The Biggest Distractions & False Solutions In The “Truth” Movement

Note: This article was made for accountability, and I speak in a more blunt down-to-earth manner, as a fellow truth and freedom seeker.


This article may ruffle a few feathers. I say that because on a truth-seeking journey, it is easy to fall down a rabbit-hole and start to think we got things figured out, or that we reached some unique information that others don’t have, qualifying ourselves to speak about certain subjects until the end of time with great determination. Becoming aware of the deprogramming is just as helpful as becoming aware of the programming, because in both paths, we may still lose ourselves, our most honest “uncarved block” selves. Take what you will from this article, as with others I have written, because you are always to think for yourself. I foremost value all perspectives and ideas, especially if they challenge current or past ideas, because they help us evolve in numerous ways such that we open possibility in recognizing problems and finding new potential solutions; that being said, I challenge you to go beyond ideas and material as a whole, because freedom can evolve from physical to mental and ultimately spiritual form, as the 19th Century Abolitionists also had to realize for themselves. The following is the list of main distractions and false solutions that I witness within the so-called “truth” and “freedom” “movement;” putting these in quotes for reasons also explained below.


1. Zionism & Communism & Capitalism & Vatican & Ideologies


Undeniably there have been many ideologies which have plagued humanity, and turned certain sects of humankind against one another, leading us to blame these ideologies or even each other. However, seeing as the tendency in history is to group people together with identity, it has dehumanized individuals into no-longer-individuals, but as collectives, justifying collectivism or “greater good” arguments of purging or crusading or jihading specific populations due to specific beliefs. In history we have had a tendency to not blame specifically the ideology or the actions and ideas portrayed within individuals, and to look at people as a number line or as an army or as a “we” and “us” or “this nation” or “that nation” just as much as we also look at certain people as “kings” or “queens” or “presidents” and “ministers.” We must always seek the human behind or beyond ideology, which by definition in reality, every human being lives without any ideology, but always with scrutiny because of our attachments and assumptions. Now if we are arguing from the basis of an ideology being wrong, despite the fact all ideology is wrong, the question must be what is the ideology causing or impacting aside from it’s base nature we just addressed. The specific ideologies mentioned are by-products or symptoms of Statism, because they are all political doctrines, ways of controlling or managing peoples, thus violating self-ownership and the ability of an individual to peacefully and voluntarily live their own lives. If they are practiced voluntarily, without dehumanizing or harming people, nobody would probably care so much about them or as being problematic, but then in that case, they may go by another whole name, which is why you see denominations in religion or “Protestant” Christians for instance. In any case, the focus should be on looking at humanity without ideology or looking at Statism which focuses on how any ideology is carried out. Without Statism or order-following, no ideology gains momentum, especially harmful ones, because nobody is suppressing their conscience or creating authority in man over man. If we don’t see the ideology of ideology, Statism and human nature, we are distracting ourselves by looking at the symptoms and causing more conflicts than solutions by not seeing our fellow man as man and pin-picking at one problem.


2. Flat Earth & Red Pills & Various “Conspiracies”


As people come across one hidden truth, they may come across others, and therefore one may credit certain subjects or even certain life events helping them to “wake up” about their whole life and how much they have been lied to. While this may certainly be understood when you study history and the nature of power systems, we may also lie to ourselves and attach not just to ideology, but ideas that form ideology. The flat earth “movement” is one of the most organized and known worldwide for the shared symbols and teachings, as well as the public ridicule which has brought people to it’s attention. We shouldn’t be afraid to speak our mind, think for ourselves or even be ridiculed, but the question remains if we are ourselves and thinking for ourselves. While we may say it was programming that made us think the earth was a globe, ironically enough, because we are talking about deprogramming, we can become fixated on talking about the earth not being a globe. And in either case, no matter where you stand, if you simply say the true position is reality, then the conversation shouldn’t exist so much in the first place. Indeed most “conspiracy” talks only exist due to deceptions involving a lack of transparency and trust, and becoming aware of this will help us not play into the conspiracy game, or even potential psychological-operations (psy-ops) meant to distract us from real-world change. This again, doesn’t mean we ignore these potential “conspiracies,” it means we see the underlying themes. What are those themes? The government, our freedoms, our ability to think for ourselves. What is most relevant to these themes? Statism, that which creates the very government, and thus all conspiracies, that which by it’s nature gives away freedom and personal responsibility and individual conscience or free thinking. Even if everybody were to agree the earth is flat or not, or that 9/11 was an inside-job, or that the federal reserve should be taken away in America, or the thousands of other conspiracies that continue to happen day to day, the fundamental basis of Statism would remain because skepticism has always remained in humanity but has been unable to pin-point the exact issue, and conspiracies will continually occur and become worse until it is addressed; almost none of these “controversial” events people talk about could ever occur without order-followers. The worst part? Most “truthers” still have Statism within themselves because the programming is so strong and requires self-reflection and self-research, less externalization. (See my video titled “The Greatest Conspiracy” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5cf2kP2zUE)


