The Freedomist adheres to a lifestyle and governance discipline called UPDRism, pronounced you-pah-dare-ee-an-ism and spelled “Upadarianism.” It is based on the four core ideals for a free society, Unity in diversity, Popular sovereignty, Democratic equality, and Rule of law.
Our mission is to provide news and empowerment content that enables individuals to acheive a state of freedom, the dominion of the free, through practicing virtue, liberty, and independence.
Our vision is to establish autonomous, citizen-owned local to regional Freedomist publications run by practitioners of our UPDR lifestyle and governance discipline all over the world. Practitioners of our lifestyle and governance discipline will be empowered as individuals and through mutuality with others to find and fulfill God’s best for their lives with excellence. Such fully empowered and connected people will have a transfigurative impact on the world around them and in this manner we will contribute to making the world more free.
Currently, the Freedomist is run by founder and publisher Bill Collier. With a background that includes military intelligence, political consulting, marketing, and ministry, Bill Collier is uniquely qualified to run such a venture.
Premium subscriptions will be set at $5/month for the first 2500 subscribers, thereafter rising to $15/month. For initial subscribers, the cost will remain fixed for as long as they remain active subscribers.
Daily content will move as needed and will include a mixture of news intelligence and analysis, empowerment content, alerts on human rights issues, military technology, news regarding the Christian world, and more. The tone will be intelligent, informative, and objective.
Subscriptions will be used to crowdfund the development of a web platform that will further equip and empower practitioners of the UPDR governance and lifestyle discipline through connections, cooperation, and collaboration. This web 3.0 platform is being called a “cryptonation” because it will be based on the same cryptographic technology as cryptocurrency (the blockchain) and it will be modelled on a form of nationhood or intentional national identity not limited by ancestry, race, or political borders.
Those among the first 2500 subscribers who agree to abide by the broad “Pledge of Common Unity” will be offered a free eResidence membership in the “virtual Commonwealth” which will normally retail at $45/month.
Bill Collier- Crane Brinton in his 1938 book, THE ANATOMY OF REVOLUTION, attempted to lay out the signs and roadmarkers to revolution. While his work has been criticised, it was a useful starting point in discussing the portents of upheaval. It introduced to a broader audience the concept of discerning the signs of change, and in particular violent change or some form of radical alteration of power.
At the root of his and other similar works are the ideas that an existing power structure that has lost public trust and is itself on the verge of bankruptcy is the main catalyst for upheaval. Beyond that there must be a well led movement calling for change and, in the case of civil war, opposing sides along religious, ethnic, or ideological lines whose views are incompatible and who view one another as evil and beyond redemption.
In any society you are bound to have all these factors to some degree at some time. It is the intensity and duration of these factors, coupled with the emergence of strong proponents of and resistors to, upheaval that spells out the increasing likelihood of revolution or rupture within a society.
The laws of causality in human history are not amenable. Keep stirring the “right” ingredients of disenfranchising parts of the populace, a power structure that is both out of touch with all or a substantial portion of society and both morally and financially on the road to bankruptcy, and an intractable divison between the power holders and a substantial portion of the populace, and you get revolution or rupture. Over time, despite many fits and starts which end in failure, you see the emergence of effective champions of the groups of people who feel disenfranchised.
When the disenfranchised include the most productive members of society, the danger of upheaval increases.
If then we consider these factors, we see the ruling elite, the left, and the right in a stand-off. While it may seem the ruling elite are using the left to batter the right, the real left, represented by groups like antifa or rank and file Democrats, would like to make a nice breakfast of the elites who currently pander to them. The right, characterized mostly by strong adherents to the US Bill of Rights but demonized by both the elites and the left as nazis, lacked a strong leader until Trump. Whether he becomes more than a 1 or 2 term president to truly mature into a transcendent force with a well-organized following, remains to be seen. Beyond winning elections, neither he nor his cohorts have even made a good effort to create a well-organized movement.
