Ah, you're you're h h.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
H you're you.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
And welcome back to another edition of Steel News. Yaw
the war zone it continues. I apparently am seriously under
attack today. I think something with what I said earlier
today has got the powers that be attacking the power
in my house. But hey, this is where we get
the facts that cut sharper than fear. We follow the
truth wherever it leads. I'm your host, An Vandersteel, and
today We're going to dive deep into real solutions that
(01:18):
we must embrace in order to survive. And I'm not
just talking about getting a backup generator, which is one
of the things I'm sure my guests will recommend, but
we are looking at the face of a complete engineered
collapse that if you saw what we broke earlier today
on Steel News, go to my Twitter account at Anne Vandersteel,
or my rumble account steel News or Ann Vandersteel or
getter or twitch or wherever you can find me YouTube
(01:40):
even if they don't take the shows down, we are
presenting the information that is giving you the writing on
the wall. And you know what, the big writing on
the wall that my good friend Michael Johan has been
talking about as well as food shortages, manipulated weather patterns
that we've talked about with Hurricane Helen and the ground
Zero North Carolina show documentary that we poisoned supply chains.
(02:02):
I think we can all remember COVID and what that
looked like. And of course we now are very well
aware about the system that doesn't serve us anymore. We
the people, we've got powers that are engineering dependency, a
growing them of Americans in the face of all that, though,
are now standing up to reclaim their sovereignty. I like
to say they're doing it by one seed, one chicken,
and hopefully one homestead at a time if they can
(02:23):
afford one. In today's day and age. My guest today
is a warrior in that movement. She's the founder of
the Grown Network. She's a former I would save someone
engage in high finance, but she'll probably explain otherwise. She's
been turned into a modern day homesteader and educator. And
if you've ever wondered how to grow a half of
your own food in your backyard even in a crisis,
Marjorie Wildcraft is the woman to learn from. She's been
(02:46):
called the Martha Stewart self reliance but don't make any mistakes.
This isn't about luxury, it's about liberty, and she's going
to be teaching us how to stand on our own
two feet when the system collapses. So get ready, folks.
We're not talking about theory. We're actually talking about practical, tactical,
and spiritual resilience in the age of a global upheaval.
Marjorie wild Craft joins us. Now, if I can actually
(03:10):
pull her up on the stage, Marjorie, if with any luck,
we will not have power outages like we did about
fifteen minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
You know, I think people need to get used to
power outages and we all have to really adapt because,
as you pointed out in the intro, this is it's
a demolition and it's structured and designed and they're executing it,
I would say, almost perfectly. So if you're not it's happening,
like let's you know, a lot of us were conspiracy
(03:38):
theorists years ago saying hey, this is happening, and people
are like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think you know, if
you don't see it now, you're in big trouble, all right,
And you're absolutely right that the it's the food system
and that's uh I was actually called to do this
work to learn how to grow food and teach people
(03:58):
how to grow food and backyard food production. I'm not
about farming. I'm about how do you, as a family
or an individual grow enough food to be able to
sustain yourself. I had no idea that I was going
to be like in the in the in the almost
the crosshairs of the of a critical skill that was
essential for us for winning this war. I had no
(04:20):
idea we would be at war. But here we are.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Here, we are Ephesians, We're all we're all suited up
with our armor of God, and we're going to battle
on a daily basis. I want to I have to
dive into this really quickly with you because I need
to know. You know, we all have our moments when
we woke up. For me, it was seeing George Bush
sitting in a classroom full of children as the planes
were flying in the building and they were playing the
(04:44):
replay of him sitting there in Sarasota, Florida, by the way,
getting whispered in his ear, And it was I studied
body language and persuasion and argumentation along with journalism in school,
and I saw his reaction and it wasn't that of shock.
It was that it was that of someone who knew
this was coming, was prepared for it, and was digesting
(05:05):
it and sort of like this moment for him where
he's like, well, this is our go time. It said
it all to me, but I didn't know what I
was seeing. I didn't know really who was behind it all.
That was my red pill moment?
Speaker 2 (05:16):
What was yours? Wow? Well, I'd have to say the
thing that got me into growing food was I was
living in Austin, Texas, and I had a fairly successful
real estate investment business. I'd made my first million by
the time I was forty and was looking at, you know,
going to that ten million and one hundred million. I
was playing the game. I was in the matrix. I
thought that's what we do, right, and I was going
(05:38):
well at it. And I'm also pretty community minded, and
I was volunteering on a project to get locally grown
food into an elementary school. One of my friends was
Steve Bridges, who was the president of TAFKA, the Texas
Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association, and he had this dream
and vision of having local organic food in all the
school system and I'm like, this is what this no brainer.
(06:00):
We got to work on this. And I'll never forget
the meeting when when that whole project absolutely and completely failed,
because that was the time in my life when you know,
when you have that you know, you've run into a
semi truck, or or you've gotten that stage four cancer diagnosis,
or it was like that, you know, and was was
(06:22):
we found out that there was not enough locally grown
food in the county to provide even part of the
vegetables for one small elementary school. And Texas has some
big counties and you know, outside and around Austin, it's
supposed to be progressive, right, right, And we found out
the same is true around Dallas, US everywhere, you know,
(06:42):
everywhere across the United States, with the exception of a
few areas, the whole food supply system has been absolutely
and completely centralized. So all those save the small farm
concerts that Willie Nelson did, didn't do it. You know,
they're all gone. We've had a small resurge in since then,
(07:04):
but you know, now we're having lawfare on farmers and
all that. But yeah, I honestly that night when I
realized it and everyone realized I don't know how that meeting.
I think it just sort of everybody just disappeared because
I knew there was only four days worth of food
in the in the grocery stores.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
That's that end of itself. I mean, people, can we
just hover on that point for a second, because I
don't think people understand that, especially when you live in
cities like New York City, which is surrounded by water
and you've got a truck everything across a bridge or
a tunnel. They don't grow anything in New York unless
you're a tower garden or maybe something in Central Park.
But that's not enough to feed New York City four days.
