I’ve said it before but it bears repeating:

The 99% Revolution is a revolution that rejects the traditional bloody forms of past revolutions whether or not they succeeded or failed by any other standard.

No guns, no violence just privacy, security and freedom.

The 99% Revolution is peaceful but how does it work or better put, why does it work when other forms of revolution have failed or left a lot of collateral damage in their wakes?

In order to transform revolution into both a peaceful but radical transformation with a coinciding transition from a present inferior form of social and economic human organization into a future superior form, one must know how to think about this in terms of one’s own enlightened self-interest.

It’s one good way to think about this without confusing it for something else like a traditional revolution and you don’t want to do that.

One of the chief failures of the past when it came to revolutionary thought and action was that the leaders lied to everyone. They told one another lies and told their discontented masses more lies. They made themselves out to be necessary and then this concentration of power made them as bad or worse than the previous autocracies that they claimed to want to overthrow for the betterment of their various countries or mankind in general.

The 99% Revolution requires no such leaders including me or anyone else.

The 99% Revolution is already an extant fact of life and this brief article will outline how this is true and what you can do about it yourself so that you can benefit from it in your uniquely self-interested way.

The 99% Revolution was not possible before a technological solution showed up to facilitate its success. That technology is comprised in Project SAFE although the founders of this project may or may not have realized the awesome strength of their value proposition at the time they began working on its development. I have yet to discuss this with the principals.

Nevertheless, as this autonomous, distributed, encrypted network offers anonymous people the ability to self-aggregate and to feel free to speak openly and SAFEly (without fear of repercussion), there will be no way to stop the 99% Revolution from succeeding.

In fact, there is no way to stop the 99% Revolution already.

To remind everyone, the purpose of the 99% Revolution is for people to be able to personally operationalize the restoration of their own privacy, security and freedom. This takes both a robust and ubiquitous technology and people utilizing that technology to re-secure their own natural rights which have been taken from them or which they or their ancestors previously surrendered.

However, and this an essential point, if all the SAFE Network provided was an ability to SAFEly communicate, it would be deficient in its stated purposes. It would fall short of being able to facilitate the 99% Revolution.

The 99% Revolution requires that rebels (you and me) have access to an alternative private robust and ubiquitous economy. This is essential to keep the brutes and thugs from threatening us with starvation.

When we can survive without the permission of or submission to dysfunctional elite systems and without having to 100% rely upon state monopolies of money with tier 2 fiat currencies, we can gain the normal 3% of a given population required to both foment and pull off the societal change we’d like to see.

In short, with about 240 million people worldwide (much less than Facebook or Twitter subscriptions), who have adopted the SAFE Network, the 99% Revolution will have completely succeeded. This bloodless revolution will then spread from tier 4 (the SAFE Network and the affiliated SafeCoin economy) into tier 2 (skipping the bruteWorld & thugLand of the new tier 3: a post-net-neutrality world that is now being created by the elites).

The 99% Revolution has already started but it will flourish once it’s “inside” a secure, private and free environment of the SAFEspace “inside” the SAFE Network.

Surviving and indeed, prospering without 100% reliance upon the world as we know it is now becoming possible with the invention of the SafeCoin economy.

In previous articles I showed why SafeCoin is a superior altcoin to others now occupying more dominant positions in the insecure and public cryptosphere. Their dominance will fade or rather, SafeCoin will come to be king of the cryptocurrencies because it is a better solution and DOESN’T exist on inferior tiers but is the coin of the realm of tier 4. SafeCoin’s superior and economical proofing process is integrated directly into the SAFE Network and as a token will act like cash and facilitate the growth and development of the SAFE Network’s economy.

So, all of this I’ve just said is a bit of a review but why does the 99% Revolution have to succeed?

Because, all it takes is one person: you or me or anyone else will do.

As crazy as this sounds, it’s also true that a 99% rebel never needs to divulge his identity ever to anyone. The 99% Revolution can, in fact, succeed without anyone knowing the identity of their fellow ‘brothers and sisters in arms.’ The ability to SAFEly communicate also extends to the ability to SAFEly act and to transact personal business without the interference of third parties, especially brutes and thugs who want to enforce their unjust rules upon everyone everywhere.