The left have a movement and leaders, and a strong identity as Democrats that is deeper and more coherent in a cultural sense than the right. Democrats root for their team like football fans do for theirs. Conservatives often recoil at the notion of being Republicans and have a lack of cohesion: they don’t have a single “team” they root for, even when it has a bad coach or its players aren’t up to snuff. As an Eagles fan all my life, I totally get what rooting for a team means, and liberals root for their team far more than conservatives do.
You root for your team always, right or wrong, and keep hoping it gets better.
The left also fund their players better. They invest in their rank and file. While the right wins elections, the left burrow into national instutions and carry on their work, regardless of election outcomes. They know the chidlren belong to academia’s indoctrination, which they control and which Hollywood and the Press all reinforce with slavish devotion.
Wealthy conservatives tend to be parsimonious, egotistical, and, frankly, cheap. If or when they patronage any person or group, they pinch every penny and excert so much tight control that nothing of significance can happen. The left’s donors lavish many groups, let them do their thing, and hire real experts at high wages to keep the balls moving down the court every day.
Perhaps some conservative cause or movement will invent or break through to a crowdfunding model that negates the need for rich patrons, but, so far, that has not happened. Mostly because conservatives as individuals also tend to be parsimonious and want their activists and activism on the cheap. If or when that changes, then conservatives might have a chance.
As it stands, despite election victories, conservatism in the US is doomed. The real battle may be between the left and the elites, after we conservatives are shunted aside and after immigration reform reshapes the electoral map in states like Texas, which is the last major bastion of conservetive power in America. Conservatives have been cheap and stingy, not supporting their activists or activism, not realizing the need and power of paid mobs as it were, and all social proof of emerging victory belongs to the left.
As a conservative activist trying to earn a living, I cannot tell you how often a fellow conservative has attacked me for daring to try to find a way to crowdfund my effort: if I really cared for the cause, I’d work for free. As if we don’t need or want professional activists who wake up every day focused on the cause and not whether or not they csn pay their bills.
Don’t get me wrong, I get paid doing political work, but it’s not activism.
The question is this: are we facing a revolution or upheaval? We are facing the potential for a leftist revolution or an internal upheaval, either of which will lead to the final destruction of conservatism as a political force in these United States. Conservatives are stingy with resources to support a professional cadre of counter-revolutionaries whose activism and leaderhsip could match and defeat the left and the elites. When a populace which espouses an idea or belief system refuses to finance it, then we know that movement is headed for demise.
In truth, not even conservatives truly believe in their movement. So the potential upheaval we face in America will mean the triumph of either the elites or the left, who will likely fight it out after routing the conservative movement.
A lone gunman shot and killed at least 17 people, injuring 14 others, at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. According to press reports, the gunman, a stone-cold killer with no moral conscience, was well-known to students and staff at the school for his violence and his mental instability.
While we all must pause to pray for the victims and their family as well as their friends who must go through this dark time, the time to act is now. We must address the issue of mental health, we must address the ongoing problem of gun-free zones that make people unsafe, and we must address a culture of violence.
While there is no doubt the left will once again demand a curtailment of the rights of honest Americans, the real problem here is with a system that cannot identify clearly abnormal, mentally unstable, and violent people and compel them in any way to submit to an evaluation. We will all be asking how and why this young man obtained a firearm considering his well-known mental state.
We need to stop the practice of disarming the innocent, we need to stop ignoring our ongoing mental health crisis, and we need to address a culture in which violence of this nature is glorified. It is not enough to pray for the dead or injured, and it is never right to deny innocent people their rights or to strip them of their means of self-defense, all because our politicians refuse to deal with the real problem.

By Bill Collier- A reader sent us pictures they took of Pershing Square on October 12, almost a month before the purported Antifa/Leftwing “Resist Fascism” demonstration planned on Saturday. The reader was concerned because the sign on the hate group’s tent made it clear: they want to kill white people.
While a story ran recently in which a post alleging to be Antifa and calling for the killing of white people and Trump supporters, which proved to be a hoax meant to troll the alt-right. this is not a mere social media post. This tent was set up in Pershing Square in our nation’s capital. It stretches credulity to the breaking point to imagine this is mere “trolling” or that this is staged by some right-wing group to smear the left.
