Joe Biden Out in Apparent Palace Coup Mon Jul 22, 2024 17:30 | Eugyppius
Biden's team was still obliviously tweeting his resolve to fight on hours after he had decided to step down. So was the matter taken out of his hands? It has all the signs of an opportunistic palace coup, says Eugyppius.

Who Will Guard Us Against the Guardian?s ?Fact Checks?? Mon Jul 22, 2024 15:34 | David Craig
The Guardian has published a 'fact check' of Donald Trump's claims about inflation and immigration. Just one problem, says David Craig: the 'fact check' gets its facts wrong. Who will guard us against the Guardian?

The only sure 'investment' in this era,is Food.
You may remember the old Indian saying....'.......not until the last tree is standing will man realize that he cannot eat Money.
It's getting that time again.
Below is a good Food source in Co.Kerry that will sell Food in bulk or in small quantities on Saturdays just in case you cannot wait for it to grow. Irish seed savers in Scarriff Co.Clare are another great source for indigenous seeds. It is great to see People making moves in this way towards growing their own food , the necessity of which may be sooner rather than later.

This is a great idea, I think it's time might well be come already.
There are many things we need to do to create a viable and sustainable society, and far greater self-sufficiency and co-operation between communities at a grass roots level is definately crucial.
Maith sibh!
Theres no reason why this country cannot provide all its citizens with top quality affordable organic food given the tremendous natural resources Ireland has in terms of world class farmland, climate variety of soil types etc. Sadly this is being stymied by the state, IFA etc. pandering to the interests of big agri-business, large multiples like Tesco, developers and speculators all of whom dictate that farming and farmland is simply used and abused for the benefit of those in the golden circle.
No more feckin new zealand apples, with all their oil miles and killing off local organic food markets.
Yes, to seedsavers apples, cork food network apples, dolphins barn garden apples etc....
like the seed, planted, it grows...
In this time of crisis, there is the opportunity for a radical reshape of how we live, work, eat....
G´on da rebels...
Again, the rebels show the way..

Furter by, and in connection with, Corks plans, dreams and actions. Here in Barcelona we are trying to develop deeper our urban food systems; to try to create TUGZ, maybe ye might be on there in cork, or dublin, or tralee, ardee....wherever to try the same...
Strange times indeed, but in this time of crisis, its our opportunity to let leash the eco, food, healthy, fun, revolution.... Its already well underway.

If things get as bad as they can, as quick as they can, this type of thing will become quite common, quite quickly. See, for example, what happened to Cuba, when oil went, its peak oil period. many green dots, join up to make chains, CPULS (continous productive urban landscapes)....
