A "Republican Form of Government" Denied by Regionalism

By Donna Voetee

Member of the Stakeholder Plus Committee of Sustainable Places Project

Introduction

I am Donna Voetee, a woman made in our Father YHWH Elohim's image and endowed by my Creator with certain unalienable Rights. I am a sovereign by the grace of God. I am one of the People of the United States of America, the State of Texas, and the City of Lockhart. I am currently a member of the Stakeholder Plus Committee of the Sustainable Places Project.

It is my moral duty to speak up and warn others when I see danger or a crime being committed, lest I be held guilty for others' harm or be complicit in wrongdoing. I see both; therefore, this letter serves as a warning as well as exculpation.

Background 

The Sustainable Places Project is a grant to Lockhart of software that is part of the Agenda 21 plan to bring all cities and communities of the world under regional governance, which is really global in scope. 

1. The Sustainable Places Project is an attempt to unlawfully defraud the people of Lockhart of their sovereign power and unalienable rights of life, liberty, and property; their right to a republican form of government; and their right of self-government.

The City of Lockhart's alliance with Capital Area Council of Governments (CAPCOG) violates the Lockhart City Charter, the Texas Constitution, and the United States Constitution.

Lockhart City Charter

We, the citizens of Lockhart, Texas, in order to establish a home rule municipal government, provide for the future progress of our City and obtain more fully the benefits of local self-government, do hereby adopt this Home Rule Charter in accordance with the statutes of the State of Texas; 

The Texas Constitution

   ARTICLE 1. BILL OF RIGHTS

   That the general, great and essential principles of liberty and free government may be recognized and established, we declare:

Sec. 1.  FREEDOM AND SOVEREIGNTY OF STATE.  Texas is a free and independent State, subject only to the Constitution of the United States, and the maintenance of our free institutions and the perpetuity of the Union depend upon the preservation of the right of local self-government, unimpaired to all the States.

Sec. 2.  INHERENT POLITICAL POWER; REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT.  All political power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their benefit.  The faith of the people of Texas stands pledged to the preservation of a republican form of government, and, subject to this limitation only, they have at all times the inalienable right to alter, reform or abolish their government in such manner as they may think expedient.

The U.S. Constitution

Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution: “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a republican form of government.”

Let every Lockhart City Council member call to mind the day you raised your hand and took an oath to uphold the Law of the Land, the Constitution of the United States of America, and the laws of the State of Texas, and the Lockhart City Charter.

2. It is critical to tonight’s discussion to understand what is meant by a “republican form of government”.

Let us define “Republic.” This is from Black’s Law Dictionary, 7th Ed.
REPUBLIC. n. A system of government in which the people hold the sovereign power and elect representatives who exercise that power. It contrasts on the one hand with a pure democracy, in which the people or community as an organized whole wield the sovereign power of government, and on the other with the [sovereign] rule of one person, such as a king, emperor, czar, etc.

We see that the FORM of the sovereign power tells us if there exists a republic, a democracy, or a monarchy.

So what is the SOURCE of that sovereign power?

For most of history that we know of, the world lived under the concept of the source of that power coming from a divinity directly to an earthly representative, called the Divine Right of Kings. What the king said was law and the king was god, thus the word “divine”; all life was in his hands.

In England, all power and authority was presumed to come from the Hebrew God, YHWH Elohim.

In 800 A.D., King Alfred recognized that God’s Law was the law for all, and he codified the Ten Commandments into what became known as the English Common Law.

Later on, noblemen in 1066 started to realize that their lands were their lands, and that even the poor man had property rights. Article 31 of the Magna Charta: “Neither we nor our bailiffs shall take, for our castles or for any other work of ours, wood which is not ours, against the will of the owner of that wood.” 

In 1382, John Wycliffe translated the Bible into English so that the plowman could be as familiar with Scripture as the Pope and the King.

The printing press came along in 1440 and, to the disappointment of kings and priests alike, men started reading the Bible for themselves. They discovered a marvelous truth: That the same God who gave divine power to the king also gave to each man the power to govern himself. Just as the king had unalienable rights that came from God that no mortal man could take away, each man had the SAME unalienable rights that no king or other governmental force could take away!  

By 1644, Samuel Rutherford wrote that not only do men have the same authority as kings, but the kings are under the Law, just as the common man.  His book, Lex Rex, was loved by the great-grandfathers of those who would write the founding law for our nation. They read these words:

  “I may here dispute whether the king be lord, having a masterly dominion both over men and things. But I first discuss shortly his dominion over his subjects. It is agreed on…that servitude is a penal fruit of sin, and against nature, because all men are born by nature of equal condition. The king hath no proper, masterly, or lordly dominion over his subjects; his dominion is rather fiduciary and ministerial, rather than masterly.” 

Do these ideas sound familiar? Of course they do!

They were the foundation for those truths expressed in 1776 and 1789 in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, respectively.

Here we have seen the principles

• that government is to be our servant, not our master, and
• that the role of the ruler’s power is to maintain and guard the sacred trust of the sovereigns also called We the People;
• that rights come from God,
• that they are given to each man when he is born, because men are not born collectively but individually;
• that these rights cannot be taken away because they are not given by man, but by God Himself who gives them to men made in His image;
• that these rights are given because Man is the crowning glory of God’s handiwork and has a responsibility to exercise stewardship over God’s earth;
• and that sovereign men organize in representative governments for the sole purpose of protecting those rights, the basics of which are Life, Liberty, and Ownership of Property. These were radical ideas 300 years ago, ideas for which many men thought worthy enough to give their lives.  

This, Ladies and Gentlemen, is the definition of a Republican Form of Government.

3. How does the Sustainable Places Project and CAPCOG, its source, deny this republican form of government? 

According to its Bylaws, CAPCOG was created to further REGIONAL GOVERNANCE, an idea that comes from the United Nations.
From CAPCOG's Bylaws, Article 1, Section 1.1.d~~~
(d) The Council's goal is to combine the total resources of its members for regional planning beyond the capabilities of the individual members.

Regionalism denies the right of representative government, and can be traced to 1945 and the United Nations, which was founded by Communists with money from the Rockefeller Foundation.

