Remove the parasite from the host. It will starve.
Reko Rings:

Reko rings exist in Nordic countries. They are direct producer to consumer sales. They cut out all middlemen. No corporations. No Walmart. No Big box store. No mandates to keep you out. Fresh food from the farmer to the everyday person. Think of the farmer’s market with a twist.

As food prices are rising, inflation is skyrocketing, and predictions of food shortages are looming people need to fight back against the system of corporate and governmental kakistocracy that is abusing them at every turn.

One of the things you can do is start a Reko Ring. The difference between a Reko Ring and a traditional farmers market is that all selling, and purchasing is done BEFORE showing up.

The suppliers show up at the designated time (usually a 1-2hr window) with the exact amount of food they are going to sell, and the buyers show up having paid beforehand knowing exactly what they are going home with.

This reduces waste. It reduces time on the ground. It reduces your overall footprint. That makes you harder to stop. Cash, cryptocurrency, or bartering should be used whenever possible to cut the banks and tax man out of each transaction.

Reko Rings can be set up online or through a private mailing list or digital hang-out. Avoiding Facebook groups and opting for smaller, less noticeable venues is preferable. These should be closed groups and invite only. You be discerning about participation.

And it doesn’t take much to participate. In the 1940s small “victory gardens” which could be managed by a family grew nearly 40% of all produce in the US. If you have a home you can have a garden. You can become a producer.

You can do this. You just have to take the step. It will put you, your family, and like-minded individuals in a position to not just survive but thrive in an increasingly authoritarian and non-permissive environment.

Movement passports are going to become a more and more permanent fixture around the world. Boosters are going to be called for at an increasing rate by those in power. And as movement licenses apply to more and more places people are going to find themselves in a tough spot.

This is a way to live in a parallel world that avoids those logistical problems. When someone builds a wall to keep you out of a society in which you are a legal citizen of you don’t give up, go home, and wallow. You get creative, get smart, and work to your own advantages.

This is what a Reko Ring is. This is power you have. And they can’t take it from you.

Be kind to your neighbors.
