Not to discourage you, or your efforts. And I am willing to accept that…”I am way to negative’. No problem here friend. Course, before you judge me…huh….maybe you should consider past ‘Freedom Fights’ in the Middle East, and Central America. Perhaps….just maybe…. I am ‘negative’ for a reason? Just maybe huh?

I support your positive position and thinking. (If you are not…then why work as hard as you do for Ron Paul? Or any other belief??) I say upward and onward in your fight.

If you think for a moment, I dont support, encourage you and your efforts…you must have got me wrong. And perhaps,…the problem lies at my end. But I was there as American forces ‘redeployed’ leaving two million Christian Lebanese to the mercy of Syria….(we hauled tail as a Country after 250 some Marines where blown up…course, the US Marines guarding the compound had no live rounds in thier magazines…!!!!). I also remember kinda half ass supporting the Contra’s in Nicaragua….and how after the defeat of Ortega….we failed to follow through….and some 20 odd years later…Oretaga and friends are back in power)

Can name half a dozen other places…Chad, Eitrea….where the US has left a number of ‘Freedom Fighters’ hanging in the wind….but wont go there tonight.

Stick with supporting Ron Paul. What you are now doing…is probably the most important thing, you will ever do. Call me ‘negative’ if you like. That is ok. I am also old enough….to understand, the term ‘Realistic’.

Now if you wish to push the ‘issue’….?? Let me know when you have read up on US Foreign Policy for the last 30 years. Let me know, when you have read, ‘Ropes of Sand’. Let me know,…what you have observed overseas, in countries…where “We’ were bringing ‘Freedom’.

Let me hear from you, the stories of how we have ‘Doublecrossed’ and back stabbed….our very best of ‘Allies’.

Pardon me for being blunt. But suggest, you stick to your ‘politics’. At least for now, you are on the right side. Best, Farmboy

heard at the local coffee shop today:

“the older i get, the bigger, stronger, tougher, meaner, smarter, sexier i USED to be.”

Come join us in New Hampshire:

A New Strategy for Liberty in Our Lifetime

Are you frustrated at the loss of freedom and responsibility in America, while the growth of government and taxes continues unabated? Do you want to live in strong communities where your rights are respected, and people exercise responsibility for themselves and in their dealings with each other?

If you answered “yes” to those questions, then the Free State Project has a solution for you.

What the Free State Project is… The Free State Project is an effort to recruit 20,000 liberty-loving people to move to New Hampshire. We are looking for neighborly, productive, tolerant folks from all walks of life, of all ages, creeds, and colors who agree to the political philosophy expressed in our Statement of Intent, that government exists at most to protect people’s rights, and should neither provide for people nor punish them for activities that interfere with no one else.

When you sign our Statement of Intent, you signal your commitment to move to the chosen free state, New Hampshire, within five years of obtaining 19,999 other people who commit to move. The more signatures we get, the more secure people can be in their decision to move, because they know that many other people will also be moving— enough to make a real difference! You don’t have to wait until we have 20,000 signatures to move, of course, but that option is there to let you be more secure in your decision.

Everyone I met at the GA gathering has skills and knowledge to contribute. I was impressed with every one of them. If that is a sampling of the rest who post here, we are in great shape for the future. Signing off tonight. Big day tomorow trying to finish a project by Friday. Later, brother.

was my favorite movie.  More than a movie…it was a lesson in life which has been despoiled by “progress”…aka… greed, corruption, and manipulation of those values which were the heart of that movie. 

I blame it on the Boyz…I may be wrong…but I don’t think so.  I feel the “change” was and continues to be an intentional planned attack from our greatest foe…from within…eating at the heart of America…destroying our soul and purpose in life in the pursuit of instant gratification at any “cost”…implemented by their control of the fiat printing press and all that allows them to “own”.

I understand your ‘reluctance’. So I hoped, that as I grilled you about certain places, and events, (Ok…I might have been a little harsh)…(geesh…how many Walter Mittys have you run across??). Anyway, sorry for being a little hard on you at first. I know…you know…we both know now….that only those who have been there, could KNOW, of places, dates, and other things. IN the end,….Yeah, a layer of trust, and understanding was built.

I admire you this evening, for who you are, what you have done. Even more so….I admire Dani…that is one Very Special woman to stand along side you. ‘Our Group’…often talks about those who would ‘Cover your Six’. It is plain to see,….Dani has hung in there, through thick and thin. Obvious, you have a woman who is not easily shaken. I have met, and known even, some fortuante men. And you, and I, are blessed beyond what we deserve.

