How we work together to fix the societal issues that are hurting everyone
Introduction
About this Book: About A Community Route
Whatever brought you here, A Community Route is for you.
The purpose of this book is to provide a reference tool with guidance and suggestions for individuals, groups and communities who recognise the need for change in the way that politics, government and decision-making works in the UK and around the World.
However, A Community Route is also here for those of us who already accept that a fundamental transformation of the way the World works is underway.
A Community Route is here to bring focus to the common ground that lies between the great many different ideas and interpretations of societal and economic change that is both unavoidable and necessary.
A Community Route is about what WE, all of us, together, must do now. As we journey and travel through this period of turmoil and change.
Then, what we do to establish a completely new way of living and being for everyone, as part of a new and very different type of system that lies beyond.
A Community Route is driven by the need to move beyond assessments, conclusions, proposals, plans and solutions that are just another set of subjective ideas that only have value through the lens of experience shared by only the few – whoever the few might actually be.
The objective of A Community Route is to begin providing the objective framework, understanding and awareness necessary to open the door to a future that will be defined from the grassroots-up, knowing that the reach and relevance to all of us of everything that is necessary in our real lives can only be achieved from solutions created by looking through a lens, shared by all.
All the problems we have and all the views we have about them matter the same, whoever we are
Everyone’s view of what is happening in the UK and across the World today is important. Even if the view that any one of us has, isn’t a view that recognises the need for change that exists.
Each of us and those we identify and stand with today might consider the solutions to all of the problems we have being related to a priority or a pressing issue such as one or more of the following:
- AI
- Brexit
- The Cost-of-Living Crisis
- Democracy (or a lack of it)
- Digital Tyranny & Control
- The Elites (WEF, WHO etc.)
- The Financial System (Who controls money and how)
- Food Security (Grow your own, localised production)
- Freedom of Speech
- Globalisation (Or Deglobalisation)
- Healthy Living (Basic Foods)
- The loss of Values
- Media Manipulation
- Money (or a lack of it)
- Net Zero (Green & Climate Policy, LTNs, ULEZs and 15 Minute Cities)
- Political Parties
- Technology
- US Hegemony
- The War in Ukraine
- Wokeism, Political Correctness and Minority Rights
Or it might be something entirely different, which will come from a VERY long list.
The immediate problem that we face is almost everyone, like you and like me, believes that the solution(s) we ourselves see as being the way to address the problems we all face will be exactly the same as everyone else who is ‘awake’ does. And that everyone else will – once those other people wake up, see the problems and the solutions that we need, in exactly the same way.
So, someone else – in fact many someone elses, are also out there, expecting you to forget what you are passionate about, just as you may be expecting them to do so right now.
They see the solution to everyone’s problems as being their own solution. They are expecting you, me and everyone else who doesn’t agree to change our minds and fall-in behind whatever it is that they see.
The Mountain of perception that we have to climb and conquer before we will succeed
It is essential that every one of us understand and accept that in isolation, tackling any one or just a certain number or even a fraction of the problems that need to be addressed will not be enough.
Cherry picking the issues that we ourselves believe to be the most important will not be sufficient to facilitate or even open the door slightly’ to the comprehensive and meaningful change that we must now have. IF we are to achieve the goal of creating a future for everyone that is balanced, fair and just for all.
One view or just a handful of views will not engage all of the people and the whole communities that they are part of in the way that we all need them to become engaged. IF we are to have a fighting chance of achieving the kind of change that we all so desperately need throughout the UK and across the World.
Whatever your specific view and the view that you share with others who share that specific view might be, that view will not be devalued or cancelled out by recognising, understanding and accommodating the different views of others. Quite the opposite in fact.
It is by recognising and then implementing the rules, systems and procedures that will work for us all to facilitate fairness, balance, justice and freedom for everyone, all within a clear governance framework – but by not allowing anything more – that we can create a future that will allow and encourages each of us to be happy, healthy, human in all relationships, and at peace with who we genuinely are.
It is only by launching, developing and evolving a framework of rules that allow real democracy to grow, flourish and thrive – and to then protect those principles in every genuine way that we can, so that we will be able to live the kind of life that we want to do so.
We must be able to exist freely and unhindered, without our own freedom hindering others, and within a societal model that correctly puts each of us and our humanity first.
Why do we need A Community Route
You are here because at the very least, you know deep down or unconsciously that things in our lives are changing and that no matter how ‘normal’ everything around you now appears to be, there is nothing ‘normal’ about any of it.
You know that things have been feeling less and less ‘normal’ for a very long period of time.
The chances are that you are both a rational and sensible person and that whether it’s politically correct to say so or not, you possess what we used to feel free to call common sense.
However, it is just as likely that you cannot consciously see anything changing or deviating that much away from what you think of as being ‘normal’. That anything that seems out of sorts, will somehow be resolved. That everything will return to being how it always has been – just like it was before.
The hard reality that we all face is nothing will ever be the same as it has been.
Furthermore, we must also understand that the kind of change that is now underway, is happening, bit by bit, and in steps or in stages that in themselves will appear to arrive very quickly. But are nonetheless taking place one at a time.
The truth that we face is that when the moment comes that the majority of us awaken to the reality that substantial change has already taken place across society, we will already be facing a situation where we no longer have the luxury of time to rationalise why everything has happened as it has.
We will not be able to press pause on events so that we can consider what steps we then need to take. IF, that is, we want our future to be one that is genuinely free, where we all have freedom of choice, and where health and happiness are the new ‘normal’ for everyone.
Balance, fairness and justice, with humanity in our relationships is voluntary. It must therefore be a reasoned choice.
And that means people must be ready to lead the way and be the voice of reason that many other people will need in the immediacy of the moment when the direction of the world switches and through chaos, we all find ourselves facing a very different way.
A Community Route is here to help you and help your community once everyone is awake. But it is also here to help you and those within your community who are already awakened or are awakening to what is happening around us now.
A Community Route is about respecting and protecting what we have in common, so that everyone has the same freedom to choose
Finding our way to a future where everything is balanced, fair and just for all, may in the first instance sound as if it’s all about making lots of different rules or laws.
What we must accept and understand is that this is exactly how the World around us acts right now.
We have government at all levels pursuing more and more rules, to support and enhance the rules that they already didn’t need to set for us before.
We have an entire system of government and a public sector that is obsessed with creating laws for laws sake, taking responsibility for more and more areas of life that they have no right to, just so public servants can justify who they believe themselves to be.
Anarchy and the non-existence of any rules or laws are the opposite extreme.
