56. Thats how many signed the Declaration Of Independence...... 56, spread across 13 different colonies, in the days before airplanes, trains, automobiles.
They pledged thier lives, thier fortunes, & their honor; all against overwhelming odds. Signing the declaration was seen as treason by the British.
Some of them lost thier own life, or their wife, thier children, thier health, and/or all wealth & property they managed to accumulate...
Signing wasn't a rash decision, rather- they spent decades before trying to 'fix' what was wrong, and request/negotiate a non-violent solution with the Crown.
But- when all other avenues were exhausted, they knew violence and war was the only chance to break from colonial rule. They put absolutely everything on the line to achieve thier goal of freedom..... not just for themselves, but for all the generations that would come after them. For us, and for our children, and the future generations that we'll never even know personally. (AKA Posterity). The 56 signors from 250 years ago - wanted a place where American citizens could enjoy thier God given freedoms, for endless generations after them. And, I think many of them had the foresight to know that if it could work here- our model would spread across the globe.
Freedom is never free. And it must be constantly renewed, earned, and fought for again, generation after generation, sometimes against overwhelming odds.
Violence and war should always be a last resort, but all too often war is used under the guise of fighting for freedom, even tho in reality most wars are fought for the benefit of corrupt governments & central bankers.... who really dont care at all about the young soldiers sent to fight....I'm pretty sure that if we look at the past 80 years- we've been at war continuously, and hardly any of these wars would have been deemed worthy by the original 56 signors.
Rather- they would see that governments & central banks have used war to accumulate more wealth and power at the expense of the common man & woman..... these past 80 years have seen endless wars & combat deaths; ever increasing inflation & currency debasement; and gradual chipping away of personal freedoms.
However- this 80+ year period of endless war and currency debasement hasn't killed America, nor the ideals she represents. Rather- it has created a new resolve for the US to extricate itself from war fought solely to benefit governments & central banks; to restore personal freedoms; and to eliminate the ability of our own government & central bank (the federal reserve) to use all of us as tax and debt slaves.....
In short, we are witnessing the very beginning of a paradigm shift.
1) Government will again work as the servant of the people governed, instead of it's overlord.
2) The central bank (the federal reserve) will revert to sound money, and cease inflationary practices that enrich them at the expense of all of us.
3) Through achieving 1 and 2- the personal freedoms envisioned and fought for by the original 56 signors will be restored.
4) As others across the world see this unfold- America will again be the country they admire, cherish, & emulate as they overcome thier own oppressive governments and central banks.
Peace, prosperity, and freedom can all be ours... and our children's, grandchildren's, etc, etc. 56 people signed the blueprint for this 250 years ago today.
Happy Birthday America!!!
