*As always, previous Discourse provides depth as everything builds
To the outside world, most days I just want to be left alone. It has been my life experience that most people regardless of where they are from on the globe seem to share this same desire. I tend to my family and my children, my beloved friends, my dogs… and I do my best to walk and talk with God.
This does not mean that I am a hermit, I can be very social. My personality type is comfortable with periods of solitude, I even desire it, but I am also a natural leader and can stand in front of many… and have held many positions as such. However, I mind my own business most of the time, especially in matters that do not concern me. Beyond the voluntary communities I am part of, I do not seek to compel my views on anyone else or get involved in the affairs of others. That is until those affairs come to my doorstep, demanding things of me and mine. Even then, we must weigh our battles and choose accordingly, as one man and his family cannot fight the entire system alone. I understand this, but there are limits to this patience and real men must draw lines instead of maintaining a controlled retreat. If a man does not have lines, he cannot claim to hold principles or have honor, just suggestions and performative integrity.
I have drawn my lines, and I have engaged the enemy in non-kinetic warfare. This essay is not only a call for reinforcements, but a general battle cry. I hope some of you hear it echoing off of the halls of history, telling you that a new age is indeed coming. By the end of this century the world will be completely different, what that will be is indeed up to you.
I have never sought to compel my way of life on anyone, even when I believed in our political system. I was just too naïve and ignorant to realize that I was doing just that by participating in what I have come to understand is a massive trap. It acts as quicksand, pulling those caught in its tentacles downward faster the harder they struggle against it. That is how the managed populism of the dialectic works. Everywhere.
While I started separating from it earlier in stages beginning with 9/11, I have seen things clear enough for about ten years to know we all live in the parafictions of other men. We are trapped in the perpetual managerial revolution by the architects of our globally manufactured political and cultural hyperreality. The latter prevents us from seeing, let alone understanding, the mechanics and power of the former. In my “The Deep State IS The State” essay I attempted to point the reader into a direction so they themselves can begin to understand it, if they do not already have a grip upon it.
Let’s get something clear between myself as the author and you as the reader. We do not have to agree on the details beyond a very simple truth. The truth is, you and I, the common folk… have no tangible power in this system. This system is global. Rearranging placemats and deck chairs do not count. We are at the mercy of their discretion in all things political, which is ever increasingly also becoming the personal. This march will not stop on its own, this must be grokked.
That is all that matters. I have written hundreds of thousands of words describing some of the things I suspect, and you may agree with all, none, or some of my positions. Makes no difference to me or to the greater call of this essay. But just this one thing matters.
You know we are being fooled and we have been essentially neutralized by the real ruling class.
This is not an opinion position, rather it is a demonstrable truth of our reality. If you do not see it that way, this essay is not for you. Go back to sleep until you are ready to wake. If you do see it, this means you are at the least, partially free… like myself. You have internal dialog, which many do not, and you manage your own considerations, thoughts and beliefs. You have at least begun the true path of individualization; the path of paradise regained. You also hear a voice from the corner of your mind, perhaps it is now a loud roar like mine, telling us that the system is not broken and in need of repair, rather it is working as intended. There are enemies to our left and enemies to our right, we are in fact… surrounded. The scientific management of society is really the scientific enslavement of the world. We are not on our way my friends, we are already there. It did not just arrive during Covid19, Biden, Bush… it is a perpetual process set in motion much deeper in the past than most of us are prepared to admit. We have woken up on the plantation with only dreams of freedom in our mind and songs of rebellion in our hearts.
The wolf is not at our door, it is inside of our homes. It is in our churches. It is in our communities, our schools, and it is certainly pouring out of our TV’s… it has eaten our moral and ethical sentiments, including our philosophies of liberty, natural rights and natural law, and has shit them out distorted and inverted.
It is long past time for free men and women to make these affairs our business and not from behind a keyboard on Substack or some other social media apparatus that is connected to the NatSec state, but in real life. That is if you are free folk… and not just another performative being of pure media.
