Tracy Thurman: Food & Medical Freedom Advocate
[Edited since posting.]
From Brownstone Institute, a post-Covid freedom advocacy organization:
“Tracy Thurman is an advocate for regenerative farming, food sovereignty, decentralized food systems, and medical freedom. She works with the Barnes Law Firm's public interest division to safeguard the right to purchase food directly from farmers without government interference.”
Articles by Tracy Thurman
Topics center on the globalist’s agenda involving food and how we can work toward greater freedom and safety.
Below, Chris Martenson interviews Thurman-it’s a fabulous discussion, well-worth the 2 hours of viewing. It took me about 2 weeks to get through it with my busy schedule, but I learned so much, including the potential healing properties of raw milk. From Martenson’s notes:
“In this critical interview, Tracy Thurman recounts her front-line experiences working with Robert Barnes to help protect the nearly relentless assaults on Amish farmers by a deeply corrupt Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture coupled to an equally corrupt PA court system.”
Tracy Thurman: The War on Food (and on the Amish, and Farmers)
Here are some insightful quotes by Tracy from the interview:
“I came back to a place of faith through witnessing evil, and concluding that if
evil with a capital E exists, so must good with a capital G,
and that I needed to look for it.”
“If something is already filling the God-shaped hole in your life, it’s very hard for the state to become your God.”
“The control grid is built before it’s turned on.”
“I want to support the farmers who are giving me this incredible blessing of health.”
“Stop eating processed food. It’s poison and it’s becoming more poisonous. Get to know your food and your farmer. See if you can find a local supply. Be intentional about what you eat. Build a local community and start considering how you can set up payments for transaction with your farmer outside of the credit card or digital system because at some point that is going to be shut down for anyone who is a dissident raising healthy food outside the corporate system…
but the two most important things are find your community and find your farmer.”

Sometimes when I say Grace, I ask God to bless all those who had a hand in getting the food to my table. Thinking about this, I realize how many thousands of people are involved in our food system and how unnatural that is. A society requires balance between the local and the wider network. You can’t rely entirely on local, in the event that a disaster occurs. You also can’t rely entirely on complex systems which are by their nature, vulnerable (Martenson often talks about the unpredictable nature of complex systems and how disruptions can have a domino effect). All sorts of things can interrupt supply chains and recently, we are seeing more of that. The reasons are varied. With increasing geopolitical tensions, this is now an even greater concern. You may say (just an example), “Oh, we can get our food from California.” What about the trucks that need parts made in other countries? What if California suffers a major earthquake? There are so many things that can go wrong in our highly interdependent, fossil fuel dependent system. These natural resources are depleting, while population continues to grow and the non-Western world is starting to want its piece of the pie. Maybe we’re starting to hone in on why the globalists want their “Great Reset.” Is it all about resources?
Will green energy save the day? Well, it has its limitations. At this time, green is not even remotely capable of doing what oil, gas and coal can do, and is itself, dependent on these resources (see the work of another great mover and shaker SIMON MICHAUX). Perhaps a gradual transition to green is possible, but I don’t think it will be without concessions.
In the end, nature will have her way. In the end, the Authentic Life, the life God meant us to live, must return. This is His world and we are His children. As a society, we have a lot to think about going forward…and we need extremely competent leadership that is willing to make tough decisions.
"What Will Become of Us All?"
I would like to share this song by Chvrches (Scottish band), “Death Stranding,” released in 2019…arguably, the year the world began to change. It gives me hope that young people can still be so clued in and sensitive, even if it’s purely intuitive. The artists are always the prophets…
Let’s make a toast to the damned
Waiting for tomorrow
When we’re played out by the band
Drowning out our sorrows
What will become of us now, at the end of time?
We’ll be fine, you and I
Let’s draw a line in the sand
Keep it straight and narrow
We had it all in our hands
We begged and then we borrowed
What will become of us all at the end of love?
When we’ve stopped looking up?
You can take my heart
And hold it together as we fall apart
Maybe together we can make our mark in the stars, we embark
And keep us together as the lights go dark
Let’s tell the truth, just for once
Asking for an answer
Now that it’s all said and done
Nothing really matters
What will become of us all if we dare to dream?
At the end of the scene?
Let’s open up to the sky
Askin’ it for closure
'Least we can say that we tried
But it’s never really over
What will become of us all, at the end of the line?
Will we live? Will we die?
You can take my heart
And hold it together as we fall apart
Maybe together we can make our mark in the stars, we embark
And keep us together as the lights go dark
(Iain Andrew Cook, Martin Clifford Doherty, Lauren Eve Mayberry)
During These Tumultuous Times...
“…stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved…Rejoice in the Lord always, again, I say, rejoice…The Lord is nigh…in every thing, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God.
And the peace of God, which surpasseth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
…whatsoever things are true, whatsoever modest, whatsoever just, whatsoever holy, whatsoever lovely, whatsoever of good fame, if there be any virtue, if any praise of discipline, think on these things. The things which you have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these do ye, and the God of peace shall be with you. Now I rejoice in the Lord exceedingly…I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, to be content therewith…I can do all these things in him who strengtheneth me…Now to God and our Father be glory world without end. Amen…The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.”
Saint Paul to the Phillipians, Chapter 4

“Clarity comes from taking action…How much longer will you avoid doing what you are capable of, in order to continue with what you are comfortable doing?…we have two lives, that second one beginning the moment we appreciate we only have one.”