While I hope to be able to spend a bit more time with you in the future, let me tell you tonight. You got my number. If there is anything, anyway, I can ever be of help,….just let me know.

There are some names,….I would like to pass along to you. Old names, old school….that we can still trust. (Problem is…the list grows shorter each year….some retired…some passed on).
Our time this past weekend….too short. I could have easily spent the whole weekend, just talking to you. But we have made an initial contact.

To those members of the Tent, let me say this tonight….should anything happen to me…for some reason I cannot be reached….Sinbad is a man, who can offer some great advice. I think, that is enough said.

Sinbad has some ‘extraordinary’ skills and knowledge to bring to this place. If things get a little ‘tough’…he is a man more than proven, tested, who you might wish to enquire of.

Hopefully, in the times to come, we all can ’stay in touch’ and bring our skills to bear.

Will Gold and Silver….and paper profits get us through? There are some other things that the wise, will take into consideration. Least, I think so, Best, Farmboy

 Unfortunately we are what we eat and drink…I’m about to go back onto this alkaline approach again….hope it helps

Farmboy: “IF people, groups, cannot ‘communicate’…it is almost impossible, to mount any meaningful source of ‘resistence’, or ‘revolution’.”New Hampshire is a tiny state, but hundreds of people particpate in this forum daily:

www.newhampshireunderground.com/forum/

RIGHT NOW there 132 people online in this forum discussing numerous plans for making New Hampshire more free. This state is also tiny geographically enabling these people to meet and work together regularly face to face. Their activity will not stop if the internet is shut down.

Also, we have over 7000 freedom loving reinforcements who will be moving to New Hampshire over the next few years. They are arriving daily. Please see:

freestateproject.org/

I guess if I lived somewhere else I would be pessimistic but every day I see the beginnings of the revolution with my own eyes.

Thank you for your lesson in panning, and metal detecting. The weather here is beginning to cool….making it possible for me to spend a few hours at my favorite river soon. Will let you know, what I find, how it turns out. If I was to find anything of meaningful measure…..your half will be forwarded. Figure you have saved me many hours of ‘learning’. Thanks for your expertise, and knowledge shared.

You take care my friend. You remain in my thoughts and prayers. Seldom, have I had the chance to meet….one such as you. Best, Farmboy.

Your words and thoughts may just prove very prophetic in the years to come. Ron Paul’s Election efforts seem to be being surpressed at every turn. Yet, there is some glimmer of hope, that a lot of folks see and understand, and believe in his message. So let us pass the ‘Good News’ on to anyone who will listen, to anyone who cares about this nation. To the ‘Real Patriots’ that remain.

I have also compteplated, the ‘what if’s’, and it would seem this Country’s final hope, may be a ‘revolution’ as you say. For sure, there will be some that refuse to ‘go quietly into that night’. I have spent some time considering such an ‘effort’. No matter how I twist and turn the sceniro, no matter how much of a struggle is put forth to regain our Freedoms. In my mind, I can see little, if any, hope for success. “They”…control the source of money…ie power…”They” control the media…”They” make, and enforce the laws. Plain speak, it dont look good. One primary ‘issue’ that I see for any type of real resistence, is the ability to communicate. And it appears, again, “They” control such channels, or at least have the abiltiy to monitor such. IF people, groups, cannot ‘communicate’…it is almost impossible, to mount any meaningful source of ‘resistence’, or ‘revolution’.

Nonetheless, I cling to a measure of hope. And at the same time, make ‘Plan B’. Still in the fight, Farmboy. Go Ron Paul. Go those Young Freedom Fighters.

IMO  the two diversified tent meetings were more of verification that the people we are talking to are in fact honest God fearing, country loving, brothers and not a bunch of teenager computer geekheads or pump-n-dump stock brokers. i for one did not walk away with stock investment advice on how to get rich quick. maybe at the colorado event some insider info was discussed… if it was , then lets share-n-share alike. what i did walk away with is new friends and 1. the world is changing fast 2. put most of your assets in precious and keep some cash in the kitty 3. take profits when you can but know that the dollar is /will be depreciating a lot more 4. in 2008 a female will exert tremendous force in political and / or freedom and /or financial realm.   5.  be y2k prepared for any eventulality.

one more thing i would like to say about tent meeting:   the women were there as observers, walked away as confident that their husbands were ok in their computer “lurking” and as new friends –knew that without them –their husbands would all be drunken slobs  on some island off the coast of mexico and very lonely. so… thankyou ladies for being there and taking just good care of us hard headed men.

now lets see—— an oil play wsce.ob ( canadian tar sands), sterling mining, norant mining, silver bullion, silver bullion, silver bullion , and some gold maples for good luck. 

