A Christmas Opportunity For Unity
A Christmas Opportunity For Unity
December 25, 2012
Political tensions at home and abroad sometimes cause us to forget that as human beings — no matter our backgrounds, beliefs or ambitions — we are all in this together. Bitter partisan bickering over domestic policy has the potential to ruin families and friendships and make us hate complete strangers. And propagandized reports from abroad can lead us to view entire populations of people with disdain.
There will always be evil in the world. No amount of scientific research or religious study will ever reveal to us a definitive answer as to exactly why that is. But for the vast majority of us, life is about families, friendships and personal goals; things, in a perfect world, that would be encumbered only by the stresses of basic survival.
This, however, is not a perfect world. We are each subject to political quarreling amplified by the always-on media and sanctioned by motive-driven people in positions of power close to home and all over the world. Many of us remain engaged in a constant battle of Us versus Them which we are encouraged by leaders and pundits to live out in almost every aspect of our lives.
We are citizens versus aliens.
We are Republicans versus Democrats versus Libertarians.
We are conservatives versus liberals.
We are religious versus non-religious.
We are Americans versus non-Americans.
We are ethnicity versus ethnicity, race versus race, religion versus religion, gay versus straight, man versus woman, young versus old and everything in-between.
America is polarized and, in fact, the whole of the world is. But what should remain above all: We are all humans. The vast majority of us share the same love for those closest to us, the same pain for the loss of those loved ones and the same want for the best possible outcomes in life. We all require food, water, shelter and clothing; and we all do what we feel we must to acquire those things. Some of us seem obviously misguided in our pursuits; but in one way or another, we all are.
In the weeks leading up to the holidays, there was much anxiety throughout the Nation as people who care for one another, but often share diametrically opposed political opinions, prepared to gather for festive fun. College students will have come home, often only to turn their grandparents’ faces red with newfound liberalism. To everyone’s dismay, drunken uncles will proffer confused renditions of political talking points from the most extreme and misguided pundits of either right or leftist philosophies. Family members and friends, perhaps having imbibed one too many, may get into heated and worthless political quarrels.
But a better option would be to leave the political discussions alone — not because they are unimportant, but because they are far less important than the camaraderie of those around you. There may come a time when policies cooked up in Washington no longer matter; basic survival and cherished relationships might then be all that remain. The shift would likely move us all closer to the prospect of a more perfect world.
If you think it is impossible to lay aside staunch political beliefs, consider the often-repeated story of the remarkable Christmas Truce of 1914, at the height of World War I.
Nearly 100,000 soldiers — mostly British and German — on Europe’s Western Front allowed for one silent night in the midst of a war that would eventually claim 14 million lives.
In 2005, The New York Times compiled a series of excerpts from the letters, journals and memoirs of the men who were there:
The truce broke out spontaneously in many places. Pvt. Albert Moren of the Second Queens Regiment recalled the scene on Christmas Eve near the French village of La Chapelle d’Armentières:
It was a beautiful moonlit night, frost on the ground, white almost everywhere; and about 7 or 8 in the evening there was a lot of commotion in the German trenches and there were these lights -I don’t know what they were. And then they sang “Silent Night” – “Stille Nacht.” I shall never forget it, it was one of the highlights of my life. I thought, what a beautiful tune.
Rifleman Graham Williams of the Fifth London Rifle Brigade recalled how the mood spread:
Then suddenly lights began to appear along the German parapet, which were evidently make-shift Christmas trees, adorned with lighted candles, which burnt steadily in the still, frosty air! … First the Germans would sing one of their carols and then we would sing one of ours, until when we started up “O Come, All Ye Faithful” the Germans immediately joined in singing the same hymn to the Latin words Adeste Fideles. And I thought, well, this is really a most extraordinary thing – two nations both singing the same carol in the middle of a war.
The shared carols inspired Capt. Josef Sewald of Germany’s 17th Bavarian Regiment to make a bold gesture:
I shouted to our enemies that we didn’t wish to shoot and that we make a Christmas truce. I said I would come from my side and we could speak with each other. First there was silence, then I shouted once more, invited them, and the British shouted “No shooting!” Then a man came out of the trenches and I on my side did the same and so we came together and we shook hands – a bit cautiously!
The enemies quickly became friends, as Cpl. John Ferguson of the Second Seaforth Highlanders recalled:
We shook hands, wished each other a Merry Xmas, and were soon conversing as if we had known each other for years. We were in front of their wire entanglements and surrounded by Germans – Fritz and I in the center talking, and Fritz occasionally translating to his friends what I was saying. We stood inside the circle like street corner orators. … What a sight – little groups of Germans and British extending almost the length of our front! Out of the darkness we could hear laughter and see lighted matches, a German lighting a Scotchman’s cigarette and vice versa, exchanging cigarettes and souvenirs.
On Christmas Day, some Germans and British held a joint service to bury their dead. Second Lt. Arthur Pelham Burn of the Sixth Gordon Highlanders was there:
Our Padre … arranged the prayers and psalms, etc., and an interpreter wrote them out in German. They were read first in English by our Padre and then in German by a boy who was studying for the ministry. It was an extraordinary and most wonderful sight. The Germans formed up on one side, the English on the other, the officers standing in front, every head bared.
According to several accounts, soccer games were played in no man’s land with makeshift balls that Christmas. Lt. Kurt Zehmisch of Germany’s 134th Saxons Infantry Regiment witnessed a match:
Eventually the English brought a soccer ball from their trenches, and pretty soon a lively game ensued. How marvelously wonderful, yet how strange it was. The English officers felt the same way about it. Thus Christmas, the celebration of Love, managed to bring mortal enemies together as our friends for a time.
Second Lt. Bruce Bairnsfather of the First Warwickshires saw an even more unusual fraternization:
The last I saw of this little affair was a vision of one of my machine gunners, who was a bit of an amateur hairdresser in civilian life, cutting the unnaturally long hair of a docile Boche, who was patiently kneeling on the ground while the automatic clippers crept up the back of his neck.
Not everyone was so charitable. Cpl. Adolf Hitler of the 16th Bavarians lambasted his comrades for their unmilitary conduct:
Such things should not happen in wartime. Have you Germans no sense of honor left at all?
When Gen. Sir Horace Smith-Dorrien, commander of the British II Corps, learned of the consorting, he was irate:
I have issued the strictest orders that on no account is intercourse to be allowed between the opposing troops. To finish this war quickly, we must keep up the fighting spirit and do all we can to discourage friendly intercourse.
