What & Why & Who Am I?
a one-year retrospective on the Third Paradigm
On the solstice anniversary of Third Paradigm’s conception, I do a one-year retrospective. Following Russell Brand's advice to me to "dance with the devil but don't go home with him," I put my book, How to Dismantle an Empire, on Amazon. I started a YouTube channel and published 77 episodes (with only one deleted by YouTube) divided into nine playlists listed below.
On Substack's writing platform, I combined videos with text and found their comment format to be conducive to real dialogue and conversation with smart, perceptive viewers. Some of the Substackers I comment on include Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, Aaron Mate, Caitlin Johnstone, Matt Ehret & Cynthia Chung, Charles Eisenstein, Rob Brezsny, and Robert Malone.
What is it? The Third Paradigm is a video blog on Socio-Spirituality and Small-Scale Sovereignty. The socio- takes a hard and factual look at the reality in the world while the spirituality logically and systematically questions the reality of the world. Small-scale sovereignty is the goal of community self-governance and economics.
Why? I look at 2022 as the year of truth-telling and crisis/opportunity when we need to be ready with a plan. We’re living through the pinnacle of global domination, which makes it the worst of times and the best of times for change.
Who am I? A nobody and, as Rob Brezsny reminds us, nobody is perfect. You are too. Thank you to all of my subscribers and viewers who made this the year I found my people!

To see where Third Paradigm started, here’s the OG What & Why & Who Am I?
"Being censored and deplatformed is street cred in the resistance. Not being censored is suspicious. If the CIA is controlling social media, as we know, why wouldn’t they be using this? The WikiSpooks bio of Malone is squeaky clean. Since it’s back on the internet, the last 13 edits have been done by Liaton9000 who is the co-host of Rounding the Earth with Matthew Crawford and administrator of the related Campfire Wiki on Covid’s Deep State connections.

So this is Liam.
Does this mean that Liam scrubbed Malone clean in Wikispooks?
If so, what would you attribute that motivation?
I have an idea, and I will spill, but I want your thoughts to keep me sober and focused.
