Today I pledge that I am a revolutionary. I will not stop until this government is radically changed. What it will look like, I do not know. But I know one thing: I have a revolution in my mind. I know I'm free, and no one will tell me otherwise. Whatever controls my destiny lies within me, not outside. I may do everything like a normal person, but I am not normal. For I am free. I know that one day I will control my destiny within the limits of another person's freedom. I do not believe in any particular ideology, I believe in the truth. The truth has set me free. I know I own me. I know that if there are enough people like me, the tyranny that's slowly being exposed will not win, but freedom will. I pledge that I will work until my death to ensure that my brothers and sisters will reach freedom. That they will know that it starts in them. It is no different than being on the underground railroad, this in fact is even worse. At least the slaves knew they weren't free. Many out there simply don't know. I know there is an illusion going, something that looks like freedom, but really isn't. I know I'm being bought off. I'm not free because of what I can buy, I'm free because of what I buy into and what I don't. And I don't buy into "freedom" that people who live in an overt dictatorship, like China, can have.
I am free, and nothing will stop me from making sure others are free. Even imprisonment or even death. In the jail cell, I'll be the freest man alive. And dying at the gallows, I will live forever.***
I tell the people who own us: I AM FREE! I am meek, not much really, but knowing I am free makes me more powerful than a nuclear bomb.
Resist at every turn. Do not let this die down. Force the issue. Do everything you can to get in THEIR face. Shut them down in your mind and you will shut them down in the most important place. But don't just shut them down in your mind. SHUT THEM DOWN EVERYWHERE! AT EVERY TURN! SHOW THEM WHO'S REALLY BOSS!
Torture is illegal, and gravely so, but the people who ordered it are walking free.
Forget about Julian Assange. ASSUME he raped two women.
Just pay attention to the fact that they're shutting Wikileaks down. DID WIKILEAKS RAPE ANYONE? Wikileaks is more than just a website, it's an idea. It's a principle. It's something you don't even have to "believe" in. It's something you can conclude is right. You know things now that you never would have, were it not for that idea, that principle. Do you really believe you shouldn't know about something that's going on in your name?
Do NOT let this evil empire tell you what's illegal, it has no moral standing any longer. IT HAS NO LAWS. It does WHAT IT PLEASES, TO WHOM IT PLEASES, WHEN AND WHERE IT PLEASES, AND TELLS ONLY WHOM IT PLEASES!
It only uses “law” as a plea to your innate wish to obey authority.
IT HAS NO AUTHORITY! It's a god damned lying piece of shit. Would you trust someone who tortures? Or someone who let's torturers off the hook? IT DID BOTH!
It is the oligarchy of business interests and government interests, mostly right wing, that uses things like the media to tell us lies. That's also the "they" I use. It's not just US v. THEM. It's the free versus this massive blob of tyranny that just keeps growing and growing. Do what you want to, but the blob is rolling down your street as you read this. Fuck, it's already in your house. It is your house. And it is you, unless you stand up, even if on the inside.
I can't promise you anything but a massive reduction in our quality of life. When empires fall, the people in the empire suffer. But this empire has gone too far. If we don't stop it now, it could be permanent. An unending, permanent tyranny, that controls the entire world outside your head. And don't think this shit won't eventually end up like 1984. It will be even worse. Eventually someone will figure out how to control what's going on inside your head, not just the outward expression of it.
There might be disorganized lawlessness. There will eventually arise organized crime. Look at Russia.
This empire, however, is the biggest organized crime outfit going in history. It plays nice with other organized crime schemes. Just look at China. We sure are getting along fine and dandy with them, as far as business is concerned. They're communists, the very same people we used to fight against in this empire. How could we make friends and do business with them, if we were really about "capitalism" and "freedom"? You might ease tensions, but to go as far as we have is beyond the pale. It's only happening because China is just an oligarchy, it has no ideology and it is not communist. It's a tyranny. Just like our nation. The two countries just have different ways of skinning the same cat. They force their people into shit with a police state, and we buy our people off with shit made in their police state.
It's all about power in the long run. That's all it is. We do their bidding because big brother bought us a really nice gift, and we have to be nice. It's not because we're making the free choice to do it, all of us are being coerced, BIG TIME, into it. I'm not an anarchist, quite honestly, I just said earlier I'm not into ideologies anymore. I'm into conclusions now. I'm saying this, because it's true.
You're free to quit your job, BUT will you have a place to live, car to drive, food to eat, clothes to wear, money in general to buy things? Nope. Not at all. You are a slave in this system, just a different kind of slavery. They don't whip us, no, they buy us off. When you go to the cash register and ring up, you're really paying with more than you see. You're paying with your freedom.
I'm no genius, I can't tell you all the answers, but I know one thing: YOU ARE THE ANSWER! You are what this world has been waiting for. I'm not some political leader, I will never hold political office, but I am a person who can figure basic shit out. Do you really think the answer to this problem you and I are having will not involve us somehow? How can we solve our problems without us? It would seem the most basic element of the solution. Obama said this to us all. "We are the people we've been waiting for..." or something to that effect. He was right. He may have been using that as political rhetoric, but those are words he's going to regret saying some day. If people really believe that, the government would be radically different than it is now. It would be serving the vast majority, not the vast minority. It wouldn't collude with corporations, it would regulate them. And corporations would stand up for freedom, seeing that they exist because of it. But they are neither free organizations any longer. That myth is gone.
Let the revolution begin within all of us tonight.
THE EMPIRE HAS FALLEN IN MY MIND, LET IT FALL IN YOUR'S TOO!
***The entire piece I've written is mainly about changing your mind, NOT being violent. You must realize, however, that this will not be all daisies. If this is as bad it looks, and it is, the people who own us will eventually be violent against the non-violent. You have to be willing to take a beating, if necessary. I'm about the biggest sissy out there, so if I can be willing, you can be too. Just think about all the people who've come before us and tried to change this empire. We owe it to them to stand up and be counted.
