Dark Days For Liberty As Journalists Trade Principles For Personal Security

By Tom Feeley

 "Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people" - John Adams, Second President of the United States, from 1797 to 1801.

October 21, 2020 "Information Clearing House" - Almost 20 years ago I read that quote by President Adams. I had been searching within myself for a reason as to why we humans and American citizens, in particular, appeared to be so easily manipulated as to believe that Iraq was responsible for the carnage that occurred on September11, 2001.

What was it that enabled a government to so easily distort reality and as a result involve its citizen in the slaughter of as many as a million innocent civilians in a far-off country that had never threatened or attacked us in any way?

John Adam's quote had provided me with an answer. In a moment of insight, it became obvious to me that we lacked "general knowledge" My own life experience had thought me that when I knew better, I behaved better. Surely then the way to ensure that liberty would be restored was to provide the information that was not reaching our people. From that moment on I felt compelled to do my part rather than wait for others to do so.

My experience since then has thought me that ignorance is a choice and that the great majority of humanity is not interested in anything other than our own personal security and comfort. That is true also of those we have trusted to provide us with information and facts, which enables us to make informed decisions. The media has disintegrated to a point where personal bias and a desire for security has placed the world in great danger.

Our government is populated by people who share that same defect. They have attained a position which has provided them with a sense of security and their fear of losing it has overcome all human principles that would secure justice and liberty.

Over the last 5 or 6 years we have witnessed this decline grow to a point that partisanships has resulted in censorship and exaggeration of facts in favor of one political party or another. This latest Biden laptop news proves without any doubt that even independent news websites, who have done much to fill the place of the presstitute media have in many cases fallen in fear of losing their readership. Rather than provide information, they refuse to publish anything that may offend their readership or their political masters.

Those who choose to act on principle find themselves tortured like Julian Assange a man who shows the hypocrisy of our culture and reality of our supposed values. As Julian suffers in a British prison for exposing the cruelty and destruction that our nation has inflected on the world, those who made it possible languish with our politian's while drinking the venom that poisons our planet.

As many of you will be aware I am not a member of any political party, I don't support any nation or social philosophy. I am not a teacher, I am a student aware of my own ignorance and looking for answers as to why we can't recognize that we are one human family whose only purpose is to respect and love each other. Perhaps I'm just a dreamer, but I would prefer to live in a dream than an nightmare. How about you?

I think the videos below demonstrate the reality I have described above.
