Thus by learning and practicing permaculture today, some representatives of humanity might indeed survive our beeline trajectory toward global catastrophe. And perhaps it will be only the Amish, but I think as well the most destitute throughout the world might survive, since they are used to misery, and quite frankly have nothing to lose through global crisis. They are surviving armageddon already.

“I’m not sure that I understand why this group is attracted to Montana…”

I think the answer is fairly simple. When they first started coming to Montana and Idaho and nearby states, they were coming to very rural areas where there might be miles and miles between houses, and no worry about having to live near a “non-white”.

But also, the very rural aspect makes it easier for them to set up their indoctrination camps. What better places than heavily wooded areas often accessible by only one road (if any). While there certainly are still wooded areas in Georgia, they are often much closer to big cities.

Oh, and it’s very simple to see that Montana is in no way part of the PACIFIC Northwest. Would you call Ohio part of the Atlantic Midwest? Ohio is much closer to the Atlantic than Montana is to the Pacific.

and of course, it can be shocking when you realize how much money a group like the American Red Cross pays its leadership – and charities of all stripes have seen corrupt employees and leaders loot them.

But there is a problem with your “both sides” do it in political terms – that is that overwhelmingly the bulk of the money is on the right. You also ignore that there is no major “left wing” party in this country – the Democrats are just as corporate controlled as the Republicans and primarily cater to the rich – they at most masquerade as “liberals” – but the fact is that most of the “left wing” groups are really moderate and are just as much backing a corporate agenda – its just a different corporate agenda.

The easiest way to look at it is that Republicans are the party of Extraction, Chemicals, Transportation, Manufacturing, Healthcare, Sports, and the Media – the Democrats are the party of Wall Street, Biglaw, Computers, Technology, and Entertainment (which is not the same thing as the media).

No matter what, someone with a whole lot of money is funneling money into this racist group to further its objectives.

Is this part of the group Palin was from when she lived in Idaho?

I’ve lived in GA for 60 years and can tell you that many here sympathize with these racists.

Well let’s see what’s the average lifespan? Shouldn’t the old racists be croaking off soon?

However, they appear to really thrive in very poor neighborhoods and communities that are suffering economically for commerce and jobs.

We will always have idiots like these amongst us. I am just hoping that communities will make them feel so un-welcomed that they have a difficult time recruiting because being a bigot is not the thing to do.
