A Declaration Of Courage

Consider this as a possible pledge to yourselves, the people you care about, strangers, and even those that have their own pledges to do you harm. *WARNING: There is mention of God

I DECLARE ALL THAT FOLLOWS – CALLING OUT AS A LIE – THE SOCIETAL CLAIM THAT CHANGE IS IMPOSSIBLE.

IT BEGINS WITH ME

I WILL WHOLEHEARTEDLY PURSUE TRUTH AND WILL NOT SPEAK, SIGN, OR WRITE ANYTHING THAT IS NOT, AS FAR AS I KNOW, THE TRUTH:

I WILL, INSPITE OF THE COST, SPEAK OUT AGAINST LIES:

“I WILL STAND ALONE, IF NEED BE, KNOWING THAT FREEDOM IS THE SURE POSSESSION OF THOSE ALONE WHO HAVE THE COURAGE TO DEFEND IT” – PERICLES:

I WILL NOT REPEAT OR SUPPORT RADICALLY PROGRESSIVE IDEOLOGICAL MANTRAS. I WILL WALK OUT OF STATE OF STATE, CORPORATE, OR PRIVATELY ENFORCED INDOCTRINATIONS ON THE SAME:

I WILL NOT ACQUIESCE TO THE STATES VIOLATION OF MY GOD-GIVEN FREEDOMS OF SPEECH, WORSHIP, CONSCIENCE AND BODILY AUTONOMY:

I WILL PERSEVERE IN THE FACE OF THREATS TO LIVLIHOOD, STATUS OR REPUTATION, IN SPITE OF THE PAIN OR MY OWN SELF DOUBT:

I WILL SUPPORT WITH MY WORDS, ACTIONS AND FINANCES OTHERS CONVICTED OF THIS NEED FOR A RELENTLESS COMMITMENT TO TRUTH FREEDOM AND CONSCIENCE:

ALL THIS I UNDERTAKE, KNOWING I MAY SUFFER LOSS OF THE FRAGILE CONSTRUCTS OF SOCIAL STATUS, COMFORT AND SAFETY. I AM WILLING TO DO SO, IN EXCHANGE FOR THE FAR SUPERIOR AND LASTING BEDROCK OF TRUTH UPON WHICH OUR FUTURES AND FREEDOM (AND THAT OF OUR CHILDREN) MUST BE GROUNDED.
