Resources for organic farming, self-sufficiency, and
affordable, off-the-grid natural living.
This list will grow
over time as a natural/simple living resource. I only include
companies and sites here that are in line with Govardhan Gardens'
vision. Please let me know if you know of any additional good
resources, would like to trade links with us, or if any of these links
are broken. Thanks.

This documentary explains in detail how and why
our weather is being modified by geo-engineering.

This docu has become a classic: it
explains how the future of our food is being stolen by corporations
like Monsanto & Co, with the help of our Governments.

The full version of the documentary was shown
on Showtime. In summary, it explains
how and why Pat Tillman, a popular U.S. football player, who enlisted
in the U.S. army was used for propaganda purpose by the
army and eventually assassinated by them. The main reason for the assassination
- according to his parents who did painstaking research into his
death -was the threat he posed to expose the lie about "the
war on terror".

Iraq veterans publicly discard their
war medals and explain why.
5) RT.com
An exceptional news
broadcasting channel on mainstream U.S. TV, with above
mentioned web site. Frequent excellent analysis of the numerous atrocities committed by recent and current U.S.
administrations. The fact that the channel is not yet persecuted for its truthful broadcasting is
a surprise. Especially 'Breaking the Set' is often very candid and sheds
light on important issues that are purposefully avoided by mainstream
media.
I
hope that they will maintain their integrity and straight talk about
a system that is about to spiral out of control. The channel
is Russian sponsored which is not ideal but most of
the overall message is still incomparably better than any mainstream U.S. news
channel.
