Thank you for reporting on this. I’m in Canada and really get a lot out of your sub stack. My family in the States somehow thinks they’re better off than we are here, though…I think they’re wrong. Nowhere feels all that safe to me now.
There's no doubt this will keep expanding until we put a stop to it.
“Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”
Ahhh love Frederick and this quote. As a child his was a story I held close to me, for some reason. So I appreciate this feeling of full circle. Maybe I should dig up his book again.
The NWO puppet regimes are laying their cards on the table. What was once thought of as fringe conspiracies is now mainstream fact, proven by their own actions.
The coming months and years will be whole chapters in future history books, if we take back the reigns from these feckless tyrants. Or, if we fail to stand, nothing more than a memory hole deposit because we lacked the courage to protest, push back and protect our God given liberties and freedoms.
If we're really serious in our horror and revulsion: Be noticeable in your absence. Buy nothing you don't really need. Don't eat out. Pay off debt as fast as you can--pay that mortgage bi-weekly instead of once-monthly. Don't use your phone for frivolous purposes--do you need to send texts all the time? Stop playing online games. Does anyone need to do Wordle esp. now that the NYT owns it? Don't drink out--is this the time to make things look normal?
Cancel subscriptions to all msm newspapers or stop buying a daily paper. Everything you need to know can be found online. Do that old-fashioned thing and keep a change jar and start filling it up with the money you didn't spend on Starbucks etc. etc. etc. Be serious if you are serious. They're in it to win and we better be too.
This was a strategy we discussed in anarchist circles back in the eighties. Simply withdraw from society, peacefully and quietly. Not necessarily going whole hog as some kind of green wave agri-commies with communes and such, that's life is not for the faint-hearted as all you do is work, basically. No, just refuse to play along. Go on welfare, try to get disability (should be easy the way they toss about diagnoses Oprah-style these days), claim refugee status, and so on - key is identifying what groups the governement treats as privileged minorities and find ways to qualify.
No heavy crime and no political crime, and no crime against other little people: corporations are fair game though. Defrauding the welfare system not by malicious intent but by accident exploiting their PC-induced compliant stupidity, always appealing to emotion - don't be afraid to break down and cry and behave like professional victim in public if you're good at it.
Be an expensive burden on the welfare state, and keep any and all assets in such forms that they don't count towards your allowance.
The french anarchists of the inter-war period used a whole heap of tactics like that.
Not everyone is fortunate enough to own even a front garden. I did get out of a big city but as a non-driving woman in her rapidly-tarnishing golden years, with very few resources, I'm like many others with limited options, who can afford to do nothing but rent. I just hope not to be too much of a burden to my adult kid who is already extremely generous and caring to me. My story is like many, many others.
Totally agree! I've been living that minimalistic lifestyle since I realized nearly all my taxes were going to things that made me sick. Work hard and make lots of money so we fund the war on drugs, or literal war! Gotta buy stuff you don't need to impress people you don't like!
Look, they totally fooled us. Got us to stop using paper checks and mailing in our payments. Everything is trackable anyway, eventually, but we made it so much easier for them. I can't believe how right my oldest, quite crotchety friend has been. I'm the dummy who went for convenience.
Don't buy electric anything if you can possibly avoid it. Go back to stovetop percolators for your coffee. Take a thermos to the office.
NY's (latest) idiot governor just backed down on booster mandate for healthcare workers. They can't afford to lose any more of 'em.
They can't afford to lose us from the daily economy. But this really requires convincing everyone in each of our circles to hold the line by keeping our money in our pockets now.
You're not a dummy. The guilt is not with the one extending trust; the guilt for fooling and lying and tricking somoeone lies with the perpetraitor and only with them.
The guilt you feel is their way of putting you down, putting one over on you. Don't let them do that to you.
You give good advice - pack a lunch, bring a thermos, cook and clean and fix and tamper and do stuff yourself from basics as much as is reasonable and affordable: I've found that while the starting cost can be steep (say buying a small belt sander or a plane for fixing old wooden floors), once it's yours, it's yours for as long as you can make it last. Extend that thought to all parts of your life, and if friends and acquaintances gripe - tell'em it's to save the climate! :)