(07:40):
And then what happens to people on day four when
there's no food?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Exactly? I knew there was only four days. And when
that's saying, you know, we're only you know, nine meals
away from anikary anarchy, Actually it shouldn't be in animalism
there we're only nine meals away from total chaos. And
it's true. I also knew that the food, even Texas,
which is an agricultural state, it's agricultural, big mask stuff.
(08:08):
It's not like stuff that you can really eat. They
truck in the food on average across the United States
fifteen hundred miles, so you know, fifteen hundred miles. And
then you know you've heard that other statistic it takes
ten calories of energy to get one calorie of food
on your plate. This is not a sustainable system when
you knew. But man, that night, in that in the
(08:31):
community center I had organized the meeting facility for us,
I just I could not stop shaking because I also
knew I was surrounded by twenty million Texans who were
armed to the teeth and if any I had two
small kids, like, what would I do? And I realized
that no amount there are scenarios where no amount of
money is going to get you what you need, which
(08:53):
is food. So right then and there, I said, well,
you know, whatever I've been doing up to this point
in my life is no longer really important. There are
a lot of people who know how to make money,
and I had gotten very good at it. I really
enjoyed it. I would love that game. But I realized
that's not important. There's almost nobody who knows how to
(09:14):
grow food, and there is some scenario that is going
to happen at some point in time. I mean, it's
just a mathematical certainty. I had no idea that we
would end up being in this war that we're in,
but I knew that at some point in time there
would be a crisis when food was going to be
the pivotal thing that would determine the outcome, and that
(09:36):
people had to start regaining some level of self reliance,
starting with me.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Well, and you have now grown this into the Grown network,
and we're going to pull your website up here in
a little bit on this broadcast. But what you're talking
about is something that we've been talking about for a
long time. And Michael John who is my partner in
Operation Burning Edge, where we did a lot of work
along the Texas border and down in the Jungles and
the Dairyen Gap, and we've showed the criminals that have
come across the border, many of who've been involved in
(10:03):
horrific incidents here in this country.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
By the way we've.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Tracked them all.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
It is really startling.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
This is all part of the weaponization of human migration.
But it's all part of the weaponization. Are part of
the process of war and of taking over America. As
I said earlier today in another show, America is the
Alamo to the world, which is why millions of people
have come here, because they want to be in a
country they believe to be free. But if anything, we
are not operation operating as a constitutional republic. We're operating
(10:30):
under a corporate construct with US codes and agencies, bureaucracy
of people. We never elected these bureaucrats that are just
out there running rough shot over us and that we
can't address that. And we are and we're hoping to
help President Trump address these issues because it's we the people.
It's our civic duty, which is what you're talking about.
Civic duty, personal responsibility, accountability, self reliance, to feed your
(10:52):
own face, put food in your own pie hole, as
they say, to make sure that you're not dependent on
the system. As you said, nine meals for four days away
from famine and chaos. And Michael jan has been been
predicting famine. Mike Adams, who I know, you know down
there in Texas has been predicting famine. And we've all
been helping prep people, you know, get your prepper packages,
(11:13):
your meals ready to eat, grow your own, whatever it is.
But I'm not sure everybody has totally heard this message.
And right now, while President Trump is in office, people
have this sort of I think, false sense of security
even though we continue to march towards a technocracy here,
a technocratic total track and surveillance state right now, track trace,
surveill state with Pallenteer coming in nine hundred billion dollars
(11:36):
in contracts basically behind all of the systems for all
of the agencies. They're going to be sort of the backbone.
It's all artificial intelligence designed to tract trace and they're
selling it again under health and so this is, you know,
more of the same to me from the New World
Order playbook. That is highly disturbing. But famine has always
(11:56):
been you know, as Michael calls it, the three Musketeers
you have, you know, famine and war they always go together, right,
Famine wars, pandemic, you know, famine, pandemic war. It calls
a panfa paanph war, pandemic famine war. And so we've
had the pandemic, we've had the weaponized human migration, we've
had touches with war, and we're seemingly spooling up again.
(12:17):
We've got threat issues going on now between Russia and China,
and there's some you know, a lot of jawing going
on coming out of this administration and others to potentially,
you know, go to war in that capacity.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
So we have all those we have all those migrants
staged on US soil, and I've just been waiting what
is going to be the you know, they're they're all
on standby, they've been armed. I'm just wondering what is
going to be the signal to activate them. I think
people are also like, oh, that's the Middle East, Oh
that's Ukraine. It is going to be here on American soil.
I don't think anybody should doubt that. And you need
(12:51):
to be preparing for that absolutely.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
So let me let me get right to the chase here.
Taking what I said aside, right, take the war piece out,
But just looking hyper locally, you said, you realize that
Austin couldn't feed itself, and Texas is huge. So what
are some of the other signs that you're actually seeing
that suggests that we're already in the early stages of
a systemic food collapse.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Well, one of the first ones, pretty simple, is go
to your grocery store. You know how much are a
dozen eggs? Right? You know how much is a pound
a Hamburger. Everything is going up in price, and that's
because we are starting to see well, a combination of things.
One is the inflation destruction of the US currency especially,
I mean, we're going to the US currency. It's just
(13:37):
a matter of if is it going to be this
week or will it be next month when the bricks
thing gets switched on and the current and the dollar
is dropped. At that point, you won't be able to
buy food. The other is there are you know, I mean,
it just makes common sense. Like almost every other day
there's a volcano going off. There's been massive flooding all
over the world. This has been going on for years.
(13:59):
Do you which we used to be the bread basket
to the world, who is growing food in U can't
crane anymore. There's so many agricultural areas that are no
longer functioning. And the actual supply, the global supply of
food has been dwindled and dwindled and dwindled to where
we're about to hit that point.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Now.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
We're very fortunate here in the United States it hasn't
hit We're like going to be as you pointed out,
the last bastion. But you talk to people in the
Ukraine talk to the people in the UK, talk to
people about almost anywhere else in the world, and it's
getting to where they can't afford to eat. This has
also been you know, you know what the powers that
be they off, they'll tell you what they're doing. And
(14:38):
in twenty fifteen, Cargill actually organized a scenario, you know,
kind of one of these John Podesta type things, and
it was called the Food Chain Reaction, uh. And what
they did is they simulated and they did the thing.
