Here’s a story: A now-distant cousin of mine and I went on a trip together as kids, we were both around 8 years old. We had visited the Redwoods. A few years ago, 40 years later, I met up with this cousin. His version of the trip was that the car broke down and we had to spend a whole-day at a little old motel, while the car was being fixed. My memory of the trip was how awesome and captivating the giant trees were and how we could drive through an actual tree with our car. I didn’t even remember the car breakdown part. My cousin said he hated the trip. Back in those present moments as 8 year olds, he created his reality, and I created my reality. We are responsible for manifesting our own realities, it can be good, bad or other. Guess who is the optimist today?
Creation may require some destruction e.g. cutting down a tree to build a house, but wholesale destruction by government of freedom of speech, freedom of association, etc. in the name of 'protection' is only ever been a control operation.
A wonderful and comprehensive article. It demonstrates not only logic, but reason. Living by such axioms encompass compassion and lead to the lessening of suffering and the increase of tolerance and peace.
Bullies with very odd mental make-up have steadily garnered wealth and power callously to restrict and control individual freedom - and maim and kill.
Bob's artwork is priceless in its expositions of tyrants and their lies. No wonder they try to suppress its publication!
Paradoxically, the vicious edicts of recent years masquerading as necessary social policies, have spawned a growing awareness to resist. I hope we reach a critical mass to undermine those who would enslave their fellow men and women.
This a fantastic article and is just what we are fighting for here in Australia just to keep our core values and Australian why of life. This is so inspiring because it evaluates everything I feel truly in my ❤️. Thankyou for Thursday morning guidance.🇦🇺🇦🇺
Governments do not really serve the people they claim to represent - upon closer scrutiny they are a tool which functions to first of all maintain control over the populations and extract wealth for the sole benefit of the financial elite - from that aspect it's a racket while the wage slaves are none the wiser, they just work harder and harder in order to save ''something'' for the future.
Even the people who are fighting corruption keep saying bullshit like wait for RFK to do this or that. No.
The truth doesn't need to be sold. It sells itself.
The main issue is that we have to shift from left hemisphere dominated linear thinking which boosts "future" narratives into a balanced approach where the right hemisphere "here and now" also gets addressed.
Otherwise, we will keep on following "prophets" and "gods" which are not as aware of reality as we thought.
This must eat at you, showing us our weaknesses and no one wants to look. I have never owned a cell phone or been on social media so I understand your warning. Young people know computers. They are building their own new continuity. The old and new seem incongruous in nearly all regards. New language, genders, reality seems absent and history has been rewritten. The future's continuity may no longer be influenced by past generations. While we fight for our natural, or "old" ways they continue trying to destroy us. Doctors now deny that pain exists unless you have cancer. Listen carefully to drug side effects, many are deadly. Think of how they lied about Covid. Consider the injuries from the experimental Covid-19 mRNA vaccine that they keep denying... Our allopathic medical community are some of the worst offenders and we should all be very afraid. You, my friend, have been watching.
Well said - up to a point. The present moment is the only moment we actually have. Jam tomorrow is never jam today. We cannot 'save' the planet by destroying it. Be the change you want to see. It has become harder and harder to persuade people that a life of debt slavery is worth it for the promised future. So we have reached the stage of coercive capitalism. People must consume in order to survive at all.
The current dire situation has I think arisen because of an addiction to power and the wealth that buys power. And the more power you have the more addicted you become and the more terrified of losing it. The planetary environmental crisis makes the rich panic about losing control. But even the 'moderately prosperous' (however you define them) fear losing their comforts, convenience, status.
Capitalism creates wealth and therefore power for the few by creating demand for goods and services. It is therefore based on creating scarcity, driven by fear. Supplying these supposed 'needs' produces dependency, If life is a struggle to survive and dominate, it is individualism: 'hell is other people' (Sartre). Capitalism aims to produce the maximum personal profit and minimum cost, so it seeks to destroy all competition and secure all resources. As little as possible 'trickles down' because that is a cost. So automate, employ as few people as possible, as cheaply as possible. The weak go to the wall. And avoid responsibility: that is the purpose of the limited liability company.
Early capitalism delivered a middle class of relatively well off people who the poor could be encouraged to aspire to join. It was not done by sharing wealth from above but by exploiting the poor and the planet - first at home, and then abroad. The apparent wealth of the middle classes was however generally an illusion: it was really debt - the mortgage, the bank loan, the hire purchase agreement, the credit card. It was only available to those who agreed to work for the rich and do as they were told. There was some jam today, but never enough. The consumer treadmill had to be kept going by never being satisfied.
For a growing number of people the present is just miserable and 'improvement' out of reach. These 'human resources' are of no use to the rich, just more mouths to feed, there is nothing more that can be extracted from them except perhaps to fight and die in pointless but profitable wars. If you have been thrown of society's scrapheap, continuity is the last thing that you want.
What 'protecting the present' means depends on what you want to protect. If it's an unsustainable lifestyle or status at the expense of other people and the planet, it is not going to create a good future, only more exploitation and destruction. For you too, 'continuity' is not going to work out.
The future you might actually need has to have a firm foundation in the present by being the change now.
David, thank you for such a wonderfully written and blatantly obvious description of what is happening to humanity. Even some of the Covid cult members should be able to relate to it set out in this manner. Bravo sir! And thank you for fighting for us.

So true!!
Creation may require some destruction e.g. cutting down a tree to build a house, but wholesale destruction by government of freedom of speech, freedom of association, etc. in the name of 'protection' is only ever been a control operation.
Destroy your freedom today, and one day you will be free.
Destroy prosperity today, and one day you will be rich.
Destroy families today, and one day you will have stronger communities.
It has never worked that way. It never will.
Love this. Shared. Thanks.

Brilliant, the authors logic is outstanding
Governments do not really serve the people they claim to represent - upon closer scrutiny they are a tool which functions to first of all maintain control over the populations and extract wealth for the sole benefit of the financial elite - from that aspect it's a racket while the wage slaves are none the wiser, they just work harder and harder in order to save ''something'' for the future.
More crystal-clear writing on our predicament and potential, by David Fleming. Continuism needs a conference!
Thanks Niall. Worth considering!
Even the people who are fighting corruption keep saying bullshit like wait for RFK to do this or that. No.

Who's future?
Your future takes your present with it and builds it.
An imposed future shows itself up by trying to break your present so that you have no past to build on obviously. So then it's not your future.
Isn't Zionism an imposed future? Like capitalism global?
Our future... what do we want to be for and to ourselves for the future and change we want? That is grassroots thinking.
Reset the hearts before resetting all else. 💖
Has anyone studied the Qur'an? You find NO clash between it and the ideology of continuity.
Extraordinarily clear essay and guidance. Love it. Thank you 😊
Thanks Mike

That's great David. Thank you so very much.
The only prevention I practice and the only one that really works is eating healthy, exercising and keeping a positive mind.
What a wonderfully written article. So, so true. Now all we need to do is to live by creating a good and free present and the future good will follow.
