This fourth of July article is a call to those people of the USA who can still think critically to stop merely talking about changing the US
and hence, the world,
and start doing it by creating resistance movements against the beliefs and practices that foster going into countries and homes
to kill the people and take their resources.
Be it under the ruse of something called democracy,
humanitarian intervention,
the war on terror
or the war on drugs
these programs and their labels delude and deceive in order to manufacture consent for war,
torture
and theft
that profits the small group of men and women who really rule the world.
If you believe in ideals such as freedom and self-determination
then fight for it here and now in your own country,
state,
city
and neighborhood
because the greatest Fourth of July lies told
is that this is a free country
that liberates “others”
so we can remain “free” here …
