It’s a tough and dirty job. No doubt about it. Backbreaking, even exhausting at times. But, the rewards, well, they are too numerous to count and worthy of the time and trouble. Gardeners don’t sit idly by wishing a crop will produce. They meet challenges like boulders, thick roots, unpredictable weather, hardened soil that won’t accept seeds, and disruptive insects and animals with other ideas in mind. Much effort, so much effort is required but gardeners don’t give up.

I am a gardener and one of millions of Americans extremely concerned over the blight attacking America’s fertile grounds of free speech and thought — particularly Covid-19, election integrity, and censorship. This post is not about one party or the other winning. It’s about unearthing the truth to rescue our country, our values, and ourselves.

“We’re only asking to just show us a little transparency,” said former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who spoke outside the Supreme Court and later at Freedom Plaza yesterday. “Why not recount? Why not look at the signatures, Why not look inside these [voting] machines. Why not? What are they afraid of?”

I wholeheartedly agree. As previously stated, if Biden and legislators in the questionable states truly want a united country and if there is nothing to hide, then why refuse a thorough investigation?

When Weeds are Flowers and Flowers are Weeds
We are living in a time where good is now bad, and bad is now good:

• Sworn affidavits attesting to election fraud are discounted as non-credible evidence
• Hypocritical public officials abuse their power while pretending it’s for the public good
• Intentional censorship presents only one agenda as the news
• BLM proclaims black lives matter while doing nothing to stop blacks killing blacks
• Hollywood lives lavishly elite lives while demanding equality for the general population
• The Heroes Act benefits wealthy Democrats rather than people struggling to survive
• Ivermectin is proven by physicians to prevent contracting Covid-19 yet ignored

Burying the Truth
2020 is mired in confusion, anger and fear. Intentionally. No longer can one research Wikipedia for objective information. No longer can one rely on fact checkers for unbiased confirmation. Hidden agendas are seeded in messages from Big Tech, MSM (and governments). YouTube is banning videos on election fraud, and exposed propaganda on Twitter, FB and YouTube is rapidly disappearing. Censorship is exploding at an alarming rate.

Ninety percent of news outlets in the United States are controlled by just six corporations. They aren’t out to tell you the truth about what’s happening. They paint a picture of the world that they want you to see. Media shapes our perception of the world around us. If we don’t have an accurate source of information, we won’t have an accurate understanding of the world. – The Epoch Times

I hope this shakes you up enough to take action. To prevent losing complete independence and being corralled into totalitarian thought.

Clearing the Muddied Waters to See the Truth
How can one reveal the truth compacted far below the surface? God-given intelligence and common sense tools can unearth an upside down world.

Pioneers always have arrows in their backs. No different today when one side attempts to discredit the other with outright lies. As a student of the Tao and Qigong, I’m drawn to The Epoch Times. Of course, biased sources like Wikipedia and The New York Times will denigrate this newspaper which was created to provide uncensored and truthful reporting. The founders experienced censorship and control first hand since they are Chinese-Americans who fled the fear mongering and atheist Chinese Communist Party.

Determining the Health of the Soil
As soil Ph is important to gardeners in determining sour, sweet or neutral ground, the same holds true for determining an information source. The Epoch Times, for example, is often associated with Falun Gong. Fine with me since Falun Gong is based on truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance — qualities disallowed in Communism and missing in MSM today. To his credit, Falun Gong founder, Li Hongzhi, has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, and Sakharov Prize For Freedom of Thought. This speaks volumes to me.

Buddha Siddhartha Guatama Shakyamuni’s wisdom of over 2500 years ago is so apropos today:

“Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.”

Digging Below the Surface
Here’s a perfect example of why it’s critical to dig below the surface. A very worthy nonprofit dedicated to America and its values is considered a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) which in itself serves to undermine America. The SPLC not only refuses to name Antifa as a terrorist group, they condone their lawless actions of burning communities and assaulting innocent bystanders and police. So who is calling who hateful? Most everything now must be sifted through for doublespeak.

I could just as easily cite the ACLU and no doubt, countless other organizations (altruistic in name only) that are allowed to exist in our country while undermining it. Incredulously, the ACLU and BLM (a self-proclaimed Marxist organization) are suing the Trump Administration for violence against protestors…completely ignoring the fact the protestors (aka terrorists) were belligerent, throwing projectiles, spitting at law enforcement, and threatening those who do not support their agenda.

Get real. Peaceful protests are one thing. Violence and terrorism are something else. I love America but there are times our country is naive. If one doesn’t take the time to investigate the actions of these organizations, one would think they are pro-America when in fact they are not.

Millions of outraged Americans are protesting election fraud – peacefully. They are not burning down cities. They are not looting stores. They are not spitting on law enforcement or those who disagree. And MSM is either not reporting it or spinning it.

For the record, I don’t subscribe to organized religion but I am spiritual. I don’t agree with every belief by organized religion, but I stand on the side of God — not Communism, and I stand with other Americans who love this country.

Sometimes You First Have to Clear the Land (or Drain the Swamp)
I make the effort to listen and see with my own eyes, check various sources to decipher what I am being told versus what is real. Is the presenter rabidly shouting down to drown out any other opinions? Are they instilling fear? Are they calmly inviting an open exchange? Do their actions match the words? Are they casting blame for what they are guilty of themselves?

Sunshine, not Darkness, Helps the Garden Grow
Have you ever sincerely considered how much your freedom is worth? $1 – $5 – $50 – $100 – $1,000 — an hour, a day, a month, a year — a phone call, a letter, a post, visit to a legislator or protest — or let someone else do it? One Liberty Bell is down, will you allow the other to fall as well?

Digging deeper on Act for America reveals they are rooted in a deep love of our country. Here’s one of their latest efforts:

“Every day, more and more election fraud is exposed, of which the latest example is Atlanta’s security footage showing mysterious containers stuffed with thousands of pro-Biden ballots. We also know of votes cast by dead people, votes that were switched from Trump to Biden, individual voters who cast multiple votes, ballots with fraudulent dates, and so much more. That’s why every American needs to stand up and be heard right now! Simply click this link to make your voice heard — and share it with your family, friends, and everyone you know.
