Newsome Picks Professional Child Murder Advocate to Replace Feinstein

Paul Collier October 3, 2023

Governor Gavin Newsome (D-CA) has selected Laphonza Butler, the President of Emily’s List, a Child Murder Advocacy Group, to replace Diane Feinstein as a Senator from California. Feinstein recently died in office well after many had recognized she was no longer fit to serve.

Butler is an advocate of abortion up to and even after birth, supporting live birth murder if it is the will of the mother. Emily’s List calls her “a leader in Democratic politics, campaign strategy, and the labor movement for decades.” They describe her as a woman who has “dedicated her life to empowering women and supporting them in finding their voice and using it to make meaningful change.”

For a woman like Butler, women’s rights boils down to being able to have casual, meaningless, disease-spreading sex without fear of the consequence of sex, pregnancy, for the child is slated, in her perverted anti-Christ mind, as the “Christ” who will pay for the sins of the mother and father that bore the child in sinful sex.

She said of inheriting her office from Newsome, “No one will ever measure up to the legacy of Senator Diane Feinstein, but I will do my best to honor her legacy and leadership by committing to work for women and girls, workers and unions, struggling parents, and off of California. I am ready to serve.”

Remember, she advocates murdering born children while pretending to represent struggling parents when the woman doesn’t even support motherhood. Rather, she wishes “woman” to be primarily associated with the right to murder your unwanted child for whatever reason you want, including murdering children that might have down syndrome, or murdering a child because they’re not a boy, or murdering a child because they don’t want their career interfered with.

We live in a truly depraved nation that would ever allow such perverted anti-Christ lunatics to ever represent any one of us, but then again, the woman has all of corporate America behind her, celebrating murdering unborn children, and even born children, and cancelling anyone that dares speak out against such wonton bloodlust.

California has fallen, and it sent another one of its anti-American, anti-human viruses to the well of the Senate to destroy what’s left of the American republic. May God have mercy on her reprobate soul, may she repent of her murderous heart and come back to the only true home any of us can ever have, the Kingdom of God.

The (Provisonal) Freedomist Pledge of Common Unity

Bill Collier September 29, 2023

The purpose of the Freedomist Pledge of Common Unity is to define the standards and norms Freedomists will be guided by in relationship to one another, in relation to our common goals, and in relationship with fellow citizens in our country. Freedomists pledge before God to affirm, uphold, and be guided by these ideals and principles within the greater framework of a new Christian civilizational paradigm, albeit respecting and welcoming all freedom seekers regardless of their faith, church affiliation, confession, or creed.

Four Core Ideals

The four core ideals of our civilizational paradigm which guide and inform our work and way of life together include a Biblical interpretation and understanding but a modern and forward-looking application of Unity in diversity, Popular sovereignty, Democratic equality, and Rule of law, which form the initials UPDR from whence the name of our civilizational paradigm, UPDRism, or Upadarianism, is derived.

These four core ideals are a litmus test for freewill participatory relationships, associations, organizations, and institutions of all kinds which we would deem to be free, healthy, positive, and both mutually beneficial and profitable to all participants in an equitable, just, and fair manner.

Through a balanced application of all four core ideals, which necessarily means no understanding of any single ideal could be disharmononious with any of the other core ideals, we can develop relationships and associations at every scale that enhance both individual well-being and the common good of whole groups, communities, national peoples, and countries.

Core Principles

Our core principles include social vision, social ethic, social goals, and the freedom vision.

Our social vision is based on a balanced application of collaboration, sustainability, and consensus. Our social ethic is based on a balanced application of well-being, justice, and autonomy. Our social goals are based on a dedication to upholding human agency, dignity, and flourishing. Our freedom vision is based on a balanced application of virtue, liberty, and independency.

We also consider, in how we understand and practice these principles, their adherence to the four core ideals, with an understanding that how we use the four core ideals depends on the type and nature of relationships and associations involved.

Four Core Authorities

While no relationship, association, or structure of aby kind, fits solely or precisely in any of these four authorities, and while, even within these four authorities elements like the others may exist, such that the line between them is semi-permeable, in general we see all of human civilization being governed more or less by these four core authorities.

The four core authorities we define as Ecclsium, Ethnium, Oikosium, and Koinonium. Ecclesium is basically the faith community but can be defined as any community of people specifically limited to a faith or creed. Ethnium is the expression and manifestation of nationhood or ethnicity through some form of freewill participation among peers. Oikosium covers most familial connections and bonds and economic activities. Koinonium is covenant and contract law and generally also includes entities like political states, but also any formal contractual or covenant-based relationship.

The concept of the four authorities shows the kinds of authority and while many entities and associations may primarily fit into one of the authorities, most at least have secondary elements that we would describe as being of hre essence of the other authorities. All four core authorities are scalable from the individual to the world, and at different levels, they may look differently as well while still being of the same essence.