You know, they get all the world leaders in there,
and they have a game. And the game was that
something big would happen in twenty twenty and throughout the
(14:59):
entire decade of twenty twenty to twenty thirty, there would
be all kinds of weird weather anomalies, and there'd be
all kinds of political problems, and ultimately the price of
food would go up at least four hundred percent from baseline. Now,
they did not include hyperinflation in that, so they were
they were saying, we're organizing a famine. We are going
(15:21):
to absolutely implement it. And they showed you how interestingly enough,
at twenty twenty as the big thing, which ended up
being the you know, the whole COVID experience rolled out.
They took a lot of that stuff, They took the
website off of the Internet, but you can still see
remnants of it, and you can still so this has
been planned. And even the un which is one of
(15:43):
the mouthpieces for that organization or that side, they said, yes,
a famine of biblical proportions is coming, you know, so
you've been warned and you don't have to It's not
rocket science. Again, I also equate. I love looking at
history and financial Wineer, Germany, Wymer, Germany. In January of
(16:04):
nineteen twenty two, a price of the price of eggs,
and I believe the eggs is a bell weather indicator.
And you can say, well, why would that be the
same now, I'd say, well, there's a lot of the
same leadership that is just repeating themselves over and over
again through time. But the price of eggs was three
marks and people were complaining because it had tripled in
(16:25):
the last couple of years. Sound familiar like as in
January of this year. By October of that year a
price the price of a dozen eggs was a billion marks. Now,
these people did not have smartphones, they didn't have the internet,
I mean, this happened. When hyperinflation starts to roll out,
(16:46):
it happens very very quickly. And I believe that we
are on that trajectory that we have. We've hit the
lower part of the bathtub curve and we're about to
see it shoot up exponentially, like it's going to just
be astonishing to see a cup of coffee, you know.
I mean already in the local restaurants, I go to
restaurant's three times what it used to be, you know,
(17:08):
just even a year ago. So we're seeing those price increases.
So I absolutely agree with you. You absolutely need backup
food supplies and you need to start learning how to
grow food. And I have dedicated the last twenty years
of my life finding the fastest, easiest and quickest ways
for people who have no experience. They're older, and they're
(17:29):
shape to start growing their own food. And that's said, Oh,
I appreciate you putting that up. That's my main website,
but really, backyardfood production dot Com is the best website
to start out with. I have a free webinar there
and in forty five minutes I candense this twenty years
of cherry picking the easiest ways to grow food to
where you can be producing a lot of really good calories.
(17:52):
And the elephant in the room is nutrition. You produce
a lot of calories and nutrition even just in thank you.
That's the web site. I know that's a terrible crappy
little video on the thing there, but it gets the
point across.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
We're all now getting the job done these days. Marjorie,
no time.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
That's the job done. I know this. This webinar used
to be like over an hour and everybody said we
need I'm like, everybody's got, you know, attention deficit disorder now,
and so I dialed it down to forty forty five minutes.
It moves quickly and you'll will show you a very
simple three part system how to get started. You can
get started any time of year. I've lived in I've
(18:33):
homesteaded in Texas, I've homesteaded in Colorado, I've homesteaded in
western Oregon, I've homesteaded in Puerto Rico. I am very
familiar with many many different bioregions around the world. This
is designed. This webinar is focused for you, no matter
where you are. You will come away with a plan
that you can start implementing immediately. And it's a very
(18:54):
simple system to grow half of your own food. In
the webinar, I'll show you the amount of calories you'll produce.
And a lot of people are like calories it's a
bad word. I'm like, no, that's about to be a
unit of currency, right, you need calories. It's great, and
the nutrition and I show you what it looks like
on a day. But you know, here's this is what
a design of a very simple, good solid chicken coop is.
(19:14):
And here's a design for a rabbit hutch. And here's
the You don't need a huge garden. Here's a hundred
square foot garden. This is what it looks like. This
is what it takes to operate. We design it this
way so that way, if you have a bad back
or if you bad knees, you can still do this.
I've taught it to little kids, I've taught it to elders. Yeah,
and I'm very passionate. I mean, I really fully believe
(19:38):
that we can win this war. It looks I mean,
I don't know what the numbers are, and they certainly
look like they got everything. They get the financial system
and the food supply and the transportation and the money
and everything else.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
They don't have Marjorie.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
They don't have God.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
These people and they don't believe in God.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
That's what they don't have.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
And you know, I've seen God pull out some Hail
Mary's in my lifetime, but this is going to be
the Hail Mary of all Hail Mary's. So I want
to get super practical because Mary was practical. But if
let's just if you're living in suburbia, you're living in
an apartment, or god forbid, you're in New York City,
and no disrespect, I used to love New York City,
but I haven't. I'm too afraid to go back there now.
(20:21):
I don't want to see it what it's transformed into
at this point in time. What would be the first
step for someone that doesn't have dirt outside their kitchen window?
I have, you know a patio that has some planter boxes.
I've got a grow tower, a tower garden, I should say,
I've got other stand up planter boxes. What would you
recommend for someone living in a thousand square foot apartment
(20:43):
that you know, how do they grow food?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
How do they help? Yeah? So the first thing I
love what you've got is a tower garden There's also
another one called the garden tower. Those are wonderful devices
to help people. They're you know, basically containers that are
helped to shape you be able to grow food. I
love those. Get started with them. If you've got a
sunny windowsill, you need just start out with some of
the basics like basil and mint and chives and rosemary.
(21:07):
I mean, these plants are what we call bulletproof because
they're really hardy, and I would recommend that you put
them in as big a pot as you can possibly
fit on that window sALS you get them from the nursery.
There're being a little pot. Upgrade them to a big pot.