Regionalism requires the destruction of home-rule and self-government, and the elimination of cities, counties, and states into Regions and Metropolitan areas.  The entire nation is divided into six regions, with Texas being in Region 6. Texas is further divided into 24 regions, with CAPCOG being Region 12. As Americans, we expect to be able to attend City Council and County Commissioner meetings. Sorry, only elected office holders are welcome at regional meetings. These soviet-style councils have no right in  making rules and regulations for sovereign Americans who are guaranteed a Republican Form of Government.

Regionalism is Communism. Communism is based on true democracy, because a democracy has NO sovereign individuals. The sovereign power is in the collective, and the collective is called the State. Thus, in Regionalism, the State is sovereign. Men have no individual rights but those that the collective determines. That’s why there is no God in Communism or Regionalism.  

Regional agencies acting in governmental capacities are unlawful creations:
UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION ARTICLE IV, SECTION 3, PARAGRAPH 1:
"New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of two or more States; or parts of States without the consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as the Congress."

Neither Congress nor the State legislatures created CAPCOG.

Let us look at specific examples of how the good citizens of Lockhart have been deceived into this trap.

All the letters that were attached as Appendix D to the original Grant Application for the SPP and signed by 11 members of the community contain the following words:
“…[Sustainability] software…will allow each selected demonstration site to evaluate the consequences of various land development and infrastructure investment scenarios from environmental quality, mobility, economic development, and social justice perspectives.”

What a tragic day we live in when most of those prominent signatories are ignorant of the crime they committed.

Yes, I said crime.  

Let’s examine those terms: “environmental quality, economic development, and social justice.” You have just heard the Three E’s of Agenda 21: Environment, Economy, and Equity.

Agenda 21 and Sustainable Development are different terms for the same ideas.  

What is “Environmental quality”?
This pagan idea requires man to be equal to the animals, not above them. It humiliates Mankind into being nothing but a biological resource. Man is to abandon all the progress of modern society and leave Nature alone. The big plan is to return America to the status of a Wildlands, with man stacked and packed in high rises, living in small shoebox apartments, with little electricity and water, ostensibly so that all nations in the world can have bigger houses, and electricity and water. The single family home, with its gardens and pets and large land usage, is “not sustainable”.

Nor is the family car or pickup used to commute to work. Vehicles that use fossil fuel are to be exchanged for bicycles and sidewalks. Restricted mobility is exactly what SPP has planned for Lockhart. CAMPO’s Commute Solution Report admits that changing people’s “travel behavior” is what they have in mind.  Accomplishing political goals through psychological manipulation is the stuff of mentally deranged dictators, or Regional directors of Metropolitan Planning Organizations.  

Smart Meters have been installed against the strong outcries of those who know their dangers. The egregious imposition of Smart Meters onto the property and homes of unwilling people and the bad faith and loss of trust that is created between the people and their elected leaders should be an omen of the political hot button that even further invasion of the people's rights with an “analytical tool” will bring to Lockhart.    
The "Environmental quality" leg of Agenda 21 is based on the spurious science of Global Warming.

The fact that Global Warming has been proven a fraud and the planet does not need saving are the real inconvenient truths, because when truth is known, All Things Sustainable that have been based on lies blow away like popcorn in a dry, west Texas wind. Developers, bond brokers, attorneys, and consultants ~~ the real beneficiaries of such fraud ~~ are left jobless and powerless; elected officials are left red-faced and embarrassed at being taken for such a scam.    

Of course, the U.N.’s involvement is not disclosed to the community, because there are still too many [armed] patriots and [armed] veterans who have not been convinced that America needs to surrender her national sovereignty to an international cabal.  Therefore, we are not told that the goals of the United Nations, Agenda 21, and the federal office of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Dept of Transportation, and the Environmental Protection Agency are all working in a synchronized effort (some would call it conspiracy) to accomplish the goal of centralization of all government under the U.N. Charter.   

Environmental quality is, in actuality, regional governance by force, a denial of our rights to life, liberty, and property; a denial of the people’s right to self-government and a Republican Form of Government. CAPCOG is, therefore, in violation of Lockhart law, Texas law, and United States law.  

What is “Economic development”? 

This is not referring to the economic development of Lockhart! This term refers to the Communist plank of redistribution of the wealth through the merger of private corporations with government. The new chimera is called a Public-Private Partnership.
PPP’s bring businesses desiring the protection offered by government’s legalized force together with government agents that want the power that comes with economic control. When government and business are combined, they no longer serve to balance each other, but create tyranny. Free enterprise is lost among subsidies, incentives, tax breaks, and insider privilege. Customer satisfaction is no longer the driving force behind good business; it’s the game of landing government contracts.

Small businessmen and family-run businesses who have a dream to make a living doing what they know and love are at a disadvantage in this system and are the true victims of discrimination.  

Economic development is theft. It is theft of our tax dollars for the purpose of corporate welfare and re-distribution of the wealth. This is a crime because the people are denied a Republican Form of Government, and the right of self-rule. This is a violation of the Lockhart Charter, Texas Constitution and the United States Constitution.   

What is “Social justice”?

Social justice is also referred to as “Equity” in the Sustainable Development literature. Here is where the landowners on the Committee need to wake up and listen.

Social justice means the ABOLITION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY.

“Social justice is described as the right and opportunity of all people “to benefit equally from the resources afforded us by society and the environment.” http://americanpolicy.org/2011/03/31/agenda-21-in-one-easy-lesson/ 

The Republican Form of Government guarantees Equal Justice, but under Agenda 21 and United Nations law, there is Social Justice. Society cannot have some property owners and some non-owners. That is not just. So property must be surrendered, or held in trust for, the collective, also called the State. If you remember your high school civics class, this is called Fascism.

Think you “own” something? Think again. You do not own your homes, your gardens, your guns, your cars, even the food in your refrigerator. “Individual rights will have to take a back seat to the collective,” says one well-versed Agenda 21 clerk.

The Sustainable Places Project is a tool for bringing fascism to Lockhart. Those on the Stakeholder Committee who are property owners are implored to do due diligence. There will be no second chances.

Social justice is injustice. In essence, it is a claim, once again, that Man Is An Animal because animals cannot own property; it is calling God a liar and declaring spiritual war against Him and His people.  

As a Stakeholder Plus Committee member, I highly urge the City Council to re-think this grant and involvement with the NGO Consortium called CAPCOG, and to consider the loss of Lockhart's right to home rule that will be gone forever. The best option is to tell CAPCOG to take their Corporatism and Regionalism elsewhere. Good riddance.     

