The Narrow Road to Self-Government

Elect to govern yourself.

“Democracy” is a sacred cow in political discourse, unquestioned as a form of government that promises fairness, equality, justice for all. The US has championed that ideal above all other nations, but in its insatiable quest for power as a global empire, it shows how the word and concept have been perverted and inverted. Like “peace” and “freedom” (or the more recent co-opted idols, “diversity” and “science”) democracy is another casualty of Orwellian doublespeak. The classic example was the policy to burn Vietnamese villages in order to “save them from communism”—reminiscent of the original genocide based on the psychopathic motto, “The only good Indian is a dead Indian.”

Aside from the more blatant perversions of democracy, there is the more subtle masquerade of modern democracies purporting to represent the will of their populations. Pretending such freedom of choice happens once every four years or so, by voting for one of two, or at most a handful of hand-picked henchmen and handmaidens of the ruling elite. It’s an exercise in burying one’s head in the sand.

More insidious even than the hidden hand of corporate lobbying and deep state puppeteering, is the influence of mass media propaganda and censorship. Deprived of a free press and fully informed consent, the popular will loses its organic basis and becomes a manufactured commodity. Without free speech, there  is no democracy.

To return to its original meaning, democracy conjures notions of local and grassroots self-government by a people. More radical still, we might probe to the possibility where each person is a sovereign being, beholden to no ruler or collective authority. That possibility in turn brings us back to how we might truly evolve in harmony with each other, in self-governing cooperation.

The Perversion of Democracy: A Primer

Politically savvy individuals know that democracy has rarely existed and probably never outside small groups of humans who deliberately organize themselves to share power or grant it temporarily to one or a small number of people for a particular purpose. In most contexts, ‘democracy’ is simply a label used to deceive the unwary into believing that ordinary people have a say in how we are governed. But this has never been the case in any political framework on a larger scale. —Robert J. Burrowes

“Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.” –Thomas Jefferson

We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force. —Ayn Rand

Half of the country lives in reality and the other half lives in a bubble world of fear and loathing handcrafted by the oligarch elites. One side plays by one set of rules, the other plays by no rules at all. —Andrew Torba, CEO, Gab.com

“The risk-benefit calculus is therefore clear: the experimental vaccines are needless, ineffective and dangerous. Actors authorizing, coercing or administering experimental COVID-19 vaccination are exposing populations and patients to serious, unnecessary, and unjustified medical risks.” Doctors for Covid Ethics

The experimental vaccine isn’t about health and it isn’t about politics. It’s about power. Power over your body. Power over your mind. Power over your soul. Resist. Keep the faith. We are children of God. After all: “my body, my choice,” right? —Andrew Torba, Gab

Without our obedience, the parasite class is currently nothing but a group of ineffectual, wannabe plutocrats, sat on piles of paper, created from nothing and worth nothing…. COVID 19 is nothing more than a casus belli for the Third World War. As the representatives of the State openly admit, that war is a hybrid war…. All is war and we are the enemy. The military objective is to grind us into docile and compliant slaves, serving the new normal State. —Iain Davis, “COVID World – Resist!”

The Roots of Anarchism

While the charade of supposedly democratic institutions hypnotizes the masses into sheeplike compliance, the word “anarchist” has been given a bad rap—the caricature of a bomb-throwing terrorist. I first encountered an opposite, positive vision of “Constructive Anarchism” in an off-campus college course (taught, it so happened, by the wife of legendary writer J. D. Salinger, but that’s another story). Delving into theory from over a century ago (Bakunin and Kropotkin), and contemporary discussions of land-based, cooperative living, the course helped us understand anarchism as an intentional form of self-government, with the advantage of being voluntary and consensual.

The working out of such arrangements is not written in stone, but rather depends on the historical context and the character of the people most involved. For example, the pirate colonies of the early seventeenth centuries had to grapple with the core issue of invested authority, even as they formed their own councils of decision making outside the established rule of law. The whole pirate tribe being by nature outlaws and renegades, yet there were gradations among them, breakaway factions who could not even abide the local replicas of the national governments they had fled, spurned, and plundered. (See The Devil’s Anarchy: The Sea Robberies of the Most Famous Pirate Claes G. Compaen & The Very Remarkable Travels of Jan Erasmus Reyning, Buccaneer, by Stephen Snelders.)

The rogues gallery of the high seas paints a bleak picture of human nature and of the state of the world in that era of supposed “Enlightenment.” On the underside of hotly contested oceanic imperial warfare, the pirates jammed their own survival plan forward, at the expense of the world’s seagoing powers. Then, loaded with silver coin but going hungry, they preyed on poor farmers and villagers, raiding peaceful coasts for meat and women.

