One Last Look At The Real Economy Before It Implodes - Part 6: Solutions
Submitted by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.com, (click here for Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, and Part 5)
All problems, all crises, have at least one solution, if not many solutions. There is no such thing as an unwinnable scenario. Some may not be smart enough or courageous enough to see it, but the solution is always there, waiting to be discovered. The only fight that cannot be won is the fight in which the enemy makes all the rules and we foolishly abide by those rules. Life is not a game of chess, and a man can choose to be more than a pawn anytime he has the guts to do so.
In the past, I have likened the liberty movement to a rebellion against not just tyrants but the game itself - a group of people willing to walk away from the chess board and make their own rules. I stand by that assertion. However, simply walking away is not enough; we must also be willing to take actions that will destroy the game entirely.
In order to accomplish this task, any rebellion against corruption of power must be self-critical - more self-critical of its own weaknesses than opposing propagandists could ever be. Most of our problems as a society are being caused by a relatively small number of elitists, but we will never be able to undo these problems without understanding our weaknesses as much as the enemy’s weaknesses. In this final installment of my six-part series, I will talk about REAL solutions to the inevitable economic implosion in front of us, but I will also discuss the shortcomings of the liberty movement as an obstacle to the success of those solutions.
Perhaps the most detrimental of weaknesses within the Liberty Movement is a propensity of some to demand action by others before they take action themselves. Not all solutions require a synchronized mass movement led by top-down leadership. Often the best solutions are implemented by individuals and small groups within the local sphere. One man alone may not be able to change the entire world, but each individual can change the immediate world around him in smaller ways each day. Activists need to stop concerning themselves with what everyone else is doing and worry more about what THEY are doing to derail tyranny.
As noted in Part 5 of this series, segments of the liberty movement have fallen into a trap of biased assumption, namely a gullible embrace of the false East/West paradigm. I find it a little sad at times when I come across freedom activists who worship the footsteps of Henry Kissinger/International Monetary Fund puppet Vladimir Putin, or those who cheer for a globalist petri dish like China, all because they hate American imperialism so much they have decided out of reactionary fervor to cheerlead for the “lesser of two evils.” There is no difference between those who buy into the false East/West paradigm and those who buy into the false Left/Right political paradigm. There is no “good guy” in the world of geopolitical maneuvering. East or West, it is all irrelevant primarily because both sides serve the same international interests. Those who refuse to recognize this fact will find themselves utterly incompetent in terms of presenting practical solutions. One cannot defeat the game if one plays by the unfair rules of the game.
Another issue within the liberty movement is an inability by some to consider where the globalist ideal will actually lead. I know very well that there are 1,001 theories out there as to what the globalists actually want to achieve, which is why I personally look at the evidence at hand. The best available evidence is the evidence the elites openly ADMIT to, as they are apt to do in random fits of arrogance. It is important to understand that the elites often cannot help themselves and are desperate to boast of their activities before said activities are a forgone conclusion. Some analysts in recent history have presented undeniable admission by the elites, yet some activists still bicker about the enemy’s intent.
Whether it be the surprising words of insiders like Carroll Quigley, or the in-depth investigations of Antony Sutton, or the quotable quotes of frothing Fabian socialists, there is indeed a distinct strategy in play and this strategy is hidden in plain sight; the strategy of order out of chaos. And in terms of economics, there is an openly admitted goal, namely the integration of national currencies into a single global basket system (the special drawing rights, or SDR) controlled by the IMF and the Bank for International Settlements. I do not “believe” this is the goal; I KNOW this is the goal because the elites have for decades openly admitted to it in articles like “Get Ready For The Phoenix” published by the Rothschild-owned The Economist in 1988, which stated that a global currency system will be established under the auspices of the SDR by 2018.
Further information on the plan for global economic reset can be found in my article 'The Economic Endgame Explained.'
As I have shown with ample evidence throughout this series, the U.S. is on the verge of fiscal collapse, the dollar is already in the process of losing its world reserve status, the East is just as subservient to the reset plan as the West, and all of this is in preparation for an engineered disaster that will anesthetize the masses and prepare them for a shift toward total centralization.
Solutions require us to first grasp the fundamental nature of the greater threat. The cold, hard truth is that we as a movement for freedom are alone in the fight against globalization. There are no nation states to fall back on. There is no safe region on the planet to run away to. No white knight is coming to our rescue, and any embrace of the East will end only in co-option and defeat for liberty activists.
Believe it or not, though, I am still an optimist.
Knowing the scale of the threat gives clarity to our response. The movement stands alone, therefore, we must act without naively waiting for outside aid. We must take on an attitude of self-reliance.
The gravity of our situation also reveals to us what solutions actually have merit and which "solutions" present false hopes. I have seen numerous attempts at silver-bullet solutions in the movement over the past decade, from useless and intangible crypto-currencies to pyramid schemes designed to generate enough revenue to “sue” the Federal Reserve to blind armed marches on Washington planned by tactically retarded spokesmen to even more national election drives wasting even more money and more energy on candidates that may mean well but have no chance at defusing the economic time bomb already ticking away.
If the solution presented seems too easy, then it is probably nonsense. If someone is trying to sell you on the idea that no sacrifice, no struggle and no pain will be required to defeat globalism, then they are probably a con man trying to take something from you, whether it be your money or your common sense. Throughout history, the only real solutions to real problems — economic, social or political — require much pain and sacrifice. To change the world for the better, to fight for the truth, you must be willing to take risks up to an including risking your life, otherwise failure is guaranteed.
I do not believe in silver-bullet solutions. I do not believe there is a path of “least resistance.” The following methods are not academic. They are not philosophical. They will not appeal to the egghead libertarian portion of the movement, obsessed with theory rather than practice. And they will not appeal to self-proclaimed pacifists terrified of consequence and public perception. These are difficult actions requiring the will to endure. Every response listed here is a response I am applying in my own community, and I would not suggest a solution that I would not undertake myself.
Localism
If you want to undermine a concerted campaign of globalization, you must generate an opposing system. The opposite of tyranny is voluntarism. The opposite of collectivism is individualism. The opposite of globalism is localism.
Localism is economic organization based upon the methodology of self-reliance. While globalism forces people, cities, states and countries to become interdependent and unable to survive or prosper without each other, localism brings internal economic stability and removes dependency. If all communities were based on localism and independent fiscal strength, such redundancy would make widespread financial collapse a thing of the past.
While globalism is a top down model in which all decisions and power bottleneck at the peak of the pyramid, localism is a bottom up grass-roots initiative completely voluntary in nature. It is a methodology in which no one has power over the lives of others. That said, in order for localism to become a reality, these things must be accomplished first...
Real Preparedness
Self-reliance requires preparedness. There is no way around it. There is no such thing as crisis for those who are prepared. This means placing oneself in a position to provide the necessities of life so that one does not become a slave to need. Desperation often leads to moral relativism, and tyrants thrive on the moral weakness of a population. The more prepared an individual is, the more likely he is to fight back against despotism. The more prepared a community is, the less that community will feel inclined to request aid from those who might leverage such aid to oppress that community.
Preparedness can also in some cases include commodity investment by individuals and networks of individuals. While beans, bullets and Band-Aids are a priority, no one can deny the trend of foreign central banks stockpiling precious metals. And this stockpiling is clearly being done as a parallel measure to de-dollarization and the rise of the SDR basket. Metals are useful during windows of time just before collapse and after rebuilding has begun. They are a back-up. They are not a solution by themselves.
Real Production
Americans, in particular, will have to become producers again. And by production I mean useful items, useful skills and useful ideas, rather than frivolous attempts to sustain our avarice and empty materialism. Do you have the skills to produce food, clean water, shelter, warmth or energy? Are you able to invent or reimagine useful tools? Can you repair useful items? Do you have any experience with hard labor whatsoever? If you have answered in the negative to these questions, then you have a lot of work ahead of you to learn what you can in the time we have left. If you were to approach a group of people today and try to convince them of your value as a producer, what would you tell them? If you were thrust into an economic system in which barter was the primary means of wealth circulation, what would you trade that people would actually want? It is not about being "communally useful", but it is about supply and demand. What can you provide that is commonly in demand during faltering fiscal conditions?
This is not necessarily a call for Americans to revert back to 18th century living; it is a call for Americans to reclaim their heritage of entrepreneurship and adaptability. Globalism is merely feudal mercantilism wearing a modernized mask. It is globalism that is taking us back to the Dark Ages. And only localism can bring us into a future where technical achievement works for the common man rather than against him.
Real Community
Humans are social beings, but there are healthy forms of social organization, and unhealthy forms. At this stage in our society, collectivism has nearly decimated all vestiges of true community. Today, people have no clue who their neighbors are and most of them do not want to know. They have little to no interaction with their surroundings beyond superficial consumerism, and they see every other person around them as a competitor rather than an ally. Their idea of the “greater good” is a mentally deranged one. For them, the state is the root source of safety and communal coherency rather than the citizenry, and the people around them are not to be trusted.
Collectivism isolates people from each other to the point that their only means of feeling a connection with their fellow man is to do so through support of the establishment control grid. Participation in the totalitarian framework becomes a shallow replacement for participation in the world around us. By paying taxes, blindly supporting a war, giving to impotent international charities and voting once every two to four years in the farcical election process, we fool ourselves into believing we are a part of a “team” and that our civic duty has been fulfilled.
This terrible cycle can be broken, but it takes the effort of individuals going out and actively building relationships with others of like mind off the grid, so to speak. The liberty movement in particular should be forming groups and associations all over the country — not just to complain about the condition of the nation, but to take tangible actions. Mutual aid and barter groups, neighborhood watches and community preparedness teams, business ventures and engineering projects are all useful means of organization. These organizations will not form themselves. YOU must make them happen.
Real Self-Defense
As I discussed in my article 'If You Are Not Thinking Tactically You Are Not A Survivalist,' self-defense is an imperative that simply cannot be denied. This defense must include preparation for all enemies, foreign and domestic, and corrupt government is not excluded.
Economic collapse is very often followed by an increase in oppressive state power. And in the end, the establishment does not relinquish power over the citizenry unless it is forced to do so. Because of this reality, all honorable people should endeavor to become dangerous people, the more dangerous the better.
Voices expressing nihilism and futility in self defense are rarely constructive and should be ignored. Frankly, I find such cowardice stomach churning. There may very well come a day in which you will have to decide between freedom or absolute slavery. The size, strength and technological advancement of the enemy should have NO bearing whatsoever on the choice to fight for freedom; it should only have bearing on the applied strategy. Again, there is no problem without a solution if you have the courage to seek it. I hope that my joint project with Oath Keepers on how to build a working thermal evasion suit, due to be released in the next few weeks, will provide a good example as to why a technologically advanced tyranny is still vulnerable to a resourceful citizenry.
Real Grass-Roots Expansion
There has always been a lot of talk within the liberty movement of “nullification.” But ultimately, the philosophy of nullification is useless unless it comes from a position of strength. Federal overreach will not stop simply because a state happens to pass a bill denying the establishment full access. Here in Montana, medical marijuana legalization was crushed by the Feds despite state recognition. They simply marched in and arrested on drug charges anyone who dared open up shop, and the state did nothing to stop it. This is just one example of many in which nullification failed because people refused to accept that written law is meaningless unless it is backed by a vigilant public. Words on paper alone have never stopped the ascendance of totalitarians.
I suspect that as the overall economic implosion becomes more obvious to average people, there will be some counties and states that develop a desire for nullification on a grand scale. Americans will want resource implementation to provide wealth protection. And some states have more than enough resources to offset a national financial disaster, or at least stop that disaster at their borders. This would require the complete dissolution of numerous federal laws prohibiting resource development.
Such dissolution will not be successful unless counties and states have enough strong grass-roots communities in place to defend against federal intrusion — or at least make the idea so costly and prohibitive that they have second thoughts. Each smaller liberty group linking with other liberty groups can eventually create this kind of expansion. This is, of course, a best-case scenario. County and state organization should take a backseat to neighborhood and town organization until wider expansion becomes realistic. Strong counties and states begin with strong individuals, strong neighborhoods, and strong towns.
The collapse itself could easily be prolonged through a series of smaller catastrophes; or it could happen in a matter of days, depending on the trigger. For now, it appears that the U.S. is to be worn down to nothing as the IMF works closely with the BRICS to promote the SDR basket system. All nations will be negatively affected by this shift, but some will be hurt far more than others. War is certainly a possibility and would make for great cover as the IMF’s global reset is enacted. I can’t speak much to this kind of event other than to say that regardless of what happens, the IMF and the BIS will remain neutral, waiting until the conflict subsides so that they can step in as “heroes” ready to rebuild the world.
The liberty movement must also be ready to rebuild, and our ideal must be fully formed if we are to compete with the globalists. The most difficult reality of all is the reality that economic implosion is only the end of one struggle and the beginning of a new struggle. Our responsibility will not only be to fight against the machinations of elitists, but also to convince the world that the way of independence and freedom is more useful and preferable than the way of collectivist peasantry. Collapse is already upon us; now we must decide who will determine what happens next.

