An examination of Independence
by Gwen Caldwell

Monday, July 4, 2011

I ponder the nature of independence today.

I wonder if you can be a slave and free at the same time.

How is it that we Americans have bought so many lies for over a century?

While we go out and feed the corporate machine with our federal reserve notes for things to BBQ, fireworks and a few beers to celebrate our Independence I pause and wonder how so many of us bought into this delusion of freedom. Is our enemy any different today then it was at the time the Declaration was signed? Yet we use this day to party like rock stars in celebration of an illusion.

The fact is we are dependent. Our government is a foreign corporation. That same de facto government has made us, as a nation, dependent. Its job is to make money just like all corporations. It serves the machine, not the people.

In 1871 when our United States government under the 44th Congress made our country a corporation we lost our independence. Everything else we would like to believe about our country and were taught is a lie. Our founding fathers gave us a Republic and a de jure government for the People, by the People and of the People. We, as a nation could only hold on to that ideal for less than one hundred years!

Yes, as we slip further into fascism and see lateral tones of Nazi Germany all over our great nation, it is cause for pause. Folks, you might find it shockingas I did, a few years ago to learn that every city, county, state, the state troopers, including our country are ALLcorporations! They have legally redefined their role and who they answer to and it is not We the People! Wake up from your comfort zone and your slumber, do the research. Yes, you have to research, because you have been fed lies about this country since you were born. At our government funded schools were taught that we have three branches of government to provide a check and balance system. If that were true how could our country be on the verge of collapse? How could we be involved in so many illegal wars all over the world? How could our Constitutional money have been taken from us? How could they be holding us in slavery with our Birth Certificates being traded for their profit on the stock markets? I ask you to THINK!

Get any copy of the Constitution and The Declaration of Independence then show me where it gives authority to the United Nations or NATO to have any say over what we do in this country. I challenge you! Show me where the President is given authority to legislate and run this country through Presidential Executive Orders, bypassing Congressour elected representativesthe voice of the people.

Find in that very same Constitution and Declaration of Independence where there is any authority for the Federal Reserve Bank and for it to print fiat money that is backed with nothing more than YOUR birth certificate.

Find in that Constitution or in the Declaration of Independence where its ok for SWAT teams to just kick in innocent peoples doors and fill a veteran full of bullets in front of his wife and children, because they SUSPECTED him of being involved in drugs. Show me where the Department of Education is even authorized much less given authority to send SWAT teams to kick in doors where they think a woman lives who didnt pay her student loan. Please someone explain to me the authority for the militarization of our police forces that used to be there to Serve and Protect. Show me in either of those founding documents that give us our Independencewhere the authority is for a Department of Social Services, giving them power to come into your home and take your children, then adopt them out for federal financial incentives. They can do that because when you went to the corporation and asked their permission to get married, they taxed you for the right to forfeit your children when you signed on the dotted line. Theyre harvesting their property as a cash crop. You are their field of dreams!

Does anyone even really have to wonder why our budget is out of control?! Its out of control, because the corporation is out of control! They have bloated themselves into a huge machine that cannot sustain itself. Yet their answer to the problem is this party that party nonsense. We have only one party in this corporation. Its the party of corruption and greed at the expense of the people.

Well, now lets take a look at other aspects of our independence. How about our oil consumption? Well, most of our oil used in this country is foreign oil, even though we have more oil under our country than we could ever use. Were dependent.

Our corporation is funded by the Federal Reserve Bank and the International Monetary Fund a foreign, privately owned bank and as federal as Fed-EX! Were dependent.

Our judges and lawyers are ALL members of the BAR: Esquires of the Crown. Were dependent.

Free Trade Agreements? Freely give all our jobs to third world countries at the expense of our own economic stability. Were dependent. It gets harder and harder to find anything made in America.

The corporations talking heads on the evening news spoon feed you more and more lies each and every day. While you sit like lap dogs and drink it up. We have no independence! Its all a lie or an illusion. The dog and pony show. Enjoy your party and fireworks, but do it as a memorial to this once great Independent country and for the lives that were given or destroyed by believing that your freedom and independence meant something worth fighting for.

This is a day of mourning for me.
