A global network of culture jammers and creatives working to change the way information flows, the way corporations wield power, and the way meaning is produced in our society started a prank: occupy wall street, for as long as possible.

Radical Change presupposes a crisis to respond to, eventually identifying and addressing the ROOT cause of the problem. Foreign empires induce rebellion for local autonomous sovereignty. Remember when Alalu was deposed by Anu during the first historical environmental degradation? Humans are slaves to an alien force, mining gold for the benefit of an empire at the expense of their own prosperity. A Revolution against relations of capital must then be forged, for liberation, for life.
If Israel is a religious concept that the United States (secular country with separation between church and state) protects and aids then why can it not protect Gaia as well? DGR Strategy Full Our most enlightened ideals reject an unrepresentative empire of foreign control, pointing to a network of insurgency from which to attack, disrupt, and dismantle the structures of oppression that destroy the world for short-term gain…this is selfishness…disconnection…evil.
Let us educate, organize, utilize civil disobedience with electoral politics – enact green anarchy programs
WE NEED TO BE CUTTING “SUPPLY LINES” (coerced labor) AND MAKING SURE WE ARE SELF-SUSTAINABLE. LET’S FIGURE OUT WHAT WE NEED AND HOW TO PRODUCE IT. PROTECT AND INCREASE BIODIVERSITY. LEARN THE MOST EFFICIENT USE OF RESOURCES TO SURVIVE. DEFLATE CAPITALISM’S NEGATIVE ATTRIBUTES and cripple the key nodes of industrial infrastructure responsible for catastrophic ecological collapse
Grow things. Take stock. Plan ahead, figure out problems, use experts (study forces of nature), pray to god s/he/it doesn’t kill you. If there is a god.
Taking out dams, energy, industry, communication transportation consumption production…is this ecofacism or common sense for anyone who understands that to think an industrial growth society and an intact earth system can co-exist is to not understand the paradox of an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object.
Ending the effect of polluters all over the world requires strikers shutting down assembly lines, hackers bringing it all down, taking down a civilization that murders the powerless and steals the wealth of the world. It is the fundamental principle of the working economic system: Transport of raw materials, Ohm’s law, Murphy’s law. To undergo a transformation, spiritual and metaphorical, is to want to grow up, want their fear to go away, want to end external control so that nothing hurts– IF CIVILIZATION IS KILLING LANDBASES, IT NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED TO PROTECT HUMANS.
Nonsensical logic is based on an immature perception of the world. To impair the oil and electrical systems as much as possible would be a great start toward taking down civilization: E-weapons, programs, viruses, worms, the disruption of communications, BILLING. We want things to go down so hard they can’t come back up EVER AGAIN. To recognize their thresholds of operation and understand their various recovery features is to then target devices or processes that could not be easily restored. Power generation can’t be easily replaced. IMPAIRMENT of SYSTEMS means the Distortion of information. STUXNET.
A dozen people could take down civilization in waves, take down the electrical grid of North America, a blackout lasting for months. Take out key components, hit them again in the meantime. IT TAKES GUTS and a small, tight harmonious group of people. WE NEED TO BE OFF THE GRID BEFORE THE GRID IS TAKEN DOWN. *********
TWO MILLION DAMS means Reclaiming the earth through combined arms operation: telecommunications, programming and logic, hardware, information systems, databasing, pyrotechnics, heavy machinery…power generation systems, types of machinery, valves…energy specialists studied the energy infrastructure…the system takes itself out*****
Smaller strikes are necessary to impede and impair the functioning of this extractive economy– the government, economy, and culture is one of occupation. SABOTAGE INFRASTRUCTURE in the most effective places…disrupt the delivery of raw materials. Disrupt that flow and the economy falters, over and over. Delivery: Train, truck, and ship…roads, rail lines, ports…TRANSPORTATION OF GOODS.
The purpose of the military is to fuck up the infrastructure of the countries where the US wants to steal resources or maintain a military presence to use as a staging area to steal somebody else’s resources. Attack choke points and bottlenecks, where things MUST pass through.
Leverage, points of greatest stress, delivery of energy, electrical grid. natural gass supply line. INFLICT MAXIMUM DAMAGE.
