As I was reading again
the Declaration of Independence
yesterday, it came to my mind that by
adapting a few words to the situation of
today,
there hasn’t changed too much since the
times of our funding fathers in our
civil obligations for the defines of our
freedom, our values and our Republic.
( I had the changes highlighted in
bold but formatting did not allow.)
A Re-Declaration of American
Independence
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 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, 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
United States of America; and
such is now the necessity which
constrains them to alter their
former Systems of Government.
The history of the present
Puppet President, Congress and
Judicial Branch of the NOW
Shadow Government is a history
of repeated injuries and
usurpations, all having in
direct object the establishment
of an absolute Tyranny over
these United States of America.
To prove this, let Facts be
submitted to a candid world.
They have refused their Assent
to Laws, the most wholesome and
necessary for the public good.
They have forbidden their
Governors to pass Laws of
immediate and pressing
importance, unless suspended in
their operation till his Assent
should be obtained; and when so
suspended, they have utterly
neglected to attend to them.
They have refused to pass other
Laws for the accommodation of
large districts of people,
unless those people would
relinquish the right of
Representation in the
Legislature, a right inestimable
to them and formidable to
tyrants only.
They have called together
legislative bodies at places
unusual, uncomfortable, and
distant from the depository of
their public Records, for the
sole purpose of fatiguing them
into compliance with their
measures.
They have bribed and threatened
Representative Houses repeatedly
to support with manly firmness
their invasions on the rights of
the people.
They have refused for a long
time, after such dissolutions,
to cause others to be elected;
whereby the Legislative powers,
incapable of Annihilation, have
returned to the People at large
for their exercise; the States
remaining in the mean time
exposed to all the dangers of
invasion from without, and
convulsions within.
They have endeavoured to prevent
the population of these United
States; for that purpose
obstructing the Laws for
Naturalization and immigration
of Foreigners; refusing to pass
others to protect our borders,
and raising the conditions of
protecting the interest of our
Nation.
They have obstructed the
Administration of Justice, by
refusing their Assent to Laws
for establishing Judiciary
powers.
They have made Judges dependent
on their Will alone, for the
tenure of their offices, and the
amount and payment of their
salaries.
They have erected a multitude of
New Offices, and sent hither
swarms of Officers to harrass
our people, and eat out their
substance.
They have kept among us, in
times of peace, Standing Armies
without the Consent of Us, the
People.
They have affected to render the
Military independent of and
superior to the Civil power.
They have combined with others
to subject us to a jurisdiction
foreign to our constitution, and
unacknowledged by our laws;
giving their Assent to their
Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of
armed troops and militarized
Police among us: For protecting
them, by a mock Trial, from
punishment for any Murders which
they should commit on the
Inhabitants of these United
States: For undermining and
jeopardizing our Trade with all
parts of the world through TPP
and TAP and other secretive and
unconstitutional treaties: For
imposing Taxes on us without our
Consent: For depriving us in
many cases, of the benefits of
Trial by Jury: For transporting
us into their Gulags under NDAA
and Patriot Act to be tried for
pretended offences For
abolishing the free System of
Constitutional Laws in a
neighbouring Province,
establishing therein an
Arbitrary government, and
enlarging its Boundaries so as
to render it at once an example
and fit instrument for
introducing the same absolute
rule into these United States of
America: For taking away our
Charters, abolishing our most
valuable Laws, and altering
fundamentally the Forms of our
Governments: For suspending our
own Legislatures, and declaring
themselves invested with power
to legislate for us in all cases
whatsoever.
They have abdicated Government
here, by declaring us out of
their Protection and waging War
against us.
They have plundered our seas,
ravaged our Coasts, burnt our
towns, and destroyed the lives
of our people with their ongoing
deceptive and coward false flag
operations.
They are at this time
transporting large Armies of
foreign Mercenaries to compleat
the works of death, desolation
and tyranny, already begun with
circumstances of Cruelty &
perfidy scarcely paralleled in
the most barbarous ages, and
totally unworthy the Head of a
civilized nation.
They have constrained our fellow
Citizens taken Captive on the
high Seas to bear Arms against
their Country, to become the
executioners of their friends
and Brethren, or to fall
themselves by their Hands.
They have excited domestic
insurrections amongst us, and
have endeavoured to bring on the
different races and colours of
our nation to seed hatred and
racism, whose known rule of
warfare, is an undistinguished
destruction of all ages, sexes
and conditions.
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 whose character
is thus marked by every act
which may define a Tyrant, is
unfit to be the ruler of a free
people.
Nor
have We been wanting in
attentions to these Globalist
Elites. We have warned them from
time to time of attempts by
their lawlessness 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 We The People,
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 United States of America,
solemnly publish and declare,
That these United States are,
and of Right ought to be Free
and Independent States; that
they are Absolved from all
Allegiance to the Globalist
Cabal and their deceptive tool
of oppression, the United
Nations , and that all political
connection between them and the
traitors of the New World Order,
is and ought to be totally
dissolved; and that as Free and
Independent People of the United
States of America, 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.
