2017 Silver Shield Thoreau | DisObey Micro Mintage SeriesTotal Mintage Of Only 670!The new Silver Shield disOBEY series pays tribute to the masters of non violent, non compliance throughout the ages.Henry David Thoreau is perhaps the father of this as a political (in)action. It is based in the religious teachings of Jesus and Buddha, but as a purposeful political tool, Thoreau's Civil Disobedience is the beginning of the spark of the individual against the collective.“The authority of government... can have no pure right over my person and property but what I concede to it.” -Henry David ThoreauThere it is... The idea that all power, political or otherwise, starts and stops with us. We are the ones that concede our life, energy, and capital to the rigged game. Without us, they fall.The solution to these inevitable unconscious collectivist problems must come from conscious individual actions."The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." -Henry David ThoreauIt is only our minds that hold us back from the power we inherently have. So much of what holds us back is simply our mindset. The toxic mixture of original sin, indoctrination and consumerism to conform are our chains to break. Recognizing that you have great power and purpose is how you break these chains and focus your energy on things in your control.“Even voting for the right is doing nothing for it. It is only expressing to men feebly your desire that it should prevail. A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance, nor wish it to prevail through the power of the majority. There is but little virtue in the action of masses of men.” - Henry David ThoreauThe earliest Vote Nobody came in the publishing of Civil Disobedience in 1849. He sees that there is nothing to be gained in the political action of the ignorant masses.This will be apart of the 6 Proof Series of disOBEY.1. Thoreau2. Gandhi3. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn4.