The Nine Governments

As with the authorities, a particular entity may have elements of the other nine governments, and smaller entities may merge them, but the concept of the nine governments generally applies to governance and administrative structures, whether formal or not, within a system of some kind that balances to become something like a merit-based system of self-determination and mutual governance that makes decisions, pools resources, manages resources, and is the representative agency of a group or community of people.

The nine governments include the Regium as the harmonizing body in overall charge, albeit because some of the people in the other governments are also part of this government.

The Magisterium is like unto a political state or city, e.g. “Caesar” or the magistrate, albeit within the sacred limits of kings and kingdoms, even if it isn’t an actual political state. Under the Magisterium is the Governate, which directly oversees the Civitas and the Agorate as autonomous governments under its supervision but not control.

The Ethnium is a sociocultural and socioreligious body that provides social, cultural, educational, benevolence, and socioreligious services and direction, as well as standards and norms. Under the Ethnium, which is more about higher sociocultural norms that define a national people group, is the Societas which oversees two autonomous governments, the Ecclsium, and the Comunis.

While no existing government or governing body over non-state entities which are fairly comprehensive in their sphere of services and issues they address literally uses the nine governments framework, one can discern in any government or govervance body aspects of these nine governments in principle. If one understands the nine governments and how any decision-making structures must conform to the purposes, stakeholders, investors/owners, and the such necessary for their function one can discern both if a government or govervance body is effective and even just.

The Harmony of the Whole

Once one understands the core ideals, core principles, four authorities, and nine governments by themselves and then in harmonious relationship to one another, one can both litmus test existing entities or envision and build new entities that serve the greater good of human civilization, that honor God and Creation, and that liberate and empower each individual. This idealistic vision for a perfect system and a perfect civilizational paradigm is not however itself perfect, because it is human, and, moreover, any expectation that it can be perfectly applied and fulfilled even in this imperfect understanding or that it is going to result in utopia in any way should be considered dangerous and false.

A deeper and more nuanced understanding and practice of these things will result in better outcomes at every scale and can be pursued individually and in freewill participatory relationships and associations regardless of the surrounding system. Through finding gaps for freedom even within authoritarian systems we can develop greater autonomy and liberty for more aspects of our lives, relationships, and associations which tend to weaken authoritarianism and make it more likely that freedom will spread to more and more people everywhere.

Understanding and utilizing these ideals, principles, authorities, and governments while adhering especially to liberty, within our freedom vision, as defined by the original spirit and intent behind the US Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights, and then applying them to our lives, relationships, and associations inasmuch as we can is how we build freedom locally to globally.

We Pledge

We therefore pledge to God and to each other to pursue these things in our own relationships and associations with fellow Freedomists and in relation to other citizens and the world at large, by all legal and ethical means to protect the sanctity of our own and our loved one’s lives, property, wealth, liberty, and well-being against all hazards, foreign or domestic, official or unofficial, so help us God.

Republicans Push to Preserve Warrantless Search Powers

Paul Collier September 29, 2023

Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Act is coming up for renewal and a five-member panel called the Privacy and Civil Liberties Board issued a nearly 300-page report recommending limitations on warrantless searches to the section before it is renewed.

The panel is composed of three Democrats and two Republicans. The Democrats are recommending restrictions be placed to prevent American citizens from being caught up in the surveillance, as they appear to have been under the existing law. The Republicans oppose this limitation, citing concerns the intelligence community will be too bogged down to do effective work.

It is not often we find ourselves so starkly in agreement with Democrats and so diametrically opposed to Republicans, but our allegiance is first to God and then our Republic, which the Republicans, in this instance, seek to undermine. Where we differ from the Democrats is with their assertion that Section 702 should be renewed at all, even with these changes.

A senior administrative official told the press, “It is, in essence, two reports: A three-member report and a two-member report,” a senior administration official told reporters on Wednesday. “The fact that there’s such division … makes it hard for the hill to know what exactly to do with two competing reports.”

We have long been saying the greatest power the DNC-CCP has is the fact that the Republican Party is not true “republican” in nature, and, while it may not be radically opposed to the American republic like the DNC-CCP is, it is more interested in using the language of American republicanism without actually committing to laws that reflect American republicanism. They seek more to manipulate the American masses with American language during elections, but consistently fail to deliver American values when it comes to actually passing and enforcing legislation.

This action by Republicans on this panel further highlights the need for Americans to have American political parties rather than the two we currently have. 2024 will be a contest between opportunists hoping to exploit the language of America and seditionists openly working to destroy it, even using anti-American language to do it.

The Republicans fear disorder so much they are willing to sacrifice liberty to preserve it. The Democrats fear order so much, they are willing to sacrifice liberty to prevent it (until their brand of order comes into its full power).

