WE Protect Freedom!

	WORK IN PROGRESS! This page is under development. Check back for developments.
Feel free to join to help edit Projex.Wiki.

The ultimate truth:
All governments are inherently evil, corrupted, secretive, manipulative, divisive, exploitative, abusive, violent, and excessively murderous, with (s)elected puppet "leaders" rigging all entwined systems to serve psychotic Machiavellian elites for full spectrum dominance waged upon their own citizens with their bankster-media-military-industrial-academic-corporatocracy.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

The Pyramid Of Debate, a redesigned improvement on Graham's hierarchy of disagreement.

The Evolution Of War shirt design, worn by one of the Druthers guys.

Robert's Rules of Order, manual of parliamentary procedure, first edition, 1876.

These pages will change and evolve over time, preferably with your input. Check back for developments.

WE Protect Freedom! groups openly organize #Actions, #Communications, and #Resources for local freedom and prepper communities' networking in Windsor and Essex County.

After discussing this for years, for the first time we're finally clearly rebranding, reorganizing, and redefining ourselves in the do-ocracy spirit (do-ocracy).

WE Protect Freedom! may be a comprehensive way to organize, clarify fundamentals, positively rebrand ourselves, engage our members, better grow our numbers, and visibly and/or financially support our freedom groups.

This open organization may be a template for other groups to emulate, utilize, and modify as they see fit.

Don't be shy. More ideas, suggestions, and input are are very welcome as they can only improve how we organize our group, branding, actions, communications, and resources. Even bad ideas lead to better ones, and there's not always a single course of action.

First draft

Currently these two pages are just an evolving first draft pitch by Jason Carswell that will be presented to our communities for consideration, further input, development, improvements, tweaking, and hopefully for wider acceptance and implementation. This living document may evolve and change over time, yet it includes an immutable history of revisions ("view history" at the top of every wiki page).

Naturally and always, everyone is welcome to a Projex.Wiki account to edit and contribute to these wiki pages (we'll soon host wiki classes), or you may interact via email, phone, or in person with Jason or others who will improve these wiki pages with your contributions.

Hopefully this developmental process on these WE Protect Freedom! and branding developments wiki pages will yield a cornerstone constitution (with room for amendments), powerful branding, and our community strengthened by distributed management, open organizing, improved communications, insightful analysis, preparation for sustainable growth, and greater fortifications against tyranny.

Our brand name (proposal draft)

Recognize it or not, strong branding is critical in our modern age - especially when attempting to counter the corporatocracy's avalanche of brainwashing, distraction, division, deception, manipulation, and propaganda.

The name or title, "WE Protect Freedom!", is not written in stone nor printed on cards, yet, so this name, title, and branding project may come to nothing and be abandoned - or may remain, evolve, and/or thrive. Time will tell.

Why rebrand and reorganize?
Find out on the branding developments page.

Windsor and Essex County

The "WE" (all capitalized) of Windsor & Essex County was arrived at for the WEFringe group email lists and seemed like a catchy, clever gimmick to carry over. (Folks are welcome to disagree and express other ideas.) "WEFringe" is meant to be as clear and as short as possible for the group email title.

Fight

The "Freedom Fighters" term is not clear at all and needs improving.

• Fighting for freedom? Or fighting against freedom?
• Fighting with words? Fighting with fists? Fighting with nukes?
• Why so angry? Why fight in a peace movement?

For good branding, all confusions and negatives should be avoided, including all associations with violence and fighting.

Protect

"Protect Freedom!" remains a peaceful, positive, actionable statement of resistance and opposition to all kinds of tyranny - the mafia government puppet "leadership" as well as the status quo establishment of banksters, corporate monopolies, the ruling class and their deep state, their matrix of rigged systems of deception, manipulation, exploitation, oppression, and extermination, and all orders of authoritarian overreach, corruption, and despotism - from local to global.

Four versions

• Freedom! = universal appeal, but without action or purpose
• Protect Freedom! = more specific, active, may be a command, may be a call to action
• WE Protect Freedom! = our short local brand
• Windsor & Essex County Protects Freedom! = our extended local branding removing all confusion

All four versions may employ the same design motifs, whether those developed below or future motifs.

Globally, the first two versions may be sold world wide to raise funds for our causes, once designed and applied to merchandise. Hopefully with any luck, as open-source projects, these memetic ideas outlined below may inspire an effective world wide phenomenon with an organic life of its own.

Locally, we'll have our own two or more versions to be proud of and self-identify with.

Founding principles (proposal draft)

Pending consensus validation by community folks.