Can we do better, when we choose to refuse stultifying obedience to idiot law and draconian enforcement? Let us hope our capacities have evolved enough in the three intervening centuries to create, together, humane and nonviolent alternatives to coercion.

Faced with escalating treacheries of inherited government, despite all promises to the contrary, we must admit that pirates in business suits have now taken over the ship of state. We are faced with a new existential choice and task and indeed sacred mission: to become meta-pirates.

To live and breathe and share and broadcast the truth, exposing first the lie that serves to justify: that we need or want the so-called security offered by the state. To launch then our houseboats of self-and convivial security, powered by positive human nature.

No flags flying.
Free again.
Humans without state.

Remember the Iron Curtain… Freedom for the taking, when enough rose up.

And what of the reality shows of the day, that others prefer to cling to: bourgeois dreams and bourgeois nightmares, as seen on TV?

Subvert them, don’t play along. Create alternatives.

What doesn’t change in a total reset is the pole star of loving kindness: “Good Wins” because we inhabit a universe whose physics seeks connection over compartmentalization. That this process of uprooting evil is “Biblical” is not just a metaphor: it traces its roots back through our “family feuds” as a species, all the way to our origins…. The best is yet to come, but to arrive there we may yet have to traverse the worst too. Be accountable for yourself; let others choose their own path. Self-care, self-compassion, and self-worth are the watchwords.
Believe in yourself. Reclaim your sovereignty. Demand your liberty.
Martin Geddes, The Total Reset of Everything

The Rise of Populism

Anarcho-tyranny has taken over on behalf of the Globalist American Empire.…
If the American Populism movement is to be successful we need to operate a spiritually centralized, but materially decentralized movement. For peaceful secession to happen, which I believe is inevitable, we can’t have a centralized figurehead or group for the Globalist American Empire to isolate, target, and destroy. This must be a materially decentralized movement. –Andrew Torba, Gab

Anarchism in its contemporary incarnation is akin to the more widely recognized “populism.” And like its historical counterpart, populism is being widely tarred and feathered as a dangerous threat to the ruling world order by its power-mongers, plutocrats and ruling-class presstitutes. It is deemed “extremist” to advocate grassroots anything. Old-style “conservative” is now branded with the fringe label, “alt-right,” which in turn is lumped with “racist” and “Nazi.” By the anti-populist logic, Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump are “Russian asset” bedfellows because they espouse popular causes and rouse organic enthusiasm among large masses of actual humans. “We the people” is a phrase that will likely get you sent to a detention camp as an actual or potential “domestic terrorist.” In short, if you dare dissent, you are a threat to the establishment, the deep state, the status quo, national security, science and reason itself… target of the hollow shouts of a decaying empire, which now serves its new masters, the global technocrats.

Yet populism doesn’t cease being popular. The more the State clamps down, the more the wave of popular aspirations for self-government rolls on, building like a swell that crosses oceans and continents, bypassing censors and gatekeepers, defying lockdown orders, confronting police with common sense and moral courage.

The Threat of Transhumanism

The cutting edge of global control is no longer in the street, or even in the propagandized media—both fatally exposed for the abuse of truth and political fair play, for anyone who cares to see. The most existential threat to popular human will and freedom is taking place in the invisible realm of transhumanist technologies.

The misnamed vaccine has already turned half the world’s population into walking bioweapons, their cells reprogrammed to manufacture deadly and debilitating spike proteins. Meanwhile 5G installations on the ground and satellites in Earth orbit are ramping up to zap all of us with microwaves, with a range of harmful biological effects, plus a “smart” interface with the nanobots now implanted in our bodies and brains. This emergency on a mass scale supersedes the other radical changes being implemented from the top down, but dovetails with them in “The Great Reset.” Any who survive the genetic holocaust will be pre-groomed to take part as denatured citizens of the new fake democracy.

Programmed from inside and out, we are granted no choice but to vote our assent to the replacement of human social institutions with artificial “intelligence,” “autonomous” vehicles that make human autonomy obsolete, a cashless financial system subject to central control, and 24/7 surveillance and censorship that ensures continued lockdown of our innate human freedoms of movement, assembly, speech, and increasingly, thought itself.

Will what’s left of the human spirit be left to wither on the vine?

The question for regular people isn’t how to stop this technocratic revolution from taking place. Barring some circuit-frying electromagnetic pulse, that ship’s already sailed. The question is how to stay human in this emerging world. At what point are you just being stubborn? On the other hand, at what point have you sold your soul? —Joe Allen, “Scientists Are Mixing Human Body Parts With Robots And Monkeys. We Don’t Want To See What’s Next

The Evolutionary Experiment

With the apparent success of the transformation underway, are we to give up all hope in the original ideals of democracy?

