Do not destroy that immortal emblem of Humanity—the Declaration of American Independence.

This speech from Abraham Lincoln should be required reading by everyone currently holding office in the U.S.A. and citizens who still believe in independence, it was given by President Lincoln in 1858.
My have we lost our way from this wisdom.

LINCOLN ON THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

I cannot close this letter without giving your readers a passage from Mr. Lincoln’s noble and impressive apostrophe to the Declaration of Independence. This was truly one of the finest efforts of public speaking I ever listened to. It gave to his auditors such an insight into the character of the man as ought to carry him into the Senate on a great surge of popular affection. In my poor opinion, Mr. Lincoln is not only one of the foremost men in the Northwest in the nobility and excellence of his character, the clearness and scope of his intellect, but the peer of any man who has sat in the Senate since the mighty shadows of Webster and Clay ceased to darken the threshold of the Capitol.


**** The Declaration of Independence (said Mr. L.) was formed by the representatives of American liberty from thirteen States of the confederacy—twelve of which were slaveholding communities. We need not discuss the way or the reason of their becoming slaveholding communities. It is sufficient for our purpose that all of them greatly deplored the evil and that they placed a provision in the Constitution which they supposed would gradually remove the disease by cutting off its source. This was the abolition of the slave trade. So general was conviction—the public determination—to abolish the African slave trade, that the provision which I have referred to as being placed in the Constitution, declared that it should not be abolished prior to the year 1808. A constitutional provision was necessary to prevent the people, through Congress, from putting a stop to the traffic immediately at the close of the war. Now, if slavery had been a good thing, would the Fathers of the Republic have taken a step calculated to diminish its beneficent influences among themselves, and snatch the boon wholly from their posterity? These communities, by their representatives in old Independence Hall, said to the whole world of men: “We hold these truths to be self evident: that all men 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.” This was their majestic interpretation of the economy of the Universe. This was their lofty, and wise, and noble understanding of the justice of the Creator to His creatures. [Applause.]

Yes, gentlemen, to all His creatures, to the whole great family of man. In their enlightened belief, nothing stamped with the Divine image and likeness was sent into the world to be trodden on, and degraded, and imbruted by its fellows. They grasped not only the whole race of man then living, but they reached forward and seized upon the farthest posterity. They erected a beacon to guide their children and their children’s children, and the countless myriads who should inhabit the earth in other ages. Wise statesmen as they were, they knew the tendency of prosperity to breed tyrants, and so they established these great self-evident truths, that when in the distant future some man, some faction, some interest, should set up the doctrine that none but rich men, or none but white men, were entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, their posterity might look up again to the Declaration of Independence and take courage to renew the battle which their fathers began—so that truth, and justice, and mercy, and all the humane and Christian virtues might not be extinguished from the land; so that no man would hereafter dare to limit and circumscribe the great principles on which the temple of liberty was being built. [Loud cheers.]
Now, my countrymen (Mr. Lincoln continued with great earnestness,) if you have been taught doctrines conflicting with the great landmarks of the Declaration of Independence; if you have listened to suggestions which would take away from its grandeur, and mutilate the fair symmetry of its proportions; if you have been inclined to believe that all men are not created equal in those inalienable rights enumerated by our chart of liberty, let me entreat you to come back. Return to the fountain whose waters spring close by the blood of the Revolution. Think nothing of me—take no thought for the political fate of any man whomsoever—but come back to the truths that are in the Declaration of Independence. You may do anything with me you choose, if you will but heed these sacred principles. You may not only defeat me for the Senate, but you may take me and put me to death. While pretending no indifference to earthly honors, I do claim to be actuated in this contest by something higher than an anxiety for office. I charge you to drop every paltry and insignificant thought for any man’s success. It is nothing; I am nothing; Judge Douglas is nothing. But do not destroy that immortal emblem of Humanity—the Declaration of American Independence.
~From the Chicago Press and Tribune, August 21, 1858.

