  Are We In The Middle Of A Planned Revolution? Yes. “Day 93 under the dome.  With necessities growing dangerously low, who knows what spark will set off this powder keg?” –  The Simpsons Movie I saw two men in matching outfits so I asked them if they were gay.  Turns out that doesn’t make the NYPD happy. A phenomenon that has sweep the world in the early 21 st  century has been the “Color Revolution”.  This is characterized by a “grassroots” movement whose aim was theoretically to create a liberal Western democracy on the European model.  An example would be most Western European countries, with the exception of the Islamic Caliphate of France. What methods were used in these “peaceful” revolutions? Leadership by Non-Governmental Organizations Civil Disobedience Civil Disorder/Disobedience/Protests Total Lack of Chill Use of the Internet to Organize Heavy “Student” Participation When I read that list, I see a single conclusion:  the CIA did it, s...

Thanks to ozarkmichael for writing this essay... Lenin's Disdain: The 1920 pamphlet on the relationship between Communists and the Proletariat.     by OzarkMichael In 1917 the bold Putilov factory workers (whose strike in 1905 spread throughout the nation and almost toppled the Tzar twelve years earlier) went on strike for better working and living conditions. This 1917 strike helped start the Russian revolution, the eventual result of which was Lenin and his Bolshevik party seizing power.   Two years later, in 1919, even though the Bolsheviks have gained power, the working conditions were worse instead of better for the Putilov workers. They did not have enough food rations, so once again the bold Putilov factory workers went on strike. They wanted the same rations as Bolshevik party members, or at least as good as Red Army soldiers. In response Lenin ordered a massacre of the workers by his newly formed pet agency, the Cheka, so 200 workers were shot without trial pour ...

Revolutions have a funny characteristic: they're unpredictable. The general assumption is that revolutions are political. The revolution some foresee in the U.S. is the classic armed insurrection, or a coup or the fragmentation of the nation as states or regions declare their independence from the federal government. By focusing on the compelling drama of political upheaval we're missing the real revolution, which is social and economic: the Great Resignation , a global movement which in the U.S. has largely unrecognized American characteristics . The Great Resignation is the real revolution which few if any recognize. The status quo is going to great lengths to dismiss it, for example, The Great Resignation: Historical Data and a Deeper Analysis Show It’s Not as Great as Screaming Headlines Suggest , because this revolution is not controllable with force and is therefore unstoppable. The sources of the revolution are in plain sight: you rig the economy to enrich...

The collapse of western bourgeois democracy. Why and what comes next? Toby Rogers I’m still chewing on this line from Giorgio Agamben’s book,  Where are we now? The epidemic as politics  (to read my earlier book review click  here ). Agamben’s thesis, repeated throughout the book, is that: We are experiencing the end of an era in the political history of the West, the era of bourgeois democracy founded on constitutions, on rights, on parliaments, and on the division of powers. This model was already facing a crisis: constitutional principles were increasingly being ignored, and the executive power had almost entirely replaced the legislative by operating — as it now does exclusively — through legislative decrees [aka “executive orders”]. With the so-called pandemic, things went further: what American political analysts called the “Security State” — which was established in response to terrorism — has now given way to a health-based paradigm of governance that we term “bio...

The 6 Components of Creating an American Free Market Network by Aden Tate The struggle on American soil to access necessities is challenging and will only continue to worsen. I believe there is a workaround to this, though: creating an American Free Market Network (AFMN). An AFMN is a concept for creating a more accessible and resilient community while still enabling you to purchase what you need to purchase. When the world at large refuses it to you, an AFMN will allow you to communicate with others. We already see this in France, the Philippines, Australia, Canada, and other countries across the globe. Business owners and others are denying people access to restaurants, grocery stores, and other sellers of goods simply because those people don’t have particular papers. Teachers and children are having things forced upon them. Employees throughout those countries are as well. Here are the components of what an American Free Market Network entails. #1 Local food free market network It’...
