Common Sense II:Taking Back a Free America


3/16

The words of Thomas Paine opened a door that, up to that time, hadnever been opened. However, after a time, doors can get closed. Wesoon forget the grand ideas of freedom and settle for less. There comesa time when the needs of the many must outweigh the wants of thefew elite, when the corrupt must answer for the misuse of resourcesthat belong to all humans.

Over 230 years ago, we, as a people, set out to free each other fromtyranny, and the oppression of our English ancestors. We now nd

ourselves in the same boat in which we sailed from all those years ago.This time, however, there is no more land to steal, nor resources toplunder. Instead of a kings pride being the cause of mankindsconfusion, it is a need for more that is taking away the true meaning oflife. No matter what our personal beliefs are, we must take and use thetruth given to us in the Declaration of Independence: We hold thesetruths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they areendowed by their creator with certain unalienable Rights, that amongthese are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. All humans thatwalk on this planet are and should be completely equal. This meansthat no man or woman should be allowed to degrade any human in anyway. Life and all that it holds should cost nothing more than the workit takes to produce the things we need. We came together for our rst

American Revolution to set out with the ideals of true freedom anddemocracy. However, today we are still searching for these ideals as acountry and the time is now to honor what we started and have aRevolution of a New Generation to instill true freedom and democracyinto our society for all.

Government, even in its best

state, is but a necessary evil;

in its worst state, an intolerable

one.

There has never been a time in history where such a small numberof people own such a vast amount of this planet. The huge dividebetween rich and poor continues to grow larger, and those who seek tofurther the divide are pushing stronger for more psychological division,as well, to help distract us from realizing what were capable of as

citizens. Were bombarded everyday with fear tactics aimed atdistrusting our neighbors and the rest of the world. Our society hassectioned-off and plundered from coast-to-coast in this power strugglegame weve allowed our authority gures to impose on us all. With

nowhere to run and nothing to take, we as humans nd ourselves at an

impasse. Do we lay down and let our hard work only make others livesbetter? Do we stand and ght? Or, do we do what we have never done

before and stop playing out this very well-planned game?

If the choice be to lay down, then we will see nothing change. If thechoice is to stand and ght, in the end it is only us citizens that will be

hurt or defeated. If the choice be to stop playing the games, then wewould nd ourselves nally taking a step forward, a step into change -

and not the fake change that you always hear politicians go on about,

but real change that helps move humanity onward. In a time wherechange is always happening, we see how working together empowers usas a people. If we are divided, nothing gets done, but together we aretoo powerful to be stopped. The power structures throughout time haveknown and used this fact to control the herd of humanity, stirring thedirection of our thoughts like children and handing us our addictions sowe go like moths to the ame. Pleasure before stability, tomorrow

before today, mine before yours, greed before giving - some say theseare the actions of a modern society. Or... they are the actions of apeople that have never been shown another form of human interaction.

Society teaches us it is more life enhancing if we only focus on theself, but if we open up and realize our everyday situations, we nd that

selshness is killing us slowly with hands wrapped around our throats,2


5/16

hands covered in silk gloves so we almost enjoy our last breath beingtaken from our ailing, sun-dried bone bags. In American culture, we

are conditioned to believe that the personal quest of each citizen is todevelop their individuality. This is a noble venture but our perception ofthis individuality has been tainted from decades of indoctrination and

societal pressures. We now quest for individuality at all costs and whatwe end up seeking turns out not to be individuality but separation anddifference for the sake of difference. The Dalai Lama has said that ifwe only focus on our differences, then we will prevent ourselves frommaking the inspiring connections with other people that drive ourdevelopment, not only as individuals but as a whole society. Each oneof us is a beautiful, unique person, each with his or her own special

talents, skills and perceptive abilities. However, when we think of ourfellow humans who walk this planet with us, we should be thinkingof them in terms of how we are similar and connected. This doesntmean that we should strive to be the same as everyone else. It meansthat by celebrating what we share with each other, we see that we allhave the same feelings, fears, wishes, and dreams. We see that we areall searching for the same thing in life - fulllment. By understanding

and embracing that we all share each others souls as we walk throughthis life, we embrace each other as we walk along the way, helping andguiding each other as we seek fulllment.

