Terrorists and freedom fighters (small)

Universal human rights were declared by the UN in 1948 in response to the atrocities of WWII.

They are fundamental rights which a person is inherently entitled to regardless of their nation, language, religion, ethnic origin, politics, economics, culture, race, sex or other status.

It is declared that “all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights; rights such as freedom from unlawful imprisonment, torture, execution, right to a fair trial, protection against enslavement, prohibition of genocide, free speech, and education. It stipulated that these rights should not be taken away from people except when they are found guilty of breaking a law by a court.

The declarations were written by bureaucrats who were promoting globalization, so it is understandable that there is no mention of the right of people to separate and be independent from whomever and whatever they feel unwillingly bound to, whether it is a partner, a family, or a state.

Many wars are fought in the struggle for separation. Many people choose to flee instead of fight for their freedom and cause great disruption in the safe havens they flee to.

This was seen by the mass exodus of the Jews of Egypt 4,300 years ago,

the flood of immigrants to the Americas 500 years ago and

the refugee problem in Europe at present.

Many people chose to fight to their death for their independence instead of fleeing. This is seen by the long struggles of freedom fighters in Ireland, India, and many African and South America countries.

Recent examples include Ukrainians in Crimea,

Palestinians in Gaza,

Kurds in Turkey, Syria and Iraq, and

Sunnis in Syria and Iraq.

The tribalism prevalent 6,000 years ago and the trend to world globalism at the present are the extremes that define the golden middle of nationalism, where language, religion and culture bind people to a nation.

Nature demonstrates that when things get too big, they naturally break apart and erode into smaller parts.

Banks and governments have grown too big to fail and jail. Yet, most of us can freely and peacefully separate from most things we want - if we have the will.

We can separate from big banks by using crypto-currencies, or

from big governments by our votes.

We can separate from the big food industries and shopping malls by supporting local farmer markets and family run stores.

We can separate from the military complex by refusing to fight wars or

from the pharma industry by living healthier lifestyles.

We can separate from the hypnotizing and brainwashing mass media by changing channels and voting with our wallets.

We can separate from the collectivism that robs us of our uniqueness by becoming individuals.

We support amicable divorce for family couples unable to live together in harmony - for the good of the children. We should also support amicable separation for citizens who cannot live together in harmony in a nation.

Switzerland and Canada provide shining examples of how this problem can be more or less peacefully resolved.

After about 30 years of a struggle for independence, a referendum allowed the French speaking part of canton Bern to separate from the German speaking part thus forming the new canton Jura.

After about 30 years of a struggle for in- dependence, the French speaking part of Canada, Quebec, held various referendums for separation which narrowly failed.

They were given special status and acknowledged as a distinct society within Canada and provided protection of their unique laws, language and culture.

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

Voting with your wallet (small)

Democracy is a sham because the wealthy with fat wallets easily buy off politicians to serve their interests instead of the interests of the people who elected them.

Because of media brainwashing, we are addicted to be consumers of largely unneeded and unhealthy products. We are free to buy whatever we want or need from whomever, whenever and from wherever we chose. By boycotting big businesses that sway politicians from representing us, we have great powers of influence.

Nestle promotes that water is not a human right but rather a product that humans need, like food. They are lobbying to control drinking water supplies.

Monsanto is lobbying to control our food supply by gene manipulation that causes plants to produce sterile seeds.

Just one of the many factory farms that deplete soil and mistreat animals can be turned into 1,000 family farms that provide local produce that do not need to be transported around the world.

Just one of the many giant retail stores can be turned into 1,000 family run stores where shoppers have less need to use their cars and can catch up on local gossip.

Smaller hospitals can be managed more safely than larger hospitals riddled with hidden germs.

Smaller schools are much more student friendly than large centralized ones that need to bus in their thousands of students from far away neighborhoods.

Some of the reasons to boycott companies or governments are:

if they abuse human rights,

exploit workers,

employ children,

treat animals in a cruel way,

rape nature,

market products harmful to health and environment,

invade our privacy,

use misleading labels, or

avoid paying taxes.

With the availability of Bitcoin and Blockchain technology, even banks can be boycotted.

When corporations get too big, and fail, instead of protecting them with “too big to fail” mentality, we can just let them fail and let smaller firms grow to take their place.

Corporations that are too big are unfair competition for the smaller ones that get left behind.

They eventually grow into dangerous monopolies that threaten to take away variety and our freedom of choice.

Small is beautiful. Nature ensures us that if things, like mountains, get too big, they get eroded and crumble and get dispersed and spread out. When we put all our eggs in one basket, we can end up losing all our eggs. Life that is too old dies and makes way for new variety and new growth.

Everyone has a wallet and everyone can vote with it every day to protect themselves, their family, their earth and their morals. Unlike with normal voting where one vote, your vote, can be argued not to make any difference, how you vote with your wallet determines directly with what you consume.
