Greetings Brothers & Sisters, Citizens of the Planet Earth, freedom lovers & freedom fighters. We are the Global Anti-Imperialist Alliance, or the “Rebel Alliance”. We are a collective drawn from all corners of the globe, and all global revolutionary movements. We are Anonymous. We are Spartakus. We are Occupy. We are Ground ZERO. We are the III%. We are YOU, and OUR TIME HAS COME. For too long have we watched, and waited. For too long have we lived & lost. For too long have we toiled & suffered. For too long have the few ruled so very many. This is the beginning of the end for them, while for us it is merely the end of the beginning.
It has become painfully apparent to us that the only way to win this war that has raged between the so-called “elite” and the rest of us, is to organize across all lines and focus our efforts. For millennia, our opposition have established & reinforced their systems of control. For two thousand years, while the climate & scenery may change, the plot & players remain the same. We, along with many activists, journalists & whistleblowers, have released innumerable articles, documents, stories & videos proving the existence of the “grand conspiracy” of the “illuminated elite”, yet the vast majority of our friends & families remain asleep, blissfully ignorant & plugged into the Matrix. #OpAwakeTheMasses. #WWWaveOfAction. #Wikileaks. Jeremy Hammond. Edward Snowden. Chelsea Manning. Chris Hedges. Glenn Greenwald. Barrett Brown. Amy Goodman and our very own @JustinKingNews.. This list goes on and on and on. If we wait for the masses to stir, our time will have come & gone. We have 6 years. After that, their design for this world will be nearly complete. Six economic “free trade” zones, where the banks & corporations reign supreme, with no further need of pretense or illusion of national or individual sovereignty. The signs are all around you. Massive “free trade” agreements that essentially abolish workers’ rights & places absolute power in the hands of the markets and the puppeteers that control them. Resource wars. “Holy Wars” & civil wars. Every state on Earth, disarming their people while arming their military & police forces for wars against the people they allege to “serve & protect.” We have analyzed every op since the birth of Anonymous, every protest & occupation since the birth of Occupy, every revolution since Spartakus and a rag-tag band of rebel gladiators & freed slaves rose up & made Rome tremble. So many questions, one single answer. Those of us that see through the lies of the Matrix MUST unite under a single banner and finish the job, once and for all. We MUST #DeleteTheElite, by ANY means available & necessary. We MUST adopt a common strategy, and execute it using our own specific skillsets & tactics. Each to their ability, in concerted & overwhelming effort. We are Legion. We speak many languages & have our own diverse cultures, but are united by what is common to every sentient being on Earth: an innate desire to be & live free, to seek our own destinies by our own designs, and the faith that a different (and better) world is, IN FACT, possible for ourselves, our families, our friends & neighbors, our communities & our planet. A world where “liberty & justice for all” are more than just words, but true guiding principles. We understand that establishing and maintaining such an alliance requires that, despite our diversity of points of view, we must agree on a few key principles & a common set of objectives, strategies & tactics. We also must collectively accept and embrace a few fundamental facts, some of which may be tough to swallow & the greatest of which may shake our perceptions of reality to the very core. If you are reading this, YOU ARE THE RESISTANCE, and we need your help. Your families & communities need you. Your world needs you. Prepare yourself. The ride is bumpy from here.
PHASE ONE:INTRODUCTION
If we are to be free of our masters & their machines of administration & control, (economic, political, social & spiritual) we must declare our independence from them, a statement not only of words, but of deeds. Waiting or wishing for a monumental event or catalyzing action from some external source will leave us woefully unprepared for the responsibility of proactive self-determination & governance. We MUST take the initiative and each play our individual & collective roles in the establishment of the new world that is on the horizon. We must find common ground, cultivate & occupy it, together. We must establish & maintain our autonomy, as individuals & as a popular movement. We MUST be committed. As committed as we once were to the old, we must be equally so to the new…
PHASE ONE: WAVE OF ACTION II (SUMMERFALL)
The original World Wide Wave of Action called for a 3 month campaign of random & various activities & to reignite the revolutionary flame first sparked by the Occupy Movement & all global movements of social consciousness & cooperation. The results were, at times, alternately quite disappointing and quite encouraging. There were hits, as well as misses, but we can do better & more! Therefore, we are proposing an additional four months of sustained activities & operations, from September through December 2014. Reach out to your friends, family, neighbors & fellow citizens. Share with them the realities of our world & our movement, and find the common ground to create together a path that leads to a free & just future for all in your area. Reach out to current public servants, both elected & appointed, and share your position on the issues & problems at hand, as well as gauging their position on the best way forward. Place an emphasis on organization & fundamental evolutionary progress. Network with your social contacts, virtual and actual, for we must stand united; or we will surely fall, divided.