Are we already at the end of the evolutionary line for the self-governing individual human? As one such holdout for the old values, I cannot countenance such an end.

What we appear to be experiencing now is the junction in the collective mind that is forcing everyone to make a decision about what world to inhabit…. The Covid scamdemic and its accompanying RNA jab regime may well be a eugenicists’ wet dream, but the higher purpose may be that the laws of evolution are granting freewill exits based on who is, quite frankly, dumb enough to accept such pervasive and toxic cocktails into their bodies. —James Fitzgerald, What the Plandemic Can Do For Our Evolution

It may be that the willing sheep of the new pharma normal are voting themselves right out of the equation. Whether they will shed their weaponized spike proteins to doom all the rest of us remains to be seen.

As for that erstwhile bastion of democracy, the good old USA, it appears that the premise of a national democracy is on shaky ground. Given the fundamental difference between real democracy and its demonic doppelganger, a rending of that fabric may be in order:

My suspicion is that when all is said and done by the end of 2021 the US will essentially be split into two distinct nations: A leftist Marxist nation that continues to degrade into tyranny, and a conservative nation that people want to escape to so they can keep their liberties….

I think most conservatives learned their lesson on the futility of politics the last four years. The best possible outcome right now is that conservatives congregate, unify and organize from the local level to the state level to the point that we act as a deterrent to future tyranny….

At least we will be living among kindred spirits, and at least there will be a glimmer of hope for the world. Sometimes the greatest act of rebellion is to offer people an alternative, a place where the rules of tyrants hold no weight. Conservative states and counties are doing this today, and it is a beautiful thing.

Brandon Smith, Red States Are Fighting Back Against The Reset – What Does This Mean For The Future?

For the rest of the world, the tensions are the same, especially under pressure from above to conform to a uniform vision, no exceptions. I cannot imagine how such a force, imposed by a billionaire elite, could hold power over all the rest for long, unless we are all literally dehumanized and depopulated in the process. Until then, may we be guided by the wisdom of our truth-keepers, such as Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. or Jon Rappoport, who sum up the final, perhaps age-long battle in both its necessary dimensions.

Kennedy paints a picture of a “band of brothers and sisters” fighting for survival. This is the anarchic, ad hoc cooperation of the pirates against the empire. The struggle is the life; but with Kennedy’s leftist pedigree, it implies the Marxist ideal where one day, after the revolution has achieved success, the state itself will “wither away.”

Rappoport comes at it from the right-hand side. Against all temptations of group fulfillment, he champions the bedrock value of individual, creative, self-governing freedom:

When all obsessive group-consciousness on Earth is finished, exhausted, when it admits defeat, then a different era will emerge. But for now, we are in the middle of the collective experiment….

How long until the collective age is over? A hundred years? A thousand years?

The answer is, as long as it takes for every human to realize that the experiment has failed, and why.

The why is clear—the individual has been overlooked. He has been demeaned. He has been grabbed up and drafted into groups. His creative power has been compromised in order to fit in.

The majority of the world still believes in this approach, as if from good groups will flow the ultimate and final solutions we have all been seeking.

This is sheer mind control, because good groups morph into evil, and vice versa, in the ongoing stage play called reality.

Ideals are twisted, infiltrators subvert plans, lessons are ignored, and the whole sorry mess repeats itself again.

What constituted a triumph of good over evil at one moment is guided into yet another collective, whose aims are “a better kind of control.”

The most deluded among us believe we are always on the cusp of a final breakthrough.

But there is no “we” to make the breakthrough.

It comes to every person on his own. And it does not arrive as the thrust of an external force, but from one’s own struggle, accompanied by insights for which there is no outside agency to lend confirmation.

If indeed it will take a thousand years to bring this collective illusion to a close, that is no cause for despondent reaction.

On the contrary, it is simply an understanding that all experiments come to an end, as does the method of thought on which they are based.

One or ten or a hundred collapses of civilization, and the resultant rebuilding, are not enough.

The pattern endures.

It can only dissolve when overwhelming numbers of individuals, each in his own way, absent self-deception, sees its bankruptcy.

The “we” and the “us” are merely postponements and cover stories splashed on the front pages of the mind.

Fighting for what is right, here and now, is vital. But it does not preclude the knowledge that, as long as people are fixated on groups as the Answer, the underlying problem will persist. —Jon Rappoport

Coda

On we go, you and I.
Where can we see eye to eye?

Namaste.