The DNC-CCP will be appealing to the jealous, the lazy, the psychotic, the perverse to do win in 2024, bringing along a host of “Democrats” who yet still refuse to believe their party is anything other than a champion for the disenfranchised, who yet still refuse to believe their party has been co-opted by foreigners-in-spirit seeking to end liberty for all, including the liberty of those masses who foolishly vote for such a reprobate, Satanic party.

QAnon Man Arrested for Threatening to Kill Congresswoman For Allegedly Being Transgendered

Paul Collier September 29, 2023

Michael David Fox of New Mexico faces 5 years in prison after being arrested for leaving threatening messages to an unidentified Texas congresswoman. Fox believed the congresswoman (who was not named in the criminal complaint) was transgendered, which was his motivation for threatening to kill her. He cited his belief in Q Anon and believed his efforts would help accelerate “the plan.”

From the complaint: On May 18,2023 at approximately 9;04 PM, Michael David Fox (Fox) called the office of a congresswoman for the District of Texas, United States House of Representatives (‘V1″), who is from Houston, Texas. The call was received by Vl ‘s office, In the phone call Fox stated “Hey [Vl], you’re a man. It’s official. You’re literally a tranny and a pedophile, and I’m going to put a bullet in your fucking face. You mother fucking satanic cock sucking son of a whore. You understand me you fucker?” Law enforcement was able to trace the call back to Las Cruces, New Mexico, and it was believed that Fox was the user of cellular account used to make the call.

… Fox acknowledged that the threat was direct but claimed that he did not own any guns. Fox claimed to be a member of the Q2 Truth Movement, the Q Movement. Fox explained these movements believe all over the world there were transgender individuals running governments, kingdoms, and corporations. Fox explained that there is a plan called “Q the Plan to Save the World” which he learned about from an online video. Fox claimed that he believed Q was going to engage in the “eradication” of the people who were causing all the world’s misery. Fox believed that part of the eradication had already happened.

When confronted by the FBI, Fox exclaimed he had no gun, he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and that he rescinded the threat, apologizing for making it. What was not made clear in the criminal complaint is whether he rescinded the threat and apologized before or after he learned the congresswoman was not transgendered.

He was charged with interstate transmission of threatening communications, which carries a maximum penalty of 5 years in prison.

‘He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ So the servants said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’ But he said, ‘No, lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, “Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’” So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also. ‘ – Matthew 13:24-30

I include this passage of scripture as a reminder that we who believe are not called to burn the weeds, or the chaff. We are called to witness the glory of God to all creation. This man might rightly feel threatened, frustrated at the efforts by the DNC-CCP to force the trans-fascist ideology on the rest of us, including our children, but he took God’s law into his own hands and sought to potentially burn what he might have imagined was the chaff.

We at The Freedomist believe we are in particularly wicked times, times that demand the unrighteousness of the land be called out, plainly, in non-sanitized language so that evil may confront itself and seek repentance. We believe we are saved by grace alone, not works, lest we should boast, and thus we are no better than the chaff. We believe that chaff might one day become wheat and that only God knows who is doomed for condemnation and who has hope of restoration.

This is why we include this caveat in all our Weekday reports, to check the righteous anger with righteous mercy: “The Prophetic Voice in News?”

Whatever we might believe of our leaders, we trust in God, not man, and will work to legally, non-violently change our government to reject the Satanic practices of the DNC-CCP, but we will also accept our persecution, our trials and tribulations that God might have in store for us, for His glory.

As our audience grows, we recognize the chances we might reach someone like Michael David Fox will only increase. He is a man who clearly suffers from some form of mental illness, and we have no desire to give people like Fox any excuse to take God’s law into their own hands, to seek revenge that is only God’s to seek, to burn the chaff without knowing whether the chaff they are burning is destined by God to one day become wheat. We are no better than the chaff. We are sinners redeemed by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord, not by our own righteousness, which, without the Holy Spirit indwelling in us, is no righteousness at all.

The Apostle Paul was a murderer, yet God chose to deliver him to salvation, so that Paul, a choking weed, would one day become a sustaining wheat for the body of Christ.

I will leave you with this as a reminder of why we do what we do, boldy, bluntly, directly confronting sin and proclaim it to whoever will listen:

‘ And at the end of seven days, the word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul. ‘ – Ezekiel 3:16-19

When Joshua was about to lay siege to Jericho (Joshua 5:13-15), he was confronted with the “Commander of the Lord’s armies.” Joshua asked him whose side was he on, and he replied, “… I am the commander of the army of the Lord, Now I have come.” His answer is commonly interpreted to mean he is on the side of God and God alone, and so are we. We do not represent the right or the left, for neither side, in our opinion, is fully on God’s side as clearly Michael David Fox, who comes from the right, was not as well.

