My Music Video: eARThsong - about Growing Our Own Food in Chico, Living With Horses...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tERVWVZUNyw

This Song was written at a time that we were living in Chico, California and were surrounded by a corral with 4 horses. We were also growing many plants including Morning Glory Flowers that eventually got so tall that they climbed up to the roof of the little house. The tomato plants produced an abundance of food... quite a miracle... especially to eat them hot off the vine... the earth in Chico is dark black and fertile... 

(lyrics) Bm A D G Planting, planting, planting seeds D A D May our garden grow... Bm A D G May God bless the earth and rain D A D And sprout the seeds I sow D A D And sprout the seeds I sow CHORUS: G Bm We've been tilling soil since the dawn of time A E The fertile loam of home is nature most divine G Bm The lady with the hand upon the plow A E is identical, then and now Weeding, weeding, weeding weeds feed 'em to the horses may God bless the new-born foal and teach it natures forces and teach it natures forces Riding, riding, riding steeds just like long ago May God bless the hay they eat and set their eyes aglow and set their eyes aglow

Question from 2021:

I Wonder Why Fresh Water from The Sacramento River Flows into the Ocean? Why Not Use It To Water Crops? After All, The Colorado River is Pumped Dry... and That's a BIG River... It Dug the Grand Canyon... 

We are Having a Drought Here in California... This Water COULD be used to Grow Crops, Water Livestock, Take Showers or Make Ice Cubes for a Scotch on the Rocks... But NO... It Flows Out into The Ocean at San Francisco... 

Sacramento-river-Scottys-Chico-California-CA-vandergreg-gregvan

Many People say we Need to Provide a Lot of Cool Water for the Salmon to Swim in... I Wonder... What if We Cared More about Human Life than Fish? What if the Salmon All Died in the Sacramento River... They Still Have The Klamath and Columbia Rivers to Swim in... What if We Just Pumped the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers Dry and Spread all that water over Farmland in the Central Valley... A LOT Would Evaporate and Fall as Rain When It Reached the Sierra Nevada... In Effect RECYCLING The Water... and Allowing the Hydroelectric Power Plants to Generate Electricity... In My Area, SMUD Generates all Electricity Using Power Plants on the American River... But They Create NO Electricity Without Rain...

Sadly... The Klamath is a River is Having a Water Crisis too... It is Home to The YUROK and HOOPA Tribes. When I worked at the Welfare office in Eureka I Had a LOT Of Contact With People from those Tribes... They REALLY Understand The Salmon as They Have been Living in Harmony for a Thousand Years... The Fish have a FIVE Year Cycle and If One Year (like 2021) has a Massive Kill then The Total Population is Reduced by 20%... The Four Years of Salmon living in the Ocean are not Affected... 

We Had a Massive Kill During the Presidency of George Bush the Son... Same Problem... The Potato Farmers in Oregon wanted the Water for crops but the Fishermen wanted to Keep the Fish Alive... My Brother in Law is a Tourist Fly Fisherman who came out here from Delaware on Vacation specifically to Fish the Klamath and Trinity River... 

What Finally Happened was there was a Huge Loss of Money for the Motel Owners, Tour Guides and Restaurants who depend on the Salmon to Attract Tourists... about ten times the Increase in profit of the Potato Farmers...

WAS THE STORY OF A CROSS IN THE SKY FAKE MARKETING? Supposedly, Constantine Converted to Christianity in 312 AD and then Spread That Religion To Europe. However... There are No Christian Symbols on His Arch. The Monument Commemorating Victory in the Battle of Milvian's Bridge...

a Major Turning Point in his Life... and the History of Europe... 

Some People State that he Really Converted on his Deathbed... and didn't spread Christianity to Europe at all. SO... Who ACTUALLY Spread Christianity? and WHY?

Europe's Conversion from Paganism lead to the Building of the Catholic Church... Protestants, Lutherans... and the Spread of Christianity to North, Central and South America. 2.5 Billion People believe in Christ... 


