Author's
note: Liberty from Tyranny is never ending. For me, my eyes were opened one
night while listening to an old Ron Paul speech. I have mentioned this before,
but have to admit that I only understood a fraction of what he was so eloquently
explaining. I had to study economies, history, even philosophy and Theology to even
start to grasp it, and eventually began to realize that I leaned toward a
Libertarian stance. This means smaller,
non-intrusive government whose primary purpose is to insure both protection, and
civil Liberty. He could not, however,
effectively deliver that message to the American people, no matter how needed
it was. A growing number of people are waking up to the fact that something is
not right, but have not yet determined just what that is. Pow! Here comes
Donald J. Trump.
No
one in my lifetime has done more to stir the pot of our American oligarchy, with
in-your- face explanations of nation and empire building, and the dangers of a corporate
military industrial complex and banking system alliance that controls our
Congress, then Donald Trump. He has,
without a doubt, touched the minds and hearts of many working class people,
however...
One
concern, I think, goes mostly unnoticed. What we must fight every day, without
fail, is Liberty from Tyranny. A dying middle class, the destruction of civil
Liberties and the shredding of our Constitution is a result of Tyranny.
Many
are backing Mr. Trump because they want our economy to return, and this is
fine... but the Liberty movements' primary concern is Liberty from Tyranny.
Surely, if government got out of the way of free enterprise we would have far more
opportunity for profit, and dream, but that would be after the fact, secondary,
like icing on the cake. Work for Liberty
first. Work to find truth. Work to return our Civil Liberties (Bill of Rights),
and insure that no one tramples on our Republic based on Constitutional Law,
and the American Dream will return.
Transcendentalism: The true American character reborn
in the Liberty Movement
Few
writers take up the pen in truth these days. Plagiarism and a lack of validity
are rife, where news outlet truths are strangled by imposed taboo, and well-diagrammed
schema trickle down from the very top to the many hungry minds of the masses
looking for solace.
Corporate
owned and influenced by government, media skillfully crafts a manufactured
truth with an imposing twist, slanted by a well orchestrated design. Like a
flash in a pan, they use a carrot on a stick, a dog and pony show, and smoky
mirrors to help you to forget. Seldom is a story followed to a close, or
revisited, just a faded memory. There is always something pressing, an alert
every day, to take its place... To even ask the question why, is very rare, as pop-corn
distractions fill the void with constant abstract fervor, creating new
questions to displace the previous unanswered ones. We choose a side, like Fox
and Friends, or CNN, with confidence and poise, regurgitating what little of it
we remember.
Much
of what can be called current events are redacted without notice by a populous
taught to have a limited attention span, and newspapers demand their reporters
write for a sixth grade education. Soon displaced, it becomes exceedingly
difficult to get to the truth of a matter, unless you investigate yourself. No
longer, if ever, can you trust any media outlet to be impartial, and as truth is
manipulated, accuracy is pulled and pushed to fit their particular envelope.
Those who push this mass of distraction aside, and drive forward in
investigation, find that what was presented as truth was little more but
assumptions and suppositions, dead-end substantiations that blind us like a
needle in an eye. In this confusion, we cannot plan with any certainty what
side we are actually on, or formulate a volition to actually care for much of
anything but selfishness, as it is embedded in us to trust a system that now
understands us better than we understand ourselves....
Even
for moralists who have historically chosen a side for what they consider righteous
reasons, soon realize that both sides of a conflict have little or no virtue,
or moral standard. They see a fight coming, but cannot reason, for themselves,
what side they should be on. When the time will come, as they are told it must,
authority will tell them when and where to die.
We
are told from the black box that war is looming; another cold war with Russia...
and that world economies are failing. Between mass shootings, we get a glimpse
of a disintegrating EU, how black men hate white men and all cops too. We see a
disingenuous love-hate relationship with the UN, but can't seem to reason why...
as few will take the time to actually view the meetings on C-span. We have information
at our fingertips, and yet, we seem to be floundering in ignorance and apathy. Our southern oil-field economy is disintegrating
before our eyes, as our so-called friend, Saudi Arabia, floods the market, for
years, with cheap oil... supposedly to bankrupt OUR enemies. Only problem with
that is our oilfield infrastructure, in America, is destroyed too, along with America's
ability to be energy independent, for many years to come.
Red
tape, and black dots
Everything
is connected in this ever-shrinking global community, and it seems now, as
central bank tentacles reach into every nook and cranny, that what we do to
another has a resounding repercussion that bites back. Some call it blow-back, some retribution, and
others karma, as what you sow, so too will you reap.
Libya's Qaddafi is a case in point, where he designed his government to protect his
currency from debt, and owed nothing to the central bank poised like a fat tick
in his infrastructure. Just before he became an enemy, he vied to have his
currency based on gold. He is dead. Something standing on its own two feet will
not be tolerated by the powers that be, and this should concern all Americans
to the very core. If we pull back from our master's central bank, audit the
Federal Reserve, look into Fort Knox, and attempt to print our own money again
based on silver or gold, will they murder us too? It is a wake-up call on the cusp of foreclosure,
and we trust, and trust, in a time of reckoning.
Corporations
too big to fail, and banks, too big to fail, are protected by the Federal
Reserve. Nothing but a corporation, it has a contract that gives it more power
than even our congress, and we all, every country around the world, feels the
lash of debt slavery. We are witnessing the biggest transfer of resources
(tangible wealth), and power, in the surviving historical record... a record currently
being rewritten by them.
Transcendentalism,
our founder's standard.