You wull observe in this picture the sign that forbids setting up camp in the park, as these leftist activists have done. There is no crowd therefore dispersal and removal of this group by the DC police would not be problematic. No doubt the DC police knew such activities were planned, as these groups have broadcasted their intentions to do this. But there are no police present and the person who sent us this did not observe any.
Now we go to what was on the tent that should raise serious concerns.
What you can clearly see here is that it says “kill whitey.” This is an illegal encampment making terrorist threats against a substantial number of people who live in, work in, or just visit DC every day. It is unmistakable hate speech, but, beyond that, it is actually a direct call to take the lives of people merely because they are white.
There is no defense of this.
Here you can see the whole illegal encampment with just a few people. Now imagine you are walking through here alone as a white person, are you going to feel safe?
Evidently the local police were not concerned that a group of people set up an illegal encampment in a public space in order to promote a call to kill white people.
CORRECTION: I originally said this was on Friday, before the big protest was planned, but I was mistaken. The picture was taken October 12th. This dispels the myth that these groups were not making such threats.
The Freedomist will be rolling out these sections over time, although this will tale some time. We will roll these sections out as we add content to them over time, and that content will include news aggregations with its own page, blog posts to that section, video, and memes.

How did President Trump overcome all the odds and obstacles and both attract and maintain a large and passionate following? The answer is charisma, in fact, hypnotic charisma. Now, the author of this article is an associate of mine and we work together on a project involving selling hypnotic charisma secrets, and audio sessions you can use anywhere. More on that at the end of the article.
Even President Trump’s opponents can acknowledge his very real hypnotic charisma, and while he may not have had any formal training or hypnotic charisma sessions, you can access such sessions, listen to them, and actually start to naturally tap into your own hypnotic charisma.
Donald Trump, Political Mass Hypnotist?
By Ralph Benko
Dilbert creator Scott Adams plausibly claimed that Trump is a “Master Wizard” using hypnosis on us. As one of “us” I considered this theory worth examining. The evidence shows that Trump is, in fact, using technique indistinguishable from hypnosis.
In a recent interview with Reason TV, Scott Adams, “prolific author, blogger, and creator of the massively popular comic strip Dilbert:
[T]he media are being trolled by a skilled manipulator, or in Adams’s parlance, a Master Wizard. …
“What I [see] in Trump,” says Adams, is “someone who was highly trained. A lot of the things that the media were reporting as sort of random insults and bluster and just Trump being Trump, looked to me like a lot of deep technique that I recognized from the fields of hypnosis and persuasion.”
One such technique is what Adams describes as a “linguistic kill shot,” in which Trump uses an engineered set of words that changes or ends an argument decisively. According to Adams, when Trump describes Jeb Bush as low energy, Carly Fiorina as robotic, or Ben Carson as nice, he’s imprinting a label you already feel about these people. They’re not random insults, but linguistic kill shots that you can never get out of your mind.
Similarly, where the media see random insults, Adams sees Trump creating a significant polling gap between those who attack him and those who compliment him, resulting in chilled aggression from his opponents. Trump, says Adams, uses “anchors,” which are big, visual thoughts that drown out any other argument.
A group targeting former U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold has a new ad out portraying him as hypnotist trying to make the public forget his past votes.
The ad by the anti-Feingold Wisconsin Alliance for Reform shows him dangling a stopwatch as if he were hypnotizing viewers to forget his votes for tax hikes, immigration reform and … Obamacare.
There is no hard evidence that Donald Trump (or Russ Feingold) received training in hypnosis. Pace Adams, it is far more likely that Trump, especially, has a natural gift, developed by his work in reality television. As the Washington Post’s Frances Stead Sellers recorded in What Trump Learned On The Apprentice:
“I’ve never had lessons,” Trump said. “I’ve always felt comfortable in front of a camera. Either you’re good at it or you’re not good at it.”
The show’s climatic boardroom meetings, he said, in characteristically boastful form, were a reflection of his natural talents.
“It was 100 percent ad lib,” he said. “Directly from me.”
