    The Benzene Tree

    So like many of you here I have a strong interest about what i actually eat. I read the packets to avoid huge chemical doses if I am buying processed food, which isn't very much, and like to keep myself in relatively good shape. To my sad dismay this isn't really protecting me from much of the junk that is floating around our environment. There is literally no way to avoid chemical poisons from massive petrochemical industry. These products and their byproducts are pervasive and omnipresent, and that's when they aren't being deliberately sprayed on our food crops. Here's an interesting article about how this all came to pass. It's very enlightening though a fairly long read (in terms of internet articles), but it's well worth it. I've heard about environmental groups who protest Monsanto for their GMO's, but this is only the tip of the iceberg. This company has been spewing long lasting toxins into our environment whilst being protected by the US government for almost 100 years. The use of Roundup (glyphosate) on food crops as a desiccant and prophylactic has been promoted and is common practice, which is just insanity. It's been linked to gluten intolerance, but who knows the true costs of releasing these sort of chemicals? How many years will it take to realise? History is repeating itself. Parts of me get all riled up about this systematic poisoning of our environment, whilst other parts of me are apathetic with the overwhelming sense that there is nothing that I can do. So I just stay up here in the bush and pretend it's not happening. Hopefully the majority of younger people can get their minds out of the money race and the war on everything for long enough to look around and see what is happening, then have the courage to rise up and do something about it. Here's to hoping that they don't feel powerless in the face of it all.

    Post a random picture thread

    That's a war anecdote. I'm sure another guy from the same region, that you may or may not have met, can tell you Americans murdered his whole family. Indeed they are fundamental Islamic, Afghanistan is almost entirely Muslim (99.7%). The reality is the Taliban formed to fight off Soviet encroachment and significantly helped restore order, reduce crime and maintain stability after the invaders were repelled. Though drought stricken was peaceful the 90's, until the Americans showed up, instilled their own defacto government and started blowing cunts up. (it's not the first time they've done that) After 20 years of being killed by US coalition forces there are more members than ever, the war has strengthened their support and position within the region. After generations of being killed if there was not significant local support they would not exist. That alone says a lot about where the people's loyalties lay. We might not get it, feed on the fear mongering lies (news), and think all is lost for them. They just want us (the US lead coalition) to fuck off.

    Taliban don't hate their own people , hash or tradition. They hate us. (the West) With very, very good reason. We went over there, ousted them from government, put our puppets in place in their governments and set the country on fire with explosives. All because they were mates with Sadddam Hussein, which we ousted another government to put in place... then he didn't turn out to be a yes man. Yet another failed bloody massacre by the US coalition. America has not "won" a war since it was part of the allies in WW2. Just destroys countries and then gives up. Afghanistan be fine, just like they were before, once they settle down. Just happy to be rid of us cunts.

    Quotes of the day.

    “Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
  7. When I'm tripping is the only time my tinnitus ever stop. Even with alkaloids that induce tinnitus like sounds on the come up it settles to silence once I'm in the swing of it. It's actually quite a relief, then a disappointment when it comes back. A few times I have thought it was cured, but no.

    Fluffy bunny rabbits

    Just wanted to revive this chestnut so the reality of what is playing out and the comparison to people's fears and projections can be looked at with hindsight. Vic is out of the critical lockdown and tracking and tracing is working very well around the country. We're actually winning the war against covid. Andrews has been vindicated on the lockdowns, there still remains questions about Vic ties with China though as a country our relationship with them is staling. In fact cracks are showing in the PRC's government in general. Power shortages, food shortages, protests (being quickly smashed down) are now becoming common for them. Yet they also manage to contain covid still. New Zealand is covid free. Go Kiwis! Now in the US covid is the #1 cause of death, outstripping cancer and heart disease, with more than 3000 deaths daily and more than 250,000 new cases every day. There are no ICU beds left in some states. This is what I was warning about 4 months ago. It's the critical turning point where shit starts getting bad. Dutton is still a piece of shit and is constantly trying to push through freedom and privacy eroding laws. He's starting to be targetted by community groups for his unethical practices. Our single entity corporate media in Australia is up for parliamentary enquiry. The stains on the sheets are starting to smell badly. People aren't happy. Interesting times indeed, but it does appear to be moving in the right direction for us.

    Quotes of the day.

    And, to be clear, I wasn't saying Zimmerman is dogshit. I was pointing out that if a particular group of people agree dogshit is art it does not make it so.... that's all.

    Quotes of the day.

    I could be a bit of a wanker or you could be reading me wrong . ¯\_(ヅ)_/¯ You seem a bit defensive/aggressive hey. The quote from Banksy was relevant to the Nobel Prize Committee for literature, is much the same as a the art scene. It's a lot about popularity and perceived value, and the reason I wouldn't take up anything with them. Zimmerman was being pretty obtuse in the quote saying "But LSD is not for groovy people; it's for mad, hateful people who want revenge. It's for people who usually have heart attacks." if that really means it can be healing. None of the LSD users I know fit that description, and if I was going to recommend a psychedelic for someone who does fit that description it certainly wouldn't be acid. Anyhow man, peace hey. I'm not trying to upset you. It's just a internet forum.

    Quotes of the day.

    @Pedro99 Just because a particular group of people agree a pile of dog shit is art, does not stop it being a pile of dog shit. “The art world is the biggest joke going. It’s a rest home for the overprivileged, the pretentious, and the weak.” ― Banksy

    I cannot tell what that means. The ol Zimmerman sounds like a raving lunatic.

    "Longifolia group" and DMT

    This thread is almost 13 years old, so the members may not be around to answer your question. From personal experience though the best time is when the plant is most stressed, this goes with all DMT containing plants. End of the hottest, driest period at the end of a hot day is prime. Daytime harvesting always yields less than early morning or late afternoon, cool and wet weather harvesting yields significantly less than hot and dry. Here in FNQ the best window is usually after the heat ramps up but before the wet actually hits. Sometime in November.

    I got one on the way from another member od101010. If it doesn't work out I'll hit you up mate. You should definitely propagate them anyway, would definitely sell on eBay even if you don't have a use for them. The more going around Aus the better.

    What TV series would you recommend as a much watch?

    Yeah it's a mad series. I fk'n despise superhero nonsense, hide outside when the fam watches the latest one, so this series rubs me the right way.

    Wanted: Passiflora Incarnata

    One hell of an overlooked plant hey. I reckon the MAOI properties are much higher in incarnata though.

    Mandatory Vacinations, no jab no play

    Easy to make any law if many people agree, much harder to enforce it if many more don't. Not having a bill or rights has meant little to us as we have a representative democracy. That means it's much harder to sell our healthcare, education, etc and that our leader doesn't have veto power to push unpopular/unethical rules to law. I was shocked when I learned that there's no Australian bill of rights and the Constitution is mostly legalese to say who gets to make the rules in Australia. After reading further into the topic though I see the unique position we're in. Even if a bill of rights was introduced it would not reflect a 400 year old US bill, it would mostly be the stuff that is already granted to us by the bill of human rights, which Australia is pretty damn good at following. There's not a huge incentive, except for the proliferation of lawyers, if you research it and think about it. It's only USification that makes it mean anything. Media frenzied patriotic hogwash.
