The 'Rights' Fascade - The Truth About Your American Privileges

In one of my previous post (See: Pooling Resources – Let’s Talk FEMA) I had included a short video about Martial Law. It was a great resource that included the very executive orders that had been passed that really define Martial Law. It was the only video I could find, surprisingly enough as I wanted facts with little to no opinions which is unfortunately the case in point when it comes to YouTube. Last night when I was checking my previous posts, as I do often to correct errors and check out links, I saw that the aforementioned video had been “Removed by User”. Sadly, this is a common thing with good videos on YouTube- they get censored, they get removed, users get flagged and accounts are terminated. I have seen it a hundred times before, and it will happen a hundred times more. In the coming weeks I will be adding a new section to The Disaster Caster, which will feature video posts. The original premise of the video posts was going to be “teaching”/weather segments (Hippy Dippy Disaster Girl anyone?)- I was going to dress up as a teacher, get a blackboard and break it down for you. Now that this has happened, not that it’s really that big of a deal or anything, I figure I should at least try to teach you the things you SHOULD KNOW. I mean, I’d love it if the entire world was educated on Gaia, the Verneshot theory, the premise of cryonics... so on and so forth- but I realized that I can deal with people not knowing that stuff.

What I cannot deal with is Americans, living in America, conforming to American standards and practices- but not knowing a god damn thing about the reality of important things like the very LAWS and RIGHTS we are in the country because. The rights that the Declaration of Independence stated cannot be taken away, the very things that this country was founded upon.

So what are your privileges?

You still have those 'rights' don’t get me wrong. They’re there, but as George Carlin said:

“Boy everyone in this country is running around yammering about their fucking rights. “I have a right, you have no right, we have a right, they don’t have a right.”

Folks I hate to spoil your fun, but… there’s no such thing as rights. They’re imaginary. We made ‘em up. Like the boogie man. Like Three Little Pigs, Pinocchio, Mother Goose, shit like that. Rights are an idea. They’re just imaginary. They’re a cute idea. Cute. But that’s all. Cute…and fictional. But if you think you do have rights, let me ask you this, “where do they come from?” People say, “They come from God. They’re God given rights.” Awww fuck, here we go again…here we go again.

The God excuse, the last refuge of a man with no answers and no argument, “It came from God.” Anything we can’t describe must have come from God. Personally folks, I believe that if your rights came from God, he would’ve given you the right for some food every day, and he would’ve given you the right to a roof over your head. GOD would’ve been looking out for ya. GOD would’ve been looking out for ya. You know that.

He wouldn’t have been worried making sure you have a gun so you can get drunk on Sunday night and kill your girlfriend’s parents.

But let’s say it’s true. Let’s say that God gave us these rights. Why would he give us a certain number of rights?

The Bill of Rights of this country has 10 stipulations. Okay…10 rights. And apparently God was doing sloppy work that week, because we’ve had to amend the bill of rights an additional 17 times. So God forgot a couple of things, like…SLAVERY. Just fuckin’ slipped his mind.

But let’s say…let’s say God gave us the original 10. He gave the British 13. The British Bill of Rights has 13 stipulations. The Germans have 29, the Belgians have 25, the Swedish have only 6, and some people in the world have no rights at all. What kind of a fuckin’ god damn god given deal is that!?…NO RIGHTS AT ALL!? Why would God give different people in different countries a different numbers of different rights? Boredom? Amusement? Bad arithmetic? Do we find out at long last after all this time that God is weak in math skills? Doesn’t sound like divine planning to me. Sounds more like human planning, Sounds more like one group trying to control another group. In other words…business as usual in America.

Now, if you think you do have rights, I have one last assignment for ya. Next time you’re at the computer get on the Internet, go to Wikipedia. When you get to Wikipedia, in the search field for Wikipedia, I want to type in, “Japanese-Americans 1942″ and you’ll find out all about your precious fucking rights. Alright, you know about it.

In 1942 there were 110,000 Japanese-American citizens, in good standing, law abiding people, who were thrown into internment camps simply because their parents were born in the wrong country. That’s all they did wrong. They had no right to a lawyer, no right to a fair trial, no right to a jury of their peers, no right to due process of any kind. The only right they had was…”Right this way!” - Into the internment camps.

Just when these American citizens needed their rights the most…their government took them away. And rights aren’t rights if someone can take ‘em away. They’re privileges. That’s all we’ve ever had in this country is a bill of TEMPORARY privileges; and if you read the news, even badly, you know the list gets shorter, and shorter, and shorter.

Yeap, sooner or later the people in this country are going to realize the government doesn’t give a fuck about them. The government doesn’t care about you, or your children, or your rights, or your welfare or your safety. It simply doesn’t give a fuck about you. It’s interested in its own power. That’s the only thing…keeping it, and expanding wherever possible.

Personally when it comes to rights, I think one of two things is true: either we have unlimited rights or we have no rights at all.