[Note: the vote last night, Aug. 16, 2012 was 3-2 in favor of advancing Communism in Lockhart.]

Real Churches Save Babies from Abhortion AND Vaccines

The story below is quite personal. I am learning that knowing the truth and sharing the truth with those you would expect to embrace the truth because they call themselves the same thing you call yourself is sometimes a shocking and traumatic experience.

We were attending Corona Evangelical Free Church in Corona, Calif. There was a notice in the bulletin for training to volunteer at the pregnancy counseling center that our church supported. It was a good time in my life, having gotten my Naturopathic Degree and feeling called to help women and children.

From the website of the center:
"...When we talk about reaching women facing unplanned pregnancies,
it’s easy to get nervous and ask, “What would I say to her? How would I connect with her?” The answer is not in what we say, but in simply being available. If we will listen, if we can empathize and share the love of Jesus Christ, the other answers fall into place. If you have a heart to “be there” for a young woman in this situation, call us. Together, we can make a difference in her life. Call the Center to begin training today..."

I signed up and took the training.

The time came for the personal interview. The lady interviewing me was a retired Navy nurse. As she looked over my application, she saw words that made her eyebrows furrow. "I see you are against vaccines."

"Yes, I am. My son just had a bone marrow transplant due to vaccines damaging his immune system."

"You cannot say anything to the ladies about vaccines. We cannot endanger our ministry to abortion."

"Oh? I thought your ministry was to BABIES. It makes no sense to me to save them from the abortionist's knife or scalding saline, just to put them back on Satan's altar once they are born."

"I think this interview is over, " and she closed my file.

"I think so, too."

Sometimes my tongue has a mind of its own. As I got up to leave, I looked at her and said the last word, "Ichabod."

I went to my car, tearful and dazed that a fellow Christian would be so clueless about the dangers of vaccines, and even go so far as to encourage the mothers to have their babies vaccinated. The center had rewards like diapers or clothes they gave out in exchange for completed vaccine records.

That next Sunday, walking the corridor to the sanctuary, the Director of the Counseling Center came out of the men's room. What were the chances? Never one to let a Divine Appointment be wasted, I proceeded to give Mr. R the balance of the words I still had left from the encounter at the Center. One thing I know for sure, that man will look twice before he walks out of a bathroom again.

Just what does it mean, "share the love of Jesus"? Doesn't it mean to do what He said to do? "Deliver them that are carried away unto death, And those that are ready to be slain see that thou hold back." Prov. 24:11 and "Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world." James 1:27.

"...to keep oneself unstained by the world." I can't think of any stain worse than an innocent child's blood, shed by the world of spurious science that slays them with vile cocktails of foreign DNA, aborted fetal lung cells (in at least three vaccines), and poisonous preservatives.

One last thing, that word Ichabod.

It's a word that means, "The glory has departed." The concept means that deception has led someone to do something that seems right, but is done out of a prideful desire for power and possession and a motive to please man instead of God. Churches today, most of them anyway, are non-profit corporations created and owned by the State. The CEO, which some erroneously call "Pastor," must, BY LAW, follow and teach the policies and statutes of the State, not the Word of the Living God. In case you aren't aware, more and more the two conflict and contradict. The true Body of Christ would never push vaccines or flu shots on anyone because it would be anathema to the Law-Word. On the other hand, the 501(c)3 Church Inc. MUST push vaccines as a matter of fealty and a fact of ownership.

It is time for the real Church to realize the ugly truth that pulpit wolves wear wool suits made from the sheep they have feasted upon. If the leadership of your church insists that vaccines are scientifically based and safe and good for you and the community, then run like Hell. For that is exactly what you are running from.

Lights Out for Smart Meters

Right now, go through your house and turn off/unplug HALF of everything electrical that you own. Take out HALF your light bulbs. Unplug your refrigerator for HALF the day. Got a freezer full of food? Let it run only HALF as much as you do now; yes, that means unplugging it for 12 hrs. Use your computer only HALF as much as you do now, including for business purposes. Run your air conditioner only HALF as often as you currently do (regardless of the weather), or if you are in winter, turn off your electrical heaters. Do only HALF as much laundry; this might mean that the baby and the dish towels are a bit more smelly, or that the crusty gym socks must be worn again tomorrow. Oh well.

Such is the future that the Energy Police have planned for all of us, worldwide, in just three years. (1)

How will this be done? With a device called a Smart Meter that will track and report your electrical usage.

The purpose of the Smart Meter is to force your behavior to comply with pre-determined global goals that have been set by corporations whose CEOs believe that 9/10 of the earth's population must be eliminated if the other 1/10 (them) is to survive.

You may see the term DEMAND RESPONSE when you read about Smart Meters. Please understand exactly what that means. We the People have a DEMAND for electricity. The utility has a RESPONSE. Their "response" is to coerce, blackmail, or otherwise humiliate and impoverish us to reduce our "demand." With a handy-dandy Smart Meter installed on your house, the Energy Police can execute a Demand Response by flipping the kill switch and / or raising the price so high that energy customers, aka we, the unwashed masses, will not be able to afford anything but candles, let alone the luxury of refrigerators and freezers and air conditioners and hot water heaters and washing machines. Pity, too, that advances in health and disease control have been historically linked to better sanitation and safer food supply, e.g., bathing and refrigeration made possible with electrical power.

THE BAD NEWS

The Energy Police know that (most) intelligent, informed people will not willingly cave in to greedy corporations' plans to send us all back into the Dark Ages, literally. So, they lobby to get the power of the sword, your local rubber-stamping, boot-licking, oh-let's-be-green-and-save-the-planet politician, to MAKE you perform.

Being wise as serpents (but not, to my knowledge, gentle as doves), they know how important it is to hide the real plan, which is to ELIMINATE USELESS EATERS, OF WHICH YOU ARE ONE, and make you think that you are getting a benefit, so they employ their neurolinguistic psycho-babble Newspeak and instead you see this:

“…it is the intent of the legislature that net metering and advanced meter information networks be deployed as rapidly as possible to allow customers to better manage energy use and control costs, and to facilitate demand response initiatives.”

Did you catch it? So that you can "better manage" your energy use. SO YOU CAN PAY THROUGH THE NOSE IF YOU DARE TRY TO LIVE A DECENT, COMFORTABLE LIFE.

