This is just an overview, brief but to the point.

whats terrifying about this conspiracy is that its

people simple accept it as fact.

The spice of life

          Most people give very little thought to how the world was constructed, being contented in living in it and taking part in its many pleasures and sorrows. But for the few that do it is fascinating to think that gardeners, and their plants have been the driving force behind our race. Most often driven by our stomachs humanity must feed them, with what? Plant life, and animal life dependent on plant life. So the question remains on how this has impacted the world? Well thousands of years ago in the fertile crescent in parts of Asia, and atop the highest mountains in the Americas there were gardeners. People that manipulated the soil, the waters of the region, and the plant life it produced to create life sustaining foodstuffs that allowed civilizations to grow, armies to march,and the oceans to be spanned. While in this blog the beginnings will be looked at in the following weeks at the moment we'll start at the end and work our way back. Globalization it began with a vine. The empires which dominated and eventually became the world we know today began with the sailing ships upon the seas. But why would these empires exert themselves by producing vast fleets, ultimately exhausting their timber, and placing enormous amounts of financial risks on themselves through allowing their peoples to further encourage such endeavors? The answer is a spice. A flavor which invigorated their bland grains, and meats into zesty robustly flavored confections. The people adored them, and the people demanded them. Profit was the point, the high prices they brought meant taxes, money in the empires coffer. And so it began The spice trade was born, and humanity connected because of the flavor of plant life. The indies produces cumin, bay leaf, cinnamon, ginger, garlic, and perhaps one of the most influential of all Pepper. Black, white, what did it matter, well beloved it added a flavor to every meal. To this day its in every house, right next to the salt shaker. Now common it was once a prized commodity that held a high price and drove global commerce. uniting humanity for the first time in thousands of years in totality. Be it good or bad it encouraged cultural exchange, built the glorious west, even if the east fell as an effect, and led to the discovery of a continent  and set of civilizations isolated from the world for ten thousand years. And it will even make you sneeze.

Bodies to the Dust

 This poem is one of my favorites, its rather dark in some instances but is fantastic in its display of human mortality and the fading greatness that comes from even the greatest of feats, so is the journey of mankind. Be it with half forgotten memories of cruelty to the remaining desolation in our wake.

Please provide further insight and give me thoughts and opinions

Ozymandias: by Percy Bysshe Shelley

I met a traveller from an antique land

Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.

And on the pedestal these words appear --

‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:

Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

The President Who Told The TRUTH!!!

Ode to the all mighty dollar

long may she stand

may she unite through an iron fist 

 may she control the scurrying masses

for humanity cannot stir itself through

its unconquerable ignorance

let us hope her dollar can

so long as the wise manage it well

New world order

     New world order. The root of some of the most influential conspiracies that exist in the world today. The question is does it exist? If so which of the groups is truly behind the various accusations made in its attempts in doing so? And is this organizations plan for a new world order actually working? Here are a few names, all groups which all follow similar directions and were all joined by some of the most influential people in world government and economy. The Illuminati, the free masons, the Nomads of Zurich, the Tarsus group. All accused of manipulating the worlds most influential systems and pulling the strings behind the curtains. Wars for the past half a millennium or more the means of their progression and extension of influence. The Spanish American caused by the accidental explosion of the battle ship Maine, WW1 started because the destruction of the "Listmania" which purely a passenger liner?/the so called Zimmerman telegrams, pear harbor and the destruction of a conveniently lined up/out dated pacific fleet which relayed a message to washing ton that it would be destroyed? As the Japanese believed it dishonorable to attack an opponent who was unaware. Yet the U.S did nothing at all to counter it, nothing! 911 was a staged destruction, efficiently and professionally demolished for the purpose of beginning a conflict in the middle east, particularly Iraq which, Al Qaeda was "most heavily based in" when in actuality it was Sadi Arabia and Afghanistan which the terrorist group was based in and the latter we went after once Iraq was taken. The goal here folks in either case the allocation of resources for the west. Iraq immense oil reserves, Afghanistan one of the largest untapped supplies in the world/the world supply of poppies opium, anesthetics. Who benefits? Oil companies, prices rise, global economy shifts, the wealthiest most influential groups/people take advantage of a worlds suffering economy through the allocation of immense resources and interests in the average persons life. The government bails out banks, major corporations, and the super rich, all of whom control the government. This allows for further domination on these large and wealthy groups parts. The idea, the driving force behind some of the greatest rulers in history, but done subtle through something that everyone needs but few are willing to fight. Money. Why the U.S? isn't it self centered? No, why? because the U.S has been their main base of operation since its founding. Economic, religious, and ideological freedom! Few restrictions to start, few taxes, allowed for the most influential economy since the roman empire or the numerous ancient Chinese dynasties to form. One that ruled and in many respects rules to this day. What they call themselves is unimportant, many names i'm sure have been fabricated, but their goal is the same.They may accomplish what many have attempted to do, Napoleon, the Monarchs of Europe, Hitler, Stalin, Marxist as well as communistic sentiment. All crushed, all through the aid in some way by the united states, and or these secret hands that guide it. Much of it is speculation, but looking at the world today there is still turmoil think about who it benefits, what its leading to, what organizations have been brought together to Governor the world politically, and who truly rules it? Whether the people ever truly know about these groups is unimportant, in fact the average persons ignorance is essential to their survival. After all how can you remove politicians you can't see? monarchs without heads to remove? That's what ingenuous about it no group, a secret group, can't be held accountable for its mistakes and the people it hurts. The blame is distributed amongst its so called rulers, leading to greater suffering, encouraging unification gradually surrendering freedoms to an all powerful system which directs its inhabitants lives from birth. Don't think at least this is true?Look at your life and mule it over. Whether or not this is right or wrong is up to the reader, and its relevance is as equally questionable. But a mind that does not question, is no mind at all but a script which is read by its possessor and a template for automaton like behavior. Call me crazy if you like but its better than being insane.