“Civilization is nothing more nor less than cities using increasingly sophisticated technologies and increasingly more force to steal increasing amounts of resources from increasingly depleted and ever-increasing parts of the globe. That’s it. That’s all it is. And it will not last.” ENDGAME 820
Identify the landbase, discontinue cities, dams, deforesters.
OIL, food storage, transport water, mass production. economic collapse, war, starvation, die-off. crash of civilization,…community gardens, edible plants, potable water, soften the crash…bottlenecks = vulnerability. bleed the enemy, culture exhausts its soil. central infrastructure. direct action teams
overcome empire:
geographically isolated, ideologically divided, lacking skills, under-equipped, lacking focus/discipline, restrained by relationships, or afraid. win hearts and minds of those who would otherwise plug it back in.
Actions every 10 days, targets scouted, hit and runs, shut down fuel/energy systems, auxiliary systems, massive blackouts…”We must bring down not only the physical infrastructure that allows them to commit these great atrocities, but also the destructive mindset that has created this infrastructure. We must attack on all fronts, wherever and whenever we find the opportunity.” 849
—
100,000 cultures to replace it, each one emerging from its own landbase, adapted to adnd adaptive for its own landbase, each one doing what sustainable cultures of all times and all places have done for their landbases: helping the landbase to become stronger, more itself, through ttheir presence….
After civilization is gone from the earth and from your hearts, we will teach you how to live. We will not do it before then because your culture has been trying to kill us, and also because you would try to make MONEY from what we say or you would try to paste what we tell you onto your unworkable system.
Ah, 2012. How our society loves thee. Whether to exploit for personal gain, or to cower in fear because of, it seems our infatuation with one particular point in space-time is beyond all rational critique. Even so, the potential that this date holds–as a unifying signifier–is certainly impressive. Just think of it: what if the entire world’s population stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky? No more wars, no more oppression, no more hate, no more pollution, no more crime…just humanity united in its astonishment of a cosmic alignment that perhaps may never be witnessed again.
Yet not only physically, or materially impressive, this united front could offer the world a real catalyst for restructuring our institutions and global systems. Indeed, such a critical mass might offer the mechanism to produce a planetary shift for integral evolutionary enlightenment.
In this way, the body, mind, and spirit of the universe would essentially provide for the structure of a subtle force to be manifested out of the causal nature of cosmic intent–the descent of spirit into matter.
Can you imagine Consciousness without identity? Can you embody the process of ego-loss in order to experience Unitive Consciousness? As unborn awareness comes forth in form, we have the option of awakening to the rebirth of a new self. We have the option of living life according to principles of Non-Duality. Time is merely the distance between historic points in space. Einstein taught us that energy always exhibits mass in whatever form the energy takes. What form will our energy take?
Will love transform the world or will we just blow up?
Prosecuting criminals includes understanding a system of criminality. When unassuming individuals are preyed on for their naiveté concerning a system they are engaged with it is the duty of those charged with regulating that market to protect the innocent and punish the guilty. Unfortunately, when the financial marketplace and government is either inept (and without the means of enforcement) or CORRUPTED, victims are exploited.
Is this crime?
If you think FRAUD is a crime worth rectifying, and that designing mortgages to fail is a crime against the customer, then your response would probably affirm the above question. YET THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN UNETHICAL AND ILLEGAL. We are talking about fraud built into the system to accumulate PROFIT. We are talking about the manipulation and exploitation of an entire CLASS of people– those tricked into buying a TOXIC product. We are talking about the global stock market that fell out and the DISAPPEARANCE OF 17 TRILLION DOLLARS, popping the biggest bubble in history and turning America’s financial problem into a global one.
That is where criminality occurs: when portfolios of nothingness are sold to investors who have no clue as to its nature. One class is wiped out (financially) while another is rewarded for their exploits. And so, the entire system is infected as Main Street is bitch slapped by The Invisible Hand (yet again.). If you know where that Hand is going to strike though, you can make quite a killing.
