I agree with you wholeheartedly about the changes that need to be made, but I think the biggest threat to everything we hope to build is unhealed trauma. We've all seen how our best intentions and everything built off them can be hijacked and manipulated. We've seen how having a public face and reputation make us prone to damage control in a world that lacks forgiveness. I'm not sure we're in the right heart space YET to build the next thing. I think we have more healing to do before we can built The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible (Charles Eisenstein), because we're still traumatized by the other things we now sadly know is possible. To be successful, I think we have to be doing this inner healing work ALONGSIDE our attempts to create change outside.

But we do have an extraordinary opportunity to practice better conversations and compassionate listening. You point out in Part 1 all the ways we have succeeded in creating safe spaces, communities and ways to be heard and explore and amplify the truth. I think healing is happening, but we have to work really hard to keep each other on task and avoid the traps that commonly impact activist movements. We need to check our egos, our fear, our anger and root into something more loving and hopeful.

This is what came up for me when meditation on some of these questions:

Other issues to work besides the ones you listed: 1) Food industry and Gov. agencies are corrupt, pushing junk food or veganism diets and sayings it's good for us, 2) Non-science being touted by media as science, bad studies promoted and paid for by corporations in ivy-league and other institutions 3) POisoning of the EARTH and SPACE by chemicals, destroying habitats and satellites lost in space. I've been following RFK Jr. he has a plan for all these in the list. There are others thinking along these lines as well, namely ARC The Alliance for Concerned Citizens. Best to forge an alliance with these together.

You raise questions that people are too afraid to ask or answer or pay attention to. People have no clue about medical freedom and what means. Rights or should I say our rights cone with the responsibility to preserve them. We have been conditioned to forget how to…

Paper ballots, hand counted in front of all parties, would be a start. There is already a movement to dump the voting machines due to the ease with which they can be corrupted. Bev Harris has a site (see link) where she and others write about what's been happening in the world of voting machines. She produced a movie Hacking Democracy about the problem in 2008 or so, that is still relevant today.

These are all imperative questions to consider. One thing with regards to elections a political down flow that not enough seem to want to acknowledge is that our voting integrity is not only severely damaged, it might be nonexistent, maybe not at a local level, but the higher you go, yes, and most definitely at the federal and state level. Machines can and are hacked (anything can be) and the dominion machines were actually created by a three letter government agency (to mess with other countries) so why people don’t think they would be used that way here is naive. Without election integrity, it’s pointless in my opinion to try and build a political machine that works within the current parameters. As someone else stated, mass non compliance would work, i think, and also because it would be outside of the massive corrupt system. Important to deal in what is true rather that what we wish was true.

A thought, Toby (pardon the lack of formality, but I think we're all in this together - "Butcher, Baker, Candle Stick Maker", or in the words of LeCarre: "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy".... it will "take a village" to STOP this. ALL members of the village, labels set aside.)

Anyway, a thought: As to making changes to the various "Acts" which have proven deleterious - the Prep Act, The 1986 Act signed into law by Ron Reagan as well as other required amendment changes -

....perhaps it is time we said "Screw the Politicians" - we vote them in, they ask for our vote, and then disappear (not all, certainly, but a vast majority) until the next time they need a vote.

"How do we make sure This never happens again?"

Take the vote to the people.

Not sure "how", but put the question to a vote BY THE PEOPLE whose representation, as you say, are without knowledge of the relevant issues {paraphrasing here: " Republicans control the House but only 20 Rep. members actually UNDERSTAND medical freedom "}.

How do we change ALL that requires change, in a quid pro quo system built as we stood by, watching?

You are correct, a focus on "grass roots" politics is so important ...... but it is going to "take a village".

Dr. Pam Popper has specifically mentioned how Czechoslovakia broke free of their government just by a critical mass of non-compliance. Go parallel instead of trying to fix the broken. At a smaller level, the Amish in Ohio didn’t have to comply with the COVID bullshit: the governor said there were too many of them to round up.

Yes, there are huge issues to deal with, but people are actually breaking away on their own. I’m involved (tepidly I admit) in several local groups for medical freedom or cultural “baseness” (common sense conservative values that former lefties like me embrace). However, these groups like to keep low profiles so you can’t mention them by name, but some acknowledgement would be great.

I hope that I am not too discouraging but it seems to me that representative government is unequal to the challenge of coordinated big money campaigns. The corporatocracy defines the battle lines (see abortion) provides the black-white and misleading slogans, and offers rewards of exaggerated emotional ventilation / release for holding one or the other impassioned visions. They then (Ohio) institute a new Constitutional Amendment that prohibits the reach of anyone or any institution into the entire field other than the non-designated masters of the topic of "reproductive rights." It is predictable this new unaccountable anti-democratic fiefdom will be managed by cartels monetizing the dead babies into an industrial product. Nobody can stop them if the cloak of being housed in a legally untouchable, unreachable space, is observed. It bears the appearance of law after all. To be law abiding in this instance is to condone lawless and literal selling of one human's body to another for exploitation. Some must die to satisfy those who pay for the product. This was done claiming falsely that Ohio law prohibited medical treatment for miscarriages, for example. The conditioned dummies ate it up. God only knows what disaster will follow but be confident that lots and lots of women will be incentivized to sell their offspring's bodies to the industry. And given that standards of medical treatment are now "protected" from democratic interference, I expect that many more women will die or be permanently disabled by the unethical butchers working for the cartels. This happens when almighty profit is the magnetic north of all human activity.

