NEW EARTH GAZETTE : Issue 2:WHERE DOES MAIZE COME FROM L


 Across Africa especially Southern,Eastern and Central there is ONE crop that dominates. Some call it " sudza" - Zimbabwe... Some call it " pap"...it's also called " ugali" .. or nsima" in Malawi.  But across this region it grows and is harvested everywhere. But .. if you go further North to Uganda or to Nigeria it appears less and less.  But even in these countries.. maize or corn.. is everywhere. From the poorest to the richest .  In Africa.. everyone eats it. 



Second is Kassava or manioc in Sudan.. then as you go further North to Arab Africa it be ones wheat . Sorghum is also grown and used to make traditional beer. But it is maize that is the NUMBER ONE crop in Africa.  

 But ask 10 African people .. " do you know where maize comes from? - and 9.9 people will answer .. " I don't know !"

They eat it their whole life yet know nothing about what it is they eat.  Or where it is from.. or WHY ! 

Today that is going to change. 

Where does maize come from ? 



In one sentence it came first to the HOPI indian in New Mexico and Arizona many thousands of years ago. In fact they have a story about it. It has many colours.. you could say it's a " rainbow corn" . I know. Because I have visited this place and spoke with their elders about it. 

I am told it was a gift to them from another civilisation. Beyond this world. And it is very drought resistant. It doesn't require much water in fact unlike the maize we use today. In fact this highly nutritious food is half the size of present day corn. 

But that is only the beginning of the story. The conquistadors discovered another species much like what is seen in Africa today in the 16th century.. five hundred years ago. The Spanish and the Portuguese brought it back to Europe and the Portuguese introduced it to their colonies in Africa in Angola and in Mozambique.. and then of course .. the British saw how much the African man could easily rat it and grow string.. and it was regarded as the ideal food to fatten up slaves for hard labour on the plantations and in the mines. 

Digging for roots in the ground simply would not work. 

And then came the so called " green revolution " .. so when everyone starting eating this cheap food .. it became easy to control them and get them to work harder ...

So maize came from Mexico. Via the Spanish. And the Portuguese... And then the British. 

Colonialist dictators brought it here to fatten up the natives for hard labour . To build the country. In fact it was not brain food.. it was BODY food. It helped to dumb down the population which made the people easier to control. It doesn't have much vitamins. 

However, it became the staple food despite all the drawbacks in cultivation - including the soil degradation ...Nor was it drought resistant like the original maize. In fact it used a lot of water. But in Africa it thrived. 

It soon became part of the African diet. And the dumbing down of African people continued until this day. Not many people know it's low nutritional value or how it came to Africa.. or Why.  

This part of history has been wiped clean from the African mind.. 

Why ? 

Hemp seeds on the other hand have incredible nutritious value. But it's been banned by the Americans via the united nations for the last 50 years. Only 12 nations permit it with licenses to grow.


Why would they want to STILL dumb down  African people ? 

Ask yourself the simple question.. 

Why do half of Africans only earn less than two dollars a day in 2023 .  And you will have the answer. 

If food has any bearing on prosperity.  Then food freedom is part of economic freedom. 

That is why it should be feely grown alongside many other trains that can impact child health at the early stage of brain development. 

It's not just the educational system that makes people more clever.  It's WHAT they eat.. 

Do they feed non nutritious maize to Europeans as babies ? ... No. 

They get a balanced diet. 


It's time to legalize hemp. 

Remember... information is not understood unless it's read in context with history. The SLAVE trade.  The COLONIAL era.  It all depended on human beings that could work physically .. and that's where maize came in..  and this was brought here to Africa .. by the white man. By the colonislist.  Was it a good idea ? 

Perhaps. But it's stone now to grow other things that can serve the African people better.

New earth wellness gazette issue 1




The New Earth Wellness  Gazette 


May 30,2023


"Our journey like our struggle continues"πŸ™πŸ½


Issue 1 - the beginning 


Our EPIC safari across Africa from South to North to spread the word of the herb had been at times difficult . 


But in the two months I've been on the road moving every two or three days it had been very productive and instructive . 


I turn 60 in one month on the 4 th of July and my body cannot always take being cramped on a chicken bus for 36 hours. 


God has made me strong but my body is not as strong as it was only ten years ago. 