This is a collusion to profit made by rogue groups of schemers, hedge funds, and unregulated market tacticians who lie, cheat, and steal. THIS IS IRRESPONSIBLE AND DELIBERATE. Yet these people are CREATING THE PROBLEMS BY CREATING THE “RULES,” i.e. THEY ARE PRODUCING THE MECHANISMS BY WHICH TO EXPLOIT AND PROFIT FROM SOCIETY. It is a predatory system, producing no value whatsoever.
The entire effect of this debacle is an insurmountable debt that cannot be paid back, while the richest 1% owns about 70% of the world’s wealth transferred from the Middle Class. THIS IS CLASS WAR BETWEEN CREDITORS AND DEBTORS, THE FINANCIAL SECTOR AND THE “REAL ECONOMY,” WHERE CREDITORS CAN REPOSSESS THE HOMES OF WORKING PEOPLE, AND RECEIVE MONEY FROM THE U.S. GOVERNMENT TO DO IT.
STRUCTURAL CHANGE IS NECESSARY. Whether this is an insidious premeditated plan carried out by the economic institutions of the world, or rather the logical consequence of capitalism gone awry, the fact that a MAJORITY of people are unhappy being exploited should lead to a reconsideration of global systems, so we can MAKE AS MANY CHANGES AS POSSIBLE: working with others to build social capital, community building from virtual communities into real ones, community ownership, self-sufficiency, teaching barter skills, implementing local currencies (that central authorities will no doubt tax eventually and shut them down). Dependency is Vulnerability. FLEXIBILITY OVERCOMES UNCERTAINTY. Diversify infrastructure and processes to overcome problems.
NO MONEY = NO RESOURCES. We can’t afford to preserve a defective model, but must build something new—AUTOMATIC EARTH –holding dysfunctional actors accountable to publicly controlled systems of justice and prosecuting criminals that break community controlled legal codes.
Affinity groups representing an oppositional cultural alliance can adopt bioregional plans, working to confront power and dismantle the core institutions of anxiety that are assaulting organic life systems. A debt-based monetary system ensures poverty. Let’s seek a dynamic equilibrium. Resist the Bancor.
Even as the Drug Enforcement Agency legalizes THC (the active ingredient in cannabis) in pharmaceutical companies’ pills, the plant from which these synthetic drugs are derived from remains criminalized. In fact, across the country, newly elected republican legislators are attempting to scale back medical marijuana laws, for instance in Montana–where medical programs where approved by 65%+ of voters–the state house went ahead and repealed those laws.
In Oregon too, at least 20 proposed bills are aimed at fundamentally dismantling the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program, one in particular attempting to bar those convicted of prior felonies from joining. Not exactly subtle, considering it is a felony to carry more than an ounce of cannabis at one time. Cannabis activists were out at the state capitol to protest. Of course, the pro-pot movement is not without its own supporters, with Doug Linkhart (Denver Mayoral Candidate), Willie Nelson (Singer/Songwriter and founder of the Teapot Party), and Jim Gray (retired Judge) all advocating for moving the plant into more legitimate standing. Considering initial studies are hinting that cannabis may cure cancer, it would seem likely that one small step to reducing healthcare costs might be to just “legalize it.”
After the successful liberation of Tunisia and Egypt, mass protests are spreading to Bahrain, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Iran, Yemen, Jordan, Algeria, Sudan, Italy, Albania…even Wisconsin? In light of the successful utilization of social media sites like Facebook and Twitter in these revolutions, the U.S. State Department has issued a statement regarding its promise to defend the openness of the Internet and other connection technologies: http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2011/02/156623.htm
While the initial revolution in Tunisia was set off when a young person set himself on fire after his only source of income, a street vending cart, was taken away from him by police, Wikileaks has been credited with opening the public’s eyes to the rampant corruption taking place through a series of leaked cables known as “Cablegate.” The hacktivist group Anonymous aided the Tunisian people, bringing down government pages and generally causing mayhem after officials tried to block access to secret-sharing website.
Protesters have for the most part been nonviolent even in the face of brutal repression from their governments, raising the question of why on earth America has spent so many billions of dollars and contributing so much death and destruction to bring democracy to Iraq when less than 10 years later civilian populations are in the process of liberating themselves.