Did you see that word "initiatives"? You want to know where these “initiatives” came from? Not from your elected official, who just took the cruise and the hooker and didn't write one word of the policy, and just voted how he was instructed. No, my dear unplugged stinky friend, billionaire Maurice Strong was the man behind the plan to turn your life upside down. He revealed to us in Rio de Janeiro at the Earth Summit in 1992 exactly what we could expect to be taken from our lives by Marxist-globalists preaching the (false) Gospel of Sustainability:

"...[C]urrent lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class - involving high meat consumption and large amounts of frozen and convenience foods, use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and workplace air-conditioning, and suburban housing are not sustainable. A shift is necessary which will require a vast strengthening of the multilateral system, including the United Nations."

MORE BAD NEWS

In May, Gov. Perry signed SB 1125 which became effective Sept. 1. "...utilities may adopt energy use programs with measurable and verifiable results that reduce energy consumption through behavioral changes that lead to efficient use patterns and practices.”

I don't know about you, but "behavioral changes" sends a chill up my spine.

SOME GOOD NEWS

Two things make me smile as I look into the dark side of Smart Meters.

One, there’s a line I keep bumping into as I research, “be deployed AS RAPIDLY AS POSSIBLE.” There seems to be an urgency to get a Smart Meter on your house ASAP. What’s the hurry?????

Simply put, ol’ Maurice and his gang of Eco-Rats are TERRIFIED of you learning the truth about the Smart Meter. It is an information collection device that violates your right to privacy and being secure in your home; it is dangerous to health; many decry its inaccuracy and complain of their inflated bills; and much more. They know they must hurry before the people start comparing notes and refuse to be victims of the tyranny.

Two, a petition to stop the Texas PUC from installing Smart Meters on our homes without our consent has been filed. If you live in Texas, I urge you to please consider being included in this petition. See the details at Devvy Kidd's two-part article at NewsWithViews.com The link is posted in Comments. My husband and I are happily going to financially support this endeavor and be included as Petitioners. We simply must do this. Otherwise, that familiar cry, “Remember the Alamo” will soon enough be, “Remember when we had a refrigerator?”

Cereal Killers

by Donna Voetee

copyright, August 2010

When my children were little, grocery shopping was a group effort. Jared, with his honey-brown ringlets, Jesse with his melt-your-heart smile, Todd with his munchkin red hair, and their older sister Tricia with her witty quips and giggles. Old ladies would smile and playfully threaten to take them home with them. Some days I would have consented, but for the most part, they were delightful children, well-behaved, mannerly.

Until we got to “THAT” aisle.

You moms know which one I’m talking about. The one that turns children into 8-armed octopi with lungs that can be heard from Produce to Bread, and wills strong enough to make Iron Man athletes jealous. The one that makes them think they have just miraculously stepped into the story board of their favorite morning cartoon show. The one with the “TOYS” directly on the other side.

Yep, that’s the one. The “CEREAL” aisle.

In fairness, I knew how the kids felt. After all, I myself had heard the siren call of Flakes and Puffs, Oh’s and Krispies with my old friends Tony the Tiger, Sam the Toucan, Sonny the Cuckoo Bird, Lucky the Leprechaun, the Cap’n, and those four-fingered elves who taught us that our cereal should talk to us. "Listen to the fairy song of health, the merry chorus sung by Kellogg's Rice Krispies as they merrily Snap, Crackle, and Pop in a bowl of milk. If you've never heard food talking, now is your chance."

Hear your “food talking”? Step aside, boring, silent bacon & eggs, oatmeal and grits! The Anthropomorphic Breakfast had been created. Like a government agency, there was no turning back and it just kept growing and expanding without end. Colors foreign to the rainbow and creatures whose only existence was in the minds of ad men were now exploding on the shelves for a new generation. For young Goths, there was Boo Berry, Count Chocula, FrankenBerry, Fruit Brute, Yummy Mummy, Honey Monster, and Jarvis the Cookie Crisp Wizard. The more tender-hearted animal lovers among them were wooed by newcomers BuzzBee, Loopy Bee, Chip the Wolf, Cornelius Rooster, Dig ‘Em Frog, Coco Monkey, Crunchosaurus Rex, Linus the Lionhearted, Sugar Bear, and Alphie the Wonder Dog.

Surely the strangest—to put it mildly—of all the cereal mascots was Kellogg’s chimerical Bigg Mixx, the legendary “Chicken-wolf Moose-pig of the Yakima Valley” which had the physical features of a chicken (head and lower body), wolf (face), moose (antlers), and pig (snout). The box panel explained, "He's a proud creature. A little stupid, but definitely proud." Kellogg’s is owned by Archer Daniel Midlands. ADM is owned by Prince Charles and the House of Windsor. Is it possible to extrapolate an esoteric message to “proud, stupid” American children from our cousins across the pond? Further down the rabbit hole, is it possible that Bigg Mixx was a marketing ploy to plant seeds of acceptance to the idea of genetic engineering? Or that the double ‘xx’, which some ascribe to Nimrod and the beginnings of freemasonry, is more than coincidence?

Until 1976, there were Cocoa Freakies and Fruity Freakies, starring Hamhose, Gargle, Cowmumble, Grumble, Goody-Goody, Snorkeldorf and the leader BossMoss, a big greenie ('cereal boogers'?). In 1987, aliens Hugger, Sweetie, Tooter, and Hotdog joined BossMoss and Grumble on the shelves. Yes, that was “alien” characters added to breakfast cereal!

Their job was a singular one: to sell as many balls, bears, bites, bits, blasts, blends, blossoms, bubbles, buddies, bunches, bursts, buzzers, charms, checks, clusters, cones, crispies, crisps, critters, crumbles, crunches, delights, flakes, frosties, honeys, hoots, islands, jets, kix, kritters, loops, mixx, nuggets, nuts, oh's, orange stars, pebbles, pops, puffs, shredded, shreddies, smacks, snaps, spangles, spooners, spoonfuls, squares, stars, turtles, twinkles, waffles, zingaroos, and zings as possible to as many children as possible. FYI: I did not make these names up. They are real. Just ask your kids.

