Support networking needed for conscientious resisters – for vaccines, lockdowns and other policies
I think we need to have networks–local or otherwise–of people who are willing to support others when they are cut off from access to income and especially food or shelter because of their principled refusal to accept unwanted vaccines or who refuse to participate in lockdowns or the many other practices that violate their rights, freedoms and personal conscience (such as contact tracing, for example).
By support, I mean a parallel economy that helps people keep on their feet by providing mutual support–that is, an exchange in supplies (food for example) and services (accommodation, labour)–or currency of one kind or another.
Also it would be better for dissenters to be able to locate like-minded employers and landlords.
If you are already building this sort of network, please let others know about it directly and how we can assist and participate.
I will be adding other groups to my website pages.
Since I first posted this type of suggestion months ago, there has been a lot of growth in awareness and numbers, and this is obvious from the protests and from the online presence in social media of those who are resisting this COVID regime.
We are on the verge of needing this kind of networking urgently–and it’s not even clear how many have already slipped between the cracks and died in isolation–since information is so heavily filtered now. I don’t think that is ever going to be clear except if people are communicating with each other effectively. I think the “big picture” has gone dark for all of us because of the one-sided media. Practical issues call for one-to-one communication directly to the person we are concerned about. Sharing social media messages with a group is valuable, but no doubt messages often get ignored and lost, even with email.
It would be a good idea for people to note down on paper basic contact information–email, phone numbers and addresses–others are willing to share with them–of course using common sense to get references to make sure they’re not a scammer or worse.
Internet access could be removed quickly from individuals if new restrictions are introduced. Even now, power outages and other problems knock out Internet access for many rural people. And there is an increasing level of censorship and an intimidating environment online as many know.
On a personal note, I am going to keep going based on reader support and on other means of independent income–such as providing practical assistance to people (locally or otherwise–I live near Paris, Ontario, south of Kitchener).
I am unable to accept and tolerate certain practices anymore that violate privacy and personal freedom of action. And I feel that it’s best for me to just do what I feel I should be doing.
These businesses out there–should be refusing to comply with measures that just destroy their own businesses and their lives and the lives of others. If everyone could just spend most of their day and time working with people who are of the same mind, and resisting these unconstitutional measures, and joining forces to share information with others, and putting a halt to these measures, this is what we really need.
Nobody should just be going along with building surveillance systems and privacy-invading testing and making vaccines that the people didn’t ask for and don’t need. If you’re doing these things, what kind of future are you working for? Do you know?
I plan to post frequently–much more information–as much information as I can and to provide content that is of value and interest.
When you find content of value to you, please see if you can donate an appropriate amount.
And I plan to step up the information-sharing–to get information out to people directly through different means. But it will take funds to do that. Let’s share ideas and look into doing more with flyers, and possibly mass mailing, etc. I think this is the priority, this is what we need to do–to reach as many people as possible through different means–especially about our concerns over the vaccine. If you’ve been doing this sort of thing, it would be good to hear from you, maybe there are ways to work together or combine resources.
Thank you to all supporters, readers and friends for your encouragement. I am thankful for the friends I have.
I know that all of us will need encouragement, prayers and practical support in the days, months and years ahead–as we work to preserve what is real and human.

Thank-you!
Thank you for your efforts.
I think networking is a must. I am searching for this kind of initiative for weeks now with not much luck unfortuantely. I’ve gone through several alternative and decentralized social networks like Gab, Minds, Pocketnet etc. There are a few alternative news sources to find there, but not a lot of ‘normal people’ trying to do anything about the situation in my opinion. Which is even more depressing especially since there seems to be zero awareness among the people in the place I live in (not Canada).
I think there are a lot of technologies that could be used in the situation we’re in, especially decentralized, open source, crypto currencies and other block chain based technologies.
The first steps should be finding a right, censorship proof place to talk about this as a lot of people are still using legacy social media like FB or twitter that are being censored, monitored and should not be considered safe.
Thanks Adam. There is an encrypted parallel system (Internet, using blockchain and rasperry pi is an option) that Corbett and others have talked about if you want to look into it, I’m sorry I have forgotten the name of it and will try to dig that out, maybe you could look into it and help us understand how to work it. But there’s no perfect secrecy anyway because networks can be infiltrated by people anyway, so people have to talk to each other anyway when they need help, that’s my point with that. And maybe start doing it now, getting local contacts together on hard copy for themselves and not sharing the info with anyone else unless there’s a need. People in FB groups responded positively when I posted on this, some very intelligent people out there in various groups with same attitude about all this. And I think people have opposite opinions about using social media which is obviously their system which they control. My attitude is that they’ve been sucking up all electronic data for decades now using Echelon etc. It’s true that the more encryption the better but they will always try to go after it, to ban it. There are backdoors in the OSs, they’ve always snooped on mail even. And people are at different levels of tech ability. Public push back means push back that is quite open. We’re still trying to push back openly. Some information we want to keep private but when people need help they’re going to make noise hopefully. Let me know if you find out the details. Thanks.
Hey Alan. That’s new, I never heard of that. I will definitely do some research about the raspbery pi thing.
There are a lot of different options. A lot of them very new and known mostly by geeks. It takes time for the new technologies to gain popularity. We may not have much time though. That’s why I think it is a role of those of us that are a bit more tech savvy to educate the others. Even using crypto currencies seem to be an ‘alien technology’ to a lot of people I know, so there’s some work to be done here.
As for os’es and and hardware being compromised with back doors, unfortunately that is what I heard as well. Although, It may be paralysing to think that we are pitted against something omniscient, after all there are a lot of technologies that are clearly hated by the controllers like privacy crypto coins for example that are still around and seem to be unbroken.
Social media is a broad term. I am all for diversification.
Searching for different decentralized platforms may be a good start. Few different ones, so there’s always an alternative place to reconnect if one platform gets compromised. Maybe there are already similar groups over the internet that could be connected together.
I will definitely be getting back to you if I find anything promising.
All the best.