We are made to believe that any attempt to try and better ourselvesand our society through our own means, and live out our own truehappiness, will always fail. We allow ourselves to be convinced that

there only exists certain pathways to success and freedom. In oursociety, it is common to hear the words: If I could only make so muchmoney, then I could be free. Or, As soon as I retire, then I can dowhatever I want. This shows a mindset that believes there is acertain path to success and happiness in life. In America today, thispath typically consists of graduating high school and college, thennding a full-time job in the workforce. And many times our career


6/16

choices come down to whatever job makes the most money, becausethat is what weve been conditioned to believe brings peace andhappiness. We are attracted to high-income career pursuits becauseweve built a society that revolves around money so immensely. Thismoney-driven society brings more torment than fulllment.

There is never a more potent time than now to take control over ourown lives and create a society that provides us fulllment rather than

torment. Everyday, we wake up to a vibrant, responsive world waiting tobring our dreams and wishes into creation. Unfortunately, years ofimbedded negativity inside our society have white-washed andnarrowed our perceptions of what it means to truly be free and what

is truly possible inside a free society.

Being citizens born in the free country of America, we come into

this world with the opportunity at true freedom, the freedom to createlives that fulll us, bring us joy and help us progress as conscious,

intelligent, vibrant living beings. However, from the moment we comeinto this world we also are being bombarded by perspectives and

interpretations about our society that paint a picture of discardeddreams and hopeless aspirations. Our whole childhood is lled withauthority gures telling us that life is hard and that we must nd a job

that pays a lot (no matter what hours we have to work) or we aregoing to fail in society and never make anything of our lives.Throughout growing up, money becomes the object of desire and socialstatus becomes the benchmark of success. What do these material

aspects tell us about life? Nothing. Having all the money in the world orbeing the most powerful person isnt going to bring any spiritualfulllment or joy from life.

Money is just meaningless material to which we give a lot of meaning.Its just a tool. The folly comes when the pursuit of money becomes theonly reason for living. This endless and painful pursuit of wealth and

4


7/16

power gets us nowhere in life and contributes to the divide happeningbetween all us humans. Life is abundant and responsive to the wishesof every individual. What else are we to assume about life other than itis anything less than abundant? If we believe that life is empty and thatit will never bring us hope and fulllment, then that is exactly what we

will get out of life. Trust in life and what you need will come to you.

Throughout Americas history, the quest for wealth and power hasdriven and forced us to complete tasks that are pointless at best.Now, joy is gone. Happiness is a joke. Love is only good if it gets ussomething. Our free government, of the people, is ran by rich fat catsthat have no idea of what it is to be a real American. They have never

worked, pouring sweat, hardly able to stand at the end of a long workday. They have no worries of paying their bills or putting food into themouths of their hungry children. These supposed leaders of the worldare guilty of crimes against humanity. They use us as livestock. Ownedis what we are. Our government has not done anything for us as apeople since the start of this country.

This country was founded by a bunch of rich land owners that didntwant to pay their taxes anymore. So, instead of making it about thoserich men with rich problems, they made the issue all of ours. They wrotetwo of the smartest documents ever produced so that all men andwomen would get on-board. Somewhere along the line our country lostsight of true freedom and democracy. As soon as our forefathers gotwhat they wanted, they imported more slaves than anywhere ever

before then and made a nice picture of victory and the birth ofsomething new - but it was all smoke-and-mirrors. The elite will onlyever take care of their own. They see the rest of us as below them. Theysee and use us as mere foot stools, something to help them becomemore while we become less - furthering the divide between us all. Thisis the manner in which this whole nation has been built - this nation,which is supposed to have been the greatest in the world.


8/16

Lets look at what has been done in the name of this nation.