Some of us have already started the fight, while most of you are just talking about it. I have watched people bark loudly for years only to end up cucking once again for the same set of boots they complain about. Others feel satisfied by their own form of hysteriapathy, where they vent their frustrations online and then return to comfortable compliance in the world of flesh and blood. If that offends you, then you are who I am calling out. Venting online is not your only option, and it is largely irrelevant, which is what most people do. Albeit there are some very talented venters out there. For the rest of you itching for direction but paralyzed by the totality of the system, pull up a chair. We are going to put the iron in the fire.
To all the free men and women... I call to you. This is the great American Ting, a meeting of free folk. But this isn’t an exclusionary nationalistic rally whose parameters are defined by geographic borders or immutable characteristics… but one that is defined by what is considered an American idea.
Ting- a public assembly of free men in the Viking Age
“A free people claim their rights, as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate”
-Thomas Jefferson.
In January of this year Christopher Cook published an essay titled “What kind of World Do you Want?” The framing of this makes it an excellent question, especially considering most people seek to find a place in the existing world instead of manifesting what it is they wish to see… or preserve. Few people blaze their own trails. I have been contemplating this for months, and to a degree this could be considered a response. The key here is what kind of WORLD do you want? We can try to resist globalization, but it is already here. However, we can weaponize it, unleash it, free it.
We are born free by the grace of God, but as Rousseau said, “Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains”. The architects of this system wanted a global order and to a very large degree they certainly have it. To that end, ideas do not have borders, and if the communists taught us anything of value this must be it. If they want a global system… let us give them one.
One conceived in Liberty…
“I see the liberty of the individual not only as a great moral good in itself, but also as the necessary condition for the flowering of all the other goods that mankind cherishes: moral virtue, civilization, the arts and sciences, economic prosperity.”
-Murray Rothbard from “Conceived in Liberty”
Let us claim our rights as free men from those who seek to keep us enslaved. Not as citizens of a single free nation, or a nation of borders, but a growing diaspora that is unchained from any national flag, race or geography. The next revolution will be global, and it will occur under a single voluntarily chosen banner of liberty. As all movements need their Rome, ours shall be in the autonomy of the individual, the cornerstone of a society conceived in liberty. This revolution will not be televised, and it has already begun.
I have discussed in writing at length here on the stack and elsewhere about how mass society has been conditioned out of our affinity towards the principles of America’s founding. This has been deliberately engineered. Sometimes this is accomplished by inverting or distorting the meanings of our descriptive words, other times it is achieved by cherry picking, demonizing, misrepresenting or omitting historical facts.
On one hand, our founders’ experiment has clearly failed, and it did so before the ink was even dry on the constitution. This has been known since it was succinctly pointed out by Lysander Spooner in the 19th century.
“But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain- that it has either authorized such a government as we have had or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist. “
-Lysander Spooner
Ever since then there were no excuses for free folk, as they were LARPING as a free society, conflating our reality of imposed implied consent with the Jeffersonian consent of the governed. This process continues to this day to an even greater degree, words have been weaponized to provide the rhetoric of freedom and liberty into the vocabulary and understanding of mass society, although those signs have had what they signify replaced with their opposite. So, when the machine malfunctions, intentionally or on its own, citizens blame the failure of the simulacrum on what we are pretending to be (free market is one example), which pushes us even further from that ideal. This makes the system self-protecting against its primary threat.
Just think... how many of the failures of the 20th century have been blamed on individualism? Truly an inversion of the truth.
Even the anti-American cultural Marxist would be surprised to know that some of the founders tried to rid us of slavery from the start. Jefferson originally including anti-slavery statements directly in the Declaration of Independence … but others demanded it removed and had the political capital to see it done. Some of Americas founders were flawed but noble men who shared an idea for a better world for all human beings. They were willing to fight and die for it. To each other they pledged their lives, fortunes and their sacred honor.
That was a nation of free men. They were fucking brave.
