Remember, Remember The 5th Of November

Remember remember the 5th of November,

that these wars of aggression,

this police state oppression,

hinges on one single thing—our cooperation.

It's not the tyrant at the top of the pyramid who has the final say 

like most are conditioned to believe.

The real question is not who is issued the immoral order.

The real question is why do you obey it?

Do you obey because you saw a shiny a badge, a uniform, or an official looking seal?

Did you think that those symbols of authority remove your responsibility to discern?

Or is it because those around you all complied quietly and you didn't want to stand out?

Did you think that since you were told that you were not in charge it was someone else's responsibility to ask these questions?

The truth of the matter is that no one REALLY stands above you.

In 300 years we are all dust and bones and the queen and the pawn both end up in the same box.

There are no bonus points for being a good little slave,

there is no retroactive compensation for accepting a life of indentured servitude

and there is no honor in bowing down to these criminals who claim to be your rulers.

Until you realize that,

until humanity gets up off its knees and looks them in the eye and says

No — I will not obey!

No — I will not comply!

Until you take your power without asking for permission,

there will be no justice and there will be no peace.
