Happy Independence Day You Serfs!

A meaningless parchment

“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.”

That one line from the Declaration of Independence has more meaning today than ever.  The fourth branch of our government, the bureaucratic, now is the most powerful.  The EPA continues its avaricious power grab and now claims the right to regulate puddles.  The IRS routinely harasses its political opponents (apparently un-elected bureaucrats now have political enemies.)  The NSA collects our data. For our own good of course.

“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.”

Americans today consider themselves free.  We don’t have to produce travel papers.  Yet.  But I assume that is coming.  For our own good of course.  Too many Americans travelling for their silly bourgeois vacations leads to global warming.

Arrogant bureaucrats defend their exalted position when called to testify in front of congress.

“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.”

The EPA now has virtual unlimited power to destroy our way of life. The coal industry will be shut down.  For our own good of course.  Citizens unlucky enough to have a pond in their back yard will be fined.  Soon the EPA will be visiting our homes to check to see if we have our thermostats set at an unapproved temperature.

“Only a free and unrestrained press can effectively expose deception in government.” ~ Hugo Black

Only a free and unrestrained press can effectively expose deception.  Never in the history of America have we had a more corrupt government, unanswerable to the people.  And what does the press do?  I should call them the Palace Guard and not the press for that is what they are. The job the press is to protect and defend the Democratic administration.

With the press seemingly incapable of doing its job, with a corrupt and weak president, with a bureaucracy headstrong with power, our country is sliding towards becoming a divine right state, only instead of kings we will be ruled by the oligarchy.  For our own good of course.

Now it seems that Americans desire to be ruled by the oligarchy.  What is happening in America is the same as what happened in Israel when they asked for a king (1 Samuel 8:4-17)

Then all the ancients of Israel being assembled came to Samuel and they said to him:  Make us a king, to judge us, as all the nations have…….Then Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people that had desired a king of him, and said:  This will be the right of the king that shall reign over you:  He will take your sons, and put them in his chariots, and will make them his horsemen, and his running footmen to run before his chariots; and he will appoint of them to be his tribunes and centurions, and to plough his fields, and to reap his corn, and to make him arms and chariots.  Your daughters also he will take to make him ointments, and to be his cooks, and bakers.  And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your best oliveyards, and give them to his servants.  Moreover he will take the tenth of your corn, and the revenues of your vineyards, to give his eunuchs and servants.  Your servants also and handmaids, and your goodliest young men, and your asses he will take away, and put them to work.  Your flocks also he will tithe, and you shall be his servants.

The Constitution of the United States was the greatest instrument for human freedom ever devised by the hand of man.  Our founding fathers gave us a limited government.  Limited with a few specifically enumerated powers.  Both parties ignore the Constitution now as an embarrassment and a hindrance to consolidating their power.

None of this would be possible if the public didn’t allow it to happen.  But they have.  And they don’t seem to care.  As long as they continue to get their free stuff from the government Americans are content to live as serfs.

Americans like the ancient Israelis have chosen to be ruled by the new kings of the oligarchy.

I shall leave you with a quote by Thomas Jefferson:

 And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms…..What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.

Sadly America is too far gone to rise up against her oppressors.

Happy Independence Day serfs.
