Divide and Conquer works amazingly well. If you’re paying attention and you have half a brain, you’ll know this well by now… The tactic works really well, and without a whole lot of effort! Just set everyone at each other, in as many ways as possible, and you have a swirling mass of discombobulated citizens who can’t keep their eyes on the prize, much less on the Bad Guys. We need Focus. Determination. Unity.
I’m going to try and invigorate this idea by listing some ideas of what I’d like to see, first, and then we Substackers can bat it around for a while and maybe get a consensus, and then expand our circles. And we do need to get busy, I think. Like, right now, maybe?! We’ve been talking and talking for two years, in a stupor of disbelief/agonized awareness. It’s time for a bit of movement, and not just to get up and pee or get more coffee. We are not cats, after all.
Even the cats are looking at us askance for sitting around too much, and cats are the most sleep-ish creatures on the planet! (At least they’re not sheep-ish!) Eh, woof, kittehz!
So: Let’s fire it up…
Let’s talk about, and set about pushing for, some basic stuff that we all want. I’ll show you my ideas, and then you can add to them, and if you are a SS writer, go for it on your page, too. I think we can just make some demands, and it would be good if we can ALL want the same things, and keep the list short at first… Just to get started, mind you; there’s plenty of demands to be made.
STOP the chem trails, all of it, everywhere
Build REVERSE OSMOSIS water treatment plants everywhere
DEMAND organic, regenerative farming everywhere
I think these things are High Priority and something everyone can get behind… Right? Am I right! Of course I’m right! I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken. Harf, harf, harf!
Point being: WE THE PEEPS (and Guard Dogs) need to start being pro-active. We need to agree on things we want, and the order we want them in. The controversial ones can be dealt with later, after we’ve made some strides. We must look to the Absolutely Essential right now… remembering, always, that this is the MOST CRITICAL TIME EVER on Planet Earth. We have to save this beautiful blue marble for those yet to come, and for all the rest of the Critters, and for the Planet itself.
We are the chosen ones, all of us now alive.
Get up, stand up: Stand up for Your Life. FOR ALL LIFE.
Check out another Substacker, my friend Rob D, who is also engaged in this Quest:
I believe it all starts changing when we realize that the only people who can get us out of any of the madness going on...is us! We must learn how to start building relationships with one another again. Being supportive of one another. Putting our differences aside the best we can and building the future despite whatever else is going on in the world. It takes time, heart and energy, but it's worth it. Many of the challenges facing our world are made possible because of ignorance. The only way (IMHO) we overcome that ignorance is with relationships first and *then* education. It's not going to be easy, but nothing worth doing ever is. And I am ranting to myself in this as well. We've grown lazy, jaded and aloof. We must start believing in ourselves and our fellow human beings again. And we *can* change things. I feel a new spirit rising around us and tho things are going to be difficult, different and sometimes downright depressing in the days to come, I am very excited about the future.
“I believe we are living here now at this crossroads for a reason. I believe we are meant to be here; that we are being given a chance to be the right people in the right place at the right time. I believe that we can end this evil, but only if we dare to try. It begins with one simple step: Telling the world “We Will Not Comply!”
