What it means to be free? What is freedom? Do you deserve it? Does your family and kids deserve to be free? What is the price of freedom? What it means to be human? Do humans deserve to be free? All the important questions. People keep looking at what is happening around them and they do everything but asking themselves these questions or they simply refuse to answer them. They do not understand that they already hold all the answers to what is happening around them. All they see is fear. They are consumed by it, and yes, even many of those who see through the deception and the web of lies.
I came to truly appreciate and cherish our freedom while living and working in two Middle Eastern countries in the 1970's and 1980's: Iran and Saudi Arabia. As a foreigner, I was exempt from some of the societal restrictions (to some extent), but had to otherwise be very wary of anything I said or did and there could be absolutely zero criticism of anything political, not in public. Media was censored heavily. Certain Western magazines were allowed into these countries, but they actually had censors who went through every single magazine and either tore pages out entirely, or used a black marker to censor text or photos that were deemed unacceptable. When you flew into the country, their customs officials pawed through your luggage and removed items as well. Overall, there was an underlying feeling of oppressiveness that is hard to explain to those who have only lived in America. So many people just don't appreciate the fragility of our hard won freedoms nor do they realize how quickly and easily they can be lost, and finally, they don't realize how important these freedoms are. As for that oppressiveness I last felt in the Middle East, I have started to feel it again here, it is starting here and we must stop it before it crushes us all beyond redemption.
Freedom is definitely not FREE! It is used as a tool to force, entice, deceive and ensnare people to function as expendable minions for the Ruling Class and Elitists. In life, nothing is really free; everything comes at a cost.

Sadly, Noam Chomsky has gone to the dark side and advocates for forced vaccinations.
Thank you Mello. You deserve to be widely read.