3. Independent Media Influencers Not Activating Their Audience


Even worse, we may argue, than not detailing the problems, is not detailing the solutions. Yet, most of the “truth” media is also prone to this, due to the clickbait, mysterious and trauma-reactive nature of problems and conspiracies. From selling Merch to health products, to endless private and paid events, to endless news shows, to endless interviews and detailed analysis, one is left often with the concern “how come nobody else sees this?” or “this is so profound, how do we change it all?” And the same content creators that get people to this point don’t provide a bridge for them in their personal life to make any difference. They don’t detail civil disobedience or nonviolent resistance, they don’t detail growing food or permaculture, talking with neighbors, holding local events or creating demonstration centers, Agorism, Austrian economics and counter-economics, therapeutic approaches like Somatherapy, unschooling methods for the youth, the Socratic method in talking to others without scaring them off, or self-defense and strategic methods to empower people to finally and all-at-once say “no” to the system for a mass change that gets displayed to the whole world. Most never heard of statism or voluntaryism, it would challenge themselves and their audience too much, it would be about morality and psychology which is far harder to talk about and market than current and past events or people.  And the worst part? Even if these content creators get close to this, among sharing other decentralized solutions, which may be very few influencers, none of them are willing to show by example and guide their audience in doing it with them. Sacrifice and courage is left out of the equation, and so people are left in fear just as worse, if not even more worse, than the way the mainstream media makes average people feel. Yet, because the independent media caters to the “lonely” (when they often aren’t), it most certainly makes them feel worse because “nobody else will listen” and “everyone is being lied to about everything.” This paranoia, in constant exposure, will make anyone make themselves crazy, more than the very media which attacks them, feeding into the perfect target for the media to continually attack, and systems to continually justify punishment against them. Instead of being yourself, who wears no label, fitting into no box, hard to figure out, you are placed among others called “conspiracy theorists” who fanatically attach to certain topics or are so scattered on so many conspiracies, and together you form an echo-chamber of thought and paranoia which will never be accepted by the mainstream by the nature of this union. Influencers need to reach out to other influencers, escape their own information and audiences, be willing to be courageous and make sacrifices, but empower and inspire people, showing by example, leaving people with action-steps and not fear. Equally so, audience members must hold influencers accountable and perhaps even be these influencers.


