moment in time.
moment in time.
As we reach for a better world, each of us struggling to find peace within, we are combating nutritional, psychological and spiritual warfare carried out by the rich, informed by centuries of research into the physical, psychological, and spiritual inner parts of humanity. They control our education, news, food, medicine, economy, government, and entertainment.
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.

Ssussdriad is a living framework for communities to become self-sufficient, a blueprint for sovereignty and self-organization which can be replicated or adjusted according to a community's needs.
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 stimulating the local economy and making it accessible to all.
This is a plan for world peace. And it takes root in Hanford California. Thank you for shining the light of your consciousness, your priceless attention, upon this dream.

...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.
As the world is cast in shadow
We will carry a light
We begin by re-discovering our past
Long before human settlements, we were hunter gatherers
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.

And Happy
the Age of Empires
And though its names have changed,
it's what we've had ever since..
A ruling class

This is Klaus Schwab
Director of the World Economic Forum, a globalist think tank getting a lot of attention lately, and deservedly so.
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.

and is a top institutional investor in just about every corporation you've ever heard of.
He's also a member of GFANZ,
which represents over 43% of global banking assets,

to force the United Nations' alleged
"Sustainable Development Goals"
upon the world.
Like much in today's world,
"sustainable development"
isn't what they say it is.

They advocate for a "Fourth Industrial Revolution",
where everything is a smart device, and
we are all under constant surveillance.
They wrote an article about a future
where property rights are a thing of the past,
and our dreams are automatically recorded and analyzed.
Today they brag about breakthroughs in wearable technologies that can tell if you're happy or sad, what color you're thinking of, and even pin numbers.

In 2020, at the WEF's annual meeting at Davos, Yuval Noah Harari gave a speech called "how to survive the 21st century", where he predicts the creation of a "global useless class", and the rise of "digital dictatorships that would monitor everyone all the time".
"if you know enough biology, and you have enough computing power and data, you can hack my body, and my brain, and my life, and you can understand me better than I understand myself. You can know my personality type my political views, my sexual preferences, my mental weaknesses, my deepest fears and hopes... and you can do that not just to me, but to everyone...a system that understands us better than we understand ourselves can predict our feelings and decisions, can manipulate our feelings and decisions, and can ultimately make decisions for us..."
""...we humans should get used to the idea
that we are no longer mysterious souls,
we are now hack-able animals."

The ruling class has been building a prison
And they've been at it for a while
A long while
This may be a good time to take a deep breath in through the nose, with a long, slow exhale out the mouth.
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.

Fortunately, we can look to the earth for guidance out
of this centuries-old trap.
In fact,
I'll argue we're nearly out already.

Empire Era
into the Planetary Era,
characterized by diversity,
decentralization,
cooperation,

Guidestones
Frameworks for understanding, which help to elucidate the elements and relationships designed into this expedition.
Patterning After Nature
Every breath ever breathed, idea imagined, first step taken, owes itself to the processes of this planet, to the dynamic and diverse range of behaviors and relationships that make up life on earth.
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
According to research carried out by Boston Consultancy Group, the world's most successful and resilient corporations share several traits with nature.
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
A recipe for revolution.
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.
Professor Cass Sunstein argues that social cascades throughout history have had the following three social phenomena in common.
Polyvegal Theory
A new understanding of our nervous system.
When well regulated, we are compassionate, creative, driven, and curious. When we're in states of chronic stress, our access to these parts of ourselves is diminished.

Art Hop
Downtown's monthly Art Hop will return in-person, and as a multi-camera live stream. With pre-recorded interviews with artists, musicians, and shop owners, we'll show real people, with real stories.
Whether you make it out to #HopHanford, or tune in from home, you'll have fun.

Game Shows
We'll frequently host and live stream game shows from the bookstore. Come in for a bite on game show night, and have the chance to participate in a game on stage.
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.

The dynamic nature of this expedition and our bookstore will provide more opportunity for engaging live streams, like live concerts, lectures, pitch events.
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
A natural, and transparent form of advertising, where paid adverts are molded to fit the style of the content they're placed in. Native Ads outperform traditional advertising on may metrics.
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.