Some who got to know Trump through the show say they have not been surprised in recent months to watch him perform in similar fashion on different stages. Trump, for instance, regularly holds forth before packed auditoriums with seemingly stream-of-consciousness speeches that captivate his audiences.
Just how does Trump “captivate his audiences”? Hypnosis would explain it to perfection.
Hypnosis has absolutely nothing to do with a swinging pocket watch. The swinging watch is an obsolete device — and cultural cliché — for inducing a hypnotic state. Hypnosis simply involves gently inducing a reverie, a state like a daydream: deep relaxation coupled with heightened alertness, while engaging the faculty of the imagination and softened analytic faculty, coupled with the power of suggestion. First rate politicians routinely employ this technique.
Hypnosis is a lot like yoga and meditation. In fact it historically is related to these, the word itself having been coined by 19th century Scottish surgeon James Braid, the father of modern hypnosis, whose work clearly demonstrates his close study of both. Like yoga and meditation hypnosis is moving through the “Rogers production adoption curve.”
Hypnosis, like sushi, is moving out of “fringe” or “risky” into “new” and even “hot.” Hypnotism was placed under a dark cloud in popular imagination by George du Maurier, in his 1894 novel Trilby. This book now is long forgotten but was an international sensation, a Harry Potter of its era.
You may never have heard of Trilby. You have heard of its anti-hero, the sinister hypnotist Svengali, a fictional character devised by du Maurier. “Svengali” entered, and still haunts, the popular imagination.
Hypnosis’s sinister characterization was perpetuated by Hollywood as a fantastic trope. Consider such classic films as The Manchurian Candidate. (Happy 100th, Ol’ Blue Eyes!)
Believing in Hollywood myths of hypnotism is akin to believing in Dracula, werewolves, and zombies. These make for a great pulp entertainment. As often is the case with Hollywood (as in Washington) dramatic license trumps facts.
So? Are Trump (and Feingold) really using hypnosis?
What is hypnosis? What’s its relevance to politics?
Short answers: Trump is using something indistinguishable from hypnosis. Feingold, perhaps, too. Understanding hypnosis is relevant if it is being used, in this political campaign, on us.
What is hypnosis? Dilbert creator Scott Adams blogged about hypnosis, in which he was thoroughly trained, a decade ago in his Dilbert Blog:
I describe the state of hypnosis as acquiring a power. The subject has all of his regular faculties operating plus he gains some more, if he has no objection to those new powers. For example, a subject under hypnosis would get a little extra power in one or more of these areas:
Extra relaxation
2. Extra imagination
3. Extra focus
Those extra powers don’t sound like much, but they are. …
About one person in five can experience what hypnotists call “the phenomena.” For those people, their powers of imagination become so strong it is almost indistinguishable from reality.
Key word: Imagination.
Ben Franklin, long ago, was made a royal commissioner in France. He, among other leading savants, was appointed by King Louis XVI to a royal commission to investigate a precursor to hypnosis, Mesmerism. The Commission’s report disposed of the claim that it was based in an invisible force called “animal magnetism.”
The Commission concluded that “the chief causes of the affects are contact, imagination, and imitation.”
Key word: Imagination.
We need not go back to the 18th century. One of the most esteemed psychologists of the 20th century was Stanford professor Ernest Hilgard. Hilgard and his wife founded, and directed for over 20 years, the Laboratory of Hypnosis Research at Stanford.
The American Psychological Association named its Lifetime Achievement Award for Hilgard. This rather neatly offsets hypnosis’s sinister reputation. Hilgard once succinctly defined hypnosis as “believed-in imagination” (personal communication to Michael Yapko, PhD).
Key word: Imagination.
When a political figure appeals to our imagination that is indistinguishable from hypnosis.
What a thing is imagination! Here are men who don’t know me, who have never seen me, but who only knew of me, and they are moved by my presence, they would do anything for me! And this same incident arises in all centuries and in all countries! Such is fanaticism! Yes, imagination rules the world. The defect of our modern institutions is that they do not speak to the imagination. By that alone can man be governed; without it he is but a brute.