Whilst there will always be those who will argue that being able to do whatever they like without fear of punishment would be a much fairer world to live in, the reality is that for everyone to be genuinely happy, healthy, safe and to feel secure continually and all of the time, there will always be a need for a system of governance or rules set by the community, for the members of that community, to ensure that everything that affects other members of that community is always balanced, just and fair.
Real freedom at a personal or individual level, is the freedom to be, to do, to think as we wish – without any of that freedom encroaching or interfering with the same right to freedom for every other person.
That freedom covers many different things and is a world in itself.
But the world of freedom that is personal to us all is dependent upon factors that will always sit outside of ourselves and outside of our control, when it comes to our interaction with everyone and everything else.
It is to ensure that these outside influences always remain fair, balanced and just in their influence upon us, that a framework of rules, based on principles and values for a people first and values-based life must be created and then protected to ensure that it always exists.
Frameworks work. Micromanagement just puts creates a bigger mess
Frameworks For Freedoms
The point sadly missed by many is that the solutions to the majority of the problems we face are not for any one of us, as individuals, to find answers to, or to come up with the right fix.
Today, we have specific groups, whether that be politicians, banks, businesses, elites or others, attempting and in many cases succeeding in dictating public policy and so-called solutions to problems (That their behavior has usually created). All on the basis that they believe their ideas are best for everyone.
Regrettably, although many of the speakers and well-known influencers who recognise the need for change have their own ideas and solutions, and often appear to provide alternatives, these ideas are also made in isolation.
As such, the results from electing an alternative set of politicians might appear different.
But if we were to simply exchange what we have now for what loud voices and false prophets are offering us instead, we would inevitably end up with many more problems that would only get progressively worse.
The end result would at best be exactly the same as what we have and experience now.
People and their Communities must be supported to make all of the decisions that affect only them.
Amongst those decisions must be the selection and appointment of those public representatives who will represent that Community when decisions are made about anything else.
Regrettably, the point has been lost today, that as long as anyone’s behaviour is not hindering the freedom of others, they will themselves must be free and unhindered to do and behave in any way they like.
The obligation of the Community will only ever be to manage and to provide resources, rules and regulations that work for and in the best interests of that Community and nothing more.
These ‘Frameworks for Freedoms’ overseen by the Community must always be universal in nature. So that they treat each and every person exactly the same.
Frameworks for Freedoms will ensure that no person is given either an advantage or disadvantage, if they should find themselves with nothing in terms of material wealth, or if holding no material wealth should indeed be their voluntary choice.
In its simplest and most easily describable form, an example of a framework rule would be similar to what we today understand as the minimum wage. A universal framework where EVERYONE must be paid that minimum hourly rate, no matter what job it is that they do.
Universality does not entertain prejudices. Nor does it recognise the differences and therefore the prejudices that today’s social conditioning has done so.
So, no matter how we might have been previously conditioned or required to identify someone – whatever the reasons might be, those reasons that we use to attribute social value to those human beings in some way in the past, must now be discarded and left behind.
EVERYONE enters and leaves this world the same. Frameworks for Freedom must ensure that no rules exist which allow anyone to define themselves as being different to others through any position or wealth that they have attained or have been gifted in other ways.
Success and apparent happiness don’t make anyone better than anyone else. Genuine success and happiness are defined by the individual and their own reflections. Not by anyone else or by the world outside.
Frameworks for Freedoms are the doorway that allow everyone to thrive and achieve happy, healthy, safe and secure lives – if they so choose.
The real power and responsibility of community centred governance is to provide these Frameworks and to protect them. Nothing more.
Why frameworks can be relied upon, but rules, regulations and laws cannot.
Every Community must be able to make rules that are considerate of the different dynamics that relate to it.
These rules must always sit outside and beyond making specific requirements that suggest how every individual will enjoy their own freedom and the related right to exist in tangible forms.
These Community rules might relate to very practical measures such as the infrastructure that exists, the types of foods that can be grown or produced in the area, or other ways in which the Community’s economy or local marketplace works.
Each Person must always be treated and respected as the individual they are and given every opportunity to express their freedom to choose how to live, without unnecessary rules, regulations and laws that seek to control – that would only exist for the benefit of those who write or set them.
Genuine frameworks are principles that do not need to be changed.
Whereas rules, regulations and laws tend to be dynamic and must be updated to reflect changes and times.
Rules, regulations and laws are always open to interpretation and to abuse.
If we want our future world to work in a balanced, fair and just way for everyone that always puts people first, it is the principles that need to work, to be consistent, universal and reliable, before anything else.
It is not the detail that counts.
The First Framework for Freedom: (The Basic Living Standard)
There is nothing insignificant about the process of change and the transition from a money, wealth, influence and power-based culture, to one that values and puts people first.
Frameworks that allow everyone to act, think and to behave like the adults that they are will be the very best way to help us all to survive and thrive through as we go through transition and change and then play our part in establishing a new System that is waiting for us beyond.
We may not be able to see how a very different way of living and relating to others would work from where we stand looking at the future right now, as the culture we are experiencing today has taken over everything.
Considering anything contrary to what we consider to be ‘normal’ today can easily leave us feeling overwhelmed.
The relationship that we all have with money is the most important part of the process of change and will be resisted in ways that nothing else will.
This is why changing our approach to money and finance is so important. Every problem we have today relates to our relationship with money and this can only be fixed with a complete switch in focus to putting people first, before anything and everything else.
The First Framework for Freedom (or The Basic Living Standard) is as follows:
That a happy, healthy and balanced life will be affordable and sustainable for everyone, without the need for debt, subsidy or government handouts of any kind, when receiving the minimum, most basic or living wage for working the equivalent of a full working week.
If you remain tied in your beliefs to today’s system and money-based culture, it is unlikely that you will be able to see the defining value of this Framework.
Indeed, you may not even conceive that such a Framework is viable and would certainly not be something that would be supported by choice.
However, if you will take the time to think and work this through, and picture the reality that people, businesses and all organisations would be required to consider this obligation in each and every action or transaction that they make or undertake, you will soon begin to see how this is a central framework rule that has the power to influence and impact upon them all.
Each Person must have the ability to be able to sustain their lives fully on the lowest full-time wage without handouts from the community, without relying on charity and without having to rely upon debt.
In a future people-first economy, everything will point in that direction and contribute to making it work.
The 11 Principal Frameworks of A Community Route
We must accept that for many, a world that focuses on living life differently, simply doesn’t make any sense.
