The New New Mexico Strains


By Bill Gallagher
1175 Words


     Well, its finally here, the New New Mexico, as I wrote about when I got back to NM 2015, in this very blog.  I will tell you the truth, from what I see online, the New New Mexico is a whole lot like the New Texas, or the New California, or the New Massachusetts, and here is why: there are a limited number of things that can happen in the growing of modern marijuana, because there is a large number of growers, and a relatively limited number of strains, especially the "popular" strains that everybody wanted according to the fashion of the day.  
     So its relatively simple to see that recurring plant manifestations will happen, HAVE happened, and more often as time goes on.  Some people like to play with all that, others do not care as long as the seed is viable and produces smoke that is good enough for them.  These happenstance should also produce some interesting mutations in the future, hopefully something to facilitate real time travel, or maybe a biological ansible.  We'll see.  
     These new hybrid strains are very generalized hybrids, and many are quite transient, here for a generation then gone, never to be repeated.  These weird things come from second hand seeds mostly, the seeds of hermaphroditic pot which couldn't be sold at the dispensary.  Tendencies toward hermaphroditism are the product of feminising, and they become more prominent as time progresses.  I notice this about outdoor hermaphrodites: they are many times triggered into flowering as males because of stress, like hard weather.  Over pruning will do it too, except first harvest, before the second flowering.These genetic generalizations are produced over time from the strains which everybody initially bought because they thought it would be awesome, or would sell well, or both.  
     A lot of early seed buyers wanted blueberry, white widow, northern lights, diesels...the look good smell good flowers.   Because of female/hermaphroditic pollination among some of them, the seeds that come from these mixes will, down the line, and for awhile, have increasingly similar traits.       
     One such strain is being called "Puck Yeah" because its resin content is such it can easily be processed into more potent product (Pucks) by isolating the easily available resin powders.  It is very very bushy in leaves, and later, when it gets its growth and begins flowering, it benefits from regular pruning of the excess leaves.  When exposed to the sun the flowers grow faster bigger stronger.
     In the bunch of seed I got which may be around ten years old or older now, it was second generation from white widow, ny diesel, blueberri and some gs strains.  The government strains are almost viny in the way they grow, with thin thin leaves, and light wispy buds, sometimes very potent.  I can see the differences, and smell too, one smelled just like bubble gum, others have a diesel smell but berry flavored too.  There are lots of orange hairs when the buds cure, and there is one flavor I call night blooming jasmine, and another creme soda.  They are pleasant and different and smooth and powerful.
     This year began as another experimental year, year 7 of my outdoor growning odyssey, wondering if it is even possible to get a commercial grow going.  Some things have fallen together well, others not.   I still do not know about a commercial thing, but that is more based on legalities than the ability to grow, so there is positive movement at least.  
     I mixed a lot of last years soil with new from my 2 acres here, sandy as possible, along with new fillers and some composted produce.  Ground up styrofoam helps break up the adobe soil here which wants to be bricks.  Gravel works but of course is much heavier than styrofoam.  There is a lot of odd chemical content in the western fill dirts too, including plain salt, so it is good to study the soil you add to your grow very closely.
     Large styrofoam meat trays lining the inside of large pots are good insulation against excessive sun. Also the pads which wet things are packed on are full of polymers, and you know what they are if you ever bought them as a soil additive.  Cheap diapers use polymers too, and they are very available.  These type of pads can be processed for their polymers by soaking them new in buckets of water, they then break up easily and you can see the jelly like particles which make a good soil additive in most cases.
     I hit everything with dilute peroxide solution, like a quart of 3% to five gallons of water, when initially watering new soil, before the seeds.  I do that at later times too, twice during the season, with one half that amount of peroxide, a quart of 3% peroxide does 10-15 gallons of plain water.  The bubbling aerates the soil and the chemical action of the peroxide/heavy water as it degrades into plain water takes out any fungus growing in the soil.  It doesn't kill fungus spores though.  It does not hurt the plants at one pint of 3% per 5 gallon bucket of water, they seem to like it a lot.  I always smell the resin rise when I do this.  I would not do it often though.   As well, there was substantial rain this year, compared to the last two years, so that made some things better.  
     I tried to grow super roots this year and that worked out well.  DL noticed that if a seedling fell over for whatever reason, you could fill the cup with dirt until just the leaves showed, and all that flimsy stem would become root and the plant would usually do better than others.  I planted seedlings in 6 inches of dirt in pots 20 inches high, then, over the growing season, proceeded to fill the buckets slowly, a shovel or two a week, covering the lower stems and even the lower branches.  By time the plants starting flowering the roots were abnormally long and the plants were abnormally large because of this.  I used a little cheap nitrogen pellet fertilizer, along with sparing amounts of epsom salts/magnesium supplement at 3-4 months and the middle of flowering.  I learned you can soak multivitamins in water and there is a lot of exotic stuff which is useful in that water.  Test first, and don't overdo it, right?
     The first pruning took place when some of the plants were 5 months old, and had been flowering two months.  It was late summer.  They were pruned heavily, and many removed.  All the weed is very good, still curing.
     No longer are any of these the strains what they were in the beginning, everything is crossed with something and the plants are heavily feminised.  Certain traits are dominant, others recessive until another time I am sure.  The New New Mexico is Not Heinz 57, but gettin' there.