It takes time for the swelling in my feet to subside and the stiffness in my muscles to go. 


But still I use the techniques I know each morning to prepare my body, mind and soul and spirit for each days challenges. 🀞


Thank God I have given up smoking. It's given me a new lease of life and energy. I'm so glad for that blessing. Every man and every woman must motivate him or herself out of bed to do what he or she was created to do on this planet. πŸ––


For me it is to spread Gods love to the world. His good news. 


For many years I have prayed about how I can affect change in Africa .. how I can make a difference. And the good news is that I have found a way to do it both physically and practically.. and of course spiritually. 


I have seen for so long how suffering has continued as poverty in this richest of lands. 


And it all comes down to Isaiah 11.9 . 


Knowledge.


 If we are to" cover the earth with the knowledge of God.." then it must start with one small seed. To enlighten souls it must begin from a small seed down in good ground. 


And in the last two months I have managed to get pledges from nearly thirty planters to plant hemp seeds. 


We have covered pledges of over three hundred thousand hectares with one kilo of seeds. 😡‍πŸ’«


And the struggle continues . We will PLANT our way OUT of this climate crisis. And we have found the ideal plant to do it with. 


Read Genesis 1. 29 


So... I am a hemp evangelist now. 


"I am permission!"


 Like Peter Tosh once said on stage in 1984. In Swaziland. ( I was there )


I am qualified to speak on this global climate crisis .


 Both as a world Traveller and as an African. 


Half of this continent earn less than two dollars a day.


THIS is the biggest crime against humanity. Waste. Greed. Apathy. Poverty. 


It can all end if there is a global consensus and a political will. 


 This project will not be parked by the ones controlling the dictators of Africa. It will go viral.


 It will spread all across this planet by the light of our imagination of a better world to come for us.. and our children. Aho !!🫢


I can give seminars and get paid for them. I can fulfil my reason to BE by sharing this knowledge with the people I care about.😌


 The poorest of the poor. 


As a star seed or being I have come to this planet by the will of the almighty and I have accelerated my consciousness to be able to share this gift with all my fellow human beings to save this planet from Losing the Equilibrium caused from our negative cycle of exploitation and greed. 


We have the technology almost in place and the next ten years will be the most challenging and the most exciting our species has ever experienced. 


We have a chance to reverse the medicine wheel that has led is to our destructive behavior and collective depression. If there is any hope left in this world.. it is in this . 


"The NEW EARTH WELLNESS ECONOMY." πŸ˜‡


As I move north through Africa with this message of hope.. I am not just putting words into hearts but also seeds into hands. πŸ˜‡πŸ‘πŸΌ


Only time will tell if both germinate and grow into a game changer for humankind or .. we  sink back into the morass of consumerism, ignorance and the dark ages. 


I thank you.

A REAL PEACEPLAN IN UKRAINE!?

 


What would any PEACEPLAN in Ukraine look like ? And how would it both honor historical concerns and national boundaries ? 

Any PEACEPLAN in Ukraine has to involve stableminded partners who respect their own words. 

It would begin with a TOTAL ceasefire of hostilities on both sides. 



The bible says in Eccessiates that there is a TIME FOR WAR... and a TIME FOR PEACE. 

But I say there's all ways a TIME FOR LOVE !!!



If we truly believe in Love as being the highest power and the highest authority in existence... Then, it is love that we should aim for. For God is love. 

In this war I would say .. we have two brothers. They look the same. They speak the same...or near enough.. they can understand each other. They belong to a denomination of religion that is the same.... And they both share a common history. 

So why are they killing each other now if they both believe in the same God ? They same Jesus. ? The same gospel? 

The Orthodox church. 

It is a good question. 

So much suffering. So much pain. And for what ? Self determination ? Unity? Dominance. ? 


The clear answer here is to have a UN brokered referendum on the Crimea and the four provinces claimed by Russia. 

In fact have a referendum on all the issues of being Russian or Ukrainian. Being US - Uk- European ...or in a so called multi polar world envisioned by Putin and his BRICS friends. 

Some will choose to leave the Eurocentric bloc...and others to leave the Russian orbit of influence. 

But others will say....it's only WAR that can decide the outcomes. 

But is that what the people of this warzone want ? 

The answer is simple. No. 

