Ah ha! That's the crew Elias was sure was still here. All the posts have been excellent and offer a piece of wisdom constructive.
I also think we may have the makings of a leader in StillaGhost. He's demonstrated good reason behind that snarl AND its that kind of adamant strength that doesn't quit that will be necessary from any person who leads such a project. I too agree that his belief that investing the energy and effort into those "folks who also stand a chance of being around after the coming storm" is a wise use of energy, effort, and resources.
Realistically there's a limit to what a small group at this point can do to wake the masses. However there is a broad table of options available to a small group to create resources or effort toward empowering those who are already awake.
In terms of the mind war, it might look something like a tool that gives a tangible explanation of what the mindwar is, resources for reviewing the history, and methods of combating it which the Awake out there could then utilize to deal with situations in their sphere of influence. Just an idea example.
For those of you who I left puzzled with the comment about using the flat side of the sword or who still bears a sword, I'll answer your question with the answer to another question: Where were you in 1977?
In 1977 I was seven years old listening to my grandmother, who was a WWI & II intel warrior in her own right, tell me about the history of the Aes Dana and the paradigm. I learned direct from her about the depopulationists they intervened on post WWII. I learned about how the nazi international had not quit after WWII. I learned about the manipulation of the nation from its near outset after my people had helped design and support the creation of its structure in the course of the Revolutionary War period.
You see, my grandmother was the last historian of the Old Irish, those who immigrated to America in the early 1600s under cover of english and scottish names, disentangling themselves from the european civilization of their time. I learned from her both mundane and fantastic stories involving our history, including how the ancient ancestors had fought a global war against the ancestors of a prior corruption constructed by the ancestors of those we today collectively refer to as THE FAMILY or the Illumined Ones. I heard about the story behind the story which prompted the meeting at her home with a gentleman who in his professional capacity wore the white uniform of the navy. That meeting had been in 1975 shortly after he and another gentleman from the same system habitation had approached the Aes Dana formally for assistance with the paradigm of that period as it was already snowballing and escaping the bounds the founders had thought they'd set which the People were expected to manage and maintain.
She told that tall man that the help he sought would not be manifest in their time but rather in hers and she pointed at me who was sitting on the floor playing with a few toys and idly listening to matters I was too young to understand in specifics at the time. He came around the side of the couch and knelt down in front of me with despair so tangible you might think it could be cut with a knife and he looked me in the eye and asked if I would one day help? I remember it still clearly. I also remember having what some might call instant understanding of what he was asking and I remember promising I would. His last words to me was, "help them remember who they are."
Two years later in 1977 my grandmother was doing her best to grind as much information into my restless little noggin as she could despite being terribly sick with cancer. She died 2 years later without having finished the job.
I've spent the years since then piecing the rest together in a variety of ways. The sword is a celtic metaphor. The Aes Dana tradition is filled with metaphors that carry multifaceted meanings. It's not a weapon that can be taken from you. It's roots lie deep within your history. Each of you here today need to know that you are the heirs to my people's culture. The principles bound up in the founding of this nation are OLD IRISH principles, carefully handed down and preserved against a criminality that has operated in a variety of ways for nearly 12,000 years.
Why does the criminal element out there fear Americans and the founders construct as it was originally intended? Because it is the product of their ancient enemy...it is a product that was intended to be a vehicle to uplift and forward the Source's POTENTIAL possessed by all mankind. It was intended to stand the test of time beneath the stewardship of an awake and aware population. But the people went to sleep and they became cynical about its now mythical purpose. They suffered beneath the machinations of those who twisted history, reason, and perception. And you know the rest of the story.
The construct of America was intended to be a template that would one day be capable of teaching a world how the peoples of the world might govern themselves together and step beyond this world into the greater universe united in common principles and natural rights. Something the corruption is terrified of happening.
This is the legacy of my people and the secret they've kept all these centuries and why they risked exposure in the 1700s to help create a nation. Many of my ancestors were privateers. They were involved with the navy at its outset. Gave it its first flag, a white flag with a green pine tree upon it. And elements of career navy worked with them off and on ever since. The gentleman who visited my grandmother in 1975 was forced to acknowledge the implosion of the Old Irish clanns and their late 1960s decision to disband and allow the young adult generations what they sought which was a form of cultural oblivion through being absorbed into the umbrella culture. He was five years too late.
Every person in this nation is the heirs to the ancient Irish Culture. There are strongholds of this culture scattered all across this continent and in many places outside of the original isles in pockets throughout the world. The perpetrators of the corruption have feared this for centuries. And they were horrified in WWI and WWII when the clanns were "called". Now there are precious few left who remember any of this and we face a danger that threatens to cause extinction on this world...a greater danger than has ever existed in the history of this planet.
This world cannot at this time afford a collapse of civilization. There have been too many things done to the psyche of mankind, the creation of volatile technologies, and the return of the fantastic: a possible cyclic cataclysm which has been part of the human history off and on for thousands of years.
These are the stakes and this is the story you've never been told.
Now you can't go running around the planet howling this story, because like so much that occurs in the shadows, you'd only be laughed at. But the need of the paradigm to find and 'call' each awake individual to assist and contribute toward preventing an apocalypse is very real. Small things can make a huge difference if you track out their repercussions. I'm not saying this will have that kind of impact. That is up to all of you. But I will say my grandmother was a neurotic nit picker....meaning that she was adamant that small things can make a great splash in the cosmic pond of the landscape. She said there are few notions from the intuitive soup that are not worth doing, and that if you decide to do them, put excellence into it. Never settle for less.
In ancient celtic terms 'Excellence' is a virtue. It is a component of ROAR.
Roar is an active product of the use of the sword. Within it lies "neart" which has no english equivalent but roughly means 'strength' or 'power' in the sense of the 'energy of life'. It's a sacred energy drawing its origins from the Universal Source, christians call this source God. This energy is the source of all transformative movement in the universe.
Roar is sometimes described in terms of rage, but that is only because of the force it contains. Can it be double-edged? Yes. It is said that the reason it manifests so often in people of great size is that it might take a person of great size to wield it in a way that is also connected with the wisdom of the Source's consciousness. I would suggest that while charming that is not entirely true because in today's day and age, dynamite comes in small packages.
In other words you are not limited.
On the matter of leadership, SaG has a great deal to offer all those with interest in this project. His demonstration of his knowledge of rights is dead on. And attending to those already awake maximizes any effort you invest through a wider use or replication of the product.
You might ask why I am advocating this? Because I am and have always been a facilitator. I'm the type of person you call to set a giant cog in motion...to do this an evaluation must be done. My apologies to all who may have been confused about my approach to this. Our time in before eruption of chaos appears short. And the shortest distance between two points being a straight line, even if the course smarts a bit...
So. A leader leads at the consent of the people. Seems to me he's doing a pretty good job.
Food for thought.
