The Endless Quest To Be Free From Tyranny by SHTFguy: 4:32pm On Sep 01, 2017
There is no such thing as a world without the consequences of tyranny. Tyrants are everywhere, always. There are little tyrants in our everyday lives, and big tyrants that pull strings from behind the curtains and from the darker places. There are people reading this article right now that think they are liberty-minded, but act like tyrants towards those around them. The greatest misnomer is putting "Progressives" in the same sentence with individuals and tin gods like Tinubu. This by far is one of the most complexing paradoxical anomalies that have spread like wildfire and turned a once truly liberal minded and progressively tuned people to eternal enslavement.

There are people who think they are slaves when one simple choice or action could easily make them free. There are people who seek to relinquish their God given and equated rights to tyranny and seek to supplant it....with an even greater tyranny of entitlement and collectivism/socialism. And, there are people who think freedom means freedom for them, but not for others.

The point is, we are forever dealing with tyranny, and many of us are forever working to topple it. As long as we are able to pursue that goal, we are still free. The true slaves are those that have given up completely out of laziness or fear. Tyranny is always present, after all; why take a bath today when you are just going to end up soiled again tomorrow?

I am of course speaking of the political gangsters and cabal cult of financiers and elites that make up the tyranny known as the Federal Govt of Nigeria - a modern day plantation; an extension of the City of London and their banksters.

The call for restructuring has been greeted almost unanimously with a negative response by these same set of gangsters that have held the Nation since 1966! Although they can be forgiven for their geriatric related nostalgia as most old people are naturally not to quick to accept changes, we must remind ourselves that these so-called elites established the Plantation Order when they were young men. To take away the powers they wield will not only be taking food from their table but also bringing a close to their decadent reign.

Our heroes past? More like our slavers' quest.

This generation is lazy. It isn't our fault. We have been whipped into line for too long that taking a contrary step without the nods of our so called elders is tantamount to treason. This is the tyranny we suffer in this generation - a generation of contented cowards and willing slaves.

The first step to escape this Prison is to free ourselves of being cowards and to rally against our jailers.

Prison Break anyone?

In prisons across the world and since their inception there are more prisoners who have accepted their fate and those who have also embraced their internment for whatever paltry benefits they benefit behind those gray walls. No matter the amount of regimented life the Prison warden introduces to keep the Prisoners reminded of their status, it goes without saying that a Prisoner will first have to accept his or her status as an inmate. This is why you hardly hear of Prison riots by all prisoners in a given institution coming together to plan an escape. They will rather riot for better feeding. Pathetic.

This is what the average Nigerian youth has become, a prisoner of his own cowardice.

The Prison is not the bars or high walls but our minds.

Africans are natural born slaves. And that is why we have been plundered and continue to be plundered.
