An Economy of Our Own: The Need for White Economic Relocalization
Feeling squeezed? White males need not apply.
Recently I was at a supermarket that uses the American flag for its logo. The ladies at the deli were handing out samples of buffalo chicken salad, and I asked if I could buy a pound of it. They said, “No, it only comes in sandwiches that were made at a warehouse in Massachusetts.” We can assume the sandwich assemblers were recent immigrants, possibly illegals. Then the ladies at the deli complained that their hours had been cut. I was infuriated. The process of outsourcing jobs and insourcing illegal and legal immigrants has massively accelerated.
What other conclusion can we draw from this article in the Hindustan Times entitled “US healthcare expansion means big business for India.” So let’s get this straight. We are borrowing money from China, to pay India to administer our healthcare system? While there are millions of unemployed?
War has been declared on us.
When white Americans have been outsourced and insourced out of our jobs, we won’t be able to fall back on the Welfare State. Welfare is not for people like us. People like us work to support the welfare state. When we have no work, there will be no welfare state.
Besides, the people I know, in the culture I grew up in, cannot stand to have our work taken away from us. We are proud, independent, hard working people, not a flock of “Social Services Sheeple” who can be bought off with food stamps and free cheese.
Outsourcing and insourcing are not products of “market forces.” They are products of sheer inequities of power. The reason you are being laid off and your job is being shipped overseas is because the people who control the commanding heights of the economy have the power to do it to you. If outsourcing is the imperative of impersonal market forces, why does it not happen to your bosses too? Simple: the reason corporate fat cats are not laid off and their jobs shipped to Bangalore where some bright young MBAs will do them for pennies on the dollar is because you don’t have the power to do it to them.
But you have more power than you think.
The key is economic relocalization: white Americans need to stop being employees who exist at the sufferance of evil elites and far-flung, vulnerable global networks. We need to retrain ourselves to look for opportunities to produce things for ourselves in as localized a manner as possible, and to encourage and support others in our communities who are doing the same thing.
We need to begin now, to get economic relocalization to reach critical mass while we still have the freedom to do so. We need to create something that is resilient enough that it can’t be outlawed or expropriated or crushed under the iron heel. We do not have much time left.
If we lose the country it’s our own damned fault. We are sitting atop more than enough resources; it’s just a matter or redirecting the resources into decentralized/localized rather than centralized/globalized economies.
Millions of ordinary laboring entrepreneurs can do things cheaper, better, more efficiently and more resiliently than Walmart and the US government. I have seen this with my own eyes time and again.
My focus is relocalization of the food supply, because this is the most basic form of local economy. We have to rebuild civilization from the ground up, and it all started with agricultural surpluses.
Right now we are no more than desperate hunter-gatherers of Federal Reserve Notes. All production and distribution is controlled through the fiat currency system, a diabolical network that can rob you of the fruits of your labor not only with printing presses, but merely with the stroke of a computer key.
Relocalization of the food supply will organize people on a micro-social level and teach us social intelligence again. With social intelligence we can turn our private car system into an ad hoc mass transit system, among other things. The only reason we don’t do that now is we lack social intelligence, which allows corporations and government to easily administer a centralized, granular control over us.
Agricultural relocalization will teach us the social intelligence we need to take back control of our own commerce. From this will proceed small workshops, “smith-shops” repair shops, flea markets and second hand trade – a million ways to ameliorate the painful economic contraction by withdrawing from and replacing the consumer-corporate economic model.
So the real mission is to increase social intelligence. Books won’t do it. This is something that must be learned from practice, from a radical change in “lifestyle.”
With social intelligence we can put Walmart out of business and laugh while the US government drowns in a vat of its own debt. That’s not our debt. We didn’t sign any loans to China, or agree to borrow money from Central Banks to give it to Israel or bail out Goldman Sachs or go to war on Iraq and Afghanistan.
If you are the sort of person that makes things happen, get in touch. I am not going to spell out the details of my easily replicated economic relocalization activities in this article, but I will talk to any individual I deem trustworthy. That is relocalization in practice.
