APPENDIX VIII-1: Description of BRCA\Hope LA-USA Project: “Planting Seeds
of Hope in Our Inner Cities” By Anna Bond

When, people are starving,

it is because their governments take too much,
Causing them to starve.
When people are hard to control,
it is because of the contrivances of their governments,
Which makes them hard to control. When people think little of death.
it is because those above think so much of life thus the
people think little of death.

—Lao-Tzu: Tao Te Ching

The CIA-Contra-Cocaine connection exposed by San Jose Mercury News’ reporter

Gary Webb should not have shocked us as it did. Drugs, weapons and money-
laundering have always been tools of the trade for U.S. clandestine operations
abroad. This most recent “dark alliance,” as Webb termed it, is simply another
episode in the long saga of American trade in drugs, guns, dollars, and human life—
only this time the life that trafficking victimized was African-American inner city youth.

From all appearances, it was targeted genocide. But what goes around comes around,
and a short twenty-two years after crack cocaine made its first documented
appearance in California, we have small Vermont towns with nothing that could even
be called a street hosting street gangs and crack cocaine.

Somehow the pipeline between Columbia’s cocaine cartels and the black
neighborhoods of South Central L.A. opened by CIA-backed Contras and Nicaraguan
drug-smugglers recalls the infamous Triangle Trade, which laid the foundations for the
fortunes of the future leaders of the United States.

Here the commodities are cocaine, crack and guns. There they were sugar, rum and
slaves. Then and now, we see mindless destruction of human life and soils, mere
means toward the acquisition of wealth and the control of the people by a powerful
elite.

In the late eighteenth century, ships left New England loaded mostly with rum. In Africa
the rum was exchanged for as many slaves as it would buy (often at the rate of 200
gallons per slave). Loaded with slaves, the ship set sail for the West Indies where the
slaves were sold to the sugar plantations and part of the profit invested in molasses.
On the final leg of the voyage, the vessel would carry the molasses back to New
England, to be distilled into more run, to buy more slaves. 1

How much is a human life worth? Two hundred gallons of rum: absolutely equal for
the purposes of trade! The damage to human society in Africa and the Caribbean as
well as the soil destruction on the sugar plantations was never taken into account.

APPENDIX VIII_2: Description of BRCA\Hope LA-USA Project: “Planting Seeds
of Hope in Our Inner Cities” By Anna Bond

In addition to the profits from the basic Triangle Trade, the American colonies supplied
food staples for feeding the sugar plantation slaves. In 1770, for instance, the colonies
exported to the Caribbean one third of their dried fish, almost all of their pickled fish,
most of their oats, corn, peas and beans as well as half their flour and all their butter
and cheese. 2

Ultimately, the Triangle Trade like the current Dark Alliance reveals an insidious mind
set that treats everything—top soils, sugarcane, coca leaves, human life—as
commodities or substances to be trafficked. 3 Using things as substances—rather than
respecting their inherent value—invariably leads to addiction. Addiction to gold and
sliver, addiction to sugar, addiction to alcohol and drugs: these were—Ad continue to
be—the driving forces behind the exploitation of resources—be they natural or
human—in the New World as well as the modes operandi behind American trade’
relations.

Eventually even money loses relevance as the trafficking takes on a life of its own.
During the heyday of the CIA-contra-cocaine connection, between the passage and
repeal of the Boland Amendment, in 1986, every market indicator of the cocaine glut
in America went off-scale. As Wanda Palacio, the Puerto Rican-born airline employee
whose two-year cocaine trafficking career spanned her relationship with an upper-
class Colombian whose social circle included “people deeply involved in the drug
trade,” astutely observed in 1987: “Three years ago [before Boland], the price of
cocaine was $50,000 per kilo. Today it is $20,000 and sometimes you can get it for
$15,000 to $18,000. The market for the cocaine isn’t smaller—so the lower price is a
result of having supply increase even more than demand has. 4

“It got to the point where it was like, man, use don t want to count no more money.”
— Freeway Rick Ross

Rick Ross, a black teenager, was a talented tennis player with a promising future. Then
his tennis coach discovered Rick could neither read nor write. Rick saw his dream of a
college scholarship evaporate, which leads to some pointed questions. Would the
coach of a white teenager have been unaware until the last lap that his student was
illiterate? Having lost his one chance for a better life, Ross hung his future on drugs
and became Freeway Rick, a dealer of mythical proportions in the L.A. underground.
later sentenced to life with no chance for parole on cocaine conspiracy charges.

