By Bill Collier- We don’t trust any major “platform” or even any US or international institution, to tell the truth, to play fair, or to look out for the good of the people and we have very good reasons to exercise a healthy and robust level of skepticism.
The fact people trust our national and international establishment and its ruling class and that they are outraged others are skeptical is amazing! The “disinformation” and other labels designed to force-feed parroted lines and cancel the skeptical should be all the proof you need not to trust any of these people or institutions.
Misinformation is the new rallying cry for modern authoritarians, especially the monopolistic platform owners, who want to silence and disappear all dissent from the Democratic Party line. Those who doubt and dissent from the preachments of the intelligence community, the science community, health care institutions, the press, the platforms, academia, and the entertainment industry as well as near-monopoly corporations are accused of “misinformation” and “canceled.”
Put another way, the owners of the major platforms and the press are almost entirely partisan Democrats for whom the advancement of the Democratic Party is their greatest goal.
Honestly, WHY should you trust a government or any leading national or international institution after the last few decades of gross, dangerous, and outlandish lies going back to “weapons of mass destruction” and the so-called “Russia collusion” scandal? Why trust that anything these institutions say is reliable or even aboveboard?
The corruption of these institutions, whereby holders of power abuse their position and cover up their failures, is all-too well known. We cannot reasonably trust anything these institutions and their ruling class say or do as anything that is truly meant to enrich themselves and not the country or its people.
The truth is, the platforms especially, and all major institutions controlled by the Democratic Party, want to desperately avoid accountability and allow a group of less than 20 major power brokers determine who can speak and what they can say. In such an environment, when all the DNC-controlled institutions parrot the same lines, the thoughtful person has strong reasons to view such preachments with extreme caution. Quite simply, we know they lie, we know they suppress dissent, and we know they have demonstrated criminal incompetence that has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths.
Those who parrot all the typical lines coming from America’s neocommunist wokatariate, the wokecomms, and their Party, the Democratic Party, often pretend they are thinking for themselves and are somehow on the “cutting edge” or even “on the right side of history.” Everything from the alt gender rainbow intolerance for traditional views on marriage and family to the mass inoculations of the entire population over the pandemic, is colored by the desire of the ruling class to gain monopoly power once and for all.
It is not “radical” to say “I may not agree with what you say, but I’ll fight to the death form your ability to say it.” Now the Democratic Party and the institutions it controls, such as the US Capital Police and the CDC, want to tell us what kind of speech is permissible. They use hobgoblins and imaginary threats like white supremacy, hate speech, and misinformation but the only Party benefited by these arbitrary claims which they cannot support with logic or evidence are the billionaire owners of the Democratic Party.
If you consider yourself woke and then consider that all your major ideas and the things that animate you are quite literally being force-fed to the population while everyone who disagrees faces being canceled, don’t imagine you are on any cutting edge or that you are on the right side of history.
The ideas you parrot and think are so edgy are ideas that demand and require authoritarian measures to enforce them. For any decent, thinking person, this is itself proof that those ideas, including the whole alt gendered rainbow panapoly of identities and enforced compliance, and all the other mantras of the establishment, are garbage.
Skepticism about the preachments of the leading national and international institutions is reasonable and could be life-saving.
The Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in Guangdong province is leaking higher levels of radiation than are normally allowed according to recent reports. Problems were reported by the plant’s co-owner, Electrictie de France (EDF). EDF owns 30% of the plant.
Meanwhile, as the French company Framatone, which EDF has a 75% stake in, reaches out to the US for help they issued a statement that they are “supporting resolution of a performance issue with the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in Guangdong Province, China. According to the data available, the plant is operating within the safety parameters. Our team is working with relevant experts to assess the situation and propose solutions to address any potential issue.”
But while the Biden administration is touting Chinese statements that “all is well”, Framatone has requested a special waiver allowing it to use American technology to help resolve the evolving “non-crisis”, a transfer of technology that would only be granted if there were an imminent crisis. The request and actions of the company versus the public statements of the company and the Chinese and American governments clearly don’t align with each other and this has people concerned.
The plant in located near Hong Kong and Shenzen on the Chinese coastline. A major radiological leak, evidently caused by a problem with a control rod, would impact over 100 million people and could possibly be a hazard well beyond China. Unit 2, which is the unit impacted, went offline this year for a refurbishment and was put back in operation on June 20, 2021. There is not explanation on what caused the refurbishment or if it was potentially the root of the problem.
The first unit, Taishan 1, entered commercial service in December 2018. The second unit, Taishan 2, entered commercial service in September 2019. The plant is the first in the world to use the new Evolutionary Power Reactor.
The EPR is a third generation pressurised water reactor design. It has been designed and developed mainly by Framatome (part of Areva between 2001 and 2017) and Électricité de France (EDF) in France, and Siemens in Germany. In Europe this reactor design was called European Pressurised Reactor, and the internationalised name was Evolutionary Power Reactor, but it is now simply named EPR.
EDF has acknowledged severe difficulties in building the EPR design. In September 2015, EDF stated that the design of a “New Model” EPR was being worked on, which will be easier and cheaper to build.
There is no word on whether the new design is a critical element here, but the fact the plant has only been operating for around 3 years and has had difficulties in a new reactor that is only two years old and has had a recent refurbishment has led to speculation.
The plant itself claimed, “Since it was put into commercial operation, the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant has strictly controlled the operation of the units in accordance with operating license documents and technical procedures. All operating indicators of the two units have met the requirements of nuclear safety regulations and power plant technical specifications.”
The Chinese government is widely known for suppressing negative news and shifting any blame. As a totalitarian regime which relies on force and fear more than voluntary loyalty and consent of the governed, the Chinese regime cannot afford PR nightmares.
This crisis is not close to the Chernobyl incident, but it is being watched by many as it is feared the present American administration is too unwilling to confront China, despite its rhetoric, on such sensitive issues. This lack of external pressure and willingness to demand answers may in fact lead to face-saving efforts by the Chinese which get in the way of safety measures that might resolve the situation.
Bill Collier- American history is a story of uneven and unequal advancements toward a totally free, prosperous, and pluralistic society of equals, but advancements often far ahead of any contemporary country, even to this day. America’s racial history is governed by two factions, those we may call egalitarian republicans or pluralists and those who we may broadly call racialists who basically believe race defines most or all of who you ever can be and that, at best, races are separate but, at worse, inequal. Racialist versus pluralist worldviews have largely governed America’s mixed history on race.