Nobody wants war. But in truth when there are rivers of blood on the streets of Ukraine....who is in the mood for PEACE?

Is anyone ? 

But one day..  when the people of a wider Ukraine say .. enough. 

Then it will have to be decided by the ballot box.

If you keep stoking the fire with more fuel of hatred for each other.. and more buildings and people's lives are destroyed.   It's hard to walk back. 

But that is what must happen if we are to see peace in Ukraine at once. 

There must be a ceasefire...

There must be a negotiated settlement based on a nationwide referendum. 

There must be HOPE once again. 

For everyone. 

Glory to God. Glory to Ukraine -and to ALL PEACE-loving people's of the world! 

Amen.

TIA - THIS IS AFRICA


 T.I.A.


I am in your heart. You are in mine. I feel your heart. 

Can you feel mine ? 

You are living inside of me. I can't set you free.

 We are One. 

You are my home. I'm never alone. I'm in the here and the now. I am holy. 

Dry your eyes in the wind...cry your heart out in your tears...the road is your only friend ...forget the pain if it's the end..lose yourself in the horizon...switch off the recording in your head.

 There is no guilt. No fears. 

Nothing any more ...you are free. 

You are exactly in the place you are meant to be. 

The way is long ...and far...but you are. You are. πŸ––πŸΏ

This is Africa.

LOVE 22 - Anthology of Poems for Peace & Love

 


1. A DESIDERATA 

Knowing what I Know
Knowing where I should Go:
Should I produce another illusion ?
Or would it lead to more delusion ? 
With so much treasures to offer ,
Like diamonds ,
 the dreams of my coffers-
Useless it seems ,
In the windows of my dreams !
That I love what I always will love -...
The One as radiant as the golden dove,
And yet have I lived so well ,
Been to heaven , 
Been to Hell!
Where shall I go?
I said that I know !
And then -
when I learn it is the End!-
Will Destiny show me a New Direction to go?
Or will these dreams of yesteryear -
Be forever a rock of fear ?
History without an Ear...

Or shall I learn to discover ,
Without losing the miracle of life ...
And wake up content -
In the arms of my beloved wife? !...

A DESIDERATA, DESIDERATA. πŸ™πŸΌπŸ’“

2. What do I expect from a Home ? πŸ™Œ

Not a lot . You can make a home anywhere you go. Even under a bridge. Home is where your heart is. ✌️

And if your heart is WITH God you are already in home. The song Jerusalema written during covid by a south African guy says exactly that. πŸ––

This Earth this dimension is not our REAL home. It became a song that resonated with every culture on the planet. And it is because of this message. Not just the silly dance.

 It said something profound. 

But what do I expect from a place ? Here on Earth . I expect of course PEACE. 

I expect water I can drink that won't harm me and air I can breathe that won't kill me . 

And people around me that don't want to take my shoes or stab me or rape me because I'm white... I expect people who will look at me like a person.

 Not an animal or a commodity. Something to be used or abused. I expect a conscious spirit that LOVES God.

 That I can worship God in spirit and in truth without the fear that I will be arrested or thrown in prison for singing. Or praying. 

I expect to be treated equally as the next person. I need to be near good facilities like a good school.. a good library.. a good hospital..I would like to live where there are many different cultures and therefore different options to eat different foods. 

But most important I would like the vibration of where I call HOME to be one of HEAVEN on the Earth.

 I don't need to listen gunfire in the morning as I'm eating breakfast or psyche myself up to fight just to go to the shops in case someone tries to mug me. This is not home.. it's a prison camp. And neither do I need to live in a fridge. 

But a good climate that loves human beings. 

And finally... I would like to be able to build a fireπŸ”₯  sometimes to heal my soul. And to be with the one I love and paint pictures.. plant fruit and vegetables and yes to write poetry, songs and tell stories of once upon a time. πŸ™πŸ½

"Anapovamai". A place of rest for the soul. Is it possible on this Earth ? I don't know. I believe so. That's why I travel so much and for so long in search of this home. 

Now.. I have given this task to the one I love the most.🫢

 May she be successful where I was not. At least not on this planet. 

Home is where your heart is. And She is where my heart is. 

Amen.

4. "GUILTY" : A Tribute to the People's Poet 

" Realise with REAL eyes,the REAL lies !"

