Food Security is crucial because it decentralizes the power that has created poverty. Slavery very much exists today, in the form of wage slavery: less blatant and more insidious because the shackles are invisible. We toil in the hopes that we might carve out some freedom and peace in our lives before we expire. We trade away the precious hours of our lives for some digits in a bank account that slip away like water in our hands. And food goes to waste because no one purchased it, houses stand empty because no one can buy them, medicine sits in warehouses when many need it... the hungry, the homeless and the sick fall off the financial treadmill. "The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits or be so dependent upon its favours that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests,” wrote the Rothschild brothers of London to associates in New York (1863). In 1913 Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act which abdicated the power of money creation from the U.S. government to a privately held corporation (The Federal Reserve Bank). A few years later he wrote: "I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." Abraham Lincoln years earlier warned against such a scenario, and shines a light on a peaceful solution we have as a nation to this debacle: "the Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of consumers. By the adoption of these principles, the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity." In the meanwhile, grow some food and save the seeds, its about a whole lot more than just seeds, its about fundamental human liberty.