Unfortunately, even from the start there was enough resistance from power to prevent their ideas from manifesting for long. The nation began decaying immediately due to the inadequacy of the constitution to protect its citizens from encroachment. In 1803 the Supreme court made the constitution fluid with the creation of Judicial review with Marbury v. Madison, which removed the objective interpretation of the words in the constitution and gave that authority to a court who could now subjectively determine what it is that we theoretically agreed to. Power began using that document against the people, rooting out the core ideals of America’s founding. Less than a decade later was the war of 1812 with the British crown, which among other things sought to hold the reigns of our financial systems if it could not control America openly. Even after the war was over their influence never let go of their former colonies even to this day. Unbeknownst to most who attend public school, the British took an active role in a complex American Civil war with other nations such as France. The war was not about “slavery”, that was at best a secondary concern, this was a geopolitical battle over sovereignty and power. Even Russia was involved, as they blocked British ships on the Atlantic and Pacific seaboard from attempting to intervene on behalf of the confederates. While the details of that war could drag an essay out to beyond a single book length, the point here is that the crown never fully relinquished America even though her common citizens believed the revolution was over. While the plan was much older, during and after the civil war Queen Victoria set in motion what became known as the Anglo-American establishment (The Anglo-American Establishment – Carol Quigley). This foundation set in motion the ideas of a new global empire that ultimately led to WW1, the league of nations, WW2 and then the United Nations.
While the constitution was flawed, if the spirit in which it was conceived was ever honored, the Anglo-American Establishment and the world order it gave rise to would have never been possible. But here we are. Many American citizens as well as citizens of other “liberal democracies”, have been reduced to being more cattle than they are free folk.
Considering this, one should see why narrative managers attempt to condition people into thinking all of the founders and their ideas were bad… this is because at the core of the American idea are concepts that are truly dangerous to power. Some of these ideas exist today but in name only, their meanings being transvaluated. One side of the dialectic thinks the founders were racist degenerates, the other thinks their vison has been mostly achieved, that is up until some random democrat presidency from Wilson to Biden.
Neither side is right.
“The technique of infamy is to start two lies at once and get people arguing heatedly over which is the truth.”
-Ezra Pound
We have the intellectual tools to beat this system, but we must first stop cannibalizing each other for the gain and amusement of the global power elite.
What makes these ideas so dangerous is not that they cater to one group over another, nor do they present notions of racial superiority or claims of preferential divine treatment, rather they empower the world’s largest minority group.
The individual.
These ideas recognized the natural rights granted by God to each and every man and woman, with no other qualifications. In every single person, every Dasein, there is a potential kingdom. A monarch of one. For a government to be just, such a person would need to grant their consent to be governed.
Consent is morality.
Another thing that makes these ideas so dangerous, they are not regional. They are not exclusive. In fact, natural law is inclusive as it is innate to our very species. These ideas recognize natural rights which are universal. Meaning, this can be our universal global political ideology, one that as a default does not recognize the inherent legitimacy of any government.
Government gives unnatural power to man over another man. The idea of a limited government protecting our natural rights (which are universal components of natural law) was a noble one but ultimately flawed. While humans are naturally dispositioned towards good as a general rule, we are highly vulnerable to temptation when facing an unnatural, or unfair, advantage. In this case, given power by government over another man with the monopoly of violence. Perhaps 8 in 10 of us never press the advantage unjustly, the 9th holds out for a time, but the 10th of us fails. While we are still good as a general rule, due to the corruption of one within the machine, eventually the system capitulates to this rot as power spreads like a cancer. Now the system only welcomes its own, and the good... those 8 in ten, must suffer the machinations of the minority… who are inevitably controlled by a form of oligarchy in such a system. To the point, government enables the very worst of us from the worst parts of us. Limited government was not limited enough. In fact, government as we now know it certainly needs abolished. Perhaps it should be natural voluntary anarchy, or inarchy, with large, centralized forms of government being outlawed in the way previous cultures would outlaw certain behaviors with banishment. At the least, there are better ways for human society to organize that do not involve violating consent and are more in line with the natural state of the human being. This system we are in is unnatural.
