Today the Garden of Eden in Lucas is considered one of the best grassroots arts sites
in the United States. Newspaper articles of the 1920s and 1930s refer to creator Samuel P. Dinsmoor as the “Second Adam.” A retired schoolteacher and farmer, as well as a disabled Civil War veteran, Dinsmoor spent the last 25 years of his life constructing what he called “the most unique home, for living or dead, on earth.”
In 1907 Dinsmoore built his “cabin home” in the small central Kansas community of Lucas. Using 113 tons of cement, Dinsmoor went on to create the “Garden of Eden,” depicting in sculpture his interpretation of the Bible and modern civilization as
interpreted through his populist views.
The information available concerning Dinsmoor’s early life is at best sketchy.
We know he was born near Coolville, Ohio, on March 8, 1843. He served in the Union army during the Civil War observing 18 major battles, including the Battle of Gettysburg and the capture of Robert E. Lee. He taught school for five years in Illinois. On August 24, 1870, he married Mrs. Frances. A. (Barlow) Journey, a widow of considerable means.
At some point in time Dinsmoor took up farming, moving to Kansas in the fall of 1888.
For some unrecorded reason he moved to Nebraska in the fall of 1890 only to return to Russell County, Kansas the following year.
In 1905 he retired and moved his family into town buying the quarter block in Lucas that was to become the “Garden of Eden.” In the spring of 1917, the first Mrs. Dinsmoor died. Alone and deeply involved in the construction of the “Garden,” Dinsmoor hired a young Czechoslovakian woman named Emilie Brozek as a housekeeper. When Emilie was twenty years old, she married Dinsmoor, who was then 81. The marriage produced two children.
Although neither an architect nor an engineer, at age 64 Samuel P. Dinsmoor built his “cabin home.” The home itself is quite remarkable, built like a log cabin out of native limestone. With the completion of the “cabin home,” Dinsmoor set about to create the intertwining concrete sculptures that became his “Garden of Eden.”
He erected scaffolding and worked alone, hiring an assistant only to mix cement.
He wanted the “Garden” to be durable, so he began with steel reinforcements covered with chicken wire. The entire sculpture, which consists of more than 150 statues supported by 29 cement trees, stands approximately 40 feet high. On the west side Dinsmoor depicted his personal understanding of the Bible. The north side of the property tells the story of modern civilization. To further explain his views, Dinsmoor published a small guidebook called.

He served in the Civil War as a nurse in the Union Army. After the war, Dinsmoor returned to Ohio and soon joined the Masonic Lodge. Joining this organization was a significant development in his philosophical outlook on life. He had grown up in a very religious home, but, like many who witnessed the inexplicable slaughter of the Civil War, began searching for other ways to understand humankind. These were the days when the free-thought movement and a multitude of secret societies proliferated throughout the United States. Lectures on free-thought and scientific theory often were held in Masonic halls.
Ohio was considered a “hotbed” of free-thought activity.
Free thought was the end point in the evolution of deism, a philosophical movement that developed in Europe in the eighteenth century. Deism gained a strong foothold on North American thought from about 1790 to 1840. Thomas Paine, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Ethan Allen, among others, were adherents of its tenets.
Freethinkers, although widely divergent in individual group focus, believed that any issue in life should be dealt with in a rational manner without resorting to emotional responses or to the dictates of tradition or religion.Late in 1866, Dinsmoor moved to Illinois, where he taught school. In 1870, he married Frances Barlow Journey, a widow with two children. Frances and S.P. had five more children. In 1888, the Dinsmoor family moved to the Lucas, Kansas, area and began to farm southeast of town.
Dinsmoor built and moved into a log cabin on a lot that he named the Garden of Eden.
The cabin is a twelve-room house; the logs are made up of limestone quarried near Wilson Lake. Dinsmoor designed his landscape and spent the rest of his life creating the garden, which contains over 200 concrete sculptures. The sculptures and design of the house reflect Dinsmoor’s belief in the Populist movement and his religious convictions, it includes a Labor Crucified figure that is surrounded by the people who put him on the Cross, a doctor, lawyer, preacher and capitalist.[3]
The final resting place for Dinsmoor and his first wife, Frances A. Barlow Journey, is inside the mausoleum in one corner of the lot. As part of a tour, visitors are allowed to view Dinsmoor in his concrete coffin, which is sealed behind a glass wall. Inside the mausoleum is also a double-exposed photo of a live Dinsmoor viewing his deceased
body inside the coffin.

The Rfid chip can kill you faster than it can keep you safe.

The RFID chip is a Radio frequency identification chip.
It is a chip that is implanted into the heads/bodies of animals and little by little humans.
It is said to be used for tracking purposes. Some people believe it is part of a bigger conspiracy by the government to control, spy and overtake us.
It’s called The New Worlds Order.
The dangers of the RFID chip- It’s an invasion of privacy, and it dehumanizes people.
Your life is in other people’s hands, literally within a push of a button the chip can deactivate your brain.
It’s actually “Tied to everything”.
Once you choose to get the RFID chip, you can’t take it out, it becomes infused
with your skin. People think it’s cool because you can order and swipe your finger or whatever, but what they don’t realize is when you order off the phone you give them your chip identification number “your barcode number” they can pull up all your information.
Your social status, your credit score, everything we try so hard to protect nowadays.
When they pull up your account so you can pay, they also can check your health history and deny you whatever you’re trying to purchase if it is bad for you.
It seems like they’re looking out for you but what if the food isn’t for you?
It’s a free country and we’re being denied what we’re paying for?
Who would this chip effect?
The RFID chip is required for everyone. Every working and non-working person
in America, no matter whether you’re rich, middle class, or poor, whether you’re
on public assistance even if you pay your taxes.
Whatever profession you’re in, this will affect you.
Whether you’re a cop, a firefighter, a doctor, whether you’re in the army, live overseas, a lawyer, in congress, or a singer, a backup dancer, a teacher, a principal, no one is safe, not even the president. Money is dated. Paper money will soon not be as valuable as it is now. All your money will be in numbers in your chip. When people realize money can’t get them what they want they will want the chip, they’ll want it without realizing its negative effects.
Some negative effects are that it’s deadly, if RFID tags combine with static electricity you can die. Another negative effect is that the government is slowly taking away surviving resources and giving ultimatums, such as if you don’t get the RFID tracking chip your public assistance will be terminated.
What they aren’t telling us is that all your money will be on your chip paper money
will lose value. So, in desperate times people will have no choice but to accept the chip.
FOR ALL WHO RESIST: Will have to go against the government in a life-threatening rebellion.
Where is the chip coming from?
It’s a mandatory factor in healthcare. Obama’s “GREAT RESET” Obama Care.
There are many branches to this idea but if I stick to the root, I can show my points.
I hope to answer the questions through the links in this post, what is the RFID chip?
Is it dangerous?
What are the negative effects of the chip?
Why are they making us get the chip implanted?
Do we have a choice? Who is enforcing this mandatory law?
My proposal will be an argumentative proposal, because I can give more
information that way.
I say that because people will believe they have a choice, and some people
will think it’s a good idea.
I want to argue the fact that it’s not a good idea, it’s an invasion of privacy,
and it dehumanizes people.
Your life is in other people’s hands, literally within a push of a button
the chip can deactivate your brain. It’s actually “Tied to everything”.
I want to argue that the fact that the chip is more dangerous than safe.
It can kill you faster than it can keep you safe.

No more peace of mind.
