Notes from the Surf XXXV

• We are in the midst of planning a vegetable garden here in Hawaii. Here’s a video of Richard Ha speaking about food security on the Big Island.

• Still quite a bit of scurfuffle about HR 875′s Food Safety Modernization Act mentioned in my last entry. To be fair, here is a debunking of the Monsanto/Big Brother fears from FactCheck.org. At Reality Sandwich’s article Organic Outlaws a commenter also attempts to allay the panic, citing a couple of interesting links to a blog about the recent Congressional hearings on topic. However, another commenter asks not to ‘sell out our children’s health’ and links to eye-opening instructions on how to register one’s farm with the FDA, and who is exempt: unless ALL your homegrown food is consumed ON PROPERTY you’re supposed to ‘register’. Huh. Does that include sharing your tomatoes with your neighbors??

• Monsanto GM-corn harvest fails massively in South Africa

• Do GM Crops Increase Yield? The Answer is No

• First GMOs, now nano-bots in our food? Standards under scrutiny as food giants explore nanotechnology

• Fascinating discovery coming to light in Turkey: Do these mysterious stones mark the site of the Garden of Eden? And here’s a great video on that…could these discoveries change what archaeologists think they know about the history of human civilization on our planet?

• Interesting ancient technology? The Wands of Horus

• All kinds of interesting stuff from Reality Sandwich:

What Now, America?

A Brief Confession

• Double hmm: UFO-alien abduction sleuth spots Christian ‘smoking gun’, and Part II

• Another intriguing chapter from Soundlessdawn over at Labyrinth of the Psychonaut, who incidentally is starting up his own podcast called Balmy Weather, perhaps a nod to recently-retired Stormy Weather: Steganography, Musical Biofeedback, and The Psychology of Occult Holophonic Cues

• Whoa! Yellowstone, the 44, the 111 & the Gen-X Vanguard
