"We must be free not because we claim freedom,
but because we practice it." (William Faulkner)
We stand at a crucial point in mankind's history. The world's
governments are no longer in control of the political and social
memes and narratives in the same fashion as they were even a
mere five years ago. We, The People, are better informed than
ever before. We are more aware, than ever before, of the
deceitfulness of our political, social and cultural leaders.
Their corruption and deceit can no longer be hidden or
disguised. We must hold them accountable.
Through holding our leaders accountable, by
replacing them with better men if they are not, by working
together as sovereign and rational individuals, we become the
example for millions of others in living as free and sovereign
people. By doing what we now do, this day and every day, we are
setting the stage for the future course of this struggle. We are
even now laying the foundations of the memes and narratives by
which we, our families, friends and those yet unborn, might live
as free and sovereign men without fear and at peace. We, The
People, control the future.
After enduring generations of tyranny and of limited freedoms,
even if the citizens of the world defeat the purposes of each
and every one of the present elitist tyrannies they confront,
the world's populations will have to re-learn almost everything
they think they know about freedom and liberty. Most of us have
never experienced or known the personal empowerment, or had the
corresponding responsibility, of living as sovereign and free
individuals.
Even if we achieve uncompromising victory
in our present struggle, individual and local conflicts will
arise from this factor, alone. Such conflicts as these can be
faced with relative equanimity. To allow ourselves or any other
sovereign and free individual to be controlled or constrained by
any present government among men, however, is to declare and to
hold a position that cannot be honestly or rationally defended.
World-wide, government corruption is systemic. They present
contemptuous hatred for and against those whom they claim to
serve, and they display such behavior openly and proudly, each
and every day.
Our struggle is not only about the injustices or sacrifices that
we and our friends and families have endured. Our struggle is
not against finding meaning in those sacrifices made by
ourselves and others in the cause for freedom. Our struggle is
one wherein we, as sovereign and free individuals, are leading
every man, woman and child on earth to live full and peaceful
lives as free and sovereign people. Through our individual
sacrifices and by our personal involvement, we help to create a
world were no man will ever enslave another for the purpose of
ideology, of religion, of ambition, or of greed. What we choose
to do or choose not do, today, will determine the course of
history for all time to come.
Can the people of the world achieve freedom and peace without
enduring major outbreaks of violence? Will the governments of
the world become ever more controlling and tyrannical in
response to the peoples' openly declared desires and yearnings
for freedom, liberty, and security from fear? Will the People
break free of the constraints imposed upon them? Will they break
free of the disdain, the lies, the corruption and the tyranny
which is daily poured out upon them? This is that point in time
which we now face. The ultimate victory could now go to
tyranny...or to freedom. The decision is ours to make or to
avoid. As free men, it is our responsibility. It is a decision
for which we will be held accountable.
As the world's population begins its spontaneous and leaderless
push towards freedom, the governments of the world will attempt
to counter this amorphous, global movement by implementing even
greater control over their citizens. Now is not the time for us
to doubt. Now is not the time to quit. Now is not the time to
say that the sacrifice has been too much.
If we quit, now? If we lose courage, now?
If we succumb to despair, now, at this time in history? We will
give way to tyranny for all time to come. The battlefield
surrounds us. The thoughts, the fears, the facts, the lies, the
rhetoric, the shear terror and horror of the violence
perpetrated upon us and upon our loved ones is all a part of a
whole. We are at war against those who use fear, greed and
ambition to divide and control us. The present danger has not at
all passed us by...but we are winning.
Our personal and individual sacrifices in this fight for freedom
have not been without import or lacking in impact. Our
individual struggles and sacrifices pale in comparison to what
the world might have already experienced had we not endured and
sacrificed as we have. Had our ancestors not endured and
sacrificed as they did in their turn, we would not have achieved
the freedoms and the liberties we presently enjoy.
These sacrifices are not yet finished. They
are only begun. They are, however, necessary. If we do not
endure this struggle today, tomorrow will not allow us to
struggle at all. This is our responsibility. We are accountable
to ourselves as free and sovereign men. We stand accountable
before all of human history. We are accountable to one another.
We are accountable to the future. We must not fail those who
came before. We must not fail ourselves. We must not fail those
who will come after. For Freedom's sake. For Freedom's cause.
For the future of mankind. These are the reasons we sacrifice.
These are the reasons we endure. |