Constantine the Great, was Roman emperor from AD 306 to 337. He was the first emperor to convert to Christianity.[h]


According to Christian chroniclers Eusebius of Caesarea and Lactantius, the battle marked the beginning of Constantine's conversion to Christianity. Eusebius of Caesarea recounts that Constantine and his soldiers had a vision sent by the Christian God. This was interpreted as a promise of victory. The Arch of Constantine, erected in celebration of the victory, certainly attributes Constantine's success to divine intervention; however, the monument does not display any overtly Christian symbolism. (and if he had ACTUALLY had a Vision during that battle, it would certainly appear in the Sculptures...)

Constantine's Vision of a Cross in the Sky during battle.


Emperor Constantine’s victory against Maxentius in 312 AD is commonly understood as the first battle under the banner of Christianity and seen as a major shift from its status as a persecuted religion of outlaws to the established power that would reign for over a millennia in the world. But is this really the case?
Emperor Constantine had a vision of a cross in the sky. This was interpreted by his advisors as a divine sign of good fortune in coming battle. The cross as a symbol of power in battle originated here. 
Until Constantine, bloodshed was not caused by Christians. The idea to shed blood in the name of Christ, in the sense to harm others, was alien and not supported by its founder — quite the contrary.
The Arch of Constantine is a triumphal arch in Rome dedicated to the emperor Constantine the Great. The arch was commissioned by the Roman Senate to commemorate Constantine's victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge in AD 312.

I emailed a Professor about this... and he said: 
Dear Mr Vanderlaan, 

I checked this out and it looks like you are absolutely right.  As you can imagine, I don’t write all of the texts we use for these films and as I am not personally an expert on Constantine’s reign (or his arch), I accepted a text provided by the broadcaster.  I don’t remember voicing this particular claim, but I do regret it.  I often have to wrestle with the other people involved in these productions over pieces of text that are poorly informed or expressed.  Television is a highly multiauthorial enterprise.  But rest assured, this was an innocent error, not a squalid attempt to deflect from the glory of Sol invictus.  

With all best wishes

Christopher Clark

Subject: The Story of Europe. Constantine Had NO Christian Symbols on his Arch.
 
Sadly, your Excellent TV Show is Factually Wrong.

I thought that it was Strange that you Stated that there WERE Christian Symbols on Constantine's Arch AND THEN INSTANTLY Changed the Subject Without ACTUALLY SHOWING ANY... 

Here are a Lot of Closeups of the Sculptures on Constantine's Arch... Nowhere are there any CROSSES... https://www.judaism-and-rome.org/arch-constantine

Constantine didn’t take sides about Christianity vs Paganism until the end of his life as he converted to Christianity on his deathbed... https://en.northleg.com/rome/sights/arch-of-constantine/curiosities/

Why did Constantine fail to put any "Christian" symbols on his arch? He had ten years to decide on his "famous" CHI-RO symbol that he "painted" on his soldiers shields, ten years before... https://www.quora.com/Why-did-Constantine-fail-to-put-any-Christian-symbols-on-his-arch-He-had-ten-years-to-decide-on-his-famous-CHI-RO-symbol-that-he-painted-on-his-soldiers-shields-ten-years-before?fbclid=IwAR26ephKPIgNGtEkT7C9rVFyi624VOwIPA93zlKaO1XNXIFEhEJtZPGIlHI

The Church of Rome claims a deathbed conversion for Constantine I the Great.

As we see in even modern times, Christians often make such dishonest claims: it’s easy to do and it impresses the credulous.

Constantine worshipped the divine sun, in the form of Sol Invictus. 
Sol Invictus ("Unconquered Sun"), sometimes simply known as Helios, was long considered to be the official sun god of the later Roman Empire

What is the main reason why fewer nuclear power plants are being built today compared to 40 years ago? Nuclear power plants have become too expensive to generate electricity at a reasonable cost. Which of the following accurately describes the use of fossil fuels for energy?