3 Smoking tobacco in a ceremonial pipe was for Native Americans life-enhancing as it strengthened
human relationships with the powers of the sky and the earth and all their relations. Europeans turned
the sacred Native tobacco into another substance to be mono-cropped on plantations and sold to an
addicted world. Andean natives living and working at high attitudes have chewed coca leaves for

APPENDIX VIII_3: Description of BRCA\Hope LA-USA Project: “Planting Seeds
of Hope in Our Inner Cities” By Anna Bond

Freeway Rick’s story epitomizes the three-pronged plight of inner city youth. First, there
is epidemic subclinical malnutrition stemming from poverty, lack of nutritional awareness,
the proliferation of junk foods and drugs. Fast food franchises dot black neighborhoods
everywhere—serving up their brand of super-refined, nutritionally empty foods devoid of
any real identity no trace minerals, no vitamins, no essential oils, no DNA to connect us
to the earth and the soil. These are foods that enslave us and addict us: white sugar,
white flour, white bread, white fat, white salt, white crack.

Poor nutrition means your brain doesn’t work well, remember things, make appropriate
decisions. After seven generations of eating such food, we have lost our memory of who
we are, where we came from and where we are going. No wonder the infant mortality
rate in South Central rivals that of some Third World countries. Taoist Sage and social
commentator Lao-Tzu, writing over 2500 years ago, says it best: how can you really care
about life or death when you’re starving? “Thinking little about death," many people turn
to the euphoria of drugs.

The second handicap impacting inner city youth is the lack of opportunities and options
that comes with widespread poverty. There is virtually no chance to find a decent job, let
alone meaningful work. Poverty gives you no options to switch schools, get special
tutoring. Poverty leads to crime. Rick Ross grew up poor in Troup, Texas, then moved to
South Central L.A., where he slipped into a career of drug dealing. When you don’t know
where your next meal’s coming from, you think little of death—or life.

And third, we see clearly unequal education or, more accurately, blatant miseducaflon
both in the schools and in the media That miseducation breeds cultural, ethnic and racial
discrimination. When you see yourself as lesser, then you have adopted somebody
else’s image of who you are. Not knowing who you really are makes it tough to be
yourself or control yourself.

While most of the country is talking about accountability, people’s tribunals, justice,
restitution and compensation, one visionary African American activist is transforming
inner city hood areas into lush market gardens that incorporate pre-dynastic Egyptian
blo-intensive deep bed agricultural technology, intercropped ‘floating’ gardens
reminiscent of pre-Columbian Mexico, and three-tiered permacultured beds.

He is George Singleton: radical in the sense of going to the roots of the disease that
perpetuates slavery. And those roots are the three pronged plight that is crippling our
inner city youth: 1) the poverty/crime connection, 2) the subclinical malnutrition/addictions
syndrome and 3) the vicious miseducation/discrimination cycle.

In 1974, the year crack cocaine made its first appearance, underground in San Francisco
and Nicaraguan drug smugglers hooked up with Colombian drug sellers, George broke
new ground for his first Blacqendian (Black and Indian) rural development cooperative in
the Washington DC area. Soon afterward, George was recognized by Navajo leaders as
the one who had been prophesied to teach them the old ways of gardening. He lived and
studied with his the Navajo elders for seven years

of Hope in Our Inner Cities” By Anna Bond

In 1981, just two years before Freeway Rick figured out how to blow up one kilo of
cocaine into three or more of crack, the executive members of Louis Farrakan’s (Black
Muslim) Temple 27 brought George from the Navajo Reservation to Los Angeles to
design nutritional programs and gardens for their congregation of 2500.

From his intensive study of the Annu/Egyptian Mystery School practices, George
helped the congregation align their diet to be harmony with the vegetarian ideals of
Elijah Mohammed. Synthesizing what had been revealed to him among the Navajo
and what he had earned from his Egyptian research, George developed an intensive
biological gardening technology.

