The levelers and the diggers of the United Kingdom are the most grounded people here

Out of all the reform movements the most authentic of them I could find were the leveller's and the diggers of the United Kingdom. 

I spent many nights with them under a railway bridge, on a common somewhere, anywhere where they could find some common land to live on.

At the time I was arrogantly trying to promote the fiscal policy known as land value taxation to save the world's problems. 

They didn't agree with an lvt and I was surprised because I thought it did exactly what they were asking for. 

What they were really saying to me was that it was an absurd idea that anybody could own anything at all because ownership or property rights are never seen anywhere in nature. This thing called ownership. 
 
I was annoyed at the time because though I knew deep down they were right, I had no response for them and I thought I knew everything already, like a typical activist.

By the way, I am no communist, an ideology which tends to capture people you find within the levellers and the diggers movements - the agrarian people. But not all of them.

I earned their respect, I found them authentic because they got this insight about ownership. That ownership is an absurd idea and they taught it to me as something new, an insight. 

So though politically I didn't really agree with them I found, that out of all the land reformers including the Georgist movement of the world, they were the most authentic of all because they lived by that principal literally.

Which is a true principle.

PETITION: Government to Indicate Countries of the UK Are Open to Accede to the US

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious conversation to addres...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado - The 2026 Great Recession

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle always culminating in a financial crisis and great recession. The 18.6 year astronomical period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this and had been measuring it for aeons. And the politicians of the time used it to name the day when the economy had to be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because they noticed around 19 years is as long as an economy can survive when being unjustly abused by its people. Any longer making it too late to recover on its own. And without the reset much worse effects emerge. They knew this. They did not know why. They j...

The 450 Volt Truth: From Orwell to Obedience

A Complete Thread on Dystopia, Milgram, and Breaking the Agentic State - Why People Act Irrationally and Often Violently When a Tribal Social Structure and Its Hierarchy Are Brought Under Serious Scrutiny This is a tricky topic. Please read the Obedience Glossary of Terms before proceeding Executive Summary This piece was written from a long conversation with Grok. I had to interrogate the AI quite a bit. And was astonished at how it produced such intelligence. I've included the most pertinent parts. Do not be fooled into thinking this is just another Orwell analysis. That is just setting the scene well. For what comes later on the agentic state and how power uses it to control the masses.  It may not have all the answers. It might wrong. A lot of it is very hard to believe is happening. But it still seems to fit the bizarre world of system wide dissonance we all live and partake in today, better than all the alternatives. So deserves your continued attention. By all means make yo...