Important to note: Technocrats and transhumanists among others, believe we are in charge of evolving ourselves, to them the natural state is what we decide it to be. Meaning, others get to decide what it means to be human. Man made in his own image. Government is a necessity to steer this world organism. I am arguing there is a natural order that we did not create, and we should probably organize ourselves in a way that reflects in. The inversion of what we are doing now.
I would like to briefly clarify why I said this. While I certainly have my particular belief in a metaphysic that presents that notion, as well as personal political preferences, the gist of my logos on this stems from my understanding of human behavioral modernity. We are, if you will, designed with preset innate behavioral mechanisms that drive humans to be cooperative as a general state. We are a social species like our genetic cousins, geared to lean towards cooperation after discernment of friend or foe. Even other primates with similar but lesser neural architecture present behaviors similar to natural law, including the recognition of property rights. (and even understanding bartering to a degree) Of course, we can be tribal and those interactions can be violent, but our general settings are geared toward survival and they range from the basic (fight, flight or freeze) all the way to the ability to compromise and have empathy, as well as having a general distaste for anti-social behaviors like theft, murder and rape… which are universal in human culture dating deep into antiquity. Not that these things do not happen per se, just that they have never been found to be socially acceptable traits except in cultures that are well beyond 2 standard deviations away from the norm. (“Patterns of Culture” by Ruth Benedict covers this decently)
Of course, these social behaviors have developed over eons with us living in more of a natural state of organization, including the natural state of interacting with one another. In the past you could not just treat other humans as you wished, there would be instant feedback not inhibited by the state, usually in the form of social shame or a right hook- now we are suppressed. This concept is partially explained in the book “Darwinian Psychiatry” by Mcguire and Troisi. When we cannot behave naturally, we develop abnormal mental pathologies, coupled with living in an artificial system we essentially become captives in an open-air zoo. We are affected more than we currently realize by our unnatural arrangements, which obscures the fact that natural law has more or less organized humans effectively (and our archaic cousins) for a long time.
Looking around and seeing the anxious, neurotic and violent state of the current human, including the proclivities of the hedonistic Faustian man, it becomes difficult to believe we are dispositioned to the good and that it is even possible we could do without government as is. However, to look at it this way is to look at it wrong. The system as we know is not functioning as a remedy to the natural evils of man, rather, it serves as a poison to the better parts of us, as it draws us further and further away from the natural order of things.
The problem, those that hold the reins of power in this world want this to happen as it makes us pliable to their control and their desired solutions. The further we get away from the natural order the less likely we are able to resist it. This is because it changes the way we think and how we evaluate ourselves and the role we play in the natural world. Emerging technologies of the 21st century has sped this process up as we have become encapsulated within a controlled algorithmic psychosphere of surveillance and engineering. Systems are now beginning to predict our behavior with uncanny accuracy because as a species we are being reduced to meat robots.
As this accelerates, man grows more dependent on this artificial system to hold together his artificial schizophrenic psychology. We are not only in a cultural death spiral, but a large segment of our species is psychologically broken. Most of them will not be able to help build the new world we seek. They have developed the 1000-year stare only seen in animals who have only known captivity, somewhere in their genetic memory the savannah calls to them, but they can only sense the impression of what once was, like it was a ghost of a stranger passing in the night. Upon seeing the savannah in the flesh, they become terrified of its enormity and will long for the safety of their cage. This is akin to a human being demanding the ill perceived safety and security of modern government because they cannot fathom a better, more natural way.
To say it plainly, if it is ever going to get better, and I for one do believe that it will, it must first get very painful. It is like “The Call of the Wild” by Jack London, if you remove all of the structures of modern conveniences that a domesticated dog experiences, it will either fail to hear the call of the wild and will flounder and die or something ancient will begin stirring deep inside, awakening a vitality that was once lost. Humans need to hear that call again. It would be better to make that transition slowly, but it may only be possible if done quickly to prevent recuperation. Unfortunately, not everyone is capable of making such a transition.
