There is nothing to say that someone, even many someones, could influence your idea of what freedom means to you. Yet You get to decide which ones you agree with or not. In fact, if you listen deep within and find that "knowing place" you'll discover this voice, your voice, speaking love, freedom, and joy to you all the time. This You, including the body in which it inhabits, is the essential You. And your You has inalienable rights endowed by your creator.
During the tumultuous time of the American Revolution, two very important and unique documents came into being: the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America. The intentions of our Founders were to create a place that led to protections of freedom to be who we are, believe what we want to believe, and live in a way that is harmonious with all of us and our unique characteristics.
So in essence, we incorporated ourselves before any particular corporation was even conceived. I say, that since We the People, aka America, Inc., have already created a corporation under an essentially democratic process, any and all businesses/corporations are simply subsidiaries, sub-units, and subservient of We the People. And We the People are equal shareholders of the USA. These demarcations of one set of humans from another set of humans is only allowable with the Will of the People in agreement.
By our good graces, and our responsibilities as good shareholders in the American Dream, We the People have the choice to change the rules, reassign our national intentions, remove and replace all those who have and are currently doing harm to the United States of America - including its purple mountains majesty and fruited plains, land, sea, sky and people - whether through aggression, hostility, negligence, or crookery.
No one is above the Will of the People, even if they constantly bombard you with the notion that you are powerless and insignificant. Through this trickery, and many other indoctrinating principles, a small percentage of people have consolidated "power" via these avenues. Using money as leverage, these corporations are extracting an enormous toll on everyone on this planet, especially in the neighborhoods, forests, and even national monuments that have made America so sacred.
Regardless of how all that came about, which will be revealed in due time, it is our responsibility right here and right now to stand in our own personal power. Choose to be who you are rather than what they told you you are, whether as an employee, worker, student, minor, criminal, suspect, or even terrorist.
It is the Will of the People that says that the U.S. Dollar has any value as legal tender. How much would these pieces of paper, or little digits, mean if another currency were to be supported by the People? One based on mutual respect, and value added not simply by capital alone but the blood, sweat and tears of each person who contributes to the creation of a product or service. Imagine your social capital as a building of your community's value rather than an endless extraction of value from living, breathing, sentient beings all over this jewel of a planet.
But remember, you ARE a powerful being, so use your power wisely. You could take a life for a cause, you could also spare that life in defense of their personal sovereignty. No one can give or take away the value of another. And a note of caution: by using the same militaristic, bombastic, sinister, and manipulative ways to "combat" the powers that be, you're only fueling their train of destruction.
When you are centered in your own sense of wonder, you create all around you the blossoming of a peaceful revolution that seeds itself with everyone you encounter. A community based on mutual-respect, dignity, sharing, and diversity is strong, resilient, and free. What world do you want to create for yourself?