However, just because someone cannot see it, it doesn’t mean that it cannot exist.
Likewise, just because we may only be able to see the future in the same context of how we understand everything in the World around us works today, doesn’t mean that we cannot think differently and embrace what will soon become necessary for everyone – no matter what we might currently believe.
Governance should always be as light-touch and government as small as possible.
In so far as it is possible, people must always be allowed to set their own life rules.
However, a successful future will be based upon us all agreeing upon, working with and committing to governance frameworks that provide the necessary direction, standards and security, so that people and their communities can thrive.
These are the 11 Principal Frameworks:
- Economic Localism
- Freedom does not hinder and is not hindered in any way.
- People First
- No Hierarchies. Top-Down is at its end
- Local People MUST make Local Decisions Locally & influence from The Grassroots-Up
- Local Businesses buy, sell and promote Local Goods first
- Every link of the supply chain must add value.
- Money or currencies have a fixed value and are only used as a medium of exchange
- Technology: A tool to improve life, not end it
- The Internet is a tool for life, not an alternative to it
- In a People First system, the people will always be the first to speak.
In the pages that follow, we will go through each of these Principal Frameworks, one by one.
1. Economic Localism
If you cannot see it, be in the presence of it or directly engage with it, you cannot trust that it will be in your best interests – whatever it might be.
In a world where everything has been telling us to place our trust and belief in people, businesses, governance, manufacturing , production and services that are somewhere else – either out of our locality, our presence or somewhere online, it does indeed sound counterintuitive to suggest that a better life and way of living for everyone can only come by redirecting the way we live and have relationships with everything in a completely different way.
Yet that is exactly where we need to be.
Easy living, based upon processes and the input of people that we will never meet or see, mean that we have lost sight of responsibility, whilst we have also surrendered our control.
To live well, to live freely, to live healthily and to live happily, the focus of life, living and of everything that feeds into life and supports it must be as local as possible.
Everything must be transparent and be completely under our own control.
Every commercial activity that exists relates to a business, service or process that serves the interests of people in some way.
When commercial activities of any kind are placed in the service of specific interests and interests that are either deliberately hidden or kept out of sight, whatever they do will never be in the interests of us all. The balance between us and the sense of justice and fairness is quickly lost.
The priority for all communities must be to meet everyone’s basic needs so that everyone has the food, the clothing, the transport, the technology, the education, the work and the means to be self-sustaining without the need for help or support, in return for the work they do or the contribution to the community that they make.
This means that the growing of food, production of goods, manufacturing, supply of services and all the supply chains that support normal life and that exist to meet everyone’s basic needs, must be returned to their most locality focused and people-centric forms.
2. Freedom does not hinder and is not hindered in any way
We think that we are free today, and that any fight that might lie ahead is to maintain that freedom.
This is not correct.
The fight ahead is the fight for freedom itself. That’s why we need community focused leadership.
The alternative is to accept further forms of control and tyranny from an establishment or system that still insists that everything it does and will do will be done with our best interests at heart, whilst it seeks to profit from and exploit us all at every turn. All the time, reducing every one of the freedoms that we have today, whilst also seeking to continually reduce and remove our own individual forms of control.
Some might relate this statement to issues like the arrival of new generations of AI and the growing digital tyranny that we are being increasingly controlled and oppressed by. But nothing is so simple as that.
The reality is that we have forgotten what freedom really is.
By being so beholden to and manipulated by the consumer mantra ‘you can have whatever you want, it will always be available, it will always be affordable, and we’ll always give you money to pay for it – as long as you behave’, we have collectively become shackled by always wanting more.
We have forgotten what it is to live life in a way that centres only upon what we actually need.
Today, we are slaves to a values set based upon wealth, money, power and influence being the only things that are important.
We have become so addicted to this way of being and thinking, that we cannot even see how badly we are being hurt by what we already have. Yet we remain desperate for the same self-interests that brought us here to reach out and offer us even more.
True freedom does not hinder us or restrict us in any way.
True freedom only ends when our actions and behaviour become a genuine hindrance to others.
Freedom will always be freedom. Freedom is not something that depends on what people with power and influence dictate.
We must create and maintain a culture, understanding and framework that allows each and every one of us the freedom to be ourselves and who we believe ourselves to be. But at the same time does not restrict or hinder this same freedom in others so that it can contradict its own legitimacy, or force change upon the freedom of anyone to be.
3. People First
We are led to believe and to accept that The System that we have today is run on behalf of the people, by the people and for the people.
It is not.
Most people understand that the system is run in the best interests of those who either run it, or those that they look up to or receive favour from in some way.
But that is not the whole truth.
Everything that we know and understand today revolves around and is focused upon a values set based upon money, wealth, influence and power, along with the processes and actions that help everyone – no matter who they are – to gain and accumulate more of it.
We put money and the value we place in it before people and everything else.
The rise of the internet, the smart tech revolution and now the evolution of AI have made the downward spiral that has existed for over 50 years even worse by creating more and more devices and processes that dehumanize relationships.
Today’s internet creates the impression for anyone or any organisation with a platform that the people they interact with online aren’t actually real.
As far as real life is concerned, people in the digital world simply do not even exist. Yet in return we listen to and respect them as if they are.
This way of living is already unsustainable. But it is set to get even worse as we embrace the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), without any ethical framework or rules being set up that recognises the negative impacts and outcomes from profit-driven and control-driven misuse.
We must flip or completely turn this situation on its head and create a universal environment that puts people at the forefront of everything and every relationship instead of money.
Using benchmark frameworks that ensure fairness, balance and justice for all such as The Basic Living Standard, which will guarantee the ability of all people to support themselves without going into debt or without having to call on charity or government support, we will have the ability to provide a self-sustaining standard for a happy, healthy, safe and secure life for everyone.
With frameworks that are focused on People, we can also create a light-touch system of governance that uses transparency as an open tool for the system of the future to police itself too.
Today, humanity as a value set has been lost.
We can and will regain our true and most beneficial value set by focusing on the benefits of putting people first.
4. No Hierarchies. Top-Down is at its end
Whilst some of us will understand the concept, none of us alive today have known a world without hierarchies.
Yet hierarchies are one of the most effective tools that exist for the dehumanisation and distancing of humanity and human relationships.
Hierarchies are the reason that societies and industries ultimately fail.
The intrinsic reason for the failure of all hierarchies – where the failure itself can take centuries to reach those at the top – is because hierarchies instantly make decision makers out-of-touch with those they rule.
