declaration of independence for the liberty of the individual free for anyone to use ( revised version)
There comes a time when one must stand and say “enough is enough” to the government’s abuses, even if it means standing alone.
Believing that everyone has a natural and divine right to direct thier own lives, here are a list of truths for the decision to sever ties to the government:
All men and women are created equal.
All people possess certain innate rights that no government or agency or individual can take away from them. Among these are the right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
The government’s job is to protect the people’s innate rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. The government’s power to govern anyone comes from the concent of that individual.
Whenever any government abuses its power, it is the right of the individual to revoke that concent and/or for "the people" in any capacity united or individualy to alter or abolish that government and replace it with a new government that will respect and protect the rights of the individual or to remain without any government.
The decision to repudiate government is not for minor transgressions. In fact, as history has shown, people resist change and are inclined to suffer all manner of abuses to which they have become accustomed.
However, when people have been subjected to repeated abuses and power grabs, carried out with the purpose of establishing a tyrannical government, people have a right and duty to do away with that Government to protect and preserve their innate rights for their future wellbeing.
This is exactly the state of affairs we are suffering under right now, which is why it is necessary that we disregard this system of government.
The history of the present Government is a history of repeated abuses and power grabs, carried out with the intention of establishing absolute Tyranny over the country.
To prove this, consider the following:
I. The government has, through its own negligence and arrogance, refused to adopt or abolish laws for the good of the people.
II. The government has threatened to hold up critical laws unless the people agree to relinquish their right to be fully represented in the Legislature.
III. In order to expand its power and bring about compliance with its dictates; the government has made it nearly impossible for the people to make their views and needs heard.
IV. The government has repeatedly suppressed protests arising in response to its actions.
V. The government has allowed its agents to harass the people and steal from them. With asset forfiture
VI. The government has directed militarized government agents—a.k.a., a standing army—to police peacetime.
VII. The government has turned the country into a militarized police state.
VIII. The government has conspired to undermine the rule of law and the constitution in order to expand its own powers.
IX. The government has allowed its militarized police to invade our homes. Through no knock raids and falcified warrents that hold no merit.
X. The government has failed to hold its agents accountable for wrongdoing and murder.
XI. The government has taxed us without our permission.
XII. The government has denied us due process and the right to a fair trial.
XIII. The government has engaged in extraordinary rendition.
XIV. The government has continued to expand its imperial empire and occupy foreign nations.
XV. The government has eroded fundamental legal protections and destabilized the structure of government.
XVI. The government has declared its federal powers superior to those of the states.
XVII. The government has ceased to protect the people and instead waged war against the people.
XVIII. The government has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burned our towns, and destroyed the lives of the people.
XIX. The government has employed private contractors a.k.a mercenarys and mercenaries to carry out acts of death, desolation and tyranny, unworthy of a civilized nation.
XX. The government has pitted its citizens against each other.
XXI. The government has stirred up civil unrest and laid the groundwork for martial law.
XXII. Repeatedly, we have asked the government to cease its abuses. Each time, the government has responded with more abuse.
XXIII. An Imperial Ruler who acts like a tyrant is not fit to govern a free people.
XXIV. The government has staged numerous false flag attacks to start wars examples:
i. Spanish-American war, 1898
ii. World War I, 1914-1918:
iii. The attack on Pearl Harbour
iv. Vietnam War
v. War on Drugs
vi. US-Israeli sponsored war between Iraq and Iran, 1980-1988:
vii. Desert Storm (First Gulf war), 1991):
viii. War on Terror:
ix. Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan invasion), 7.10.2001-:
x. Enduring Justice (Second Gulf war), 20.3.2003-: later known with less irony as Operation Iraqi Freedom
We have repeatedly sounded the alarm to the people of the government’s abuses. We have warned them about the government’s powergrabs. We have appealed to their sense of justice. We have reminded them of our common bonds.
They have rejected our plea for justice and brotherhood. They are equally at fault for the injustices being carried out by the government; for those who passivly accepts evil are as responsable as they who perpitrates evil.
Thus, for the reasons mentioned above, we individualy declare ourselves free from the chains of an abusive government. Relying on God’s protection and our own, we pledge to stand by this Declaration of Independence for Liberty with our lives, our fortunes and our honor.
In the years since early Americans first declared and eventually won their independence from Great Britain, the descendants of those revolutionary patriots—have somehow managed to work ourselves right back under the tyrant’s thumb.
Only this time, the tyrant is one of there own making: the U.S. government.
The abuses by government and endured by the people have not ended. They have merely evolved.
We are still being robbed blind by a government of thieves.
We are still being exploited of by a government of scoundrels and cowards.
We are still being locked up by a government of jailers.
We are still being ravaged by a government of rapists and killers.
We are still being forced to not only surrender our freedoms—but those of our postarity—to a government of extortionists.
And we are still being gunned doiwn by a government of soldiers: a standing army.
Hiding behind the guise of national security, the war on drugs, the war on terror, the war on immigration, and a plethra of other official-sounding programs aimed at expanding the government’s power at the expense of individual freedoms.
The building blocks for the bleak future we’re just now getting a foretaste of—police shootings of unarmed citizens, profit-driven prisons, weapons of compliance, a wall-to-wall surveillance state, pre-crime programs, a suspect society, school-to-prison pipelines, militarized police, overcriminalization, SWAT team raids, endless wars, etc.—were put in place by government officials we trusted to look out for our best interests and by American citizens who failed to heed James Madison’s warning to “take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties.”
In so doing, we compromised our principles, negotiated away our rights, and allowed the rule of law to be rendered irrelevant.
There is no knowing how long it will take to undo the damage brought by government corruption, and apathetic sheep.
The problems we are facing will not be fixed overnight; the grim reality is that the longer we wait the more violent the state will become in its attempts to retain power.
We may see not end the police state in our lifetime or for generations to come. That does not mean we should give up or give in.
Remember, there is always a price to be paid for remaining silent in the face of injustice.
That price is tyranny.
You don’t have to play by the rules of the corrupt politicians, manipulative media, and brainwashed peers.
