Hello, this is Frank O’Collins for Wednesday 17th September 2014 and thank you for taking the time to read and listen to the Ucadia blog for this week entitled “Ucadia Communities Part (1): An introduction and why we need to change from the failed models of society”.

By the words “Ucadia Communities”, I mean the framework of Ucadia Campuses, within Ucadian Provinces within Ucadia Universities we’ve discussed before and which you can go and read about on any of the Ucadia Union sites such as Americas-Union.Org or Oceanic-Union.org or even Globe-Union.Org.

These are autonomous and semi-autonomous self governing communities founded on the principle of the Golden Rule of Law and of Justice and Fair Process as listed in Article 7 and Article 8 of the Constitutions and Charters of the Unions I just mentioned; and that we no longer have to accept the present Western-Roman System which is founded on everyone of us being a bonded slave; and everyone of us being cursed by original sin; and everyone of us being dead to law and any rights; and everyone of us now being a thing, a commodity and less than an animal.

By the words “failed models of society” I mean just what I said – models of social order designed to keep a few in perpetual power while the rest of us are doomed to a cycle of perpetual war and brief prosperity; and of one generation in every three of each family having a brief glimpse of wealth only then to have it stripped away by the pirates and agents of the elite through taxes, fines and arbitrary recessions.

This is not how life is supposed to be. This is not sustainable or fair or equitable existence. It is madness, utter and unsustainable madness that is killing more and more people through poisoned food, poisoned environment, poisoned media messages, stress and suicide. So I say as it has been said before ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

There are alternatives and literally millions and millions of people across the planet who are continuing to find ways to get partially off the slave grid –to grow their own food; or to do exchanges of good without debt notes; or to build their own housing; or to care for one another. 

The internet is awash with tens upon tens of thousands of social networks and societies. But tonight, not only do I want to share and introduce again the thinking and design behind the Ucadia communities and why the model is structured the way it is, but also why the 21 years of developing superior codes of law, forms and procedures for working together, smarter social policies for generating prosperity and harmony; and alternate models of currency; and even addressing and correcting the fundamental cultural stories and narratives infected with the Mundi Mind Virus that we are all cursed by Original Sin, that makes Ucadia not yet another model of societies, but a social network model for social networks – or in other words – a way for different social networks and societies proclaiming similar ideals to actually come together without losing their identity and become stronger, not weaker.

Now, it is not easy to build a model that is a network for existing and different networks. It takes time – lots of time and effort and patience. For example, have a look at Article 6 on any of the Constitutions and Charters of the Unions I just mentioned. There you will see a summary of what the Ucadia Model is. It is an immense amount of work to build a common framework upon which diverse groups can find similar ground. It is a lifetime of work and yet more still needs to be done.

This is one of the reasons I resisted the forces a few years back in promoting and wanting to propel Ucadia forward into building communities – because the very act of creating a new community is not new. We already live in a least three to four communities – our street or town or suburb or county; and our larger city or state; and then our tribe or nation. On top of this, many then belong to at least one or more other communities such as Facebook, or other groups. So the idea of organically building a community from scratch is not only old news, it is something that could take a very long time – because you are competing against existing loyalties and limited time and resources.

But instead, what if we found a model that addresses the inequalities deliberately built into the existing failed systems and by-pass all the rubbish that the political classes and industrial corporate classes continue to feed us? For example, that even to solve basic health care is an impossible challenge.  What utter bullshit. As I said a few months ago, Health Care amounts to roughly 10% of the global economic activity of the world, with around half or US $5.3 trillion spent on expensive, patented synthetic pharmaceutical medicines controlled by a handful of elite Amorican Pirate families and their companies with 90% of these replicating the properties of natural herbal and narcotic plants that could be grown for free!  Yes free!

When you take into account the illegal drugs trade of a trillion dollars worldwide along with half a trillion for wasted efforts in law enforcement and the fact that a majority of illegal drug money goes into funding terrorist organizations, you could end the funding of terror, end the pain of much of the world, give the world back at least $6 trillion to be spent on jobs, education and real quality of health overnight, if you had community policies that were not so deliberately corrupt and evil as the policies of this bat-shit crazy and failed model called Western society.

