Interested. Following. My first thoughts are that it lies outside the political arena - and the problem lies far above politrix, since billionaires control that and almost everything else - media, banks, medicine, technology, military, the narratives, ETC. I think it needs to be more bottom up, grass roots, and busting the myths that we have anything democratic right now. We're in the matrix. First step is waking up enough to realize that. Mass awakening must replace mass psychosis. Then we can organize as loosely and organically as possible - anarchy doesn't have to mean violent chaos.

P R E A C H.

There’s quite a few of us performing an honest update and reassessment of the current hour and working the clay of new ideas to sculpt a model of how we might all choose to move onward together into a safe, prosperous and productive future.

Looking forward to seeing what you have in mind.

I'm interested to see how this develops along side my thoughts/writings on the Polity.

Cheers and Godspeed!

I look forward to Nuevo Monroe. I’ve always maintained the smart ones got out of the Old World years ago and only dipshits remained.

Or those that were barred from entry and/or couldn’t afford a ticket so took a ferry to where they could. Dipshits ? I presume you know what a coffin ship was.

Do those that didn’t survive the trip fall into that category?

No. We can’t help the dead. We can only make sure their sacrifice wasn’t in vain.

At the end of the day, at a certain stage everyone in America made a one way trip.

Irish. Have lots of relatives long since gone and settled in the US. I loved the States but couldn’t stay. Tried to get back legitimately. It didn’t work out, and life had other plans for me I’ll read all you have to say, as I have a keen interest in all of the goings on in your fine country. Love the people. Not so keen on the last few decades of government.

Write on, Sir.

I could not love what you said here more and it's just so freaking true.

"To those living outside the Western Hemisphere in the Old World, I will speak bluntly. I believe you have little to say to us and in fact are the source of what ails us now. You are welcome to read, you are welcome to respectfully comment, but know that you are intruding on an intimate family meeting in a time of great crisis. If you insist on looking in the house through the window? Mind your manners and know your place."

Bravo dude.

Since the wealth and power of U.S. of A. has greatly affected the internal affairs of numerous nations outside the Western Hemisphere, and can arguably be the source of what ails them now, they have every right to speak. Just as we should speak and try to understand our imagined enemies inside our continental border, the same goes internationally.

They can speak, but they’re not my audience at this time. My Substack, my rules.

As your title suggests, the sentiment of the Monroe Doctrine. Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Its the not the Destination, It's the journey.” A personal axiom, if you want to know where you are today, look at what you did yesterday. If you want to know where you will be tomorrow, understand what what you are doing today. I am enjoying the journey with you.

One notion I keep kicking around in my head is the idea that America, like space, is too damn big.

And so its people spread out to occupy it not only literally, but figuratively and perhaps mythically as well.

Personalities to suit the land that gave us birth and purchase in life.

Yeah. I suspect in the long term there will be some kind of federal level break up. At some stage, someone will want to get to the band back together.

I think that might be my ultimate audience - whoever takes up the dream and forges a new, stronger United States.

I'd love to see all of North America under that umbrella. South America too would be incredible.

The stars won't stand a chance.

They can speak up or not. Anon is a thing too.

I’m not endangering anyone.
