Freedom Agenda 21 – Agorism in the New Year
Mike Swatek
“Resolve to serve no more and you are at once free.”
Etienne de la Boetie, On Voluntary Servitude
Each of us can easily expand our fight for individual freedom in the new year. You can do many of the things shared below. In a nutshell, this includes anything, big or small, which weakens the state, its crony corporations or its global financial power-mad masters, altogether herein called, “the beast”.
If we all resolve to do this, we will become freer, especially in our own lives.
Whenever you buy or sell something, first consider doing so in the real free-market, also known as the Agora. Every time you avoid feeding or obeying the beast, without harming any individual, you’re an agorist. Going forward, let’s all do much more for our freedom, in as many of the ways described below as possible, and beyond.
Near Your Home
Always eat, shop and hire services at locally owned businesses, avoiding big corporations and their franchises. Pay with cash, silver or some other non-banking system method. Talk to the owner about accepting other payments. Ask if they need help getting set up with crypto and do what you can to help.
Support and get to know people selling at road side markets, garage sales, etc. They’re probably avoiding taxes and should be encouraged to continue starving the beast. Talk about what each of you have to trade and what kind of non-banking system payments you each use. Discuss barter possibilities. Maybe you can start them toward crypto or help their understanding of the importance of silver as real money.
Find things you need locally on CraigsList.org, especially from those who accept crypto.
Also, sell things you no longer need in these ways, or gift them to the needy. This expands the agora and reduces sales of large corporations. For larger items, like a house, learn how to sell it yourself and offer a discount based on the portion of payment outside the banking system, like gold verified as real.
Create an agorist market for your locale. Find a property you can use for a day or two, either with owner permission or temporarily homestead stolen property claimed by government or a bank, preferably with someplace nearby to go potty. You could get a port-a-potty and ask for donations. Get the word out to your community, preferably with nobody in charge.
Then, if a state tax thief shows up, nobody is who they can talk to about their BS. If it goes well at that location, do it again, possibly on a regular schedule. Otherwise find a new spot, maybe every time, or even flash markets. Whatever you do, don’t be deterred from making your agorist market happen.
Start your own small business, avoiding involvement with government and the banking system. Determine what you can profitably make, trade or provide. If you have a job which deducts taxes, start a side gig which might eventually free you from being a tax slave. There are a multitude of possibilities.
Consider what you like to do that could be profitable, plus make you happy, which is the most important thing of all. Divert time away from non-productive things toward finding opportunity.
If you already have a business, start accepting more non-banking system forms of payment like silver, crypto and barter. Offer discounts for non-bank payments as encouragement.
If you sell your services for bank payments, resulting in IRS 1099 forms, offer a discount in exchange for no 1099 reporting, so you both come out ahead. It’s even better if they can somehow otherwise claim the expense below the 1099 limit.
Some people provide receipts from various business names to support both parties’ objectives. Given a choice between IRS reported income, or a lower paying agorist opportunity, choose the latter which may actually pay you more in the end, plus starves the beast as a bonus. Over time, your goal may be achieved to become an entirely agorist business.
Avoid banking system debt. It feeds the beast even more than taxes, with high interest on totally counterfeit money (the fractional reserve requirement became 0% this year). If you need to borrow for an opportunity with a good return on investment, look for honest lenders or partners in the agora. It’s a growing thing.
Building on your own land can be a wonderful agorist endeavor for your individual freedom. It’s best to do this outside of any town, in places where there are no building or occupancy permit unjust laws. You can do it in a low cost, strong and very energy efficient manner which frees you from debt, regulations and most taxes.
The author has studied just about every building method and the best way to do this, by far, is with AirCrete. An excellent comprehensive resource for how to build your own is the video course at TinyGiantLife.biz which costs only $70. These are not necessarily tiny, with a two story 30-foot dome having over 1100 feet of livings space.
Things you can do to further improve efficiency are: arctic rated windows, provide air through a duct to a wood stove and don’t use flooring because it insulates against the temperature of the earth which provides summer cooling. Collect and store rainwater to avoid the cost and permits of a well (remember, “unjust law”, like prohibiting rainwater collection, “is no law at all”).
Use Vermicomposting with standard low-flow flush toilets which also provide nutrients and water for a deep mulch garden which requires little water and is easy to maintain, plus can avoid permits and fees (VermicompostingToilets.net).
If you build efficiently enough, totally off-grid solar power becomes feasible, avoiding easements and smart meters. Consider nickle-iron (Iron Edison) batteries for your solar which can last a lifetime, making the added cost an excellent investment.
If you build totally out of view of the road and keep a gate closed at all times, starting before construction, you can avoid tax assessors and only pay raw land valued property taxes. After you learn to do some or all of this, you can even turn it into an agorist business, doing so for others.
Learn how to use crypto with privacy, making it virtually impossible for the beast to track and tax your transactions. The first step is learning about KYC (know your customer) requirements for personal information which a large majority of crypto financial services conform with. Then, avoid all those services and find others who don’t require KYC. They are out there, requiring only an email address to set up, which can be a single use one only accessed on a secure PC from Protonmail, Tutanota or others which require no identification.
Keep your primary crypto wallet addresses on your own devices completely separate from your identity, not using 2-factor authorization to a phone or email associated with you. Trading with individuals in person, exchanging crypto for cash or other cryptos, is excellent for privacy. Then start using the only privacy cryptocurrencies which obscure your identity by default, ARRR (PirateChain) and XMR (Monero).
Transferring non-privacy crypto, with non-KYC exchanges or individuals, through a privacy crypto, will let you safely move in and out of wallets associated with you. Continue to learn more about maintaining private communications, possibly with a separate encrypted Linux PC or a bootable privacy USB stick for your most sensitive things, and apply that to how you use crypto too.
Get your savings out of the banking system and Wall Street while you still can, especially IRAs, 401Ks, and any other pension funds. It’s at considerable risk there and directly feeds the beast. All states eventually confiscate retirement funds by forcing purchase of their debt, when nobody else is willing to buy it, on its way to becoming worthless.
The 2011 Cyprus “bail-in” confiscated deposits from bank accounts, setting a precedent which can now happen anywhere, regardless of FDIC “insurance”. Cash is also risky and can become worthless overnight, when the state changes the money to go more cashless, as India did, and then requires proof of it being “legal” to convert.
Far safer investments are productive or useful physical things in your physical possession which have historically held value, especially in SHTF situations, like: silver, gold, guns, ammo, dried foods, etc.
Self-directed IRAs and 401Ks are allowed to invest in gold and silver, and these items may be stored in safes in the home of the individual, which is far better than having digital money stored with TIAA CREF or the like. A good further diversification would be the best privacy cryptocurrencies, or Bitcoin (BTC) bought using them without any KYC, in a wallet on your device protected from any association with you. Remember, crypto may become unavailable when internet isn’t available. So, hold other things too.
Invest in yourself. Learn skills needed to prosper in the agora. Convert unproductive time to good use. Grow a food garden and explore permaculture, which you can even do this in national forests and some state parks.
Raise and process your own meat. Become a beekeeper. Determine what you can forage, catch or hunt nearby. Preserve food. Be your own plumber or electrician. Design and print 3-D items. Do carpentry, metalworking, locksmithing, ammo reloading or gunsmithing for example.
Teaching skills is another opportunity. Diversify your skills. If it interests you and can help your finances or self-sufficiency, learn to do it and then maybe turn it into an agorist venture.
Beyond the obvious, interactions you have with fellow agorists create other possibilities. When you meet people, take the time to visit and get to know each other’s offerings, skills and needs. They probably don’t even realize they’re an agorist, fighting for our freedom. Also, learn about other agorists from them. This networking will grow your circle of opportunities and support.
Promote use of Cell411 to provide mutual support when needed and enhance the sense of community. If you decide to form groups of kindred spirits, consider the Freedom Cells approach and encourage others to do the same.
A growing decentralized network of cells makes it easier for people to prosper and envision life without the beast.
Out of Your Area
Whenever you travel, watch for the opportunities described above. Wherever you are, support the local agora.
Freedom festivals with agorist markets are great, inspirational opportunities. A gathering of people who understand and abide by the non-aggression principle, with spontaneous order allowed to prevail, is an amazing experience. A list of these festivals is included at Agorist.Market/Categories/Markets.html, including: ForkFest/PorcFest, MidFest, Jackalope Freedom Festival and others.
Freedom communities are a growing thing. Perhaps the best known is the Free State Project in New Hampshire (FSP.org). A vacation there will immerse you in the largest concentrated agorist community in what is currently known as United States. Others are emerging, like VALIANT in the western Ozarks, and should be sought out for their agorist opportunities and possibly a new place to live.
Agorist.Market , Connecting Counter-Economy Buyers With Sellers, is a project which took off on Black Market Friday. You’ll find many agorist sellers and providers there, plus links to other such sites. If you have continuous agorist offerings, you can list there for free.
It’s now expanded with the new ShopAgorist feature for listings of limited time or availability, like CraigsList, for agorists. After agorists are connected, they deal directly, with nobody in the middle, as it should be. AgoristMarket has a discussion group on Telegram to learn more. For maximum visitor security, Agorist.Market has no script, cookies/tracking or even the ability to detect your device. So, you may need to turn your phone sideways for proper viewing.
Resolve To Be Free
In the new year, let’s all resolve to use agorism much more in our fight for freedom. Dive in as deep as you can, locally and beyond. We have the numbers to seriously begin weakening the beast and become unstoppably free. To make it happen, every one of us is important. Please, begin taking more action, today!
Together, let’s grow our freedom, and more importantly, that of our children.

