Breaking the illusion of a 2 party government

Imagine wanting the naive undeveloped past unlike the dread of the now with the fear of the future. There is going to be a lot of beatings of dead horses. Fuck your nostalgia. Fuck the good ol days. Fuck the fascist futurist future. I want to look forward in the direction that is not the cliff. I mean they got all the money... of course they could push out a turd sandwich.. it could be better but the self appointed plebs pay no mind while those with no blinders on pull out their hair. I am the bad guy.

1.4 Mission Statement The mission of the company is the well-being of all people. To accomplish this goal we will operate business ventures designed to generate income through which we can secure our own well-being and consequently become empowered to help others.

Today we are witnessing the spectacular failure of Capitalism to provide for the needs of this planet and the people on it. In previous eras of class instability, the focus was often on the bifurcation between those who wish to dominate, and those who wish for a world without domination. While the ideals of a world free of domination are admirable, its proponents face the cold reality that those who specialize in domination are able to accumulate more power than those who do not seek it.

This need to dominate is typically associated with hierarchical organizations, and for good reason as they are the mechanism that allows individuals to accumulate unconstrained executive power. However, rather than trying to dismantle hierarchical systems, our collective recognizes them as an essential tool for problem-solving and productivity. We intend to capture and incorporate hierarchical management into large, democratically owned and managed cooperatives called “Strategic Unions”. This will enable organizations with similar power compared to today’s capitalist corporations, but with social equity and Article 1.4 as their most fundamental goals.

The plan is to deploy open-source Enterprise Resource Planning software to coordinate the efforts and voting that will take place in the co-op. You then recruit like-minded workers from your area to join your server and begin organizing and holding elections. At this point, workers in your cooperative will put forward business plans and become candidates for CEO. The members vote based on the candidate and the business plan, and the person who wins is not a dictator. They are a mandated agent of the co-op, and they are removable by vote. Their job is to coordinate the business project according to their plan in order to generate revenue.

After elections, you incorporate as a Strategic Union, which means filing Articles of Incorporation as a C-corporation in your state. You will then have bargaining power in your area based on the size and specialization of your workforce. You can use the Master Staffing Agreement template to negotiate labor contracts with local businesses. Your co-op members are hired out full time, so the member-worker gets a paycheck in a similar arrangement to a staffing or temp agency. The co-op gets paid by the hour and the amount left over after paying the worker (the margin) funds the CEO’s business plan. This allows for capitalization without capitalist investors. It’s a “bootstrapping” process, meaning the first business plan is self-starting. Once the staffing contracts are no longer needed, they are dropped.

Following this plan, you don’t have to work at the same business to organize a union. You set up your server and organize with whomever you like.

We are asking you to take on Article 1.4 as your personal mission and join our efforts. Or, we could ride the crapitalism train to wherever it may be headed. Your choice my friends.

These are MKUltra-style techniques. The basic idea is to track the persons habits and movements then put suggestive messages or even meme-type information in their path in order to fuck with the person.

They aren't designed to "inject thoughts" into someone's head or anything silly like that. The goal is to confuse the person to the point of panic, so that they become paranoid and irrational over time.

There is a fairly unremarkable office building in Arlington, Virginia. If you drove past it tomorrow, you probably wouldn't even notice it. No security gates. No giant corporate logo. Just another nonprofit office tucked between apartment blocks and office parks outside Washington D.C. Inside that building is an organisation called the Atlas Network. Officially, it's a charitable nonprofit that supports independent think tanks around the world. But over the last forty years, this one organisation has quietly helped build a network stretching across more than one hundred countries, trained thousands of political activists and policy experts, connected them with billionaire donors, and celebrated governments implementing its ideas. Most people have never heard of it. Maybe that's exactly why it became so influential.
