Family First

Our farm has been part of a two fold plan...
Be a model farm outreach project for the Honduran Campesinos that live in our area...
And provide food - steady income for my family and our Honduran Campesino associates...

Our Honduran model farm outreach plan has been stopped by the Honduran - American Combine who claim to represent the best interest of the Honduran people...
Reality is amigos...
No one wants a successful Honduran agriculture project...
Would cut into someone´s grain profits...
So my Campesino work is stopped at every chance...
The Honduran Campesinos in my area have lost faith I can bring change to their lives...


To date not a single Honduran agriculture engineer has kept their word to us...
Only one Honduran NGO rep did exactly what he said he was going to do...
Anibal Osorto Pinel...
From AHDESA...

Funding allocated for Honduran Campesinos is diverted to the pockets of the Honduran - American Combine...
The Honduran - American Combine force Hondurans to migrate to America to work as cheap labor...

Sure...
They show censored data where you see Honduran Campesinos working the fields...
Misinformation is presented to the world of what appears to be successful Honduran agriculture projects...
While you are looking left...
Millions of dollars of Honduran agriculture aid is going out the back door to the right...

There is no poverty in Honduras...
The imposed poverty is big business...

¨In particular, its recognition that poverty is not the problem, rather, lack of access to resources is the primary obstacle to building a better life for the majority of the worlds poor.¨
Combat Poverty

Misinformation is big business...
To have you cower in fear of a fabricated enemy is big business...
It is all about big business...
You are the cash cow who has been herded into their cow pastures...

It is rare to find a Honduran Campesino who will actually complete a Honduran agriculture project anymore...
Hondurans have been cultured to migrate to the United States...
Work as cheap labor...
Send money back home...
So their families can buy the Honduran - American Combine´s basic grains...

Another reality of the Honduran imposed poverty culture...
When you find help for those who claim to want to work...
They do not use the donated equipment...
A tortilla making machine that was donated to a women´s group I organized...
Has never been used...
Several women are mad at me cause I would not let them sell it...
Most Honduran Campesinos prefer to sell donated farm equipment...
Cause most Honduran agriculture projects fail due to corruption...
So Honduran Campesinos think they must get their fair share while they can...
Honduran politicians - NGO directors have taught the Honduran Campesino this...
While you are in power...
Take everything you can...

Finally...
Also angry with me lol...
And without instructing our Campesina women on how to grow vegetables...
DED PRORENA gave some 12 IDE irrigation systems to my same women´s group...
23 women are still waiting for their system...
Not that it would be missed anyway...
Just like the tortilla making machine...
Not a single irrigation system donated...
Has been used to grow veggies...

The Honduran - American Combine have done their job well...
Instead of Honduran Campesinos growing their own food...
Most stand in line to buy it at local markets...

As I have mentioned many times here at this blog...
Imposed poverty in Honduras...
Has created a conditioned society...
Who truly believe they are poor...

"If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed."
Adolf Hitler

By design...
Agriculture has been destroyed in Honduras...
So the Honduran - American Combine can import basic grains into Honduras...
Selling corn - rice - beans - wheat - soy bean - red meat and powdered milk to seven million plus Hondurans is big biz amigos...

I honored my word to the Honduran people...
I built the model farm as promised...
But the Honduran - American Combine who rule the Honduran people...
Do not want our farm to be successful for the Honduran Campesino...

We have stopped all joint venture Campesino projects as of a month ago...
Now we will work for our families...
My same Honduran Campesino men who have working with me will be the beneficiaries of our work...
We have been planning for this moment for some time...

We will allow our Honduran Campesino neighbors to visit our farm...
They can learn from our work...
Then they must apply the same ideas on their land...
No sweat...
No future...

The Honduran - American Combine have not stopped us entirely...
Only made us wiser..
Stronger...
We have a plan no Honduran - American Combine can stop...
We have returned to the land...
Our farm products - we sell on the streets of Catacamas...
We will be off the grid...
Dependent on no one...

From this day forward...
We will not discuss anymore what the Honduran - American Combine are doing...
Politics will not be discussed...
We will not give voice to those who enslave our societies...

This Blog will be a beacon of simple Appropriate Technology that will enable us to sustain our families...

We are looking at irrigation systems developed in Nicaragua...

I have left my Honduran gold fields...

My search for a higher conciousness must continue...
The blind I will leave behind...
To unite with those who can hear the voice...
Unite with those who see the reality of the world around us...
Societies have reached the tipping point...

Here we will introduce you to a world of freedom...
To have time to hug your precious family...

Man with nature...
Working together with his environment...
To live off the grid...

¨Life on the farm is good...
It is where mankind began...
It is where mankind will return...¨
Tomas

UPDATE Sunday November 14.2010

Someone sent me a biased comment stating Tomas the foreigner...
Is trying to change the very stable Honduran culture...
First...
This foreigner has three children who were born in Olancho...
My wife is a Olanchana...
Therefore my home is Honduras...
I will not teach my Honduran children to stand in a Honduran government - NGO food line to beg for food...
I will not send my Honduran children to work in the United States...
My Honduran children are learning to work their fertile Honduran farm land in order to provide for their needs...

Second...
Why are one million plus Hondurans working in the United States...
If they so love their Honduran culture...

Third...
There is no grassroots Honduran mestizo culture to speak of...
The Honduran culture I write of...
Are the Honduran Sustainable Famine Projects run by the Honduran - American Combine...

This Honduran - American Combine thread ends here...
