BAKER CREEK: Seed Company Cancels Cliven Bundy Visit On Growing Watermelons After Threats From Twitterati


MFP Commentary:
Baker Creek seed has caved into  leftists terroristic threats,  encouraging the repeat of such criminal tactics by the mentally unstable left.   I think I am going to be buying all of my seeds from now on from Morgan County Seed.

Instead of cancelling the cowards  at Baker Creeks should have just made an announcement of their concerns and suggested that people come armed.  I would have been armed regardless….. I hope that you are one of those that is armed wherever you go. That is how the bad guys are stopped.

From the Springfield News-Leader:

“Cliven Bundy will not be appearing at our Spring Planting Festival next week,” said a statement posted to the Baker Creek Facebook page just before noon.

“After a long discussion, both Bundy and Baker Creek staff agree that his presence could cause a safety issue and other concerns for all participants.”

On a call from Emmett, Idaho, Ammon Bundy — one of Cliven Bundy’s sons — confirmed the news.

“People know that this organization basically has uninvited my father to speak because of political reasons,” he told the News-Leader. “You know, that will be known and seen. And I don’t blame them. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t blame them, and my father certainly wants to make it easy and peaceful for them to have their event and succeed in whatever it is that they want to do.”

He added, “The facts and the truth will show clearly what really happened, and that is they invited my father for his knowledge and experience in being able to grow rare seeds in a desert climate using very little water and (he) wanted to share that knowledge, and for political reasons they uninvited him.”

Kathy McFarland, media relations staffer for Baker Creek, said that the company had learned that opponents of Bundy had concrete plans to protest the Spring Planting Festival near the festival site.

“That was actually our concern, yes,” she told the News-Leader midday Monday. “At first we thought (opposition to the announced Bundy visit) was just people talking on Facebook and so forth. But when it appeared to be an organized plan and threatening our vendors, we thought we have a responsibility to our festival-goers.”…. Read More

About Missouri Firearms Coalition 

Let me play devil’s advocate, for a minute, by pointing out my concerns about  the statement:    “law abiding gun owners” made on the above “about” page:  (FWIW  every gun group , and owner, almost without exception,   accepts this  anti liberty “group-think” slogan , so I am not picking on MGC in particular.)

This is the text that I have a concern with:
1.) “While professed pro-gun legislators have a majority in both chambers, Missouri lags behind many other states in protecting the rights of law abiding gun owners.”

Why do  people that claim to be educated in the concept of liberty, assert that if someone is not “law abiding”  (such as maybe being a christian in some countries)  that somehow your right to self defense disappears?   Do any of these people think before they type?     Doesn’t this imply that law breaking  gun owners have no rights? (It’s foundational in Western law that everyone has rights, all of the time.  Even “lawbreakers”)

If these group thinkers carry their logic forward  they would also use terms like “law abiding parents”, where they believe that if a parent breaks a law, that they would forever lose their right to be a parent or to conceive children.  Aren’t they saying the exact same  nutty thing about gun owners?   I guess a law breaking food shopper would perhaps be banned by law for life from entering a grocery stores.  Think outside of your normalcy bias and group think and you will clearly see how nutty all of these assertions are to anyone that believes in inalienable rights.

groupthink
a pattern of thought characterized by self-deception, forced manufacture of consent, and conformity to group values and ethics

Let’s continue, if  a gun owner is not law abiding, to the extent that he is incarcerated, his weapons, are kept from him, by the fact that he can’t bring them into the prison.   However the day this person gets out, even if a convicted 1st degree murder, he get’s access to his guns back that very same day.   At  least  that is the way this country worked, and was supposed to work, until the US Congress, instituted the Nazi gun Control Act in the US and renamed it the “1968 Gun Control Act”.    Americans up to that point understood that the right can ever be taken away (or regulated for  that matter) as that is the very definition of a right.  Close to 100 years of government monopoly schooling has produced individuals that have no clue as to what their rights are, or the proper function of government, according to the founders and our founding documents. That is how over the top, disgusting slave-speak like:  “law abiding gun owners” get into the lexicon.  Isn’t this an oxymoron of the highest level?  What does following the law have to do with a right, since a legitimate law can not take a right away)

 

2.) “In 2015 year alone, numerous states signed Constitutional Carry into law and made progress in advancing Stand-Your-Ground law – yet both of these bills died again this year in Jefferson City.”

