Some of you may have heard of the New Earth Project and New Earth Nation. An initiative by Sacha Stone that's described as
"...is a fellowship of sovereign nations and micro-nations founded in recognition of the primacy of consciousness, the unity of all life and the undeniability of the individual sovereign condition.
It is an open invitation to every member of the human family to transition away from all systems and enclosures which limit our capacity for creative self-expression, and instead unite as an extraterritorial family of sovereign individuals who, with the support and solidarity of that family, are collectively empowered to consciously co-create a new paradigm of prosperity, harmony and abundance."
It seems nice but there have been recent developments that suggests that things aren't as good as they look with NEN. It concerns the International Tribunal for Natural Justice (ITNJ), which is supposed to serve as a replacement court system for the planet. What I've read so far is very disturbing and, in fact, seems to confirms my suspicions about Sacha Stone. Here's what has been written so far:

http://adventuresintosovereignty.org/public-notice-letter-of-no-confidence/
http://adventuresintosovereignty.org/public-notice-of-rescission-of-signature-and-support/
So why am I posting this? I do it as a heads up notice. The women who wrote these article could be wrong, they could be lying, but until the truth is fully exposed, I strongly suggest that anyone who has been considering giving money or has been giving money to NEN or any associated causes, pause and use critical thinking first. Sacha Stone could very well be the liar that they claim. Best to be safe than sorry, because if he is that, then there's a good chance that if you give or have been, you won't be getting a refund.
Besides that, for anyone interested in joining or starting an intentional community, there are plenty of other options besides NEN. Here are some links to get you started:
