Thank you to all of the newest PMA members joining this year. We appreciate the notes, cards and well wishes on our “experimental” run from the system. So far, it’s been epic! We enjoy it very much. We find ourselves becoming the man and woman we always knew we were, but an even better version of ourselves, with a compass and direction that we hope illuminates these dark skies. This month a few things to note for members: we are very much behind on new [...]

I was so tired last night, I crawled into bed with a sandwich in my hand.  Ben and I are finishing up our EPIC "paper terrorist" work. That's a joke, by the way.  We are placing a pretty heavy legal document on our sheriff. He gets served tomorrow. It's all going down in The Republic of Tennessee! Corruption is everywhere in this country, even down to the local government, who attempts to gatekeep JUSTICE. OUR COURTS ARE CLOSED.  In case, you didn't know. I read former [...]

Today marks the celebration of the abolishment of slavery; of course, this is a noble thing as slavery is one of the greatest tragedies a man can do to another man. We should celebrate no slavery. After the Civil War and slavery was ended, the blacks were given US Citizenship, a creation that manifested from an alteration to the US Constitution. This was a giant leap forward for all Americans, although this new era stretching from 1871 to 1945 had the appearance of equality and justness, [...]

Pictures are worth a thousand words. We started in 2016. We won awards. We like working. We like a good challenge. We care for our neighbors. Now we fight for our rights.  While [...]

Off grid! We've been off grid for many months now.  It's been really good, although it seems pretty daunting to think about for most. Listen up!  It's true that Ben is an actual mechanic (a diesel one and a real goldminer), and that I would have never been able to have off gird power with a big generator by myself!  Since we have machines to operate for Frau Fowler, our power need is higher than most people! But a battery system and a few windmills, [...]

Book of Five Rings The Definitive Interpretation of Miyamoto Mushashi's Classic Book of Strategy (Also a profound history lesson.) by Stephen Kaufman I'm not really into interpretations or others trying to interpret anything for me, but since I cannot read Japanese, this book was worth reading.  He is Japan's greatest warrior!  It reminds me a lot of Sun Tzu. Miyamoto says: When I came to terms with my own skills and abilities, the realities of what I had accomplished held me to a higher principle [...]

Make Mead! We all have had a time in our life, where we spent too much money on "drinks." I've been a big fermenter for a while now. Nothing is good for the gut as something "living." In Colorado Springs (with my very busy Frau Fowler life, I used to be living), I would always buy kombucha; now I make it. Ben was given a GT's a few weeks ago by my mother who went down into Chattanooga and visited Whole Foods (and brought one [...]

McDonald's being a corporation. What does it mean and how does it fit into our life and our society? Incorporation is a legal term! A corpus is a body or structure. It is a contract with the government and falls under the government in hierarchy. It can function like a person with rights to exist beyond boundaries. In commentaries of American Law, James Kent stated that in commercial law: a corporation can only have dealings with another corporation. Commercial law and contract law is a [...]

Current affairs:  I read older books (and use my own observations) to make my opinions up as I've noticed the talking heads in "alternative" media turning into just more compromised individuals (being either threatened like my friend, Dr. Mercola or incentivized, like Joe Rogan).  This week though, I noticed many people gone from the internet. Just taken out. A recent few I checked in with: a man with 100,000 hours of study in the bible (and former Christian/preacher & historian), and the other a science guy on electronic [...]
