Tulsi Gabbard: Hope and Change 2.0
SHOW NOTES AND MP3: https://www.corbettreport.com/?p=31543
Yay! Another politician seems to hold a correct opinion on an important policy issue. Time to give up on those silly anarchist ideals and vote for the CFR member who's right about one thing (and wrong about a lot of things), right guys? Well, maybe not. Joining me today to discuss the important issue of Hope And Change 2.0 is Carey Wedler of The Anti-Media.

What a great conversation between you and Wedler. I am deeply impressed by your grasp of the factual issues and rational approach to our circumstances today.
I was literally startled when the word decentralization came up. I see you both understanding that it is the solution to centralized power and the impossibility that solutions to the problems centralization necessarily causes will be surmounted by increasing centralization. I hope then that my comment here will be understood completely in that context.
Decentralization is freedom. It isn't the route to freedom, it literally is freedom. Centralization isn't merely a vector for oppression, it necessarily is oppressive. Technology is presently demonstrating the laws of the universe, physics itself, are creating more decentralization and making freedom ever more powerful in delivering prosperity and peace to individuals that centralized institutions must destroy to effect political power.
I was a firm supporter of Ron Paul, but I have come to understand that even were he and his provable integrity supreme commander of all political power in the world, he could not fail to oppress free people by exercising it. Even when political rhetoric is heartfelt policies that extend freedom and prosperity, they cannot surmount the oppression that centralization effects. Every attempt to do so necessarily decreases the ability of the institution to achieve it's work, and as has been noted long ago, a house divided against itself cannot stand. It will succumb to corrupt competitors for power whose rhetoric isn't heartfelt, and whose policies increase the power of the institution. We saw this with Obama, and now with Trump. Gabbard could only prove this too. Centralization can only decrease decentralization, and increase oppression.
The facts are: individuals producing goods themselves with decentralized technology, and communities cooperating to provide essential services, are being availed the necessary means of reducing centralization in every industry, as the cutting edge of technological advance is increasing decentralization in all of them. You and your guest are examples of exactly that being done today in media. Technology always increases the power of individuals versus instutions, because technology ultimately decentralizes power. While it may seem counterintuitive that technology decreases the power of institutions, it is true nonetheless.
Only recently dreaded facial recognition technology that is a threat to all our freedom in the hands of government and massive institutions like Fakebook was used by a developer to compare porn clips to social media posts, and demonstrated that individual possession of FR tech enables communities to exert that power for themselves. Regardless of the particular iteration of that specific application, this demonstrates that the technology itself increases the power of individuals - even potentially against covert ops undertaken by corrupt government itself. Cell phones that so create surveillance power for institutions have just been used by captives in Belmarsh prison to enable video of Julian Assange to be made public. If slaves in prisons can gain so much power to speak freely with that primary weapon of the surveillance state, it is impossible to fail to recognize the increase in individual power technology delivers versus the most oppressive institutions that have ever been developed.
By adopting decentralized technology and means of production in every way that is profitable to individuals in their particular circumstances, the freedom and prosperity of those adopting individuals is being increased. All the machinations of would be overlords cannot repeal the laws of physics. Their indoctrinations and propaganda can only seek to keep us from grasping that their parasitization of our production empowers our enemies to wield power over us, and drains us of our essential profit from our personal actions. Making our own goods and services ourselves directly decreases the power of vampiric overlords they must drain from us to gain.
The only thing that can prevent the ultimate cessation of that power over free people is our extinction. War is the worst enemy of freedom. We would empower our enemies by using their weapons in a misguided attempt to take them down, as all revolutions throughout history show. We will utterly destroy them by waging peace and prosperity instead. Using our production to oppress us has already gradually decreased as decentralization of means of production has increased, and all we need to do is stop depending on goods and services centralized industry and institutions sell to defeat political oppression. Peak centralization has passed, and today the freedom and prosperity of decentralization is increasing.
You and Carrie's personal production of media and news directly decreases institutional power to propagandize and deceive us by providing truth instead that we can support instead of the enemedia. Every 3D printer someone uses to make their own widgets does the same thing to industrial institutions feeding banksters. Every biohacker using CRISPR does that to Big Pharma. Every home gardener growing their own organic produce does the same thing to Big Agra, and so will every person adopting aquaponics. Mesh networks are forming to destroy the centralized internet employing the censorship that is intended to prevent our understanding and dissemination of the truth of our sovereignty and freedom. Censorship is always an act of desperation, and the best revelation of the weaknesses of those dependent on our power for their own. It is the truth they cannot allow us to know that will set us free.
This is how we win: we stop buying the products that the power to produce has been extorted and parasitized from us to make, and that purchasing and using but further increases that parasitization that centralization and overlords are utterly dependent on, and make our own. We do the same for the services we need, including electricity, security, and health care. As we do we increase our prosperity, and create a legacy our children will inherit, along with the stars themselves and the entire universe at their feet.
All we need to do to win against our evil overlords is not serve them anymore. Diversify, distribute, and demonetize the centralized mechanisms that deliver our power to them, and then all we have to do is ignore them until they go away. We will do this and set free from pathological delusions of grandeur those that lust for wealth and power over free people. It is the prosperity and freedom we each seek that will cause us to adopt those decentralized mechanisms best suited to our personal needs, and the myriad means we will undertake are beyond the ability of centralized institutions to prevent. It is not only media that is essential to your personal success prosperity James, but every 3D printed widget, CRISPR modified plant producing pharmaceuticals in a home aquaponics system, and solar panel printed at home that increases the prosperity of the community that can throw more financial support to you.
Thanks!