What about the nutritional value of all this cacophonous assembly of heretofore never heard of food? The USDA assures us that each serving contains “x” amount of calories, protein, carbs, and fat. The cereal is “enriched” with vitamins and minerals for much the same reason women get breast implants—to make it look good for the sale. Stating the Nutrition Facts without the ‘enhancement’ would reveal a painfully embarrassing truth: that the grain had been devitalized and robbed of its original value during processing.

The humanized hues that make those pink stars, green clovers, and yellow moons so kid-captivating are government approved under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic law, “certified” to contain no more than allowable amounts of arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury, and other heavy metals. What the FDA fails to mention, just one itty bitty fact, is that those numbered colors, Yellow #5, #6, Red #40, Green #3, Blue #1 and #2, are derived from crude oil. Maybe there’s some secret research that proves a child’s body runs properly on the same products that go into a car’s engine.

Between the critters on the outside and the crap on the inside of the box, children’s minds and health were betrayed. They become overactive, frustrated, aggressive. They started wetting their beds, having hives and earaches, losing muscle control. They began to struggle to remember spelling words, pay attention, do math.

With as much heart and compassion as the fictional monsters that enticed them to their baneful bowls, Big Pharma came to the rescue of exhausted and exasperated parents: Adderall, Concerta, Methylphenidate, and Strattera. Ah! So much easier than saying, “No!” in THAT aisle or getting up early to put on the home-cooked porridge.

Besides the artificial colors, artificial flavors, sugar, high fructose corn syrup, modified corn starch, natural flavoring, refined oil, soy protein isolate, hydrogenated oil, with preservatives BHT and BHA added to both the cereal and the packaging, there is another important factor to ponder. Have you ever wondered about the process that transforms plain-grain corn, oats, wheat, rice, rye, and barley into those powerful mini-icons that children worship and are willing to sacrifice all self-respect for, to beg, plead, cry, scream, manipulate and torture their parents until the box is placed triumphantly in the shopping cart?

Extrusion. This is the technical term for “forcing a material to flow under a variety of controlled conditions along the length of a barrel and through a shaped hole or slot at a predetermined rate.” Those “controlled conditions” include high temperatures and pressure. No published studies on the effects on human health of extruded grains have been published. However, there are two unpublished works that were done on lab rats that cereal lovers should be aware of.

Paul Stitt, author of Fighting the Food Giants, described how four groups of rats were given either 1) whole wheat, water, and nutrient solution; 2) water and nutrient solution; 3) water and sugar; 4) puffed wheat, water, and nutrient solution. Whole-wheat rats lived over a year; water and vitamin rats, about two months; and the sugar rats survived one month. Listen closely: the group given all the puffed wheat, vitamins, and water to their little rat-heart’s content, died in two weeks. It was not malnutrition or starvation; something else factored in. Was it toxins that were created in the wheat by the heat at 1500 psi, turning that wheat into a poison? The cereal company who did this study did not release the results (it was found in the files by an employee), so this cannot be debated in the scientific literature.

The second study was done on corn flakes. The University of Michigan divided 18 rats into three groups: Corn flakes and water; Corn flake box and water; Rat chow and water. Rat chow rats did fine. Box rats became sick and died. Corn flake rats showed emotional stress, biting each other and throwing fits, and finally lapsing into convulsions and death—BEFORE the box rats. That’s right, the rats who ate the box lived longer than the ones who ate the corn flakes. Autopsy revealed degeneration of pancreas, liver, kidneys, and spinal nerves, all signs of insulin shock, of the corn flakes rats.

The irony of ready to eat cereal is that it all started as a food to restore the health of mental patients. Mr. Kellogg and Mr. Post would be quite shocked to see the devolution of their discoveries. Today’s selection of sugary, chemical-laden, people-kibble casts doubt on its ability to maintain life, let alone cure anyone of anything.

It’s time to literally “think outside the box.” Let’s feed our children cereal that doesn’t make them crazy. Porridges are old-fashioned cooked cereals that are nutritious and wholesome, though perhaps plain-jane compared to their boxed and beautified cousins. Moreover, there has never been a recall of porridge because the waxy liner was contaminated with the moth-ball chemical methyl naphthalene, as Kellogg had to do in June with 28 million boxes of smelly, nauseating Corn Pops, Honey Smacks, Fruit Loops and Apple Jacks that sent consumers rushing to the toilet. Surprisingly, the cereal was packaged, NOT in China, but in Nebraska.

Any grain can be made into porridge, but the most popular traditionally is oatmeal. Instant oatmeal with its pre-sweetened and flavored varieties offers little benefit over the cold, ready to eat versions. Quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats are better choices, but for best flavor, steel-cut (Irish oats) is the winner. This is also the most time-consuming to prepare, but can be simplified with a little planning. Put the desired quantity of oats and water in a pan the night before, adding in a teaspoon of lemon juice. The acidic juice neutralizes certain elements that make the grain both hard to digest and cause insulin spikes. The next morning, cook the grain slowly, allowing about an hour. If this takes too much time, put the oats in a crockpot on low overnight.

Pearled barley, wheat berries, and millet (also known as birdseed) can also be made into porridge. Quinoa, an ancient grain that is gaining popularity because it is gluten-free, cooks more quickly than other grains and has a superior nutritional profile as well. Another gluten-free option is corn meal, preferably stone ground. My children loved corn-meal mush, especially after we read Little House on the Prairie books.

Internationally speaking, children around the world begin their day with a porridge called congee, also known as jook. It is rice that is cooked with lots of water, and has additions of nuts, seeds, or fruit. On the more savory side, sometimes pieces of fish or meat are added and topped with spring onions.

Hot cereal must be topped off properly with rich cream and real butter and a little raw honey or dried cane juice. Children need the saturated fat for their growing brains. Do not ever use margarine!

For cold cereal, leftover cornbread can be cut into squares and toasted. Or make a batch of brown rice the night before and add in cinnamon, raisins, honey, and cream. In the morning, Rice Pudding is ready to go.

Here’s a recipe for Homemade Cereal Nuggets that is delicious. Children love to help make this, too. It can be made on the sweet side, or the sugar can be reduced. Other foods like nuts and seeds can be added to the batter for extra nutrition. Let your imagination and family’s preferences be your guide.