The One Percent Transaction Tax

By Bill Gallagher
600 Words



     During my twenties and thirties, way back in the 1980s and 90s, I lived in central Florida, and was very involved in the re-legalization of hemp.  I was networking and doing what I could for people I thought had a clue.  Somewhere in that time I met an older guy named Curtis Holmes, in Largo Florida.  Curtis had a newsletter and therefore an organization which he called The Taxpayers Association.  And Curtis had an idea.  He said that a 1% tax on all Transactions would generate, by far, more revenue than the income tax and all the other taxations we all endure continually.  He said the income tax and all the other fees and taxes were just control of a certain class of people here in the land of the supposedly free.  The tools to accomplish this 1% taxation scheme are already in place.  Problem is, this idea had some very high level resistance among a certain type of people, and those people can actually be identified by their resistance to this idea.  They are the minority of people who handle the majority of commerce.  They live in a tax free world and they created that world for themselves.  Curtis got even older and died, and that was the last I ever heard of that.  Some rich media monkeys like Forbes talked about a flat tax but they were talking 17% and up.  A friend of mine from Australia told me they have a flat tax of 25% there, or did at that time.

     Presumably those flat taxes are a single flat tax on income.  But all the other little taxes will be in place still.  The nut to crack is defining what is actually taxed, and how is the taxation burden spread among the mass?

     Curtis said NO EXEMPTS and only one kind of tax, a TRANSACTION tax of 1% paid by the buyer.  An employer buys the employees services, and pays 1% on all monetary transactions having to do with that employee.  Thats IT.  No more taxation other than that.  No more income tax.

    1%.

    Here is where some deductive thinking is necessary.  Its in the figuring of who actually pays the majority of the taxes right now.  That would be small business, workers, and consumers, in that order.  The larger the money the less taxes seem to be paid.  Sure, a lot of accountants are paid, but thats really a bunch of convoluted BS, and there is a lot of stealing and suffering going on in society because of it.  Glad handing and back slapping and standing in line at the bank, yup.  Another import from europe and it is basically an agenda to create a royal class in America with the paper currency.  Very unAmerican.

    1% Transaction Tax, NO EXEMPTS.  Not churches, not your granny.  No more tax exempt wholesale, ALL transactions, at all levels, the buyer pays 1% tax and thats it.  Food is not exempt, cars are not exempt, nothing is exempt, not corporations, or limited liability corporations, or money in the bahamas or panama or swiss land....nada.  A buyer of a shipload of goods pays 1%, so does a buyer of a pack of gum.  A buyer of electricity pays 1%, a buyer of communion wafers pays 1%. 

