becoming free

Some people think that we live in the best world imaginable. They believe false appearances and see progress everywhere. They feel free, not realizing how imprisoned we are. They have learned to avoid fear, and embrace denial. They guard themselves from what they do not want to see and do not want to hear. They remain silent. Here one prisoner chooses to remain silent no more. She attempts to expose the lies being promoted and possible truths that maybe be found as she works on becoming free.

Debt Slavery

Has anyone been looking at the economy lately?
Are you one of thousands of Americans with high credit card debt incurred exercising your patriotism? Remember after the early days after 9-11 being encouraged to spend because it was patriotic and it stimulated the economy, especially for downtown NYC? Well guess how you have been rewarded?

Christmas came early this year for credit-card corporations, courtesy of Capitol Hill. After an eight-year multimillion dollar lobbying effort by financial-industry giants, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed their heinous "Debt Slavery" Bankruptcy Bill (S. 256/H.R. 685) last week by a lopsided 302-126 vote.

Is it me or has patriotism and debt slavery replaced freedom and liberty? As one of those who watch the signs of the times noted;

"......another possible career move for financially-desperate Americans: the military."