4. Paperwork & Assemblies & Sovereign Citizens & State Nationals


Since the premises has been made with the previous points, these next sections should become more apparent as to their issues. A fixation on paperwork for change is simply a way of getting around a direct “no” to the power-systems that should-not-be. It is the equivalent to voting and elections, since it is working within the system to escape the system, and thus it will face a lot of resistance but will appeal to people not willing to make the direct act of resistance in civil disobedience, especially if there is money offered or promised, and whole terminology, loopholes and special knowledge is given as though we have a “hidden” system kept away from us. The worst part? This “hidden” system is often equated to that of a natural or god-given system, much like the justifications for all governments in history, to create further Statism or obedience. Like the centralized churches in history, it relies on interpretation and methodology regarding middlemen and material things, otherwise you are not acting on behalf of nature or god. This mixed-lie makes the lie more deceiving, especially when it is seen as a somewhat organized option to escape the system, and you see people coming together in “assemblies” and you are told this is how it is “supposed to be.” As long as you rely on any system of man, his paperwork or ideologies, his material or flags and countries, you will always be under mental slavery, and this state-national or sovereign-citizen mentality is merely a remnant of statist programming. Many of these “rebels” may be justified in rebelling, but how they do it, often leaves them in jail or with punishment which leads them to further extremes or straight-up giving up. And like voting, some may just do their paperwork and say their thing, and be on their way, staying laid back as though freedom does not require any mental, spiritual or moral work of inspiration beyond material thing and terminology. Like the previous points, this position can cause more conflicts than solutions, especially since you are still having to teach something new, rather than just deprogramming what was taught by man to naturally find nature and truth. You are already sovereign, you have always been, even when you were born, whether with or without a birth-certificate, because nature does not deal in paperwork. It deals in actions, and are your actions aligned to nature? It starts with your ideas. Conveniently, the state-national and similar type assemblies will make up their own terminology, also making connections that only support their premises ignorant of other worldviews (such as that by Lysander Spooner, various teachings on Natural Law, the Constitution being fraud by it’s nature), and individuals like Fearless Floyd has gone on to expose their “cult” like methods, even interviewing dozens of ex-members. Truth has no paperwork, as Thomas Paine even said “the sun needs no inscription to distinguish him from darkness” and that “such is the irresistible nature of truth, that all it asks, and all it wants, is the liberty of appearing.” (See our article on Thomas Paine proving government doesn’t work https://www.theliberator.us/post/american-founding-father-admits-government-does-not-work and Hidden American history https://www.theliberator.us/post/exposing-the-shady-history-of-the-constitution)


5. Populism & Constitutionalism & Minarchism & Old Frameworks


Ah, the term Populism has been coming back to surface again and again as people look away from centralized control, as “the people’s party,” but surely we shouldn’t worry because it is not “the people’s republic” of China, that must just be a coincidence of name. Similarly, the fact the Weimar Republic before Nazi Germany was a “constitutional republic” similar to America, surely must not mean anything of significance. Okay, these are just names, but what is different about them? Populism, Constitutionalism, Democracy, Republics, and all the like are merely flavors of Statism. Once again, if they are practiced voluntarily, they’d simply be under the banner of Voluntaryism, but these ideologies have all been used for controlling people and determining what amount of violence and special rights is necessary for the “greater good.” Whilst touting individualism, they are collectivist by their nature of implementation into government. What better way to keep people distracted than by offering a “better” way, but not a totally new way or no way at all, nonetheless to promise them a past way, to keep people from looking at the present and future, to keep people from evolving into their destiny or learning from past mistakes, keeping them in old-patterns of thought. Just as it was the American founding fathers experimenting upon their “republic” or “presidents” as opposed to the “monarchy” or “queens” and “kings,” people are proposing all sorts of experiments for how to mold human beings and their society, and they are often based on old models. Many 19th century American Abolitionists noticed these problems with the “limited government” (minarchism) American experiment, and though we may argue it is a stepping stone in the right direction, it is nonetheless not the end of our evolution. Let’s not fool ourselves by saying it was “ordained by God,” we’d be just as bad as the first government Sumeria which held kings “ordained by God” (divine right) and claimed to “protect the weak from the strong” (codes of Ur-Nammu & Hammurabi) while enslaving it’s people and “granting” them freedom (manumission/enfranchisement). History is merely repeating because people still have Statism or mental slavery, and justifications have changed in euphemism (terminology) to keep the same old lies. Away from all these frameworks, away from statism, is voluntaryism, which merely holds that we should operate under reality, which has no singular framework, and no “authority” or “right to rule” vested in man. This doesn’t presume no order or no rules, nor does it presume no leadership or no organization or hierarchy, all it presumes is no slavery or involuntary hierarchy, no democide, no man-acting-as-God. You will never see a government in history only protecting people or being founded upon mutual agreement, they are always founded upon conquest, war and slavery. I must say, I called myself a populist before I understood statism and voluntaryism, and now I see a world using the term populism, but I continually ask, “how much of a truth-seeker are you really?” Be a “patriot” to god, truth and nature, not to some material thing and man-made ideology.


