Girl: you looking tired!

When in the course of of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation.

Great opening paragraph to the historic Declaration of Independence penned on July 4th 1776, by Thomas Jefferson. I have stood on many street corners and squares reading aloud those words, even in front of the White House itself.
But the question needs to be asked: have we truly separated from the British Empire, are 'We the People' truly "free?"
In the sense of having the "freedom" to eat and fuck anything we choose, or to pull a lever from a selected choice of contestants, we are freer than most on this planet; but to have the power of self- determination, to determine you and your communities direction, I believe the answer is: "no."

The British may have lost the battle but in hindsight they are winning the war. Cecil Rhodes had a dream to reunite all the English speaking world in a global confederation; his dream as we view the worlds landscape is becoming a reality. There was a time when the United States was the envy of the world; its revolutionary war of independence gave inspiration to the billions of enslaved people to be free too. Not just by becoming citizens but by the similar use of national liberation; using the armed struggle to free themselves thus allowing for the creation of a democratic Republic where all are "created" equal...

We do not inspire this spirit any longer; we have become everything we rebelled against!

Red coats anyone?

Oh, the irony!
(But if your "friends" are the British and Israel than you do not need enemies!)

Sorry to bring you down on this day of national celebration, but it is important to take stock of where we are going by first realizing from whence we have come. If 'We the People' are again in tyranny, this time of our OWN making, then we must recognize that a renaissance of our national identity must be evoked in order to rejuvenate ourselves as a people and as a nation. A return to the genesis of our story; a return to the principles and actions which made this great experiment, to determine whether man can rule himself is possible.
I know it is, I and millions of us live it everyday; 232 years of history speaks to this truth.

I and others have engaged in the various forms of organized protest, hoping to redirect the course of contemporary events. The foundation for change has been set in motion; the outcome of these acts can be seen all around us. A new nation is being born inside the United States: fulfilling the dreams of the founders.

To continue this awakening, I have decided on this day of American Independence, that I am declaring my Independence; I am declaring my nations Independence and encouraging others who value the fruits of liberty and justice to follow.
In the course of this struggle we will continue re igniting the institutions of what is left of the great United States of America, birthing new life in what is now a dying nation. Providing the
spirit necessary to move a dispirited people to once again act in support of its posterity. And if ultimately it means full Separation than the project for creating this "Phoenix" among all this darkness is alive and well too.

232 years old today, god love ya old girl... but you have to exercise your tired ass or get the hell out of the way!!