Inevitably, both sides were soon ordered back to their trenches. Capt. Charles “Buffalo Bill” Stockwell of the Second Royal Welch Fusiliers recalled how the peace ended early on Dec. 26:
At 8:30, I fired three shots into the air and put up a flag with “Merry Christmas” on it on the parapet. He [a German] put up a sheet with “Thank You” on it, and the German captain appeared on the parapet. We both bowed and saluted and got down into our respective trenches, and he fired two shots into the air, and the war was on again.
We’re all in this together, regardless of what media pundits, power-hungry leaders and motive-driven lobbyists have to say.

Questions the Press Doesn't Ask
Questions the Press Doesn't Ask
Merry Christmas to the Fourth Estate! Hope you've enjoyed your goose or turkey or whatever your family tradition includes (latkes for those who are Jewish). When you return to work, there are a few loose ends on which you might want to follow up.
"Follow up." It's a term that has gone out of style in the age of Obama. You members of the press have become remarkably uncurious since he's been in the White House. A blanket of benevolent uncuriousness smothers news about Obama administration wrongdoing.
The Secretary of State, who took "full responsibility" for the Benghazi debacle, has not once been publicly questioned about it. Called to testify before a House committee this week, she pleaded illness -- a fall resulting in a concussion. She says she will testify in January. Perhaps members of Congress will ask what the press has not. Who made the decision to deny the requested additional security to our diplomats? Where is a copy of the order President Obama says he issued requiring that "everything possible" be done to save our personnel who were under attack? (Former Assistant Secretary of Defense Bing West notes that such orders are always written down.) Were Navy seals stationed in Benghazi told to "stand down" rather than render assistance? Who told Susan Rice to say that the attack grew out of a protest, when there was no protest?
Speaking of that non-existent protest, isn't anyone even a little uncomfortable at the spectacle of the United States government arresting a guy for making a video (however "crude and offensive")? On orders of this administration, an FBI team descended upon and locked up Nakoula Basseley Nakoula. He may be a petty criminal and an idiot, but that's not the point. Aren't members of press sensitive about infringements of the First Amendment? Besides, what sort of message does it send to extremists around the globe when the U.S. cracks down on expressions of "blasphemy" toward Mohammed? Won't they congratulate themselves on intimidating us?
You may want to ask. Just saying.
Oh, and here's something else you forgot to be inquisitive about. An unpaid intern working in the office of Democratic New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez (who was reelected on Nov. 6) was arrested on Dec. 6. It seems the 18-year-old illegal immigrant from Peru (who helped the senator on immigration issues!) was a registered sex offender. ICE knew about him, but he was repeatedly told by higher ups at DHS, according to a government source, to delay the arrest until after the election. If true, that's a remarkable politicization of law enforcement. So far, one "no comment" from a government official has sufficed to quiet your inquiries.

Familys helping familys help a family have a xmas
WELCOME TO OUR PAGE WE THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE
https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Family-Assistants-Campaign/545945622091823?ref=hl#!/pages/The-Family-Assistants-Campaign/545945622091823
HELLO MY NAME IS JOSEPH BARBER I AM A FORMER SOLDIER AND PATRIOT TO THE PEOPLE , I am a guardian of freedom and the american way of LIFE
WE ASK YOU TO SUPPORT OUR CAUSE TO ASSIST FAMILYS WHO HAVE NO ELSE WERE TO TURN.
Citizens, I would like to share some thing with you I have experinced today. A young man I have been working with and has attended a couple of meetings of the resistance, came to me and ask me to go with him that he had some thing to show me and if I could help.I ask him what it was and all he would say is I have to show you for you to get the full concept of my feelings on the matter Mr Barber, so we headed to the destination he wish to show here in Galveston TX. As we were driving he proseded to tell me what he had ran across.It was four familys living out of their vehicles with children. The familys number in 4 and with two of the familys having 2 children, the other two familys have 3 children a piece, numbering 10 children in all. When we arrived it was around 9:00 am and they were out of the vehicles and the children were playing well the best they could. Any way, we pulled up and he got out and gathered the familys together introduced me and asked them to tell me their stories. As I sat their listening one after the other, I noticed they all had basically the same story they could no longer afford to pay the rent or bills and were afraid to go to the state or any one else in fear they may take their children from them and rightly so. I beleive what they had told me, the men of the familys two are working jobs that pay minimum wage and the other two our seeking gainful employment. The women take care of the children from the cars thru the day trying to not draw alot of attention, as I said, they are in fear some one will turn them in or try to take their children from them. As I listened I could see and feel the pain these familys are having placed on their hearts and minds and I beleive the state would do just that if given any chance to do so take their children.I called some members of the resistance and I am working to find a solution to help these familys, some in the resistance are willing to help many others just do not have it and I understand this as they support many in our family of people.
So I my self am going to take the money I have saved for my own place which is not much yet as I myself have just gotten back to work and have had some issue's thrusted on me in recent days. It is only about $300 at this point but it will give one of the men a set of tires for their van which they are living out of And I hope we can profide some kind of a xmas for the children, even if out of a motel, its something. I to am working and living out of my truck and have been for almost a yr. But for me, I am set up to live in the field and I do not have any children at this point that I have with me that I have to care for as they are all grown and another month is not going to kill me. My point is, we the resistance are not a non profit organization we are common people who follow our hearts and God, and to us it matters not what reason these people are in the position they are, all that matters is we do what is right by them, and the children. We are gathering as much funds as we can.
We at the resistance do not beleive in red tape and paper work when it comes to the human family and we do not give to non profit organizations that take 50% of people donated funds for a modest administration fees. 100% of any thing we recieve or give goes to the familys we help.
Here are the name of the familys
Family #1 Mr.& Mrs. Williams. Ages 36 and 43 yrs. They have 3 children, Willy 3yrs, Patty 6 yrs, and karen 10 yrs of age.
Family #2 Mr.& Mrs. Sanchez. Ages 45 and 39 yrs. They have 3 children,Jose 9 yrs, Missy 8 yrs. and Reberto 11 months of age.
Family #3 Mr.& Mrs. Mcdonald. Ages 29 and 25 yrs. They have 2 children carl 2yrs. old and sissy 5yrs old.
Family #4 Mr, Ms kirkpatric. Ages 23 and 20 yrs. They have two children billy 6 months and tom 3yrs of age.
The world is made of stories. A story is also the way we understand the world, the way we make sense, the way we relate and how we explore who we are meant to be in this world, in this lifetime. Our individual stories are woven in to the texture of our collective story as humanity. Our destiny is not apart from that of our Earth, even the cosmos. Each of our stories are petals in a great flowering story of Creation. Following that unfolding, understanding our own stories in the light of that greater story, enables us to surrender, accept and receive in wholeness in the great mystery of life.