6. Voting & Elections & Political Action


As Emma Goldman said, “if voting changed anything, they’d make it illegal.” If there was any action that signifies mental slavery, it would be elections and voting. Notice the crowds of people hailing their new savior, praying and crying, on their knees and begging for change. Their parental figure, whether mother or father, for caring or protecting, is an archetype projected on mass through the rituals of politics. Rituals, which one core to it’s existence, includes voting. America is not unique to this system, and it teaches people that they have a “voice” due to their “vote” despite the self-evident fact that their voice is their voice, and a vote is just some name on a piece of paper. Surely, writing down someone’s name on a piece of paper, donating tons of money to them, buying their merch and then paying violence-backed taxes to them when they make it in and having to obey their every word due to their “authority,” surely this is the path to freedom. As if it couldn’t be more direct, saying “I want you to rule me” is basically saying “I am a statist” or “I am a slave” because “I want someone to have ownership over my own life and property.” The problem is, this sounds voluntary (another mixed lie) because you are handing it over, except it is not, because you are determining who will be other people’s master, telling them how to live their own lives, and nonetheless, the person in “office” can do whatever they want once elected. We think of the government as a business or organization, when it is not. We claim we can kick them out, or leave the country or change the laws, but we would once again ignore reality which declares that an individual owns themselves, can live where they want as long as they don’t violate the ownership of others, and that they only owe allegiance to natural laws including morality and ownership. One pretense must be secured by another, a feedback loop for passive income in the ruling elites, and it tends to be the same bloodlines, taking financial interests, again and again. To have a system that guarantees a violation on ownership and morality, for the possibility of protecting ownership and morality, is hypocritical. Nonetheless, to claim that people are too stupid or weak that they need to be governed, and then claiming that the same people (often the lowest of people who seek it) should rule because everyone must decide, just as Osho said “democracy is for the people, by the people, of the people... But the people are retarded.” Similarly, to say that men are not angels, that’s why they need someone to rule over them (dehumanizing), but to know that men are not angels, which is why nobody is fit to rule (reality). Power corrupts, not just the people in power due to it’s unnatural position, but the people they claim to serve, and it even affects them physically. Let’s stick with actual consent, not some presumed claim to rule due to some arbitrary justification or “representation.” Let’s not vote to enslave ourselves and our fellow man, and think of it as “freedom” and “duty.” Remember, good people create the most evil in this world, despite knowing what is evil and despite generally wanting good (refer to Dr. Stanley Milgram & Dr. Phillip Zimbardo). The art of politics is to say what people want to hear, sound honest but lie, look good or look real, even be willing to question all sorts of problems, but nonetheless, never question Statism or refuse rule. Not voting is not the whole solution, but it is signifying you aren’t a statist, because the real action truly lives elsewhere. Refer to HealthRevealed.org on the detailed psychology of Statism and nita.one/vote for more specifically on voting.


