Now What?!

0 votes

After High School my Uncle Steve picked up a great little book for me titled "Now What?!". The book was about how to prep for an interview, how to find an apartment, how to save money and generally get your life in order in the real world. I read it several times and really enjoyed its brevity and its upbeat message. One of the last pieces of advice was "Keep a sense of Humor. Life is absurd most of the time."

I have kept that advice in mind tackling all the different hurdles on my journey. There have been setbacks and delays, twists and turns that are completely unexpected but I've managed to stay ahead of most problems. My family and friends have also been there for me and I have many blessings to be thankful. I have not been thankful for our current predicament.

The government is passing the highest taxes on the middle class and further destroying our production capacity. The military is protecting the illegal drug trade around the world while they're flying and paying terrorists to bomb them. Despite the overwhelming evidence against global warming the media is still kissing up to Al Gore and the Congress is moving to tax us for existing because of this fraud. Dumbed down sycophants push the government mandated vaccine while many children are hurt or die and we're expected to allow this atrocity. Our President is busy signing treaties that take away our gun rights and force us under the United Nations. Intelligence agencies around the world are paid billions to spy on Americans who dare speak up against the government. Life truly is absurd most of the time.

So the question is Now What?! Our Federal Government is unresponsive, illegitimate, criminal and have targeted us for financial extermination. Our state government is slightly better with many legislators reaffirming 10th amendment rights, however the Federal Governments many hair trigger goons such as BATF have proven states can do little to protect their people. The Continental Congress was recently held to create a people's solution to the crisis and to mimic the original Continental Congress, however in the Original Continental Congress actual legislators decided to overthrow the British Government. The current event will do little as the representatives only represent themselves.

What we have been dealing with since the Original revolution is a stealth economic takeover of our government. Now that our manufacturing is crippled and soaring unemployment the globalists think they have us under their thumb. They have polluted our air, water, food and our minds. The good news is we can take it all back.

Learn from the first Revolution. The colonialists were wealthy because they traded amongst themselves with their own money. They grew their own food, were mostly debt free and manufactured without the heavy burdens from bureaucracies we have today. In other words their governments might have been in place, but the starting point was an economic freedom. We can issue our own currency-either in precious metal rounds, local currency or barter. Dropping dollars, debt and any recurring payment to the machine (like changing your energy to wind or solar) is the first step. We need to starve the beast.

The second step is establishing our own government. In our global world with instantaneous feedback this new government can be radically different then what we have today. Unlike the current plan of economic tyranny executed by eugenicist oligarchs a government that would work for the individual rather then the state could be forged. There would not need to be any representatives or houses of Congress. A direct republic can be built without the threat of majority rule. Attempts to prosecute the current band of criminals might be achievable, however creating a government will most likely stem from protection for the new economic dynasties created, outside of the ponzi scheme.

The final step is confronting our common enemy and taking back our power.

The first step is the hardest. Many of the most ardent opponents to our current power structure will not take the time to find providers who take anything but fiat dollars. When our food is grown in our backyards, our energy is created on our roofs and our cars run on anything but gasoline then we'll start the next Revolution. I will be doing everything in my power to make the revolution personal.

Good thread!

What are you fightin' for?
Caught in the middle?
Freedom is only for those with the guts to defend it!

I like the approach you've begun

to work on. I'm not as far along as you but am struggling in the same direction of local voluntaryism. I look hopefully to those more capable than I am, to build networking beyond localism.

Sunday morning bump

If you are interested in

If you are interested in trade without FRNs, you may want to check out the freecycle group on Yahoo groups. They've been in existence for a few years now and its a wonderful place to pick up needed items and to offer items that you no longer need. All things posted are free, first come first served. The only catch is, you can not take advantage of a free item until you first post once to the board with an item you are offering free yourself. After that, watch it closely because all manner of useful items come up for grabs.

Its a great group of people that would rather reuse things things than throw them away, and of course, it bypasses the necessity of playing the FRN game.

Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the tip. Freecycle sounds great.

I am hosting a Barterers Bash next Tuesday

None of the "Liberty Movement" folks will be attending.
I have had a "Barter Board" website for over a year. One of the local "liberty livers" finally signed up last week.
I had 2 CC09 parties while the CC09 was in session. One person attended one of them. It has just gotten kinda nuts around here!

Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.

Is your barter board linkable?

I'm starting some websites so people can trade anything but dollars (hours, materials, local currency, etc.). Do you have a link to your barterers bash on meetup or facebook or anything like that?

We really need to get connected to make this happen. Because of the internet and telephone we don't have to rely on local anymore.

Start getting freedom today by dumping Federal Reserve Notes, Stocks, Banks and anything made outside the USA. Buy precious metals, real estate, businesses, food and guns and get your business community to use local or sound currenc

What is the link to your site? Is this just a local thing or do you barter on the open net?

What wonderful words of wisdom.

Thanks, there are ways we can be pro active in our efforts to regain our Liberty.

Prepare & Share the Message of Freedom through Positive-Peaceful-Activism.

You are right.

Self reliance alleviates any need for a tyrannical government. But when you talk to people about living such a lifestyle, they believe that means you have to give up all the luxuries of today. They think it means reverting back to the 1800rds. They don't realize that with alternative energies we can have all the luxuries that we have today. Myself, I would love to live totally off grid.

that's right

Not only could we all live off the grid, we could automate most of the chores people think they'd have to do (like do hydroponics instead of tilling soil). The "work" will be spreading this information so more people can do less manual labor.

I think a few people are going to have comprehensive solutions that get picked up by other people and spread organically through networks.

There's a much better way to victory garden today.
