Our President is a Pet Goat

Ronald Reagan did a much better job of deception, because he was in fact an actor.  “W” should have taken some lessons.  When the so-called unforeseen terrorist attacks occurred that fateful morning of Sep. 11, we all ran to the TV or radio to learn more.

Our president, however, sauntered into his pre-arranged photo opp with a group of 2nd graders all ready aware of the first plane strike.  Even after being informed of the second plane crash and that the US was “officially” under attack, he still sat there perusing a book called “My Pet Goat” for another 7 minutes.

In addition, Bush later lies about seeing the first plane crash footage before entering the class room from a TV that “was obviously on”, when in fact this footage wasn't broadcasted till the next day.

“Operation Northwoods” was a submitted plan by the US Dept. of Defense in 1962 to fake Cuban attacks on innocent Americans to create a seemingly legitimate excuse for invasion.  Gratefully, this declassified operation was never executed.  The Bush/Cheney/Bin Laden collaboration, however, ran with this horrific “idea” and turned into a sloppily choreographed “reality.”

“Guilty Demeanor” is a legal term used when one's actions clearly reveal an attempt to hide the truth.  While the entire world reacted in horror and shock, Cheney's personal pet, pretended to be calmly reading.  Bush's silk tie is really his leash.

Somehow, the slumber continues.  When will the American people realize they are being herded like frightened sheep?  It's time to courageously unzip our souls and shed our voluntary domestication.  We must remember that we are in fact a nation of heroic wolves that can no longer tolerate these sinister and insane atrocities any longer.

Super Tornado Tuesday

Last “Super Tuesday”, while several states voted on their prospective candidates, Mother Nature made her own political statement in 5 “Red” states.  An unusually ferocious winter tornado system ripped across Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky and Tennessee soon after poling booths closed.

The Republican party, which is merely a corporate controlled front for the oil industry, continues to bury their head in the sand when it comes to the realities of global warming.  Will the savage sucking power of  deadly tornadoes finally yank them out of their delusion?  Their own voting populations are suffering, even dying, as a result of their ongoing ignorance.  Karma can be a real bitch.

You don't need to be a scientist to grasp that increasing C02 emissions can throw our climate out of balance leading to harsher storm systems.  Much like a pot of water that begins to feverishly boil as the temperature rises.

Actual scientists, however, from 113 countries have recently unanimously concluded that the threat of global warming is real.  This is the same message that Native people have been warning for generations, that careless human impact on earth will lead to our demise.  One can only hope that the advice of the     Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will finally get their attention.  The technology exists to co-create a sustainable future, but these developments are being suppressed from the greed induced blindness of our current feudalistic administration.

We can steer this nation to safer shores, but not with another Republican in the White House.  “Conservative” values are clearly crazy.  Please use common sense in the upcoming elections and vote for a Democrat.  Our collective future depends on it.

The Jesus-Speak Propaganda Project

Recently, I received a belated X-mas card forwarded
from my former Jackson P.O. box. It began with a
quote from Woodrow Wilson, 1911. “America was born a
Christian nation” is how it starts. This is a
delusional statement for history reveals the opposite.

Would Jesus have supported the decimation of the
Native Americans, the enslavement of Africans, or the
political oppression of women? How about clear
cutting the old growth forests of the entire east
coast or the annihilation of 40 million buffalo which
could have fed this entire continent if not the world?

I don't think so.

These, however, are the conditions under which our
nation was actually “born”. Great progress has been
made, but there is clearly room for massive amounts of
improvement. I suspect that the 44 million suffering
and medically uninsured Americans, myself included,
are still waiting for this “birth” that would actually
meet Christian criteria.

It is thereby so incredibly ironic that President
Wilson, just 5 years later stated in regards to his
signing of the Federal Reserve Act: "I am a most
unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. We
have come to be one of the worst ruled, most
completely controlled and dominated governments in the
civilized world. No longer a government by free
opinion, and the vote of the majority, but a
government by the opinion and duress of a small group
of dominant men."

