Chapter Three: Meetings

An activist group is not likely to be successful unless a sufficient number of members are able to work together to plan, discuss problems, and make decisions about solutions. These activities are difficult and it’s easy to go wrong.

SNCC had a way of conducting meetings that they valued very highly, championed for the local activists, and guarded zealously against change. It came to be called “participatory democracy,” although they did not use the term themselves.

Here are the main principles of SNCC’s participatory democracy.

“Think of the Trump era as a prison riot. In any maximum security prison, the prisoners know they can’t escape, but they can definitely raise a little hell now and then, which they tend to do when they get really tired of being abused and neglected by the prison guards.” The Nov 3 Great Election Theft and subsequent FPX Dictatorship is to remind us who is actually running things.

That's All Folks!

But in the real world there is always another show:

Only You Can Beat Big Tech Censorship

I recently received an e-mail from a reader of my latest book, Live Not By Lies, who said that the book was saying exactly what needed to be said right now, in this extraordinary moment for traditional Christians and political conservatives.

I would have normally thanked him, and let that be that, but this was no ordinary reader. This was from an experienced military intelligence officer, now retired.

He knows what he’s talking about. He’s also a practicing Orthodox Christian, husband, and father to 5 children, and describes himself as “an ardent supporter of data privacy and preserving our Constitutional freedoms.”  Here is his warning to all of us.

[FPX] was inaugurated a week ago, and like the dictator his handlers have long yearned to install, his has started out as a cruel administration.  His 22 executive orders so far, more than any other president in history, have already sent tens of thousands of jobs down the drain with coldhearted carelessness.

As all those who opposed his candidacy suspected, he is doing China's bidding.  Of course he is; the Chinese own him.  Every single person he has appointed to his Cabinet is aligned with China as well.

It took the Obama administration a year to do this much damage.  This crowd, believing they have absolute power in every sense of the phrase, have set about implementing the transformation of the U.S. from a democratic republic to a communist -fascist oligarchy.  In a flash, there is no more freedom of speech or assembly.

Here’s the official company line promoted by establishment Republicans to defend the outcome of the 2020 presidential election:

Of course the election had some irregularities like all elections but nothing that would change the result and, by the way, the country needs some major election integrity reform before this happens again.

This is the conundrum created by election fraud deniers in the GOP.  One cannot simultaneously defend the integrity of the 2020 election and call for new laws to ensure election integrity.

By refusing over the past few months to acknowledge, let alone address, provable instances of voter fraud, Republicans now find themselves between a rock and a hard place.

Just the other day he stood up to the tedious hyper-partisanship of ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.

And yesterday (1/26) in the Senate – as you can see above – he weighed in, to great effect, on the impeachment farce, although I suspect it wasn’t just his impassioned and eloquent speech, a point of order actually, that swung 45 Republican senators to his side.  There was something else too.

Chapter Two: Recruitment

One person can start the work of creating a local activist organization.

A person who does this work by our method will be called, with respect for tradition, a field secretary -- because that is the title used by the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).

Recruiting in a Nutshell.

Field secretaries can perhaps be best described as expert specialists in startups. Their main job as the instigators of an uprising is to go into a community (or campus), find the right people, and get them talking together in a meeting.
