Those who understand it best refer to the “Committee of One” — you don’t have to organize to be effective in resisting evil government.
Forget parties and the typical definitions of liberal and conservative, since it is all artificial. What you see in the mainstream information outlets is entirely fake, never mind how ardently such a vast horde of people truly believe. If you don’t think the system here in the US, and in the West generally, is completely broken, then I have nothing to say to you. For the rest, you already know we are moving in a very, very bad direction. Official government itself, regardless of what it may have been in the past, has now become inherently evil. It does far more harm than good, and honest people — yes, even Ron Paul — are corrupted by being involved. (Ron Paul’s decisions did not reflect the will of the people, nor their best interest, and allowed the perverted campaign to continue unchallenged. That’s irresponsible. That’s politics.) The whole thing is implacably the foe of humanity.
So an honest conscience requires resistance. It’s inevitable. Naturally, there is a wide range of resistance open to you, starting with the simple passive refusal to participate in the evil government demands. If you simply go along, you aren’t fully human. Even if your methods are altogether furtive, waiting for the right time to escape, it’s still resistance. When you operate on the principle of Committee of One (Co1) you get to choose. That there will be widespread resistance is inevitable, and all resistance is, if not good, at least different from the evils of government. We will focus on principled resistance for this discussion, since the crooks have a totally different ethos for all this.
It does help if the many Co1s are operating from the same basic principles, but I think that’s too much to hope, not realistic. However, the mere act of resistance alone is at least temporarily an alliance with your Co1. The choices open to you remain flexible, both in fundamental orientation and in choices you make to answer surprises. Don’t pretend for now there is any hope of restoring anything we may or may not have had in the past. It’s gone forever. We’ll have to start from scratch. Go ahead and dream, but try not to become too wrapped up in it, because you probably can’t imagine what it will be like down the road.
Then again, if all you do is react to the immediate challenges, you’ll probably end up in quite a mess. If that’s okay with you, then at least you know. In my own case, I don’t expect anything in particular except trouble of some sort. It’s just too obvious things I cannot do will be demanded of me all too soon. I’d rather not get involved in bloodshed, or even mild roughing up of other humans. I may escape that entirely, particularly if the resistance is truly wide and deep, or more precisely, wide spread and based on deep commitments. TPTB in their evil hold a lot of cards we cannot see. There will be advantageous leaks, and I insist it is right and proper to pray the cover be torn off everything. Still, there is a certain layer of evil at work none of us can imagine. So for someone like me who has actually served that evil as an enforcer in times past, while little will surprise me in the sense of cynicism, it’s hardly impossible to catch me off guard. Understand this: A very key element in government evil is the unjustified secrecy over things which would easily justify lynching every one of the officials. I’ve seen a huge number of government and corporate secrets, and every one of them was a matter of covering up someone’s sins. It was never a matter of denying the enemy operational intel.
So we know there will be some real surprises, because evil can also be intelligent and resourceful. Back off a moment and see yourself as part of the whole scene. Chances are very favorable you’ll get hurt regardless of how you act. Most of us will get hurt more than once, and in different ways. A few of us will surely die unnaturally in the next few years. The proportions will vary with geography — cities will be more dangerous, coastal conurbations most dangerous of all. A uniformity of threat is impossible, since this involves real humans, evil though they may be on various levels. Some will not be able to go through with it, and in various ways bail out on the process. Let me warn you the folks in government who are most religious will dominate the extremes, while less religious folks will take up the middle range of things in having a conscience. You have to understand this in terms of deeply held convictions, not whether they belong to any religious institutions, though the overlap is huge. So the one thing you can expect is the unexpected.
The only preparation which really counts is knowing yourself. There are some things which only circumstance can reveal, but the more you know about your own deeply held convictions, not just what you hope they are, the more likely you can make full use of those quiet moments when your actions can be shaped in deliberation. At some point in the game, every moment will see a change in expectations. You’ll be cut off from all the previous inputs by which you guided your life, and you’ll have only what’s inside, responding to the immediate context. At some points, probably in most points, your guesses will be wrong, but things may well work out in spite of that. Or it simply won’t make a bit of difference. Be ready for that. The one and only hope you have for any kind of peace and safety is not the external kind, but the kind which means you didn’t catch yourself compromising because someone or something suckered you.
And they will surely try. Remember that G20 business in Canada? The alternative press was full of stories about false-flag police provocateurs. When big things go wrong in big ways in the near future, consider Toronto a dress rehearsal. We’ve seen it elsewhere in the past, but this time the activists were ready and caught a lot of good photos and videos of it. This is the primary reason organizing is a mistake. Anything organized is a target for subversion by the state. The longer and more involved it is, the more certain it will happen. A critical element in mysticism is not trusting yourself, much less anyone else. It doesn’t require hostility, nor even direct assertive resistance, but simply the assurance of human failure at the worst possible moment. So even if the state does not plant a mole, someone in any group of two or more is vulnerable to bailing out, and it may be you. By not organizing, you guard yourself from failure of others, and guard others from your own failings. If all you do is mess things up for yourself, you can keep a clear conscience.
Don’t fool yourself into thinking results matter. That’s a Western materialist obsession, part of what got us into this mess. There is no measurable objective which can hold all the variables. This is not about dreams of a brighter tomorrow, a better world, because that is utterly impossible. It never was, nor ever will be. The only thing that can ever matter is being true to your best self in the process. The results will always be purely a matter of God’s sovereign will.
That’s the whole point behind resisting. I can’t tell you how much and what kind of resistance is right. That’s between you and God. Even if I tell you I’m a pacifist, that doesn’t mean God can’t ever move me to harm another human for some divine purpose I can’t imagine. It’s altogether unlikely, but I do know a lot about weapons of all sorts, and I’m physically large, and currently working out quite regularly. I want the Spirit of God to have full access to me as an asset. My current expectation is to review all I’ve learned about escape and evasion. That is actually more work than fighting. I don’t like seeing people suffer, and I’ve seen plenty of it people hurting to know for sure how I feel about it. Whether fighting or fleeing, it has to fit my sense of what causes the least suffering for all involved.
That there will be more suffering is beyond question. Whatever we might have done at some time in the past, it’s too late to fix what exists. It’s going to be very messy, very soon. God help us.