The same could be said for financial services globally. The world spends approximately another US $4.3 trillion on global finance and insurance networks of the criminally insane elite charging fees on average of 1000% or more on the real cost of the technology, not necessarily their bloated and inefficient bureaucracies. Now, imagine a fully autonomous and self healing and regulating financial model – that cannot be corrupted or skewed, that eliminates entirely the concept of interest rates and fractionalization and creating money out of thin air and excessive charges. Could you imagine the productivity of people in such a system where banks no longer could play god and steal the wealth of people?  Well that is precisely what the Ucadia Financial System is about and the system we will be discussing in detail over coming weeks when we go through these blogs on Ucadia communities.

So this is the purpose of the blog tonight- not to try and sell yet another model of communities to you and others who have already heard all the promises that other people have made – but about how we can work together, regardless of whether we are the leaders of a large community or small; or whether we belong to four existing communities, or one hundred.

Nor is it about pulling down the image of one or more community groups on the internet in order to try and encourage people to come to this idea. Yes, I may on occasions use some fruity language when describing remedy gurus and internet con artists – because seeing people lose everything through such false behaviour really pisses me off. But when it comes to people trying to genuinely make a better world, even if they have differences of opinion with Ucadia or even their opinion of Frank O’Collins- well these are minor issues and I hope that tonight I can answer and address some of these objections.

Because there is a lot to get through and I do not want to bombard or overwhelm people, I will be dividing the information up into a series of blogs and audios, starting with this first one covering the high level issues around Ucadia Communities – such as what are they? Why are they designed the way they are? Why the community model is about empowering existing groups and communities first, more than starting from scratch? 

I also want to address some of the fundamental issues about building prosperous and harmonious communities in the first place- what makes a community thrive:? While others wither and die? 

Then next week, I’d like to spend the blog and time on how people can get involved now – specifically on Ucadia Campuses- the different types of campuses and how to get them registered and active as well as how existing societies can establish a Campus and even acquire Province recognition as a Society Member and even State Member of Ucadia.

Then in two weeks time, I want to spend the blog focusing on the establishment of temporary administrations for Ucadia, called the Ucadia Ecclesia Foundations- with the specific tasks of helping campuses grow and coordinate discussions with existing Societies and even larger internationally recognized society bodies about the Ucadia model. I’ll be showing the Constitutions for these temporary administrations and how these can even register as a temporary bridge between Ucadia and the Western world at a University or National level and the bylaws of any such regional body.

Then once we have this sound background on what are Ucadia Communities, and how you can get started now and how temporary administrations get started, I want to go through in detail the Ucadia Financial System and why the growth of the Ucadia Communities will also see the birth of the Ucadia Financial System as a way of promoting prosperity between Members.

With all this in mind, let’s get started first on the foundational questions of what are the building blocks of a community? And how this might help us in evaluating the Ucadia Model of communities?

What is the basic building block of a community?

Of course living men and women, adults and children, are the smallest units of any society. Yet when we speak of a community we mean when “two or more living men and women come together under some common purpose or cause”.  So it must be something larger than just one living man or woman.

It is unsurprising then that the smallest building blocks of a community have remained largely unaltered until the past 140 years being Family, Tribe, Village and Sanctuary. The new addition – thanks to the Illuminati and ruling elite - is the concept of the Residence, the resting place of the dead or criminally insane or enemies of the state, also sometimes referred to as a “household”.

“The Family”

In any event, the first elemental community is the concept of a Family, being a Patriarch or Matriarch and kin who serve at the direction of the Patriarch or Matriarch. The family was and in some way remains the essential elemental building block of any community.

