Roger and Ann stopped by the other day to drop off eggs and pick up a flat of cabbage starts and 10-pounds of wheat berries. We got to visiting, and Roger said something that was both hilarious, and deeply illustrates the failure of forced segregation. Roger took a part-time job stocking shelves in the grocery department at the local Wal-mart to pay his property taxes. They own their property outright, living off-grid deep in the woods. If it weren't for land taxes, they'd be free to go about their lives.

We were talking about the time Roger got thrown in the brig when he was in the Navy. Apparently, some homosexual sub-mate made a pass at him. Roger was out of the brig before sailor boy was out of the hospital. (We've heard this story several times, but it never gets old. In fact, it is fabulous when he tells after we've been drinking his 500-mile mead.) Anyway, that's when I piped up with, "Hey, some things just don't go together."

"Yep," he says. "And another thing I've noticed is there's a Mexican aisle, an Asian aisle, but no European or African aisle. There should be a European aisle. Take ring bologna and sauerkraut. That's as ethnic as it gets." We all chuckled, but something set in sort of cockeyed in the back of my head. Why? Why would there be two distinctly ethnic food aisles, but no such distinction made between African and European foods? Why is acceptable to allow segregation of some races in the grocery aisles, while two most prominent ethnic groups in the US are European and African?It's obvious what is being communicated--Whites and Blacks share the same culture. But it's just not true, and we all know it. Some things just don't go together.

Without a doubt, this is a subliminal message beyond any mass media reach. It's embedded into everyone's daily life. Everyone's. It is mind control that even George Orwell couldn't have imagined. That's what we're up against. That's why it's important that we not shop in commercial grocery stores. Instead, shop at wholesale outlets, like Kitchen Kleen. Kitchen Kleen is a giant potato producer and processor. There's an outlet in Spooner, WI, that is opened from October-May. You have to buy at least 100 lbs., but a bunch of us go together and by nearly 500 lbs. We've gotten russets for as little as .25 a pound. There are other ways to buy bulk food. I'll share some later. For now, I think we should all be aware of how we're being controlled at the very basic level of our everyday existence.

And I wonder, if there were a  European aisle, what would be on the shelves?
