Stand for Sovereignty

Shared recently on Face Book, the following inspiring words are not my own.  Thank you Tom, for voicing what so many of us are feeling. America once brought in a revolutionary spirit.  It is time to bring it in, again.

"Here’s the question everyone is asking:

“Is Edward Snowden a hero or a criminal, a whistleblower or a traitor?”

But here’s the question they really should be asking:

“Does America still have its original revolutionary backbone, or are we a nation of sheep?”

There is the possibility that Snowden’s courageous action has triggered, something much more momentous – a sudden unexpected shift in the American Psyche – a realization that since 9/11 something has gone terribly wrong in the land of the free and the home of the brave … that the NSA, CIA, FBI are starting to smell like the East German’s Stasi, The Russian KGB, The Fascist police states of the 1930’s and 1940’s – that Americans are spying on Americans … that we are being treated like a nation of petrified snitches cowering in the dark … and that the time has come to turn the light on in a darkened America.

Maybe this weekend someone working at NSA headquarters will get fed up, once and for all, with spying on his fellow citizens and turn another light on in that big, black box … telling us in detail how things really work in there.

And then, maybe the week after, a CIA operative at the Pentagon will suddenly decide to come clean and tell us how the Iraq war really started and provide us with one of those torture videos that were supposedly destroyed.

And then, maybe an army intelligence officer will fill us in on what really happened in Afghanistan, in Pakistan, in Yemen – telling us who our allies really are and what regimes we really support in the deep global state behind the veneer of mainstream media. Then …

Maybe on July 4th someone at The Whitehouse will remember that this nation was built upon revolution … and that the nation’s integrity, democracy – hell, the nation’s entire future depends upon the existence of people like Snowden who dare to tell us what really goes on behind closed doors, that these otherwise ordinary people continue to summon the courage and humanity to come out of the shadows and take a stand against institutionalized criminality.

Maybe, like at the end of a movie, when the hero finally reveals his true identity and everyone rises to applause, an unstoppable wave of courageous souls will now stand up in solidarity and turn the lights on all over this darkened nation, kicking off a chain reaction of refusal against the military-surveillance complex that President Eisenhower tried to warn us against half a century ago."

The Roots of Our Slavery

In the Midwest, USA summer is just days away; gardening season is upon us.  The blossoming has begun and in a few weeks time the green grass will be merely a backdrop for a vibrant explosion of color.  We’ll be surrounded with flowers.

If you’ve done any yard work then you most likely know the most efficient way to keep weeds at bay.  You’ve got to dig deep and pull them out into the sun, exposing the root.  They’ll decompose and nourish the soil, in turn feeding the flowers and vegetables you’d like to keep.  It takes a bit of effort, yet it’s a permanent fix – at least for that particular weed.

It may look like Edward Snowden is one of the mightiest weed pullers.  In fact he is.  Yet if you listen to his words you’ll see he understands that the complete root has yet to be exposed; more work is required for that permanent fix.  A complete statement is here.  What shouted out from it all was this: “The great fear that I have regarding the outcome for America of these disclosures is that nothing will change. [People] won’t be willing to take the risks necessary to stand up and fight to change things…” Edward Snowden

He is speaking about the deepest roots and they still grow quite comfortably inside each of us.  It is not possible for a weed to grow without the proper environment.  Slavery takes root because our very nature feeds it.  We cannot reach back far enough in our history to find absolute freedom.  Kingdoms, caste systems and royalty were a part of our earliest ancestry.  Who then are we?  Were we created for slavery?  With all the current information available, that answer appears to be yes.

Can we escape the slavery mindset?  Again, the answer is yes.  Yet, as Edward Snowden so wisely tells us, we have to get to the deepest part of this root and remove it.  That will take some very real effort by each one of us.

Data harvesting with our tools of communication and commerce would not be possible in an empowered society.  The idea that some “authority”, “program”, “bank” or “institution” knows your password and you are comfortable with that is ludicrous.  That password is the key to most of your public and private life.  Who besides you do you want in there?

The thinking that you must perform and obey is taught.  If subservience and servitude and conformity can be taught – then it can be forgotten.  You cannot forget to breathe.  You cannot forget to love.

Understand that you’ll have to dig deep and it’ll be hard.  You’ll have to refuse the shiny, easy, “in your face” tools that are feeding the slavery system; Google, twitter, face book, Skype.  The jolt you are feeling is not fatal; it is a trained reaction to resisting the norm.  It’ll pass.

There are alternatives.  They may not be as pretty or convenient – yet.  Consider the price you are in truth paying for cooperating inside the slavery system.  Your freedom is at stake.  In July 2013 Project XIII will be released.  There are numerous others here.

We cannot expect change if we are not willing to dig deep.  The world will change without firing a shot once we refuse to cooperate with it as it stands.  Sovereignty is equality – no one has any more rights or value than you do.  No one.

I’ve had 3 face book and 2 email accounts hacked and compromised.  I am no longer on Facebook, so please post this there if you are.  I’d like for my friends to see it and know where I’ve gone.  I will post all updates on the blog as I’ll be changing many of my locations (email, you tube, twitter) after doing some further research.  I’ll choose again. 

We are in a time of enormous possibility for growth and abundance.  The weeds have to be permanently removed so our growth is not impeded, limited or restricted.  Once removed, they will nourish our new growth.  We are here now to do this very thing. It’s time to find and pull some weeds and their inevitable roots.

As you catch yourself thinking like a slave – stop.  Think again.  Decide what price you are willing to pay and then proceed.  Know that you embody eternal essence.  There is no dollar amount that can contain your worth.  You are limitless.  You are priceless.  Act like the God that you are.

There is no more waiting.  You are the One.