And the reason why is the bigger the amount of
soil that that plant has, the more water and things
(21:29):
that will be able to retain and be more forgiving
of your erratic watering schedule. So what I really recommend
with these and it's astonishing what a little bit of
herb does and it's so inspiring. So you made your
spaghetti and whatever, and if you just chop up a
little bit of fresh basil on it at the end,
it's astonishing how the flavor will pop ye. So those
(21:52):
three or four plants that you have in that window
sill are going to teach you a tremendous amount. You'll learn,
Oh my god, they're not getting enough sunny sun. They're
getting all green and they're going leggy, which they get
kind of tall, and you're like, oh, they need more
sun or their leaves start turning brown on the end
and they're like, ooh, so I forgot to water them.
You know, everything you learn from those four plants in
(22:13):
a window sill will be the same thing when you're
out in a garden or when you're managing acres. And
please don't tell me, oh, I'll never be managing acres
because you have no idea what you're going to be
doing in a couple of years from now. We are.
We are in such a vortexa change. I had no
idea what I was doing to and you're you know,
two years ago, five years ago. It's crazy. So the
(22:35):
other thing is mushrooms. You know, you can grow mushrooms
in a closet. They got some really great simple kits.
Now it's just a log and you missed it with
water from time to time, and yeah, it's a total kit.
But you're getting experience and you're having it. There's a
lot of other herbal stuff you can do. You know,
learn how to make herbal curfs, cough syrup, or you know, uh,
(22:59):
learn how to start taking care of yourself with herbs
and herbal medicine. There's a lot of wildcrafting and foraging
that you can do. Like let's see, it's gonna soon
be acorn season. Acorns grow almost everywhere. They're a wonderful
wild food. That's a great one to start with because
there's no.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Oh, they're not just for squirrels and chipmunks.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
You can actually you eat them and it's pretty harvest
and process them. So start looking around at you and
if you don't have a place like I was when
I first moved here in Puerto Rico, there was no
I said, the places I was living in there was
nowhere to grow any food. So I've been working with
the mayor in the city to create a community garden,
(23:38):
like you know, do it right, you know there's an
empty lot, find out it owns it or even not
just start Sometimes I was just grow. I actually still
am gorilla gardening, right. I just plant out trees or
plant out you know, nut trees, on on or mango
trees on places that are not being tended that I
know that those trees will grow up and ultimately bear fruit.
(24:00):
So we call that a gorilla gardening.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I want to back up for one second, because you
said acorns, and I mean a lot of people have acorns.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
All you know, Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
You know most of the country has these trees that
produce acorns, these oak trees. So I'd love to know
what can you eat from the acorn? How do you
eat an acorn? I thought those were just for the animals.
I mean, this is great news to me because I've
always thought about trying it, but I thought, oh, maybe
they're toxic.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
No, they're not. Actually so the white oak acorn, the
white oak acorns are a little less. The acorns have
what we call tannic acid in it, okay, and it's
not a big deal. If you get the white oak acorns,
they tend to have less. And the way you can
tell the difference between a white oak and a red
oak in general is the leaves. Will you know how
(24:47):
they have those lobes on it? Well, the white oak
acorns tend to have rounded lobes, whereas the red oak
acorns tend to have pointed lobes on their leaves. But
it almost doesn't matter. Just collect the acorns and then
shell them, and inside you'll a little you know, a
little nut, like a little bit of meat. Okay, put
that into a blender, or just use a hammer or
a rock and break it up a bit and then
(25:09):
let it run water through it for what you know.
Sometimes I just put it in a half gallon jar,
put water on it and strain it off. Water on it,
strain it off, you know, do that six, eight, ten times,
and you'll see the water. At first it's really dark
red with the dark brown with the tannins, and then
eventually it gets lighter and clearer and clearer, and then
you have this acorn meal, and that's just wonderful stuff.
(25:32):
I mean, if you want to dry it out, then
you can use it as a corn flour.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
I use protein or what's in it.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Protein and fat and all kinds of minerals. And believe me,
the two most difficult macro nutrients to produce in your
backyard are number one fat and number two protein. And
for those of you who are storing food, I really
recommend now absolutely the beans and the rice and the
freeze dried stuff, stock up on it. But I've got
(26:01):
a freezer. I'm looking at it right now, and it's
full of butter. You know, you think about it. In
your backyard, there are no fatty vegetables, there's no you know, and.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Your orders here we do hoard butter.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Good, and you do need fats to operate. I went
to Cuba to bring you a lot. Yeah, I yes, exactly.
I interviewed some of the survivors in the Cuban Special
Period and knew, great, how they name these things, and
they talked about they didn't have any oils or fats,
and people's skin turned gray and started to flake off
(26:36):
because they didn't have the oil, and they couldn't think.
They just they It was almost like they went insane
because yeah, the brain really needs fat. So yeah, oh gosh,
I don't know where I went off on that, Dan, Now,
that's okay.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
I diverted you because you said acorns, and I thought,
oh my god, I've always wondered about these things.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
I love nuts. They're so delicious, you know, I get
them after I've tanned the straining a tan, do the
strained off the tannins. Yeah, they're wonderful and I you know,
just make a mash out of it and then I
mix that up with maybe some eggs and a little
bit of maple syrup or something, uh, and then make
these absolutely incredible pancakes. Yeah. I mean when you you
(27:16):
will never eat the aunt Jemima bullshit ever again. You know, like, yeah,
we're talking really good stuff. I think I'm pretty sure
we've got a blog post at that on the Grown
Network because it's we have a little course on foraging.
We got to actually got several courses on foraging because
it's it's one of the ways. Now there are there's
another website called Shared Earth, and I think there are
(27:38):
some others where if you don't have a backyard, somebody
who does but can't do anything, they agree that you know,
you can work together to figure out and that they
they're letting people know that they're you're welcome to come
negotiate with them to use their backyard to grow things.
And I can't tell you how many older elders that
you know reach out to me and say, you know,
I've got this land or I've got this homestead or whatever,
(28:00):
and I, I, uh, I don't, you know, I'm too old.
