7 Things To Show That You Are Not Living In The Land of the FreeBy Paul A. Philips Taking the case of America as an example, many American citizens have no idea about the nature of their Washington, D.C Judas-despotic leaders and how they are covertly screwing them all over. How they are nothing more than henchmen for the ruling elites corporate/banker oppressive control system In reflection of this here are just 7 things to show that youre not living in the land of the free and what needs to be done. The 40-hour working week is automatically accepted. Economically speaking, you may be living comfortably, but your request for fewer hours to pursue things outside of the workplace would be declined. In other words youre given an ultimatum: Do a 40-hour working week or you wont get any work. Following on from 2, there are indeed many people having to do the 40-hour working week plus overtime on a skimpy hourly rate just to survive: Wage slavery refers to those having to be completely dependent on their next paycheck to make ends meet. Debt, consumerism and inflation are major factors linked to wage slavery (economic slavery) and automatically accepting the 40-hour working week. Increasing in number, these days, there are so many authoritarian ordinances, rules and regulations restricting freedom. Theres very little you can do without permission from your control freak government. Here are just some examples. * Do you own a property? If so, then having to forever pay property taxes brings into question the idea of ownership. For example, having lived there for some 20 years, you may well have paid the same money in property taxes as the cost of your home. * For home renovations, you have to let your government know what youll be doing to get their permission. Then, on completion, you must make sure that youve complied with their regulations. * If you want to sell your homemade produce, no matter how small the cost, youll have to pay for a license from the government. * Do you want to grow your own vegetables for supplementing your food budget? If so, then be careful. You could be criminally charged, then fined. One man was fined for growing vegetables that prevented people from seeing grass! If you go fishing for supplementing your food budget then youll need to have a license. * Your car is one of the many eternal taxes you will have to pay to your government. Indeed, its as if the only thing that isnt taxed is the air you breathe, but who knows, maybe one day therell be a levy on that! Consider the shed loads of money the government makes from exponentially increasing ordinances, rules, regulations and taxes. Having not paid the necessary fees or taxes, or not obtained a license or permit from the mafia government you could find yourself in big trouble, not matter how petty or small the non-compliance. Like, for instance, the children outlawed for selling lemonade at a charity. Then theres the case of the woman who had her home seized for missing a $6.30 interest charge! Mass surveillance is yet another way in which your freedom has been sabotaged by the government and related departments. In spite of the increasing surveillance and a more and more militarized police state, crime rates have not decreased. Indeed, a number of us know that surveillance cameras here, there and everywhere go way beyond the purpose of crime detection. So do drone hunters monitoring applications such as your mobile phone activity, spying electronic mosquitoes, body micro-chipping, facial recognition and car number plate detection technology There are plans for a black box to be installed in every car to monitor drivers. Then theres a plan for a biometric DNA database on all citizens These are just some of the surveillance technologies for a Big Brother control-obsessed government. The governments tyranny of free speech suppression just keeps on growing, everywhere. So-called intolerable speech categorizations such as a trigger-1, micro-aggression or red light is encouraged by authorities to be reported, hence, the encouraging of a snitch community. Weasel-brained political correctness, word prohibitions, social media censorship all contribute to limiting free speech. When free speech is limited it leads to a nation of citizens who are: Over Christmas, like a thief in the night, Obama sneakily passed a bill called the Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act. It gives the government the powers to label truthful and accurate information that they dont want you to know about, such as that from alternative media sources, as propaganda or fake news. In effect, this new law will be used to block free speech, threatening the existence of alternative/independent media or any other information source deemed anti-government. This globalist propaganda and the censoring of free speech in America must be stopped by: This act is a desperate attempt (one of many) to stop the rising mass awakening of the people and the consequences of them finding out the truth. But the more governmental tyranny, the more the people wake up Following on from 5, as a dissenter, not having the same opinion as the establishment or the masses, you may find yourself demonized for your views or actions, which could even lead you into dire straits through being outlawed. Thus demonizing dissension, especially because an anti-government stance is becoming less tolerated. Criminalizing goodwill gestures is part of the war on humanity and your freedom of self-expression. Here are just several examples. Another Good Samaritan criminalized for his compassion, trying to make a difference to the plight of the homeless, was Jay Hamberger. Because of helping the homeless for some 27 years in Houston he became an outlaw. Further, it is now illegal to be homeless. How do authorities expect these impoverished people to pay the fines?? Even their meager possessions: bedclothes, clothes, tents, papers, medications are confiscated. How could any policeman confiscating these possessions not consider this action to be inhumane? Will these outrageous prohibitions find their way across the entire country? According to researcher Michael Snyder they will as part of the war on the homeless. *Not too long ago an awful flooding occurred in Louisiana. Because of a delayed response from the government-backed rescue team, locals decided to take the situation into their own hands. However, before they could deal with the rising waters and rescue their neighbors from the terrible consequences of the flooding, government officials blocked off the area with police barriers because the rescuers didnt have the demanded permits. Aw cmon! *Even the smallest acts of goodwill now demand that laws and regulations be followed: Do you want to exchange your home-grown goodies with someone else? You could be outlawed if you havent paid your government for a permit and taxes on the exchange. That concludes just 7 of many things to show that youre not living in the land of the free. Clearly, the government wants complete control. They want you to be dependent on them