Donald Trump, in his presidential (and perhaps Russ Feingold in his senatorial) race speaks directly to the voters’ imagination. This is nothing more, or less, than political hypnosis. The “hypnosis hypothesis,” even better than Byron York’s “brief theory of Trump’s outrageousness,” may explain Trump’s persistence as the Republican front runner.
Imagination is powerful. That said hypnosis may not be sufficient to carry Donald Trump all the way nomination or to election.
“Believed-in-imagination” — hypnosis — can be used to great political effect. Still, political hypnosis has limits with which Napoleon ultimately failed, and with which Donald Trump may yet have, to reckon.
Yet hypnosis is a force very much to be reckoned with. As Napoleon said, more than once, “Imagination rules the world.”
Charisma Can Be The Difference Between Wealth and Happiness On One Hand, Or Poverty And Sorrow On The Other Hand
Whether you are a sales professional, a business manager, a lawyer, a civil servant, a first responder, a bank teller, an aspiring actor or model, or even a barista — whatever you do — having charisma is like money in the bank.
Socially, charisma is what will gain you that seat at the cool kids’ lunch table.
And charisma is what will make you stand out as the perfect romantic partner (whether you are already married — rekindle the honeymoon! — or single and looking for your breathtakingly handsome Prince Charming or staggeringly lovely Snow White to notice you and fall in love with you).
Welcome. We are here to offer you some simple “life hacks” — safe, simple, easy ways to “hack” your own mind — to unleash the latent charisma hiding deep within you and bring it out, and gain all that charisma will brings to your life.
Pssst! Very few people know is that charisma is something that can be developed by anyone. Now you are one of them. Yes, some people are born with charisma. Most — like actress Marilyn Monroe, who started out as a very mousy Norma Jean Baker — develop it.
You can develop it too! You’ve come to the right place, where developing your charisma is inexpensive, fast, easy, and delicious. Follow along.
We – my professional partner and I — are two international experts in training people to do just that. More on that shortly. First things first. What is charisma?
Charisa is a Thing. It is not something mysterious or amorphous. Your latent charisma — “compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others” — can be cultivated and quickly unleashed in simple, easy, practical, affordable steps.
We know how. And our recordings available here will easily, effortlessly, unleash your latent charisma.
But how?
Little known fact. Charisma experts — such as psychologists — have absolutely proven that charisma come from some basic building blocks.
These blocks are: social and emotional expressivity, sensitivity, and poise.
We’ve taken it beyond the theory into practice.
Together, let’s set free your inner super-hero, as you discover and use your hidden charisma.
Charisma comes from very specific qualities of your presentation.
Among these qualities are:
your body language, how you stand or sit;
the tenor of the sound of your voice;
your very specific choice of words for their implicit suggestions;
your ability to radiate “grace under pressure,”
your ability to validate your own gut instincts;
your ability to be present-in-the-moment and really connect with people; and
your power to use the Power of Yes to overwhelm negativity.
Why believe us? We are two of the most recognized charisma specialists in the world. We have taught hundreds of people and have thousands of followers in our virtual community around the world. Now, having proven it in practice, we wish to take hypnotic charisma to the next level and bring it to millions of lucky people.
Hypnotic charisma is not a clinical process but it is a professional one. I am a Registered Nurse and my partner in this practice is a retired White House lawyer.
And we are two of the most highly trained, accomplished, hypnotists in the world.
We have distilled the charisma techniques that will powerfully and quickly unleash your inner charisma. We have distilled these into seven self-hypnosis recordings. Hypnosis isn’t kooky or spooky any more. It’s been studied extensively by places like Harvard University Medical School, Stanford University, and the Mayo Clinic (none of which are we affiliated with but you get the idea). It has been proven to be a powerful, safe, modality to engage the mind-body connection and the superpowers that come with doing that.
Modern hypnosis no longer involves “trance.” It induces a pleasant state of reverie — like a daydream — in which your consciousness is in no way diminished and you never surrender control of your mind to others. Listening to our self-hypnosis recordings is like listening to a guided meditation.
But it’s not metaphysical. It’s practical. Its benefits are powerful and tangible. (Like helping you get that raise you deserve!)