Foster Friess didn't send me a bulk printed card
celebrating Christ's birthday, but classic Republican
“Jesus-speak” propaganda. Republicans relentlessly
“talk” about how Christian they are, but they never
seem to truthfully engage in the “walk”. Gratefully,
we are finally catching on to their crap. It has
piled up so high over the decades that it is really
starting to stink, BAD.

"When you travel you learn answers to questions you didn't know you needed to ask."  - Rick Ridgeway

Unforeseen realizations always seem to emerge when the mind drifts while cruising across this continent, alone with your thoughts behind the wheel of your ride.  What dawned on me on my last blast back east was that my life has turned into a massive research project into the human experience.  I have become a cultural test pilot of sorts, or perhaps more like a Mork from NY.

My subjects of study, for decades, has been my biological family.

I feel that the malfunctions occurring in my family are very common and reflect mainstream America.  The source, I believe of all our cultural, political and environmental problems lies in an increasingly obvious disorder that has reached epidemic proportions.

This infection occurs in the mind and manifests itself as a lack of self-love.  There is no pill that can be taken to cure this disease although millions are prescribed each year.

The struggles we face as a nation will not be solved by politicians, but by individuals who are awakening to the madness that has been programmed into their minds by a neo-fascist machine, often shielded by organized religion. 

“Love your neighbor as you love yourself” is a reoccurring theme.  The problem that I see, particularly with my parents, is that they do not love themselves, so how is it possible that they can truly love others? 

It is as if the baby boomers are going bust.  Their is such fear in their eyes when discussing “rocking the boat”, to address the truths of 9/11, our lack of health care, an educational system based on “dumbing down” the youth, a polluted and paved over environment, etc. etc., but they fail to realize that their ship is sinking.

What we collectively need to start asking, is not who we will vote for in this upcoming election, but when will we leap overboard and swim to shore to begin a new political system based on love.

 "White House is Death Star"     

In my efforts to liberate the minds of fellow friends and family to the overwhelming atrocities behind 9/11 I am met with a consistent reaction. “I refuse to believe that our own government would lie and assassinate it’s own people” is a reoccurring theme.

These ignorant responses obviously come from people who haven’t done their homework. We now know that the “gulf of tonkin” incident which led to the Vietnam War was a lie. It’s also been documented that the attack on Pearl Harbor was encouraged and allowed to unfold. The Lusitania set sail pre-packed with explosives so that when it was inevitably hit by german torpedoes it quickly sank and off to WW 1 we went. The Republican war drums now bang for Iran and it’s confirmed that we’ve all ready been lied to about their “nucular” programs. They hunger for WW 4.

I’ve always been a fan of Star Wars, but how did George Lucas know that his futuristic tale would become such a perfect metaphor for our current political crisis? The Death Star is our White House and even Cheney agrees when he joked he was all ready wearing his Darth Vader costume last Halloween.

We are now collectively engaged in own own global mythology, classic “Good vs. Evil”. Who wins remains to be seen, but will decide all of our fates. This so called “war on terror” is a choreographed deception just like the false pretenses for WW 1, 2, Vietnam and likely soon Iran.

We all have minds, but they are worthless if you allow your TV to do your thinking for you. Please turn it off and do your homework before its to late. The truth is out there. It’s waiting for you online.

I am perhaps more obsessed then addicted to pushing my new bamboo housing project forward, aka "The Chi'bagoda Project". Being ahead of your time is frustrating, but the delays have allowed me to dream the future and connect with many interesting and enthusiastic folks here on Zaadz!

Local Inventor bends bamboo for Revolution

November 30, 2005 | Planet Jackson Hole Weekly

By Lauren Whaley  [please visit her site: http://thesnaz.com/ ]

Joshua Doolittle, artist-cum-inventor, can barely

speak fast enough to spit out his bazillion ideas. His

sage-colored eyes brighten as he spins them off -

green building design, climbing areas, emergency

shelters, technical clothes, and his newest idea:

"Chi'Bagoda" bamboo architecture.

