H) Last but not least, We the People PAY politicians to be implementers of our collective will! Hold their feet to the fire and remind them of this fact! We PAY them to uphold, protect and defend the Constitution, as is their oath when taking public office! They work for us, not the other way around!

I) And finally….the most effective way to undercut political corruption is to stop financing it. We can’t stop paying our taxes, but we can certainly claim every legal write-off, and we also can do one even more power-impacting thing: Leave the country.

This quote summarizes the nature of my concerns and the content of personal experiences which stir my activism: "Necessity is the plea for every infringement on human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves". --Paul Revere, House of Commons

Avid reader, jazz musician, philosopher, chef, stone mason, carpenter, writer, painter, poet,humanist, teacher, holistic ethicist who believes consciousness and love pervade the universe, except among self-obsessed humans. I perceive the philosophical unified field to be consciousness and joy. The entire universe is composed of waves, which we surf by understanding.

Another way of being heard is to stop cooperating. Just sit down. No violence, no threats. Don't give 'em an excuse to send in the Marines.

Stop buying stuff. We are going to run out of everything when this corrupt structure collapses, anyway. Start learning to be as self-sufficient as one can. Learn to make pure drinking water. Learn to find and grow food. Store enough food and water for six months. Figure out how to live in your basement without a toilet. Prepare comfortable alternative sleeping quarters in a sheltered area like your basement. Learn to live off the electric grid. We may need this knowledge. This current government is controlled by materialists who prey on our needs. Stop needing them. They have killed off the game, poisoned the water and done everything they can to make survival without their stuff impossible. Learn to do without major corporations.