We started by forcing an entire culture of people from their homes,thousands of miles from these shores, packed them into boats one oftop of the other so they could get as many of them here at once. Then,

we started stealing land, killing and lying to the people who reallyowned this place. We came here for freedom, expression and to believewhat we wanted. However, early Americans burned women guilty ofnothing and forced towns to their wills. We pushed on with no thoughtof the people who this land belonged to. We killed their women andchildren, burned their land and we called them savages. We killedanything that got in the way, including a whole herd of over 60 million

buffalo - food that could feed the entire world and we killed almostevery last one. Then, we ght a war to end slavery and we start killing

each other in such large numbers over nothing besides the rich wantingmore and not wanting to do the real work it takes to raise up oneself.These actions are not that of free men but are the actions of monstersand mass murderers. Anyone that would kill a woman and child formoney or power has no right to offer any leadership or ownership of

anything at all.

Under this ag, more innocent people have died for nothing more

than someone else making money off their dead boys. In matters oftruth and justice, there is no difference between large and smallproblems, for issues concerning the treatment of people are all thesame. Einsteins words are powerful here. He states all issues are the

same when it comes to dealing with humans. This truth should hit ushard because our own government leaves hundreds of thousands ofpeople to suffer and die because they have no food, medical care, noshelter and no education. This is what we send innocent young menand women to die for on foreign shores for nothing. The misguided callit freedom. The aware call it proteering off the misery of the humans

that do the real work. For real Americans, theres only work, there is6


9/16

no BMW, no home in the Hamptons. For most Americans, theres no

vacation or any form of break from the unending work. Forty to 60hours a week, 52 weeks a year - for what? What does all that work getus? What does that work do for the whole of humanity?

We wake up with the whole history of our society constantlyhanging in the backs of our minds. We watch as past generations haveattempted to bring mass change, only to see gloried interpretations of

failure. But every generation that has strived to better our world leaves

remnants of their passions with us today.

We watch as the rest of the world wakes up and lls the streets.

Revolution MUST happen. The tree of liberty must be refreshed fromtime-to-time and America seems to be the only one who didnt getthe memo. World War III is on all of our plates. It is a meal everyhuman on Earth will share. Please, never forget Einsteins words, Idont know what weapons World War III will be fought with, but WorldWar IV will be fought with sticks and stones. Every human on thisplanet knows that statement is lled with truth that should haunt us.

It should make us angry that the elite have more than they could everneed, but still nd a way to put us and all we love in deaths path. Theydont listen when we say, NO. This whole nation is ran without theconsent of its people. What do our taxes really go toward? We watchas our families die one-by-one and only because they were too poor forgood treatment. Millions go without health insurance, food andeducation, and have nowhere and no one with which to turn. Do you

think that matters to anyone in our government? Of course not. Themore poor people who die is less of an issue for them, so if anything,these rich people want us dead, they need us dead! The IRS is only thereto steal from our pockets. The FBI, CIA, NSA, FEMA, and all of the other

government agencies are here only to steal our freedoms and keep usin-line. The Federal Reserve and its crony banks are only here to enslaveus nancially and prot off the self-imposed debt system. Godzilla-


10/16

sized, conglomerate corporations and their lobbyists and politicalinterest groups are only here to divide, prot and conquer. And a few

select families, and their cohorts, control all these confusing groups inthis myriad of corruption, blinding us citizens to what we are capableof if we work together. We are a broken nation of broken people, lled

with broken promises built on lies and deceit.

We long for the day when this is not true, a day when our nation isnot broken but stronger and lled with more hope than hatred and

fear. A day when we are not a broken people but a people that walkwith one another and laugh, eat, share, and be one strong, unmovablecollective of people, instead of illogical people that work against each

other. A day when all of the promises of we the people are kept andupheld. A day where life and liberty are given instead of stolen. A daywhere we break down the foundation that was built on lies and deceit.And on this day, we will rebuild a new foundation - one that is built ontruth, honesty and respect for all. A day where instead of hating, welove all that is for no other reason than to love. Hatred paralyzes life;love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Love can free

us. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. knew this and saw it clearer than anyonehad before him. He had a true dream of all of us living together and ourgovernment killed him for his dream. How can you have freedom whenyou kill the real leaders?