Combining technical training with a strong environmental

ethic, the Rhode Island School of Design

alumnus and Colorado native says bamboo presents

a viable solution to preserving natural resources. He

calls bamboo the "ultimate renaissance material"

that can save the environment and help the needy,

promoting cheap, sustainable living. Doolittle's plan

involves creating structures that "salvage our global

environment," he said.

Bamboo tends to crack when harvested, which is

actually a good thing. Breaking the bamboo poles

down into strips creates a stable structural element.

Doolittle says these strips can then be banded or laminated

to create the structural elements of whatever

you are wishing to build: a five-story urban building

in Sao Paulo, Brazil, or a 100-foot diameter, solar powered

greenhouse dome to provide a consistent climate

for drought-stricken Africans.

The circular "Chi'Bagoda" domes at the center of

his plan begin with composite bamboo ribs attached

to a central hub. The mushroom form is constructed

of composite bamboo strip bundles and structural

supports. The frame is then sheathed with a layer of

woven bamboo mats, followed by a concrete or adobe

stucco skin. Passive solar systems can then supplement

standard plumbing and electrical systems.

Although he dreams of spreading the idea worldwide,

Doolittle first hopes to build a prototype

through Bamboo Technologies' facility in Vietnam.

The bamboo shoot

According to http://www.bamboocentral.net/ , bamboo is the

fastest growing plant on Earth. It produces greater

biomass and 30 percent more oxygen than a hardwood

forest on the same area, while improving

watersheds, preventing erosion, restoring soil, providing

sweet edible shoots and removing toxins

from contaminated soil.

Bamboo timber can be harvested every

year after seven years, compared to 30 to

50 years for trees. It can also be selectively

harvested annually and regenerates without

replanting.

With a tensile strength comparable to

steel and a weight-to-strength ratio surpassing

that of graphite, bamboo is the

strongest woody plant on Earth. Its 1,500

species thrive in diverse terrain from sea

level to 12,000 feet on every continent but

the poles.

"The bamboo grove is a giant rebar factory,"

Doolittle said, explaining how

durable yet cheap the natural material is.

Doolittle said Vietnam has about

200,000 square miles of bamboo forests.

Bamboo feeds people, houses them, and

provides raw materials for utensils,

weapons, baskets, ropes, hats and many

other practical and spiritual uses.

"It's clear that this idea has been successfully

implemented in various forms,"

he said. "The Mesopotamians built

Quonset huts like tea houses, using a

banded swamp reed technique to form

giant structural hoops. Many Iraqi buildings [like

this] have been standing for 3,000 to 5,000 years.
The South Iraqis of today still build using this
system."

The bamboo frame system remains pervasive

throughout Asia and Polynesia. Despite how widespread

they are, however, bamboo dwellings are

looked down upon in many societies.

"The trend with bamboo homeowners throughout

the world is to rebuild with lumber or cinder

blocks once they can afford to do so," Doolittle

explained. "They do this, because ... they want to

rise above the negative stigma of living in an abode

built with the ‘poor man's building material."

This western trend, Doolittle said, is non-sustainable

and will ultimately lead to further destruction.

With his Chi'Bagoda project, then, Doolittle is

doing more than simply building. He's proposing a

paradigm shift into what he calls "future primitive,"

a movement that allows modern people to simplify

their lives and reconnect to their landscape.

Start of a dream

As a teenager, Doolittle worked on construction

crews in Colorado with climbers who waxed eloquent

on environmental decimation. While in

Colorado, he dreamed Eldorado Canyon was inhabited

by a colony of circular dome huts. Chi'Bagoda is

a manifestation of that dream.