Personally I'm not so sure.

Yes, and also Phoenix is derived from the Egyptian PaHaNok, meaning House of Enoch (Thoth) builder of the pyramids.
Known to the Egyptians as THOTH, the "Lord of Magic and Time" and to the Greeksas HERMES, "messenger of the gods", he is even remembered in the Celtic traditionas the enigmatic wizard Merlin, who disappears up an apple tree to mythic Avalon,seeking the secret of immortality and vowing to return. As one who attained immortality, the secret of how we "might become as gods", Thoth/Enoch promises to return at the end of time "with the keys to the gates of thesacred land." In the controversial Dead Sea Scrolls, revealing the lost Books Of Enoch removed from the Bible by early religious leaders. Some can point to evidence in Arizona. It is rather easy to confuse the Natives. Another thread worth pulling is Dr. Santos. Brillant Man who has since passed.

David Bowie - The Jean Genie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGQo6zpVzt8
A quote from You Tube comments section:
"When in doubt, listen to David Bowie. In 1968, Bowie was a gay, ginger, bonk-eyed, snaggle-toothed freak walking around south London in a dress, being shouted at by thugs. Four years later, he was still exactly that- but everyone else wanted to be like him, too. If David Bowie can make being David Bowie cool, you can make being you cool. PLUS, unlike David Bowie, you get to listen to David Bowie for inspiration. So you`re one up on him, really. YOU'RE ALREADY ONE AHEAD OF DAVID BOWIE."
Yeah, David Bowie is someone you want to listen to...
"I got a call from David in Los Angeles and he told me he had been kidnapped by a warlock and two witches," she remembers one time she came to her rescue. "I got on a flight the next day to clean up another mess."
"He did escape, but not before the warlock - who was, of course, a drug dealer - had given him a load more Peruvian flake (cocaine) so he could get higher," she adds.