For those of us who are seeking an alternative system, at least at first, we must contend with the algorithmically grooming surveillance state. Anonymity will protect you no more than leaving your device in a car from the human terrain systems as it compiles enough data through dragnets to determine who you are and to tie data back to your profile that forms your digital clone. I know parts of the system are incompetent, and I suspect there are reasons for that, but it is very competent where it really matters. It is also fair to say that whatever they publicly disclose, what is transpiring in reality is worse. This statement has never failed to be the case. With that being said, when DARPA started the Information Awareness Office (IAO) back in 2002 they revealed the Total Information Awareness program. While it is no longer around, many other programs operate in its place. Point being, “Total information awareness” – this means everything. This hasn’t magically stopped, and that was 20 years ago. How often do you open you fridge, what appliances you use and how often, what you watch, how you sleep, how you drive, shop, think, fuck…just name it. They want total awareness, that way we can be algorithmically nudged into desired reality tunnels and made to be predictable. Social media hands them the keys to our own enslavement.
It must be understood that it is not possible to disappear from this system entirely. Red flags go up when someone attempts to do so, or changes their behavior, any deviations from predicted models will. I left Facebook a few years ago and abandoned a page I ran that had thousands of followers; my absence I am sure was noted. In real life, my identity is very public, and disappearing is not an option…and I am certainly on the radar. I do write under a pen name on the stack like others, but my concerns not only have to do with what I say online influencing some of public hats that I wear but getting doxed or swatted in my personal life. I wish I could wrap my entire life in a “faraday bag” that shielded me and my family from the thuggery of the state (that is after all what they are) and its hordes of zombie NPCs, but it is not practical. What I am really concerned about, as we move forward, the more data they collect from someone the more predictable they become. If a person lives their life online, even anonymously, including providing all of their thoughts et cetera… the digital clones they form go through test simulations that can predict real world behavior of that person better than they can even predict their own behavior. While this type of data for a target population is already tied into various terrain systems (like Nexus 7 used in Afghanistan- there are newer versions since this is now over 15 years old- Israel is using s system called The Gospel and Lavender that is similar) for military applications, we are very close to autonomous AI policing systems here that can use these same type of terrain systems that collect data to engage in not only law enforcement…but pre-crime. Thought crimes are on the horizon. One such company is called Gabriel. In the event that you need to be…unpredictable, you want to have that ability. It is difficult to outsmart a well-formed digital clone of yourself, and we are all quickly losing that ability. Most people have already lost that initiative.
In the book “Lord of the Rings”, Tolkien goes on in Return of the King about despair being used as a weapon, presenting defeat as a foregone conclusion being a deliberate and effective tactic. While this section may seem like that is what I am doing, or that it is merely a black pill, I am in fact laying out the battlespace for my fellow Ting participants.
To begin with, stating I want to be unpredictable did not mean that I was contemplating committing a crime. Unpredictable could mean many things, the least of which is a neutral playing field, similar to not allowing an opposing team to steal your signs. There are no taverns for the sons of liberty to meet in, if you understand what I am saying. I have mentioned somewhere in one of my essays that I do not think a violent overthrow is even possible, let alone a good idea to try. I have only ever advocated for defensive violence; I want to be left alone. However, defensive violence can mean multiple things, I am a peaceful man… not a harmless one.
