Wuhan Flu Fiasco

 ~ Rambling Wuhan Flu Fiasco:  being alive in strange times,

By Paul Manski
                          

          

    
   These ramblings....I am officially out of the Wuhan Flu mix on this, my only advice is the wild herbs I have been exploring are helpful. Develop an exit strategy from the world of dust.  Although it may seem cowardly, people throughout history when political situations have reached a turning point, have made the decision to return in a basic fundamental way to live a simple life, to community, into their deepest held beliefs and faith. Now is such a time. 
      You can get through this by relying on God and on natural plant remedies provided by Creator. Use and apply your faith in God, spirit, Creator. The plants God has given, share them, make them known as you are able, I will do the same. Do no harm, and provide the plants to all who have interest. What is most helpful is to re-invest in your path and live a life close to your path, close to God the Creator because of the weird, uncertainty of events so far. Once guaranteed  rights are abrogated, suspended for no legitimate cause, a relationship is officially broken. That is where we are today, Act accordingly with kindness respect and dignity. 
    Mass media that you have access to is blatantly politicized. What this means is that the most simple and basic information about the Wuhan flu is not given. The most simple basic fundamental facts, statistics, you name it, about the Wuhan flu are with held from you. Transmission is oral/fecal, droplet, contact and in close combined spaces aerosol. So if you wanted to design a space with the highest possible risk for transmission it would be an indoor enclosed modern public space like a submarine or cruise ship, an airplane, or any modern building with its sealed windows and closed ventilation system which would continuously recirculate the virus. Like a modern hospital? Yes any modern public space where people are sick, held against their will, unable to leave, prison, hospital, would be perfect to spread the Wuhan flu. Can you catch the Wuhan flu from a toilet seat? Absolutely possible you can. Where ever a vector of transmission exists then it is reasonable to assume oral-fecal, droplet, and contact are in the mix and appropriate precautions to be taken. Because it is reasonable if a infected fecal-oral vector was produced as a transmission vector, then that is a viable pathway regardless of what the media says. Since the virus is shed in fecal matter, can you get Wuhan flu by contacting contaminated water, swimming and then ingesting contaminated water establishing a fecal-oral vector in something like a swimming pool, lake, river, or stream or by drinking contaminated drinking water? Would it be reasonable to think bodies of water with previous documented e-coli contamination should be understood as possible vectors?   absolutely. Can you acquire this Wuhan flu virus by eating food that someone prepared without adequate safe handling technique, in the same ways that other food born virus' are spread? Absolutely...as with entero virus, past pandemics as polio, if there is an active fecal-oral vector route of transmission, then it is reasonable to assume. Yet a vector of transmission is not the same thing as fear. Whatever normal hygienic practices were effective  against other viruses will be affective against this virus.  It does point out the problematic nature of nosocomial infections and the stupidity of forcing healthy persons to be sequestered in their modern homes, remaining indoors where contamination is greatest. The best place to be to avoid infection is outside, in the open air, in sunshine, rain, wind,  in short in a natural condition. The enclosed ventilation system, wrapped in plastic, energy efficient  with sealed windows American terrarium  is probably the worst place that you could be with this pandemic. Like all influenza outbreak's there will be things in common with this one and one of those things is influenza outbreak's decrease during the spring and summer when people are more outside and also the key point of vitamin D serum levels which is rarely mentioned in the media. And yet these basic facts which are well-known both within the coronavirus family and with the specific Wuhan flu virus is not mentioned or in anyway discussed in the media. Why? Because the media and information sources are politicized for a particular political agenda. Information sources are controlled by social media algorithms rather than accuracy or even heartfelt intensity in each social media community. The deplatforming of political dissidents, the algorithms that determine who has a voice are the problem. The politicalization of information is the problem. This pandemic will be bridged and resolved as all former pandemics have been bridged and resolved. Through basic hygiene, herd immunity, and a return and advocacy for clean water, nourishing food, and the basic right and obligation to allow people to exist and advocate for themselves regardless of race, ethnicity, or position within the global economic zone. And for that reason you need to as Paul the apostle said, work out your salvation with fear and trembling. No one is going to do this for you. Believe and do. 

      Believe and do...I think if I was honest in all this, it would be an expletive rant with every other word being the F word so I tried to clean it up a bit but my basic viewpoint is that this hysterical delusional fiasco is nothing more than a nation, and a world that has been Facebook-ed  up, taken for a ride into the mind of a paranoid schizophrenic globalist worldview that will only end in more individual rights and freedoms being taken away as part of this hysterical mass media process, well the virus will resolve as all viruses have resolved, with herd immunity and the survival of the heroic ancestral spirit as best as it can in strange times. While at the same time information that could save lives is withheld from the public. Instead it's endless politics and left versus right in the soft cultural war, can't we call a truce for at least let's say 60 days? Instead we're told about respirators and economic stimulus and to remain indoors but no one is told the fact that many people already have herd immunity that the virus was probably in community since October 2019.  
      From the beginning I had hoped that there would be a return to regional control of events, a return to traditional Christian values that were once at the core of our understanding and a peeling back of the huge federal government to allow specific regions to control their fate and destiny. It seems that the exact opposite has occurred, and rather than tradition, a return to sanity, paranoia and a bizarre mindset is overtaking the country fueled by their Intra-nets and the new onset of social mediazation of America. Only time will tell if the Corona Wuhan flu will temper the grandiose delusional dreams of empire and bring real nationhood, local control of goods, to this turtle island between the Atlantic and Pacific. However I expect it will not. The problem is that now a sizable amount of people no longer trust, the news media, the politicians of the left or right, and the global elite oligarchs with their message of a universal economic zone, meaning A sizable amount of people will be reconsidering what they do, and who they do it with, in light of this Wuhan Flu. I feel that for some of those who were unable to advocate for their birth identity groups publicly in the public space previous to this Wuhan flu, a lot of those people will be rethinking their choices after the quarantine. We are being asked to socially isolate, practice social distancing, no public entertainment, spend time with our families, sounds like Shabbat Shalom, old fashioned Sunday? Sounds like keep the sabbath day holy. Sounds like the Ten Commandments, it also sounds like banned speech, because Christians have bought into the mindset of liberalism in America. Sabbathday, Shabbat, Sunday, Saturday, that's all part of the new speech guideline dynamics. Whatever, pray on, sabbath on brother and sister.
     These are some points of departure: the covid19 is not only a crisis of pandemic but a crisis in health care delivery,  viral tests that are positive state that anywhere from 75-90% of persons without co-morbidities age 1-age 65, have few symptoms, including no symptoms. 
(CDC #'s 30%lower) John Hopkins U stats 153,000 positives 2800 deaths mortality 1.8% in those positive test cases. 
CDC mortality by age/not co-morbidity 

Greater than age 85, ranging from 10% to 27%, followed by 3% to 11% among persons aged 65–84 years, 1% to 3% among persons aged 55-64 years, less than 1% among persons aged 20–54 years, and no fatalities among persons aged less than 19 years.

Overall, 31% of cases, 45% of hospitalizations, 53% of ICU admissions, and 80% of deaths associated with COVID-19 were among adults aged ≥65 years with the highest percentage of severe outcomes among persons aged ≥85.
What do the stats mean?
It means that the only way such a large percentage of people in the US encountered the virus with either asymptomatic or no significant symptoms, ie a normal influenza immune response with recovery~ it would indicate Covid19 is 1)not a novel virus, 
or 2)at least a high percentage of people's immune system's recognize it as similar enough to existing previously encountered corona virus infectious strains to mobilize effective immune response.
or 3) a fairly similar corona virus has already been present in the US community and a significant portion of the population presently has immune recognition. 
Therefore there already exists in healthy individuals adequate immune response.
     What of the 10% of population, without previous immunity, compromised immune response, age greater than 85, pre-existing co-morbidity? Well obviously these are the people who should be quarantined. School aged children or adults less than 70 without co-existing conditions should not be quarantined as evidenced by risk outcome.
      What should medical authorities be testing for? They should continue Covid19 testing, and focus on testing blood titre  anti-bodies to demonstrate previous exposure, begin strict quarantine for at risk populations, strictly ration care to populations with poor outcomes and triage to hospice setting. Restrict access to acute care hospitals for poor outcome, aged, immune compromised, co-morbidity Covid19 positive patients, provide compassionate hospice, centers rather than ICU care. Regardless of viewpoint, in actuality,  the triage of poor outcome patients will always take priority in a health care crisis. 
                               

     Be set apart, ok. To be honest with yinz guys, this was my plan all along. I have been thinking about keeping a distance for a while now. No not because of any universal medical truth, not because of an invisible microbe that got us y'all infected. Not because of some kind of weird sudden onset pandemic flu spread by unknown mysterious droplets in the air, by coughing, sneezing, touching door knobs,  No, i have been thinking about being set apart because you, your policies of refusing to have borders, everything's for sale, the denial of significant portions of the community the right to mobilize and advocate for their group concerns due to hate speech rules, everybody encouraged to pop the freely available psych med pills, kids don't know if they are boys or girls, let me ask, '¿you're proud of that?' Are you proud of a situation where because of supposed civil rights and strategies of the soft cultural warfare,  large portions of the people are legally unable to advocate for themselves as a group based on the concept of minority rights, which plays in to the whole globalist notion that makes citizens prisoners in a universal economic zone? You think it's better to give your 8 year old child amphetamine salts, mood stabilizers, anti-depressants for life, till death do us part rather than discipline him or her, and it is him or her, stupid. The government funded schools have to some degree been taken over by educated ideologues masquerading as teachers. The political process orchestrated by the dominant culture media will not permit my group identity to be represented by law or public gatherings. While at the same time supporting the rights of other identity groups to advocate for their members in congressional caucus, employment associations, and communicate via online social media. This situation is class warfare and a major talking point for the globalists. It has produced a profound dissatisfaction with engagement and participation in the public sphere. The teaching at school being a socially transformative message designed to produce a narrow philosophical world view. Schools designed to produce advocates for soft class warfare. I also feel it's difficult to invest in a society that does not acknowledge the legality of my right to identify and advocate for my cultural group, while establishing the rights of other groups to advocate. That same mindset of soft cultural warfare seems to be alive and well with all the social media flu and paranoid decision making process that has overtaken us. So yeah I have been thinking about social distancing. Distancing from what has become a garbage dump culture where making ends meet is dissatisfying. So I don't want to live in dense crowded conditions with people I don't want to be around and more importantly don't want to be around me. Sure let's distance. Let's just say, we had a break up and we are going separate ways. The break Up however occurred long before the pandemic, the pandemic was only a wake up call to action.