We pray for our enemies, that they may be saved by God’s grace, not given over to their passions which leads to the eternal death.

CIA’s New AI Tool Can Now Bring Americans Under One Digital Thumb

Paul Collier September 28, 2023

The Central Intelligence Agency, the same agency that paid researchers to alter their data to protect the CCP during the Coronavirus pandemic, now wants to expand its power to surveil Americans using an AI tool similar to ChatGPT that will comb the internet from stem to stern seeking private information about anyone and everyone, including Americans, it can put into its databases.

Randy Nixon, director of the CIA’s Open-Source Enterprise Division said, in an interview with Bloomberg, “We’ve gone from newspapers and radio to newspapers and television, to newspapers and cable television, to basic internet, to big data, and it keeps going.”

This AI tool is big data, and it’s intended to, according to Nixon “find the needs in in the needle field.” In other words, they want to be able to have any information then need on anyone, at any time, ostensibly to find the guilty but just as easily to find the dissidents. As a matter of fact, this writer assumes the tool is intended far more to police us than to protect us.

The most troubling part of this tool is that it not only gathers data, like ChatGPT, it produces content from that data off of user inquiry. Nixon made that clear when he said of the tool “Then you can it to the next level and start chatting and asking questions of the machines to give you answers, as sourced.” That query might be, “Who owns guns in this neighborhood and what are the best times to catch them off-guard?” Or it might be “Who are the homophobes in this community and where do they live?”

From Bloomberg:

It’s part of a broader government campaign to harness the power of AI and compete with China, which is seeking to become the global leader in the field by 2030. That US push dovetails with the intelligence community’s struggle to process the vast amounts of data that’s now publicly available, amid criticism that it’s been slow to exploit that source.

The CIA’s AI tool will allow users to see the original source of the information that they’re viewing, Nixon said. He said that a chat feature is a logical part of getting intelligence distributed quicker…

“Our collection can just continue to grow and grow with no limitations other than how much things cost.” (said Nixon)

Bank Records Show Joe Got Paid by CCP

Paul Collier September 28, 2023

The House Oversight Committee revealed bank transaction records that show Hunter Biden received two wire transfers from CCCP agents that went directly to Joe Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware home. The transfers amounted to a total of $260,000.

The first wire transfer was in July of 2019 from Ms. Wang Xin. The second wire transfer was in August of 2019 from Ms. Tan Ling and Li Xiang Sheng, for $250,000. All three of these individuals are high-ranking executives of BHR Partners “a Beijing-baked private equity firm controlled by the Bank of China Limited,” according to Fox New Digital. Hunter Biden was also on the board of the Communist-Party-controlled firm.

It should be noted the same day that this discovery was announced is the day a NY Judge decided he didn’t need any real evidence to determine Trump was guilty of fraud, a pattern that is oft-repeated by the DNC-CCP to give their content marketing firms, ABC News, CNN, etc., something scandalous about Trump to run with so they can continue to conceal their audience from the real criminal, the seditionist-in-Chief, Joe Biden.

While Trump stands accused of exaggerated his business value to get better loan deals, Joe Biden stands accused of direct treason against the United States of America for personal monetary gain. To the DNC-CCP run media outlets, Trump’s “fraud” is more important than having a sitting President being caught red-handed taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from an enemy of the American nation, the Chinese Communist Party, which shows the seditious nature of the whole DNC-CCP operation.

As this writer has pointed out in other reports, the DNC-CCP and its supporters live in a different country than America, Progmerica, which is no America at all. In Progmerica, it’s a criminal offense to oppose abortion, it’s a ‘far-right’ position to support the 2^nd Amendment representing our right to keep and bear arms against all enemies, foreign and domestic. And of course all these American ideas like individual liberty and rule of law are just dog whistles for white supremacism.

When they accuse of sedition or treason, they’re right, but only because their country, Progmerica, is diametrically opposed to our country, the United States of America as defined by our Declaration of Independence, from which authority’s power flows, to our Constitution, from which the boundaries of that authority are determined.

The DNC-CCP is a treasonous outfit determined to destroy the American republic and its content marketing firms are in complete agreement, and willing to use their culture-making power to protect the DNC-CCP and destroy any American voice that dare speak against it, including Trump, including me, including you.

Judge Moves to Shut Down Trump Inc.

Paul Collier September 28, 2023

In the latest lawfare assault against the perceived strongest opposition to the DNC-CCP, a New York Judge, Arthur Engoron, decided to find Trump guilty fraud in a summary judgment that essentially blocks Trump and certain Trump Inc executives from doing business in New York state anymore. The judge claimed the whole case was a documents case, charging him with fraud whenever he claimed the business was more valuable than the judge says it is, despite never going through the process of discovery to determine that alleged “fact.”