Protest and Arrests at ‘Speakers Corner’ in the UK – 2nd of Jan 2021https://www.bitchute.com/video/he3w4n135Hcu/
About the question of whether it was the Capitalists who created the (so called) Communist regimes and for what benefit. It’s a long post but I hope you’ll find it worth the time. In his introduction to the 1977 reedition of Frederick C. Howe’s Confessions of a Monopolist (1906), Antony Sutton writes: Frederic Howe’s Confessions of a Monopolistis the story of a man who stumbles upon the secret of power politics and the modus operandi of the financial elite. Although written 71 years ago, Howe’s book is as relevant and revealing today as the day it was written in 1906. This is the saga of the fascinating lure of something for nothing, of making the other fellow pay, a universally tempting creed polished by the corporate monopolists and adopted by the demogogues of all stripes and hues to capture the commanding heights of society. In sum, Howe portrays the art… Read more »
Somehow I’m not getting to post the rest of the comment, perhaps for its length. I’ll give it another try tomorrow.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York was at 120 Broadway. The vehicle for this pro-Bolshevik activity was American International Corporation-at 120 Broadway. AIC views on the Bolshevik regime were requested by Secretary of State Robert Lansing only few weeks after the revolution began, and Sands, executive secretary of AIC, could barely restrain his enthusiasm for the Bolshevik cause. Ludwig Martens, the Soviet’s first ambassador, had been vice president of Weinberg & Posner, which was also located at 120 Broadway. Guaranty Trust Company was next door at 140 Broadway but Guaranty Securities Co. was at 120 Broadway. In 1917, Hunt, Hill & Betts was at 120 Broadway, and Charles B. Hill of this firm was the negotiator in the Sun Yat-sen dealings. John Mac-Gregor Grant Co., which was financed by Olof Aschberg in Sweden and Guaranty Trust in the United States, and which was on the Military Intelligence black list,… Read more »
This is the continuation of the post above. Let’s see if it can find its way to the site. Skipped the remaining quotes to keep it short but you can get Sutton’s book and see all the evidence (a copy can be downloaded at z-lib.org) that: Capitalists DID create the so called Communist regimes, at least Soviet Russia and and the regimes in the countries under Russian influence, by financing it. Why did capitalist do that? Because if there is anything certain about Capitalism is its tendency to always expand. Russia was a fresh market yet to be exploited, and by financing and supporting in any other way the Reds whose leadership has shown a tendency toward a vanguard management of the population through the apparatus of the state (contrary to the Greens who were ex-Reds anarchists), the Capitalists put the Bolsheviks in their debt and were expecting as a… Read more »
I see the second post did come out after all with all the quotes. Thanks! If you wish you can remove this and the above comment.
So, why then would 14 capitalist nations including the US send money, weapons materiel and even thousands of troops to support the White army (counter-revolutionary forces)? The White army was generously funded (which had to involve the banks) while the Bolsheviks has to invent and scrape by with what ever they could?
Monopolists have no allegiance to any particular ideology or way of organising societies; their only interest is theit pocket; also sometimes they have temporary contradicting interests; so they may very well have financed both movements at first; that would be hardly surprising: sell arms to both parties of a civil war to slaughter each other. In this particular case however, Lloyd George and his allies were against Germany, hence against the Red (Lenin and Trotsky were believed to be in the German pay so that they could seize power and arrange for a separate Germano-Russian peace, and Sutton provided evidence that this was true) and therefore for the Whites which gives credit to your statement that these were financed. However, by late 1917, Thompson had a documented meeting with Lloyd George at the War Cabinet during which the latter switched positions. The arguments by which the Prime minister let himself… Read more »
So capitalists created communism and directed the Bolsheviks?
There’s a massive amount history that contradicts that. Are you then dismissing all of Trotsky and Lenin’s voluminous writing as the propaganda of capitalist stooges? Why would they bother then?
On the last part, are you referring to Nestor Makhno?
Of course Capitalists didn’t create Communism/Socialism, if we adopt the original meanings of these words. Socialism, Communism are precisely the historic movement against Capitalism and are incommensurable with it. The mistake we do, I think, is to believe that the Soviet Union, China, etc. were/are Communist countries; they call themselves Communists, but they are not and it’s not difficult to find that out. The first thing is that in a socialistic society there is no money or wage systems, and therefore no production for profit but for consumption. And is there a monetary and wage systems and production for profit in Russia and China, etc.? Of course. The only socialist communities I know of are the so called primitive societies that have not been infected with our modern civilization. Lenin would say: that’s very nice, a stateless, moneyless, society where everything is distributed according to need, but how do you… Read more »
Here’s an recent article that describes Sutton’s work as right wing propaganda. An excerpt from the beginning of the article by Max Perry (it should be noted that I don’t agree with him on his characterization of Trotsky): “There is a deceitful and ahistorical myth that frequently resurfaces in right-wing circles seeking to discredit socialism with lies about the Russian Revolution. No matter how many times it has been invalidated as fabrication, the reactionary mythos endures. As might be expected, the author is referring to the preposterous claim that American capitalists — or “Wall Street bankers” — secretly financed one of the most epochal political revolutions in world history which overthrew the Romanov dynasty and ended the Russian Empire, leading to the establishment of the Soviet Union. One would be hard pressed to find anyone on the political left who has not encountered this mendacious propaganda which has a few… Read more »
@Victor G https://off-guardian.org/2021/01/01/freedom-agenda-21-agorism-in-the-new-year/#comment-297304 “I get the impression “Agorism” is for only the most vigorous senior citizens.” Well, five minutes of thinking things through leads any “senior citizen” (or really clued-in kid) to realize that Google Maps doesn’t conveniently skip over your neat little hiding spaces “in the wilderness”… those are just as mapped as anywhere else (and the nicer they are, the more likely they are to be commandeered for some rich fucker’s use). Agorists remind me of my air-headed Hippie friends in college… the ones who “hid” their stashes in fucking cigar boxes under their fucking beds. Who would look there, right? Sooner or later you will be spotted by drones, chum, and dealt with. And any Agorists who form “self-sufficient” communities should probably search YouTube for “Branch Davidians Compound Fire”. The only “hope” is to wake up enough fence-sitters in order to form enough of a block of… Read more »
Hi, Steve! You sound like a pretty with-it fellow (though perhaps a bit pessimistic and cynical. I know, it happens to all of us older folks). If you have the time and/or inclination you can study the Italian WWII resistance movement. It helps if you speak Italian when getting close to the primary resources. Some things work and other don’t. If you don’t want to experiment or fight then accept your overlords. Funny that is was ole Musso who said “Better one day as a Lion than one hundred years as a Sheep”. Get a grip, Steve, old chum. Mike and his kind are not sheep and will last more than one day. They are not “fence-sitting”. They’re probably not “Incels” (cool gals go for guys who make efforts and look forward). There’s no reason to conclude that Agorists will not participate when the “numbers” protest and fight back. And… Read more »

