“To stand up for truth is nothing. For truth, you must sit in jail. You can resolve to live your life with integrity. Let your credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me. The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. One word of truth outweighs the world. In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.” Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago, 1918-1956
I share and remind topics and articles I find interesting. I may not agree with all points of the articles or videos that I share, but nevertheless see it as worth discussing. I believe in the Constitution of the United States and our Bill of Rights. I believe in the freedom of and for the individual. I believe in the absolute right of the individual to protect their lives, the lives of their kin and property. I believe in our God-given (whether you believe or not) human rights for all. I do not believe in extra or special rights or protections for anyone. This always leads to problems or a form of subjugation for those outside this special or "protected" class. I am for everyone being free to pursue their own livelihoods without other people or governments stepping in.
The only legitimate purpose of a valid government is to keep the shared interests of its citizens maintained and to protect our rights, property and freedoms. The government should NEVER be used to try to force views or thoughts onto its citizens, nor to silence them. I am usually polite and often enjoy a discussion with others, regardless of whether or not I may agree with you on everything. As long as what you are fighting for does not impede my freedoms, I may even change my mind from time to time.
Being offended is a neutral state for everyone except the person who is offended. If you are offended, you can learn to accept it, choose to ignore it, find a different path or reaction, or work to improve the factors involved; you may not change others to try to make them fit your perception of the correct way to do life. For your sake, if you are easily offended or can't live with the idea that others disagree with you, Grow Up. That is all.
"Those who do not take a stand against evil will in the end be over come by it, those who tolerate evil in their midst will eventually tolerate evil in their hearts, those who are silent before evil will in the end be silenced by evil."
Yeup, sooner or later the people in this country are going to realize the government doesn't give a fuck about them. the government doesn't care about you, or your children, or your rights, or your welfare or your safety. it simply doesn't give a fuck about you. It's interested in it's own power. That's the only thing...keeping it, and expanding wherever possible.
GEORGE CARLIN
Most people upon this planet know nothing about how this world is actually run. They are programed from birth by their parents (who have also gone through the brainwashing), the education (indoctrination) system, the medical system, the government (control of the mind) system, religion and the mainstream media (the propaganda wing of the government). It's all social engineering. To build a society who will willingly give up their Rights and allow a psychopathic ruling class to keep them enslaved. Bloody pathetic - when one knows the TRUTH !!!
"In order to awaken, first of all one must realize that one is in a state of sleep. And in order to realize that one is indeed in a state of sleep, one must recognize and fully understand the nature of the forces which operate to keep one in the state of sleep, or hypnosis. It is absurd to think that this can be done by seeking information from the very source which induces the hypnosis.
....One thing alone is certain, that man's slavery grows and increases. Man is becoming a willing slave. He no longer needs chains. He begins to grow fond of his slavery, to be proud of it. And this is the most terrible thing that can happen to a man."
~G.I. Gurdjieff
"Most people, even though they don’t know it, are asleep. They’re born asleep, they live asleep, they marry in their sleep, they breed children in their sleep, they die in their sleep without ever waking up. They never understand the loveliness and the beauty of this thing we call human existence."
I'm old school, 100 % German by heritage, but my name was a gift. I'm spiritual with a firm belief in the Native Prophecy of the "Rainbow Warriors". I worked as a licensed massage & bodyworks therapist and have studied natural health for 20 yrs now. I am not a teacher but an awakener. I've walked a very different path and my opinions reflect that. I don't like republicans, democrats, nor most government agencies. I refuse to be silent at anything I find an injustice. My mission in life is to awaken and help others. And if I can make you pee a little, spit coffee thru your nose, or laugh, that's just a bonus...
I own my body. You have no right to tell me what I can or cannot put into it, nor are you entitled to any revenue I generate using my body.
You further have no right to elect other people who you empower with rights I do not have. The laws that these people write on paper are completely invalid to me. I do not violate natural law, nor do I aggress against anyone not aggressing themselves on me. I will defend with deadly force the natural rights I possess as a human being. These rights are not given nor do I authorize the defense of those rights by any individual or government other than myself.

First of all - I am not speaking to make you feel good! I am speaking to wake you up!
I am a very active member of minds community - if I decide to follow you and you post wise stuff - I will upvote, comment and remind your content day by day. I expect the same from you! if you don’t upvote my content - when I notice you’re leeching my likes and upvotes I stop upvoting your content and start using your content as a source only. you need to reciprocate in order to get tokens for my interaction.
I mostly post in English and am interested in both American as well as British matters - thanks to the fact that I’ve been learning English for over two decades - cultural context of English speaking world is not entirely alien to me.
As due to contemporary changes Poland (my patria) is a very interesting and culturally unique country I keep reporting on it and sometimes present, translate and explain Polish matters to you westerners. If I post in Polish - I try to do it in the morning hours in Europe so that at least most Americans are not affected. I never boost my content solely in Polish without translation.
Thank you for your time and attention - hope we will enjoy the ride!

We are at a a cross road in our history. We can change our thinking. I believe we can join together and bring peace to our world now! If we choose the path of peace better doors will open for mankind. Our sons and daughters are depending on us to give them a better world than we inherited from our parents. Desiring Peace is not about color, race, religion or creed! Coming together for peaceful solution is the only way to stop our destruction. Supporting each other is the right way when we are truly searching for peaceful answers. Peaceful solutions placed on this site will be amplified by those with love for mankind and this planet! WHEN We have the RIGHT solutions we will act on them! How will you know the solution is right? WHEN all parties win and are treated with love kindness and respect! When the solution benefits the planet and the Commons are protected. What are the Commons? Answer: the air, soil, and water. With out these three being kept healthy we are all doomed! So look at the big picture and see where we are all being attacked and how we can overcome through peaceful means. Look and see how and what is dividing us and choose to do what is true, honest, just, pure, lovely, good, does it bring praise, is it virtuous, does it bring a good outcome for both parties! Watch Pray the Devil back to Hell! It is a good place to start!
