I, too, have inadvertently discovered I am an anarchist 😄 I don’t call myself that because I jettisoned all labels as part of my liberation from tribalistic, partisan thinking, but I find my values overlap with those of my fellow Nevermore Media (https://nevermore.media/) contributors, including Derrick.
“You can deliver yourselves if you try, not by taking action, but merely by willing to be free. Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break into pieces.”
I urge you, Dr. Lawrie, to consider study of the great advocates of anarchism throughout history. My favorite is Emma Goldman, whose autobiography" Living My Life" is considered one of the great autobiographies in the English language. Goldman was Russian but immigrated to the US in her teens.
Anarchism hardly means no organization. It means no hierarchical organization. The city of Barcelona was run in an anarchist fashion for a year during the Spanish civil war. The anarchists were a small part of the resistance to Franco's fascists. The Communists were the main opposition to Franco. That war was how the great powers tested their weapons for WWII. Eric Blair, aka George Orwell, fought against the fascists in that war. Since fascism is correctly understood as the unity of corporations and the state, our health freedom movement is a form of anti-fascism.
Petr Kropotkin, also Russian, with his books Mutual Aid and Fields Factories and Workshops of Tomorrow was very important. Mutual Aid served to refute the lie from the late 19th century that survival of the fittest was how society was expected to run. He showed through other species that it was "survival of the fittest species versus other species rather than the twisting of the phrase to mean " survival of the fittest individual versus individual"
Leo Tolstoy, the great Russian Novelist, was a Christian anarchist.
I just did a latin to English translator "corona virus " or COR ONA VIRUS translates to HEART ATTACK VIRUS .. I also notice now on hoogle if you try that it only works if you switch latin yo another language then back to latin. Its being censored. Crazy watching this censorship in real time. I saw this as well with wikipedia and Dr Bret Weinstien.

"National Security"
When one of my high school friends interviewed for a job with the NSA in the 1990s, an agent asked me about my friend's trustworthiness regarding national security. I asked what he meant by "national security." He just repeated the term.
Since then, my tentative conclusion is that the publicly acceptable definition is protection of the citizenry as a whole against attack from another country or a non-country group like Al Qaeda. The real definition is protection of those in power, i.e., the government or whomever controls that (MIC/WEF/whatever).
Dear Tess, if I could vote for anarchy I would because I am one. Almost my whole existence has been one of curiosity, asking questions and discovering what lies below the surface layer of information.
I also think there's a danger that anarchy tends not to work. It has been tried back in the 60's and 70's but in any group of people there are always those hungry for power and so groups start forming.
Governance steers, guides and does of course manipulate.
What concerns me most though are ideologies. Ideologies or ideological thinking delivers a kind of straightjacket of thought amongst its adherents.
Ideologies gave us neoliberalism, which has been fostered under all political parties.
It was Thatcher who decided that MHRA should be funded by the organisations it was supposed to regulate. She also stopped university blue sky thinking and innovation. They had to be more commercial.
This has at least in part driven the peer review system to be almost pointless. Also destroying any chance of asking questions or challenging the status quo.
Underpinning all this is the myth of our money system, something I've been researching just before the global financial crisis.
When one ties together, neoliberalism, the money system and power, we get to where we are today.
Vested interests get richer from Government hand outs, and we all suffer to varying degrees.
So, yes, I vote for anarchy, but beware those who crave power from within.
For this and so much more dealing with the use of language and a better understanding of natural law one can do no better than to listen to the seminar s given by Mark Passio
This pagan says yay, yes, affirmative. The only exercise that works for me, besides walking, is jump rope. I am 58, and have found (over my lifetime) that jumprope is the quickest and cheapest and funnest way to get in shape. I do have use a jumping pad if I am on a hard surface such as concrete or blacktop. There's my 2cents from Oregon for being an anarchist, hop your way to hope and happiness. ;}
Anarchism is a well established and highly developed philosophy. It has nothing to do with the idea of chaos. Anyone who seriously reads Anarchistic philosophy (and it is very serious) would laugh at such an absurdly reductionist view. Anarchism is THE philosophy IMHO. It empowers the individual to seek and build a just society in cooperation with others. It is a vast and in-depth field of philosophy that contains many ideas on how such a society should be conceived.

