From the article: “A few years ago I started doing something without too much forethought. I am so glad I did but it hasn’t been easy. … I stopped paying banks and government charges. I closed my bank accounts, I lived on the cash and barter economy.

But no matter what local currency is used - always - getting off Federal Reserve notes is better than staying on them, so whatever local currency floats one’s boat...as long as we start using a currency that is off the banking system - it’s moving in the right direction.”

This kind of action is the stepping stone/building blocks of a future worth living in. No it won’t be easy, but it will damn sure be worth it and without it we will spend our way right into prison via the Federal Reserve inflation/deflation & upcoming CBDC slavery protocols.

Low technology imprisonment protocol (siphons property over time):

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.... I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." —Thomas Jefferson

High technology imprisonment protocol (violently pillages wealth, property, autonomy, all at once):

BIS Chief Agustin Carstens: You Will Not Use Our CBDCs Without Our Permission (In Real Time): “A key difference with the CBDC [and cash] is the central bank will have _absolute control_ on the rules and regulations that will determine the use of that expression of central bank liability--and we will have the technology to enforce that.” —https://old.bitchute.com/video/mLVkHURKZp3S

HELL ON EARTH IS COMING WITH CBDCs - Here is How: https://old.bitchute.com/video/C8Dm3BjdJm14 (15mins)

You rock Denise! Thanks for sacrificing your Federal Reserve convenience (which is really just a tightening noose around our collective necks and was designed to be so) and walking the walk! If we can activate more of this action among us, we can pull out of this nosedive

I like your ideas. I think in order to make this happen the FALC {freedom and liberty community} has to procure sustainable organic farms as first order. Everything has to be tied to alternative agriculture. As the DOL {division of labor} increases, less people on a % scale will be needed to actually run farms, but farming has to be the foundation. This is paramount. Ag products not only keep the FALC people alive, the ag products themselves could even be a type of currency. But until we figure out how to procure these private organic sustainable farms, the movement aint going nowhere. Not everyone in "the movement" has to "own" a farm, but everyone in the movement has to be connected to a farm that's part of the FALC. Also don't forget, if trust and integrity in any "society" were at the highest absolute possible level, you would not even need "money". You would just freely give, and people would freely give to you. But we know that is clearly not anywhere close to 100%, but I bet in small settings, that actually could work. And this goes beyond "I give you a fish for a pair of shoes". There is NOTHING wrong with that, HOWEVER, the "government" would demand the 2 parties report the trade. Of course you could give the government "the finger" which is fine with me. It just depends on how many goons they want to send. See here's my idea - how about have ALL methods happening at the same time - as the need arises ?? Some "transactions" are totally free of charge. Some transactions are tit for tat. And some transactions are for profit. But say in procuring farms for the FALC, somewhere in the equation, you're going to have to use "dollars" unless there's something I'm not aware of. Look, here's the thing, I agree with you, the worldly money/banking system sucks, but how do you procure land apart from the "system" ??

Brian everything you said makes beautiful sense. And I also like that acronym FALC. I think the land must be purchased as we are stuck in this system, and it could also be rented. We must think of ways to get land and grow food as your comment stated. We will get nowhere without that. It's funny how the FALC has not really expanded. It's very difficult to find communities, they're there, but they are all much like government which is anathema if you really want to be free. They don't have another social system although there is the one I designed and the one Paul Schmidt designed called Sapiocracy. Have you read it? Here it is - this is brilliant and comprehensive: https://www.sapiocracy.com/sapiocracy.html

I don't claim to have all the answers. But I do know one thing: no food means we perish. So figuring out the food thing is absolutely #1. The other thing is, the FALC, just like the "world", will most likely be spread out over 100's and even thousands of miles. And communication is also a must. HOWEVER, there comes a point that the FALC will have to personally interact with each other and that's where my passion comes in. But I'll be the first to admit, my role in the FALC, is a "secondary" role. I am NOT a farmer and don't pretend to be. But I will gladly offer up my passion and skills in aviation to benefit the FALC. Also maybe perhaps we DO have my farm question answered - sort of. There is this thing called the "Homestead Community". MAYBE just maybe if we "recruited" them, then BAM !!! We done have figured out the farm question. So one of my plans is to reach out to the "Homestead Community" and offer them free of charge air transport. Maybe there are John Deer mechanics in the FALC. Perhaps they could offer the "Homestead Community" free John Deer maintenance and repair {since many in the "homestead community" use John Deer Ag equipment} I think in our "recruitment" efforts, we want to offer them stuff that will have a real positive impact on their lives WITHOUT being involved in manipulation. That's what we got to be careful of. The idea is not to "trick" them with free stuff or whatever, but at the same time reach out to them and try to convince them to be part of changing the world for the better. I'm going to give it my best shot -that's all I can do. There is nothing else I'd rather do anyways.

