This is a Call-to-Arms! :horn: Let the truth be my sword and transparency be my steed.....


Sorry kids Santa, the Easter bunny, the Toothfairy, and pretty much everything we have been taught since birth is a lie. Your religions are false, and the laws are biased. Charities do not benefit those to which the energy has been donated. Science has been sculpted and preformed. Freethinking will be curtailed at every turn. Freedom is a farce......

My anger and rage have reached a new level. I have never wanted something so badly as I do now.

This is my "Declaration of War to Support Truth and Revelation" and I am calling on all my fellow Earthlings- the time is now.

Hear the call to arms my fellow spirit/truth warriors. We have never been needed more than we are now. :help:

i support your declaration whole heartedly.

the truth is by far our strongest position
even if getting back to it requires examining the more uncomfortable aspects of our own being.

i think to a degree (no pun intended) the world system has obliged us to walk the wrong path
because those at the top are liars. cheats, thieves, psychopaths etc
and the only way one can achieve success in a system like that
is to act like that oneself.

maybe ironic

we aspire to lower ourselves

or at least we did.

anyone who goes against the flow of things,
in order to bring about a better quality of existence
deserves all the support one can muster.

cheers, and nice one.

Thank you, my friend, for your support. If we are to win this war we will need the support of all Earthlings.

I agree that we will have to come to grips with the idea that some of our most valued convictions were born from false information. This can bring one to their knees.

We will need prepare for our ego to suffer some pretty solid defeats.

Now I will share some of my secret truths.



Please allow me to stand before you all in my shame...

I have an addictive personality, and have battled with drug addiction since I was 16.

In my younger days I beat a peer to unconsiousness, and felt no remorse, until I saw what I had done to him days later. I cried like a baby. but I never did tell him I was sorry. Dan if you're out there I'm sorry! (and no, I don't consider this an apology)

I was 18 years old before I had ever kissed a girl, I had even lied to friends about having "gone all the way"

I have suffered from low self esteem due to vanity. Still do to a degree.

I wear my heart on my sleeve, and lost my pride a long time ago.

I was diagnosed with Hidradenitis. This disease is a life sentence of pain, and caused me to re-evaluate myself on a spiritual level.

I am not suicidal, yet for more than 2 decades I prayed for my death.

There is more, but this is a start.

Matt, i can fully understand exactly what you are trying to get across mate,

Well, sending Declarations seems to be the way to go, apparently.

The Declaration of Independence 236 years ago was sent to England by the colonists of America, basically telling England what they could do with their control. The point is, those colonists backed up their declaration, even tough the British understood how to make the colonists "think" they were free while they covertly held the power and control.

Now, we supposedly, according to Drake, have at least 38 States here in the corporate UNITED STATES who have sent declarations to the Hague declaring their sovereignty and have petitioned the military to stand with them and the people against tyranny. All of this is hearsay and has not been proven to be true.

Yet, a declaration is just a notice, which is an Administrative process of noticing someone of your intent as well as asking for proof of claim, or verification of charges, and then giving them an opportunity to cure the breach or the default, and then defaulting them for not responding and taking action, usually judicial.

Anyone who did the Tim Turner freedom documents knows all about the administrative process and how effective it is. It doesn't do squat. It is nice to give the opposition the opportunity to be civil and forthright, but it's not enforceable. You can tell the judge, "hey, I gave him every opportunity to come clean, but he refused"

Judge is going to think, hey, that's nice, but it wont influence his decision. Next you can go into the cabals tribunal (court) and attempt to adjudicate your grievance, but have you seen the statistics on that one? It's appalling how only about 5% of cases go in favor of the litigant who goes against the banks. 95% of the time the cabalists banksters win.

I agree Fred. I don't want anyone to misunderstand my use of the word "war" in my OP. It was used metaphorically. I am not asking for anyone to use violence. This war is of thought, and intended to bring about a change in the way we think- that in my view has been a long time coming. The violence portrayed in the video is also a metaphor for my intent to battle what I consider the enemies of truth and transparency.

Fred, thats 100% correct, and although i stated i would be at Matts side in the battle, im not a soldier in that sense of the word.
In a battle for the truth, its a battle of words, does that make sense, i hope so?

I expect that that would go much the same as the war on drugs, the war on cancer, the war on crime, the war on teenage pregnancy...

My Declaration of War Against Secrecy and Lies.....]

It really isn't all that difficult for me to see that war has already been declared against the truth, and that has sired so much secrecy. I am simply asking would-be truthseekers to join together, agree that truth is needed now more than ever, and to assist the collective to bring the long list of suspected secrets to light. I believe this is absolutely imparative to our growth. IMO all the secrets and lies are preventing humanity from making any further progress as a species.

No need for apologies. I totally laughed too. Funny how the words can be twisted. As far as my thoughts on the battle- I am just putting some of my truth out there hoping others might see what I see. I can't afford to fear shame anymore. I would hope that others can understand and support a movement to decriminalize shame, and to focus the criminalization onto those things that truly hurt us.

This is not a battle for my gain, it is a battle for OUR gain. I don't have any children- I chose not to have any because the disease I have is horrible and hereditary, yet I want the children of others to have a chance at a free life of free will and free expression. I would like to see a modern renaissance.

