Declaration of Independence 2
Electric Boogaloo
Over the last few months I have spent much time thinking about how the US Federal Government is no longer serving the American people. After seeing overt and easily provable lies and omissions from our Federal Government spread by the legacy media I decided to leave my career in corporate America behind and instead work for the American people as a citizen journalist and activist for freedom.
For my first full-length article I wanted to reimagine the Declaration of Independence as if it were written to the current US Federal Government. This thought piece is meant to protest how far astray our government has gotten from “government of the people, by the people, for the people.”
In America, September 24, 2024
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen fifty United States of America and five US Territories, When in the Course 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.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men people are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men People, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.
Laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies States and Territories; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.
The history of the present King of Great Britain US Federal Government is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States and Territories. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
The US Federal Government has abused its power of document classification and leveraged back channel communication to avoid FOIA requests to keep secrets from the American people. The documents pertaining to investigations of September 11 and JFK’s assassination clearly aren’t classified to protect the means and methods used in the investigations. What are they hiding from the American people? Secrecy is the first rung on the ladder towards authoritarianism.
The US Federal Government has used American tragedies like September 11 to grow their surveillance powers and consolidate control under the executive branch through misnamed laws like the PATRIOT Act. The PATRIOT Act ushered in a secret court known as the FISA court, which largely just rubber stamps broad surveillance warrants against not only foreign actors but American citizens. Unlike previous laws like the 1968 Wiretap Act, the FISA court has no requirement that a crime is likely to be committed by those surveilled to surveil them.
Edward Snowden’s leaks prove the National Security Agency (NSA), or what I like to call the “National Surveillance Administration,” was gathering call records of millions of Americans under Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act. It also revealed the PRISM program, which was basically a backdoor to the servers of major internet companies like Google, Apple, and Microsoft, allowing digital mass surveillance on Americans. Surveillance is the second rung on the ladder towards authoritarianism.
The Bush Administration, CIA, and the Department of Defense lied to the American people, telling us there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Colin Powell then went to the United Nations Security Council and told the world that there were WMDs in Iraq. The Iraq War and the lie it was based on led to 4,487 Americans dead because of direct conflict and thousands of others due to suicide once they returned home. We sent our boys to fight a meaningless war, and those who fought in Iraq are still dealing with the consequences.
The Federal Government and the mainstream media have continually lied to us about the cause of the war in Ukraine. There are two major reasons Russia invaded Ukraine, and they’re both from US aggression. First, we have continually expanded NATO eastward since 1994 even though we promised NATO would not move “one inch eastward”. In 2008, intelligence officials, including William J. Burns, the current director of the CIA, wrote that NATO expansion into Ukraine was a redline for all Russian elites that might force them to intervene militarily.
The Federal Government also supported public protests with billions of dollars of funneled through NGOs that led to an armed coup against the democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych, who was against NATO expansion and closer to Russia than the US liked. A leaked call proved that Queen of the Neocons, Victoria Nuland, handpicked the unelected pro-Western leader that replaced him.
The Federal Government, specifically the Biden administration, has continually placed blame on Hamas as the roadblock to a ceasefire deal. However, after new reporting from DropSite news and Breaking Points, we now know that it actually has been Bibi Netanyahu who has been holding up a ceasefire deal. This conflict has cost at least 40,000+ lives, yet our Government won’t stop the flow of weapons to force a ceasefire deal.
COVID-19 and the government's response was full of lies and arbitrary recommendations about masks, social distancing, and failed to acknowledge effective early treatment practices developed by licensed physicians. The Mainstream Media, whose biggest advertiser is Big Pharma, called Ivermectin a horse dewormer. The FDA, largely funded by Big Pharma, then pushed this false narrative further. Ivermectin was used for river blindness and strongyloidiasis in humans before it was used on animals to treat heartworm. The discovery of Ivermectin won its discoverers the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Ivermectin was demonized so the Covid “Vaccines” could get emergency use authorization. Propaganda is the third rung on the ladder of authoritarianism.
The Federal Government and specifically the FBI primed social media platforms in the summer of 2020 by telling them that any stories coming out about corruption tied to the Biden family and Burisma were likely Russian disinformation campaigns.
This led to the Hunter Biden laptop story getting demoted three weeks before the 2020 presidential election. Then 51 'former' intelligence officials, though famously no one ever leaves intelligence, said in a letter that the laptop had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” Joe Biden then went out on the campaign trail and referenced this letter as proof the story wasn’t true.
The FBI would neither confirm nor deny if the laptop was Hunter Biden’s to ensure that the social media platforms wouldn’t end the demotion of the story leaving the American people unsure what to believe.
The Federal Government and the Biden Administration worked with social media companies using the threat of repealing Section 230 to censor the speech of leading virologists and doctors who spoke out against Anthony Fauci. This was proven both in the Twitter files as well as Zuckerberg’s recent letter to Jim Jordan, the chairman of the Weaponization of the Federal Government subcommittee. Censorship is the fourth rung on the ladder towards authoritarianism.
For waging war against nations Congress never voted on.
For largely hiding some these wars from the American people.
For extrajudicial killings of American citizens overseas.
For supporting a “defense” policy of aggression and total dominance of the world while our infrastructure has been crippled and our economy broken for those without a college education.
For keeping secrets paramount to why we started the global war on terror.
For wasting trillions of dollars on wars that, in fact, have made us less safe.
For keeping our borders open to immigrants and foreign agents who want to see our United States fall apart.
For leveraging a health crisis to force compliance with science we continually find out was poorly done or altered.
For working for the donor class first and the American people last.
It has expanded its power through continued reinterpretations of the Constitution.
It has worked to divide Americans through continued propaganda and psychological warfare campaigns.
It has shown no regard for the institutional decline among publicly funded universities.
It has allowed a class of bureaucrats to write laws when the constitution places that power solely in Congress.
It has let the American people down.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince Government whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant Tyrannical, is unfit to be the ruler of a rule free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish American brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies States, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies States are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown US Federal Government, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain Washington DC, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
Excellent!
