If you lack the inclination or courage to do the research to understand the nature and depth of this crisis and/or to join the struggle to resist the elite takeover of our world, you are encouraged to support those who do have the inclination and courage.
by Robert J. Burrowes
In a recent article I reported existing evidence on
the way in which COVID-19 is being used to implement, but also divert attention
from, initiatives being taken by the global elite to consolidate and expand its
power in significant ways, and perhaps to make the final drive to take total
control of global society. See ‘Observing Elites Manipulate
Our Fear: COVID-19, Propaganda and Knowledge’.
Moreover, while global attention is focused on
COVID-19, attention has been distracted from the many other ongoing crises – particularly
including the vast range of threats that constitute an imminent danger to human
existence: see ‘Human Extinction Now
Imminent and Inevitable? A Report on the State of Planet Earth’ – and no doubt other undesirable initiatives being
carried out by the global elite outside our view. In addition, activism has
been stymied as activists are either themselves distracted by COVID-19 or
hindered by the measures (such as ‘social distancing’ and bans on public
gatherings) introduced to supposedly deal with it.
Before and since writing ‘Observing Elites Manipulate
Our Fear’, more evidence has been published pointing at an elite coup with
governments around the world introducing draconian measures severely curtailing
human rights and freedoms (including those involving the internet) and
destroying national economies.
For just a taste of this literature and these videos,
see ‘The “Lock Step” Simulation
Scenario: “A Coronavirus-like Pandemic that Becomes Trigger for Police State
Controls”’, ‘The EARN IT Bill is the
Government’s Plan to Scan Every Message Online’, ‘What more could he do? A

Manufactured COVID-19 “Health Crisis” Pushes Humanity, Global Society to Total Shutdown’, ‘COVID-19 – The Fight for a
Cure: One Gigantic Western Pharma Rip-Off’, ‘Police State Uses Crises to
Expand Its Lockdown Powers: Suspending the Constitution’, ‘Whither Coronavirus? When
Will It End and What Will Happen Along the Way’, ‘Covid-19: The Panic Is Worse
Than the Pathogen’ and ‘Rockefeller Blueprint For
Police State Triggered By Pandemic Exposed’ which cites the Rockefeller Foundation’s 2010
document ‘Scenarios for the Future of
Technology and International Development’ with its prescient description of what is taking
place now: ‘LOCK STEP – A world of tighter top-down government control and more
authoritarian leadership, with limited innovation and growing citizen
pushback.’
As Helen Buyniski notes, using the example of the US
Patriot Act, passed by Congress a short time after the 9/11 false flag event
that destroyed World Trade Center buildings 1, 2 and 7 in New York: ‘They
always declare a state of emergency, they never undeclare the state of
emergency or repeal any of the emergency measures.’ See ‘Rockefeller Blueprint For
Police State Triggered By Pandemic Exposed’. In any case, with the corporate media endlessly
promoting panic, most people prefer to be ‘saved’ by having even more severe
restrictions placed on their freedom. See ‘As Trump Eyes Restarting
Economy, Nearly 3 in 4 Voters Support National Quarantine’.
In this article I would like to outline a strategic
response to prevent this takeover before we find ourselves moving from a
version of the dystopian society described in the novel Brave New World
to that outlined in the novel 1984 that many of us read as students. We
might have been happy with the drugs but Big Brother is now poised with the
sword held high above our necks.
‘It won’t happen’, you might say. And perhaps you are
right. But my own long and extensive study of the global elite revealing the
progressive manner in which it is endlessly consolidating and expanding its
power is also matched by others who share my interest in this subject. So I
invite you to consider the evidence presented above with the hope that we can
mobilize a sufficient response from the wider population to avoid this being
the final move in the elite’s strategy to take total control of our lives.
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 ‘How the World Works’ in ‘Why Activists Fail’ and the articles ‘Exposing the Giants: The
Global Power Elite’ and ‘The Global Elite is
Insane Revisited’ and the many
references cited in these documents. For a deeper understanding of why elite
and other human violence is so pervasive, see ‘Why Violence?’ and
‘Fearless
Psychology and Fearful Psychology: Principles and Practice’.