The present “crisis” over race has the racialists masquerading as egalitarians and attacking anyone, whether racialists or pluralists, of the original sin of those who were racists and whose skin happened to be white. The attempt to impugn and shame every white person with the sins of other white people, or by accusing them of the injustice of white privilege, is itself a racialist sentiment that undermines and directly attacks pluralism.
The irony here is that the racialists who make “whiteness” their new “original sin” are using an extra-Biblical but “traditional” doctrine created by white people to essentially guilt themselves as born sinners because of Adam. The idea of collective guilt in relation to original sin has been challenged and overthrown in many Christian circles.
The concept that prevails today is that we inherit a corrupted nature, but not any guilt, from Adam. Whereas in the past the possibility of being redeemed from your collective guilt was deemed slim and uncertain, today we understand that through Christ we can both find forgiveness from our actual individual sin, which is the only sin we bear, and transfiguration of our inner man to heal us of our sin nature.
But this idea of collective guilt is an essentially European invention now being perpetrated and applied by people whose own racist ideology is aimed at demonizing people of European ancestry. The only way to even hope for any grace is to behave in a way that shows your shame for your collective guilt and that acknowledges your inherent and unredeemable racism which can only be held at bay through total loyalty to the Democratic Party.
This is classic medieval Catholicism: all people are born sinners, they remain so, and only through absolute obedience to the Church hierarchy and its ordained secular institutions, including king or emperor, can your sinful nature be suppressed in the hopes that, maybe, you will eventually gain enough grace to make it to purgatory or even heaven itself.
For the wokatariate, white people are all born racists who bear the collective guilt of their race which, according to the narrative, are the worse oppressors, colonizers, imperialists, slavers, and racists in human history. Indeed, without the white race and its ideas, the world would probably be a veritable paradise run as a socialist global collective.
Never mind that the true target of this propaganda is the worldview we consider essential to the Western Tradition or America’s heritage of ever-increasing freedom for more and more people in more and more areas of their lives. The heart of this war which SEEMS to be a racist war against white people is a war on the arc of America’s history toward more freedom for every single human being without exception.
Like the priests, prelates, nobles, and kings and emperors of the medieval period, today’s ruling class are of the same group who are being guilted and shamed. The wokatariate are in fact mostly manned by white people and almost exclusively funded by very rich white people. This looks essentially like an almost all-white genocidal conspiracy against….white people!
But the truth is that the wokatariate, the people running and benefiting from this racialist woke assault on freedom, know that their guilting and shaming is all based on bad doctrines and bad intentions. To be clear, white genocide isn’t a serious aim of anyone in power and to believe that is to fall for the distraction.
The wokatariate are not “ironically” absolving themselves of the “original sin of inherited white supremacy.” They are “proving” their commitment to suppressing their latent racism through pushing through a neocommunist agenda, by force if need be because, after all, all the people who oppose this are either un-reconstructed white supremacists or their “captive” minority collaborators.
Again, as with the ruling class who used original sin to keep the population down, today’s erstwhile ruling class want to use the original sin of racism to suppress 70% of the population who are white and to buy off and capture the “victims” whose only hope for liberation is through the necommunism of the wokatariate.
It may be lost on some that the wokatariate isn’t organically representative of any person of color or those communities. A movement among black Americans to rectify their past grievances and claim equal standing within the America population as equals in every way has not taken root. Efforts to hijack issues and grievances by the left or to essentially dismiss those grievances and simply be the only alternative to the left by the right do not constitute an organic African-American Freedom Movement.
In the heyday of the Roman Catholic hierarchy’s monopoly over Western Christian culture and religion, only Saints were deemed to be above the original sin, fully redeemed from its influence. But the added twist of our era is twofold: some groups of people are deemed innocent of this guilt because they or their ancestors were oppressed by “white males”, and others, the wokatariate ruling class, are deemed living saints who are above reproach by virtue of their, well, virtue signaling!
Woke racialism is a vehicle to power, none of its claims or ideas are significant beyond guilting people or making them feel like helpless victims. Few among the wokatariate BELEIVE their own claims.
The choice of attacking whiteness is based on two key factors: the freedom-building ideas which are essential to America’s overall arc of history were mostly produced by white men and, to a lesser degree white women, and the simple expediant fact white males at this time tend to strongly opposed authoritarianism and tyranny. If “whiteness” is now sin itself than clearly all white ideas, including the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and the Constitution, are all “polluted” by their “whiteness.”
Cue the social justice totalitarianism and cancel culture to silence any conversation that challenges these notions of comand and control economics that benefits only the few.
This isn’t to say white people, or white males, are more disposed toward freedom-building ideas than others are. It is simply, and accidentally, the current reality. For instance, this idea of being “allies” of “people of color” ends when the “people of color” happen to be Cubans who are even more predisposed toward freedom-building ideas than white males or Haitians who are more predisposed toward capitalism and freedom.
Democrats have made it clear, freedom seeking people from Haiti and Cuba, who tend more toward opposing the anti-freedom ideas of the wokatariate, need not apply. But people from other countries who both embrace socialism and are coming with expectations of aid, are welcome.
The slavers who polluted America’s history believed all Africans were incapable of being fully human and civilized. The very Party, the Democratic Party, that once championed this even worse version of original sin, which made Africans especially and irredeemably execrable, is still clinging to the same ideas.
The change is in who is the target, but the goal of absolute monopoly power remains the same. One may find the whole history of the Democratic Party is one of using some version of racialism and original sin to create victims and sinners whose only hope, but no guarantee, of redemption is absolute obedience to the ruling class.
But the ideas that systemic racism remains affixed to at least some of our structures and laws or that vast portions of our population may harber inherited ideas and prejudices that hinder our advancement toward a free and pluralistic society of equals cannot be dismissed. We being classical “republicans” and pluralists, we cannot whitewash the inherited corruption which comes because very strong groups harboring racialist ideas created laws and fostered prejudices that are not entirely rooted out of our society.
Many racists ideas permeate the way Democrats run inner cities, using welfare to disrupt black families, gun control to keep them all disarmed and pliant, softness on gangs to keep them in crises, socialism to keep them in a state of dependency, abortion to control their population, and a host of petty and contractory laws and codes to make it easy to jail them and use them as slave labor.
Yes, black people tend to vote for Democrats. It is a sick humor of history that a Party which has institutionally never disavowed its inherent racialist nature and that continues to use the false doctrine of collective guilt for original sin has captured the very people its ideas once literally enslaved. The black community is being sold the heady elixir of victimhood and entitlement to reparations and the easy excuse of racism as the only reason for any of their failures or problems. This elixir is a poison, the white rulers of the wokatariate are quite content to see the ghettos remain poor, unsafe, and left behind in perpetuity.