I wonder if the small remaining number of people living in tribes with little or no contact with the outside world, mainly in the Amazon and Papua New Guinea, will be left out of the totalitarian surveillance world state whose construction appears to be underway. If so, joining them, assuming they will have us, could be a way out – perhaps the only one if nobody else is exempted.
The present stage seems to be entrenching the legitimacy and sole authority of the self-appointed globalists. That means ensaring the urban majority. Seeking out and enlisting rural and aborigine peoples – easy with drones, satellites, etc. – can come later.
Freedom communities? Ask indigenous peoples how that’s been working lately for them (if you can still find any). Heading for the hills to escape the chains of civilization has been a bourgeois idyll ever since the ‘free market’ was born in “blood and dirt” (Marx). La Boetie’s sentiments notwithstanding, poor, working class stiff that I am, I’m not all at once free when I resolve to serve no one, not least of all because I still have to eat. I may momentarily feel free when I go to the mom-and-pop corner grocery (if I can still find one in this food desert) to barter my next meal just to save what meager monetary means I have from my wage slave precarious labor, while they’re still working within their regulatory imprisonment to offer non-GMO products from local farmers (if they can still find them) and set up alternative currency exchange without… Read more »
Food, clothing, shelter, energy, transportation are all things that if we work with others of similar mindset, wherever we are, we can control to a greater degree than by exclusively operating within the terminally collapsing global capitalist system. As many others have pointed out here, corona circus is the reactionary, fairly inevitable result of the centuries long concentration of wealth and power; there are only 2600 psycopathic billionaires, we have community based power wherever we remove a need they provide. 99.75% of human history has been a ‘bourgeois idyll’ (check out Marshall Sahlins Stone Age Economics or Pierre Clastres Society Against the State, or James C. Scott’s most recent amazing book, Against the Grain). The challenge is hierarchy and as we all know here a growing techno-fascist-totalitarianism. None of what the author says here is predicated on a complete break; we need to do what we can where we can,… Read more »
Sahlins, Richard Lee, Stanley Diamond (‘civilization originates in conquest abroad and repression at home’)…right on. They’re describing what Marx and Engels, in now politically incorrect language, called ‘primitive communism’. And where I think they get things right in doing their own evolutionary anthropology is to emphasize, without mechanical reductionism of such sort as enforced under Stalinism, the economic determinants of the range of libertarian/egalitarian vis-a-vis primarily class hierarchical conditions necessary, not sufficient, to explain human history, ruling class ideologies about human nature, held fast in subjection to divine law or red in tooth and claw, notwithstanding. The ‘original affluent society’ was a result of foraging societies enabling minimal labor in self-contained kinship community (so they may “hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon…”*). And capitalist class societies create hyper-hierarchical social systems via increasingly privatized and monopolized ownership of the means of existence, including human labor reduced to atomized units… Read more »
Well said…I really appreciate your insight. I need to chew on it. Hopefully they don’t close this thread, it’s a good one….
Well this is an interesting development. I just caught an interview on the Beeb concerning those who just weren’t taking this covid seriously enough. There was a guy who looked like he was of Indian descent. I didn’t catch his name, but he was, I believe, someone in the “Intensive Care Society” railing against those sceptics and rubbishing social media and answering questions on how to just just just get people to understand. He recommended bringing in members of the public to see the devastating scenes in the ICU wards etc. But it was the first indication I’ve seen on TV that something exists outside the end-of-days covid rap.
What do you see it as meaning? Are you thinking the ICUs are full of people dying of Covid because this guy says so?
ICUs are often full, especially in winter. The only way of telling the people in their with pneumonia ‘have Covid’ is with a test not fit for the purpose that can’t diagnose infections.
You have to stop and think about the fact that they claimed that “Covid” somehow “eradicated” the seasonal Flu and then cleverly took on all of said Flu’s symptoms and stats… and some people bought this? TFIC clearly know some things about “the human mind” (or a subset thereof) that we do not. My only hope lies in my suspicion that TFIC are faking the magnitude of the dupe-able demographic and we’re all just waiting, in a highly unstable Emperor’s New Clothes Stand-Off, for the penny to drop. And when it drops we will fucking explode.
Its amazing to me with the amount of time spent pissing and moaning(myself included) about alternative methods of living on the interwebs, they could have potentially fashioned or pursued many of the above suggestions, or at the very least made some very valuable human connections. The more humans get out and stir up positive energy and physically connect, the better off their whole situation will be. Like I said, great information on this website and I value everyone here, but real change does not happen in this electronic web alone and too much of it is detrimental.

What kind of humans come up with this shit? non-humans…the entire thing is an anti-human agenda.
What the “official” Left must advocate in this situation is total acquiescence which they then try to present as “civil disobedience”. For them the virus is deadly, therefore all of the instructions coming from the media on e.g. masking up, social distancing, staying at home as much as possible etc. must be followed. The necessary outcome of this is keeping your head down and doing nothing. Thus this Left are telling us to do what the media are also telling us to do. The WSWS has laughably tried to present a veneer of rebellion by implying – or even saying outright – that the media is trying to cover it all up. They have presented this desperate self-erasure as bold revolution. Meanwhile, nothing happens apart from an increasing sinking into inactivity, despair, loneliness, mounting levels of anxiety – and an increasingly impotent voyeuristic existence tied to the television (the internet… Read more »

“Primary schools reopening: Call for remote learning as Covid cases rise”
I suggest (as if I had to) that the BBC append the words “as Covid cases rise” to every single article from now on.
With the PCR Ouija boards always at the ready, this apocalyptic pandemic can be guaranteed an indefinite run from now till the end of time.
Perhaps some of you have seen this. It is a chart (WHO data) showing the virtual elimination of incidence of influenza (all strains), virtually simultaneous with the sudden increase in Covid .Since late April it seems that there are almost zero cases of influenza.
Now how could you possibly explain that hmmm?

Another example of the old pincer movement whereby sceptics are linked to the Right Wing: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/jan/01/false-hope-pandemic-dangerous-disinformation One professor Karol Sikora has emerged as a covid sceptic. There’s little point in digging through this bit of scepticism trashing since it has all become tediously familiar (with obligatory “inarguable” Ouija board death numbers etc.) The interesting bit is this: Why has Sikora been so systematically signal-boosted by media outlets throughout the crisis? Any cursory exercise of due diligence should have set off alarm bells. Back in 2009, Imperial College London took legal advice to prevent Sikora from claiming he had an honorary professorship there, with its rector declaring: “This individual has been warned before by the college for making claims that he is employed by us” In the past, he has appeared in rightwing attack ads in the United States condemning the NHS, in which he claims patients have “lost control over… Read more »

Great idea. Petrol on the fire.
I work as a freelance translator and I agree that freelancing beats wage-slavery and capitalism in its current stage is making it easier than ever before to become self-employed. However, I somehow doubt this will be the case in the order powerful global forces seem to be pushing towards, i.e. the post-fourth industrial revolution world to use the WEF’s terminology. Unlike people in many sectors, my microbusiness remains in good shape at present (despite claims that AI can now do translation as well as humans). Business came to a halt in April and May this year, and continued to be sparse in the first half of June but demand has been healthy for the rest of the year. It seems that home-located internet-based businesses such as mine have been spared the ravages suffered by bricks-and-mortar small business so far. Nevertheless, I can’t help feeling that this will not last. A… Read more »
I’m a freelance translator too. My business has been through some ups and downs this year, and I have to cut my rates here and there, but I made exactly the same as the year before, which means that I actually had more work. As much as I don’t like to admit it, AI can do a pretty good job on translation, but clients a) don’t know it, b) wouldn’t know how to make things work and/or don’t want to bother, c) AI is not bulletproof – you still need somebody to look the stuff over. The fact that people’s attention span is getting shorter and shorter, which translates into (pun intended) shorter and shorter texts, is more of a threat. Thankfully, legal documents are still as long as ever, allowing me to survive. Quite comfortably, actually. All you need is a computer, power supply, and Internet. You sell brainpower.… Read more »
I don’t know what languages you are translating between; perhaps machine translation between Indo-European languages is approaching the point where AI can do an approximately adequate job. However it going to be some time before translation between eg., Mandarin and English is anywhere near adequate. Let me explain the method that many Chinese students studying English use when preparing their graduation theses: They find an article in Mandarin dealing with the topic of their thesis, …. cut, paste, translate using Baidu translation or Googe translate, send the results to me, beg, offer money, cry, etc., in an attempt to get me to turn the results into English. The translated results that they send me is just page after page of complete gobbeldygook. Of course I always refuse them, but it’s likely that they can find someone on the internet to perform the task for them. Thus you get hundreds of… Read more »
That’s actually good for my business. If people are unable to speak English or foreign languages. My experience where I live is different though. English proficiency has improved dramatically in the past decades. Anyway, it would be good for the world if English had opposition in being the lingua franca. English is conducive to certain ways of thinking, which might yield good results in some situations, but it’s always good to have an alternative. Or so says the Gemini in me. The infestation of the world with English and the inherent spread of the rather aggressive and in many ways endlessly stupid American pop culture are one of the causes of the shift toward uniformity, dull sameness, conventionalism. BTW, I don’t use machine translation. Even for texts where it could probably do the trick, or be helpful. Most of the stuff I do commands a certain degree of creativity, which… Read more »

There is no pandemic. Quite the reverse. People are getting healthier as a bright future manifests and pharma took desperate action to try and find more victims.
Hello Sarah Jones: Nearly every member of my immediate family has been physically destroyed or incapacitated by the effects of pharmaceutical medications. Multiple nieces and nephews have been turned into emotionally flat zombies by taking drugs such as Ritalin, Adderall, Wellbutrin (bupropion), and many more. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and persons “practicing” allopathic medicine are indiscriminate entrepreneurs of wholesale butchery.
This young woman is desperately searching for a way out of the industrial Matrix. I feel sad for her and the generations to follow.

