Throughout the late 1700's a movement grew on American soil, a movement to free the colonies from the tyranny of a King and his oppressive dictates.
The colonists had tired of being heavily taxed on numerous items; taken advantage of regarding the 'fruits of their labor'; being threatened by British troops if they did not comply with the King's edicts, and so on.
The King had shaped their lives in a way that the colonists felt was not of their choosing, nor in their best interests.
The colonists knew that if they had control of their own affairs that they could prosper and feel a freedom that could unleash their 'true potential'.
The King was not amused!
The colonists apprised the King of their concerns, and asked for a redress of their grievances.....none was forthcoming!
With nothing else left for the colonists to do they drafted a 'Declaration of Independence' and put the King on notice - henceforth, the colonists were going to separate themselves from the despotic, tyrannical control of the King and become a sovereign power unto themselves.
(some of the grievances cited in the Declaration of Independence still ring true today! It's just that Washington D.C. is where the 'king'now resides, instead of in England!)
And so began what became the establishment of the world's greatest known republic...'The United States of America'!
The United States of America hadn't been so long established, nor has it been so long ago that the colonists fought with whom was 'their King'.
But here today, and for many years prior, there has been a growing uneasiness amongst the American people that all is not well with their beloved republic.
Our economy has been run into the ground by moneychangers and their friends in our government; our soldiers have been sent into unnecessary wars and conflict, some now at our instigation!; - the money and 'fruits of the labor' of the people has been taken from them and been given to those in positions of high finance, where their greed and avarice has driven the banks and other industries to ruin; the people are being taxed at every turn, illegally!; treaties that are not in the best interest of the American people and that give up our 'sovereignty' are being foisted upon us; unrealistic mandates are brought to bear upon the several states of the Union; whenever the people ask for accountability from their 'government servants', they are ignored!; Using the resources of the government of the American people our shadowy 'intelligence services' create tensions and strife in foreign lands and bring upon us the ire and hatred of other countries!; private armies are allowed to arm themselves with high-powered weapons and go into the streets of America terrorizing the populace!;the American people are being tracked everywhere they go, their private conversations and correspondences are under surveillance; votes are stolen via electronic means in elections; the ability for farmers to farm their land and get a fair price for their crops has been compromised; the people are being forced to do things against their better judgement regarding health issues; education for their children; etc. 'eminent domain' has been eroded; people who disagree with the government stance on issues and therefore dissent, are regarded as 'potential terrorists'; the ability to arm oneself, as specifically protected under the constitution, has been whittled away whereby one has to subject themselves to background checks etc.; and redress of of these and other grievances via the courts are being IGNORED!
The government of the United States of America has become tyrannical and despotic!
Whenever the people cite these and other complaints, they are told to 'take it to congress'...and they usually get ignored again!
In the 'Declaration of Independence' the people are told to throw off a despotic government, and in certain state constitutions, the people are told to abolish and rebel against a government that becomes such as this!
But, when this type of action is spoken of, then the dissenting Americans are called, 'unpatriotic', 'terrorists', 'insurgents', 'criminals',... where is the criminality in throwing off a despotic government? It is our right as the 'governed', to choose how we will govern ourselves! And when thosew whom we elect, or appoint fail in tis, or in this case, become despots and tyrants, then, we have the right to do what is necessary to ensure as, as the 'Declaration of Indepence' says, "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."
The courts generally have let those pretending to do the people's work have their way, and countless Americans have gone to jail, lost their families and fortunes, some their very lives, and for what?..........
The disagreement is not with the 'structure' of our government, as it was given to us through the United States Constitution, but with those who do not abide by it!
The Constitution was created, ".....by, of and for, the people"......but now those in government, elected and appointed, have come to act as if this vast country and all its natural, financial, military, and economic resources are theirs for private use, and we are just serfs, tilling the soil for their enrichment! - and to be used as pawns to do their bidding
They are merely trying to protect their own positions of power and influence, while neglecting their oaths to the Constitution and to the people for whom they serve!
Enough is enough!!!
So what shall we do?
