GOD SAYS KILL TYRANTS !

RESISTING TYRANNY IS BOTH A UNIVERSAL RIGHT AND OBEDIENCE TO GOD.

Stephen Lendman of OpEdNews points out that history is replete with lectures and directives on the public revolt against corrupt government. Even our own Declaration of Independence anticipated that we may find ourselves in our current situation, where our legislators and government have violated their fiduciary and responsibility to the people, in favor of select others and for their own personal enrichments.

St. Thomas Aquinas wrote: "All who govern in the interests of themselves rather than of the common good are tyrants...., ...If the lawmakers (i) are motivated not by concern for the community's common good but by greed or vanity (private motivations that make them tyrants, whatever the content of their legislation), ...one has the right of forcible resistance; as a private right this could extend as far as (KILLING THE TYRANT) as a foreseen side-effect of one's (LEGITIMATE SELF-DEFENSE)."

Later, John Locke, "the Father of Liberalism" and renown English philosopher, wrote: "there can be but one Supream (sic) Power, which is the Legislature, to which all the rest are and must be subordinate, yet the Legislature being only a Fiduciary Power to act for certain ends, ( the people's welfare and will), there remains still in the People a Supream Power to (REMOVE OR ALTER) the Legislature,

Thomas Jefferson wrote: "Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God." Our own Declaration of Independence cites the following: "...governments are instituted...from the consent of the governed...whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends ( acting in the people's best interests )...it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government...".

Indeed, suffragette Susan B. Anthony urged: "Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God". And we all know, that women would never have gained the rights that they now have, if they did not demand them and fight for them!

I am grateful to Stephen Lendman for incorporating all of these quotations into one article, for validating my feelings that common people have once again been victimized by our government, and for vindicating my sense of rage against, and intolerance of those legislators who's life's occupation is striving to exploit and enslave each of us. All of us can now take solace in the fact that the greatest of saints, philosophers, politicians and human rights advocates recognized that governments can become corrupted, and that when they do, it is both our right and obligation to dissolve that government; if we choose, and to reform whatever one might be in our best collective interest!

This is the point of, by the way, and the non violent; ( their personal preference ), process that Revolution 2.0 is pursuing: http://www.osixs.org/Rev2_menu_intro.aspx