As an important aside, we must state that the grievances of the black community in relation to their own country are legion and deserve to be genuinely addressed. The truth is that Democratic Party handouts, even though they come with poison pills aimed at the black family, are a far cry from the “pull yourself up by your own bootstraps there is no racism holding you back” narrative of the right.
The perverted evolution of the original sin doctrine, of racialism, and slaving of the many to serve the few, have emerged as woke communism, perpetuated by a close collaboration between Democratic loyalists in the corporate world, in academia, in the press and entertainment industry, and in government. Their neocommmunism combines woke original sin with a corporate-political power alliance controlled by a party that is itself controlled by a small body of the wokatariate ruling class, almost ALL filthy rich white males!
But the vital issue here remains that there are in fact ideas, laws, and structures that are based in historic racism. It also remains that certain assumptions and prejudices, while not proving racism or any collective guilt, are the seed-kernels of racialist sentiment. Many Americans of every so-called race have been inculcated with racialist and intolerant prejudices, from black people thinking all white people are morally inferior, to white people habitually seeing black people as an “other”, for no reason but their race.
It is true the white prejudice tends to impact black people far more negatively than the anti-white prejudices being imparted into the black community by the wokatariate. But morally, the sentiment that people ought to be judged based on assummed inferior inherent traits, whether they include racism or backwardness, is the same. Whether a black person or white person or any group of people assumes the characterological inferiority of others, the sentiment is best described as prejudice and intolerance.
But, as a point of fact, the victim privilege or racism of the black man is of far less a threat than white prejudice against blacks and is nothing compared to the wokatariate’s new take on original sin. Indeed, the myth of so-called white supremacy or even the very real legacy of bias among a plurality to majority of white people isn’t anything like the threat to the whole country posed by the wokatariate.
But if America’s history on race is uneven but advancing freedom for more and more people at greater levels, and if we rightfully desire to rectify wrongs and finish the work until no American is left behind, the wokatariate want to reverse the arc of our history and bend it back toward original sin, shaming and guilting, and thereby authoritarianism.
We stand at a threshold of a future dominated by the Party that is the very inheritor of the old Democratic Party’s institutional bent toward authoritarianism versus something else. This “something else” isn’t the GOP, whose modern form of denying race as an issue betrays their abolitionist roots, and whose ability to stand against the Democrats is pathetic.
The “something else” needs to be a freedom-building movement of the People that brings all people of all “races” together, addresses the historical and present-day grievances and problems of every community, and does so on the solid and unalterable foundation of the original spirit and intent of the US Bill of Rights!
Regency is a word that basically has two meanings in our vernacular: it speaks to our individual spiritual sovereignty as Yeshua’s joint-heirs and ambassadors on this earth and it also describes a regional network of such regents which provides support for its peers and serves the populace at large within its service area.
Regency as a concept is all about us as individuals embracing our role and spiritual sovereignty as ambassadors of Christ, as joint-heirs, and as kings and priests unto the Lord. Regency as a structure describes a regional chapter organization of the Upadarian Society and a regional network of people who subscribe to the Upadaria platform. Both aspects of regency as we use the term are inter-related and speak to a deeper truth about freedom, which is that we not only own this spiritual sovereignty as individuals but, through freewill participation, we own the authority to choose the spiritual, sociocultural, and sociocultural substance and norms which will govern our lives, relationships, and associations.
We gain this insight into regency as a both a specific aspect of our Kingdom-centered, Christian freedom-building platform and as broader freedom-building concept from the 17 Protocols of Upadaria, namely Protocol Five.
WE EXERCISE OUR INDIVIDUAL AND CORPORATE REGENCY TO PROVIDE A REFUGE TO OURSELVES AND OTHERS
As Believers, by practicing individual and corporate Regency through the framework of our spiritual nation, we serve as Kings and Priests who sovereignly steward all God has entrusted through a network of trust communities called Shires.
– From The 17 Protocols of Upadaria, Protocol Five
A key aspect of regency is the idea of refuge, which shows up in the Upadarian lifestyle and governance philosophy as “The Refuge Mandate”, but here we are looking at the regional development of the idea actualized within a supporting structure. Regency supports refuge.
When we exercise our spiritual sovereignty, individual regency, we experience an inner refuge from all external influence and control that connects us supernaturally to God and preserves our inner man from everything outside of Yeshua. When we develop this idea into a regional combination of such “regents” who are intentionally exercising their regency, we start to realize concrete, physical spaces wherein the follower of Yeshua and Peers of our spiritual nation can all find real refuge.
A Regency in our parlance is a specific term that applies to a regional virtual-to-local network within our platform and a regional chapter organization for our planned Society. In both cases, the organizational structure is a reflection of our substantive efforts to empower individuals to practice and experience regency within a broad support system that includes physical spaces, like common facilities and even clustered housing developments.
In many ways we can describe a Regency as a sort of ideal “province within the provinces”, like a larger regional subdivision of a country that is distributed throughout another region but that has a distinct and separate identity as well as spiritual, sociocultural, and socioeconomic life. This isn’t separation. It is both automous in a spiritual and sociocultural sense especially and yet totally connected to and supportive of the larger regional grouping of communities within its service area.
Regency at an individual level is easier to grasp. It’s basically you actualizing the fact you are a regent of the King. Your roles as a regent of the King include being nurtured and transformed into a joint-heir with Yeshua who is the Christ and Son of God, being a spiritually sovereign being made in the image of God, and actively pursuing your own and shared scroll of destiny and purpose (wyrd) which comes from God.
Often Christian writers will focus on calling and destiny. We go deeper and broader in two ways: we consider destiny and purpose as a whole-life mission and experience and we consider also shared destiny and purpose which you enter into solely on the basis of freewill participation as you believe God leads you.
But regency as a structure manifesting individual regency at scale is a regional network like a sort of smaller contiguous province distributed within a larger region and acting as both a socioculturally autonomous network of communities and individuals and yet also as a vibrant and connected part of the whole region. Regency as a structure creates a much larger network of regents that can substantively support the individual in ways nothing of a smaller scale can.
One root of this concept comes when we consider the whole book of Galatians. Historians and scholars debate the exact location or boundaries of this Galatia but almost all agree that it was a decent-sized regional identity, connected possibly to the ancient “Kingdom of Galatia”, but an area whose exact boundaries likely crossed over prinvoncial borders. The concept of an “Ecclesia” as a spiritual city-state of the elect spanning such a region, wherein each of the cities and areas in the region also had their own Ecclesia, informs our concept of a Regency.
