Independence dayToday we are reminded that back in 1776 the Americans fought to stop being ruled by England and to become a sovereign nation.

The Declaration of Independence was created which declared the basic rights of the citizens such as human equality, life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, the right to own property, and other rights that describes a government that is by the people and for the people.

The citizens of this time were informed and active. They were aware of the political systems and the balance of power between the government and the citizens.

But over time citizens became more trusting, more comfortable, and less aware. And governments need to be kept in check.

If you’ve read George Orwell’s Animal Farm, Old Major, a prize-winning boar, gathers the animals together for a meeting in the big barn. He tells them of a dream he has had in which all animals live together with no human beings to oppress or control them. The animals are able to run the farmer Mr. Jones off the land. They rename the property Animal Farm and take control.

At first the results were positive and animals were free and taking care of each other. Eventually the pigs took over and started acting like humans and carried whips. Their Seven Commandments had been reduced to a single principle reading “all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

The original freedom had devolved back into a brutal monarchy, only run now by the pigs instead of humans.
Have American citizens become too uninvolved and content? What human rights have we lost over time?

Medical Freedoms are being lost. There are many stories of children diagnosed with cancer being forced to do the toxic chemotherapy and radiation, despised the side effects that can include permanent damage such as mental retardation and even death.

Mandatory Vaccines are forced upon children now in California. Children are now required to have up to 65 vaccines before they are 18 years old. Even though there are no studies for the safety and efficacy, and even though they carry extremely toxic substances to prevent even mild health conditions such as the flu.

Health insurance covers mostly pharmaceutical drugs and surgery. Holistic and natural alternatives are discredited by popular mainstream sources run by pharmaceutical companies. Patients are taking pharmaceutical drugs and suffering long-term from health conditions that can be better treated by natural and holistic methods.

According to Thomas Jefferson, “If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.”

How bad will it become before the American citizens unite to fight for their medical freedoms?