The ruling, if it is allowed to stand, could make criminals of anyone who estimated their net worth beyond what a judge thinks it is if that estimate was used to gain favorable terms. No one was harmed in this alleged fraud other than the Trump-deranged judge’s feelings.

The Judge said in his 35-page ruling, “the documents here clearly contain fraudulent valuations that defendants used in business, satisfying [the attorney general’s] burden to establish liability as a matter of law against defendants. Defendants’ respond that: the documents do not say what they say; that there is no such thing as ‘objective; value; and that, essentially, the Court should not believe its own eyes.”

The Court has no objective standard to assess the actual value of the Trump empire other than the judge’s unfounded opinions.

It could very well be that Trump exaggerated valuation claims in various business dealings and that could technically be deemed “fraud,” but these types of exaggerations are never prosecuted like they have been against Trump.

The judge was elected by an overwhelmingly Democrat-majority district and is a registered Democrat.

The Trump team will appeal this case, but unless they can get before American, as opposed to Democrat judges, that appeal is likely to fail until it reaches the Supreme Court. Then we can find out if the judiciary has any Americans left in it or not.

Trump said of the ruling, “I have a Deranged, Trump Hating Judge, who RAILROADED this FAKE CASE through a NYS Court at a speed never before seen.” This writer is inclined to agree with him. The ruling makes everyone ow at risk that does business in New York state and fails to comply to the will of the Democratic Party. This is just another reason for anyone who CAN escape Democrat-run states to do so before another leftist judge arbitrarily decides to find you guilty of fraud for challenging the party’s power.

EMPOWERMENT 101: Building A Sense Of Community

Bill Collier September 26, 2023

We propose that a most BASIC individual empowerment in our country MUST begin with an approach that restores the lost sense of community provided by faith, family, and mutual support, at least for those who desire freedom and who refuse to be limited, defined, or controlled by the present-day shot-callers in our civilization.

Most approaches to empowerment, which is you fulfilling your own God-given scroll of destiny and purpose and God’s best for your life, are either too esotoric and filled with buzzwords and catch-phrases or they lean on massive scale change through some form of collective activism. What they lack are both practical methods and attainable means. Citing some notion of getting in the flow of some energy or will of the universe is as useless to workaday people as wishing somehow to remake a city or country in your own image through collective action.

We aren’t arguing that none of these things are useful at all. They can be, and they can enhance and expand upon your own efforts to become empowered. But we are at “empowerment 101” here, not advanced empowerment where you want to dig deeper into your soul or where you want to help many other people find the same level of empowerment for themselves.

When I was in Mexico visiting friends who are like kin and saw how they approach life, and even how some live, mostly in close connection to an inner circle of people who have each other’s backs, I witnessed a lot of what I wrote about in terms of empowerment. Empowerment begins with an inner circle of people who care for each other as kin, as if the good of one is sought by all, and yet nobody’s individuality is subordinated to some weird collectivist hippy cult commune.

The end state of this stage for many may be something like I saw in Mexico, and which exists all over the world, basically a “family” estate which many members live in but which all resort to frequently for social and other purposes as the physical hub of their inner circle.

If we broaden the concept of family to include an innner circle of around 20-30 adult relatives and friends who are like family, with the nuclear family of a mom and dad with their children at the core, we begin to see what family can mean. Family is far more than a mom and dad with their children and dependents, and maybe an older parent who lives with them, but a collection of enough adult members so that most hazards and burdens can be handled internally and most needs can be meet, even if a few members are totally disabled or temporarily down and out.

The destruction of extended family groups like this, again not all members are related by blood or marriage, is a necessary precursor to creating economic and other forms of disempowerment because it makes the individual or a married couple and their children easy prey to almost any eocnomic or other pressure. The net effect is that you can’t pursue your dream, your vision, or your self-interest effectively outside of the limits, which others, even slightly more wealthy and/or influential people, set for you. Your energy and the fruits of your labor are spent at least partially in feathering someone else’s nest who doesn’t care a bit for you. For some, little of your energy and the fruits of your labor benefit you or your dreams very much at all.

In my experience, I witnessed a family group centered on one large house with multiple rooms and apartments, a sprawling and lively space with almost a perfect balance of public, semi-private (inner circle only), and private spaces where everyone could come together and where one could just as easily find solitude. Not everyone was a resident, and some residents were renters who nonetheless enjoyed access to some semi-private spaces and who were treated more or less like kin. The people who were part of this extended household included family and friends who lived on site, family and friends who didn’t live on site, but who were there a lot, and renters who lived on site.