The “Galatian Christians” and their regional network of spiritual city-states composed a sort of spiritual province whose King is Yeshua that was distributed throughout the Galatian region, a region that probably spanned prvoncial borders within the Roman Empire. So for us, a Regency is a distributed spiritual province consisting of everyone who is a peer of our spiritual nation and everyone who is a subscriber to our virtual platform but that serves all fellow Christians and the whole population within its service area.
As we work our way down from the regional to the individual level, we find that a Regency is made up of many different entities and structures, from Shires down to Shireholds and Kinship Groups. A Regency provides a regional networking and governance structure so that many individuals and different organizations and communities of people can cooperate and collaborate for shared purposes and mutual profit without a centralized, top-down over-controlling hierarchy.
The purpose of a Regency includes being an effective witness and influence for Yeshua to everyone in the regional service area, providing governance support and standards oversight to Upadarian peers, organizations, structures, and communities within the region, creating sociocultural and socioeconomic structures that engender total material and economic freedom for all participants, ministry and benevolence to the poor and needy, and physical refuge for local Christians in crisis and external Christian asylees, basically all refugees, who are in need.
Freedom-builders of various religious or philosophical backgrounds and convictions can use the same basic model so that a single region may have multiple virtual/distributed Regencies which could all cooperate on the basis of freedom fundamentals, like the US Bill of Rights in their original spirit and intent.
A Upadarian Regency is like a smaller province, somewhat autonomous of its larger Commonwealth (as an empire of freedom predicated on virtue, liberty, and independence with justice and equality for all), distributed throughout smaller charter communities and chapter groups within the whole region it serves.
The basic governance structure of a Regency includes a plurality of leadership, the regional operation of the nine governments, and the participation of its peers as well as a feedback system for its subscribers. The titular head and public face of a Regency is its Regent, who heads the regional Regium government but the Lord Protector of the Magisterium and the Proconsul of the Ethnium are also co-leaders while all are subjected both to the Crown Republic (a territorial chapter equivalent to a small country) and to a special Regency Council of 120 Electors chosen by lot.
Unlike the international virtual commonwealth, the 9 governments are concentrated in three: the Regium is still just the Regium, the Magistrate includes the Governate, the Agorate, and the Civitas, and the Ethnium includes the Societas, the Ecclesium, and the Comunis.
The Regium includes the Regency Tribunate of a High Tribune and 120 Tribunes who manage and oversee judicial issues and conflict between various entities within the Regency, a Regency Council of 120 Censors headed by the Regent, and the other two heads of government, including the Lord Protector and the Prconsul.
The Magisterium includes a Regency Senate made up of two Senators appointed by the Vicegerents of a Shire (or equivalent) and a Magisterial Council consisting of a Chancellor who assists the Lord Protector, and Minsters who heads such Regency Minsitries as Administration, the Governate, the Agorate, and the Civitas. These in turn have specific Departments but all Department Heads and Ministers are considered equal within the Magisterial Council.
The Ethnium includes a Regency Assembly consisting of 200 Delegates chosen by 200 roughly equal-sized Caucuses of everyone within the Regency’s service area who is an Elector or higher. The Ethnium also includes a Ministerium which includes the Administrative, Societas, Ecclesium, and Comunis Ministers and their Department Heads.
To support a Regency various facilities are envisioned, including Embassies, Missions, and Hub Communities.
Embassies are facilities for area to local gatherings and activities as well as administrative facilities planted by the Regency Government to begin a process of broadcasting our Gideon’s Call to find people who are called to be Peers and to service and promote subscriptions to the virtual platform.
Missions are facilities that may provide benevolence or ministry to the poor and needy and Christians in crisis as well as help for people with life-controlling problems or addictions.
Hub Communities are area-wide intentional communities that include clustered housing for Peers and Subscribers, space for refugees, clustered housing for any group that wants to use the mutual benefit housing model, and both residential and commercial space for public leasing based on fair housing laws. They also include larger scale facilities like health and wellness centers, recreation facilities, art and science resources, training, and administrative facilities.
Each Regency will have a central hub community, known as a Regency Hub that is a larger almost town-sized grouping of multiple little communities surrounding an area called a Citadel which in turn surrounds a Regency Castle.
These are all specific types of Upo Communities, which may also exist within a Regency as individuals create their own intentional communities using the Upo Model. This includes things like residents as customers/subscribers, promoting a free and pluralistic society of equals, mutual benefit corporations to facilitate clustered housing, a plurality of leadership, mutual self-reliance and self-preservation, and the use of our ideals, principles, practices, and mandates as their guiding standards.
The difference between a Upo Hub Community and a Upo Community is that the Hub Community is an official hub for a Upadarian platform and/or society chapter group, community, or organization, while a Upo Community is chartered by the Regency but is an autonomous development adminstered by Peers of Upadaria who form a corporate body of some kind.
While most Peers and Subscribers within a Regency will tend to live as they do now, some will desire to live within some sort of Upo Hub Community, Upo Community, or smaller clustered housing development. What is more, every Peers and Subscriber who is an eCitizen of the platform will have a guarantee of help and shelter within any of these clustered housing developments, Upo Communities, or Upo Hub Communities.
A Regency is planned in a cooperative way from the genesis plan and build team to autonomous area and local design and build teams down to the Shirehold and Kinship Group. The genesis team are the first certified Regency Builders who work together within their service area toward the goal of developing a strong Subscriber base and thereby finding and mobilizing Peers of the spiritual nation.
All this shows how the core concept of being a regent for Yeshua is expanded and applied to a regional network whereby many thousands of individuals can connect and collaborate to exercise their regency as a distributed regional body of Peers who have the same spiritual nationhood and who all serve the same King, who is Yeshua. A Regency will likely begin as a virtual-to-local community within our international platform and as qualified Electors and Nobles emerge these will eventually form the genesis planning and building team who adapt our blueprint to their regional needs and circumstances until they have created a functioning Regency.
This is like the “planting” model of the New Testament whereby Apostles tended to gather Believers after a period of evangelism and then find qualified people to become area-wide leaders who in turn appointed local leaders, all of whom took territorial responsibility to build the church and reach the lost. It may seem like a top-down model, but, while the core planning and design team leaders are essential recruited and assigned by the higher level leaders, it quickly emerges that all these local groups act autonomously and the “appointed” leaders become accountable to the people they directly serve.
From an organizational perspective, a Regency is the first major self-contained structure that truly acts like a provincial entity, even though it doesn’t have any political autonomy from the existing political state wherein it is located. It is, after all, a chapter ORGANIZATION within a virtual platform and an international Christian society, not an actual political subdivision of its host country.
