, and those of us who swallow alternative narratives, whole cloth.
I see some brilliance in your music, but if it really moved me, I would not hold back from gushing in comments. They are, as you say, essays above entertainment, and that is not what I was in the mood for. They are good, but not better than Corbett’s work. I guess I am currently pretty sated on essays about our bizarre condition, as a country and a species. I lean towards irony and humor in my songs.
If you want to talk more about music, that would be great, but only in a more private venue. [SNIP – no email addresses in the comments, please. If anyone wants to email you they can get in touch with me. -JC] for starters.
Lots of information in a short time, but James does a great job in sharing all of his sources.
For those of us that live in the US, you can check out farmmatch.com. On this site you can put in your zip code and it will show you farmers in your area where you can buy produce and meat. We have an Amish farmer near us that sells raw milk as well as grass fed beef, chicken and pork. I will not eat ze bugz!
Texas – Industrial Hemp for Food, Fiber, Fuel and Material Products

September 1, 2024 – Dallas Express – By Joe Edwards
Texas Grapples with Hemp vs. Marijuana Laws
https://dallasexpress.com/state/texas-grapples-with-hemp-vs-marijuana-laws/
EXCERPTS
… “The future of cannabis in Texas remains uncertain, largely due to ongoing confusion between hemp and regulated THC cannabis. For whatever reason, elected officials have been misled into believing that hemp is somehow different from cannabis. The fact is that hemp and cannabis are different varieties of the same plant and can be equally potent,” Jason Vedadi, the CEO of Story Cannabis, told The Dallas Express…
… Currently, Texas permits the sale of hemp, a variant of cannabis with less than 0.3% delta-9 THC, the psychoactive component responsible for a user’s high. The intent behind this legal distinction is clear: hemp should be nonintoxicating.
However, recent investigations into the Texas hemp market challenge this notion.
Russell Gold, a senior editor at Texas Monthly, found during his own hands-on research that products sold at hemp dispensaries across Texas, ranging from Dallas to Houston, often exceed legal THC limits….
– Anecdote –
In the above comment about Hemp, the video comes from Dylan Bures.
Dylan Bures has another video on his channel about the San Gabriel River just north of Austin.
In the early 1970’s, my college town had the San Gabriel River run through it.
The backroads would weave their way to low-water crossings of concrete. My friends and I called them boodies. In nice weather, we often would meet at the third or fourth boodie. Sometimes we would spend the night, lying on the rocks looking up at the stars. Not camping, just sleeping in our clothes. You could see the springs alongside the river which helped to feed the river. Eventually, they built a lake where we once played.
One time, the San Gabriel had a massive flood. My college friend Michael and I had this harebrained idea to tube down the river during the flood. We got a couple of tire inner tubes and drove upstream. We took off into the water. Pretty soon, we were navigating through trees and going over small dams, but you couldn’t tell that the damn was there. The water got wild. I remember weaving through some waves which were two to three feet high, and thinking my Mom would blaze my butt if she knew how dangerous this was. Eventually, we knew a bridge was coming up but likely the water was going over the bridge. We decided we better get to shore, ‘cuz it was getting intense. We didn’t want to get caught or sucked under. I look back on that event, and think how stupid I was.

Texas is running out of water, Agriculture Commissioner warns | Sid Miller full interview
13 minutes

Texas is losing water. And the problems facing our state now and into the future are real, and getting worse.
“We lose about a farm a week in Texas, but it’s 700 years before we run out of land. The limiting factor is water. We’re out of water, especially in the Rio Grande Valley,” Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller told us on Inside Texas Politics.
The Ag Commissioner cites many different examples of food farming that bit the dust. (Pecos cantalope, sugar cane, citrus, rice.)
Old Texan codger Sid says, “Last year, it probably would shock your listeners to know that we bought $16 billion more food than we exported… …And we haven’t done that in the past. Never done that. Not in my lifetime.”
They also talk about the BioSolid Sludge Fertilizer and PFAS at the tail end of the interview.

In hydrology, your ground water often follows the topography.
The Permaculture fella also talked about applying Volcanic Basalt Rock Dust.

India’s Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced the implementation of DPI (Digital Public Infrastructure) for agriculture in the Union Budget 2024-25. The approved Digital Agriculture Mission will receive a total public funding of US$335.36 million, which includes $230.95 million from the central (federal) government.
Through the AgriStack initiative, each farmer will receive a unique digital identifier, similar to the Aadhaar system.
The digital identifier will be connected to various personal and farming-related information, including land records, livestock ownership, crops grown, and benefits received.
The Kisan Ki Pehchaan digital identity system will be introduced in a phased manner to cover 60 million farmers by March 2025. The government’s long-term plan is to extend the system to all 110 million farmers within three years.
The government is emphasizing a farmer-centric DPI to enhance the efficiency of agricultural governance. Connecting farmer IDs with government and private agencies will improve the delivery of services such as subsidies, crop insurance, and agricultural loans.
AgriStack is part of the Farmer ID initiative, which includes other components, such as geo-referenced village maps and digital crop surveys.
The government has initiated pilot projects in six states to assess the establishment of these digital identities and the effectiveness of the digital crop survey system….

Great work! Thanks. I would highly recommend people to check out Paul Chek (the OG of holistic health) and his book How to Eat, Move and Be Healthy.
