America’s Patriotic Season – Happy 4th of July
This Independence Day Ask Yourself… What Am I Doing for Freedom?
By Mike Adams, The Health Ranger
Natural News: Commenting on other people’s articles is easy. Sharing them on social networking is easy. Signing an online petition is easy, and so is forwarding an email. But this Independence Day, I’m asking all the millions of readers to ask yourself this question: What are YOU doing for freedom this year?
And by that question, I mean what are you doing for freedom in the real world.
The online world is one thing, and it’s a powerful thing, especially if you are writing original articles yousefl or maintaining a blog, but it’s not where the rubber meets the road. Right now is the time for all of us — myself included — to get off our butts and join real-world action in the name of freedom.
Find a cause for freedom and join it (or spark it!)
It doesn’t matter where you fall on the political spectrum. I’ve found that We the People have a wide range of things we have in common, regardless of who we voted for in the last election. Everybody wants to have honest labels on food. Everybody wants to be safe from toxic pesticides, herbicides and agricultural poisons. Everybody wants the opportunity for economic prosperity in a fair and just system where hard work and innovation is rewarded. Everybody is tired of the lies and oppression of corrupt politicians, evil corporations and the lying news media. We are UNITED in these truths!
Right now, the world is waking up to revolution. Awareness, truth and liberty is spreading globally. People who are fed up with being oppressed by government incompetence and criminality are finally taking matters into their own hands to call for justice, human dignity and human rights.
As a wonderful example of this, hundreds of courageous U.S. men and women are planning a rescue mission on July 5th to demand the release of Marine Sgt. Tahmooressi — a U.S. military veteran who has been imprisoned by the government of Mexico due to a border crossing technicality stemming from an honest road navigation error.
It’s time for real American citizens to band together, march into Mexico with determination, and free our fellow citizen from prison there. Bring him home and celebrate our compassion for our fellow brothers and sisters who have suffered enough.
Human freedom is on the verge of being forever lost if not demanded now
In our nation right now, there are powerful institutions actively fighting to keep us all enslaved. Those include the government itself, the mainstream media and of course certain powerful corporations that profit from domination and monopolistic practices. It is this suffocating scourge of oppression and enslavement that has denied generations of Americans their rightful heritage of abundance, prosperity, health and happiness.
Today, many of our cities stand on the verge of collapse. In Detroit, nearly half the citizens cannot afford running water. (1) In New York, 1 in 6 families faces starvation. (2) The collapse of America into third-world conditions is happening so rapidly and unexpectedly that the United Nations may soon be called in to “rescue” city-dwellers. (3) Since 2001, America has suffered a loss of 56,000 manufacturing facilities (4), and southern towns are now being literally overrun by such a huge wave of undocumented immigrants that the Department of Homeland Security has declared a Level Four Alert. (5)
Similarly, California is experiencing a mass exodus as the burden of failed government policies and outrageous taxation drives families and businesses into bankruptcy. Illinois and Michigan have become bureaucratic nightmares of corruption and executive brutality against the citizens, and the mass militarization of local police is turning America’s streets into literal war zones, where no citizen is safe.
National apathy has allowed EVIL to attain positions of power
Is this the America that once declared its independence from tyranny rule? Far from it. While too many citizens slumbered in comfort and apathy, devious, dark forces slithered into positions of corporate, government and media power. They now own the nation and run the theater… and upon the world stage they have created, they play out fables called “The News” or a “White House press conference.”
But the fictions they have desperately woven are rapidly unraveling. The comatose masses are beginning to awaken in unprecedented numbers. Awareness, consciousness and courage are taking form, rising from the hearts and souls of our fellow brothers and sisters, all of whom desire the same things we do: happiness, prosperity, health, longevity and abundance. And along with those core desires, we now understand that they can only be protected when we also demand government accountability, human rights, personal liberty and privacy, personal responsibility and respect for a system of laws under which ALL men and women must operate.