Upo Regencies include special types such as Principalities as the designation of urban regencies, Shire Republics as regencies that are the home chapter organization for a Crown Republic (our territorial chapter organization), Crown Regencies as the home regional chapter organization of Commonwealths, Dominions, or Branch Societies, and Crown Principalities as physical regencies of notable importance wherein the land is actually owned by the Society in some form of special economic or autonomous zone arrangement.
A word on Crown Principalities is that they are quite far off in the future. We envision a world HQ for the entire international society and the virtual platform called “The Crown Principality of Upadaria” which might be likened unto Vatican City if our international society gained standing under international law. Mostly they would be special zones with a charter from a host country that allowed for sociocultural and socioeconomic autonomy.
The 17 Missionary Tribes, for instance, may operate a Royal Crown Principality as their HQ and may seek to develop one for each of the 20 Dominions around the world they serve, which are basically areas where they provide missions and refugee support and serve any Upo nationals. Other Regal Support Hubs would be established by the Society and its 9 “governments” for specific purposes and/or to serve different population groups in advancing our global vision to reach the nations and serve Christians in crisis.
It should be clear that while most subscribers to our platform and peers of our spiritual nation will not live within any sort of clustered housing development or Upo Community, we intend to build physical spaces and hubs wherein any peers, subscribers, or fellow Christians can seek help or sanctuary, missionary work can be supported, and provisions and ministries to the poor and needy can be conducted.
Unlike every other platform, the Upadarian platform is designed to eventually result in physical facilities, spaces, clustered living developments, hubs, and whole communities the size of cities or even whole regions, all created and administered according to our ideals, principles, practices, and mandates. Our Virtual Commonwealth is meant to eventually have a status like unto the Vatican with multiple versions of facilities/communities that are like Vatican City, even though most subscribers to the platform and most Peers of the city do not live in these places.
How far and how much these aspirations are actualized we shall see, but our abilities to plant Regencies and build some level of clustered housing, hubs, and communities will only grow in time as our subscriber base and Society membership grow in a given region.
Regency as both a concept of individual spiritual sovereignty and as a concept of regional community building for mutual profit and to support mutual goals is the practical way to actualize true freedom that flows from material and economic independency. As always, even if you do not adopt our exact model and become certified to begin building your own Regency you can use these general ideas to establish some sort of regionally distributed network of communities that reflect your own ideals and the such.
The Upadaria platform is many things and it is at its heart a vision come true, a vision initially seen by first founder Willem IV (myself) in 1982. We can say that what we are building in terms of our platform and other genesis structures is designed as our best understanding of a God-ordained vision for a spiritual nation as the vanguard people of a new civilization. So to that degree, aligning these things with a vision that was tested against the Bible, logic, history, and science for 40 years, is actually our chief aim. We know that if we build according to God’s blueprint, good things will happen for everyone involved.
But the Upadaria Platform, called “The Virtual Commonwealth of Upadaria”, is a place that does three key things for its subscribers who purchase eResident and eCitizen subscription packages:
1. It provides useful and edifying content that subscribers can use in their daily life to build freedom and prosperity
2. It provides systemic and immersive learning experiences, through active participation and even role-playing, so that the individual subscriber can become more fulfilled and empowered
3. It provides virtual-to-local gathering and connections opportunities via social networking and e-commerce features that result in building your own network of fellow travelers whose beliefs, values, and convictions harmonize with your own
This latter aspect of the community is important. Through Upadaria you will experience life first in your own mind and imagination, we use the context and nomenclature of a future history written in 2147 to immerse yourself mind into a different, ideal reality. This is necessary to help you see past, through, and over all the artificial constraints and hindrances of the present sociocultural and socioeconomic situation.
Upadaria as a platform is, among other things, a virtual gathering place for people who want to adopt a spiritual nationality they can positively say is under the rulership of Yeshua, the Christ and Son of God. Being connected to such a nation of people, even though they own no land and have no political or military power, is a sure path to walking in those blessings and provisions reserve for such nations whose God is the Lord.
The immersive learning experiences and role-playing and the creation of this ideal persona within an ideal situation are not the goal. They get you to a different kind of goal that really amounts to establishing kinship type commuties of trust through freewill participation alone. More significantly, you find a community of people, some as virtual connections and some as local connections, with whom warm, accepting, and trust-based fraternal bonds can be made. In short, you experience warmth and acceptance.
From this, while not every subscriber will opt in, a nation of people emerges from within many lands and kindreds and among all the so-called “races.” Gathering hundreds of thousands of people, of whom some to many will choose become the genesis founders and builders of a new nation that is distributed all over the world, is not the only purpose of Upadaria. But it is a key purpose and we certainly want to be totally up front and transparent about that.
Over and over again we will say: we provide options, we don’t impose demands. We offer you things like our immersive learning experiences which are tailored to meeting real needs and improving your quality of life.
Even if at first you feel put off by the “role-playing”, it’s not just fun, it has a serious and transfigurative experience. It’s also a safe and easy way to build new and positive connections on the basis of recognizing and nurturing the person you ideally wish to become. We are certain that you will find this experience to be extremely welcoming and hopeful.
Upadaria will exist outside the realm of the establishment technocracy and its ecosystem but it is not just another alt tech platform free-for-all where anything goes. It is an experience like nothing else out there right now.
Coming in to Upadaria you are a refugee fleeing from some form of oppression or persecution during the timeline of events that led to the rise of a new national people and the emergence of a new civilization even as many of the older civilizations underwent downfall and/or upheaval. This “narrative history” informs our immersive learning experience, shapes the way our platform is run as well as its features and organization/governance, and even guides, albeit not literally, our actual real-world aims.
To see and experience, even if initially in imagination, what it is like to be part of a nation whose God is the Lord, to experience life within a Christ-centered and Kingdom-focused civilization, and to experientially learn how to manifest this inner, imagined reality into your life and relationships, is a truly innovative, original, and powerful thing.
You will learn these things in Upadaria and experience them, but you will also build real relationships and have real social and economic interactions with your fellow Upos, people who are eCitizens of the Virtual Commonwealth of Upadaria. Options such a earning digital credits, using currencies, and even our own cryptocurrency will give you new ways to advance your prosperity through participation in our internal economy.
Our platform is also designed to be as outward facing as it is private. In other words, if you want your content, like your blog or business listing, to be seen by the public and broadcast to the public, you can do that. But by default all groups and forums and your own content are limited to either your followers or the internal community. Your personal identity, which we can confirm so that people know you are real, is private. Your persona, your Upo self, has their own name which you will choose as and when you become a confirmed eCitizen.
There are basically three types of subscriptions; Guests who have a free visa and limited access, eResidents who pay $15/month for more expanded access and some features, and eCitizens who pay $45/month but for a whole experience and way to either promote themselves or use networking to advance their career, business, or ministry.
