Excellent post.

What to do? I doubt any one of us have all of the answers. Thus as you suggest, a solid virtual hub for presentation, argumentation, and dissemination of these ideas is necessary.

On a personal level, believe in yourself and do your best to become independent. Stop taking the things in our lives for granted. That means technology, food, physical well being etc. Knowledge certainly is power, so understand these things and try to imagine your self completely independent trying to accomplish all of them.

If you're a male, then I highly recommend that you disengage from propaganda. Find out what it really means to be a man, not the pansy in commercials. Be fit, and take self defense classes. Be ready to take care of things in your life you care about.