This “villa”, in the heart of a historic Mexican city dating back over 400 years, was the central hub for multiple nuclear families and unmarried adults, complete with rentals to the public and even a few small shops right off the main street. Inside, one felt it was another world, set apart from the surrounding city, but not isolated from its life, and indeed very much a positive part of the city life. I was amazed at how little the people there realized the novelty of what to some sounds like an experiment in clustered living but which for them had been part of life more or less since the 1600’s, so obviously it is a workable model.

Due to respect for privacy, and because I wasn’t visiting there to compile a report for public consumption, I won’t share pictures or details. Suffice it to say, because I have a history with this family dating back to the 1990s, I was more or less treated as a member while there and experienced their life as if I had always lived there. It is a place I am happy to say that if I ever needed a respite or chose to leave my own country, where I would be welcome and fit in. My own desire to master Spanish is driven substantially by a desire to spend more time down there.

I may have been a Gringo to the outside world, but to these people I was like a relative visiting from abroad and “coming home”, and that will always be something I deeply cherish. That their instinctive, unplanned model of community tracks so well with my own planned and envisioned model of community doesn’t surprise me because I studied family and community models across many cultures and civilizations from the most ancient to the most modern times and discerned in them a pattern which very much looks like this Mexican family’s estate, both the phyical space and the people/relationships within it.

The ability to form a close-knit inner circle of local people who, inasmuch as they can, approximate this ideal, even if their only hub is a single house and none cluster together on one piece of real estate, is essential to the kind of empowerment that one doesn’t have to be rich to attain and that is stronger than most of the external pressures that often rob you of your empowerment today.

In Mexico, this family already had a ready-made community of people, but they have welcomed others in, such as myself. Perhaps you and your family and friends have a ready-made community and don’t realize it, but as many families are dispersed and live in different states and as many of our friends may be online, and as few neighbors know each other, the idea of trying to form some sort of “intentional estate” with 20-30 other local adults is daunting. Despite this, however, it is the ultimate necessity, though by no means does it have to begin there and, if you use these ideas, you can enjoy real benefits well before that ideal is achieved.

Family can form around a number of things including blood and marriage, some experience unique to your group (like veterans), religious and/or philosophical convictions about life and its meaning, or something we refer to as a form of “intentional nationhood.” The concept behind intentional nationhood is that there are multiple connection points between individuals whose strength is such that when people act in unity it is more a natural effect of their shared identity and purpose and requires little or no directed management from some “authority.”

Unlike blood and marriage kinship, nationhood is something people have to understand and adopt willingly, from the heart, because it just FITS who and what they are, which also means that when they find others of the same nationhood, there is a strong instant connection to build rapport and engagement around. Loosely similar to this, the fact I know this family’s history, try to speak the language, eat the same food, have the same essential beliefs, and the such, all allowed me to form a sort of nationhood with them, even to the point I have been given an adoptive name I use with them. A part of me is Mexican, even though by blood I have no Mexican ancestry, though my wife certainly does.

I should note also that the vision for a new globally distributed form of nationhood people can adopt to connect with a worldwide community of like-minded fellow travelers would easily fit within the “shared nationhood” that this extended family group seems to follow, even if they don’t use the term. I anticipate for many extended family groups in Mexico, adopting this global nationhood as part of their own nationhood will probably be easier than for many Americans, but that it is essential that Americans learn to do this, or something like it, if we are to restore the social fabric in this country.

Forming a sense of community with others can begin with a semi-formal agreement as to a set of ideals and principles and/or goals but also a pledge of mutual support through something like what we call “the four questions of fellowship”, namely:

Does anyone know of a praiseworthy example of success that we could benefit from learning and applying to our lives and our fellowship together?

Does anyone have an example of a cautionary tale or of failure we would do well to take cognizance of in our lives and in our fellowship together?

Does anyone have a problem or need or situation they cannot handle and for which they cannot get help or advice which we might assist them with or advise them regarding?

Does anyone need an introduction to some person of influence, wealth, or power who can advance their career, business, or situation which perhaps we might help them with?

If you found 5-10 people to get together on a regular basis and break bread over these four questions, you would naturally, organically, and without much fuss or hassle begin the experience the benefits of a what will feel more and more like an extended family group than just a few friends. This simple direction added to your fellowship together will add many new dimensions and open up opportunities for mutual advancement and advantage that nobody can predict or outline as some “program.”

In addition to these questions, there is a need for a pledge, we use the term “Pledge of Common Unity”, which is more detailed and specific, but basically comes down to you pledge to follow the same standards and norms among each other AND to do all in your power and means to support and protect one another to the degree you feel their well-being, happiness, and success is also essential to your own well-being, happiness, and success.

We detail ideals and principles which form the basis of our shared standards and norms and how we will mutually support one another as well as some of our shared goals, for instance outreach to help the needy and support for refugees. What is important is to essentially create a charter that acts as a pledge that is specific enough to be meaningful without being overwrought with formality and non-essentials. A loose pledge has no meaning or value because it doesn’t translate to action, but a narrow and too detailed pledge can become, frankly, controlling and cultish in its effect.