Not long ago I was asked a question about this technology that “if the predictive system is so good, then surely it will see most of us as non-threats to their power and dominance since this is all they care about.” In one sense, I think that is axiomatic. As much as we would like to believe, none of us are a threat to the state, (at least not yet) and if we get anywhere close to being on that probability level through simulations, we will either be recuperated, nudged, utilized or solved. I think of it as a sniper tower with a 1000M line of sight and we are on foot walking towards it over an open field, any attempt at rebellion would fare as well as Pickett’s charge. So on that level, if that is all the tech was used for was to protect the power structure as it currently is, “we have nothing to hide” and our online presence and almost anything we do does not matter and me getting off line would be pointless. However, this presupposes that the motives and purpose of such surveillance and enforcement (including pre-crime) would be to just maintain the status quo. This is not how power maintains itself or behaves, nor does that seem to be the motive or sole purpose here. Our entire social reality is in a perpetually fluid state, as is power, and these systems are not only used for the aforementioned, but they are used to create new reality tunnels and thought architecture that can foment new economic drivers such as selling new products or entire economic agendas (ex: green agenda), manufacture consent for wars et cetera, or nudge citizens into new cultural mores. Also, once these systems are in place, as they already are to a degree, they will be used to enforce an ever-changing set of social rules, including hate speech, that favor the new status quo.
For clarity, those who control the system itself are the ventriloquists, everything else are their interchangeable puppets, which includes new “status quo’s” which can be substituted at will.
So while we may not be a threat to the status quo at this moment, were you a threat to it during the Covid19 lockdowns? I was. What will be the new status quo in 5 years? Ten? Twenty? While we may not be a threat right now we might be then, depending upon how being a threat is measured, and we will be held to account for our past selves with pre-crime systems.
It is absurd to say, but it is a very real future possibility… that being unvaccinated could be a threat to national security or airing public grievances against foreign policy, even if it was in the past. Your digital clone remembers. The system would see such people as a threat to power if the laws changed, which they already are in some places.
In this line of thought, especially about pre-crime, while your digital clone may not break laws now…what if the probabilities show that you are highly against some new law…like making gender reassignment surgery legal in 8-year-old…or mandating transgenic therapies in toddlers. If you have an 8-year-old, DCF will show up and give your kid a survey to make sure they are being treated right if your digital clone shows you are against such things. Of course, this is a bit extreme, but if they can use all of our data to determine probabilities of action, who is not labeled a threat today might be tomorrow. (smells like a social credit score)
After all, we all have our red lines. Well…many of us. Probably you if you are still reading. Most likely I will never engage in offensive (yet defensive in nature) violence, but there are lines that could be crossed in the future. The algorithm knows this and it seems…now this is fully an opinion…it seems like it pushes people to where they almost break (like lockdowns et cetera) and then backs off right before a threshold is hit. Bend but do not break. Two steps forward, one step back, over and over, making its “progressive” progress in a zig zag instead of a straight line. The system uses swarm intelligence to measure larger social shifts and can run simulations on that as well. It seems like this system can be used to tame a revolutionary spirit into compliance this way just as easy as it can foment a color revolution. If we take a good look, current republicans are 90’s democrats. (maybe early 00’s) How did they get there? Bend but don’t break. Nudged. Now with the digital systems it seems like these things can be steered much faster now.
I am much more concerned about tomorrow than I am today, which is why I am cautious online. There will be a day I will stop writing on the stack so my own digital clone cannot outwit me, even now I intentionally only reduce certain things to physical paper that will be for my children only. I know some will scream about slippery slopes, but for anyone paying attention they know the Patriot Act did not prop open the door…it kicked it down. A slippery slope is really just a future game trail, eventually number 9 or 10 will walk it on their own with or without bribery or coercion. Power attracts pathological personalities. As it was said in the movie Field of Dreams, “If you build it, they will come.” Well, we have built a rather wicked panopticon. If we lived in a free society with a limited and transparent government that did not use coercion and deception to operate, I may look at these things differently.
But we don’t.
We do not live in a free society.
The system cannot be redeemed or fixed. All of the authors who warned us about the dangers of modernity and authoritarianism were right to urge caution and warning.
Back in 2000, I used to think we could vote our way back to liberty. That was foolish. We can affect local elections to a degree but that is only useful for a particular strategy I will get to. I later considered the convention of states, but I had yet understood how color revolutions worked, now that I know holding a COS would at best backfire. At least at this stage. This was also before I realized that many of us, frankly, are not redeemable. I do pray for them.