Religion represents our surrender of independent thought to the soothing and numbing buzz of convention. As such, it has very little to do with spirituality and instead has everything to do with the pyschology of human groups.
Religion provides dogma in lieu of answers and creates a self reinforcing spiral of progressive accretion and concretion of thought and practice that eventually becomes so stifling that it snuffs itself out of existence, because the end game for all religions is that they steadily extract more and more sacrifices out of their faithful until the group forgets that religion should be helpful and instead see religion as a burden and come to expect the experience of religion to entail suffering and self denial as the only possible expression of piety.
Religion is thus not a spiritual term but instead a term that refers to the psychology of human groups, and thus its hallmark patterns show up in all sorts of ideology. True, religion does create things like the Inquisition and the Salem witch hunts, but we see the same sort of mass hysteria going on in our society today over things like hunting down and banning those who don't vaccinate their kids.
The problem with the Einstein quote is that I'm not sure Einstein properly understood spirituality. If he had a better view or perhaps a bigger view of it, he would recognize that science IS spirituality. The rules of physics and the process of causality is the programming code of the entity who exists in dimensions beyond our three of space and one of time. Hinduism, for example, describes the big bang as the breathing in and breathing out of Brahma, whose breaths each last for billions of years and who dies after breathing in and breathing out a thousand times, only to be born anew from Brahman, who is timeless.
Trouble is, we are too focused on good and evil, and we don't understand that there is no good or evil -- there is just construction and destruction. Sentience does not reside in our heads, it resides in dimensions beyond ours and our brains are simply able to resonate with a small piece of it. We are not bodies with souls, instead we are souls with bodies, and our souls are sentience.
+3000 Except there are more like 10 dimensions, plus one of time.
+1 for the essay.
"we are too focused on good and evil, and we don't understand that there is no good or evil"
The penchant for polarization in the conventionally socialized human entity persists from the mammalian forebears. Emotionally, mammals do not "like" ambiguity, in general, the habituated response being either yes or no, comfort or discomfort, flight or fight, and essentially nothing in between. What lay in between for mammals and the eventual human entity is the substance of evolution.
I think "evil" is an allegory for the un/subconscious perceptions/motivations for survival-self-interest behaviour in humans persisting from their mammalian psychobiological origins. Look at the historical corpus of modern Western human psycological "science" to see how mammals with brains created a whole cloth elevating the intellect over body and emotions all the while ignoring the emotional [fast, wordless], psycobiological origins for human motivation. Human spriritualization is the task to personally evolve thier default lower nature in their lifetime.
Yeah, cutting people's heads off who have done nothing wrong to anyone is soo not evil...
Yeah, feeding the homeless is sooo not good, let's outlaw that sh!t!!! (We don't want no homeless around here!)
/end sarcasm...
Wow, do you even listen to yourself?
There is no good and evil in the sense of ultimate powers. There is no vast conflict going on in dimensions beyond ours between an ultimate source of good and an utlimate source of evil that will end with evil destroyed and good triumphing and existing eternally. Instead, good and evil define each other, like light and dark or wet and dry, and neither can exist without the other. There is no possible world where everything is perfect and there is never any suffering, because we would quickly become so inured to such perfection that ecstasy would become banal, and what would happen is that our range of experience would shrink such that a stubbed toe would produce wailing and a perception of suffering equivalent to genocide or torture. The nature of our sentience is that it is adaptive to our range of experience, which is why the same sentience can resonate with the limited cognitive capacity of crickets as well as our own more advanced capabilities, and why the phenomenon of "rich people problems" exists.
From my perspective, the reality is that everything in the universe is part of the greater entitity that we call God. God initiated causality by introducing a speck of determinism, a pinpoint of "this and not that, here and not there" into an embryo universe pregnant with possibility but no actuality, full of quantum superposition where all things existed simultaneously and therefore nothing existed at all, and the big bang represents the insertion of this point of causality, the subsequent rapid expansion representing a spreading wave of quantum waveform collapse rather than the propagation and spread of actual matter.
Causality is how God creates things, and how he expects us to see the world and create things ourselves. Seeing with causality is seeing through the eyes of God, and if we are the children of God, the hope is that someday our species can grow up to become Gods ourselves through the linking of points of sentience to form greater and greater awareness. The internet is part of our development, and through it the node of sentience resonating in my head is able to communicate with that resonating in yours without the limitation of space and time.
Once the leap to seeing all things as connected is made, choices are seen from the perspective of systems rather than the perspective of isolated beings whose choices affect nothing but ourselves and those our choices directly affect. Thus helping the poor is good if the poor are where they are because of something that happened to them, but actually perpetuates the problem if the poor are where they are because of choices they make and therefore who they are, and the only accurate judge of which is occurring is the person direclty looking at the issue and deciding whether to donate some of their own limited resources to steer causality in a different direction. Thus episodic and personal charity promotes healthy society, while institutionalized and indiscriminate charity harms society by feeding dependence.
Taoism (wikipedia definition): Taoist philosophy recognizes that the universe already works harmoniously according to its own ways; as a person exerts their will against or upon the world they disrupt the harmony that already exists. This is not to say that a person should not exert agency and will. Rather, it is how one acts in relation to the natural processes already extant. The how, the Tao of intention and motivation, that is key.
Best described as letting go of thoughts/actions that may hinder or block the spontaneous flow of events that take place naturally.
From a Tao te ching translation that I like:
The kind man does something, yet something remains undone. The just man does something, and leaves many things to be done. The moral man does something, and when no one responds he rolls up his sleeves and uses force. Then the Tao is lost, there is goodness. When goodness is lost, there is morality. When morality is lost, there is ritual. Ritual is the husk of true faith, the beginning of chaos. Therefore the Master concerns himself with the depths and not the surface, with the fruit and not the flower. He has no will of his own. He dwells in reality, and lets all illusions go.
If we are all connected and all part of God, then there can be no good and evil, but only choices that construct more stable and complicated fractals from the energy of the universe, or choices that destroy stability. Choosing destruction is not evil -- it's just analogous to scoring on your own goal in soccer.
Luke 17:20-21: And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation. Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Athiests arguing about good and evil are funny...

