Parallel systems
This is the key to beating the authoritarians - as evidenced by historical examples
Intro
I’ve been writing a lot about this online in other areas, and figured based on the responses received that it’d be worth its own post.
Ask yourself: What happens if those that don't comply with certain 'medicine mandates' get shut out of the usual systems, e.g. banking, grocery shopping, employment, etc.? This isn't a far-fetched idea to consider.
Recall how law-abiding citizens had their bank accounts frozen if they donated to the Canadian trucker protests. Or how many countries required 'the right papers' to enter supermarkets. I, and many others, couldn't work at our current employers due to not taking an experimental medical procedure that doesn't even stop infection or transmission (despite the CDC and other establishment mouthpieces saying it would).
The direction is trending towards a technocracy in this realm – deferring to global institutions such as the WHO/UN/IMF to override domestic policies. Fortunately the Global Pandemic Treaty was shot down, but their intentions are that much clearer now. Unelected stooges with fancy letters after their name will make policy.
One critical way to counteract this trend is to create systems that work in parallel of the establishment, functioning as de facto alternatives for those that won't comply with the social credit, digital ID, centralized dystopia the social engineers are thrusting upon the world. Systems that work on a voluntary association between people - no middleman (government/etc.) needed. No force or coercion, just letting the free-market giving options for people to associate with one another.
Black and grey markets are one embodiment of this ideal.
These systems can provide all of the amenities of what the authoritarians want - medical care, food, etc. - but don’t require a CBDC to pay for goods and services, or a WEF-backed Digital ID in order to participate in society.
I've found that even in the freedom/truth community there isn't much talk of such systems. They want to complain in small pockets of the internet about the problem but never focus on solutions. Many don’t understand the seriousness of what’s coming, let alone the average ‘normie’ out there watching Netflix and ordering DoorDash three times per week.
We need people of all walks of life to step up. It's not exactly easy to put one's thoughts into the public eye but if more people don't start doing the same, as well as building parallel systems, I’m certain that we will lose - the degree to which we lose is uncertain though, but it won’t be an improvement to our condition. The controllers will face no resistance and will continue putting the masses into states of fear, thus begging for solutions which will undoubtedly not equate to more freedom.
Hegelian Dialectic
The COVID hysteria gave a wide opening for the controllers to introduce many flashy new toys from their toy box. They've been waiting (planning?) for the right 'crisis' to hit, allowing them to bring forth solutions that show what benevolent leaders they are.
This phenomenon isn't new, however. It's called the Hegelian Dialectic, or problem, reaction, solution. The problem arises (war, failing economy, etc.), the populace reacts in a predictable way, and then the government/controllers implement the solution. It’s known in Freemasonry as ‘ordo ab chao,’ translated as ‘order out of chaos.’
The solution always seems to end up with those at the top having much more power and control, ever notice that? The so-called temporary measures and infrastructure never seems to go away. As Milton Friedman said,
Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program.
Consider how 9/11 gave rise to the Patriot Act, and we’re still taking off our shoes at the airport. The thing is though, the TSA is a joke and there’s really no risk of ‘shoe bombers’. Reports show from even just a few years ago that in covert tests the TSA fails up to 95% of the time in catching planted explosives, weapons, and/or drugs. These are state-run operations too, done by the Department of Homeland Security, so I imagine those numbers were fudged and the real failures are closer to 100%. Yet those flying in the US are still put through the security theater to fly – it’s all a dog and pony show to maintain the PsyOp. To remind us ‘who’s boss’ while the ruling class has private airports and jets, avoiding the same demeaning acts the 99% go through.
Budgets are created to fund these organizations, office buildings full of bureaucrats are erected, and it’s political suicide to even mention dismantling them.
Instead, so-called conservatives in office that talk of smaller government, never escalate political discussions about drastically reducing budgets for any departments, or outright dismantling them. As Michael Malice says,
Conservatism is progressivism driving the speed limit.
I couldn’t agree more.
As much as I think politicians are useless bureaucrats, to a certain extent the fact is the current system needs them in the foreseeable future, at least until we start to aggressively decentralize. So, we need politicians that actually introduce and gain support for radically reducing the budgets, departments, and general overreach, especially at the federal level. Both Ds and Rs are simply maintaining the status quo and citizens that don’t really this will keep getting what they’ve always gotten – foreign wars, the Federal Reserve, the surveillance state, and continual loss of freedoms. This keeps them from introducing the ‘solution’ of the Dialectic.
The controllers will continue to use this Dialectic to expedite and implement their plans. COVID worked well for them at a global level. It got people more accustomed to a paperless currency system, scanning QR codes for a variety of activities, showing them that they don’t really have control over their body and what goes into it if they want to function in society, increased the acceptance of microchips, paved the way for climate-related lockdowns, the remote work push accelerated the transhumanist agenda (more tech, less in-person interaction and Meta’s vision for the future), wearing ineffective masks to show compliance, and much more. Many of those points are related to each other, e.g. microchips and the transhumanist agenda which is also related to the climate change agenda.
