Live free or die trying


"They are simply maintaining law and order, that 's all! The ones should go to jail are: Ki media and their followers ..."
My accusers formed a jury
The judge and the defense
The charges were made known to me
But not the evidence
----------------
O Freedom Lyrics

The policemen broke my door down
Dragged me from my bed
I asked them what was happening
They just ignored the words I said

They waved their guns in my face
Kept screaming out my name
Something terrible had happened
And somehow I was to blame


O freedom, what liberties are taken in thy name
In thy name
O freedom, what liberties are taken
What liberties are taken
What liberties are taken in thy name

My accusers formed a jury
The judge and the defense
The charges were made known to me
But not the evidence

There was no guilty verdict
Yet, still I was detained
Flown to another country where
Their methods are less constrained

O freedom, what liberties are taken in thy name
In thy name
O freedom, what liberties are taken
What liberties are taken
What liberties are taken in thy name

In our determination
To defend democracy
We must not destroy the safeguards
That underpin our liberty

For who will pay the price if
Injustice such as this
Turns our protectors to oppressors
And angry men to terrorists?

O freedom, what liberties are taken in thy name
In thy name
O freedom, what liberties are taken
What liberties are taken
What liberties are taken in thy name

Freedom in America is about to be deem as "enemy" of the President.
Hello, The President used the word "our enemies" to describe those who disagree with him. Freedom of speech in America is found wanted. Truthfulness is being suppressed and lies is being propagated as truth.

Example

A person who hath knowledge of using herbs to heal cancer and other dreadful diseases are muzzled from spreading this truth. The FTC & FDA sued them out of their freedom to spread it on the air wave for public knowledge who desire to know there is hope in using the substance.

In 20 years this person hath helped countless patients with his knowledge to heal themselves by using God given natural herbs. At the same time period FDA approved drugs killed over two million persons. And the FDA been working to silence him from helping those who need his help with his portion which never kill one person in 20 years of practice. Control, control,control.
