In my years working in the Liberty Movement, and other movements which support U.S. sovereignty, exposure of the private Federal Reserve, and opposition to globalism, I have heard many criticisms. Often, those criticisms have faded as the warnings we put forth on the economy and the state of American society are proven correct, however, one nagging debate point is still used quite often by cynics and skeptics whose naïve knee-jerk reactions have only driven our movement forward into the mainstream; if we are “so certain” that a monetary collapse is being deliberately engineered, then when are we going to offer a solution, instead of simply pointing out the problem?

While the question appears rational, its intent is driven by an overall ignorance of the big picture. Offering up specific solutions to a problem so fluid and complex is a dangerous business, especially when the nature of the problem could transform at a moment’s notice. However, as we near a crossroads in the progression of world events, especially pertaining to the U.S. dollar, it does seem that now more than ever people are waiting to see if the Liberty Movement is all web chatter and Youtube videos, or if we are going to take more tangible action in the real world. I believe now, before the second phase of the collapse rolls into full motion, we must begin taking such actions, and I believe we must start with that which we are most absolutely certain.

In our view here at Neither Corporation, a collapse of the Greenback is a certainty, and I believe we have clearly and effectively shown why:

Now, we would like to offer more to the movement than just analysis of the current situation. We would like to put forth possible scenarios by which each individual can help to protect the American economy, and American constitutional rights. Right here and now, we are going to “stick our necks out,” and offer specific solutions. Hopefully, they will help…

Combating Disinformation

The first step is a strategy which the movement has already mastered, but now the rules are changing slightly as we near a collapse, and we have to be sure to adapt. Combating disinformation is a primary concern, because awareness leads to action. Without awareness, a man becomes nothing but a spectator in his own life and his own environment. He can change nothing. The bottom line is: the more people we educate about the horrors of globalism and the NWO, the more likely will be our success in saving this country and ourselves. Even when the house is falling down around their ears, many Americans will not see the danger until it is too late, or, until we help them to understand the cause of the crisis.

Many people are not comfortable engaging strangers face-to-face with unpleasant information. It is a thankless and grueling task. Not everyone has the personality of a street canvasser, and even those individuals sometimes doubt their own mastery of the information, and their ability to defend their positions when confronted with unexpected questions. Therefore, many of us have instead preferred to engage in information warfare from the comfort of our homes, behind a keyboard. This is not wrong, in fact it is one of our most effective tools. However, there are other tactics to consider.

One thing everyone can easily do is to print materials and DVDs and insert them into the mailboxes of all their neighbors. Not only does this tactic eliminate the issue of face-to-face confrontation and potentially empower individuals who are too shy for conflict, there is a second critically important motivating factor which is perhaps overlooked by the Liberty Movement.

When one lives in a neighborhood with a greater number of informed people, one makes one’s self, and one’s family, safer as a result. The breakdown of centralized political structures necessitates an increased emphasis on the importance of community. In the midst of a financial breakdown, it will be far too late to begin attempting to inform your neighbors. It is critical that we all begin right now to make sure that our communities are aware of what they are facing, and prepared to work together towards a common goal of self-sufficiency.

By informing your neighbors, you create a potential cluster of strength and stability, and you will have more people to rely on if the need should ever arise. We all engage people on the internet anonymously, and this is ideal for starting brushfires of dissent in far away places. But in all likelihood, if the time came when you or your family needed help, those people would only be able to send you their sympathies.

We will need the people geographically closest to us to be in communication and fully informed. Therefore, your neighbors should become the primary target of information campaigns. Approach those neighbors with whom you rarely speak. Make new friends in your area. If you aren’t comfortable doing that, or if you feel that they are still not ready, then at least give them the tools necessary to begin the process of informing themselves. Foster and accelerate this process in every possible way.

We must never give up in the communication of truth. This is absolutely essential.

Ensure Our Own Safety So That We Can Later Help Others

If one is aware, then one should prepare. This includes stocking tangible goods that are necessary for survival and reconstruction. Foods that store for long periods of time, water filtration systems, medical supplies, firearms for hunting and self defense, ammunition for defense as well as trade, various tools and gardening supplies, non-GMO seeds, books and reference materials on all the subjects above.

The goal is to set oneself up independently from the system, as well as to be ready to help others who are still attached to the system to become independent. The more self-sufficient people there are in an economic environment, the more difficult it will be for a collapse of the system to turn into a catastrophe.

Most people in the Liberty Movement have probably already taken on these first two steps in order to help protect this country, but now comes the hard part…

The Anti-Globalist Strategy

As we have shown in previous articles, the collapse of the economy and the dollar is quite deliberate. The goal of central bankers is to force Americans into a position of desperation so acute that they will accept the IMF’s “Special Drawing Rights” (global currency) and give up their economic sovereignty. This in turn will eventually lead to centralized world government and an end to the constitutional protection of human rights. The dollar has already been dismantled through the inflationary practices of the private Federal Reserve, though the effects are delayed. There is nothing we can do now to save it from collapse. However, we can lessen the damage significantly if we organize around certain principles quickly…

If the system withholds an important social need, then provide it for yourself and others. Eventually, the system will try to stop you, or it will be forced to conform to you.

What does our system today lack that we need to survive and grow as a people? Which of these essentials or services can we take on ourselves? Here is a short list:

1. A Stable Economy

We may not be able to save our currency under today’s conditions, and we cannot yet force corporations to return our manufacturing base which they shipped overseas decades ago, but what we can do, is begin building our own economy independent of the globalist controlled one.

I propose a concerted effort by the millions of members of the Liberty Movement to begin an underground barter economy. This economy would have to start out as small unconnected communities of people across the country begin a trade system inside their own neighborhoods and towns. This system could eventually branch out into an interstate trading organization.

