Rudolf The Red Nosed Wine-deer.
It was the day before Christmas and all was abuzz at the North pole. In the old days Santa and his elves could load the sleigh in a couple of hours but now, with so many more children to reach, it took several days to load the giant Airbus A380 that carried the presents Santa delivered to children who lived in all four corners of the world thousands of miles from the North pole. In any case, the job was finally done and the elves gathered around the fireplace for a glass or two of Mulled wine to celebrate the completion of another year of hard work. Toy making kept the elves busy most of the year and they were looking forward to their annual vacation in Santa's tropical retreat at his secret island in the Caribbean. They could already envision the scantily clad native girls that would be frolicking in the island's warm water with the reindeer. After a few glasses of the mulled wine they could even imagine that they actually could catch one of these water nymphs, although they had no idea what they would do with her if they did.
As most of you know in times long past, Rudolf got the job as lead reindeer because of his shinny red nose which, of course, lit the sky's so that Santa could see where he was going on this annual Christmas eve flights.
Less well known, is the reason for Rudolph's nose being so bright and shiny. Yep, you guessed it. It was that magical mulled wine! Rudolph had tumbled to the fact, quite by accident centuries ago, that the more wine he drank the shiner became his big red nose, just the thing for guiding Santa's sleigh through the crystal clear Christmas eve nights. Of course Santa paid a price for having a tipsy lead reindeer and, on occasion, Rudolf got a little confused and missed a house or two as he made his way through the star lit sky. But, as luck would have it, the houses missed most often those of children who had been very naughty the past year and didn't deserve presents anyway. So in the end things worked out for the best.
Now days, of course, Santa didn't need a reindeer with a magical nose to guide his massive Airbus through the Christmas eve sky's. Bill Gates, who provided Santa with the state of the art airplane, also provided a crew of pilots to fly the plane. Rudolf, the honorary leader of the Christmas eve flights, now sat in the executive suite in the back of the plane with Santa, Doner, Dancer, Blixen, Dasher, Prancer, Comet, Cupid and the elves. Mrs. Santa made the mulled wine from a recipe her mother had given her centuries ago. After all these years Rudolph's nose still shown as bright and shiny as ever, although it had increased in size a little with time.

America In Decline
We are living in the last days of the great American experiment, of that there can be little doubt. Detroit, with a murder rate of 54.58 per 100,000 is the largest killing field in the country but the nation's capital of Washington DC is not far behind with 13.9 murders per 100,000. Seventy two percent of black children are born out of wedlock; the streets of large cities like Oakland California and Detroit Michigan look like war zones; 59,500,000 of our citizens are on either welfare or food stamps and another 10.9 million are unemployed. Just a few decades ago the USA was the wealthiest nation on earth, now we rank 7th in per capita income and one in every six Americans struggles with hunger.
Cities, large and small are filing for bankruptcy at an alarming rate. States like California with $162 billion in admitted unfunded pension liabilities (outside analyst's peg the true figure to be between $500 billion and $884 billion) is already bankrupt, but most of the people living there don't know it. The nation as a whole, with a federal debt exceeding $17.3 trillion, also is bankrupt. Each citizens share of this debt, which is increasing $2.7 billion each day, is an astonishing $54,345. The printing presses of the Federal Reserve cannot keep this sinking ship afloat much longer. No, as a nation we are finished, may as well stick a fork in us and be done with it!

Trench Gardening
Winter is upon us and this is a great time to consider a soil rehabilitation program for your garden, especially if you are dealing with an inhabitable clay or sandy soil. The soil rehab program, which I call trench gardening, admittedly, requires a fair amount of work but I believe you will be amazed at the results that can be achieved by this simple gardening technique. Organic gardeners are going to be particularly pleased with the vegetables they produce in a trenched garden.
In some ways a trenched garden is similar to a raised bed except that it is buried in the ground rather than being above the ground. There are no fixed rules for the size of the trenches or, for that matter, the positioning of the trenches in a garden. However, as a general rule of thumb, I believe the more trenches and the closer they are positioned to each other the better. In this respect, one 30 foot long 8 foot wide section of my garden is a solid two foot deep trench consisting of about 65% organic material, 25% earthworm castings and 10% native clay soil.
However, most gardeners who use the trench gardening technique, construct 1 foot wide and 1.5 foot deep trenches (the wider and deeper the trenches the better). The trenches run the length of the garden and are positioned 3 to 4 feet apart.
The trenches can be filled with any organic material that one has available. I fill my trenches with primarily with horse manure, fir sawdust and oak leaves. The sawdust is mixed in with the manure I attain from a local stable. If it were available in large enough quantities, I would add food scraps to the mix.
Several authors, who write about trench gardening, recommend that composting earthworms be added to the material in the trenches but this is not necessary if the trenched material contains horse, cow or some other form of manure because these animal wastes invariably contain composting earthworms. In fact, red wiggler composting earthworms are commonly referred to as manure worms because they are invariably found in manure throughout the world.
In any case, plants and vegetables are planted beside the trenches so that their roots can have access to the rotting organic material that has been placed in the trenches. For a gardener raising organic vegetables it doesn't get any better than this!
The following winter one can dig another trench adjacent to the initial one and repeat the process. If the trenched gardening technique is continued for a few years, depending on the size of the garden and the width of the trenches, the soil in the entire garden will have been converted from the initial inhabitable clay or sandy soil to a wonderful organic rich loam ideal for raising almost any plant or vegetable.