Moreover, to highlight brief excerpts from three of
the scholars cited above, the distinguished and award-winning author and
geopolitical analyst Professor Michel Chossudovsky states: ‘The tendency is towards
a Worldwide lockdown spearheaded by fear and media disinformation. Currently,
hundreds of millions of people Worldwide are under lockdown…. This is an act of
“economic warfare” against humanity.’ See ‘After the Lockdown: A Global
Coronavirus Vaccination Program…’.
In the view of economist and geopolitical analyst
Peter Koenig, who spent more than 30 years working for the World Bank and the
World Health Organization: ‘We are moving towards a totalitarian state of the
world…. [which includes ID2020]. What is the infamous ID2020? It is an alliance
of public-private partners, including UN agencies and civil society. It’s an
electronic ID program that uses generalized vaccination as a platform for
digital identity. The program harnesses existing birth registration and
vaccination operations to provide newborns with a portable and persistent
biometrically-linked digital identity…. Population reduction is among the goals
of the elite within the WEF, the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Morgans – and a few
more. The objective: fewer people (a small elite) can live longer and better
with the reduced and limited resources Mother Earth is generously offering.’
See ‘The Coronavirus COVID-19
Pandemic: The Real Danger is “Agenda ID2020”’.
And here is the assessment of what COVID-19 means to
John W. Whitehead, US Constitutional attorney and author of Battlefield America: The
War On the American People:
This coronavirus epidemic, which has brought China’s
Orwellian surveillance out of the shadows and caused Italy to declare a
nationwide lockdown, threatens to bring the American Police State out into the
open on a scale we’ve not seen before.
If and when a nationwide lockdown finally hits – if
and when we are forced to shelter in place – if and when militarized police are
patrolling the streets – if and when security checkpoints have been established
– if and when the media’s ability to broadcast the news has been curtailed by
government censors – if and when public systems of communication (phone lines,
internet, text messaging, etc.) have been restricted – if and when those FEMA
camps the government has been surreptitiously building finally get used as
quarantine detention centers for American citizens – if and when military
“snatch and grab” teams are deployed on local, state, and federal levels as
part of the activated Continuity of Government plans to isolate anyone
suspected of being infected with COVID-19 – and if and when martial law is
enacted with little real outcry or resistance from the public – then we will
truly understand the extent to which the government has fully succeeded in
recalibrating our general distaste for anything that smacks too overtly of
tyranny. See ‘This Is a Test: How Will the
Constitution Fare During a Nationwide Lockdown?’
But envisaging such a dystopian future would not be
complete without the Pentagon’s take on how it might turn out, with this
graphic video describing a future in which citizens, with rights, no longer
exist. See ‘Pentagon Video Warns of
“Unavoidable” Dystopian Future for World’s Biggest Cities’.
The path on which we are traveling ends with our
confinement in ghettos, locked down in one area of the elite’s totalitarian
police state, or death.
I am one of those who intends to fight to the end to
get us off this path to tyranny.
Fighting for our Humanity
And that is why the primary purpose of this article is
to identify the components of a comprehensive nonviolent strategy to defeat a
coup attempt conducted by the global elite against humanity.
What does a nonviolent strategy entail? In essence, it
works by strategically altering the will or undermining the power of the global
elite to repress, exploit or kill us. While the global elite is our ultimate
target, we can more immediately impact this elite by targeting its agents
including governments, the corporate media, the medical and pharmaceutical
industries, retail corporations, the banking industry as well as its military
and police forces. Hence, from a strategic perspective, it is imperative that
we noncooperate with these institutions and corporations in ways that have
strategic (not simply tokenistic) impact. This means that our nonviolent
actions – which will involve some risk but without requiring effort that
overwhelms us – will both consolidate and build our capacity to resist, while
also functionally altering the will or undermining the power of key
institutions and corporations to control us.
Here are five examples:
First, if we seek out news from progressive news
sources – such as the site on which you are reading this article – that are
committed to giving us accurate information about what is taking place, while
boycotting corporate media outlets (television, radio, newspapers, Facebook,
Twitter…) which are essentially peddling a combination of propaganda and fear
in order to scare us into submitting to (or even asking for) greater government
control (lockdowns, martial law), then we will reallocate power in society away
from a key elite instrument that is being used to manipulate and control us.