Possibly reserve political activity to voters? Transparent donations, available only to voters and published in real-time?

I would argue that low taxes and free trade are part of what has led us to tyranny. The uber rich pay no or very little in way of taxes. The tax laws are written to benefit the rich. When they don't pay taxes then many public agencies rely on the rich to support them when the government cannot due to taxes not being paid. For example, Bill Gates donated lots of money to schools. In doing so, he influenced the ways schools were run and possibly the curriculum. But if tax dollars supported schools, they wouldn't need money from people like Gates and we the people would have a say in how the schools are run. This is what happened to public TV and radio. I believe GW Bush budget cut funding to those outlets and now they rely on big businesses to support them, hence their pushing of the scamdemic narrative. Ironically, when they were primarily government funded they allowed for more criticism of the government and of those in power. That's because when we the people are the government then we have a voice in how it is run and can criticize it all we want. Unfortunately, now the government is run by big businesses.

Also the "free" trade agreements gave freedom to big corporations to override decisions made by governments. They're a big part of why we are here.

Sorry to say that I don't think we can work within the political system anymore. Not sure what is going to happen but when governments start murdering millions of their own people things have gotten way out of control. It's not so simple as just voting someone in or out anymore. Now we need to think about how to survive all of this and will we be the next to be killed? Yes, we are all in great danger.

Having said this, if we could get people to turn off their screens--turn off the TV, the smartphone, computer, etc., and get people interacting with each other and their environment directly again, well, if we could do that then there is hope.

But I don't think it's possible. People are so addicted to their screens that another Fauci celebrity could appear on their screen tomorrow, tell them all to jump in the lake, and they'd do it! We'd see millions of people around the country jumping in the nearest lake!

When did you see low taxes? Our national tax freedom day (Canada) has been estimated to be July 8.

Accept that taxes are a form of slavery- you only keep what you "own" , your property, time, and income at the pleasure of your government masters.

The late Harlan Ellison some decades ago had two collected volumes of his LA Times TV columns entitled "The Glass Teat." (My favourite was his appearance on "The Dating Game", especially his suggested date activity.) He might have needed to upgrade to "The Silicon Teat" if he had had to survive into the current epoch but the warnings remain useful.

Agree - reform will be hardest within the political system. Agree - people are changed by direct interaction with their environments, esp nature. Everyone has a need to be well, which requires hands-on interaction with daily life and knowing what makes us sick. We know how to heal now, and it doesn't include the methods of pharma or WEF or WHO. There is hope.

I don't think the situation is reformable. A revolution is more the word. Meaning we need a jump cut to the new and step out and away from what is. Of course, that risks making many of the same mistakes again. Way way way bigger discussion;

One thing I've been thinking about of late... a shadow government. Maybe operating first at stae levels and spreading from there. Something media couldn't easily ignore, a neew set of talking heads to compete with the usual talking heads, something that could run town hall meetings. Decentralied, people could scratch whatever itch they had.

Luc Montagne called "HIV" a cofactor for the development of AIDS, and the existence of "HIV-negative AIDS" cases supported this position, but Fauci immediately shut down this discussion. I met Fauci at Holy Cross when Joseph Murray was speaking at a symposium at Holy Cross in the early 1990s (after he won the Nobel Prize in Medicine), and I had an odd feeling about Fauci (more than his simple jealousy about not winning the Nobel Prize), but who knew he would turn out to be such a psychopath.

Questioning authority is something that most lack due to personality, educational background, and/or willingness to tolerate the bad behaviors of others. I personally will not "go along" with something that I feel is morally wrong, even if it leads to a career change. Those deciding public (and hospital) policy knew that, besides fear, they could use potential loss of employment to their advantage to compel mandatory vaccination. Their actions have caused direct harm, and I do not think the public will be so accepting of their decisions going forward.

Regarding medical professions, I heard that PCPs got $500 for each COVID vaccine they gave, so bought off may be more accurate than programmed.

Accountability will be problematic given the structure of state and local government. In my experience, our "public servants" are too busy benefiting themselves than doing anything to disrupt the flow of state and federal money. The federal government has known for a long time that the way to undermine state power was to buy state legislatures by tying federal money to desired programs or policies.

