13 Apr 2020 – <\/em>I have previously explained how the COVID-19 infection is being used to frighten us into submitting powerlessly to the global elite\u2019s latest move to take much greater control of our lives and how those who can perceive this, and wish to resist it, can do so effectively. See \u2018Observing Elites Manipulate Our Fear: COVID-19, Propaganda and Knowledge\u2019<\/a> and \u2018Defending Humanity Against the Elite Coup\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In this article I want to document a sample of the rapidly increasing evidence of how this coup is taking shape and to reiterate a strategy for defeating it.<\/p>\n

The coup was designed to take immediate measures to ensure that fundamental rights and freedoms, only \u2018won\u2019 (in name at least) after many centuries of struggle, were stripped away from us and to do it in such a way that people would fearfully accept it.<\/strong> This is why the idea of a virus \u2018pandemic\u2019 was quite clever. Because the fear of contracting the virus (and its possibly deadly consequences) could be grotesquely magnified by inflating the figures, constant harping on it by the World Health Organization, the medical industry (in league with the pharmaceutical industry) and governments, and then magnified by the corporate media \u2013 with one outlet laughably suggesting COVID-19 could be worse than the flu outbreak in 1918 (falsely attributed to Spain): see \u2018COVID-19 has the potential to become as severe as the Spanish flu\u2019<\/a> \u2013 it made virtually all people submissive to any measure taken, or order given, ostensibly to prevent the spread of the virus.<\/p>\n

Fear manipulated by propaganda defeats knowledge and evidence every time, as history has endlessly demonstrated.<\/strong> Just ask Joseph Goebbels how they did it in Nazi Germany. Play on the fear, play on the fear\u2026.<\/p>\n

But if you are not too scared to seek out the evidence, you get an utterly different picture of what is taking place.<\/p>\n

So, for example, US physician Dr. Annie Bukacek observes that \u2018The real number of COVID-19 deaths are not what most people are told and what they then think. How many people actually died from COVID-19 is anyone\u2019s guess. \u2026 Based on inaccurate, incomplete data, people are being terrorized by fear-mongers into relinquishing freedoms.\u2019 See \u2018Montana physician Dr. Annie Bukacek discusses how COVID 19 death certificates are being manipulated\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you would like to read a wider sample of the literature and videos discussing how the infection and death rates from COVID-19 have been deliberately misinterpreted, inflated and presented in a way that induces fear, and hence willing submission to elite control, see the daily updates on \u2018A Swiss Doctor on Covid-19\u2019<\/a> and the articles\/videos \u2018Corona: creating the illusion of a pandemic through diagnostic tests\u2019<\/a>, \u201812 Experts Questioning the Coronavirus Panic\u2019<\/a>, \u2018Can We Trust the WHO?\u2019<\/a>, \u2018How deadly is the coronavirus? It\u2019s still far from clear\u2019<\/a>, \u2018Perspectives on the Pandemic II: A Conversation with Dr. Knut Wittkowski\u2019<\/a>, \u2018<\/a>Never Has So Little Done So Much Harm to So Many: The Latest Coronavirus Attack Is A Cover for Restricting Our Health Freedoms<\/a>\u2019<\/a>, \u2018Covid19 Death Figures \u201cA Substantial Over-Estimate\u201d\u2019<\/a>\u00a0 and \u2018Dr Scott Jensen Reveals \u201cRidiculous\u201d Covid19 Guidance\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As a result of this pandemic of fear<\/em><\/strong>, the human rights to privacy (Article 12), freedom of movement (Article 13.1) and freedom of assembly (Article 20.1), for example, which are enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights<\/a> proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 (but not necessarily legislated into law by individual countries and routinely violated by governments in any case) have now been publicly and completely eviscerated in one fell swoop with bans on gatherings, legal requirements for \u2018social distancing\u2019 and even greater surveillance of our private activities with barely a murmur of protest. For a comprehensive global summary, which monitors individual government responses to the pandemic that affect civic freedoms and human rights focusing on emergency laws, see the \u2018COVID-19 Civic Freedom Tracker\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Denied these fundamental rights, others \u2013 including those preventing arbitrary arrest or detention (Article 9), entitlement to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal in response to any criminal charge (Article 10), to make a living in the manner of our choosing (Article 23), to adequate healthcare irrespective of personal circumstances (Article 25.1) and to have some say in how we are governed (Article 21) \u2013 have, if they previously existed in practice, largely disappeared as many governments around the world have used a variety of illegal and sometimes unconstitutional measures \u2013 ranging from \u2018lockdowns\u2019 and curfews to martial law and suspensions of parliaments in favour of dictatorships \u2013 to usurp more complete control of national societies.<\/p>\n

