Real Revolutionaries

The Testimony of Douglas Wollmar

Bangkok, Thailand May 24, 2011 - While misguided youth light their cities on fire around the world, clashing with local police and battling with their fellow countrymen, all to the beat of US-funded opposition groups, real revolutionaries are quietly, pragmatically, and intelligently changing society. They do so not with placards, mobs, slogans, or aspirations for political power, but with the declaration, enumeration, and exercise of their innate sovereignty. While we naively hope for a political solution to met out an equitable distribution of wealth and resources within a system created by hording megalomaniacs, there are those amongst us that understand the only way to solve the immense disparity throughout this world is to stop paying into the system that created it in the first place, and to take responsibility for the world around us on a local level.

One such man is Mr. Douglas Wollmar of Trenton, Maine. Having been inspired by the "Food Sovereignty Ordinance" passed by the neighboring towns of Sedgwick, Penobscot, and Blue Hill, he himself pushed for a similar ordinance to be passed in his own town. An ordinary man and local farmer, neither a career politician nor a technocrat, Mr. Wollmar brought the issue up along with his impressive testimony, to see the ordinance pass in a 29 to 25 vote.

Having been shaken from his apathy and inspired by the message of Ron Paul during 2008, Mr. Wollmar has proven that anyone can make a difference when we stop depending on others and start depending on ourselves. Shortly after "Creeping Tyranny Meets Creeping Sovereignty: Declaration of food sovereignty just the beginning?" was published earlier this month, Mr. Wollmar contacted the Land Destroyer Report regarding his town's own "Food Sovereignty Ordinance." With the ordinance passed, he has provided his testimony to be shared - an example for us all to read, consider, and utilize in our own bid to join the real revolution.