Different types of eCitizen are all the same price but are granted based on things you do to advance your status and standing and/or different charters or pledges based on your beliefs and convictions. The basic types include simple eCitizens whose only status is eCitizen, Freeholders who adopt the Freedomist Pledge, Ecclesians who are confirmed followers of Yeshua.(Christians of all denominations), Peers who are eCitizens that adopt the 17 Protocols of Upadaria, Electors who are Peers who formally joined the Upadarian Commonwealth Society International, and Nobles who are Electors who are advancing along “The Path of Honor.”
Lots of other ways to earn status and standing and be recognized for your achievements exist and, as the community grows, more benefits and features for all types of subscribers will be unlocked. Our purpose here it to foster personal growth, advancement, and development and to give many organic opportunities for people to build meaningful connections.
Immerse yourself into a new reality that transcends the present and unleashes who you truly are in all your God-ordained possibilities!
“Buying into” and virtually living out our narrative timeline is not mandatory, you can just become an e-Citizen and enjoy the features, the content, and social interactions through your profile and followers, your blog and other blogs, through the classified ads, the business directory, and through groups and forums. But if you really want Upadaria to be more than a good platform but something that inspires you and awakens your own inner and God-ordained dreams, then give the whole immersive learning experience thing a good try.
Why is Upadaria a paid platform and not open and free to all?
Essential to our vision is the creation of genesis structures which we believe are essential for comings times of crisis and to fund the first projects, like our world HQ, the first missionary and refugee support hubs, and other projects, mostly through a crowdfunding effort. While subscribing to Upadaria is worth it, it is also being part of a crowdfunding effort.
The second reason this is important is that we definitely do not want a wildly incoherent mass influx of million of free users who will require serious moderation and governance and who could literally just be trolls come to discredit us. The paid subscription model means that even if we see a large influx of people, we will always have the means to provide good moderation and governance and even to give them a personalized support system, like a Guide who may only service around 1200 subscribers (which is not as work intense as it may seem) or a volunteer Assistant Guide who may only serve 100 or fewer subscribers and earn perks within the platform.
Finally, but of equal importance, we don’t ever want to be beholden to corporate advertisers who will make demands on content and moderation that don’t align with our views or the interests of the kind of freedom seekers who tend toward being socially conservative that we expect to gather.
As we grow our support base we will explore ways to bring in people of more limited means and help them to eventually stand on their own and be able to afford a subscription. We will not leave people behind, and we offer plenty of free content on our main website, but initially we need to find people who can afford to subscribe and thereby back our overall vision.
Upadaria is neither a free speech platform nor is it in any way a place to bash other people. We are positively for our way of life, based on the 17 Protocols of Upadaria, but we are not against anyone else. We desire only freewill participation, not control or coercion, either for ourselves or others. Most of our content and activities center on a fictional future history written in 2147 AD. Most of our contemporary focus on politics in general is to promote ways for communities of people like those who embrace our intentional nationality to gain more sociocultural and socioeconomic autonomy within existing or new legal structures.
As to the whole Upadarian nationality, unless you are an Elector, as in a member of our international mutual benefit, missionary, and refugee society, you don’t have to literally consider yourself a Upadarian national in your “meta” life outside of Upadaria. But, on the other hand, anyone CAN choose to adopt this particular nationality by making a pledge between God and themselves alone to aspire to use and fulfill as many of these Protocols as God gives the means to do!
People don’t have to join Upadaria, as in the platform, to become a Upadarian by nationality. Additionally, people can only “adopt” this nationality for their “persona” without feeling like they have to transfer that identity into their meta reality. Moreover, people can be eCitizens of various types without even adopting the Upadarian nationality for their Upo Persona.
Everything we offer is on a “can do” as opposed to “must do”, basis and there are many ways to experience happy social and other interactions and benefits in your own way or through prescribed pathways. It’s always your choice and our hope is to give you good choices.
Upadaria isn’t for everybody. Our vision for web 3.0 is a diversity of niche communities eventually connected to a broad organic and decentralized ecosystem that will allow interconnections and cross-platform communications. Upadaria is our initial niche community, others, including free models based on other funding models, can either be created by us or nurtured and inspired by us which connect to a universal backbone not controlled by the establishment technocracy.
As for Upadaria, generally if you are more socially conservative, if you have a Judeo-Christian worldview, and if you are serious about fulfillment, being your best, and becoming prosperous and successful in an ethical manner consistent with your values, then Upadaria is going to be a good fit!
If you legitimately could be called a racist, a bigot, a totalitarian, a communist, a neonazi, a fascist, or a nationalist in a racial sense, then you will find Upadaria to be too “liberal” and “diverse” for your liking. We don’t bash, judge, or condemn others, we simply propose that “the Upadarian Way” is our sociocultural choice and norm and the basis of our freewill association.
We believe that the Upadaria Platform represents not simply a piece of new technology. It’s features may have an interesting application and feel, you be the judge, but it’s true innovations come through its people, connections, its learning experiences, and its virtual-to-local approach to gathering people for activities and functions.
We want the platform to be professional and highly functional and we will ever explore advancements in its technology, but we also believe that the cheif elements of value are a place where you can be accepted and valued, a place where you can experience warm and caring relationships, a place where you can find your true God-ordained purpose and potential, and a place where you can materially benefit from mutual support and commerce.
Upadaria isn’t anything you have ever experienced and while you can enter slowly and learn gradually, bit by bit in manageable pieces, there are many ideas, methods, and principles you can explore that could take you literally months or years to experience. It’s a whole vast new realm of new ideas and possibilities that you can adapt to your daily life as you choose.
Living nationhood, which is to live the ways of a spiritual form of national idenity, may seem a bit esoteric, but if you mentally try on the idea, we propose you’ll find it is a practical means of improving your quality of life and building freedom for yourself and your family.
Once we grasp the true meaning of nationhood we take a further step forward and understand nationhood not just as an idea and identity but as a way of life and as daily practices. The Bible tells us to be IN this “kosmos”, as in the present world system, but not to be OF it. Our aim as Believers is to be a salt and light witness and influence for Yeshua to the nations. We do this without taking on their sociocultural and socioeconomic norms of the surrounding society.
We must avoid following those norms that contradict the sacred Kingdom essentials which are incumbent upon all followers of Yeshua. For this reason, we must be as materially as independent as possible from external influence and control. Additionally, we cannot replace the unaligned ways, ways not aligned with Kingdom essentials, without consciously replacing them with ways that align with Kingdom essentials.