for everything. However, the more control freak they become the more enforced prohibitions, restrictions, taxes, police violence, sophisticated surveillance and tracking technologies etc. the more the people will object. Having reached breaking point, thepeople will then decide theyve had enough, while realizing that their government is (and has been) obsolete. The government knows this and is desperately afraid of losing its grip on an overwhelming number of awakened citizens ready to take action. More and more people are realizing the illegitimacy of Big Government. The truth is we dont have ANY contract with them. We dont need their permission to do anything. Taking thecase of taxes,taxation is theft (see video). The solution is to stop giving your power away. Stop cooperating with the control system. We are the imagination of ourselves and anythings possible. So, lets create a new paradigm experience, a new humanity out of what is possible. You can read more from Paul A. Philips at his site NewParadigm.ws Top Image Illustration by Sarah Eberspacher | Image courtesy CORBIS / The Week What needs to be done? SECEDESECEDESECEDE!!! And then ?! Those who wield power know that the masses can be run on the fantasy of something for nothing, and they are more than willing to continuously sell people the fantasy that they are getting something when in fact they are not. Most people that I know wished they could get a forty hour a work week. Many of the youthful folks I talk to are living at home and work more than two part-time jobs. I wish we could do away with the third party moderators who keep time censoring my comments proving to me that I dont have freedom of speech on this website. I am tired of the alternative viewpoint that the faux conservative approach to righting the wrongs of our criminal fascist non-system is the way to proceed in an arena that has already seen the SHTF (the alt view is it is still about to happen). We need to awaken to the mindset of the alien/military/industrial/complex that is not your friend or protector. The Republicans and Democrats are in the hands of the American/German billionaires who run the central banking non-system of the planet and are the gatekeepers of the Reptilian Overlords. .American/German billionaires who run the central banking non-system LOL Those are not American nor are they German. You dont know your enemy ! If a man knows himself and knows his opponent, he need not fear a hundred battles. If he knows himself but not his opponent, for every victory he will suffer a defeat. If he knows neither himself nor his opponent, he will suffer defeat in every battle. Sun Tzu, a Chinese General and philosopher in a small treatsie entitled The Art of War about 500 B.C. You cannot just abolish the income tax, there will be total chaos. You have to start with a consumption tax, then reduce on an other year basis, to almost nothing. Government must be small in order to keep order The first priority is to END the FED and its strangle hold on D.C. Regarding the 40 hour work week; many people are unaware that an overtime bill has been passed by the House of Representitives, not onece but twice, that would let employers not pay time and a half for hours worked above 40 hours. The bill would let employers instead, give employees days off. Its a bit involved but the bill can be viewed online if people are interested. From the comments posted on the sites about the bill, some government workers already are being paid this way. And boy do they hate it!! What I do know about this overtime bill is that the first time it was passed by the House GW Bush was in office and promised to sign it. It died in the Democrat controlled Senate. The second time it was passed by the House, Obama promised to veto the bill and it once again died in the Senate. I am not certain but I believe the Senate, by that time, was controlled by the Republicans. (Believe me when I say that I have no love for Obama, nor Democrats. I have posted on this site and other sites that Barack Hussein Obama is the worst President in my lifetime and one of the very worst in U.S. history. He is a war criminal, along with Boy Bush, and should be tried as such. He is dishonest to his core, divisive and tyrannical. Boy Bush was pretty much the same. Just a horrible horrible person and president. Thats just an opinion. Take it as that.) What is much more important and what worries me and what should worry all Americans is whether this overtime bill will be resurrected in a Trump administration. All three branches of government are Repulican, disorganized as it may be. Will it pass the House? It has before. Will the Senate finally take it up and pass it? That would then put the squeeze on Trump to sign or face a possible veto. That would certainly show where his loyalties lie. If this bill is once again debated and becomes more well known it could be a very interesting and dangerous time for our country. Even Warren Buffett is rich/richer thanks to taking his share of the Publics Funds. All of the military industrial complex is rich/richer for taking a major share of the Publics Funds. If you surveyed the wealth of 90% of the .01%, you would find the same thing. As for the other 10%, you would find the sale of booze during the Prohibition and the sale and/or transportation of slaves as the cornerstone of their wealth. Our prime concern should be in our personal financial progress instead of pointing fingers to the past, which wont help us in the future. Poor people dont have power. Those without power cannot defend freedom ! Thanks for your opinion. I beg to differ. Poor people who are educated and articulate, who speak with understanding and knowledge can be very influential. That most humans worship money, prestige and power lie behind your words. It is a place of great emptiness. Its a place of greater opportunities ! A mans mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind. James Allen in As A Man Thinketh Youre a crazy person. You are maybe using a combination of words their robot doesnt like ? Or a link ? Americas freedom is a hoax. We are not even close to being free. The problem is those who visit this site and can benefit from the information offered are already aware. Those who are unaware wont see this. We are either preaching to the choir or talking to the wall. This is the essence of the dilemma we face. Global Central Banks have declared war upon humanity but those who have been highly propagandized and socially engineered cannot grasp it. I believe we will now find out if the number of humans who are awake are sufficient to survive the Global Banks by withdrawing from their power base; fake/fiat currency. Since they can devalue/debase their global currency system, and are doing so as I write this, will there be sufficient time to inform the general population? This is a race against time and a war of information. If Anthony Wile over at the Daily Bell is correct, the Internet is this generations Gutenberg Press and we will not all be destroyed. I profoundly hope hes right.