You are charged with the Crime of Time!-
A life time wasted - regurgitated - agitated - demonstrated...

Your honour - I'm innocent don't you see ?
It wasn't me ! It wasn't ME....

And the word reverberated across the silent court room
Sounding it's message of premeditated-
Uncompromising...demoralising...DOOM 
& GLOOM ... GLOOM & DOOM ...

The word they had all freely anticipated-
But refused to accept 
Chose to REJECT !
Wanted to FORGET !
Pushed the button to EJECT !...

The word ... "GUILTY "-
Guilty as charged , Guilty as Charged!-
And the guilty are FREE TO GO...
Free to know their shopping malls-
And BMW - Bedroomed walls-
Gilded cages & Hijacked rages...
Stuck up stucco'ed wives &
Boardroom backstabbing knives ...
Goldfish golf bowls - 
And toilet tissue flushed away lives !!
YES!
The guilty are FREE to GO - Free to go...
And the INNOCENT are free to KNOW -
FREE TO KNOW ...

GUILTY!

The TRUTH always prevails. 

" REALISE THE REAL LIES THROUGH REAL EYES ! " Lucien Zell.

5. Let it Shine 

Find a little stone that sparkles on a beach ,
Take it home , give it some love -
(and a little bleech)
Then when it looks just fine ...
Let it shine , let it shine , let it SHINE ! 

'Cause this little stone of mine -
 I'm gonna let it shine !
This little stone of mine -
 I'm gonna let it shine !
Let it shine- let it shine - let it SHINE !

-----------



6. Appreciation 

The flower is seen , 
In a moment serene -
It's beauty captured ,
The beholder enraptured!-

BUT ! - 

It is nothing unless shared ,
Lost in our painted past-
It does not last !- Alas !-
A memory to no one that cared...!

Postnote:

(Unless someone stared 
And in that split second dared 
To stop all of time -
And with appreciation drink it's wine !)

7. The Death of Sex 

( A visionary poem written in Harare in 1992)

2021 AD : VISIONS OF THE FUTURE 

" Welcome to unit 666 - 
please insert your mark!
Glad you could come -
 has it been your first ? 
Allow me to explain -
So you're not left in the dark !
Aren't we all creatures -
Of licentious thirst !?"

What'll it be What's your pleasure ?
Have you a partner in mind -
And you've both agreed ?
GOOD - or would you prefer:
Our computable mate to measure !?
No worries then - relax friend -
Were here to fulfil your every need ! 

In a few moments you'll slip into complete brain - body isolation ,
No necessity for adverse adversity - just feel free !
All thought - desires satisfied minus the inner frustration!
But that's up to your partner - you'll soon see !

How to let your imagination run completely wild -
We aim to cross every orgasmic border-
You don't require passports - you're not a child !
By the way - I'm "ROBOCOPTIC " -
of the NEW WORLD ORDER !
PLEASE - put yourselves at REST !
Carnal Cornucopia - it's for the BEST !
The technologically speaking -
The Death of Sex has passed the test -
Wake up sunshine - it's 2021 -
You can MAKE LOVE with your mind ! 
....................

1992 AD : Visions of the PRESENT 

Kobran Zankow - genius genetic engineer -
Over imbibed on Vodka- whisky and Beer ,
Was it he that unleashed the beast from Hades ?
Or was it the green monkey responsible -
For all the shades of AID- eees? 

( we shall pause for a brief interval )

Slowly he picked up the telephone ,
paranoia and perplexity were visibly plain !
And the dragons danced through his brain...
" I promise I God - I'll never do it again !
Never again ! " 

But too late it was to beg the Almighty -
For the insurance loan ...
And then he heard the news ALL ALONE!
The music over the receiver began to play -
' New York - New York '( Frank Sinatra ) 
Except the lyrics had changed ....

No - No... Not me !!! Not me....
But it was too damn late 
And DEATH SMILED !-
" Start spreading the disease !-
It's coming your way
Start spreading the news 
It's coming today...
Cause we're gonna make a brand new start of it ...

HIV...HIV...!!!

And if it can make here... 
It can make it .. ANYWHERE !
HIV - HIV ... POSITIVELY - 
its here to stay !

And the music stopped. 

...............