7. Protest & Rebellion & Mass Movements Of Dependence Or Externalization


It is presumed from disobedience that one must stand up and create attention, go out on the streets and make a “demonstration” to the rest of the world. While this is true, you may be taking it too far and turning it into a “protest” or “rebellion” which is often associated with violence, the very thing you probably are against. You may mask it under “self-defense” despite the fact it is on a mass-scale and could be hard to pin-point, but there is a reason why civil obedience or nonviolent resistance exists as a method that emphasizes being “civil” or “nonviolent.” A town or community could come together and simply say “no” continuing on with their own lives, as a form of protest that does not seek attention or try to “look” a certain way. Like the other issues detailed in this article, protests and rebellions will often make problems worse and not better. It creates justification for systems to take down the rebels, and then it justifies rebels committing more “self-defense” in response, leading to an endless cycle of escalation in violence. Similarly, when people are gathered in mass, it is easy for things to get out of hand, and even for controlled-agents to be planted in creating a disturbance for “guilt by association.” Rather than being mad, blocking streets, begging for change, wearing symbols and banners and littering the streets and losing our own individual uniqueness, we should be able to live our lives in peace, and simply stand our ground in this peace, so that the systems which would impose on this may expose themselves. It would be hypocritical for the systems that purport to “protect their people” to violate their “own” people for deciding to peacefully not engage in their “own” system. Order-followers would feel a large amount of guilt, much like the army veteran who suffers trauma from fighting over-seas, yet far worse because it’s their own country. Leo Tolstoy and Henry David Thoreau gave us explicit instructions. Henry said “If a thousand [citizens] were not to pay their tax-bills this year, that would not be a violent and bloody measure, as it would be to pay them, and enable the State to commit violence and shed innocent blood. This is, in fact, the definition of a peaceable revolution, if any such is possible... There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root... If the tax-gatherer, or any other public officer, asks me, as one has done, ‘But what shall I do?’ my answer is, ‘If you really wish to do anything, resign your office.’ When the subject has refused allegiance, and the officer has resigned his office, then the revolution is accomplished.” Tolstoy said “He should, first of all, neither willingly nor under compulsion take any part in governmental activity, and should, therefore, be neither a soldier, nor a field-marshal, nor a minister of state, nor a tax collector, nor a witness, nor an alderman, nor a juryman, nor a governor, nor a member of Parliament, nor, in fact, hold any office connected with violence. That is one thing. Secondly, such a man should not voluntarily pay taxes to governments, either directly or indirectly; nor should he accept money collected by taxes, either as salary, or as pension, or as a reward; nor should he make use of governmental institutions, supported by taxes collected by violence from the people. That is the second thing. Thirdly, a man who desires not to promote his own well-being alone, but to better the position of people in general, should not appeal to governmental violence for the protection of his own possessions in land or in other things, nor to defend him and his near ones; but should only possess land and all products of his own or other people’s toil in so far as others do not claim them from him.” (More on Thoreau https://www.theliberator.us/post/the-american-transcendentalists-~-what-you-were-not-taught and Tolstoy https://www.theliberator.us/post/the-slavery-of-our-times)


8. Defeatism & Escapism & Fear


If I were to give up, I’d probably not be writing this article or doing the thousands of videos, or setting up local community projects and events. Yet, I do this work with my soul. I truly stand with the saying “liberty or death” because a life without liberty isn’t worth living, freedom is the expression of nature and spirit. However, I can understand why people may have a rather dim view upon humanity, thinking there is no hope. We say there are too many “sheeple,” and nobody understands us, nobody is taking action, and these could be very true in different ways but we ought to be careful not to degrade the very people we want to help as with the previous cases in this article. We may also become aware of our own life circumstance, to make sure we aren’t projecting. There is a lot of noise in independent media to just wait for the coming of God, wait for the weather events, wait for the economic collapse, wait for the next election, wait for people to wake up. There isn’t any waiting, there is time for action, right now, and it relies on you. Jim Gale knows this when he speaks about faith, love and courage, and people flock to his message due to it. And yes, while this sounds like hard work or even too good to be true, it can become effortless overtime and certainly soul-fulfilling as you meet others who are open-minded and want change, who are angry and need an outlet to put their energy. Help them focus their energy on solutions, help them heal, be the leader or God you are seeking. That doesn’t mean you create a cult or movement, it means you help people return or seek to what they are ultimately desiring alongside them. Again however, some skew this into an idol-worship, or they go completely off-grid and escape society, build a commune and stay with their own people, but this is not only creating a greater trap or target, it prevents us from reaching the people who need us most. You were close-minded once, or deceived once, so do not give up on your fellow man, and see where they are coming from, connect with them and find their humanity in a world that’s trying to keep it away from them. This is truly an empowering work when you engage more with it. Let’s not be selfish and focus only on our needs and continue to complain about others, let’s man-up and take on the world as ours, because after all, it is ours. If we separate ourselves from others, how could we not expect further division? Love those you want to heal, and see it as such, for then your perception and actions will be far different from conspiracy and sheeple, or run away and complain. Derrick Broze and John Bush are doing great work in this field of “Exit and Build.” Don’t become the soulless person of the artificial world you despise, don’t become the problem you are confronting, show the exact opposite, be a beacon of light, of truth and health.