I can't do this, but I would love to work
with younger people and make this happen. So there are
lots of options. I really really believe when you want
to do something, regardless of your current situation, if you
just ask for help sincerely and keep your heart open
(28:21):
and your mind open, you will be given the resources,
You'll be given the directions. I'll get a really funny
story about that, which is maybe maybe a little bit
too funny. So I did get this question about what
to do in apartments, and I, you know, there's the
sprouts and the herbs and all that, and I was
looking for something more substantial, and I was saying, what
(28:44):
can people do? What can I what can can you?
Please show me something? And then my son we found
out he was growing mushrooms in the closet. And what
kind of mushrooms was he growing? Yeah? Right, that's right.
So then we dealt with as his parents in a
disciplinary way that But then I was like, oh that,
(29:05):
oh my god, that's the answer. Mushrooms. You don't have
to grow. You know, there's all aside, there's all kinds
of wonderful culinary mushrooms.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
RFK is all about the psychedelics and he talked about
that openly in the Senate confirmation hearing.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
So it shouldn't be.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
A dirty word anymore as we shouldn't green dioxide.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
It's but in other words, that's something you can do.
And I'm like, oh my god, he's growing it in
his closet. I mean that the answer came to me
that way. So don't discount anything that comes to you know. Yes,
so we did deal with him as parents in a
disciplinary mode. But but I was also like, oh, there's
the answer, right, you know, And you know this portobello,
the oyster, you know, the pink oysters. You could grow
(29:46):
all kinds of wonderful mushrooms and they're they've got real substance,
you know. It's it's not just like a bunch of sprouts.
So there's always a way. There's I know, people that
grow quail. I actually set a girlfriend up with quail
in her living room and we have a quail cage
for it's about three feet wide by maybe two and
a half feet deep, and I don't know, six feet tall,
(30:07):
and she's got several layers and she's got ten coil
in there, and they produced about ten koil eggs a
day and you know, they're quail eggs, but ten coil
eggs is a breakfast, you know, and so every and
they're they're not exactly songbirds, but they're not unpleasant. And
you know, so she's she's getting a source of protein
in fat. That's a whole food. It's a complete food
(30:29):
in in her living room, you know. So I know.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
And one of the things that's a that's a problem is,
of course you know, the hoa right, they have all
these restrictions. I can't have chickens. But my neighboring community,
inside of our gated communities equestrian it's got bigger land,
they can actually have horses and other livestock and chickens.
But when it comes to the government, because we don't
have the land patent to our own property, we have
(30:55):
the deed, which means you don't own the rights to
your property. You could build, you can build on them
and do whatever, but you can't drill into it, et cetera,
et cetera. The local government has a hand in everything
you're doing. So they're actually as of late, targeting a
lot of these backyard gardeners, right, and we've I've watched
people literally break the flight deck below a thousand feet
and spray my house.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
I'm not kidding.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
It's infuriating when they do it so and they're doing
a lot of this, you know, backyard government targeting I
should say, targeting backyard gardeners by under the name of
code enforcement or perhaps it's a climate policy. What are
the risks you know of local government actually targeting backyard
gardeners across the country or is it only really hyper
(31:37):
localized in certain markets From what you're seeing at this.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Point in time, I only see it being hyper localized.
I have not seen the onslaught, and I think that
is coming, but I have not seen it yet. Now
there is definite a major lawfare going on against small farmers,
and they're moving after the smaller and smaller farmers. There's
no doubt about that. As a man. Think is on
your NASA TV that guy does so much amazing reporting
(32:02):
of the unbelievable ways that they're targeting small farmers. They
are really trying to shut down the food supply. But
so far, as yet it has not been a focused
nationwide attack on backyard food production. I do expect that
that may come regarding a homeowners association. Oh and let
me give you an interesting story. So I would say
work with these people, you know, give them a dozen eggs.
(32:25):
The homeowners Association is a small local government that you
can have an impact in. I mean, I've been the
president of two home hoas before in my life. So
you can move into these political organizations and do something
and change things. And as the price of food goes up,
these are just your neighbors. You should be able to
affect that. There's also a lot of ways to grow
(32:46):
food that are not obvious to people often these rules.
There's lots of way. Of course, I'm always a good
way of getting around, you know, like they may say
no chickens, but did they say no ducks? Did they
say no quail? Nobody's going to know you have rabbits.
You put them in the back, right. I mean, there's
lots of ways to do this. And as long as
you aren't planting your plants in rows, there's lots of
(33:08):
ways to grow food that nobody even wreck. Most people
these days are completely ignorant about botany. You can be
growing all kinds of edible landscaping and it's incredible, delicious
food and nobody even recognizes it. So there's lots of
ways to do it, but let me also give you
and I don't think we have time for this, but
let me give you one example. So I used to
(33:28):
live in Austin, Texas, and if you had chickens I
did not at this time, but if you had chickens
in your backyard, you were considered bubba and you were
destroying the property values for the whole neighborhood. Any people
hated you, right, and it was yeah, shame on you.
And there was this one guy, Selwyn Polett, who is
South African, just lovely joe, little guy, and he had
three hens that were just like pets with benefits, you know,
(33:50):
he was getting eggs from them, and he had this
fantastic chicken coop and his whole backyard was like this
fairy land for chickens, and he used to bring people
over all the time and show them. And then it
kind of started to get to be a thing, and
people started having more chickens in their backyards, and then
the whole city began to embrace it. And interestingly enough,
(34:11):
two things. One is I spoke with one of the
officials at the City of Austin. This was a couple
of years ago, the city of Austin, and I hate
saying Austin is that brings up so many connotations, but
let's just go with this. That's where I used to live.
They actually have classes where they teach backyard chicken product,
egg production, chickens, and they will subsidize to some extent
(34:34):
the equipment you need, like the chicken coop or whatever.
