<\/a>Power of Nightmares dvd<\/p><\/div>\n
We remember watching an interesting BBC program called “The Power of Nightmares.”\u00a0 This was a 3 part series that explored what happened at the end of the Cold War.\u00a0 The Anglo-British Empire, now without an enemy, physical or ideological, was desperate to shore up what could have been a disastrous collapse of their military-industrial complex and the billions of dollars being made from it.\u00a0 So an enemy was basically “created” out of a small group of radical Muslims.\u00a0 This group, originally called “Muhajadeem” freedom fighters, was financed by America and Britain to overthrow the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.\u00a0 After the Soviets were defeated, the CIA, and the other alphabet soup agencies labeled these rag-tag fighters as a big threat to the Anglo-American Empire, and a huge program of wars, armaments, and military adventures followed, still continuing to this day.\u00a0 One of the early Arab rebels who wrote books condemning the dictatorship in Egypt, was a school teacher named Khatab.\u00a0 He came to the United States in the 1950s as an exchange student.<\/p>\n

The things he saw and disapproved of are of no importance to this website, with one exception.\u00a0 He made a brilliant observation about Americans and their obsessive love for their lawns.\u00a0 It’s one of those things that one sees everyday, but it is so pervasive and common, that it goes unnoticed.\u00a0 When is the last time you have thought about the subject? Probably never.\u00a0 But when you really think about it, why in the world should everyone have a lawn?\u00a0 It makes no sense.\u00a0 It is a huge waste of space, a waste of billions of gallons of water across the country to keep the grass “green”, and it has led to the\u00a0 immigration into the U.S. of millions of illegal immigrants, armies of them, employed to mow, trim, water, and care for our stupid lawns.\u00a0 (Click here to read the article on the History of Lawns)<\/a><\/p>\n Lawns were not an issue until some Gardening Clubs, probably egged on by corporate interests launched a massive campaign to promote lawns.\u00a0 Here’s a snip from the History of Lawns:<\/p>\n It wasn’t until The American Garden Club stepped in. Through contests and other forms of publicity, they convinced home owners that it was their civic duty to maintain a beautiful and healthy lawn. So effective was the club’s campaign that lawns were soon the accepted form of landscaping. The garden club further stipulated that the appropriate type of lawn was “a plot with a single type of grass with no intruding weeds, kept mown at a height of an inch and a half, uniformly green, and neatly edged.” America thus entered the age of lawn care.<\/em><\/p>\n America now spends over 17 billion dollars on outdoor home improvements, much of it for lawns.\u00a0 The idea of lawns is so pervasive that if you don’t have one, many municipalities will actually cite you and fine you for not keeping a nice lawn.\u00a0 The “Lawn Police” patrol neighborhoods looking for poorly kept lawns or someone who would dare to put a food garden in their front yard. This is actually insane behavior.\u00a0 It is also a violation of basic private property rights.\u00a0 We are now living in a gigantic nut house, our mad overlords have created what news pundit Alex Jones calls a “Prison Planet”.<\/p>\n Yet, with looming food shortages, shouldn’t we be planting our front yards with food gardens and fruit trees?\u00a0 It would be a much better use of the land than a wasteful lawn, that sucks up water and maintenance for no reason.\u00a0 The so-called “gardeners” who come out every week to mow the lawns could be put to better use in planting food.\u00a0 Or better yet, Americans could get off their fat asses and do it themselves.\u00a0 Maybe the threat of starvation will do it.\u00a0 But first they will have to repeal all the thousands of municipal ordinances that prohibit front yard food gardens.\u00a0 Click here to access the Front Yard Food Garden site.<\/a><\/p>\n YardEats.com also explores new technology and ways to grow food, such as “bucket gardening,” and “mobile gardening.”\u00a0 People living in apartments and condos should be doing some food growing.\u00a0 We are also proponents of returning to the days when America had a seven year food supply, called a Strategic Food Supply, just in case.\u00a0 It will have to be a much fatter supply for seven years, just to feed all the illegal “gardeners” who are making a living from lawn care.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What You Will Learn at YardEats.com by Paul Hart & Juliet Webster YardEats.com is a site that will inform you of many relevant topics about food and health.\u00a0 We are especially interested in the movement to plant gardens in front … Continue reading <\/a><\/p>\n
