My past efforts make me hesitant to believe there is a peaceful solution. The federal government seems determined to persecute anyone seeking change.

Choose not to be afraid.

I think fear is also diminished when we can be proactive- when there are tangible steps and actions we can take, to make us feel like we’re doing SOMETHING. Even if it doesn’t feel like much. That’s one of the hardest parts, is figuring out what we can do as individuals, which is why I appreciate think tanks such as this Substack, where many amazing brains work in synergy.

I agree 100%, don’t let fear debilitate you from being proactive.

This is an exit to the system and a good one.

Highly observational. Thanks for the enlightening comment.

Not sure if that is sarcastic or not, but we are all about exiting the current corrupt systems and getting into new ones that cannot be corrupted (at least so easily). Much harder to corrupt our food plots and pasture raised animals than it is to corrupt a centralized food factory. Right?

Absolutely correct. In the manner of our ancestors with perks. You must've been assailed by a transient to think true words are not.

I have three growing areas now I consider two as being natural, the other a community garden plot naturalized as much as possible. Here is a playlist of the garden plot (I feel like I have to prove my intent now): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDCRYtmkDsX9XHCD-higvYUoYRhc3-WhZ

I would like to remind everyone, and hope people post all day and tomorrow that the documentary that compares the Nazi regime to the Biden/etc Regimes by Holocaust Survivors is out Tomorrow. Please watch! I bet they have great insights! NeverAgainIsNowGlobal.com Be there!

All right, we need to get together, and find people that care, and who want to involve more people that care, and make some plans. I think the first thing we need to do is protect/repair the US constitution, which should be our shield. I like the group Convention of states... they are meeting with local legislators to convene a constitutional convention. Because there are more freedom-loving states than non, we have a chance to change things from the root. Perhaps we could all join there and see what develops?

We like the idea of forming a 4th decentralized branch of government that is 100% built and controlled by the people (not the state). Because the people in America are supposed to be the government. We form this new branch of government and use it to hold accountable those who corrupt the other 3.

Did that make James Tiberius Kirk a cow? He fled directly away from threats rather than veering to the side. I suppose the freshly watered grass makes sense for the bison.

He could flee. The cows and buffaloes and us as humans have no where to flee to. The corruption is omnipresent now.

The pursuer could sometimes outrun the Enterprise. Veering to the side would make more sense, as it would require much more delta-V to continue the pursuit. Same applies to bison, but then they also miss the freshly watered grass. (Of course, depends on the width of the storm cell.)

The times when he could not flee what was he? Courageous.

Hold up. It is predictive therefor it has value and is not on the same level as propaganda. Orwell predicted, accurately, the future. He showed us what weakness and lack of courage leads to. It is our job to learn from that lesson. No?

We agree we do not need violence at all. We like the idea of forming a 4th decentralized branch of government that is 100% built and controlled by the people (not the state at all). All of us right here, and anyone else who wants to. All of it on chain and transparent and highly secure.

Because the people in America are supposed to be the government. We form this new branch of government and use it to hold accountable those who corrupt the other 3.

Point taken. And we are happy that you have this problem solving attitude. We need more people like you expecting - no demanding - positive outcomes for us all. We believe that starts with fixing the systems that govern over us. So they no longer hurt people and instead nourish them.

This sounds like violence on the surface. We do not condone violence except as a means as self defense.