Modern hypnosis uses the powers of your imagination to transform your presentation of your natural self in a charismatic way. Don’t confuse “imagination” with “imaginary.” It is a sleeping superpower inside you. Hypnosis, according to one of its greatest researchers, is, simply stated, “believed-in imagination.” Very cool, very safe, stuff. The right stuff.
Hypnosis can help anyone, and that includes you.
Believed-in imagination — hypnosis — is so powerful! As Napoleon once said, “Imagination rules the world.” Using his imagination this short, unprepossessing, provincial solider of humble birth made himself an Emperor.
Just imagine what you can do with this power!
Why believe us?
We are internationally recognized as two of the top ~100 hypnotists in the world by the National Guild of Hypnotists, the oldest (67 years), largest (~20,000 members), and most respected (mentioned in the Congressional Record) professional association of non-clinical hypnotists in the world. (Documentation upon request.) Each of us has appeared on the cover of its flagship magazine, The Journal of Hypnotism. We are on the faculty of its annual worldwide convention and present intensive certification trainings at its annual Summer Institute. We’re experts.
Hypnosis is a state of reverie, and in this state your mind and body can be awakened to your inner charisma

The Catalonian Parliament has declared independence, after the government ministers failed to act with firm resolution in the matter, thus making all members of Parliament vulnerable to the Spanish state, which promises retribution.
“We hereby constitute the Catalan Republic as an independent, sovereign, legal, democratic, socially-conscious state“, reads the declaration in part. It was passed 70 to 10 with 2 abstentions. The Parliament has 135 members, so 53 had to have not even bothered to show up.
Meanwhile, the Spanish Senate has voted to suspend the region’s autonomy and given Mariano Rajoy, the nationalist Prime Minister, extraordinary powers to seize control of the region by force if necessary. The Spanish Prosecutor plans to bring the “rebels” up on charges, with 30 year prison sentences in the offing.
Bill Collier- The current government of the autonomous region of Catalonia has asked for, and called a referendum in support of, nothing less than independence from the Spanish crown. In its bid for total independence, the government has been strident and seemingly uncompromising, but when the time came for words and rhetoric to be followed with resolute action and resistance, the very men and women, led by one Carles Puidgdemont, who started this crisis offered indecisiveness and made no decision at all.
Given two choices, to call snap elections or to declare independence, and having called a meeting of the regional parliament with some fanfare, Puigdemont gave words, passed the entire matter to the parliament to decide, and did nothing. While the Spanish minority government under Rajoy and company has railed against the government ministers, including Puigdemont, even its invocation of Article 155 by which it means to administer the region directly and turn out Puigdemont and company, did not envision turning out the elected regional government. But thanks to the buck-passing of Puigdemont, the Parliament itself must now decide whether to declare full independence or to surrender, leaving every member vulnerable to repercussions they could have avoided if Puigdemont had been decisive.
Regardless of the aspirations of the people of Catalonia, which are in dispute, their government ministers, especially Puigdemont, have proven they lack courage and conviction. Yes, they are in a tight squeeze with no good answers, but their own actions and rhetoric have placed them in this squeeze. They walked up to this precipice on their own, and now they refuse to make a choice, to back off or plunge into the conflict. Instead of being leaders who shield the people they lead, namely Parliament and the citizens, they have pushed this crisis forward and then stepped aside and pinned the tail, as it were, on others.
When pushing for independence from a political state it is always necessary to count the cost first. One would have thought these so-called leaders would not have precipitated a crisis of these proportions, affecting so many millions of people without having done so.
Did they secretly arm and prepare the Mossos, their own regional police, to defend their new republic? Do they have other means of doing so? Do they have other foreign allies who will help them or recognize their new state?
We have heard they plan to resist the Spanish “invasion” and takeover in some Ghandi-esque manner. This is a bad misreading of Ghandi. His tactics of non-violence only worked because the British were unwilling and unable to use force, his opponents did not have the moral certitude that they even should be ruling India! The Spanish state, which has not truly and completely severed its fascist roots, is quite willing to use force and has no lack of moral certainty with respect to its rule over Catalonia.
