“Framing Nature”, City Roof Top Farming with Raised Beds

Visiting the weekend plant market in Taipei, Taiwan I came across a company helping schools, businesses and individuals install roof top raised pre-fab grow beds so these buildings can become food producers in what is now wasted space. Think 1950's family garden on a city high rise rooftop. 

Called "Framing Nature" its an appraoch we should consider as the world shifts into the Grand Solar Minimum and we as individuals produce more food on our own.

Mad Max Road Looting of Food Shipments Solar Declines & Dark Ages Return

With Venezuela descending into full chaos where the army now loots homes in search of food, you knew it was only a matter of time before truck robberies of food deliveries were next. The same occurred in the UK during the Maunder Minimum with grain shipments.

Fastest solar activity decline in 9300 years, with the least amount amount of sunlight ever recorded in Europe and Russia, now the Maunder Minimum temperatures are beginning to match today's anomalies globally.

Some Data Suggests Global Cooling Started in 2006

North Atlantic Current temperature 0 – 800 metres depth 2004 – 2018 has cooled by 1.0°C to date since the peak in 2006. Additionally to date the North Atlantic Current temperature lost half the heat content it gained from the early 1980s.

So far in 2018 the aa Index has averaged 13.0 and should continue to weaken into the Solar Cycle 24/24 minimum expected in 2020. From the beginning of the aa Index record in 1868 to the end of the Little Ice Age in 1900, the aa Index averaged 15.4. It averaged 20.9 for the Modern Warm Period.

485 Scientific Papers Published in 2017 Undermine Supposed ‘Consensus’ on Climate Change

 A broad survey of climate change literature for 2017 reveals that the alleged  “consensus” behind the dangers of anthropogenic global warming is not nearly  as settled among climate scientists as people imagine.

 Author Kenneth Richard found that during the course of the year 2017, at least  485 scientific papers were published that in some way questioned the supposed consensus regarding the perils of human CO2 emissions or the efficacy of climate models to predict the future. This underscores the “significant limitations and uncertainties inherent in our understanding of climate and climate change.

Seven Reasons Bitcoin will Reach $70,000

You are looking at Medicare, sovereign debt, pension funds, and on it goes, literally quadrillions of dollar value and they can’t even pay for that with the existing GDP. Current IOUs far exceed the ability to service that debt. Even with the highest stock market ever in the US, they still can’t pay for that. Governments need to find wealth from somewhere.

If a 10x return to $70,000 per BTC in the future clears part of the liabilities, why not let it run even further? If it pushes to $140K, people will then have money to spend and rekindle the economy.

Basalt Rock Dust as Plant Fertilizer

One of the most valuable soil amendments and organic fertilizers is volcanic rock dust. Granite rock dust is one example, basalt rock dust is another.

Basalt is an igneous rock packed with trace elements. That’s why using this volcanic rock as a fertilizer provides your plants micro-nutrients that will nearly double yields. Minimum recommended application rate (for the first time) is: 3 tons/acre = 7.5 tons/ha or approximately 1 kg/1 sq.m.

Who is Making Sure what Goes on the Blockchain isn’t Counterfeit or Fraudulent?

The big part of putting anything on the blockchain is who’s going to have the oversight of what goes on the blockchain? If something bad gets put on the blockchain — if something’s counterfeit — who’s going to insure that to makes sure that doesn’t happen? That’s the weak point with putting everything on the blockchain. An example: if you put a deed on there, who’s going to stand behind that deed and say that this deed is not counterfeit, this deed has title insurance. Without that, anyone could put anything on the blockchain. They could have five different deeds for that one property on the blockchain.

The Most Controversial ICO of 2017, ANKORUS

The only way I see the cryptocurrency world expanding, including smart contracts, is a connection to traditional finance. Call me a heretic, but there will be little market cap expansion without easier points of entry and exit for new entrants, and a way for those who have (stocks / bonds / ETF’s) for example to exchange that value and invest into the blockchain cryptocoin ecosystem.

This is what Ankorus will bring during their ICO, a platform to connect cryptocurrency traders to institutional finance and financial assets. Ankorus is a cross between Coinbase, E-Trade and Tether, all rolled into one.

How the Ankorus TGE will Pass a SEC Sniff Test while Tokenizing Financial Assets

I had a chance to ask John Cruz CEO of Ankorus questions that arise when you mention asset tokenization in a cryptocurrency ICO. My first thoughts are SEC and financial regulators, how will you get around that and protect investor funds? Here is what he had to say.  By becoming a broker-dealer entity, we will get the SEC's blessing. Everyone else is trying to tokenize assets while not being a broker-dealer entity, this is where they run into trouble with the SEC.

Food Thieves in France, Cryptocurrency Food Fund and Spanish Ports

As we see thorough history whether it be the Maunder Minimum where grain shipments were accompanied by the military to thieves with grain harvesters in Thailand when rice prices rose, when food gets expensive, people steal. Now we have thieves in France raiding high end grapes from Bordeaux vineyards. So as you can see that food will become the most valuable commodity on our planet by 2020-2021, there will need to be special measures in place to track every ounce of grain and tin of food. Enter the food ecosystem of the blockchain. Organic farmers at the local level are organizing in to co-ops who in turn are offering ICO food coins. But to have a complete ecosystem, you need to monitor shipping and delivery, which all of the supply chain consortium are doing, and lastly, consolidate ports, which is why the Spanish referendum was held. Those who control the food delivery , control society. This is your crystal ball to 2021.

Astrology & Planetary Alignments During the Grand Solar Minimum

I am not an astrologer, but see the energies of our galaxy and star systems now effecting our Earth, and with the intensification of the Grand Solar Minimum. Planets are lining up in very unusual ways. Literally once in 400 year patterns, or exact matches in once in 2000 year patterns. If you are an astrologer and can interpret the transits with the planetary geometry of each year moving forward, please leave a comment or send me a message.

Arctic Ice Increases in August & Europe Begins 1963 Cooling Repeat

The 2017 summer melt season in the Arctic has come to an early end, as now sea ice is gaining an additional 10,000 square kilometers over the last 3 days. Along with a report linking cold European winters with the 11 year solar cycle and freezing Rhine River in Germany, the last time it froze 1963, and this year Finland, Romania and Russia all broke July snow records, last records they eclipsed, you guessed it, 1963.
