The Course of Human Events
History, for those still educated or inspired enough to actually study it, is replete with incidences of tyrannical government and oppressive regimes. The establishment of the Constitutional Republic of the United States of America was a remarkable document, far ahead of it’s time in regards to it’s respect for the individual rights and freedom of all mankind. Freedom of religion, speech, the right to bear arms, to not be forced to testify, limited government, and other protections from absolute despotism made the United States the freest and most prosperous country in the world.
But time tends to blur memories, and people tend to forget the way things are supposed to be.
But we cannot afford to forget, and we are duty-bound to protect the rights we have as natural beings living on this Earth. We cannot exist as subjects of an arbitrary governing force that rules by coercion instead of consent. As free human beings, we are obligated to resist when the forces of tyranny usurp our rights to live, think, pray, eat, drink and speak as we wish.
Unconstitutional laws such as the USA PATRIOT Act and the Military Commissions Act, the suspension of Habeus Corpus and Posse Comitatus, and the establishment of an autocratic police state buit on fear, lies and deception are not what America stands for and it certainly should not be tolerated by free citizens anywhere regardless of nationality.
Freedom from fear should be the main priority of every person alive. By surrendering to fear, you give unethical and greedy men just that much more power. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin were all considered traitors to the British Empire, but fear did not prevent the formation of an independent American Republic. There is no reason why the spirit of courage and conviction cannot be rekindled amongst the population today in response to undue tyranny and repression.
With the rise of the mass media and the internet, an explosive change in human understanding and perspective has occurred. Billions now have access to the Internet, and We are Change hopes to use this new medium to reach out to everyone interested in the cause of truth, liberty, peace and freedom.
