Occupying Farmland for Organic Food and Fairness Exposes University Elitism

The arena of struggle revealed by Occupy the Farm is not just organic farming, food justice, and food sovereignty–it’s also about an increasingly privatized university.

“Farmland is for farming.”

—Gopal Dayaneni

“As a mother, I was nervous about
taking my daughters into a land
occupation. But I also feel an
enormous responsibility to stand up
against a global economic system
that puts profit over people.”
—Michelle Mascarenhas-Swan

On Earth Day—April 22, 2012—about 200 people, accompanied by children in strollers, dogs, rabbits, chickens, and carrying hundreds of pounds of compost and at least 10,000 seedlings entered a 14-acre piece of land containing the last Class I agricultural soil in the East Bay. Located on the Albany-Berkeley border in the Bay Area, the plot is owned by the University of California Berkeley. By the end of the day, they had weeded, tilled, and successfully cultivated about an acre of the land. By May 14, when 100 University of California riot police surrounded the tract and began arresting the farmers, Occupy the Farm had cultivated around five acres of the plot known as the Gill Tract.

Response to a question about gold.

First of all, I need to tell you I am not a market oracle. The price of gold may recover and go higher or it may fall, I simply do not know.I know that historically gold has held its value. You needed the same amount of gold to get a tailor made outfit in ancient Rome and 19th century England as present day Toronto. However, you cannot eat gold. The most important thing is to make sure you have a roof over your head, food on the table and friends and loved ones in your life. Make that your first priority and worry about the rest of the world after that.

Freedom Project: John Ward – Euroblown : More Brass Neck From Merkel – 19 May 2012

ImageThe day after she retires from politics (next Friday would be good) Angela Merkel will be able to earn a fortune from explaining to a small niche market how to get up the nose of everyone you perceive to be in your way.

As speculation about Greece’s future in the eurozone threatened to become a self-fulfilling prophecy, the German Chancellor Angela Merkel yesterday suggested to President Karolos Papoulias that the Greeks should hold a referendum at the same time as the general election (June 17th) in order to quantify exactly how many Greeks want to remain in the single currency bloc.

Order Of Melchizedek – Sweet Influences Of The Pleiades – Part 2 – 19 May 2012

“I will open my mouth… I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.” Matthew 13:35

Today, May 17, the Pleiades are rising facing the Temple – Pyramid Teotihuacan, outside of Mexico City. Teotihuacan means, the place where men were transformed into gods. This subtle heavenly message and meaning of an ancient Temple is inviting us and even challenging us as humans, to rise to a higher level of God-consciousness. We are being challenged to be transformed by renewing our mind and realizing that, we are more than just mere helpless humans, finding our way on the planet. We are the saviors that we seek. “Saviors shall come upon Mt Zion.”

Heavenletter #4194 Call It Love, May 19, 2012 

God said: 

 

So many thoughts you have. How they race around. Come, settle down. Let your mind rest a while. Your mind does not have to be so busy, so occupied with one thought after another. Your mind can recline in a hammock, put its feet up, have a little recess from thoughts racing back and forth and up and down like a scale in music.

You have been resting your heart and speeding up your mind. This is askew. Let the mind rest and your heart surge. Your heart is ready to go.