For just a brief taste of what is taking place in some countries, see \u2018Denmark rushes through emergency coronavirus law\u2019<\/a>, \u2018DOJ seeks new emergency powers amid coronavirus pandemic\u2019<\/a>, \u2018F<\/a>or Autocrats, and Others, Coronavirus Is a Chance to Grab Even More Power\u2019<\/a>, \u2018Suspending the Constitution: Police State Uses Crises to Expand Its Lockdown Powers\u2019<\/a>, \u2018Hungary\u2019s Leader Grabbed Powers to Fight the Virus. Some Fear Other Motives\u2019<\/a>, \u2018Americans Beware: Trump Could Emulate Netanyahu\u2019s Coronavirus Coup\u2019<\/strong><\/a> and \u2018The Coronavirus State: New Zealand and Authoritarian Rumblings\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In addition, by deliberately crashing national economies it was easy to conceal the fact that they were on the brink of crashing anyway. In the words of Scott C. Tips: \u2018As the American and other economies falter from major structural problems, out-of-control debt, reckless spending, and government stupidity in shuttering businesses, the blame for markets crashing and economies tanking is borne by the conveniently available COVID-19 disease.\u2019 See \u2018<\/a>Never Has So Little Done So Much Harm to So Many: The Latest Coronavirus Attack Is A Cover for Restricting Our Health Freedoms<\/a>\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In this way, the elite has rapidly and vastly expanded the number of people who live a precarious economic existence, due to the exploitative functioning of the global economy \u2013 see \u2018Who Profits From the Pandemic?\u2019<\/a> \u2013 while also giving vast sums of money to wealthy corporations via government bailouts. See \u2018Trump Signs Corporate Bailout Bill: A Measure That Will Live in Infamy\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moreover, adverse outcomes from the use of COVID-19 to wreak this economic destruction will multiply rapidly but the underlying corporate dysfunctionality will now escape the blame from most observers just as COVID-19 will help to obscure the elite\u2019s true purpose in precipitating this crisis. See, for example, \u2018Coronavirus pandemic will inevitably cause food crisis\u2019<\/a>, \u201810 Signs the U.S. Is Heading for a Depression\u2019<\/a>, \u2018After the Lockdown: A Global Coronavirus Vaccination Program\u2026\u2019<\/a>, \u2018COVID-19. The Unspoken Truth. The Most Serious Global Crisis in Modern History\u2019<\/a>, \u2018The worst economic collapse ever?\u2019<\/a> and \u2018Coronavirus \u2013 The Aftermath. A Coming Mega-Depression\u2026\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But apart from these more obvious encroachments on our rights, freedoms and economic well-being, there is a vast range of encroachments happening either outside or on the periphery of public view, given the phenomenal corporate media attention focused on COVID-19 to distract us.<\/p>\n