The System that is failing and collapsing around us today is a classic example of a hierarchy. It is a textbook example of a system that operates from the top-down.
Today’s system is so complex, that the tiers or levels of the hierarchy are not only top-down. The way that we have evolved culturally has meant that we have also extended these tiers or levels from side to side.
This means that the responsibility for decisions that affect our daily lives are not only made by people and organisations or bodies that we will never have contact with.
It also means that their role, responsibilities and influence are also heavily – and all too conveniently obscured from our view.
Leadership has become synonymous with hierarchy. Yet the interchangeability of the two words or terms must no longer be considered as meaning the same thing.
We most certainly need leaders to shine and take responsibility for leading us.
But leadership does not come by right. It does not appear through career progression. It certainly doesn’t come through position or assumed power – even though the elites want us to believe this – try as they might.
Poor leaders who have no appreciation of the mechanics of leadership, nor any understanding of what leadership genuinely is, usually surround themselves with leaders who are even weaker, who then do exactly the same thing when it becomes their turn to lead.
Likewise, the accumulation of wealth or apparent success with a certain kind of business is no guarantee of anyone’s ability, the ethics or the morality that will drive them if they find themselves in a position where deference and the way that society works would enable them to take a lead.
Today, we have reached a position where everything we know in terms of governance and the way that the rules governing the way society, business and culture function has such people at the top and intrinsically involved.
We must end these hierarchies. We must end everything that functions in the sense of decisions being made by any form of power and influence that is remote and that we can identify in any way as being top-down.
5. Local People MUST make Local Decisions Locally & Influence from The Grassroots-Up
When we have a problem, we look to the people closest to us or those who are around us and in our lives for help. We quite literally reach out to our local support networks.
So why do we always reach outside of our local support networks for everything else and believe that the people, the businesses, the politicians and whatever else we interact with will value us at a personal level and with our best interests at heart, just the same?
Whilst there must always be an objectively created framework of rules that establish and maintain equality in all things that will be equal and that there is equality for all, the creation of such rules and regulations must be undertaken by people who understand what life is really like for all.
If decision makers do not interact with the people, the area, the community for which any set of rules are made, they cannot make those decisions in the most informed manner.
True equality of opportunity must exist for society to be balanced, fair and just.
But equality of opportunity and one-size-fits all are never the same thing. That is, unless you are the one with all the power and you sit in isolation at the very top.
In our world of the future, it will be Local people – that’s the people we talk to and see regularly or could call on easily and without difficulty – who will always be making the decisions on public policy and governance that will have any effect upon us and the people we care about.
There are very few decisions made by any of the existing levels of government today that cannot be returned, along with the power that enables them, to the most local or community level.
Instead, rules are today being made that have a real impact upon the quality of life that we all experience, by people who will never visit or understand our areas and communities, and who we will never have reason to know.
Lawmaking powers must be returned to the level nearest to the people possible to do so. In the majority of cases, this will always be within a local or community framework.
Cost or political expedience is in itself no excuse for rules to be passed to anyone or to any organisation outside of our local frameworks. The reality is that excuses like these are quite literally all they are – excuses that sound beneficial to everyone.
The truth is that they are all about taking power away from us so that someone else can better serve their own self-interest, by taking and misusing our control.
Local people will always be best equipped to make local decisions. There is no need for anyone else, any group or political party to be involved.
We can only return power to the people by rejecting the phoney democracy that it will take us working together as a whole community to replace.
6. Local Businesses buy, sell and promote local goods first
We shouldn’t trust what we cannot physically experience, even if it physically exists somewhere else.
Just as it will be in the interests of our health to avoid foods that don’t resemble their basic, raw form – unless the processing used is simple, such as was traditionally undertaken by hand (e.g. Bread, Butter, Cheese), we will learn to avoid and distrust the processes of growing, manufacturing and production that are not accessible or cannot be accessed, viewed and assessed by people who are known to us and that we can trust.
People with money, influence and power today have abused the trust that so many of us have placed in them by exploiting the rationale that out of sight is out of mind.
They do this because they remain confident that if we cannot see it, we do not care about it, we are not interested in it, and that we will take the provenance and care for our best interests that go into it for granted.
Corruption is not only a term that relates to financial payments, favours and backhanders that skew decisions today that should always be impartial and fair.
Processes of all kinds have become corrupted by the self-interest and profiteering that drives them.
There is no reason why the basic goods, foods and services that we all need for life cannot be grown, produced, manufactured and supplied locally – IF we are putting people and a values-based way of living first, using methods that will quickly resolve some of the biggest issues that society currently has.
Yes, there may always be a need to trade local goods that exist in excess, for those that cannot be locally produced. Or to create a regulated currency for the purpose of being a medium of exchange that can do the same.
But if we work locally, with local people, in the interests of the locality and the local community, a balance for this will always exist.
It is only when greed and the self-interest of the few enter the equation that a process begins where balance, fairness and justice is lost. Selfishness is where it all begins to go wrong.
Local Businesses must always prioritise local suppliers for their services, raw materials and goods.
Quality and experience are always the key, and by chasing profit or by attempting to avoid rules that achieve the same, transparency, provenance, authenticity and everything good will always be lost.
7. Every link of the supply chain must add value
Whilst it is the money system and the way that money creation and circulation are managed that are the fundamental problem with the way that the worldwide economy works today, this mismanagement itself has encouraged a cultural mindset that focuses on saving costs and making more profit. Not as a consequence of what the business does; not because there is some kind of rule requiring them to do so; not because circumstances demand it of them. But because they can.
We have reached a stage where businesses that we could argue have a legitimate involvement in supply chains that provide a service or supplies to the people, such as supermarkets, already use every excuse that sounds plausible to convince retail customers that prices need to keep rising.
Meanwhile, supermarkets push producers and growers at the other end of the supply chain to sell at prices where they can barely continue to exist (and increasingly don’t).
However, the problem today reaches way beyond businesses such as those we would recognise as having a legitimate role in production and supply to play.
There are also many other companies, ‘agents’, speculators, and other ‘interests’, who buy and sell raw materials, components, ingredients, fuels, minerals and even currencies, who do nothing to add value to the product or whatever it is they are buying and selling.
But in whatever way they become involved, they nonetheless add and take a fee for themselves.
That excess profit, made without adding value to the supply chain – when adding value could be refining, making an engine out of components, or even selling to the customer at the end of the ‘chain’, raises the costs of all of these goods and even services unnecessarily.
