Self-reliance
is the only road to true freedom, and being one's own person is its ultimate
reward.

Declaring Your Independence from
Government: My annual 4th of July message about incompetence,
dishonesty & preserving your independence.
What are you doing to help preserve freedom?
Our founders intended to
create a society where freedom and liberty would be maximized, but that is not
what America looks like today. Instead, we live in a country that
literally has millions of laws which are strangling economic growth
and turning millions of people into criminals…Our
government in many cases, has become the enemy of the people!
It seems to me that time is growing short. America has a toxic combination of corrupt politicians who have been in office too long and powerful Wall Street and other special interests which are ruining our nation.
In
our nation right now, there are powerful institutions actively fighting to keep
us all enslaved. Those include the government itself, the mainstream media and
special interests on Wall Street or as I call it, the Washington-Wall Street
Cartel. Yes, they are just like drug
cartels.
Everyone wants the opportunity
for economic prosperity in a fair and just system where hard work and
innovation is rewarded. Everybody is tired of the lies and oppression of
corrupt politicians, evil corporations and the lying news media
As tyrants become more bold, so too must the citizenry.
Americans are
easily bamboozled by the armies of professional PR staff politicians use to lie
to the American public. Too many seem
blind to our demise.
America is
quickly splitting into two distinctly different groups of people: Those that
live off a government guarantee, like government workers, greedy bankers and
welfare recipients...and those who pay for it.
Too many
of our cities are on the verge of collapse.
This is in large part because of poor and dishonest political
leadership. Corruption and democratic
rule for 50 years in Detroit, for example, we find nearly half the citizens
cannot afford running water. In an area with the largest body of fresh water on
the planet, it has some of the highest water rates in the nation. Michigan’s governor is helping to bail out
government worker pensions from that city but hasn’t lifted a finger to remedy
the water problem.
Nearly
10,000 city residents received water shutoff notices from the city and I find
it sad that the United Nations is now publicly blasting the water situation in
Michigan as a human rights violation.
(1)
In New York, 1 in 6 families faces starvation. (2) The collapse of America into
third-world conditions is happening so rapidly and unexpectedly that the United
Nations may soon be called in to "rescue" city-dwellers. (3) Since
2001, America has suffered a loss of 56,000 manufacturing facilities (4), and
southern towns are now being literally overrun by such a huge wave of
undocumented immigrants that the Department of Homeland Security has declared a
Level Four Alert.
An estimated 750,000 to nearly 1 million Americans are living off-the-grid. Interest in self-reliance is growing around the country in order to lessen — and if possible, cut — all dependences on the government and corporations, which have become bloated and increasingly more controlling.

Off-the-grid
living doesn’t mean living in the dark ages ... it’s about being self-reliant.
It’s about producing your own power, your own water system and septic. A few
companies are now specializing in “green” modular homes that come with solar
panels and complete battery back-up power in addition to water collection
systems. They sell for around $80,000. The initial market was low-cost housing
for third-world countries. But now, wealth Americans who worry about the state
of U.S. affairs see these turnkey self-reliance solutions as a way to gain
peace of mind.
America,
by almost every measure, is declining…culturally, politically and
economically. Our freedoms and privacy
are shrinking, and every week brings new law enforcement abuses to light. Many feel that America is losing its identity
and its middle class.
True to form, governments and corporations dislike any form of empowerment that allows us to break free of their control. A self-sustaining lifestyle cuts them out. It allows us to develop communities of like-minded folks who crave the hard work and freedom of taking care of themselves.
Carl Sagan, an American scientist and Ivy League professor said it best:

Carl Sagan, an American scientist and Ivy League professor said it best:
“One
of the saddest lessons of history is this: If
we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle.
We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured
us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been
taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”
The Obama white
House has used the Espionage Act against more whistleblowers and journalists
and spied upon more journalists than any other President in history…
To me, knowing
how to be self-reliant in a natural way is more important now than ever
because, in the event of a shock to national or global supply chains, we’ll
want to have peace of mind.
Americans are losing confidence in all three branches of the Federal government. Fewer than one in 10 citizens have faith in Congress, just 29 percent express confidence in the President and only 30 percent feel the Supreme Court is doing a good job.
The numbers, according to the Gallup polling agency, indicate historical lows in American confidence for both Congress and the Supreme Court, along with the lowest Presidential approval since Barack Obama took office.
We don’t need another election, We need another Revolution
This has become my battle cry for nearly 20 years and I get mighty angry when I see how fat, dumb and apathetic my fellow citizens have become. Are you doing anything to preserve our heritage against public officials who seem hell bent on destroying our freedom?

I also
recommend watching segments of Bill Moyers…one of the few journalists who
actually interviews people who are informed and critical of the never-ending BS
which spews forth from the district of corruption…
I don’t know
about you, but I am terribly tired of living in a land where intolerance in the
supposed name of tolerance has become the rule and where government, at all
levels, ignore the rule of law.
Our
forefathers fought against a king whose taxes and other rules they could not
abide by. Today, the number of
anti-freedom laws we have would choke most of those Patriots!
I believe
we’re at a point for a major national reset in this country…it could go either
way. A complete meltdown initiated by
the government including a declaration of martial law…OR, we could find that
enough citizens have awakened to finally take action and stop reelecting the
fools which have steered a nasty course for our nation.
Gallup Poll: Satisfaction With Their Freedoms Has Record Drop
Among Americans
We have long discussed the erosion of civil liberties in the United States, including the attacks on privacy and other rights by the Obama Administration. It appears that we are not alone in those concerns. A new Gallup poll shows a record drop in the satisfaction of Americans over their freedoms.
