The 30 Shamanic Questions ~ Spring Cleaning for the Soul

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

We spring clean our homes, but how about a spring clean for the soul?

Starting April 15th, I’ll be offering another deep dive journey of self-inquiry. The 30 Shamanic Questions are a powerful and deeply engaging series of questions to help us uncover, recover and discover who we truly are.

Channeled by my teacher, Star Wolf, these questions have helped thousands of people transform through the process of self-inquiry. The 30 Shamanic Questions guide us through a journey of remembering, surrender, forgiveness, and reclaiming ourselves.

In a trusted container, we not only learn from the wisdom of the group, but we also grow our compassion for ourselves and others.

North County Food Bank Needs Rugs

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

North County Food Bank is seeking donations of a few large rugs. We run carts, both full of food and empty, through our garage, which also serves as an intake center. The carts make a huge racket as they travel over the bumpy cement, making it hard to hear and rather unpleasant to be in that space. We are seeking a few large rugs (at least 5 x 7, but preferably larger) to help us tamp down the noise.

These do not need to be nice rugs! Holes and stains are not a problem, though we would prefer that they aren’t stinky or have too much pet hair.

Please text Jenny at 503-706-5066 if you have one to donate.

Thanks as always to our wonderfully supportive community!

24 folks who claim to “appreciate the fact that the BBQ is a platform for dialogue and differences of opinion” wrote a very hateful post suggesting that my last post was “outside the bounds of decency and civility.”

Really? Show us where.

And they wrote my post is “vitriolic, hateful and entirely untrue, rooted in centuries-old myth, slander and falsehood.”

Again, show us where.

HOW ABOUT JUST ONE OF YOU 24 BACK UP JUST ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU WROTE? SHOW US JUST ONE FALSEHOOD THAT YOU CLAIM I WROTE>

You can’t, because everything I wrote is true and. (Except I was wrong about this: Biden did NOT bomb Yemen 1,000 times, he bombed that tiny, mostly-defenseless Muslim Nation OVER 1,000 times for his Saudi masters and Israel.)

Do you 24 deny Al Qaeda is now in charge of Syria, and that they were installed by Biden’s CIA, and that as soon as they got in power they murdered 7,000 Alawhite Christians? Is that a myth? Is it untrue?

Perhaps you 24 are suggesting that Fetterman’s gifted silver pager is a fake, only silver-plated?

Do you not believe that geoengieering exists? If that’s the case, then maybe you should enroll in this class a U DUB:

atmos.uw.edu/~robwood/Geoengineering/

Do you deny that most folks who died of ‘covid’ were social security recipients?



Where is the vitriol and hate in my post? That’s the part of 24s letter that really pisses me off. I am writing to wake you up, to stop war, to stop genocide in the Middle East, to stop children from having to be masked at stool again, to stop geoengineering until they tell us exactly what they are spraying, etc. etc. Vitriol and hate my ass: SHOW US.


And exactly what is ‘rooted in centuries-old myth, sander and falsehood’???


That Lehman Bros, Rothchilds and Goldman Sachs are Zionists bankers that have immense an undue influence over our banking system? The too-big-too-fail guys that Obama bailed out? Or is Obama’s bailout a myth too?

Lots of strong words from 24 folks who can’t argue one single point. Not one!

This is a space for dialogue, not hysterical and hateful and entirely baseless accusations.

Thank you to the folks at BBQ for believing in free speech! For as we can all see, there are those among us who would love to get rid of free speech. We gotta use our rights or they will be taken away folks! Speak up even if your voice trembles or whatever that bumper-sticker says.

And by the way 24, nobody is making you read what I write. You read what I write because you want to read it.

🙂

Wheeler

Whoa now!

Here’s how the Cambridge Dictionary defines hate speech: “public speech that expresses hate or encourages violence towards a person or group based on something such as race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation.”

I have frequently challenged Andy Norris on this platform and I imagine that might put me on Andy’s list of “war pigs.” So what?

I submit that whatever you may think of them, many of Andy’s comments reflect HIS hatred toward things in our society that actually ARE NOT right. He’s not encouraging YOU to hate. Does he go way, way overboard in how he expresses himself? Yes, indeed. Is he too captivated by shiny conspiracy theories, e.g. chemtrails? Yup.

But here’s my point: expression has value and silence can be complicity.

One of the downsides of our utopian tri-village community is that we spend too much effort trying to turn it into a virtual gated community, free from the weight of the world. The latest example on this platform was a request by john@bainassociatesinc.com to “depoliticize [BBQ]… so that it can serve the needs of the users without triggering acrimony or conflict.”