     There seems to be a possibility based on Dr Helen Chu's Seattle Flu Study, that the Covid19 virus was community based in parts of the US as of Jan/Feb 2020. Was it present earlier? Was it present in Wuhan at the time the World Military Games occurred in October 2019? If so was it community spread from that date, both by citizens of Wuhan and brought back by participants? At this point I honestly don't care where the virus came from, how long it was here or how it got here. I just want to get on and move on and live my life in a little teeny tiny way with grace. Do the things that I can do and just continue with authenticity and free of the weird paranoia that has overtaken my people in my nation. I am honestly done with the paranoid schizophrenic philosophy that to me is the real virus. I am not saying it's spread was intentional by any parties, yet evidence is there that bio-researchers did have a hand in it's release.  It's a virus, virus' have and will be spread in human groups rapidly given the nature of, global air travel, congested living spaces, open borders, and the modern world of global commerce and travel of goods and people, a US military global presence around the globe with continuous troop rotations, and as the Wuhan Flu has now been documented to have a fecal route of transmission like polio, cholera and diphtheria in swimming pools, and contaminated water. I am just done with it. I am done with the updates. I am absolutely done with every person being some type of medical expert now, quoting mass media dominant culture globalist sources.  I don't even believe entirely in the narrow view of medicine and those medical models of disease. I don't even know if it is a virus. The social lockdown is a social political decision it is not the virus. It's the same hegemony of ideas, the strict control of the spread of ideas, in a word censorship of thought. I don't really care if it's a virus.  I'm just done with it. Oh, and one more thing I don't wanna vaccine, I don't want to mandatory vaccine. And if I die I'm happy with that I'm not gonna live in a hole in a concrete bunker afraid of everything I touched because it's contaminated. If you want to live the life your OCD philosopher, medical genius and chief advises, go for it. I am done with it. In Wuhan and throughout China there is combination of western medicine with TCM, traditional Chinese medicine which was used to address the disease process. None or a little of this information is being shared in the dominant culture media. What continues is the blackout of information from other sources.
    Yes I acknowledge there are heroic nurses doctors and people working in healthcare right now addressing the out-of-control situation in various places like New York City. Let's be pessimistic and blunt, there are going to be vast areas of the United States which are virtually unaffected by the situation by this virus. And there are going to be crowded cities that become utterly uninhabitable with no healthcare access and no beds available places like New Orleans, Chicago Detroit you're going to have cities in that left-behind part of the country turn into nightmares. While this nation was building its bubble housing market, bubble stock market, allowing certain groups to publicly advocate for themselves as a group while denying other groups from advocating for themselves in the public space, and inviting the whole world to come and live in America, there were people that were already here that were neglected, scourged with drugs, without access to nourishing food in their grocery stores, and basically a lost generation of Americans, not going to come back. I still don't buy into a military medical police state. All I can say is, don't push too far, it may be the Wuhan flu but this isn't Wuhan. 
      There are political and deep deep differences in mindset with the people living between the Atlantic and Pacific on this turtle island.  There are just as as many heroes in grocery stores, delivering mail, truck drivers, warehouse workers as in healthcare. The only difference is healthcare workers get inflated beyond what they're worth based on this whole private insurance scam/private healthcare system. This whole glorification of the medical establishment is just a fake front to protect the huge profits that occur in a private medical system. I know I work in the system as a registered nurse since the early 2000s. I know what it's about, I know how it turns, and it's all about money, and it's all about the inflated private insurance versus government healthcare medical fraud competing private healthcare fiefdoms unable to cooperate competing for profits. And I want to make it clear that a lot of that so-called profit that comes in as monies charged for healthcare is out right theft. It comes from a combination of our corrupt private insurance system, doctors and nurse practitioners who misdiagnose to protect their handlers,  and the various individuals who work at these private hospital systems fleecing the federal and state governments billions of dollars to line their pockets with stolen money design for healthcare, that instead goes to these private hospital ownership boards. 
The reason why nurse practitioners and doctors misdiagnose as part of their  practice to line the pockets of the private healthcare system is a complex issue. One of the issues is the foreign doctors, Who have no allegiance to America, that populate the healthcare system, these foreign doctors and nurse practitioners who flock to the United States to participate in this rip off business many are nothing more than carpet baggers. ¿Let's face it if you went to Pakistan, or Kenya, or Nigeria, or one of these Third World nations do you think that you as an American would be allowed to attend university there and become a doctor? absolutely not! ¿Do you really think that there are no native born Americans candidates for medical school? ¿Do you think that there are not enough Americans willing to become nurse practitioners in America that we have to encourage foreign born persons to populate our medical system?  This again is part of that open borders come one come all philosophy that's poisoning our country. Poisoning our healthcare system. If they had any loyalty to their own people they would be in their own countries helping them,  they're not. They are here to cash in, part of the rip off process. The other big issue is when an American nurse practitioner or doctor graduates from school, most of them have huge debt, so for the first 5 to 10 years of practice they are in some type of medical debtors prison. They are in that sense morally in debt and they are not free to criticize the system. They are under the weight of a huge debt, it will be on them for the next 5 to 15 years. If you are a doctor a nurse, a nurse practitioner, respiratory therapist or anyone involved in the healthcare system or you know the fraud is happening but you don't say anything because your salary is built upon that system and you don't want to cut off the cash cow that's paying your bills and it is as simple as that. It reminds me of the NFL, national football league with the CTE issue. Anyone who plays football knows that CTE is part of the process of playing football in America but because of huge salary, the huge money from television advertisements people watch 250 pound men run into each other full speed ahead,  as a past time and entertainment. These people are all now suffering from CTE. No one will do anything about it because of the money aspect, who's going to kill NFL football? It's this private healthcare system funded by the corrupt insurance industry which is really a pay for play racket, and the available monies that come in from both state and federal government Medicare private state funds designed for healthcare being misused. This fraud is causing unnecessary death and unnecessary fear in our country at the present time. The place where I work as an RN, I would describe it as centered in fraud to coax more money from the government to line the pockets of the owner of the private hospital. This goes on all over the country. Little private medical fiefdoms, private hospitals not cooperating for healthcare, cooperating for profit, and using the US welfare state to line their pockets with quick cash. So yeah I guess I'll be, distancing myself from that too. Working in that system was such a fake, play time, easy money world. The only reason I did it was for the Cha ching, for my inflated hourly wage. The only reason I was being paid that way was because of the medical fraud money coming in. In every check that I received from healthcare part of the money I received was a pay off to keep quiet and not say anything about the silliness that went on in that rip off environment. Working as a doctor, nurse, respiratory therapist and nurse practitioner in healthcare today is all about keeping quiet. The money salary a large part of which is hush money to keep quiet and let the system keep rolling along lining profits,  for the for profit healthcare industry. Working as a doctor, nurse, respiratory therapist, nurse practitioner in healthcare today is all about the secret Santa salary, hush money to keep quiet and let the system keep rolling along lining profits for the for profit healthcare industry. So yeah more distancing I get it. For me it's not distancing because the flu it's distancing because I need more authenticity.

      That various governments including both the US, China and other nations have done research and development on bio weapons is a sad fact. More than a sad fact it is a stupid fact. It is also a sad fact that two biological research laboratories Who were possibly involved in bio weapons research, were active in the same area where the virus first begin. Why would you want to develop biological weapons that can kill people? what kind of madness consumed you, that would direct you to even approach that idea. Whatever has been done is secret. Is Covid19 a natural virus with a natural evolution? I don't know. If the virus was intentionally modified whether as a bioweapon or for research, would that be acknowledged and shared? Yet there is a truth that various governments around the world have invested in the manipulation of viral and bacterial methods to kill, to kill the enemy. So at this point I have to say that if there are nations and groups of nations that are involved in this type of covert deadly activity? The end game of that is to make it difficult for me to pledge allegiance to the flag, sorry. Because the so called owners of the flag seem to have stolen the flag.  I no longer want to be involved in a national, international death culture. If you want to be involved in a International death culture cult, that for me is a kind of mutual suicide society, then my  my advice to you? If your whole world is that delusional, based on social mass media hysteria, Go for it brother. Do it sister but I'm not going there. And on another note if you want to live in a bunker, enjoy your bunker baby! Is the Wuhan Flu virus such a creation? I also acknowledge that scientists have done work in the field of virology,  bacteria,  that has benefited others in the creations of medicines  and vaccines it seems that everything we do is in someway a mix of good and bad of light and dark of the beneficial and the deadly. I think I just put that in there so that people will think I'm not against science but to be totally honest with you, this whole messing around with the inner workings of life to me is garbage. Whether it's GMO created seeds, and farm crops, food and laboratory. Whether it's the meat industry that relies on antibiotics and produces antibiotic resistant bacteria that spread to our environment. Whether it's a fantasy fairytale of eternal economic growth that has become our national race to oblivion. It's like the whole world has decided to be Dr. Frankenstein and build Towers of Babel is the best thing that we can possibly do. ¿Like dude, what are you thinking? So yes I totally  support social distancing, stay in your air-conditioned boxes, freak out on your social media hysteria, leave me alone.
                   
     The nefarious nature of competing nations with bio, nuclear, chemical, and conventional weapons, threatening, taunting each other is bizarre and grotesque. The current situation in Iran US relations illustrates this. We have Iran in Wuhan Flu meltdown crisis yet economic sanctions hindering the well being of the country have as yet to be lifted. Look I think Israel is a great place to be but I don't want our people to come back in body gags. ¿Does that make me an anti-Semite? It is a no brainer for me, going back to the great Vietnam war fiasco, thousands of troops in the Middle East, come on now that's a joke, a deadly disaster. The US states the sanctions don't block food or medicine. The Iran ruling clerics have refused medical help from the US claiming that the virus was developed by the United States and stated the medicine offered may be poison meant to prolong the crisis.  Enough already, if this is a real and not manufactured human crisis, then the situation requires compassion and suspension of previous ideological views. Let the Iranian people have their destiny, their victory, their defeat.  If the United States wishes to survive, and that is a large if, then it must accept the rules of the game have changed. Yet it appears obvious that for our dear leaders the rules of the game have not changed. Failed militaristic goals for world dominance must be abandoned. Good luck, it'll never happen. However I think we all know that the quest for world domination and influence will continue with ourselves being pawns in their bazaar games. The ideology of  controlling and managing the behavior of sovereign nations must cease. These Global overtures squander the possibilities that we have here at home in America. The energy and time of nation of an individual of a group of individuals is limited and must be focused in such a way that maximizes the benefits to those directly involved. Our own inept response to this crisis illustrates we need to occupy and maintain our own geographical space between the Atlantic and Pacific first and foremost. It feels like the leaders of America are in a relationship. They have an attractive vital beautiful person directly in front of them. However rather than engage with that person face-to-face in a romantic interlude, America would rather watch pornography and engage in some type of mutual masturbation. 
    The leadership of the nation is the action of a steward and we have squandered that stewardship, spending our blood, soil, the wealth of our people in agendas that are not to our best interest. And it's not like it happened last week or in January 2020 this started in 1940 it's not something new it's just a bunch of garbage for 75 years and that's a long time. We have since WWII, and that is 75 years, squandered our national vital energy on weapons, petty wars, funding a vast world wide flung military while our homeland and people rot. Yes as an American you can now get a free Covid19 test, but paying for treatment, that's up to you. Yes you'll pay either way, you'll either pay with the force shut down of the nation or you'll pay with some other bazaar agenda and plan. For someone who for probably for the last 15 years has been in socialized isolation it's not that big of a deal. Even with the stupid private insurance estimates are that a person would pay $9000 dollars for treatment, ridiculous. Without insurance you'll owe $35,000. Are we a nation, or residents in a forced occupied economic zone? Are we a people with a common destiny or prisoners in this economic zone? Our elected handlers, senators congress, on the left and right, with privileged intel sold off their stocks before the stock market crash. Again beyond ridiculous, it's disgusting these traitors to our nation should not only be thrown from office, but arrested as criminals and perhaps even more be tasked to justice. I am sick of it. Obviously to me these people are fakes and phonies with no allegiance to their own people. They are carpet baggers and opportunists. ¿Yeah why don't you find another career politician to to rip you off for four more years and call that freedom? ¿How does that work for you? Just fine, right?