The beautiful plum

They have a truly beautiful blossom and have been 

known for it throughout the world for some time. In

ancient Japan the plum blossom began the tradition of

Hanami, flower viewing, which later was the viewing

of cherry blossoms rather than those of plums.The 

tradition continues to this day as a calibrated piece 

of their culture, and inspires festivals in its honor.

Prunus Domestica & Mume

     The earliest records of the plum date back to around 500 B.C  where Confucius mentions then in his writings and musical compositions. About 400 years later in 65 B.C Pompey the great brought them as an extravagance from Asia to his gardens in Rome. They flourished and later s Alexanders armies marched to expand his boarders so to did the plums empire grow around the Mediterranean. Europeans enjoyed this variety so much that when they came to the new world, although there were wild plums they brought their own to grow and plant, which they did quite successfully. From Asia to the Americas plums exist to this day and are a treasure prized for their beautiful blossoms and their delectable fruit.

The Story of Human Rights

If Charlie Chaplin spoke to you take a look
his ideas are a working progress and are not
his ideas at all simple a human though almost 
as constant as humanity itself. So maybe there
will be a day, when all of humanity is bound 
together for the greater good of all.

The Greatest Speech Ever Made

This is perhaps the greatest speech ever made
and by a comedian no less!

Calling for a better world

     The facts of the matter are staring us in the face as they have for centuries. Humanity is capable, in many ways willing.Yet it does not act, not because there's no movement, but because of antiquated notions and old world orders. Each mind is able to change this world, with a smile, a haircut, a bountiful crop, or something as great as a new idea. All people want to help one another, as Chaplin said and i believe its true. So in the name of democracy lets make the world free and beautiful, and lets allow the human race to grow in terms of intellect as well as compassion. 

La danse a Bougival: Renoir 1883

This is a series of three paintings 

each in a different setting but both

depicting a dance, which if truly is

in an ideal world should be based

much in the principles of what

constitutes a lady or gentlemen.

Courtesy, thoughtfulness, and respect. 

Ladies and Gentlemen

     The definitions of either of these is grand, often referring to vast wealth and social prestige, but a unifying theme for either a gentlemen or lady in whatever circumstance or dictionary is that both gentlemen and ladies strive to make those around them comfortable through thoughtfulness, courtesy, and respect where it is due. These phrases are so often in our world today forgotten along with their meaning, and while it may not be of great fascination to many particularity those of my generation, and is seen more as common sense like anything if you don't use these very vital important lessons often imparted at an early age you will lose them, and i dread the day that there is neither a lady or gentlemen to be found. So please and thank you and hold a door or two.

Cooking with tulips

Cook at your own risk

Here's a site with 

a few recopies 

Eat Me!

Tulipa

     Flowers are often set aside as silly frivolities, barely worth having besides for aesthetic beauty. But any good gardener knows that a true flower is one worth having so long as it is more than simple a flower. The tulip is just that. The average person may think of it as a nice bloom, or maybe they associate it with the dutch, which justly it should be. However there far more to this beautiful flower than that. It began in turkey. Where the tulip naturally grew and was cultivated and loved as a symbol of power for hundreds of years by a number of sultans. However while its homeland reveled in its beauty it captured the hearts and minds of the Europeans, particularly the dutch traders who dealt in spices. They brought these small bulbs back with them from these exotic lands in the east, at first curiosities, but very soon they became much more. Tulips became incredibly valuable, their prices sky rocketed, the most desired of fantastic patterns often bringing the average salary of a mans yearly labors. thousands upon thousands were imported to what at the time was one of the most wealthy and um in coming nations. Then tulip mania ended, the bubble had burst, all that had been invested in these precious bulbs was worthless when you didn't have enough money to feed your family. So they ate the bulbs. Only saving the best which would become their livelihood. On all accounts tulips have quite a repugnant taste, aren't very nutritious,  and must be prepared properly.So do further research if you want to eat them, there are recopies. After the economic collapse people in the Netherlands began to farm them, and the nation grew powerful again. As time passed new evils rose, Nazi Germany took the country and what did they eat? Tulips! Thus they live on just as the Dutch have, and are a prided part of their culture and traditions. A blessing in their folly if you will 

Mystery of the Roswell UFO Incident [Full Documentary Films]

Here's the full documentary if any of you want to check it out 

Just a piece to the puzzle

Add caption

The Truth may have gotten lost

but if there is one thing i know 

its that if enough people say the 

same thing regardless of how far fetched

there is often some truth in it.