Yet it can also be a model for very large communities and organizations.  For example, cults are based upon the Family Community Model. So are religions, where power is concentrated in a solitary figure at the top of a pyramid, which then dispenses his or her power to lower and lower levels of minions. A Monarchy is another example of the Family model. In the United States, the concept of Parens Patrie is perceiving the President to be the head of the family in contradiction to the alleged intention of the United States Constitution.

In fact many of the communities that have sprung up on the internet and taken the truth movement and chat rooms by storm are based on a Family and as a result, sadly not all of them survive or thrive or produce positive outcomes.

You see, unlike some of the other basic archetypes of the smallest elements of community, a Family Community Model exists upon the charisma, the fame, the influence and strength of the leader – which is why such people who step up into the spotlight and start promoting communities almost inevitably are dealing with different levels of Messiah Syndrome and being a Guru, or Prophet, or Messenger.

To be fair, and just to prove that in this discussion I am not oblivious to the criticism leveled at Ucadia by using Frank O’Collins as a weapon of attack – many have tried and still try to belittle, attack, obscure and desperately scare people away from reading about Ucadia by claiming Ucadia is based on a Family Community Model with Frank O’Collins as the Patriarch, the Architect and some kind of Messiah.

Such propaganda and deliberate misinformation is complete and utter horseshit, particularly when someone takes just five minutes to have a look at any part of the Ucadia Model. In fact, let me quote item (xiv) from Article 6 that I mentioned earlier as a link on any of the Constitutions and Charters. This is what the clause says in black and white – repeated on more than a dozen sites including Ucadia.com:

The Ucadia Model is completely autonomous and self governing in accord with its own rules and laws with no Supreme Ruler, or Messiah, or Prophet, or Guru, or Absolute Sovereign, or Architect; and the original author and founder has irrevocably given, conveyed and transferred all Rights, Title, Uses and Claims through his signed and sealed Voluntatem Et Testamentum, also known as his Will and Testament, to the perpetual and exclusive benefit of all Members of Ucadia equally; and further has surrendered, abdicated and abjured through his Pronouncement of Man any claim or honor or dignity to be treated or described or known as greater than any other man or woman. Therefore, all are welcomed equally to contribute and benefit Ucadia and none may justly or fairly claim it to be anything but a purely autonomous and self governing model for the benefit of all mankind.

It could not be clearer. And maybe then it is why certain sites run by propagandists have resorted to simply making up lies and falsities against Ucadia, rather than even bothering to misquote the huge amount of information of the Ucadia Model – because it is getting harder and harder to spin such fear mongering.

Again to be fair, there is one thing that has helped fuel that uncertainty- and maybe even those of you listening today have experienced the same questioning – being “When will Frank O’Collins step away from being a seemingly one-man-band in developing the Ucadia Model and opening it up to everyone else to contribute, use and participate?”

So while there is no secret committee, nor inner circle whatsoever associated with Ucadia, I have in a way been guilty of allowing the Family Community Model so often associated with pseudo-religions and other movements to be leveled against Ucadia, because I have failed to be clear how long I will be doing what I am doing and how will Ucadia Communities progress into being?

I want to apologize then. Because in a sense, this is a reason quite a few numbers of people felt a bit disheartened a couple of years ago when they hoped that Ucadia Communities would start and that I would make it clear how I would be stepping back and not disrupting the rights of people to determine their own course. Well, when we get to speaking about the temporary administrations in a couple of weeks, I am excited to show you and make absolutely clear the defining limits of my role, as more and more of you are encouraged and invited to take the reins of self-determination.

So for the record now, until we speak of these kinds of questions in more detail in a couple of weeks, let me be clear: I do not see myself as the head of some family; nor do I behave or regard myself as some Architect, or Guru or Messiah. In fact, as I have said and promised, all rights of Ucadia are for the benefit of all people equally – not to be stolen, surrendered or abused – nor for one or more people to then assume they can step in and behave as Messiahs by hijacking and manipulating the information contained within the Ucadia Model. 