      With a viral infectious process, with documented community spread, the question is immunity. Yet there is no conversation about immunity. Are persons who have already been infected and recovered now immune? Why has there been limited discussion of an antibody titre test to determine previous exposure. If the longterm solution is a vaccine, then in theory this is based on the theory that immunity via vaccine is a possibility? Is this vaccine another for profit money grab from  the medicos, another action by the occupying arm of the forced economic zone? I think we all knew where this was going when we first saw the golden talking head approach the camera. We knew it was gonna be more bail outs. We knew it would be more healthcare poured down our throats our throat's. Not the healthcare that we want but the healthcare that the government wants to give us, more of the same. Let's be honest, if this is a virus and people got it and then they got better, then they have immunity and that's what's going to save us. Herd immunity, the immune system, The same thing that has kept us alive and well living and breathing for 100,000 years,  immunity and not your stupid ass vaccine.  That's just a money grab
       At this point this sorry stupid mess has morphed into shutting down America to prevent the American for profit exploitative health network from being overwhelmed.  Shutting down our nation to possibly give Alzheimer patients, mental patients, the elderly and near death, IV stage cancer patients, HIV and immunosuppressed, the immense american prison population- a few more months or years of institutional life. A few more years on dialysis. What about quarantine of anyone infirm, sick? Quarantine the elderly if they are at risk to protect them. Quarantine the dying and let the rest of us get on with our life. What will happen is they'll just quarantine for a little while to our savings are disappeared. Quarantine until the mortgage you're paying now defaults and you lose your house in route on the street homeless. They will quarantine until their profits stop and then they'll tell you go back to work, go back to your factory jobs, go back to your office jobs. I think the stories are always the same you're going to get ripped off and you're going to get run over. 
      That is what will happen anyway. This farce of fake compassion can only go on so long. The living will always triumph. The vital force of life can not be restrained to benefit a non-functional, medically compromised group. Who said to lock the old and infirm in elderly homes? If these people are so important why are they not with their families? Their families rejected them, on the basis of what? On the the basis of a flawed world view that itself will probably be swept away by the Wuhan Flu. The truth is they are people who bought into a flawed death culture of atheism, open borders, abortion, feminism and liberal extremism. If this Wuhan turns out to be a fake power grab by the protected elite, either way, be warned, enough is enough. Enough is enough for you, and enough is enough to keep you on a short chain just one paycheck away from the street, the meth heads, and the masses howling across the borders on all sides, waiting not only to jump the wall but waiting to come in on jet airplanes to your airport, coming to a theater near you. They don't only want your house, they want your car, want your wife, want your daughter and your son. Yet most importantly what they want is Not only your wife, your children, your car, your house,  they want your culture! specifically the cultural narrative. The globalists want to replace your nation with a universal economic zone. The only way that they can accomplish this is through a soft cultural war conducted by the school system that turn your own children into soft cultural warriors. A media advertising and pornography blitz, and the denial of your rights to advocate for your own race and people as a group. If you notice every so called minority group, every ethnic group, every male versus female soft culture conflict, is able to represent themselves and advocate as a group. The only group that is not allowed to identify and publicly advocate for themselves in the public space is the dominant population group. This is not a question of civil rights it's a question of silencing, demoralizing a group of people to establish the universal economic zone in place of an authentic nation. And as far as I'm concerned take them all. You can have everything because the ruling elites said it was The right thing to do, and you cheered them on. You said hello come on in. Take my house. Take my car. Here let us give you some place to stay,  welcome welcome welcome. One person could not overcome this situation, if this is what you want enjoy it. It is not that I do not want to resist, it is that I want to live to fight again rather than be destroyed by the current tyranny of ideas that characterizes my struggle is hate. So yes I am withdrawing, I am isolating, I am quarantining for the sake of my survival to regroup and reinvigorate the struggle.
     If people believe the same people who brought the Korean War, Vietnam war, the Middle East forays into empire, the craziness of NATO, nuclear weapons, biological weapons chemical weapons are going to solve this problem, with a mandatory vaccine, to maintain a forced economic zone, then all hope is lost. Oh granted, you will get a mandatory vaccine and the wars will keep coming even if they are just your good old fashioned drone war,  just enough to keep the military industrial complex humming and the pandemic's coming just like the cheap garbage goods  that will be filling the Walmart near you again so you can dump more trash into the landfill. 
    Globalism is not quite dead but certainly dying. Globalism is like catching something during a pandemic and ending up on a ventilator, you're not necessarily dead but you're sure not having a good time. If you have a nation then nourish and maintain that nation. Maintain its boundaries. Encourage its culture. Protect orchards, farmland and food production. ¿What kind of nation are you going to have if you're eating garbage food laced with chemicals, in a virtual intranet death grip a virtual reality, breathing poison air and your kids are all hooked on psychiatric drugs like Adderall and Prozac and mood stabilizers? If they're not taking the prescribed pharmaceutical psychiatric drugs there's worse stuff available. ¿How about Meth amphetamine, high-grade genetically modified marijuana, opioids, benzos, black tar heroin, fentanyl, all cheap widely availablethe fentanyl, it's all out there and it's all there for you enjoy. Let's just say this there's something really wrong if you think things are OK. You should probably find a tall building to jump off because you're nuts. Allow regional culture to dominate in its unique bioregion. The idea of one standard for Maine to Washington state is an idea whose time has passed. It is not only allowing the Ukraine, Poland, Iran, the Korea's, to be their own nation with their own values. It is allowing America itself to have its own standards, values, and way of life, unique place to place. Yes this is a crisis and it will be dealt with, it must be dealt with, the time has come. There will be change, yet it may not be the change that was anticipated. I take that back I don't think there's gonna be any change whatsoever it's just more claustrophobic paranoid schizophrenic philosophy impersonating rational thought.
      I was hoping the fairytale fantasy of eternal economic growth would come to a crashing end. The definition of cancer is uncontrolled cell division within an organism. Cancer is what our culture has become. Even more than our culture being a cancer, our culture has become the promotion of cancer. The culture has become the encouragement of uncontrolled growth, to produce more profits for the elite owners of the economic zone. Our nation has ceased to be a nation and  become a business, where every human interaction has an economic value. An unsustainable growth whether  in the stock market, the housing market, whether in economic terms, population terms, or within the language of the globalists, a global economy of continuous economic growth cannot be maintained. We are people who live in place. In a specific place, we live within, wrapped by a  specific bio region with limits that are maintained by the waters, by the mountains, by the production of food, we must learn to live in place upon the earth in a sustainable manner.
                            
      The idea that you can take a piece of paper with the picture of George Washington on it, a dollar bill and spend it in the same way, whether you were in Maine, Florida, Texas, California, Alaska, Michigan, North Dakota, is an amazing idea, and the idea of empire. The problem with this is it denies the basic truth of a place. Maine with its lobsters and cool north eastern forest is fundamentally different than Arizona. People must accept their own mortality and  and live by that mortality with vitality, within the means of that place. It appears that we live by this mythology and science fiction of the space-age, flying to the moon, or flying to Mars when our feet are absolutely firmly on the ground. No one is living on the moon, no one is or will live on Mars. We are not so much earthbound, as bound by the specific ecosystem that we cooperate with in order to live. We are not so much bound by the earth, as bound by the pine tree forests, bound by the saguaro cactus, bound by the short grass prairie, bound by the specificNess of where we are.  We never were globalists that whole idea of being rootless  people is in fact a fantasy.
      Rather than resist or retreat from the Wuhan flu, we need to embrace the changes, make voluntary those revolutionary changes that are open to us. Fortunate, or unfortunate, we do not have the national will, to give up our life and our vitality for those who are at the end stage of their life. However the responsibility we need to take is not national responsibility. There is no nation to take responsibility. Only individuals can take responsibility to embrace the changes and make voluntary those adaptations. The idea of having age separated communities, where our elders who should be our teachers, our grandfathers and grandmothers are locked away, was an interesting experiment. probably as an experiment it will continue. The disconnect of face-to-face communication in the world is the true epidemic. We have lost our balance and the center not only will not hold. The center is rotten at the core. It is a failed experiment and whether it happens now in the next 12 months or in some other way, it was a failure and a policy which could not be maintained. Think again, it will be maintained and we will get ventilators lots of ventilators.
     Caring for who you love can never be a vicarious experience, caring for those you love is always direct and face to face. You cannot trust the people you love and care most deeply about, whether they are your infant children in day care or your aging parents or grandparents to strangers that is simply a failed futile  policy. That a large portion of certain segments of our society believed that they could entrust their children to strangers, lock their elders away in concentration camp care homes, and still maintain a society, a nation worthy of the name, is a fantasy, is a fallacy, and at its essence is morally wrong. The transformation of every exchange in life into economic terms, is an illusion because economics and money are only symbols for something else which exists, money is never the real thing. all of this will change, as it had to change, and our only choice now is to heroically accept those changes. Because truth will not change, by it's very definition it is unchangeable, what will change are the falsehoods we embraced as truth. Those will change, because they must change. Life is intimate, life is face to face, life is specific to the ecosystem within the bio region we inhabit as part of the life process. That we can return to this is a blessing.
     We should be grateful that we had an opportunity to make a decision, to make a choice. If we had gone the path that we were traveling much further there would've been no turning back. The only way one that can  make a decision is I. And remember there is no I in us. The genetic manipulation of human life to merge with artificial intelligence was the next goal on the globalists agenda. they of course the elites in their towers, will still attempt to link the human person with the machine, to create a new being that is human with an altered genome, merged with the artificial intelligence, that was their goal and remains their goal. The globalist cabal set to sever the essential dominant link of civilization, the bond between a man and woman, marriage and the family. They would redefine marriage in a ludicrous turn of events to be a generic liberal bond that could be between a man and a man, between a woman and a woman the idea of homosexual marriage. Really if two guys engaging in debauchery, or two tattooed purple haired neutral persons doing the same is your idea of a good time? Go for it hard and strong, knock yourself out. Let it be clear their intention had nothing to do with the rights of homosexuals, the intention was, is and always will be to destroy the fundamental bond and unit of society the family. The goal has always been to create slaves highly addicted impoverished persons to inhabit their human zoo menagerie. You see you cannot have a nation without a culture. And culture is the transmission of heritage from parents to their children. Not the transmission of politically correct nonsense from the government factory school. Culture comes from the family. The goal was to destroy the sacredness of that bond and replace it. This destruction of marriage and family was combined in a toxic brew with feminism which was not so much the rights of women to choose their destiny but the duty of women to reject the sacred duty of motherhood. To devalue motherhood and that essential relation that is sacred and invaluable between the mother and child. To put up the false hope for women with the rights of passage that included abortion, premarital sex, divorce, with the final culmination of the highest right and duty a woman or man could attain is to become a childless lesbian queen or a neutered fairy king of consumerism. Through feminism the relations between men and women became one of conflict and petty competition so that a divorce or a marriage for that matter simply becomes one other element of economic exchange within the world of legality and finance. At a certain point in this decadent liberal conversation that very question of male or female became a choice. One could choose to be now. One could choose to be female. It was written in constitutions, in books that a man and a woman are both fictional nebulous concepts. At a certain point in this decadent liberal conversation the very question of male or female became a choice. One could choose to be male. One could choose to be female. It was written  in constitutions, in books of law, in your dominant culture cinema, that a man and a woman are both fictional nebulous concepts. So we have doctors administering hormones to people who have chosen, or re-chosen their sexuality. We have a single baby mama naming their children names that are neither male nor female. We have a rejection of what was once essential and fundamental to our culture, the concept of God the Bible, being a Christian nation, as a problem that we must overcome to establish the universal global economic zone between the Atlantic and Pacific ocean.
    It appeared for A few brief cultural moments at least we had something to resist, something to fight, witj the possibility of real work ahead. Too much gleeful acceleratinism yet We are blessed that we can still work with our hands to build our lives prayers for you all. The Real Work. Blessings!always
  
