Ssussdriad
and our potential.
and our potential,
scattered past,
moment in time.
That we still reach. That in spite of it all we find beauty, and bring joy to those around us. That we love..that we organize... we are awakening.
That's why they are trying so hard to convince us that we've already lost. But once we look beyond the controlled narratives, and rise above the fear, we see their penetration of governments, and capture of industry for what they are: the desperate acts of a small parasitic few who see their era of control coming to a close.
This plan introduces a strategy for community sense-making, for organizing around, and addressing the many facets of our collapsing civilization, in order to collectively plan and build a collaborative, equitable, joyful, and free world.
This plan also offers a mechanism for funding such an endeavor, while simultaneously stimulating the local economy and making it accessible to all.
Ssussdriad represents ideas worth cultivating, which will someday shade and protect us, a route to a wise and just humanity; the unceasing will of life to persist.
This is a plan for world peace. And it takes root in Hanford California. Thank you for shining your undefinable, mysterious, light of consciousness, your priceless attention, upon this dream.
From Hanford California
we will explore solutions.
a forum for organizing around them,
and a mechanism for funding
ideas as they emerge, with profits distributed to all.
...And that's just where we'll begin
We will simultaneously conduct an open source investigation into the systemic weaponization of the engineered world against man and earth.
We begin by re-discovering our past
Tribal.
We enjoyed kinship with each other, our planet, and the animals we hunted and consumed.
Our communication was verbal..
oh, we were masters of story.
We had few possessions, only what we could carry, and new technology spread rapidly,
because innovation was a gift to be shared with all,
and because that was one way to make it into the stories.
We knew everyone by name,
and removing only the poison darts from reach,
children learned through play.
We were calm
Alert
Capable
And Happy
and like water, our structure changed.
We discovered we could cultivate the earth
and she would yield to us her bounty.
We began to settle,
and our populations grew.
Staying in one place,
we over-hunted and gathered our territories,
relying more and more on our cultivation,
demanding evermore from the earth.
Skills were gradually lost,
and our numbers outgrew our ability to keep all the names in our heads.
We fragmented.
Possessions and power began to pool where families could produce more,
which meant a lot less play for children.
It meant class divides,
theft
and evermore novel conflicts.
The thing about power - Where it pools, it stays,
at least for a while,
because power can enact its will.
or stomp them out.
And with the written word came the ability to rule from afar..
the Age of Empires
it's what we've had ever since..
A ruling class

think tanks,
and secret societies.

They are not the only powerful group working their will on the world, but they help paint a picture of the problem we face.
Klaus Schwab is on camera in 2017 bragging about how successful the WEF's Young Global Leaders program has been at penetrating the cabinets of governments around the world.
Some graduates of this program include:
Boris Johnson, Angela Merkel, Vladimir Putin, Justin Trudeau, Gavin Newsom, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and a great many more.
Partnered with the WEF is nearly every major corporation you've ever heard of, reaching into every sector of our lives.
A small sample of this list:
Google, Facebook, TikTok, AT&T, Verizon, Amazon, Exxon Moderna, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Bayer, Apple, Coke, Pepsi, Walmart, and PG&E.
They are also partnered with Nasdaq, and the New York Stock Exchange, who recently announced NACs, an investment vehicle for the rich to own the processes of the natural world.

