Food: The Elephant in the Living Room of Freedom. I ran across news accounts that Bill Gates (of the Microsoft empire), David Rockefeller (bank and oil baron), the United Nations, in cooperation with Northrup-King (the seed giant), and Archer/Daniels/Midland, or ADM, the corporate farming/chemical/seed giant were funding a “saving heirloom seeds” program for “posterity.”

John Colter: The First Mountain Man The sinewy, bearded man raced up the brushy hillside, blood streaming from his nose from the terrific exertion. He did not consider himself a fast runner, but on this occasion the terror of sudden and agonizing death lent wings to his feet. Somewhere not far behind, his pursuers, their lean bodies more accustomed than his to the severe terrain, were closing in, determined to avenge the death of one of their own. They carried weapons, though they were unlikely to grant their quarry a quick and easy death if they caught him.

Spreading Liberty With a Bayonet The United States has embroiled much of the world in its War on Terror, occupied Iraq since 2003, and bombed Afghanistan — all to “spread liberty.” Karl Rove alleged in 2006 that George W.

Celebrate America's Independence

56 Signers - The Declaration of Independence - 8 min. from AlanScholl on Vimeo.

A crucial moment in American history... 64 men met to discuss the options. They decided to issue their intent to break away from the greatest power on earth, with the largest military - England - to become a new, independent nation. They knew if they failed, it would become their own death warrant.

This document declaring boldly their intent, citing the rights that had been endowed to them by their Creator, and with the signatures of 56 brave men affixed was sent out to the world. After years of deadly war, suffering, and peril, the new nation was born in liberty and prosperity.

This is a tribute to those often-forgotten men - the 56 Signers of the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America who risked all so that we may be free.