    1) Dr  Helen Chu, M.D., M.P.H., a board certified physician with UW Medicine and a UW assistant professor of Medicine and Allergy and Infectious disease, led previous to media reported pandemic outbreak in Wuhan,  The Seattle flu study, funded by Bill and Melinda Gates foundation. It was a community based public health study unconnected to pandemic. As the reports emerged of pandemic she already had in her possession as director of study, thousands of nasal swabs that she tested earlier only for standard flu as part of study. Acting unilaterally and against confidentiality HIPPA law, for the study, she did 2 things, she began to test some swabs for the COVID-19, at a lab she had access to that was not recognized as an official lab for Covid and using a test not officially recognized by the CDC 2) after positive Covid results were returned on tested swabs, she directly contacted individuals. One of the individuals she contacted was a minor, at Jackson High School, Snohomish County Washington. He was under 18 and student in high school that school was closed Feb 28, 2020. These positive Covid swabs were found mid Feb with swabs having been taken earlier.
                       

 Dr Chu is quoted as saying, “It must have been here this entire time, It’s just everywhere already.” A positive came back for a teenage male at a wash state high school and she contacted them. The government stepped in and stopped her doing  further COvid testing, or any direct contacts. She has done no interviews since that i have been able to access. 
     2) what this indicates is that the Covid virus was community-based in the US as early as December through March 2019/2020 flu season, when the swabs were gathered. This also may push back disrupt the zero patient search and possibly put zero patient outside of wuhan and the fish market story 
3) the virus hot spots,  s korea, italy, Iraq Iran are consistent with US military bases, in Europe and the Middle East. Even if this is incidental, accidental, why should we maintain A standing army in Korea? Why should we maintain a standing army in Japan? Why should we maintain nuclear weapons in Europe? Why should we have troops, 30,000 troops in Europe 75 years after that war is over? why are we fighting in the middle east, for what end? 


That the US has 7000 troops in north Italy, 20000 or 30000 thousand in Korea, 25000 Japan, 15,000 in the near Iran, bases in German, Poland, former eastern bloc Soviet Union, 500 nuclear weapons in Turkey~ is for some Americans a point of enormous pride. For me it's a non tenable, impossible strategy to bend sovereign nations to our agenda. What is our agenda? What possibly put our agenda be for Italy? What could or agenda be for Korea? It is sapping our time, our own people and citizens doing what, for who? We negate the meaning of citizenship in our nation with a come one, come all policy meant to hyper inflate global commerce for the elites. It is going to come crashing down with the Wuhan flu.
      The US has 7000 troops in the Veneto region, northern Italy ground zero for covid. 40,000 troops in South Korea a covid hotspot. Roughly 17,000 US troops are adjacent to Iran another ground zero hotspot, and in Afghanistan and Iraq. What about Wuhan? The US sent Hundreds of US military to Wuhan Oct 2019 to compete in and for World Military Games- it is possible patient zero is in that bunch of athletes sent to compete in Wuhan, or someone in wuhan who had covid19 in October 2019 and spread it to the athletes who in turn spread it around the world. A similar presentation occurred in Germany, when healthy German citizens this winter flocked to the Italian Alps and although asymptomatic brought back the Italian-Wuhan fly to Germany.. It is also possible the delegation of US military athletes spread or acquired covid via social or sexual contact with wuhan community , and participated back and forth in the wuhan scenario 
4) Covid19 strikes lethally the elderly living in nursing homes, spreads in those who live in confined spaces as the church in SKorea, mental hospitals, prisons,  and lethally strikes those with co-morbidities. Germany has yet to see the Italian scenario, it's infected skiers were high functioning young people with robust immune systems displaying few symptoms. People test positive in Germany with few symptoms. 


5)  hospitalizations will overwhelm US hospitals as Italy. 
6) if you were sick with flu US 2019/20 flu season there is probability, possibility you now have immunity. The problem is you may be spreading to immune suppressed and elderly who will have extreme mortality rates, even though asymptotic. The other huge issue is in the US only the rich and privileged are being tested, athletes, politicians, movie stars. I as a health care worker have not been tested. Poor indigent patients I see are not tested. At this point you either have to be a privileged elite or slated for a a respirator, so the test even then is to protect the health care system, and prevent nosocomial infection. 
6) the US government  is hoping social isolation will compress the curve of Wuhan flu  which is exponential and prevent hospital overload. It's a nice idea. It's a flawed idea. We want to prevent the infection of the elderly not because we love them but because of economic reasons. We are concerned that the elderly may overwhelm the health system with admissions. It is a money issue, it's a healthcare issue, it is not from the heart issue with compassion. If we cared about those people they wouldn't be living separated from their families in isolation wards. 
The strategy of social isolation will not work in America. It can not work due to differences in culture China vs US, ~ Chinese people were literally prisoners in their personal space and in their unique Wuhan way, and ok with that. Social isolation is not and can not happen in the US or Canada. It may be the same virus, but we are not the same people
7) so it will be unlike anything the US has seen in 100 years. The US population during 1918 pandemic was 100million and rural with natural social isolation. 2020 it's 340million with 80% urban. Infection rate of 1918 was 65% with that mainly rural population. Also the life expectancy was 55 in 1918, it was a young nation of young people with healthy immune systems. Today the life expectancy is 77 and we especially whites and blacks are older, medically compromised and will fall victim to the virus at enormous rates. 5) people are behaving as if nothing has changed when in reality the US and Canada as we've known it will not survive. If this thing unfolds according to predictions,  politically for the US it will be the equivalent of the breakup of the Soviet Union. With the addition of riots, food shortages, global supply chain disruptions and most importantly various degrees of mayhem. 75 years of life in the economic zone has not prepared us for cooperation. The vast impersonalization process which is fundamentally traumatic to the psyche, enabled America to transition from nation to  universal economic zone,  will make any cooperative effort extremely problematic, especially in cities like New York, Boston, San Francisco, Portland, Philadelphia. Americans have been processed to have little care or emotional connection via feminism, a culture of autism, born of women who have been taught to abort children. They are not so much mothers as baby mamas. They give birth then give their infants to strangers in an economic exchange called childcare, daycare, so they can return to their meaningless jobs, and buy more stuff. If the child misbehaves, medicate to submission with smooth pharmaceuticals. 
       In truth people don't know what America is anymore, because it doesn't exist anymore for many Americans, the only thing that exists is the economic zone, buy buy buy, die die die. And everyone is in a race to buy more cheap stuff  from China, from Third World nations that they can throw away in the landfill,  only to buy more stuff.  It's all about buying stuff.  That's not a nation it's a shopping mall. And that's the people you're asking to sacrifice for elderly people that they have institutionalized because all feelings of loyalty love beauty and sacrifice for them have been Prozac-ed, removed from them to create global consumers in the economic state.
7)The Wuhan flu means the breakup of the liberal globalization, a forced regionalization of not only US Canada but worldwide, and a possible fragmentation into bioregional states. Yet it's not going to be a smooth transition it's going to be a death march to bioregionalism. The consumer globalist liberal culture is a culture of addiction. People buy stuff not even because they like the stuff that they're buying. The transformation of America from a nation to a universal economic zone has been the conversion of a person to an addict. So with the Wuhan flu that's coming you're going to see a lot of addicts desperate to get their fix and there isn't going to be any available. I imagine you'll still be able to get for a while the methamphetamine, the psych drugs, the artificially grown marijuana, the cheap black tar heroin but that's the short term. some will not make the transition it's coming they'll just sing deeper and deeper into addiction. They'll simply change their economic buying addiction into drug addiction and that's not very good for the immune system, I think we know that the Wuhan flu will take care of that.
8)wow that's great holly, you are inspiring, i know you'll do fine. praying is so important. i will pray for you, as i ask you do the same for me. 
    Will americans starve? I don't know. I hope not, but unless this whole thing is paranoia, there will be disruptions in food. Americans are used to getting berries from Argentina, produce from Mexico, tropical fruit from South America and Latin America, and I don't think that's gonna happen. It's a possibility that that supply chain will no longer be available. There may be significant regional turmoil, and other less diverse areas will be orderly. All those pecan orchard's, apple trees back east,  and orange groves that were in Texas, Florida Arizona and California havevbeen torn down for track homes. The great Hoover dam and Lakemeade are at 40% capacity. The Glen Canyon Dam in Lake Powell on the Colorado River Road 50% of capacity. they supply water places like Las Vegas, the imperial Valley of California, Phoenix Tucson Arizona, that water will probably not be available shortly and it's very likely that the Southwest will see a great reduction population. History repeats itself, the Anasazi had to abandon their cities in the south west in the 1340s due to cyclical drought. 
     At the end of the Soviet Union right until the end, the communists acted as if nothing had changed. Just before the Berlin wall in Germany fell,  the East German Communists were busy doing their thing completely oblivious to the huge changes that were happening all around them. Those were political changes, and they are fundamentally different than plague of a biblical proportion. When the Soviet Union fell no one was seeing dead bodies lined up to be disposed in burial pits,  this is going to be something different. If these predictions are true, then it will be the same here because no one can imagine that type of death happening not only here in the United States but all over the world. The national guard is being called out, state by state, to attempt to maintain supply of food and goods. The problem is supply of what to who? What do you distribute when the supply chain is broken?  Eventually they will patrol streets, dispose of bodies, make sure water is available, clean potable water, power, ~ the problem is going to be the liberal clingers who think we can go on as before. Who will resist and attempt to sabotage order. as if nothing has changed when everything has changed. Food, goods services are going to localize, US troops in korea, japan, germany, italy, the Middle East will return home- that post WW2 world is done. To quote Aleksandr Dugin the Russian orthodox writer, " sharp closure of society, reliance on domestic resources, strong state power and isolation of the sick from the healthy, citizens from foreigners"    


MC, update on a couple things. i posted a Facebook *Confluence* "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network", this went on for 36 hours then I deleted posts and phone restored. 
      This is a journal entry early January 2020.....   anyway... we are now seeing the US CDC is using the first quarantine scenario since the 1960's for smallpox, with the flight from china held at Riverside CA, after a passenger attempted to leave the base. 
    One source i have, has published this which is a scholarly analysis of anomalies in the 19-nCoV, which indicate that the glycoprotein spike on the virus has 4 insertions which are the same as HIV from sources in kenya, india and thailand indicating a manipulated virus "our findings suggest unconventional evolution of 2019-nCoV", meaning that the sudden origin of the virus can not be explained by conventional models. 