In a way, humanity is a corruption of the perfection that is God, but a choas he introduced in order to evolve superveniently I think. Like a grain of sand introduced to a clam, God is after the pearls of individuality. The big bang is no different than a tree exploding from the seed being as how neither time nor space actually exists except as perception in this duality. Science will have to come to terms with this stuff the more quantum theory is explored. When you consider things from this perspective you realize moderation is the way to go because those that are too good, by their very existence, create an equal force of evil. When you look at it that way, good could be seen as evil too, if good and evil existed as anything other than a flawed human concept.
The way I see it, humanity is a corruption depending on its choices, but the system of causality doesn't mind, because it is implacable and inexorable, and always irons out wrinkles in the end. Like all things, humanity is a double edged sword -- it has more free will because it has more sentience, and thus it can steer closer towards more creative construction than a being with less sentience, but that also means that it can also steer further in the wrong direction towards destruction.
But, there is no heaven or hell adjudicating our choices. Instead, just re-incorporation into the larger sentience, recognition of our timeless nature, and recognition of the permanent nature of the choices we made while separated and blocked from communication with the larger entity due to the nature of the link between resonant sentience and matter. Life is a tour of duty, the purpose of which is to help build up the gradual coalescence of more sentience with more capabilities, using both technology as well as the shaping/creative force of causality, which acts like a one way valve, eliminating that which does not work while rewarding that which does.
We cannot outsmart or outrun causality, we can instead only delay the consequences of crossing its dictates, but delay makes the snap back to alignment with reality only that much more painful. And, once awareness of the bigger picture is remembered after the link between our sentience and physical matter is separated and our sentience is once more incorporated into the existence of light that surpasses the limitations of time due existence in the 4th and 5th dimensions, it is accompanied by shame and chagrin at having forgotten who we are and going native at the expense of the greater objective. Thus there is no need for reward or punishment -- the consequences of our actions, which cannot be changed and of course are visible to the greater sentience of which we are a part, are all the reward or punishment necessary once remembrance occurs. Reward and punishment are childish. Irrevocable choices and living with the consequences are reality. Our tour of duty involves being a sculptor of physical reality, and if we slip and chop the nose off the masterpiece, there is no gluing it back on.
Bill Hicks:
“Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Heres Tom with the Weather.”Well said. The only difference between us and a paper bag blowing in the wind is sentience, we all dance to God's song at different frequencies. However, being part of the eternal, we are eternal as well. Those that do not get folded back into the collective consciousness are forever cut off. This is where heaven and hell come into play I think. Hell would simply be the state of being cut off from the collective forever. Hell could be seen as the buildup of negative karma I suppose and some are left to it, by their own choice. Who knows in the end until we get there, I love to ponder the mystery.
Religion is a finger pointing toward God, but instead of looking to where the finger points, we suck on the finger, thinking that that is what this is all about.
LOL, great analogy. +3000
Thanks, and wish I could take credit for it, but a friend said it to me about 30 years ago, and it stuck.
"We are not bodies with souls, instead we are souls with bodies, and our souls are sentience."
Speculation, not based on evidence.
Name one thing in the universe that is not subject to the law of physics.
Hmm...
I like this question.
I would go with:
1. The Holy Spirit dwelling within each person with a persal relationship with I-am-that-I-am through a gift ahead of time of faith in Jesus the Christ
2. faith exercised by someone with the Holy Spirit, or by someone with faith apart from I-am-that-I-am. (After all, the medical community has documented the placebo-effect which includes the affects of participating in a study after being told about the medicine but being provided only the placebo and apparently powered by belief, in this case belief in medicine or perhaps instead in the prescribing physician)
I am very interested in any response, or items I may have missed.
First of all, physics as we know it. Which is quite limited at this point, no? Hence the great debate about the deeper nature of reality, where all the matter in the universe is, what exactly dark matter is, how many dimensions form our universe, what exists outside our universe, and we can go on like this all day, right? So, back the truck up and be honest about where we actually are on the knowledge spectrum, which should set you back on your heels a bit.
Second, of course it's speculation -- we are talking about the "supernatural", the definition of which is "attributed to some force beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature." So yeah, by definition it's speculation. Water is also wet, just to add more redundancy to our discussion.
Third, who said it wouldn't be subject to the laws of physics?
Correct quote: "Science without religion is lame..." If you have to lie to make your point, chances are your point is full of shit.
Science is a religion, just listen to scientist ramble on about science, they are obviously religious nut jobs...
(PS Religions kill the innocent, like science, but keep telling yourself guns don't kill people...)
People are killed but all sorts of things -knives, hammers, nail guns, cars, drones...none of those things operate themselves...so what's your point?
Yup, religion is just one of humanity's most effective tools, the real problem is us.
Let's let Einstein explain it then... as you will see... if you think he is endorsing anything to do with the BIBLE etc. you are sadly mistaken...
http://www.newrepublic.com/article/115821/einstein-quote-about-religion-...
Both Tesla and Einstein believed in God, ignore their wisdom if you wish. Even disregarding the fact you are going by an in the box interpretation of the Bible, spirituality will never fit into the box of any man made religion. They are very different things, a fact often ignored by most atheists and Christians alike. Quantum theory doesn't work without consciousness. One day science will bring us to God's door the way in which religion could only hype, that is what Einstein was saying and I agree with him.
Einstein was wrong about Quantum physics. If Quantum physics did not work, your computer chip wouldn't work and you wouldn't be able to post this.
Einstein was brilliantly right about Relativity, but wrong about almost everything else.
He was a One Trick Pony. His theory of Everything was a failure. Why assume his statement about religion was also not wrong?
" Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man…living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer and burn and scream until the end of time.
But he loves you. He loves you. He loves you, and he needs... money. He always needs money. He’s all-powerful, all-present, all-knowing and all-wise, but… Just can’t handle money. Religion takes in billions and billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and somehow they always need money. You talk about a good bullshit story.
If you'll permit me a small pun: Holy Shit!"
-G. Carlin
This is where religious/atheist zealots start to sound alike. They both cling to the same 'Father in the Sky' strawman that even children recognize as simple allegory to help people more easily grasp reality. God is pure consciousness, the only thing that actually exists, and most likely what science calls dark energy.
True. Except for the dark energy speculating
But speculating is fun. ;p
If God is conciousness, then conciousness can be switched on or off near the claustrum area of your brain:

Therefore, God is all inside your head.

Right?
Our brains most likely work like radios that pick up different frequencies of existence, each individual has their own. We only perceive life as a straight time line because of organization of these frequencies in this dimension. As pointed out, if you turn off a radio, that does not mean all the people you heard were in the radio. Yes, I am speculating, though not without education. That study you posted was certainly full of, not only speculation, but failed logic. I just love when scientists disregard scientific process tenants. If scientists would stop doing that, they would soon start to have more breakthroughs, their human prejudices are getting in the way.
Exactly. I love you so much that I'll kill you if you don't do exactly as I say. With friends like that, who needs enemies?
It is funny to me how so many of the big thinking free thinkers here are trapped in their Judeo-Christian box. Try harder. Here's a thought. Where did Jesus get his ideas about compassion? A lot of work over many centuries has been done to keep you in the box. Links have been broken. Tracks obscured. Because it is profitable to keep you in the box. Justinian for example had ulterior motives.
So did Constantine, I seriously doubt he was a Christian, just a typical politician. It wasn't the first or last time something was twisted and used to garner power/riches. Just because our Constitution was not meant to produce THIS America does not lead to the conclusion that the Constitution never existed. Everything has a raw potential to be used in different ways, it is the nature of the duality. Jesus learned compassion from his human existence, same as we do. There is no human empathy in the infinite, no way to relate otherwise unless God allowed himself to experience a human existence. We are all a part of it, the difference between us and Jesus is that we are cut off from the collective consciousness, he was not. The very fact the same stories repeat in different cultures, some with no contact, should tell people we are dealing with something that is archetypal. Instead, egotistical geniuses draw the conclusion humanity invented it. There is no such thing as a free thinker which is exactly why the scientific process is so important.
It all probably works more like an ouroboros, the beginning feeds into the end feeding into the beginning infinitely. If God is collective unconscious, we are sort of re-creating that with the internet. So are we creating God and then he creates us and we create him and he creates us? Chicken or the egg argument...
Well, the 'judeo-christian' scripture where we do much of our learning about Jesus, at least prior to attaining a personal relationship with I-am-that-Iam that He taught us to seek, mentions that God is love (not in total, vengeance is also indicated to be His, only) and provides a list of the attributes that define perfect love and that anyone in a persoal relationship with Him should expect to develop ahead of being accepted to dwell with God in His spiritual home, heaven. Not to be confused with the heavenly places where the pricipalities are with which there is contention (they fight love, a decent definition of evil - though not complacency or innocence. Innocence goes straight to heaven, I believe), the heavens, the Earth, or the system of 'the world'.
I think evil comes down to fear, love banishes fear. Love is the only thing that does not seek a balance with its opposite because it exists outside of the duality, outside of space and time. The Collective Consciousness = Love = God = Energy, they are all the same. The reason everything in this existence seeks to propagate is because love wants to spread and we are simply seeing that desire play out. That is why the world expands, why everything wants to grow and spread, all mirrors reflecting love. The same pattern is all around us both small and large scale, almost like a hologram. When things grow, we are seeing God's will, love's desire to spread.
Deep Thought of The Day:
Did Jesus rape his own Mother or did she consent and Jesus cuckold his Father?
Oh no, a blasphemous religious joke, we believers is skeered now! You do realize Hitchens was a perverted lush, right? Jesus loves him anyway.
"Science without religion is useful,"
Tell that to the victims of the Tuskegee Syphilis study.
Being useful involves being used, which of course no one likes. Everyone likes to be the user, no one likes to be the usee.
"The Watchers" best science fiction i've read and they didn't need much science to fly through time and space.
By about 1920 Walter Rothschild at the Tring Museum, England had assembled 300,000 bird specimens in an attempt to describe every species on the planet. He spent over one million pounds on this. They were sold to America after he was blackmailed by an ex. Walter was, however , a conservationist, and not some sort of evil predator even though pressured into the Ballfour Declaration by the British
I am not saying they are evil... far from it. They are just like us except much better educated obviously. The elite are capable of doing wonderful things for all of mankind in addition to acting in their own self interests exclusively to the detriment of all. It just seems that lately self-interest and the quest for power over all prevails with the current crop of billionaire sociopaths.
And I am sure in their minds some of them believe that the world would be a much better place if they could just control it. (Which by and large they do)
I feel the same way about myself!! :)
His father was the first Jewish person allowed into the House of Lords as they all owed him money.

