From the creators of Esoteric Agenda and KYMATICA. At a major juncture in his life, rob in the pagé family began down a road less traveled to free himself from fear, government control, and reliance on public energy and food supply, and shares his journey that led him “off the grid”.
Ben Stewart and Dan Stewart, creators of Esoteric Agenda and KYMATICA, focus the essence of this film around the journey through transitional and groundbreaking moments in a human’s life.
The purpose of this film is not to provide legal advice, nor is it to simply educate, but rather as inspirational fuel. To become more of what we already are.

Good luck trying to be this guy if your not allready a millionaire from the system he claims to hate
Can Rob teach us more on how to get out of the grid… the dos and donts, more about how to defend ourselves, etc… ???
If you need more advice on how to live off the grid, there’s a lot of that in this book:

It has been a while since I watched Kymatica and Esoteric Agenda and I have to say from what I recall this was a much more well constructed presentation. Both Kymatica and Esoteric Agenda felt too “woo woo” if you know what I mean with respect to the idea of spirit and spirituality for my taste. Good music too Ben and Dan. My only technical gripe would be that I thought the voice over by Ben at the start was drowned out by music. The balance was better after that point.
The concepts of law presented have been in various other short videos and documentaries before and yet here again it was shocking to have the “duh” moments when you hear the definitions of terms that mean something in their colloquial use versus their law use. You see how entangled we all are without our even realizing it. Citizenship = Citizen Ship. Ever feel like all those years in elementary school learning about our systems of government was a total sham? Me too.
It is too bad rob and those like him have to pave the way for the rest of us to see and to face the immense challenges and risks basically alone not only from the standpoint of educating himself in law (I know I couldn’t do it – I don’t have the fortitude to endure reading so much nonsense) but to then face the state down and hope that a judge doesn’t just ignore his arguments and throw him in jail. Even if his arguments are valid by their own laws, might still makes right if they want to.
Whatever happens in the medium to long term with our political, civil, and economic instability, people need to at least realize that if there was a mass turning from recognizing the authority of the system then the legal challenges shown here become moot. The officers of the state can’t stop everyone. But those turned from the old system will need a vision of something to build to provide because we can’t all live like rob. My vision comes from and energy goes to The Venus Project.
Excellent documentary. I found it to be far more factual and better produced than Kymatica and Esoteric agenda. What an admirable person; Rob demonstrates truth to the phrase knowledge is power. Courage is one thing we must all have in order to stay strong during the crisis our planet is going through.
However this documentary is not without its flaws. This is just a minor critique, but I have to say that picking apart words such as citizenship to add substantive weight to an argument is, in my opinion, not a good technique. For example Rob says that citizenship actually refers to Citizen Ship, a naval term (hence we all live in a state of war). What he has failed to consider is all the other words in english ending in -ship. Am I supposed to believe that friendship, custodianship and leadership all refer to this state of war. I think not.
Anyway great documentary, an inspiring watch. Documentaries like these will add fuel to the fire of the current global peaceful protests.
I agree with your analysis of the use of -ship as a suffix and the dictionary seems to back you up. The suffix “ship” denotes a condition, status, skill, or a group but that is in our everyday parlance which as I understand can have substantially different meanings when used in legal terms.
This is one thing that I think films like the Zeitgeist series have over Rob’s films is there is (especially the last two Z films) a much more direct attempt to clearly educate and to define what they are talking about. Ungrip, Kymatica, and Esoteric Agenda try like you say to inspire. (And ungrip even says right at the end it is not meant to educate.)
If you are interested in Alternative Energy, you should be interested in Nikola Tesla. He is the most important inventor of recent times, and developed the energy distribution system of AC electricity that we use today, as well as hydroelectricity, radio, x-ray, and countless other technologies. There are many ways besides solar panels to live off the grid that have been invented over 100 years ago. http://www.discovertesla.com.
Bet the cunt never started off skint like I am.
Including disease, holocaust is a more correct word than genocide.
I guess a Constitution is a rulebook for direct democracy.
EXCELLENT!
Thanks heaps to Ben, Dan and rob of the page family for making this inspirational film and sharing it online for free. I understand how much hard work goes into making a film.