Talking about US government surveillance in 2014, former Technical Director of the NSA, William \u2018Bill\u2019 Binney, explained that the NSA sought \u2018total population control\u2019. See \u2018<\/a>Whistleblower: NSA Goal Is \u201cTotal Population Control\u201d\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Six years later it is clear that the global elite is now making another push in its ongoing and longstanding effort to achieve total control. Will this be the final push?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As you consider this question, here is another small sample of those encroachments and devastating impacts that are happening while our attention is elsewhere:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The public acceptance of surveillance technology to spy on us in the interests of our \u2018health\u2019 is facilitating elite efforts to rapidly expand its monitoring capacities in this regard. See, for example, \u2018To <\/a>Track Coronavirus, Israel Moves to Tap Secret Trove of Cellphone Data\u2019<\/a> and \u2018For Autocrats, and Others, Coronavirus Is a Chance to Grab Even More Power\u2019<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. The deluge of propaganda is convincing us that compulsory vaccination will be necessary to ensure our \u2018health and well-being\u2019. However, apart from the conclusively and extensively documented harm from vaccinations \u2013 for one brief article just touching on this, see \u2018Vaccines and the Liberal Mind\u2019<\/a> \u2013 there is extensive evidence that any such vaccination program will be the trojan horse for implementing an electronic identification program that uses generalized vaccination as a platform for launching a scheme to give everyone \u2018a portable and persistent biometrically-linked digital identity\u2019. See \u2018The Coronavirus COVID-19 Pandemic: The Real Danger is \u201cAgenda ID2020\u201d\u2019<\/a>, \u2018After the Lockdown: A Global Coronavirus Vaccination Program\u2026\u2019<\/a>, \u2018Coronavirus: Biometric IDs could be \u201cgamechanger\u201d for tests, vaccines\u2019<\/a> and \u2018<\/a>COVID-19: Perfect Cover for Mandatory Biometric ID\u2019<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you think this is fairyland stuff, check out the website of the elite agents advocating it: \u2018The need for good digital ID is universal: The ability to prove who you are is a fundamental and universal human right. Because we live in a digital era, we need a trusted and reliable way to do that both in the physical world and online.\u2019 See \u2018The Need for Good Digital ID is Universal\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Without thinking too hard, I can list a few \u2018fundamental and universal human rights\u2019 that I would nominate before I got too excited about my digital identity. I wonder if these people are concerned about whether I have enough to eat, whether I am clothed and housed…. Of course, I know they have no interest in my privacy given that digital ID and the surveillance that goes with it will make that non-existent.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The deployment of the highly dangerous 5G which, under the guise of improving internet speed and capacity, will vastly expand everyone\u2019s exposure to electromagnetic radiation with its long list of seriously adverse health impacts. For a taste of the extensive documentation on this point, see the \u2018International Appeal to Stop 5G on Earth and in Space\u2019<\/a>.<\/li>\n
    2. A dramatic increase in the violence inflicted within the family home, especially by men and women against children \u2013 see \u2018<\/a>Why Violence?\u2019<\/a> \u2013 and by the more usually acknowledged men against women, during the lockdown. See \u2018<\/a>UN chief calls for domestic violence \u201cceasefire\u201d amid \u201chorrifying global surge\u201d<\/a>\u2019<\/a>.<\/li>\n
    3. Intensified efforts to overthrow governments in Iran and Venezuela. See \u2018COVID-19: Cover for Military Attack on Iran and Iraq? Trump ignores Iraqi demand US occupation forces leave the country\u2019<\/a>, \u2018Not letting Covid-19 crisis go to waste? US ramps up war on drugs\u2026 focusing on Venezuela\u2019s Maduro\u2019<\/a>, \u2018Trump sends gun boats to Venezuela while the world partners to fight a deadly pandemic\u2019<\/a> and \u2018NATO in Arms to \u201cFight Coronavirus\u201d\u2019<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The background framework to what is happening regarding Venezuela has been exposed by its President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro. See \u2018Letter from President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro to the People of the United States\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. No end<\/em> to the many ongoing wars involving the United States \u2013 see, for example, \u2018U.S. Confirms Deployment Of Patriot Missiles In Iraq. Iran Prepares For Conflict In Straight Of Hormuz\u2019<\/a> and \u2018US Empire Exploits COVID-19 For More War\u2019<\/a> \u2013 although a pause in some wars in which the US is not a party \u2013 for an overview, see \u2018UN Ceasefire Defines War As a Non-Essential Activity\u2019<\/a> \u2013 as a result of an appeal by the UN Secretary-General for warring nations to desist until the effort to contain COVID-19 is won. See \u2018The fury of the virus illustrates the folly of war\u2019<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Unfortunately, this appeal, unlike the Secretary-General\u2019s appeal for a ceasefire on domestic violence which attracted no significant public endorsement, quickly drew in many others equally devoid of any analysis of what is actually taking place and thus happy to help distract people from the core issue. See, for example, \u2018<\/a>COVID-19: Sign the Call for Global Ceasefire!<\/a>\u2019<\/a>, \u2018Global Ceasefire: Running List of Countries Committed\u2019<\/a> and \u2018Global Ceasefire Now!\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

        Obviously, I am heartily in favour of ending war. But this is only going to happen when we campaign strategically to do so and provided we have sufficient political freedom to do it<\/em><\/strong>. See \u2018<\/a>Strategic Aims\u2019<\/a> (for ending war).<\/p>\n