It’s like my youngest daughter, she was a bright bubbly kid, then in late teens got diagnosed with depression and prescribed pills. Then it changed to bi-polar with pills for that. What happened?

Unfortunately, my gut feeling suspects the legal route may not work since it is part of the same apparatus imposing lockdown, which means it’s not impartial

Don’t the courts in common-law countries basically apply common law? Common law takes precedence over written statute in such jurisdictions. If there is an issue, it must be that common law is being applied incorrectly.

@Arby https://off-guardian.org/2021/01/01/freedom-agenda-21-agorism-in-the-new-year/#comment-296980 All I know is that communism has ZERO to do with covid 1984. I’m sorry if people who have made capitalism their religion hate to face the fact that their religion is false (and evil and has resulted in widespread terror and destruction), but it is what it is. “Communism” was invented by a son of the haute bourgeoisie of Europe. Marx was related to bankers on one side of the family and powerful industrialists on the other; he married into that class, as well, and was honored with posthumous memorials in the famously NOT Communist city of London, where he was buried quite respectfully. “Communism” is a Capitalist tool with many uses, and though the “spirit” that it pretends to sing with is noble (the equality of all humankind), the Reality is quite different, just like any number of clever lies spoken by psychopaths delivering political speeches… Read more »

A very good comment, Steven. Marx was, indeed, an agent of the ruling classes. How elaborate are their schemes! Their cunning knows no bounds. And no country has gone untouched by their insanity.
During this fake pandemic, I’ve been forced to face up to the fact that I was mistaken about certain people I’d previously held in the highest esteem. Fidel Castro, for example. Was he an agent of those who run the world, too? There’s compelling evidence which points in that direction.
There are numerous others who fall into the same category. It’s very hard to take, but we have to go wherever the evidence may lead us.

PAUL: Again, with regard to your first paragraph-statement, I’ve never said they didn’t. But note your second para – it’s Vietnam that gets attacked, not Cuba! How come?

That’s a very interesting thread, Steven. I’ve just read the first page of it (and have bookmarked it so that I can read some more of it).
Re: the (alleged) assassination plots against Castro. On average, there was one of them per month during the half-century in which he was in power. The CIA only had to get it right once. But they couldn’t manage it!

This is pretty convoluted logic, suggesting that communism (Second World kind) was installed by capitalists. What exactly would be the purpose? How did they benefit from 50 years of it? If anything, communism in the Second World forced capitalists in the First World to make huge concessions to workers, so that they wouldn’t go the communist way too. Hence the welfare state, which has been eroding ever since the Second World disappeared. Communism certainly was hijacked by opportunists who used the totalitarian nature of Second World regimes to fuck people over and benefit from the privileged position, and it could be argued that Second World communism was more of state capitalism, but that’s a secondary effect. BTW, like Marx, my grandfather was a privileged man from a very rich family. Yet, he was one of the leaders of the communist avant-garde in the 1930s. Certainly not in the employ of… Read more »

Sorry, but today’s use of seemingly “socialist” or collectivist ideas to lure useful idiots into the Great Reset does not explain the attempt to install communism in the Second World. How exactly did the alleged people behind the scenes (capitalists) benefit from it?
“How exactly does the Great Reset explain a half of a century of socialism/communism in a substantial part of the world and the fact that it hindered capitalism in the other part of the world considerably?

I grew up in a “communist” country you dimwit.
And the average American grew up in America. Your point…? Your special insight…? Is… what?
Man, it sure would behoove you to follow the thread of the conversation; you asked me who turned me onto communism. I don’t know what the average American knows about capitalism as an economic/political system, or, say, von Hayek’s spontaneous order, which might be (one of) the basis for neoliberalist capitalism. Probably big shit. Even you might know big shit about it. The average person who grew up in the Second World know immeasurably more about communism/Marxism, having been taught about this subject extensively, you might say indoctrinated. Moreover, I’m not an average person. My grandfather was one of the leaders of the communist movement in the 1930s, and although he died in the WWII, grandma wouldn’t shut up about politics, and quite a bit of it rubbed off on me.

OK, so the world is not quite exactly what it appears to be. Communism, as implemented, was a far cry from the ideology. So is democracy (not just in the US, BTW). Now, alleging that the guys who pull the strings invented socialism/communism because they could foresee that a collectivist ideology would be spontaneously formed, potentially threatening their status, so they offered one in a preemptive fashion and over the course of several centuries concocted a situation at the end of which the said collectivist ideology discredited itself, allowing them to foist upon humanity neoliberalism and now exacerbate it with COVID, so as to usher in a techno-feudalism is pretty fucking farfetched. Why didn’t they go back to feudalism right away? Anyway, I have no doubt that there are motherfuckers who do nothing but scheme how to screw people over, how to be in control.

“I doubt though that thousands of years ago, the objective of imposing Christianity over the world was to transform man into machine through vaccination, an effort that is coming into fruition as we speak.” It would be convenient if I’d claimed such a thing, obviously (laugh) but I didn’t. In fact, I pointed out, recently, that as recently as 1940, for example, TFIC* could not possibly have foreseen the transistor/ microchip/ PC/ Internet revolution, which means that plans they foresaw as requiring further centuries, to enact, possibly, must have suddenly seemed within their grasp in the c. 1980s. Which means, I think, that the older members of TFIC must have started rushing things, a bit, lately, hoping to see THE GREAT WORK realized within their lifetimes (if they couldn’t be around for the “immortality serum” they’ve been hoping for since The Middle Ages, at least, perhaps, they could be around… Read more »
To give you the benefit of the doubt, as regards Lenin and the October Revolution, if the TFIC are as clever as implied, they would probably want communism to be installed by the Russians, rather than, say, the British or Americans, expecting that the crazy vodka drinking Russkies would fuck it up, which they in fact did, as opposed to the systematic and civilized=obedient Englishmen who would cement it in place, making things more inconvenient for the puppeteers … Hence, the free passage for Lenin …
You’re thinking more deviously already!
That’s about as far as I’m willing to budge. Insinuating that Marx was an imposter who concocted his ideology with the sole intention of discrediting, or discrediting collectivism in general, it is lunacy. On the other hand, I’m sure that the people in the office where they run everything from made provisions for various scenarios, including the eventuality that communism would spread into the West. Did that happen, they probably would have infiltrated the apparatchiks, risen to the top, and fucked over people as they always do. Another thing is that communism, namely its totalitarian nature, would have been a better vehicle for their existence anyways. They wouldn’t have to worry about winning elections, well, making sure that both or all candidates are properly bribed so as not to challenge the system. In fact, that’s what they’re doing now.

I’ve been to many communist countries and the people who lived there owned many things, and the things they owned lasted as they weren’t built with planned obsolescence. You speak bovine excrement my friend! The capitalists were shitting themselves when Russian revolution happened. Why did they invest so much in destroying it for over 70 years? The Bolsheviks had to borrow from the banksters as they were cut off from so many sources of finances by your beloved communist loving capitalists! It’ll be clearer to you after you read Gover Furr! https://msuweb.montclair.edu/~furrg/
It’s weird, but what I keep encountering is a profound naivety in people who are otherwise fairly clued-in; they realize TFIC are callous killers who think nothing of engineering national famines and genocides, and have deliberately precipitated every bloody war and brutal colonial invasion we know of for centuries … yet can’t grasp that these psychopaths are even bigger Liars than they are Killers, and the World (which is, after all, clearly under their violent-if-imperfect control, and has been since long before we were born) is based overwhelmingly on Deception.

It provided a faux opposition that would only “appear“ to counter their corrupt crony capitalism and debt slavery, but without challenging the economic model or monetary system and without exposing the plutocrats behind the tyranny.

Those true levers of power are always the central banks, governments and industry colluding, against their own citizens.