The controllers also failed with this ‘pandemic’ though in a few ways. Many people are at least starting to ask questions. I think the turning point for many was boosters and, subsequently, getting kids jabbed. The talk of constant boosters is seemingly making some ask even more questions too. Trust for these centralized institutions has greatly diminished.
Similarly, 9/11 awoke many people for their deep sleep. The ‘08/’09 financial collapse awoken many as well. A subset will always ‘wake up’ during these times - but we need a lot more to do so.
The PsyOp in Ukraine right now is a litmus test for who the actual critical thinkers are too. If you’re in a western country waving a Ukrainian flag at an intersection in your free time, I automatically classify you as a lemming/NPC/brainwashed zombie.
Sorry (not sorry), but I think it’s important to reach the people that are sitting on the fence of these topics – someone with a flag on the street or virtue signaling about getting their tenth booster shot and still wearing a mask isn’t going to be swayed to the side of truth. It’s likely not worth the time involved.
20 minutes of research into the alternative media could really help sway opinions, which is why the rampant censorship in the main platforms is so concerning.
So, first people need to understand the concept of the Hegelian Dialectic, and then spot it in the future when they can see they're trying to be manipulated. The propaganda is and will continue to ramp up in the future.
And, in a macro sense, realizing that the PsyOps will not cease means those that want real freedom need to build systems outside of the influence of the usual establishment-provided systems.
This is where parallel systems come into play.
What parallel systems are
Part of combating the propaganda and not being manipulated by the Hegelian Dialectic is about building systems independent of the ruling class’ infrastructure. These are called parallel structures/systems, which are essentially a counter to tyranny by building systems and tools to circumvent the establishment.
Consider if one doesn’t comply with a certain ‘medicine mandate’ (as I did, and was forced out of my aerospace career) and can’t access basic services, work a job, see a doctor – how will they function? If they have a community or network that provides food, banking, employment, etc. then they don’t need to be a part of the Beast system further enslaving humanity.
Václav Havel was a freedom fighter from Prague who ended up becoming president of the former Czechoslovakia under Soviet oppression. He was a lifelong playwright that, in 1989, helped lead the Velvet Revolution which helped transition Czechoslovakia out from the Soviet Union. His essay “The Power of the Powerless” details how important the common people are in bringing about change against tyranny, once they operate in truth.
He’s part of the reason I started Global Sovereignty Solutions – the need for the common man to speak truth to power, and help humanity be more free.
Essentially, living within the truth involves robbing the establishment of power by working outside of its nominal control. This might be simply ignoring certain mandates, such as keeping chickens or building a shed on your property when those activities are officially prohibited. Sometimes such quiet dissidents gather together to create what Havel refers to as “parallel structures,” alternatives to state-sanctioned power, which allow the truth-tellers build the “second culture.”
One silver lining of COVID was the creation of some parallel systems. Underground bars were set up, church services were held behind closed doors, communities began bartering, some that were fired for not receiving the experimental gene therapy started new jobs or created their own business (as I did). Just like how Prohibition drove an explosion of speakeasies, the common people must find ways to build such systems in the face of growing oppression.
Living in truth and objective morality requires alternative media to reach more people. The controllers only want one message to be the truth, no matter how flawed it is.
They don’t want alternative treatments to a respiratory virus with a 99.7% IFR – it’s only the vaxx that can save us. They don’t want decentralized cryptocurrencies out of the grasp of Uncle Sam – they want a centralized digital currency. They don’t want people growing their own food – they want people in mega-cities, living in pods and eating bugs.
They want more power, and decentralization of all areas robs them of that power – that’s why they must fight every instance as they spring up. Their truth and vision is more akin to the novel “1984”:
Parallel systems counteract the Big Brother system. Here are some further thoughts from Havel, via the Václav Havel Library Foundation.
Active resistance is necessary because it is the moral and political indifference of demoralized, self-seeking citizens that normalizes despotic power. According to Havel, true escape from despotism requires “living in truth,” which means not only refusing all participation in the regime of untruth but also rejecting all false refuge in the “small pleasures of everyday life.” He insisted that the individual “be bound to something higher, and capable of sacrificing something, in extreme cases even everything, of his banal, prosperous private life.” Contemptuous of professional political parties, which he derided for releasing “the citizen from all forms of concrete and personal responsibility,” Havel dreamed of an “informed, non-bureaucratic, dynamic, and open communities that comprise the ‘parallel polis.’ ” For him, his own community of dissidents offered hope for the future; it was “a kind of rudimentary prefiguration, a symbolic model, of those more meaningful ‘post-democratic’ political structures that might become the foundation of a better society.”
The site continues,
As the main political parties lie in disarray, the dissident, who takes upon her own conscience the burden of political responsibility and action, rather than placing it upon professional politicians, has suddenly become a figure of immense consequence in America.