Second, given the power of the medical and
pharmaceutical industries, which are peddling fear and profit-making drugs, it
is important to seek out advice and remedies offered by natural health
practitioners who will prescribe dietary measures and nutritional supplements
to prevent and/or treat any infection. Given the push for compulsory
vaccination which has serious social control implications and entails a high
risk of adverse health consequences – see, for example, ‘COVID-19 – The Fight for a
Cure: One Gigantic Western Pharma Rip-Off’, ‘The National Plan to
Vaccinate Every American’ and ‘A Serious Warning about the
Toxicity of Aluminum-Adjuvanted Vaccines – Especially for Infants and the
Elderly’ – it is particularly
important that we resist this.
Third, the propaganda campaign is destroying small and
family businesses which will consolidate the power of large corporate
chainstores. We need to support the smaller and family businesses wherever we
can and boycott the elite’s corporate stores.
Fourth, the major banks are participating in this
coup, particularly by supporting efforts to force all monetary exchange to
occur via electronic means rather than cash. Under the guise of helping to halt
the spread of the infection, cash is being refused as a means of payment in an
increasing number of outlets and contexts. As soon as possible, we need to
transfer all of our banking to small, community-owned banks and credit unions
that act in the interests of their members and not the corporations and the
elite.
Fifth, the elite must use the police, military forces
and security personnel to enforce its laws in relation to lockdown, martial law
and whatever else unfolds as this crisis deepens. These individuals live in our
communities; they are part of us even if the elite controls their behaviour
during their employment hours. Engaging with these people, listening to them
carefully, will open space for them to reconsider their own involvement in what
is taking place. In the end they are on our side; they just don’t know it yet.
So you are probably starting to get the idea:
Collectively, we have enormous power if we deploy it to defend what we want to
preserve while undermining the power of those who wish to exploit us. There are
7.8 billion of us and few of them. Their power is an outcome of institutions
they control; we can change that, as I explain more fully below.
One other point worth mentioning first, however, is
this: So that we can identify those who choose to be part of the resistance, it
will be useful to have a symbol that represents our human solidarity: we are
all in this together. My own suggestion is that any image that shows several
people of different genders/races/religions/abilities/classes holding hands or
just being close together represents this solidarity. Of course, the elite
might start using this symbol in an attempt to co-opt it. This doesn’t matter.
The point, of course, is that it is our behaviour that
defines our allegiance, not the symbol itself. While the elite is encouraging our separation (‘social
distancing’) it has always been physical closeness that is the essence of human
solidarity. Let our symbol represent that.
The Strategy in More Detail
I have outlined this nonviolent strategy, identifying
its political purpose – obviously ‘To defend humanity against a
political/military coup conducted by the global elite’ – and I have set
out a basic list of 26 strategic goals, of which eleven are as follows:
(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.
(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…) and by seeking news from progressive
news outlets committed to telling the truth.
(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.
(4) To cause people and groups all around the world to
join the resistance strategy by boycotting the medical and pharmaceutical
industries – including by conscientiously refusing to submit to vaccination –
and by seeking health advice and treatment from natural therapists.
(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.
(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 ‘198 Tactics of Nonviolent
Action’.
(7) To cause the workers [in trade unions or labor
organizations T1, T2, T…] 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.
(8) To cause the small farmers and farmworkers [in
organizations F1, F2, F…] 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.
(9) To cause the indigenous peoples [in organizations
IP1,IP2, IP…] 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.
(10) To cause the soldiers and military police [in
army units AU1, AU2, AU… and MP1, MP2, MP…], 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].
(11) To cause the police [in police units P1, P2, P…],
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].
Rather than detail all 26 strategic goals here, you
can read the ‘Strategic goals for defeating a political/military coup
conducted by the global elite against humanity’ by scrolling down the
page at ‘Strategic Aims’.
Remaining pages on the website fully explain the
twelve components of the strategy, as illustrated by the Nonviolent Strategy Wheel. 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.
The website also has articles and videos explaining
all of the vital points of strategy and tactics, including articles to help you
understand ‘Nonviolent Action: Why and
How it Works’, the difference
between ‘The Political Objective and
Strategic Goal of Nonviolent Actions’ and how to prepare, frame and conduct any nonviolent action to
minimize the risk of violent repression. See ‘Nonviolent Action:
Minimizing the Risk of Violent Repression’.
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 it 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.
