Chapter 2.17
A Leaderless Nation, 2

I am not unmindful of the fact that I am writing about creating a leaderless nation during the very days when the people of the United States are undergoing (what appears to be, from a conventional analysis at very least) one of the most monumental elections in its history. I did not plan the timing to work out this way, but I am intrigued by the fact that it did. It seems a strange sort of kismet.

In that conventional analysis, a re-elected Donald Trump is supposed to rescue us from the tyranny under which we currently languish. This time, we hope, he truly will “drain the swamp” of its many slithering deep-state creatures. He will, we pray, cut a few of the globalist tentacles that we fear (but can never fully prove) are actually pulling our levers behind the scenes.

That same analysis tells us that an invigorated smaller unit of government can be an important bulwark against the tyranny of a larger one. And to an extent, this is so.

Some U.S. states, for example, are attempting to pass laws against weather modification in their airspace. (The federal government will just go ahead and do it anyway, but it might provide some obstacles—especially if it raises awareness and catches on.) Hungary has managed to resist the encroachments of the EU. Several U.S. states, and various countries, were somewhat more resistant to Covid tyranny. In theory, the concept can work.

In theory.

For a long time (in my more conventional days), I was a strong believer in subsidiarity—in the notion that each unit of society has its proper purview, and that nothing should ever been done by a higher unit that can be competently done by a lower one.

The concept also cuts both ways: A central government should not concern itself with trash collection, and a local government should not concern itself with conducting foreign policy or signing treaties. And, needless to say, neither ought to interfere with whether a family chooses to go to Orlando or Cape Cod for vacation, or whom you choose to marry or what you have for dinner. It is the idea is that every “sphere” of human life ought to be sovereign within that sphere.¹ (We have already demonstrated, in rather extensive detail, that all forms of involuntary governance are morally impermissible, but we are setting that aside temporarily for purposes of this discussion.)

At the core of the subsidiarity concept is the understanding that, generally speaking, local is better. Local government, in theory at least, is more responsive and accountable. You can meet your local representatives and look them in the eye. They are your neighbors. The barriers to participation in local politics are much smaller.

At one level of analysis, all of this is true. But that truth only goes so far. Smaller units of government can be just as venal and oppressive as larger ones. A single family can run a town council to their benefit and everyone else’s detriment. States and other regional units of government can pass laws that are even more tyrannical than those imposed by the central authority above them.

And indeed, this is just what we tend to see. More often than not, power works in cahoots with power…

In the United States, for example, the federal government has passed laws which make it profitable for state-based child protective services to quite literally kidnap children. Hardly a ringing endorsement for the notion that lower units of government will protect us from higher ones.

In the ‘brochure’ description, governments are supposed to ‘keep big corporations in check.’ And sadly, people believe they do. In reality, governments tend to collaborate with big corporations—giving them certain benefits and protections, and receiving their own benefits in return.

Governments are also the vehicle through which corporations are able to gain coercive power over us. It is only through government, for example, that we can be coerced into taking their vaccines. And it is only through government that we can be forced to pay for it (through taxation and inflation)—creating hundreds of new pharma billionaires in the process. Without government protections; limitations on shareholder liability; corporate personhood; regulatory capture; and grants, loans, and bailouts at our expense; corporations’ only real pathway to wealth is to offer desirable goods and services at a fair price.

And then there is the fact that most national governments are not only not resisting the global agenda; they are going right along with it. Why is it that people like Justin Trudeau and Jacinda Ardern appear to be little more than Klaus Schwab’s local imperial governors? Why does the immigration policy of almost every national government in the West follow the same pattern—one that is clearly not in the interest of anyone in the actual countries in question? At this point, national governments appear to be little more than the vectors by which global powers impose their edicts upon us.

Yes, a smaller unit of government can resist a larger one. But that tends to be the exception. Collaboration or capture tend to be the rule.

(Setting aside, pro tem, the general moral impermissibility of involuntary governance…)

• If you are holding your breath, waiting for a smaller government to save you from a larger one…or a national government to save you from a cabal of globalist ideologues and billionaire weirdos…you are going to be waiting a long time.

• If you are holding out hope that you will be able to use elections to install the right leaders, who will impose policies that will save us, you are hoping against the evidence of history. There is little realistic chance of taking control of national governments to the degree necessary to make any effective and durable change.

Indeed, apropos of this, we can take a very important lesson from a disturbing fact…

During Covid, a few national leaders decided to buck the global trend and resist forcing the vaccine upon their populations. Then, a statistically improbable number of those same national leaders just happened to drop dead. To borrow from Sherlock Holmes—the odds against that having been a coincidence are enormous.

As discussed previously, a single leader provides a single point of failure. But a single leader also provides something else: a single target.

One head to lop off. One person to arrest or ‘suicide.’ One person to be the subject of some incriminating and ruinous deep-fake. A nation or organization that is dependent upon a single leader can be thrown into chaos, or completely destroyed, by the destruction of that leader.

Do you want to win this thing? Really win it, for us and for generations yet unborn?

If so, then resistance to tyranny cannot be fixed at the level of some national government or some great leader. Resistance must take place at the species level.

We cannot wait to be saved. We cannot wait for a savior. We must change who we are and how we think. We will not be able to take everyone with us, but we must awaken all we can.

Our plight is now shared across national boundaries. It is psychotic elites vs. the rest of us. We must reject them, and the governments they use to impose their will upon us. We must make connections with each other, species-wide, across the globe.

Resistance does not mean bloody revolution. That is the old way.² We are charting a new course.

Of course, governments depend on up for their sustenance, and psychos want us to keep us as herd animals, so they’re not going to just let us go. No matter how peaceful we are, they will always be jealous, grasping, and afraid.

As such, we must be decentralized. We cannot be located in a single place, with a single head to lop off. We must be everywhere…and nowhere. Everyone…and no one.

We must all be leaders. We must none of us be leaders.

One tree, no matter how strong, is no match for an axe. But that same axe is no match for strong trees in every forest in every corner of the globe.

Help me keep this rolling! I really cannot do it without you.

1. This, indeed, is why the Protestants call their variant of this concept “sphere sovereignty .” (Subsidiarity is originally a Catholic term.)

2. We will discuss this at length in an upcoming chapter.