We LIVE in an era of acrimony, conflict and loss of basic rights! How does it serve us to ban any mention of this in a public forum?

Grow a spine! Far worse is yet to come.

HATE SPEECH AND SLEEPY JOE

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

HATE SPEECH

Here are three rules you should know about “Hate Speech” and the First Amendment:

1. The First Amendment protects all ideas, loving, hateful, or in between.

In the United States, “hate speech” is just a political label, like “un-American speech” or “rude speech.” Some people use the phrase broadly, some more narrowly – but there’s no legal definition, because there is no “hate speech” exception to the First Amendment..

As the Supreme Court held in 1974, “Under the First Amendment there is no such thing as a false idea. However pernicious an opinion may seem, we depend for its correction not on the conscience of judges and juries but on the competition of other ideas.”

Or,
“…the proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom to express ‘the thought that we hate.’”
Andy’s remarks are not hate speech!

SLEEPY JOE

*BEFORE, it was OK. It was, well, quiet. Sleepy Joe was at the wheel, ???????……so quite and non-disturbing…………….

All was quiet! Really bad things that hurt our government, and its people and our future were going on behind the scenes. We didn’t know. Actually many of us don’t want to know. It is better not to know, it disturbes our sleep. We just want to enjoy the beauty of our surroundings and our friends and family.

EVERYTHING IS TOO LOUD NOW – TRUMP and MUSK are TOO LOUD! WE DON”T WANT TO KNOW

We all know that social security is going to run out of money sometime soon. We are told this by the media. This didn’t start with Trump!

Have you heard anything about how to fix this from your glorious leaders, both Repubs and Dems? NO – because it is too sensitive – they might lose votes. Votes for them are far more important than fixing your social security!

Well Trump and Musk are trying to fix it – they suggest possibly putting it in the stock market. This was actually suggested about 50 years ago when I was in my 30’s. I thought it was a terrible idea at the time. But people who could see into the future knew some changes would have to be made. But no elected person talked about it! Too dangerous for their reelection.

When social security was first started, 4 working people contributed to each social security check. Today it takes 16 working people to contribute to the money I get from my social security check.

Do you want this problem to be fixed or not? YES OR NO?
Here is what to do… I am going to do। it…. I am going to send a letter to my US representatives, Dems all of them, and I am going to ask them what they think would fix the problem of social security. It will be interesting if they will reply. My guess is they will sent a generalized form letter back or nothing at all. All they do now is denigrate Trump and Musk and try to scare you to death….Well, we’ll see……

On the coast we have many different types of weather events: flooding, tornados, ice storms, power outages, a hurricane, and possibly some day an earthquake/tsunami.
We may not like to think about these events happening here, but we do need to think about being prepared for emergency situations.
When we are prepared as neighborhoods, as coastal communities, we can help each other and be less stress on our emergency responders.
Register for either of the upcoming WaSH classes and learn about water sourcing, water filtration, water storage, and sanitation & hygiene practices that will aid you during weather events and natural disasters.

We, the undersigned, appreciate the fact that the BBQ is a platform for dialogue and differences of opinion.

The recent post by “Andy, Wheler” (sic) titled Social Insecurity is not conducive to dialogue and is outside the bounds of decency and civility. It is vitriolic, hateful and entirely untrue, rooted in centuries-old myth, slander and falsehood.

This “Andy” rant does not deserve further rational engagement.

White Clover Grange Apple Grafting Workshop

White Clover Grange hosts apple tree grafting workshop

On April 5 from 1pm to 4 pm, the Grange will host a grafting workshop that is free and open to the public.

We will feature heritage apple varieties that will be grafted on to semi-dwarf disease resistant root stock.

The art of grafting is an old one. Since apple trees do not reproduce the same variety from their seeds, farmers and horticulturalists take scion wood (a young branch from an existing tree) and attached it to a similar sized branch that has roots. The two branches are matched for size and then taped together. If done well, the two parts will fuse and a new tree will grow. The scion wood is responsible for the type of apple, while the root stock controls characteristics such as the height of the tree, vigor, and disease resistance.

Materials will be provided. However, if you would like to bring scion wood from your own trees, it is best to collect young branches about the size of a pencil as soon as possible, while the trees are still dormant, and place in a bag in the refrigerator until the workshop.

To sign up for the workshop or for more information, contact Jennifer Childress at 503-801-4078
