Great to read this! Here in Ecuador we are at another key point with Lasso the president dissolving the national assembly yesterday because they were in the process of impeaching him. At the same time, the narco trade of Colombia has spread into Ecuador as a conduit for drugs to the US. And the prisons are completely out of control this year with riots that have killed over 400 inmates. And the streets of Guayaquil, the largest city in Ecuador with 5 million have become somewhat dangerous. We have been working since 2020 to promote the idea of horizontal government (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wywMhg604W8) to make Ecuador the first country to do so, to rid us once and for all, of corrupt and controlled government. We have been working with all the indigenous nations and campesinos to bring this about, but still have a ways to go, to make this one single demand. Everyone is sick of the government, but most think the solution is thru a better president, while we know that they are always and easily corrupted (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oilxI6Dgoy8&t=5s). So, now is the perfect time to bring this in, for people to recognize that NO candidate is going to save the day. We would like to see this idea spread throughout S. America and the world. One solution, and we need many more, is to end vertical governments everywhere, end politicians and political parties, and put the power into the hands of the people through assemblies. This needs to be the agreed upon demand of all future protests in my opinion.

Yes, the idea of real participative democracy and decentralized power was one of the key elements of the Gilets Jaunes cause and remains a core part of the current resistance. It does indeed need to be at the heart of our demands, everywhere.

It is necessary to always remember; Pure Democracy isn't just as it doesn't consider the needs of the minorities found in all countries of the world today. There must be an added dimension to disallow 'The Rule of the Mob' which ALWAYS becomes about FORCE; or all we wish to avoid in Govt.

Horizontal can be by consensus, i.e. 100 % or whatever the people decide.

"The answer, for me, cannot be separated from the global coup we are currently undergoing under the heading of The Great Reset."

Some say, the scamdemic was a counterinsurgency operation resulting from the thousands of protests just prior to COVID which occurred on every continent. Of course, transferring trillions to the most wealthiest was another important factor. Well anyway, COVID was treated like a bioweapon and all the subsequent actions to supposedly contain it and the world's populations was a synchronized militarized/security state operation. And if you notice, some of the most Leftist anti-imperialist movements worldwide went along with the official COVID narrative like sheep being lead to slaughter; interesting that.🤔

But I digress, "disaster gangster capitalism" needs a restructuring to secure more goodies for the usual ghouls while simultaneously heightening social repression to control the outraged masses who are increasingly aware they're being exploited. That being said, the chickens are coming home to roost as Global Empire resurfaces under the phony term multipolarity. So in effect, the entire planet is being colonized

by billionaire techno/fascist goons.

having been following some of the Gilet Jaunes movement in 2019, i was was first shocked by what i saw happening in portland oregon in the wake of the george floyd murder protests when the feds were brought in and seen scooping up people into vans. and then the antifa vs blm narratives that proliferated. only to completely recognize the cooptation of both, let alone libs who have subsumed the idea of themselves as “left”, in the recent reveal of the covid coup when i lost fam and friend alike to their inability or willful ignorance to critically apply their analysis of other corporate takeovers to the crisis at hand.

2018-2019... and nothing to show for! There is no point in wasting time/resources doing stuff like this if in the end they just want to keep on voting in scoundrels/terrorists/fraudsters.

As for OPERATION COVIDIUS it helped to reveal Reality. Modern moron slaves (apparently the 'rebels' in this article) weren't that rebel after all.

Never "tested", Never jabbed, Never masked, Never locked... Go figure.

The indigenous people of North America who resisted that occupation had "nothing to show" for all their efforts. But that doesn't mean it was a waste of time.

Standing up for truth, justice and freedom is always worth doing, even when success against all the odds is far from guaranteed.

You will never win if you don't fight.

Fighting just for fighting seems pointless... I guess for many this is their main hobby.

From the herds "protesting" about the 2007/8 financial terrorist attacks to the 2018/19 yellow vests Life conditions for the herds just keep getting worse and worse.

Wonder why that is...

Because not enough people are rising up, perhaps. Our duty is to encourage them to do so... Resistance is never futile in the long run.

Its more a matter of quality than quantity! And evidence is clear that quality is extremely low.

Someone younger, healthier, wealthier and better connected than me will have to organize a worldwide army to fight against the tyranny. Small groups will be killed

Exact opposite!

You or small groups of MMS is the way to go. Target SRF&B!

At this point reality is very SIMPLE: It's either KILL or be culled.

Until several Jedburgh’s actions aren’t executed nothing will change except the things the SRF & Billionaires via jesters want to CHANGE!
