Intro 3 – Time for Declaration 2.0

                             A Government That Has Become Destructive

Americans find themselves no less challenged today than did the British colonists prior to declaring freedom from the British Empire in 1776. Given the personal implications of the Patriot Act, the trespass law, the merger of international oligarchs, government-sponsored news, over-taxation, and debilitating national and personal debt, time is of the essence.

Why and how America has evolved from its brilliant beginning of personal freedoms and liberties to that of a near police state of paramilitary tactics, requires explanations more honest than politically correct. The problem, however,  is that popular American history contains important omissions and overstatements. How so? Those who signed the paychecks of the authors they employed have typically been members of the ruling class. The carefully crafted version they paid for was written to help preserve ruling-class dominion over the American people. Transparency had rarely been important in the assignment.

Make no mistake, current issues have not, cannot and will not be solved by this same elite group who created the conditions allowing them to occur in the first place. In the hope of expediting solutions other than simply Band-Aid measures of a false right/left paradigm, Beyond the National Myth: waking up in the land of the free addresses the age-old conundrum of freedom v. tyranny. On one side are God, the people and their unalienable rights, and on the other, the oligarchy and a government that has become “destructive to these ends.” Fortunately, the authors of the Declaration of Independence left Americans an awesome blueprint for precisely these kinds of predicaments.

freedom from the British Monarchy“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 to 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.” —

The Declaration of Independence.
Scope and Purpose of Book

This book invites readers to consider the rest of the story of American history by shining a light on under-reported historical events and overlooked historical actors. It highlights important “dots” to the untold parts of the story so you, the reader, can connect them. A refreshed view reveals the multiple myths Americans have been led to believe about their country. The most egregious of them surpasses the rest: The myth of an America of, by, and for the people.

Beyond the National Myth: waking up in the land of the free digs deep into the psyche of the American past. It identifies financial, political, and societal trends made obvious by the passage of time. A summary-level examination of the history of both the British Empire and early America exposes an entrenched continuum of oligarchy still with us. The reader will note absent other equally important American history of this same time period, i.e. the massacre of Native 

Americans and issues of African-American slavery.

The purpose of Beyond the National Myth: waking up in the land of the free is to

1. strip away patriotic illusions and misconceptions

2. offer the rest of the story about the great experiment of America so as

3. to mount a wake-up call and reintroduce where freedom lives.

Direct quotes and original documents are often cited to allow historical actors to speak directly to the premise of this book and also to empower the reader with first-hand knowledge of perhaps the most stunning thread of American history, far more than the opinion of this author. The good news is a platform for viable solutions already exists.

Declaration 2.0

The theme of this book explores the reclamation of freedoms and liberties once guaranteed to Americans. 

Below are the definitions of freedom and liberty referenced:

freedom: 1.A) the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants: we do have some freedom of choice [count noun]: he talked of revoking some of the freedoms 1.B) absence of subjection to foreign domination or despotic government: he was a champion of Irish freedom. —The Compact Oxford English Dictionary

liberty: (Lat. liber, free; libertas, freedom, liberty). Freedom from restraint. The faculty of willing, and the power of doing what has been willed, without influence from without. —Bouvier’s Law Dictionary (1856)

“Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.” —Thomas Jefferson

The word unalienable is one of the most important words in the entire book. Unalienable was the word Thomas Jefferson used in his final draft of the Declaration of Independence but which, over the years, has come to be known as, inalienable. Certainly similar in meaning as rights that are not transferable, unalienable rights express unequivocally the fact that these rights are never politically or commercially negotiable because they are from the Creator.

“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.” —The Declaration of Independence

unalienable: Incapable of being transferred. Things which are not in commerce, as, public roads, are in their nature unalienable. Some things are unalienable in consequence of particular provisions of the law forbidding their sale or transfer; as, pensions granted by the government. 

The natural rights of life and liberty are unalienable. —Bouvier’s Law Dictionary, 1856

Ironically, by unraveling a tangled web cleverly spun to deceive and exploit the people, like diamonds found in the dirt, a genuine solution appears. To this end, a chapter-by-chapter reference has been provided to encourage the reader to dig deeper. The hope is that your efforts, via any and all practical strategies and tactics, would surpass and build upon the platform of freedom and liberty presented in this book.

In a twenty-four-hour news cycle world, what people fight against often fails to make a lasting impression. The time has come for Americans to seriously consider a Declaration of Independence 2.0, to rise up again, not against the machine but rather as beneficiaries reclaiming what is rightfully already ours. Your personal curiosity and participation in this matter could impact generations to come. “The truth will make you free” and whenever it has been hidden, an informed populous becomes the final frontier.

“What we see depends mainly on what we look for.” — John Lubbock, British banker, politician, naturalist and archaeologist

Fair warning: This book is likely to elicit strong emotions. Its assertions fly in the face of much of what we have been taught to believe about America under a modern system of education. The more informed the people, the greater the possibility to reclaim freedoms and liberties once guaranteed.

Intro 4  --  Declaration 2.0: A Fresh Start for America

July 4, 2013 Declaration 2.0 is an idea whose time has come. It addresses many of today’s grievances held by the American people and, as such, echoes the original July 4, 1776 Declaration of Independence from the British monarchy.

