The Declaration of Independence
July 4, 1776
hen in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

THE DECLARATION OF DEPENDENCE
November 10, 1910
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to forgo the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them and to rely on the political bands which have connected them with one another, a respect to the elite of mankind should declare the causes which impel them to accept a policed society, and that any uprising on behalf of the people be considered by the powers that be an act of war on which they willingly relinquish their rights as human beings and adere to a regiment in total compliance. That any such truth amongst the people is an act of treason and will be held at the same severity as any act of terrorism, regardless of its intent, meaning, or involvement depsite age, gender, ethnicity, or denomination
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are to conform and give up any and all individuality, that they are relieved by their Creator of all unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness --- that to deny these rights, the people institute an all-powerful Government from which wealth and truth are derived with no consent among the governed to inquire such knowledge or pursue such wealth without the imposed taxation to all income and the consequence of indefinite imprisonment with or without bail or trial --- that whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of any end, it is the Right of the Regiment to alter or abolish society and to institute new Laws, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and Happiness. Unwarranted wars, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes, and accordinly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are meant to suffer, while evils are rampant, unavoidable and just and untouchable, then to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of falsehood in exchange for freedoms, and any abuse thereof, however just or incomprehencible, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to absolute Despotism, it is in no way their right or duty to throw off such Government or provide new guards for their future security. What is provided by the Regiment for its people is for their own good and safety and any outside or foreign intervention or aid is forbidden and punishable by death or the fullest extent of the law as deemed fit by the Regiment. The sufferance endured by the people is the necessity which constrains them from altering any current or former systems of Government. The history of the present America is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute chaotic society towards its governance. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to an open world.
The people have refused all Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good:
The people have forbidden the Regiment to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance based on its own agenda, and have attended to suspended operations in unruly mobs when Governance is neglected:
The people have refused for the passage of Laws for the accomodation of large districts of people, a right not granted to them and only given to tyrants, unless these people relinquish the right of Liberty and all forms of Legislature in order for these district camps to be built without their consent or knowing:
The people have called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing others into compliance with their measures against the Regiment:
The people have dissolved Representative Homes repeatedly for opposing the misuse of their Liberties against the invasions of the Regiment on the rights of the people:
The people have long refused to follow officials not elected by the common vote; whereby the Legislative powers, Annihilation long overdo, have returned to the Regiment for exercise without discretion; the state remaining in the meantime exposed to the arrogances of the uneducated and uninformed from without, and intimidation from within:
The people have prevented the population of the Regiment, for that purpose abstructing the Laws for Naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their immigration hither, and raising the conditions of new Policing of the Lands:
The people have obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing the Regiment's Assent of Laws for establishing unruly and unnecessary powers, a means of Law unjustified except by immoral code and excessive conduct:
The people have given the Regiment no choice but to enforce Judges' dependency of their salaries, in debt to the Regiment's Will alone, for the tenure of their offices:
The people have erected a multitude of resistance camps, and sent swarms of freedom fighters to harass members of the Regiment:
The people have left the Regiment no choice but to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power.
The people have combined with others to subject the Regiment to the Constitution, outdated and foreign, and unacknowledged by our Laws or Courts; giving their Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
The call of brothers-in-arms to return home in times of war:
For protecting the elite and powerful without means of trial, but by fine be punished for any crime committed against the inhabitants of these States:
For creating enemies from allies in all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes without consent of the people:
For depriving the people, in many cases, the benefit of Trial by Jury; especially for pretended defenses:
For transporting jobs overseas and leaving millions left without jobs:
For abolishing the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, establishing instead a government enlarging its boundaries so as to render it an example of an unfit but absolute rule of the people:
For abolishing Liberties in exchange for Laws of further unnecessary policing, unwarranted searches, wiretapping of personal lines, war cimes, misuse of all branches of government including but not limited to military and local police, unlawful gap between rich and poor and the laws un place to ensure the status quo, assassinations of figureheads deemed a threat to the Regiment and the implentation of hoaxes to ensure a coverup, abolishing fundamental Liberties in exchange for false security under false pretenses, the continued attack on national budget and taxes, the rigging of elections, buying of politions, the high placement of crooked politicians, the control of the media:
For suspending important Legislature in favor of declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever:
The people have abdicated the Regiment by declaring themselves independent, thus waging war against us; in numbers far suprassing ours, but without aid of weaponry or military strength:
The people have forgone the seas, coasts, cities, towns, their very lives by waging war on all property ruled by the Regiment:
The people believe the transporting of large Armies and mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, under the circumstances, is of Cruel and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages and totally unworthy of a justified cause of War on Terror on civilized nations:
The people beliee we use these armed citizens against their Will against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and Bretheren, or to fall themselves by their own Hands:
The people have excited domestic insurrections against us, and have endeavored to bring the inhabitants to the frontiers of war, savages whose appetite for warefare unquenched by the numerous battles fought far and wide over the centuries, destructs any distinguishable variation of innocence of age, sex, and condition thereof:
They have Petitioned for Redress, repeatedly answered by injury, to a Regiment whose acts of tyrannical oppression is justified in being the ruler of the people.
We have warned them time to time of such futile attempts to produce legislation, unwarrantable in its jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our righteousness and settlement here. We will not yield or appeal to their definition of justice or magnanimity, and we have bound them by the ties of disavowed allegiance to these usuprations, which are necessary in maintaining connection and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and reason, beyond which lies a class of consanguinity of Heirarchy, rank imposed and pledged to without choice by those beneath or lesser of. They must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity of denouncing their separation, as we hold them, as well as the rest of those who declare their independence, Enemes of War.
We therefore, the Regiment of the United States of America and soon the world, Assembled, appealing to the Courts of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by the Authority of the good Members of Heirarchy, solemly publish and declare that these people of the States are absolved of all property, freedoms, and rights and considered permanent residents in Containment Camps where their alleigance to the Regiment, and that all political connection between them and the aforementioned Governance is inescapable and now Law of the Land. To cherish Liberties and Independence is to Levy war or institute other acts which suggest punishment of upmost severity. Peace is no alliance in this contract, establishing a global Commerce of Slavery, supported by Alliances who may profit from such Providence in limitless numbers, especially who have invested in this day, in order to protect the New World Order, a mutual agreement shared with our Hopes, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.
I wrote THE DECLARATION OF DEPENDENCE to illustrate how our country has taken a dramatic turn over the past century. People are aware of this, but either too lazy to care, too stressed to worry about it, or they just dont believe in the truth anymore unless it comes from the media. It is true that Americans are waking up to the truth in an unprecedented movement, and now the Rockefeller, Bush, Rothschilds, etc. Factions and other self-placed figureheads' time has come to fall. However, they wont fall without a fight, or without there being mass casualities. In other words, they're brave enough to fund and keep wars going, but they're too chickenshit to be caught red handed.
