As the US learns the lessons of foreign nation-building in a land that rejects the values upon which that effort is based, what about the situation at home where a majority of people at home lack trust in major institutions? Who will engage in and upon what basis will they engage in nation-building in America’s neighborhoods and communities?
Nation-building at home is all about building or restoring LOCAL institutions, including entities that influence government and other institutions or that have a public trust, and making them trustworthy in the sense they protect and honor the human dignity, human rights, and human flourishing of every person in that community, showing no favor or prejudice toward any, and with both the individual’s good and the common welfare in mind, always.
Too many efforts to nation-building at home are disjointed, narrow on focus, and not broadly backed by an organized polity of any kind. Often, projects we may call aimed at nation-building and freedom and prosperity building efforts, are hit or miss, reactionary, and short-lived in their scope and impact. People suddenly respond, rally, demand something, and are usually ignored, then the moment passes and the issue becomes another in a long line of frustrations until the next dramatic rally.
To nation-build at home would demand the deliberate gathering and organizing of a cohesive polity who are capable of influencing a strong plurality of voters and consumers who will take their cue from them and actually vote, petition, demonstrate, boycott, or buycott, en bloc. Building a strong polity of freedom loving people who can and will act as one with discipline and focus is a necessity that must presage the rallies, votes, and etc that are often launched by a few vocal people as a strong reaction to a controversy or offense.
It is argued that one needs a cause or issue to elicit the kind of response upon which to build a movement. It is certainly easier to use an issue and generate meetings, activities, and rallies. But it doesn’t last without a serious outlay of funding and professional leaders and organizers being paid. An army of all volunteers motivated by an issue of the moment is ineffective in the long-term.
The war we are fighting is a war against diverse ruling class factions, to the left and the right, who desire to own our possessions and suppress our God-given human dignity and human rights and to thereby deny our human flourishing. We must gather a country-wide digital army of freedom builders in every Congressional District and County until we have depth and breadth on an unprecedented scale.
The Freedomist List, for now, is gathering people interested in our content but we aim to find, gather, organize, and mobilize Freedomists in every US Congressional District and County until all these places have at least one active Flight of 10-20 freedom builders and on Club of 120 or so activists and we can mobilize over 100,000 Americans for any visible rally, event, or peaceful demonstration at any time or location.
If we do not focus on building both a volunteer and professional activist corps of freedom builders then we will always be at a disadvantage to our diverse opponents and those masses they have fooled into following and fighting for them. If we want to nation-build at home we must begin with building a virtual-to-local Freedomist corps of freedom-building activists who have a presence in most all or all Congressional Districts and Counties.
Just what this network does will be as diverse as one may imagine. They may enage in a boycott or buycott, they may conduct an awareness and education campaign with public events or parades, they may canvass for ballot initiatives, they may perform opposition research on the ground and/or virtually, they may lead local efforts to pass a Freedom Sanctuary Resolution or Ordnance in their municipality or county, and the list goes on.
The main concept here is sort of like a spiritual air force, organized like an air force but the only “weapons” are things like prayer, peaceful public events and outreach, information, legal actions, and the such. Still, however, the spirit and vibe should come off as a sort of spiritual air force and not some hodgepodge, indisciplined, “leaderless movement.”
We want to find, train, and fund leaders, organizers, and experts/professionals who will support the many millions of people we envision joining this “spiritual air force” to wage unrelenting spiritual and then information, economic, legal, and political warfare, albeit 100% peaceful and within the law, to defeat the freedom taking factions that rule this land right now. We aim for a total transfer of power from the top and center to the People in their families, free associations, local communities, and the states and away from the Federal power and monopoly corporate powers.
Subscribers to The Freedomist will be crowdfunding this effort.
Organizationally, we plan to find provisional leader candidates to help, on a voluntary basis, build the core infrastructure of this spiritual air force, consisting of chartered clubs and chartered Freedomist Guard Flights of around 10-20 activists.
The Flights are more active freedom builders who are committed to making a visible showing for freedom in their locale, including participation in parades, setting up booths at events, providing ushering and basic unarmed security for events like rallies, doing door to door canvassing, and assisting people with things like understanding gun laws, home safety and security, amd disaster and emergency preparedness.
The Clubs will also be activists and freedom seekers and will focus on creating a local mirror structure to hold all government and other entities with a public trust accountable to the Bill ofRights, gaining the signature of voters for the Freedom Sanctuary Resolution and to get them to take The Freedomist Pledge, and having a space for gatherings and social activities.
If we say the Freedomist Guard is the “military” branch of our movement, we don’t in any way mean anything beyond a spiritual warfare and the symbolism of a spiritual air force. We are not advocates for any kind of militia that isn’t regulated by local, state, or federal authorities and we are definitely strongly opposed to violence in any form or fashion. But we do believe that a “military theme” in our approach engenders the spirit of our efforts as a form of peaceful spiritual and information warfare in defense of freedom with justice for ALL Americans of every demographic grouping or identity in this land.
Through our spiritual air force, the Guard, and our parallel civic/social structures in the form of Clubs, the Freedomist aims to build a strong freedom movement built on Judeo-Christian values while respecting the human dignity and human rights of all fellow Americans and promoting universal human flourishing for them as well. Our cause is to build the Freedomist as a strong and well organized, if also decentralized, movement for freedom that serves all Americans without exception.
What this movement does, the battles it fights, such as so-called “critical race theory” or the lying corpostate press establishment, or specifically ballot initiatives and candidates it supports, will emerge both through leadership and through the People engaging in the decision-making process whereby these priorities are set.
But FIRST we must BUILD THE MOVEMENT!
Building the Freedomist Movement through The Freedomist, as crowdfunded by our subscribers, is the key to nation-building at home.
