Independence is What I Seek

The Star-Spangled day of hamburgers, hot-dogs and apple pie is officially upon us.

Fireworks started exploding last night and the dogs are freaking out.  People are smiling, yet, only a few homes on the streets of my neighborhood fly American flags.  And, those with smiles seem distant . . . like smiles of memory, not the present.

There are fewer flags in the yards of the people . . .

Other flags fly from businesses & corporations . . .

Where is the red, white and blue of years past trumpeting from the markets, street corners and parks this year? Something changed. 

What does the Fourth-of-July really mean, today, in grownup land?

I’ve no longer heard people talk of our “Independence.”  In the grocery store, the gas station, even at church, I heard nothing of gratitude for our nation’s sovereignty. Though we sang the Star Spangled Banner today in our worship meetings, the underlying understanding of the holiday seems lost in conversation.

This “free” country has been slowly covered with a dark multicolored mold that has crept into every corner, under every crack, upon every walk way, and buried in the crevices of our society.

“Your health is more important than your freedom,” they say.  “You’re a bigot if your neighbor’s feelings are more important than your freedom, don’t you think?”

The pen of every lawmaker seems to have usurped some “freedom for your own safety” over the last year.

Every government circumvention . . .

Every bail-out . . .

Every stimulus . . .

Every theory . . .

Every ruling . . .

“Your freedom will return when you get the vaccine,” they say.

“You can have a few friends over on the Fourth of July for a hot-dog if you are obedient,” we were told.

Yes.  Schools, churches and gyms are now open . . . open only on conformity to the pen – with limits.  

“This is for the public good . . .” they say.

“It is too difficult for you think about this yourself . . .” they say.

“Those words are scarry and too extreme . . .” they say.

Yet the mold is thicker, darker, deeper, with a despotic stench of repression . . . maybe people are still wearing a mask to avoid the mold?

You can have your liberty back when you are “inoculated,” they promise.

And yet, isn’t this the exact reason a Declaration was penned 245 years ago? 

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly, all experience hath shewn, 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.”

The populace has been conditioned.  The populace is now compliant.  How does tyranny taste?  Are we soft enough for another dose?

This is nothing more than a closed-door measurement of your backbone, a measurement of my spine.

Or, has resolve been hardened?  Is the sleeping giant of a still-free, sovereign people awakened or sedated?

They still see the “great unwashed” in need of a corral . . .

Yet, I see my compatriots.  I see my brothers and sisters, waking from a deep sleep. . . perhaps for the first time seeing how easily freedom and liberty can be lost, taken, or stolen.

All the blessings of this great nation are enjoyed under the rule of law. The rule of law comes from our Constitution, born out of that Declaration of Independence. Our allegiance runs to the Constitution and to the principles which it embodies, not to individuals or specific elected officials. The rule of law us the basis of our liberty, and provides continued independence.

I cannot shake the feeling that we stand in danger of losing our liberties, and that once lost, only blood will bring them back. Once lost we will have more sacrifices to make and persecution to endure than we have yet known in coming to this point in our Nation’s history.

To all with a discerning eye, the democratic republic formed by our forefathers cannot long endure once fundamental principles are abandoned. Momentum for another conflict – repeating the crisis 245 years ago – is building speed. The collision of ideas is now worldwide – will men be free to determine their own course of action or must they be coerced?

Let us resolve today under the bright stars and the stripes that will never run:

  • There shall be no slow frog-boil today on this soil
  • There shall be no toe-hold for tyranny, no matter how sweet the promise of safety or familiarity may be
  • Any over-reach and “bureaucratic help” is too expensive at the price of freedom and liberty.
  • We will prevail as a free people . . . no matter the cost, come what may.

To your freedom, your independence and a wonderful 2021!

Is Your Celebration of Independence Day a Deception?

Our celebration of Independence Day is a deception.

Laying beneath the fireworks, barbecue and fun is the hard to swallow truth . . . It’s all a sham.

Are you and I really independent anymore?  No. Not anymore.

243 years ago, the British oppression was a threat. It was singular, visible and involuntary.

Now, the threat we face daily is an entirely new form of tyranny, infinitely more complex.

The scary thing is that oppression is now:

  1. Fractionated
  2. Invisible
  3. Voluntary

Fractionality of Our Millennial Tyranny

Slavery has changed.  The oppressor previously owned the slave individually. However, with time we learned that when there are multiple owners, the burden of ownership is lessened.  Joint ownership became the norm. Now we have joint ownership of our condos, boats, and jets.  The burden of slave ownership was the risk of revolt and revolution.

