I am currently unemployed after leaving my job of many years. The leaving was not of my doing – I was laid off, made redundant, services no longer required – which suited me as I had toyed with the idea of leaving myself. So as I look around I have some time to myself, which, overall, has been enjoyable as I have been able to do things that I have not been able to do in years… Hours of reading, watching movies, doing things here and there around the house… For once, it seems, time is a bit on my side. Other than that, my beliefs are generally the same so I will not change the rest of this “About Me” section.
~~~~~~~~
I am discouraged but not downtrodden by the events of this world. I do believe that we need to communicate what is really going on around us to one another and sometimes, unfortunately, it is painful to hear and learn. However, we need to open our eyes, our ears and our hearts and pay attention. People need to WAKE UP!
An upheaval or change is at hand and WE THE PEOPLE need to stand together if the change is successful with a meaningful and peaceful outcome. We need to remember what values, attitudes and concepts the United States was founded on. We need to reach out to our fellow brothers and sisters around the world and embrace them. We need to be human as much as we can humanly be and stop the madness.
Keep learning. Keep reading. Keep an open mind. Keep encouraging one another.
Have faith. Love each other. Believe in God.
Thank you for reading my short biography page and may God bless you, wherever you may be.
Great words, David. There are no neutrals and we can choose between two sides. So many fail to understand that we are the pilots of our destiny and that we have control on where our destiny leads. Thanks for stopping by!
All the events are happening for a reason, how we cope with them is our own choice, it is our freedom that we must bear to learn and understand.
I personally see a lot of discouragement from events world wide, but it doesn’t bring my spirits down as much as it did before. The reason is because I had a undeniable dream or maybe out of body experience as they call it, which allowed me to explore the truth between darkness and light itself.
Yes, we have to wake up, but we have to wake up ourselves, if we choose to cower in fear then let them. They have to learn how to stand up by themselves against fear and darkness itself then they will not survive the upcoming events on larger scale.
There are two sides, no neutrals, one choice for eternity.
There exists an undeniable presence of unquestionable universal existence as a whole that we can not yet comprehend to this point, soon it will be known because it will present itself to us, those who know and feel what to seek will find it.
Great blog! I added you to my blog roll.
Dwight – I hope you are happy that it is, at least, published here. 🙂

WE THE PEOPLE
OF THE UNTIED STATES OF AMERICA
PETITION WITH PLEADINGS
HENCE DECLARES THAT CONGRESS
IMPEACH TRY CONVICT SENTENCE FINE AND BANISH
WITHOUT IMPUNITY
CREATORS INITIATORS ENABLERS INSTIGATORS
AND PIRATING PROFITEERS
OF THE IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN
WARS
AND THE INCLUSIVE WAR ON TERROR
WE THE PEOPLE declare that when a government has ceased to protect the lives, liberty and property of WE THE PEOPLE, from whom its legitimate powers are derived, and for the advancement of whose happiness it was instituted; and so far from being a guarantee for the enjoyment of those inestimable and inalienable rights, becomes an instrument in the hands of evil rulers for their oppression: when the Constitution of our country, which they have sworn to support, no longer has a substantial existence, and the whole nature of our government has been forcible changed, without WE THE PEOPLES consent, from a federative republic, composed of sovereign states, to a consolidated central military despotism, in which every interest is disregarded by that of Federal Investigative and Enforcement Law and the present Executive Branch of the Federal Government and all that have become appointed and employees to duties both are the eternal enemies of civil liberty, the ever-ready minions of power, and the usual instrument of tyrants: when, long after the spirit of the constitution has departed, moderation is, at length, so far lost by those in power that even the semblance of freedom is removed, and the forms, themselves, of the constitution discontinued; and so far from their petitions and remonstrance’s being regarded, the agents who bear them are thrown into all sorts of terror filled restraints inclusive prisons of despair, and mercenary agents and armies are sent forth to force sovereign nations upon them at the point of the tools of war: when, in consequence of such acts of malfeasance and abdication on the part of our federal government, anarchy prevails, and civil society is dissolved into its orginal elements; in such a crisis, the first law of nature, the right of self-preservation, the inherent and inalienable right of WE THE PEOPLE to appeal to first principles and take their political affairs into their own hands in extreme case, enjoins it as a right towards themselves and a sacred obligation to their posterity to impeach, try, convict, fine, banish without impunity such federal government elected executives, employees, appointees, envoys and to cause to be constitutionally elicited worthy others to be empowered as substitutes in lieu of the next term of elected officials to resume elected powers, calculated to rescue WE THE PEOPLE from impending dangers, and to secure our future welfare and happiness.
I.
WE THE PEOPLE Petition CONGRESS as a body of lawmakers and we as individuals that is responsible and amenable for our acts to the public opinion of mankind. A statement of a part of our grievances is, therefore, submitted to an impartial world, in justification of the hazards but unavoidable step now taken of severing our political support and connection with the present Executive Branch of our Federal government and assuming an attitude of remorse for our CONGRESS allowed and empowered actions amiss among those mentioned nations of the earth.
II.
Our present Executive leadership [hereafter called it], by its illicit pre-planed war intentions, convinced WE THE PEOPLE and CONGRESS by deception and the horrors inflicted on our soil after 911 that war was imminent. Then induced the American population to pledge their faith to war efforts to restrain, restrict and rid our nation from more acts of terrorism. Thus in so doing WE THE PEOPLE should continue to enjoy our constitution liberty and democratic government to which we had been habituated in the land of our birth, the United States of America. In this expectation they have cruelly disappointed, and have acquiesced in their changes made in the government by it who having altered substantively the constitution of this county, and now offers us the cruel alternation either to abandon our people property and liberties, or submit to the most intolerable of all tyranny, the combined despotism of Federal Law Enforcement and Armies and the vile contemptible present Executive Branch of our government.