By 1 985, that technology had produced a garden on the temple rooftop that provided
food for the entire congregation. Biological gardening is distinct from—and more
universally practicable than—organic in that it does not depend on animal manures
with their questionable microbial contaminants (E. coil) and agrochemical pollutants
(herbicides, fungicides and pesticides used in animal fodder).

Where organic animal-based comporting demands high-temperature bacterial

breakdown, large quantities of water and frequent labor intensive turning, biological
gardening relies on low-temperature bacteria! recycling of green wastes and, above
all, that “foundation of all civilization” (ecologist Andre Voisin) the earthworm, who
since before the time of Christ has been revered and protected as “sacred"
(Cleopatra). Earthworm castings create a humus topsoil of the highest fertility, filth
and biological vitality more efficiently than any other means. Biological gardening is
the gardening method practiced historically in Meso-America by the Mayans and
Olmecs and continuing into the present in the Nile Valley, the headwaters of the
Amazon in Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru; and in Hunzaland.

Recognizing the intrinsic connection between a people’s culture and agriculture,

George developed a powerful urban agri-forestry model—now called Hope LA\USA—
based on the need to break away from anima!-based farming with its inherent limited-
resources, scarcity mind set that inevitably breeds struggle and conflict. He also
developed this three-pronged mode! to provide simple, sustainable solutions to each of
the three handicaps that paralyze the majority of our youth at risk today.

In 1987 the cocaine-rated deaths of two B!ack athletes prompted national hysteria
and tough new crack laws that impacted U. S. Blacks with extreme inequality. The
U.S. Congress voted to give the Contras $100 million in military aid. Danilo Blandon,
son of wealthy Nicaraguan slumlord and Ross drug connection, was arrested, then
released only a month later when the Iran-Contra scandal broke.

That same year a prominent South Central resident and social psychologist urged
George to offer his genius and charisma to address the genocidal explosion of gang
violence and crack use among youth at risk. From his years among the Navajo,
George knew the extraordinary healing power gardening he’d for youth out of touch
with nature and themselves.

of Hope in Our Inner Cities” By Anna Bond

A quarter-acre biological garden at the famous Children’s Space Educational

Center in Compton was succeeded by pilot biological gardens all over Los Angeles
County. George’s striking dreadlocked figure—shouldering forks, shovels, pickaxes,
even sacks of peat moss and earthworms to sites sometimes 20 miles apart—
became a familiar presence.

The super tree, the tissue-cultured Chinese Paulownia hardwood, shoots up 15 feet
per year under ideal conditions and is valued at $1000 per cubic meter of timber!
Aside from providing organic produce to the neighborhood, the Hope LA garden
expanded the greening area in the midst of South Central’s asphalt battleground, It
offered the youth involved the time and place to reconnect with nature, with the
source of their food and with themselves.

George developed a brilliant sustainable life science curriculum that was at once a
nonlinear education program that looked deeply at the political, economic and
nutritional aspects of what has been called the “criminalization" of inner city life
around the world and a hands-on apprenticeship in the high art and science of
biological gardening which, at the close of the two-year program, gave the youth
solid marketable horticultural skills.

Then in 1993 came perhaps the most potent agent for regenerating these youths’
malnourished bodies and drug-toxic immune systems. George started feeding
Super Blue Green Algae, a wild super food harvested Klamath Lake, to the youth
he was training. The changes were dramatic! Caseworkers observed better over-all
health, improved school and work performance, greater clarity of thought and
expression, sounder sleep, and a sense of new found joy and cooperation where
before there had been apathy and distrust.

George’s Project in South Central was so successful he was invited to teach 160
third time offenders aged 14-19 in a youth detention facility in San Fernando Valley.
Dispensing the daily Super Blue Green Algae to these youth, the Charge Nurse
was enthusiastic about the potential of this wild super food. Her observations
demonstrated not only the undeniable connection between poor nutrition and
criminal behavior but also the incredible ability to restore vibrant health, strong
immune response and a sense of bright hope simply eating this wild Algae could
offer.

