Notes From Gordon: Explaining RISE to a 5th Grader

Hello all,

A friend once remarked that if you can’t explain something at a level a 5th grader could understand, you’re not a very good teacher.

Challenge accepted.

RISE AS EXPLAINED TO A 10-YEAR OLD

Earth is a relatively small planet (8,000 miles in diameter), orbiting a relatively small star (Class G), in a relatively small galaxy, floating around in the middle of absolutely nowhere.

As if this weren’t existential enough, our world is currently governed by crazy people descended from ancient bloodlines of unimaginable wealth.

These crazy people do not need more money.

They already control all of the central banks and major corporations in the world and most of the world’s politicians.

What these crazy people crave is absolute power.

All of the world’s nations are now being operated by these crazy people from far above the level of visible, elective politics.

At the end of what was called the Age of Enlightenment, America broke away from a crazy person named King George III and from the crazy people surrounding him (British Parliament) and became a beacon of liberty to the world.

This experiment lasted for exactly 18 years, 1 month and 3 days—from 07/04/1776 until 08/07/1794—when President George Washington dispatched troops to put down the Whiskey Rebellion as a show of federal force.

The cancer of consolidation in an all-power executive branch was off to the races, exactly as Thomas Jefferson had feared, and it’s been downhill ever since.

The United States ® is currently in the final death throes of the republic and headed towards secession, fracture and ultimate dissolution along the lines of the former Soviet Union which fell apart in 1991 when Boris Yeltsin stood on an army tank in Moscow square and urged Soviet soldiers not to fire on their own citizens.

The final stages of America’s collapse will be similarly chaotic and violent, as predicted by Armstrong Economics’ artificial intelligence forecasting system called Socrates which has never missed a single major economic or political prediction, often to the very day, in over 40 years.

Not a bad track record if you ask me.

Socrates is calling for the bottom to occur in 2032 which sounds about right.

And in case you haven’t noticed, let me assure you that the collapse has already begun, soon to be accompanied by civil war, a total economic reset and global kinetic conflict (WW III) perpetrated by a subset of competing, crazy people called Neocons.

Our mission as the proletariat feeding this monster with our taxes—should we decide to accept it—is to come together as ostensibly sane and rational individuals and unite in a friendly and non-violent way with the purpose of educating and supporting each other through the coming trials and tribulations.

We call this wildly disparate conglomeration of liberty-loving souls RISE, which should not be thought of as a membership, but more as an experience.

Which makes each of us a participant and not a member.

This is an important distinction since all memberships ultimately become corrupt.

And let us not forget Groucho Marx who stated that he would never join any club that would have him as a member.

RISE meets online, on Zoom, each week at 8:00PM U.S. Eastern time.

RISE also publishes an “underground” monthly newsletter called the RISE REPORT on the 15th of each month.

Participants in RISE are educated, informed, updated and entertained via several different, private Telegram groups.

Trust me when I say that the news we share is beyond juicy.

You can support our efforts by joining as a member—sorry, as a participant—for a lousy $9.11 a month which comes to just 29.95068493150685 cents per day.

Subscribe to donate monthly HERE.

If you can’t afford that, perhaps you could redeem some soda cans and bottles for the recycling bonus, or maybe volunteer some administrative, research or design skills?

If you prefer to meet behind the barn and make annual payment (at a nice discount) in silver, FRNs, ammo, whiskey or other useful items, let us know and we’ll be happy to accommodate.

As the weeks go by we will discuss a wide range of topics on our meetups, from the nature of liberty and Natural Law; to the historical relationship of humankind to the governments we keep creating (and why they always fail); to the true nature of money and how to grow and protect it; to best practices in survival living in a Mad Max grid-down scenario; to the curious nature of liberals and other forms of arrested development; to the very nature of our existence as conscious, loving beings and why we chose to be here at this time and place (…with a front row seat, no less!).

Altogether, it’s probably safe to say that RISE is nothing like you’ve ever experienced before—hopefully, for the better—and we look forward to your participation.

And there you have it.

And now a quick review of our first meetup.

WE DID IT! RISE HAS RISEN AGAIN!

We had a good first meetup this past Thursday night and covered a lot of ground… from why you probably will NOT be able to retire if you remain invested in dying dollars (and what to do instead)… to the difficulty in knowing how (and when) to prepare for the inevitable violent dissolution of America… and quite a bit in between.

You can download the meetup video playback HERE.

Feel free to share this video with anyone with the developmental maturity to address the subject matter with an open mind, even if this excludes some of your closest relatives.

BTW, guests are always welcome to attend a weekly meetup one time, or to view one video playback without being a contributing member, er, participant.

Our next meetup will be Thursday, April 18th at 08:00PM ET on www.ZoomWithGordon.com

To learn about our mission and purpose, read my Open Letter here.

BTW, anyone under the age of 21 is eligible to apply for annual participation in RISE “on the house” by submitting a 500-word essay on either of the following topics (no AI assistance allowed):

1) The major distinctions between direct and indirect taxation under the Constitution, and their applicability (or lack thereof) to the citizen working for a living with the 50 states of the union.

2) The power of the jury vs. the role of the judge in a courtroom trial as ruled upon in numerous Supreme Court cases.

Send your submission to [email protected] and good luck!

Got a question?

Shoot me an email and I’ll get back to you asap.

In parting, I wouldn’t put it past the Dems to cook up a black swan scenario between now and the federal presidential auction in November to throw the nation into chaos and thwart DJT’s determined efforts to retake the Oval Office, so be sure to set aside a pile of cash, and get those pantries well-stocked.

And never forget how the Soviets survived their collapse: vodka!

Cheers,

Gordon