I am not saying they are all your enemies, but many of your neighbors are not your friends. They are content and even happy with the perceived comforts associated with a large government. Sure, they like to complain about it performatively, but try to remove some of it, especially the entitlements… and watch what happens. This includes both wings of the uniparty, democrats and republicans.
Depending upon what they do in the future, they may very well become your enemy. Many became just that during Covid19, and it got close to particular lines. But do not give up on them until you must!
Bitter truth… not everyone really wants liberty.
This was achieved by the system engaging us common folk in a temporal war of gradual encroachment. It captured the technology of culture, getting us addicted to consumerism and convenience. Now we are plagued by apathy and have developed a global cultural Acedia.
The prevailing mainstream narrative of what defines America is very much a nostalgic mythology of a nation that never really existed. It is a story.
Tyranny is not coming. It is already here.
As free folk… if that is what you are… what are you going to do about it?
Talking is good. Strategy is good, especially long term. Any real success will take time. Generations. This is important because power has weaponized agendas that play out in time and us common folk are generally not legacy planners. Plus, most of mass society has a media memory of six weeks, generational plans are invisible to them. They were for me as well for a time. Our present culture is not set up for a quick reversal. Developing philosophies for the future, including the continuing evolution of America’s founding concepts is also good. While all of these things should take place, we do not have time for just that. Talking is good. Writing is good. But action is needed.
Real action. Free folk need to do something in real life. Otherwise, you are wasting your time. It won’t matter if you have written the perfect political philosophy that all 20K of your Substack subscribers love if you have never spoken of it out loud in your local community. Same with strategy. What good is it if no one around you knows. We need actionable items.
Atomizing the individual away from society was achieved by the creation of the digital simulacrum, which gives people a false sense of community. With the flip of a switch, it could be gone, and you will find yourself among strangers. Alone.
If you are free, get up off of your ass and take action. There are many peaceful strategies.
We do not need to figure it all out prior. We need to take the journey of 1000 miles and are in need of taking the first steps. Trust in what you can do. Trust like minds, find each other and build real communities. If you have faith, trust in God to light the path.
This is the way.
We must engage, but not in violence. If that day comes its necessity will be self-evident, discussing it is not helpful.
The first step towards a solution to counter and eventually replace the managerial empire is to not acquiesce to it.
I am not saying to stop paying taxes. On the contrary, do not play those games. You will be isolated, and the system will crush you. There might be a time downstream when new communities have been developed with similar culture that could collectively reject them, much like Boston in 1773, but that time is not now.
View the system as a force of nature like a hurricane or tornado. Be mindful of what you do not have to do and only do the minimum to stay out of jail. During Covid19 they got many people to comply with things because they thought they “had” to. They often trick people into consenting. Additionally, elections on the federal level are all kayfabe. Stop participating in them. State level is only marginally better.
The second step begins by building things outside of the present system and parallel to it. Things like homeschooling that are not directly confrontational. I am not saying to build a standing Army, but local gun clubs and community networks are good to form. Keep in mind these need to be actionable, so form communities of people you know and live in close proximity to. Strangers and people at a distance could be a liability. Be cautious of instigators. These communities cannot be inspired by fear or coercion, but by example. Over time people will gravitate towards a better culture.
Developing local alternative food sources to the “just in time” centralized supply chain is important. Got land you aren’t using and cannot cultivate it yourself, rent it our for a local farmers market. If possible, have a well dug on your property and familiarize yourself with proper maintenance. If none of this is available to you, support your local farmers’ markets with your dollars. Everyone can play their part no matter where they fall on the socioeconomic scale. Make your communities regionally sustainable with necessities to sustain life.
Step three builds up from there. Seize your local communities with like minds, take over or dominate local governments like city councils. Work towards balkanization everywhere, separate from the system in all possible ways, but then join in federation with other like-minded voluntary communities of free folk. A new diaspora whose motto is live free or die. We will become like cancer, metastasizing its way across the global organism.
