As Good as Thomas Paine

in #freedom6 years ago (edited)

So I hope I can be as good as Thomas Paine. The last few months have been exciting for me. Many of you know that I met someone I have admired for years and joined his campaign for President. Adam Kokesh seems so exciting in his videos and I could have guessed that becoming associated with him certainly would change my perspective. What I have found by getting to know him is that, yes he is exciting, but so much deeper than that.

I consider myself a spiritual person, so is Adam in his way. While watching him fix food in my kitchen he explained to me that his spirituality really is Freedom. It, at that moment, reminded me of my studies into Deism and the writings of people like Thomas Paine or Voltaire. Adam is not that different from me, sure in practice we are quite different but not in purpose. Freedom is my spirituality to, you see, and as I learn more about the actual people who fought the revolution as opposed to creating this country, I have found that we have many things in common.

Adam talks about Love. That word is always on his lips. Love is what drives anyone who truly has a spiritual life. His depth is found in that word and many other words he uses. His depth can be found in the restraint he uses in difficult interviews when the person interviewing him says obviously racist things. Adam manages to disagree but not attack. Non-Aggression is another sign of his depth, when directly confronted and he manages to talk down a large man who came with the intent of having a fight. In his peaceful way he not only did not wind up in a fist fight but would up giving the man a book and a sticker.

That brings me to now, in the face of a police officer who obviously wants to take him to jail, less than an hour after he announced his candidacy and the second time pulled over in that hour, Adam is more concerned about teaching the three police officers about liberty than his own personal freedom.

That brings me back to Thomas Paine. I have the job, like Thomas Paine did of getting the message of Freedom out to the public, I am Adam's Press Secretary. Like Paine I am facing the most powerful Empire the world has ever known. I will not shrink from the call of Liberty. Again the forces of tyranny conspire to stop another R3VOLution in its tracks. They have made a mistake as tyrants always do. It is certainly their goal to intimidate Adam and those like myself who support him. Again, they have made a mistake, I will not sit down, I will not submit, I am not a slave, and I nor Adam are alone. It has begun!!!

Keep it up Marcus!

Intense times!

Great post!

Stay strong team!

Powerful words Marcus!

Adam has helped me soften my approach to statest when they defend their subjegation & call for mine.

This is such an important discovery. When engaging with others it's good to remember that they have an invisible belief system (Statism) and do not understand this fact. It's a package deal that comes with all the fallacies we hear. They have built-in justifications, denials, etc.. So being gentle is alway a good approach. <3

For me, I had to attack stinkin' thinkin'. I noticed when the temptation to give them a good old fashion toung lashing came, I literally have to take control of my mind & point it in positive direction. No joke, I didn't even reslize I was doing that untill I saw how gentle & loving Adam's approach is. In a good way, I felt ashamed of they way I had been talking to my brothers & sisters.

Keep up the good fight guys. Now more than ever, whenever the conversation about our soldiers supposedly fighting for our freedom comes up, I will tell them to look at what Adam is doing as an example. I have more appreciation for what Adam is doing as a patriot then anybody else I have met or known. Except maybe for Ron Paul, whom I have had the honor to meet.

That's a good way to help people consider that fighting for Freedom has nothing to with guns, tanks, and bombs and more to with education.

freedom of absolute right for all of us