Starting to build a sense of community is as simple as that. But finding people who will take the plunge may be more difficult. It’s probably the hardest first step to define your community, e.g. beliefs and purposes, then to somehow reach people who see that and say, “I like that, it fits me.”

If you have close-knit family and friends already, find what is common to them, define your community on that basis, and ask them to participate in your periodic gatherings, using a meal and the four questions, for mutual support and benefit. If most of my closer kin moved near me, we would easily have a sense of community and could work toward building a family estate because in terms of religion, lifestyle, and philosophy, the adoption of the global nationhood I am promoting actually fits them well.

But in many cases, this isn’t possible. You may not have a church home, which can be a place where you find fellow travelers willing to participate in such an adventure, but you may not. You may live in an area where you know a few other people who you would be willing or able to become so connected to. In these cases, starting an online club around your idea and advertising, perhaps through fliers or even online ads, to find like-minded people around you may be all you can do. This may cost less than or around a few hundred dollars over time, but as soon as you find 5 or so people the chances are one or more of them will know other people they can recommend to join your club.

If you stay tuned in this space, we will have examples of charters, including how to use or adapt our Pledge of Common Unity and/or our Pledge of Peers, to form your own independent, Freedomist, or what we call Upadarian (new word alert: the name for a specific global Christian community), Communities. We are offering affiliation within our larger Freedomist and/or Upadarian frameworks, but the concepts, methods, and practices for forming community with others can be adapted easily to your own thing as well.

In conclusion, we posit the idea that if you seek empowerment to be able to follow your own path of destiny and purpose and to fulfill what you see as God’s best for your life, then “empowerment 101” for you should be to find and form your own inner circle who begin with shared standards and norms and at least the four questions of fellowship along with some sort of pledge for mutual support, assurance, and benefit that feels like kinship.

Scientists Discover the Most Primitive Form of “Thought-Making” Cells

Paul Collier September 22, 2023

A primitive animal called a placozoan may contain the secrets of the fundamental building blocks of thought-making cells. The animal is blob-like in appearance and is composed of only 50,000 cells, compared to 30 trillion cells humans are comprised of. But the blob placozoan has one similarity with humans, they have cells capable of sharing messages with one another, the fundamental building blocks of “thought producing” cells.

From elpias.com: The researchers care for thousands of placozoans in their laboratory in the Center for Genomic Regulation, in Barcelona. According to their calculations, multicellular animals emerged about 850 million years ago. Soon afterward, around 800 million years ago, the paths of the families that gave rise to placozoans and humans diverged. “People have a tendency to see living fossils in nature. We don’t know if our common ancestor looked like a placozoan, but some aspects of its biology were already there,” says Sebé Pedrós, a 37-year-old biologist from the Spanish town of Lleida. GO DEEPER

His team studied the four known species of placozoans cell by cell, including the first placozoan ever discovered, which was found in 1883 by the German zoologist Franz Eilhard Schulze in a seawater aquarium in Graz, Austria. Schulze baptized that mysterious creature Trichoplax adhaerens, from the Greek words thrix (hair) and plax (plate) and the Latin word adhaerens (adhering), which was given this name due to its tendency to stick to its substrate. In other words, its name could be roughly translated as “adhering hairy plate.” Placozoans are the simplest animals on the planet, barring Myxozoa, parasites with few cells that cannot live on their own.

In their research, Sebé Pedrós and his colleagues observed that placozoans are capable of coordinating their 50,000 cells thanks to the fact that some of them can send messages using molecules called neuropeptides, like the neurons in the human brain. “We have found a rudiment of certain aspects of our nervous system,” says the biologist. These secretory cells still lack the processes that transmit nerve impulses (axons) and the processes that receive them (dendrites) in human neurons.

This article starts off with this phrase, which led this writer to want to utilize this story, and another one related to it, to flush out the ramifications of pursuing understanding through the framework of the atheist materialist versus that of the biblically-centered Christian: Most religions across the world have a similar origin story, in which an almighty god creates mankind, out of nothing, with a fully functioning brain. But placozoans — a blob-like animal less than a millimeter in size that floats in seawater — suggest otherwise. They may go unnoticed, but they are extraordinary creatures.

From an atheist materialist perspective, you are seeing the evidence of the relationship that this blob creature, this placozoan, has with humans. We must have a common ancestor and at some time we split apart, with one branch leading to blobs and the other leading to humans. From a biblical perspective (the perspective this report seeks to emulate) we are seeing one of the ways in which God has created the fundamental building blocks of his biological creations.

