Forum Post: Declaration of Retrieval

"If ever the time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin," Samuel Adams.

When the wisdom of those who came before us shows itself to be true, it becomes imperative for the people to tell their oppressors to release the shackles. The government of the people has been usurped by tyrants who profit while the people's suffering only intensifies.

We are told of our “unalienable rights” of “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness,” but these rights have been traded on Wall Street to corporations, and sold to banks by the FED, all empowered and ratified by politicians who have forgotten their duty to the people. With greedy-eyed focus on the seductive allure of a dollar, the people are forgotten.

The people have not forgotten our rights, though. We have begun to stand up. Will those who hoard power relinquish control, or will they openly reveal themselves as the tyrants we were warned would come? The oppressive government can no longer push the people aside. It is time to heed the will of the people.

For selling our freedom for the profit of the few.

For trading our rights for a false notion of security.

For allowing legal bribery in the name of lobbying.

For dismantling our education while spending on the education of those who our rulers have attacked and attempted to force their ideology on.

For catering to a system which burdens young, educated people by years of indebtedness.

For creating numerous committees charged with restricting the ability to make a living, and to move freely within our own borders, all in the name of something that is not understood.

For intimidating those who disagree with the regime.

For instilling paranoia in the people.

For stifling freedom of speech.

For wide-spread hypocrisy and corruption.

For making a once prosperous nation into a debtor nation.

For relinquishing control of our economy and money to the FED, which is not part of the government.

For not protecting our borders and leading us into a quagmire where people's existence in the land of the free is considered illegal.

For being aggressors.

For turning this country from a free land to one that forces others to the tyrants' will.

For all the empty talk and inaction.

For lying to the people.

For filling our prisons with people who did not harm anyone, and burdening the people with the cost.

For allowing law enforcement to make the rules as they go.

For giving police authority to enter our homes based on a suspicion.

For not learning from the mistakes of previous rulers.

For technologically quartering police in homes based on suspicion.

For allowing and defending the tyrannical use of torture.

For being so bloodthirsty that even citizens are fair game to quench their thirst.

For not giving habeas corpus or due process to, and even killing, anyone the oppressors say is an enemy of the state.

For making us reliant on people who hate us.

For inconsistent and arbitrary use of power.

For denying equal civil rights.

For the war on minorities and counter-cultures, called the war on drugs, and perpetuating the violence this has caused.

For turning a land that was loved and longed for by outsiders to a land that is hated and feared.

For allowing banks to make the rules of our economy.

For turning the government of the people to the government of the elite.

For making people fear the government.

For giving the police more power than the people.

For giving courts more power than the people.

For giving politicians more power than the people.

For giving the FED and banks more power than the people.

For giving Wall Street more power than the people.

For giving corporations more power than the people.

For giving foreign governing bodies more power than the people.

For these reasons it is time to take the power back.

With the technological advances that have occurred in recent history, there is no reason for the people not to vote on laws which effect them, other than the tyrants lust for power, money, and a false notion of glory. It is time to tell the misguided, self-righteous, greedy tyrants that this is our land!