Equally importantly to any of the points above,
particularly given the pressing threat of human extinction – see ‘Human Extinction Now
Imminent and Inevitable? A Report on the State of Planet Earth’ – but also because becoming more self-reliant is
vital to our ongoing capacity to resist elite encroachments on our rights and
freedom, consider joining those participating in ‘The Flame Tree Project to Save Life on Earth’.
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 this economy must definitely be superseded if
humans are to survive.
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 if you listen while giving them the opportunity to talk
about, and focus on feeling, their own emotional reactions to what is happening.
See ‘Nisteling: The Art of Deep
Listening’.
If you have suggestions that you believe might improve
this strategy, please let me know. My email address is in my biodata below.
And while I have a full backup copy of the strategy
website, given the obvious vulnerability of websites to removal from the
internet by the elite, if people are interested in creating mirror sites of
this website, I would be pleased to hear from them. In addition, people are
welcome to print copies of this article and pages from the website. The home
page of the website is here: Nonviolent Defense/Liberation
Strategy. It is
extracted/adapted from the book The Strategy of Nonviolent Defense: A Gandhian
Approach.
If, at any point, the internet is taken down and/or we
are prevented from communicating using the electronic means to which we have
become accustomed, printed copies of key documents should still be able to be
easily copied to share by one means or another. In the worst case scenario: if
everyone is confined to their house permanently and receives a routine
allocation of food that is delivered to their door, the delivery person might
be willing to transfer messages. And so might other service people who will
inevitably be necessary. Obviously, until such extreme measures are taken,
while we have any freedom to move, even to go shopping, there will be
opportunities to communicate and to arrange further opportunities to
communicate.
As I mentioned above, however, apart from the ongoing
elite coup, the Earth is under siege from our assaults on a vast range of
fronts. If we are serious about tackling this crisis too, we must be willing to
consider committing to:
The Earth Pledge
Out of love for the Earth and all of its creatures,
and my respect for their needs, from this day onwards I pledge that:
1. I will listen deeply to children (see explanation above)
2. I will not travel by plane
3. I will not travel by car
4. I will not eat meat and fish
5. I will only eat organically/biodynamically grown
food
6. I will minimize the amount of fresh water I use,
including by minimizing my ownership and use of electronic devices
7. I will not buy rainforest timber
8. I will not buy or use single-use plastic, such as
bags, bottles, containers, cups and straws
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
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
11. I will not get news from the corporate media
(mainstream newspapers, television, radio, Google, Facebook, Twitter…)
12. I will make the effort to learn a skill, such as
food gardening or sewing, that makes me more self-reliant
13. I will gently encourage my family and friends to
consider signing this pledge.
Conclusion
Humanity is at a crossroads it has never before faced.
The
global elite has engineered this latest crisis after many years of planning so
that it can take control of the Earth and everything on it. While some
‘sweeteners’ in the short term, such as minimal income support for individuals
and businesses in some countries, are being offered to make it look as if
governments are responding to the crisis with our best interests in mind,
whatever palliative measures are being taken are simply designed to ensure that
we remain submissive as we are led to our fate. In any case, of course, the
vast bulk of government handouts are going to wealthy corporations. See ‘The Coronavirus Aid,
Relief, and Economic Security, CARES Act Is Business Giveaway, “Handout” to
Monied Interests’.
If you
lack the inclination or courage to do the research to understand the nature and
depth of this crisis and/or to join the struggle to resist the elite takeover
of our world, you are encouraged to support those who do have the inclination
and courage. If you simply believe that the ‘COVID-19 crisis’ will pass and
everything will revert to how it was, it might be worth reading some political
history (focusing on life in those countries that suffered or still suffer
under dictatorship or occupation) or simply checking out what Israel is doing
now. See ‘Americans Beware:
Trump Could Emulate Netanyahu’s Coronavirus Coup’. We are already so far beyond the
possibility of ‘a return to how it was’ that the only realistic question
worth asking now is ‘How bad will it be?’
In
short, this struggle to restore our rights, economic well-being and freedoms
will not be won easily. And it will come at significant cost. But it is only if
enough people are willing to risk paying that cost, and apply their energy
strategically, that this struggle for our humanity can actually be won.
I intend
to do everything I can to ensure that we succeed. I hope that you will too.