Our official classification

The official status of our group is that we will never register with the government in any capacity because we believe mafia-government overreach, regulations, surveillance, and taxation are among the greatest problems facing humanity. Why volunteer your address to be targeted by the enemy?

We have yet to solidly verify (via reliable legal council) that a private society is a safe classification for our group in Common Law and is not bound by government standards, legal restrains, or defining criteria, as are typically necessary for other group classifications such as a charity, church, cooperative (coop), limited liability corporations (LLC), non-governmental organizations (NGO), etc.

It may be worth discussing creating other parallel registered group(s) to reap whatever benefits that classification status may facilitate, including community and grant funding, access to public resources, discounts, tax benefits, etc. This concept has been discussed and is commonly utilized by community centers, charities, and media production. Whether it's worth it to dance with the devil is a whole other discussion

Core functions and goals

Section mirrored on WE Protect Freedom! branding developments

For maximum efficacy this WE Protect Freedom! defining and branding process requires revisiting and reconsidering our freedom groups' core functions and goals, including:

1. organize, engage, and network our members, groups, actions, events, and resources
2. clearly communicate and openly share our fundamental values, concerns, information, and ambitions
3. expand growth of members, alliances, public awareness/visibility, community abilities, and community resources

Understanding and organization of these core functions can be shared clearly outlining our mission, among members as well as the public, be printed in materials, documented online, referenced in press releases, and apply to fundraising merchandise to greater or lesser extents.

What we're about

Below lists have been started to help clearly define what we're about.

Protect

• balance, peace, and voluntary interactions
• FOEPATCH inclusive social management

  FOEPATCHISM = Fair, Open, Ethical, Peaceful, Accountable, Transparent, Consistent, Honest, Inclusive Social Management - for collaborators, communities, families, governments, groups, homes, organizations, social media, societies, teams, workplaces, etc. "Foe" = enemy; "patch" = correction.

• freedoms (assembly, autonomy, choice, communications, DIY, economic, expression, independence, mobility, satire, self-reliance, sharing, skepticism, etc.)
• human rights (employment, food, housing, security, etc. See also: Maslow's hierarchy of needs)
• Natural Law (do not deceive/lie, harm, murder, steal, transgress, trespass against others)
• communications and promotion of alternatives, corruption exposure, counter-propaganda, freedoms (above), free-thinking & truth-seeking, and solutions
• sustainability (community, cultural, economic, energy, environmental, family, food, pan-generation stability, etc.)

Reject

• agendas that sound good but are Trojan horses of evil driven by fear mongering hysteria (Agenda 21 now the Sustainable Development Goals (aka Agenda 2030), censorship, climate scams, depopulation agendas, divisive agendas, equity agendas, ESG (environment, social, governance) agenda for globalists' corporations, Trans agendas, UBI (universal basic income) traps, Woke agenda, Victimhood supremacy, Zionism, etc)
• child harm and sexualization
• corruption
• corporatocratic greed at the expense of humanity
• crimes against humanity
• evil acts (coercion, corruption, deception, manipulation, theft, exploitation, violent harm, extermination)
• injustice
• kakistocracy
• mafia governments that abuse their monopoly on violence
• medical tyranny
• open borders (at least until the deep state and military industrial complex stop mass murder, exploitation, supporting tyranny, and meddling in foreign affairs)
• totalitarianism (authoritarianism, capitalist-extremism, communism, extremism, fascism, socialist-extremism)
• toxic pollutants (environmental, food, products, radiation, etc.)
• unbridled consumer culture (artificially manufactured and manipulated from the top down, yet blaming the individual)
• war

Ambiguous

Free-thinking individuals of our community may be unclear, may disagree, may not even debate, or may have diverse ideas on these issues:

• abortion
• aid
• anti-gun vs pro-gun
• authority, community management, and top-down governance
• avarice, greed, selfishness
• body, drugs, fitness, food, health, medicine, and wellness
• capitalism, socialism, and many more -isms
• education
• employment
• environment stewardship
• faiths (and/or atheism)
• finance
• political party affiliations
• taxes

NEVER

• advocate any forms of aggression and violence,
  • yet we must employ self-defense when necessary.
• aim to take down the government.
  • This would defy the voluntaryist idea that folks may be free to choose to believe propaganda, be ignorant, and enslave themselves.
• force people to believe or do anything.

Community structure (proposal draft)

Pending consensus validation by community folks.

