Earth of Sol, Milky Way Galaxy, approximately200,000 years after the inception of humanity as it now is

From the Soil-Soaked Desk of Aquaponics Student and Avionics Engineer Matthew Michel,


Dear Freedom Farm and associated families, including all Kingdoms and Phyla.


Winston's early years, by references caught while watching films...


the theatres of Philadelphia, of San Francisco, of Russia --


Listening to Eddie, Mr. Duchin.  Visits at home from the _____Twins, or whoever NYC elites were at the time.
Of Mrs. Linsley's prime:  Fanshawe had an 'in' to the cable [cctv] television industry.   -------->


This is, most probably, whi I am sitting here a mini sonyhandycam hd
on a table, charging one of the voltaic piles


Car Charger:  soon we'll head into the District, to protest what is false in ourselves, in the deceptions we present ourselves by neglecting those areas of observation that include our errors, misdirections.


Winston and cassette players:  acknowledge that Winston has spent a half or so of his life working in, or around, cars.  Riding backseat driver-side on -- 
has a strange heat shield noise on the rising RPM's --


'in the car, passing parked cars.  Piles of coal.


I DO NOT KNOW.

Freedom Farm bios




Everyone here connected at the Occupation on Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C. Some of us spent months there while others came to the plaza recently. All of us are committed to freedom and social and economic justice and are creating a world where these values are the foundation of human existence.

I would like to introduce you to everyone one at a time and tell you a little about each of them.

Charles Holsopple

Charles Holsopple, of Global Shelter Projects, suggests that revolution be thought of as an awareness of the rotation of perception.  He recalls an artshow in Chicago:  "BE NOT AFRAID."  This message written again and again, in every possible language.  The Global Shelter Project (for which he brainstorms signs, "TURN IT AROUND," "YOU ARE HERE."  "YOU ARE HOME.") a system design wherein all 7 billion people of the planet will have access to food, water and shelter.  "If it can be done, or, with that possibility, it must be done."

Charles is an engineer of ease.  A comfort technician, an ergonomist, locating "where things fit, himself... a misfit."  He does not profess enlightenment, but understands, in our stubbornness, we have not released grief, attachment to resistance, to violence.

To create these prototype shelter systems is an investment in our future, not merely a trinket for now.


Bob Ballard

Bob drove his RV from Southern California in early October and joined the occupation of Freedom Plaza when it started on October 6, 2011. He is an award-winning singer/songwriter/composer and the founder of the Hearts Of Fire Project, a non-profit organization that empowers homeless people through artistic self-expression. Since he has been in the Washington, D.C. metro area, he has participated in a number of actions and performed his music at local events. In addition, he is writing articles for on-line publications and blogs about his experience at the occupations and is also writing a book.

Deb Van Poolen

Deb is from Ashland, Oregon. She came to Freedom Plaza in December after participating in the Occupation in Ashland. Deb is a highly skilled organic farmer and is helping us create a large garden here in the back yard. With her help, we have planned the garden layout and are preparing the soil for planting.
  
Matthew Michel

Matthew is 28 years old, born in Covington, Kentucky and has lived in many places within and without the United States of America. He moved to New York at the age of one and then to Nevada and Texas where he lived and studied while growing into the stunted and physically unattractive body he now inhabits.

Matthew is a writer of short fictions and screen plays; for this he remains uncompensated and dissatisfied with the large vacuum left absent by a lack of laughter for his humorous works. He has worked in films, music videos and musical touring in addition to hospitality and art space diplomacy. Matthew has met the lovely Angelica on a long peace trek in Pittsburgh and has vowed to cook her potatoes (that is, cook potatoes for her.)

Angelica Gatewood

Angela is here in Fairfax, Virginia through her association with the Occupation Movement. She spent a little over a month helping at the Pittsburgh encampment, often spending a great deal of time in the kitchen helping to prepare and transfer meals and maintain order and fairly sanitary conditions.

After meeting and teaming up with her best friend Matthew and cruising Pittsburgh Vanuary Van style (a traveling art van project of Bryan, Matt and all the people of Southside), they (with friends Fluffy, Sunshine, Driftwood and Dog Hitchhiker) set rubber and gasoline to asphalt and began a three-day trek to Washington, D.C. After spending their first few days in the Capitol, Matthew and Angelica decided to remain on Freedom Plaza.

Angelica’s mission is focused on resistance – one on a daily and personal level. She enacts change and advocating for peace by honing in on whatever exists within her psyche preventing peace from radiating out of her heart and releasing it with understanding. Angelica is practicing patience so this understanding can make itself clear to her through its natural process of development.

She is now involved with her friends and colleagues at Fairfax Freedom Farm in growing a food garden and harvesting the yields to share them with the other human beings spending their time and finding their eats here on Planet Earth.

Winston

Winston Jerome Lindsley, descendant of Sir
Winston Churchill, is an entrepreneur and
mechanical engineering instructor who has
worked in the Middle East and Russia
for many years.  Now, he is refocusing his
energy to create a more safe, democratic
world for friends in Bahrain and elsewhere
on Earth (this includes Fairfax, VA, as well
as Australia and Thailand.)  He is offering
his time and resources, in addition to
considerable expertise and labor, to create
a thriving food forest, sustaining activists
and activism.

Fairfax Freedom Farm was created by a group of like-minded people from Occupy Washington, D.C. They met and worked together at Freedom Plaza and like many occupiers went on to create other projects to support the social justice goals of the occupation movement. Fairfax Freedom Farm is one of those projects.

The intention of the farm is to demonstrate the sustainability of life through the provision of one of its essential elements – healthy food. It is not enough to oppose the existing corporate food profit system. We must withdraw our support and participation in that system. In order to do that, an alternative structure must be available that would feed people in a healthy and sustainable way. Real freedom cannot exist until we are independent of the corporate power structure that dominates our lives and determines our survivability as a species.

Fairfax Freedom Farm is located in suburban Fairfax, Virginia and consists of a one acre plot designed around the latest organic farming techniques. The project is designed to maximize yield through the use of heirloom seeds and sustainable planting, cultivation and harvesting techniques that support interspecies synergy and resource efficiency.