A great post…with feeling…something found under the tent, but sadly missing in so many other more influential places.  It is my pleasure to absorb the goodness and sincere thoughts expressed in this humble abode.  Thanks.

Thanks to all who made the Ga Meeting. Reckon will come as no surprise to any, this ole boy was in need of a little help. Things looking a little bleak in the weeks before…of that there is no doubt.

Like I told Aquila….it was great to see him and Mrs Aquila again. He did not have to say, or do a thing…it was just good to put my arm around his neck. Sounds strange I guess…but just having him there…seeing him and others in person….yeah, it done the heart good. More than any medicine. Kinda hate to admit it…but ole Farmboy…had just about reached the end of a rope. Call me weak….but seeing the whole bunch of Gold Tenters…was something that did the spirit and heart…a whole lot of good.

Some offered a smile. Some a hug. Some, gave some good advice. Some even said a prayer or two. Some, just held my hand…and talked of things, that folks dont talk about much, especially to ’strangers’. Somehow….in ways I still am pondering….somehow…I want you all to know this evening…it has made a difference. Just wanted you all to know that. Aint afraid to admit it.

Best, Farmboy….who has recently found out, being an ‘Island’, is kinda really dumb, when there are others who are even stronger, braver, and offer a lending hand of encouragement, and direction. ( I aint as ‘tough’ as I once thought)

Been waitin for you to show up again. Said you would take a few days off. You give me too much credit. I know that I have not seen anything near the number of crazy situations you have been in or the dangers you survived. I have to tell you that I was very reluctant in a way, and very nervous, to approach and let you into my life. I have not discussed any of it with anyone other than my Dani (a little) for twenty+ years. Got to where I did not trust anyone and certainly did not want to let anyone know any of my past where I chose to work and live. But, from your posts I thought I could let you in. So I was not exactly full of information, but I hope enough to at least get a little closer and begin a level of trust between us. War stories can come later and I know there will be a later….Reading your posts from the other night has made me think about many things. I did not realize a meeting in NE Ga could be a vision quest, but it must have been for you. Maybe that warrior that Moggy said would be there had a plan for you. Who knows. I still struggle with all the spiritual stuff. You said something the other night about my going on with life. I was very bitter for a long time, but someone said to me once when I was in “exile” for nearly six years that tough times don’t last, tough people do. Made sense. So that became my mission: to survive and to make the most out of all the years I had left, not to let “them” win. The past we can’t change, how we choose to deal with it is our choice, and the future is up to us.

You have paid your dues, done your time, done what you were certain was right and noble at the time. I hope I’m not ovestepping my bounds here, because I don’t know all you struggle with. But, this time on earth is too short to not accept that which is past and move on. I wake every morning and am just happy to be alive, to have a woman that loves me for myself, and try to make the best of the day. It’s all we are guaranteed. We’ve both lost too many friends, seen too many deaths, too young, that did not have the same chance we have to make it right.

My wife was a little worried about meeting a bunch of gold nuts, too. Like Mrs. Farmboy she decided that the group are “pretty normal” and really had a great time getting to know all. She is even willing to consider Belize as a second home, an escape, if that is what I want. Permanent residence is not something she is ready for now. But, at least it’s a start!

Anyway, enough for now. Like you say,we should have these meetings more often. Tenters undertand each other.Call me if you need anything or just want to talk. Wishing you good travels on your quest (but always keep your powder dry just in case).

Glad you liked the bread.

Sinbad.

I think there will be a revolution of some sort at some point in the future because young people will simply not accept the mess that has been left to them. How it will all end is anyone’s guess but I find “The Handbook for the New Paradigm” (which has been mentioned previously on this forum) to be most encouraging.

I view the Ron Paul revolution’s purpose as giving a critical mass of people a vision of an alternative and better future than what is currently planned by the planetary controllers. Once the vision is firmly in place within a large number of people who knows what the Law of Attraction will bring.

I won’t be terribly disappointed or surprised if Ron Paul does not win the presidency. My goal is smaller and more manageable: that Ron simply wins the New Hampshire Republican primary. I am quite certain at this point that he will. That small achievement will ensure that his message is broadcast widely.
