This is an important day
to work through details.

I just renewed my
account for my main website.

It rained most of the night
and will continue to rain until tomorrow.

If I were free to write,
I would be writing about the relationship
between rhe influence of the quality of our natural interactions
and earthquakes.

I had some experiences on the frontlines of the
san Fernando Earthquake of 1971 that
marked me for life.

Earthquakes are nartural disasters that
draw are precipitated by imbalance.

Nature responds to human pleasure and pain.

Iti s not healthy for any of us when a segment
of the world population is suffering, as has
been the case in Haiti for decades.

Social chaos through, a breakdown with the
beat and heartbeat of nature is resonates with the
fiber of the earth on subtle energy levels.

We can get a lot of mileage when we
try on the perspecitve that we are one with nature.

It makes nature smile when we Keep the Beat.
Begin with learning to Keep the Beat through growing
a simple beet in a pot.

Get your beet from a local organic farmer,
the man and woman in the field getting up
each dawn to bringing therapeutic quality food to you.

Local, organic farmers are defenders of true
earth-based homeland security.

It is our responsibility to respond to their call.

It is for us to make sure they wake up each morning
and can say "Happiness is Organic!"

It hurts them when they grow and pick food,
bring it to the Farmers' Market, and go home with
a truckload of food that is unsold.

That is why the CSA model is now becoming
popular. IN this model, people like you and I
get to buy into the field, to give the farmer a bit
of security in a world where he is dependent on
the natural elements day after day.

Most of us do not have this relationship with the
beat of nature that effects their livelihood each day.

We are intended to play our individual roles.

We are intended to be intimate with the farmer growing
our food.

TO not do this is another form of natural disaster.

FROM DEMOCRACY NOW
http://www.democracynow.org/2010/1/20/journalist_kim_ives_on_how_decades


January 20, 2010


AMY GOODMAN: Let’s talk about this major catastrophe, this devastation. Now, of course, it’s a natural catastrophe, but can you talk about how this catastrophe fits into Haiti? The level of destruction we’re seeing today is not just about nature.
KIM IVES: No, not at all. In fact, this earthquake was preceded by a political and economic earthquake with an epicenter 2,000 miles north of here, in Washington, DC, over the past twenty-four years.

KIM IVES: Right. And Aristide, in both cases, was taken from Haiti, essentially by US forces, both times. The first time he ended up spending it in Washington, but now he’s presently in South Africa, where he’s been for these past six years.
But along with this political—these political earthquakes carried out by Washington were the economic earthquakes, the US policy that they wanted to see in place, because Aristide’s government had a fundamentally nationalist orientation, which was looking to build the national self-sufficiency of the country, but Washington would have none of it. They wanted the nine principal state publicly owned industries privatized, to be sold to US and foreign investors.
So, about twelve years ago under the first administration of René Préval, they privatized the Minoterie d’Haiti and Ciment d’Haiti, the flour mill, the state flour mill, and the state cement company. Now, for flour, obviously, you have a hungry, needy population. You can imagine if the state had a robust flour mill where it could distribute flour to the people so they could have bread. That was sold to a company of which Henry Kissinger was a board member. And very quickly, that flour mill was closed. Haiti now has no flour mill, not private or public.


ACTOR DANNY GLOVER
AND HIS CONCERNS ABOUT A US TAKEOVER
http://www.democracynow.org/2010/1/19/actor_and_activist_danny_glover_on


DANNY GLOVER: Well, I mean, I was on—not only did I speak in Brooklyn last night on Martin Luther King Day, but also I was on a Larry King Live fundraiser. And there was so much energy placed upon raising money, simply raising money, with not the money—the context of where the money goes and what happens to the money and the real issues that we face.
Now, we’ve just heard on this just news feed about the militarization that’s happening in Haiti. Well, there’s a legacy of that, starting from certainly the blockade against Haiti after its independence in 1804, then with the militarization and occupation of Haiti from 1914 to 1935. It’s a continuation of US interference in Haiti. Interestingly enough, there’s troops on the ground now in Haiti. At the time of the coup, just before the coup, Ron Dellums, and among others, who were trying to get US troops to interfere so that those troops wouldn’t overthrow the democratically elected government of President Aristide.
So we see troops and this—and militarization. And I think we have to be very concerned about that. On one hand, we’re given this one face, a face that we see right now, the face of generosity of the American public. And that’s all good. But also, we see the other side of this. Who gets in? Nobody talks about the Cubans, Venezuelans and the others who provided aid, who were right on the spot after the earthquake.



THE HISTORY OF HAITI
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Haiti


Look to the history of Haiti,
You will find a nation of slaves that
rose up to proclaim freedom, a people
of dignity downtrodden by other nations
who could have done better.