I am also into Buddhism, Taoism and Eastern

philosophy," Doolittle said. "The pagoda is a

Buddhist temple that generally has a stacked arch."

In addition, Doolittle has been studying a 3,000-

year-old form of Tai Chi for the past eight years.

"So ‘Chi'Bagoda' is a fusion of ‘Chi' and ‘pagoda,'

but Chi'Bagoda has a better ring to it than

Chi'Pagoda."

Bamboo itself represents

the dichotomy of

wealth and nothingness.

It is also quick growing,

high, straight and very

strong, qualities that

present not only a high quality

building material,

but also something spiritual

in traditional Chinese

culture, something that

symbolizes positive

human qualities.

Seeking advice, ideas

and funding, Doolittle

has tapped resources in

Burlington, Vt., Boulder,

Colo., Ventura, Calif., Portland, Ore.,

Maui, Hawaii, Providence, R.I., and

now Vietnam and Saigon.

With the help of many people -

his primary teammates are Zak

Rosser, whom he met at the Brew

Pub one night, and Mike Gestwick,

whom he met during an "afternoon

art adventure" around Moran, but

aid has come from RISD professors,

Vietnamese bamboo farmers, his Tai

Chi instructor Greg Brazelton, and

Teresa Griswold and Steve Crafts

who did some graphic design work

for the project - Doolittle has created

a "patentable building material

that is an organic, sustainable

expression of steel rebar, but much

easier and lighter to work with since

you can use standard carpentry tools

and fasteners," he said.

The Chi'Bagoda design recently

won an honorable mention in the sustainable

development Pangaea

Institute Design Competition and was

included in "Emergent: New Directions

in Sustainable Art and Design," hosted

by Doolittle's alma mater.

"The competitions are really getting

this project moving," Doolittle said.

Gimme shelter

In addition to building homes and

offices, Doolittle hopes the Chi'Bagoda

design can be used for emergency shelters.

These lighter, fabric-skinned

domes could be mass produced.

They could be shipped to disaster

areas to be used as temporary but

long-term emergency housing, storage,

clinics, meal areas, etc.," he said.

"The bamboo Chi'Bagoda

would not only provide a

more affordable, sustainable

and culturally appropriate

response to the

housing crisis, but also a

structural system that

has proven to be highly

earthquake resistant."

He claims that bamboo

structures in

Columbia and Costa Rica

have survived 7.2 and

7.5 magnitude earthquakes

while surrounding

cinderblock dwellings

collapsed.

"The bottom line is

that with some tinkering,

we should be able to

build just about anything,

but the one optimal theme is to incorporate

arcs to gain the added structural

integrity that occurs when material

is put in tension," he said. "This is the

same premise behind dome tents."

Inventing a future

After researching, drawing and

talking to as many people as possible

for about eight months, Doolittle estimates

his full-scale prototype will cost

$8,000.

"We're pretty confident this is

going to work," he said. "This could

turn into developments all over the

world, for the Indonesian fisherman

to upscale Jacksonites and everything

in between."

Eventually, after building his prototype

in Asia, Doolittle hopes to gain

access to Vietnamese and Venezuelan

bamboo groves and turn Chi'Bagoda

into a business.

"The Chi'Bagoda vision is to also

operate a nonprofit division that

would be busy promoting and teaching

this idea in the economically

emerging nations of the world, many

of which already have abundant bamboo

sources," he said. "This is

extremely crucial if our planet is going

to survive, and us with it."

Moving a mile a minute, designing

and pontificating, telling anyone who

will listen, this local inventor continues

to spin. If you see someone scribbling

furiously in Pearl Street Bagels or

the library, it is likely Josh Doolittle

planning his next project or scheming

ways to come up with the money to

see his dreams turn into reality.

[Corrections:  Not a native of Colorado, was

born in Rochester, NY 6/8/72 and there's

never been a conversation on a construction

 site that I can recall ever qualifying as

"waxed eloquent".  I did, however, work

for an extremely kind, wise and generous

stone mason for a few weeks in Boulder, CO,

Fall '01, that involved interesting

conversations about past lives.]