From there we would go to step Four, but that is a conversation left to the imagination at a time when it is feasible.
However, any progression along these steps is pyrrhic if the public school system is not abandoned. Your goal would be to have everyone in your community out of them so they must shut their doors. Give teachers an alternative economy to work in, detached from the leviathan. Of course, leave most of your old curriculum behind.
Children were always at the front line of their temporal war against us, so a necessary step into defeating the system is to sever its connection from their impressionable minds. For an extensive essay on the subject check out “Lets Flip Some Tables.”
My wife and I homeschool our children and have formed a fairly large community of like minds. Instead of our children needing to unlearn and then learn the truth about the world as we did, the veil will never be placed over their eyes…or their hearts.
Education is good. Indoctrination and mass conformity brainwashing is not. Young boys and girls should be taught proper life skills and be well rounded. Throw in trained sentiments, a developed moral sense, independent grit, critical thinking... and you have a recipe for a new generation of revolutionaries who can push us into step three and beyond. This is how they did it to us, now we are inverting it.
Homeschool your children. Don’t have children, help others who do. Do you have teachable skills? Volunteer or sell your services to a homeschool group. Make it possible for all families to do this for their kids, this is after all our real collective future at stake. If there is not a homeschool group in your area, create it. (even if by law they must attend regular school – like Germany- let the real school begin when they return home) Are you a shop teacher? High School biology teacher? Gardener? Music teacher? There is a growing market for your skills outside of your normal day-to-day work right now. Be an entrepreneur, if you build it they will come.
If all you are doing is talking…STOP. Get up off of your ass.
Let us not go quietly into that good night. Stand up. Fight with tools. Be patient. Stay determined. Pray. Hold fast. Let’s go.
We must be the generation who plants a tree for the next one to see grow.
That Tree, her name is Liberty.
Let us set her right so the roots run deep.
Her branches stretched high up towards the heavens...
Higher…higher…
Curse, bless, me now with fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Wow. Thank you. There's so much "YES" in this article I am at a loss for which to respond to- other than thank you for amplifying the wake-up call of STOP TALKING AND DO SOMETHING - build shit LOCALLY, when SHTF your internet friends aren't going to do shit, and this is also by design. People venting and dumping their everything into a void makes them passive asf in real life. The stuff about the AI programs and digital clones though - fuck that reminds me of Rudolf Steiners talk on the "ahrimanic dopplegangers" - perhaps thats what was meant by that since that's all tied in with AI. I will happily call it a day regarding electronics in concluding with this article. Thank you for taking the time to write it.
The tree is the right analogy IMO. A lot of people have plans for taking the nation back. Christopher Cook. “Take No Prisoners The Battle Plan for Defeating the Left”, by David Horowitz. “By the People: Rebuilding Liberty Without Permission” by Charles Murray. And many others by lesser authors. Unfortunately, those plans haven't worked probably won't work, even if tried. A grassroots, bottom-up, organic movement might have a chance. A tree not a machine.
What will prevent Americans from ending the current regime? The fear of arrest, probably. “…the algorithmically grooming surveillance state” is a synonym for “police state” and “secret police”. Yes, as you say, the founders were brave. They risked being arrested for treason and hanged. How many Americans now are that brave? The Soviet Union controlled hundreds of millions of people over a vast area for many decades. They did it using a secret police, mass arrests, and the fear of arrest. The Gulag Archipelago tells the story in perfect detail. It is probably our future.
I guess there might be some kind of “soft revolution”, that collectively convinces the regime that they are better off not finally strangling the goose of free enterprise, that has been laying the golden eggs of a high standard of living for everyone. And the regime bends instead of breaking America to totalitarianism. But the current regime seems to have enough control to install totalitarianism if they choose to. The American people do not seem inclined to stop them.
Minor correction: “Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains” is the opening sentence Rousseau’s The Social Contract.