But last week, patriotic protesters blocked the Obama Admin buses carrying illegal immigrants and vow to keep doing it. Read More
If you doing nothing else this 4th of July Weekend… watch one patriotic ot historical movie with your friends or family and discuss it and its significance, or go to the theatre and get to the theater and see Dinesh D’Souza’s America… and then take the inspiration you get from them and get out there and do something with it…
“Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.” – Sir Winston Churchill
“They dress the wound of my people lightly. ‘Peace, peace,’ they say, when there is no peace.” – Jeremiah 6:14
“Throughout history, Allah has imposed upon the Jews people who would punish them for their corruption .The last punishment was carried out by Hitler. By means of all the things he did to them, even though they exaggerated this issue he managed to put them in their place. This was divine punishment for them. Allah Willing, the next time will be at the hand of the believers.” - Sheik Yusef Al-Qaradawi, Spiritual leader on the Muslim Brotherhood in a sermon on al-Jazeera, January 28 2009
“If They want a holy war, we will give them a holy war.” - Former Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin.
This week’s winning entry was Three Funerals.. And The End of The Beginning by Joshuapundit. Three Israeli teens who were kidnapped and murdered in cold blood by Hamas were buried this week and I had a few things to say about it. Here’s a slice:
Today, three young Jewish boys were laid to rest.The bodies of Eyal Yifrach, 19, Gilad Shaar, 16, and Naftali Frenkel, also 16 (HY”D)were buried in Modi’in in a ceremony that was attended by thousands of Israelis in what became a day of national mourning.
The bodies of the three boys, kidnapped by Hamas operatives on June 12 were found in a shallow grave near the Arab village of Halhul, just north of Hebron. According to Israeli forensic experts, they were murdered in cold blood shortly after they were kidnapped and buried hastily as their kidnappers fled. But not too hastily. As one of my sources on the scene let me know yesterday,the killers took the time first before they shoved the corpses into the hole to mutilate the boys’ bodies in classic Arab fashion.Israel’s Channel Two described the condition of the bodies as ‘harrowing’.
This was meant to send a message to the Israelis. So was the attack on the clearly marked ambulance carrying the murdered boys’ bodies to Israel to be buried, and the widespread instances of celebration of the ‘victory’ by Arabs living under the Palestinian Authority. and even in Israel itself.
Nor are children left untouched by this poison.They’re being indoctrinated as the next generation of murderers in the name of Allah.
The message, of course, is the same one the Arabs whom call themselves Palestinians have been sending ever since Yasser Arafat invented them. To them, or at least to the majority, this is a tribal war to the knife, no holds barred and none of the niceties of civilized behavior apply. They want the Jews ethnically cleansed by whatever means necessary. There is no desire for peace or real negotiation, no farcical ‘two state solution’ so beloved of the West and what remains of the Israeli Left. And that message is being sent out every day by Hamas, who are at least more honest about the matter and Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah, on whose official Facebook page the image immediately above this paragraph appeared.
After these murders, the message finally may be beginning to sink in with most Israelis, especially given the response from the West. After all, the Palestinians are whom they are, and their brutality is to be expected.But the civilized nations of the West?
The Israelis can’t have failed to notice that for all the pro-forma condemnations from the US, the UN and the EU, the underlying message is ‘so sad your children got murdered, but you ought to be used to that by now. We’re still going to continue funding the new Fatah-Hamas government because they’re one big happy family now, so the important thing for Israel is to exercise is restraint. Suck it up.’
To be totally honest about the matter, it is difficult for me to express adequately the way that message makes me feel…that the American government now funds and supports a genocidal group that would celebrate my murder or the murder of my loved ones just as enthusiastically as they’re celebrating the murder of those three boys. Three unarmed boys murdered in cold blood, whom Wafa, the PA owned news service referred to as ‘three soldiers’. I admit that I still haven’t sorted out my feelings on that one, but my thoughts are far from pleasant.
President Barack Hussein Obama, the leader of the country that is supposed to be Israel’s strongest ally had nothing to say at all about the matter for three weeks, and finally released a statement pretty much along these same lines once the bodies were found, perhaps because someone in the State Department reminded him it might be a good idea to say something. In contrast, that supposed cold fish, Russia’s Vladimir Putin, made several calls to Israeli PM Netanyahu and Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman over the newly installed Jerusalem-Moscow secure hotline during the crisis, and took the time and trouble after the bodies were found to compose a hand written letter to Netanyahu, asking him to express Putin’s personal condolences to the boys’ families.