     When the government buys a jet or a ship, 1% of the price paid goes into the internal revenue coffers.  There are cost over runs much worse than that on a regular basis, usually paid, so 1% is nothing to cry and whine about.  A lot of the cost over runs in Government are built-in kickbacks by the way.   A bank provides a service to its customers, people are buying the banks services so there is 1% on those transactions too, stock trades and everything, all transactions are taxed at 1% and paid by the buyer.  AND NO OTHER TAXATION, PERIOD.

    It might help to think of this as a sales tax, even though it is a commerce tax, which is much more encompassing.  There is a mechanism by which sales tax is already collected, it is well established, except that 1% is ALL the tax that will be paid by any American, ever, and only when they buy something.  There will no longer be an income tax and the attendant administrative behemoth, no fishing license fees, no state taxes, no gas taxes, no drivers license fees, no nothing, only 1% on any transaction that occurs for any reason, NO EXEMPTS.

     This spreads the tax BURDEN across a much larger area, and could work for us instead of what we have which is a the greatest pork barrel that ever existed, working against most people 24/7.  The 1% transaction tax is the kind of thing you would expect from civilized people who employ real administrators to see after their affairs and not slick thugs.

Donny Chaotic

     Modern Politics should be considered thus: DC and AC.  To the unobservant that stands for During Crist and After Crist.  Even I became somewhat freaked out when Jeb started wearing his hair en pompadour, then Charlie Crist was fast tracked by the Republican party into the Florida governors office.  Crist had a lot of support from the gay sector, and heres what he really was:  A donkey in elephants clothing.  This changed many things in American politics, at a very fundamental level, and should be called The Strategy Of Poser Politics, whereby a person gets into power by whatever it takes, then has his or her way in spite of all thats been said before or what the party supposedly stands for.  Eyes become blind to many things and it basically sows a low grade though persistent confusion within all politics, the voting mass, and the media. 

     Florida is still reeling, especially the old bible thumpers, the few that are left.

     Donald Trump rides a surfboard named Chaos. The waves he rides are generated by a very real but covert civil war here in the good old USA, created outside America, over time, by Americas enemies.  The main weapon in this 2nd civil war is money, or, rather, denial of it.  Do a search on 'NRA Cuomo' to see the sparklers kiddies.  I told the NRA about this tactic over 20 years ago, they called me belligerent and paranoid.  I feel an F Bomb coming on.

     Our money is no longer a right, the right to commerce, it is now a benefit, and the issuers, world banks, continually redefine these benefits.  Needless to say, Americans are usually the losers.  Sullivan said our foreign policy has devolved into taking money from the poor people in this rich nation and giving it to rich people in poor nations.  Too true.  

     A precept of Modern Libertarian thought concerns dealing with these foreign agencies and their so-called most favored nations status.  America is our most favored nation, and until that is in order again the rest can just wait, or better yet, learn to take care of themselves.  Most of those banker scumbags will go find someone elses blood to suck, like the tobacco companies peddling ciggies in the third world because it finally became generally known here in the civilized world that tobacco is nothing so much as serial mass murder.  Capitalism my ass its a bunch of blue blood bullshit and drug dealing, special interest lawmaking and religious hoo-hah, insider trading and nepotism, favoritism and privilege, the ridiculous rich do not know commerce or anything like it, its a bunch of glad handing and self-titillation based on secrecy and ego.  The super traitor jorge bush made a lot of people rich in law enforcement because he was doing his best to internationalize it secretly; he has a big following because of that, he is god money to cops and mormons.  Being the cheap piece of shit he is means he is just trying to get the taxpayers to foot the bill for a police state and all his corporate law enforcement too.  Search "Bush Paraguay Ranch" and the USAFB which was built nearby it.  Homeland Security is nothing so much as "Protection" for the Cocaine Cartel.

     Also at the core of Libertarian thought, in the very front of it actually, is social security.  Its going to take a LOT of resources to bring America back to being a free land, with free ways of thinking -- to wrest people from the police state instituted by the world governments media, to re-train and re-enlighten Americans as to what American really means.  You are not your brothers keeper.  Lords and kings are bad for our way of life.  Reading is good, and on and on.  In spite of tv programming, most people are not doing bad things, and real violence is not hard to see if you are not dumb as shit.  It is most times alcohol related.  Arm yourself bunkie, it is the gift that makes you a free man, and keeps you that way. 