“Laws” do not give us our rights.   The second amendment recognizes the fact that we had and still have a pre existing right of self defense.  We need no “laws” to tell us this.  Further “Laws” can do nothing but restrict this right. People that speak and act like this,  are again very clearly illustrating that they do not even understand the basic concept of a right. This is scary, when the more educated of us, are still missing the philosophical  elephants in the room.

The solution IMHO, the only real one that will get us off of the hamster wheel of trying to enact legislation is to educate the public as to what their rights are.   Passing legislation is nothing more than licking your masters boot, for a few permissions, as government can not grant rights.

Think about it, and I welcome your comments below.

Lastly please  contact this group with your thoughts, and if their answers convince you that they are philosophically on firm ground, then buy a membership, and support them.

While I despise the machiavellian compromises, that they are making, perhaps it is necessary, but that does not mean that we should not have a less myopic, longer term goal and methodology planned out.(Like educating the public about their rights perhaps)

I plan on purchasing a membership, even if we may have a difference of opinion.  These are not the times for a house divided.  Not at all, and after all they are keeping the wolf from the door for the time being, as expedient as the method may be.

In Liberty!

BLOG: Thoughts on Essential Oil Companies and Products

MFP Commentary:

I am not a new comer to the nutrition scene, though I held off my exploration of “essential oils” for years now.   I was put off by the sleazy marketing aimed at people with disposable incomes that knew little or nothing about nutrition. Your typical American soccer mom, that demanded the AMA model of a simple solution, of a  pill (or oil)  for every ill.      I saw, and still see most of these essential oil groupies, as being very uneducated about health and nutrition.   Why else would you see people ignoring the foundations of health (nutrition/toxins, sleep, exercise, emotions) and try to build a house of health on a structure with no foundation?   It makes no sense at all to those that understand that the body needs at least 90 raw materials (essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, minerals, & vitamins) to build a healthy body.   Many of these people must believe in magic,  that somehow that these magical oils are going to provide their bodies with all of the essential 90 nutrients that the body needs.  And from looking at most of these people you can tell that they are not getting good nutrition, just from their body shapes and the condition of their skin. Watching what they eat is even more telling of their nutritional ignorance.

Now don’t get me wrong, I am not against essential oils.   I am very much in favor of, using them, when called for and appropriate.  IMHO that  is when you have built a foundation for health by addressing diet/toxins. sleep, exercise, and emotional health and you still get some ailment. Then and only then is the modality of of exploring other options advisable. Especially from a financial perspective.  The very first thing that someone considering taking an oil should consider is: Where did I screw up on the diet/toxin side of the house?  And try and address the root cause rather than using Essential oils as band aides for your negligent treatment of your body.

All of these preconceptions were  proven out, when I somehow sat through a 3 hour Young Living seminar, that  can be best described as an indoctrination fest.  Three solid hours of being in an “echo chamber” of ideas.  I don’t have the time nor inclination to go into details here, and will move on…..

After this Young Living boot camp, I decided to go to the Young Living web site and see about getting a bottle of Bergamot oil.  After all their reputation as far as I knew was stellar.   I was  immediately confused that they were saying to use this oil only externally, when one of the most potent uses of Bergamot oil is internally for inducing autophagy.

To me this is a  lie by omission.  They had to be aware, or should have been,  aware of this use for the Bergamot,  but are   are telling people that internal use is not safe!   Reading between the lines, it seems like this Christian company’s god is the USDA, as they seem to fear repercussions from them, more than they think about telling the truth, and having their customers health as their first concern, by exercising their God given right of free speech.  Sorry but Kowtowing to government agencies illegitimate powers, by curtailing your God given free speech is not something that Christians should be doing IMHO.  If the manufacturer of a product will not educate it’s customers about the uses of a health product, then who will? And who is responsible when sickness results from this omission?

Trying to order a single item as a retail customer was a nightmare.   The $28 bottle of Bergamot expanded to cost $45 if ordered as a mere mortal.   So, I reluctantly explored becoming an associate.  After an hour of going in circles,   and being treated like  mushroom (being kept in the dark and fed bull shit) I had to give up. This entire MLM (multi level marketing) scheme was purposely obfuscated, for some reason, and I was not going to be the mark, whose time was going to be wasted.

