[This article is from an anonymous woman now living in South Africa. It was sent to me by a third party, and I have no reason to believe that it's bogus. In any case, I believe its relevance to the present moment is stunning. — CB]
Through my signature below I hereby withdraw my consent to be ruled by
the organization that has called itself the Government of the United
States of America.
A government is empowered through the consent of the governed to serve a sacred purpose, namely, to create a bright and sustainable future for its people and a biodiverse garden of its region. This purpose is possible.
If a government no longer serves its intended purpose then it is proper that each individual formally withdraw his or her consent to be ruled by that government.
Through a consistent stream of actions the United States Government has proved itself to be corrupt, having turned away from serving its original purpose. The United States Government has therefore failed, and is de facto illegitimate. Consequently, all of its authorities over me are hereby removed and the United States Government is hereby disbanded in its entirety. All branches, the legislative, executive and judicial branches, including all offices and resources, political, military, informational and financial, are hereby disenfranchised and replaced by local, self-organizing, bioregional governments and currencies that promote sustainable infrastructures and demonstrably serve the principles of integrity, transparency, interdependence, consciousness and the sustainable well being of their entire ecology.
Human beings carry an inalienable responsibility for choosing to whom
or what they pledge their allegiance. From this moment forward I no
longer pledge my allegiance to the organization that has called itself
the Government of the United States of America. We are dissociated. I
disallow that organization to legislate, adjudicate, use money, or make
agreements in my name, either nationally or internationally. I hereby
withdraw my franchise from the United States Government and I no longer
submit myself to its authority. I hereby abandon my United States
Passport as worthless, null and void because through its own actions
the United States Government has invalidated itself.
This document recognizes that the United States Government has
Irredeemably abolished itself by no longer fulfilling its true purpose.
This document announces that I take my authority back from that failed
organization. The United States Government no longer has authority to
represent me, tax me, detain me, question me, or in any way rule over
me. It can no longer take any actions in my name. From this moment
forward I take back my autonomy. I hereby declare my independence from
the organization that has called itself the Government of the United
States of America.
Although I alone, without reason or circumstance, am responsible for my
decision to withdraw my franchise and allegiance from the organization
that has called itself the Government of the United States of America,
I am willing to name examples of how this organization has betrayed the
purpose for which it was originally created:
1. The Government of the United States of America (herein referred to
as the Government) has consistently legislated in favor of a
carbon-based economy that multiplies corporate profits while
disregarding the increases in greenhouse gas concentrations to the
point where the future of all of humanity is now seriously threatened
by the consequences of global warming.
2. The Government has promoted the use of nuclear powered electric
generation plants creating millions of tons of lethal nuclear waste
products that can never be safely stored, and creating decommissioned
power plants that remain radioactive for eternity.
3. The Government has abused its leadership position in the world by
promoting fear-based military force as the international culture of
America, rather than a culture of innovation, compassion, respect, and
mutual support of humanity.
4. The Government over and over again, and still now is using illegal
DU (Depleted Uranium) weapons and devices in direct opposition to
signed United Nations agreements, degrading the United States of
America to a renegade country, likely to have its leadership regime
brought to war crimes trials and capitally punished.
5. The Government has promoted an unsustainable consumerism culture
that multiplies corporate profits while devouring the future's natural
resources and producing mountains, rivers and seas of toxic
unrecyclable wastes. The consumer economy never did have a future and
still the government promoted it wholeheartedly.
6. The Government has promoted covert military actions and subterfuge
that includes traffic in illegal drugs, illegal weapons trade,
assassinations, illegal takeovers of corporations and governments, and
ruthless competition rather than intelligent cooperation or creative
collaboration.
7. The Government has allowed itself to be infiltrated and corrupted by
corporate and elite regimes that now direct the branches of Government
to serve purposes contrary to the true and proper purpose of
government.
8. The Government has turned over control of the currency of the United
States of America (the original world currency) to private individuals
who manipulate it for their own personal benefit rather than for the
benefit of the world.
9. The Government has promoted a system of education that keeps people
stupid rather than developing their innate potential and well being so
they can create satisfying lives, fulfilling relationships and loving
families in the 21st Century. The Government has allowed corporations
and organized religions to control school curriculums, and has
permitted drugs, gangs and guns to define the school experience for
many children.
10. The Government has promoted economy over humanity in a value system
that shamelessly sponsors injustice, inequity, and slavery, not only in
America but around the world, regarding people in developing nations
not as brothers and sisters but as sweatshop slaves for producing cheap
clothes and the latest technological devices.
11. The Government has designed cities and towns around automobiles and
roads rather than around people, cutting people off from their own
community and trapping people in suburbs that are not sustainable.
12. The Government has consistently sponsored an imbalanced budget and
has accrued a national debt over one trillion dollars that future
generations must somehow pay back, meanwhile losing track of an
additional trillion dollars.
13. The Government has greedily destroyed the future of civilization by
developing an infrastructure, energy, food, housing and transportation
systems relying entirely on consuming vast quantities of hydrocarbons
that exist in limited supply, thus building a dangerous house of cards
that will now tumble down as oil, gas and coal supplies dwindle. If
half of the war budget would have been redirected towards developing
renewable power for the last twenty years, the entire country would be
oil free by now.
14. The Government has promoted a diet of fat-saturated fast-foods, and
hormone and antibiotic saturated beef, pigs, poultry, and dairy
products that endanger the health and general well being of its people,
ground water and farmlands. The Government has also promoted fishing
grounds to be exhausted to near extinction, and promotes deforestation
and dependence on pesticides and fertilizers that undermine foreign
economies but makes huge profits for corporations.
15. The Government has promoted the so-called patenting and engineering
of the genetic designs of life forms to be used for the profit of
corporations while endangering the future of the humanity.
16. The Government has promoted the introduction of genetically
modified organisms into the general food chain for the profit of
corporations while endangering the future of humanity.
17. The Government has used military force, assassination, and
political manipulation to overthrow other governments as a desperate
attempt to control remaining oil supplies for the purpose of
maintaining the illusionary value of a world petro-dollar to assure
profit for the corporations rather than assuring a bright future for
the people.
18. The Government has promoted a medical establishment that profits
pharmaceutical corporations and has blocked the development of less
profitable but more humanistic, holistic and intuitive healing
modalities.
19. The Government has persistently implemented legislation and
presidential orders to override constitutional rights, and has built
and staffed over 600 new prison camps across the country prepared to
imprison citizens who might be regarded as the enemy of Government.
These and other actions reveal that the United States Government has
irredeemably abolished itself by no longer fulfilling its original and
true purpose.