Amen, as they say, Brother!
Your reading of history is wrong. The situation we are in is the result of the disappearance of the Second World. Although Second World communism/socialism didn’t provide people with the living conditions the ideology promised, and although Second World regimes were authoritarian if not totalitarian, it did provide a high degree of social security. All that forced the capitalist First World to offer their populations enough welfare to prevent them from going the communist way as well. Hence the welfare state, all the social programs that existed between, say, 1960s-1990s, Once the communist bloc was defeated and socialism, communism – collectivist ideologies – discredited, these social programs have been eroding to the point of being nearly non-existent. And that’s the situation that we’re in. The allusion that bankers created communism in a half of the world so that there would be faux opposition is ludicrous. Why would they do that?… Read more »
Bullshit. Communism gave PEOPLE NOTHING! It took everything away from them.
What precisely do you know about that?
You mean like MIHOP…?
I mean that it’s pretty fucking convoluted logic.
What exactly was the purpose of communism allegedly installed by the capitalists? To make it more difficult for themselves to fuck people over?
Erm, you could have a go at actually reading my original comment before attempting to refute it… ? Thanks.
In a nutshell, you say that the capitalists invented communism or that some forces behind the scenes invented both to their alleged benefit. At least that’s what I was able to extrapolate from your rant.
It sounds like a bunch of crock to me, and I’ve therefore asked you to explain how the capitalists, or the people behind the scenes, have benefited from it.
If, however, your somewhat confused self is trying to say that what is known as communist regimes are in fact “state capitalist” regimes, I’d probably agree with you to significant extent.
That, however, is not because it was necessarily intended, but because opportunists have hijacked the regimes. I mean, you’re not trying to say that First World capitalists somehow benefited from communism (or state capitalism if you will) in Soviet Union? And if you are, you wanna explain exactly how?
It’s the same people running both charades, Jacques. It’s a scam. A con. A shell game.
They exploited the population more by seizing their land and property, individualism and spirituality and instead provided them with a bleak and meager existence. But now the bankers owned and controlled everything. They won. They controlled the world and they had manufactured a fake opposition, the Eastern bloc and communist countries that they used against the Western bloc, NATO alliance.
Except they own and control both blocs.
It’s a charade. A farce.
How and who exactly benefited from the First/Second World divide?
Have people the world over been fucked over by the PTB who happen to exercise power over them? Yes.
Were there the same people behind capitalism and communism? That’s a pretty wild assumption and unless I see some tangible evidence and some tangible benefits to some entity somewhere, I’ll have to reject it as delusion on the part of its proponent.
Goodgawd, man, are you serious? To say that you’re “out of your depth” in this conversation doesn’t begin to express the magnitude of the problem here. It’s like a 12-year-old virgin in a propeller-hat wandered in off the street into a Live Sex Club…

I don’t know. I like the fact that he ventures beyond the realm of the conventional, challenges established patterns. That’s always good.
I don’t know to what extent I subscribe to the notion that forces behind the scenes alone are shaping the world, but the fact that the world as perceived is a shell, to a large extent meaningless, is pretty accurate.
Most of the concepts people are bombarded with, such as democracy, freedom, don’t in reality exist or are very different from what an open-minded person might consider.
There probably are psy-op trolls here, maybe the whole website is a psy-op for what I know. Still, I find enough food for thought here to consider reading the stuff worthwhile.

You were repeatedly asking questions that have already been asked and answered on this site innumerable times. Yet you feign ignorance.
What questions? How exactly have they been answered? You’re referring to the communism/capitalism nonsense above?
Also, the beauty of an answer is in the eye of the ol’ beholder. An “answer” that might appear good enough to you, might not be good enough to me.
Live with it.
That Marx was bourgeois – and only a bourgeois would have had the time and eduction to do what he achieved at the time – is a crassly ad-hominem argument against his theories.
Miraculous that the Capitalists didn’t stop him while they could, eh? And then went so far as to help spread His message over the centuries, rather than bury it! Divine intervention…?
So why did the capitalists do it? They were in a dire need to have a half of the world to work against them?
I’m genuinely curious as to how you think China, for example, is working “against” Capitalism…? Beyond whatever slogans or speeches you dig up on The Internet, I mean.
Would you kindly elucidate what exact benefit did capitalists in the First World had from allegedly creating communism in the Second World.
We’ll deal with China today later.

One wonders if perhaps the cart came before the horse after all. These historical revisions regarding Communism, Marx, Mao, Castro et all, while indeed they could be accurate and much needed, could just as easily be Capitalism (via the CIA and its other minions) putting a good face on losses incurred in the course of its worldwide rampage. “Oh, they were all our dupes!” the capitalists might declare to save face. Remember that the ruling elites do not generally oppose that which appears innocuous – they don’t tip their hand if it’s not needed. And even though ideas of human rights were well established by the 19th Century, it is highly likely that the ideas proposed by Marx simply were not taken seriously. And, after all, as you point out, he was one of their own; so, of course, he could not have actually meant what he posited. He just… Read more »
“These historical revisions regarding Communism, Marx, Mao, Castro et all, while indeed they could be accurate and much needed, could just as easily be Capitalism (via the CIA and its other minions) putting a good face on losses incurred in the course of its worldwide rampage.” Except contemporaneous anomalies argue against that reading and more toward the realization that the “Communist vs Capitalist” dichotomy is the same trick as the “Democrat vs Republican” control tactic scaled up to the planet itself. Castro’s and Lenin’s strange history of last-minute, good luck, life-saving interventions, for example: both were “revolutionaries” that ordinarily would have been shot or hanged and forgotten by history very early in the process.

If these vaccines are so effective then surely the vaccination plan should be to give the vaccine to people who require hospital treatment for ‘covid’.
The vaccine would be by their own admission reducing their symptoms and they wouldn’t be required to go to ICU or receive oxygen and they would make a quick recovery.
Would they also not prioritise the vaccine for anyone who tests positive so it will reduce their symptoms as this would surely result in less hospitalisations.
Did no one in the medical industry not think of this.
The injection would probably kill them as would the “treatments” offered by the medical industry. Better to do the breathing, sun bathing, fresh fruits and salads, get rid of wifi/ cell phone radiation, do not watch/ read the black magic covid propaganda.
The idea behind a vaccine, as I understand it, is to stop you catching the disease. After this, anything that is done is treatment.
Has the sales pitch of these vaccines not been that they only reduce symptoms and don’t prevent infection or being able to transmit it
Indeed, so are they really vaccines?
I don’t think so.
They claim this mutant variant has changed the genetic code of the spike protein of the ‘virus’.
But we are told the vaccine was designed to fight the genetic code of the original spike protein.
So how exactly was the vaccine going to recognise the new genetic code.
According to them it just will but no scientific explanation has been given.
Also the genetic code of this spike protein was taken from a computer model and not from any pure virus isolate as they didn’t have any.
They’ve just glossed over it and hope that no one notices.
That’s the thing though. There’s been no categorical statement as to how effective they are, even by the liars who produced it.
The only thing they’re sure about is that it ‘might’ harm or even kill some. They can’t say it kills covid though or prevent it. If pressed too hard they say the virus is ‘mutating’ or is a ‘variant’.
So there’s even less chance. But governments will still be charged the same amount of money because those with money invested( pretending to be ‘donating’) in pharma want their profits and need the economies damaged too. Their idea of a win-win.
Despite having considerable time to plan for the vaccine rollout which was always going to happen they’ve managed the narrative of the vaccine deplorably.
Any critical analysis of this vaccine and one realises that nothing adds up.
As you say the only certain thing about this vaccine is side effects and death and yet the corrupt bastards are selling it as a bridge to normality.
As more and more people were questioning the pandemic narrative & a pushback from Tory backbenchers the timing of the announcement of the ‘mutant strain’ is most convenient and the claim it now effects kids and young adults.
All bases are now covered.
I believe the best brains they have were and are on the job and that the narrative has been handled with all the meticulous skill of a drunken juggler. I take it as a subtext. It’s saying : bring it on, do what you like try what you will- we are well and truly armed now. That’s the arrogance of total power. By analogy, if you walk into a bar alone and see 25 hard cases in there and challenge them to come at you- you’re dead meat. If you have a machine gun pointed at them- which one of them will make the first move ? That’s how you make numbers even.

Re Etienne de la Boetie: “To him, the great mystery of politics was obedience to rulers. Why in the world do people agree to be looted and otherwise oppressed by government overlords? It is not just fear, Boetie explains in the Discourse on Voluntary Servitude, for our consent is required. And that consent can be non-violently withdrawn.”
[Continued] We agree to our self-imposed servitude because Homo Sapiens is basically a social animal, happy to be part of a group and happy to follow a Leader. But, as this early-French-Renaissance lawyer says, our aquiescence is voluntary, and we are free (though not necessarily courageous enough) to withdraw it. This concept, I think, is the basis of a Graeco-Christian Ethic of Freedom under Law, inspired by the lives and sayings of its 2 great martyrs: Socrates of Athens and Yeshuah of Nazareth. At present we suffer from a lack of creativity: we see the injustice of this ever-encrouching Techno-Fascist system, but we have no concept of Freedom under Law in a technocracy.