2) for your research/teaching the origin at this point not important- treatment is, currently they are using Aluvia, a combination of lopinavir and ritonavir orally and nebulized alpha-interferon twice a day- so that's a possible direction to explore in terms of herbs, those are the allopathic meds they are using peace ✌🏻 out

19-nCoV new information for herbal treatments based on documents used for rapid development of vaccine, departures for study based on unfolding data, all further mentions of CV19 will refer to above strain. First: while yes this is a corona virus,  CV19 has unique profile which may guide herbal treatment. Second: previous posts forced removed on origin CV and so no further speculation on origin and will not respond to origin. Third: transmission is via bodily fluids or aerosol contact with persons infected, incubation 2 weeks, in prodromal stage infectious human to human.
Fourth: what is unique? '4 insertions in the spike glycoprotein (S) which are unique to the 19CV and are not present in other coronaviruses.' The S1 subunit helps in receptor binding and the S2 subunit facilitates membrane fusion. CV19 is most closely related to SARS CoV, with the following anomalies of 4 insertions that lock with genome HIV-1 sequence so binding likewise on CD4 unique for treatment. Fifth: the actual current treatment with best outcome in that country of origin is oral Aluvia or combo generic lopinavir and ritonavir both antiviral HIV meds, HIV protease inhibitors used in HIV treatment and well known to health care workers as prophylactic in accidental needle sticks, and nebulized alpha-interferon twice a day. Sixth: if interested i will post herbal treatments utilized in TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) and western herbal tradition 
corona virus prep, pandemic...we have to as people, develop an understanding of CV19, my teacher always talked about the global pandemic of 1918, i will see him later today, certain anomalies existed in mortality in specific areas of N and central CA NV an NM, where an herbal tradition existed with specific plants: Lomatium spp, Ligusticum porteri, osha, Anemopsis C, yerba mansa, Asclepias tuberosa, a Inmortal, in the mid west Eupatorium perfoliatum, bone set, Sambucus spp, elderberry ~ these plants later were found to have anti-viral properties. Later for me working in medical i found MRSA and Clostridium difficile, a spore, causing diarrhea, as nosocomial infections, spread in hospitals, bacteria that developed antibiotic resistance. 
     i never thought in my lifetime a pandemic would emerge like CV19. It has been rna genome analyzed and has 4 insertions on S portion of virus that are identical to 4 strands of HIV. This means the virus not only behaves like a normal air born, aerosol, droplet vector of transmission. Also it has fecal, transmissions like a noro- virus, stomach flu. Besides cytokine storm like a flu with respiratory pneumonia, it also seems to attack the immune system targeting liver, kidney and myocardial systems. It has been treated with HIV antivirals Alluvia, lopinavir and ritonavir. The problem is the nosocomial aspect, meaning you will have to in the next 2weeks. Have a secure place, and proven ways to treat it on your own. 
     i think at this stage, viral origin natural vs modified speculation is pointless. It is here it exists and we must develop a strategy. I mean a personal actual plan- the idea of masks and so on doesn't address the best way you can prevent infection- to strengthen the immune system.
Confluence 
     The confluence is we and I, able to meet and assemble and air our grievances and concerns, publicly and privately. Everyone has a right and duty to identify and advocate. As an individual and as groups of individuals with a  common identity. Straight, gay, non binary, women, men, queer, white, asian, latino, black, POC, homeless, 1A, 2A- need the ability to socially publicly advocate in the public space. 
     The Confluence, everyone has a breaking point, enough is enough. Not effecting me? Ok sure. It may have been a possible weaponized lyme, in the bodies of ticks, accident? Oh yeah, nothing to see here, keep moving. No significant population in the dry southwest, lyme. Not me, not us.
      Confluence, antifa and 2A marching in Virginia, peaceful, no arrests. State of emergency, free speech chain linked cages, Again not me, who wants AR15's, crazy right? Gun control.
      Confluence, 1A right to assemble, free speech. Nazi's supremacists banned, credit cards don't work, no patreon, media sites gone, deplatform, dox, no access to social media. Definitely, not me, I'm for diversity. Ban it, sure, we got it.
    Confluence, homeless camps Portland, LA, San Fran, coast to coast, every major city,  Not a problem right? Not me, I pay my bills. I got a place to live. Blah blah blah.
     Confluence, forced vaccinations, New Jersey State capital protests. I don't have kids, I got my flu shot. Stupid religious idiots, you don't have a right to say no vaccine to the federales. Ok sure, great.
     Confluence, well you know if you drive a car, then there have to be garages, parts factories, car manufacturing plants. It's the same for vaccines, they manufacture the vaccines in labs about 8-10 months in advance with models from the Southern Hemisphere. So it just so happens in the same place WuHan, China they have a government bio weapon research facility, Wuhan Institute of Virology, did a modified corona virus escape?. A year before they patented the virus. Was it a modified virus designed to target a specific dna profile? Is race and genetics a social construct?  Keep doing your DNA analysis kits, of course it's all confidential, like the microphone on your cell phone is confidential, like the location triangulation system doesn't have data that says exactly where you are at all times. So they patented a fairly harmless cold virus, were doing genetic racial DNA targeting, modified for next year's billion dollar flu campaign. It and the modified profile novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV escaped from the bio weapons research lab. No it's the animal market, where no one was sick that's the vector. Even though The Wuhan site has studied coronaviruses in the past, including the strain that causes Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, H5N1 influenza virus, Japanese encephalitis, and dengue. Researchers at the institute also studied the germ that causes anthrax -- a biological agent once developed in Russia.
      Confluence, weaponized virus, forced vaccinations, DNA profiling, race, the police stasi state combines with medicine, free speech, right to assemble, 2A- that's the confluence where we meet. As individuals and as groups of individuals. 
      You have the right to identify as part of a specific group and publicly advocate for yourself and members of that group, that's the confluence. Borders, nations, walls, lines on a map have no context in this because the time is soon here that AI, DNA manipulation, robotics, mutated virus merged with the technology we created combined with police medicine vaccinations will be as the great replacement. They will not divide us. 

1960 US had the highest life expectancy in the world, 
2020 ranks in the 45 neck and neck between Chile, Lebanon, Cuba 
Since 2012 US life expectancy has either stayed the same since 2015 or it's declined. Now  4 years in a row a decline in life expectancy. The only time this occurred was in 1917-1919 during the global pandemic. But the 2020 pandemic has not even occurred yet in those statistics. So something is wrong, something has been wrong, something in our life is screwed up, and screwed up for bunches of people. This unprecedented Drop in US life expectancy from 2014 thru 2020, has been reported in all major media sources. However major media sources although identifying both the demographic and the actual drop in life expectancy are unable to come up with the cause. Well I will tell you what the cause, the cause is the soft cultural war organized by those same mass media outlets to change the power structure of the population of the United States in order to establish a universal economic zone for the oligarchs. It's boring, repetitious, at this point I can mention the specific demographic with the decline, of course in the cultural narrative that would be banned speech. 
Largest increase death rates NH VT ME WV OH PA, so look at the demographics of those states and that will identify the people leading the decline. A couple of hints, these people are privileged and are unable to publicly identify or advocate for themselves as a group. How's that for a privileged group in the occupied economic zone. Gotcha!
       


                                     

https://youtu.be/cyDTB7Rfol0

     Here are some ramblings about energetics- herbal stuff...      i do find an increasing movement in liver energy here now, in the place here, and showing in the place plant people living here, with saguaro, sh'uaga or Larrea, ocotillo, brittle bush, with wood mesquite pulling water, the wood root moving the greening into branches above ground. 
      i have had to meet many people face to face, hear them talk story, with certain themes shared. As you mentioned JS previously with estafiate, the liver element, wood element, greening is the pattern now. So i frequently met lately: bilis *anger*, also susto or * fright, depression, bouts of tearfulness, anxiety, depression *, elevated blood pressure, the lung crud with wheezing on inhalation/exhalation which this year seemed to start with intestinal cramps/diarrhea, women with painful cramped menses, both actual abortions and figurative with botched failed plans in courses of action. 
      So how does Paul bro see it? Well, JS certainly i first acknowledge the wood liver greening meridian in the environment, estafiate with new green, the lushness of la gobernadora, brittlebush with the slightest hint of green, increased flexibility of the stems, the odd yellow blooms here and there on the southern slopes, mesquite with increased wetness in the still brown branches, mustard greens, canaigre leafing out- all say to me kami no michi in the form of bear energy has returned to the lowlands, with baby deer in the mansa which never completely turned red, mansa runners moving under the cover of cottonwood leaf duff. No more bear songs, they only being sung during the dormant time, with the signal being the lightning of late winter desert spring, the return of that binary circle of in and out breath of the landscape. 
     i, of course attempt, with persons, to validate the bilis, susto, the fear and uncertainty as legitimate and vital. i attempt to listen only the inertia/pause pendulum swing from winter to spring as descriptive rather than prescriptive. Feelings, emotions, mental states need to be experienced as not only conditions in the i, they need to be understood as descriptions of events beyond the i, occurring in low desert world. To imagine a situation where the whole environment is transitioning into greening movement and that movement would somehow not register in the people living in that place is ultimate cringe. Yet many attempt to live solely in the temperature control pods, then be shocked at a world outside that seeps into their dreams, goals and emotions. It presents as chaotic due to the block and denial of what is, many want only to pill it down and resume a comfort fairy tale zone of eternal economic growth, the ebb and flow of season as much a national park permit only hiking zone as their own emotions and deepest identity belief.
      So i attempt to communicate it's ok to be angry, frightened, tearful, euphoric or committed to change. Yet inevitably there is the prescriptive mode, what i should be, what i need to do, what i need to see, and a profound lack of confidence in just experiencing what is descriptive without judgement. 
         
