We are divided. That was their plan. Using rhetoric and the media they sowed poison and distrust. Many among us are coming to realize that Right and Left are meaningless. That is a long step forward. We need to take more steps in the same direction. Women and men, Black, White, Hispanic, (fill in the blank) straight, gay, young, old; it is the contents of character that really matter.


There are solutions to all the problems; we can find those answers.

Get ready to rethink your ideas, rejecting their games.


Government is just a contractor hired to fix our collective toilet. Government cannot be sovereign: the only sovereignty exists in individuals. As the Declaration says,

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, -----”


This form of government has not worked.

So here we are today. Now the question is what to do about it.

Government needs to be returned to its original form, with the people deciding how to organize at the most local level. That mandate from the Declaration reads:

“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

This time we'll do a better job. If the last 200 years was the beta test, it is time to learn from our mistakes and hit the Reboot.

To Reboot, we need to get off the grids they set up to contain and control us; we must focus on local sources for all our needs; we need to strengthen community; we must assert accountability through common law courts since their courts exist just to perpetuate their power.

On my show tomorrow, The Spiritual Politician, we will be talking with John Judge, formerly with Representative Cynthia McKinney, about each of the issues that hold us on the grids and how to build exits that all of us can use.


Freedom: You don't have it until you give it away to everyone.


John Judge is a mine of information. There is a lot of information out there already about how to exit the grids. We are going to put all that information up here for now. We are now working on a wiki to make all Exit Points, be they how to organize for local disasters, how to grow food, how to organize a food cooperative, how to stop using Grid Electricity, how to transition to a non-fiat local economy and you get the picture. If you want to help, get in touch. The most revolutionary thing about this effort is that we will build a network: no centralization of power allowed.