All the misinformation given to us by mainstream media entertain-ment is contributing to the apathy of our country and blinding us to

our true potential as a group. We feel empty because we have nocreative and spiritual fulllment from life. We have no fulllmentbecause our attention is focused on accomplishing things that have nobenet to us and only serve to maintain the status quo. Why do you

think reality TV is the in thing, now? We arent satised with the

reality we nd ourselves in every day, so we strive to escape this

reality through mindless entertainment. We need to ask ourselves why8


11/16

we arent happy with this reality. Why is it that some of us feel like itsworthless just to get out of bed in the morning? Why is it that ourprisons are on a perpetual overload? Why is it that we are still involvedin unjust wars and foreign occupations? Why is the divorce rate at anall-time high? Why is the average work week increasing while

compensation has barely inched forward? WHY ARENT WE HAPPY?!!Happiness is what lifes about. If we arent happy, what are we goingto do about it? Are we going to strive to make our lives and our worldbetter for us all, or are we going to sit back and let apathy control ourdecisions until we nd ourselves lying on our death beds completely

unsatised with the lives weve led? Apathy is the worse disease that

aficts the people of this country. But in all reality, with the prison,

pharmaceutical and military industries exponentially growing, and lesspeople trusting in their government and fellow citizens - why shouldntpeople be apathetic?

How are we expected to thrive or even enjoy life when were thrustinto a life of domination? From the moment were born, were throwninto a world that is constantly classifying and judging humanity and

the ways in which we live. Everyday, we have the chance to be remindedof how were not good enough or how afraid we should be of ourneighbors. But if we shift our perspective, we see that each day also

presents the chance to witness how incredible it is that we all have thechance to live in this world and create and celebrate together. Every daypresents opportunities to create better lives for ourselves.

Great truth is present for us at all times and we can choose toacknowledge the truth or not, to acknowledge the great love that existsin everything. Understand the choices we make. Understand the goal isuniversal - its about the whole of humanity extending itself into a newlevel of existence, a newfound expression inside us all. The key is love.Love opens the doors to new levels of being and understanding, andultimately, inside our interactions. If were willing to work hard and do


12/16

whatever must be done, than we will achieve - absolutely. We will bendtime and reality until the goal is achieved. People may call them dreamsbut its scientic fact dreams are just as real as what we experience in

our day-to-day world. Dreams are no different than reality, except forthe associations we make to our experiences. We tend to put dreams

into a certain category separate from the real world. Its nice to havethis dream but I have to work a job and pay bills. Debt is nothing.This is not to say that it is healthy to accrue debt irresponsibly, butunderstanding comes in knowing that nances do not hold a persons

spirit down from achieving anything the spirit sets as a goal. We arealready free to do whatever we please. We are free to make our liveswhatever we want.

The bottom line comes down to that we are free citizens living in afree land and we should not be stopped from doing anything with ourlives as long as we arent bringing any harm to another person or thing.We are coming to a crossroads in our civilization. One path continues ustowards an outcome of torment, tyranny and probable destruction if wecontinue focusing our energies on materialistic and isolationist goals.

The other path leads to peace and prosperity from our collectivedecision to come together and unite our energies for the common goodof mankind.

When we wake up in the morning, what drives us to get out of bed?Is it because we are excited to greet the new day with love, or are weonly motivated by the fact that we need to get to work on time? Where

is our inspiration? Life should be about just that: life. We should expectthat each day is waiting for us to live it to the fullest. Celebrate life, itis why were here.

This is our land, our home. This is our place to create our own freelives of beauty. And no person, no government, no agency could evertell us otherwise. Now is a great time to show the world, and ourselves,

10


13/16

this important fact. In order to live freedom, one must exist in freedom,one must be freedom. Words are meaningless unless they are backed upby conscious action. Now is the time to put our conscious action intomotion and create a future that is worth seeking.

Now is the time to stand up for what we truly care about: CONTROLOVER OUR OWN LIVES. Our lives will not be dictated by any outsideauthority. Our future will not be determined by a man behind a launchbutton, or a CEO behind a desk.

FREEDOM IS NOW AND FREEDOMWILL ALWAYS PREVAIL.

Please, copy and spread this booklet and message of revolution to all

your family, friends, co-workers, and people you pass by on the street.Working together, we can create a great future.
