3366 - The Amish know the truth
By Anna Von Reitz - translated from: roland.
We grew up in a world that preaches of the "global community" and in a sense we are all part of a global community of people trying to live and improve our situation according to the lights we see.
We also keep hearing about "global interdependence" and that one country is dependent on other countries and that we must all try in good faith to get along with one another. That is also true - as far as possible and on a large scale.
What has gotten out of focus in all of these grandiose and large-scale discussions is the relationship between self-determination, independence, and self-sufficiency. You cannot be independent if you depend on others for things that are important to your survival.
And if you are not independent, you cannot go your own way either as an individual or as a country.
By becoming dependent, one gives up one's ability to determine and manage oneself. One is reduced to the lowest common denominator of need.
Take an urgent and immediate example - the new cars coming out this year have dozens of computers built in to perform all sorts of functions. All of these computers have circuit boards, memory chips, and "modules" that can fail and render the car unusable.
And guess where most of these modules are made? In China.
One small mistake is enough and your brand new $ 85.000,00 wonder car can become a safety hazard or be parked indefinitely while you wait for overseas parts.
It doesn't matter if we lose access to French champagne, but in many ways the “global village” concept has undermined our security and independence. Our workforce is no longer prepared to jump into gaps and we are exposed to very real dangers.
What we have gained in performance, we have given up in terms of security - the kind of security that comes from doing things for yourself, maintaining your own abilities, and shaping life according to your own ideas. Be independent, in other words.
Americans tend to appreciate words like "independence" and some even believe they are independent, when in practice very few of us are. If the lights went out tomorrow, most of our population would not know what to do and our dependence on electricity would quickly and painfully become apparent.
Most American households have no emergency candles or oil lamps, back-up heating, or access to independent water wells - and these Americans would literally be left in the dark and cold, with no water and, if it was too long, no food.
The Biden administration came into office and promptly destroyed the energy independence that Trump had created. They shut down American oil production. All in the name of a cleaner environment.
But what actually happened? Instead of burning oil, the power plants were forced to burn coal - and all coal reserves were reduced to near zero. The coal mines have already sold all of their 2022 supply and there is no end to the political and economic madness in sight.
Here in Alaska we are told to expect $ 1100 to 1500 a month this winter to heat an average home. Take a deep breath and tell me what you think of such an increase in house heating bills? - because, adjusted for local conditions and the cost of transporting fuel, everyone in this country is facing a huge shock in energy prices thanks to Mr Biden and others, and we are all facing huge spikes in gasoline prices, food prices and food shortages.
All of this is the predictable result of a “political policy” that has nothing to do with reality.
The Biden Government's Response? The distribution of money packages of $ 3000 each in hundred dollar bills, marked “Covid 19”. But that has nothing to do with “Covid 19”, and sooner or later, when inflation gets out of hand, someone will find that using cash doesn't work.
Many years ago, the Amish community looked at the electricity grid and realized that if they followed the flow of "progress" they would become dependent on others for electricity. And once they become dependent on electricity, they would lose the independence they need to manage themselves.
And once you lose the ability to govern yourself because you've become addicted, everything else can be taken away from you.
So they said - basically - thank you, but no thanks. We'll keep our horses and our fields. You all just go into the dark like that. We know how we make our own
Growing food and taking care of our own home. We don't need someone else's electricity for that. We already have enough bills.
All these years the Amish have been viewed with curiosity and sometimes derision. People drove by in their ever faster cars, honking the patient Amish horses, staring at the Amish peasants' self-sewn clothing and viewing the Amish as a strange, possibly eerie anachronism amid all the glitz and biz of the modern world ...., but the Amish got it right.
They knew, and we all should know, that if we become dependent, we lose our freedom. And to the extent that we are dependent, we become enslaved. We lose our ability to say no.
It all boils down to this simple fact: whatever we cannot do for ourselves, we have to pay someone else to do it for us.
When these suppliers of goods and services decide to go out of business, or we can't pay them anymore, or there is no coal to replace the oil and the power producers go down, or the truck drivers go on strike over gasoline prices, or the unions go on strike for higher wages , or the dock workers say: no, it is no longer worth it ... then we are stuck, freezing and starving in the dark.
Unless a hell of a lot of people wake up with a jerk and bump into the Biden administration and members of Congress and CEOs of big business and fake state governors where it hurts. A lot of unsuspecting Americans are going to suffer this winter, and all the “helicopter money” in the world is not going to change that.
While they turn their thermostats down to 55 ° F (about 12-13 ° C) and crowd around that one fan heater that glows faintly in the dark and nibble on stale crackers, wondering what the hell happened? - They will have to look closely at the 2020 elections, but they will also have to deal with more fundamental decisions that have already been made.
The Amish, like the ants in the story of the grasshopper and the ants, chopped their wood and mined their coal, loaded their wagons, repaired their barn roofs, sewed their quilts, harvested their wheat and apples, made their cider and pickles dig up their potatoes. When the lights go out, they light their oil lamps. When the snow comes, they throw another log into their wood-burning stove.
You will no doubt wonder what strange madness has befallen the rest of the world.
