I am very happy to report I've either been doing or started recently doing over 75% of your list. I haven't watched the news in years. I've found my life has become much less stressful. I grow several herbs, I only shop local and the list goes on. Some things on your list are new ideas for me. Thank you for so much great information, ideas and advice!

It's good to hear that. I know that what I have done to "buck the system" isn't going to work for everyone and I also know that some people are so caught up in hopelessness that they don't think they can influence anything by doing something little. But, if we look at history, we can see how people standing up for what they believe and standing firm on principles can, quite literally, change the world. It's amazing how effective something as simple as telling a business owner that you will not longer spend money in their establishment can be. We've just forgotten that we really do have the power. But, if we don't exercise that power *right now* it's going to become nearly impossible to do so in the future without violence. Thanks for your input. :)

I'll have to say Rob D, I truly loved your post.

So much truth in the list you provided, for instance I have done some of these things on your list, and it has made my life easier to live and must comfortable.

I agree with you that we American's need to make a stand for easier living and prevent ourselves from stressing out over general BS, the so called government that is suppose to be doing good for American's instead of running for "office" and once that they are voted, they go back on their promises and look out for NO 1 themselves.

Great ideas, Rob. I especially want to start growing, at least some of my own food. I think about the "pandemic" in 2020 where the government decided which stores could stay open and I think what if they decided to shut down every store and people could only get food from government distribution centers. First, no telling what they would feed you and second, you would be depending on an agency that may not have your best interests in mind for your very survival.

I'll be taking this one on as a "must do".

Also looking forward to hearing what other people are doing.

A noble goal indeed Brian. And I completely agree with you on the "distribution centers." At this point, we can't put anything past these people. One only needs to look at the people who have bought up all of the farm land in the U.S. in the last few years to know that food is *definitely* on their radar. When the same people who have billions invested in "experimental vaccines" are the same people who are now invested in our food production we should, if nothing else, pay very close attention. Always good to see you here.

I don't have a particular "person" I follow regarding food/farming/growing food, but this guy does a great job of covering most things "food" related. He also has lots of past shows covering types of growing methods etc. You may or may not like his content: https://www.iceagefarmer.com/ (Warning, some people call him a conspiracy theorist, but I've found his content to be accurate every time I've checked. You will need to do your own research and decide for yourself). :)

I agree with you. And I'm not one of those "dutifully following" anything. I'm already doing most of what you name. It's called Non-Compliance. Yep, it's a good idea. All good ideas.

What you're leaving out of the equation, as far as I can see, is the fact that we are being bombarded with EMF's ALL THE TIME, there are mRNA bombs in our food, bottled water, being sprayed over us, and who knows where else. The plan is clearly to get more and more of the broadly administered G's, as in 3G, 4G, 5G, and coming soon, 6G, set up, put into the SKY, even. We can all go do all these things to remove ourselves from compliance, participation in local initiatives, and so forth, but I don't see how we can all escape radiation poisoning when it is used on us and against us. It's already in hospitals, schools, shopping areas, all over the place you can see with your own eyes the 5G towers. I have felt the effects while in my house. No one is immune to this.

I believe you to be a very good-hearted person, I like you. But I do wonder if you are not realizing the depth of EVIL we are facing... I think there's a point of departure from the idea, which I also believe in, strongly, of using our minds to affect change; I think sometimes we have to use our physicality as well, to directly cause problems for the attackers. And as I continue to say, repeatedly, because people continue to have an idea that there is only ONE form of action available to us, as in, violence, there are PLENTY of things we can do to muck up this plan. You've listed some of them, but I would include some actual oppositional action as well, and NOT by violence... Because we are on Substack I am not going to go into a lot of detail. History is a great provider of ideas of what can work... We could read about the French Resistance during WWII, for instance.

Hi Rob. I just found The Rumble Strip from your comment on Plebian resistance. You give a lot of terrific advice: how refreshing! I think your common sense approach, coupled with your kind encouragement, is what many people need right now. Thank you!

Thank you Perplexity. We can do this. We might not even change "the world". But we *can* change *our* world. If that makes sense. Every time we remove ourselves from one little part of the system that has had us boxed in for many many years now, we live a little bit freer. It changes our mindset. And that's where true liberty starts (in my opinion). It's within every one of us. We just have to believe it. And then practice it. (Liberty/freedom). Thanks again for stopping by!

Thank you sunhawk! Welcome. I don't claim to be a writer, but I do my best. I just write the way I speak and sometimes that might not be "accurate" as far as the rules go. :) I just wanted to feel like I was doing "something" if you know what I mean. I usually submit a post every Monday. I appreciate your kind words and as long as I am breathing I plan to do what I can to share pragmatic, common sense "stuff" that can, hopefully, contribute to the cause of liberty in our lifetime. See you soon!