What is going on in the World right now has never occurred in human history before. This is the greatest story of transition, humanity coming of age, a rite of passage in humanity’s evolution. It is the end of the World as we know it and it is the birth of a new reality woven stitch by stitch with the creativity, generosity, compassion and the genius of committed individuals and communities all around the globe, working in solidarity, willing to think and act in a whole new way.
I believe that to meet the challenges of our times, human beings will have to develop a greater sense of universal responsibility. Each of us must learn to work not just for one self, one's own family or one's nation, but for the benefit of all humankind. Universal responsibility is the key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace

FREEDOM OR ANARCHY,Campaign of Conscience: A SOLDIER SPEAKS OUT#links#links
http://youtu.be/JIr3vaulU60 FREEDOM OR ANARCHY,Campaign of Conscience: A SOLDIER SPEAKS OUT#links#links
A SOLDIER SPEAKS OUT
I am Joseph Barber and I aprrove this message HOOAH “They’ve poisoned the air we breathe, contaminated the water we drink, and copyrighted the food we eat. We fight in their wars, die for their causes, and sacrifice our freedoms to protect them. They’ve liquidated our savings, destroyed our middle class, and used our tax dollars to bailout their unending greed. We are slaves to their corporations, zombies to their airwaves, servants to their decadence. They’ve stolen our elec
tions, assassinated our leaders, and abolished our basic rights as human beings. They own our property, shipped away our jobs, and shredded our unions. They’ve profited off of disaster, destabilized our currencies, and raised our cost of living. They’ve monopolized our freedom, stripped away our education, and have almost extinguished our flame. We are hit… we are bleeding… but we ain’t got time to bleed. We will bring the giants to their knees and they will witness our (R)Evolution!”
Every politician in office today, Democrat and Republican alike, accepts corporate bribes and is therefore corrupt. Their election is perverse evidence that they groveled before corporate lords and do not serve the will of the people. We know this because on January 21, 2010, the US Supreme Court told us who runs the nation by granting corporations the freedom to donate unlimited amounts of money to political candidates. As it is already an established statistical fact that the candidate who spends the most money wins in 9 out of 10 races, it is undeniable that we live in an era where anyone genuinely opposed to the corporate takeover of America, and unwilling to compromise, will never be elected. That makes the government a dangerous enterprise that is a hazard to individual freedom.
The police have shown they will always collude against the people with the powerful and will smash the people for the benefit of those who sign their police paychecks. All police need is to be given $60,000 per year salary and a preferred status in a higher caste system and they will lie, torture, and murder for the state. Since when hasn’t a government existed that didn’t nurture and reward these qualities in its minions or lacked for dupes displaying authoritarian traits? The police are the essence of the state and as such are enemies of the people. The people have the ability to protect themselves from petty criminals. But, the police seek to keep people dependant on them and act as if the surrender of all the peoples’ rights and liberties is a needed and worthy exchange for security or the illusion thereof. The people are increasingly conditioned to believe that the loss of justice and basic human rights to the onslaught of state power is a good bargain never realizing that governments are responsible for killing 260 million people in wars and another 300 million in non-combat democide.
Everywhere we look there are signs of moral decay, political corruption and fascistic tendencies. However, activists have not been passive. For decades, since the end of democracy in America first became undeniable, we have tried every tactic to avert catastrophe. We have voted, written letters, donated money, held signs, protested in marches, clicked links, signed petitions, tweeted websites, written books, taught classes, knitted sweaters, learned how to farm, turned off the television, programmed apps, engaged in direct action, committed petty vandalism … All this has been for naught. Popular revolution remains the only reasonably viable tactic remaining.
In the 18th century, America’s founding fathers were in the same situation as we are today. They also sought justification to start a rebellion against a despotic empire that claimed to be their rightful government. They knew that what they intended to do was illegal from the king’s perspective, but they found solace in a higher law, a universal law that takes priority over temporal authority. The thirteen colonies made the case for insurrection in the Declaration of Independence of the United States and thereby permanently enshrined as inalienable “the Right of the People to alter or abolish” the government. The precedent of our own history grants us the right to revolt. Further, the seriousness of corporate America’s threat to the world puts us under obligation to act. Now we will sweep the parasites out of power and reinstate the rule of the people.
Why government?
So, why do we need government then? Why not simply do away with kings, princes, princesses, presidents, parliaments, congresses, bureaucracies, and the like? (Stop cheering!) Because as Jefferson points out in the Declaration, governments are necessary to secure the exercise of the fundamental rights of man.
Secure it from what? From violent, anti-social people who would deny other people their rights to live their lives as they choose. In other words, suppose there is a society of peaceful people, all of whom are engaging in free enterprise, entering into trades with one another, and accumulating wealth. Standards of living are slowly increasing for everyone in society. So far, no problems.
But all of a sudden, along comes a person who murders someone and steals his property. How does society protect itself from the murderers, rapists, robbers, trespassers, and other violent people? Government is instituted for the primary purpose of protecting people from those who would initiate force against others.
What happens, however, if government itself becomes more destructive than what the situation would be in the absence of government? In other words, let’s say that in the absence of government, thieves would steal about 10 percent of people’s property and murderers would kill 1 percent of the populace. What happens if a corrupt element takes control over the reins of government and uses governmental force to steal 40 percent of people’s property and kill 2 percent of the populace?
Jefferson provided the answer to this problem in the Declaration of Independence. He said that when this happens, it is the right of people to alter or abolish their government, even if force is necessary, and institute new government designed to protect, not destroy, the preexisting rights of the people.
Here are the exact words that Thomas Jefferson used to express these revolutionary thoughts in the Declaration of Independence:
We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness — That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these 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 shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Eleven years later, after the Revolution had been won by the colonists, the revolutionary principles expressed in the Declaration of Independence were the backdrop for the formation of the most radical political experiment in history — the Constitution of the United States of America.

The Cause of Syrian Uprising
The Cause of Syrian Uprising
And why it may lead to another deadly war in Middle East.
Mainstream media continue reporting the uprising in Syria as a “fight for democracy,” but the reality there is not that simple. We all know what happened in Egypt and Syria is not that much different. President Assad is a brutal dictator and there is no doubt about it, but what Syria will get if his regime falls is not a democracy in the way we understand it in the West.
What we are witnessing in Syria is a religious struggle, not civil or political freedom movement. Bashar Assad is a Shia Muslim leader with close political ties with Iran in the country where the majority of people are Sunni Muslims. At one point in history Damascus was the seat of Sunni caliphate, so it is an offense to Sunnis to have a Shia leader dominating Syria. Sunni victories thanks to the backing they got from the West and (Sunni) Arab League encouraged Sunnis in Syria to rise against Assad regime.
