Tonska Brock has stepped forward as a non-partisan, independent US presidential candidate. He does not need wealthy donors or others to instruct him on what to do. Tonska Brock wants to hear from the People and has the digital capacities and resources to do so.
We met through my dear Tonja Toni Lane Casserly, who unexpectedly traveled to the Other Side Camp this past April, at 29 winters. Tonja Toni was a multi-time crypto and blockchain entrepreneur and served as an expert and/or advisor for numerous companies and organizations, including Singularity University.
Tonja Toni's unrelenting enthusiasm and support for these technologies netted her titles like “The Joan of Arc of Blockchain” and “Young Star of Bitcoin” by industry publications. Tonska Brock gave her the name “The Joan of Arc of Blockchain.”
Tonja Toni co-founded Cointelegraph and helped create several competitive marketplaces for governance through Bitnation, among other projects. Tonja Toni used Bitcoin in some of her humanitarian works such as using it as a tool to provide aid during the Ebola virus crisis in Sierra Leone, and support of the Community of Wakpala on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation.
To Tonja Toni, these technologies served as the means to a greater end. Tonja brought compassion to everything she did and understood that decentralized government is not only possible, but necessary, and “will arise from self-sovereign identity” on the back of these new decentralized technologies.
Tonja Toni's thoughts and teachings will continue to resonate and shape blockchain, crypto, ethics, governance, and humanity as a whole, into the future. I know that Tonska Brock has the same vision and dedication as Tonja Toni. This is not about the next four years, this is about where we will be in 2030-2050.
Tonska Brock understands, especially if he is seen as a threat, that he is walking into a fire that injures and destroys people. He understands, no matter what, lies or otherwise, not to be pulled into a mud fight, no matter how much mud is thrown.
At 39 Tonska Brock, understands well, from experience, the Sixteen Principles for Building a Sustainable, Harmonious World that Indigenous peoples began to develop at our first Four Worlds Elders Council, December 27-30, 1982.
Principles 15-16, is especially important to focus on at this time of dynamic change.
15) Move to the Positive
Solving the critical problems in our lives and communities is best approached by visualizing and moving into the positive alternative that we wish to create, and by building on the strengths, we already have, rather than on giving away our energy fighting the negative.
16) Be the Change You Want To See
The most powerful strategies for change always involve positive role modeling and the creation of living examples of the solutions we are proposing. By walking the path, we make the way visible.
All Sixteen Principles are below:
SIXTEEN GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE AND HARMONIOUS WORLD
Starting from within, working in a circle, in a sacred manner, we heal ourselves, our, and our world.
STARTING FROM WITHIN
Human Beings Can Transform Their Worlds
The web of our relationships with others and the natural world, which has given rise to the problems we face as a human family, can be changed.
Development Comes From Within
The process of human and community development unfolds from within each person, relationship, family organization, community, or nation.
No Vision, No Development
A vision of who we can become and what a sustainable world would be like, works as a powerful magnet, drawing us to our potential.
Healing Is A Necessary Part Of Development
Healing the past, closing up old, and learning healthy habits of thought and action to replace dysfunctional thinking and disruptive patterns of human relations is a necessary part of the process of sustainable development.
WORKING IN A CIRCLE
Interconnectedness
All is related to everything else: therefore, any aspect of our healing and development is connected to all the others (personal, social, cultural, political, economic, etc.). When we work on any one part, the whole circle is affected.
No Unity, No Development
Unity means oneness. Without unity, the universal oneness that makes (seemingly) separate human beings into ‘community’ is impossible. Disunity is the primary disease of community.
No Participation, No Development
Participation is the active engagement of the minds, hearts, and energy of the people in the process of their healing and development.
Justice
Every person (regardless of gender, race, age, culture, religion, sexual orientation) has the right and is accorded equal opportunity to participate in the process of healing and development and to receive a fair share of the benefits.
IN A SACRED MANNER
Sprit
Human beings are both material and spiritual, in nature. It is therefore inconceivable that the human community could become whole and sustainable without bringing our lives into balance with the requirements of our spiritual nature.
Morals and Ethics
Sustainable human and community development requires a moral foundation centered on the wisdom of the heart. When this foundation is lost, morals and ethical principles, and development stop.
The Hurt of One Is the Hurt of All: The Honor of One Is the Honor Of All
The basic fact of our oneness as a human family means that development for some at the expense of well being for others is not acceptable or sustainable.
Authentic Development Is Culturally Based
Healing and development must be rooted in the wisdom and living processes of the cultures of the people.
WE HEAL AND DEVELOP OURSELVES, OUR RELATIONSHIPS AND OUR WORLD
Learning
Human beings are learning beings. We begin learning while we are still in our mother’s wombs, and unless something happens to close off our minds and paralyze our capacities, we keep learning throughout our entire lives. Learning is at the core of healing and development.
Sustainability
To sustain something means to enable it to continue for a long time. Authentic development does not use up or undermine what it needs to keep ongoing.
Move to the Positive
Solving the critical problems in our lives and communities is best approached by visualizing and moving into the positive alternative that we wish to create, and by building on the strengths, we already have, rather than on giving away our energy fighting the negative.
Be the Change You Want To See
The most powerful strategies for change always involve positive role modeling and the creation of living examples of the solutions we are proposing. By walking the path, we make the way visible.