All human beings in our loosely formed open community are on equal footing. Yet to be efficient and effective we must collectively arrive at decisions expediently - thus a reliable and trustworthy core management team should help. Like it or not, a single "leader" is a single point of failure, whether it's absence, corruption, inability, self-interests, or whatever. A small steering committee may self-manage their agendas, arrangements, schedules, etc. and inclusively communicate with subgroups (see #Subgroups below) and the larger community. (Naturally folks remain free to create their own associations and private societies structured differently.)

Committee structure

Establish a steering committee (core team, executive council, or whatever label) of at least five people.

Committee who

1. chair (may be a rotating position)
2. vice chairs
3. secretary
4. treasurer

Committee how

• Anyone may call for a committee election at any meeting.
• Anyone may nominate themselves or others at any meeting.
• Committee members are free to skip meetings as they see fit when others can cover.
• Committee members are responsible for distributing work and responsibilities with each other and the community to prevent overload, overwork, stress, etc.
• Committee members are responsible for keeping each other and the community informed.
• Committee members must be inclusive, openly transparent, and communicate clearly with the community, subgroups, other communities, and the public.
• Committee members must never be closed off, elevated, nor Machiavellian.
• Committee members should all be updated on everything equally and be able to fill in any position.
• Committee members should number at least five.
• No matter the number of committee members, all must be kept in the loop.
• These criteria may evolve.
• We may develop processes to retire committee members.

Committee duties

• maintain and share agendas
• maintain and share minutes
• maintain order at the meetings
• refine and share meeting rules/guidelines
• run meetings

Committee potential duties

• be as inclusive, open, and transparent as possible
• calendar management
• communications and networking with members, individuals, groups, and other communities
• community organizing and management
• community outreach
• develop clear definitions and limits on issues with the community

  Examples:

  • organizing on this wiki page is a start
  • is recording of meetings or events permitted and under what conditions
  • what content is for personal/group/public/global consumption

• event planning and execution
• manage resources
• oversee newsletters
• oversee public relations (press releases, social media, websites, etc)
• oversee subgroups
• share all developments with the larger community

Meeting management (proposal draft)

Pending consensus validation by community folks.

The goal: order at the meetings.

Some of these ideas may be embraced, rejected, or linger on the fence, be rarely used, occasionally employed, or become mainstays - but all will require patience and practice to build up our collective better habits for more productive meetings.

To foster better respect and courtesy between folks its prudent that folks not interrupt speakers just as speakers should respect the community's limited time - thus we'd like to develop good habits with interruption and interjection mediation protocols.

Agenda time slots

1. Uninterrupted presentations
2. Q&A periods
3. free-form discussion periods

• set time constraints
  • scheduled in agenda
  • clock display, flip book, other manual time indicator, egg timer, or none?
• develop flexibility protocols
  • How to ask for more time.
  • How to quietly signal more time granted.

Chair control

• chair could signal with a call bell rather than a gavel

  1 bell = 5 minutes to meeting / end of presentation time / quiet, attention please!

  2 bells = 2 minutes to meeting / presentation 30 seconds over / interruption

  3 bells = 30 seconds to meeting / presentation 1 minute over

  4 bells = we're about to meeting / quiet, attention please!

• talking stick?

Hand signals

1. applause-hands (Occupy Movement)
2. raised fingers
   • will wait for recognition from the chair
   • has something to say eventually (while not interrupting)
   • Make notes or potentially forget points while waiting!

   1 finger = one point to make

   2 fingers = two points to make

   3 fingers = three points to make

   • Lowered fingers indicate it's been covered or the moment has passed.
3. urgent hands
   • Hands raised high outstretched above the head indicate urgency to express a short detail, correction, an interjection, etc. - while not yet interrupting.
4. other ?

Ideally speaking

• Ideally the person speaking should project their voice well.
• Ideally the person speaking should stand.
• Ideally with larger groups we'll have amplification gear for the speaker.
• Ideally with much larger groups we'll have amplification gear for questions.

Notations

1. pre-meeting: distribute PostIts + pens
2. write down notes and questions rather than interrupt/interject
3. post-meeting: collect PostIts + pens for future meetings

Subgroups (proposal draft)

Pending consensus validation by community folks.

Our freedom / prepper community members have different goals to accomplish, talents or resources to share, and areas of interests and projects to dive into - but few have time to "do it all". In an effort to better manage our motivation, time, energy, and resources this is a proposal to branch into subgroups to focus on specific group-based agendas that may naturally overlap. These subgroups may drill into the details of topics to present their summaries and conclusions to the larger community.

Initially it seems prudent to simply come up with three groups: Actions, Communications, Resources.

Folks may propose other, better, or preferable ways to do subgroups.