If ownership of debt can be spread among the masses, the individual risk is mitigated.

Our fractional oppression is spread throughout the legion, and the tyranny is masked as a principle of the great “free market.”

BIG FOOD sells cancer, diabetes, heart disease and fatigue through the FOMO of fake food.

BIG MEDIA sprinkles us with malaise, despair, anxiety and post-traumatic stress with lurid half-truths, click-bait shock value, and salty emotion all with the intent to sell us more advertisement.

BIG PHARMA peddles side-effects, addiction and false hope convincing the feeble mind, created by BIG FOOD, that a pill is necessary to prevent us from experiencing the pain, emotion and struggle of life – that same life that BIG MEDIA keeps ever present in the palms of our hands.  In bed with BIG GOVERNMENT, their evangelism recommends medicating instead the more difficult learning from struggle and failure.

BIG GOVERNMENT covers us with red tape to stop the financial bleeding and hemorrhaging of the tumor’s growth it stimulates, through greed and invasion of individual inalienable right.

BIG MONEY circles us on wings of dread and fear singing a song of doom, all the while sampling emotional cookies and Danishes of immediate gratification, while slipping the “plastic card with a security chip” shackles over the wrists of the enslaved.

BIG EDUCATION preys upon our children with glib platitudes, group-think, and participation trophies.  It teaches the weakened minds to prize test-taking, rote memorization, and fact regurgitation above problem-solving, creative thinking, and learning from failure.  They prepare our children to work as drones on the factory floor of cyberspace instead of art and enterprise.

And, that’s just the beginning.

Look no further than your bank statement to see how the oppression is itemized.  Each line item takes it’s pound of flesh round the clock each month.

Invisibility of Oppression

“None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe that they are free.” -Goethe-

200 years ago, the shackles were visible.

Today the shackles are disguised. Independence is a deception.

We are smarter than an outright shackle.  So, they were re-tooled, re-imagined, re-formed, and hidden like landmines in cyberspace:

  • 0% APR
  • Matching contributions
  • Free Miles
  • Free Samples
  • No Money Down
  • 84 Month Installments

These are just grease on the slaughterhouse chute.

It Can’t Be Oppression if You & I Now Volunteer?

Forced slavery is no longer acceptable in our “free society.”  The dark genius of modern oppression is the creation of cultural norms, rituals and addiction that invite us to PUT ON OUR OWN CHAINS.

Modern slavery is now VOLUNTARY.

“No one put a gun to your head or forced you to buy our product or service,” is the mantra of the oppressor while billions are spent on engineering conditions that make the shackles look like icing on your cyberspace cake.

But there is an escape . . .

Massive in scale, fractional, and nearly invisible, there is still a choice.

CHOICE IS THE ESCAPE

So, this evening, as the cardboard tubes of fireworks lay discarded in the park grass, and the toy flags lay rolled up on top of the fridge, awaiting their return to the attic for storage, let your Independence Day celebration be much deeper. Choose.

Let your Independence Day stir the same indignation for oppression that our fore-fathers felt.

Cultivate within yourself the desire to fight and win a second Independence Day.

You will need every ounce of resolve and strength you can muster.

Today, there are no chains, hangman’s noose or firing squads, there is but chemistry, habit, choice and instinct.   The Oppressor will attempt to use it against you. You can still see it if you look. You can still choose.

Have the courage to flip them the bird of indignation as they present you the “standard American prepackaged life.”

Reject What Isn’t Real

Reject the drama and depletion of paycheck-to-paycheck living . . . instead, create wealth. Save a few dollars each day.

Reject the cardboard food in the grocery store and eat real food: bloody, fresh and wild. It will re-energize you.

Reject the FOMO of the dutiful consumer and become a CREATOR. Create the world you dream of by small and simple daily choices.

Reject the fake new, fake government, fake food, fake medicine, fake success, fake friendships, and fake happiness that encircles us.  Create a life that is REAL.  You’ll know it’s real because you can feel it, beyond the pain of trial and error and failure, REAL encompasses heart, mind, body and soul at the same time.

Take off the blinders so that you may see the leeches and parasites sticking to you.  Rip them from your body and warm yourself as you burn them in the fire.

Only then will you escape the clutches of the modern tyrant.

Only then will you be free.