Consequently I spent a few hours doing more research.  What I discovered was that the obvious way

Hello, XXX,
Thank you for contacting the Young Living® email department in regards to  our Bergamot oil. Our scientific testing is an important part of our Seed to Seal® quality commitment. We believe that extensive testing is necessary to produce quality essential oils, and one or two tests is not sufficient. We have spent years developing some of the most sophisticated and accurate test methods in the industry. Sharing these specific methods could put us at a competitive disadvantage. Additionally, this information is complex and only an experienced scientist who is familiar with natural products will understand the reports and information.

Support the Missouri Free Press (and fight Nazi cops) with your own T-shirt!


MFP Commentary:

Is it not the ultimate hypocrisy to say that we are a free country, yet  we  accept to being lorded over by what the founders I am sure  would see as a standing occupying army in blue uniforms?   To those that know any real history, we the people, the militia. literally  guarded our own freedoms in  this country, and we should consider getting back to that sane, efficient,  just, and lawful system.

Why isn’t it the creed of ALL Americans, to dislike men in blue uniforms that are sworn to violate your rights, because they are sworn “order followers”?They swear to  follow the illegal orders of the deep state that are often referred to as “law” What a joke. Disdain for  these Satanically controlled soldiers in blue should be a most admired  American trait,  (and I am not sure that it isn’t)  and would be the sure end result of a people  knowing history and capable of logical thought and reason.

After WW2 we hung many Nazi order followers. I see no reason why these contemporary US  order followers should be given any quarter.    We do have laws that could be used against millions of these thugs, but the law never seems to apply to the powers that be. Check out the law I refer to:
Title 18, U.S.C., Section 241 – Conspiracy Against Rights

Title 18, U.S.C., Section 242 – Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law

LET’S MAKE AMERICA FREE AGAIN!

There was a time when Americans stood united in outrage.

Driven by a revolutionary spirit to overturn an oppressive and tyrannical government, our ancestors fought tooth and nail to build a nation fortified by the principles of freedom.

Sadly, in the years since, we have somehow managed to work ourselves right back under a tyrant’s thumb. Only this time, the tyrant is one of our own making: the U.S. government.

“We the people” are still being robbed blind by a government of thieves. We are still being taken advantage of by a government of scoundrels. We are still being locked up by a government of greedy jailers. We are still being spied on by a government of Peeping Toms. We are still being ravaged by a government of ruffians. And we are still being forced to surrender our freedoms—and those of our children—to a government of extortionists.

Unfortunately, the bipartisan coup that laid siege to our nation did not happen overnight. Likewise, the problems we are facing will not be fixed overnight.

That’s why The Rutherford Institute continues to sound the alarm over government misconduct, push back against the menace of the police state, and hold government officials accountable to playing by the rules of the Constitution.

Still, we couldn’t do any of this critical work without you.

Your generous support keeps The Rutherford Institute on the front lines of the ongoing fight for freedom.

Together, we can turn our outrage into a positive force for change.

For freedom,

John W. Whitehead

Mediacom Ice Park – Springfield MO

 


MFP Commentary:

I can’t believe that it took me 5 years to check out the ice skating resources in Springfield MO.   It turns out that most of my assumptions about the place were unfounded.  They have great  public skate hours.  Multiple sessions per day, 7 days a week, this time of year,  and they sell a seasons pass at a very reasonable price.   The pass is $120 a year, and $100 if you are a senior or a student.   For comparisons sake, the  Germain Ice Arena in Estero FL,  charges $400 a month for unlimited ice time, and then only for what they “free style”  skating, which is geared more towards competitive figure skaters rather than the general public.

They also have  8 week hockey and figure skating classes that are held year round if you don’t know how to skate.  This runs about $100 per 8 week  session.The rental skates look half decent also.

The proshop was closed and I could not get my skates sharpened when I was there.  You might want to call before you go, they are located at:
635 E. Trafficway St., Springfield, MO
Phone (417) 866-7444

Here are some links to get you started:
City Parks web site
City of Springfield  Page on the Ice Arena
and lastly their Face  Book Page

As you can see, I had the entire rink to myself the other day. Which is a fantastic thing if you want to do any serious skating.
My only gripe about the facility is that this is not a free market enterprise but instead consists of the socialist government of Springfield, stealing money at gun point from the citizens, to build a multi million dollar facility, that when all is said and done, is not something that the citizens of Springfield seem to want to utilize.     That being said, I had no part in the theft, and  plan on utilizing this facility over the coming years.   If I can afford it I am planning on picking up hockey equipment and getting back to playing after a 45 year hiatus.  Hope to see you there!