THE PROBLEM:

"The problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them."   -Albert Einstein

The human race continues to expand exponentially, particularly in the economically emerging nations of our world.  It has been estimated that there will be 12 billion residents living on this small, beautiful planet by 2050.  Housing this many people is a formidable challenge that will require a globally choreographed movement. 

Current architectural methods are producing 50% of the global green house gas emissions while depleting limited natural resources.  As populations grow and demand increases for habitat construction, global warming inducing emissions will also swell.  Collectively, as concerned citizens, it is clear that our cultural trajectory is engaged in a lemming-like death march towards oblivion.

These are critical times.

A new, sustainable construction system is desperately needed if life is to continue on this planet.  The evidence continues to mount that our climate is spiraling out of control with deadly impacts for all life forms. 

Natural disasters like wildfires, tsunamis, earth quakes and hurricanes are also relentlessly ravaging settlements requiring an efficient, affordable and ecologically responsible rebuilding strategy.  As global warming increases so will the severity of architecturally damaging storms and tornadoes as well. 

Political and environmental turmoil is creating massive populations of refugees who are in need of an affordable, sustainable and efficient emergency shelter system. 

Modern man needs to sustainably redesign its architectural methods to compensate for an increasingly savage and overcrowded world.

THE SOLUTION:

"We must learn to think not only logically, but bio-logically." 

-Edward Abbey

The Chi'bagoda bamboo architectural system is the sustainable solution to our global housing needs, across the socio-economic spectrum.  It exploits an underappreciated, often scorned, monstrous grass that grows on all continents except Antarctica, for now.  What is often considered an invasive pest will soon be revered as our environmental salvation.

This new construction method is based on working with bamboo's natural tendency of cracking longitudinally upon harvesting and its voracious growing habits.  We are exploring a multitude of ways to break the bamboo pole into long, flexible strips and then recombine them into "organic steel" beams.   Our research will encompass the globe, integrating ancient and modern strapping and fastening methods, from indigenous to industrial.

Our new bamboo architectural methods are a complete departure from traditional solid pole techniques.  We are eliminating the timely and tedious delays associated with the hollow cavity.  Bamboo groves that currently are viewed as not being structurally sound due to their crack prone wall thickness will suddenly be transformed into organic, strong and lightweight building materials.

Our methods will also combat global warming by sequestering 30% more CO2 than trees, while eventually phasing out the enormous carbon emissions induced by current building methods all together. 

This information will become available as internet based instructional guides and a documentary film.  Anyone in the world with web and bamboo access will be empowered to build their own eco-dwelling.  We will spread a deceptively simple  and thereby contagious "idea" to all citizens of Earth.

Our "Perma Yurt" design is merely an efficient and effective starting point.  It is a function driven form that will give birth to an entirely new species of sustainable architecture.  This humble dwelling will soon be manufactured robotically in factories all over the world.  They will sprout like mushrooms in waves to house exponentially expanding populations.  Grey water systems can then be incorporated to grow enclosed bamboo groves.  Chi'bagoda communities will blossom with each 3-5 year cyclical harvest.

COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL:

"Everyone must be clear that business as usual is not an option.  Most of us live in buildings erected long before we were born and our successors will have to live with the environmental consequences of the buildings we construct today.  It is vital that we minimize harmful impacts for those who come after us."

-Margarett Beckett, Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, 2003

"Every economic threat also represents an inspiring challenge to those who are bold and creative.  Investment in the technologies that will shape the low carbon future offers a huge opportunity to business large and small around the world." 

-Nancy Skinner, The Climate Group

"Good environmentalism is good economics" 

-Barbara Conable, former president of the World Bank

The creation of an affordable, sustainable and seismically resistant alternative to contemporary wood, steel and concrete building methods will be an extremely profitable venture.  Chi'bagoda Industries will pioneer the future in green, prefab, design/build architectural methods.

