Ah Yes! Modern life. We have so much to be thankful for, or... at
least we should be thankful. Many have purchased our life style with
their own lives. Sometimes it’s easy to forget as they’re no
longer here. Those people of this first free nation sacrificed 50% of
there population just to settle here.
It wasn’t much easier even 100 years after the pilgrims
landed at Plymouth. Francis Scott Key wrote the lyric to The Star
Spangled Banner while watching our country men die just holding up
our flag in battle against the British.
Even now our country struggles as its basic five redeeming values
wither in the hearts of so many of our would be country men. The only
reason the pilgrims survived at all was because of these five values.
The 5 Values
-
Faith in God’s revelation, our fellow man, and ourselves.
-
Morality primarily to God’s law and then to our own laws.
-
Written Law, the map and instruction to maintain civil structure.
-
Education, morale societies don’t exist very long
without clear review of their own law.
-
Liberty is the only way we know... what we know. As we daily
demonstrate our understanding, without coercion, we set our
reputation and demonstrate our knowledge.
However, our enemies know where to attack us. How many times have
we been told God is dead; celebrate the human body with everyone;
laws are old fashioned; we need only be educated in the latest
technology; and liberty is bought with money.
So, this is the first quality I would like to sow here. Technology
is only as good as the education of those using it. Basically if you
can’t build it or manage it yourself you are becoming a slave.
If you rely on a cell phone for entertainment, education,
communication, and a sense of worth; it can only be used as a flash
light for a short time when the power goes out. Cell phones teach
people to trust the system and not their own thoughts. When we give
the likes of Facebook, Google, and Twitter the right to tell us what
we think oh boy, slavery here we come. So many lives given so we can
surrender to not?
So, we decided to start all over again. We’re going to attempt to
build Community Resource Centers. These centers will be using all of
the ideas and tech (especially! non computer tech) we’ve discovered
to grow, make, and build the essentials of life. We have found flaws
in the conventional thinking about disaster relief. The biggest flaw
is that we’ve moved our resource creation (aka food) miles and
countries away. So, when the trucks and trains can’t run we’ll
suffer (aka starve). We believe that a few of us need to recreate
renewable resources locally to stem this potential problem. And! if
we can fix a few nutritional, social, and economic problems along the
way… so much the better.
We are actively involved in the best kind of politics “local”.
So many people we’ve met in our political responsibilities
don’t invest in the local and primary elections. They think we
live in a democracy and don’t see the need in voting in good
local politicians. However, we live in a republic. Our local
politicians can control and hold accountable our higher governors if we’re fervent in their selection.
In the Community
Club we will focus on our
Blocque Store
Recycling Centers
Supporting and
training small local businesses
Building
community self-reliance
Setting up
proven education opportunities
Create
opportunities to advance old technologies
Liberate the
minds and bodies of our neighbors
We feel we’re
becoming techno-drones to the powers that be and not the people of
agency and self-awareness we were meant to be. We even think the Amish
might have a few brilliant ideas we can learn!
