As movements grow, human interaction becomes more compressed, heightened, and led by the rationale of emotion as opposed to the practical concerns we are all endeavoring to overcome.

On right-leaning groups, there is a tendency for individuals to develop territorial defensive tactics, to ‘finish off’ a perceived threat by severing all ties with this entity and further attempting to sabotage this entity’s continued credibility, a ‘credibility’ which is so vital to operating within the machinations of ‘activism’ in America today, as experienced on the right.

We are so anti-hierarchical that in our constant insistence to ‘be the ones in charge’, we willingly stomp on, degrade, and set to proverbial fire the very people who share our most vital core principles, beliefs, and callings.

We have been looking for something, something which captures the full expression of underlying political, economic, and spiritual rage that exists in this nation, something that seeks to get to the core needs of these equally unhappy parties.  Groups like Puma, Conservatism in Exile, Kennedy Democrats, etc are emerging on both sides of the political spectrum (and all points in between).

These are de facto, and unwilling, separatist movements.  The Puma name expresses it the best- Party Unity, My Ass.  But both the elephant and the donkey are riddled with their own flavors of PUMAs, a core group of individuals who feel that the Obamarx is a direct threat to their very basic freedoms.

But are any of these groups talking to one another?  Hell, are any of these groups within the same political band talking?  No.  The disunity is wide and embarrassing.  Success in this world is measured by how many members of an email list you have, as opposed to the amount of folks you have in your group, team, etc, that is, quite simply, DOING!

We at the AFN have put forth our ideas.  We have given you a fair snapshot of the types of teams that we want to build across this nation.  We, from the very start, stated that if you could find an organization that was already building a nationwide network of local newsblogs that become virtual community centers that become brick and mortal (or straw bale or adobe) which shine spotlights on those who assume to control our money and our resources, which brings self-reliance, autonomy to each community through victory gardens, buying clubs, shared babysitting, help with home schooling, security issues, etc.

If that organization does not exist, then folks, come ye forward and help us BUILD IT NOW!  If that organization already exists, then let’s everyone meet over there and help them BUILD IT NOW!!!

As our group grows, as human interaction begins to become heightened, the tendency is for this group to suffer the fate of many other groups in the past, the fate of fratricide.  As we go forward, we will all of us find situations in which we have crashed into someone’s personal territory or have had our territory encroached upon.  It is a measure of the Freedomist Movement as to how we allow our sovereignty-guided instincts to prevent us from remembering that we are

AT WAR!

You don’t have time for personal territory when you are at war.  You don’t act like a businessman when you are at war.  The tendency of business is to guard, to keep secrets, even at the detriment of society, especially if those business principles are carried out in a time of war.

You share in times of war.  So, for instance, for the members of AFN that DO, members such as Tricia Cuningham, Cassandra Troy, myself, my brother Bill Collier, Mike Carrl, and more, I am willing to share my personal territory with them in ways that, in a business environment (and I hope someday we have the luxury of that environment in the future) I would never do.

This is not to say that we want all your stuff, but rather, if and when those inevitable territory clashes occur, it is imperative that, as quickly as possible, we define our territorial boundaries, accept the invasions we feel we must accept in the name of war, and get back to freaking work.

I am writing this, and I will read it, possibly, on Monday’s 57^th State, because our group is experiencing very real growth.  We are about to engage with one another in an intense crucible.  We will invariably piss one another off for something.  Outbursts of anger are probably going to occur, most of which will be triggered by events that had nothing to do with the outburst in the first place.

When we swim in flames, as we are all doing in these times, our internal fires get to the surface a whole lot easier.  What we must say to ourselves as we embark on building our network is that we have only 10 weeks, 10 weeks to have the lights turned on in Washington, to track every move they make in their attempt to use legislation to finish us off, legislation like the Fairness Doctrine, Global UN Taxation, further illegal seizure of private property by the government, the funding of leftist youth thug groups.

If these are not enough to keep your eye forward, instead of averting it to protect your personal territory, then you cannot build an army, you can only build a wee citadel in the middle of the Obamarx Empire.  Good luck with that.

We are freedomists, we are Americans.  We are at war against an illegal government, an interloper, who must be watched, even as we build real freedom, the freedom to take care of your own and your neighbors with your OWN ingenuity, resources, and NETWORKS!

So decide whether you want little citadels, easily crunched by that big, fat glimmering boot dripping with oil’s crude black, the big boot Obamarx, King Obama. 

As for me, the work I do here does not enrich me in an monetary way, nor does it satisfy my vanity, my personal pleasures in any way, save for the opportunity I have to engage in dialogue with intelligent people who speak very well, and who, quite frankly,. are simply fun to dialogue with.

But, despite that one source of selfish bliss (I am a talk slut), I am not here for that reason.  I am here to build, build, build.  If I must be a citadel, then I will tackle that reality as I can.

I have started my own virtual community center, the Lincoln Park Virtual Community Center (LPVCC), am going to start digitally documenting my city council meetings, school board meetings, etc.  So I am already beginning to build for my neighborhood.  Who is building for your neighborhood?

This Novemebr 15^th, two Saturdays from now, the AFN is holding a Citizen Blog Meeting, where we will show folks how to start a newsblog or a virtual community center (I’ve chosen to start the VCC first, where I live).  We have all we need to start building.  We just need you folks to join us.

Joey Daubin has a network in Ellis County, Texas.  My brother Bill is starting a newsblog for Marysville, Pa.  We have many folks interested.  We are waiting for you to start building.

Folks, we have 10 weeks, just 10 weeks to get ready for Obamarx.  Do you think that the Obamarx is getting ready for war?  Of course they are.  Are you?  Are we?  Will you defend your personal territory if it means losing your entire nation?

Write me, Paul Collier, at [1] pc@writepaulonline.com.  Let me know what you can do NOW!  Then we’ll talk on the phone, and we will find a place for you in the network that we will ALL own.
