Perception, Reality, and Tyranny.

It has been said that "reality" is based in perception... just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder... so is "reality". The difficulty/devil is

 in the details. 

While digging through history books, congressional records, and the writings of wise people who have come before us... it becomes blatantly clear that our modern version of history; its events, condition of life, principles of human interaction, and governance are widely misunderstood. Of course there are grains of truth in what we are force fed that works to give it all some validity... and each person will view this "information" and form their idea of "reality" often around what fits their expectations and desires but we must realize... in the end there can't actually be a multitude of realities... only perceptions, and much of what is factual is often left behind. 

There is a factual reality... it is however obscured by misinformation, half truths, the spin of agendas, and the individual perception of those who digest it... belief once realized becomes a prison of the mind... it is unfortunately the catalyst for the perpetuation of obfuscation and spreads like a plague through the minds of individuals with similar perception.

Once... I was there and few spoke louder and spread a twisted perception more than I.  Yet... somehow I continued to become more and more unsettled as things just didn't add up. It is a mind wrenching and heart breaking experience to challenge ones own beliefs... yet I was compelled by my desire for knowledge and to understand why things are the way they are when nearly everything I had been taught didn't "jive" with our current condition. It is a journey many people are not willing to take and that is understandable... picking the lock on ones mind and getting past the comfort in denial are hard enough but the difficulty and pain associated with such an undertaking can be so great as to turn one from that path once the journey has begun... and attempt to rest again in the comfort of previously held belief... I know, because that is exactly what happened to me, yet that respite was brief because once the door of the mind is opened... there isn't any intellectually honest way to turn back. The "tickle" in my mind ate away at me as I attempted to live with my preconceived ideas while holding knowledge that more than challenged that belief... it shattered it... I had to move forward.

There is so much misinformation and literal "crap" out there that it is difficult to sift through it all, I had to find a way to separate the chaff from the grain; finally I decided that the "details" were the problem as so much of it is impossible to verify... thus I began at the beginning... and found a solid foundation to start from in the principles of Natural Law as that was the POWER behind the Declaration of Independence and IS the reason, if we realize it or not, that we recognize our Individual Natural Rights. Once I had that firm understanding I began to look at the current conflicts with it as those are easier to verify, I looked for the actions that precipitated those conflicts to find the "grain of truth" as it is easy for words to lie... actions are much more apt to lead in the direction of facts but in instances when that doesn't hold true... I have found it to be very important to look to motivating factors, but in the end, I often let those questions go as simply mysteries I cannot solve. 

To eyes willing to see... it is glaringly obvious that our country and indeed the world we live in is not congruent with Natural Law or with what we have been led to believe. To be honest... in my opinion the first is much more important; how we find ourselves in this position and the falsehoods we have been led to believe are not nearly as important as the condition of respect for our Natural Rights, a perception rooted in Natural Law, and a burning desire to correct the condition of how we experience and enjoy our inherent Natural Rights to Life and Liberty. The rest simply tends to get in the way and works with great effectiveness to keep us at each others throats and divided when it is vitally important for us to be united... to hell with our differences and beliefs rooted in perception... let us recognize that those are "personal" and thus should not be forced upon another... instead we should be united for ourselves and the good of mankind, just as those who came before and sacrificed so much, and demand that once again Natural Law be recognized and that our Individual Natural Rights be respected as "untouchable"; inherent and unalienable. Declare our Independence from Tyranny once again and as many times as we must. 

We need not live with the idea that we must choose between governments, countries, or varying degrees of tyranny... no... instead let us understand that our Individual Natural Rights are already ours... inherent... unalienable... and that no country... no government... no man or group of them... has the RIGHT to infringe upon them. When they do... it is a crime, not against some arbitrary "man-made" law, but against Natural Law, the God of nature, and an act of war against humanity. 

Can Ron Paul Win?

From RonPaul.com

That seems to be a question many people are asking, perhaps they would be better off asking "why not?". As the Champion of the Constitution his congressional career has been principled and controversial; he has challenged a childish and unrestrained federal government on issues ranging from war and economics to individual natural rights. 


It shouldn't come as a surprise that the willful political machine is against him; threatened by his polarizing voice of discipline and reason. Thus, in a fight to continue unchecked its corrupt and lawless ways, the propaganda media machine has been cranked up; spinning off questions, pitting one interest group after another against Dr. Paul, hoping to stall his campaign for a return to Constitutional governance.


Will he be supported? The "what ifs" are stifling common sense and too many are falling into the trap of this political game.


For instance, if the evangelical base had to choose between Obama or Ron... who do you think they'd pick? 


As for the primaries... that is another story; it's puzzling how those who profess to be "Christ Like" seem to have a "boner" for war and persecution; perhaps a revival of the Crusades and Witch Hunts would be a big selling point, (find the nearest whore slapping war pimp and sign him up... he'd get lots of lustful support). 


