What’s up with the strange sounds?

We have become aware of a phenomenon where people all over the world are hearing eerie sounds.  When I watched the first youtube video, I believe of the sounds occurring in Ukraine, it reminded me of a reenactment in documentary of some settlers who heard a strange sound coming from a hole in the Earth.  At first we suspected that it was a hoax with world wide copycats, but with all of the local news coverage and huge number of videos of the phenomenon being posted, it is apparently really occurring.

So what could this be?  People are coming with all kinds of theories.  My theory is probably more bizarre than most, but this phenomenon reeks of Hollywood.  The sounds sound like the scariest sound that anyone could come up with.  And they’ve been used in all kinds of horror/sci-fi movies.  I think that the sounds are coming from sound cannons that have been provided for crowd control to many different local police.  The obvious question would be, “why?”  Perhaps a group of people would like to create an environment of fear so that they can control people.  It is an odd phenomenon, and that is my odd theory.

Here is a link to a video compilation of just a few of the sounds:  http://www.youtube.com/user/dutchsinse#p/search/0/GZ2ZcmMxehk

Here is a site dedicated to the phenomenon: http://strangesoundsinthesky.com/

Here is a map where people can add their experience: http://seektress.com/ssounds.htm

 

Update:  http://forum.davidicke.com/showthread.php?t=199515  Apparently some Russian scientists were able to analyze these sounds and they are real and natural.  That’s probably not a good thing and could be a precursor to some more significant geological events.

Merry Christmas!

We had a great Christmas.  Here are some family photos and some of the mini wind storm that blew our elm tree onto the barn roof.  The storm only lasted 10 minutes or so, but Billy estimated that it gusted to about 60 mph.!

Another new baby boy!

On Friday Marilyn and I were in the kitchen making wreaths when I heard an unusual “moo” over the camera in the barn.  When I went out there, Miss Moon was giving birth, even though I’d ascertained that she wasn’t in labor when I went out a few hours earlier.  The little boy appeared fully within minutes and was up and nursing in record time.  He is a Dexter and he and his Mom belong to some friends.  Miss Moon has easily agreed to be milked by us, so she’ll be going back to her own home soon.  In the meantime little Fireball has been out with Dhana and Torus.

The Self Reliant Project at New Nandagram

The Self Reliant Community Project of East Lewis County

First Meeting: Wednesday, January 18, 2012 at 6:30 pm.

151 Anderson Rd. Glenoma WA

360-496-0058

Billy and Anuttama Budd are happy to announce their successful relocation to East Lewis County.  We’ve named our new farm “New Nandagram” (pronounced new non-duh-grom).  It is the former Rainey Valley Farm located in Glenoma, 14 acres of pasture, barns, a covered arena, other buildings and a house.  We will be continuing our project which we did in conjunction with the Self Reliant Community in Graham where we explore all kinds of aspects for living locally and self reliantly including:

• growing, processing and preserving our food without depending on petroleum driven machinery
•  bee keeping
• using alternative energy (solar food dehydrators, wind generators, solar collectors etc.)
• building energy passive buildings using locally available materials (cordwood construction, timber framing etc.)
• permaculture
• exploring using natural remedies for curing physical ailments (herbal medicine, colloidal silver, acupressure, urine therapy etc.)
• using animal power to farm (oxen, draft horses)
• growing, harvesting and processing food grains including wheat, oats, barley and buckwheat
• home dairying including cheese making
• using alternative forms of currency including barter, life dollars etc.
• becoming conscious of God

We currently have a milk cow, an ox, 9 slug-eating drakes, two bantam hens (including the great mommy, Margaret Scratcher), two dogs, three cats, racing pigeons and two horses.  We also have been collecting manually operated machinery for a working farm including a petal operated wheat thresher, hand scythes, an ox cart and hand wood working tools.  We also have a petal operated dehuller scheduled to arrive this month.

We expect to soon be able to offer classes including cheese-making, woodworking, grain growing, food preservation and basket weaving in the near future. 

Because we benefited so much from the community involvement with the Self Reliant Community of Graham, we will also be starting a Self Reliant Community of East Lewis County with the first meeting being held at our farm, 151 Anderson Rd., Glenoma on Wednesday January 18, 2012 at 6:30 pm. and continuing on the third Wednesday of the month thereafter.  For more information please call: Billy and Anuttama Budd 360-496-0058 

New Family Members!

The Budds have welcomed little Torus who was born early Wednesday morning.  Mother and son are doing well and we’re expecting to have lots of dairy products to once again share with friends.  We also picked up Rain, Torus’ grandma who was unexpectedly offered to us by the Pioneer Farm Museum that used to employ her as a cow for children to milk.  Here are some pictures of our new family members, taken in the barn due to the fact that we’re being inundated with rain:

Little Torus is a good eater

Rain is the mother of Dhana and Makani (our ox) the the grandma (oma) to little Torus

The word “torus” describes an energy field, shaped something like a doughnut that surrounds many things in nature such as planets, galaxies, atoms and even living beings.  I just watched a documentary that makes connections with the torus to seemingly unrelated ideas such as free energy, crop circles, UFOs, world hunger, chemtrails, wars, health and happiness.  The good thing about the documentary is that it gives some realistic solutions to the problems facing us.  It can be seen at: http://krishnascience.info/THRIVE.html  I highly recommend it.

Good video about why democracy doesn’t work

My spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada, said that democracy means that the “demons are crazy” and explained that democracy simply doesn’t work.  This video explains how our founding fathers made an effort to avoid a democracy for the United States:
