- This nation was not born into this world as it exists
today. It began with an idea that slipped through the rigid and established
traditions of the Old World Order, to offer its new citizens a brief
interlude with concepts that no nation had ever attained before. This
'freedom' in a fledgling Republic was theirs to lose-if they failed to
understand the symbiotic relationship between the half-armored, half human,
Freedom & Responsibility.
-
-
-
-
-
- The founders lost this battle early, but succeeding generations
fought to keep that torch alive, and over the decades chose to fight
against the Old and rigid 'traditions' from a collective past that came
directly from the Dark Ages.
-
- Bit by bit Americans fought against the grain to establish
for themselves and their posterity many of those rights that so many
take for-granted today. One such period that encompassed most of the real
fights over the future direction of this nation, came during the years
surrounding the First World War.
-
- There is a biography of Louise Bryant that takes us back
to those heady Days of Protest & Rebellion. The story relates from
the inside, the real battles between the rights of all people to a living
wage and the demands of Capitalism that sought to maintain its stranglehold
upon the vast populations of the world, who had to fight for every crumb
of existence. Along the way the struggle for Women's Rights, the fate
of the Union organizers as well as the in- bred conflict between the autocratic
dictates of the establishment and the god-given rights of human beings
to determine their own lives-each and all come into play-because that
is what Louise's life and the lives of those she knew were all about.

- If Americans had discovered the substance in these events,
as part of their basic education, we would not be in the situation that
we find ourselves facing today. The biography is long (by web standards)
but well worth the time if you want to understand how all these un-American
laws and national Crimes-Against-Humanity have become commonplace today.
Here's an excerpt from part four that sheds some light on what is ours,
versus what the government has stolen from us-in the name of national
security-in-a-time-of war!
-
- "The freedoms the defendants claim as their birth-right
will be no more if we are vanquished by a mortal enemy." Then Socialist
Norris Hilquit for the defendants: "Constitutional rights are not
a gift.
- Countless thousands paid for them with their lives.
War or no war; constitutional rights taken away and given back are never
again the vivifying force they were before when they expressed the soul
of a nation. They become just a gift to be given and to be taken away.
..." It was noon, Monday, April 28, 1918.
-
- From a Senator in Senate Hearings, questioning Ms. Bryant:
"You say you don't want to see this nation intervene in Russian affairs.
Do you then think it is all right for the Bolshevik government to stir
up a revolution in the United States?" At this question, she rose
slightly from her chair, remained silent for several seconds, and then
said passionately: "Revolutions, sir, are not like commodities that
are exported from one country to another. They are created by conditions
within a country. The Russian Czars made the Bolshevik revolution possible.
If there is ever a revolution in this, my country, it will not be created
by the Wobblies or the anarchists or anyone else. It will be the result
of the sort of repression now sweeping this country, and by those of this
country's leaders who want to see the repression go on."
-
- Louise in a note: "I have been testifying before
the Senate Judiciary Committee and I want you to know my impressions of
that unpleasant experience . . . I found myself at a long table, at which
sat six men with cold eyes and harsh angry voices. They were my countrymen,
but they were also my enemies. Their hate was naked and ugly, the flame
of it burned away the mist before my eyes and I came away with the old,
vague fears suddenly turned into vivid realities. . .
-
- The men I write about are old men - not so old in years
as in obsolete thoughts. They have determined to fight for a world as
it was before the Great War - and that world no longer exists. They
had decided to crush unmercifully all defenders of change. Each aged
senator, chewing his everlasting cigar, sees in himself a Marquise de
Lantenac - a strong man of the hour.
-
- I have never been afraid of intelligent conversation,
but I am afraid of ignorance, ignorance is cruel and intolerant. One
cannot reason with it. When I went before the Committee I was full of
hope. Here in America, I said to myself, we can surely get together .
