It is here we take our stand!

WWW.THEAMERICANCHRONICLE.NET

We are told that we are at the end of history. Like last men looking at last things, we behold a system that is forever beyond us, beyond our touch, and beyond our power. The postmodern, system is so vastly superior to anything that came before it, that it is therefore permanent. It is run by no one, controlled by no one, and understood by no one. Corporations call the shots; but even the companies are controlled by unseen, omnipotent systemic global economic domination interests and forces that cannot be denied nor restrained.

If profits talk, we jump. If the "New World Order" version of "democracy" speaks, we leap. Money is our God, and in Him we trust. A "cultural communism" and "political correctness" looms over American society like a colossus. It has taken over both political parties and is enforced by many laws and government regulations. It almost totally dominates the most powerful elements in our culture, the NEWS media and entertainment industry. It's forces control both public and higher education as an indoctrinating tool. Anyone in the "Establishment" who departs from it's dictates swiftly ceases to be a member of the establishment. Those that would raise a voice of descent against it's precepts, are quickly debased, discredited as any kind of authority, determined unreliable and anathema.

The hour grows late. We must call this attack what it is - a deliberate effort to destroy all that made us the most powerful nation on the face of the earth in order to turn us into field workers for the coming global plantation.

The word, "democracy" has Greek roots meaning "rule of the people." But since when do people "rule" that money is their master? We work for money, but when do we feel, when do we live, and when do we contribute, and when do we make a difference? When our lives are ruled by corporations bigger than countries, do people rule? Are corporations democratic? And what about violence? The New World Order version of Democracy may rule the world one day, but people sure don't. This world is ruled by violence and oppression.

So here we take our stand. The Empire is so vast, so powerful, so pervasive, and so impenetrable, that we cry out for an outlet. Maybe we can't change the Empire but we can create new worlds, new outposts, outside and inside the Empire. We must build something lasting, something worthwhile, something with dignity, even as we live within the belly of the beast. We must not waste our breath and our youth and our old age on pointless protest and dying dreams, no, we must create something new. Create something together, each in our little household, each in our own niche.

We can, because there is something going on. We don't quite know what it is yet, but we can smell it; we can't see it, it doesn't seem completely real, yet we can feel it in our very bones. Protests against it, the more the Empire's minions whisper in our ears that "it's trivial, don't be deceived by something not part of the system;" the more our guts say no, we will not look away from it. Freedom is not just a movement, not just a protest, not just a rebellion; Free Press & Free Speech is freedom. Freedom to descent against powers and dominions larger than ourselves without retribution from the powers that be. But freedom doesn't rule the world.

What is freedom? Freedom is not having bigger armies, bigger guns, and bigger bank accounts. Freedom is not capital, is not capitalism, is not any "ism." Freedom is not science, is not business, is not the economy. Freedom is not Republican, nor Democrat, nor Eastern or Western. Freedom knows no directions, no borders, no walls. Money is good; but freedom does not bow, not even to money.

Each and every hand and heart, isolated and feeble though it may be, will contribute. No contribution will go unrewarded. No contribution will be wasted. When you write a an article, editorial or commentary on the freedom issues near and dear to your heart and speak out for freedom, you create something. Something that will not die, will not be traded for next month's profits, will not be laid waste by armies, nor ideologies, nor powers that be. Freedom may be small, but it is eternal.

No one can stop freedom. But the struggle will not be easy, and it will not be short. So let us here take our stand, one person at a time. No contribution is too large; no contribution is too small. Brick by brick, mortar by mortar, we build something that will stand the test of time.
Democracy? For whom? By whom? Of whom?

We take our stand here; no one is free unless that person has the freedom to speak.

Support innovative, grass roots, local groups, the Free Press and companies wherever possible. Distribute or copy this manifesto. Create your own Freehold in your own life. No matter how small, make a beginning. Make as many links between your freehold and other freeholds as possible. Don't buck the system; create a new system around its edges, nurture the links and the connections. Yes, we must eat. But we must also breathe.

Breathe the free air, of the new system.