And I was talking to one of the city officials
and then, why are you guys doing that, Like, I'm
sure it's not out of the goodness of your hearts,
and they said, no, it's very practical. We found out
that people who have backyard chickens put about one third
less garbage into the landfills, and we are saving a
lot of money on landfill expenses as well as garbage
(34:56):
collection by people who have backyard chickens. So we're included
where we're encouraging that. And then Austin, which way over
does things. But it's kind of fun. They have this
tour every year called the back of the Funky Chicken
Coop Tour, and I swear to God, some of them
I would love to live in some of these chicken coops.
I mean, I just had these diva chickens. I'm sure
(35:18):
Diva chickens, that's the way to say it, But it
just makes a ton of sense. Who's that woman who
wrote Backyard Chicks. I'm gonna remember her name City Chicks. Well, look,
they sell chickens.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
They sell the baby chicks Attractor Supply and I go
there all the time because I pick up ivermectin and
other things. I love tractor Supply. It's like one of
my favorite Saturday morning things to do is go out
and hit the Tractor Supply just because I like to
browse through there and I get ideas and it makes
me feel like I'm connected to Mother Earth when I
walk in there, besides walking out.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
To my garden.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Spiritually speaking, though, there's you know, there's spiritual and there's
psychological resilience in all of this. And I know you
often talk about the spiritual side of growing arone food.
What have you learned from God, Nature, or even yourself
through homesteading and take that message and what's your message
for the people who haven't really connected with that side
(36:12):
that are feeling overwhelmed and hopeless about the direction of
the world right now?
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Yeah, Well, first of all, you've been programmed not to
grow food. Right, every movie, every song or whatever, it
makes the portrays of farmers if they're an idiot. So
you have to recognize you've been programmed, and like everything
else we're doing overcoming that programming. But also so yes,
I was completely freaked out. I was shaking. I had
(36:39):
panic attacks for years, nightmares, night sweats. I mean, because
when you understand the vulnerability of the food system and
the possibility that there may not be any food, it's horrible.
I mean, it's a horrible thing to see and to
live with, and that's what has motivated for me for
these last twenty years. But the real saving grace is
(37:00):
that is this just with your own two hands in
your backyard, working with soil and water and sunlight, and
you're working with forces of creation. You're working directly with
God to produce eggs and tomatoes and squash and acorns.
(37:21):
You know, you're really working directly with forces of nature.
It's unbelievable what will start to happen to you, and
you will be healed on every single level. So on
the physical level, you're not going to be worried about
the grocery stores closing this tuck stop running. I mean,
you'll know that you can provide this basic need for yourself,
which is food. On the emotional level, you know again
(37:44):
you'll be soothed or you know there's not. On the
physical level, you'll be healed of so many incredible diseases.
I can't tell you how many people in the grown
network are like, no, I don't. For me, I used
to have severe allergies and like that is so far
in my history. Now, when you start eating nutrient dense
food and then emotionally you're not as worried about what's
(38:04):
going on in the world because you have some sense
of self reliance. Intellectually, there are reams of studies, I mean,
I could stack it up at least as high as
I am of studies that show that when you eat
higher quality, nutrient dense, fresh, clean food, you score higher
on intelligence tesks, you are better. And then again, this
(38:27):
spiritual connection is it's just divine magic starts to happen
and you get in touch with abundance. One tomato gives
you what you know, fifty tomato seeds, which can make
fifty tomato plants, which make thousands of tomatoes. The same
thing with squashes, with cucumbers and everything you start. It's
(38:52):
astonishing how much you start giving away once you start
growing food.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
So and Jane Ruby and I have started doing that.
We have experimented with seed propagation. It's like, oh, let's see,
and I remember growing from tomatoes. She took one tomato home.
She just sliced it and she threw it in the
dirt and it sprung up a bunch of plants. And
she was like, oh, thanks to the tomato plants.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
And I'm like great.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
I mean she didn't even dry them out and try
and propagate them properly. She just tossed the slice of
tomato in dirt just to see what would happen. So
it is not that difficult, and you can get creative
with it at the end of the day, and you
can experiment with what God put on the planet. So
be fearless with your food, right, but also be smart
about it. I think is the bigger takeaway. Be prepared.
(39:33):
And I think what you're trying to deliver here is
embrace it. God gave us all these wonderful tools, and
He's put them on the planet. And we again, Man
made a bunch of synthetic stuff called it pharmaceuticals, and
told all the people who were doing what you're talking
about is called crazy or Bubba's whatever. And here we
are now going on the other side of COVID, realizing
they poisoned us and they're continuing to do so under
(39:54):
the name of the corporate corporatocracy and their corporate veil
where we can't penetrate, but we will and we are
we will, We absolutely will.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
So I've put together, like I've condensed twenty years of
teaching people how to grow food, and I've cherry picked
the three easiest and fastest ways for you get started
in a backyard. And that's at that free webinar at
backyardfood production dot com. It's forty five minutes. I've really
like I go fast. I just go over the calories
and the nutrition and what it looks like. And here's
(40:25):
the chicken coop, and here's the rabbit hutch, and here's
the garden. And this is how you do it. And
I show you that really it only takes you half
an hour or two an hour a day, and that's
going to be your most pleasant hour. And when you
do that webinar, you'll walk away with a plan. And
I've grown food in Texas and Colorado, in western Oregon
(40:45):
and now in Puerto Rico. I promise you I've been
in your bioregion. This is set up for anybody anywhere
in the world in this webinar, and it's also for
any time a year. There's always something that you can
do to get started. So if you go there and
watch the webinar forty five minutes, you will be super empowered.
You will walk away with a plan for this first
three this first system, which is very simple, it's three components.
(41:09):
Once you've implemented that and you're growing at least half
of your own food, you are leap years ahead. And
then there's so many other wonderful things.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
Yeah, that's great, and I like you with the long hair.
By the way, when did you decide to cut all
that off when I moved to the tropics.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
It's so hot here. Yeah, I cut it off. I
am thinking of going along again, though I'm playing with it.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
You know. The good news is like food, it grows,
you know, every couple of months.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Like food, it grows.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
Well, I got to say, Marjorie, it's it's a pleasure
to meet you, and it's a pleasure to have this
opportunity to speak with you. You really you did tease earlier
that you had a Mike Adams story. I don't want
to let you go without hearing the Mike Adams truck is.