Bad Jew.
Every Jew.
Kill it.
All the world's problems will be solved forthwith, right?
And us nice people will then get to live in their empty houses.
Personally I'm pretty much a "let's not kill anybody" kinda critter but this shit has to stop...
If these guys want to kill all the Jews, they should just come out and say it.
I'm sick of the infantile sneaking around and all the silly allusions and acronyms and evasions.
As if they were fooling anybody but themselves.
Jews: Smart
You Guys with the ZIO and ZWO and Z-whatever childishness: Not Jewish.
Think jews are free from betrayal? Lets see, who exactly is it that occupies the hydra heads at the top of jewish power.
''Nixon then broaches a subject about which "we can't talk about it publicly," namely Jewish influence in Hollywood and the media. He cites Paul Keyes, a political conservative who is executive producer of the NBC hit, "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In," as telling him that "11 of the 12 writers are Jewish."
"That right?" says Graham, prompting Nixon to claim that Life magazine, Newsweek, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and others, are "totally dominated by the Jews." He calls network TV anchors Howard K. Smith, David Brinkley and Walter Cronkite "front men who may not be of that persuasion," but that their writers are "95 percent Jewish."''

Yes, tarabel. Another magnificent job of attacking the strawman. Your argument this time amounts to 'Why don't people love your strawman like you do?' The reality is a bit more complexed and you don't seem to like that.
The archive of the said Economist Magazine's article on the Phoenix currency:
http://www.singleglobalcurrency.org/documents/ArticleEconomist1988GetRea...
Excellent article. I also remember rumors of a new American dollar (Amero) that would combine the currencies of N and S America, Mexico and Canada?
Stack on and stack high!
more of a wishful thinking . It aint possible to have single currency .
You'd think that one glance at the current issues with Greece and the Euro would make this obvious. I guess not.
Zero-Phoenix is an Egyptian myth, the Greeks borrowed from.Wikipedia can be too' dumbing down'-I suggest Brittannica Encyclopedia.
The Phoenix bird lived 500 years or so, has a fiery death on a nesting pyre ,then his son, the new Phoenix, arises form the ashes.
Christianity borrowed from the Phoenix myth in the idea of Jesus ressurrection; another myth to control the masses.

What bubbles implode??? (Sorry ~ technician in me fights w the engineer)
The old cathode ray tube tvs where like bubbles. If u dropped them they would first implode and then explode.
Chewing gum bubbles can either implode or explode.
The Zeppelin caught fire to melt but when it crashed into ground the ground kind of imploded it as the force of the hard ground shoved into the soft bubble.
What else what else?? IMPLODING BUBBLES ....
I can't stop thinking about imploding bubbles now!
Oh great now I can't stop thinking about bubbles and market cycles.
It's a deep subject w many layers. When I see the sine wave of course I dont see up and down on the chart. As I see the cut view of up and down as the side view. But if u took another side view look (right or left) u would see a circle. A view from the top one would get a tighter sine wave or higher frequency. The reason being is that what u are looking at is not and up down cycle but a spiral over time from the front view which is a lower frequency or slower ups and downs. The top view would be the higher frequency as it is the spiral unto it selfs frequency and thus moving faster. Now the side view looks as a circle but is spiraling coming towards u. Now I'm sure there is a Doppler effect coming and going thus the color change if the frequencies and their appearance to change from perspective. As perspectives are each unique along with the spectrum of undivided attention.
Then there is the within the cycle. As all lines are many dots. Right as the complexity of the cycle comes into view as u zoom into it on a micro scale. There I'm sure u have all kinds of different snowflake things going on between implosions and explosions... Exploding implosions and imploding explosions ... Whatever... Crazily balanced as electrons perhaps?? But then u can get even more micro level than that and so on and so on....
Now if u get down to the dot u will find it to be elusive as a wave and waves as dots because the dots is giving off waves. Not sure if they are implosive or explosive because I believe it is a bit the same as a dot is a wave and a wave is a dot kind if thing... As things orbit around the dot/ atom whatever quantum stuff and sends off waves.
But magnetic.... Too all sticky together but yet also balances of yin and yang...
And yes the entire Kali stuff was interesting too. As a volcano brings life with death.
But yet one must consider the idea that energy is neither created nor destroyed so...
Death may not be what it seems so to speak.
Can't forget the forces acting upon it all too
No the view from the top would too be the same frequency across time.
It has been so long for me to go where my brains r as I had to leave my live behind constantly running from the slave makers stalking me to rob me of my intellectual property in the moment of now 24/7. I never let them know my intelligence as it has taken years for them to come here with me as I knew we would when all of this started on the 24/7 in my bedroom.
Anyway we came to the numbers her as this is where I can speak truths which slice through the bs.
Plus u know when they rape u of all the things u love and hold all the things u love hostage via passion assassins for the warlords feast... And after blowing up portfolio after portfolio via battleship portfolio and turning America's economy complete fascism because lover pâténted and Kiki & co... We end up here at the precipice of the edge of the cliff before the other side where people will really wake up to what I speak of as I saw so long ago when this started. As anything is better than cloning me to fuck and destroy all I love... In the darkness of my bedroom since privacy is a place of torture.
Anyway here we r now. This is what we have....
I know they want to keep me isolated as to have their way with me. It is just that it doesn't work that way. Which is one reason they moved in with me so long ago. And one of many reasons Kiki stalks me.
I am a very grassroots... Type person. I don't do it to be protectionist. But after they stalked my panties and put all my mom and pop lingerie shops out of biz in order to give my shit to Victoria secret.... Years and years ago back around 2002-5 or 6 there abouts..... Well it pissed me off.
Not that that was the first time I was pissed off.... I mean these days at least the rest of u have warnings... Back then this shit was almost crazy.
They used to do it to my dad too. But back then we still had privacy in our homes and could invent things....
Lover pâténted and what I now know as others made me live a beautiful life behind over and over again no mater where I was as they mocked me for their scams to fuck me with them as their intentions came through in what they did.....
Whatever it would make a great spooky movie.
Better like that than explained. I don't like having to convince peeps of monsters. I refuse to do it. Some things best seen to be believed.
And it was done to my fathers second cousins who were famous in the day by a local famous dude.
Let's just say that those who like fascist dictatorships don't need those who are free economy. They come to steal ur ip and ruin ur income so that u will be poor enough to vote for them.
of the many things they stole and passed around like candy was my nose via their Hollywood plastic surgeon. Yea u wouldn't believe how many peeps with destroyed faces have my nose or the attempt to get my nose as it took the surgeon a long time to almost start getting it correctly.
One was Madonna but she didn't go as far as Michael Jackson to have it melt off her face. Yea when she was hanging with Hillary and Chelsea a while back. Madonna and her x hubby r such totally commie fascist dictatorship of criminal gov it isn't even funny.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg of what has gone down.
Whatever it ain't an economy one can believe in and it was only a matter of time till the truth of the slavery they create came to the surface and blew the doors off reality.
Oh yea and no shit at least 10 years after my divorce of 6 days short of 13 year marriage ... And all my wedding pics in boxes still since wedding .... They took a damn near replica of my wedding ring and dress and pumped it up big time. My ring was unique. Blue stone surrounded by diamonds.
Yea u would be amazed how long they tried to have a relationship between my x and I after we had been divorced.
Kiki did live next door to a boyfriend when I was in jr high.... And along with other relationships back in the day she was one of those women who thought she had the right to smother her way in to my life to fuck with it. Most of it was behind my back.
U would have to ask others who would be honest about it but I believe she has been mocking me since jr high with her sarcastic viscous spin on my innocense. Behind my back.... a few nice non gossipy peeps warned me that one day I would need to watch out about her that she was going to become a serious problem in my life. And well well look where we are...
See I studied hard. Now Kiki all she ever needed was smart ass words one might find from a bully in the playground all said with a terminal smile on her face. Yea...
She come to fuck with me for my brains and because her jealousy takes her to me.
She and all the others.... pass u around and around eating ur brains and passions for preparation for world war three... Armageddon.
But I have seen things that I would have never seen behind the curtain of oz. learned stuff I would have never searched out to learn. As long long time ago I said to what I called lover as since lover had crawled in my bed and only wanted to abuse me sexually as Kiki does...
Whatever I used to wave a life where I invented things 24 hours a day with my x in all kinds of creative ways.
I had to leave my spirituality behind as lover is a very jealous beast... Kiki etc.
And as fate here we are at quandary economics. Kiki doesn't like numbers too much as they get in the way of her Monopoly money.
As I kid I also knew Kiki was quandary economics. She just saw me as an easy victim. I see she realizes I am not an easy victim nor ever was I.
But she always knew that also but she was sure pretend can trump fact but it doesn't
always feel better to let it out, huh?
Remember, its all about you.