Buy a pack of file cards & pin messages to you shirt of encouragement to others: “Are you awake too? Do you know they are lying to you?” “End the Lockdown.” “The PCR Test is a Fraud. See this Link (whatever link you like)” “There is no increased Mortality. See (Link)” Carry a few flyers for people who engage you in conversation– and they do, with the least encouragement. I pin flyers to trees and lightposts. I pass out lists of links and sites. After the merest pretext of conversation, “Is that good?” about some food item in his cart– I say, “You don’t believe this covid exaggeration, do you?” or “Do you have any idea what we should do about the lockdown?” Engage people in conversation everywhere; don’t let the mask put you off. 90% of everybody have great doubts about what’s happening & will effusively thank you for… Read more »

I was ready in the mid eighties, what took them so long? I bought a gamekeeper’s house in Lincolnshire by a wood with stables and two acres, down a farm track with no neighbours, not far from where I grew up. I paid it off cash working on the oil rigs. First wife packed me in, second wife left taking the kids, but I followed her. Now we are in Western Australia and kids all grown up. It’s a problem for men with dreams of rural escape, here too. Women need people. One fine day at the place in Lincs an old couple came walking down the track and said hello. It was the old gamekeeper and his wife come to look at the house where they once lived long before. She said how she always dreaded coming back after being in the village, some miles distant. The previous owner… Read more »

“Over half of health care workers at California hospitals refuse vaccinations”
https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/im-choosing-risk-getting-covid-over-half-health-care-workers-california-hospitals-refuse
I was in hospital twice over the last three months. Spent 11 days overall in emergency care. I asked the care nurse about Covid deaths and case numbers at the hospital. This is a very large regional hospital servicing the greater Mornington Peninsula.
She said no deaths had occurred and the case numbers are minimal. She did say a small outbreak had occurred among the nurses, but the doctors quickly pinpointed a flu strain of some kind. All the affected nurses resumed their activities within 4-5 days.
Then later on i asked the doctor who was caring for me about the vaccine. Smart fella. He initially laughed then sternly stated that not in a million years would I, my wife and kids would ever consider being vaccinated.
Thanks for that Shin. My daughter who will barely speak to me over this announced at Christmas she was pregnant and said “now you will have to get vaccinated”. but more and more I feel I will not give in. But I have a chronic blood thing and wonder if I will be forced into it by it being a condition of getting a blood test or a specialist appointment. Are there any signs of that? I wish you the best of health in 2021. I am in WA.
All the best of health to yourself martin. As we age small medical issues quickly turn into larger issues. In my two stays in hospital i never had a Covid test, nor the need to wear a mask in the ward.
Take care!
That is awful. Deepest sympathy for you.
I’m in WA too, will do whatever I can not to take the vaccine. We’re just guinea pigs for the manufacturers. There is no need to be vaccinated for this flu. Vaccines do not prevent Covid, only lessen symptoms, so it should be purely individual choice. But they’re going to require it to participate in society – a vaccine do safe you will be forced to take it. This the point of this article!
Do not give in. There’s no risk to them from a fictional virus, but there is risk to your health and safety from taking an untested, unsafe and unneeded biologic.
Thus far, we have accepted death as normal. Probably because there has been no way out from death. Most likely this will remain true; however, what is changing is that in the future (according to the plan), death will be “cured.” The mind controlled who point to people dying as proof of some sort of emergency pandemic have not noticed that the change is simply that. Noticing. Before we didn’t and now we do with confusion caused in terms: how we name things to spin stories for particular purposes.
Countdown, T-minus 4 days till the shit hits the fan ?
Might have missed it, but has anybody mentioned Lin Woods tweet, re. Jeffery Epstein, ‘he is alive’ ?
Trump is a farce.
I deduced he was alive by MSM’s peculiar obsession with insinuating that he “didn’t kill himself”… never once insinuating that he wasn’t even, possibly, dead. TFIC wanted us to feel we were “in on a secret” without letting us too far in on it. The psycho is sipping a cocktail on a beach with fetching company, at this very moment, I imagine, and helping to run his extensive Blackmail Empire “in exile”. Receiving progress reports on his “Lebensborn” project…?
There is currently a lot of focus on how did China get rid of this virus without a vaccine and how was their death total so low and how excess mortality varies so much from country to country. The evidence would suggest that they didn’t get rid of it. It was never there in the first place. This is borne out by the fact that China were only able to supply Drosten with theoretical RNA sequences at the start of last January as they had no live or inactive Sars Cov 2 virus isolates. To get rid of this virus all they needed to do was to change the genes the PCR was looking to detect and reduce the CT. Bingo the new virus disappears. The new disease Covid 19 pneumonia doesn’t seem to actually exist. The whole lockdown in Wuhan was completely staged and heralded as a success by… Read more »
A very good summary that correlates with the progression of events in 2020.
Excellent- Whuan was staged! The new 2019!flu jab also might be doing the job of killing people 🤷♂️
“Whuan was staged!”
Agreed – the story of hos “the virus” was first detected is palpably absurd and the footage of people in the streets collapsing with convulsions obviously staged (why has this Covid symptom not repeated anywhere else?).
Exactly this symptom never happened in any patient outside China.
The idea that this started with someone eating a bat is as believable as a pig flying past my window wearing a face mask.
Latest news I have heard from Lancashire (it is anecdotal, my wife’e best school friend is upgrading her iphone, so no photography), she was queing up this morning to get her Mum who will be about 85, to get a COVID test, so she can go back to work.
I only know of 2 people, who have admitted they have been injected.
mRNA was tested on Dolly The Sheep. It has never been tested on humans before..
“DeathOn 14 February 2003, Dolly was euthanised because she had a progressive lung disease and severe arthritis.[15] A Finn Dorset such as Dolly has a life expectancy of around 11 to 12 years, but Dolly lived 6.5 years. A post-mortem examination showed she had a form of lung cancer called ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma, also known as Jaagsiekte,[16] which is a fairly common disease of sheep and is caused by the retrovirusJSRV.”

Love this website and all the comments regardless of disagreements. The first step towards any form of emancipation is to toss the teev. Sadly, it will never happen in the US. However, in Britain and its other former global pink bits if even1% of the citizenry were to dump theirTV sets in front of their respective parliament houses or Legislative dwellings, a very LOUD and fearful message would be sent without a single shot being fired.
Absolutely- I thought this too. Imagine dropping thousand sets in parliament square and burning the National papers! 🕺🕺🕺💉😷$$$
Been saying that for 20 years.
Interesting juxtaposition. I reckon it’s perhaps easier to see through the bull in Britain because of the good old monolithic Beeb. Unfortunately this means that e.g. over on Lockdown Sceptics many rant against the Beeb as if that channel alone was the culprit. The more intelligent know that the bullshit spreads all the way across all the channels. The US rulers were always more crafty. Never have a monolith. Always have ever expanding separate channels – which just so happen to be all singing the same song.
What can we expect in 2021?
Further aggression, military adventurism, economic terrorism, actual terrorism, ever less credible false flags and hoaxes, in Syria, Iran, Ukraine, Iraq, continuing full spectrum vilification and demonisation of Russia and China.
Kosherstan and its US bitch going into overdrive, abandoning all caution and restraint.
Reckless and irresponsible escalation across the globe.
Further massive transfers of wealth and power upwards.
Consolidation of monopoly power.
Even more obscene levels of inequality and poverty.
The rapid pauperisation of the bulk of the population.
The Great Reset.
The twin hoaxes of Global Warming and Covid providing the pretexts for the above.
Together with blanket surveillance, rigid censorship and shredding all civil liberties as permanent features of life.
Unprecedented levels of austerity.
The normalisation of instability, uncertainty, suspicion and mistrust in all spheres of public and private life.
The new normal.
“The 2011 Cyprus “bail-in” confiscated deposits from bank accounts, setting a precedent which can now happen anywhere, regardless of FDIC “insurance”.”
…
The Cyprus event only confiscated amounts in excess of government deposit ‘insurance’.
Scattering funds to the limit for each institution insured is an interim measure to take.
Of course if the many governments that have implemented Cyprus-style confiscation laws wish to take all your money to keep banks solvent they will, and as the ‘insurance’ funds are almost totally unfunded, the ‘money’ would simply be instantly created. How long it would take to be worth less, or nothing, is another question, as survivors of hyperinflation can testify.
Simon Dixon, last I heard, seemed to think that rather than opting for a Cyprus-style “Bail-in,” in the coming crash they will opt for replacing the money in bank accounts with equivalent CBDC credits. Opinions on this?
I have no facts on this but it is what I have been assuming will happen.
No, they give you worthless shares in the zombie bank in lieu of your cash.
Derivatives (big money) have priority over everything else including the essential funds of local governments. The piddling insurance is largely PR. Confiscation has been ratified by EU, IMF abd BIS.
I’ve been a fan of Neil Young for a long time. I remember finding an old album recorded in what seems to be the late 60s or early 70s ; Live Rust. It’s live and outdoors and, at one point, proceedings are rudely interrupted by a bomb blast of a thunderclap. Neil , a little stoned, said to his audience: :” hey..maybe if we all join hands we can make the rain stop ”. This was followed by a chorus of ”no rain-no-rain-no-rain” from the audience who were probably as stoned as he was and probably now all joined as one by their hands. It still pissed down . I brought that up as it came straight to mind when i read the opening of this article. It seems very ‘spirit of ’67’ ; all free love and ” give it to the man”. Naive in other words. OK it… Read more »
Based on your assessment, we should all go out and hang ourselves. Movements that are authentic and come form the spirit/soul are well worth pursuing. Part of the NWO psy-op is that they control everything. They do not. If they did , many of us would be gone already and they’d have their little elite playground. The ideas in the article aren’t for everyone, but there are quite a few good resources to explore.
Yes, very mystical. In the meantime, the Scientism movement is waging war. What would you suggest, we all self isolate, meditate, eat some yoghurt and spin our chakras ? That will stop the global fascism and destruction of freedom and individual sovereignty will it. That will make those at the top confess the psyop and artificial virus and put the vaccines in the bin ? Or are we waiting for the God that we’ve been waiting for for thousands of years ?
No need for sarcasm. I never suggested doing any of those things, but they are a fair piece better than black pill moaning followed by shitting on anyone who is attempting change or who is not quite ready to throw in the towel – forgive us! Chin up! Go do something positive, get off the fucking computer.
very spiritual
This is a recent change of strategy by the parasites. The previous one treated more human cattle as a benefit.

