[Seattle-editorial] FEATURE PROPOSAL: Declaration of Independents

[jonathan lawson]

subtitle: DECLARING INDEPENDENCE FROM AMERICAN EMPIRE
title: A New Declaration of Independents

...The history of the present King George II, ruling over an ever-expanding 
American Empire, is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, 
tyrannizing the people and various states of America, as well as other 
nations, peoples, and creatures of the Earth. To prove this, let facts be 
submitted to a candid world.<br>
• He has refused to obey international law or bodies of international 
cooperation
designed to promote the greater good worldwide.<br>
• He has sowed fear among the populace and used this climate of fear to 
abrogate many of the rights enumerated in America's Bill of Rights.
• He has unlawfully detained many people, depriving them of due process
and the benefits of trial by jury or legal counsel.<br>
• He has deprived the poor and needy of essential services in order to 
bring more wealth to the wealthiest and to fund a military force of 
unprecedented size, power, and terror.<br>
• He has lied repeatedly to the people of this nation and the world to 
justify unleashing military aggression upon weaker nations, illegally 
killing innocent civilians, deposing governments, and appropriating foreign 
resources, in order to expand the power and reach of American Empire in a 
show of cruelty and perfidy totally unworthy of the head of a civilized 
nation...