One Last Look At The Real Economy Before It Implodes - Part 99: Are we there yet?
I'm pretty sure he said six parts at the beginning of the series. Of course, if there were 99 parts, who cares? They are all well written. No one is being forced to read them, after all.
if anything, i think TPTB will perform a blitzkrieg on all the preppers and dissidents and try to remove as many of them as possible before their cash flow and resources deplete.
they just have to round up enough people in those FEMA camps and let the things go to shit and plenty of people will die
They do not need to round anyone up. They will simply shut down the supply routes to all but strategically held regions where most will ultimately go and beg them for food, medicine, T.V. and shopping privileges at the Company Store.......
More importantly, they need their iPhones to keep running.

Our unwinnable scenario is the endless demand of something for nothing, be it wealth or liberty. We are in the final stages of the empire when there is nothing worth fighting for.
"
Decadence is a moral and spiritual disease, resulting from too long a period of wealth and power, producing cynicism, decline of religion, pessimism and frivolity. The citizens of such a nation will no longer make an effort to save themselves, because they are not convinced that anything in life is worth saving. http://people.uncw.edu/kozloffm/glubb.pdfRule number one to survival: Don't become a target by drawing attention to yourself. You have already fucked that one up.......
Fair enough but things have changed;no-one is now isolated from others. 2,500 years of globilisation have destroyed nearly all indigenous non-market based societies and even the domination of theocratic empires. The economic imbalance favours trading entities that control the pyramid who become immensly wealthy. But an opportunity now arises in the age-old chaos; that a person can exist free of the constraint and tyranny of past forms and approach individuation; a freedom from the rule of matter, long anticipated.
Freedom does not exist without considerable cost and sacrifice, something that the vast majority have willingly rejected. Our country has been converted to a democracy while simultaneously becoming absolutely dependent on "systems" that in total ensures that any remnants of freedom will be stamped out.
Freedom or liberty is THE threat. It will be denigrated and abused as extremist and fringe lunatic. It will not be tolerated in any way obvious to the casual observer. Any organized and "official" resistance will not be allowed so the only survival strategy is to hunker down, keep your head down and ears and eyes open.
Prepare.
Liberty is not the "threat", collectivism is the threat. Organized resistance does not allow tyrants to dictate whether or not it is allowed to organize. There is already organized resistance all over this country, if you have the eyes to see it.
Liberty is THE threat to collectivism or any organized power structure. Liberty is dependent upon individual action, not organized groups. Those groups of resistanc are under constant derision and have not been able to gain any real ground against existing power structures. The proof is in witnessing exactly our current circumstances. We are not gaining ground as individuals, we are losing and losing more quickly everyday. Global governance, capital controls, elimination of property rights has never been more pressing than right now.
That is not WINNING.
The real fight hasn't begun. You are focusing on the trials of tyranny rather than the fight itself. The founding fathers had to go through the same trials for years before the revolution began. Our situation is no different. And individuals are definitely important, but this fight will not be won by isolated individuals - organization will arise out of necessity as it always has. Just look at Bundy Ranch, or the mining situation in Oregon - perfect examples of spontaneous organization to great effect.
We all will react and rally to incidences of tyranny and injustice, but also, in those acts, we realize the futility. They are tests...and we fail. This is not 1776. This country is not full of independent pioneers, it is full of dependent eaters who will clamor to any power that will provide even the most meager tit to latch on to. The cost of liberty is too high for these folks and is becoming so for most others as we not only must fight back against the power of our government but also the masses, who are indoctrinated to believe that WE, those who would resist, would be responsible for bringing their mouchery to an end, and correctly so.
It is most important to choose your battles wisely and to also understand when the battle is already lost. This is a cycle, one that has repeated so many times it is as ingrained as the seasons, only our lives are not long enough to actually witness all of them. We only see but a couple, maybe summer and fall, and while others will warn us of coming winter, we convince ourselves that winter in not inevitable, that its different this time....It's not.
This is a cycle we may be able to shorten or lengthen, but not stop. The rules of conservatism, of frugality, thrift, honesty, trust, accountability will return, but only after all opportunities for something for nothing, for theft and deceit have passed. Only when it becomes undeniably obvious that an individual can ONLY ensure their survival from the work and vigilance of their own actions, reliant on no other.
Independence versus dependence.
And the cycle continues.
Maybe it isn't like 1776, and maybe it is. It really doesn't matter. Either you fight tyranny or you become a slave. Anyone who refuses to fight because they assume failure is simply a coward.
No. There is another.
-----
Why do I find myself quoting movies in and out of context so often? :-)
My point is this. You say, "either we fight tyranny or we become slaves". That is wrong, because that ignores real options.
There IS another... option. Namely... evade. Move elsewhere. Get the hell outta dodge. Get the hell outta the water before it boils you alive!
I would recast your final advice into the following sentence:
Anyone who refuses to take action is a coward.
-----
PS: If you can evade or fight a battle you will almost certainly lose, what is your choice? Mine choice is evade. If a significant percentage of humans were willing to abolish predators-DBA-government, I'd join the battle. But as I and others here have noted, very few individuals are willing to take actions (other than bitch and complain). And so, the alternative is wiser. IMO.
The founding fathers were tyrants. To be sure, much less nasty tyrants than most contemporary tyrants, but that was the "smart move" in the circumstances they found themselves.
What circumstance was that? They were on a frontier continent that was essentially the perfect model of liberty, freedom and individualism. And they fought with the "crown" in England to become the masters of this very much NOT new (already populated) continent.
And they found "we'll give you freedom" sold sufficiently well to folks who abandoned their home nations to escape nasty rulers, and so they adopted the slogans they did. For what purpose? To enslave everyone on the continent... starting in a kinder, gentler way (in order to gain support and become intrenched).
-----
Now, I guess I must feel obligated to defend my utterly scandalous claim that the americas were in any way, shape or form "models of liberty, freedom or individualism". Okay, I shall.
Now, if you are free, are you allowed to own and operate a farm in the boonies? A large farm perhaps? Perhaps a square mile or three? Of course! No liberty lover would deny that.
As a liberty advocate, would the owner of that farm be able to set conditions for others who wish to cross his farm, or visit his farm, or conduct business on his farm? Of course! No liberty lover would deny that.
And if you travel to the next farm, would you need to comply with the conditions set by the owner of that farm? Of course! No liberty lover would deny that.
But this is liberty and freedom and individualism, right? And why? Because you can leave their farms, you can go find any unoccupied place on the continent, start up your own farm (or whatever productive activity you wished), and set the conditions for behavior at your home too.
The point I'm making is this. Nothing about liberty, freedom or individualism means "no rules of any kind, anywhere". What those terms mean is... you are free to leave the limited domains of others (that they created and produced by investment of their own time, effort and resources), and everywhere else you were utterly free.
Without a doubt, some farmers (or whatever they were creating and producing at their domain) would allow others to locate on their farm for ease of productive cooperation and trade. The population could naturally rise into the dozen, even hundreds of individuals and families.
But whenever any individual decided "these conditions aren't for me", they could leave, go to any other little "settlement" that had conditions more to his personal liking, and stay there. Or they could go choose a nice piece of emptiness and set up their own little "individualdom" (to coin a terrible phrase), and not be subject to any rules (other than "do nothing that harms others").
Well, folks, those little "settlements" in this perfect model of liberty, freedom and individualism were called "indian tribes" by the invading (mostly "white") authoritarians who were intent upon setting up scams in which "everyone everywhere for hundreds or thousands of miles are obligated to obey all our rules, demands, prohibitions, regulations... whatever we say".
To be sure, some of those indian tribe settlements tended to be rather nasty. But more of them (it appears to me) were varying degrees of benevolent, insightful, and in tune with reality and nature.
But the important point is this. They retained the feature of perfect liberty, freedom and individualism. Anyone could say "these rules or conditions or expectations suck"... and leave. In most cases, they only needed to travel a few kilometers to be "outta dodge", and they could set up their own "settlement for one [individual/family/friends]".
-----
And so, in the face of all this "wonderful propaganda" about "the history of our home team", the facts remain as they are. The "founding fathers" adopted an approach that necessarily DESTROYED liberty, DESTROYED freedom, DESTROYED individualism. A few of those "founding fathers" did indeed have a gift for coining wonderful sounding self-supporting propaganda. They did indeed. And compared to the vile scumbags most of their fellow "westerners" were subjected to "in the old country", it did indeed sell fairly well.
But facts are facts. The founding fathers, as well as everyone who supported them, actually lived on a continent that already enjoyed "perfect liberty".
Do make the distinction between "perfect liberty" and "a comfortable modern life". NOBODY in the 1700s had the kind of comfortable modern life that at least 1, 2, 3 billion humans enjoy today. But they DID enjoy liberty, they DID enjoy freedom, they DID enjoy the opportunity to enjoy whatever degree of individualism they wished, including complete individualism (solitude).
Sorry, those are simply the facts, as inconvenient as they may be for most westerners (and especially "americans") to face. Tough cookies.
And the consequences of "the founding fathers" turning their backs on the perfect liberty they found on the new continents is... the worst evil empire the world has ever known.
Thanks for the post(s).......
Yes, and true. See my long post elsewhere under this article. The bottom line is, "collectivist individualism" doesn't work, at least not for modern humans (maybe someday in the far future... or in outer space). And so, what you say is correct.
Liberty types who attempt to further their liberty or individualism via "pro liberty groups" go down the tubes with those groups. Why? Because they invest their time, effort and attention in... "collective persuasion" or some unworkable bastardization like that.
Which liberty-types can not only "gain ground" but "succeed"? Answer: those who practice "individualistic individualism". Which simply means, those who "get the hell outta dodge and set up self-sufficient lives for themselves" [and friend or family]. That is practical, and that works. To attempt to convince half or more of the population to "support liberty" is not only impossible, it is a form of collectivism, and a tacit agreement that "mob (majority) rule is ethical and/or legitimate", which it most certainly is not.
I loved the first four parts which gave a different perspective on things but now it is getting a bit too much about predicting the future.
Predicting the future is easy. Timing is the bitch.
Try this: NOW!!! NOW!!! NOW!! NOW!!!
The point of the articles is NOT to tell you, the reader, anything, or even to predict the future, but to get you thinking.
To get you contemplating what is and what may be, and get you thinking about it, and what it means to you and yours. Thinking that may have you take, or not take, some action because you have been induced to think a little deeper, and a little further than you would have otherwise.