Nail-Foot-Sydrome NFS allegory:
 This will probably lose you, so skip.... This is regarding both the opioid crisis epidemic and the mingled mangled mingling of the healthcare system with the police state, in an effort to subdue the population while at the same time appearing as saviors to that same population. The medical establishment in cooperation with physicians and medical providers made available abundant addictive opioid chemicals to American citizens. At exactly the same time the open borders on the south between America and Mexico, began to see an unprecedented amount of black tar heroin, methamphetamine, fentanyl, benzodiazepines, coming across the border with virtually no enforcement of existing drug laws, immigration laws, and combining simultaneously To produce a historic unprecedented  doping down of America. Doping down America with a flood of cheap, high profit, widely available addicting dangerous drugs in a symphony of addiction. Exactly at the same time the medical private medical fiefdoms miraculously begin addiction treatment centers, Popping off like fast food restaurants as a money grab for the unfortunate Americans horribly addicted and now bonds in this addiction, re-addiction underground economy, illegal drug trade, Addiction Treatment Center, Medicare fraud.
     NFS Nail-Foot-Syndrome:     So i find one useful story is the rusty nail, the foot-nail, or NFS. Nail Foot Sydrome.  This was about 10-15 years ago, my friend walked out to the shed one night a little drunk, to get a beer in a fridge we had out there for cold drinks. it was dark. He came back limping. i said, 'what happened?' He said, 'I stepped on a board with a nail in it.' So naturally we got out the mahonia, made a poultice with prickly pear and old man's beard, went heavy on the red root. No problem. Then i noticed friend after friend, old lovers, young kids, panhandlers at the circle K, all walking with a limp. All with the same story. Then went to the car, after a concert, saw a movie, went to work and on the way out, or the way back home, boom. Suddenly, without warning, big accident, they stepped on a board with a nail sticking out. i could see them at airports, shopping, limping and hobbling around. They all had the same story, 'stepped on a nail.'. They all had a special walking boot, with a cool logo, from the foot-nail treatment centers that were sprouting up on everywhere. Everybody was getting treatment, everyone was stepping on these boards with protruding nails. Famous movie, tv stars, rappers, politicians all had the same issue, they accidentally stepped on a nail and now were getting help for this epidemic. Now 15 years later, thank God we have public treatment centers. No one could say where it started. That's not entirely correct, there were violent, crazy hate filled individuals that criticized the treatment centers and of course they were  arrested or treated at different treatment centers. They weren't allowed to have access to social media, their names, places of work, pictures were published on the same YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram that banned them. They were exposed of course to protect the people getting help at the nail foot centers, NFS, around the country. Imagine how sick a person would have to be to prevent suffering people with nails in their feet from getting the help that was not only a right but now an obligation. Of course today, again thank God, you can get help for stepping on a nail. In fact if you suspect a loved one, someone on social media, anyone really, take a picture with your cell phone, you can call the police. Police teams will arrive in their shiny SUV's and do a quick walking exam. If a person has a limp or any foot pain, they can be taken to a NFS, nail foot treatment center. They will get help even if they don't recognize they have stepped on a nail. As an example my partners mother owned a beautiful house in the foothills, her mother was in her 70's and didn't recognize the signs and symptoms of NFS, nail-foot. The scary thing was, she didn't even know she was sick. So my partner who loved her Mom and her beautiful house in the foothills, who by that time had already gotten treatment, was in recovery and working at a NFS center. Her mom was whisked off in the middle of the night, was taken by the police to a NFS treatment center, handcuffed, taken to a center. Now she's in a residential NFS program for boomers getting the help she deserves. She was seen by Dr Krishna Abdullah who came all the way from the kingdom of Qtar to the desert to help us fight this epidemic in the valley. We are living now in her mother's house, it seems the untreated nail-foot syndrome took its toll and she is unable to leave the treatment facility. Sometimes we see Dr K Abdullah who lives nearby drive by in his black SUV. Abdullah is such an improvement over the doctors i saw as a child. I remember Dr Kazmyrski who our family saw, he would be chomping on an unlit cigar. He had a cooler with 7oz bottles of Coca-Cola, with a bottle opener on the side. He had little tiny wooden rocking chairs for kids that creaked on the wooden floor. He had a young lady with blonde hair who worked there and she would take your temperature with a glass thermometer that she would shake, place in your mouth, hold it to the light, then give you a lollipop. Everyone knew Dr Kaz always gave the girls on the hill a job as his nurse. If you were really sick Dr Kaz would come to your house with his doctors bag. I can remember him sitting at the kitchen table smoking his cigar and sipping 101 wild turkey Kentucky bourbon whiskey. Thank God today the police and firefighters are almost like doctors. You have Dr Abdullah and the police, the first responders and don't have to worry about cigars, bourbon, or blonde haired nurses, it feels much safer.

More Rambling this time with some fundamentalist religious mixed with herbalism, oh my gosh.....
     These are the 7seven plants, the seven trumpets, you should gather for what is ahead. The covenant is through Yahweh, Yaweh is salvation, Yahashua, asked me to share with you. 1)Elder leaf, Sambucus nigra/cerulea; 2)Yerba mansa leaf and root, Anemopsis californica; 3)wild licorice root, Glycyrrhiza lepidota;
4)Ginger root/ 5)tumeric root; 6)Lobelia leaf stem; Lobelia inflata; 7)Red root Ceanothus fendleri; 
Joshua 6:6 "Joshua (Yaweh is salvation) the son of Nun, called the priests, and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, (as in gather in a box) Arōn Ha'brēt and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before Yahweh’s ark." Yaweh has made a covenant and you should know it. 
These are the seven you should know. Some you are seeing today you may not see again, yet although our covenant is by blood, we should not fear ““Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, nor be discouraged, for יהוה your Elohim is with you wherever you go.””
‭‭Yehoshua (Joshua)‬ ‭1:9‬ ‭TS2009‬‬
      You should know how to prepare them. Gather fresh elder leaf and dry, 1:5 ratio dried herb to 50% alcohol, the same with dried lobelia. If you are using fresh herbs then increase the alcohol percentage. You may also use apple cider vinegar or wine for the herbs. You should do the ginger and tumeric together add a little honey. You can also add honey to the other vinegars. The elder leaf is best dry as it's too strong fresh, although some use it fresh, i do not. i would keep all the herbs separate except for the ginger/tumeric. You'll be meeting people soon who can help you find them and prepare them. 

     a bushy y'all, Sambucus nigra, elder, all leafed out, at about 2200 feet. Gather leaf and dry, tincture 1:5 with about 40-50% alcohol, for kids go with vinegar or wine. Fresh leaf tastes too strong, drying takes care of most of the nausea, still leaving the compounds that help with cough. It is warming, sweating, urination and promotes bowel movement - so pay attention to hydration while using.
     What i found is the cough is dry, unproductive that produces wheeze in/out. The sickness feels damp but has a cool edge for now. The lobelia loosens phlegm and helps with get mucus running, so it doesn't settle. Enables breathing. Ginger-tumeric is a servant herb and a mover. If breathing becomes impacted go to ma-huang or our native ephedras- or roll a smoke with mullein and dry well aged datura, one or two puffs.
     The elder promotes urination, sweating, bowel movement- so be careful not to get too dry. Lay in direct sun 11am-3pm naked for up to 1 hour or more as per skin type to get vitamin D- don't be afraid of the sun, this is unique situation and you need sun, even if you are blonds. 
      For kids- all the herbs can be made acetum vinegar and honey, or wine. Again this is unique situation so throw out idea of not giving wine or alcohol to kids, they will need to get these herbs in their body. Be well and don't give into fear.

gentian review

        understanding gentian root a basic review.  so here  a basic review...
       in a world created by God everything is God created, plants are living beings they are part of the creation story-song in a specific place. our relationship with plants involves the basic salvation-story of our souls within the creation. the plants and the plant knowledge of people, plants and place is part of the heritage we inherit and move forward. the gentian pictured here is gentian affinis, blue pleated gentian.
     there are many plants of the gentian family and their flowers range from this purple blue flowered variety to pale yellow white. in general it is a plant of high mountain meadows. the use of gentian root and leaves by itself and in bitter formulas is a long tradition.
   
     
                                                 