Unlike the British, who faced increasing international pressure regarding their colonial empire, the Spanish state has, at worse, tepid reactions against and, overall, support from the EU and the world community for retaining control over Catalonia. Sympathy for Catalonian independence is blunted by the lack of certainty as to its popularity in the region, its potential economic and political impact on the EU, and the lack of moral certainty on the part of its instigators (as evidenced by their lack of firm actions).
It is a crime to foment a crisis which has serious negative impacts on your own people and then be unwilling to make decisive choices or take firm actions to resolve it. Puigdemont could have called snap elections, he could have attended the Spanish Senate session to potentially negotiate a compromise, or he could have agree swiftly on the referendum and ordered his regional police to protect his new Republic. Instead, he instigated a crisis and at the critical hour passed the buck to others, making people he could have shielded from repercussions vulnerable now to either the Spanish authorities (who were limiting their threats to him and his ministers) or to the populace who are clamouring for independence who might turn on a parliament that Puigdemont has saddled with a choice that was his to make.
In the end, Catalonia has been fomented into a thirst for independence and its leaders are refusing to either temper the thirst they have stoked or to finally take decisive action and declare independence. They have put the crowds on the streets and the regional parliament on the firing line, they are forcing them to both make this hard decision and face the full consequences, which the actions of the leaders who started this crisis could have shielded them from.
Puigdemont could have fallen on his sword, having realized the choice is violence or retreat, and called for snap elections or he could have resolutely declared independence and called on his Mossos and the people in the streets to back this up. In the first case, he could have taken the blame and prevented this crisis from going forward without betraying the aspirations of the pro-independence elements. In the second case, be could have followed through on his commitment and if the Spanish authorities really did act with force and prevail, he could have taken the blame and shielded others from consequences.
Were I to be Puigdemont, I would have counted the cost first. But even if I realized that I had miscalculated, I would have declared independence. Assuming this resulted in Spanish occupation and my arrest, at the least I would have kept the hope of independence alive and delegtimized the Spanish occupation, knowing that history has a way of providing improbable opportunities to seemingly lost causes. But I would have mobilized the Mossos and the people on the day after declaring the final results of the referendum, I would not have let this drag on.
Let’s be clear: Puigdemont instigated this entire crisis. He was its architect and designer. It is now obvious he did not count the cost, nor did he make serious preparations for the worse-case scenario. One suspects he knows he lacks overwhelming popular support, hence his reticence. But he should have known whether he truly has widespread popular support or whether he has the means to resist the use of force. He seems never to have even asked such critical questions, and he definitely has no answers.
It is still possible Puigdemont could take actions that change this current assessment, but regardless of that, his handling of a crisis he instigated has so far been meandering and indecisive and has only weakened his cause. He has done long-term harm to his own cause and he has disrupted millions of lives in a failed bid whose failings were caused almost totally by his own incapacity as a leader.
WHEN THE CENTER CANNOT HOLD
You Must Find Another Way
Bill Collier- Trust in leading American institutions has dropped from a high average of 43% in 2004 to a low of 32% now, according to Gallup. What is more telling is the low approval numbers for institutions such as education, the media, and leading politicians. Only the military, with 73% trust, remains a stable institution with broad respect. For instance, while the US President enjoys approval ratings of 36% to 42%, hardly a resounding vote of confidence, Congress has an approval rating of 9%. This means 91% don’t trust the institution that makes its laws.
We could cite examples of public officials and institutions, academia, and the news media all day. Across the board, people don’t trust the gatekeepers and opinion shapers whose judgments in time past were respected. It used to be, for instance, when major news anchors declaimed on something or someone, they were finished. Walter Cronkite could make or break an issue or a politician.
But what happened, perhaps, is that holders of such influence abused it for partisan or parochial gains and, gradually, the general public caught wind of what was happening. It was realized that the Walter Cronkite were really just working to advance their own agenda. Truth and facts were never the goal, despite the claim, but only controlling your perceptions to manipulate you into acting or voting in a certain way that might help the manipulators and not you.
