This post is only to make those (and there are many of ‘those’) people who are hesitating between trusting charlatans or themselves aware of the choice: you do have a choice NOT to jump on this 2012-fearwagon.
I’m going to rant a little bit about a fellow named Patrick Geryl, who lives some 50km away from here. Somebody mentioned that Cliff High, the ‘brains’ behind the fear-pumping webbot project endorses his opinions about a giant cataclysm by end 2012.

The 6th Night of the Galactic Underworld has begun. Gold is at a historic high, all major world currencies suffering from the first wave of hyperinflation (the Dollar not in the least), and Europe (being the middle/pineal gland of the East and West brain hemispheres of our Mother Earth) getting ready to become a (non-democratic) superstate with a president. Not to mention the H1N1 media fuzz also starting in the middle of the real zero meridian. All this promises a fantastic thrill ride for between now and the start of the 7th day, November 2nd 2010.

Belgium was one of the first 6 countries to launch the movie. The movie starts like a classical Emmerich movie. Some researcher finds something unusual in the Earth’s core, and then warns a presidential advisor, and in no time the researcher becomes the friend of the POTUS, much like in Independence Day. But you didn’t come here to read the movie. This is the review from someone involved in creating a European “2012″ community for over a year now.

I didn’t notice, but ‘The Great Escape/Basecamp to Freedom’ intention is already 1 year old. A year of constant growth, a year of letting go – in a positive sense of the word – and a year of acquiring higher levels of consciousness. In one year time I passed by many people’s lives. Every person I met felt complete at the moment I met them, but after a while they just seemed to pass by, much like you focus on a distant tree while traveling by train. Read the rest of this entry »

While we’re still writing the Intermission IV report, just a quick announcement that our Apply page has changed. We added some very useful workshops and made it more clear what we expect from applicants and what they can expect from us.
Meanwhile, Intermission V is planned for the weekend of November 1st. This time it is in the Antwerp region 15 minutes from the Belgian-Netherlands border. If you want to come to this gathering of likeminded people, please apply via our new application page.

This article wont make much sense if you haven’t watched ‘The Truman Show‘, a Hollywood blockbuster from the late 90’s directed by Peter Weir with Jim Carrey. This is my attempt to get back to the core structure for what we define as ‘reality’ from a programmer’s point-of-view.
Simple question, difficult answer: Define this reality as it actually is, in a way that every clear thinking, non religious, pure non-intoxicated humans no matter their differences can agree on. No human abstractions, nothing ‘religious’, just undress reality as we perceive it today and try to face it with its clothes off. Read the rest of this entry »

Readers from The Great Escape blog might remember me ranting about the importance of the September 11th date. Guess what happened on September 11th in the Belgian Parliament.

Just came out of my hands. First time, very strange, but sounds true. Oh and, I was already nuts even before this happened. Read the rest of this entry »

One more post in ‘The Great Escape’ style. Don’t fear the fear, just passing the message through here. Sorry for this to be in Dutch, but one of our sources in the Belgian government sent this document to us this afternoon.

As the furniture slowly dissapears from my matix house, leaving me with only the most relevant possessions for my future survival, I experience a strange mixture of feelings about life ahead. What is it really going to be like living off the land? Am I really ready to wash in the cold spring waters of a mountain stream and to eat from the bounty of nature? The first thing I think about is shelter - the kind of dwelling I am going to be living and sleeping in, will it be a place to truly call home ? Read the rest of this entry »

We are planning another introductory weekend for all those who feel they are ready to take a step towards joining us and Basecamp to Freedom.
This introductory weekend will be held on 3rd – 4th of October 2009 at a height of around 360 meters, somewhere on the Belgian/Luxembourg border. You will need to bring your own tent, sleeping bag, warm clothes, and a small amount of food. There will be additional food, water and camping facilities provided at the location. This is the last introductory weekend for this year. If time allows, there will be a last weekend early 2010. That will depend on the amount of e-mails we get and the state of the matrix by then.
The theme of the weekend will be to explore the essential aspects for making the transition from a plugged-in matrix life to a life of self-sufficiency and freedom - completely off-grid.
If this theme interests you and you would like to engage in an inspiring weekend around this topic as well as meeting us, just send us an email and we will most definitely keep you posted!

Welcome to September 2009. One of the last months for us in the matrix. Making the decision wasn’t easy. But now I am relieved. I look at the people in the shopping streets, walking around like chickens without a head, trying to buy their misery away in overpriced worthless-throw-away-goods-shops. I must say, it is a relief to know I am going to walk away from this paradigm. It looks like people are paralyzed. They are so subconsciously shocked they can’t move anymore. This is an update on how we are doing and going to do things in the very near future. Read the rest of this entry »

Forming this tribe is an adventure on its own. Whatever future has in store, this tribe – our tribe needs to have the will, courage and fitness to conquer the challenges ahead. Just in case you were wondering how mature our tribe was, or how you should start your own, here’s a little free experience. Meanwhile the decision has been made to leave before year’s end. We urge all interested people to get in touch. Just a small chat is enough to know if it can click or not. Do not evaluate this blog as your first ‘impression’, but the people behind it.
Why the urge?
First of all you probably noticed how the 2012 date is being slammed around your ears. The 2012 drill is – just like Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” – to give a (false) explanation to the ever increasing Earth changes. But more likely the 2012 date is built to make sure people don’t prepare right now, but wait two more years. If you just look for one second, everything present in the news is building up to a point where you as a person will lose your freedom. This is because only few will be welcome in government prepared bunkers, the others need to stay matrix-hypnotized as long as possible (e.g. believe in an economic recovery etc.) and be killed before whatever is in store happens, so the elite doesn’t have to worry about an angry and hungry populace, and can focus on the cataclysm.
That’s why it’s urgent, and definitely not why we leave. The burden of this event will have to be carried by anyone, no matter where he or she lives. The real choice you can make is whether you make it on your own, your skeptical families or with a prepared group.

Of the almost 39 years I have been on this planet, almost 25 of those years have been spent living in a city environment. Never in all that time did it strike me that this was not a natural environment for me to be in as a human being! Having vast quantities of shops close at hand, many matrix distractions to entertain me and immediate access to nearly everything my heart could desire, who was I to complain? Looking back, it seems incredible to me that all the rubbish I created as an unconscious consumer was simply collected and taken out of my sight to a place I didn’t have to know or worry about, as long as I paid my taxes on time. Little did I know that it was often to some beautiful part of the countryside to be tipped into a landfill with millions of other tons of rubbish created by millions of other unconscious consumers also willing to pay their taxes on time. If only I had know then what I know now, my life would have changed track along time ago! Read the rest of this entry »

We’re firing things up a bit. Everyone in Belgium/The Netherlands curious about our adventure/preparing their own adventure is invited to contact us.
We’ll do a full weekend with most of the Numbers present in Belgium to share knowledge and meet new friends. Since we are the small percentage of the population we thought this might be a good initiative. So the first mission is not to gain new members or to convince you, it is that face to face meeting the internet just can’t give you. Read the rest of this entry »

A warm welcome to Basecamp to Freedom. We are a ‘2012 survival group’ of prepared citizen from Belgium and The Netherlands getting self-sufficient for the troubled times ahead. Instead of seeing it as a depressing future, we take it as a challenge. We were born for this job. Read the rest of this entry »
