I can almost hear them now...
"Oh Gosh. Really? Eliminate government? But, but... Don't we need it? For this, that, and the other thing?"
Yes, really. And no, we don't. I didn't start out as an anarchist, but the more I looked, the more I saw that, beyond being unnecessary, government is generally a bad idea.
I'm not saying we wouldn't have problems if we didn't have government. What I AM saying is that all our biggest problems are caused by it. You may ask, "Is there not some form of government we can adopt, that will only be beneficial and can never be corrupted?" As an answer, I would ask if you have ever heard of such a government, and whether you really think that's possible.
Out there in our galaxy, the other sentient beings must have come to some kind of collective understanding. Being more advanced and more experienced than we are, if not more intelligent, we can assume that they learned their lessons about government long ago. Maybe they have some kind of system they can teach us, that actually works...
...and maybe that system involves personal responsibility and self-governance.
My 1967 edition of Webster's defines anarchy as "the complete absence of government and law." Chaos, on the other hand, is defined as "any great confusion or disorder." Somewhere along the line, people began to equate anarchy with chaos. In fact, if you go to Dictionary.com, you will find "Political disorder and confusion" as one of the entries. Then, if you use the thesaurus feature, you will find 'anarchy' and 'chaos' as the first synonyms listed for one another.
Something tells me that government encourages us to think that life without it would be chaotic. Certainly they approve of the word 'anarchy' holding a negative connotation. And, though several examples of successful anarchies exist in history -- their downfall invariably being the introduction of government -- we can't expect our children to learn about them in government-sponsored public schools.
If they didn't have governments to play with, how could the power elite wage wars?
Please read The Argument From Morality (Or how we will win...) by Stefan Molyneux here: http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig6/molyneux7.html
Quote: "The ability to wage war requires that politicians retain the right to steal from certain citizens to pay other citizens to murder people."
Cities exist as corporations. They are run much like businesses, and it is not difficult to imagine them continuing on in the absence of a State and/or national government. In many municipal areas, citizens are not taxed for water, sewer, police and trash collection, but pay monthly fees. Their transition from municipal government to 'municipal services corporation' should be a simple one.
You might ask how roads would be built, and who would maintain them, without government. Toll roads would be one solution, but that goes against our basic freedom to travel. Would large corporations not step up to sponsor highways? Could advertisement sales not pay for maintenance?
My point is that an anarchic society does not have to descend into chaos. People are very resourceful. Imaginative solutions will be found for the new problems we'll be faced with.
The larger a government becomes, the tighter its grip will be on its people. Where the State professes to serve its people, the opposite becomes true, and the people become unwitting slaves of the State.
Please read Who Are the Realists? by Roy Halliday here: http://www.libertariannation.org/a/f41h2.html
Quote: "It is precisely because we are aware of man's moral weakness that we want to make the powerful machinery of the state unavailable to evil men."
Right now you might be wondering about the title of this blog. Nation of Earth? Can we have a nation without government? Yes, we can. The first definition in my '67 Webster's for 'nation' is "a stable, historically developed community of people with a territory, economic life, culture, and language in common." The third is "a people or tribe." We may not all speak the same language, or use the same currency, or enjoy the same culture -- and we probably don't want to -- but our shared territory is the surface of Earth, and like it or not, that makes us one people.
We need not fear other Earthlings just because they are different. Fear in general, for that matter, is something to be avoided as vigilantly as government. Governments prey upon our fears in order to exact their rule over us.
That, by the way, is the definition of 'terrorism'.

When the Levee Breaks
_____
Lizzie Douglas, better known as Memphis Minnie, was born in Algiers, Louisiana, in 1897. Led Zeppelin's 1971 recording of her song, When the Levee Breaks, came some 42 years after it was first etched in vinyl.
If you have no idea about what life was once like in Algiers, or in nearby New Orleans, it might help to rent a movie which recently came out on video, Skeleton Key. Watched it myself the other night and came to a realization...
Now, this won't make a lick of sense unless you accept that someone out there is using weather control as a weapon against the people. This has to do with 'their' agenda.
You may ask, IF such technology exists AND is being used in this manner, why target New Orleans? Beyond the obvious geographical reasons, there is something else -- something much more significant.
Let's begin with a couple of raw definitions from Dictionary.com:
voo·doo
1. A religion practiced chiefly in Caribbean countries, especially Haiti, syncretized from Roman Catholic ritual elements and the animism and magic of slaves from West Africa, in which a supreme God rules a large pantheon of local and tutelary deities, deified ancestors, and saints, who communicate with believers in dreams, trances, and ritual possessions. Also called vodoun.
2. A charm, fetish, spell, or curse holding magic power for adherents of voodoo.
3. A practitioner, priest, or priestess of voodoo.
4. Deceptive or delusive nonsense.
hoo·doo
1.
1. Magic healing and control, especially in African-based folk medicine in the United States and the Caribbean. Also called conjure.
2. A practitioner of hoodoo.
2. Voodoo.
3.