      gentian works a bitter principle to promote digestion.  gentian is a God created wild plant met in the mountains. God has provided us a healing dialog with plants.  digestion is a bodily process that touches on fire, air, water, earth, each element created by God. digestion  is an ordained by God occurrence in the body for us to live. digestion is taking in. when understanding digestion there is self/not-self, inside/outside. when the body can not extract harmoniously the things it needs to survive from food we need to understand that it is a problem of frontiers and boundaries, inside/outside, self/other.  from that we enter into the auto-immune disorders, inflammation and allergy. the body's ability to recognize self/not-self is compromised.
     traditionally in europe bitter herbal formulas were used before meals as an aperitif. the herbs were preserved in alcohol. gentian root and sometimes leaf was used along with carminative heating herbs in bitter formulas. the dried root as a tea in water is used in the same way. using gentian in this way is meeting the plant face to face where it grows and using the whole plant rather than disecting it in a laboratory or standardizing for specific components.
      understanding and  journey with plants often battles the secular cultural narrative of separation. narrative outside of a compartmentalized world. the cultural narrative  living in a secular, God-less economic zone of the empire the task of the dialectic moving through re-written history is to create through electronic media the new fluid gender generic person to inhabit a purely economic space. there is continuous re-education efforts to fashion people to generic consumers. every effort is made to create a safe environment for the race-less, gender-less participants of perfect consumerism. within the dialectic of modernism tribal-family ties of loyalty to the earth in a specific place must be purged. the question of how to preserve the existence of our people and a future for our children, is not a theory or concept- it is the intricate fabric of life. so when confronting auto-immune processes gone awry it is not only the physical small world body that has been altered but also the eco-systems, the earth household and family that are altered.
      in promoting the dialectic of modernism within the empire new consumer paradise, all kinds of new illnesses arise. because the process of living in a multi-cultural space is often toxic and unsatisfactory within the new consumer paradise. there are continuous efforts to make available boundless supplies of new pharmaceutical drugs available to treat these new illnesses. not only are pharmaceuticals advocated for physical illness, pharmaceuticals are used to alter the emotional heart, the thinking, the mood. yet for every new drug there are unintended consequences. there is no such thing as a drug that works on a particular body system without effecting every other body system. a drug supposedly for the breathing as in asthma must also effect the liver, the heart, the brain, the emotions, the thinking, the personality and gestalt. there are receptor sites all over the body. the body created by God is not a machine. there are no static isolated processes within the body. likewise medication for behavioral issues, mood and thought disorders don't stay within the brain. dopamine, and serotonin receptor sites are found throughout the body, effecting every body system. again the body is not a machine. medications built in a lab do not have smooth machine like functions within the body. A medication taken for a thought disorder effects the heart's ability to pump blood, effects the pancreas and glucose/insulin dynamic, breathing and respiration.
these so called psych meds while also effecting the entire body dynamic also effect people of different genetic/racial differently.  
     currently i live and was raised in empire. my language, english is empire. in the grand bargain the language of my parents was hush hush so that their offspring, not children, but off spring could participate in empire.  from the social standpoint, the huge experimental process of empire building accelerating. part of the vast social experiment of empire is a conversion to secular life. become interchangeable parts in an economic zone.
     regardless of view, like weed flowers poking out of the asphalt parking lot, people with actual memories, and at times people who because they are created by God, living in a God created world through joy or crisis spontaneously move towards living the old ways with plants such as gentian their medicine.
     our life is not only physical. our life is not only defined by economic terms. part of the cross of Jesus Christ is to portray and advocate for a spiritual place, a home for our people, a community where families may thrive. to view life solely as a material chemical and physical process is to demean it. likewise to understand my work with plants as solely medical, scientific and pharmaceutical is to limit and change what i am doing. any kind of situation i am in is "in him we live and move and have our being" Acts 17:28. it is not that i am living, then digesting, then studying herbs, then going to church. everything is informing one another, because it is in him we have out being. likewise plants. likewise the process of the plants. likewise collecting and gathering plants, it's all sacred activity and spiritual work.
an essential part of this work is tasting the bitter gentian root. developing formulas 
         when you look at the body and look at the mouth and look at the hole where the food leaves the body, it's difficult to find inside and outside. the reason is that the inside/outside of a living being is fundamentally different than the inside/outside of a machine.  beings engage with the world in a fundamentally different way than a machine. the language of empire has accelerated to a technologically place of propaganda. consumers see the world in economic terms. slogans are repeated from movies, television,  and mnemonic repetitive  music. language as a tool of empire doesn't readily capture the overt effort to create a universal economic space. within the dialectic of empire a mode of experiencing is encouraged that makes it difficult to encounter. to further the economic goal of consumerism language embedded in technology shifts the paradigm. one another as persons is shifted to sales, customer service, buying and selling.
     we can think of the cheeks and face as being somehow on the outside. but what about the lips?  are lips inside or outside? or are they at the frontier of inside/outside. as we go further we can see the mucosa of the digestive system somehow inside/outside and frontier. in the body it's like this, the deeper you go you will find it difficult to say inside/outside.  yet there is self and other. and it has to do with movement of elements of fire, wind, water and earth. there is spontaneous recognition of self and other , along with connection and interpenetration with our small world body and the big world spinning planet body. before all else is events with Jesus being born to Virgin Mary now queen of heaven and earth. Elijah his servant on the mt carmel looking for the cloud to bring rain. 1 Kings 18:44 "Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand." 
     we must re-own the cultural narrative of language. language for our history was words spoken. language was words heard remembered. language in the consumer market lab is language/machine. machines speak the words and the drone of electronically repeated phrases broadcast the dialectic of societal revolution. 
      one thing that is absolutely clear is that our lives are not mechanical processes. the plants we use are not mechanical. plants are living beings created by God, they too live and move, and have their being in Jesus Christ. if somebody says, 'the body is like an automobile and food is like gasoline.', or 'the brain is like a computer.', above all re-education is required. if you are seeing gentian working solely through the bitter secoiroid glycosides present in the roots to increase gastric secretions then you have been marginalized. we must be able to speak freely. 
     with all the elements of water, earth, fire, wind there is information of the plants and their qualities. the plants have stayed awhile in place and taken on specific qualities of their place. when we take a plant like gentian we are taking the life of God's breath in our hand with gratitude and intention. Romans 3:18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes." above all there must be caution when working with living things. be cautious and alert to what is going on around you and learn how to watch and pray. Mark 14:38 "watch ye and pray." learn to watch and pray let that be your practice.
     water, earth, fire and air, these 4 elements are happening by God in a good way. Genesis 2:7 "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." so, whatever is happening with gentian,  or plants, our healing herbs or whatever we are  doing while we are alive it is all coming back to this basic understanding and principle. there at a certain point it becomes two and two. just as on the Ark, "two and two with breath" Gen 7:15 "two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life", whatever life we have is on loan from God, not only our life but the life of the plants that we use for healing, all from God. Gen 2:9 "And out of the ground made יהוהElohim to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil." whatever is happening or not happening, has to be put into this framework, this principle, this context and this is how we work with the plants. we are always working with an ecosystem which is an earth household, and and with divine providence we must use all our skillful means to have this occur, for self and others.
     with fire we receive our bodily warmth. we are flexible, wet, moist, not cold, lifeless, brittle, dry and stiff.   from wind we receive our breathing in and out. God as the Holy Ghost makes available to us breath. we have borrowed for a short time God's wind. water is our blood in the same way water is a flowing stream or rain from spinning clouds. our body comes from the earth, from rocks, stone or mineral. multiculturalism is wonderful until our deepest heart comes face to face with Christ the King, or Mary the Mother of God. plants only stand approximately to science. learning with plants must happen directly face to face with the plants and a few people here and there. "can't you just tell me what it is?" yes, i would love to tell you what it is however this is not the time or place and we are not ready to speak about gentian and the bitter principle. gentian involves going deeper into our experience.... 
    it helps when approaching  plants  allow the principles to come into play. this may be a foreign concept or a familiar experience.  the work is encouraging others and sharing. i thought it would be best to review basic concepts.
although time is quickly running, it has not run out. there is still breathing. in this breath wind is the power of God, mixed with water, filled with earth, power of green. there is a correspondence between holy ghost still flowing there in lightning clouds. you are breathing and greening is evidenced in your red blood, the moisture in your breath. so regardless it is still possible to embrace. it is miraculous work to live today. when we see greening stepping forward as plants with seed, fruit and flowers, this is the first day. the sun is fire, it has embraced the ground. valerian kiss, hugs and embraces, giggles and laughter of all kinds. gentian makes it easier to pull the light of God into our stomach as fire....
      despised and shunned is nothing new, knowledge is not so much withheld but rejected, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge", Hosea 4:6 who's voice is dismissed and discounted can be important to hear. unless someone is poking you with a red hot poker then you are being triggered. it's important to listen calmly. you can only respond when there is quiet. "And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word." Lk 10:38 so we take the "Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart." LK 2:19, this is the vital principle of being in the place and sitting with the plants because in this situation answers will occur. especially when out and about be aware that this is God's garden and present here.
         put out of your mind any issue that says no/can not. it is being done and if plants are growing then you connect.  greening is what we work with, everything else will pull together.
     it's hard for me to understand prayer without a female presence. birth without a mother Mary, or savior Jesus? it is impossible for me to understand healing without acknowledging the power to thrive in green leaves. 
      when thinking of health i think of life pleasing to God. the power plants to heal has to do with the greening power of the leaves. health is the strength and power to thrive and it can only come to us from God by grace. much of suffering pain despair and depression is connected with embracing the stupid, latching on and then through hubris not acknowledging that we need to change our fundamentals. we want more pills but we also want to hold onto our stupid. we need to let go of stupid let go of our pills and embrace the green.                                              
         in the dominant culture it's familiar to describe someone as being sick and in need of a pill or more pills to become better. you will find many people that can name 10 or 15 diseases but they cannot name 10 or 15 green plants for healing. for them the only thing that they have are bushes and shrubs. it is an additive process so that someone has a certain disease routine and continues that disease routine with the addition of more pills. someone is given electric tests and passed through various forms of electricity and then it's all put in the computer, this is a kind of permitted healthcare of  dominant culture. in this way we embrace stupid. 
     the Holy Ghost is breath dwelling in living beings, in and out, spirit. light and fire, the sun seeks out the plants and they embrace one another, earthed with readiness, and this divine presence mixes with the physical world to make green. so encountering green with skillful means is working with plants to God them with green, gradually as they are able to remedy. 

Psalm 104:29-30  "Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. 30Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth."
     we have elaborate models of disease. there is abuse and trauma. there is addiction. there are bugs, virus bacteria and parasites. we like to think that someone is anxious because of some situation within their brain some kind of chemical balance or imbalance, when really what is happening is that a person has divorced themselves from the healing green. community and the grace as family as it relates closest to the green energy is remedy. an embrace of divorce is a waste of energy that may cost you the green moment. throwing pills into the mix is pointless. it is relationship that must be restored. the primal relationship is green. it is meritless to pretend that the breath of creation as the holy ghost can be left out of treatments. if you treat green plants in the same way that the dominant culture treats pills then it is true you will do less harm however at a certain point you will also do little good. we must do the most good and the least harm
      the spirit of God and our bodies is the same way as the light of the sun on the rich moist earth, mixed with rain from above and moisture within bringing the green. in our own bodies this green is red blood, bone and sinew. between us is friendships. the greening will to become further.  remember it is God who placed the rain and sun, now plants of green so when gathering remember Ezekiel 37:9 Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. the life lived is eternal

Batamote

Batamote
     Signs and symptoms. In terms of healing and an etiology of dis-ease. How it presents. A puffy red raised warm to touch area, painful, uncertain, scary. discomfort. Bacharis glutinous (salicfolia) seep willow. 
                                              


... as a girl of thirteen she was visiting her mother's family in Sonora for the first time alone apart from the rest of her family. During the night she had been bit on the right lower forearm by an insect, maybe a spider. She wasn't sure. When she woke she was worried and afraid because she was visiting her grandfather's and had planned on staying a week and her Mom would come to take her back to Tucson. The ranch was a long way from everything. They had good food, water, horses but no telephone. Everything was different at the ranch. Time moved slower. She was happy. Now this. Her wrist was achy, warm, red and swollen. 
                                         


        When looking at a map it is important to find, you are here, where you are on the map. Then you can pick out a route, a path. Then the map makes sense. Plants at their most fundamental element are memories of place. She showed her arm to her grandfather and told him she was sad because she was making problems and would have to leave and go back to the city to see a doctor. Her grandfather was Yaqui with knowledge of healing plants. They walked together to the little stream to the horse coral. He showed her a plant growing there, and told her not to worry. He would make her better, with batamote. He showed her how to gather batamote, a plant growing near the wash at the side of their house where the horses watered. He placed the fresh leaves of batamote on the painful red swollen arm. Holding them in place with a piece of cotton cloth wrapped loosely so the skin could breathe. Plants link us and pull us in to a place saying to us, "This is where you are." "You are here." 
                                   
          Batamote, Baccharis glutiosa, is a southwest abundant perennial woody stem plant growing where water is close to the surface. A desert-riparian plant, desert riparian being used in the sense of an intermittent dry/wet stream usually dry. That may have cottonwoods, bottonbrush, Dodenaea, sycamores, mesquite, palo Verde, cat claw and an assortment of long thin lancelot leafed waxy aromatic plants. As such batamote initiates healing movement when applied to the surface of skin. It is a well tolerated and a useful medicine box plant. It's important when moving on a journey to have a map and orient yourself on the map. i am here. It furthers to have somewhere to go. 
                                


     En el siglo XVI, Francisco Hernández refiere: "resuelve admirablemente los tumores que han penetrado en las articulaciones o en los nervios y calma cuales quiere dolores quitando su causa. Las raíces machacadas, extraen lo que se ha clavado en la carne, provocan notablemente la orina y limpian su conducto, alivian a los que sufren cólicos, quitan las manchas en la cara, curan la erupción de la cabeza de los niños y la de todo el cuerpo, quitan las fiebres provocando sudor, reducen el bazo y mitigan el dolor; quitan la flatulencia, curan el empacho y resuelven los tumores.     

                                        

       In the sixteenth century, Francisco Hernández wrote, "it resolves admirably the congestion that has penetrated the joints or nerves and calms pain by removing its cause. The roots crushed, extract what has been stuck in the flesh. It encourages urination and cleanses the kidney.  It relieves those who suffer colic and empacho. With infants it can cure the red rash of the children's head and the whole body. It helps the body with productive fever by causing sweat. It reduces an enlarged spleen.  Remove the gas, flatulence and bloating of the stomach in empacho, curing the discomfort of the hard ball"   -translation by Paul Manski


       " Empacho is a term used in the south west and refers to stomach distress, Empacho is when food gets stuck in the intestines or accumulates around the stomach. It often manifests with a blocking in the epigastric area.
                                     


    There is a special type of emapacho that occurs with nursing mothers and their babies. Women and girls are often nursing, feeding babies and both their state of mind and what they are doing influences their milk. This can create colic in the baby drinking the mommas milk. Therefore fruits that are "cold" like oranges and watermelons, should not be consumed by pregnant women whose nature at that time is "hot". Likewise they should avoid windy places because the wind can enter the milk. In this sense, the ingestion of "cold" or "hot" food in the nursing mother can cause milk "curds" and harm the infant, just as if being in the sun too much she in excess or suffers a "cooling off" when wash or take a bath. Consequence of this is the "enlechamiento"  a variety of 'colic' that occurs when the child eats breast milk under the conditions listed, or mom offers her milk too frequently, too much,  or Mom nurses her baby after suffering a surprise event (shock) or a stressful event. In all cases, the milk is in lumps, and produces colic in the baby. The baby will be filled with gas and crying, if it progresses the baby will lose sleep and lose weight.
     If the Mom is frightened, or mistreated by her husband, if there is a lot of yelling in the house, this can spoil the milk. If the woman is angry or jealous she may spill bile into the milk, creating empacho in the baby. Empacho can also be caused by older women beyond child bearing years who is jealous of the Mom with her baby. Jealous of her youth and beauty, she may intentionally or unintentionally stare at the Mom or kiss the baby and create a special type of empacho which can be helped by this remedio, but it may require a cleansing by someone able to do so."

