Revolution resolution

The following is a slightly altered telling of an age old document. Do you recognize the document? Can you tell which parts were originally written about the King of England and which were altered to speak of our current administration? The resemblance is uncanny.

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which has connected them with another... they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all people are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among people, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new Government.

All experience hath shown, that humankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them unto absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Such has been the patient sufferance of these United States, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present Administration is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world:

It has refused It’s Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

It has made Judges to be appointed for tenure under constraint of allegiance to Its Will alone.

It has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harass our people.

It has effected to create a Military independent of and superior to the civil power.

It has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws, giving It’s Assent of their Acts of pretended Legislation.

For protecting It’s agents, by executive orders, from punishment for any crimes which they should commit against the inhabitants of these states.

For cutting off our Trade with parts of the world.

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of a constitutional trial.

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses.

For usurping positions of power to which It was not duly elected.

For consenting to acts of unlawful warfare and tactics of torture.

For consenting to acts of domestic civilian espionage and betraying the trust of the people.

For purposely misguiding our nation through the use of fear and deception, and prevaricating when queried as the the purposes.

It is at this time transporting large Armies of Mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty and perfidy totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

It has excited foreign insurrections towards us, and has caused to bring on the inhabitants of our peers whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, and conditions.

Phony election after phony election, laws destroyed despite public cry for approval, laws created to curtail our freedoms (which the government never gave us in the first place- the government was created merely to protect those freedoms), laws created to throw off-balance the carefully created system of checks and balances, lies, deceit, outright war, and general disregard for the people of all nations. It is for all these reasons, and to uphold a just belief voiced by the Fathers of the Constitution that we need to raise up and reclaim our government. It’s current form is no longer serving the purposes and needs of it’s people, of us. Will an election help? Maybe, maybe not. Will the election actually be honest and actually carry through? Maybe, maybe not. A corrupt system cannot be used rightly. It will always remain corrupt. It doesn’t matter who is put in the controls, until the system is righted through systemic changes it cannot function again as it was intended to. Revolution anyone?
