You want a what?

Revolution.

Dare you think it?  Dare you do it?

The United States of America was born of revolution.  We celebrate that revolution every July 4.  Our greatest ancestors were revolutionaries.  They pledged their honor, their fortunes, and their lives to freedom and independence.  They were dissidents, insurgents, terrorists, and traitors.  Some of their names are remembered more than 200 years later.  John Hancock, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Hercules Mulligan (!), and many others.  Some of their words are still remembered as well.

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?  Forbid it, Almighty God!  I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" -- Patrick Henry

"I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country." -- Nathan Hale

"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion....  What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?  The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.  It is its natural manure." -- Thomas Jefferson

The second American revolution occurred 80 years after the first concluded.  Unlike the first revolution, this one, now known as the Civil War, was successfully crushed by force.  It began with a group of southern states seceding from the United States, as was their Constitutional right.  But allowing any state the liberty to remove itself from the now thoroughly corrupted "nation" was twisted into treason by the criminals in command.  As George Orwell correctly pointed out, "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act."  Likewise, in times of universal injustice, acting within your unalienable rights becomes a crime.  The Civil War should have been our first clue that the freedom the first Revolutionary War secured was already lost.  Tyranny was back.

Fast forward 148 years to 2012.  The Constitution is being violated with impunity now by the very government that claims to be its offspring.  The right to assemble is brutally denied by militarized police.  The right to free speech is censored.  Even the freedom to come and go as you please is slowly constrained for your so-called safety and security.  And freedom of information is no more, withdrawn and secreted away in the interests of national security.  The right to bear arms will probably be the next to fall.  You and I are left alone, gagged, bound, and mostly deaf, being allowed to hear only what is approved by the ruling authorities.  And soon, without even the right to possess a gun, we will be utterly defenseless.

There is only one way we will get out of this.

Revolution.

Independence Day

July 4, 2012.  Once it was "Independence Day".  No longer.

July 4 is a day of remembering the liberties and freedoms our ancestors battled to obtain that we have let slip through our fingers like fine sand.  Over the decades that followed 1776, men of great deception and manipulation with no empathy for humanity tricked us into compliance, into subjugation, into increasing degrees of dependence and slavery.  They own us now, directing our activities through the distribution of green bills of paper and digits in a computer that they control and that we desire.  Everything is tied to money, and we are bought and sold like sheep.  Liberty and freedom only belong to those that create the money, and they aren't sharing.

Remember this Fourth of July.  Remember that you are not free.  Remember that you are not independent.  Remember that you are owned.  It is not the whip that keeps you obedient, it is the money.

"None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free." --- Goethe.

America was reshaped while we napped.  Wake up, America.



Not even 30 pieces of silver...

American, but...

American down!

I'm an American.

But....

Barack Obama is not my president. He's a fraud, a puppet for money men meant to deceive the ordinary citizens of my country. All of the preceding presidents of my past were the same.

The members of Congress do not represent me. They too are frauds, bought and paid for by the money men. These so-called representatives pretend to represent my interests and the interests of my fellow countrymen, but they do not.

The majority of the laws of my country are invalid and do not apply to me or anyone else. They were conceived in deception by false representatives, worded to obfuscate, and designed to manipulate and control. They are abominations.

The crimes of my country, the quiet assassinations, the hidden torture, the murders, the oppression, the lies, the legalized theft, the tyranny, and the wars, are not my crimes. They are orchestrated by a relatively small association of criminal sociopaths that thrive in the seats of power of this fallen nation.

However....

The principles of the Declaration of Independence are my principles, that all men and women are created equal, with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. "That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of those ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them (the people) shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness." The government of my country has indeed become destructive of those ends, and not only that, it has quietly organized itself to prevent me or anyone else from altering or abolishing it. Instead, it alters or abolishes anyone that would dare oppose it.

The original Bill of Rights are my rights and the rights of every one of my countrymen. We have the right to own property, to speak freely, to assemble freely, to be secure in our possessions and our homes, and to bear arms. Yet all of these rights have been slowly legislated into effective oblivion by the aforementioned destructive government.

Perhaps you too are an American. Perhaps you too have seen the obscenities perpetrated in your name.

Perhaps we should unite to set things right.

 

Saving America

What ails us...
(only we have a new vampire now)

America's economy is being destroyed.  We need a plan to save our country.  I'm not hearing anyone suggest any simple plans that are doable, so I'm about to suggest one.  I want you to tell me why you think this plan will or will not work.

1. When government is bankrupting itself and our country, we need a common sense solution.  Freeze all government spending, budgets, and salaries.  Stop all government borrowing and the creation of new money.  Stop the bleeding, and do it now.

2. The federal government is too big, too powerful, and too self-serving.  Starting one year after the freeze, for at least the next 25 years, all government spending, budgets, and salaries will be reduced by 1% each year, automatically, with no exceptions.

3. The common people are paying too much tax to support a corrupted government that feeds on them like a monster parasite.  Raise the personal (and business) tax exemption to $100,000 so that no federal taxes are owed on the first $100,000 earned.  Throw off the parasite and let the common people prosper again.

4. The rich people are paying too little tax to a government that they currently manipulate and profit from.  Raise the personal (and business) income tax rate for those earning more than one million dollars to 35%, over 10 million dollars to 65%, and over 100 million dollars to 90%.

Will that do it?  Is it that simple?  Can America be saved in four simple steps?