In every circumstance within a supply chain where anyone takes a margin without adding any value to the process, it makes the end product or service more expensive for everyone to buy and makes it more difficult to live.
There must always be a reward for input, whether that be growing, mining, processing, refining, delivering or selling.
But nobody and no business will be able to take a reward, just because they can afford to insert themselves into any part of any supply chain that exists or may be under discussion ahead of time – pushing up prices as they do so, and then selling on at a profit which pushed those prices up further.
Regrettably, the historic greed of growers, producers and all the different companies that in some cases also carry out unnecessary cost-raising activities or roles, has surrendered the ability of whole industries to take back control of their own marketplace because they are today tied into commercial relationships they feel unable to leave behind – even though they are being progressively broken by them.
Supply chains must be as short as it is possible. No unnecessary business, agent or entity of any kind can be allowed to be involved in the growing, production, manufacturing, storing, transport or selling of foods, goods and services that are essential to life – of any kind.
Of those businesses or entities that have involvement at any stage of any supply chain, they MUST add value to the chain with whatever it is they do.
No other interests other than those that are adding value to the chain must ever be allowed to be involved.
Speculation or ‘futures’ must be prohibited for any raw materials, foods or goods that are part of any supply chain that provides essential goods, services or supplies that are essential to basic life.
Speculation and ‘futures’ selling or handling is nothing more than gambling and no one has the right to gamble with anyone else’s life.
8. Money or currencies MUST have a fixed value and only be used as a medium of exchange
Money isn’t real. Yet we have been conditioned to believe that it is.
Money is a unit or medium of exchange.
Yet we have been conditioned to believe that money is a thing. That money holds value of its own, and that the value that money holds is variable in its own right – well beyond the basic principles necessary for currency exchange.
Money has become the benchmark that dictates the value of life and the value of every individual’s existence.
For as long as this money-based order, reality or culture that we have today continues to exist, the values that underpin humanity and human existence will matter less and less.
Money and currencies of any kind are useful to us, as long as they are only used as the medium of exchange that they are. Rather than being believed to be or considered to be an accumulation of material wealth in itself – as it is today.
For as long as we continue to allow the value of anything and everything to be determined by the value of money, which itself can then vary from day to day, the power of any individual, business or community to regulate, manage and sustain healthy lives will be compromised.
Until 1971, when neoliberalism fully took over, the value of the money that existed was always pinned or anchored to the value of gold.
‘The Gold Standard’ was far from being a perfect system or system that was balanced, fair and just in itself – as any good study of economic history will demonstrate. But what its existence did demonstrate was the benefit of having the value of money restricted, which meant that there was considerably less opportunity for the system to be ‘played’ – as it has been, to our considerable cost, ever since.
A fair, balanced and just economic system that puts people first must rest its economic base upon the people that exist within that system, along with the fundamental value we can associate with what those people then put in or take out of it.
That value may indeed be translated into money or a form of currency or digital currency of some kind.
But there is no requirement or need for that value to ever be variable in a system that puts people first and does not accept that non-essential or basic goods that it cannot itself produce must be secured, no matter the price.
The value of human existence and the value of the work or effort that any individual puts into the system must be the benchmark which everything to do with monetary exchange and value must be pinned.
For life to be valued and for that value of life to be maintained as it will always be, money or currencies of any kind must always be a unit of exchange that holds no value of its own that can be bought, sold or exchanged.
9. Technology: A tool to improve life, not end it
It would be foolish to not recognise the value of the advances in technology that humanity has experienced throughout the industrial age.
Those technological advances have increased exponentially as we have picked up speed through the digital age, with advances that we have experienced in just the past few years alone, already providing us with the opportunity to look at life in a very different way.
Technology has always had the power to do much good. To improve life in many ways and to remove all kinds of risks from the workplace for everyone who may be involved.
However, technology and its development has also been increasingly abused.
Technological advances are used by industries to increase profits and are today increasingly seen as a way to reduce the numbers of people employed to work. All without any due regard for the impact on individuals, communities, entire countries and the industries that are involved.
It is true that no business or organisation exists purely to employ people.
Employment and the need to employ people to carry out any function that the development of a business or organisation and the products or services that it delivers, has and always will be a happy consequence of organic growth from the provision of goods and services of a quality that are essential to life and which people and communities genuinely need.
Profit should always be a happy consequence of good delivery and management. Never the primary aim.
The power of good in technology rests in its ability to be used to improve and enhance working practices and quality of life.
Not to make work or employment unnecessary for anyone, or to be used as a functional device to control or restrict people or humanity in any way.
There are and always will be negative consequences when technology of any kind is used and harnessed for purposes other than to improve life or working conditions.
Those who lose out will always lose out badly.
Whilst those who believe they are using technology to benefit themselves or their business will only every experience a pyrrhic win.
In a people centric or people-first economy and World, technology must always be used to improve the experience of everyone. Not as a tool that can only ever benefit the few.
10. The Internet is a tool for life, not an alternative to it
Many neither realise nor appreciate that the arrival of the internet and the functionality that it has offered us, has never been governed or regulated by governments and those that govern on our behalf in ways that benefit us.
The internet and the online world that is developing with it is and always has been a two-edged sword. It has brought as many downsides or dark aspects with it as the positive or good aspects that it has given us – and potentially a lot more.
Many of the social problems that we experience today can be attributed to behaviour that was deemed acceptable online before it then found its way into the real world or the mainstream.
From early on, people and businesses using the internet – whatever the purpose may have been – didn’t recognise the same social etiquette, politeness, manners, morals, standards or behaviour that we considered to be the cultural norm in ‘real life’ outside. Principally, because there was never any real system of Governance in place and so none of those same rules appeared to exist.
The rate of behavioral change in social conditioning from locality to online has been confined to within what might only be one generation.
Young people today take all of their social cues and conditioning from the world online. Rather than from the young people, adults and community figures around them.
The effect has been massively profound.
Today, upcoming generations and those above them who follow common narratives take these social cues into ‘real life’ without realising the parallel universe or pretend world that the internet or online world offers, is dictating or rather destroying rules and the remaining values for life.
This reconditioning is helping to dehumanise every aspect of life that we experience, as it progresses.
Like all technology, the value of the internet and all things online cannot be understated. Just as long as it is used and operated within a framework, with rules and restrictions that are always based upon and maintained for the common good.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and all online technology will prove to be bad for humanity if it is programmed, created and driven by motives and designs that are in the interests of the few, rather than being in the best interests of all mankind.
The internet is a tool. It must be respected as such.