Closer to Nature… Japanese style

A Japanese friend here on Salt Spring Island sends notice of this lovely film, just watched and highly recommended:
A friend, self sufficient farmer just across the Pacific Ocean in our village in Japan made a very beautiful documentary film of the people who keep their peaceful, traditional lifestyle in a reciprocal relationship with nature. It follows their vigorous resistance against a Nuclear Plant Construction as well as the current lives of people from Fukushima. This is an example of representation of local people, by local people. It may be too slow for us who used perceive ‘always much too fast film these days.’ Plz enjoy slowness too. (There are English subtitles.)

To Jab or Not to Jab

(Coronavirus Journal, part 17)

The topic of COVID-19 vaccination is perhaps the most controversial issue at large today. The pro-vax message rules the media airwaves, guidance from government and health authorities, social media gatekeeping, and many company policies. Conversely, to question that agenda, or even to “hesitate” for the sake of caution, risks personal abuse and outright censorship, citing a threat to public safety.

Therein lies the test for everyone: to assess the facts, the balance of risks and benefits, for the healthiest choice.

Disclaimer: I’m an editor, not a doctor. Therefore what I offer here is not medical advice, but an effort to critique a range of information for the sake of clarity.

Information

First, a note about sources of information. Official pronouncements and mainstream media imply a consensus favoring the vaccine. For example, ImmunizeBC: “While it’s difficult to definitively say whether or not there are long-term side-effects, the medical and scientific community is confident in the long-term safety of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.” In fact many medical and scientific experts do not share such confidence, but their dissenting view is not allowed on centralized and censored media and social media platforms. Fortunately we still have free access to a broader range of information and evidence, from peer-reviewed journals and official sources, that is less publicized. Three sites offering comprehensive research are VaccineChoiceCanada.ca, ChildrensHealthDefense.org, and AmericasFrontlineDoctors.org. GlobalResearch.ca and Off-Guardian.org also cover this and other issues with daily updates, analysis and commentary.

From my own research I will summarize what appear to be the main risks and benefits of both choices before us: to jab or not to jab. (The word “vaccine” itself is misleading, since the COVID-19 injection is not a vaccine in the traditional sense, but an experimental synthetic gene therapy.)

Benefits

The main purported benefit of the injection is protection from COVID-19. ImmunizeBC states: “In the clinical trials, 95% of people had full protection after getting the vaccine.” But what does that mean? For context, survival rates even after a COVID-19 infection, without vaccination, range from 99.997% (under age 20) to 94.6% (over 70) (CDC).

To opt for the jab means at least trying to beat those odds. Can it deliver?

The CDC states in its guidance for fully vaccinated people that there is a “residual risk of fully vaccinated people becoming ill with COVID-19 or transmitting SARS-CoV-2 to others.” Human rights lawyer P. Jerome reports, “The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have each publicly stated that the vaccines have NOT been shown to prevent infection or transmission… nor do they prevent symptoms of Covid-19 from appearing.” The only demonstrated benefit is a possible reduction in one or more symptoms.

A report by America’s Frontline Doctors finds, “The only group that really may benefit is the advanced elderly, and there is very limited data on efficacy and almost none on safety in this group.” The British Medical Journal reports: “None of the trials currently under way are designed to detect a reduction in any serious outcome such as hospital admissions, use of intensive care, or deaths. Nor are the vaccines being studied to determine whether they can interrupt transmission of the virus.”

BC Health and Island Health still tout the unproven benefit of reduced transmission: “This not only protects you, but also provides greater protection to everyone around you.” With greater transparency, Salt Spring Island’s Lady Minto Hospital expresses the cautionary disclaimer that the shot offers “no guarantee of full protection against transmission.”

Without or without vaccines, everyone is still required to continue to mask, distance, and isolate, for fear of transmission. Public officials continue to ignore contrary scientific findings, and previous official statements of their own, that asymptomatic, healthy people are not carriers or transmitters of COVID-19.

Even though the WHO has reversed their definition of “herd immunity” to depend on the role of vaccines, the Covid-19 therapy fails to achieve that benefit. On the one hand, the WHO states: “‘To safely achieve herd immunity against COVID-19, a substantial proportion of a population would need to be vaccinated, lowering the overall amount of virus able to spread in the whole population.’ This statement contradicts the WHO’s prior admission that ‘We do not know whether the vaccines will prevent infection and protect against onward transmission’” (Jerome).

Risks

Health Canada gave “emergency” approval to the experimental vaccine with less than six months of trial data. New vaccines typically take 15–20 years of research and trials before going to market. This human experiment, lacking the normal animal studies, retains its “trial” status into 2022-23. The agency admits, “As with all vaccines, there’s a chance that there will be a serious side effect, but these are rare… less than one time in a million.”