Declaration 2.0 only changes original phrasing when necessary to make specific grievances relevant to today and uses the original format and capitalization style. It is a declaration to free Americans from the statutory-law U.S. Government that has “become destructive,” no longer
“deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

The phrase “free inhabitant(s)” refers to how early Americans were identified in the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, the country’s first constitution, ratified 1781 by 13 states.
The bold assertions made in this document are based on deep research for the book, Beyond the National Myth: waking up in the land of the free, available at this website. The hope is that someone or an organization will take it upon themselves to begin the process of gathering millions of signatures. There is no fixing what the country has become. America and her people need a fresh start.

Declaration 2.0

The unanimous Declaration of the free inhabitants of the united States of America,

WHEN in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to expose the 
Political Bands which have erroneously connected them with another, 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 entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of men and women requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to this Separation.

WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all People 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 shewn, that People 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 these Free Inhabitants; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The History of the present United 

States is a history of repeated Injuries and Usurpations, all having in direct Object the Establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these Free Inhabitants of the several states. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid World.

The United States has refused to admit that the President of the United States is NOT bound to the Constitution of 1787 because no president has ever taken the Constitution’s Article VI oath and thereby has made the U.S. Government entity an illegal, de facto government.

The United States has never acknowledged that it came into existence by a coup d’etat of the original American jurisdiction under the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union which has never been lawfully repealed in writing.

The United States has refused to acknowledge the limits of its lawful territorial jurisdiction and the still-intact laws under the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union.

The United States exists first and foremost as a commercial enterprise, and as such does not act in the best interest of the people.

The United States Government, not bound to the Constitution, has subverted its laws to forward self-serving political agendas and commercial interests.

The United States effectively dissolved unalienable rights of the people under the Creator by replacing them with legislated privileges called rights created by men and women who can also revoke them at any time. The government has been playing God.

The United States Government has endeavored to prevent the American population from understanding its alliance with a private central banking system that extracts the people’s wealth.

The United States has refused to protect the people from the merging of government and corporations aka corporatism. Especially disturbing is government domestic oversight by the Department of Homeland Security and the integration of military practices and functions with local law enforcement.

The United States has refused to protect individual property rights and has instead succumbed to a collectivist takeover of private land ownership rights and private land under a UN Agenda 21 “rights of nature” mandate.

The United States Government, due to having separate powers of the legislative and executive branches and, by giving the president both the power of head of government and head of state, has encouraged dictatorial powers thereof.

The United States has allowed presidents the unilateral law of executive orders when there is no explicit authority whatsoever for them.

The United States has erected a “multitude of new offices and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.” The IRS, Justice Department, many police, State and local revenue and other government agencies, engage in an escalating rampage of legalized theft and subsequent terror of not only those of their territorial jurisdiction but of all Americans.

The United States since the Korean War has gone to war without consent from the Congress.

The United States, dependent on deficit funding by the Federal Reserve, has rendered war to be an economic necessity beyond reasonable concerns for the well being of the people.

The United States has conspired with others to subject most Americans to a jurisdiction foreign to the original jurisdiction of the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union; unrecognized by our 

Laws and giving authorization and force to their acts of pretended legislation:

For creating a Prison Industrial Complex as an economic engine and, aggressively employing torture of supposed terrorists:

For protecting the banking industry and executives directly causing loss of retirement and other financial damage to everyday Americans:

For authorizing warrantless searches and arrests and the murder of Americans:

For imposing multiple taxes on us without our direct consent:

For depriving us in many cases, due process as with the IRS, DHS, FBI, NSA and under the 

Patriot Act and subsequent more draconian laws:

For authorizing indefinite detention and deportation of any and all Americans:

For abolishing the free system of English Common Law on lands not owned by the U.S. 

Government while unlawfully extending the “Federal Zone” to include all land in America thereby establishing the U.S. Government by enlarging its boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into non-federal lands:

For overriding our most valuable laws under the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governance:

For suspending our original form of legislature declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever:

The United States has abdicated lawful government and therefore acts above any restriction by 

law. It plunders our private and personal property (including labor), denies us due process, and as such, is engaged in domestic war against us, destroying the lives of our people.

The United States is at this time managing large numbers of military to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy as hidden justification for economic stability.

The United States Government has curtailed dissent and punished whistleblowers; constraining our fellow citizens taken captive making it difficult to impossible thereafter for them to receive due process.

The United States has cultivated divide and conquer strategies amongst us to distract the people from recourse against an illegitimate, de facto government of vast weaponry.
In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A government, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of humanity, enemies in war, in peace, friends.

WE, therefore, the People of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the Rectitude of our Intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these several states, solemnly Publish and Declare, that these Free Inhabitants are, and of Right, Free and Independent People of the several states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the de facto United States Government, and that all political connection between them and the United States, is totally dissolved; and that as FREE PEOPLE under the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, they have full Power to Build a New Form of Governance and to do all other acts and things which the Free Inhabitants may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm Reliance on the Protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

Signed:
