We Need A Unified WAR ON CORRUPTION.

If You Aren't With Us, You Are Against Us.

(Connect with the hashtag #WarOnCorruption)

As Terrance McKenna once said, “We have the money, the power, the medical understanding, the scientific know-how, the love and the community to produce a kind of human paradise.”

So what stops us from doing so?

It’s the corruption.

Shouldn’t we all be aligned against this corruption?

We believe that if we fix the systems that govern over our lives and make them resilient against corruption we can fix everything else. Nearly every single issue we face today is hindered - or even used against us to divide us - because our systems are so corrupted. Systems matter most; and our systems are corrupted to the core.

So, why don’t we join together in a new War On Corruption?

If we did this, what would it look like? Here are 10 strategies we could use to wage and win a war against the current corruption of our systems. Can you think of any more?

1) Transparency. If we cannot see what is really happening behind closed doors, we can never fix the corruption. Confusion and division is the cover that those doing the corrupting need, and it is why we are constantly being divided, and information and propaganda is being used against the American people (funded by our own tax dollars). We must demand transparency with the tyranny and force of all the masses behind it, bravely unified as one people. In order to fight, we must be able to see.

2) Decentralization. Centralization of power is always a target of the corrupt. If we take the time to understand what decentralization really means, then we can decentralize and return the highest control of the systems back to the people. We also should encourage leaders to decentralize their own leadership.

3) Whistleblower protection. We must encourage, protect, and even incentivize those who report corruption by implementing strong whistleblower protections that shield courageous whistleblowers from retaliation and provide legal support and rewards for their actions. As we have asked before: Why doesn’t a decentralized safe haven for whistleblowers exist?

4) Systems to exit to. What we really need are new systems that make the old ones obsolete. Systems like what Balaji Srinivasan describes in his book The Network State, or new social media-like systems that connect voters and politicians in new ways, or systems where humans can super collaborate and align and start movements together that build trust and translate into action, or even systems that already exist like Bitcoin. If we have an exit strategy, we weaken their corrupt grips.

5) Accountability. Establish a new decentralized 4th Branch of Government 100% built and run by the people that the people use to hold all of the other systems accountable. We can hold our own independent audits - and choose who we want to handle them, host performance evaluations of politicians and government agencies, and establish new momentum for independent oversight bodies. We should also consider social credit scores for politicians (but never for the people). With great power comes great accountability to those you have power over.

6) Strong legal framework. Develop a robust legal framework that clearly defines corruption and its various forms, sets forth harsh penalties for engaging in corrupt practices, and provides law enforcement agencies with the tools they need to investigate and prosecute corruption cases without the ability to have top-down centralized entities halt investigations, call them items of “national security,” or shield them by calling them parts of “Intelligence” like what happened with Jeffery Epstein.

7)Independent judiciary. Ensure the independence of the judiciary system, so that courts can rule fairly and impartially on corruption cases, without interference from political or other external influences. Have punishment for interfering with this process be upwards to life in prison.

8)Public awareness and engagement. Create a new slogan, like: JOIN THE WAR ON CORRUPTION and invite all members of society. Point out that this is the biggest problem our society faces today and all other top-down solutions will be corrupted unless we once again as people regain a say in our own systems. Increase public awareness of how corruption is the main cause of suffering, and its negative impacts on society, and encourage public participation in the fight against it. This can be done through campaigns, education programs, and facilitating public access to information.

9)Political finance regulation. Make it a unified goal to implement strict regulations on political campaign financing to limit the influence of money in politics and prevent conflicts of interest. Also, make insider trading illegal for all politicians.

10) Merit-based appointments. Ensure that public officials are appointed based on merit, rather than political connections or personal favors, to reduce the likelihood of corruption. Turn many of these appointments over to a voting board or to the people.

If we follow these ten steps and also agree to continuously improve our systems against corruption by testing them, we can begin to dig our way out of this mess and win this War On Corruption.

This can be and should be an overarching stance that people on the left and right (and everyone in between) unify against. Let’s come up with a new banner, logo, and fly it. We can and should have all parties involved. Imagine “War On Corruption Democrats” and “War On Corruption Republicans” and “War On Corruption Independents” all unifying against this one cause.

If a politician is really for the people they should be vying to show us so by how much effort, laws, and systems they put in place to help us win the War on Corruption. It should be our single most important factor when picking a candidate to vote for.

If the current political class doesn’t want to wage a war on corruption - which we doubt most will - then we may need to reinfiltrate our governments with good and brave people who do. And then use the tyranny of the masses to protect them.

Starting today we could put every single corrupt politician on notice with a joint campaign against corruption, letting them all know: “If you aren’t with us you are against us.”

This war isn’t left vs right, it’s the corrupt vs the virtuous. Erase the blame game of the faux left vs right paradigm. The whole thing is a distraction show while those who do the corrupting continuously rob us from every angle. Get organized. Find alignment. Shop local. Demand transparency. Learn about decentralization. Buy a little Bitcoin as a protest. Join a Network State. Look for alternative systems. Set aside the hot button issues and focus on the real target: those doing the corrupting. It is time to hold all sides accountable, relentlessly.

The most important war today is a unified war against corruption. Be courageous and enlist yourself.

Do you hunger for solutions?

As always the entire purpose of this is to connect with other solutions-minded people like yourself! For 4 billion years on this planet there were only single-celled organisms. Then one day they somehow learned to work together and make complex multi-celled creatures like you and me. Right now we are like those single-celled organisms. Our next evolution is finding how to work together, better (like we wrote about here).
