Speaking with Integrity

I am posting this video of a speech given by Larken Rose on July 4th in front of Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed. His words will make many uncomfortable, but the truth often is.

I personally do not endorse using guns or violence as a way to sort out disagreements and nor do I believe does he. It is especially not a good idea to use such a tactic when you are in a disagreement with a government, since nobody has at their disposal more guns or violence than they do. But it is precisely because of the willingness of the government to use guns and violence that the disagreements continue. When a man can get thrown in jail for expressing his disagreements with the government and pleading with them to simply clarify some questions of law, then you have to wonder where this country is headed. When speaking and asking questions becomes a crime, there are only two choices left, submit to your "masters" or fight back. I believe in the power of ideas and free communication. But it is a question of numbers. If it's just Larken rabble rousing, then he can easily be ostracized and ignored and if he squeaks too loudly, he can be thrown back in a cage. Single targets are easily picked off. But if more people can be made aware of the issues that are affecting their freedom day by day, and millions become willing to speak up and not always, simply doing unquestioningly as they are told, then perhaps a peaceful revolution is possible.

Love him or hate him, agree or disagree, it's nevertheless refreshing to see a man speak from the heart, with integrity and with out the aid of a teleprompter!

This is not what I had planned to say...

So I haven't posted in a while partly because I have been busy reading other peoples blogs and I am such a slow writer(and typer) but also because things are getting so fucked up in this world that I am finding it hard to concentrate on just one thing. I started writing what was going to be my next post the other day but didn't get to finish it. And then I came across this video presentation.

The subject presented in this video is something that I have been aware of and been studying for quite some time. It is also something that is very difficult to explain, not because it is tremendously difficult to understand but because it so goes against what "Everybody Knows" that people cannot confront it. You try to explain it and most people will think you are bloody nuts and won't even listen. This knowledge cuts to the very core of what people believe about themselves and their relationship to the "society" in which they live.

In the past Americans were fat and happy living high on the hog of credit and rising home values. They weren't about to think deep thoughts about what was really going on, as long as they were benefiting. Well times have changed and perhaps now they will be more interested in finding out where all their freedom and fortune went.

At this point in time England is a bit further down this road of pain than we are. The Big Brother police state is pretty much complete there. When you can get fined for placing your trash bin at a slightly improper angle or having your trash weigh too much I don't think there is much freedom left in that society. They have more surveillance cameras per square mile in London than in any other city in the world. Yet it is against the law for a person to film a police officer. England used to be famous because their policemen, Bobbies as they were known then, kept law and order without carrying guns. Now the people have no rights to own any guns and the police are armed and armored to the gills. So some people in England are starting to wake up and realize something must be done.(Those who are not lobotomized by psychiatric drugs or mesmerized by the telly or just plain dumbed down into submission by the standard educational processing.)

While America and Americans are larger and a bit harder to get a handle on than the relatively small, not so "Merry Old England", the pressure is building and the noose is tightening here at an almost exponential rate. So if you want to know how we went from a free people to a docile, obedient herd of sheeple being shorn and led to slaughter, these videos explain it rather succinctly and clearly, if you can get past the speakers "English"accent.

This is the system, be it in England or America or any other "civilized" country. It is a system that robs, rapes and pillages and even kills by the use of words. And the only reason they get away with it is because the people don't comprehend these words.

So if you want that uneasy feeling in the pit of your stomach to go away and you can't be bothered with something so inconvenient as the truth, take a handful of blue pills and go squat back down in front of the telly. Hurry up, you might be missing Dancing with the Stars!

If however you are an active, enthusiastic participant and supporter of this system, then perhaps you should take some time to consider what it means to be human and decide whether you really want to be one or not, but please stop the deceit.

But if you are hungering for a bit of truth and are sick and tired of that feeling of having been played for a fool, then I invite you to press play....