All those are great ideas but as long as the king of the apes is the psychopath, I don’t expect much change. If we look at the history of human behavior, we see that most humans are simply ferrets following Pied Piper off a cliff if the human race is to survive, we must eliminate psychopathy and teach people to think

Mushrooms lol i have no better answers presently

Expand full comment

Probably the best solution to the world’s problems is to require everyone to have a nice bowl of mushroom soup. Every time they get violent and to realize it’s not reasonable for a few people to manipulate all of the resources. When a psychopath gets control of a population and convinces them, they are gods, chosen people, that is the beginning of a massive war. Ukrainians are chosen people because they are Nazis. They killed 23 million people in Russia in World War II and Russia still beat them, but the Nazis are now living in Ukraine, the United States and Britain sent God‘s original chosen people to take back the land Palestinians have owned for 2000 years. Can you imagine the great God of the universe is so incompetent he let Arabs live on the land of the chosen people for 2000 years look what God has accomplished

Expand full comment

Not incorrect, yet incomplete. Eliminating psychopathy and teaching people to think is critical for the long term survival of the species, however, it is an untenable solution to the current chaos. Due to decades of institutional conditioning that reward feelings more than logic, and the mentally manipulated and emotionally charged atmosphere, at this point we must mirror the methods being used against us. In essence, we need to spook the heard in the opposite direction. Then, once the herd is no longer running off the cliff, we can set about corralling the emotional mind in a carefully contrived circular pattern of logic that discharges the emotion in a positive direction, thereby reducing the psychopathy and incrementally rebuilding critical thinking.

Get more right brain activity going. It’s been dumbed down (deliberately). Ref: Iain mcgilchrists work - the divided brain.

Expand full comment

Yes!!!! I think there should be a think tank that first meets in person, or periodically meets in person, but which meets online all listening to the same music at the same time (which shifts to the right hemisphere) and which uses constraints, such as each poster being given a word that they must use in their post, which distracts the left hemisphere, which is probably the half of the brain that participates online. It is characterized by aggression, and optimism, and gets transfixed by models, among other things. If you had many brilliant courageous people all together and all thinking through both hemispheres, you might find solutions not otherwise available, sort of Kekule falling asleep on the double decker bus in London, after concentrating furiously on what the structure of benzene was, and dreaming of a ring. Right hemisphere--intuition, faith, depth, the source of dreaming. If everyone just jousts through their left hemispheres on X, it is just a left hemisphere circle jerk, so to speak.

I actually wonder if the right hemisphere might actually sort of sleep online, like the cetaceans Heather Heying describes in The Sleep of Seals in Natural Selections.

It’s great stuff Dr Toby. It is certainly and well thought out road map. Believe me when I say that I am really not trying to black pill anyone but I am to a degree. Maybe not as bad as I have been. I have been chatting with survivalist/2A types for a while. Many of us have come to the conclusion that a national collapse is not only inevitable but very much needed. Would be the best thing to clear the underbrush.

However as of late that’s scaring me again. Really depends on what that would look like but I have a bad feeling it could spiral into something very catastrophic. If just a recession such as 2008 we would get by but anything slightly greater could literally kill millions and send our asses back to the Stone Age. The thin veneers that hold society up are not something I have a lot of trust in.

The point is we really need to take control before something like that happens. Before the system crashes down if that is indeed what it coming. Anything like this that may help us avoid this nightmare scenario is a welcomed sight. I will do my part to share.

I don't know how effective we will be against the likes of what crossed the border these last few years. These are evil people who have zero regard for human life and most likely many are already hardened killers.

I'll fight if threatened even if it's with stones but I'm afraid, like you, that we may too impoverished to have the strength to fight.

I believe the strength and willingness to fight comes from the spirit within, and what we need to do is rouse this spirit in as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, in order to stave off the looming disaster.

I’m afraid we won’t be able to get back up. You go back to the Great Depression and you would be foolish not to take notice of the circumstances that surround it. It’s as you mentioned, the influx on the border adds more people with different cultures and different goals. When food is scarce I am uncertain just how well these various groups play together.

The truly evil people are those setting this train wreck on its collision course. Hopefully you don’t need to fight with stones. You should consider a rifle 😉

I'm afraid I'm not going to be very entertained by these interesting times we're living in... ugh. But I have been wondering about my area - the highest amount of middle easterners outside of MI... I know my chaldean neighbors will fight muslims fiercely and there are far more chaldeans than muslims... but does that make this area more chaotic and prone to lone wolf attacks? Or does it put a damper on the muslim terrorist?

David killed Goliath with a stone... ;) ... but I'm not proficient on the sling shot either... maybe a potato gun? lol

Did you read Sebastian Gorka's letter to his family? He's advising CC for anyone who can get one... to have at least some type of defense when you go out.. and be prepared for individual knife attacks.

"The food shortages are going to be real." -- Joe 'The Sock-Puppet' Biden

Given the direct and sustained attack on the food supply, I have no reason to doubt him on this. In fact, after countless hours of research, I've concluded that this is precisely the plan. Hungry peasants are more compliant, and if a few million people starve in the global transitions to "sustainable food control systems" I'd say that was more a perk than a problem for the power that be... in fact, I'd say that's the plan!