The Big questions

     Here it is folks the first of many conspiracies. The question that i stared in the face was which one? Out the vast collection which has come about in our culture in the years I've decided to begin with one of the most debated and, yes far reaching as it may be, extraterrestrial in nature. Aliens! Yes folks i'd like to start where the mass conspiracy is most familiar for most people a little place called Roswell New Mexico. June of 1947, a little city of of just under twenty thousand souls surrounded by the vast desert of the american west. What makes this little place so special? Nothing until this fateful time in history. One night however flying lights illuminated the darkened sky in some areas, a few even though to have had the unfortunate luck of crashing to the ground. A few f the residents had reportedly had contact while others had very little to do with it. A few weeks later the Roswell army air field makes a press release on its Crashed "whether balloons". Form this point on little is mentioned about the incident until years later in the 1970s when Friedman,a UFO researcher began looking into the matter. He interview several hundred people who claimed to be involved in the incident, and via the freedom of information act came across many documents with intriguing deviance of a government cover up. He was led to believe that at least 1 saucer had crashed and that some of the being within had survived. All of this however despite having various conformation was accused of being an elaborate hoax. But what most fascinates me is the list of scientists called according to their reports. The Majestic 12 As they were called which included a number of great minds suck as Bronk, Vendenberg,Hunsacker, Menzel, Bush, and many others Some military and government officials to cover up the evidence if you will. What's also intriguing to me is the vast technological advancements we had from this time period on. Particularly in the area of space travel. Within the next ten years of Roswell The first U.S satellite, the next ten years The first man on the moon, within 50 years the first globally organised space station. The technology innovated at an unprecedented rate, faster than ever before in human history. We'd evolved from a race of war mongering creations to a species that began the initial steps of creating advanced technology that would eventually have the ability to out think us. This in my opinion is proof enough that something really did crash on an dark night of June in 1947,the only difference was that unlike many of our previous encounters it was almost like we were waiting, and ready to take advantage of a wealth of knowledge far beyond our own civilization abilities.             

Modern Major-General

This is a fantastic tune and holds a wealth of information

and is the wealth of information everyone should have some

background in, but must as equally apply and understand.

props to anyone that can sing it!

Intellectual Insights

     The Intellectual is a person who is able to think critically, study hard, and reflect on society. That being said the perimeters are loosely defined but very much so present. It could mean looking back to old works literature, or analyzing rap music as a reflection of the inter workings of the culture it stems from. Either way there's merit, and either way its valid. Being an intellectual is not simply about knowing a lot of things , its about having a respect and being able to appreciate the broad spectrum that makes up who we are through truly understanding, not simple using it as a means to snub people or prove your own worth. So this fraction of The Blog will be embarking on more intellectual insights, even if the subject is trivial its can be a valid intellectual point of fact if applied correctly.

The Earth and two hands

     Indoors or out, gardening is one of the many joys of life. Its not for everybody, and it may be thought of as a hobby for old people but its much more than that. Its a means of relaxation, therapeutic, but its also a way to gain a greater understanding of the natural world and get in touch with an activity which is constantly being refined and is the reason why we've progressed as a race as we have. Heads of state, founders of nations, brilliant minds of many generations, writers, poets, and grandmothers alike have toiled in the soil. And so a third of this blog will be dedicated to the dirt and the things that grow from it! Thanks for reading and enjoy

Its all about connections

The Root of our Conspiracy

     Conspiracy has been a part of humanity for thousands of years, and ties back to some of the most respected institutions. The Church, various governments, and at times secret societies which have run the majority of the world for a millennium or more. The common belief is that most often these things are exaggerated, that they are fictitious scenarios made up or constructed by people who've got nothing better to do with their lives or are simple insane. In actuality while some may be crazy, there very well may be truth in certain instances. The hidden is simply a matter of self preservation, much which is not spoken about, set aside as crazy, the groups which are believed not to exist are not seen as a treat, they fly under the radar if you will because what better way is there to succeed. Humanity is a feeble and fickle species governments fail, power shifts with the wind, but how can you rise against a government that doesn't exist? War is a messy business, often which neither sides people are willing to become involved in but if the if the enemy attacks first that's all the justification needed, regardless of the truth..... Mass panic, there's no need when a weather balloon can as easily explain an extra terrestrial encounter. renegade leaders, easily taken care of, and set aside by radicals or "accidents" The examples go on and as this blog goes on i'll look at a few give some evidence for each and get some opinions from all that are reading.Thanks for reading
