We here at The Vermont Independent love a good map.

This one – showing all the countries the US of Empire has invaded (1890 – 2014) – is ESPECIALLY interactive, thanks to collaborative hard work done by a number of our own US researchers.

Read the fine print through the link.

The big question, of course, is – what do we do about this?

You know the answer. The peaceable, joyful disassembling of the US as an imperial project is the only solution to the catabolic collapse of US as a collapsing empire.

Building new and more resilient financial, energy and food systems to gradually replace those which are both dominant and unsustainable is already underway here  in our own Vermont homes, businesses, towns, and communities.

So – take the next big step.

Name the US for what it is: an Empire.

Name the solution for what it is: peaceful, joyful, lawful secession and the reinvention of Vermont as the 2nd Vermont republic (2VR).

Feels good, doesn’t it? Now let’s get busy.

Free Vermont, and long live the UNtied States!