The profits generated through our "conscious capitalist", efforts will then fuel a Non Profit wing focused on educational outreach efforts around this lovely orbiting sphere we all call "Home."  These clinics will promote regional sustainable development utilizing locally accessible bamboo sources.  They will also provide us essential engineering research to then be integrated back into our For Profit ventures.

Over time, jobs in these emerging communities will be created to pre-fabricate the structural elements of our design/build bamboo housing requests.  Only the parts will be crafted, packed in a shipping container, and sent to its destination for final assembly on a prepared foundation.

The "Perma Yurt" design, being the most simplistic, will allow the homeowner to also be the architect.  Dimensional  inputs and insulation strategy, along with latitude coordinate, can create their future abode virtually on our website.  It will then emerge on their site a few months later, specifically tuned to its location to provide passive-solar benefits.

Once our progressive business gears gain momentum, we will systematically be able to address global housing needs, combat global warming, and transform the global economy, while manifesting a profitable enterprise that will be poised to solve other challenges that need to be addressed.  These primarily include sustainable energy, transportation, food and clothing production.  Bamboo will play a role in all of these efforts.  These designs are all ready simmering in the back burners of my mind.

CONCLUSION:

The pieces of this puzzle are all in place, except for the most important.  I have woven a web of potential For Profit pre-fab centers and Non Profit outreach educational centers that span the globe.  The support from the BFI Challenge Grant would lead to full scale prototypes being created at facilities in Vietnam, Mexico and China that will support our online instructional guides.

Remaining funds will be used for initial educational efforts with various schools, NGOs and Non Profits in Laos, Indonesia, Central America, Brazil, S. Africa, Uganda, France and the SE USA. 

The creation of a tangible prototypes will also allow us to integrate with existing housing efforts like Habitat for Humanity, Builders without Borders, Architecture for Humanity, Rural Studio, etc. etc..

Hawaii and Alaska are primary targets for our For Profit design/build efforts, which will slowly grow to encompass the world.  We will become a self sustaining, internally funded, architectural engine that will empower the people of Earth to co-create a sustainable future.

Innovative designs will inspire a cooperative symphony of progressive change.

Achieving ecological balance will unfold like a graceful, artistic performance.

Please support our mission, so that we can engage in this wondrous, collaborative, world saving dance.

Hijacked Jesus

I have been relentlessly haunted recently by a memory from a presidential debate several years ago.   John Kerry and George W. were facing off, trying to out-John Wayne each other, when this question was asked.  "What person has influenced you the most?"

Bush's answer was "Jesus" and then added that "Jesus changed my heart" with a smug smile as he was so proud to remember the prompt from his script writers.

W's dodging of military service is well documented.  It is obvious, however, that he also skipped out on Sunday School. 

Jesus, after all, promoted loving and feeding your enemy, not bombing them into submission for the corporate control of the 2nd largest oil reserve on this fragile and overheating planet. 

What also ever happened to the sixth commandment, "though shalt not kill"?

It appears that Bush has hijacked Christianity all together through words pre-crafted by his faithful brainwashing team.  How some one can be so blatantly hypocritical and continue to get away with his "evildoing" is baffling to me and millions of others concerned global citizens who actually grasp Christ's simplistic and respectful teachings promoting peace on Earth.

It is as if the conservative and evangelical Christians who support our president have all shared communion from some soul numbing Kool-Aid concocted by the Bush/Bin Laden global domination project.

"In God We Trust" it says on our cold hard cash that continues to feed in billion dollar chunks W's Holy War monster.  Only when the bank account of the US Government is finally bled dry is when Bush, Cheney and Chumpsfield will stop the daily filing down of their devil horns.  I pray to Jesus everyday that he some how saves us from these marauding "Christians".  I hope you will do the same.
