Time Text
Most people agree we all have divine rights, sacred rights that cannot be taken from us, the right to free expression, the right to peaceably assemble, the right to access water, the right to pursue life, liberty, and happiness without undue interference from any person or organization.
But there's another right we often forget, the right to be safe in our persons and property.
This right, which is enshrined in many historical documents, including the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights, is one of the most important human rights.
And here's why.
Our world is becoming increasingly unpredictable.
Widespread psychiatric drug use, violent video games, and violent TV and Hollywood movie programming have caused rare but devastating outbreaks of extreme violence among imbalanced individuals.
The psychiatric drugs commonly prescribed to our troubled youth, and increasingly to our active duty soldiers as well, have well-known and widely documented side effects of promoting both suicides and violent behavior.
That violence, as we saw in the Columbine shootings of 1999, sometimes comes at a catastrophic cost to society.
In the world of nature, the right to self-defense is widely practiced.
It is, in fact, built right into the DNA of countless species of plants and animals.
Thousands of varieties of cacti, for example, have protective spines, plant weapons, if you will, which teach predators to leave them alone.
A porcupine has spines that puncture the flesh of would-be attackers and then hang on, resisting removal and causing painful irritations that teach predators to look elsewhere for food.
Turtles carry robust defensive shells with them as they go about their lives, and many species of insects actually launch chemical weapons at attackers as a form of self-defense.
As reported in Wikipedia, the bombardier beetle uses a violent exothermic chemical reaction to launch a boiling noxious chemical spray in a rapid burst of pulses from special glands in its abdomen, accompanied with a popping sound.
The oogpeister beetle will fire formic acid at attackers.
The devil rider stick insects can fire terpenes from glands on the metathorax that can cause an intense burning irritation of the eyes and mouth of potential predators.
Wood ants will spray acid at attackers.
Some dictodactyline geckos can fire a black or pale yellow sticky fluid out of glands in their tail for a distance of about a meter and with good aim.
Spitting Cobra can squirt venom from forward-facing holes in its fangs.
It aims for the eyes, spitting up to 1.5 meters.
The venom may cause blindness.
A bird that uses liquid projectiles in defense is the Southern Great Petrol, which produces a stomach oil made up of wax esters and triglycerides that is stored in the Proventriculus and can be projectile vomited on predators.
Some New World Tarantulas have a dense covering of hairs called urticating hairs on the abdomen that they sometimes use as protection against enemies.
Species with urticating hairs can kick these hairs off.
They are flicked into the air at a target using their back pairs of legs.
These fine hairs are barbed and designed to irritate and can be lethal to small animals such as rodents.
The California ground squirrel is known to distract predators such as the rattlesnake and gopher snake from locating their nest burrows by kicking sand into their eyes.
A wild female African elephant has also been observed to throw various material at an interfering rhino.
Some primates, including humans, of course, can throw objects such as rocks, sticks, and even feces as projectiles.
Primates that can throw are humans, bonobos, chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, capuchins, and certain gibbons, and perhaps even some baboons.
A chimpanzee in a Swedish zoo was observed to stockpile stones, yes, stockpiling ammo, to be used as missiles against visitors.
Why is all this important?
Because government officials and world leaders increasingly say they want the human species to be defenseless against predators.
The effort to disarm the human population is, at its core, a violation of both a divine right as well as the natural world.
Throughout nature, we observe plants, insects, and animals exercising their right to self-defense, including the use of projectiles hurled at would-be attackers.
That right is a reflection of natural law, and it is as important to the future of humanity as any other human right, including the right to free speech, the right to freely travel, and the right to pursue happiness.
But among all human rights, the divine right of self-defense is arguably becoming the most important right of all.
Why?
Because governments everywhere, at both the local and national levels, are cutting back on budgets for peace officers.
The very idea of having peace officers on the streets is that regular people could delegate their divine right of self-defense to a group of specialists.
If you have an emergency requiring defensive action, for example, you dial 911 to call these specialists, also known as police, to arrive at your location and deal with the threat for you.
But as more and more cities are headed into financial bankruptcy due to runaway debt spending, they are sharply cutting back on peace officers.
9-1-1 response times keep getting longer and longer.
Even violent crimes don't earn an immediate response.
It can often take 5, 10, or even 20 minutes for a peace officer to arrive on the scene, even though many violent crimes, such as shootings, are over and done with in two to three minutes.
The need for individual self-defense is greater now than ever before.
While the Aurora, Colorado, Batman movie theater massacre proved that local police cannot protect you, Hurricane Katrina proved that the federal government can't protect you either.
In the aftermath of that natural disaster, unarmed defenseless citizens were repeatedly robbed, looted, and even raped by violent criminals.
This was made worse by a military-led door-to-door gun confiscation effort that left many citizens defenseless against predators.
Many New Orleans peace officers actually abandoned their duties to go home and protect their own families.