Now that Iran is about to acquire atomic weapons, the Sunni Muslim states are all afraid of its dominance in the region. This is why they support the Sunni Muslim uprising against Assad. If the uprising was to be successful, Iran would lose an important strategic ally and it will do anything in its power to prevent that from happening.
It is very possible that this uprising will spark a war in Middle East and the rest of the world will be directly or indirectly pulled into this conflict as well. It might play out in two ways. Iran and Syria could start a war against Israel in order to make all Muslims unite against common enemy, as Muslim Brotherhood now effectively ruling Egypt and Libya is also hostile to the Jewish state and committed to free Palestinians from Israeli “occupation” of once Muslim land, or the blood bath in Syria will force Arab League and the West to attack Syria. That in turn would cause both Iran and Russia to enter the war as well, which would not be a good prospect either. Only the future will show, which direction the events are going to take, but it doesn’t look good for anyone involved.
How Muslim Brotherhood Fools The West & the citizens of the world
How Muslim Brotherhood Fools The West & the citizens of the world
The truth about Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and other terror groups. What all people in the West and their political leaders should know.
Most western politicians, chief among them being the President of United States of America, Barack Obama, consider Muslim Brotherhood to be a moderate Islamic organization that does not support and is separate from terror groups such as Hamas and Al-Qaida.
Based on this misconception the western nations allowed the sweeping victory of Muslim Brotherhood in what was dubbed an Arab Spring. By giving this organization his support Barack Obama made one of the gravest errors in history of mankind and so did the United Nations.
To see the truth you need only to watch and listen to what Muslim Brotherhood’s leading cleric, Safwat Higazi, was saying to the crowd of thousands gathered in support of Mohammad Morsi who has recently been elected as Egypt’s first civilian president. Pay close attention to what he is saying and what the crowds are chanting. Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas are one. Higazi openly calls for martyrs to march against Jerusalem because their sole purpose is to destroy Israel and to establish an Islamic empire.
Egyptian Cleric Safwat Higazi: Muslim Brotherhood Presidential Candidate Will Liberate Jerusalem
http://youtu.be/QI3wG3loKlA
This is the very thing that Mossab Hassan Yousef was trying to warn the West against in his memoir “Son of Hamas,” which became an international best seller. He is a young man who saw Hamas created. His father is one of the founders of both Muslim Brotherhood and of Hamas in Palestinian Authority. Here is the latest speech he gave in Jerusalem while promoting a movie he is working on, also called “Son of Hamas.”
ITLD Media - Son of Hamas - Mosab Hassan Yousef - Press Briefing in Jerusalem
http://youtu.be/BePQvdPs0Tg
Mossab certainly does not mince words, but he is not afraid to say the truth in order to prevent violence and bloodshed from continuing. If only western politicians had ears open to listen to his warning and the warnings of others who know the true nature of these organizations.
Muslim Brotherhood members are not peace loving moderate Muslims. They identify themselves with terror groups, support them, and praise them. This is in fact an organization that gave birth to these terror groups. Barack Obama might have killed Osama Bin Laden, but at the same time he is supporting those who incited the very violence Bin Laden helped to perpetrate.
Fanatic leaders of Islam see it as a weakness and it will only encourage them to commit terror on American soil again. It is just a matter of time, as long as the West is buying the lie. It is time to wake up.

Why are Wars Fought?
Why are Wars Fought?
Actually, I think that most of America is in 'ostrich mode' with their collective heads in the sand, or in another more local orifice. It's hard to believe that people haven't figured out that 'government' is in fact manned up with very very nasty, evil, sick people, especially when there has been so much evidence to support that assertion.
as for the people doing the fighting, I once was one of them. I would never follow an illegal order that would lead to innocent person's deaths or murder, no matter who issued the order and I can say that with a straight face. Those U.S. soldiers who willingly load 'WP' shells into the 155 m.m. guns, or helicopter pods, or wherever they put them, know they are absolutely forbidden to use against non-combattants and can only be used for 'illumination' purposes, not for bombardment of populated areas.
as for 'heroism' there is no honor or heroism in any military member carrying out illegal orders, and if these folks are so brainwashed that they can neither recognize nor differentiate between an 'illegal order' and one that is morally and ethically correct, then they shouldn't be wearing a uniform for this country.
back to the people. they have no excuse. as far as I am concerned, whether they know it or not, they are accessories before and after the fact. if the day comes when a 'future' and not 'false flag' operation against U.S. ever takes place with mass casualties, I will not shed a single tear, but instead, I will sit on my ass if I am still alive, and think to myself; "it couldn't have happened to a nastier bunch of a-holes and hypocrites" and think about how very many years of 'kicking the dog' it took for a bona fide and real genuine terrorist attack took from the time the U.S. began planting the seeds with it's global hegemony and conquests for EMPIRE and remote control military action for Israel.
we've not had a single bona-fide terrorist attack against this nation yet, only 'false flag', "feel sorry for us, puleeeezeeee!!!!" actions carried out by U.S. government against it's own citizenry, but someday it will happen, and it will have been oh so very long overdue.
paybacks are a bitch. I hope people who allowed the abuses and mis-use of U.S. military might for so many years can accept the fact that there is some mighty shitty Karma coming this direction, and if and when it comes, it'll be well justified by whomever carries it to this shore.
I can no longer, with a straight face, consider any of my neighbors 'innocent civilians' in light of what they have willingly allowed, on their behalf, for so very very many years.
their day of reckoning is coming. How dare they think that there won't be retribution for all the harm they have caused by remaining silent and passive and disconnected by what the U.S. has dealt, world-wide, to virtually every nation on earth, in their behalf. They won't be able to sit on their hands an longer and not come to grips with their own complicity if and when that day indeed comes. They bought and paid for it.
They Take Our Money For WAR!!
They Take Our Money For WAR!! in the name of Humanitarian action; another war to expend American money in exchange for favor with the political party who will eventually control the country; another war in which American soldiers will be used as chattel as we march closer to a New World Order; another war justified by mass media, convincing American automatons that it is for our mutual freedoms and the protection of America. The reasons will vary that they will present to We the People in order to justify another war but they will never tell us the truth for these actions.
They will tell us this war is to combat terrorism when that very "terrorism" represents the actions of a people standing against a world power who is destroying the very fabric of their existence and is to them an act of protecting themselves in a war brought on by Western greed.
They will tell us it is for humanitarian action when the American initiated war against Iraq cost the lives of over a million civilians. Civilians: Women and children and unarmed men, trying to live the life given to them but having that life taken so easily by Western intervention. Civilians who knew nothing of the power struggle our, now dead.
