The trees on my lot have been exchanged for cell phone trees or some

other undiagnosis life form. While away running from a land speculator

who was after my lot in Venice CA. I ran for two years up the coast to

the Northwest, When I returned after unsuccessful shaking his posse I

found the house looted of it's contents the house's fundamental

structure destroyed and the vegetation/ plant life replaced with GMO's

. This plant life left on my lot is not the usual high end improved

species.These GMO family relative are toxic and carry bad tidings.

Black with rot, gangling oppressive and overbearing in size. I chop it

down a large over extended orange tree bursting with oranges. Hundreds

of oranges in clusters like cherries which close in and darken the

back yard. When I chop the tree down I find it's trunk made of plywood

and epoxy. The  same case in every other tree on the lot as well, the

large ceder up front oozing clear plastic glue down it's trunk when I

take a sampling from it's side. The ground littered with dead leaves

and undisclosed stalks from other trees from somewhere else. The weeds

and bushes and grasses sitting just barely in the ground. Each

individual plant making ground cover for good distance beyond it's

self, a 360 umbrella of cover for the area with a barren dirt floor,

easy to pull them up and throw them out.  Now having eliminated the

ground cover what is revealing is dirt that could only be made by man.

A powder.  A light brown powder which has enveloped the entire

property as if we were in the dust bowl in the back of a moving truck.

The soil or earth now a brown transparent dye when mixed with water,

no mud run off just a thin brown dye stream. The ground where water is

applied quickly slinks away, sinks in, compressed itself  downward.

The ground when dried it flakes up and cracks in large chunks. As I

watered the foundation corners of my home to see if the stability of

the building would hold in the rains, it simply washed away and

evaporated into thin air. I began to look at other plant life outside

of my home in Los Angeles and see it too is so over exasperated in

style, it's grandiose plumes, its twisting and turning trunks, its

sprouting other species in it's bark, the size of flowers and cacti

too much, way too much. I take some bark from an eucalyptus tree and

find the texture rubbery and spongy like a flip flop beach shoe. It

too seems man made. The large palm trees with their cross hatched

trunks which only could happen if the palm fronds were at sharp

opposite angels to each other on every other frond, not realistic. My

conclusion is this our trees and plant life in general has been

exchanged for some blend of GMO's synthetic life form. If we suffer

from global warming it is a pretty good guess that these forms of

plant life do not participate in the natural oxygen cycle which we

depend on to live. How long has this replanting been going on. 40

years perhaps. My tree's and dirt where have you taken them . I want

them back. Tell me are you leaving the planet with our nature. Have

you found some other earth to plow.So your just going to kill us

slowly. I see.

THE WIND CRIES FREEDOM

The Wind Cries Freedom, the new book from Z co-founder Michael Albert, is a sweeping oral history of a future American revolution.

Through thirty interconnected chapters, it draws out the strategies, failures, turning points, and hard-won wisdom of a movement that called itself the Revolutionary Participatory Society. These are not the polished memoirs of politicians: they are the unfiltered accounts of people who organized in neighborhoods, hospitals, universities, stadiums, courthouses, and places of worship, and kept a shared vision alive through cynicism and exhaustion.

The result is speculative political fiction that reads like history: messy, human, and quietly hopeful in the way that only real experience and long thought can produce.

“Read it, argue with it, but don’t look away. The future it recalls is one we must still fight to deserve.”

Yanis Varoufakis

“The most unusual and intriguing combination of prophecy, manifesto, and movement building manual that I have ever encountered.”

Bill Fletcher Junior

“This work fills a huge gap in our social movement literature.”

DOES Z'S SURVIVAL MATTER?

You keep coming back for a reason: serious political analysis, movement reporting, and debate beyond the priorities of corporate media. Today, Z is in a precarious financial position. If Z is part of how you understand the world, help keep it going. The readers who give monthly are the reason this work survives between fundraisers.

CRITICAL ACTION

Critical Action is a longtime friend of Z and a music and storytelling project grounded in liberation, solidarity, and resistance to authoritarian power. Through music, narrative, and multimedia, the project engages the same political realities and movement traditions that guide and motivate Z’s work.

If this project resonates with you, you can learn more about it and find ways to support the work using the link below.

Z is in the most precarious financial position in its history.

Z is a place to think beyond the limits of the present.

For decades, Z has brought together political analysis, movement reporting, debate, and visions of a different future from writers and activists around the world. That work is more than journalism. It is movement infrastructure: movements need places to develop ideas, test arguments, learn from experience, and imagine what comes next.

In the first two days of this fundraiser, 19 donors and 8 new monthly sustainers stepped up. Help us reach 1,000 donors who keep Z independent, for everyone.

For decades, Z has published the analysis, debate, and visions movements need, free of paywalls, ads, and billionaire owners. If that work should continue, Z needs your support now.