I am a facilitator that will eventually become a visitor and nothing more. Once the model is drafted, it will be up to those who are willing to come together to decide and to use and refine it via communities. In any event, this will all be made even clearer when we discuss the idea of the Ucadia Ecclesia Foundations in a couple of weeks after we speak about how to set up Campuses and Provinces next week.

“The Tribe”

The second historic element of any community is the concept of the tribe. Unlike a family, a tribe is a group of people that share some common philosophy and culture often in a more equal and self responsible manner than the Patriarch or Matriarch model of a Family Community Model.

A tribe does not just mean a traditional group of land owners or indigenous peoples. The espirit de corp of certain military organizations is an example of trying to develop and maintain a larger model of a tribe. Similarly, the rise of propaganda fuelled nationalism of the late 1890’s and again in the 1930’s are examples of trying to promote a common culture and bond across large numbers of people.

The promotion of sporting teams and the permission for large numbers of the population to aggregate to celebrate a football match – something that was considered a riot or insurrection in many cities up until the early 20th century – has also promoted a sense of cultural belonging and tribe for many. Facebook is another example of tribal communities.

The “catch-22” for tribes is less about the claimed Messianic Powers of some leader such as a Family Community Model and more about the isolationist consequences of belonging to a tribe.  For example, Facebook and other social media networks have already proven that a consequence of spending more time with one tribe is the potential reduction of bonds with other elements of community- most notably blood related family, the local village, town, or county. The other isolationist risk is the potential intolerance to sharing common values – particularly when the very meaning of a tribe is in essence to be unique and separated from a broader group.

It is this risk of isolationism that ultimately led to the downfall of many traditional and indigenous tribes – precisely because they did not have the political mechanism of uniting effectively and in a coordinated way against an existential threat such as the marauding pirate merchants of Europe – particularly the Dutch East India Company later known as the United States and the British East India Company later known as the Commonwealth. One notable exception was the Maori Tribes of the North Island of New Zealand.

“The Village”

Another fundamental element model of Communty is the concept of the village – a model based around not only common values, but common geography and an element of tribe.  The village in times of lawlessness is more akin to a castle. But in times of prosperity and reasonable laws, the Village is more open and the model has changed little for the past few thousand years.

Whereas a Family Community Model defines itself in blood and adherence to a doctrine of philosophy and while a Tribe Community Model defines itself by its adherence to the cultural rituals and self-responsibility, the village defines itself in terms of exchange of energy and contribution as a way of life.

Someone can be a member of a Church and only attend for a few hours a week. Similarly, someone can be a member of a Sporting Tribe and only participate for a few months a year. Yet a village is a commitment of energy exchange that is intimately linked to lifestyle.

In that sense, the village is the antithesis of the big brother model of the masses of residences where the Government is the Father and all the Residents as dead entities in law are at best the children when they are good and at worst the refuse and excess capacity when no longer needed.

While a village life can be incredibly rewarding and fulfilling given the richness of interaction and the quality of life, a village suffers the same problems as a tribe in terms of its isolation. It also suffers the additional risk of being concentrated in some small geographic proximity.

It is why anyone who promotes the idea of starting a commune or a farm as the answer to your problems is living for the short term and not thinking of the longer term consequences.  A village can be destroyed. It can be easily dismantled precisely because of its size and proximity, whereas a tribe can still survive so longer as some members survive and move away.

“The Sanctuary”

Now the fourth fundamental element model of Community and arguably the least well understood is the notion of Sanctuary. By Sanctuary, I mean literally a sacred space and place in which people can come together with absolute certainty and trust.

Such places still exist and have existed over time. To the ancient tribes, it was such places at which representatives of different tribes were able to come together without threat of attack. The Carolingians and founders of the true Catholic Church promoted the notion of their cathedrals as places of sanctuary and safe harbor. In the past centuries, it was the original meaning of Hospital as a permanent sanctuary for non aggression and a place of refuge.

Unlike a village or a tribe or a family – a sacred space and place cannot be taken away. Yes it can be desecrated and it can be damaged, but it exists more in the sense of an idea and an ideal first than in the physical realm and therefore within the grasp of violent pirates and mercenaries.

