When Will You Have Had Enough?

Think people are free in the United States of America? This video will make you think again. It’s a chilling indictment of how the U.S. government is slowly but steadily dismantling constitutional protections of your liberties. Even the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution -- your right to the freedom of speech -- may be at risk.

One of the most poignant statements in this film is the quote by American politician Adlai Stevenson in 1952, who over 50 years ago said:

“The tragedy of our day is the climate of fear in which we live, and fear breeds repression. Too often, sinister threats to the Bill of Rights, to the freedom of the mind, are concealed under the patriotic cloak of anti-communism.”

"Today," the narrator continues, “it’s the cloak of anti-terrorism.”

All too often, it is fear that drives people to accept, without question, the numerous new threats to your personal freedom. They are introduced under the guise of protecting you.

This is the case with compulsory vaccinations, increasingly strict supplement regulations, and even the collection of the federal income tax.

Many liberties and basic rights are already being threatened, largely because profits and corporate greed -- not the will of the people -- are now the driving force of the United States. In my opinion they are your:

  • Freedom of Association
  • Freedom of Information 
  • Freedom of Speech 
  • Right to Legal Representation 
  • Freedom From Unreasonable Searches
Whether you agree with the statements made in the video or not, there’s one thing that most all Americans will agree on: the more that you become silent about important matters, the more your freedom will get chipped away.

Please, let’s not become silent about the freedoms, health-based and otherwise, that the United States was founded on. This Web site is an open forum for you to express your beliefs, and pass on important information to your friends and loved ones.

In 1952 Adlai Stevenson also said:

"It is far easier to fight for principles than to live up to them."
