The World Organization of Liberty Factions, W.O.L.F. There exists a need for a counter force to the organized Globalist corporatist elite faction. A world organization of liberty factions could be that counter force.by Michael McDonnough

Saturday, July 4, 2009
This 4th of July holiday I thought was the perfect time to discuss my concept for a world organization that brings together the various political and social organizations that are interested in the advancement of liberty and not just for the United States of America but for all nations. While I admire the efforts of the Campaign for Liberty that has formed around Ron Paul's grassroots organization it is mainly centered on the United States. I am thinking that a more distributed and virtual organization that is primarily based online and has truly global membership might be an important coalition building system to be an adjunct to their efforts. There exist a range of liberty factions in every nation that has a need to be nurtured and can use the help of other likeminded liberty factions around the world.
Our various efforts are in direct opposition to the forces of global corporatism, and socialist collectivism and that is some of the things we all share in common. These types of corrupting influence organizations already have global reach, organization, coordination of their efforts and significant funding. The various liberty factions around the world are mostly separate and while they are often inspired by each other's words and actions there is no integration of their various efforts and certainly no sharing of fund raising or any kind of organized effort at translating the important works of freedom writers that are key to spreading the message of freedom and liberty to nations around the world. As the good Dr. Ron Paul has said, "Freedom is Popular" but it has to have an organization that is truly global in its reach in order to take on the globalist elite in any way that would be a success.
The concept I am presenting in this short article is simple but could have a far reaching impact if it can be widely and quickly adopted by these various liberty factions that exist worldwide. We will need to figure out a domain name for the main site and it should be mirrored and secured so that it is difficult to attack and take down. We should organize in such a way that we are difficult to detect in our actions and events until after those efforts have been brought to fruition. I would propose that the site have a p2p open source encrypted message board, chat system, and uses an open source system such as the I2P as an anonymizing network. Source: http://www.i2p2.de/index.html
For a type of distributed fund raising system that can effectively be used worldwide to get needed funds to struggling liberty factions we have to also use a payment system that is flexible and difficult to stop from one central source. For instance we could not use paypal as it is blocked in many countries and is highly centralized. Online gold trading systems have been disabled or destroyed by a combination of greed, stupidity, corruption by organized crime and of course government intervention. There is a good page on the various evolving concepts for this that is titled Crowd funding, source: [Crowd-Funding]. This of course is going to take some thought and these can be best discussed after the site has been set up and enough of the interested liberty factions have joined up to reach a consensus.
In order to understand each other of course we will need to have our words translated. English has become a very common trade language but I feel language might still be a very limiting factor for our worldwide outreach and organization efforts. I would suggest that we have on our site an on the fly translation software program, but we will also need volunteers to massage this raw translation work into more coherent readable formats. A good start for this might be for us to come up with the $30 US to get a pro version of this Taragana Translator Pro, [Translator]
As has been stated countless times and that includes me saying it Liberty types are all very independent minded and getting together any organization of them in even in a small area has been compared to herding cats. I think for this reason that the World Organization of Liberty Factions should be primarily online and our meetings and activities informal and consensual. Setting up a meeting time for instance when people are scattered all over thw world is not practical. Most liberty factions in the world are also poorly or marginally funded so cost savings is the key to early success in this effort. I would be very happy to read any ideas that others might have and if someone can do the initial hosting for such an effort please let me know that you have an interest.
Initial organization is best done by communicating with me privately. I can be reached only by the use of the Pidgin open source software and you must have the OTR plugin activated. Here is a link to the portable version that you can even take to the library or internet caf with you on a USB device. Source: [Pidgin-OTR]. My username is tetragramion. I check this several times a day so we can at some point discuss this concept further if you would like to get involved. To download the organization graphic use this link. Source: [WOLF-image]

WOLF? Just what we don't need...a self-applied label based in anger and rage. Anger may be what motivates some liberty advocates, but it won't consistently motivate the wider majority of people to join the movement. When swaying the masses, anger can only work in short spurts. Most of the time, it backfires.
If you want a label that motivates people, try coming up with one that reflects hope, possibilities, confidence, and/or excitement, rather than one that reflects predatorism and vengeance.

Hi Michael,
Unless you can show how W.O.L.F will help get my neighbors involved in candidate selection to pervent neocons and socialists from being promoted by the GOP and Democratic parties this idea sounds worthless. Any political activity that overlooks this basic step in getting results politically is nothing more than a club that strokes your ego....just like Campaign for Liberty....it took Ron Paul's GOP activism and made it palatable for folks who don't have the backbone to participate in politics constructively per Dr. Paul's life-long GOP example. (With one minor mis-step in 1988 that has tainted his credibility ever since.)
You promote your wolf club while socialists take over you local school board, city council, fire board and county commissioners. Until enough individuals shun this kind of totally worthless club and get out to affect who is on the ballot for these local offices in 10,000 local communities across the country you will continue to have reasons to piss and moan and look for clubs to join. Bonus if the club has a cool patch.? WTF? This is so sad.