This is precisely what a Ucadia Campus is and why the name Campus- to create a sacred Sanctuary at the local level, from which the rule of law may be restored, trust between people may be restored and life may prosper.

What are the essential ingredients to a prosperous and harmonious community?

So what are the essential ingredients to a prosperous and harmonious society?

Well, we have already addressed some of these a few times, such as the existence of the Golden Rule of Law.  Others include the essential concept of Trust as the basis of fair exchange and underwriting the real notion of Capital – being Trust.

Yet as we have covered briefly with each of the four historic and fundamental elements of community, without a community being part of something greater, the survival of the community is almost certainly limited and at risk.

The paradox is similar to a conversation I have had with several people over the years on the basic question regarding the Laws of Ucadia being “Why do we need all these Laws?  Can’t we just start a community on a handful of laws?”

Indeed you can and I have never misrepresented the question or the answer. So I hope I do not inadvertently mislead anyone who comes to the Ucadia site that in theory if everyone was respectful, honest, compassionate, enthusiastic and persistent, you wouldn’t need 99% of the laws and you could just run on a handful of laws – even one law – “Do no harm” as an expression of the Golden Rule of Law.

Yet the fact is we live in a complex ecosystem of competing interests, ideas, demands, needs and issues.  So an education system cannot survive without any guidelines or model and certainly won’t function properly when you have such a dysfunctional system as the present education systems of modern industrial economies.

So in a sense, the ideal model for a local community is to be allowed to function as an autonomous unit, yet with all the safeguards and protections of being part of something greater – hence the Ucadia Community Model.

I won’t go through Campus and Provinces in detail now, but please over the coming few days, please go and have a look. The Constitutions and Charters of the Unions we discussed tonight make hopefully everything clear – it is about empowerment, not repeating the same failed models. It is about ending the world of slavery, and lies and ego, not about perpetuating it.

The Balance of help and support to Ucadia

It is my most sincere and deepest hope that as you get to read the Constitution and Charter of the relevant Union in which you are domiciled (not a resident), that it will make sense in a positive way and that you will want to be part of it.

To that end I want to thank all who have shown their support of Ucadia over the years to get to this point through their financial support of debt notes.  Before we wrap up tonight, I want to cover just a couple of things in thanks and what I am doing over the next week.

It has never been the intention of Ucadia to have people contribute their hard earned energy represented by debt notes we know as modern money as contribution. After all, Ucadia is a model of being free of such madness, not perpetuating it. To that end, the Ucadia Financial System is all about a new way of measuring energy without the curses of original sin, or slave bonds.

So when someone contributes Debt Notes in the short term to support Ucadia dyring this transition, it has always been the intention that such a transaction can be used to demonstrate an equality of energy in the form of an equal number of Ucadia Moneta – as a reflecting of positive energy returning to the one who is willing to help and support change, not the status quo.

I have been writing each day to those who have contributed over the years for their permission to reflect their support in the equivalent value of Ucadia Moneta as the balancing of such energy. It may take several months before such value can then be used to trade or exchange as stores of value – but the point it, they do represent a real value now – and it is all the purposeful and directed energy to the betterment of the Ucadia model that so many of you have been willing to demonstrate.

The second point I want to cover is the need for ongoing support in the short term until the campuses and province and temporary administrations are functional.  To this end, what has been difficult for many is to measure the kind of commitment that can be made and what are the obligations each month for Ucadia. I am working in ensuring that the budgets as well as the accounts reflecting the contributions of all of you who have made a specific and acknowledged and receipted contribution is properly documented and gazette. This will still take a couple more weeks.

In the meantime, I hope that tonight the idea of the Ucadia Communities make a bit more sense and that you will go and read the Constitution and Charter and then next week review the kit of templates and explanation on how to create a campus and a province.

So till then, for all who continue to help – thank you and until we speak next week, please be safe, be well and thank you and good night.

Cheers

Frank