Well I think that is a great thing to do. Also many homesteaders are suspicious of government and are into the barter system. It could start with bartering or at least negotiating maybe barter plus money but no as much money. The main thing is to move in the direction of getting off the money system, even if it's in stages. Farming is one of my passions, I'd love to be on a farm working to build soil and feed the community. I'd like to move to a farm that had the same ideals as I do. And so it would benefit them too to have a pilot or perhaps help finance a plane that could be used for the FALC network. .

Probably a possible idea you could consider is attending one of those homestead conventions that Justin Rhodes attends, or maybe going to a workshop that either Justin Rhodes, or Ben Hollar or Jason @ Sew the Land holds a few times a year. Out of all the people you meet, surely you could find a good situation where you could be a paid "hand" on the farm and I would hope also get some low cost rent. Also right now, and I mean like right now, would be a perfect time to contact Justin Rhodes and see if he could use a hand. I'm almost positive something could be worked out. Justin recently entered a phase where his goal is to be 100% free from the grocery store. I don't see how he can make that happen without more "outside" help. He has hired one lady who helps out with house stuff and he hired this young guy who is very fit {his name is Austin and I think his last name is Chandler} and his primary job is he edits Justin's videos, but he also does farm chores when Justin's family is on vacation. Also Austin is a guy who thinks "outside the box" - he's be a great guy to meet for sure, and of course Joel Salatin might have a position available. The only thing I don't know about Joel Salatin's farm is if or not he grows vegetables and fruit. I know he does chickens, but I don't know what else he does. Also Jason at Sew the Land could be someone to check out. Jason has just started selling turkeys and chickens and he wants to expand that. The big problem is Jason can't ship out of State. I bet if YOU could figure out how Jason could start shipping out of state {of North Carolina} {since you were a former expert in finance, you MIGHT be the perfect person to do this} I'm telling you, Jason might just say "MAKE IT HAPPEN" because there's only 3 of them - Jason, his wife, and his teenage daughter. Jason can't have anymore children because of medical {which is why they got into organic farming} and Jason does most of the farm work by himself because his wife homeschools the daughter. They help him some. But man oh man, I'm telling you, if you got the formula for Jason to start shipping his meat out of State, I bet he would give you the job. The other thing is, Jason grows vegetables and fruit - they built a giant greenhouse. The You Tube channel is "Sew the Land" and if you want to contact him, I can help you with getting his information. Also he has PLENTY of land where you could set up a RV trailer and that would be zero rent. Me personally, I would rather work for Jason than Joel, NOT because Joel is a "bad guy", but because if you get on with Jason NOW, you ARE the ground floor. Whatever growth YOU make happen, you'll be the "outsider" who benefits the most. Whereas working for Joel, he has already hit a mini "critical mass" and all you'd be doing is a "job" - which there is nothing wrong with that - that can be good - but man oh man, if you're on the ground floor of Jason's {Sew the Land} potential, you're going to be doing really really good.

cont - to close, and to reiterate, by "good", I'm NOT saying you're going to become a millionaire {but you never know, anything's possible} - but if you can solve his problem of shipping out of state, I think you would be paid at least decently and if you couple that with being rent free and growing your own food, even a small cut {salary} from solving his out of state problem, would be able to just grow and grow because your expenses are practically nothing.