In order for this new “Free People’s Market” to remain autonomous, trade would have to operate on a barter system, or on a gold and silver standard, outside of any fiat currency or government regulation. The beauty of a barter system is that it is impossible for any government authority to track, regulate, or tax. They could try to make it illegal, but such a law would be very difficult to enforce. This network could be organized on numerous websites including here at Neithercorp, and with a little caution, it could be set up with minimum interference.

Ask yourself this question: what can you do to survive in a barter economy?

A barter economy cannot sustain commerce forever, but it is an effective stop gap for a time. Think of what tangible skills you have acquired and how they could be valuable to others. Are you a construction worker or electrician? Do you have engineering skills? Are you an excellent farmer or gardener? Are you a better hunter than most? Can you fix engines, tools, or firearms? Can you provide security for others? Do you have a farm or ample land? Are you skilled at tailoring, or shoemaking? What about canning or jarring goods? Soapmaking, candlemaking? Medical knowledge? If you don’t have any of these skills, how many can you learn before a dollar collapse occurs?

In order to do well in a barter economy, you must think in terms of necessity. What do people really need, and what can you provide for trade.

2. Micro Industry

Most Americans do not have the provisions to build their own massive factory or power station, but this is not important. Globalist and corporate business philosophies push towards a “depersonalization” of industry making us feel disconnected from the infrastructure that dominates our lives. So what do we do? The opposite! We make industry smaller, and personal, and we do it in every community.

Say you have a decent parcel of land and your neighborhood has recently been cut off from the power grid because of the collapse. If you planned ahead of time, you could set up a small solar power field, or wind turbine field. You could provide electricity and refrigeration for trade in your neighborhood. What if you add a well and pumps, or some Ecolo Blue water generators to your solar grid? Now you can also provide clean drinking water.

This is only one example of a post collapse “micro-industry.” If this is undertaken in every community by intelligent and honest people, the affects of an economic collapse would be greatly diminished.

3. Organized Wealth Preservation

I hate to give any credit to the Chinese and their brutal communist regime, but I suggest everyone in the U.S. look closely at the habits of the citizens of that country in the past couple decades. The Chinese government has been quietly increasing its gold reserves for years while at the same time slowly encouraging its citizens to begin investing in their own precious metals. They have also been saving a large percentage of their personal income. Any collapse in the U.S. will have severe reverberations around the world, but look carefully at how China has positioned itself. Even if they lose their export markets here in the U.S., they have the savings to stave off the effects of a deflationary reaction in their own country. Because millions of Chinese citizens have created their own “wealth buttress,” the overall economy is protected from total chaos.

If enough Americans take up the same strategy by purchasing at least a small amount of gold and silver now, it could throw a wrench in the gears of the globalist-engineered devaluation of the dollar. Every citizen that holds precious metals becomes a hedge against collapse. If every member of the Liberty Movement purchases even a small amount of silver or gold, altogether, we become a major wealth protection pool for the country. A dollar collapse is of little consequence to those holding precious metals, as they only go up in value as the dollar sinks.

4. Community

Though globalists often claim that they want nothing more than to create a “global” sense of community, their philosophies and methods actually involve breaking people apart, making them feel isolated and helpless while forcing them to submit to some imaginary “greater good”. This is called collectivism.

True community, a community of free thinking individuals, is a major threat to the mechanics of globalism. If our system refuses to support true community, then we must provide it for ourselves. The Free People’s Market is one method, but there are many others. The Liberty Movement is already a sort of community, millions strong! However, organization must eventually take place more often outside the internet. I believe this should also start small, as people of like mind connecting with others in their neighborhoods and towns. Group meetings to discuss politics and the economy at a neutral location such as a park or a library could help to facilitate community building.

The goal here is to increase effectiveness and safety through solidarity.

5. The Philosophy Of Self Defense

Many people abhor violence, and rightly so, but this pervasive pacifism in certain subsections of American culture is often taken to extremes, making people completely incapable of defending themselves and those they care for. Regardless of what we are told by the mainstream, self-defense is a purely moral and honorable act, not to mention, essential for survival in a post collapse scenario.

Remember, to combat globalism requires self-sufficiency, and this includes being able to protect one’s self without the help of authorities, or in the worst case scenario, against authorities who have overstepped the bounds of Constitutional law. For every man or woman who is proficient in self-defense, the aim of the globalists becomes exponentially more difficult. This serves as an important deterrent to tyranny, and is quite possibly one of the primary reasons why the globalists have taken so long to bring tyranny to our shores.

Those in the Liberty Movement who do not have experience in hand-to-hand combat should start intensive training now. Those who are not proficient in firearms should purchase one and practice at the range weekly until he/she is comfortable with their shooting technique.

In my 22 years of experience in the Martial Arts, I have found that effective self-defense is 90% mental, and 10% technique. This goes for any stressful situation involving conflict. Martial Artists train for years not only to prepare their bodies for that split second moment of life or death, but also their minds. Accepting the possibility of unmitigated violence, being ‘at peace’ with it, knowing that you will not be frozen with fear when the time comes, is more important than anything else in self-defense. I would even venture to say that life itself becomes much more clear when this kind of mental strength is actively fostered.

6. Become the Leader You Wish We Had

All of the suggestions made above, I believe, can help to stop globalism and the effects of financial breakdown; however, they are worthless if not enough people take the initiative to make things happen for themselves. Those who are not afraid of risk, who are driven to create possibilities, who have the will to take a stand, are those who make a difference in the world. Anyone else is merely caught in the whirlwind of history, either as a silent observer, or a victim.

We must make our world our own again, as individuals, and as a movement. We must each and every one of us become the leader we have been searching so desperately for. We must take responsibility for the future, for if we do not, there are other men not so honorable who are happy to do it for us.

Life builds upon the good we do here now.
