CODE OF ETHICS

A. We support groups, causes, businesses and organizations that support our freedom oriented goals. We boycott or try to wean ourselves from those that don't. We stop helping build the prison by rejecting the offers of those that are acting against our interests, and promoting anti human agendas such as “climate change”, CRT, and sexual absurdity. We encourage others to do the same.

B. We discuss and debate multiple aspects of the issues we face, try to critically think things through to the truth. We value truth and real knowledge above all, and we strive to spread it in our everyday encounters. We speak up and speak out whenever we can, to try to wake-up and educate others, because a lack of knowledge is our worst enemy. We challenge false narratives where we find them. We resist and challenge and mock and ridicule fake news media and Big Tech at every opportunity.

C. We work on becoming more and more independent and self reliant and less and less compliant with anything tyranical. We pursue more resiliency and less reliance on corrupted systems that no longer serve us or civil society. We push back and find ways to do things differently. We support tried and true alternatives in medicine, media, food, education etc. We find joy in starving the beast.

D. We use cash and metals or barter as much as possible. We try to educate merchants and others about why cash matters & why CBDC, Digital ID, Vax Pass systems are a slavery we cannot allow.

E. We stand up for and defend the priceless value of human liberty whenever we can.

• Loyalty, Integrity, Honesty, Transparency, Accountability

• Trustworthiness, Reliability, Good Intentions