The End of the Dollar as the World's Reserve Currency? What They Said Could Never Happen....
I like Andy Schectman and I also like Kitco News. Here, Andy is interviewed by Michelle Makori. The Petrodollar deal which Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia is discussed, along with Nixon’s departure from gold-backing and the world’s current moving away from the dollar. There’s a one-hour video and a short article…
End of the Petrodollar?
Excerpts from the article:
Saudi Arabia reportedly let the 50-year petro-dollar agreement expire on June 9th, opting to sell oil in multiple currencies instead of exclusively using the U.S. dollar. Andy Schectman, President and Owner of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, warns that if the "petro" is taken from the "dollar," the U.S. currency will be backed by "nothing," which could trigger "catastrophic" consequences…
The foundation of the petrodollar system lies in a 1974 agreement between Saudi Arabia and the United States. Under this deal, Saudi Arabia agreed to recycle its petrodollars into U.S. Treasuries in exchange for a security guarantee from the U.S., creating a strategic alliance that has significantly influenced global politics for decades. By 1975, all OPEC members had agreed to price oil in dollars and invest in U.S. government debt…
If the U.S. dollar is no longer the primary payment option for oil, Schectman foresees a massive spike in interest rates as one of the consequences, with the situation getting quite chaotic for the U.S.
“If this happened all at once, it would be catastrophic. It would be chaotic because the natural reaction of the dollar being dumped globally is hyperinflation. It would hit our shores in a tsunami of inflation,” Schectman said. “The dollar would collapse, the stock market would collapse, the bond market would collapse, the banking system would collapse, the insurance companies would collapse. Everything. This is the great reset.”
…The move away from using the U.S. dollar in international trade transactions is not new, but it has been accelerating…
Caution with Generators
A generator is a prepper must-have, but they must be used with caution. Read your owner’s manual and make sure you know how to properly operate it in the event of a power outage. Don’t wait for the outage to occur. If you don’t know how to use your equipment (or where to find it), it’s not going to be very useful if you suddenly need it. Carbon Monoxide is an issue with gas-powered generators. Electrocution in flood water is also an issue…and always be careful venturing into your basement during flooding!
From The Epoch Times:
Hurricane Beryl Death Toll Rises to 7, Generator Misuse Is Blamed for 2 Deaths
Excerpt:
Mr. [Emergency Management Chief] Kidd said two of the deaths were caused by carbon monoxide poisoning, and he warned against mishandling gas-powered generators to power their homes. He reminded people that carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas.
“If you have a generator that you’re running, please make sure it is far away from the area [where] you’re living and sleeping,” he said.
“These are preventable deaths.”
Feasts of July
July began on the 1st with the celebration of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus. What better way to honor and offer reparation to Our Lord, than to recite the Litany of the Most Precious Blood (see previous post), in the coming weeks? Litanies are one of the treasures of our Catholic faith, that have gone out of use. It is a joy to pray them and we must all work to bring back these beautiful aspects of Catholicism for ourselves, our children, and the future.
Be the restoration you wish to see!
We honor Saint Maria Goretti, young Italian girl who died for purity, on the 6th and the 9th (new/trad). She was so quickly canonized, her own mother attended the ceremony in Rome.
We celebrate the holy life of Saint Benedict of Nursia, another Italian, on the 11th. He is well-known as the father of Western monasticism and the author of the Benedictine Rule, which spread throughout Europe (therefore he became the patron saint of Europe). Benedict left the sinful world to seclude himself in a rural area, much as some Catholic laity now are beginning to do. He believed in the self-sufficient community and wrote the principles upon which such communities would thrive. Also, he was known for invoking the Crucifix and performing many miracles. His medal is widely worn by the faithful and possesses indulgences. Benedict’s abbey at Monte Cassino still stands atop a tiered hill in the beautiful Italian countryside. His twin sister, Saint Scholastica, followed her brother in founding the Benedictine Order for women. Here are some prayers to Saint Benedict…you may also read further about the medal and even buy one at The Catholic Company…
Prayers to Saint Benedict of Nursia
This past weekend, at the Catholic Land Movement Conference, I was privileged to walk upon the ground of Saint Kateri Tekawitha’s birth, whom we honor on the 14th. This is also the holy ground, about 10 years before her birth, where Saint Isaac Jogues and his companions gave their lives for Christ. It was an extraordinary experience. Kateri is ever-present, in spirit and in statue form, at Our Lady of Martyrs Shrine, located in rural Auriesville, New York.
Our Lady of Mount Carmel’s feast is the 16th. She appeared to Saint Simon Stock, giving him the Brown Scapular. Our Lady of Fatima requested the wearing of this scapular. Also, at The Catholic Company, here is where you can buy the scapular, in addition to a booklet explaining investiture into this privileged service of Our Lady…

On this Independence Day, please pray for the United States of America, especially for the restoration of respect for all human life from conception to natural death. Pray the Laws of God will once again be honored and practiced in this once great country. Consider exercising penance today such as prayer, abstinence and fasting. Until we see a restoration in this nation, there is nothing to celebrate. The Covid disaster is proof we no longer have freedom. We are being invaded from without and from within, from all sides and in every possible way. Mourning is the only option….and don’t forget about the “X” Eclipse.