They will tell us it is to protect the American way when that "way" is taking us all toward a future where freedom will be a commodity bought and sold as part of a Global workforce. The destruction of Unions is a major step toward this goal.
They will tell us that Wikileaks, the people who uncovered the real reasons and secrecy behind American "Intervention" is un-American and new age cyber-terrorism when they are the ones who had spawned it with their secrecy and villainous acts of global dominance. They still have Bradley Manning suffering torture for his act of true Patriotism.
They will have the mass media parade in the trenches of faux-patriotism to anoint a new generation of the blind hiding behind the guise of Christianity while condemning anyone who does not conform to this new Order. Islam is evil they will tell us. They will claim that the Muslim Brotherhood is poised to take over in these countries if we do not act. They will and have mislead America into a false action of protecting ourselves from Islam when we should be more concerned about the threat from our own government.
They will also tell us to condemn those among us who will stand up to them and label us as traitors and Liberal demons while they rob this country of its meaning and their corporate backers race to profit from a new cultural kill zone. Madison, Wisconsin saw the rising up of a people but F.E.M.A. camps stand ready to imprison many if a National uprising should occur.
They will tell us many things to justify the means but none of these reasons are what this country stands for. The new Patriots are self proclaimed, self-labeled and self-touting devils trying to convince us all with the last of their breaths that we should be supporting their greed in the name of Liberty. These people stand behind lapels and love of God when the only god they know is He who hides in the shadows of death: The God of Money. The devils we know, the demons of hate and the greedy of our system strengthened by the people's ignorance and controlling all information to further their message of hate.
We know them for the masks they wear have been seen many times in the history of this world and they stand united for a system that favors the few and imprisons the rest in chains woven from the strongest metals of deception. They have been here before but we had defeated them. Now, they have the people behind them; the poor, blinded people so intoxicated by materialism and excess and so fearful of losing it that they parade behind the Masters hoping to be among the chosen who will survive the new global holocaust.

I am Joseph Barber and I aprrove this message
I am Joseph Barber and I aprrove this message HOOAH “They’ve poisoned the air we breathe, contaminated the water we drink, and copyrighted the food we eat. We fight in their wars, die for their causes, and sacrifice our freedoms to protect them. They’ve liquidated our savings, destroyed our middle class, and used our tax dollars to bailout their unending greed. We are slaves to their corporations, zombies to their airwaves, servants to their decadence. They’ve stolen our elec
tions, assassinated our leaders, and abolished our basic rights as human beings. They own our property, shipped away our jobs, and shredded our unions. They’ve profited off of disaster, destabilized our currencies, and raised our cost of living. They’ve monopolized our freedom, stripped away our education, and have almost extinguished our flame. We are hit… we are bleeding… but we ain’t got time to bleed. We will bring the giants to their knees and they will witness our (R)Evolution!”
Every politician in office today, Democrat and Republican alike, accepts corporate bribes and is therefore corrupt. Their election is perverse evidence that they groveled before corporate lords and do not serve the will of the people. We know this because on January 21, 2010, the US Supreme Court told us who runs the nation by granting corporations the freedom to donate unlimited amounts of money to political candidates. As it is already an established statistical fact that the candidate who spends the most money wins in 9 out of 10 races, it is undeniable that we live in an era where anyone genuinely opposed to the corporate takeover of America, and unwilling to compromise, will never be elected. That makes the government a dangerous enterprise that is a hazard to individual freedom.

Why a War Waged Against the Government Would Now Be Just
Why a War Waged Against the Government Would Now Be Just
This Profil does not promote, support, condone, encourage, advocate, nor in any way endorse any racist (or "racialist") ideologies, nor any armed and/or violent revolutionary, seditionist and/or terrorist activities. Any racial separatist or militant groups listed here are solely for reference and Opinions of multiple authors including Freedom or Anarchy Campaign of conscience.
I have pondered at great measure what would be the line in the sand that our government should not be allowed to cross, and after having crossed it would be justification for waging war, either covert or overt, against it.
We see increasingly horrible instances of tyranny that include draconian sentencing, torture and even assassination by our government. The government claims the legal right to commit every specie of crime, tyranny and oppression and offers as justification the famous Nixon line that says “If your President (government) does it, its not against the law.” Government also allows its partisans, in the form of various and numerous corporate entities such as banks and security firms, defense contractors, pharmaceutical companies, oil corporations and many other favored government partisans of every variety, to engage in private tyrannies against Americans without redress under law. Consider how government legalized theft and fraud by financial corporations or the slaughter by Blackwater and cyber-attacks conspired by HB Gary.
I finally decided that, because the government is increasingly becoming our enemy, Americans owe it no more reverence than we do any foreign government that has made itself the enemy of the American people and their liberty. In fact, we owe it less leniency because as a domestic enemy of the Constitution it is an enemy that has made its way into our land and homes and is therefore an even greater threat as it disguises its tyranny and criminal rackets under the color of law. Moreover, we have believed our government's lies and have been placed in a position in which, due to the government claiming the power as the final arbiter with a corresponding monopoly on the use of violence over the people and land in which we reside, foolishly believed that in exchange for these powers granted the government it would guarantee justice. Yet, government sophistry justifies tyranny as being law, albeit a law devoid of any justice. The government first robbed us of justice and then every protection on our rights, liberties and wealth fell to them and their criminal state.
So, even though our government has become a greater enemy due to the insidious position it has obtained through lies and subterfuge by using Americans' misplaced trust, I will still grant it the same consideration I would grant the government of a foreign enemy. This consideration is granted at great risk because government that has become a domestic enemy to the people can and will betray, lie, confuse, bribe, torture, indoctrinate and punish those who would otherwise be friends of forces fighting a foreign enemy in the cause of liberty. In short, out government has betrayed us. Those who would side with the government's lies are either part of the racket or weak-minded. One need only research what measures the government has undertaken to oppress the people to discern its intent. Those in power want people to serve the state as opposed to the American tradition of the state serving the people.
The consideration I will grant our government will be to first review what justifications would be needed to engage in and wage a just war against it. For this I will refer to the tenets of the Catholic Church with its Just War Doctrine. It has been an axiom that a government which resists and makes impossible peaceful change in a peoples’ pursuit for liberty and justice, makes violent change necessary. After reviewing the Just War Doctrine I believe one will be a better position to decide if our government has made violent revolution justifiable, necessary and the final resort.
The Principles of Just War provide:
Principles of the Just War
A just war can only be waged as a last resort. All non-violent options must be exhausted before the use of force can be justified.
A war is just only if it is waged by a legitimate authority. Even just causes cannot be served by actions taken by individuals or groups who do not constitute an authority sanctioned by whatever the society and outsiders to the society deem legitimate.