The online or digital world must always reflect or mirror the rules and practices that we use in real life. Rather than having the ability to completely reset life and every agenda, as it and all the technology that feeds into it, does today.
11. In a People First system, the people will always be the first to speak
We have been told over and over again that we live and enjoy freedom that can only come from being in a democracy.
The political system and the system of governance or administration that we have today could certainly operate in a very democratic way. But only when the incumbents within that system or the politicians and officers respect democracy and democratic practices themselves.
Whatever system of government or administration we may have, there will always be a dependence upon those who have been entrusted with the responsibilities of public representation having the integrity to respect and work diligently with that trust.
Today, politicians simply do not do this. Not least of all because once elected, politicians of the existing political parties are inevitably expected by their party to vote and support policies as they have been told.
But also, because very few politicians today are able to discern the difference between what is right for them and what is right for us all.
Many of us regrettably still think that change can be achieved just by voting for a different party, or by changing the way that votes are counted. So that smaller parties will get elected as they pick up alternative and second preference votes.
What those who believe this fail to see is that the way that we elect politicians doesn’t matter one bit, if the politicians don’t care for or consider the people they have been elected to represent.
It would be foolish to believe that any of us can trust that every politician we elect can be relied upon 100% of the time to make decisions on our behalf that are always 100% right.
But there is a colossal difference between where we are today, and where we will be when we have created a very different democratic framework that requires all public representatives to establish and qualify themselves at community level. Then live the principle that true democracy will always operate from the Grassroots Up.
Yes, we must have politicians and public representatives to represent us and make decisions on our behalf.
But the perversity of a system where just a few thousand people from a group that has very specific interests and motivations can select the next Prime Minister of the UK, should never have existed.
The people who represent us all must be selected and appointed by us all, first.
It may neither be possible nor appropriate for us to appoint a Prime Minister in the same way that the United States does.
Through the process of change we will all be able to take an active part in selecting the people who will represent us and take the majority of the decisions that will affect us all locally.
The people who represent us at regional, national and potentially international level, should always be selected from those who have been successful and demonstrated their suitability as a public representative, to the people they represent, from this pool.
Hidden Truths and Looming Elephants
Things to consider:
Nobody who genuinely understands or has any idea what experiences we will now be required to go through will make light of anything that might or could happen to any one of us next.
They will certainly not suggest that theres is anything easy about what lies ahead.
To maximise and make the very best of the opportunity that lies in front of you and indeed all of us right now, there are a few things to bear in mind that might be of some help.
They are a reminder that as soon as you are aware and committed to doing what you can to help everyone else through this process – including those who currently reject this direction and may be the last to awaken – that WE must all have the integrity to be our best, whatever the situation. Especially when it appears that change has stopped or may even seem to be going the wrong way.
There will be many more, and the way they are written may not make immediate sense to everyone.
However, they are written and offered with yours and everyone’s best interests at heart.
They follow as the remaining pages of this book.
They are:
- You will be the next great leader, before anyone else
- Nobody is wrong. We are all the sum of our experiences at any moment in time
- Don’t attempt to lead others if the only ideas you can lead with are your own
- If you believe that to win you must discredit the speaker, you are neither confident nor competent with your own case or cause
- Don’t look forward using the building blocks of everything you know and understand now
- Use the people you can interact with, without barriers, as your reference points. Always trust what you can see and access in real life before you even put your faith in anything else.
- Know yourself. Accept and be honest about your own limitations
- The most effective revolution is the one you take part in without even realising you were part of it
- If you have to rely on fear to win, your victory will never be safe
- We get to change the rules when we win. Don’t step onto the field of play until you understand what they are today
- It’s a conversation. Not a sale
- Ask questions and learn to ask the same questions in many different ways
- The outcome will always be related to the effort made
- This change may well be a spiritual awakening. But the physical or 3D world has to play its part too
- It could take 20 years for change to happen overnight
- Run away from anyone who says they have all the answers
- If you are focusing on punishment and blame, you are missing the point
- “You don’t speak for us”, is a warning for all of us too
- Having a platform is no qualification for leadership and leading other people is nobody’s right
- Always do the right thing for everyone, not only for yourself or what you believe
1. You will be the next great leader, before anyone else
Everyone has to change their mind about what happens next.
Even if you believe you are already fully ‘in the room’, the chances are there are things that you will need to change your mind about, or at the very least open your mind up to.
Changing your mind, when you believe that what you already know is right is very hard and should not be underestimated on anyone’s part.
Seeing the different way and then having the courage to take the leap of faith necessary to embrace it is also what it takes each of us to lead – even if we are only leading ourselves.
Through the process of all of us embracing that step, we will all be contributing to the overall process of change and the step that we take is where the leadership really begins.
2. Nobody is wrong. We are all the sum of our experiences at any moment in time
Sadly, today’s cultural conditioning tells us that the accepted narrative is always right, and that when you know you are right, anyone who doesn’t agree with you or the narrative must therefore be wrong.
However, we must accept that all of us are the sum of our experiences.
Whatever we personally believe to be right – based upon what we have learned or experienced up to that specific moment in time – may well be right in our own minds.
Yet the experience of the same subject or circumstances for anyone or everyone else may be very different, just because of whatever they experienced that led them to that conclusion first.
We can all be right based on what we already know. But at the same time, we can also be wrong in respect of what is right for us all.
Never judge anyone – no matter how you might feel.
3. Don’t attempt to lead others if the only ideas you can lead with are your own
If you are convinced that you are right or that the solutions you have are the right ones, you may also believe that you are the only person who has the ability to see things the way that you do.
If you believe this to be the case or you believe that you are the first person to see things the way that you do, you may believe that you should be the one who takes the lead.
We are now heading into a future where everyone will work for everyone else, together.
So, even if the ideas that you have end up being some or even all of the ideas that everyone should agree with, everyone else must discuss and agree that they are the most appropriate ideas, first.
Leaders are not always the people who have the ideas.
Leaders are the people who know how to get things done by getting the right people with the right ideas together and then getting all the answers, solutions and outcomes that everyone needs.
4. If you believe that to win you must discredit the speaker, you are neither confident nor competent with your own case or cause
If you are confident in what you know, you will never have cause to resort to shutting any opponent or anyone down who has an alternative view.
It doesn’t matter if they shout loudly or appear to be stealing the show.
A sound and confident argument made politely and reinforced in the same way will always ultimately win, whilst anger and hatred exhibited or projected onto others never will.