PHASE ONE, PART I: OPT-OUT & DIVEST
First, and foremost, we must free ourselves of the bonds we have placed upon ourselves that enrich & serve our oppressors:
Move your money out of the big banks and the stock market; put it into local non-profit credit unions and savings & loans.
Use alternative currencies and economic systems like cryptocurrencies & cooperative or resource-based models.
Boycott corrupt corporations (especially Wal-Mart & megacorporate chains) & support local or ethical/sustainable businesses, even if it is inconvenient or a little more expensive, and if YOU operate a small business, treat the employees like partners.
Use alternative energy sources whenever possible, and reduce your usage of energy produced unethically/unsustainably.
Cancel your cable & satellite television and support independent media; if you MUST have them, DO NOT PAY FOR THEM!
Grow your own food as much as possible. Plant a garden or build your own urban and hydroponic farms, or get your food from them or CSA. Avoid the grocery store if you can, or only buy brands & products that share your values. REMEMBER that every unit of currency you spend is a vote in favor of the methods and practices involved in producing & delivering a good or service.
If you vote, only vote your conscience. NEVER cast a vote for the “lesser of the evils” as evil does not deserve your vote.
Use independent online tools that don’t sell your info and protect your privacy. If on corporate social media, use aliases & proxies, and never fill out unnecessary forms or questionnaires or give out your personal details to any but those you trust.
In whatever way you possibly can, withdraw your energy, participation & resources from any institution or enterprise that is owned or operated by, or supports, those who would enslave & exploit you and that which you hold dear. These things can be done anywhere & by anyone. Furthermore, if you cannot, for whatever reason, take a more active part in the revolution, then support those who do in any way you can. Choose to subsidize those who seek liberty & justice, instead of those in positions wealth & power.
PHASE ONE, PART II: DISOBEDIENCE & RESISTANCE
PROTEST. Mass gatherings, demonstrations, marches, parades, flash mobs & swarms. If you cannot make it to a state, regional or national event, then act & stand in solidarity in your own neighborhood/community. Speak truth to power, always.
REFUSE. Shutdown harmful corporate and governmental operations via worker strikes, hunger strikes, sit-ins, strategic defaults, debt strikes, and foreclosure prevention occupations. Avoid paying taxes or fees without adequate & satisfactory representation. Never aid/assist the “authorities”, except in the case of an innocent life in danger or to urge them to rethink their alignment & loyalties. Never obey or aid the the enforcement of immoral, tyrannical or unjust laws. Our governments are illegitimate & have no power but by our consent.
PHASE ONE, PART III: SABOTAGE & SUBVERSION
VIRTUAL. Online civil disobedience, such as Anonymous operations. Research and expose corruption & misdeeds of all individuals & institutions that promote or support the current paradigm. Help inspiring groups and organizations spread their message by sharing leaked information about the pillars of “elite” power. Re-upload graphics, memes & videos, to obscure origin and prevent suppression. PIRATE EVERYTHING!
ACTUAL: Practice guerrilla acts of disobedience: graffiti & tag bank, corporate or government buildings & property; distribute brochures, flyers & pamphlets; hang posters & write messages on currency. Strategic acts of vandalism to assets & property, but only against offending individuals/institutions, and only to hinder their operations & not harm any living beings. BE AN OUTLAW!
PHASE ONE, PART IV: REBEL & REBOOT
To effectively defeat the current paradigm, we must construct a new one that will replace & render it obsolete. Join local community organizations and take an active role. Take part in alternative social services, like food banks, and help develop community support systems. Experiment with new governing systems, like Liquid Democracy, and run for local public office. Host or participate in teaching/learning events; organize socially conscious events create conscious media; commit random acts of kindness and compassion; and start or join intentional and autonomous communities without the interference or oversight of the institutions and instruments of the current paradigm.
Many will recognize most of these suggestions from the original Anonymous #WWWaveOfAction message. Do not merely pick one or two or a few; but DO THEM ALL, or as many as you can. It sets the stage for PHASE TWO, and symbolizes your disconnection from The Matrix. In order to establish a sweeping wave of resistance & rebellion, we MUST divest from the current paradigm, and INVEST in the future paradigm, in every way that is available & possible. Only then can we move forward with our more ambitious projects.