To me, he's a hero.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
I love Mike.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
He is incredibly generous and through the recent flooding in
Texas and then before that in North Carolina, he has
showed up like a hero and his supporters have donated
graciously to allow him to get truckloads full of food
to people who had lost everything. What's your story with Mike,
because I know he's not too far from where you
used to live.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
Yeah, so this is about twenty years ago. I was
living in Red Rock, Texas, and I'm a huge fan
of building community, and so I used to invite people,
you know, to my farm to see what I was
doing and to see how I was growing food. And
I used to call it the Dog and Pony because
one of the things about building community is attracting people
into your area who are like minded. And Mike. This
(42:32):
was before Mike really was working with Alex Jones or anything.
He was fairly unknown at that point in time, and
he came over and he saw what I was doing.
He was really impressed. And I said, where do you live, Mike,
And he said, oh, I live I'm not sure if
he was Wimbler somewhere way on the west side of Austin,
right And I said, oh, I'm so sorry. And he
said what and I said, yeah, I said over there.
(42:54):
I mean, even though it's like, you know, three or
four hours west of us, there, you're that much further
into the desert. There's way less rainfall. There's only like
four species of plants that grow there. And I know
it's beautiful, and I know there's all these people who
have built these MC mansions there, but then you're surrounded
by a bunch of really rich people who have absolutely
no skills. I said, you know, there's no water anyway,
(43:17):
good luck. I loved Mike and I loved the work
he did, and we kept staying inch over the years,
and you're right, he's really been a great supporter of
my work and very very generous guy. Anyway, when he
published Food Forensics, which is a fantastic book that just
goes into all the toxicities. And this is even back
fifteen years ago, I said, Mike, can I bring my
(43:40):
videographer out to you and I want to interview you
and I want to promote this book and help you out.
And he says, yeah, sure, I'm like preparing to drive
four hours and he says, oh, I'm just building a
brand new studio and it's not that far from you.
It's like twenty minutes away in Serra Creek. And I'm like,
why would you build a studio that's that many hours
(44:01):
away from your house? And he goes, oh, you were right.
I moved over to where you are. It's better conditions.
There's no water and better soil. So he actually moved
households because of me. So yeah, well, you know what
I know Cedar Creek.
Speaker 1 (44:16):
I used to live in North Austin. I could see
Lake Travis. We kept a boat up there in a
marina and little teeny maco or whalers, you know, not
a makeo was the whaler. Sorry, I'm thinking of Florida.
A little whaler, little fifteen foot whaler. Gosh. In my twenties,
I used to water skeet five in the morning and
then after work and we had a ball.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
It was great. It was great.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
But yes, I do know what you're talking about with
the McMansions and then down in Bastrop it's a lot
more holistic and people are definitely connected to nature down there,
much more so than up in the north side of things.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
So good call. So anyway, he moved and he's now
built that whole thing up. I love Mike. He's really
been a huge supporter and I really really have appreciated
his support over the years. So you know, honestly, I'm like,
oh God, I would be a multi multi millionaire by now.
I just stayed in real estate. But you know, honestly,
(45:08):
I don't regret it at all. In fact, I'm so
grateful for that that that meeting. It was actually at
the Red Rock Community Center where where I had that
huge like I was just shaking, I that huge wake
up call. It has been the best thing I've ever done.
And even if we weren't in the apocalypse and all
this stuff going on, I would still be growing my
own food. It is the most enjoyable, wonderful, you know,
(45:33):
the connection you have, the spiritual, the magical moments you'll
end up having with your livestock or with plants. It's
just incredible. It's magical. So yeah, you'll look back on
this and go, oh my god, that was the best
thing I ever did.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
Yeah, start with just getting yourself a basil plant at
your local grocery store and putting that in pasta.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
Start there.
Speaker 1 (45:54):
If you don't want to, you know, if you're too scared,
get something very small and then grow up from there
you get addicted to Uh uh.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
I think they got you again. Well, I don't know.
(46:35):
I don't know who's active here, if Anne is being
able to be here. Oh, let's see, I got a text.
Let's see if that's Anne. Let's see what's going on here.
Uh no, Oh, well, I don't know if I'm the
one being live or if Ann is being live. But
really I just want to encourage you to start growing
(46:56):
your own food. It really is the best thing I've
ever done. And it sounds so hum and so simple,
and it really is. And I've really distilled it down
and you'll get so clear and so calm, you'll be
so much more, You'll have so much more inner piece.
It's just such a wonderful, wonderful thing to do and
really pretty simple. You make some really really great friendships
(47:19):
if you have kids. Traditionally collecting eggs and taking care
of the Hens was children's work, and it's a wonderful
way to have young people doing meaningful work. You want
to get those kids doing meaningful work as young as possible.
You know, if I did a lot of interviews with elders,
I was trying to find people who had lived through
(47:40):
the Great Depression. And I used to say, what's your
most meaningful memory with your grandma or your grandpa? And
it was never like, oh, we went to a skating
rink or we went to a movie or anything like that.
It was always, oh, well, I dug potatoes with grandpa,
or I collected apples with grandma, or I did this.
It was always around food. And food is one thing
(48:01):
we all love to do. It like we all love
to eat meals two or three times a day. And
when you start eating food that you've grown yourself, there's
just this whole connection and level of spiritual divinity that
comes through that food because you've grown it yourself, and
there's a real connection between you and the plants and
(48:23):
the animals. You will not be able to buy the
kind of nutrient density in your food as the food
that you grow yourself in your backyard. You won't be
able to get the freshness eating in a farmer's market.
You going out in the backyard five minutes before you
make that salad and pulling that stuff off, or if
you're doing one of the containers like Anna is doing,
(48:44):
pulling that off just before you eat it, that's where
you got the most nutrition, the most flavor, and the
most vibrancy. So just want to encourage you to really
really grow your own food. And I guess, I guess
I'm going to it still says I'm live, and I
don't know what happened to any They are beating her
up with this power outage thing. You know, they're really
(49:08):
they're really we Actually before we got on, we had
tried recording it before and they cut her off or
wasn't even going live. So I'm glad we're able to
get this information out to you. Now. This is absolutely critical.