Those who resort to ridicule, digging up stories and dirt that has no relevance to the discussion, or to discrediting your argument in any other way, simply cannot rely on their own position or the arguments about the subject that they are able to make.
Take comfort in that fact.
5. Don’t look forward using the building blocks of everything you know and understand now
The change that is required of us all is about the process of creating a new future.
If we use what we know now as the reference point to create our future, all we will continue to do is keep looking back.
We will still be living in the past.
The past is only a reference point that we must use to inform us of what we no longer want.
We must create and mold the future using only the things that work for us all.
6. Use the people you can interact with, without barriers, as your reference points. Always trust what you can see and access in real life before you even put your faith in anything else
Community and localism in its truest sense are the key to the future.
It is the people that we interact with in real life and that we have open access to communicate with who will always provide the answers, sounding boards and feedback that will help us achieve all that we need to succeed at to deliver what comes next.
Other sources will always sound deceptively real or credible because we are not exposed to them in a way that allows us to know the truth of who they really are.
Trust only that or those who are accessible to you, and are either already in, prepared to be, or are open to being involved in your life.
7. Know yourself. Accept and be honest about your own limitations
If we really want to help to shape and create a future that works well for everyone, it is essential that we know, understand and are comfortable with who we are first.
Self-awareness is never an easy path to follow because those who have been teaching us up to now know the power of understanding others can only be learned in this way.
Mindfulness is only a step in the direction of all there is to know about ourselves.
By teaching yourself not only to become aware of how you feel, but also why you do things, and what led you to behave in that way, you will soon start to understand where your real strengths and weaknesses lie.
When you know your own limitations and have the peace of mind to own them too, you will not get in the way of others who can deliver the things for everyone else that you cannot.
Neither will you stand back and allow others to fail, when you know that you have competence that might smooth the pathway of success.
8. The most effective revolution is the one you take part in without even realising you were part of it
Few have the ability to negotiate terms when they are surrounded by chaos.
Those throughout history who may have appeared to do so will have either had more than a generous helping of luck, or destiny played its part on their side.
No matter what you might believe or deem to be fair or just, given all that you have experienced up until now, civil disorder and unrest may feel right. But it is very unlikely to lead to a situation where everyone whose support you need will believe and trust that you have right on your side.
Whilst nothing less than a revolution is everything that we now need, there is no need for any of us to behave like revolutionaries to achieve the right outcome.
The majority will always accept the result of a revolution for the long term, when they don’t realise that they were taking part in a revolution, all along.
A word of caution: Peaceful protest is always best, because it doesn’t harm those who need help. Whereas a complete loss of control means that control is lost of everything for everyone for at least a short period of time.
If that happens, there is never any guarantee behind who will be next to take up power.
Whilst history books most often tell us otherwise, the result of the Russian Revolution of 1917 was never certain. It relied on what we might call a lot of luck for the Communists – which was from then onwards for Russia, many other surrounding Countries and millions of people – arguably what turned out to be a VERY unlucky thing.
9. If you have to rely on fear to win, your victory will never be safe
Fear has been used as a weapon by the ruling classes and an establishment that the arrival of a new System for the future will soon allow us to replace.
Think about how the misuse of fear in the form of media messages, propaganda and rules that have been imposed upon you have made you feel.
You will never succeed in delivering any kind of meaningful change if the only way it can be achieved is by taking actions and using messages that achieve the very same.
The future must only be built upon trust, no matter how easy the misuse of information, messages, rules or actions might feel.
If the new System and future is achieved with anything less than people feeling they had freedom to choose and that they gave their voluntary consent, the certainly of a happy, healthy, safe and secure future within a fair, balanced and just system that works for everyone will be lost.
10. We get to change the rules when we win. Don’t step onto the field of play until you understand what they are today
Chaos and civil disorder could well lead to an outcome that is far worse than what we are experiencing already.
It could easily deliver a way of living that it is safe to say none of us could ever want.
The safest and most effective way to bring about and embrace effective change will be to play with and respect the rules of the game we are already playing, and that we will be playing, at that precise moment in time.
Whilst a collapse of civilised society or order would necessitate playing that game in a very different way, we must respect the way that democratic change can be delivered today.
We must be fully committed to working with The System that we have until the very moment that it has become clear that the aim of change cannot be delivered by continuing to do so.
It may feel like it, but we are a long way from reaching that point, yet.
People will not vote for anyone, just because they decide to craft a message and turn up.
People want representation from bottom to top that they can trust.
People will only trust all of us together as a viable political alternative when they know that they are important, and they feel that they are valued and involved.
Engage the people. Take over the Councils democratically. Then take over Parliament democratically.
Then and only then seek to change the rules to prioritise locality and community – Once you have legitimately taken power away from those who still believe it is their destiny to possess and to always be at the top – and will always do what they can to preserve it.
11. It’s a conversation. Not a sale
People don’t buy anything if they believe that they cannot afford the cost.
A key part of spreading the word and changing minds before necessity starts to do the work for us is to remember and always bear in mind that the world that we are leaving is one where everything is about money and values are based on what money is involved.
Those who are still ‘invested’ or ‘bought in’ to the dying system, will quite literally see the change in the way of living that we must all embrace as one that will lead to loss. It will therefore be perceived as a change that they simply cannot afford.
People who have a different view that is embedded and aligned with who they are, will always respect a reasoned conversation rather than a sales pitch – especially if the first words you utter, would otherwise become the excuse to make you wrong and shut you down.
Talk to people as fellow humans and as the adults that they are, sharing the same, but different experience.
Use common ground to demonstrate credibility and the experience that gives value to who you are.
A win might not always be evident at the time. But if you have listened as well as spoken, and avoided doing anything that makes that other person wrong, your reason and truth will travel and have good effect.
12.Ask questions and learn to ask the same questions in many different ways
Those who are resistant to change or have closed off minds find it easy to say no.
Ridiculing them or getting angry with them will not change their minds.
In fact, it is likely to only entrench their resistance and make the situation a whole lot worse.
The process of change that is necessary is reliant upon how everyone thinks.
People will only think differently if they are confronted with information that invites them to do so.
Asking questions rather than making statements will always be the safest place to begin.
13.The outcome will always be related to the effort made
It would be wonderful if the whole process of change were to become unnecessary, because in one simple moment, everyone was able, ready and willing to change how they think.
The reality we face is that the change that is required of us all isn’t an easy one, and the greatest effort will be required of all those who have awakened to the true reality of all that we face first.
The result that we expect and are seeking is far from guaranteed, and if we don’t make the effort to embrace the requirements of the role that each and every one of us can play, there is no certainty or guarantee that we will ultimately succeed.