Almost four years later, George’s gardening model has evolved to integrate the
deep beds with greenhouse covered algae ponds that provide abundant algae
fertilizer and create microclimates outdoors—a novel concept indeed. George
travels across the country to inner city neighborhoods, prisons, schools,
reservations that ask for his expertise and his wisdom. He has projects at various
stages of completion in over twenty states across the country.

Wherever he goes, George offers the gift of his technology of hope freely, without
charge. His Hope LA/USA garden projects are funded through his Super Blue
Green Algae network business and the sale of his videos, tapes and book.

Providing Super Blue Green Algae to gang and at risk youth, caseworkers noticed
many changes: in patterns of increased sleep, awakening with vitatity, clearness of
thought, improved schoot and work performance, and a sense of new found hope. The
Project in South Centrat was so successfut that George was contracted to teach his
program at the Camp Holton youth detention facility in San Fernando Vatley. This
facitity housed 160 third time offenders aged 14 to 19, sixty percent of whom were
Hispanic and African American from South Central.

For a two-month period, youth participating in the Camp Hotton ‘Brown Thumb Green
Thumb Program" received Super Blue Green Algae. dispensed daily by the Camp’s
charge nurse. Her observations clearly demonstrated the connection beiween poor
nutrition and criminal behavior.

Today George’s gardening model has evolved to integrate the deep beds with
greenhouse covered algae ponds that provide abundant algae fertilizer and create
microclimates outdoors—a novel concept indeed. George travels across the country to
inner city neighborhoods, prisons, schools, reservations that ask for his expertise and
his wisdom.

The success of this program in Los Angeles led to changes in the funding
strategy. The program addressed the needs of inner city people across the
country. Thus, in September, 1995 the HOPE L.A. Project became the HOPE
LA\USA Project, initiating the development of Sustainable Agri-Forests in 25
states.

The Project’s current Sustainable Agri-Forestry model encompasses ten

interrelated aspects:

1. Spiritual Economics
2. Sustainable Life Science Curriculum
3. Intensive Vermiculture
4. Deep Intensive Growing Beds
5. Biological Horticulture
6. Three-tier Permaculture
7. Biological Aqua-Culture

Paulownia “Super Tree” SAF in the Peoples’ Republic of China

George W. Singleton has been Executive Project Director of the Blacqendian Royal Coop
Association (BCRA), Inc. since 1980. He received a B.A. in General Biology from the
University of Chicago (1970) and a Doctor of Herbology (HD.) Degree from the LA, CA.
based International Monastery: University of Eternal Light Consciousness (1986)
under the apprenticeship direction of Alfred “Dr. Roots” Patterson, HD..

Since 1979 Singleton has directed chronic poverty abatement research, development and
demonstrations concentrating on ancient Egyptian culture and technologies including 3
federal grants. From 1988 to 1995 Singleton was the Volunteer Horticultural Instructor at
the Los Angeles, CA. John Hope Continuation High School. His work is highlighted by
the USDA/ Forest Service Grant #92-LA-5 funding of the BRCA/Hope LA Horticultural
Corps from 1992 to 1995 demonstrating Sustainable Agri-Forestry (SAF) utilizing South
Central-Watts, LA gang and “at risk” youth and young adults.

Singleton adapted SAF to address the present problems in the present urban community
garden movement; i.e. as the basis of the next generation of urban community gardens
capable of producing the horticultural assets to purchase its land sites and provide
significant livable wage jobs. The holistic 12 element SAF model annually can generate on
one (1) acre of land minimally 150,000 pounds of “organic” produce and other horticultural
products and providing 4 full time jobs at twice the minimal wage as training stipend .

Sustainable Agri-Forestry (SAF) as exemplified in ancient Egypt, ancient Israel and pre-
Columbian Mexico, Peru and North America can significantly ameliorate chronic poverty
wherever properly installed at a one time cost of $85,000 per acre and operated on a
“worker member” cooperative model. SAF is a technological forte in the modern Republic
of China and a foundation of its emerging super power economy.

