I’ve been contacted by an increasing number of people who are telling me that they’ve been able to make their income mobile which has enabled them to pack up their families and move to more rural areas. While I find this very promising, sometimes an increase in wealth may still not be enough to allow someone to be fully self-sufficient, and that is when you must realize that community is everything. We currently live in a society in which you can find yourself in handcuffs for having unapproved opinions, but the more access you have to wealth, the easier it is to buy your way out of trouble. People can point to the persecution of Donald Trump or the J6 prisoners to contradict me, but I hope everyone reading this is smart enough not to run for president or walk into the Capitol Building during one of the most politically tumultuous times in recent history.
When it comes to building communities, the possibilities are endless. I don’t recommend taking the Branch Davidians (BD) route with everyone living in the same structure, whether that be a multi-family dwelling or whatever building the group builds or finds. In my opinion, that is one of many factors that brought the BD onto the Feds radar in the first place. But a group of like-minded people all moving to the same general area will increase your options for building a cohesive community. I know I’m being ambitious here, but think about it, if 100 dedicated families, couples, and/or individuals moved into the same general vicinity (town, county) with each household concentrating on growing one crop and then distributing that crop to each other, the problem of food scarcity and quality could be mitigated.
Let’s take this a step further. Imagine one of the "100" decided they wanted to start a service-type business (landscaping, etc.), and they’ve worked out that the startup expenses would be fifty or even one hundred thousand dollars. Instead of going to Usury National Bank, what if each of the "100" chipped in five hundred or one thousand dollars? I know that if I were a part of that community, I wouldn’t expect to be paid back unless one day I possibly needed whatever service their business provided. These "100" committed people could make it possible to bypass the global banking system in most cases. Recently, my computer was fried during a lightning storm. I sent out the word here and to another email list I have, providing my Venmo and PayPal account information and what the cost would be to replace it. Within 15 minutes, this community blessed me with the funds for a replacement computer. I know a few of you personally but with most of you I have never even had an email exchange. If you came together for someone like me who you only know through the words I type or my voice on a podcast, how much more would you do for people who share your vision for the future and are dedicated enough to relocate to build what comes next?
These are just a couple of examples of what can be built to fortify yourself against the effects of a dying empire. When I used the phrase "build what comes next" above, I hope many of you are beginning to understand the point we’ve come to in this society’s path. New (and sometimes old) ideas for governance and organization must be devised, but they have to take into consideration the failing state that still exists and will continue to exist in some form, while still retaining the power to destroy people’s lives. Power exists when there are people focused on one goal. Making that goal the preservation of your people is a motivating factor. The organization it takes to achieve that end will not be easy, but with our flourishing and survival on the line, it must be done. It all starts with a decision. Make it!
Very white pill-ing. Thank you.
That's funny, I was just thinking about this last night but in terms of how to improve the maintenance of buildings in small towns. So many main streets out side the cities look apocalyptic, thanks to the constant siphoning of money and manpower. It's so demoralizing to go to town to shop or run errands and see everything in ruins, it's no surprise people avoid it.
As far as filling up your whole dunbar number locally with people who moved together, it might be a bit much and look like an invasion to the people who already live where you're going. Which isn't conducive to integrating. Remember you're the immigrants in this situation and 100 people dropping into a town of a few thousand is a lot. You'll get more resistance from the natives if you look like a colony rather than a few new neighbors. Might be better to think smaller for that reason alone, unless you've the wealth to start a new town from scratch.
