Fellowship of the White Rose - International Fellowship for Freedom

0 votes

Thank you all for the great input for this thread. It's wonderful that people on the DP are aware of three facts:

1.) Though we are all here to support Dr.Paul in his efforts to restore the Constitution of the united States (since this struggle is of importance for us all), the struggle for personal freedom transcends national boundaries.

2.) All nations have a (sometimes hidden) history and more or less strong tradition of resistance against oppression and struggle for personal freedom.

3.) This struggle is not only a political but also a cultural one.

May sound a bit dry, but basically it does mean we may not only gain a lot of strength but also a lot of fun by listening to and supporting one another.

Having said this, I think it's worthwile to pursue the idea further. You all know, I very much like the DP, but for various reasons it's far from being an ideal place to work on this idea further. It's a pitty I don't have the time and not yet the skills to open a platform on its own.

But wninja recommended this site recently: http://www.freeople.com/
I had a look on it and after reading this thread http://www.dailypaul.com/node/54413 , I think it may be the right platform to collect the ressources and continue our discussion.

I would like to know your opinion!

=====================================================

It's really deep in the night here in Europe and I should definetly be fast asleep. But I think something significant is now up and it would be a disgrace to let it pass.
When I was just about to log out, jshowell came up with this thread http://www.dailypaul.com/node/55724 and I realized, that the Daily Paul sometimes is a great place of congeniality. jshowell really has to get the prize for the idea and the stencil, but I guess the idea wouldn't have appeared for him the way it did without Brit4RonPaul starting a thread on founding libertarian parties in Europe some weeks ago and Fabio's initiative for the 12th of July event in Munich and his citation of the brave "White Rose"-group http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Rose.
There are real great and very individualistic people around here, each endowed with her/his own distinctive amount of stubborness, wisdom, imagination and "crazyness" (I won't mention names) and I am glad I have got closer (online) contact with some of you now. Beside all the great American guys and girls here there are a bunch of people from various countries. And I guess the idea to brace this "global community" with a distinct "brace" like the "Campaign for Liberty" lies in the air for some weeks.
I personally didn't join the "Campaign for Liberty" since I think, it's a specifically US-American project and it would water down the iconcept if its membership is internationalized. You may object, since I know many "Internationals" did join, but I think it neither does help the Americans nor the "Aliens".
Maria Slodowska and I still work on a European C4L-like platform. Though I am of the opinion the continental/regional, national and the local levels of the Liberty movement should be developed this way, the concept jhoswell and I were after (seperatly) is really an international one. While jhoswell "international party" provides for cultural event (and I too think it is important to have something local in the real world) my idea is that of a permanent cooperation, providing on a later stage not only for an internet platform but for exchange programms and perhabs some worldwide infrastructure. Look for something like this: http://www.couchsurfing.com/
The "White Rose" is a powerful symbol and it can cover both ideas : the International Parties and something I always thought of as the (International) Fellowship for Freedom . "Fellowship of the White Rose" is a great name for it.

Perhabs this is just late-night raving, but I would find it great, if you like to discuss these ideas

I think that the white rose is the highest (or one of the highest) frequency oils on the planet..also one of the most expensive... one once can be run between $150-350.00 so... white rose is a great slogan!!

BTW... I have some info for you.. will take 5 min..at Mac Donalds.... if you have the time...now

jdayh

Yes, I still think it's a good slogan (Though I found out WR is als the name of an Austro-German online magazine of a group who whishes to restore the monarchy in Germany and Austria. At least they don't seem to be very active)
Sorry I missed you for a Mac. I will be around at 2 pm your time.

Fellowship of the White Rose

Ron Paul was right

I was raised Lutheran

and the white rose reminds me too much of the Luther Seal: http://www.pilgrimlutheran-westbend.org/xlrose.htm

for me

raised Catholic it was a symbol of purity.

I would like to bump my Flickr map idea

I've already put my photo and address on the Flickr map. I suggest everyone else does it as well. I know they probably already have me on their radar. I know and I don't care. Here is the Flickr Map that anyone can post their location: http://www.flickr.com/groups/897900@N25/

-it would be great if we saw people from around the world join this movement.

I don't see a map

You need firefox for this

And I have to make up my mind about postingg my for picture myself.

Fellowship of the White Rose

Ron Paul was right

I have FF

and all I get when I click on "Map" is this..

There is no map view for this group.

This is because the group doesn't have any geotagged content yet, or the information about where stuff was taken is private.

Created a Flickr site

To view yourself on a map here:
http://www.flickr.com/groups/897900@N25/

Firefox should be used, MS explorer doesn't work for Flickr. Also when I tried to save and open Firefox my windows wouldn't allow it, so I just ran it from the firefox site.

Thank you

and good to know I have to change to my Firefox PC. We are growing slowly. Yet I still have to rethink this project again in the light of the election. But it's more urgent than ever.

Fellowship of the White Rose

Ron Paul was right

I think it should be an information campaign

Just like the white rose. If you haven't gotten the newest republic magazine at www.republicmagazine.com I highly suggest it because it clearly delineates indigenous law (natural law) vs. surrogate law (power we give to created organizations like government and corporations).

I think the white rose should be international and focus on countries rather than the states. The goal is to get a group in every country signed up to fight for rights. I know this has been done in other groups like freedom force international, but I think having a social aspect like regular parties to end the NWO to the group would be ideal.

Freeople is a great place and a good supplement to the DP and a FREE alternative to Meetup. But DON'T run there ALL AT ONCE otherwise the site goes bust - LOL.