        As an aside and displaying its usual projected fear of threats, when some US military personnel became infected with COVID-19 \u2013 see \u2018Request for Assistance in Response to COVID-19 Pandemic\u2019<\/a> \u2013 the Pentagon issued a suppression order on further reporting of COVID-19 in the US military. See \u2018Pentagon orders all installations to stop reporting COVID-19 infections and deaths\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Ongoing economic sanctions by the United States directed against a variety of countries, notably including Iran and Venezuela, are complicating efforts to address COVID-19 effectively. In contrast, countries such as Cuba, China and Russia are leading the international effort to support other countries dealing with a higher level of infection. See \u2018US Continues Sanctions Against Venezuela And Cuba During COVID-19 Pandemic \u2013 Analysis\u2019<\/a> and \u2018Expert: US sanctions on Iran, Venezuela during pandemic could be genocidal\u2019<\/a>.<\/li>\n
        2. A variety of actions, including legal manoeuvres and false flag attacks, undertaken to inflict greater repression in some contexts, particularly against indigenous peoples and those engaged in national liberation struggles. See \u2018Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe Threatened with Land Disestablishment, Tribal Leaders Step in to Address Ongoing Land Issues and Threats to Sovereignty\u2019<\/a>, \u2018Media advisory notice on alleged shooting near Freeport mine in Timika\u2019<\/a> and \u2018During the Coronavirus crisis, Israel confiscates tents designated for clinic in the Northern West Bank\u2019<\/a>.<\/li>\n
        3. Dramatic increases in absolute impoverishment among marginalized individuals and communities throughout the Global South who barely survive day-to-day under their usual, difficult economic circumstances. As one Asian NGO network, engaged in attempting to secure emergency relief to assist those most adversely impacted, has just reported: \u2018We are receiving alarming reports that ADB and AIIB project-affected communities across Asia, especially South Asia and South East Asia are in an absolute state of crisis. Due to the enforced lockdown, they have no work or access to sanitizers and food supplies. Leaving them completely exposed and vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic. The state responses are slow and in some cases non-existent.\u2019 See \u2018COVID-19 Community Emergency Fund\u2019<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          And Arundhati Roy wrote an evocative account of how the Indian government\u2019s lockdown exposed the \u2018brutal, structural, social and economic inequality\u2019 in that country and the government\u2019s \u2018callous indifference to suffering\u2019 as the lockdown caused employers and landlords in cities and towns to drive out millions of impoverished, homeless and hungry workers to walk the hundreds of kilometres to their villages. Many have died along the way, but not of COVID-19. See \u2018Social Devastation and Despair. How Coronavirus Threatens India\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. No pause in the economic exploitation of countries in the Global South with, for example, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) quick to offer \u2018emergency finance\u2019 to some 80 of these countries that have requested it. See \u2018IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva\u2019s Statement Following a G20 Ministerial Call on the Coronavirus Emergency\u2019<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            What Ms. Georgieva didn\u2019t mention is that these loans will no doubt be done on the usual highly conditional and exploitative basis for which the IMF has built its reputation for destroying the lives of ordinary local people by opening the door for corrupt or naive governments to accept corporate exploitation of their people and natural resources while building unsustainable levels of national debt trying to pay back the loans and interest to the IMF. For more detail on how this exploitation works, see the many Global Justice Now<\/a> reports on the IMF and the book The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

            In contrast, World Bank President David Malpass was not so coy, clearly declaring that COVID-19 would be used to further exploit poorer countries by making any funding conditional on a willingness to make such exploitation easier in future: \u2018Countries will need to implement structural reforms to help shorten the time to recovery and create confidence that the recovery can be strong. For those countries that have excessive regulations, subsidies, licensing regimes, trade protection or litigiousness as obstacles, we will work with them to foster markets, choice and faster growth prospects during the recovery.\u2019 See \u2018Remarks by World Bank Group President David Malpass on G20 Finance Ministers Conference Call on COVID-19\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