The
hope of America's original ideology, Transcendentalism,
is no longer taught in government schools... and for a reason.
Henry
David Thoreau wrote: "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation, and
go to the grave with a song still in them." ..and I have often wondered
just what he was trying to tell us. Many of our ancestors attempted to explain
the dangers we would face, and that the gift we were being given was a treasure
no country has ever had before. It was something so profound; people from
around the world flocked here to embrace the concept, and to seek their dreams.
They risked their fortune, their very
lives, and it was called: Liberty from Tyranny.
These
words of Thoreau above, fill me with a great sadness and dread, as he has put
the finger of his mind to my heart. All of us, as is our human nature,
dependent on truth to find our way in a dark world... We seek to sing our own
song in a humanity of suppression, condescension, and myopia, and have refused
the very weapon, the precise tool we need to insure our success. It is called
our Constitution. We aspire in this life, all of us, to want something greater than
the grind of meaningless mediocrity, and that is the American Dream. His book: "On
Civil Disobedience." is masterfully constructed and designed to give us a
reason for being Patriots, and it is well-hidden...
His
friend Emerson, another American writer, also speaks to Thoreau's personal
desire (and his projection to the rest of society) for something greater than
the daily drudge of our current lives. I cannot say that Thoreau should be
considered a political writer, but he gave us a profound thought that filled
the mind of our ancestors with a burning desire.
Though
their writings were considered depressive, by some readers, in study there is
also an amazing hope found there that can invariably light our way.
Ralph
Waldo Emerson wrote: "Once you make
a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen." and "The only person you are destined to
become is the person you decide to be." ...fills me with a great hope.
You see, this fight for Liberty from Tyranny is indeed an ancient concept, and
it can only manifest itself here in America if it becomes understood by enough
people to give a resounding opposing voice. To me, those who could not
understand the complexities of Ron Paul, are now clinging to the words of Donald
Trump, and these desperate Americans Thoreau knew very well, as he had that
same fire, that same need in his heart. Donald Trump has opened Pandora's Box,
laying bear the true reasons for the fine mess we find ourselves in today, and
once out of that box, they will never, ever go back. A worthy idea is never forgotten. It may
flounder by the oppressive nature of society, but will eventually find its way
to light. That is our hope.
A
concept these American writers wrought, may help us to come together for this
great common cause of Liberty, and it is called Transcendentalism. It is an
American Philosophy. You see, what gives the Liberty movement its true strength,
and its teeth... is the comprehension that the world around us "transcends"
and goes beyond what we can see, hear, taste, or touch, and is, in some
respect, a form of intuition. It is the reason our Forefathers told us that our
Civil Liberties can not be mandated by government, but are a gift for God... It
is akin to something like an intuition, based on faith... and that both our
common and individual destinies are not bound by what is taught to be logical
or even what we reason with our senses. In other words, early Americans felt
that there is something greater than themselves, something worthy to aspire to,
with a trust in themselves to be their own authority on what is right. It is a
concept so powerful that they would even sacrifice their very lives to
safeguard it, and that is the power of the Liberty movement. That is what has
separated America from all of the dictatorships, Socialistic, Nationalistic,
Communistic/Marxism that have plagued our world, and that precious and original
American concept is most dangerous to the elite who want to dominate and
control us from cradle to grave. We must rediscover this most precious gift,
given to us by the toil, blood and love of our founding fathers, but also their
intellect, and take this county back. At this moment in our American history,
only the hope of Donald Trump can fulfill that.
To
be clear, let me say this another way: Far left, Progressive Social Engineers
are attempting to destroy this concept, a concept that has made us the
veritable envy of the world. We, from
the onset of our Constitution, realized that we the people can aspire great
things, because we all hold in us something greater than ourselves, waiting to escape,
to manifest, and we, as a people, from every creed, nationality and color, can
reach out for any dream. Our destiny is ours. It does not belong to government.
Without
truth, there is nothing to venerate. We sit on the cusp of an abyss with a
bottom we cannot see, and so desperate to save the America we once knew, for
our posterity, we fear that our voice is too weak to make a difference. We must
stand together, united in the standard that was passed to us before it was stolen.
I'm telling you now, it is NOT too late.
All you have to do is say NO! We will not submit to an oligarchy. We are a
Republic, of and by the people. You do not mandate my Liberty, that sir, is
given to me by God.
Who
are we? Let's consider this...
We
are supposed to have a Republic based on Constitutional Law, not a Democracy.
Read the Federalist Papers, as they knew that Democracy has never existed...
that it has always morphed into mob rule, or a dictatorship. Now there are
those who say we are a Constitutional Democracy, but unless we include the word
Republic, our true safeguard to Liberty, that description of America is
lacking. We are in the Liberty movement, not the freedom movement, and our
founders told us that complete freedom could never exist, as there are those
who will abuse it... and that is why we have law. Liberty from Tyranny is a lofty and concise
goal, that can be reached, and maintained with vigilance. Settle for nothing that is not for the good of
America, from the lies we find on television, newspapers, magazines, music,
movies, and our government institutions, and fight back by not participating. Don't
buy it, or into it, and it will disappear. You see, money makes the world go
round... Ironically, as Thoreau often pointed out, "society" is
really the sum of all people, so the suppression of our inner desires are primarily
a result of our own doing. We can control outside influences by controlling
ourselves, as he so well articulated: "We have met the enemy, and he is us."
"God
bless America. And if you can but grant just one thing above all else... please
give us more IQ." -Ken LARive 1989 diary
