In the next twelve months, the US will be reduced to third world economic status. The objective is amassing all available wealth in the US in the hands of an elite group. It has to do with creating conditions which sucker the masses into dreaming of grand material wealth, then make them believe it can be achieved. Create conditions which actually delivers to a small group, while making it appear that small group is just a collection of ordinary Joes and Janes who figured it out. Get them to follow the lies, inflate the economy, scrape off the wealth, which will crash it all. Then, while everyone is in a dependency panic, crush them under tight controls, and start the cycle all over again.
The only way out of the cycle, of course, is to stop chasing grand wealth, and accept the reasonable prosperity God intended under the Covenant of Noah. The only way to get that is cling to the Covenant. Aside from long term philosophical considerations, that means committing yourself to forming your tribe. While ANE feudalism is a matter of academic interest, you have to find an entry point to begin moving that way.
The first and most obvious step is your irrevocable commitment. If you are determined to form a covenant tribe, your success will become the gift God supplies. You need not succeed in all particulars for this to work. You must simply seize the desire itself. It can begin with a single household, just a couple. Determine in your heart (the seat of the will) you are going to obey the Covenant.
This need not involve researching what it means to be an “alpha male” — that requires competition within the community, which is hardly a good thing. Competition requires rules which will not fit well under Noah. The tribal leader is always the one who seems to sense what God requires, and can persuade the group with love and influence while keeping the peace. In other words, it’s the father figure. It’s not about mere charisma. It is never of necessity the eldest, but an elder.
It’s really simple until your community reaches about a dozen. Suddenly, everything changes, though it might be hard to put that in words. At about 20 members, you have some hope of being very effective in the objective itself: self-sufficiency. At 50, you must break it off into separate households at a minimum, with elders closer to the people they lead. At 75, no one man can possibly do it without the worst brand of favoritism. These are thresholds you can learn from other sources.
The point was to note the objective is pulling back from outside government. You probably can’t fully accomplish that with less than 20, but you can aim for it, work toward it. God’s government is by close relative, patriarchal and based on common necessity. That shared necessity fades above 50, simply by the factors of human nature. Nor is it a question of high competence. It’s a question of whom God chose. We in the West approach that very, very poorly. It’s a good idea to start with the oldest man still in full control of his faculties.
Once a tribe starts in that direction, God will intervene to make it obvious who is best for what, but more importantly, will see to it your best is actually good enough to please Him. He takes a personal interest in folks who want to please Him, even if only at the worldly level.
Here’s what you need to know right now: Just decide you will start today. You can’t possibly control all the factors which affect your execution, only what’s inside you. If you aren’t the leader, give your loyalty to God by giving it through your leader, those things which God says are the leader’s concerns. Keep civility in negotiations, because most of your time will be spent in renegotiating every day. That’s the nature of the beast, as it were, until some things become settled. The leader does not control, but negotiates consensus. Again, and again, and again, until certain elements of life can be made routine, but all things remain flexible because humans are flexible by nature. Patience, never arrogance. You should already know all that. Just do it.
By all means, the one thing non-negotiable is the need to minimize dependence on outside sources. That is never absolute, and some flexibility appears here, too. The underlying principle is not flexible. The more you surrender to the outside, the more exposure you have to harm. Make peace with the peaceable; seek ways to disengage every one else. This does not mean a last stand like Masada, but so much as the leaders in clear conscience before God are willing to do.
The very foundation, of course, is the commitment to be free under God’s terms. Everyone serves someone, but by choosing the Covenant of Noah, you cannot possibly be more free.