A just war can only be fought to redress a wrong suffered. For example, self-defense against an armed attack is always considered to be a just cause (although the justice of the cause is not sufficient--see point #4). Further, a just war can only be fought with "right" intentions: the only permissible objective of a just war is to redress the injury.
A war can only be just if it is fought with a reasonable chance of success. Deaths and injury incurred in a hopeless cause are not morally justifiable.
The ultimate goal of a just war is to re-establish peace. More specifically, the peace established after the war must be preferable to the peace that would have prevailed if the war had not been fought.
The weapons used in war must discriminate between combatants and non-combatants. Civilians are never permissible targets of war, and every effort must be taken to avoid killing civilians. The deaths of civilians are justified only if they are unavoidable victims of a deliberate attack on a military target.
For the sake of organization I will address each tenet and discuss the issues as I believe they apply and for which argument can be made.
1. A just war can only be waged as a last resort. All non-violent options must be exhausted before the use of force can be justified.
Our courts are no longer a path to redress as the government has authorized all of its tyrannies as being the law of the land. Where the government does acknowledge it is breaking the law, it has made it impossible for the people to take its officials to task for using their position, office or power to engage in tyranny, while it will often spend millions to cause economic ruin to those seeking justice. The government has decided to make it so nearly impossible to sue it that, for all intents and purposes, legal redress has been made nearly impossible and can no longer serve as an impetus for protecting or enforcing civil liberties. The government has progressed to a stage where it now rules all of its tyrannies as being legal.
People claiming their Constitutional Rights are given harsher sentences and placed under ruin for not groveling and submitting to the unconstitutional tyranny of police. The courts refuse to hold the partisans to government tyranny to the law and they are allowed to commit perjury and bear false witness without any threat of penalty. In fact, judges retaliate against people who demand the courts follow the U.S. Constitution and that police be held accountable for perjury and bearing false witness.
When people attempt to organize they face repression of every variety by militarized police who are all too willing to enforce tyranny for a weekly paycheck and preferential treatment when bringing false chrages. The media is no longer an option as it is controlled by private tyrannies called corporations that have aligned themselves with the three branches of government against the American people. As any enemy would, the government and its corporate allies now spend great effort engaging in propaganda, disinformation, deception, lies, indoctination, psychological operations and other forms of information warfare that is directed against the American people. When people are able to organize and protest in non-violent ways, they are herded and jailed. The government has raided homes and seized property. In the past the government, under COINTELPRO, assassinated individuals. Now, it uses the "War on Terror" as is excuse for committing its crimes.
Past presidents of the American republic have argued that the will of the people is embodied in the president, and while I would certainly argue this point, nevertheless, President Kennedy was assassinated and his murder was allowed to be covered up by government. How can people even make decisions about their government, as if to support it or overthrow it if all the information coming from government is either a secret or a lie? The government relies on State’s Secrets Doctrine to hide it crimes, whistleblowers providing evidence of government crime are ruthlessly prosecuted and destroyed financially and even public knowledge becomes classified as matters of national security so the government can either hide or excuse its crimes. Those seeking to expose the truth are attacked by a media that sides with government, as the media is owned by the private tyrannies known as corporations and have been concentrated in the hands of a very few to manufacture consent for their crimes or cause them to never be brought to the public's attention and subject to debate. These media corporations are protected by and serve as an ally to the government and are a form of thought control forcing debate to remain inside a paradigm they have established.
As the courts are no longer an option, education and organization are also no longer an option. Public opinion is nothing but hot air to entrenched politicians. Speaking truth to power only serves as idiot wind to those who already know about and prefer the tyrannies in which they seek to continue to engage. It seems there is little recourse left save violence against the government. The question then comes down to the aggregate of the individual asking himself if he has anymore means left to resist government tyranny with the resources available to him while relying on a principled and reasonable position. I believe the people have reached the point where they have decided all non-violent means have been used and this is evidenced in the fact that government behavior has become increasingly more odious, secretive and tyrannous. There simply is no longer any crime the government can commit that will not be authorized, excused or hidden under law. We are hundreds of times more likely to be killed by, or become the victim of jack-booted law enforcement officers than terrorists while our elected officials have done nothing to reign in their rampages.
2. A war is just only if it is waged by a legitimate authority. Even just causes cannot be served by actions taken by individuals or groups who do not constitute an authority sanctioned by whatever the society and outsiders to the society deem legitimate.
A government whose tyrannical rule is leading the people to universal misery, economic collapse and serfdom is no longer a legitimate government. It is destroying the future for the citizenry's children. It is now obvious that the rulers of this nation care not if America becomes Bangladash and the people live in squalor so long as their interests are protected.
In the U.S., the people have reserved the right under the Declaration of Independence to overthrow a government that has become abusive. The goal of the founders of this nation was to make the people masters of government, but the branches of government have aligned and worked tirelessly to make Americans their servants. In a democracy, how can the number of people whose population exceeds the numbers of the government's agents not be considered a legitimate authority. In Libya, our government recognizes a number of less than 1% of the population who are rebelling as being the legitimate government. But, the number of people abused by law enforcement exceed those suffefring Gaddafi's tyranny. Look at Waco, Ruby Ridge and the murder by police occurring on a daily basis. There is no doubt that the tyrannies Americans now suffer under greatly exceed those under which our founding fathers endured.
As the American empire has become increasingly leviathan in nature, it has overthrown established governments for political, economic and military gain while subjecting those nations’ people to militarily enforced destitution, torture and mass murder. There is no government under the New World Order that seeks to stand against the Unites States, while many chose to stand back and watch our elected tyrants crash the ship of state upon the rocks of authoritarianism and militarism. Our enemies are waiting in the wings for our officials to lead us to our ruin so that we may be delivered onto a New World Order in which other governments seek to benefit from the blood and toil of the people. As the government steals the peoples’ wealth through the mechanisms of central banking, it buys governments, foments war and stirs up insurrection and rebellion. Our government has recognized a rebel force as a legitimate government in Libya and so has decided to bomb the country into oblivion while refusing to confer the legitimacy of arming these rebels.
In the creation of the American Republic the legitimate authority rested in a group of rebels that swore an oath to God on their lives, fortunes and sacred honor. But, if truth be known, legitimacy rests in sovereignty and sovereignty is conferred upon those with the ruthlessness and economic and political means to engage in sustained violence over a given geographic area even to the point of exterminating their enemies. It is the American people who cover this land, and as the forces of the U.S. make up a small number of the people, probably less than five percent of the population, if the people make up more than this amount they ought to have conferred upon them the legitimacy of a rebel force. And, they will have it if they are willing to fight for it. However, our government would never recognize a rebel force and would punish rebels as traitors and terrorists. While those engaging in such activity would be punished as criminals by our government, our government seeks the prosecution of Gaddafi for doing exactly as our government would do if faced with a rebellion by the people. The fact that the U.S. refuses to identify the rebel strength and will not provide arms or uniforms tells you the Libyan rebels have no legitimacy whatsoever except that conferred upon criminals by more powerful criminals, much like the legitimacy conferred upon mob bosses by a mafia don.