        Batamote drew out the poison, soothed the pain and within a few hours swelling and redness was decreased. There was improvement. Things were manageable, coming back into balance. She continued to apply fresh batamote leaf directly to her skin, covering it with cotton to hold the leaves in place, just as her grandfather showed her. She liked that she was able to take care of herself. She decided that day that she wanted to help other people get better. She wanted to be like her grandfather. She walked down to the water and picked a few small branches and stripped the leaves placing them in bag.
                                        


    She showed me a small mark on her arm where she was bitten. To be honest i didn't see anything. She saw it though and remembered. It was still visible to her 50 years later. The wound, her grandfather, the ranch with horses, the cool water, the batamote and the healing plants.
                              



   Batamote is a plant with many uses, it draws out poison from insect stings applied topical as a poultice. It is anti-inflammatory. It grows along seasonal desert riparian zones creeks and washes. It's leaves are lacerate, like a lance or blade, pointed, soft with fine serrations along the edges. willow like, sometimes called a seep willow, though not a Salix or willow. An Asteracea, sunflower family member. As a hair rinse/wash it is said to increase hair growth and make the hair shiny. It helps women maintain a full head of hair and stimulates the hair follicle. Another topical use is the dried leaves powdered and applied to the toes for fungal infection, also washing the toes in batomote.
    Internally batamote addresses empacho much like poleo, Nebada, Poleo,  Menta de Lobo and Hinojo. It also acts on the stomach to re-regulate appropriate stomach acid and aid healing in GI ulcers similar to Conyza canadensis, by nourishing the delicate mucosa of the GI tract damaged by overactive colitis and chrohn's disease. Addresses the issue of leaky gut and restoring homeostasis. 


     
How it presents. What it feels like. Plants are graceful, grace abiding and compassionate. Often illness produces a "where am i?", uncertainty. What is going on?  'Lost but now i'm found'- plants then become amazing grace. Needing to go nowhere else. Meeting a disease process. Able to stay where you are.

Dodonaea viscosa

Dodonaea viscosa and Bio-Actigeneration       

****Note: Before gathering any plant. Know and study that plant. Identify the plant!! Know that Dodonaea, hop tree has deadly look alike plants growing frequently, especially in urban environments, in the same habitat. That can easily be mistaken of one another. In other words don't gather or use this plant until you can tell the difference. The plant i am talking can kill- Until you can tell them apart, leave them alone.***     

Dodonaea viscosa is a ubiquitous plant. Ranked one of the top four most versatile herbs in any first aid kit. Top three herbs for liver restoration on the same level of Milk Thistle. And, and yes, a cool name for a baby if you're PG or heading that way, or plan to adopt- use it, for a name that is- be original. A power plant, an adaptogenist actualizer. Use the plant, use the name. No body cares what you do anyway. Nice baby name. Or legally change your name, or a new ... tattoo, I'm Dodonaea. The plant tells me, please use me. Don't pass me by. Please. 'Hey you!', 'Yeah you.', come on over. As you get older time speeds up, so don't wait. At a certain point there is a convergence that smells like adaptogenic activation across the board, in and out,
Up and down, inside outside, internal external - no need to go any further hop seed bush.
                          

    Dodonaea, named for a 16th century Flemish botanist, named after a man living in the only place where it doesn't grow- go figure. Viscosa meaning the young leaves are sticky. Makes sense. Belonging to family Sapindaceae soap berry. Also known as hops bush by taste, though unrelated to Humulus. Kinda of resembles wild hops when it dries in that both are papery, the strobes of hops and the seeds of hop bush. Used by early Australian settlers for beer brewing, the same in Mexico-America because of it’s bitter hop-like flavor. Does it taste like hops? It is bitter with a little warming in there.
                                       
   It grows extensively in Arizona from the Superstitions through Phoenix, diagonally south into Tucson and then into the Sierra Madre south to Sonora. Stepping out of climate controlled box you’ll see it and say, ‘Oh yeah, I know that one.’ It’s also used as an urban landscape plant because it’s green all year, pretty and lush and drought tolerant. So you'll see it around town as a hedge along city streets. See it in the washes. See it on the rocky slopes. It's there, trust me. You can find people who say, invasive, others say native. Pan-global, as in everywhere. It's here and not going anywhere.
                                             


     It’s a perennial shrubby evergreen bushy shrub. Hard to miss as it’s 3feet to 7-8 feet high. So it's a big loud in your face plant. It doesn't hide, it's in the open. Dodonaea has come out, showing tattoos, doesn't need special soil or conditions. I take that back. It's a desert droughty plant that likes hot and drought. Got snow? You're out of the loop. OK? The leaves are striking green. Are the leaves pretty? Yes the leaves are pretty. They are sleek, long, thin like a acrobat or yogini clothes hanger model, with thick auburn hair who can bend backwards all the way down, smelling like a mix between patchouli, BO and youthful fertility. Leaves with lines long and thin with a single center prominent vein or simple, essentially sessile, linear to oblanceolate. The seeds are winged like a big saltbrush wing, 3-4 lobes not consistent, with a papery covering. It’s in washes and rocky slopes. Can you find it where I live? Probably. Maybe. I don't know where you live.                      

    I learned about this plant first from somebody special, an original and maybe the original bioregional herbalist who coined the term, which many tried then tried to steal unsuccessfully. this person often working out of teaching Tucson, Arizona and the sky islands. Please enjoy, play guess the herbalist here. ???
     Dodonaea viscosa is a rare pan-global native medicinal plant: native and prolific in Arizona SW, Australia, Africa, Tasmania, Hawaii, Asia. It’s hard to find a more plentiful underused plant than Dodonaea viscosa. The literature of research is extensive both from an ethnobotanical and scientific standpoint. When describing Dodonaea it literally sounds like many different plants. Scientific study reads like a mix up, a wish mash of several plants, partially because they are referring to the wholeplant outside of commercial standardized extract.  
     Where ever it grows whether Asia, Australia, Africa or the hot desert southwest of North America, native people have used it for basically similar uses. Everything. What native people? Everyone. Look don't talk native  a typical mongrel American who can only trace  pedigree back to my Mom, and she is dead, what do I know about native? Nothing. Please.

     What medicinal uses? Everything. Which again makes it hard to categorize. Imagine a plant for sprains, pin worms, tooth ache, soothing skin wash, GI ulcers. How about weight loss and orgasm? Sorry those are two things it doesn't do...but wait...In oil as a salve, water as a tea, alcohol as a tincture, direct as a poultice. What? 
     Movement. Relaxation. Liver protectant more protective than milk thistle. Respiratory. Anti-bacterial. Anti-fungal, inside, outside- plentiful, not at risk, attractive but no shaved head sides with bangs yet. Yet we may get that soon, hopefully. What?
    When reading the literature, then reviewing my hand written notes from JJ’s field school, I find myself saying, “Wait, did I mix it up with another plant?’, surely it can’t do all that? And I ask why would a plant with so many vital uses be virtually unused, unheard of, and unknown? 
                                          

   The only answer I have is that lives and information has grown so insulated and groupthink-affirming, fake-news that herbal info just snow balls into cliché sound bites of predictability. blah blah blah. He said. She said. I bought it from superfood Activator Snake oil tribe. Wow. Sorry. Can’t be bought. Can’t be sold. Can't buy it ha ha ha. 
      There are true informational walls based on how can I sell this? It’s difficult for many to use a plant that has no monetary value. Well you can use it and it is worthless. You can use it and explore what it does without attaching a dollar amount. You can use it without worrying about depleting it, cause it's everywhere and not going anywhere. If anything it has an expanding range. Is it native to North America? Experts say it is, do you believe experts? I do rarely sometimes.
    Few are going directly to the plants. Remember there is no U/you in few. So just do it. Step out of the box. Grab a couple handful of the new tender recent growth. Dry it. Taste it. Salve it. Tincture it. Try it. Check out Dodonaea If you’re a person who is going to the plants directly, way to go. Continue. Advice on use:I can tell you what not to do because I have failed so often. I can not tell what to do because I have succeeded so infrequently. 
     So please work on removing sound bite fake information: What? Hypericum St John’s wort = herbal prozac, skin sensitivity for blondes. Reishi: Adaptogen, activator, super food, cures cancer, female viagra. The tendency to description of plants with a price tag. Rarely refer to anything except money toilet tornadoes with slick predictively smooth sale pitch. Always pointing toward, ‘Who said it?’, rarely, “What did they say?” Frequently go to the plants find out from them what they are for. 
   Wait, going to the plants, "Sounds dangerous." It is dangerous. So use caution. Educate yourself because there are poisonous look alikes. Poisonous look alikes? Yes, Definitely. Yes deadly poisonous look alike also a landscape plant, Oleander. So if you can't ID it, don't gather. First educate yourself.
    Go dangerous, step out of the box. Fall on your face. Use Dodonea to nurse you're bruises and scrapes. Doesn't care about body arm pit hair or if you can be smelled from 25 feet away. Likes wind. Encourages movement.
     While reviewing my notes I kept saying, ‘C’mon Jay you’re making that up.’ At a certain point you got to make stuff up, it's about the plants. We’re a community of entertainers.

      Liver gall bladder stimulating and simultaneously relaxing. Relaxation sinew and ligament, spreading and softening, looser. Squeezing out bile, increased peristalsis. 
             

   Taste:YOU taste it, don’t let me typecast it for you. Acrid, pungent slight sweetness along with bitterness. Resembles Larrea tridenta in taste, not as sweet. Warming bitter, yes. The perfect bitter? Close.

Carminative- dispels gas

Antispasmodic- smooths out muscles similar to estafiate. Better than Silk Tassel, ho ho ho. You salivate, movement, relax. Wait did you say antispasmodic, like silk tassel, and pin worms parasites? wow, are we talking lyme yet? close.
                 
Topically, in Sonora and world wide for scrapes, wounds, as a wash, fomentation, poultice for sprains.  Also to soothe skin. Is it anti-microbial on the skin? Yes. Helps healing with rashes abrasions? Yes.

Liver restorer: Silymarin milk thistle a standard against what other things are measured for liver. Liver enzymes to normal homeostasis. Enhanced detoxification of liver.  These hepatoprotective effects were better than the positive control silymarin. 

Respiratory and topical:Antifungal- chronic respiratory infections in SW from dust and soil born organisms, adjunct to Chillopsis. (Desert willow) Live in Arizona? Got a cough with athletes foot? Mixing up a batch of stinky kombuchu candida down below? You are good to go.
       
Internally: promising antiulcer activity. Also inhibited acid secretion to prevent ulcer aggravation. Would combine well with Canadian fleabane for GI gut health. Is it gluten free? Totallly.

Wound healing_ as a wash
Seeds- analgesic: toothe ache
Anti-inflammatory did I say anti-inflammatory? 

The antimicrobial activity inhibition of candida albicans in studies. three Gram negative bacteria: Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Both for toothache and candida, mouth issues immuno compromised HIV patients.

So what will you use it for? Probably better does it work for you? Or What can’t you use it for? Find it, use it, don't abuse it.