Welcome to the age of Aquarius that so many have been hoping for for so long…I always said careful what you wish for…
Is that the age of the end of humanity..or the beginning of the age of the hybrid man / robot..
Maybe it is the Age of the end of your doomsaying? Are you a plant by the elite’s to quash the spirit? Are you a gate keeper? For fuck’s sake , if you are going to paint everything with the same dark tint why bother commenting or reading?
Or you could man up and look at reality. For 12 months we’ve had almost complete lockdown, self isolation, businesses crashing, homes and jobs lost and the people causing it insist that it’s down to a virus. The same people have made a vaccine or two to force on the population whether they want it or not. They feed us endless lies and statistics that they refuse to back up or let anyone else examine. They pay doctors to lie and politicians to lie more. They have programmed the media to lie and induce as much fear into the public as possible. They have spent decades telling us all that we need to ‘depopulate’ the planet. But I’m an elite for seeing it and commenting. I’m ‘ a plant’ ( lol ). Aren’t your lot supposed to call everyone ”77th” or isn’t that ‘cool’ any more… That’s right. I’m a… Read more »
Notice that the same ones always saying “stop the negativity” are the ones saying “give me solutions, damn you!”?
““give me solutions, damn you!” Indeed. Centuries of a shadowy, war-loving, famine-engineering Global Control Apparatus (it used to be the inter-married, trans-national, European Aristocracy, but things have gotten extremely complicated in the last two hundred years) oppressing the Masses and any commenter who points out this Ancient Dilemma, in any detail, is required to suggest the definitive solution (that no one’s managed to come up with before) in order to be taken “seriously”. Sounds reasonable, and not at all like a method for inhibiting forbidden discourse, to me. The irony being that when everyone (or nearly everyone) of The Masses finally wakes up to the reality of this Ancient Dilemma: that’s the solution. When The Masses (including the ‘ordinary’ members of the Police/ Military) wake up, what’s left? About a million defenseless psychopaths vs 7 + billion of us. You can see why Mind Control, and general relentless Deception (not… Read more »

I get the impression “Agorism” is for only the most vigorous senior citizens. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t risk aiding and abetting them. Go down shouting …

Neil Young probably failed to make the rain stop because his handlers were doing early seed clouding experiments above the stage.

Surprised at some of the reactions to this article. I read most of the comments here daily and there is a consistent (at least 1x a day) questioning of Off-G for not providing solutions, only dwelling in the darkness. This is the first article I can recall that gets into some real practical solutions. Cryptocurrency, Bitcoin etc yes I understand the objections there for sure…but salvaging productive alternatives in the midst of this slow burning societal collapse, in whatever ways we can is worth reading about and discussing. If TFIC want to control all as it seems to be, the suggestions here don’t need to be comprehensive or exhaustive it’s an article by someone with a perspective.

This article is delusional. With every square inch of the earth’s surface mapped by satellites do you think those behind the Covid agenda, the 4th industrial revolution, the great reset etc.. are going to let a group of people escape their plan?
It is also impossible to live completely off grid. Even the Amish are forced to interact with the outside world
Cooperation is indeed the answer, but it would take millions to make a difference and the ruling class technocrats pushing the new world order wouldn’t tolerate that
Maybe I need to re-read but I don’t think author was suggesting everyone tries to live off grid. Agree that’s impossible for most. The message I got from this was try everything, try what you can, build an alternative economy with others where you’re at. Look up Mondragon; post WW2 poorest place on earth just about, a priest organized a cooperative discussion group they lived through Franco to become the largest autonomous cooperative business association (Most still worker owned). They didn’t go off grid but they did build counter power via a culture of solidarity and ALOT of practical, grounded ideas. See also Zapatistas. There are lots of models we just need to look and start acting where we can. I think that was his point. 🤷♂️
https://www.mondragon-corporation.com/en/history/
I agree, thiekbalj. I may not adopt or adapt to the life of agorism (?) but I love and support people embarking on whatever path they choose.
Is it delusional? Who knows. But there is no harm in trying. What is the alternataive? Well, we are living it. And it doesn’t look like it’s getting any peachier.
I applaud the spirit of alternative thinking and doing. It takes courage and thoughtfulness.
I say “go for it”.
I don’t agree with your “irritatingly happy” riff on Alison McDowell but your responses to this article are dead-on.
The most “successful” of these “off-the-grid” communities will merely end up being 21st-century Wacos (Branch Davidian ’90s reference, there):

The leading approach to reducing one’s slavery is reducing needs; that ties in to the original agora. It requires reducing insecurities. As for the house, if it must be heated or cooled, keep it small in area and height, or make it sunken.

I have been waiting for someone to start fleshing out the alternatives to this neo-fascist society we find ourselves in. To criticise Mike Swatek unduly for making an effort is disrespectful for someone who has gone out of his way to try to counter the state terrorism being imposed on us over coronavirus bullshit. Last night Birmingham was swarming with task-force police breaking up traditional parties because Matt Hancock (who really should be in prison together with his entourage of so-called “advisors”, the prime minister and leader of the opposition – a lawyer for God’s sake) has passed the message down. It is not a matter of how right or wrong Mike is. It is a matter that he has offered something by means of a potential solution and provided links for US readers. He should be praised. Because it is no good criticising him when you have no alternative… Read more »
Exactly, this article provokes thought, offers solutions, offers debate.
Time for a minority of readers to catch up on the thinking that goes into these articles.
Derek Broze of the Conscious Resistance has been talking about agorism for years. I’m pretty sure he initiated the Freedom Cell movement.
James Corbett has been writing about it for years also.
How is neo-fascism resisted? The only solution is for unions to call mass general strikes, to oust the politicians and to resist the technocrats. A revolution. Highly unlikely, but India has shown mass unrest
Alexander Lukashenko said ‘No’ to the Covid Cabal, so the people would have to do the same if the political class won’t do it for them
Living fully off grid is not possible – it’s a pipe dream. And those who resist the tyranny are a threat to the technocrats’ agenda. Dissent won’t be tolerated. Shopping locally will have zero effect in the big scheme of things
“Never much cared for quitters, son.” John Wayne
UNIONS?? lol…there controlled by the elites too!
This is true. But millions of people can’t go and live off grid.
Where are they supposed to go? How are they supposed to eat? What if they need urgent medical care?
And what about those who don’t live off grid. What happens to them?
There’s but one grid and it’s in place. it’s a set of horizontal and vertical bars we can’t see. It’s a force field. We can’t get close enough to crawl through. We are, to coin a phrase ” Donald Ducked”.
As soon as the vaccine ritual is over and the requisite bio technics are in place and in us , the lever will be pulled and that will be it. Lights out ; the Great Reset on.
A personal escape pod or a stash of silver, or the financial security of crypto-currency, does not sound like a viable alternative to the neo-fascist society that you describe.
Being friendly and growing your own food just ain’t gonna cut it. The I’m All Right, Jack approach solves nothing (and in the longer run, having a stash of bullion may be injurious to your health).
But you have already stated the solution. Matt Hancock and the whole criminal gang must be locked up (at least until a long drop can be arranged).
First step – win the information war.
OK, DM, but I have to counter with the opinion that Matt Hancock or ANY of the criminal gang being locked up is as much of a pipe dream as living off the grid.
Hate to be a downer, but such as it is….
You go, bro! We’ll be waiting for you with seaweed and rice upon your triumphant return …
[First step – win the information war.]
Critical, critical step!
A major challenge is that most people do not have the luxury of copious spare time to investigate for themselves.
So their obvious fallback position is to rely on a smaller group of “authoritative sources of information.”
And generally those “sources of information” support official narratives.
Therefore a vital component is to break the automatic trust accorded to those “sources of information.”
That is not an easy task. Humans have a built-in deference to authority.
Orwellian new speak in Academia continues. This time New Year’s Eve celebrations on some more independent on political mafia sovereign tribal lands are labeled.. egregious.
from ABC
Some casinos are sticking to festivities. Thunder Valley, near Sacramento, promotes “2021 Celebration Giveaway” drawings Friday and Saturday, with $8,000 grand prizes. Viejas Casino & Resort, east of San Diego, advertises a $50,000 Bingo “celebration” on New Year’s Eve.
Bradley Pollock, a public health professor at UC Davis Health, acknowledged tribal rights and the economic benefits that casinos deliver but said “anything that encourages people to come together physically is not good.” He said New Year’s Eve celebrations are “even more egregious.”
Any vaccinations, even those long studied and used vaccines, significantly weaken immunity of vaccinated person temporarily. It is in fact major argument in debate about efficacy of vaccinations for mild respiratory diseases as “COVID” is.