. . the breach is not so wide, there need be no violence. But; I was wrong,
there will be. Our conservatives will see to that. It is idle to plead
with such men; they will bring the house down on their own heads. They
will destroy themselves and thousands of others. How many centuries ago
Sophocles wrote: 'Woe for the doom of a dark soul!'" (2)
-
- Several times throughout the biography politicians and
various tyrants are "burned in effigy" maybe it's time
that this practice came back into vogue.
-
- The United States today has become a hologram that cites
as its reason for being-the existence of the hologram-which is both unreal
and completely self-referential. Much talk revolves around the Constitution,
the legalities of this or that action by the feral government, yet none
of this has any bearing on the realities of life in Occupied America today.
This is so for several very petty reasons. Foremost among these reasons
is the fact that "sworn oaths" have come to mean less than nothing.
In the real world of USA Incorporated, the only the oaths that count are
taken when joining any of the Secret Societies, along with that oath so
freely given, to Smoke & Mirrors, which is made to one's membership
in major political parties. This is nothing more than a fantasy upon a
farce: as whatever either supposed party "stands- for" changes
with the political wind of every passing moment.
-
- The other major departure from reality today is the fact
that the people of this country have forsaken the laws of the constitution
for their worship of Mammon, the god of Money. Somehow all of this became
confused with the classical ideal of Victory and accomplishments unlimited.
But the most famous image of Victory has no head, because she does not
belong to any one person, just as Defeat is always headless-because no
one ever claims it!
- ?
- Together these unrealities have combined to write our
national epitaph in the Chemtrails that have begun to spell out our future,
because we have chosen to remain in the Vestibule of Dante's Inferno:
just inside the Gates of Hell.
-
- There one finds the impossibly massive numbers of those
that have continued to refuse to choose in life: so that in death they
spend eternity chasing that forever whirling standard of the chaos that
stands for nothing. Yet no matter how small the decision, everyone must
choose something to believe in. Americans however, seem to believe that
they are immune from such troublesome choices. So we have created this
mythical hologram of ideologies and constructs that cannot survive within
the poisoned air, the toxic land, or the undrinkable water of the world
as it is today.
-
- One wonders what the many would have thought; who fought
so long for so many divergent 'rights and powers' had they but known how
their descendants would have chosen to squander each and every one of
their dreams: simply because we couldn't be bothered to discover anything
about the way things really worked in this country, and that was less
than a hundred years ago.
-
- So many died, so many were destroyed to gain the simplest
of basic things, and yet today that struggle of theirs might as well have
taken place on Mars, for all the difference that it has not made in the
thinking of our self-absorbed society: A self-concerned herd of terrified
individuals that has deserted everything that we once said we 'stand for.'
-
- If all the life on this planet were to be shown upon
a one-hour clock, the portion that mankind has been here would occupy
only the last one-one-hundredth of the very last second. That's how insignificant
we are in the grand scheme of things. Yet in that miniscule time we have
managed to utterly destroy our own place upon the planet; and now we are
the single greatest threat to its existence. In addition we can't even
seem to find ways for capitalism and the ordinary rights of people anywhere
to co-exist.
-
- Evolution and Extinction are part of the natural balance
in this world. If we don't begin to find ways to both remain alive and
return to living in accord with nature: then we shall soon disappear.
The Judeo-Christian Ethic proclaimed Nature as the enemy of mankind-something
that had to be conquered and contained-so that man could reign supreme.
That hasn't worked out, and it never will.
-
- Look around you, one act of nature can destroy a thousand
years of humanity, in a few seconds: yet in the world of men too many
have forgotten what happened to the despotic rulers of old, when they
denied the rights of their slaves to anything remotely like a life! That's
where the Guillotine came into this equation. The new rulers of the Old
World Order are about to relearn that age-old rule firsthand, because
none of us has ever "deserved" to spend their lives living above
all the rest of us.
-
- Our storied past can only serve as prologue for tomorrow
if we heed what happened there and choose to change our ways. Only time
can tell us whether we have reached our Zenith as a species, or whether
we shall be recycled back, into the dust we share, with all of human-history.
