We are constantly bombarded with the assertion that we live in the "land of the free."  Is it really true, or is it the BIG LIE which is believed only because it is repeated so often?

Over fifty years ago in 1956, Cecil B. DeMille introduced his new film, The Ten Commandments to the world.  In his remarks, he said,

The theme of this picture is whether men ought to be ruled by God's laws or whether they are to be ruled by the whims of a dictator like Rameses.  Are men the property of the State or are they free souls under God?  This same battle continues throughout the world today.

Yes, the same battle continues today.  There are many within the Empire who truly believe that every living being, every raw object, and everything manufactured or built belongs under their jurisdiction.

In the seat of the Columbian Empire (Washington, DC), there is an agency for everything under the sun.  Each exists for the purpose of promoting and propagating their ideals, and planning and perpetrating their sanctions upon the public...all, of course, for our protection from ourselves.

Because the change has been so gradual and because every little bit of our liberty has been given up to a good argument, we have become the property of the State.

The Israelites may have been uncomfortable as slaves in Egypt, but at least they knew they were slaves, today very few Americans can see their shackles.  We have become blinded to the chains which bind us because we are allowed to vote for our masters.

As I was growing up, the adults (and even the media) around me would comment on the foolishness of Russians voting for candidates who were part of "the system" and would never make anything better.  They were believing in a BIG LIE.

I wonder who is commenting on us today?

I remain in favour of a Free Tennessee.
