CHAPTER 1: PUT YOUR WEAPONS DOWN If tyranny & oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy... The loss of Liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or imagined, from abroad... ~ James Madison 1836 We have been saying it for quite some time now, but again... We will reiterate for clarity. Put your weapons down, friends. This is not your war. To consider nationality is to consider place of birth. This cannot be helped by the individual who is being born, much like gender, race, and a slew of other things. Therefore, if we are to say, You are not American, you do not share the world with me; you have that part there & I have this part here & I will defend this with my guns & will expect you to do the same, so we will always deal accordingly, then we may as well say that those of African descent are born to be slaves, that women must become the sex toys of men, and that Indian is the proper term, if Savage is not used to describe that batch of dark-skinned folk who were hangin'round the trees when ol'Whitey with his guns arrived to colonize this continent. This is just ridiculous. Put your weapons down – all of you – or better yet, hand them to the men and women who are yelling in your ears for you to kill. Let them decide now if they would like to live with all the People's haunting screams forevermore. You are not a pawn. You are a Human Being, just like those who would kill you and just like those who would have you kill for them. You are not indemnified within your heart or your thoughts for having taken Human Life once you have taken it, but will always have to live with the image of a head exploding or a person pleading or a village decimated, or a batch of Human Beings that suddenly just do not exist because of some button that you touched. There is no greater good than sacrifice, friends – and if that sacrifice is one of your own Life so that he or she who would kill you may live to breathe another day... well... you may rest in Peace and know that you have saved a Human Life in doing so. The killing will not go on for long, if it is a slaughter of the innocent, and there have already been so many of the innocent thus slaughtered, therefore this means that it must stop and it must stop right now. Please... We implore you... see the beast for what it is and know that you have power. Make the choice and stand with Us in solidarity and Peace. Translate this to other languages and pass this on, so that everyone may know that – regardless of our nationality – We will not kill another soul, but will give up our Lives instead, if that would be the lesson needed for another thus to learn and soldier on in Peace. We do not surrender, but We will not fight. You may kill us, but We will not die. Peace is in our message, Love is in our voice, and We recognize all Humanity as One, regardless of a person's birth or taught beliefs. We Love you. We seek your voice and We wish for you to know that We are many. If you choose to stand, always stand in Peace and know that We stand with you. We Love you. <3