ImmunizeBC, however, lists a one in 100,000 chance of a severe allergic reaction (“anaphylaxis”) from all vaccines; the rate with mRNA Covid vaccines is 25 times higher. With the Moderna vaccine  there have been over 300 reported anaphylactic shock events and 450 permanent disabilities after vaccination (GlobalResearch). The FDA/CDC reporting system, VAERS, reports 3000 vaccine-associated deaths, among 60,000 adverse events including 8000 serious injuries. According to CDC, these figures are vastly underreported.

Remember the numerous media stories of hospitals “overwhelmed” by Covid cases? With massive vaccinations underway, former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson says, “I have now heard from multiple people that VAERS (the vaccine side effect reporting system) is – to be polite – overwhelmed, behind on reports, and hardly functioning.”

Are the benefits worth those risks? In one isolated Kentucky monastery, two nuns died of Covid-19 after receiving the vaccines, despite zero Covid cases in the monastery during the previous ten months. The CDC has admitted that nearly 6000 people “have still come down with COVID-19 after being fully vaccinated, and 74 people fully vaccinated against COVID-19 have allegedly died from COVID-19.” That doesn’t sound like the “full protection” advertised.

Dr. Charles Hoffe reports, in an open letter to BC Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry, “In our small community of Lytton, BC, we have one person dead, and three people who look as though they will be permanently disabled, following their first dose of the Moderna vaccine… These people were not sick people, being treated for some devastating disease. These were previously healthy people, who were offered an experimental therapy, with unknown long-term side-effects, to protect them against an illness that has the same mortality rate as the flu. Sadly, their lives have now been ruined.”

Reports of post-vax deaths and injuries continue to pour in from around the world, leading to a pause or halt of the vaccine rollout in dozens of countries. Adverse effects include transverse myelitis, Bell’s Palsy, possibly permanent infertility, and blood clots.

In February VAERS showed a third of the Covid vaccine deaths occurred within forty-eight hours of the shot. One possible cause—amplified autoimmunity, also known as pathogenic priming or antibody dependent or immune enhancement—could have devastating long-term as well as short-term consequences.

The risk is potentially much higher upon later exposure. The AFD report cautions, “Initially all seems well. The person seems to have a great immune response but then [it] becomes deadly when the person is exposed to the virus in the wild.” While animal trials were skipped for the current “emergency” rollout, previous coronavirus vaccine studies that included trials on cats and ferrets produced widespread deaths. Dr. Mike Yeadon, Pfizer’s former VP, says that two to three years down the road, we may see massive genocide-like deaths from mRNA-type injections.

It must be emphasized, this so-called Covid vaccine is more accurately described as an experimental gene therapy. Moderna CEO Tal Zaks in 2017 laid out the concept of the mRNA vaccine: “introduce a line of code or change a line of code… We are actually hacking the software of life.” The Moderna website openly boasts of their “technology platform that functions very much like an operating system on a computer…. It is designed so that it can plug and play interchangeably with different programs. In our case, the “program” or “app” is our mRNA drug – the unique mRNA sequence that codes for a protein.”

As these “trials” are ongoing, there is insufficient data on the mid-term or long-term adverse effects, and on combination effects with other medications and health conditions. When you sign up to receive your vaccine, are you giving your fully informed consent to be part of an experimental gene therapy trial… and, quite literally, to become reprogrammed as a genetically modified organism (GMO)—and as such, a pre-patented commodity?

Bottom Line: Effective & Safe, or Unnecessary & Risky?

What’s the bottom line on your own benefit–risk analysis?

In areas with little to no actual impact of COVID-19, it is prudent to ask what you are gaining by an experimental injection that promises no immunity nor prevents transmission. Lytton’s Dr. Hoffe concludes, “In stark contrast to the deleterious effects of this vaccine in our community, we have not had to give any medical care whatsoever, to anyone with Covid-19. So in our limited experience, this vaccine is quite clearly more dangerous than Covid-19.”

Children’s Health Defense breaks down the risks and benefits, based on the reported injury rate of 1 in every 40 jabs. In short, the 150 shots necessary to avert one mild case of COVID will cause serious injury to at least three people. Trials indicate the rate is likely to increase dramatically after the second shot.

The American Frontline Doctors’ white paper concludes with recommendations by age group, discouraging vaccination as higher risk for all but those aged 70+ with comorbidities, compared to prophylactic treatment with established, safe and proven medications such as HCQ, Ivermectin, zinc and Vitamin D.

To carefully assess risks and benefits, one must consider information beyond what is filtered to us from a single perspective or authority steering us to a predetermined solution.