III.
It has sacrificed our people property and welfare toward war efforts in the countries of Iraq and Afghanistan by which our interests have been continually depressed through a jealous and partial course of legislation, and carried on at a far removed from saneness and alien to consent seat of our government, by a hostile Executive majority, and this, too notwithstanding we have petitioned in the humblest terms for CONGRESS to enforce the LAWS of impeachment in accordance with the provisions of the United State Constitution. And WE THE PEOPLE have presented in the media and Internet and to CONGRESS our pleas and without just cause, ALL have been contemptuously rejected.
IV.
It has failed and refused to secure absolute justice and has implemented such into the PATRIOT ACT, on a firm basis, the right of trial by jury, that palladium of civil liberty, and only safe guarantee for the life, liberty, and property of all peoples.
V.
It has failed to empower more and bring sober judgements and sound resolutions too our public system of education, although possessed of almost boundless resource [public domain] and, although it is an axiom, in political science, that unless a people are educated and enlightened, It is idle to expect the continuance of civil liberty or the capacity for self-government.
VI.
It has suffered the Federal Executive Investigative and Enforcers of law officials, and their employees and emissaries stationed among us and abroad, to exercise arbitrary acts of secrecy ambiguity oppression and tyranny; thus trampling upon the most sacred rights of the citizen and rendering the military superior to the civil power.
VII.
It has dissolved, by force of arms, the nations of Iraq and Afghanistan and obliged the indigenous contiguous people to flee for their lives and from their people and property and seats of governments; thus depriving them of their fundamental rights of life and political right of representation.
VIII.
It has demanded the surrender of a number of their citizens, and ordered military detachments to seize and carry them into prisons for trial; in contempt of the civil authorities, and in defiance of the laws of those nations. .
IX.
It has made piratical attacks upon our treasuries, by commissioning national and foreign desperadoes and mercenaries and Federal Law Enforcement authorizing them to lay claim to territories alien to our core needs. And to expend our national treasuries on the unprovoked wars and enormous buildup of long-term military installations in both Iraq and Afghanistan. And to seize property of Iraq and Afghanistan citizens in confiscation for the intended use of the energy barons.
X.
It denies us the right of worshiping the Almighty according to the dictates of our own religious zeal conscience and independent commitment to the LORD JESUS CHRIST, by the illicit use of our combined treasuries and the unconscionable treatment of our military men and women many dying in vain for the needless and endless wars, all calculated to promote the temporal financial interest of its servile alliances to the tyrannical barons of industry, energy and communications rather than the glory of the true and living God.
XI.
It has constrained us to take away our voice of dissent, which is essential to our defense, the rightful voice of freemen, and precursor to a formidable foe only to tyrannical governments.
XII.
It has invaded our homes and homeland with intent to lay waste our territory and elicit safety and security from our homes; and now has a large mercenary of armies at its disposal soon to be advancing to carry on against us and others wars on terror in selective extermination.
XIII.
It has, through its secret emissaries, incited the merciless savage, with, sophisticated weapons of war to massacre inhabitants in our offensive invading wars against hapless defenseless nations.
XIV.
It has been, during the entire time of our allegiance with it, made contemptible sport and victim of us with it successive laid claims as intolerable revolutionaries towards our constitution, and us and has continually exhibited every characteristic of a weak, corrupt, and tyrannical government.
XV.
These, and other grievances, were patiently borne by WE THE PEOPLE until they reached that point at which forbearance ceases to be a virtue. We then took up our combined voice again in defense of the national constitution. We appealed to our brethren for assistance. Our appeals thus far have been made in vain. Through months and even years have elapsed. No sympathetic response has yet been heard from CONGRESS. We are, therefore, forced to the melancholy conclusion that the present Executive Branch has acquiesced in the destruction of our liberty, and the substitution therefore of a military government–that they insist we are unfit to be free and incapable of self-government.
XVI.
The necessity of our mortal and immortal self-preservation, therefore, now decrees our eternal political plea for CONGRESS to impeach try convict fine and banish with out impunity enablers makers and profiteers of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and the inclusive war on terror
XVII.
It has suffered a disproportion of illicit terror on the estimated 750,000 fellow Christian believers in Iraq many tens of thousands have left their homes, land people and property fleeing from Iraq during our war efforts for fear of their lives. Thus ridding the commands of Jesus Christ harm nullifying nearly 2000 years of work in Iraq that was inspired by Apostle Paul.
WE THE PEOPLE, therefore, as the constitutional empowered delegates, with plenary powers, of the people of the United States of America, in solemn sober and resolute connectivity assemble, appealing to a candid world for the necessities of our conditions, do hereby resolve and declare that our political connection with the present Executive Branch of our nation has forever ended; and that WE THE PEOPLE do now constitute a free, sovereign, and independent VOICE, and are fully invested with all the rights and attributes which properly belong to independent people; and conscious of the rectitude of our intentions, we fearlessly and confidently commit the issue to the decision of the Supreme Arbiter of the destiny of each as individuals and WE THE PEOPLE.
Thus I_______________________________do solemnly swear by a formal oath and by the testament of my name that I am a conjoined contiguous solicitous one of WE THE PEOPLE. And too that extent I fully agree with this——the Collaborated Petition with Pleadings and Demand made on our CONGRESS.
Signed ___________________________________________________ date ____________
I share your pain and I’m too……so tired of talking to the walls.
I havent watched “Main Corporate TV” for more than 3 years and takes me to a point…..where I’m no longer in tune with the average “Joe” down the street.
But I dont care to know what stupid men are sure of.
The fact of the matter is that there’s no cure for stupidity…but your text gave me hope.
Take care
