The soul provider

Some people are so highly employable that the moment word gets out that they don't have a job, there are offers flowing in from everywhere.

I first discovered this video on the www.truththeory.org. This website is very good at illustraing where we are globally and what we can do about it as individuals right now.

Have you stopped to think, why it is the banks and the government have so much power over the general population?

We agree to pay unreasonable taxes and unreasonable charges on energy and financial products because we find ourselves without a choice. We have to use their system to obtain and continue to receive basic life maintaining resources. Their system is based on money.

Without a bank account and card or cash we cannot buy gas, electricity, council tax and water utilities, we cannot go to the supermarket to buy food and we cannot pay for bus or train tickets to get to work or get home. We need the money system to buy clothes and shoes and to obtain dental and eye care. In fact basic items such as paracetamol or hair care has to be obtained by using the financial system that we have no choices over.

If we removed the financial system that is used by the government and the banks to control uss, then they lose their power to control us.

I can hear the reader sighing, easier said than done! Well actually now, we can empower ourselves and while it may take some effort to unravel ourselves, we can do it and today is the day to start. I would suggest having look at the one act a day page to get yourself going. This is particularly valuable not only for the unemployed that feel financially trapped, but even for those that go to work everyday and are either stuck in a dead end workerbee job for a large corporation or have work satisfaction but feel financially cornered.

To make a start, I'm going to suggest the following buy a packet of seeds. You can even do this online. If youre enthusiastic, buy one packet for every available windowsill. If you're on unemployment benefit, then start small but remember planting a packet of seeds that enables you to provide something to eat that would cost you ten times more to buy is the very first step to doing something for yourself!

Once you have done this number one step to self sufficiency, make a list. remember that you have skills that dont require a certificate that can make a huge difference. many people dont value their own worth. can you sew a button, or stictch up a gap in a seam? Yes? Then you can sew. Have you ever put flatpack furnitire together? yes?Then you can assemble furniture. What about skills that you havent thought about? Welding? Soldering? Can you do basic woodwork? Graphic design?

Make a list of what you can do like this.

1. Cooking 
2. Baking 
3. DIY 
4. Radio enthusiast 
5. welding 
6. soldering 
7. knitting
8. car repair
9. hairdcutting
10. babysitting
11. dog walking/grooming

All too often, too many of us are finding ourselves unemployed with no source of income. Most of us are prepared to put in an honest days work, for an honest wage. If you have joined the ranks of the disillusioned you have found the right spot in cyberspace. Just like you I am the 99%

In order to take back our world we need to understand and accept that it is controlled by money and those who have the money and control the money essentially have the control. This does not mean that we - the 99% will never have control. We can take control and here is how.

Remember that 99% of the money and land is controlled by 3% of the population. When we stop spending money with those businesses that benefit the 3%, we are effectively redistributing the liquid wealth across a wider group and enriching the 99%. There are many ways to reduce the power of the large companies, and thus those that control them.

1.  Stop shopping at the big stores. As soon as your money enters the till at the likes of TESCO, Sainsbury's and ASDA, you are feeding the coffers of the powerful. Admittedly there are times when you have little choice because they also control the availability of certain products, but even when you have spend money with the big guys, there are ways to make sure they make less profit. Start buying your meat from the local butcher, greens from the local grocer. Dairies often offer local delivery and your local corner store will soon enough drop prices, the more people that buy bread from them. Get your birthday and Christmas gifts from local small businesses.
2. When you have to buy from the big companies, use an affiliate link. You must however be sure that the link belongs to one of the 99%. There are alot of affiliate marketers out there reducing the profits of the big 3%. The more you use them, the less profit the big stores make, thus spreading the wealth. Many smaller websites such as ours link to the larger companies, forcing them to pay commissions when a customer buys a product through the link.
3. Become active in passive protest. If half the country refused to pay their gas and electric bills for 90 days, it would cripple the energy companies. They need the cash flow to pay their employees and run their businesses. If their liquid capital dried up, it would force them into a position where they have to reduce prices. These things need to be done carefully. The energy companies would just as quick cut half the nations supply, but if we were prepared for it, took action 45 days each side of midsummer, heating would not be an issue, and loss lights a minimal inconvenience.As long as we were supporting local businesses access to fresh food would be easy and there are many ways to store milk and butter without electricity.
4. Share the word. If everyone who reads this shares one affiliate link or one protest notice with one other person every day, and the person they share it with, passes it on the message tree grows exponentially and we take away the power of the few as we gain momentum.
5. Recognise the 99%. The 99% are not only the homeless and jobless. Amongst us are new graduates, minimum wage employees, small business owners, lawyers, physiotherapists and doctors. Share with them, some will respond others will not, but share.
6. Do one thing every day. Every time you buy something, if you can do it do it online, either with a small trader or an affiliate link. Talk about it at work, at the job centre and at school. Discuss it at the dinner table. Only one thing a day.
7. Name and Shame. Our society is filled with 99%ers that are willing to do the dirty work of the 3%. these are the benefits agency and HMRC spies, the Social workers and other powerful professions that care only that they get their paychecks at the end of the month and that if the people they target go hungry - well tough. Parking attendants are not welcome in my shop. Why? because their job leads to the daily misery of others. Many are paid on a quota basis thus tempting them to dishonestly fine drivers (AS has happened to us too often to mention). There is nothing that a parking attendant does to make my life better. They serve only to enrich the local authority which withholds funds to support my disabled child's education, and they do the same to you. They choose to do this work, so I choose not to welcome them onto my business premises. I may a lose a few pounds here and there, but those that they hurt choose to shop with me first and it makes up for it. - Big Time.