14.This change may well be a spiritual awakening. But the physical or 3D world has to play its part too
Many helpful spiritual speakers have been framing the changes that are underway as a ‘great awakening’.
This may indeed be so. But not everyone will experience this time of transformation in a spiritual, religious, enlightening or mindful way.
Of those who do so, many will awaken spiritually because of the experiences that they have.
The change we experience will ultimately be all about the way that the majority think.
Most of the people in the World look outside of themselves for all reference points. So, the world outside of them will have to change before they are ready to embrace the change that will be necessary for everyone inside.
15.It could take 20 years for change to happen overnight
Please be patient.
It doesn’t matter whether you saw this all coming, whether you’ve just woken up, or whether you will be joining the change at some later stage.
The process of change or transformation will not happen overnight.
The system and the circumstances that we are now in are so complicated, change will happen in what we may experience as significant events, but what will in practice is likely only to be happening bit by bit.
16.Run away from anyone who says they have all the answers
The answers, solutions, direction and the frameworks to get us through change to the future are for everyone to agree upon and to decide.
If you should experience any person, group or political party telling you that they have the answers, the knowledge, the experience or anything else necessary – without accepting the need for input, discussion and reference from anyone else, simply walk away.
They are doing the same things that got us to where we are now and all you will get by trusting them is a lot more of the same.
17.If you are focusing on punishment and blame, you are missing the point
There are many people talking about tribunals for ‘Covid Crimes’ and punishments being dished out for taking self-serving decisions that are hurting everyone else such as business leaders, politicians, bankers, members of the WEF and members of the so-called elites.
Yes, these people may have done plenty of things that we can now see and understand as being very wrong.
But by focusing on what has already happened, rather than what happens next, you will be focusing on things that you cannot change.
Meanwhile, you will be wasting the opportunity to change the things that you can.
One of the secrets to getting everything right is not to let anger, emotion and frustration spoil a productive day.
Removing the people who are responsible for all of our problems from positions of power and influence and ensuring that our future can no longer be written by anyone who behaves in any way like them, should be the immediate priority for us all.
Ensuring that these people never again have the opportunity to enrich or benefit themselves at the expense of others will certainly be punishment enough.
18. “You don’t speak for us”, is a warning for all of us too
It is very easy to get caught up in the praise and acknowledgement we have or that we receive from those who agree with or who appreciate our message.
However, there are a lot of people in the world, and a lot of minds to be changed, no matter how many of them may or may not be needed for ideas of change to reach any kind of critical mass.
The phenomenon of those in the public eye who insist that they speak for everyone, when it is clear that they don’t, is very real.
Don’t fall into the trap of believing that positive praise from very few is representative of how the majority already does or will ultimately feel.
Work hard and do the right thing at every opportunity, until the job is over and the results can be seen.
19. Having a platform is no qualification for leadership. Leading other people is nobody’s right
As we awaken or peel more and more layers away from the deception we have experienced, it is natural to reach out or go in search of any credible and alternative voice.
The problem is that in a world that today values information and sources that are not local to us, rather than the ones which are and that we should trust, it has become easy to believe that voices with messages we relate to can be trusted in proportion to how many people follow them, share their posts or how many like they have.
Partial truths that overlook or hide the uncomfortable ones are always going to be popular, will be valued and will be liked.
But partial truths are not the full story, and if you want change to be real and to succeed, it naturally follows that there is a need to become aware of, to accept, understand and become comfortable with the truths that you are currently not.
Beware of false prophets. Meaningful change will not come as part of an easy ride.
20.Always do the right thing for everyone, not only for yourself or what you believe
One of the most destructive ways that power and influence corrupts those who find themselves elevated into positions of responsibility for others, is that they very quickly forget that there is a very big difference between what is right for them and what is right for everyone else.
The two are treated as being synonymous from the level of parish, district and county councillors up to the office of Prime Minister itself. And the effect of anyone who makes decisions on our behalf losing sight of the difference, can easily have catastrophic consequences for us all.
More information, suggestions and advice
The only fixed suggestion made within A Community Route is that of the First Framework for Freedom.
Over the two years preceding the publication of this second edition of A Community Route, I have published a series of books that may also offer you guidance or help. These are listed in the ‘Books by this Author section’ that follows at the end of the book.
The books available work through the process of how we got to where we are, what we are now facing and provide ideas and suggestions for how we begin working together for the future.
There is lots of material that I have written over the past decade, including the period surrounding Brexit and the Covid Pandemic itself, available and published in the forms of my Blog which you will find at the following link: www.adamtugwell.blog
Thank you for reading. I am always very happy to discuss and learn with others and will be very happy to hear from you with questions, comments or any other kind of feedback. I will always do my best to respond to genuine contact – as quickly as I can.

You think for yourself, you have bags of common sense and as far as solving the problems that the UK and possibly the World faces, you also have a view.
One that might include or be focused upon problems caused by:
- AI
- Brexit
- The Cost-of-Living Crisis
- Democracy (or a lack of it)
- Digital Tyranny & Control
- The Elites (WEF, WHO etc.)
- The Financial System (Who controls money and how)
- Food Security (Grow your own, localised production)
- Freedom of Speech
- Globalisation (Or Deglobalisation)
- Healthy Living (Basic Foods)
- The loss of Values
- Media Manipulation
- Money (or a lack of it)
- Net Zero (Green & Climate Policy, LTNs, ULEZs and 15 Minute Cities)
- Political Parties
- Technology
- US Hegemony
- The War in Ukraine
- Wokeism, Political Correctness and Minority Rights
Alternatively, your view could be based on something entirely different. But one way or another, it is certain to come from a VERY long list.
We are experiencing a time when the World is increasingly in turmoil. Suggestions of completely impractical public policies such as Net Zero, using insects for food and closing down farms gives us just a small hint of what today’s World elites plan for us and aim to coerce us to do.
The reality we face is that the strength and ability required to change the direction that we emerge from after the collapse of The System that we are experiencing today needs everyone across our communities to unite and work together.
The problem we face is that despite many different voices and groups now championing change and transformation to embrace a balanced, fair and just future, the unity goes only so far as words and lip service at best.
Those who should be working together have never been further apart.
A Community Route proposes the basis of a new system and ways of thinking to unite and bring people, communities and groups together, so that we can succeed in setting our own agenda and begin creating the governance and systems that will ensure we all have a happy, healthy, safe and secure life, within a new values-based System that lies ahead.