You can go back to the OP and change it. I can see why you are getting a mixed set of responses, and why many have attempted to inject humor into this thread. The first thing I would do is remove that video.

It' smacks of objectifying the feminine and making her to fit into the masculine patriarch, and the music does not have the resonant tone of the heart, but the perturbing and agitating resonance of the control grid.

if you want serious responses, than present your OP in a serious fashion. You will have to ask the mods to change the thread title though.

Sound advice- no pun intended. Silly how these words work.

I am going to leave the video in the OP as I believe the adversary in this battle needs to understand my level of commitment, no regrets. This war for truth isn't about to start walking on eggshells because people want fuzzy feelings. There are some hard truths and deep secrets out there, and there may even be tears.

Some may think the music hurts the ears, and the violence is hard to watch, but IMO the truth will hurt our ears and the secrets revealed will be hard to watch. Hold on tight it's going to be a rough campaign.

Serve truth and it will follow as well as guide you in a positive manner. Strength against the enemies of truth is manifested in your resolve to stand firm and not allow those enemies into your personal environment period. Control your environment and you control your world in the now. Your steadfastness against the enemy should be to walk the talk and set the example for the future you desire. IMHO

The Army of Truth is recruiting.....

Do not fear your individual shames, we all have some, whether we admit to this or not.

Share with Humanity your truths, but be prepared for difficult scrutinies. The mindless masses do not want the sting of truth to disrupt their zombie dance.

I have been known to use comedy to hide my tragedy- yes I'm guilty. No I am not sorry. This behavior was taught to me by example. I am breaking free.......

My guess is that Freddie was aware of this learned behavior too.

....I should point out as a disclaimer.....
I have no issues with homosexuals- can't see the sense in persecuting someone for loving someone. I myself am not gay, nor does the point I'm trying to make here have anything to do with homosexuality. (well maybe it does...someone shouldn't feel shame for loving another mutually)


PS I had posted my request yesterday to be more serious, and after sleeping on it, I realise that I was wrong to ask for such. Bring me some more metaphors, humor, and that endless wit. Offer your truths as you see them. Just remember, shame should only be felt by those that hurt others. All I ask is that if you share- please share what you honestly feel is truth.

This will be my contribution for today.

A Republic, by definition, has two principle elements,
First, it is controlled by Law, therefore it does not control Law.
Second, it recognizes the private independent sovereign nature of each person (man or woman) of competent age and capacity, therefore a Republic must be representative in its nature.

A Republic recognizes Law is unchangeable, or at least that it can only be changed by a higher source than government. In a Republic the concept of “collective sovereignty” cannot exist, except with recognition that the State or nation, as a body of sovereigns, can speak through one elected voice; though that one voice can never lawfully interfere with the private rights of the individual sovereigns.

“A Constitutional Republic” is a government created and controlled, at least, by the Law of a Constitution. The Constitution of the United States of America was, in Law, foundationally based on the Bible, the Magna Carta, and The Declaration of Independence. Those documents recognize man’s sovereignty, the divine nature of man’s creation and man’s divine right to Life, Liberty, Property, and the pursuit of happiness.


[I would ask that we take notice of the difference]


Democracy:

1 a : government by the people
esp
: rule of the majority
b : a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usu. involving periodically held free elections
2 : a political unit that has a democratic government

Pluto is in Capricorn until 2024. Some factual historic events have been known to occur in the past during this cyclical event. Thank the creator that we have the internet now. These repeated struggles for power used to be fought like what you see in the video. The last time Pluto was in Capricorn our fellow countrymen fought our Revolutionary War. With the gift of the internet, we can now create brotherhoods/sisterhoods of righteousness, share our ideals, speak out against oppression, and even wage war without violence.

This has to do with the universal law of attraction. Where ever you place your attention upon, the universe will manifest more of it into your reality. BY placing your attention on secrecy and lies, by going against it, and stating it, you are (unconsciously), co-creating more of it into your reality. But, if instead of it, you place you attention in the opposite, going pro openness and truth, you would be placing your attention on those qualities (openness and truth), and subsequently, co-creating it with the universe into your reality.

For my own clarification:

As my intentions with this thread are to promote truth and revelation, it would benefit these positive intentions to do the following:

a. Focus on "truth" and "revelation"
b. Alter my focus of "against" to "pro", or "support"
c. Ask a mod to alter my thread title, for example, to: "My Declaration of War to Support Truth and Revelation"

Would these changes, in your opinion, serve my intent better?

I had considered that one too Camilo.

Although the word war brings about uneasy feelings in people-- I feel that "war" has a place in the title. It is there to recognize that we are being attacked and that there is a need to defend ourselves.

Just so you know, your words touched me, and they have more meaning than just to be a reason to change the thread title. I will be putting this new knowledge to use in my daily life.

Thanks again.

These tears I shed were of gratitude and hope.

I am fairly confident that all of us will, one day very soon, learn what it means to be human. It takes so little effort to lift the spirits of one another. We are one. We are family. We are equals in our existence.

No kings--no slaves. We must agree to disagree, and set aside individual differences to create prosperity for all.
