Great move!! In many ways, we need to do this. As I wrote in your telegram group, I'm not as positive about blockchain as you are (due to what I've read from Catherine Austin Fitts, who is brilliant and 100% on our side and into our making our own communities). I am 100% into our making our own communities and connections. At some point, we no longer need or desire or are willing to keep proving the proven (the dangers of the injections, etc), we need to put our energies into what gives us life.

Joel, I asked after you at the Better Way Conference where I met Clare Craig. I thought you might be there. I have followed your sage advice and words of wisdom since the beginning of covid. It is hard to say farewell to you. So I will only say thank you. You will be missed on substack. Even though I read the same evidence regarding the dangerous experimental biologicals, in different format, by numerous researchers, doctors and scientists, I always look for your confirmation. It is hard to accept your departure from substack. I have saved all your posts. You are a friend I never met in person, but so pleased to have known you.

Re blockchain

I understand IBM and others are into it. As if they would a large mass to attain freedom. Nothing is more dangerous to control and tyranny than to allow freedom to flourish somewhere as freedom inspires oppressed people to aspire for it.

Joel, you’re among the cleverest people who I’ve been lucky enough to have jogged alongside for a while, early on in this crime!

I recall you & I had internally calibrated acceptance levels for when we weren’t willing any longer to play a diplomatic, long game and, to pursue different furrows, departed the prior team upon realisation that massed vaccination was associated with a pulse of deaths that we both considered highly likely to be causal. You took a helluva lot of flak over it. Since with Wolfgang Wodarg in December 2020, I’d already nailed my colours to the mast, I copped plenty, too,

I’m not fit & well enough to even want to cope long term outside of what passes for civilisation. I suffer chronic pain which is just manageable provided I have access to the meds which work for me & provided I have a reasonably stable environment in which I can adequately enough handle the personal care levels I must do to remain stable

If the wheels fall off, I want enough time to decide what I’m going to do: a few months at most, I’m reckoning.

It’s partly because there’s absolutely nothing for me if we all go down that I don’t mind what I say or do, provided I can justify my interpretations, inferences, conclusions & prognoses. I’ve never been physically brave but I could never stand injustices. There’s nothing they can do to intimidate me. It’s easier to be straightforward when you can see the end of the line!

One serious concern I have about even the best run independent communities is this. If I’m right that a bunch of psychopathic elites intend to launch (or rather, conclude) the 4th IR (& likely then depopulate), won’t the perpetrators simply tap up & take over, at their leisure?

I like the overall idea of a sustainable community without state intervention or control. I don't like using electronic instruments like blockchain to enforce rights and contracts. The recent collapse of bitcoin and the other crypto currencies and the fact that many crypto market makers are totally insolvent means that all the money you turn into blockchain electrons may be gone forever, depending on the needs and whims of the admin.

Sounds interesting although I don’t understand enough about blockchain and crypto to see how that fits in with establishing local agriculture in small communities. Personally, my husband and I are escaping the big city to a 2 acre property where we plan on growing some food and having room to breathe. Parallel community/structures outside of the centralized government is what we hope to also tap into

I would be interested but have already committed through permaculture design.

Keep up the interesting ideas!

"Obtain land in a country with inalienable land rights"

Does such a country exist in this world?

I love the idea. There’s a main plank missing & it’s Defence. People behave better when they know rules are kept. And communities can’t relax if they feel that invasion is likely.

Interesting. I long ago wrote a business plan with a friend, Nick Raumm, for such a community, a project we called SUN, Sustaining Universal Needs. I am going to see Nick this weekend and next week, at Placke Organic Farm in southern Wisconsin, which he and his wife Kelly operate.

What you are talking about sounds like the theory of anarchy maturing, which I am writing about currently. I will be eager to hear about your progress.

At 420ppm CO2, loss of polar ice, loss of Gulf Stream, loss of jet-stream, loss of Ocean fish, loss is pollinators, loss of fresh water, loss of land fill, loss of topsoil, loss of energy, loss of biodiversity, loss of Amazon, spillover of diseases from land reclamation, loss of supply chains, loss of global order, loss of social cohesion, resource wars for water and oil etc. We are no longer talking about the luxury of choice, we are talking about the loss of options and inevitable transition from socially driven systems to binary systems that do not need to breath air, aka, China’s surveillance state. Think Uyghurs!

This very interesting. I am intending to do my own research, but can you give some specific examples of small communities like this that are working?

"a country with inalienable land rights"?

Great idea, but remember that people can always make rules that make living independently impossible. I was amazed at all the anti off grid rules that sprang up for tiny homes.

Yeah. Great. For those with money and skills to run away. I feel upset when I hear such suggestions. Go. Off you go. Leave those who can’t afford land in another country, or even to travel like that let alone the cost of the ‘start up’,; leave them to fight the battle alone. Leave behind the elderly, the infirm, the weak, and vulnerable. Go. Save yourselves. Great plan.

We can’t leave these people operating. Do you think they’ll just stop? We all have to stand and fight this together.