Government power regularly goes to the individual that is able to lie, cheat, and steal his way to power. If the people do decide to revolt, I hope they have a better way of picking leaders than we do for picking our elected officials. But, if anyone not be a crook and seeks to lead the people back to liberty, freedom and a binding contract between the government and the people, I would argue that this individual would hold legitimacy that far exceeds that of our current politicians.
3. A just war can only be fought to redress a wrong suffered. For example, self-defense against an armed attack is always considered to be a just cause (although the justice of the cause is not sufficient--see point #4). Further, a just war can only be fought with "right" intentions: the only permissible objective of a just war is to redress the injury.
The American people do not seek the extermination of politicians, police, prosecutors or judges under which they have suffered tyranny. They do not even seek Old Testiment justice of “an eye for an eye" which would cause these tyrants to owe the hundreds of years in prison to which they have wrongfully subjected others. If the government would only abide by the Constitution to which the officials have swore an oath all talk of revolution would be dismissed as nonsense by the people. But, to a very large extent our elected tyrants have committed treason against the U.S. Constitution and “We the People of These United States”.
Our elected official have done nothing to provide liberty and have done much harm to the people. These officials have not said a word as police are given more and more police state authority. I personally would be happy if these people, who have furthered such tyrannies as those visited upon the American people by those acting as its government, were barred from public office, government contract and the practice of law. Let the judges and prosecutors become painters, auto mechanics and grocery store managers. These individuals have refused to uphold the Constitution and it is assured they would engage in the exact same behavior under any new system thus corrupting it with their arrogance and criminality. They have either allowed to happen or caused to happen the tyranny under which the American people now suffer. So, the intention of the American people is to merely restore the republic, bind the government once more through a contract with the people and to safeguard our life, liberty, peace and prosperity while providing the people with an opportunity to pursue their happiness.
4. A war can only be just if it is fought with a reasonable chance of success. Deaths and injury incurred in a hopeless cause are not morally justifiable.
In fact, the American Revolution was won against the world's premier superpower with only 15% of the military-aged males fighting on the side of liberty. Our government needs to understand that there is a point where an armed people decide there are things that gnaw at them worse than death. When the people they love are being condemned to a lifetime of poverty, tyranny, theft and murder, the people may decide that they will personally wage war against government much as Timothy McVeigh did. He looked at the U.S. foreign policy and decided he would follow its example. Government was the great teacher for ill and Timothy McVeigh was its able and eager student.
In Afghanistan the Taliban are the legitimate government and regularly punish traitors that collude with the puppet government or directly with the U.S. The fact is that the current Afghan government would not last as long as a good sand storm if the U.S. was not there providing soldiers and arms.
The Soviet Union fell without a violent revolution, but it was years between its fall and the democide of 30 to 40 million of its people by leaders the U.S. government recognized as being its legitimate government. Does one have to wait for mass starvation to withhold legitmacy? Legitimacy is conferred upon a people who, with weapons and the will to use them, seek to become a sovereign nation that protects the liberties and property of the people. Imagine if a military unit decides it would seize some nuclear Tomahawks and offer a free state to any American willing to take up residence in that area. Our politicians would surely have no problem with 40 million Americans dying, but if Washington D.C was the target, there would now be a new nation inside the United States. Our leaders value their lives more than the freedom and lives of the country.
Much has been written about how few it takes to lead a successful revolution when the politicians have made a nation ripe for revolt. Again, the question comes down to ruthlessness. When a dedicated and brave few stand against what everyone knows to be tyranny, what at first glance appears to be a hopeless cause now becomes a fire that has spread in the minds of men seeking liberty and justice.
As the government, to include the military, makes up a small percent of the overall population, there only need be 10% of the population in revolt to be victorious. I would also question the resolve of paid mercenaries fighting against a people with legitimate grievances. Furthermore, as in Afghanistan and Iraq, as the government becomes more desperate, it alienates more and more people due to it becoming more and more tyrannical.
5. The ultimate goal of a just war is to re-establish peace. More specifically, the peace established after the war must be preferable to the peace that would have prevailed if the war had not been fought.
There is absolutely no doubt that if revolution comes to this country it will only be in defense of the Constitution and as the result of tyranny and oppression. The changes that need to occur are so obvious and simple, but yet they remain stymied. There are things that could so easily be fixed that would have a profound effect on providing economic and personal liberty. The elite seek to hold on to power and refuse justice as a matter of principle to demonstrate that there is no justice or rule of law, but the rule of their power and wealth. These people talk of ethics and morals and yet do whatever their power allows them to get away with. Morals and ethics guide the majority of society, but not those who believe society is there to serve them. To them the masses are ants. It is said that one should never give a sucker and even break. For people to continually vote for financial and power elites who care little for the average man, except where their interests are shared or in opposition, demonstrates that they have no intention on giving an electorate an even break any time soon.
Tyranny is a form of warfare in which people have accepted defeat before ever fighting, and having decided they have no means of resistance, accept injustice as law. The people cry out for justice and experience has shown that after having fought for it people have no intention of allowing the same tyrannies to flourish that they had fought to oppose.
We see tyrannies and wonder how its perpetrators could so easily and without conscience decide to do exactly the opposite of what justice demands because the state’s agents would rather side with power than justice. I have no doubt that a revolution to end tyranny would make this country a better place. My worry is that the crimes committed by the elite in opposition to liberty would be so reprehensible that it would lead to reprisals. The French Revolution had resulted in the slaughter of the ruling class after the elite abused the people. But, the change Americans now seek is for no other reason than to provide justice and liberty.
6. The weapons used in war must discriminate between combatants and non-combatants. Civilians are never permissible targets of war, and every effort must be taken to avoid killing civilians. The deaths of civilians are justified only if they are unavoidable victims of a deliberate attack on a military target.
Our nation has always been the invader and as such, regardless of the claim of taking care to limit collateral damage, always ends up killing hundreds of thousands of civilians. During the Iraq war and its embargo we killed at least 200,000 civilians, the sum of three entire football stadiums. During that time the U.S. claims it killed about 50,000 militants. During the bombing campaigns of the Vietnam War we killed millions. The body count for the Vietnam War was about 3 million dead Vietnamese. During the Iraq War we killed only a fraction of those combatants. Most experts agree that we killed only about one combatant for every five civilians.
