How and why to take action

Revolutions are designed and furthered from thought provoking and inspirational ideas. Rational clear cut goals and strategies that exceed current status quo. Most of society suffers from an information deficiency, the lack of true and pertinent history along with a controlled media outlet placing it's own interests within culture through propagation laden, plots, character roles, scenes, musical lyrics, news articles and broadcasts. The more people that are aware of the way the world works and solutions that can be implemented to create a better one, the smoother the flow within society to direct it's own actions apart from the few at the top with their own set of self centered goals, and the sooner we can work together for the good of all. The more educated and aware the populace, the more solutions can be thought of and in a cooperative and organized manner put in to place through out the world. The greatest weapon in any war, quarrel, scuffle, game, or debate, is a mind. It can inform, analyze, determine, and most importantly choose. Which is why we must unlock peoples minds to the importance and power of learning, more than just from the t.v., your schooling, peers, or any single source. We must constantly be looking at the current situation, the triumphs and mistakes of the past, and envision the future's.

Forms of communication like the internet have been the biggest tool in spreading information, debating, and coming to individual conclusions through the conference of a mass consensus of freely presented data, that can be scrutinized or praised with other data, allowing for a more sensible and clear outcome. Spreading information across the planet using social networks, blogs, vlogs, file sharing, using criagslist to pass out burned documentaries and informative videos, pamphlets filled with websites and links, art and graffiti, using a pyramid scheme archetype where one person recruits three and they recruit three and so on, and any venue or outlet you can find or think of to wake people to possibilities that exist for a better planet.


Instilling organizations like-

Meet-Up Groups: This is better than nothing. At the very least, we should be able to find the time to talk with others of like mind in a neutral setting away from our computers and express our concerns. Weekly or bi-weekly meetings are a must. Anything less frequent will probably go nowhere. If taken seriously, Meet Up groups can easily develop into the first strides towards real community.

Protest Groups: Street protest alone is not enough to effect positive change. Governments today ignore the will of the people, and assert policy measures without regard for public outcry. However, a protest group could help in initiating wider political action and help build bonds of trust. It is a step in the right direction, but not the end of the journey.

Farmer’s Or Garden Co-ops: Personal food growing and especially organized citizen growing is a threat to establishment and corporate systems. If you are no longer dependent on their food, you are less likely to be swayed or controlled.

Barter Networks: Barter networks take farmer’s co-ops and other private entrepreneurial ventures and form living, breathing economies which decouple from the mainstream system. A strong barter network with knowledgeable and skilled participants is like an oasis in the desert of economic disaster. It insulates and protects community, yet it refrains from centralizing or dominating community.

Neighborhood Watch: A real neighborhood watch is a move towards independence, and self defense. With municipal investment disintegrating, you cannot always count on local police to have the funding or the motivation to help you. Which means, you’ll have to help yourself. This is much easier when the rest of the
neighborhood is behind you.

Survival Groups: Survival groups allow training with others who may have extensive knowledge in areas you do not. Also, Survival Groups can share the financial burden of stockpiling goods, and, they can coordinate the acquisition of supplies so that each person has less work load to carry in the long term.

State Or County Militias: They seek to ensure the safety of others in the event of collapse. This is an honorable endeavor, not “extremism”. Bad government needs the masses to remain dependent, or, it loses its source of influence. Militias take away that influence, and so, are constantly and maliciously scrutinized in the media.

Safe Haven States: A Safe Haven State, or a “Free State”, is a state that has nurtured so many alternative markets and liberty minded communities that it acts as a barrier to a corrupt government. A Safe Haven State is Tenth Amendment conscious, supportive of sound money measures, and restrictive of federal interference in its affairs.


After networks are in place we will have the power to take direct and meaningful action, such as in blockading large corporations, massive information spreading campaigns virally and in the streets, creating and spreading massive petitions, voting together with our wallets to cause change in work conditions, pollution, or any actions taking by large corporations or organizations seen by the people as criminal. They have us divided and kept most just fat and happy enough to not take a look at why the world is the way it is or how to improve it, it's up to us to come together and change that.