And some were even shown in the TV news looting retail stores.
Chris, go ahead.
You were describing how you and your team were kicking in doors and confiscating firearms from people.
Did anybody resist?
Did anybody ever shoot back?
What happened?
Well, we had a couple of people resist verbally, and they got stuffed and cuffed very violently.
We'd throw them in the back of the five-ton or the deuce and a half or whatever, and then we'd take them out to the Greyhound bus station, which was the police station at the time.
But how did you and your team justify to yourselves and each other that gun confiscation would help this situation when it was a free-for-all?
I mean, isn't that a time when citizens need to be able to defend themselves?
It never, you know, like I said, I was just ignorant as hell.
And that's kind of something that I worry about with the kids today, you know, if they really realize what they're doing.
You know, I had no idea.
The only time it ever occurred to me that something may be wrong is we came up, we were down by the old French district, we came up to this man's house, He had a big wooden sign that says, I'm here alone with my dog and my shotgun.
Looters beware.
We thought, you know, it's funny.
Everyone stopped and took pictures of the sign.
But eventually we took his guns.
And we left them there with nothing.
You know, so now that you know what you know, now that you're listening to the Alex Jones show and you're informed, what would you advise people to do if this happens again?
What do you do when they stack right?
You know what I mean?
and they're prepped to come into the home.
There's no negotiating with us, trust me.
There was no negotiating.
If you resisted, you died.
That were the orders.
You give up your gun or you die.
It is becoming increasingly clear that the task of protecting yourself, your children, your family, and even your local community will fall onto your shoulders.
The theory of delegating security to a group of specialists called peace officers is failing.
For this reason, more and more citizens are choosing to take responsibility for their own protection, and following in the footsteps of Mother Nature, they are acquiring mechanisms that hurl projectiles at high speed in order to stop aggressors and predators.
Along with the divine right of self-defense comes the divine responsibility to de-escalate violence at every opportunity.
Those who understand connection to spirit and who live by a code of ethics neither seek out violence nor create violence themselves.
They avoid conflict.
They swallow their pride.
They turn the other cheek.
This should be the goal of all responsible citizens, but especially those who choose to be armed for the purpose of safety and community defense.
The most responsible citizen of all is one who despises violence and yet is willing to unleash it upon an aggressor in order to save the lives of innocent children or other would-be victims.
A firearm is a mechanical tool that launches small projectiles at high speed, much like the mechanisms we see in insects and animals described earlier.
The ethics of choosing to deploy such a system are embodied in the intent and the context of the situation.
Is it justifiable to cause extreme physical trauma and even death to a psychotic shooter who has already killed innocent people and seems intent on shooting more?
Nearly everyone would agree the answer is yes.
But here's the part that confuses some people who don't engage in clear thinking.
If that answer is yes, then it must be yes regardless of whether the act was carried out by a peace officer or by a private citizen.
If shooting a dangerous psychopathic killer is the right thing to do in the protection of innocent life, then it is the right thing for anyone to do.
It cannot be selectively right for some people while selectively wrong for others.
Peace officers, after all, are merely citizens who have been granted special permission by the people to become specialists in keeping the peace through the use, when necessary, of firearms.
Such delegation of power does not revoke it from those who delegated it in the first place.
Porcupines are alive today because they carry spines.
Skunks survive because they can launch highly offensive chemical weapons at predators.
Without these defenses, porcupines and skunks would be extinct.
It is their defenses that give them the opportunity to live, to prosper, to have their own children and to bring into the world their next generation.
For animals and plants throughout the natural world, the divine right of self-defense is equivalent to the right to live.
In the world of humans, the United Nations, the global governance group attempting to take control over all nations, laws, and regulations, promotes what it calls its Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
It declares that everyone has a right to life, liberty, and, quote, security of person, but it interprets security as that which is provided by the state, not an individual right.
Even if the right to security of person were interpreted as an individual right, which it is not, Article 29 of the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights negates all other rights and freedoms outlined in the previous 28 articles By saying, quote, these rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.
In other words, if the purpose of the United Nations is decided to be total global domination over the people of planet Earth, then all rights that are contrary to that purpose are immediately null and void in the eyes of the UN, including the divine right of self-defense.
As it turns out, local governments, national governments, and especially the United Nations actively seek to violate the laws of nature and restrict the individual right of self-defense.
They want you, the individual, to be defenseless so that you are forced to rely on them, the government, for your protection.
This is similar to the way in which the medical establishment wants people to be ignorant of the curative power of nutrition.
Vitamin D halts nearly 80% of all cancers, for example, so that the population remains enslaved to a monopoly of medicine that profits the drug industry.
Everywhere in our world, there are corporate forces and government forces that wish to isolate people from knowledge, from rights, and from awareness of those things which would empower them.
The gun restriction debate is itself a mind trick.
Gun restriction laws are not actually gun restrictions on everyone.