Homemade Cereal Nuggets


• 7 cups whole wheat flour
• 3 cups packed brown sugar Or Rapadura Or Sucanat
• 2-1/4 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon RealSalt sea salt
• 2-1/2 cups buttermilk (or add some lemon juice to fresh milk)
• 6 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon maple flavoring, optional --but please use this, it REALLY makes it yummy!
• Milk, preferably RealMilk http://www.realmilk.com/

Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking soda and salt. Stir in the buttermilk, butter, vanilla and maple flavoring if desired, until combined. Spread into six greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pans. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes. Remove from oven and turn out on wire racks. When cereal is cool, break into bite-size pieces. Reduce heat to 250° and return cereal to the oven to toast. Bake for 1 hour or until light brown and crisp, stirring every 15 minutes. Store in airtight containers. Serve as a cereal with (raw) milk. Yield: 5 quarts.

Mayor of Lockhart Profanes Texas Independence Day

This past Tuesday, March 2, marked 174 years since the Republic of Texas was born.
There are state-wide festivities, chili cook-offs, home tours, and celebrations going on all week. In Lockhart, where I live, Mayor James “Jimmy” Bertram gave the Key to the City and a Proclamation to a foul-mouthed, rude, crude, Stern-wannabe, Austin disc jockey "Charlie F'ing Hodge."

Unbelievable!

Before today, I had never heard of Charlie Hodge, with or without the profane middle name, so I went to KLBJ’s website and listened to some clips from Tuesday’s show. In these few minutes I heard the Lord's name taken in vain; crude laughter about losing one’s “toot tolerance” and “scooping it off the floor”; a young woman urged on to perform phone flatulence; promotional "Dragon-sackings" (adultery/fornication?) which refers to a man getting into a sleeping bag naked with a likewise naked 60-year old woman for 10 minutes; and racial mockery of Black dialect. There was more, but that’s all I could take.

“NOW THEREFORE, I, James Bertram, by the authority vested in me as the Mayor of the City of Lockhart Texas do hereby proclaim March 2, 2010 as “Charlie Hodge Day” and encourage all citizens to join in the celebration by acknowledging Charlie Hodge and listening to “The Rock n’ Roll Half-time Show” on a daily basis.”

How dare you, Mr. Bertram, tell me to be “encouraged” or to “celebrate” or to “acknowledge” or to “listen on a daily basis” to this filth!! Have you ever considered what the word acknowledge means, Mr. Bertram?

Acknowledge: “to receive with respect”

No way.

How about if we take those clips and play them this Sunday morning from the pulpits of Lockhart’s Christ-honoring churches, so that mothers and fathers and children and aged grandmothers and grampas--you know, all those “citizens” you spoke on behalf of so presumptuously, can listen to them? Would you like that?

Or how about if we share the Charlie “F-ing” Hodge show at the City of Lockhart’s website where new residents and businesses are beckoned: “We stand ready to welcome even more families and businesses looking for an escape from the hassles of big city life.” The embarrassing drivel I heard was NOT family-friendly, nor very business-like, to say the least!

Potential Black families considering relocating to Lockhart would be very entertained to listen to the repetitive clip of an injured Black man asking for an “amulance.” Do you think it is funny to mock a man because of a racial dialect? Charlie “F-ing” Dodge was laughing heartily, and you call him “an example of a model citizen” and a “great steward of the public airwaves” and say that he “makes great contributions to the society at large.”

What you did is so wrong on many levels.

First, Mr. Bertram, you used “vested authority” abusively. You were elected to manage the affairs of our City in a proper and upright manner. Your job description does not include pandering to shock jocks.

Second, you did this on Election Day. I cannot prove it, but this sure smells like a cheap publicity shot by someone desperate for votes. Prostitution can take sundry forms, and in my opinion, you have pimped the character and good name of the City of Lockhart for a few pieces of chad.

Third, you made a mockery of those who truly deserve recognition. In February of last year, Chesley B. Sullenberger III, pilot of US Airways Flight 1549, safely landed in the Hudson River after a mid-air bird collision, saving the lives of all 155 people on board. Mr. Sullenberger’s hometown of Danville, Calif, gave him a Key to the City.

In May, Captain Richard Phillips and crewman William Rios fought Somali pirates on the Maersk Alabama. The City of New York recognized their heroism with Keys to the City.

In November, the New York Yankees won the World Series. The players, coaches, and owners were given Keys to the City.

And lastly, you disgraced the remembrance of Texas Independence Day. The Republic of Texas was formed by valiant men who were willing to lay down their lives for the cause of liberty. However, both you and Charlie “F-ing” Hodge confuse Liberty with Licentiousness. The two cannot co-exist. If you choose to live unrestrained by law, propriety, or morality, you cannot be free. Such men are fools and do not deserve liberty--and definitely NOT the Key to the City.


Mr. Bertram, in the Name of decency, I demand that you immediately rescind this Proclamation and apologize to the City of Lockhart.

Blood in the Streets Event

Blood in the Streets Event
By Donna Voetee
Nov. 24, 2009

A friend was lamenting over the passive sheep and what kind of "blood in the streets event" it would take to wake us all up. Here's my response.

In my opinion, there is only one event that would cause people to take to the streets, and I will tell that after stating three observations as to why the plethora of excellent reasons to revolt (illegal foreign wars, illegal foreign aid, sham elections, raiding of national treasury, debauching of money supply, collusion between industrial-medical complex and government, betrayal of national security by failure to guard our borders, false-flag terrorist attacks on our own soil by domestic enemies, draconian tax laws, treason against the People by leaders signing unlawful treaties with foreign nations, use of DU against innocent populations, obstruction of justice by whore judges and imprisonment of innocent people, deliberate poisoning of food supply, theft of jobs, shedding of innocent blood in the name of women's rights, indoctrination of American children in the name of education, malicious manipulation of weather, spraying of chemicals in our skies, malicious forethought of depopulation agenda...ad nauseum...) has been ignored.

First came the spiritual attack. The churches took a gag order called 501(c)3 that has allowed ambitious, scheming politicians to entrench themselves in office with tacit consent from the Black Regiment (reference to pastors as they were called in 1776, not a racial remark). Then the Creator Himself was feminized into a weak, namby-pamby Love Goddess, and His command to execute justice and righteousness in the land was surgically excised by the knife of antinomianism. This paved the way for purpose-driven snakes like Rick Warren to bring in Hegelian dialectic tactics and diaprax (www.authorityresearch.com) to confuse whatever little bit of brain the sheople had left.