You probably thought about this already, but a local currency would also of course enable your relocalisation plans… you could fit it into your relocalisation of food sources deal, as a form of coupon, for club members or something to that effect…
“…white Americans need to stop being employees who exist at the sufferance of evil elites and far-flung, vulnerable global networks. We need to retrain ourselves to look for opportunities to produce things for ourselves in as localized a manner as possible…”
Absolutely. I first grasped this many years ago, and the problems I faced with raising and schooling children, reassuring incredulous friends and relatives (not always successfully, to be sure) that I was not “throwing away” something valuable in cutting my ties, making it all work financially, etc., etc. are with me to this day. I have no regrets, but I have much sympathy with the many who are just coming to these sorts of realizations.
White Refugee,
Silver dollar coins are a ready made currency. They have a denomination on them and are actually 100% legal tender. Why reinvent the wheel or hassle with inventing a new currency that might not be tradeable outside of an insular community? The world can already accept silver dollar coins.
Silver coins are the only thing I give for my younger relatives for birthdays/Christmas. I think some of them think I am cheap, (woo, he gave me a dollar) but actually those things run about 18 bucks at the coin stores nowadays.
Inspiriting call-to-action by Rob Freeman. Silver (not gold: TOO valuable) coins will indeed be a major medium of exchange after the Zionist oligarchs wipe out what’s left of people’s savings by collapsing the dollar. In the meantime, they are an excellent inflation hedge and long-term investment. To find out about silver, try kitco.com; one excellent source for current US $1 (contains one oz. .999 pure silver, worth c. $18 at current mkt. price) coins is bulliondirect.com, and there are many others online. Over the last decade, while dollar has lost another 40% of its purchasing power, market value of silver has increased almost 300%. Beyond this, check out Katherine Austin Fitz’ site, solari.com. She was an insider in the Bush 41 regime, a long-term high-roller on Wall Street, and now thinks along lines similar to Ron Freeman’s.
Rob,
Of course silver dollars are great, and you can do so. I was making a suggestion, not giving an order. Local currencies generally keep money local, whereby the local money must purchase local goods from local farmers, etc. And hence is not useful for a wallmart or such chainstores, who generally suck money out of mains treet to send to wall street. But of course it was just an idea, and if you don’t like the idea, enough to give it an impartial enquiry; then don’t bother.
As far as I understood the principle of economic relocalisation it was to attempt to insulated local communities from the international financial tapeworm system. That is what i understood the focus of local currencies to be for.
But of course using silver dollars is by far a better and safer system than the current federal dollar or any of its international equivalents.
There are several local currencies in the US, see http://www.smallisbeautiful.org/local_currencies.html. As said above, US silver dollars are a ready made and universal currency.
Catherine Austin Fitts promotes “Solari Circles” (here: http://solari.com/blog/?p=1718) which is sort of an old fashioned investment club, but can work in a number of different areas.
“We lack social intelligence”
So many white people seem to have the idea that if something is not on the TV or in the corporate media, that it’s fringe or not serious, or even dangerous. Mass media has atomized white people and destroyed the traditional social institutions.
The conventional wisdom is, don’t go into business with friends, don’t borrow money from family. But what is the alternative – pay usury to foreign owned banks, and go into business with strangers?
Agricultural relocalization is huge on the left right now, and food co-ops have been around forever. All the tools are there, we just need to start using them.
“We need to begin now, to get economic relocalization to reach critical mass while we still have the freedom to do so. We need to create something that is resilient enough that it can’t be outlawed or expropriated or crushed under the iron heel. We do not have much time left.”
Brilliant. There are highly succesful minority groups in this country who seek to empower their own first at all levels of the economy. We must do the same.
Always the best content from these pdroiguios writers.
…’splain somethin’ to me…if the dollar craps out…why would gold or silver in any form be worth anything? All day long one sees TV ads for…”buy gold and silver, your best hedge against the falling dollar”. Well…if the dollar IS falling…then why would these genius’ want to take your worthless paper money in exchange for their precious gold and silver?…which if one looks at it rationally, they should be holding on to? It is all speculation…speculators are the ones who make a profit from this exchange…over a short period of time, this speculative paranoia drives the price of precious metal that you willing pay for…then in a swoop…the precious metal market tanks…again through speculation…because if the almighty dollar ever does crap out…your gold and silver will be worthless! Have a nice Easter exchange…
Ah yes, the E.F. Schumacher Society http://www.smallisbeautiful.org/. Thanks for that, White Socialism.

‘if the dollar craps out…why would gold or silver in any form be worth anything?’
There are many survivalists who believe that if the central government collapses and deadly Cuban paratroopers are shooting black crack-dealers in the city streets, then whites who have prepared too many canned goods will use silver bullion to trade with whites who have prepared too many cases of ammunition.