Thank you. Highly relevant and very helpful.
I am a great admirer of the work of James Corbett. However, I have never been able to fully understand why he calls himself an anarchist. I was hoping to have an opportunity to ask him some day, but now I know.
Yes, T.H.E.Y. have been doing this for a long, long time. The following books all provide excellent exposure and insights into much of it. They are all relatively quick and easy to read, as well:
Operation Mind Control: The CIA's Plot Against America Paperback – Walter Bowart (1978)
Tavistock Institute: Social Engineering the Masses Paperback – Daniel Estulin (2015)
Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control Paperback – Stephen Kinzer (2020)
Yes, the kowtowing of western governments and establishment institutions to the totalitarian Chinese Communist Party says it all, really. An estimated 23 million Fallon Gong adherents ‘disappeared’ in the 90’s, 1M Ugyurs in concentration camps, and an illicit organ trade born from forced harvesting to feed a burgeoning international market. Seriously, the kowtowing says it all! However, for more Michael P. Senger, Kai Strittmatter, Clive Hamilton, and Peter Schweizer have all written excellent works on the CCP.
Thank you for your integrity in this conflict with tyranny.
Christ said “give on to Cesar what is Cesar’s and unto God what is God’s(Lk20:25)”. While the context is talking about taxes/money, the broader meaning is a moral choice to put God first. Earthly governments, always inferior to the true Creator God, will attempt to usurp. It is up to the individual to decide to whom or what they owe allegiance and to be willing to pay the price. The Bible is replete with wonderful examples of individuals such as Joseph and Daniel who lived as captives in a hostile ‘mind control government’ yet remained loyal to the true God AND were blessed by God for their loyalty. May we all trust the true God to intervene in the world we live in today. I’ve read the book and I know who wins. I don’t know the time line or how it’s going to happen but I do know who wins and it’s not the WEF or the WH(hate)O.
There is a sensitivity that you can develop which aligns the facts that:
A) Mens is the latin word for mind.
B) Mensis is the latin word for month.
C) -ment is the English suffix for the act of doing a thing.
D) A woman's body cycles about every month.
I'd also like to call your attention to any memory you have of overcoming cognitive dissonance (the inability to properly appreciate evidence which shows your worldview to be incorrect). I bet that it took about a month once you accepted the hard work of assimilating the evidence.
I have considered these things so much that, to me, the idea that the etymology of "government" points to "mind control" is very much aligned with something I decided on my own long before I was exposed to that idea. I decided that my own personal development of a conscience was more important than 'obeying the law'. It seemed there was way more to it than that. The claim "it's perfectly legal!" became more of a burden and a lame excuse than an honest accounting of my behavior. When you take on anarchy, or voluntaryism, you discover that part of your new job is to escape the trap of thinking that legality and morality are the same, or, to put it a different way, to stop allowing your mind to be controlled.
Having worked in western medicine for 40 years, looking at alternative medicine and health for around 35 years, and studying Chinese thought, Taiji and qigong for 23 years, I totally believe qigong/Chinese medicine can be a part of the system to get us out of the mess we’re in. The growth of wm has been exponential as we know. They’ve taken people’s power away with propaganda calling any alternative treatment quackery; that line has been pushed since the beginning of Rockefeller medicine. Chinese medicine is so much more wholistic, and qigong gets to the base of it all with the incorporation of body, mind and spirit with simple practices done daily. Breath, mind/spirit and movement are vital to our physical health. We have so much more ability to heal ourselves then we know.
I, too, have inadvertently discovered I am an anarchist 😄 I don’t call myself that because I jettisoned all labels as part of my liberation from tribalistic, partisan thinking, but I find my values overlap with those of my fellow Nevermore Media (https://nevermore.media/) contributors, including Derrick.
In my second essay (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/covid-is-over-if-you-want-it), I revealed Étienne de La Boétie’s anarchistic secret to overthrowing tyranny, and it remains an abiding theme in my work:
“You can deliver yourselves if you try, not by taking action, but merely by willing to be free. Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break into pieces.”
Viva La Révolution! ✊
So right. And we have to stop using the term "the authorities" too and call them what they really are: public servants.

Somewhere,

And some will GO
hoping for asylum somewhere,

fresh blood smeared on
prayerful hands, pressing
close for doled out
blessings...
Some will not...Phew!
Intuit who
to trust in this realtime
sordid debacle. Act out! Militate
in a furor of “Great Refusal”
to hasten collapse of a defunct epoch.
Be nomadic. Explore beyond
where photons go—curved toward
black holes. And finagle to manifest
light with a flicker of intent
on event horizon, so to illumine
nascent worlds into
bright being…
For combat-tested
DREAMERS, flying by the seat
of his/her pants, windborne in eternal
NOW with both eyes wide open
are most apt to escape future
turbulence & survive to seed
fruitful moments...all-ways
trusting in what yearns
to be
free
in all of us.
2. Poet’s Modus Operandi
“ Remember the cruelties!”
Voltaire
My own
severest critic, I strive
to employ an open contempt
so potent to justify my
revolt against cruelest normalities.
And so with sigil, shibboleth,
trope (that human born, that lyrical
kosmic whispering) & discrete metre,
I mean to stave off the tyranny
of bullet-proof, slam dunk truth
before paralysis overtakes in
contagion of pedestrian intrigues,
suddenesses & incoherence.
Then to proclaim
with much fanfare & horns
a-tootin’ Sanctuary!
Sanctuary! from the Massacre
of the Dreamers!
And, oh yeah! Poetry
to be the only absolutely
absolute.
