Where no tyranny is tolerable

0 posted 2008-06-03 09:17 PM



Remember to value and cherish freedom.
Remember that liberty is always worth defending,
even should the price to pay for it be human Life itself.
This is a constant, harsh reality of Israeli life;
and the holocaust will never be forgotten or erased.
We have already paid
three times in less than a century
for the freedom we so casually enjoy,
through two world wars,
and savage attacks upon our own cities.
The business of protecting freedom
will never be done;
and the check we will have to pony up
will continue to require blood,
sweat, tears, and the unspeakable suffering of perhaps millions.

Remember that those who offer you security,
who offer you,
in exchange for your money or your vote,
sweet platitudes
who glibly proclaim they care for you,
who piously plead
they want to take all care from you
can only take your personal liberty away.
The cost of maintaining the way of life we share,
our freedom,
if it is not to be paid for with human blood, with human lives,
will be exchanged for a servitude
to an insufferable and despotic tyranny
the like of which the human race has not yet known,
who's cruelty and terror
will eclipse crimes against humanity
unequaled in the historical record,
servitude to an inhuman monster
that will end by destroying humanity itself.

And I am not having any of it.

jaime...don't know how you would process the info...but you might try reading some of the history of the federal reserve system...ezra pound had some interesting ideas on the subject...for some reason the federal reserve always comes to mind when i think about "servitude" on a grand scale.

john kennedy, favored a plan of issuing u.s. government currency, which was put into effect for awhile, replacing federal reserve currency created by private bankers and there are those that believe this plan cost him his life.
