Welcome to The Daily Wrap Up, a concise show dedicated to bringing you the most relevant independent news, as we see it, from the last 24 hours (7/4/18).
Unquestioningly supporting the actions of your government, is not patriotism, that is subservience. And saying so does not dishonor all the men and women, who were deceived by the state, as many of them truly believed their actions to be in the service of good, even though more than you might believe come home with quit a different perspective.
Patriotism, is being critical of your government with every decision they make, regardless of the political affiliation. That was what this country was founded on, and that which has been stolen from us with years of subtle (and not so subtle) conditioning. Our duty is to our fellow Americans, not the government officials who we are supposed to put in place -- yet that too has been stolen from us.
To say it is un-American to question your government is to say we are here to serve it, and not the other way around. And I know without a doubt that is how they see us, but certainly, that cannot be the way you see it, especially on a day that celebrates your perceived independence. Yet this is what we are told as today’s uber-Americans shout us down for questioning foreign wars and domestic policy alike. We must shake free from this Statist mentality that turns us upon ourselves.
I am in no way advocating for any kind of violence. I am in no way advocating for some hyped-up civil war that only further divides the people. I do however seek a revolution; but one of a different kind.
Nothing founded on violence has ever had its roots in a just society. Many certainly tried with this country, but as I have pointed out many times, there were men in that very room, as the Declaration of Independence was signed, who had designs to create exactly the type of overreaching, all-controlling federal government that we see today.
So I propose we seek to begin with something different, something enlightened, a true revolution of the mind. As I have said many times in the past, violence and danger, will be ever-present, that is inevitable, no government presence, authoritarian or otherwise, can ever remove that danger from our lives. It can only replace it with one of its own creation; but as Gandhi said:
"If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change"
And I truly believe that. So take that into the world today, and change it.
Please take the information discussed in the video below and research for yourself, and come to your own conclusions. As anyone telling you what the truth is, or claiming they have the answer, is likely leading you astray, for one reason or another. Stay Vigilant.