that we are no longer mysterious souls,
we are now hack-able animals."
and guides the corporations that control every sector of our lives.
A long while
Remind yourself that you're safe. Wiggle your nose, and cheeks. Stretch a bit.
Take another deep breath, and let it out in a sigh.
The ruling class uses fear to control us.
So we learn to regulate our nervous systems.
They hide our history from us.
So we discover it for ourselves.
They use media.
So we create our own, and become masters of story.
They have all the money.
So we generate true wealth.
They control the food.
So we grow our own,
become experts in soil,
and rediscover our health,
and our earth.
We rise to the challenge.
We adapt.
And in doing so,
we find out what we're capable of.
This is adventure.
of this centuries-old trap.
In fact,
I'll argue we're nearly out already.
In his Foundation Stone Lectures,
Dr. Robert Gilman
makes a compelling case for the current transition from the
Empire Era
into the Planetary Era,
characterized by diversity,
decentralization,
cooperation,
true efficiency,
equity,
freedom,
and abundance.
and if we turn our attention to that story
we find parallels,
we find guidance,
and affirmation.
Early ecosystem development is characterized by it's pioneer species,
by low diversity,
by isolation,
competition,
and domination.
At this stage of development, ecosystems are less resilient to change,
less efficient and productive,
but they pave the way for later succession species.
They do this by breaking up compacted soils,
accumulating minerals
and bringing them to the surface,
and making strides in their ability to take sunlight,
carbon, water and minerals,
and manufacture more and more complex sugars to send into the soil,
cultivating increasingly complex biological populations in their root zones.
This journey in an ecosystem's development is necessary, and creates the environment for
late succession species to take over.
Usually because the resource-heavy
pioneers overshoot their available resources
resulting in a setback,
where nature selects for species
who collaborate.
which catches and stores energy,
and transforms disturbance into life.
Earth's old growth forests
are diverse,
collaborative,
resilient,
healthy,
and abundant.
Guidestones
Patterning After Nature
Written into the soil, the forest creek, and the human body, are patterns that represent billions of years of accumulated wisdom. If we take the time to learn from our greatest teacher, we can apply these patterns to our own lives, resulting in more creative, resilient, and self-sufficient homes, neighborhoods, businesses, communities and, someday, society.
Permaculture
Earth Care
People Care
Fair Share
Observe and interact
Catch and store energy
Obtain a yield
Apply self-regulation & accept feedback
Use & value renewable resources & services
Produce no waste
Design from patterns to details
Integrate rather than segregate
use small and slow solutions
Use and value diversity
use edges & value the marginal
Creatively use and respond to change
The Biology of Corporate Survival
Variety in nature means more ways in which energy is used before it leaves the system. Diversity among elements and their connections buffers against environmental shocks, and is the reservoir for adaptation.
Systems pull from their reservoir of diversity to adjust and creatively respond to change.
Though there is overall interconnectedness in nature, everywhere there are subsystems and functional groups. Modularity slows the spread of shocks between components, making the overall system more resilient.
Elements in nature play overlapping roles, each fulfilling multiple needs, and each need being met by multiple elements. This means when one element fails, another can replace it.
Nature is constantly changing. As species A evolves, so too do the organisms they feed on (species B), causing a need for further adaptation by species A. These adaptations in both species influence the larger system, and resulting changes in the larger system prompt further adaptation by species A and B. This process repeats in perpetuity.
It's through feedback loops that systems detect environmental changes, and select for adaptation.
From the root zone of a single plant to the forest at large, ecosystems big and small are nested in their larger environment, allowing for evolution through interaction, emergence, and feedback.
How Change Happens
The tendency for people to misrepresent their opinions, believing their peers wouldn't agree.
Some people require no support at all before they will say what they think or join a movement, some need to see at least one other person acting before they will join, some two, some three, and on into infinity.
The tendency for a group of like-minded individuals to make decisions that are more extreme than the initial inclination of its members.
Magic Arts
the art of combining knowledge,
resources,
and ability
to move the world.
The following is a sampling
of the tools we'll leverage
in support of a new age.
Community-Owned
Community Capital
Ssussdriad will then be opened up to the people of Hanford through a community capital raise, giving locals the opportunity to invest, own shares, see returns.
This will open the economy up to any who wish to participate, and instead of profits leaving town for the Vanguards and Blackrocks of the world, revenue will stay local, and raise the tide for all.
This expedition will chart a path for many more community-owned businesses to come, leading to an enduring and strong local economy.
Cooperative Governance
Authority will be distributed; sociocracy
Leadership will flux with the necessities of circumstance, the demands of the moment, naturally arising through action, display of wisdom and reason, compassion, and vision.
Non-Violent
Communication
NVC fosters deep listening, respect, and empathy and engenders a mutual desire to give from the heart
Crowd-Sourced
Involvement and participation by the people will determine our tempo of achievement, our tone of action, our verse in history.
Vectors of influence
We will post frequent surveys, interview community members, facilitate the organizing around relevant topics, as well as host in-person meetings around our focus areas.
Open Source
Transparent, replicable
We'll collaborate with communities near and far to better envision and reach for a free world.
Feedback Loops
This will include community surveys, sales data, viral metrics of digital productions, and measuring progress toward community goals.
Feedback loops will be built into our internal operational structure, as well. Privacy will always be respected.
Story
We will study the craft, and hone our skills in the ancient art of story. Drawing on wisdom of centuries of master story-tellers, we will wield this art with care, distilling the complex, and awakening within our audience the fires of their potential.
A Community-owned company of 4 modular business elements..
A school
In an environment guided by human psychodynamics, and the psychology of how children learn, students will be free to play and self-direct their learning, and will grow up surrounded by adults who are actively working toward a better world.
Children will face real challenges, and take advantage of real opportunity.
A Neighborhood Utopias Initiative
One of nature's most effective strategies is experimentation and selection. As new strategies develop in the forums, neighborhoods who wish to experiment will do so, sharing their experience with other neighborhoods.
This will be a mechanism for the rapid transformation of our community toward self-organization, abundance, creativity, and resilience.
Ssussdriad and Finding Hanford will provide support, documentation, and networking for neighborhoods and groups working toward such ends.
This will start with networking in the forums, and expand into providing requested training, and eventually community-owned recreation facilities, like gokarts, paintball, laser tag, arcades, a bus and surfing equipment, the sky is the limit.
Ssussdriad will help neighborhoods to tell their story through our media outlets.
And Community Discussion Forums
We will organize think tanks around the focus areas, brainstorm solutions, and prototype this project.
Neighborhoods participating in the Utopias Initiative will also have a secure place to organize themselves, as well as to network with the larger project.
I will be opening up these forums soon to a small number, who will help me test and structure, and set the tone. In time, these forums will be opened up to the community.
A Regenerative Farm
The Soil Food Web
Pests and Disease
Instead, we'll use proven management practices to support the biological processes happening within the plant and around its roots.
We do not need to re-invent the wheel. These markers of plant health are being achieved all over the world.
Compost & Tea
We will hone our composting skills on our own farm, and then offer compost services to our community.
Testing
The R-Soils Database is a project by Matt Powers. An open-source planetary soil database and community, where soil scientists and home gardeners alike will chart the mysteries of the soil.
This database will accept tests like soil respiration, brix, plant sap analysis, microscope images, and even dna sequencing. It will also utilize machine learning to assist in microbial identification and counting and, I'm sure, much more.
Ssussdriad will be a frequent participant in this community.