I think it should be pointed out here that this is not an organization for an individual to join and it is certainly not a club. What I am discussing here is an organization that supports existing liberty factions worldwide not as I state to supplant them but to support the ones that already exist or nurture new ones with a global effort.
Walt, where in this article do you see any mention of or discussion of anger or rage? Did you read the article at all or just the title?
I think both of the comments here are based on a rather thin reading of the material in the article. What I am proposing is a way to get the various liberty factions throughout the world to work in concert instead of as a bunch of lone wolves. The reference is also to describe how a lone a wolf is dangerous but not particularly effective at taking down the big game that will help out the entire group. As a pack or a larger group the individuals acting in concert are far more effective.
I am sorry if you did not read the article and instead made your comment in ignorance of the concept I am proposing as seems to be the case in these first two comments.
Again this is not a club I am proposing but more along the lines of a cartel or working group, a think tank of like minds and also a funding channel that will bring the force of a multitude of different groups to bear on the global effort to promote liberty and freedom. Together we are far more powerful than as small regional groups acting alone.

You miss the point, Michael. All I reacted to was your acronym: WOLF. If you're expecting the average person to read past the acronym to see if there are any further signs of anger or rage, you delude yourself. The typical non-member won't care about the rest of your article. All they'll focus on is the acronym.

I do not think your assumption is based on anything more than your own opinion. I do not see wolf as anything about anger or hatred. I am certain that I am not alone in that. It is also not a general public membership organization. It does not address the public at large at all. It is an organization of like minded smaller liberty factions acting as one in a larger global effort not a club for individuals to join as I stated.
Perhaps you would care to elaborate why WOLF has negative connotations to you. Then perhaps I can understand why you feel that way. For me WOLF is about how individual groups can work in concert to be more effective than acting alone. We are facing a well organized global effort to irradicate liberty and freedom We need to act in concert in order to deal with this effort against us. As individuals and small groups we have little chance for success. That is what I propose here.

Don't limit your survey of people who like WOLF to people already interested in the movement. Talk to non-political people, people who know little or nothing about the issues involved, and ask them if they like the idea of joining something called WOLF. I'm confident you'll find that overall the impression people have of wolves is generally far more negative than you believe, not positive.

Walt, I just do not see how you are missing the jist of this so completely. This is not a general membership organization I am talking about. I have no interest in surveying people outside the liberty movements as they are not being sought out and asked to join. No one individual is being ask at all in fact. This is a unification of groups for a worldwide effort to support liberty factions within the existing political groups or to support new groups.
What possible use would a survey of non-political people who know little or nothing about the issues be in the formation of a unified support organization for liberty factions around the world?

Oh, I get it, Michael. I'm certain that YOU don't get it.
Let's assume, just for the sake of discussion, that you manage to get all the liberty factions united under one acronym: WOLF. It won't happen, but put that reality aside for a moment. A miracle occurs, and all the liberty factions join WOLF. By your analysis, you can declare victory.
But what's the purpose of WOLF (other than to unite liberty factions)? Presumably, it's to use that unity to achieve change. How will that be done? I doubt that you're expecting the wolves to become violent revolutionaries. So, that leaves political change. In other words, WOLF's primary purpose is to achieve political change.
Well, in order to achieve such change, you have to get the masses supporting you. That's the point where you ask the masses to effectively join WOLF...as a supporter if not an actual member. That's where I'm saying your entire effort must self-destruct, because the masses will never support an organization known as WOLF, no matter how right or just their cause might be.
In effect, all you end up doing by "successfully" uniting all liberty factions under the name WOLF is to guarantee that the liberty movement wins the short-term battle by losing the long-term war.

