As an engineer I have been interested in sustainable design, energy efficiency, and the use of recycled and/or durable material for several decades. As an environmentalist, I have been interested in enjoying and preserving natural spaces, particularly forests.
Today, the neoTerra Blog is starting a new direction. Our Constitutional rights and our Republic are under assault from 'democratic' socialists and globalists. It is time to focus on Sustaining Liberty.
Sustaining planet Terra means nothing if we lose our fundamental rights as free people. I do not intend to save trees while losing my rights and dignity as a human being.
Elitism and the Globalist Agenda
Elitism has always existed. Emperors, monarchs, priesthoods, dictators and university intellectuals have always promoted the belief they were entitled to rule over the common people. Often, two (or more) of these groups collaborated to maintain power. For example, monarchies granted religious orders land and wealth and the priesthoods convinced the masses that the monarchy was ordained by GOD.
With few exceptions, this situation prevailed over humanity ever since the rise of agriculture and the establishment of towns and cities (the ancient Greeks and the Roman Republic being two exceptions).
Today, Progressive Elitism is on the rise. This is not due to any superiority of progressive philosophy which is nothing more than fresh rationalism for age-old tyranny. It is funded by globalists who create foundations to hire armies of lobbyists, activists and 'experts' to promote their agenda. I will provide concrete examples in future posts.
Individual, Unalienable Rights
The United States was founded on a simple belief that governments have no natural right to exist. That ALL rights (and all responsibilities) inherently belong to individual human beings. That governments shall be formed by people for their mutual benefit and that those governments shall only have the rights, authorities and powers that the people choose to grant.
Our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution (and its many refinements through the properly enacted Amendments) categorically reject aristocracy and elite rulers. Our friend, Colin McWay, has written an excellent book on the Constitution. You can find it by clicking on the image. Furthermore, the United States is NOT a democracy to be governed by mob-rule. It is a Constitutional Republic designed with checks and balances to insure that the rights of ALL individuals are upheld. |
A New Direction - Future Topics
The Progressive Elites have intentionally created a number of boogeymen to induce fear within the population and convince people that only by relinquishing their individual freedoms can Big Brother save them from destruction.
Some of these boogeymen include:
- Global scarcity, famine and dog-eat-dog warfare over scraps
- Climate Hysteria
- Spiraling crime
- Pandemics
The globalists have been pushing these topics since the Limits To Growth was published by the elite Club of Rome in the early 1970's. None of their predictions have come true in the past 50 years.
They have succeeded, however, in fostering mass fear. Please watch the following video from The Academy of Ideas for a primer on the intentional creation of fear. When you begin to fear your neighbors more than you fear the government then you are well on the road to serfdom.