In this scenario, the center cannot hold. In the long term, perhaps next year or in twenty years, such a situation can lead to such upheavals that total collapse of major institutions, including governments, occurs. This is history repeating itself, of course, as it always does, in the endless cycles of the rise and fall of nations, empires, and whole civilizations. It is not possible that our nations of people, our empires (political states) or our civilization will escape these cycles any more than you can escape death.
When you live in a time of such dissolution of public trust in the institutions that normally center a society, you have to find your own center. Throughout history, the people who lived in such times and yet held their own center often became the most successful, prosperous, and powerful people in their day.
Consider the monastic orders of the 5th century. These created their own center, both physical and spiritual. They became the progenitors of our current civilization in the West. They became very wealthy and influential and it took centuries to break the power of their institutional grip.
It can be argued that the nobility and royalty that emerged in every society throughout history were the people who had their own center during times when the center could not hold in a dying society. If one traces the roots of most royal and noble families it should not be surprising to see they emerged even from humble roots because of this ability to hold their own center.
In the late 1990’s the book “The Sovereign Individual” sold tens of thousands of copies. It proposed a time of collapse in which the new nobility, my words not theirs, would emerge from sovereign individuals, people who could exist and thrive outside the limits and control of the welfare state, which, while it reached its peak in the late 20th century, would not survive the 21st century. While the tenacity of that now archaic model for organizing a society may have exceeded expectations, events have more or less tracked with that book’s prescience.
What we are witnessing cannot be seen or understood outside of an understanding of the cyclical nature of history, and the rise and fall of civilizations. Whoever understands these things knows the times in which we live and realizes that trying to preserve the old forms and structures is foolhardy. The structures and forms of a mature and now dying civilization will not fit or work in a new civilization, for instance. The ancient monastic communities which emerged at the end of the Classical Civilization were suited to the new civilization, which became the Western Civilization.
The range of possibilities is not limited only by creativity, it is limited by creativity, logic, science, and historical necessity. That which is not historically necessary will not be possible, and it will not succeed. If you to try to re-create or perpetuate the old forms and structures of a mature civilization during a time when the old civilization is in decline and the seeds of new civilizations are necessary, you will fail.
The center cannot hold in a declining civilization any more than a human heart can beat forever. Death is what follows life, even as life follows death. But each new generation begins during the previous generation, and each new civilization emerges in seed form during a preceding civilization.
Here then is where you and I have to find our own center, just as the monastic communities did, when it seems the barbarians have overrun civilization from within and from without and on every front. The ancient monastic communities may have preserved the knowledge and memory of the Classical world, but they did not preserve the culture of their day, they created the seeds of a new culture, which became Western Civilization and which is now as morally and spiritually bankrupt as was the Classical world in the 4th and 5th centuries.
Each national people and whole countries could theoretically escape the deluge that attends the collapse of a civilization into its final phase of caesarism, but usually they don’t. But the emergence of new structures and forms, suited to the genesis phase of a new civilization, occurs during this decline. This becomes the new center for the few who won’t merely be swept along insensibly in the currents of spiritual, sociocultural, economic, and political decline. Most people will be swept along, few will find the new forms and structures, and these few along with their heirs, according to the historical record, generally become the progenitors of the first nobility and royalty of the next civilization. (New noble and royal families usually emerge even after the new civilization is established, which is a different dynamic.)
I’m not arguing for monarchy or anything like that, I’m arguing that this is the historical reality. Regardless of the nomenclature, however, the heirs of those who hold their own center during a decline scenario will tend to fair better than everyone else.
We have to be honest and admit our civilization is in decline and our country has more or less chosen the path of going with the flow of that civilization. While we can seek to divert our country to the path of a new civilization, and we should, the only way to guarantee a secure future for ourselves and our posterity is to find and actualize our own center through the forms and structures of a new civilization. In fact, our chances of diverting our country to the path of the new civilization may hinge on our ability to live lives that are neither controlled and influenced by nor dependent upon the forms and structures of the old civilization.
If we don’t hold to our own center, we must follow the current over the falls.
