On Freedom

Freedom: The power to determine action without restraint.

Honest Freedom: The power to determine action without restraint and without causing restraint upon others.

Oppression: The state of being kept down by unjust use of force or authority.

Our media exaggerates the truth to keep us under control. Pay attention to the articles Yahoo.com posts to its standard and world news sections. They are racist, biased and slanted to promote fear and anxiety among the American colonial world.

Prior to modern technology war was obviously conducted in a most different manner. Take for example the war of 1812. Battles took many weeks to prepare. Marching 80 miles could take 2-3 weeks. The battles themselves could be between 500 men on either side and often the day was called before there were 150 deaths on both sides combined. However modern technology shows us a heavy weapons barrage in Sri Lanka can kill 60 hospital residents in a makeshift hospital in a matter of minutes. Or that a less than 5 (modern) American Nukes could obliterate Japan. The U.S. maintains a stockpile of approx. 5,500 warheads to this day.

Why do you think American news displayed the 9/11 attack for months on T.V after it happened? Because the fear kept the news on almost all television sets across the nation for that period of time.

from the Biography of William Henry Harrison according to whitehouse.gov

"His prime task as governor was to obtain title to Indian lands so settlers could press forward into the wilderness. When the Indians retaliated, Harrison was responsible for defending the settlements.

The threat against settlers became serious in 1809. An eloquent and energetic chieftain, Tecumseh, with his religious brother, the Prophet, began to strengthen an Indian confederation to prevent further encroachment. In 1811 Harrison received permission to attack the confederacy.

While Tecumseh was away seeking more allies, Harrison led about a thousand men toward the Prophet's town. Suddenly, before dawn on November 7, the Indians attacked his camp on Tippecanoe River. After heavy fighting, Harrison repulsed them, but suffered 190 dead and wounded.

The Battle of Tippecanoe, upon which Harrison's fame was to rest, disrupted Tecumseh's confederacy but failed to diminish Indian raids. By the spring of 1812, they were again terrorizing the frontier.

In the War of 1812 Harrison won more military laurels when he was given the command of the Army in the Northwest with the rank of brigadier general. At the Battle of the Thames, north of Lake Erie, on October 5, 1813, he defeated the combined British and Indian forces, and killed Tecumseh. The Indians scattered, never again to offer serious resistance in what was then called the Northwest."

What our government has so conveniently failed to mention was that Harrison was going to preemptive strike the Indians on November 7. Also that many of the treaties which gave the land Tecumseh fought for were unfairly signed by chiefs and sub-chiefs who were intoxicated on Harrison's whiskey and not agreed upon by all the tribes residing in the areas.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which is stands: one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.

from Wikipedia--

"The Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy (1855-1931), a Baptist minister, a Christian socialist, and the cousin of socialist utopian novelist Edward Bellamy (1850-1898). Bellamy's original "Pledge of Allegiance" was published in the September 8th issue of the popular children's magazine The Youth's Companion as part of the National Public-School Celebration of Columbus Day, a celebration of the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's discovery of America, conceived by James B. Upham.

The pledge was supposed to be quick and to the point. Bellamy designed it to be stated in 15 seconds. He had initially also considered using the words equality and fraternity[citation needed] but decided they were too controversial since many people opposed equal rights for women and blacks."