9. Latest News Andys & Ranters & Consumerism


When I say “Andys” it’s just a twitch-gaming-term for a type of person, and I’m referring here to the person who talks endlessly about the latest news. If the world collapses, the latest news Andys will love to cover all the latest happenings of people going crazy, just to feed the fear more, while claiming we need to change it all because it’s what people want to hear similar to the politician who goes on stage. Equally so, the consumer or audience has become much like this, in constantly distracting themselves or consuming the latest news and videos by different content creators or figure-heads, suppressing their own action and change-making. Even me having to make this article, is a testament to how sad I am in the fact there are all these distractions and problems which are often seen as the exact opposite, nonetheless in the people most vocal or critical of others. We have shadows we need to address, and yet here we are constantly looking at the world around us, unable to look inward, unable to listen to the news of our body or our local environment, or the news of solutions and strategy. Surround yourself with producers, start producing and see where you will be, because it will also be more fulfilling just as it is to transcend many of the problems in this article. This journey has brought you here to this article, midst all the information you have consumed about the “truth,” but what will you do with it?


10. Only-Solution Andys & In-Fighters or Drama-Baiters


There’s another way to seek unnecessary attention other than to do a public demonstration that makes people look bad, and that is to directly make people look bad and directly seek their attention, or to that of their audience. The worst part? It works for clickbait, but generates toxicity in community. In-fighters exist in every community but they hinder progress if still the solutions are ignored and not demonstrated. Perhaps when we criticize another, we may be mindful if we ourselves are doing anything worth criticizing, and what is truly a good spending of our time. We could nit-pick about all sorts of details, but what do we all agree on? What can we do with the whole world that does not understand some of the very basic things we agree on, instead of arguing with each other? Similarly, we could claim we have the “only” solution, as it has even been touted among Natural Law, voluntaryism or permaculture, and even seemingly in this article. However, I want to make it clear that voluntaryism or permaculture isn’t a singular solution, in fact it is a guideline for solutions, a form of ethics or principles. If we don’t understand our principles (from Latin principia), or “first things,” how can we expect to build anything? Any decentralized solution is likely a valuable one, and if it’s voluntary, it’s among voluntaryism, and some spend their whole life on one particular solution and proving it’s importance, but we should be wary to say it’s the “only” solution when there are other solutions among them that often support them. Among the things mentioned in this article, many people will only focus on State Nationals or Zionism or Communism or Capitalism or Flat Earth or even diet, and this fixation with the added bonus of saying it involves the “only” solution is just used as a hook to pull people deeper, to convince them of how necessary it is to look into it. I acknowledge how these subjects can help support voluntaryism in varying ways, but I also acknowledge how they don’t; the latter being particularly important due the overwhelming ignorance of statism and voluntaryism because as shown in this article, there are roots to these ideas, which demonstrates how our solution may not be enough of a solution, or our problems may go deeper than we think. Unfortunately, many people who speak truth about one thing, ignore the truth about another thing, or they don’t see deeper truths about both or neither. And with that, we come to a close on this article.


Conclusion & Real Solutions


This article stands as a reminder, an accountability on part of ourselves. The points in this article will always exist, it’s simply about becoming conscious of them, to emerge into higher and better. To summarize, solutions include anything decentralized, understanding voluntaryism and statism (the root problem and solution), using moral suasion for moral power as the focus (effective communication and education, leadership, as shown in Adin Ballou with his text on The Superiority of Moral over Political Power http://www.adinballou.org/moralpower.shtml), using civil disobedience or nonviolent resistance techniques, networking with others, and showing a better way through “exit and build.” As a final note, know there will always be followers, but there does not need to be order-followers, there will always be problems, but there does not need to be mass-scale problems, and there will always be solutions, but there does not need to be only one solution. I wrote this in one sitting, but I found it urgently important, as I have networked and experienced much in my efforts, so I hope it comes of value to you. I challenge you influencers out there, do you see the path to create a mass shift in humanity?