            To reiterate: The World Bank will help existing heavily exploited countries with some funding for short-term health measures directed at containing COVID-19 provided the country removes laws that would make it difficult to exploit it indefinitely thereafter.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. No pause in environmentally destructive activities, ranging from the ongoing use of health-destroying poisons, such as glyphosate, used to contaminate our food \u2013 see \u2018Locked Down and Locking in the New Global Order\u2019<\/a> \u2013 which cause vastly more deaths than COVID-19 will cause, to the ongoing destruction of pristine rainforests to create, among other possibilities, more palm oil plantations. See \u2018New player starts clearing rainforest in world\u2019s biggest oil palm project\u2019<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              And while there has been a short-term reduced negative impact on the climate as a result of the slowdown in industrial activity and the use of fossil fuel-powered vehicles, the ongoing COVID-19 coup has been used to destroy whatever momentum has been achieved by the climate and environment movements in recent years.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. While COVID-19 is causing problems for the 100,000 skilled technicians responsible for controlling, maintaining and fuel loading\/unloading of the 96 remaining nuclear power plants in the USA, given the confined space in which the technicians work which make \u2018social distancing\u2019 virtually impossible, \u2018The industry is now using the Coronavirus Pandemic to rush through a wide range of deregulation demands. Among them is a move to allow radioactive waste to be dumped into municipal landfills.\u2019 See \u2018Terrified Atomic Workers Warn That the COVID-19 Pandemic May Threaten Nuclear Reactor Disaster\u2019<\/a>.<\/li>\n
              2. Long intent on dominating Space both militarily and industrially \u2013 see the US Space Command\u2019s \u2018Vision for 2020\u2019<\/a> \u2013 in violation of the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 which declared \u2018The exploration and use of outer space, including the moon and other celestial bodies, shall be carried out for the benefit and in the interests of all countries\u2026 and shall be the province of all mankind\u2019 \u2013 see \u2018Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies\u2019<\/a> \u2013 US president Trump has just signed an executive order to allow corporations and \u2018citizens\u2019 (that is, billionaires) to begin mining the moon. The elite also wants to use nuclear reactors to fuel spacecraft so they can mine Mars in the future. See \u2018Trump Signs Executive Order to Mine the Moon\u2019<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                If you are a US citizen and wondering how the \u2018largest industrial project in the history of the planet\u2019 will be financed, look in your own purse or wallet and wonder how much more will be taken from you so that, as usual, you pay the upfront costs associated with the vast profits they plan to make. Of course, you will also pay with budget cuts to health, education and social security funding.<\/p>\n

                The 13-point list above is actually very short \u2013 and confined to readily observable \u2018moves\u2019 \u2013 but, hopefully, it gives you some idea of what is taking place behind the elite\u2019s barrage of COVID-19 fear-mongering. Needless to say, it is the \u2018moves\u2019 that we do not know about that are, no doubt, even more troubling.<\/p>\n

                So what can we do in response to this fear-mongering and the coup it is being used to disguise?<\/p>\n