PHASE TWO: INTRODUCTION
Though we may be Legion, we are still far outnumbered by those who are still asleep & dreaming in The Matrix. We are spread all over the world, as we should be, but we must also focus a fair amount of our efforts & numbers on liberating & securing sovereign territory where we can enact our design for liberty & justice, as endowed by our very existence, and a new paradigm of cooperation, progress & sustainability for humanity & all beings on the planet Earth, hereafter known as Gaia. In PHASE ONE, our objective (besides continuing to raise awareness and cultivating a crowd-sourced grassroots revolutionary movement) is to select 24 “startup” locations globally, 12 in the USA and 12 internationally, preferably devastated and/or left behind by the neoliberal global capitalist “Empire” for (r)evolutionary liberation & occupation, with preliminary direct action ops to begin IMMEDIATELY following MMM2014 with an eye on kicking off 8-12 (or more) MayDay Infiltration & Infinite Occupation Ops annually from 2015 until it’s done. The emphasis is focused on the nonviolent tactics previously discussed, and if we fail at that, then it’s back to the drawing board. If “The System” wins, fair & square, because it is inherently more sound, then so be it. However, if our paradigm is locally accepted & successful, then we will occupy & defend it & our innate sovereignty, however we must. We are a peaceful movement, and we desire a peaceful planet, but our opposition does not share that ideal. They have erected & reinforced an Empire through all manner of atrocity, criminal conduct & terrorism. We are a movement for liberty. As the oft-quoted American revolutionary once said, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” Their Empire is built upon the blood of all except their own, even the lifeblood of the planet, itself. We are a movement for justice. Blood demands blood, and Gaia will have her vengeance. We are a movement of stewardship & sustainability, not of dominance & exploitation. As the apex intelligence on the planet (by our understanding) we have a responsibility to preserve her, not only for our own posterity, but for the posterity of life, itself. We are a movement of fairness under the law, by law, for all. We will unseat the existing power structure and restructure horizontally, with equal representation & voice. In today’s technological age, direct democracy at every level, is not only attainable, but fairly simple. If every McDonald’s has WiFi, and everyone gets a vote about who is the next big reality star, then everyone gets a vote on every aspect of their own reality. As a unit (Spartakus) we are of the libertarian-socialist/anarchist persuasion, but have no desire to hold any sway in the direction each community takes once liberated, so long as these prime directives are honored. Every law & penalty must be voted upon by those who will be subject to it, with the exception of a code of a handful of universally accepted laws for any civil society. Specifically, those concerning murder, rape, theft, assault on person or property, crimes against humanity or nature & cruelty or abuse. No one shall ever be subject to laws concerning their own personal safety & security. The purpose of law is to protect us from each other, not ourselves, and certainly not to dictate the details of our personal affairs, public or private. The law should be a common sense code of conduct, not a dogmatic code of ethics. While a personal relationship with the infinite is encouraged for all who seek it, it is a personal journey, and therefore no law shall ever be made or enforced on the grounds of religious faith or morality. No law shall ever be made granting central powers, of ANY kind, to ANY entity or individual: economic, political or religious. We will justly arrest & fairly prosecute any offenders of these laws that are seated in positions of power at the time of transition. We will evict the banks and the corporations, and replace them with economic unions & worker-ownership & operation of large businesses, with smaller & midsized businesses having little or no regulation outside of “better business” principles of ethics & truth in claim, while maintaining a free market environment for all, where cooperation is as valued as competition, and true entrepreneurship & innovation are rewarded while exploitation & fraud are minimized. We will make use of the best available & most appropriate technologies for energy & development & agriculture & industry. Each community will be self-governing & self-sufficient, free to choose its own sovereign path, or to join us as a beacon of hope & inspiration to the rest of the world “behind enemy lines” as a union of global free city-states. Each macrocommunity/micronation will be independent, but cooperatively interactive in the fields of logistics and science & technical innovation & research. We will make public every dark secret of the last 2000 years and expose every myth & lie that we discover along the way, universal freedom of information, especially as it relates to our collective culture, heritage & history. Our ultimate human destiny is out amongst the stars, and can only be accomplished via collaboration & co-investment. First, however, we must get our own house in order, before we can hope to successfully & sustainably embark on such a bold quest. That means all are fed, all are healed, all are taught and all have the final say in their own choice of lifestyle & purpose, according to their own personal merit & ethic. To each his own. Don’t start none, won’t be none. Which brings us to our next evolution…
PHASE TWO: GROUND ZERO
For obvious strategic & tactical security reasons, we can not lay out every single detail of the plan in its entirety, but also because it is ever-evolving. As more willing & able souls enlist in the struggle, and more ideas & solutions are brought to the table with them, our design organically takes on a life of its own. We don’t have all the answers, we simply have a method to unite & execute our best existing ideas & integrate new solutions as they are discovered/presented. 24 locations. There are many candidates, two selections so far: Metro Detroit USA & Somalia (specific site TBD). We want your ideas & input! This is a crowd-sourced revolution, and by reading this, you just “joined the crowd” so to speak, if it is your will to do so. Find the Ground Zero Project page on Facebook & join the discussion. More strategic & tactical news & information to follow. Whatever movement or movements you belong to or represent, reach out to your comrades & share this message with them. We do not wish to hijack your group or assimilate you. We simply wish to facilitate the necessary logistical and material collaboration required to achieve our common objective(s). We do not wish to “be the boss” of anyone. We want to get rid of the bosses. Eliminate the hierarchy. #DeleteTheElite…
