Well, the fact about some Avalonians are living in countries that contribute massively to the policy of "forced maintenance" in favor of an elite,
does not mean they have any guilt or that are not, in one way or another, fighting for it stop.
If we analyze each country on planet called "civilized" who has its share directly or indirectly and if we all do a boycott,
and we leave these countries, I think the moon will be little to receive so many people to live on.