Humboldt Nuke Faces Dismantling By Jim Adams Twenty-two years after shutdown, PG&E’s Humboldt Bay Nuclear Power Plant may become the first commercial reactor to be dismantled or decommissioned in the US. A major project got underway in September as the 250 ft. tall concrete vent stack began to be demolished. The utility has also announced its intent to remove 390 spent (irradiated) fuel rods from the pool at the plant, and place them in on-site steel containers called dry casks. For more than a decade, Redwood Alliance has urged PG&E to take this action. This will keep our community safe and allow complete dismantling to take place. Four miles south of Eureka and adjacent to Humboldt Bay, the Humboldt nuke sits on top of and close to major earthquake faults. The Alliance has worked since 1978 to make sure that the nuclear plant, one of the oldest and dirtiest in the country, would never reopen and will be properly dismantled.


GREENWASHING - Examples of Corporations Publishing Advertisements That Make Them Look Like They are Doing Ecological Work while they are Actually Destroying The Environment.

Oil and Gas Corporations are spending millions of dollars on campaigns to fight climate regulations at the same time as touting their dedication to a low-carbon future, according to a joint analysis by the Guardian and InfluenceMap.
Their global PR campaigns on social media promote a commitment to a green, low-carbon future, but across the US in particular, specific local campaigns are obstructing tighter regulations on fossil fuel extraction.
In many cases, oil and gas companies are using direct advertising but some targeted lobbying appears to be more opaque. It is channelled through so called “community” groups – which are being funded by fossil fuel companies.

Truly Creepy TV Advertisements... Power Past Impossible Pro Oil Propaganda... Trying to sell the idea that burning Fossil Fuels is Wonderful...

It has become obvious that Renewable Energy is our future but... all those people employed in the Fossil Fuel Industry are fighting for their lives to keep the USA purchasing increasing quantities of Oil and Gas... Their jobs depend on a steady flow of oil out of the ground into refineries and into our gas tanks... and all that plastic crap that is polluting the planet... Plastic does not "go away" ever... and we already see giant swirls of floating plastic in the oceans... The People that are employed by Exxon, Shell, BP, Halliburton and Koch have vast pools of money that they are now using to buy advertising talent to convince you and I that it is "cool" to buy gas... and plastic...

an alternative to buying corporate crap is to simply reduce the amount you travel in a car... In my youth it was fashionable to drive all over the USA following The Grateful Dead (an American Rock Band)... really... people (including me) would drive 8 hours or more to attend yet another concert... I'm not making this up... Well, now days traveling places is not really needed anymore... We can travel using the internet to see what's happening on the other side of the planet... It's all this driving around that is causing Climate Change.

Of Course, we all have to drive to work every day... Unless we live close enough to the office to ride the bus... Twice in my lifetime I was able to ride the bus to work. San Jose has great bus/light rail service and so does Eureka, California. One advantage to riding the bus is that you meet people... and become friends with them. In my case I met some women on the bus. I like women and was glad to have their friendship. We would sit in the back and chat for a half an hour every workday. VERY Pleasant...

Quit buying Plastic Crap. I'll say it again... Quit buying Plastic Crap. Just look for an alternative... One thing that is absurd is all the plastic bottles for drinking water... why not drink the water right out of the tap? The answer is that often tap water is poisonous... Well, what we need to do as a society is clean up the water that comes into our homes... really... Remember that showering in poisonous water is as bad for your health as drinking fracked water... and a coke at Taco Bell comes in a plastic cup... why not a waxed paper cup?

another alternative action is to divest your stock market portfolio of oil and gas investments... Like we divested from tobacco companies... simply call your stockbroker and ask to switch ownership of stock from oil and gas to solar and wind... It's an investment strategy that will win in the long run.

https://www.desmogblog.com/2017/02/06/american-petroleum-institute-superbowl-ad-oil-power-past-impossible American Petroleum Institute Launches Pro-Oil Ad Campaign... In this latest case, the real question is why API decided to begin lobbying the public directly, rather than using its money and clout to influence politicians who actually create the laws and some of the regulations governing the oil and gas industry. The answer to that question is likely simple: The oil and gas industries are already maximizing the benefits they are receiving from elected leaders, and are now focusing on gaining public approval.