                Resisting the Elite Coup Powerfully<\/strong><\/p>\n

                I have previously outlined this nonviolent strategy, identifying its political purpose \u2013 obviously \u2018To defend humanity against a political\/military coup conducted by the global elite\u2019<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 and I have set out a basic list of 26 strategic goals, of which eleven are as follows:<\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. To cause people and groups all around the world to join the resistance strategy by wearing a global symbol of human solidarity, such as an image of several people of different genders\/races\/religions\/abilities\/classes holding hands.<\/li>\n
                2. To cause people and groups all around the world to join the resistance strategy by boycotting all corporate media outlets (television, radio, newspapers, Facebook, Twitter\u2026) and by seeking news from progressive news outlets committed to telling the truth.<\/li>\n
                3. To cause people and groups all around the world to join the resistance strategy by withdrawing all funds from the corporate banks that are supporting the coup and to deposit their money in local community banks or credit unions.<\/li>\n
                4. To cause people and groups all around the world to join the resistance strategy by boycotting the medical and pharmaceutical industries \u2013 including by conscientiously refusing to submit to vaccination \u2013 and by seeking health advice and treatment from natural therapists. (If you are unfamiliar with the different philosophies underpinning these approaches, and hence why many natural therapies are so much more effective, there is a straightforward explanation here: \u2018Pasteur vs. Bechamp: An Alternative View of Infectious Disease\u2019<\/a>.)<\/li>\n
                5. To cause people and groups all around the world to join the resistance strategy by boycotting corporate supermarkets and by supporting small and family businesses, and local markets.<\/li>\n
                6. To cause people and groups all around the world to join the resistance strategy by participating in other locally relevant nonviolent action(s)\/campaign(s) and\/or constructive program activities. For this item and many subsequent, see the list of possible nonviolent actions in the document \u2018198 Tactics of Nonviolent Action\u2019<\/a>.<\/li>\n
                7. To cause the workers [in trade unions or labor organizations T1, T2, T\u2026] all around the world to join the resistance strategy by participating in locally relevant nonviolent action(s)\/campaign(s) and\/or constructive program activities. For example, this might include withdrawing labor from an elite-controlled bank, media, pharmaceutical or other corporation operating in your country.<\/li>\n
                8. To cause the small farmers and farmworkers [in organizations F1, F2, F\u2026] all around the world to join the resistance strategy by participating in locally relevant nonviolent action(s)\/campaign(s) and\/or constructive program activities. For example, this might include distributing farm produce through (existing or created) grassroots networks to small and family businesses as well as local markets rather than through corporate supply chains.<\/li>\n
                9. To cause the indigenous peoples [in organizations IP1,IP2, IP\u2026] all around the world to join the resistance strategy by participating in locally relevant nonviolent action(s)\/campaign(s) and\/or constructive program activities. For example, this might include utilizing indigenous knowledge to improve local self-reliance in food production and in other ways.<\/li>\n
                10. To cause the soldiers and military police [in army units AU1, AU2, AU\u2026 and MP1, MP2, MP\u2026], wherever stationed around the world, to refuse to obey orders from the global elite and its agents to arrest, assault, torture and shoot nonviolent activists and the other citizens of [your country].<\/li>\n
                11. To cause the police [in police units P1, P2, P\u2026], wherever stationed around the world, to refuse to obey orders from the global elite and its agents to arrest, assault, torture and shoot nonviolent activists and the other citizens of [your country].<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  Rather than detail all 26 strategic goals here, you can read the \u2018Strategic goals for defeating a political\/military coup conducted by the global elite against humanity\u2019<\/em><\/strong> by scrolling down the page at \u2018Strategic <\/a>A<\/a>ims<\/a>\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

                  Remaining pages on the website fully explain the twelve components of the strategy, as illustrated by the Nonviolent Strategy Wheel<\/a>. These include the need to provide leadership and mutual aid at local levels, which are already happening in many places, as part of the overall effort.<\/p>\n

                  The website also has articles and videos explaining all of the vital points of strategy and tactics, including articles to help you understand \u2018Nonviolent Action: Why and How it Works\u2019<\/a>, the difference between \u2018The Political Objective and Strategic Goal of Nonviolent Actions\u2019<\/a> and how to prepare, frame and conduct any nonviolent action to minimize the risk of violent repression. See \u2018Nonviolent Action: Minimizing the Risk of Violent Repression\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

                  It is worth emphasizing that, in some contexts, there is a place for large public nonviolent actions for those who are inclined to plan and conduct them. And the article just referenced will assist you to conduct them with minimal risk of violent repression. However, because the bans on public gatherings are being implemented widely, I have concentrated on providing tactical options in the examples above that do not depend on gathering in one place.<\/p>\n

                  Nevertheless, as more people become aware of the coup and the energy to resist it gathers pace, it will be worthwhile to choose a locally significant date on which as many people who are willing to do so act to \u2018End the Lockdown\u2019 in that country. Using a locally relevant focus, or perhaps several, for which many people would traditionally be together \u2013 a cultural or sporting event, a community activity such as working to establish a community garden to increase local self-reliance, a birthday celebration and\/or a return to work \u2013 we can mobilize people to collectively resist the coup that is taking place. Because the actions taken will be dispersed with large numbers of people responding in a vast number of locations, it will be impossible for police and military forces to inflict violent repression against everyone, particularly if local organizers have implemented the points in \u2018Nonviolent Action: Minimizing the Risk of Violent Repression\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

                  Equally importantly to any of the points above, particularly given the pressing threat of human extinction \u2013 see \u2018Human Extinction Now Imminent and Inevitable? A Report on the State of Planet Earth\u2019<\/a> \u2013 but also because becoming more self-reliant is vital to our ongoing capacity to resist elite encroachments on our rights, freedom and economic security<\/em><\/strong>, consider joining those participating in \u2018<\/a>The Flame Tree Project to Save Life on Earth<\/a>\u2019<\/a>. This project also explains how to take full advantage of non-monetary forms of community where goods and services are exchanged directly, without money as a medium of exchange. Money only has value in certain types of economy and these types of economy must be superseded if humans are to survive.<\/p>\n

