6) Following the election, call an Article V Constitutional Convention. Among other Constitutional changes corporate personhood must be unequivocally banned. Money in politics must be banned in favor of "one person, one vote" etc. Following ratification, the existing government must be dissolved, deep state agents (NSA, CIA etc.) instantly fired (or retired) upon ratification of the new (or possibly old, but fundamentally revised) Constitution.

7) Break up the banks. Banks must NEVER possess power over the money creation and issuance powers of the people's government. This MUST be explicit in the Constitution. The Federal Reserve must be extinguished. Money creation powers must be SPECIFICALLY and SOLELY assigned to the Treasury Department, ONLY.

8) Break up the corporate consolidated media.

9) Following the Article V conference it is foreseeable that previously existing centers of power will resist the new order. In dealing with this contingency it is critical to always use the minimum degree of force and violence necessary to achieve these goals. At the same time, remember, this means that ANY necessary amount of force shall be used. This must be so because if business as usual is not swiftly terminated, life on Earth will be. This places the prostitute "center" in the position of folding peacefully or potentially going to the gallows. It will be THEIR call. This is entirely consistent with the clear statement in the Preamble to the US Declaration of Independence: "...whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government..."

10) Once initiated NEVER back down. Remember, if they prevail, we all die, within decades, in a runaway global warming.

If a Warren/Paul ticket is not forthcoming, work with anyone available: Sanders, even certain Tea Party figures, potentially. The aim is to wield a club sufficient to break up all concentrations of power--financial, political, media etc. With a new or massively revised, Constitution, a new political order, and an awakened citizenry, we can confidently anticipate that, among other goals, a new energy order can be swiftly created. After all, the cost of renewable energy, solar panels in particular, are plummeting. Already these are economically competitive with oil, gas, and coal in many regions. Soon, they will be competitive everywhere. As for nuclear, without government subsidies, it is uneconomical everywhere on the planet. Thus, it lacks a significant future.

Unlike past ages, we must act swiftly and decisively, not only because it is the right thing to do, but because our entire civilization rests upon an unsustainable foundation of planet destroying hydrocarbons. If we fail to intervene successfully and bring this tragic system to an end, Nature will.