Those agri-communes sure sound like a return to good old serfdom to me. And I do think it's a bit unhealthy for the psyche to go to the extent you describe. I saw through friends how easy it was to go on the dole in the UK even if you were young and fit. That doesn't lead anywhere good.
Life needs balance. There's always going to be exploitation somewhere--humans are a hierarchal species. But just because families are the first hierarchies doesn't mean, for example, that abolishing them is progress. The vaunted kibbutz movement produced a generation of emotional cripples.
My own point is to return to the old-fashioned way of commerce as much as possible; return to thrift as a virtue; have real-life experiences instead of the virtual life; become a little less trackable.
(Fun anecdote to your first reference--in HS I wore a button on my bag that said "Anarchists united!" A girl gave me a sad disapproving look when she saw it--a complete failure to comprehend irony...)
Oh aye I agree, since I have tried the examples I gave :) Spent a year or three as young, angry and revelling in the "No Future"-spirit of killer boots and bomber jackets, finally realising that while just bumming about doing odd jobs for a bob here and there while sucking on the state's teat was dandy when you're sixteen, it's a drag in the end.
So I went off on my tod, beavering away as an odd-job man until I met a girl. We made a deal - if she got knocked up by me, we'd marry. Been married to her 28 years this spring, so I guess you know how that went.
Meaning it was time to shape up or ship out, so to speak and if dad taught me one thing it was "Can do!" him being career military in the engineering corps. Off we went living in a commune for a couple of years while cramming to get into uni and have a career and get our own residence - a nice little flat overlooking one of the worst areas in Sweden. The kind or area where you don't even react to gunfire with more than a quick check: "Was it me got hit? No? Ey luv put the kettle on you passing the kitchen, yeah?"
And then it was work and study and work and all work and no fun makes Rikard into Attila the Hun, so to speak. As a friend says, "if you can't stand the taste of shit, don't work for the state or big biz". True words, that.
Meaning no more mr Nice Guy. Meaning the wife being sick to death of academics basically gave the whole schtick the two fingered salute and became a chef/cook instead. And off we went to our house in the deep forests. Fewer than 1 person/square kilometer.
All in all, if I hadn't lived as I have, I wouldn't be me. Communes and stuff like that aren't for everyone - for some it's more like going to Benidorm in summer. Nice to visit but wouldn't want to live there: too many blooming tourists.
If you see what I mean. I remember that slogan "Anarchists united". Used to see posters with that pasted over the communists' may day parade posters.
Well, I'm enjoying hearing your story. My own life is a series of extraordinarily ridiculous choices that miraculously led to my greatest treasure. Can't blame any wise thinking or rational planning on that!
Side note--do you welcome guests? (Just kidding. I did manage to escape the hell of urban life for a very small city in the Great North Woods, so though it ain't Sweden, I do got birch trees and a river just outside my (rented) window. Sort of the mini-size to your jumbo...
The HCW thing is so ludicrous. Hypocritical of them no matter which way they decide. I am a HCW. So they say we must be jabbed to be safe around our patients. But the masks don’t protect and the jabs don’t protect. Proven. Both. But then they still believe in the jabs. But they let unjabbed HCW work because, we’ll they don’t have enough of us. And we all know HCW are still contagious after 5 days whether they’ve been jabbed or not. But oh really you can go back to work, just wear a mask.
This is why Biden wants access to every bank account transaction over $6K. Fortunately, with inflation, that will soon be the price of a cup of coffee, and the reports will start to look like a denial of service attack.

I'm glad I'm not just screaming into the void ;)

Be self sufficient. Grow your own produce. Raise chickens and pigs. Home school your kids. Own and get trained on firearms.

Way too long ramble about me myself and I:

$6k? It was $600.
You're correct, my error. Dropping the level from $10K to anything lower is the problem. $10K is not that much in cash.
And getting less and less every day ;)
Surprise? Surprise would have been had they brought them coffee and donuts. The only thing surprising is there is still no use of Sarin gas.
That's the vax, silly!