                  And given the enormous pressure on children at the moment, as their lives are upended, it would be useful to spend time listening to them. Of course, if you know an adult who is having trouble coping, it will help them enormously as well if you listen while giving them the opportunity to talk about, and focus on feeling, their own emotional reactions to what is taking place. See \u2018Nisteling: The Art of Deep Listening\u2019<\/a>. If you do not have anyone who can listen to you, try \u2018Putting Feelings First\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

                  Moreover, because the foundation of this entire elite-controlled world, and the coup it is now implementing, is the submissively obedient individual, the world can only be rebuilt as we might like it if we stop terrorizing children into being submissive. So I would start by parenting and educating children so that they become powerful. See \u2018My Promise to Children\u2019<\/a> and \u2018Do We Want School or Education?\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

                  In addition, if you would like to better understand the origin, identity and behaviour of the global elite and why it is insane, see the section headed \u2018How the World Works\u2019 in \u2018Why Activists Fail\u2019<\/a> and the articles \u2018Exposing the Giants: The Global Power Elite\u2019<\/a> and \u2018The Global Elite is Insane Revisited\u2019<\/a> and the many references cited in these documents. For a deeper understanding of why elite and other human violence is so pervasive, see \u2018<\/a>Why Violence?\u2019<\/a> and \u2018<\/a>Fearless Psychology and Fearful Psychology: Principles and Practice<\/a>\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

                  Finally, as touched on above, apart from the ongoing elite coup the Earth is under siege from our assaults on a vast range of fronts. See \u2018Human Extinction Now Imminent and Inevitable? A Report on the State of Planet Earth\u2019<\/a>. So if we are serious about tackling this crisis too, we must be willing to consider committing to:<\/p>\n

                  The Earth Pledge<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

                  Out of love for the Earth and all of its creatures, and my respect for their needs, from this day onwards I pledge that:<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

                    \n
                  1. I will listen deeply to children<\/em><\/strong> (see explanation above)<\/em><\/li>\n
                  2. I will not travel by plane<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n

                  4. I will not eat meat and fish<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n
                  5. I will only eat organically\/biodynamically grown food<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n
                  6. I will minimize the amount of fresh water I use, including by minimizing my ownership and use of electronic devices<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n
                  7. I will not buy rainforest timber<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n
                  8. I will not buy or use single-use plastic, such as bags, bottles, containers, cups and straws<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n
                  9. I will not use banks, superannuation (pension) funds or insurance companies that provide any service to corporations involved in fossil fuels, nuclear power and\/or weapons<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n
                  10. I will not accept employment from, or invest in, any organization that supports or participates in the exploitation of fellow human beings or profits from killing and\/or destruction of the biosphere<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n
                  11. I will not get news from the corporate media (mainstream newspapers, television, radio, Google, Facebook, Twitter\u2026)<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n
                  12. I will make the effort to learn a skill, such as food gardening or sewing, that makes me more self-reliant<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n
                  13. I will gently encourage my family and friends to consider signing this pledge.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

                    Given that the statistics clearly show that the COVID-19 \u2018pandemic\u2019 is already fading in most places where it previously had serious impact, it is possible that the global elite will not complete its execution of this coup against humanity in the near future. It will be content with the demonstration of its phenomenal power to manipulate populations into passively submitting to its bidding and defer its final putsch for a short time.<\/p>\n

                    If that is the case, the damage wrought by this socalled pandemic \u2013 on our rights, freedoms, economic security, opportunities, democratic governance, the global economy and the environment \u2013 will be irreparable and it would take many years to even restore a partial version of what we thought we had while knowing that they can be taken away, again, at any time just as they were on this occasion.<\/p>\n

                    But, quite frankly, if I was a member of the global elite and had witnessed the remarkably submissive manner in which even activists were deceived by the COVID-19 coup, I would advocate for completing the coup now and lock us down, force-vaccinate us with our own unique digital ID and surveillance chip, and promptly implement all of the measures necessary to take final control of the prison planet previously known as Earth.<\/p>\n

                    However, because I am not a member of the global elite, I will continue to draw attention to what is taking place and encourage people to resist in the strategic ways I have outlined above. And then do what I can to ensure that as many people as possible, who are powerful enough to do so, respond before it is too late.<\/strong><\/p>\n

                    I would rather act sooner, while we still have some room to move, rather than later, when we might have much less.<\/p>\n