     This is not a place to be "Harvested" by little tin mafiaso and secret agent hix in need of making a bust.  This is AMERICA, and Americans are NOT to be policed.  Its time to find something else to watch on tv, and its time to find something else for the police types to do.  This has all been covered in this blog before.  Social security, which means a whole lot more than just chex in the mail, is top priority because the place is a wreck, we have been attacked over and over again and our land is in ruins, what you see around you is nothing more than the justice of faulty information, fake news.  Compare police and military expenditures against public welfare expenditures, the figures are overwhelming.

     The true plight of America is that we are hoodwinked.  The awful and untrue illusions of television have become the number one information source for many people, and we have been trained away from the real brutality of those who want to rule us.  History means nothing to most Americans, as they continually repeat mistakes that have been made many times before, like some pathetic piece of misfiring mechanism.  Yes, broken is what we are, do not doubt that.  It is not called Programming for nothing.

     Just the number of people failing to look up and see the new aerosol technologies deployed since 911 leads me to believe this attack is from MANY sectors at once, sparing no expense, and is being done very very slowly, encompassing many facets, including AMA medicine and media programming, who are of course in strict public denial about any of this.

     In the beginning I didn't like Donald Trump.  It was more than disaffection due to social class, it was pretty much total rebellion against what I considered monumental complacence by the political coke dealers, and true acts of treason by organized white collar crime in the American government. I could only see more of the same old same old being stridently presented by someone who once made a living in the awful illusions of TV media, and still collects 100 grand a year retirement from the actors union. 

     But then things changed. 

     Because I am very observant (In my own way) I saw The Presidents hand in events that weren't just fundamental changes, but also changes which directly affected me in a positive way, events like the Farm Bill which lifted the long standing ban on Hemp, and the restructuring of some laws concerning our waterways. The US Space Force and US Space Mining have been instituted which you better remember first and foremost when it comes to our social security.  Imagine 100 years of high paying jobs for all Americans, its not hard to do that if you try.  That is only a beginning. 

     I said hey, this guy is not really a politician!  Most importantly, it makes me know some people have been paying attention.  I am Glad.

     Also, the interests of many sinister forces within America itself have been attacked during Trumps time already, crime families who can never reveal how they really got all that money, because thats all top secret stuff (Not to mention bestial) or how their family records are either all destroyed or totally falsified.   A big Libertarian ideal is DISCLOSURE, we want to know what we paid for in the last 100 years, and its because of the crime families and their systematic removal of records in the archives that this needs to be addressed immediately.  Freedom of information doesn't get it, its a bad joke.

     I WILL SAY THIS AGAIN (SEE EARLIER BLOG POSTS) AND AS PLAINLY AS I CAN:  IF THE BORDER WALL IS NOT COMPLETED THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND ITS MINIONS IN WORLD GOVERNMENT WILL CAUSE A MAJOR CATASTROPHE WITH TESLA TECHNOLOGY AND CREATE MILLIONS OF DISPLACED HOMELESS REFUGEES TO INVADE UNDER DURESS.  I HAVE SEEN THE TMT TECTONIC TESTS ALREADY.  THE FIRST INVASION DID NOT TRANSPIRE AS THEY HAD HOPED, BUT THEY NEVER GIVE UP. WHY DO YOU THINK THEY ARE SO IRRESPONSIBLE ABOUT POPULATION CONTROL?  THEY NEED ALL THOSE INNOCENTS IN CASE A GREAT SACRIFICE IS REQUIRED.  WAKE UP.

     Mr. Trumps perfect irreverence concerning his favorite bible verse also made me realize he was not mind controlled by the lord, and I came away from that with appreciative laughter.   I then heard the queen really disliked The Donald and that cinched it, I said Trump is for me.  I am not a total fan by any means, and I don't have any money to give, but I have sincerely changed my way of thinking concerning Donald Trump.  He is more Libertarian in a realistic way than anyone I have seen yet, and my vote will reflect that. 

     To Hell With Chaos.

     Shoot the curl D.
