Almost 250 years ago, America's founding fathers sat in a room to discuss the revolution against British tyranny. These men were fierce freedom fighters. They did not simply accept the rules that they were given.
(0:23 - 0:37)
These were men who saw the slow government encroachment and put a stop to it in order to protect themselves and their loved ones. And because of this, they laid a groundwork for freedom unlike any major country in history. One based off of freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
(0:38 - 0:49)
But over time, this message of freedom has become distorted. Centralized governments have crept in. The Federal Reserve became a scam juggernaut, and really I think this is one of the key turning points as far as tyranny forming in the US.
(0:50 - 1:10)
And of course, the technological control system that they're setting up is their final key piece to their totalitarianism. When I look at what America is today, and I compare it to what America was, sometimes I wonder what our founding fathers would even think of something like this. I mean, they went to war over taxation without representation, and now we're blindly accepting any law that is pushed on us.
(1:10 - 1:22)
Tyrants have snuck in, and people are too afraid to stand up and say no to them. America and its core ideals are slowly being lost through complacency and fear. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming the US people.
(1:22 - 1:35)
The truth is, we've been lied to, tricked, and even poisoned with poor nutrition and pharmaceuticals all of our lives. This is an uphill battle. But we the people have allowed our government to bully the world in order to play power games.
(1:35 - 1:49)
We the people have allowed power seekers to get rich while sending our youth to die. And we the people have fell for all of our politicians lives for all of these years. And yes, you can say they have a control system, like they control the media, or whatever excuse you want to use.
(1:49 - 1:57)
But the truth is, they are not God. They are not ultimate. The only power a government has is the power that the people give it.
(1:57 - 2:13)
And that brings on a wonderful question. What makes America special? Well, we were a country that realized the power that we the people have, and we chose to stand up for our rights, to say no to tyranny. And no, you don't have to be American to be free, anyone can, all it takes is saying no.
(2:14 - 2:37)
I've heard many people argue that America is only a superpower because of its corruption, or its massive military, or its natural resources, or its huge spending budget. Well, while I can't argue against its corruption, I do not think its strength solely comes through coercion, blackmail, and war. I believe that America's prosperity began because liberty allows prosperity to flourish.
(2:37 - 2:52)
We the people need to become aware, to see through political theater and distractions, and protect our country and our freedom. We need to get out of foreign wars. We need to cut the government by 90 plus percent, and we need to place strict limitations on centralized power.
(2:52 - 3:03)
The government and its workers are civil servants. It should not be seen as a privilege to be a government worker, or in other words, a civil servant. It is a duty, and it should be seen as a sacrifice.
(3:04 - 3:13)
Because an efficient government is a dictatorship. That's why the constitution was designed to get in the way of centralized government. This is the way to prosperity.
(3:13 - 3:28)
But can we get there? America is the most divided I've ever seen it. Even many freedom fighters that I know feel so disillusioned that they believe that the government is hopeless, and the only chance they have to freedom is exiting the system and escaping. I understand where they're coming from, but I don't think that's the answer.
(3:28 - 3:37)
We cannot give up so easily. If a government is corrupt, it can be saved. Just look at the constitution, and how it was designed to give the power back to the people.
(3:38 - 3:54)
We've simply lost that power because we believed that this piece of paper would protect us, instead of us protecting this piece of paper. And in a way, if you choose to escape, I really kind of feel like that's just like giving up. I believe that we can't run for this, and instead we need to ensure a legacy of freedom for our future generations.
(3:54 - 4:12)
A legacy where people are proud to say, I love America, because nowadays many people are afraid to say I love America. Well, I love America, but not for its corrupt politicians, not for its meaningless wars or acts of terrorism, and not for its rich resources or large spending budget. I love America for the same reason that our founding fathers did.
(4:12 - 4:25)
I love America because we the people have said no before, and won. I love America because we understand the prosperity that comes with liberty. I love America because it's been a beacon of freedom and prosperity for the rest of the world.
(4:25 - 4:39)
I feel extremely blessed to have experienced a childhood of freedom. Growing up in the US, I've experienced countless wonderful memories, and just like all nice things in life, it's easy to overlook them. But I think it's very important that we're grateful for what we've been blessed with.
(4:39 - 4:52)
We're one of the few generations in history that were able to see a liberty and freedom oriented society. A society where the American dream is possible, where freedom of speech and the free market are praised. And don't get me started on the American culture.
(4:52 - 5:09)
Although many Europeans tease Americans by saying that we don't have culture, I look back fondly to my childhood and all the wonderful American traditions. There's something magical about sitting next to a campfire, listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd, and making s'mores while watching fireworks. Or walking door to door in your costume, asking for candy and decorating your house for Halloween.
(5:10 - 5:18)
Memorial Day picnics, Thanksgiving dinners, Super Bowl Sundays. All of these are memories I will cherish forever. Memories of my culture, and my people.
(5:18 - 5:32)
And of course, this week, 4th of July, a fantastic holiday, the birth of America celebrated as far as the eye can see. But the 4th of July is not just a day to party and spend money on fireworks and have fun. It's a day where we express our love for the ideals that our nation was founded upon.
(5:33 - 5:45)
America was born on the ideals of liberty, freedom, and individual sovereignty. And these values have lived on through its people, not necessarily its government. It's my goal to continue to uphold these values and ensure a legacy of freedom for our future generations.
(5:45 - 5:55)
To follow our founding fathers' footsteps and say no when something is wrong, no matter how scary it is. And to uphold truth at all costs. And even if I fail to hold the torch, it doesn't matter.
(5:56 - 6:10)
No matter how hard tyrants or power seekers try to enslave humanity, no matter how complex of a machine they create, they will always fail. Why? Because truth is ultimate. Truth exists even beneath lies and it is visible to all of those who search for it.
(6:10 - 6:21)
There will never be a time in history where truth is not there. So find your faith and surrender your worries. Spread liberty not out of fear for losing it, but out of your love and inspiration that you're blessed with.
(6:21 - 6:29)
Whether you live in the US or other parts of the world, I want to thank you for being a freedom fighter. Do not fear, and trust in truth. Thank you very much.
