Date: August 7, 2012
Reporting From: Oxford, England

Last Friday, US Congressman Dennis Kucinich introduced HR 6357, a bill which aims to 'prohibit the extrajudicial killing of United States citizens' by the federal government. In other words, in the Land of the Free, they need to pass a law to prevent the government from indiscriminately murdering its own citizens.

Now if this doesn't give one reason to pause and consider the distortions of liberty that have taken place in western civilization, I don't know what will. Think about it:

Does a free society send government hit men to eliminate anyone they perceive to be an enemy of the state?

Does a free society have hundreds of police agencies, each with the authority to deprive a man of his life, liberty and property in their sole discretion?

Does a free society have hundreds of thousands of laws, codes, rules, regulations, and policies which effectively criminalize nearly every aspect of one's existence?

Does a free society lead the world in prison population?

Does a free society hunt down criminals and terrorists by treating its citizens like criminals and terrorists?

Does a free society tell its citizens what foods they are / are not allowed to consume?

Does a free society steal your money at gunpoint to buy bombs that they drop by remote control on brown people in faraway lands?

Does a free society debase its currency and plunder the purchasing power of its citizens?

Does a free society saddle unborn generations with obligations they never signed up to bear?

Does a free society award near total control of the economy, the money supply, and everything tied to it, to a tiny elite few?

Does a free society brainwash its citizens into believing that they live in a free society? (at least the Chinese know they're not free...)

Ask yourself, are you really living in a free society? Are you free? If not, why not? What else could possibly be more important?

It takes courage to answer honestly. But once you realize the truth and begin to see the system for what it is, it can be a liberating and life-changing experience.

You'll find that there are places where you can live free in this world. There are ways to preserve your dignity, your privacy, your livelihood. You'll find that you can build great camaraderie and mutual trust with like-minded souls because you share the same values, not the same color passport.

My guess is that you're reading this because you've already started down the road to freedom. But you might feel alone... intellectually isolated in a sea of automatons.

You're not alone. More and more people are waking up every day and beginning to realize the incredible fraud that has been perpetrated against them. When enough of them figure it out, this system will be finished.

That's why I fundamentally believe that today is one of the most exciting times to be alive since the French Revolution. And we're just getting warmed up.

If you have any friends or loved ones who still exemplify that self-deluded, bombastic serf mentality, I encourage you to pass this along to them... and challenge them to answer honestly.

So how's everybody doing in that little head of yours ? ™

from Oxford UK ? ,lol he's not taking his meds again .

"You'll find that there are places where you can live free in this world. There are ways to preserve your dignity, your privacy, your livelihood.

name one =

or to be more precise one that has health care and all the trapings of this modern world , sure I could move to the rain forest ,
take up blow pipe lessons , trying to remember to blow not suck on the pipe , but how do you catch toad for the poison , ?
and how do you recharge the laptop , would I enjoy 20 ways to cook a monkey , the thought of no shower or aftershave dosn't apeal
either , but I guess without playboy magazine after a while the local unwashed hottie would begin to apeal , even the bone through the nose might even seem cute , given time ,
there is no such thing as a free lunch IMHO,
also not sure on the Oxford UK bit , it's a Uni town, fees $35,000 p.a. , certainly no free living there ,
unless he is on the social assistance payments then it's free living paid for by others less gifted ,( those working for a living )

French revo set France back a 100 years ,folk at the time didn't find it exciting , they carried on starving under a near comunist regime
and made France what it is today ,

"Does a free society saddle unborn generations with obligations they never signed up to bear?"

indeed a free society does just that , it's citizens are free to act responsibly and plan wisely for it's future generations,

a Free world ? well it's a darn sight freer than it's ever been ,
but good luck to those that want to turn the clock back to the good old days , personaly I don't fancy coming back from a hard days hunting dinner to find the wife and kids have been abducted by muscle bound neighbour, and a new neandathal living in my cave ,
and to top it all I couldn't phone a friend for advice ,

did this come from a Oxford Uni debate ?, which I doubt , everone would have walked out and gone down the pub,
at lest slack Alice the barmaid understands the principle of free at the point of supping up, and the bill arrives end of the month ,

just my thoughts on this whimsical thread ,
Upon this gifted age, in its dark hour,
Rains from the sky a meteoric shower
Of facts... they lie unquestioned, uncombined.
Wisdom enough to leech us of our ill
Is daily spun; but there exists no loom
To weave it into fabric.
— Edna St. Vincent Millay---

Actually the original writer does not live in the UK , once a week or so he writes with images from all around the world, commenting on the directions he see's, and the common sense issues that most do not.

Is it so difficult to see that if we want to help future generations stay free, thats free , without the cost of chains to a government entity, instead to humanity , that we are morally obligated to broaden our attitude toward what freedom really is.

So how's everybody doing in that little head of yours ? ™