Nationhood allows us to both find and use these ways to live in material independency but also allows is to organically connect and collaborate with others who adopt the same ways on a purely voluntary basis.
Living Spiritual Nationhood
NATIONHOOD IS A PATH TO FULFILL GOD’S STANDARDS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE THROUGH IDEALS, PRINCIPLES, PRACTICES, AND MANDATES
As the sacred core Kingdom essentials are honored and practiced in our diversity manifestation of Kingdom Nationhood through personal, relational, and professional standards and norms, righteousness will exalt our nation.
– From The 17 Protocols of Upadaria, Protocol Four
Our approach to self-improvement, which is the improvement of yourself but NOT you improving yourself through your own power, is quite original.
Imagine approaching self-improvement, which is the process whereby God transfiguratively improves us, through the concepts and methodologies we find in a Biblical view of nations and nationhood. This could be difficult because nationhood to modern humans has devolved into a crude mixture of political states as agents of coercion or racial/racist notions whereby one’s actual genetic/biological ancestry defines who and what they are.
Nationhood comes from spiritual sovereignty, sociocultural and socioeconomic cohesivenes, mutually beneficial freewill participation, and the intentionality of forming communities of trust.
We propose that when nationhood is understood as a way of life whereby we seek, through the guiding and power of the Holy Spirit, to fulfill God’s standards of righteousness and justice for the nations, which is for all human beings. Remember, nations are ordained by God and a big hint as to their meaning comes from the phrase in Acts 17 “so that men might find God if they haply seek him.”
As we adopt nationhood, in our proposed case through what we call the Upadarian nation, but through any diversity manifestation of Kingdom Nationhood you want to choose, we create or adopt a set of standards and norms that manifest God’s righteous and justice in our inner lives, relationships, and professional conduct.
When we adopt a form of nationhood that is predicated on ideals, principles, practices, and mandates (practicing a shared vision and mission), it provides a ready-made means to guide and discipline our behavior and choices to suit our own wyrd, which is God’s scroll of destiny and purpose for our lives.
Every form of nationhood that is a diversity expression of Kingdom Nationhood should be able to be expressed in its ideals, principles, practices, and mandates through clear language and clear standards and norms that are utilized in a spirit of grace, not legalistically. These things should definitely align with Kingdom essentials, they should be practical, and they should be directed toward your own quality of life and the wyrd of your life.
In a sense, we’ve taken the foundation of what we know about how nations are seen by God and what their purpose in terms of God’s standards for the nations and human civilization and built a logical and practical ideational structure. Nationhood is a path for individuals AND vast groups of individuals, to manifest and fulfill God’s standards of righteousness and justice for the nations on a strictly voluntary, freewill participatory basis.
In describing OUR unique form of nationhood, the Upadarian nation of people as a spiritual nation, we are also introducing the broader concept of nationhood as a lifestyle and a personal growth discipline.
Our form of nationhood has four core ideals, four core principles, four core sets of practices based on the core elements of the Kingdom, and three core mandates which animate and guide our shared purpose and vision. If you understand and memorize these things and make them a daily tool for helping to make better decisions, build better relationships, and create better associations with others, especially if they also use these things, your quality of life, level of freedom, and your effectiveness as a witness and influence for Yeshua will improve over time.
Briefly, here is a description of our ideals, principles, practices, and mandates.
Our four core ideals come from our vision for a new civilization and include Unity in diversity, Popular sovereignty, Democratic equality, and Rule of law. From the UPDR of these ideals we derive the name UPaDaRia.
Our principles includes our social vision (cooperation, sustainability, consensus), social ethics (well-being, justice, autonomy), freedom vision (virtue, liberty, and independence), and Prosperity Vision (investment, land, ownership, protection).
Our practices comes from the core practices associated with four Kingdom elements, namely the practices of Ecclesium as the realm of the spiritual city-state and commonwealth of the Elect, Ethnium as both a universal and diversity manifestation of Kingdom nationhood in Christ, Oikosium as the small to global scale manifestation of a familial connection for mutual profit and mutual assurance, and Koiononium as the freewill participatory association and basis of a voluntary community of trust within God’s standards of righteousness and justice.
Our mandates include Kinship whereby we support and build up one another, Missions whereby we are a witness to others and support missionary efforts not limited by Western church culture, and Refuge whereby we provide refuge for ourselves and we both advocate for and serve Christian asylees and Christians in crisis.
These are Biblically sound, Kingdom-focused methods and means which not only define our unique form of spiritual nationhood as a diversity expression of Kingdom Nationhood, but they provide a ready-made means for groups of people to cooperate and collaborate without needing top-down control.
As the Bible says, righteousness exalts a nation but sin brings it down, to paraphrase. It also says “blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.” We asked ourselves, “what does this mean practically speaking, how can we measure and quantity what it means to be righteous as a nation and how does this translate to the individual in terms of behavior and shared blessings?”
What we find is that the clear proclamation of ideals, principles, practices, and mandates, such as we have done, fulfills these things. It provides an accessible understanding of how we pursue God’s standards of righteousness and justice. It explains how individuals participate, by using these things, and how thereby we all who are peers of this spiritual nation walk in God’s blessings for such a nation of people whose God is the Lord.
One key idea we propose is that as nations of people explicitly define these things about themselves and as these things, which will vary from nation to nation, align with sacred Kingdom essentials, there will be a global “witness to the nations”, on an individual and corporate basis, that will reap a massive harvest of souls. We also foresee as the new civilization emerges, as a result of the deliberate practice of nationhood rooted in Yeshua, that there will be a flourishing of freedom and elevation of the Body of Christ to reach the nations and people of this earth more effectively.
If you want to build freedom beyond just words and political activism, if you want to build it unilaterally without being controlled by the present godless sociocultural and socioeconomic structures, nationhood as a personal discipline and lifestyle is a very practical and powerful tool.
Folks, this story right here is one of many, many such stories that is almost sure to unfold as people in power today find themselves vulnerable to the future competition, who will use whatever evidence they can find to undermine the power our current spate of banana republic dictators across this country possesses.
The Coronavirus lockdowns have created many opportunities for grift, for coercive monopoliziation, for the creation of non-competitive political power for a lot of local ‘leaders’ that have exposed the degraded state of political leadership in our country like nothing else in, arguably, the history of our nation.
In Michigan, it looks like some of these little tyrants with big dreams were caught converting virus bucks to bonus books for government officials. Whoever gets hold of this and wants those positions, or, if appointed, the position of the one that appoints, they’ve just been given the key to the armory, so to speak, with this bit of damning news.
