I have been following Storm Clouds Gathering for years now.

When he closes his videos on YouTube, he will often ask, "If this resonates with you..." His message does resonate with me. As an electrical being, his message connects. He speaks in a way that I understand on both a language and an electrical level.

I asked him, in a reply to his latest video, to join us here on Steemit. His message needs to be heard. It needs to connect with the blockchain. The people here will feel his message and have it resonate with them too. He is the proverbial virus in the matrix. His message will change you and facilitate a positive connection with others.

In the video, he foretells of the future. He speaks of unity at a local level. It is a voluntary unity and one built from love and appreciation, not one built from fear or necessity. His message is that in the next paradigm we will come together as tribes without aggression or unnecessary means of control.

It is a genuine paradox. The world needs to connect at a local level without dividing it with imaginary borders, nation states, or meaningless ethnic divisions. By coming together in that way, by making those electrical connections, we will save the world. There will be no need for external conflicts between groups, and peace will be the new norm. We will have evolved as a species.

Today I was speaking with a good friend of mine, @grow-pro, about solutions at the local level.

---

He is working hard to provide quality food for his community as a small farmer. His vision includes restaurants that serve you food from the farms right next door to them. Every necessity will be locally provided and connected. Those connections will be between family, friends, and neighbors too.

The bounds at that level will be strong and meaningful. Everyone involved will benefit from them in many ways, but the best benefit will be the fact that those local people are trusted and have a vested interest in the quality of products and services provided. They have deep and personal connections, not distant and impersonal ones.

Steemit spans the globe and has no limits, but the best connections remain at the local level. As a species we are tribal by nature, but being tribal does not mean cutting out the rest of the tribes. It simply means we work best at a local level and make the best connections at shorter distances. Then we voluntarily interact with other tribes for expanded learning, security, and commerce.

No tribe can survive on its own for long after all. As with all services required by a tribe, security also works best at the local level. The whole idea of the militia is having security handled by the members of your tribe. Family, friends, and neighbors secure their homes best. This is why I'm a strong supporter of defensive forces at a local level, and I abhor standing arms because of the threat they represent to liberty.

Virginia's Bill of Rights, Section 13, explains it well.

---

That a well-regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defense of a free state; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided as dangerous to liberty; and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power.

---

It does not expressly state it, but it is speaking about the local tribe. It's the same concept for food production as it is for defense too. Everything works best where the electrical connections are strongest. The people involved at that intimate level cannot be corrupted by outside control systems. They cannot be blinded by nationalism, and they cannot be fooled by propaganda.

You should be making connections with your local family, friends, and neighbors to build defensive networks. Use the Cell 411 application to make the connections more efficient and powerful.

Connect with the same people to provide food for the community and other necessary products and services. Do this while also reaching out to other communities through Steemit to make wider, less powerful, but just as important connections.

The future of our planet depends on it!