Truth has become a fringe belief system.

Watched a video with Abby Martin and Dennis Kucinich and found what is stated is very truthful but is regarded as fringe thinking in current U.S. society.  How do you put your mind around this situation?  Makes you wonder who is running the show.  Certainly not the American public.  We no longer have a voice in what the leadership dictates as U.S. policy.  If I hear a politician state the American people want us to go to War in Syria, Iran, North Korea, etc it will be lie, pure and simple!  China and Russia could stop this mess by calling in their markers and make the U.S. pay it's debts post haste without additional funding but this will never happen.  Corporations run the show and it is all about profit.  It must be profitable for these countries or else China would stop buying our Treasury Notes and Russia could stop supplying gas and oil to Europe.  They support this madness indirectly and I find it hard to believe their leadership is oblivious to what is happening.



Here is a great explanation on why most Americans do not have a voice in policy and government.  Wealth distribution is so skewed it boggles the mind.  I would like to see a chart on global wealth similar to this.

Hi Ho Hi Ho it's off to WAR we go!

After watching the Presidents speech from a recent visit to the Middle East I can only ascertain that we will embark on another WAR with one or more countries that do not abide by a strategic partners whims.  Yes world, it will not be just shock and awe, it will be the WAR to end all wars.  Those in the know realize this and are doing their best to prevent this calamity but are marginalized just like most of the U.S. populace.  But hey, we have the finest weapons and leadership in the area that will make it living hell for all concerned.  Heaven forbid the chicken-hawks participate, since they have their yachts, bunkers, and years supply of porn and videos of torture to keep them amused in their cavernous dwellings. My, oh my, how we evolved over the past decade.  From somewhat human to gluttonous humanoids living off the belief that we are the superior species of this world.  Any intelligent and Divine entity will certainly not step in at this point because we humans would  never change our ways unless we are faced with conditions so miserable that we either finish off our species or die trying.  Thank you ruling elite for all the memories, you have certainly achieved the goal of using fear and oppressive tactics to quell any dissent and voices of reason to prevent such a catastrophe.

When will the show start?  After the opening credits of course!

Prophecies of Truth become reality

Many years ago I saw a film called Network.  It was way ahead of its time regarding how Network News currently works in real life.  Most people still get most of their opinions and ideas from a staged event called Television.  We need to heed what this author and playwright stated back in the 70's on a talk show.

More reasons to question why we face an energy shortage.

"Federal government" BUSTED for forcing American nuclear industry to become a ticking time bomb

You have been told the nuclear waste must go somewhere. You have been told it needed to be stored inside a mountain in the desert, where it will sit as a threat and menace to the world for millions of years. You have been told there is nothing we can do about it. But what if you have been told a lie? What if that "spent fuel" was not spent at all? What if a technology existed which allowed the same fuel to be used over and over, twenty times in fact, and expended so fully that fuel rods would be safe enough to handle directly straight out of the reactor? Think any "spent fuel pools" would be full? And even if this never happened,
What if foreign nations, (France was one) offered us hundreds of billions of dollars for our "spent fuel" only to have the U.S. Government refuse the offer for no reason at all? Would that not solve the problem of getting rid of it? And the final question, WHY would the Fed want so much nuclear material sitting around the country, only to become a menace? Could it be that we do not have a government, and instead have a band of usurpers in power who have intentionally set us up for a fall? After reading this report, I believe you will be inclined to think so.
This report consists of hard scientific fact, and even harder answers.

What a loss for humanity.  

Restoring Logic and Reason to our daily lives.

Could it be so simple to restore some level of sanity back into the human race.  For instance if we could grow one of natures most versatile plants like industrial hemp we could solve some of our major issues like eliminating plastics, using a new fuel source, more eco friendly clothing source other than cotten, etc.  Please take a look at this video and ask yourself why aren't countries using this plant in more products?