This monolitic leviathan of a government under which Americans now suffer owes its existence to avoidable civilian deaths as "Sherman's March to the Sea" was conducted savagery edited from the American psyche through educational indoctination. The summary executions, burning of cities, destruction of homes and property are now celebrated as a war against slavery. But, this war also led to Americans becoming the slaves of a federal government. Civilian deaths were of no concern to Lincoln and he was perfectly willing to exterminate the South if it meant his cronies would assume deeds to the properties and businesses.
In the foreign arena, we have made civilians the targets of our weapons in hopes this would motivate them to overthrow their government. The U.S. government has enforced starvation and the denial of medical necessities in the hopes this would lead to rebellion by a people against their government. This regime change was hoped to be forced upon a people so they would then be willing to endure the slaughter by their government. Often these people were abandoned By the U.S. government with their countries left in ruin and poisoned with nuclear and chemical waste.
If there were an uprising in America, the people would not be the aggressor. The truth of the matter is that it has been the government that has been waging war on the world while engaging in an occupation of America. The people of this nation would be fighting a defensive war. The people of the U.S would only be defending themselves against a criminal government. With its corporate run rape prisons that use slave labor, to its perjuring police that lie with impunity, to the prosecutors who hide witnesses, suborn perjury, witness and evidence tamper, and engage in coercion, to the judges that give this cesspool a thin veneer of legitimacy for the ignorant and weak-minded to accept, this system is rotten to the core. Judges discriminate against pro se litigants and violate their rights knowing that an appeal is impossible for a citizen to perform and too expensive to obtain. So, the system needs to be ended. The system operates not for justice, but for the profits of the legal class where justice is sold to the highest bidder. Justice has becomes one more tyrannical racket under which the people are forced to suffer. The elite have become so abusive that they don't even see revolt coming.
Those who seek to save the republic would be using small arms and any killings would be strictly limited to those waging war on the people. There would be no bombing campaign by the people. They would merely be defending themselves and their property. Revolution will start with an retalitory ambush resulting from police slaughter and at that point Americans will have to decide which side they are on.
Our military has specifically targeted civilians and engaged in reprisals against civilian targets. There is no argument to this fact. However, during an uprising the people would be the popular resistance. The people would be helping and assisting those freedom fighters directly engaging in combat. While there will always be traitors who can be bought off, the time will come when the people who will be fighting government will recognize they are fighting on the side of humanity as an act of desperation. Americans do not have to wait, as those in the Soviet Union did, for our government to starve its people, place citizens in gulags and have them be subjected to genocide.
I offer this Declaration of Independence by Warner Todd Huston:
A New Declaration of Independence
When in the Course of human events it again becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with a failed authority and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God as well as our original, properly constituted laws entitle us, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that we should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these 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 shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Such has been the patient sufferance of we the people; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to repair to their former Systems of Government. The history of the present President, his Congress, and our recalcitrant federal government is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
It has abused its role over the law and instituted fiat rules that are detrimental to the common good welfare, cap and trade, oppressive taxes, onerous regulation on business are recent examples.
It has forbidden governors of states to pass laws useful to local needs and has interfered in state business.
It has refused the right of local government to govern at home and has as a matter of course caused local legislators to carelessly assume they have no power.
It has defacto dissolved the authority of state governments so that the representatives of the people constantly defer to rule from Washington.
It has refused to secure the borders so that all manner of foreigners of the lowest station might flood these shores without hesitation while refusing to allow those foreigners with useful skills and education to enter and apply for citizenship.
It has allowed capricious courts to usurp proper legislative duties and to rule from the bench.
It has seated judges with no opposition or investigation and has not required judicial candidates to express an interest in the true meaning of the law of the land.
It has erected a multitude of new regulatory offices few of which have any basis in the Constitution and has as a form of graft filled them with friends, lobbyists, and placemen.
It has refused to properly fund our armies in times of peace without including graft and monies unconnected to the needs of our armed forces.
It has therefore interfered with the military stopping it from operating at peak efficiency.'
It has conspired with powers outside our duly constituted authority to take away our constitutional rights, to subvert our national laws, and has given assent to forces such as the UN to rule us from afar without accountability. These outside forces are hateful of our system and desire it’s end. Therefore we accuse our government of attacking us from inside.
For positing that UN forces are superior in authority to our own:
For signing treaties inimical to our national interests:
For cutting off free trade with worthy countries such as Colombia, yet opening trade with evil countries such as China:
For imposing taxes on us without our consent:
For depriving us of our constitutional rights of property, life, and self-protection at every opportunity:
For creating rules that encroach on freedom of religion:
For increasing the size of government to never before seen size and power in a manner against our founding principles and for purposefully creating chaos in business, banking, and every other area of the private sector with never ending regulations that strangle, confuse, and stifle American growth:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
And for corrupting our legislatures with federal largess and assuming unto the federal government all powers to rule from Washington D.C.
It has abdicated its Constitutional role and essentially come to see the people as an enemy and waged philosophical war against us.
It has plundered our businesses with overweening regulations, capriciously outlawed entire fields of business, and burdened the lives of the people with oppressive taxes.
It has created an army of police, taxmen and regulators to fan out across the land to assault and imprison our citizens, to confiscate lands to federal ownership and to lay waste the economy and bring our people into a form of dependency akin to slavery.
It has often sent our armed forces to foreign nations without a proper mission, held back necessary funding, and burdened it with untenable “rules of engagement” which has limited our troop’s ability to fight to win, and has allowed barbarous enemies to gain the upper hand on the battle field.
It has attempted to separate the citizenry into warring factions yet has allowed our enemy to easily enter the country and perpetrate a merciless Muslim warfare which is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, religions and American institutions and intends enslavement of us all.
In every stage of these violations millions of citizens have gathered in the streets to protest these government outrages yet no heed has been paid to the agony of the people in its hallowed halls.
Nor have we been heard by our Democrat brethren. We have warned them of the destruction of the American rule of law, yet they are uninterested in this plight. We have appealed to their love of country and
we have reminded them of the glorious history of our great nation to no avail. They have turned a deaf ear to Constitutionality, a cold shoulder to our American character, and our law and we find their sympathies lie with Europeans instead of their fellow Americans. We must, therefore, consider them enemies of our national interests, safety, health, and welfare.
We, therefore, the representatives of the American tradition and character assemble as citizens proud of our history and institutions, and in the tradition of our national power being held in the hands of the people, assert our loyalty to our true American system. We hold this government to be illegitimate by its usurpation of power and its obviation of our laws. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence that has been rejected by our enemies, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred Honor.
