Hi, Dean. Lots of good ideas there for getting by and not supporting the matrix. I especially like your idea of purchasing tools from one of the big box stores and then returning them after a few months for a full refund. Your reminder that we hold on to way too much stuff is so true. It doesn't make us happy.

Here is another quote by Henry Thoreau:

"Simplify your life. Don't waste your years struggling for things that are unimportant.

Don't burden yourself with possessions. Keep your needs and wants simple and enjoy

what you have. Don't destroy your peace of mind by looking back, worrying about the past.

Live in the present. Simplify!" Thanks for the reminders, Dean!

Those two lines "Don't destroy.. past, Live in the present" reminds me of the Stoic dictums "Give up thoughts of revenge, don't suffer imagined sorrows"

I like you spunk Dean. I wish I had thought of some of those things when I was off the matrix. Not off grid, off the matrix. I still don't buy new things. I even buy second hand electronics and I don't have a cell phone or a car. I think our kindred spirits ought to have databases that show appreciation for those who go the extra mile. Without records, we cannot build. And on our own we are only going to have a modicum of impact. Plus one of the upgrades for evolving to the next level the level where we are out of the illusion. The illusion is the opposite of sovereignty. I guess it means slavery, and also domination over each other and/or other creatures. We're like cavemen in Armani's.

Great ideas! My wife volunteers at a thrift store where people throw away brand new items. Shocking! My clothes and the majority of household items she captures for darn near free. Cheers Dean

Dean, I can't adequately describe my pleasure in reading this. It touches on everything I believe and practice. I slink between (invaded by rich) towns and my own ('working class') town. The skips in the former often harbour valuable pickings. Sometimes my town too yields riches - but you have to be quick.

Concerning the latter, a corner cottage (where an elderly life-time local had passed on) was being stripped for rental by a matrix firm. I managed to haul all her ancient wood (they were dumping) into my car. It's now sorted and waiting to be remade into whatever I choose.

That is one small and recent example of a wonderful a raison d'etre!!

Thank you for all of yours, plus tips.

Love it.

Great advice, which I already practice, most of my clothes & even shoes come from second hand or church bazar (jeans for $2.-). About Craigslist and other such apps, it has become nearly impossible to sell anything there because of scammers, clowns who use the platform to harass, prank, don't show up at the meeting point & time, insult you, call you at 2 a.m, etc... it's not worth the effort and then putting up with the hassle. + never get anyone to come to your place to view an item, meet at a busy parking lot. Thanks for the article. Barter is the way.

Thanks! You're right about Craigslist anymore. I wrote the book 11 years ago. Now it's all gone to Facebook Marketplace. The only way to deal with that Mossad devil is to start a fake account with a fake name to temporarily to sell your shit, then delete it.

Tundra Swan's avatar

Actually that's what I did a while ago, but still got scammers. But you're right, I never use my real name and mail through the app only, no phone #

Good piece. Your Thoreau quote “Material possessions are a positive hindrance to the elevation of mankind”." reminds me of Rudyard Kipling's line from "The Man who would be King"

"Beware of overconcern for money, or position, or glory. Someday you will meet a man who cares for none of these things. Then you will know how poor you are,"

Many great tips on how to starve the satanic beast, Dean. Thanks.

I am not perfect, and have many regrets, however, If I call myself a "cat", I am not a cat. So I would not call them "illuminated", just as some calling themselves "Jews" or "Christians" are not, but lie, probably me too sometimes.

If they do not follow compassionate hearts, and if they do not fall down at my feet to serve me, as I am willing to serve these sinners, at their feet, they are not "Christians" either. Rev. 3:9.

And there is only one other thing I cannot agree with completely, in my own mind through meditation trying to be "illuminated", and that is "borrowing" stuff from the raving satanists, because that might be seen as naughty stealing, and might be immoral?

Their immorality, stealing by creating currency out of thin air, which is stealing in my opinion, does not make stealing from the satanists ok, in my opinion.

And such immorality might make some of us hooked on beastly things in there, things we really do not need, and should work out to solve without those gadgets, preferably without external electricity, and maybe without electricity altogether, when we are motivated to go hard core, like the animals in the forest.

Why? Well. Because, otherwise, you might suddenly get a new electric meter, inducing your house with s.c. "Dirty electricity" or you will need satanic stuff in order to produce it ... I say while at my computer, probably with dirty electricity flowing into my father's house ... Not very "illuminated" actually, but I have an excuse. I want to organize people, also digitally, in order to stop the satanic behaviors and create a broad Rainbow Coalition for Peace, Real Democracy, Truth in media and People's Courts.

Another reason not to borrow/steal is of course the s.c. "face recognition" by the satanists, and the cashless fraud they are introducing, in order to get totalitarian control, effectively blocking you, unless you can get help to do it by the slaves of Satan, within the beastly system.

I looked at Mike Oehler's 50 dollar house btw. Might be a very good idea actually, considering all the drone wars, and could starve that satanic beast even more effectively. Mike made one mistake, concerning the runoff of water, and solved it elegantly and logically with his awesome design.

A rocket burner, channeling the hot smoke under a huge sofa, seems like a great idea as well, not that you really need it underground, but when the next ice age comes, it might be great the first years, living off your stockpile like a squirrel, before you realize you have to get out of the ice and go south.

And btw, I believe that all satanists, including Satan himself, are satanists because of fear and other things, creating misunderstanding. Us watching satanists do heinous things, can cause anger, making ourselves do satanic things, instead of feeling pity for them, trying our very best to save them from eternal hell.

I may have sent this to you. I felt as a fellow of the white clan you will find some humour here.