When we take the ability to coerce away from brutes and thugs, we operationalize the 99% Revolution and achieve a measure of success in restoring our natural rights, the general aim of this perfectly peaceful, effective and unstoppable revolt.

By following the principles of effective action outlined in an earlier article, we avoid the mistakes of past revolutions where one autocratic system was replaced by another one through the ruthlessness of a new bunch of lying pseudo-revolutionaries.

Here’s the first chance that our people-populated planet has had to have a completely peaceful revolution. The phenomenon of the 99% Revolution is now changing the entire way that humans self-aggregate and act in their own self-interest.

It’s very early but it’s very REAL. In fact, the 99% Revolution succeeds every time one rebel secures his or her own privacy, security and freedom and then shares this result with someone else.

Just making a decision to adopt the SAFE Network now, even before it is launched, is an existential act on your part to re-secure your own natural rights.

It isn’t very necessary to “push” people to share or to get them to “join.” Once benefits are enjoyed and obvious, the 99% Revolution will take off like wildfire in much the same way as news of a good movie travels naturally from one movie-goer to someone else who hasn’t yet seen the movie.

So, we need a road map. And, here it is. It includes three related actions to get us from the world as we know it to the better world of privacy, security and freedom.

The 3 Ds of the 99% Revolution are: decentralize, disrupt and discard.

These verbs tells us what to do or how to act or what will happen from the beginning before ubiquity and robust adoption of the SAFE Network has naturally occurred. It takes us from that time (pretty much right now) until the time when pervasive use of the SAFE Network with abundant and strong network utilities are common facts of life (the future).

We start with decentralizing.

We owe a great debt of gratitude to forerunners in both the real and virtual worlds including applications now being developed for the insecure cryptosphere of the same ol’ crappy internet. This will continue to go on but we 99% Rebels are taking it further.

Project SAFE extends the idea of decentralization or decimating hierarchies to a whole new level and into a new tier 4 sphere that is only now being invented for the very first time in human history: the new frontier of TRULY autonomous and distributed networking.

By making everything as algorithmic as possible and without servers or needing human administrators to make the network function properly, historical legacies of inefficiency and corruption are either eliminated entirely or so severly curtailed that such problems are not likely to occur in the first place or if they do, they are automatically identified and dealt with before spreading and infecting the network environment generally.

No hierarchy means no one is in charge. Or, put another way, anyone who is ego-maniacal or possessing sociopathic tendencies will not be attracted to a decentralized world that cannot be co-opted or controlled for nefarious purposes.

Decentralizing leads naturally into disrupting existing status quo systems.

Anything at all, whether it’s a service, a product, a network, an idea when held or utilized widely can be said to be decentralized. Without any central control, people may adopt it because of the merit of the actual thing/idea, out of their own self-interest because they judge that thing/idea to be better than something else for any number of reasons. In a decentralized environment there is a conspicuous absence of compulsory and inferior influences warping or preventing the meritorious adoption of superior things/ideas proposed by self-aggregated wise crowds.

With this absence of compulsion, the rate of adoption of superior things/ideas increases. When this occurs, a natural disruption of the status quo happens without anyone intentionally trying to disrupt anything. Old inferior systems begin to fail due to their lack of public support and increasing abandonment as people opt-out of these and opt-in to superior decentralized systems. They are able to do this even before the decentralized systems have become ubiquitous and robust. In other words, people having a choice, generally choose better things. When they do, inferior things begin to falter all on their own.

As such old things begin to malfunction, peoples’ natural lives are now not threatened because of the superior alternative system they are choosing to utilize instead of the old autocratic one. They are no longer depending upon the old malfunctioning system. At some point eventually, there are no longer good reasons left to prop up such inferior systems (it is an imperfect analogy but think: the collapse of communism). We can let dinosaurs die without having to go out and slay them or any other dragons.

Once old things are dead, all that is left is discarding the carcasses and cleaning up the environment.

In fact, this will be a big growth industry one day: throwing away all the old skeletons or finding smart ways to recycle them. Examples of this already exist on a small scale with things like remodeling old factories into loft flats in previously run down parts of a city.

So, that’s it. The 3 Ds: decentralize, disrupt and discard.

Follow the 99% Revolution’s principles of effective action and abide by its non-violent credo. Become part of the peaceful 99% Revolution.

It’s the end of the world as we know it. Please remember to feel fine.

And as always…
