In Case You Forgot Someone Around Here DOES Write Something Original Now And Then..


The Laws I Live By.

In the course of human events, there will come a time, when one must break the polite and political bonds they live by. In these moments of uncertainty, and reflection, each of us as individuals, are placed in a terrible position.

A position that will define us as people, regardless of the bonds we break, or render moot.

All my life, I have heard you must render unto Cesar what is Cesar's. But the day has come where it has become clear that never once have I ever lived in ancient Rome, nor have I ever bowed to an emperor.

I have never met a Cesar nor has one ever ruled in my lifetime. And after having lived free, even if I were to meet one, I would rather die on my feet than give on my knees to someone who cares nothing about my way of life.

Living free, I have many times, as we all have, had fundamental moments of understanding the world that interacts with us. Freedom of thought inevitably takes the course of logic, and gravity. All of us must at some point, decide the truth of what we believe.

The truth I have come too is a startling one. A truth I never wanted to find.

As a citizen of the USA, I was always taught to abide by our laws, and to support them. Even as what my eyes saw conflicted with such lessons, I remained loyal to the ideals of this nation.

Until now.

I would like to know WHY I am expected to follow laws made by men who are corrupted and deadly beyond reason...? Why should I follow laws that were meant to be broken by some, while enslaving the rest of us...?

Let us take a very close look at the reality of what our nation has become.

If I were to, say, beat my wife, or my child. I would rightly go to jail. Yet my leaders tell me torture committed in my name is not only perfectly acceptable, but needed. And these same people commanding torture are still doing so with apparently no fear of jail.

To torture, not to torture, How in the hell was that ever even the QUESTION?

If I walk into a convenience store, and rob the clerk, I am going to be arrested, and can expect to go immediately to jail as soon as I am caught. Yet the ones who demand my jailing are the same ones whom have stolen trillions of dollars from my fellow citizens. The Medicaid trust fund has been thoroughly looted. On Sept. 10th 2001 Rumsfield announced that a full ONE FOURTH of the Pentagons ENTIRE BUDGET was MISSING. We were attacked less than 12 hours later, and the thief apparently is not their concern. It has never been explained or investigated.

Who would take such money you may ask..?? Who was authorized to touch it in the first place, is to me the more pressing question.

If I take $134 dollars from the clerk, I will be in jail for quite a while. Had I stole TRILLIONS I would have stolen beyond the ability of the law to do anything about it. Obviously.

If I were to walk outside now, and attack and kill a neighbor... I would even be put to death to avenge that death. Yet the leaders of this nation can openly lie to start illegal wars that kill tens of thousands, they can order up immoral death in a pen stroke, with no real fear they will ever be held to account. They become fat as PIGS from WAR PROFITS.

How is it, MY crime is SO GREAT to require my life, itself, to be the cost, yet the blood on THEIR hands is openly licked clean by faithful servants...? They are even allowed to PAY people to go forth and excuse their immorality.

If I were to be caught smoking a joint... ONE JOINT. If I were caught with that I am going to jail. If my brother is with me and HE is caught with a joint, I will still be arrested and charged with HIS crime.

And yet for decades now the United States Government has been the biggest drug runners and dealers on the planet. Not only does our government supply the routes and bring the product, they even go into gang affected areas and TEACH THEM how to process illegal drugs for street sales to junkies and kids.

From the heroin fields of Afghanistan to the dead children at Mena Arkansas, THESE ARE NOT ACTS DONE IN COMPLETE SECRECY. We KNOW our nation has been setting up little dictators all through the world with illegal drug and weapons money. Then they even have the nerve to call it spreading democracy.

Smoking ONE JOINT will be the end of my freedom yet had I staged a few bloody coups to take over drug territories, and taught gang members to cook up crack I would probably be sitting in the halls of power even now and unaffected.

YOU TELL ME WHERE IS JUSTICE...???

YOU TELL ME WHAT LAWS I AM TO LIVE BY...??

That, I suppose, is the whole point of my argument. The laws I have been told to live by have been shredded and tainted by those whom would make such laws and then openly break them. ALL of the rest of us must sit here, day in and day out and live by laws that have become an abomination on the ENTIRE EARTH. We are expected to follow SECRET LAWS.

We are supposed to teach our children not just the law, but right and wrong, itself. It has become either, or.

Either I can teach my children right and wrong, or I can teach them laws so riddled with exception morality itself is not even an option.

I can tell my children NOT to rob a grocery store because they would be thrown in jail for life, or I can teach them that stealing 300 million and thousands of people's retirements is not even an arrest-able offense. And even if they DO get arrested, stealing HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of DOLLARS will get you less than 7 years. One murder will make you a caged animal, yet 10,000 murders makes you a PATRIOT....???

Have you ever suddenly realized that what you love so dearly has become a monster...? After that realization, you can never look upon it again without contemplating the evil heart that beats within.

I would pray to God for deliverance from such evil, but it is not God who decides Presidents. God does not make Cesar's either. Both only exist as burdens in the minds of men. And women.

But there will come a time in each life when we must decide what burdens it is we are willing to tolerate and which must be cast down. Such a moment is now upon us.

All my life I have loved the Constitution of the United States. Only for such affection to be shattered as our leaders openly, even PROUDLY, violate its statutes and very spirit. Lady Liberty has always stood in my mind, beckoning my free heart. Yet to our leaders she is nothing more than a backdrop to reaffirm their violation of the law appears patriotic.

I am sick to death at what has come forth from the very bowls of our society, and crowned itself KING. To protect themselves from the laws they break, they simply make up new ones or just ASSUME the authority with no explanations.

The last Cesar is dead. And there is no such thing as King of the Americas. There will be no more rendering. The laws that were put in place for all have been destroyed by a handful.

And I will say this one time, very clearly. If I wind up in Gitmo for it, so be it.

If the ones who make the laws are not obligated to follow their own laws, than neither am I obligated. I am not duty bound to follow secretly made laws that will destroy my own nation.

If my president can not be expected to uphold the very duty of good citizenry, than neither should ANY of my countrymen be expected too.

This is not about revolution. It is about living by what I know to be right, true and LEGAL ... IN SPITE OF those who are destroying the very foundations of our system of JUSTICE.

I still believe in the Constitution of the United States of America. I will continue to live by it as a rule. But I can not at this moment in my life even pretend that I believe in those supposedly entrusted to uphold it.

They have destroyed my faith in a country that is my mother. They have turned her into a war zone whore, where morality is moot in the face of hungry children. Hungry children they ensure will STARVE with immoral laws.

And for all the rest of my life I will hate them for it.