Solutions
Foreign residencies/citizenships
One way to expand one’s freedom is to obtain foreign residencies and citizenships. I think that over the coming decades, the people that come out on top will have a diversified life – of residencies, means of income, access to different business/markets, investments, etc. Foreign residences offer many ways of facilitating parallel systems.
I have permanent residency in Mexico. While this country is far from perfect and has shower drain covers so cockroaches don’t crawl out, but there are many benefits to the country as well:
The supply chains for various goods are much shorter/more centralized. Think if relations with China and the US continue to escalate, and China shuts off exports to the US. The manufacturing base of the US is depleted, depending on China for many things. This is an example of a longer, more complex, and decentralized supply chain.
Food production is more localized. Many fresh foods are easily available. Related to the above point.
A weakening local currency allows me, earning/having assets denominated in dollars, to spend in a comparatively weaker currency so my purchasing power is further increased.
The freedoms abroad aren’t exactly enshrined on paper, but there are many loopholes and ways to get around obstacles. Money talks. Palms can be greased.
Knowing English and Spanish, I can travel much of the Western hemisphere and be able to navigate fairly well. Traveling to countries and knowing the native tongue is a wildly different experience than just being a gringo tourist looking for cheap beer and tacos.
Diversification of assets. One can purchase real estate, and in many cases this can grant residency too. Bank and brokerage accounts can be opened as well. It could be valuable to have assets denominated in other currencies.

Relationships with farmers and ranchers
Over the past couple of years we saw some areas of the world not allow citizens without the ‘right papers’ to enter stores, or even supermarkets. These places had staff guarding the entrances to check papers and mask compliance.
It’s important to consider the very real chance that similar measures come back, or even if they require use of a CBDC (which might be programmed to only allow spending at markets, or even limit meat purchases in favor of plant-based meat, etc.).
Having relationships with local farmers and ranchers allows one to circumvent the establishment. One can even barter with these suppliers – say if you’re a doctor, you can exchange your services for some local grass-fed beef. These transactions can also be done via various cryptocurrencies or precious metals too.
Better yet, grow your own food if you have space. The outputs can also be bartered with.
Crypto
I’m a believer in decentralized cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin isn’t my favorite but I think it has the potential to be a long-term, relatively well-performing asset. I think it has benefited a lot from the ‘first mover advantage’, but the network effect is continuing to grow. Many institutions have jumped on board, including BlackRock and various US presidential candidates. It’s legal tender in El Salvador.
I’m even more in favor of the privacy coin Monero. It has the best privacy features already baked in, and is the de facto currency in some areas of commerce. The network effect, brought about by its features and utility, give it sustained value and I think much more so in the future as centralized governments increase their surveillance over law-abiding citizens.
Parallel societies can easily adopt cryptos as some portion as their means of managing commerce. CBDCs likely won’t be compatible with such societies, especially as central bankers fine-tune their digital currencies in the years to come which will be backed by the State.
I think of Bitcoin as digital gold and Monero as digital cash. Do your own research and look into diversifying your portfolio with one or both of these coins.
Independent income
As I’ve mentioned, I lost a lucrative aerospace job due to the gene therapy mandates - I had been working remote for 18 months too with no plans of returning anytime soon. This is a good example of the need for independent income, outside of the establishment. Income that isn’t beholden to some empowered diversity hire in HR, or a middle manager that brown noses their way up the ladder and suddenly doesn’t like you for some arbitrary reason.
The internet has provided a wide array of opportunities online, it’s just a matter of finding the right niche. Affiliate marketing, creating a Substack, e-commerce, these are all potential avenues.
Skills to survive the changing world
What skills do you have or can learn to help create parallel systems? Can you offer goods/services to support these systems? Can you hunt or grow your own food? Are you diversified in your investments so that if one egg in the basket loses value you have others to supplement? Are you taking care of your health so that you don’t need to depend on Big Pharma? Do you have income producing assets that will continue to bring value for years to come? Are you reading value-added books instead of consuming mass-media that is programmed to manipulate your thoughts, emotions, and actions?
I ask myself these questions all the time and have tried to position myself as best I can through the methods listed above.
Conclusion
Parallel systems are based on the voluntary interactions of humans. No middlemen such as centralized organizations forcing behavior. No taxes taken through the threat of violence to fund foreign wars/governments and other ventures that I want nothing to do with. It’s about finding like-minded people and creating systems to work in parallel of tyrannical, oppressive systems. It’s about operating in truth and not depending on a political class that only exists to serve itself, not its constituents. I think in the coming years it will become much more important to have such infrastructure built.
Schedule a call now and let’s best position yourself to not just survive, but thrive in the coming years.
For those that value freedom and living as sovereign individuals, parallel systems will only grow in importance.

You are talking about counter-economy , so about agorism. Great article!
Gran contenido hermano!
Just found this thanks to Ratio Bradbornius. Subscribed. As of late sovereignty has very much been on my mind.
Urbit understands sovereignty. Perhaps you are already familiar.