1. Bad luck.
2. One that brings bad luck.
4. Geology. A column of eccentrically shaped rock, produced by differential weathering.
Yes, here we go deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole, further and farther from what 'normal' people discuss, and into serious intangibility. Bear with me...
As previously mentioned in this space, some of us have been doing what we can to mitigate the effects of engineered weather (and triggered earthquakes). This is done with our minds, and with help from the spirit realm.
IF there is a group in charge of engineering weather, and IF they know that human thought, with assistance, is capable of disrupting their plans, striking at an area where voodoo and hoodoo thrive would be an obvious strategy.
Voodoo, after all, is about keeping balance with nature -- and 'they' are in the business of disrupting nature.
It has been said that 'they' planned to turn Hurricane Epsilon into a crazy winter disaster for the southern United States. Well, we're just not going to let that happen. Their counterparts in earthquake triggering wanted to hit California hard last month -- with help, we kept those efforts from becoming more than tremors. Next on the agenda are a series of quakes in the Mississippi Valley, along the New Madrid fault line. They won't have very good luck with that project, either.
Shortly after Memphis Minnie and her second of three husbands, Kansas Joe, recorded When the Levee Breaks, they moved to Chicago.
Members of the Unified Settlement helped foil plans to stage a 'terrorist' attack on Chicago's Sears Tower once already, nearly two years ago. Wheels have already been set in motion to prevent 'their' second attempt, scheduled for on or around Easter 2006.
You don't have to be able to see and touch things to know that they are real. It's all there in the music, if you listen.
From http://www.led-zeppelin.com/ :
When The Levee Breaks
(Bonham/Jones/Page/Plant/Memphis Minnie)
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break, (X2)
When The Levee Breaks I'll have no place to stay.
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, (X2)
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home,
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well.
Don't it make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home,
You don't know which way to go?
If you're goin' down South
They go no work to do,
If you don't know about Chicago.
Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.
All last night sat on the levee and moaned, (X2)
Thinkin' about me baby and my happy home.
Going, going to Chicago... Going to Chicago... Sorry but I can't take you...
Going down... going down now... going down....

Recipe For Disaster
Many are of the opinion that this world is on a path to destruction. Even the most optimistic among us will have to admit that things will most likely get worse before they can get better.
At this point we ask, "Why is this so?"
There is a theory that government is a bad thing, and that it can only become worse as it gets larger and more influential. Read Disproving the State (Four arguments against government) by Stefan Molyneux here: http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig6/molyneux4.html
If government is detrimental to human existence, and is more and more so as it becomes larger and larger, how do you suppose it is affecting us today? In our time, government is poised to claim total dominance over the lives of everyone on the planet.
If you, the reader, do not see this encroaching threat, it is because government has a way of manipulating public opinion. Far worse than that, it has a tendency to keep secrets -- and the bigger the government, the bigger the secrets. If you think for a moment that those powerful and influential secret-keepers aren't going behind our backs to institute their New World Order, then perhaps you have been distracted by something else. Don't feel bad -- the power elite are very good at giving us lots of distractions.
When you consider what kind of person it takes to become even a minor player in the environment of world domination, when you catch a glimpse of the greed and disregard for human life that darken the souls of the power elite and their minions, you begin to understand the peril. To put it simply, they will stop at nothing.
Read The Great 9/11 Magick Trick by Doug Yurchey here: http://farshores.org/dy19.htm
That article, by its title, may seem like nothing new to some of you, but I recommend it anyway. Reading it may help you explain things to others.
Who am I? What is the Unified Settlement?
I'm just someone who saw that there wasn't enough being done. I saw a possible solution to our problem, and the Unified Settlement is it. We are all settled here on the surface of Earth. This is our home. Unless enough of us become unified against what government plans to do, the power elite will succeed in their plans, and the entire planet will be claimed by one global State. If more wars are needed for that to happen, more wars will be started. If martial law needs to be implemented, excuses will be found to implement it.
I repeat: They will stop at nothing.
Among the secrets they keep from us are technologies capable of triggering earthquakes and manipulating the weather. As evidence to the latter, I present Hurricane Epsilon and the sheer number and strength of named storms that have shattered previous records. Never in history have they run out of names and had to begin using Greek letters, and now they've used 5 of them.
If more disasters are needed, for whatever reason, more disasters will be created.
Or, at least, attempts will be made to create disasters. We don't have to allow that to happen. Some of us are doing what we can to put a stop to their efforts.
Much in the same way, we don't have to allow the power elite to continue taking away our freedoms. Government is supposedly in the service of its people -- those of us who see it isn't must alert our neighbours. If our governments cannot be made to serve us, perhaps they should be dissolved.
People are perfectly capable of governing themselves.
The Unified Settlement, though it is a global organization, does not seek to govern people. As founder, the only reward I expect is that which will be shared worldwide. I do not wish to be crowned Emperor or appointed to a global Presidency. I do not, for that matter, wish to be in a position of leadership.
Founding the Unified Settlement was simply something I felt I had to do. Continuing with its development still feels like the RIGHT thing to do.
It's not too late to turn the tables.