"The only fight that cannot be won is the fight in which the enemy makes all the rules and we foolishly abide by those rules. Life is not a game of chess, and a man can choose to be more than a pawn anytime he has the guts to do so."
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission.
Advantage is fluid and often temporary. There are limited choices in most things, and some none. Hiroshima and Nagasaki had no choice but to suffer.
Superb and very important article.
Thanks.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission.
Our State does not have limitless resources or power. The clock continues to tick, and I believe that with every passing minute, our State's ability to sustain tyranny declines. Oh yes, just like the Nazi's Kursk and Ardennes campaigns, the State can run wild for a while, but every time it does so, it will grow weaker. I dont think we must defeat the US Armed Forces in the field. All we must do is outlast the paymaster's ability to write checks that can be cashed for enough goods to keep .gov's 'family' running.
I have studied tyranny through out history, starting with the archetypical Nazis. As a result I can flatly state that no oppressed people have had at their disposal the weapon that the American people have to use against their oppressors.
That weapon lies in the fact that the banksters, the DC US, and their Zionist masters derive their power almost exclusively off of our debt-laden backs. Debts that represent their thefts from the said same American people. If we, the American people, were to withdraw our backs and quit paying, their ponzi system of grift and related tyranny would collapse in an instant.
Just Stop paying. Stop.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission
You are correct. And yet, the vast majority WILL NEVER withdraw their support. And so, game over. Humans are finished.

What happens next is a continuation of what has been manifesting since March 10th 2008. Clearly, 28 successive business quarters of contraction which, will continue on ad infinitum until the masses finally rise up against the crony Casino Capitalist Mafia Oligopoly just like Professor Emeritus Karl Marx posited in the Communist Manifesto.
Well I'm going to continue going to college and wait for them to kill me if they want to and then I'm going to write even more once I'm out of college and so on. Nobody arrested a goddamn person that I've told them to so that's it I'm done wasting my time. I'm going to chase women until I get back to q99x2 and the hell with the rest of you. I quit.
Dont think the ww2 guys didnt see it from 64 to 74 when the elites did their massive power plays. The extent of control exhibited just left them shaking their heads. You simply can not trust the power structures period. Betrayal is common.