First let me just say that in concept the organization I am discussing in this article is not designed to unite liberty factions under one acronym. My concept for an organization is more like a support organization, think tank, and funding stream. The unification of actions that might result will by the nature of this kind of informal organization be mostly unseen by the general public.
You stated: “What's the purpose of W.O.L.F.”
It is by design a group of likeminded liberty factions dedicated to advancing liberty worldwide. The liberty factions in the various political parties around the world have some of the smallest membership of any other faction. In some nations there is no above ground liberty faction at all in fact because individual liberty, personal empowerment, and freedom it represents is of great concern to the forces in control. In those nations the leadership are aligned with Globalist Corporatism, and or Socialist Collectivism which are the primary veins of dominant social control throughout the world. They have at present no form of assistance what so ever. The W.O.L.F. would provide them with assistance in the forms that are detailed in the article.
You stated: “Well, in order to achieve such change, you have to get the masses supporting you.”
I beg to differ. During our own Revolutionary War the masses were certainly not behind the Liberty Movement, who were labeled traitors and terrorist by King George and the masses were not behind them at all. Even if they agreed with them on principle they did not dare stand against the King. It went against the prevailing current which had been hundreds of years of Monarchy. This will likely be the same result in many nations that yearn for liberty and freedom. In the United States this early struggle is not fresh in the minds of the public so they have no idea what the cost of liberty can be.
You stated: “That's where I'm saying your entire effort must self-destruct, because the masses will never support an organization known as WOLF, no matter how right or just their cause might be.”
When the liberty factions of the world need the strength of the W.O.L.F. they will seek it out. When they have achieved their victory and have achieved their goal of liberty they will no longer need that strength and will stand on their own. When our services are no longer required that is a good thing. Others will need us and will seek our assistance and the struggle will continue with our unshakable support.
I expect many liberty factions will not overtly support us at all. Our efforts may be unknown to the general public for the most part.
I don't think the WOLF concept could hurt, but perhaps it could, because it would have to be of a scope that would make it vulnerable to a globalist takeover. I don't want to see some good and some fake organizations rolled into one big group that will no doubt be taken over and run by covert globalist. Globalist run most of the opposition groups as it is. Mike, I respect your efforts, but Walt knows the globalist achilles heel. Just simply remove them from office by independents and thinkers on the left and right uniting to elect a slate of purely anti-globalist candidates. I hear all this talk from vets who are really mad and they say stuff like, 'we need a revolution'. And where would that go. Who would be the enemy. After we win the revolution, wouldn't we have to win local and congressional elections to hold power. Or would a revolution include throwing out the constitution and voting rights? I ran for congress in San Diego's 52nd district against the globalist democrat and the fake-conservative (Duncan Hunter, whose Daddy voted for the Fannie Mae Bailout, and who Sponsored REAL ID). I was harassed from the moment I declared and now they are trying to put me in jail for half a year for speaking at a debate. They have the whole gang after me. Judges, The Chamber, The local GOP, etc. The mighty defenders of the left - like the ACLU and US Civil Rights Commission - laugh at my requests for help (I really didn't expect less). The reason they are expanding a huge amount of resources to destroy me, is because I was the first person in probably 25 years who ran as a independent in Southern California (in any type of election). I didn't get far, but it sacred them to death. They are freaked-out about me running again in 2010. They know that with independent registration hovering around 30% and with another half of all dems and republicans leaning independent, anything could happen if an independent makes the ballot. I was a constitutionally qualified candidate, but they hassled me to death to keep me from getting the signatures to make the ballot. 50% of the people are anti-globalist, so a slate of 100% anti-globalist candidates could sweep races nationwide. It has to come down to anti-globalist versus globalist of the two major parties. The numbers are in our favor, the time is now. Start getting to run for congress in 2010 in your district as the 100% anti-globalist, independent candidate. They can only get away with harassing me because I was the only independent around. Politically speaking, I'm waving a golf club out on the fairway during a thunderstorm; so don't be deterred by what they are doing to me. Why can't you get 5 dedicated anti-globalist to run as a coalition in the 5 congressional districts closest to you. It's important to take education and other local board seats away from globalist lunatics, but more power resides higher up. If globalist still hold all top positions, local control will be a start, but winning higher offices - immediately - must be part of the attack. You think that scares the globalist. You can support each others efforts as a group and if all 5 make the ballot, the press will be forced to acknowledge your existence and message. The rest could be history. Freedom worldwide hinges on freedom in the US. All the marbles are on the table right here in the US, right now; and we need to sweep all globalist from power in the absolute simplest way possible. We must run against them for powerful positions, and hammer on their globalist connections. If all globalist are identified and run from office en-masse by 2012, we have a chance of still turning things around. Then again, 2010 might be our last chance. As freedom goes in the US, so it goes in the world. The globalist know that. They will punish us with financial and biological terror when we come close to expunging the lot of Harvard whackos, so it will not be simple even if we win at the ballot box. But that's the place to start, and it would take a minimal amount of effort on the part of Americans to win that battle, as opposed to a battling the globalist with inferior weaponry and logistical support. Let's build politically related, anti-globalist logistical support for all kindred spirits who are willing to take on the globalist where power resides (in office).

Joe,
Thanks for the message and for sharing your story. It is an interesting one. I think you have some good social engineering skills and might make a fine politician. I have a different approach. I think politics is dead my friend and business and law are the best way to deal with the globalist agenda. Head on is the only way and that will come from disruptive technology and an exersize of tort law. The big corporations that are in bed with crook politicos are most vulnerable in the crimes they have commited and gotten away with by the right application of bribe money to the right officials.
Disruptive technology to bring about an end to their monopolies on the one hand and channel the funds from that activity into legal battles against the environmental and human rights voilations of the corporatist. This exposes the bad apples of the crooks in powerful places and opens the door for candidates that will wipe the slate clean with a clean run against a proven crooked establishment figure. Viral video of them being caught in the act does not hurt either if anyone has some of those they would like to post.
Nothing against your purely political approach but power is based on financial levels more than political ones. Win the money in court and by making technology that takes their markets away and you will have a base of finance to stand on more than just some hard to motivate sheeple power behind your efforts.
WOLF is the perfect acronym for the organization you describe. Your graphic of the mighty wolf is absolutely fantastic! I nominate the three wolf moon shirt as our official uniform. Who will second the three wolf moon shirt's nomination? http://www.amazon.com/Mountain-Mens-Three-Short-Sleeve/dp/B002HJ377A