Studying this organism can lead us to better understand human thought as a biological phenomenon, which can lead to more effective treatments for people who suffer a biological impediment to thought itself.

At the same time as this study was revealed, scitechdaily.com covered another study that theorized genes for thought (they use the phrase “learning and memory”) are 650 million years old. They theorize that the emergence of these types of genes led to the Cambrian Explosion, a period that saw an explosion of diverse organisms that still confounds evolutionary theory to this day (and which this new “theory” fails to adequately address).

From SciTech Daily: “This finding has profound implications on the evolutionary origin of complex behaviors such as those modulated by monoamines we observe in humans and other animals.”

The authors suggest that this new way to modulate neuronal circuits might have played a role in the Cambrian Explosion – known as the Big Bang – which gave rise to the largest diversification of life for most major animal groups alive today by providing flexibility of the neural circuits to facilitate the interaction with the environment.

Dr. Feuda added: “This discovery will open new important research avenues that will clarify the origin of complex behaviors and if the same neurons modulate reward, addiction, aggression, feeding, and sleep.”

In 1620, Francis Bacon published the work “The Great Instauration.” That book could be seen as the unintended starting point of the quest for man to make himself by deriving wisdom from below instead of from above. Bacon himself was no proponent of this materialist myth, the myth these researchers are mired in, rather, he recognized that the use of what is called “induction,” (deriving higher principles from lower ones, such as observing material and documenting your observations, which became the scientific method) can be a great tool for Christians to understand material being for the higher purpose of witnessing the glory of God to all creation by being a steward of material, by manipulating material for the glory of God. When it came to wisdom, Bacon was still using deduction, deriving particular truths, atomized truths if you will, from higher truths, the Word of God through which the nature and will of God is revealed through the Holy Spirit to all those who fear and love the Lord.

It was a Christian invention, the scientific method, derived to glorify God, but in the hands of these researchers, and others like them, it’s become a Satanic tool that seeks to glorify man by imagining he can derive his own wisdom (he can “know”, or define, Good and Evil for himself, he can define justice) from the stones, from the material alone.

So their research is about justifying their own depravity, rejecting the creator in exchange for a lie, rather than what Christian researchers would do, use this understanding of the basic building blocks of thought to create aid and comfort to creation for the purpose of glorifying the only living God, the God of Isaac and Jacob, the I Am tnat is Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Illinois Governor Does Secret Deal with CCP, Setting Up Battery Company in State

Paul Collier September 22, 2023

The Chinese Communist Party-owned Gotion, a battery manufacturing company, did a secret deal with the Billionaire anti-American radical far left governor J.B. Pritzker that allowed them to set up a factory in a community that wants nothing to do with them. That community is Manteno, Illinois, and the residents are angry at the governor for allowing this sedition to take place on their lands.

Daily Caller talked to some of the residents after the done deal was announced by the treasonous governor on September 8. One resident, Darrel Bruck Jr, Told Daily Caller “There was absolutely no public participation or notification that this was going [on],” Darrel Bruck Jr., a longtime resident of Manteno who runs an informational group called “Outrage of Kankakee County. There were probably 200 people [at the announcement], but the public was not invited. It was strictly for local politicians, the mayor, some local people who owned land who will make a lot of money off strip malls and such.”

Daily Caller connects this CCP-owned company to another anti-American extreme far left seditionist governor, Gretchen Whitmer, who has allowed the company to build plants in that state as well. From the Daily Caller: The Chinese parent company of Gotion Inc., which intends to build two electric battery plants in Michigan, established a joint venture company with a “Communist Chinese Military Company (CCMC) Subsidiary” in 2016, according to the framework agreement.

In 2016, Gotion High-Tech became the majority shareholder of Energine Guoxuan (Tangshan) New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., after entering into a Strategic Cooperative Framework Agreement with China Energine International (Holdings) Limited, according to an announcement on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange’s issuer website and a 2016 interim report published by China Energine.

Republican State Representative John Moolenar (R) alerted the treasonous Governor to the company’s CCP ties, telling Daily Caller, “It is no surprise that Gotion High-Tech partnered with China Energine to develop products for China’s military. The finding that Gotion High-Tech has done business directly with China’s military is further proof that Gotion is not a good partner to build in Michigan.”

Like the Democrat Governor of Illinois, Whitmer sees no problem inviting the CCP onto American soil even as the CCP works to end our republic, testified even by our own military, which is busy retooling its whole military structure to meet the rising threat of an imperialist fascist regime.

Watching the DNC-CCP embrace the fascist CCP at home while larping at being anti-fascist on that same soil should tell you everything you need to know about the seditious nature of the leftism this Democratic Party has embraced and is now attempting to force on the American people, against their will, and in violation of our Rule of Law, our Constitution, and ESPECIALLY our Bill of Rights.
