As this movement becomes more defined, we need to refine our messaging. Constantly and consistently. This way, our efforts are united on a variety of levels. We need to collaborate locally, Nationally, and Internationally to achieve the types of change we see possible and necessary.

With World War III looming over our heads, it is more important than ever for citizens internationally to set themselves apart from their nation-states and declare other citizens who do the same as their allies. The citizens of the United States are not at war, their Government is. The Iranian citizen does not was to rain weaponry on Israel, Brittan and the US in retaliation, the rulers of Iran do. It is entirely possible to tell our governments that if they declare war on one nation, they declare war on all of mankind.

There in-lies the trick we have fallen for as a people for too long. Many family members and close friends have been beseeching me to vote in the upcoming election, but I’m not sold on the validity and safety of that. Imagine if every voter in 2008 knew their vote for Obama would also be a vote for invading two more nations (being Libya and Pakistan), the arrest of rights and extending the detention of fellow Americans. I feel incriminated enough, I would rather state my case through the constitution that the current political system is illegal and illegitimate, than place my vote and commit a crime. If we as a people define that line, and we no long respect or believe in the system, it becomes as effective as a snake eating itself. Well, in all fairness, a snake eating itself and has massive military power doing it’s bidding regardless. Either way, this is a subtle form of trickery and cohesion, and the people must work together to get around it. Like the Oath Keepers, who do no longer support the legitimacy of the regime.

In a united front, #10December is a organized step to communicating across country and state lines to define our demands. This is exciting not only because all the quite truths we have suffered with for too long are being discussed across the web, but this is the groundwork for global legislation; a return to the natural rights of all sentient beings on this planet. Many occupations already have documents of some kind, but the question is what are the consistencies? Where are we aligned and where are we divided? Most importantly, this provides a united platform, spreading the message to all that this is a global movement.

There is a Global Assembly taking place on the web. It’s objective is to discuss revisions to the current standing Universal Declaration of Human Rights passed by the UN, December 10th 1948. The discussion is taking place on an open-source platform, creating a living document everyone can contribute to.

There are many idea’s being floated, all of which are radical in their structure. Even the proposed right to internet is integral to our fight, because even the airwaves have been colonized. Another compelling right spoken about s the right to revolt (#1) submitted by the International Commission of Madrid. The proposal reads as follows:

“If any person, public administration or government takes action or approves laws that are against any of the established rights, the people have the right to condemn them and to declare these procedures unlawful or not legitimate”

It’s a sad day on earth where our right to free speech has to be reworded in such an aggressive way, but the necessity of such is a main theme in the document. That our established systems are illegal, illegitimate and amoral. They serve only a mere fraction of the populous and dehumanize the majority. As stated in Occupy Wall Street’s Declaration;

As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments.

We’ll look at the third party to value, better known as money, and it’s arresting affects on our rights and freedoms in a later post.

Peace Love & Providence
