The ebb and flow of
history and time have brought the cycle of liberty to a full circle in
the United States of America. From tyranny to revolution, from
revolution to liberty, from liberty to decadence, and from decadence
back into the chains of tyranny. We
came out of bondage into a time of prosperity and freedom that our
forefathers won at great sacrifice to themselves and their progeny. This
milk and honey of liberty has led generations
after our forefathers to lose the invaluable memory of the suffering and
hardship that absolute tyranny brings to the human soul. Also forgotten
is the hardship in breaking the bonds of this tyranny. We are now in a
time of waning liberty and rising tyranny. It is here and now.
We have long tolerated
- and have now begun to peacefully protest - legions of abuses and
usurpations that now lead us down a path to absolute despotism. We no
longer face one tyrant exercising arbitrary power from his throne 3,000
miles away as our forefathers did, but many tyrants here in our own country.
We face an expression of tyranny
that is unique to our time, yet wholly the same in its disregard for
human dignity and freedom.
We have voiced our grievances to this government time and
time again only to
be ignored, scorned, or rejected. As the iron grip of tyranny squeezes
our fellow countrymen, our situation has become undeniable to all but
those who wish to blind us from the truth.
The continuing abuses and usurpations
that we the American people have endured have occurred at the direction
and reign of both political parties. We now see that a long train of
abuses at the behest of a legion of elites who hold no allegiance to
this country or its founding documents evinces a design to reduce us to
absolute despotism. We hold no pleasure in coming to this realization;
It is with great pain that we present the crimes of the usurped United
States government.
For trampling the Constitution and
Bill of Rights of the United States of America with wanton disregard for
the liberties they protect.
For pursuing a discernable objective
of eroding the national sovereignty of the United States without the
consent of the people.
For committing - and conspiring to
commit - criminal acts, including the murder of our fellow countrymen,
to deceive the people into supporting foreign entanglements and wars
that have no benefit to our country nor our people, save a few elites.
For rendering our police into a
paramilitary force that threatens to undermine our God-given rights by
brute force.
For undermining, in many cases
denying, the people's right to vote by means of electronic voting
machines.
For violating the
Posse Comitatus act of 1878 and engaging in domestic military law
enforcement.
For illegal spying and surveillance of
citizens with no apparent justification, nor a warrant to allow its
lawful practice.
For the torture and illegal
imprisonment of both citizens and non-citizens in the ongoing war on
terror.
We, the free peoples of the United
States, appealing to our creator and our final judge, declare ourselves
free and independent states, and separate ourselves from the now usurped
United States government in order to escape the perilous tyranny that we
now face. We declare that as free and independent states, 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. In taking this bold step, we pledge as our forefathers
pledged to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.