What? “Just say no” to the Moloch State that demands total subservience with your tax/tithe, mandatory vaccinations, selective service registration and likely future conscription, compulsory statist education, etc and see what happens. Your FEMA-trained wolf pastor will use the club of Romans 13 to keep you from thinking such blasphemous thoughts!

Second came the enticements (“means of inciting to evil”). Without a spiritual standard, i.e., absolute law, there is no moral compass, "This is right, That is wrong," and therefore no accountability. If it feels good, do it. The marxist minstrels we have listened to and the immoral movies we have watched have taught us that old-fashioned morality and self-control do not ‘take our breath away’ in quite the same way as watching Tom Cruise fornicate with Kelly McGillis on the big screen. Try to name five flicks in the last couple decades that portray sex AFTER marriage as being honorable. OK, then how about three? Two? One? About ten years ago, I tallied the birth notices in our local newspaper. Fully 75% of babies had the mother’s name only; no father listed. The rest of the nation always suspected an abundance of bastards in California, but now they know.

For those of us in the Middle Class who may have sidestepped the sex, drugs, rocknroll trapdoors into the moral abyss, the siren call of Materialism was irresistible. We got a free ticket, i.e., VISA, to buy now pay later, and cram our 30-year mortgaged houses with baubles and trinkets and big screen TV's and and and. Father hired the Day Care Center to rock Baby's cradle while Mother sought Corporate enslavement, and now 70 years after Rosie the Riveter cashed her first paycheck, the only hope for the Family Circle to be unbroken, as June and Johnny sang prophetically, is in the sweet "By and by, lord, by and by...There’s a better home a-waiting...In the sky, lord, in the sky...I went back home, my home was lonesome...Missed my mother, she was gone...All of my brothers, sisters crying...What a home so sad and lone"

And maybe you’re too poor to worship the God of Stuff, but don’t think the hounds of hedonism didn’t bite you in the butt. GoVERMINt has made stealing from your neighbor a shameless, anonymous act by calling it Welfare. Need a bigger handout? Have another bastard and by all means vote—though you have no property and nothing to lose—for the most obsequious, socialist candidates who promise the biggest handouts!

You Rich and Filthy Rich and Double-Dang Rich are probably the worst of all because you can hide behind your strawman corporations and with anonymity and impunity you can plunder and pillage our tax coffers, send our jobs to others, and buy and sell politicians like they were just so much more inventory.

What? Demand character and integrity in our leaders? Not when we don’t even know what those words mean in our own lives, and definitely not when their Constitutional trespasses are profitable to our own wallet.

Third came the physical poisons. Three extraordinary poisons have destroyed the minds and bodies of Americans, making us ripe for totalitarian pickin’s. They are found in our food and water. Some would argue that vaccines are the worst poisons. Not to minimize their effect as the filthy, debilitating, and evil they are, but they are selective choices. Granted, they are canonized as sacraments for the naïve and made to appear as mandatory for the more discerning, but they are not as restrictive as food and water, which must be consumed every day by all. Others would argue that genetically engineered food and refined oils have had a large part in our undoing; and I totally agree.

The first is fluoride.
What nation has ever had its water medicated with industrial waste—purposely—in order to create apathy and docility in the people? Our men have boobs and appear to be pregnant; compare their physique to the men of the Middle East whose water is not contaminated with fluoride and who are formidable warriors (set aside your political views and make a simple observation). Judging by the popularity of ED drug ads, most American men cannot even sustain an erection, let alone have the testosterone to wage war against the NWO. Qualified, dissenting voices have warned us of the dangers—Fluoride is a corrosive poison that will produce serious effects on a long range basis. Any attempt to use water this way is deplorable… the greatest fraud that has ever been perpetrated… extremely deleterious to the human body… protoplasmic poisons… evidence of bone fractures, arthritis, mutagenicity…more toxic than lead…unapproved drug. (www.nofluoride.com) Maybe one reason your dentist wears a mask is to hide his face in shame at his failure to disclose this to you, his trusting patient. Once I tangled horns with a chemistry professor who admitted that maybe even small amounts of Fluoride were not good in our particular area of the High Desert because people drank lots of water. I responded that once we start talking amounts of fluoride, the battle is lost. The real issue is the legality of a government medicating people via the water in the first place.

The second poison is aspartame.
Ronald Dumsfeld…er, I mean, Donald Rumsfeld is a murderer with the blood of millions on his hands because he maliciously got this neurotoxic poison approved over the objections of FDA scientists—yes, there were some good guys there who tried to do the right thing. I do not believe for one nanosecond the official party line that James Schlatter accidentally discovered it while working on a drug for ulcers. It was purposely, willfully, knowingly, created to destroy and kill. Every component of the molecule—the genetically engineered phenylalanine that lowers the seizure threshold and creates depression, the aspartic acid that makes holes in the brain, and the methanol that is thousands of times more addictive than beverage alcohol that breaks down into many toxic metabolites, including formic acid (ant sting poison) and formaldehyde—is totally destructive of human health. Found in thousands of foods, it causes hundreds of diseases in millions of victims and makes billions of dollars for its pushers. It was approved politically rather than scientifically, and its status as a food additive rather than the drug it really is, requires no safety monitoring.

The third is MSG.
Obesity is the hallmark of this ubiquitous excitotoxin. Injected into rat pups to create fat animals for drug testing, our babies are also assaulted and poisoned with it via vaccines. Are our little ones mere lab rats to be experimented upon? Look at American children and their increasing girth and rising behavioral problems and know the truth. And while thimerosal is getting the spotlight, there is 0.188 mg of MSG in the current swine flu shot that practically no one is concerned about. If you eat processed food, you are guaranteed to get some. FDA law accommodates the manufacturer and allows for measuring of glutamates in food before processing; those in the know understand that the glutamates are formed during processing. I personally know the agony of having my brain on fire from this drug and then the insult of being told to see a psychiatrist because there was “nothing wrong” with me. After my dilemma that began with a delicious Chinese dinner in 1986, I can have empathy with those infants whose “high-pitched screaming” is one of those annoying side effects doctors tell parents they may observe in their vaccinated babies. My horrifying experience was from an ingested form of MSG; I cannot fathom the pain and suffering that newborn babes, with their delicate, immature blood brain barriers, are subjected to with an injected form. You don’t even have to read John Erb’s entire 24-page report to the WHO in 2006, The Slow Poisoning of Mankind: A Report on the Toxic Effects of the Food Additive Monosodium Glutamate. Peek at the Table of Contents: MSG Used to Trigger Epileptic Seizures; MSG Used to Trigger CNS and Brain Damage; MSG Used to Damage Eye Cells in Vivo and in Vitro; MSG Triggers Diabetes in Test Subjects; MSG Crosses the Placenta Endangering the Fetus; MSG’s Ocular Toxicity; MSG Causes Genotoxicity; MSG Connected with Adult Onset Cerebellar Degeneration; MSG Connected with ALS; MSG and the Alteration of the Brain: A Model for ADHD/Autism. (Note: John Erb was Pharma-napped on Feb. 19, 2009 and has not been heard from since. Pray for him.)