The Islamic Culture Will Prevail Without Firing a Shot!
In this blog, I will summarize the startling information presented in a recent You Tube video entitled The World Is Changing.
First, realize that for a culture to sustain itself, its population must have a fertility rate of at least 2.1. If the fertility rate falls to 1.9 it is difficult to reverse the trend and if the fertility rate falls to 1.3 the culture is doomed irrespective of the steps that may be taken to save it.
The fertility rate in Europe has been declining for decades and will continue to decline for the foreseeable future. Today, the fertility rate is 1.8 in England; 1.3 in Greece and Germany; 1.2 in Italy; and 1.1 in Spain.
The problem in France, and most of the Western world is that, while the fertility rate of the native population is falling, the overall population is increasing due to unchecked immigration, 90% of which is Islamic. Southern France already has more Islamic mosques than churches. The problem of Moslem immigration is complicated by the fact that the fertility rate of the Muslim immigrates is 8.1 as compared to the 1.8 for French citizens. As a result, one of every five Frenchman is now Islamic and in just 39 years France will be an Islamic Republic. This will occur without the Jihadists having fired a shot and, of course, the French would not lift a finger to stop them, even if they did!
In Great Britain, 30% of newborns are Islamic and the numbers of Muslims has increased from 82,000 thirty years ago to 2.5 million today. If this trend is allowed to continue, in only 15 short years, 50% of the population in Great Britain will be Muslim. The fertility rate in the European Union is a meager 1.38 and, if immigration policies are not changed, in a matter of a few years Europe, as we know it, will cease to exist.
Things are no different in the rest of Europe, in Russia 25% of the population is already Muslim and 40% of its solders are Muslim. The German government recently reported that the fall in the German population cannot be stopped and, by the year 2050, Germany will be a Muslim state.
In the Netherlands 50% of newborns are Muslim; in only 15 years 1/2 its population will be Muslim. There are now 50 million Muslims in Europe, that number will double in 20 years.
Closer to home, in Canada, which has a fertility rate of 1.6, the population increased by 1.6 million from 2001 to 2006; 1.2 million of this increase in population was the result of immigration, the majority of which was from Islamic countries.
In the USA the native declining fertility rate of 1.6 is propped up to some extent by the higher fertility rate of Latinos immigrants, but even considering this fact, our overall fertility rate is only 2.11, barely high enough to survive as a society. As a result of immigration, the number of Muslims in America has increased from 100,000 in 1970 to a whopping 9,000,000 today. If the demographics do not change there will be over 50 million Muslims in America by the year 2043.
The video the World Is Changing concludes by stating that the information presented should serve as a " Wake up call" to the Western world. On this I certainly concur; however, unfortunately, the video does not give a single suggestion as to what we in the Western world should do to save our culture from the Islamic invasion. Possibly they thought the solutions were to obvious to warrant discussion. In any case, to assure that we will not become a Muslim nation we must do two things.
First, we must stop Muslim immigration in its tracks, not a single additional Muslim should be allowed to immigrate to the United States of America, not a single one! Second, we whites should get off the couch and go back to bed! Of course, it goes without saying, that our wives should throw their birth control pills in the toilet, at least until they have had three or more children. Along these lines governmental policies should encourage procreation not the mass slaughter of babies in the womb. As things now stand, the Muslims are winning the war, not on the battle field, but in the bedroom and, if we are to have any chance of saving our Western culture, this must change.