Joking aside, the militant faction of that group will most likely side with a neo-con who will be just as bad as Obushma... doing nothing but growing government, making war, and spiraling up the Debt that goes with those things... all the while finding ways to violate even their  God given rights. The good news is, no single Republican special interest voting block holds the absolute key to a primary win; they might make it more difficult, but as more and more people come to grips with the condition of our nation and realize that a return to the Constitution is the only fix... they will, along with many from other affiliations including Democrats, join with Ron Paul; even switching parties to vote in the primary if necessary.

Some are surprised by his stand against the "War on Drugs", he is after all a doctor.  Yet his position is against prohibition, not pro-drugs. He does not believe the federal government is constitutionally allowed to prohibit people from consuming what they please, and he is correct. For those who disagree, take note, that principle also applies to the types of food, drink, medication, natural remedies, and anything else one can imagine consuming.  Thus, it would be wise to reconsider a stand giving government the unconstitutional ability to prohibit consumption... it is apparent where that path leads.

Another question is Ron's position on Israel, yet he isn't against Israel, rather he wants them to be able to do as they please without feeling like they have to go through our government first... and they shouldn't, they are a nation of their own and don't need to be asking Uncle Sam if they can go out and play. True, He is against foreign aid.... and for good reason, one... we simply cannot afford it; we are bankrupt and borrowing ourselves into oblivion. I am confused by peoples lack of intellectual honesty on this point... as if they cannot personally send money or aid if our government does not. Second, foreign aid is what creates that "Uncle Sam", "Daddy USA" mentality and no matter if people want to admit it or not... it is seen as meddling by much of the rest of the world.  

If one takes the time to dig into news sources other than ours here in the states and talk to people from other countries... they'll find that although some look up to us for varied reasons, many others see us as a tyrannical and dangerous nation; trigger happy and always manipulating the rest of the world to suit ourselves; a greedy, hungry, beast... building empire and to hell with anyone who stands in the way of us getting what we want. No matter what one thinks... that does not make for a good neighbor... or a peaceful nation.

Many years ago we stopped being the nation that promoted the principles of a lawful Republic and instead became lawless. Sure we have new laws everyday... but funny how those break the Supreme Law of the Land and many people here either don't get it... or don't care as long as their interest is served; most of which infringe on someones individual rights... but that's OK... as long as it doesn't affect the "ME"... right? Where is the principle in that? That is just selfishness pared with a crass disregard for others. No matter what evangelicals, corporatists, warmongering neo-cons, green socialists, or communists think... it is fundamentally wrong to impose ones personal views on another, especially with the force and threat of law... that is the definition of tyranny. We might as well put up a new sign on Ellis Island... "Despots and Bullies of the World Welcome!" because that is what we have become; a nation of people dispensing and living under tyranny. No longer the nation of liberty and a people who cherish it, but rather a nation along with many of its people... bent on controlling the lives of others to suit their sensibilities and personal interests. 

Readers should know that I am not a Federalist but rather an Anti-Federalist, however, we are currently stuck with the system of government that we have, and if we are to fix the majority of the ills of this nation we must follow the Constitution... which is our supreme law, if people don't like it... let them petition for a Constitutional amendment... but breaking our own supreme law does make us lawless. Ron Paul desires a return to following that law... simple as that.

It doesn't do any good to play the game of politics... the majority of those presented as potential leaders are, with a few points of difference, the same... they will all break or have broken their oath of office and will continue to grow government, our debit, and infringe upon our natural rights. Take off the "team glasses" long enough and one begins to see that beyond all the rhetoric and promises, the end result from our politicians, Democrat or Republican... are the same.

It is time to break free of the Left vs. Right lie we have been taught and that is perpetuated through the media. The real question is should people be free or controlled? Don't vote according to party, promises, or to pick the winning candidate... that is all a game. Vote based upon the principles that this country was forged from; natural law; powerfully announced and utilized as the basis for independence in the Declaration, and protected  by the Constitution.



The point of having a Constitutional Republic... was to protect the individual natural rights of each person by restraining the size and scope of the federal government and forcing each state to adopt the same basic language contained in the Bill of Rights into their individual State Constitutions. Not widely considered or perhaps even realized, but the "people" of this nation have abandoned these principles and the supreme law which protects them... and we wonder how we wound up in such a mess. 

If the course of our nation is not corrected very soon, we will necessarily find ourselves living in a nation that imploded due to disregard for its own law and a devotion to special interests. No one should be fooled by the spin of happy, and righteous faces attempting to sell them by appealing to something that strikes a personal cord... the politicians and media are salesmen... thus a viewer must be strong and not be swayed, always questioning the motivations, and comparing what is sold to the supreme law of the land and Natural Law.


To sum it up... Ron Paul is currently the only candidate that offers us the option of a return to lawful governance. His voting record proves it... and no one else can make the same claim... or even tries to. All the others serve some special interest, and that isn't a recipe for success but rather continued disaster. People are realizing this and if they quit playing the game, which many are, Ron Paul can win.
