Why I Joined SteemUSA and Hope You Will Too!
Please do not mistake me for a flag-waving, war-loving, TV- zombied American. I KNOW our nation is on the verge of Civil War and World War, and I know our "elected officials" are in the pockets of banksters who make TREMENDOUS profit from war...
Do not mistake me for one who failed to see how Columbus "discovered" a land that was inhabited. I know the men who framed the Constitution took lessons from the Iroquois Nation and then excluded the "savages" from the human rights they laid out in the Bill of Rights.
I know the Federal alphabet soup agencies are treason in our back yard every day. I know the law enforcement agencies are training police to be a band of paranoid thugs. I know the Justice System is the "Just us" system, and that prisons for profit have made us an incarceration nation...
I know people are suffering; the poor, the Veterans, minorities and majorities now find themselves smashed under the Jack Boot of Federal Authority... Many places have outlawed feeding the homeless!
So what in the heck am I doing joining SteemUSA?! Sounds like I HATE this place... but I LOVE this place.
The Constitution was a step on humanity's journey, not the destination. It did an amazing job of describing our human (NATURAL) rights. However, Lysander Spooner was correct when he noted that the document either provided the means by which this nation became the oligarchy we see today, or it was impotent to prevent it. Still, the idea of rights belonging to the people is CRITICAL. We simply need to broaden the scope of humans who have been bestowed such rights to include all of them, not just Americans. Currently, US schools are teaching children that the government grants rights... that is a serious problem.
But we did a LOT of things right, things that had never been done before. This nation was the grand experiment that PROVED we can get along with people from other races and cultures. This nation has PROVED that hard work and ingenuity bring rewards. Now we have to prove we love truth more than lies... and before the internet we were at the mercy of the liars but we have a new tool now.
That is my hope for this group. That we can be the example, that we can PROVE that we are not suckers for "fake news" and that we do not hate people based on nationality or skin color... Basically, we have to stand up and be "Americans" - but we have to do it "Truman Show" style so the mainstream media, who wants us all to believe this nation is made of nothing but haters, can be muted once and for all.
So come on, my fellow Americans! Join up, lets start talking about all the GREAT things we can do TOGETHER to make this the "land of the free" once again! This is our chance to hold something like the biggest "town hall meeting" ever, and we really need to talk, my dear friends and neighbors!

Check out Cindy Kay Currier (her youtube channel is Rise together) and the "Law of the Land Handbook".... Cheers to you, my friend!
Hi @jkiw! You have just received 0.1 SBD tip from @fishyculture!
@tipU - send tips by writing tip! in the comment, get share of the service profit :)
Will do! Thanks for the tip! Never heard of her, but coming from you I know I will enjoy it!
I am pretty sure you will! She's my more or less daily watch on youtube... ;-) We've got the "Law of the land handbook" printed in many copies, haha... and have been building up our community here in the past years... step by step and just at the right paste!
Cool. I have been listening to her for a couple months now. Nice to meet you.
Nice thoughts. It sure would be nice if we could make things as you say. Things have gotten way out of control. Is it even possible to get back?
I believe it is. When I "woke up" there was no questioning the official 9-11 story without getting just hammered. I could not bring up Agenda 21 without being called nuts. We are coming around. It is 3 steps forward, 2 steps back, but the overall awareness level is rising.
(Adjusts tin hat...)
I think the Mayans nailed it. Before 2012, I was a very lonely little fish. After 2012, people who had dumped on me began crawling up and apologizing, and asking me to help them learn about silver or aquaponics or chickens... I believe it is not only possible, it is inevitable. :)
What do you mean by the "official" 9-11 story?
Ummm.. the one where 9 hijackers (5 of whom are still alive) hijacked and crashed 2 jets that brought 3 steel frame buildings to fall into their footprint at freefall speed under the direction of a kidney dialysis patient hiding in a cave.
Yep. It's illogical to say the least. The event could not have been orchestrated the way it is widely believed to have been. I am a US citizen of Pakistani origin. Currently, I reside in Karachi, Pakistan. Let me tell you something...Pakistan is NOTHING like how it's portrayed in the media. Not even close.
Having traveled extensively, I have a wider lens than most people. I've been to Abbottabad where Bin Laden was allegedly hiding in a million dollar compound. When I turned on the news on May 2nd, 2011 and heard Mr. Obama proclaim that his efforts had led to capture and death of Bin Laden, I couldn't contain my laughter. So, so, so many false things people believe. It's beyond my imagination as to why.
My husband was a dialysis nurse at the time. We laughed, too... And I am sure the media lies to me about Pakistan, they lie about EVERYTHING! Even TRUMP has expressed doubts about the official story, that is something...
Upvoted and resteemed. #cof
Thank you!
I agree with this so much! Thank you
Thank you!

One person can do nothing. One bee is one person, as a swarm we can strike fear and make it happen.
They do fear us, that is why they are forever seeking lines to divide us.
There's no denying that there are many forces working harder than ever to divide the nation that is supposed to be the "world's greatest nation". I applaud you for spreading positive vibes and messages. However, I'd recommend you try to bring people together on a global scale.
Our world is more interconnected now than ever before. You have a great gift: writing power. Use this to empower people globally.
Thanks for the kind words. That is sort of my point, we have to take (restore!) what was good about this country and then apply the concepts to everyone. I am not a globalist, I believe in individual rights being the ultimate destiny for humanity. All of us.
Thanks for entering! Good luck with the contest!