Meanwhile the rest of the world will be worried about whether China will be able to sell enough automotive components to India to justify arguments for the Chinese RMB as a reserve currency. Iran and Russia might sell their oil in any unit – perhaps for silver coins.
John Walters kicks it up a notch:
“many survivalists who believe that if the central government collapses … whites who have prepared too many canned goods will use silver bullion to trade with whites who have prepared too many cases of ammunition.”
“Meanwhile the rest of the world will be worried about whether China will be able to sell enough automotive components to India to justify arguments for the Chinese RMB as a reserve currency. Iran and Russia might sell their oil in any unit – perhaps for silver coins.”
This is a fair criticism, and one that cannot be ignored. We certainly cannot rely on a “collapse” scenario because TPTB can almost certainly keep the charade going for another generation or two. The central banks can manipulate gold and silver prices – as an institution – longer than any of us will be alive.
Focusing on gold (or silver) is short sighted. They have the uses, but specific minerals are not as significant as networks of human beings, and unless we are headed for a Red Dawn scenario – extremely unlikely – we won’t be saving silver coins to prepare against Doomsday.
If a local white community uses Ithaca hours, or silver coins, or airlines miles, it hardly matters. It’s the community itself – the network of trust – that matters, especially the ability to define insiders and outsiders.
So far, in the experience of white Americans – Arabs will sell their oil to us for gold and military protection. Japan will sell us amazing cars for t-bills, military protection, and a mostly-stable reserve currency.
We won’t go back to living in cabins on the frontiers, but this lucky situation may not last for much longer. Whites may need to strike a balance here.
Either way, a piece of cotton paper signed by Ben Shalom Bernake – or a digit in the computers of Bank of America – should not be given excessive significance.
I would tend to agree with White Socialism in that the community of trust is a primary asset in dire times if not all the time.
I would liken the precious metal umbrella scenario to one I faced at a small sheriff’s department I formerly worked for. Due to several incidents in rapid succession the decision was made to form a tactical response team.
The “gear queers” insisted that we simply did not have the resources for all of our material needs to form this team.
An old Vietnam era warhorse that had the respect of everyone spoke up and said that we could do it with what little we had which was basic body armor, shotguns, and pistols. His advice was simple…”all we need to be able to do is take what we have and be able to move, shoot, and communicate.”
Wise words that would apply to building a self reliant economy and community.
What is money? It’s a unit of exchange that two people agree have a certain value. The nice thing about silver is it takes the middle-man out of the picture. When you and I trade dollars there is always Ben Bernarke in the background, inflating the dollars we hand each other. He’s getting his cut, via infaltion. The entire repressive mechanism of FedGov relies on these dollars, which they create out of thin air. They can make as many as they need to buy off minority voters, or shore up Goldman-Sachs.
Not so with silver. An oz of silver is an oz of silver. They can hold or trade it, but they can’t create it out of thin air. So, ultimately it is much less subject to debasement than paper dollars.
A truly excellent article. Bravo, sir!
This is a great article. I would love only to deal with White people in every transaction, economic and otherwise, that I enter into. But it isn’t possible because of the fact that we are not administering to our own socioeconomic functions ourselves. They have all been commandeered by these evil anglo-elites and their vicious associates in the failed attempt to genocide the White race. We have survived that, but we definitely have lost our ‘social intelligence’ and networks. I’m going to start a carpet cleaning business in the next serveral months and one of the major selling points that I will is that I am a family-owned LOCAL business. This is something that White people are screaming for because virtually all of the other businesses are owned by non-Whites or by huge national companies.
One of the other areas that I would like to see White people take over is the corner store. The great thing about these places is that we can own them and often live in an upstairs with our families. Brilliant. That affords a huge amount of independence since you own the store and don’t have to pay a lease–which can be manipulated by those who own the plaza or whatever. I live in an area that has been taken over by koreans and what they would do is buy a plaza and get rid of the White business owners by simply refusing to renew their leases. In this way my people have been ethnically cleansed from this once beautiful White community, and it is happening all over where I live.
There will be a time when we will finally be able drag the White anglo-elites and their associates into genocide tribunals and give them the justice that they damned well deserve. But until then, we are going to have to re-learn how to live independently apart from all others, and gain the sociopolitical force that this kind of independence and financial success will nurture.