It really really is critical because we cannot win this
war on an empty stomach. And you have got to
stop eating the food from the grocery store or the restaurants.
(49:32):
It's toxic. They are trying to kill you. They've put
that vaccine into everything. They've got the vaccine into spinach,
and let us now you know, of course it's in
all the meat, so you really don't want to eat
anything from that system. You really need to have this thing.
And the great thing about switching over to this lifestyle
(49:52):
is it's wonderful, It really is. It'll be the most enjoyable,
enjoyable part of your day. I'm bad, are good. I'm
doing my best to keep everybody entertaining.
Speaker 1 (50:05):
So great. This is a great amazing woman talk about
being self sustainable. Even when the host gets kicked off.
Speaker 2 (50:15):
Oh she's coming and going again.
Speaker 1 (50:17):
Oh well, I think I'm they're trying to literally get
rid of me. But anyway, I'm going to wrap this
up because I don't want to keep you on tap dancing. Well,
I'm getting off my own television show here.
Speaker 2 (50:31):
Well, I have to say I really appreciate I've saw
you first working with Michael Johan and I was so jealous.
I'm like, I want to go to the Darien Gap
with Michael jan sometimes.
Speaker 1 (50:39):
So anyway, well, maybe we can drag him back down there.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
We'll see.
Speaker 1 (50:43):
You know, he's in Japan right now with his beautiful wife,
Misako Banaka, and they are it's such a power couple.
They're amazing. It's great people, and they've been screaming about
this for a long time, and Michael's got the receipts.
He's been all over the world, one hundred countries, and
he's he's been talking about panpha wars, pandemic faminine war
and he's never been wrong. And every time he makes
these crazy predictions, he's always right. He might be ten
(51:05):
years ahead of the curve, but he knows what he's
looking at.
Speaker 2 (51:09):
I love the latest red flag. Yeah, the latest red
flag that he and Osaka came out with, and they said, look,
if they shut down the straighter humots, which of course,
you know, who knows who's going to actually do that.
I ran, I'll probably be blamed for it, but you know,
that's a whole other game. He says, if that happens,
he and Masako are going and stocking up, because he
said that means the famine will be imminent. It'll be
(51:32):
like almost immediately when that starts to happen. So there's
a red flag for you. Honestly, start growing your own
food now. I mean, I've done everything to eliminate the
learning curve, but you want to get the early adopters
have the advantage. You can still go buy chickens now.
You can go buy rabbits, you can go buy seeds.
I don't know if you guys remember in twenty twenty,
(51:53):
but seed retailers like they they ran out. You know,
you could not buy a chicken anywhere. Go get started now.
It's vitally important to get started now. So especially if
you're listening to Ann, you're you're ahead of the curve
and we still have some time, but we just don't
know when that rug pull is going to happen. And yeah,
(52:14):
we need.
Speaker 1 (52:15):
As many of you as possible. You you are out
there teaching people. So again, let's spot off your websites
one more time where people can go and follow you
because I want them to get your stuff. You have
the Grown Network, but then you also have the Backyard Backyard.
Speaker 2 (52:30):
Backyard Food Production dot Com. I really recommend people go
there first. A lot of people go to the Grown
Network and it's so overwhelming. I've been doing this for
what fifteen years or something, with so many articles and
so much information. But if you go to Backyard Food
Production dot Com, that's where that forty five minute webinar
that'll teach you the basic system to where You're growing
half of your own food in a back site, in
(52:51):
a backyard size space in less than a half an
hour day. That's not clickbait. I've taught almost a million
people now and I personally know of tens of thousands
have implemented it. So you can do it. You can
actually just tried and tested.
Speaker 1 (53:06):
Backyardfood Production dot com. Don't be scared. Start with a
little basil plant. They sell them at the grocery stores.
Speaker 2 (53:12):
Folks.
Speaker 1 (53:12):
This is not, you know, rocket science. This is what
God created for man to do. He's gave us dominion
over the land, the air, of the water. That's your law,
your law book. Let's go out there and be productive.
And uh, let's keep reproducing because they're trying to stop
that as well. God bless you, Marjorie. I appreciate you
so much, truly, I do. Marjorie Wildcraft. You are a force.
(53:34):
You are a force to be reckoned with. But you
know how to use the force of nature for good
and to be productive so that you're not dependent on
somebody else. And that's really what it's about. God gave
us discernment too. I help people discern from what they
heard you today to go and take food and make
it their personal responsibility.
Speaker 2 (53:51):
So thank you so much for what you're doing. And
it's a it's we need to we need to unite
humanity and this, yeah, we certainly can.
Speaker 1 (54:00):
We certainly can't. All right, I'm going to sign off
because I don't want to get kicked off a fourth
time today. That's just you know, it's getting to be ridiculous.
I'm not gonna let them win that battle. So I'm
getting out before they kick me.
Speaker 2 (54:09):
Out, quick, before you're fired, quick before.
Speaker 1 (54:14):
I'm fire exactly, Marjorie. Thank you so much, Marjorie Wildcraft.
Everybody appreciate your time today. All Right, folks, I'm out
of here. I am got some more things I'm going
to be working on. So please, if you haven't shared this,
show out. This is like, really, you know, no brainer,
one oh one here. This woman is a valuable resource.
Please make sure that you go and check out her work.
(54:35):
I have links to her websites in the description box
on Rumble, so you can always click there. I don't
know to tell you that this war continues, and we
just show earlier today showing you just how they're financing
the war. This is not over by a long shot,
and the deep state isn't just going to go away
because Donald Trump's in office. They're fighting back with everything
they've got and they're not done, so this ain't over.
(54:58):
And again, Trump's president for four four years, there's no
guarantee that we get somebody like him the next four
So this is an forever battle, good versus evil. This
is pretty fundamental. I hope you guys have a great day.
God bless all, and we'll see you again next time.