I now have Austin's correct name - it's Austin Chaney - you can type that name in on YouTube search engine and it will get you to Austin's channel. Remember, Austin Chaney is the guy who works for Justin Rhodes. Justin Rhodes is very hard to contact, but I think Austin would be much easier to contact. And you never know, you might be able to work for Austin. Austin says he wants to do many things and he's a thinker. But again, if it were me, Jason would be my first choice to check out because like I said, he actually needs someone to solve his out of State shipping problem, AND he only has his wife and his daughter for farm help. In the early stages Jason may not be able to pay you "money", BUT setting up an RV rent free and growing your own food is LIKE "getting paid". If you worked a P/T job close to Jason's farm, even a small "salary" is HUGE if you get to keep it by not having to buy groceries and pay rent and other bills. I highly recommend contacting Jason at "sew the land" and see if there's something there for you. I think there could be. If you need money to set up an RV, you can crowd source and I'll toss in $500. You could just find a used unit close to Jason's "homestead".

https://legiscan.com/NH/bill/HB1674/2024

Status

Spectrum: Partisan Bill (Republican 6-0)

Status: Introduced on December 15 2023 - 25% progression, died in chamber

Action: 2024-09-26 - Subcommittee Work Session: 10/01/2024 02:30 pm Legislative Office Building 302-304

https://www.goldback.com/

Goldback Gold Notes are issued as forms of voluntary currency, made with real gold, usable within certain jurisdictions (UT, NH, NV, WY, SD, FL). In the case of the New Hampshire series of Goldbacks, the notes are spendable as a form of voluntary local currency with vendors that opt to accept it as payment.

https://www.goldback.com/featured-businesses

Vendors: select by state

These notes are designed to be spent, saved, or traded. These bills combine the intrinsic value of gold with detailed artwork, making them both functional and collectible.

Goldbacks are voluntary local currency with real 24K gold on the back of the notes and are meant to be the best physical currency for retaining value. The goal is for people to be able to pay for anything with the Goldback.

The Goldback project truly began in spirit with the passage of the Utah Legal Tender Act in 2011 which recognized certain types of Gold as currency within the state. Since that time the technology to mint Gold into a spendable form for small transactions has become a reality.

Good information - for people who want to stay in the patrix. The idea that a currency appreciates or depreciates should be disqualified by the people. Others can use it, we live and let live, but we don't spend our "time" (ie: life) building this system. Of course they have to pretend to be innovative because everything is changing so fast, and they'll look stupid if they don't keep up, but we don't need any of their stinking currency, gold backed or otherwise IF we (say) had a hemp currency that was traded in hemp and started a whole new hemp/cannabis economy. Not only for a myriad of industrial/curative attributes but that it also can clean up the soil. We can kick this stupid economy out of the park just by doing things ourselves with people who are prepared to accept and spend the units of money that WE design and create. I don't understand why we haven't done this yet. I think most people cannot envision how splendid we could be living - each and every one of us. Nobody has to be "poor". Nobody has to go without a home or clean water and food. No matter what we do, it will be worthless ultimately, because it is the money that has to be addressed, because that is the vehicle that is used to enslave us. Getting off their money, will free us. But we can't go from the pot to the fire, the "gold" standard for a currency should be that it itself does not appreciate or depreciate. Because then it is made into a commodity and so we will remain in this paradigm. Using money purely as a measurement, like inches, will free us and we'll do it ourselves. So I say, anyone who really wants to be free, it means getting out of this system. Otherwise you are complicit in your enslavement. But if you want to be free, truly, deeply, madly, then it's not much for us to do. The fact that nobody is seeking this keeps us lagging. People don't believe we could be free by the third quarter of this year. Yeah I know, everyone just ignores that as nonsense. But that's because they are not curious. Nobody has asked me how. How do you propose that will happen, Denise? I don't get it, curiosity is the bedrock of intelligence. "Truthers" talk a lot about "ascension" but they're always telling others, rarely themselves. Just pointing it out.

I thought I told you I was interested in learning how, as in willing to collaborate.

Free by the third quarter of this year! Sign me up. Let me know when and where, and I'm there. I'm all about boots-on-the-ground. You know where I live.

P.S. my comment about the Gold Backs was my attempt to contribute. Readers might not even know about it. It's a start I think, after all, it's voluntary currency. I'm all about voluntary.

Yes me too and I'm not saying don't do it. It may be a bridge for some people to get more acquainted with being sovereign, but it will keep them also enslaved. We could be getting out of this entirely.

I am so glad you want to sign on and enthusiastically too!

I will message you with my plan!