The cost of lying and stealing is that you most never get to stop perpetuating coercive, deceptive action to continue to protect your dirty secrets from becoming known. This reality of power principle, the principle of ‘deception leads to coercion perpetually,’ is what’s at play here, in combination with another reality of power principle, ‘the lies you tell today will be the weapons of your enemies tomorrow.’
Politics is a blood sport, and even within parties, it’s not surprising to see purges and self-decapitations. But when your party is run on a moral supremacist shaming platform, well, that will attract the most vicious, vindictive, and self-serving amongst us, as the DNC most assuredly has (the top ranks among the activists who become politicians, not rank and file card carrying members of the DNC, the people who don’t influence the party, they just follow it).
Your close aids of today might tomorrow turn over the files that shows the grift your office committed during the golden days of the banana republicans, the days of the Covid lockdown. These next few years promise to see a slow trickling out of similar stories until one day when a political power coalesces that can fundamentally challenge the DNC, then, well, both parties, the DNC AND the RNC will most likely have a lot of weapons to be used against them, lies they told in Coronavilles that are no longer able to be hidden.
Elected officials in a Michigan county gave themselves bonuses with federal relief money related to the coronavirus pandemic

CORUNNA, Mich. — Elected officials in a Michigan county gave themselves $65,000 in bonuses with federal relief money related to the coronavirus pandemic.
The money, described as “hazard pay,” included $25,000 for Jeremy Root, chairman of the Shiawassee County…
Bobby Bilylhead just tweeted that the DNC pretty much owns all of MSM, except for Fox News, which is totally not a token opposition network at all, totally.
Ok, so it wasn’t Bobby Billyhead that did it, but somehow I feel that’s what the name should have been, and the tweet should have been from one of these elite DNC kids’ half-botoxed kids sperging on the interwebs at 2 in the morning, but somehow some ‘rightwing rag’ picked up the tweet and ran with it.
Nope. This was from a current member of government, one of the elite DNCers themselves, tweeting in the daylight, under no influence of drugs (presumably), again, in broad daylight, the truth about the real MSM, which is the agit prop weapon of war of the DNC, the party that seems to derive its inspiration and ideas from the CCP, not anything approaching democracy, and definitely not in any remotely liberal republican sense of the values and standards of the nation-state this party alleges to rule.
This person was Nikki Fried, the Florida Agricultuyre Commissioner seeking to become its next governor, who will heretofor be referred to as Bobby Billyhead so long as the breathe in my body. Fact She writes like Chairman Mao, but with less power.
In an act of striking transparency, Florida Agricultural Commissioner and self-proclaimed “qualified candidate for governor” Nikki Fried accidentally admitted that the corporate media is controlled by the Democratic Party.

Ron DeSantis has Fox News, but we have everyone else. Florida will be blue in 2022.
Proscription lists were a big thing in Roman Republican times. The dictator, consul, whoever managed to represent power in Rome, might write out a list of names of people that are earmarked for death or exile (which also meant property confiscation).
This was not the only civilization to have used this method of informing a group of people it was time to die or leave because the person in power hates you now, but it might have been one of the more showy examples of the use of such a political weapon of war.
As of late, however, America is looking to dethrone Rome as the showiest executor of Proscription List politics, where we start with people who SAY immoral things by our definition and we extend those lists out to cover ANYONE who supports ANYONE on the proscription list of choice.
Fortunately, here in America there is no one power that has such absolute control over a land as the dictators (de facto or self-identifying) of Rome had, at least over those seven hills where the other peole of power also lived. But the internet has put all of us right next to each other, and we can kill people these days without actually altering their physical state, at least not directly.
We kill your ability to make a living, to be a member of society. The We being the people who gain the most out of the continued use of proscription lists in our ‘marketplace of ideas.’
Now, this proscription listing is turning on the billionaires themselves, many of whom have been enabling this behavior by negotiating or capitulating to the proscriptioners (I think that’s a great name for them) altogether. They’ve even been funding the special interest groups that also utilize the proscriptioning method of politicking within the confines of an alleged republic.
And now, the proscriptioners are coming for them, and, whatever you feel about these enablers of the very beast that looks to gouge them, this should make you worry about the chances we might have getting this ship back on some semblance of a Federal republic with a Bill of Rights core course, for now the proscriptioners are looking to ultilze corporate power to attack corporate power over who you support politically. It is no longer corporately viable to support any party but the DNC.
This article that calls for the billionaires to be sussed out and destroyed is written in Forbes. Yes, I realize Forbes has laregly degenerated to mostly a blog that represents a vast array of humans of vastly different views, but that name, Forbes, for the casual, still means something significant as far American republicanism is concerned, so to see an article like this appear in a publication with that legacy branding concerns me, for now we are attempting to normalize among the so-called Rule of Law group a countenance of the use of corporate banning and social spamming to silence support for the only major political opposition to one party, the DNC.
It is as if the DNC crowd imagines they really are the vast majority with all the power, and sometimes, friends, we wonder if that just might be true. If you reject this type of politicking, proscriptionism, then don’t support corporate bannings and social shamings, even when it targets your own political enemies.
In January, 147 lawmakers in Congress voted against certifying the 2020 presidential election results. Above, legislators meet to count the Electoral College vote from the 2008 presidential election in January 2009.

At least 41 billionaires gave money over the last four months to legislators who voted against certifying the presidential election, according to a review of Federal Election Commission records filed in July.
It looks like the FTC folks of Biden are set to engage in a war against repair monopolies such as Apple and John Deere that prohibit anyone other than their approved repair agents from conducting the mostly costly repairs.
There has long been a movement out there called “The Right to Repair,” which has been sometimes successfully and sometimes not successfully, get states to pass laws that protect the right to repair your own property, the underlying extension of the assumed right to property this nation state has somewhat assumed to be the limits of its own, and anyone else’s power.
To see a Biden-led FTC pushing for the defense of the individual against the powerful is more than surprising to me, but, nonethless, I am extremely relieved to see some concept of individual liberty is useful for the Biden group to hold on to.
Never look a gift horse in the mouth is how the saying goes, but I say never look a gift horse in the mouth until you’ve receieved the gift, then look at that mouth all up and down to figure out what kind of gift you actually got.
To that end, we’ll be analyzing the potential interest that such a move serves the DNC and their front face, Team Biden. Still, we’ll take the gift, but we’re still checking out that mouth.
While unlawful repair restrictions have generally not been an enforcement priority for the
Commission for a number of years,4 the Commission has determined that it will devote more
enforcement resources to combat these practices.5 Accordingly, the Commission will now
prioritize investigations into unlawful repair restrictions under relevant statutes such as the
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act6 and Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act.