1983 AD : VISIONS OF THE PAST 

Not long ago came a black cloud to terrify ,
A sudden splurge ,
and out broke the dreaded lurge!
Had we but learned to heed , listen -
Or even to try... 
Would this global scourge-
 have found it's funeral dirge!

The swinging 60s - free sex - 
And psychedelic flying 
It makes me sick... 
Where's the sense in playing Russian Roulette with your dick?
Hello celibate 90s - thousands are dying -
But millions are trying!

We can build a New World-
On Light- Communication and Love !
Or we can destroy it -
by rejecting the directives from above ! 

STOP AIDS- BEFORE IT STOPS YOU !
You are the tutor of the future- 
That's who. 

DEATH TO APATHY. 
DEATH TO SEX.

In this verse I ask born of ....
Angry frustration !!

Cannot stand to be confused ...

Will it be Life Or Strife ...
End of End....- or Regeneration -
For the New Rainbow Nation !?

Time - Time - Time to Turn ,

Time - time - time to return -
So- so long have we misused ....

THE SUPPLY CHAIN ARGUMENT IN AFRICA

The Supply Chain Argument 

Slavery and the payment of reparations -for it is being put back onto the shoulders of African people using the "supply chain argument".  
And YES there is truth to this argument that the FIRST and the main offenders are the ones who supplied the African slaves in their millions to the slave traders at port- to be trafficked across the ocean to work without pay their whole lives in the cotton and sugar plantations of the caribbean and the deep South. 
Lets be clear. the industry of slavery started long before the african kings were around!... the Hebrews were slaves building the pyramids. In wars around the world the defeated were sold as slaves. 

 In africa Romans took their slaves and wild animals in the the same way north  africa that the british, portuguese, french and americans took theirs from the ports of west africa. ..YES .. it was those African kings and their lack of ethics that put their brothers in chains. for life. 

And in the endandangered animal market it is the chinese medicine  industry that is today fueling the entire poaching industry. 

Ivory also is traded and sold in Japan. Through Chinese ports like Hong Kong .So the majority of these illegal products are a sideline industry ... of the Chinese -Africa partnership. 

Just like the slaves were in the times of slavery... But what this argument FAILS  to make clear is: 

1. who created the demand ?

2. who makes the most profit?   

3. who is it really fuelling the demand? 

answers 1- 3 : china. 

in any industry without DEMAND  you have no reason to SUPPLY.  

and so the question remains.

 who is more responsible criminally ? EUROPE & AMERICA or AFRICA. ?

answer...

the ones that create such an industry , sustains it and profits from it more? NO? 

lets be clear selling these products in china like the slaves taken for nothing in africa .. like cacao and gold.  and diamonds.  are all part of this total rape of Africa over centuries. 

the ones who profit and have profited from these 90%- OR MORE  are also 90 % more responsible for reparations than the ignorant - naive and greedy suppliers who got bits of cloth... some beads and pairs of scissors for a mans lifetime servitude...IN CHAINS. 

so you be the judge.  

who should we be punishing ? 

if ALL  on the supply chain and the CONSUMER  chain then let's punish those responsible proportionately. 

Apportion blame rightfully and justly. justice is fair. you dont punish someone who steals an apple in the same way you punish someone who robs a bank. 

Africa has been devastated by exploitation, ignorance, incompetence, corruption, greed, ego, selfishness, racism AND YES  kleptocracy for too long. 

this must end now. 

BUT to lay the blame on african kings for the slave trade is like laying the blame of illegal chinese medicine trade on the poachers. yes ..  they share guilt. 

But proportionately.

 whatever the motivations and justifications  for doing these acts of self harm. we need to look at things also in its right context. 

what would you do in famine.  or civil war.. or starvation? what would you do to feed your own ? 

slave traders like chinese medicine traders make 1000 to 1 on every dollar spent. 

the african kings earned 1% of the total. 

so the supply chain argument should be re examined. stop the demand... and you will stop the trade. Stop consuming chinese medicine from rhino horn @100K and you will stop people getting paid 100 USD to shoot them in the wild in the first place. 

the supply chain argument to shift the actual blame for slavery and its profiteering is not real or true or historically correct it is a distraction. keeping and operating slaves in america is like  human trafficking cheap labour to build your country from the ground up. 

whilst what those African kings did was wrong .. like the poachers.  it still doesn't solve the problem of the effects of the industry.