Ssussdriad Books will be the expedition's home in Downtown Hanford, providing a safe and dynamic environment for families. Where grabbing a bite, or a brew, catching a show, or joining a club directly energizes community strategy.
A Refuge From The Storm.
A Place From Which To Build.
And To Party.
301 North Douty
Today's kids will remember it as Ssussdriad's home in downtown Hanford, where we will explore and honor its past, and cultivate its future.
Bookstore
Restaurant
Farm fresh buffet and meal-prep
We will partner with local chefs and culinary programs to regularly host guest chefs from near and far, keeping our daily meals new, creative, healthy, and unique.
The bulk nature of our meals will allow Ssussdriad to also offer meal-prep services, helping the busy folks of Hanford find the best food for their families.
Market
Like with our own farm, we will have a standard of health for the crops and soil from the farms we partner with.

Community-Sourced / Local
We will draw on the power of crowd-sourcing to inform our coverage. We will achieve this through the discussion forums, and a 24/7 tip line.
Through the forums we will design a plan for paying contributors.
Podcast
Finding Hanford
I for one see hotpads at the airport, and trips to the moon.
we will interview those with experience in areas relevant to Hanford's journey, such as nutrition, education, philosophy, soil science, consciousness.
Our Open Collective page will have a podcast budget where we will split tips with our weekly guests, allowing us to attract individuals otherwise un-approachable.
Blog
Celebrating Hanford Culture. Telling Our Story.
Together we'll discover who we are, and who we can be.
Discussion Forums
Community Sense-Making
Together we will chart a path forward.
The forums will also be a place to submit news tips, and blog posts. Community engagement will inform our podcast, blog posts, and the larger expedition.
Surveys
More Community Sense-Making
However, when these assumptions are corrected, and results made transparent, the revelation of hidden common agreement can be a powerful tool for growth.
We will use anonymous surveys as a tool for community reflection, sparking conversation, and gaining insight into the opinions and hopes within our hearts.
These surveys will also be informed by community discussion in the forums.
Broadcasts
Art Hop
Whether you make it out to #HopHanford, or tune in from home, you'll have fun.
Game Shows
Some games will be filled in advance so we can record interviews with participants, enabling us to create a dynamic and engaging viewing experience for those watching from home, and fun and unique memories for those on stage.
Revolution Televised
Home Shopping
ETC.
We will start out with just a few regular shows..
..But with community support, and practice, our skills will grow, as will our budget.. Then comes film, and television.
Native Advertising
We will blend marketing with narrative, and explore the people behind the brands.
Some examples of how this may look are game show prizes, interviews with Art Hop locations, blogs showing how a given shop got started in Hanford.
We will offer both free and paid advertising to local business, exploring who they are, not ust what they sell.
Ssussdriad
It represents the ideas that promise a better path for mankind. In time, these ideas will grow large, their roots reaching deep within the earth, their canopy guarding a world at peace.
Some aspects of this dream will be introduced right away, and some will come later, after Hanford is well on its way to self-sufficiency, and self-determination.