But who bothers to follow pesky science, not UK authorities, nor Doctors Association, UK that unethically peddling untested mRNA vaccines on population in the first place. from CNBC: U.K. health regulators on Wednesday said they would prioritize giving as many people their first dose of vaccine as quickly as possible, which could delay providing those who have already been inoculated their second dose by up to 12 weeks versus the recommended three weeks.“We have real and grave concerns about these… Read more »
PLEASE START SHARING THIS— & doing this–
WE ALL NEED TO STOP— calling the PCR a “test’ —-WE ALL need to stop calling the injections that are coming>> a vaccine– as they are NOT vaccines at all, they are calling it a vaccine so it falls under the legal
immunity that comes under the pretense of a vaccine.
It is NOT a vaccine period–ITS AN INJECTION!!
We NEED to stop using the wrong words.
We also really need to get into telling what the virus really is.
A virus is not contagious and it is part of us and stays in our bodies NOT outside.
This is the next BIG truth that must be told.
im sharing this as I didn´t know until recently.
Look up Dr Thomas Cowan,
Rudolf Steiner, Dr Andrew Kaufman and more …. they will confirm this.
I use term the “PCR trick“. There is a lot of resistance because of the use of the term vaccine. The majority of people are more concerned of the “vaccine” than of “dying of covid”. Maybe call it a gene altering mRNA injection, rather than just an injection. Or once they come out with the microinjection needle patch, the mark of the beast.

Exosomes originate within us (and possibly within plants, according to Andrew Kaufman) and, possibly, can exit our bodies and be picked up by others – for beneficial purposes. Andrew Kaufman has changed my views of germ theory and I’m greatful. The only thing that the covid 19 pandemic hoax has given me was the opportunity to unlearn some of the Rockefeller health care ideology that I was infected with.
I have re-thought the importance of the use of the word “vaccine”. Yes, we should not use this term. Dr. Judy refers it as a pathogenic envelope. Legally it is a medical device.
Wow! That spam filter has really kicked into high gear. Most of what I’ve posted here is just not there. That’s new behavior (from my standpoint).

Very interesting. Your’s was an intelligent response to the problem (or annoyance) that we are facing here.
One of the corner stones of the ‘American dream’ illusion, is the lie of ‘consumer power’. Where you can change the world through your consumer choices. I would love to know what consumer choice would give Americans universal heath care.
The truth is you have no power in the face of Corporate cartel or monopoly, it is only powerful democratic government that has the power to bring them to heel.
[I would love to know what consumer choice would give Americans universal heath care.] You simply assume “universal health care” as some kind of simply implementable human “right” or “good” with no regard to the constraints of costs and definition of what is included as “health.” [The truth is you have no power in the face of Corporate cartel or monopoly…] Erm, no. That is not the “truth.” Individuals do have power. The fact that so many have exercised their power leading to an outcome that you may not agree with, does not suddenly imply that they do not have power. […it is only powerful democratic government that has the power to bring them to heel.] Once again, erm, no. You seem to have a rather naive belief in “powerful democratic government.” Simply the fact that it is a “powerful democratic government” should make you realise that such government is… Read more »
The Chinese are already running an e-yuan, a government backed digital currency. So get to know your new currency.
Compared to online-only (“digital”) money, crypto is even more insane submission to slavery. In one case, you know the slavemaster. In the other, you don’t.
One issue with this article, apart fron its bias towards Americans, is its constant emphasis on the use of cryptocurrencies to circumvent official authorities. As if governments and their security agencies in particular aren’t already monitoring transactions being done in cryptocurrencies and noting patterns in them that can be traced to their sources. A second issue is that there is perhaps too much emphasis on what individuals, even young adult individuals, can or should do for themselves. Young adults on their own are perhaps the most disadvantaged with regard to the resources available and needed to become self-sufficient, off-grid as well as on. They are further removed from farming culture and tradition than the rest of Western society. Probably the best advice for young people is to try to reconnect with their grandparents’ cultures and communities where these are still safe and have not been destroyed, to get the knowledge… Read more »

Clearly you either are unaware or ignorant of the long agorist and mutualist tradition. Personally I am neither an agorist nor mutualist.

I live with my parents, don’t have much money and keep the involvement of digital technology in my life to a minimum, but I’m still dependent on my computer for work and a bank for control of my finances. I can’t just terminate all that and become completely self-sufficient on my own – there needs to be other people desiring a self-sufficient society that we can all contribute to. The problem is the loss of skills caused by the overreach of digital technology which has had the effect of making people lazy and dumbed-down. Using cryptocurrency isn’t going to rectify that. If anyone’s got any bright ideas about that, it would be great… Read more »

Do what my son is doing….buy yourself a few basic tools and learn to use them…make tables, repair houses, etc…these things cannot be done online…thus anyone with any kind of basic skill will be welcome and fed I suspect…words may not cut it in the immediate future but fundamental skills may be helpful.
[self-sufficient society] You are already in one. Humans are social. That is a key aspect of what makes us successful as a species. A single human living completely isolated may achieve some limited form of material self-sufficiency, but psychologically it is not something most people would desire. So us humans naturally form groups, bands, tribes, and finally societies. They are all “self-sufficient.” The problem with such societies is that they are composed of us humans. That is, humans with our innate drives for power in social dominance hierarchies. And so we end up with some humans forcing other humans within our “self-sufficient” society to act in specific ways – e.g. by forcing the wearing of masks or taking of vaccines. This “problem” will, in the end, manifest in any new “self-sufficient society” you may wish to create as an alternative to the current, almost global, “self-sufficient society.” So I suggest… Read more »
Thanks Jen. Creating artificial divides between youth and elder generations has been one of the primary goals of technocratic interests, and they’ve had splendid success…
Traditional clans used to stress the importance of contact between elders and the following generations. Oral history and the flow of tribal traditions have been erased due to industrial models and consumer idiocy…
Read Robert Bly’s excellent book “Iron John: A Book About Men – Wikipedia”
Don’t be put off by the title. It’s an excellent read.
As I like to say: do you really think a kid came up with the “OKAY, BOOMER!” meme?
Hello Steven Augustine: I must say, I’m so out of touch, I had never heard of the “Ok Boomer” meme. I haven’t been interested in television or movies for decades, so am thankfully out of touch… In (partial) answer to to your question: > From the Wikipedia definition: “OK boomer” is a catchphrase and meme used by teenagers and young adults to dismiss or mock attitudes typically associated with people born in the two decades following World War II, known as baby boomers. The phrase first drew widespread attention due to a November 2019 TikTok video in response to an older man, though the phrase was actually coined years before that. Considered by some to be ageist, the phrase has also been used commercially to sell merchandise, and there have been multiple trademark applications submitted for the phrase.” Origin “OK boomer” was popularized as a reaction to a video on… Read more »
Precisely. Reminds me of people who “surf the Web ‘anonymously'”. Nope.
I agree Jen. Yet another point of view from someone who thinks the world is a place in America and America is a place in Hollywood. Hence it’s complete divorce from realism.