Since 1995 Singleton has transferred SAF technology and demonstrations to organizations
in over 13 states via the BRCA/Hope LA-USA Project (HLAUSAP), Inc. The SAF model
was certified for federal funding eligibility in the USDOL Welfare to Work Competitive
Grant Competition 1999 Round #3 in CA., AZ., CT., NY., TN. and the Navajo/Dine’
Indian Nation. Singleton presented the SAF model to the 1997 State of the World
Forum/Sustainable Agriculture Roundtable, and is State of the World Forum Member
#20827 (presented at http:\\www.worldforum.org.)

“Of course Cell Tech needs to do a lot more. Our focus in the market is very
narrow at this point, really. We have more than 30,000 distributors, but that’s a
speck of dust on the planet. They’re nearly all white; socially conscious for the
most part yes, but what you’ve got to do is reach a much wider group.”

“And Cell Tech is starting to do just that. About a thousand miles south of
Klamath Falls, a group of people are working on another agricultural project
under very different circumstances. The story is best told by Cell Tech distributor
Michael Stewart.”

“When Cell Tech decided to earmark ten percent of the algae to worthwhile
causes, I was more convinced than ever that this was a company I could work
with. Its involvement with Chernobyl, Nicaragua, and the Seeing Eye Dog pro-
gram in Canada touched my heart, but left me with a gnawing question about our
kids—-especially the inner-city kids who tend to reach for a spray paint can or a
gun, and join a gang before they reach for a book. I felt that if these kids had
more choices, they could be an asset to themselves and their community.

“Only one problem: How could I help this come about without getting shot?
Frankly, 14-year-olds with crack and guns scare the hell out of me. I’d lie awake
at night wondering, ‘How can I affect our weakest link ___ how can I help inner-
city kids?’ ‘Cause I’m white and I don’t live in South Central.”

“Several months ago, at an algae meeting at a local restaurant, one of the gals in
my group mentioned a guy named George Singleton, who runs a program
called Hope L.A. Horticulture Corps. Hope L.A. takes kids who are ready to
make positive changes in their lives and teaches them about pride, self-worth,
heritage, empowerment and especially how to grow gardens. She said they have
a two-acre plot in the hood, a non-truce gang area where drive-by shootings
occur almost daily.”

“Gardens! That was the end of the meeting for me—that’s all I needed to hear. I
went from A to Z in my mind; I had a touchdown right there. I said, ‘Give me this
guy’s number.
“Michael was impressed with George Singleton, an African-American and
Mississippi Choctaw whose personal philosophy is a distillation of Rastafarian,
Black Muslim, Baptist, and Bahai faiths. Singleton’s program is preparing the
kids for entry-level jobs in the agriculture and food industries, urban forestry,
nurseries, gardens and landscaping services.”

“When I first went up there and hung out with these kids, I felt as though I wasn’t
even worthy to be there with them. Even though I live a fairly clean life, these
kids are clear as glass. You look in their eyes, and you look into the soul of God.
These guys are deep; it’s unreal. They’re close to death on a daily basis; ten
shots have been fired into the garden at the kids so far. I mean, they have to
have truces just to exist. They have to have a truce with the Crips and the
Bloods— and that doesn’t account for all the sub-groups. When I leave, I get
swamped by crack salesmen; it’s a zoo there. Every time I go up there I cry.
These kids needed the algae yesterday.”

“Michael told me he learned that Singleton had started a program for inner-city,
ex-gang kids at Fremont High in Watts. “And I realized we’d come full circle,”
says Michael, “because Daryl used to teach at Fremont High.”

“So I hammered out a little proposal for Marta to get algae to the kids, and she
immediately said yes.” Soon shipments were on the way.”

“So do the kids eat the algae regularly?” I asked.”

“Are you kidding? It’s like a sacrament!” He paused. “My dream now,” he
continued, “is to get the soil amendment [an algae processing by-product being
developed by Jim Carpenter] down here to fortify the weak L.A. soil.” Michael is
pleased with the project so far. “If we can do it in L.A.”, he told me, “we can do it
anywhere.”

“Then just before he hung up the phone, Michael Stewart added this postscript.
“You know, the interesting thing is, a bunch of these kids are looking to do the
Cell Tech business when they finish school.”