What? Carry on a revolt while we are drunk from our dinner? Even though the spirit would be willing, the mind and body would not allow it.


Now, what is that “blood in the street” event that will finally wake us up to our true condition?

Hunger.

America is in slavery. It’s a fact. Slaves, by definition, are dependent on others for their food, clothing, shelter. They do not think for themselves. They do what they are told.

Do we grow our own food? No, look at the little stickers on your apples and see that they came from orchards in countries that your public-school educated children probably could not find on a map. Do we clothe ourselves? No, Chinese seamstresses cover our nakedness. Do we own our houses? No, banksters let us live in them, but they are owned by the king who will take them away if we don’t pay his property taxes. Do we think for ourselves? Look at the lines for the flu shots; look in shoppers’ grocery baskets; ask someone who supports the current regime what ‘hope and change’ really mean. Do we do what we are told? With a bow and a curtsey as fast as we can. Mas’sah must be obeyed by all the good little boys and girls, or they will find themselves on the lengthening list of those who have been fired, suicided, ripped from their cars in broad daylight or Pharma-napped and chemically lobotomized.

It takes a moral, self-sacrificing, and sober people to rise up against those who have enslaved them. And blessed be! There is a remnant who has felt the deep, gnawing pangs of cravings for truth, justice, righteousness. We’ve seen a few million of them in the streets on Sept. 12, we know their websites and read their blogs. Because they are wise, they know that offing the heads of those who admittedly deserve it will serve no long-lasting purpose. They hunger deeply, not as in the flesh, but in their spirits, for abundant life, for themselves and for their children’s children. So they plant gardens with heirloom seeds, or buy food without PLU stickers at local farmer’s markets; they deny themselves and stay out of debt; they organize covenant communities and systems of barter; they are very spiritual, but often do not go to an institutional church, and when they do, it is not to one owned by the State; they arm themselves because they understand that self-protection is the first inalienable right; they learn skills with which to support themselves and serve others; they obey the spirit, but not necessarily the letter, of the law; they do not turn over their children’s minds and hearts and bodies to a hireling to be trained into good little global citizens; most of all, they realize that they were mercifully delivered from their slave condition by grace, and they trust that He who set them free is the only One qualified as the Avenger of Blood, and that He will require that blood in His own perfect time.

Then there are the others, slaves who do not understand that Mas’sah is evil beyond comprehension, that he has no heart or soul or compassion on their misery and hunger. When he decides that the plantation is overrun or getting restless and it’s time to eliminate some ‘useless eaters,’ he will starve them as he has done many times before, and they will take to the streets in anger, fear, and yes—bloodshed. Because Mas’sah takes great pains to be ever-present but invisible, they will attack each other. Mas’sah will be delighted with this turn of events because this will herald his theophany as the Jack Boot that he really is, and he will appear before them in full swatgear regalia. Never one to be caught with his black BDU’s down without a plan for Synthesis, he will disarm them and round them up—for their own good, of course—and take them to his camps where he will execute his own will, whatever that may be.

Will some of us who have hungered for righteousness be caught in his net? Most likely. But here’s where the plot thickens. We have superior knowledge and know that a la Paul Harvey, the rest of the story is yet to be revealed by an Author who always has the perfect, holy ending.

Maybe this is not something you want to read when your plate is full of turkey and cranberries, but it should make us all the more thankful for what we have now and even more diligent to keep it that way.

A Memorial Day for Living Heroes

Memorial Day is dedicated to the heroes of the American military who gave their lives in defense of our nation. But not all heroes die in wars.

The heroes I want to tell you about are the men and women who get a simple blood test to be a bone marrow donor. In Elyria, Ohio there lives such a man who made that decision and whose name was registered with the National Marrow Donor Program. One day in the spring of 2000, he got a call. He was a perfect match for a young man—he didn’t know where or who, because of confidentiality policies—who needed a bone marrow transplant to be healed of aplastic anemia, a life-threatening blood disease. For two years, this 19-year-old had been dependent on blood and platelet transfusions several times a week, plus lots of antibiotics and even more prayers, for survival. He had endured two rounds of immunosuppressive therapy and several modalities of alternative treatment, but nothing had worked. Now a transplant was his only hope for a future.

Heaven was smiling on my son, because a 36-year-old former-Marine was not only willing to put his life on the line for our entire nation, but also ready to do what was necessary to save the life of just one person, a stranger whom he had never met. On May 31, 2000, two nurses with three big bags of creamy red marrow walked into Jared’s room at City of Hope in southern California, and my son got a reprieve from his death sentence. His body soon began producing its own blood. Five months later he was back in the saddle of his beloved Kawasaki 250 dirt bike, doing things that only those with Y chromosomes understand. Though still under a doctor’s watchful eye for another two years, Jared has his life back. He’s going to make it, thanks to our hero who is one of Ohio’s own, Doug Doss.

Heroes are often acknowledged with ribbons and medals in remembrance of their brave deeds. Where could his father and I find one big enough to say “Thank You” for the gift of life to our son? A grateful heart full of thanks is the only medal we have to offer, and not just once, but every day that we are blessed to be with him. Thanks, Doug. Love you and still thanking God for your courage and generosity.

Donna Voetee, Jared's Mom

P.S. Jared is 28 years old now [update, this is 2021 and he is 40 years old], healthy and vibrant. He only takes natural supplements, he works out regularly, and he definitely avoids vaccines, Goof-Off and other benzene products.
