We the People: Stand Up For Freedom
We appear to be steadily losing our rights and freedoms.
This is why I post alternative views on my blog and Facebook page. Not only in the US, but around the world, the elite, banks, corporations, and governments are increasing their control over our lives while keeping us distracted and fighting each other.
Please read this impassioned post by John Whitehead called Mile Markers of Tyranny. He clearly spells out the many ways we continue to lose our rights and freedoms. Those very rights promised to “We the People” by the US Constitution.
I believe most people are missing this generational shift in the world. Instead of noticing and resisting the loss of freedoms, we are distracted by the media games designed to keep us fighting against ourselves over things like politics, religion, race, wars, country, and now pandemics. Sadly, this means we miss the real enemy and cause of the world’s problems. The elite have been steadily increasing their power, wealth, and control for a long time, but especially in the last 50 years. Technology has finally caught up to the early technocrat’s dream from the 1930s. Their dream was (and is) to control the world with social engineering (money, medicine, pandemics, war) and technology (AI, data collection, drones, automation, surveillance). And they are aligned with some of the richest and most powerful people on the planet (pharma and tech are two key industries) who have corrupted our governments, media, politics, banking, and more. And because they control the media and the money, they control the narrative and the power, unless we stand up.
We have been gifted the tools and stewardship of this moment. Will the citizens of America remember who they are and take back their government and soveirgnty? ~ David Martin
For those of you that don’t know, dissenting voices are being heavily censored, including this blog. My blog has been locked down by Facebook for over 6 months. Neither you nor I can share my posts on Facebook or Instagram. There is no appeal process. There is no reason given. It happened in an instant with no warning. Many bloggers, writers, journalists, and content creators are being shut down, censored, and removed by Google, Facebook, YouTube, Wikipedia, Twitter, and more. If they don’t like what we say, (meaning, it doesn’t align with their agenda and mainstream narrative), then it can and will be censored. This is a direct violation of our freedom of speech as defined by the US Constitution.
This explosion of censorship greatly concerns me as I hope it does you too. Our country was founded on the ideals of free speech and other key amendments to protect people from governments and tyranny. Unfortunately, our governments have come to be controlled by tyrants. And don’t be distracted by the left/ right, liberal/ conservative, Biden/ Trump games that are part of the distraction, along with the virus pandemic. We the people have the true power if we unite. They are creating a police state with military-grade weapons, home invasions, citizen snitching, mass surveillance, censorship, assumed guilt, loss of due process, imbalance of power, and more. Every one of these trends goes against the very principals and ideals the US was founded upon.
Please look deeper. Let’s educate ourselves, unite, and stand up for truth and freedom.
I will be making recommendations for information, action, and more in the coming months. And I will continue to post inspiring ideas, poems, and photography. Ultimately, the more we share peace, love, and cooperation, the more power/energy we have for transformation. I respect your opinions and rights to disagree, do nothing, or take a silent, peaceful approach to transformation.
Meanwhile, I encourage you to explore your own truth and stand up for freedom.
Peace, love, and freedom, Brad
Words of Truth, Brad. In this world there is no democracy. Every nation and its big leaders are ruling each and every country according to the way they want to. We the public have become puppets in their hands. All this pandemic too looks like has been created by them to minimize humanity and then enjoy at our costs. Thank you so much for your eye opening post.

Hi Brad, I’m pretty much reiterating everyone else’s comments. It seems that there are many people that haven’t been blindsided by the control of the bureaucrats and politicians. What worries me is the vast number of people who buy into the crap, or are too lethargic or sheepish to voice an alternative opinion. Sadly, we know that there is a large number of people who are prepared to put their cross of support in the wrong place…..otherwise how else do these excuses for politicians get to the top of the tree. I reckon if, based upon appearance only, you put DT and BJ in a room of a hundred people and asked someone to select two of the hundred for the top political positions in their country, they’d both be left alone in the room at the end.

Hi Brad, There’s lots of unrest in the UK too (I’m English but have lived in Spain for twelve years now). When I referred to DT and BJ, the second one was aimed at the UK prime minister Boris Johnson (in case you thought I’d ‘typo-d’ Biden’s initials). My concern, worldwide, is that free-thinking, outspoken people are being silenced / downtrodden by propaganda labelling them to the masses as zealots or conspiracists. Sadly, it seems to pervade into all areas of society, diet, prejudice, politics, climate
etc.

Thanks for clarifying. I agree with you on the loss of avenues for dissenting or free thinking voices because we are bombarded with opinions and propaganda on all sides, especially what the powerful want us to believe. And in turn there has been a serious loss in free thinking, respectful debate and exploration. social media is a driver of this trend.

Probably not. But it does serve to make people conscious of what’s really going on. I think this is a war over consciousness. Unfortunately, often things have to get really bad before enough people realize they have been ALLOWING all this to happen, that they have let themselves be duped and attempt to take their power back. This is a war over consciousness… but it might turn into a sort of global civil war. If it does, I will fight to my last drop of blood for my freedom. And if death is the outcome, well then my spirit will take a long holiday to the Pleiades or Andromeda…

It’s scary indeed, Brad. The slippery slope is turning into a cliff face. The US in particular is in deep trouble, and Trump is not the cause but the result. I don’t think it’s too late for us to take back our Constitutional rights and freedoms, but it won’t be an easy road. Things may need to get a lot worse before the country rises up and the pendulum swings in the other direction. I have hope, though I may not be around to see its fruition. Keep speaking out for the values of peace, kindness, and true freedom.

I will NOT talk politics but I do know this …. you cannot blame one person for what is going on. Our society is sick through and through for most people have given their power over to the narrative and have stopped thinking for themselves. When people have had enough of slavery, then they will revolt. I have and will never bend my knee to evil!

Hi Brad mi amigo, thank you for this inspiring and courageous post, and apologies for the belated comment (my laptop broke down and is still in repair). I love how you are standing up for human rights and freedom here, and I could not agree more with most of what you are stating here. I have moved away (as much as possible anyhow) from consuming mainstream media, mainstream medicine, food supply etc as there are too many either restrictive or literally sickening aspects involved. FB’s behavior is BS. Viva la revolucion (Che Guevara) or viva la transformacion, or viva both;) Kudos to you for being brave and breaking a-way! Hugs

Thank you for sharing this important blog post – and thank you for all of the great comments it inspired. I happened to listen to a TV game show yesterday morning for a few minutes which involved people guessing the prices of various products. I remember watching a show like that as a child — now all I could hear/see was how well-indoctrinated I was to become a CONSUMER. This is one reason why I have simplified my life and rarely buy anything new (or even from our local Salvation Army store…) I was astounded to see a TV program recently about how Communist/Consumerist China is now actively monitoring everyone’s behavior via their cell phones. If you are observed (by the millions of cameras which now monitor our comings and goings) jay-walking, for example, you start losing social privileges. This is one of many reasons — cost being another and radiation near my brain being a third) why I live without a cell phone. Deep breath in. Deep breath out.