I don't have a problem with the program laid out in the Georgia guidestones.
There's 300 million Americans and the rest of you can draw straws for the other 200 million places.
typed as you eat your death, the tongue is the avenue. Just dont look at what is in the shovel.
The Georgia guidestones seem to be intended for survivors of a major nuclear war. Americans would among the least likely to survive such a war.
Given that the guidestones may have been written, bought and paid for by Ted Turner, reducing our carbon footprint might have been fine by him.
Be careful what you wish for, Tarabel. You may get it.
oh Tyler,
The real economy imploded over six years ago.
You just want one last look at the Bernanke concocted economy that took its place before it bursts into spontaneous combustion.
The writer talks about the "economy" imploding. There still is a real economy, people making things and growing stuff, far away from the Wall Street/Bay Street bling of I phones and Apple watches or the latest twitter crap about a Hollywood starlet's butt. That is what will collapse. The real economy will chug along.
He acts as though he suddenly discovered that there is more to life than advertising. He really shows his mettle when saying "If you are not thinking tacticaly". Another mall cop/first responder wannabe nut job.
By "real economy" he's talking about factual numbers versus the fake numbers that lying government bureaucrats pull out of their collective ass. Did you even read the other articles in the series? The real economy is dead, the system we are living in now is an animated corpse just waiting to be fully put out of its misery.
You should look at Smith's work with the Oath Keepers and their community preparedness training. He's no mall cop. Not even sure what that means. He definitely knows his stuff in terms of defense if you are insinuating he doesn't.
Fox Business had a graphic behind some talking head that showed unemployment dropping consistently over the past {INSERT TIME PERIOD}. I had to laugh. You know those clowns are in the pockets of the same people when they can't even differentiate between the U3 and U6.
As much as I like parts of Brandon's work... WTF?
Developing a thermal evasion suit in cooperation with the Oath Keepers? Everyone with half a brain knows that a portable blind made with Walmart mylar with shield you from FLIR and a portable blind is a hell of a lot more functional and realistic than a "thermal evasion suit".
Also, aren't the Oath Keepers just a bunch of flag-waving cops who swear during peactime not to take your guns during SHTF time (as if they could without getting shot to pieces). Aren't the Oath Keepers just a bunch of frauds who are fine working 9-5 kicking down doors of grandmas with overgrown lawns and such?
That mylar crap doesn't work. For some reason dumbass rednecks think it works, but I wouldn't bet my life on it. I tried it with a buddy's thermal scope. You basically can never touch the material or it heats up immediately, meaning not really practical for anything other than hiding in a hole with the material tied above you and you not moving. Not to mention it's friggin shiny. Hiding behind a big tree would do a better job. If he has a working suit, that would be a game changer in my opinion. The military has them, but how they are made is a tightly kept secret.
As far as Oath Keepers goes, I am a member, and I don't know of any "door kicking" of grandmas homes. Sounds like bullshit. Do you have any evidence of an Oath Keeper member doing this?
Two things- You don't touch a blind. You stand, sit, or walk behind/under it. Portable blinds lined with mylar have a track record of effectiveness against thermal.
Now, the Oath Keepers- show me one current or former cop that doesn't violate the letter and spirit of the Constitution every day as a part of his or her "duties" and I will show you a purple unicorn. All I ever see from the Oath Keepers is the "we won't take your guns during civil unrest" line and a bunch of flag waving. How about having active law enforcement members swear they will not participate in unconstitutional drug raids, seizures, and searches? That will never happen because pissing on the Constitution is a daily requirement to be in law enforcement. Show me a long list of resignation letters from cops who quit before retirement because they wanted to become true Oath Keepers and wished to stop participating in unconstitutional searches, seizures, drug raids, or kicking down grandmas door because they city says her lawn is overgrown.
No, they don't have a track record. Mylar blinds are crap if you intend to do anything other than sit in one spot for a very long time.
Show me an example of a member of Oath Keepers doing the things you describe. You are the one making the accusations so the burden of proof is on you, bud.
It's a good time for disclosure of ET presence. This would cause a revolution.
Check "Citizen Hearing on Disclosure". Progress is made.
"I have seen numerous attempts at silver-bullet solutions in the movement over the past decade, from useless and intangible crypto-currencies"
Here's proof that this guy is either a stooge, liar, or a moron. A wide adoption by the masses of either physical silver or Bitcoin would set these scumbags back a thousand years. The real question is who is Brandon working for?
Silver For The People
The Bitcoin Channel
Physical silver would help people protect their savings from inflation, but it wouldn't set back the bankers "a thousand years". A thousands years ago silver and gold were the dominant currencies and the elites still ran things. Bitcoin on the other hand, is pure shit. There's a reason why big banks like Wells Fargo were ready to adopt it for use - because it's not a real threat to bankster control. Not surprising though that anyone who criticizes Bitcoin is accused of working for the bad guys by bitcoin followers. Bitcoin turned into a cult, and that made a lot of very reasonable people back away from it, which is why its basically hit the skids lately.
Dream on. Bitcoin velocity is o fire.
Ha! That's the funniest bullshit I've read all week. Thanks for the smile. Bitcoin is going down the drain fast. Interest peaked a year ago, and it's never coming back.
Just when you thought you were kissing enough ass, I was ordered to kill you.
Goodbye
pay people what they are worth. For the past 23 years I have either owned businesses or sold products/services for businesses that pay me straight commission. If every American job paid people for what they produced/generated and not a dime more we would either have people that worked or people who were unemployed. Work. That four letter word that somewhere in the last generation or more has come to mean glaring up at me from behind the counter under your pierced and tatted eyebrows because I interupted you from your texting to dare buy something in the store you are "working" at.
We have become a nation of fat, lazy, belly button gazing, feelings oriented pussies. I drive on the tollways here in Obamaville, IL where they have just doubled all of our tolls by the way. The men building and widening hundreds of miles of lanes and building the bridges are working. They are sweating their asses off and freezing them in cold weather. They sweat, they sunburn and they make a damn good living. But they work. Truth be told if they all make 150K a year the real money is made by the very few road building companies nationwide. Do you have the capital to own cranes that are worth a million and a half dollars? I don't. Am I thankful to drive on the toll roads and pay per mile in addition to all the taxes just on fuel and tires? Another story for a different day.
What I am saying is this. I remember the day I first saw a 1964 dime. My first thought is I should save it because it was like a four leaf clover to me. Lucky. I have heard all the ramblings here for years. Withdraw from the system. Stop paying. Etc, Etc,... Do you recognize the fact that in many companies you can't even draw a paycheck without having a checking account because payroll is exclusively direct deposit? Do you think that is by accident?
See money is simply a system of payment. But fiat is not money. Money also since it represents stored labor should work for us if we choose to store it temporarily somewhere. I never really understood the concept of slavery to the bank until a mortgage banker handed a check to the couple I bought my first home from. Since at the time I was working in a straight commission job to qualify for a mortgage you submit your self to anal probes and blood tests to prove you make enough moeny to pay them for virtually the rest of your life. Where did that check come from? Who worked and how long and how much did they sweat? How much did they fret? How many weeks did they pay employees before taking dime one for themselves? It hit me. IT IS ALL A CON. Finance, Insurance, Real Estate and then some.
You never own anything in America. Stop paying your mortgage or real estate taxes and see what happens. I was downsized from an over 100k a year job. Last year I made less than I did in 1989 and I loved it. I will be getting 23 dollars back from the feds on my tax return this year. So I still overpaid just a touch too much.
If a bank will not pay you interest and you dont need direct deposit for your pay check , dont use a bank. We need to organize a nationwide protest to hit every bank say first Saturday of the month. Picket signs to simply read. NO INTEREST? THEN NO INTEREST. Period.
Unfortunately, joe six pack and there are a few hundred million of them only need the factory open and a paycheck on friday for a trip to the liquor store. It is easy to lose heart but hope deferred makes the heart sick. I enjoyed last year more than any year of my life. I no longer chase a buck unless it is in the woods with my bow. I have a new grandson from last year who at 9 months is a 21 lb mini sherman tank. The kid has storage tanks in his thighs and I tell my daughter to not let the Tyson people see them. I love life. I love my kids and wife and grandkids and I love to hear children laugh. If you focus on doom and gloom it becomes all you see. I will never give up hope.
As individuals we can withdraw from the system. As a group? Not so much.
Always keep one eye on your bobber. Good weekend to all. Forgive the rant.
They will outlaw cash, thereby forcing us to stay within their grasp. To live outside of their control will become very "expensive".
They can only "force" those who comply.
PERIOD.
So... don't comply.
Live by production and trade (barter).
An interesting read and I, like many here, agree with the conclusion. I think though it is way too naive. I have been involved in local politics and regional politics over the last 20-30 years. Not anymore, but my point is "the people" will not make any effort unless pushed or scared. Anyone who has ever gone out at the street level to "talk" to people or to organize people find that they are willing to listen and do nothing. If their own lives are not being directly impacted in one form or another they are content to sit on their ass and cheer you on.
At least the author positioned a "solution" which is better than just bitching and illustrating the obvious problems. The prepared will have to defend thier preparations and forsight with violence as the scavangers and needy will be a large portion of the unprepared. Probably the majority. When they get hungry they will come for the food. Organizing some ultra violent responses and stacking or hanging the results out in front would probably deter the many that follow.
Protecting your goods and possessions will be a crime against the collective, punishable by death. Hoarders are terrorists that hate children, old people and the Homeland.....
Listen and be polite. I agree anti progressive. Most people as you said do nothing unless scared or in pain. It may be coming. Think Grateful Dead on steroids.
Brandon Smith moans on and on but I don't find any of his 'prosephies' sensible and he has provides very little detail in his ramblings.
